(Entering Twilight's castle, Tanzanite and Moonbeam begin heading down the halls)

Blue: Wait, you guys are just walking in? This is a castle, you sure she won't get mad at as for intruding?

(Moonbeam and Tanzanite just exchange a laugh and look back at her)

Tanzi: Blue, didn't you notice the guard by the door over there? *points to the door*

Blue: *looks back and sees the guard staring at them* Oh, yeah.. I didn't see him. Is that bad?

Moon: No, that just means he's fine with us coming in. Tanzanite is Sir Spike's son; He's practically royalty by affiliation.

Tanzi: Yeah, and Moonbeam is royalty, after all.

Blue: What?! You're royal, Moonbeam?!

Moon: *groans a little but gives a small smile* Technically, yeah.. My father is a Duke. He's not royal by blood though; He was adopted into the Royal Family. But I'd rather not be affiliated with him, thanks.

Blue: Oh, I'm sorry; I wasn't aware your parents were a touchy subject.. *she rubs the back of her neck nervously*

Moon: Oh, don't worry. My mother isn't; Just my father. If I can even call him that…

Tanzi: Over here, girls! The library is this way!

(Blue Moonstone and Moonbeam catch up and follow Tanzanite down a long hallway to the castle library)

Blue: Woah.. there are a lot of books here.

Tanzi: That's why it's called a 'library'. Besides, this is Princess Twilight's castle; Did you expect anything less?

Blue: Well, in all fairness, I don't know Princess Twilight all that well. I've only been here a short while now.

Moon: Don't worry, Blue, she's the best Princess around! Well, besides in Canterlot, the only princess around.. But that's beside the point! Come on, let's start looking for some books on dragons.

(The three of them split up and started searching the library. Blue Moonstone looked up and down a few shelves until she turned a corner and almost stepped on something)

Voice: Hey! Watch where you're stepping!

Blue: *picks up her claws quickly and pins her ears back* Oops, sorry! I didn't see you.. *gasps* Are you a-

(The creature stands up and brushes off her tail and legs, then crosses her arms and looks at her with an eyebrow up)

Dragon: A dragon? Yes, I am. Who are you anyways and what are you doing in Twilight's library?

Blue: My name is Blue Moonstone.. I'm a friend of Tanzanite's.

Dragon: Tanzanite, huh? *looks her over* Well, I see he found himself another Dragony to make friends with, huh? That's actually pretty cool. My names Aphrodite, you can just call me Didi; if you want to.. I don't really care if you do or not. *puts the book she was reading away*

Blue: Aphrodite? That's a cute name.. But I think I'll call you Didi too.

Didi: Yeah, most do.. So what are you here for? Did Tanzi come with you? *looks over her shoulder a bit*

Blue: Oh, yes, he did. He's gotta be close by somewhere. *turns and goes to find him with Didi following after her*

(The two of them find Tanzi knocking books off the a tall shelf)

Didi: Hey! *flies up to him with an angry expression* You're making a mess! Can't you just read the spines like a normal pony?!

Tanzi: Didi! What a nice surprise! Maybe you can help us?

Didi: Ugh.. Pick up this mess or I'm not helping you with anything! *pointing at the pile of books he's making* 

(Tanzanite looks down at the pile and then laughs sheepishly, not realizing how big it had gotten)

Tanzi: Heh.. right, sorry about that.

(Tanzanite puts the books back on the shelf the best he could. Moonbeam turns the corner and sees the three of them together and trots over)

Moon: Aphrodite, hello!

Didi: *turns and gasps* Moonbeam? You're here too? It's been a while, girl! *hugs Moonbeam and then turns back to Tanzanite and Blue*

Tanzi: I always forget you two were in the bookclub together..

Didi: She's the only other pony who understood my opinions on the books we were reading. No other pony wanted to give me the light of day about my ideas.

Tanzi: That's because they were always pessimistic. You were a downer, Didi.

Moon: I wouldn't call her that, she just has a different way of seeing the world.

Didi: Thank you!

Blue: Alright, well, Tanzi is done putting the books back.. Can we get back to why we came here?

Tanzi: Right.. Didi, we came to try and get some information on the Dragonlands for Blue Moonstone, here. She doesn't know where she came from or who or what she even is; So we thought Twilight would have some information about us or the Dragons that could help us figure something out.

Didi: Well that's easy, the Dragon Lore section is over this way.

(Aprodite leads the group to the back wall of the library. Blue's eyes widen at the array of books infront of her)

Blue: There's more than I thought there would be..

Didi: Yeah, after we befriended the Dragonlands and gained allies with Lord Ember; Twilight was able to get a lot more information on our kind.

Blue: Are you saying Princess Twilight wrote most of these books?!

Tanzi: Yeah, that's nothing out of the ordinary. She probably wrote half this library. *laughs*

Blue: Wow.. that's impressive.

Voice: Thanks! I'm quite proud of it, myself!
