Books floated through the air as Twilight analyzed their titles one by one. Big Macintosh followed closely behind her, narrowly avoiding the books that she dropped behind her.
"I might look a bit into gardening myself," Twilight said as she filed through more books. "After reading the 'Super Naturals' book that Zecora told me about, I've been really interested in the local flora around Ponyville."
As she spoke, she hadn't noticed a mound of books collapse near her hoof. She tripped and cried out, bracing her body for the impact to come. Instead falling of wooden floorboards and sharp-edged books however, she'd collided with something much more warm and cushioned.
"Careful there Twilight," Big Mac smiled at her as she pulled stood herself up from his side.
"I'm so sorry Macintosh," Twilight said embarassed. "I guess I need to pay better attention to where I'm going."
"Ya know, Twilight," Big Mac said. "There's a lot to be admired about Ponyville. If ya spend all yer time with yer eyes glued to the pages of a book instead of what it is yer supposed to be studyin', ya might end up missin' out on somethin' truly beautiful out there."
Twilight felt her face grow steadily warmer as she met Big Mac's eyes with her own. Big Mac shuffled through the pile that had tripped Twilight, pulled out a book on gardening with his mouth, and placed it into his saddlebag.
"Thank ya for yer help Twilight," he said. "Ah'll make sure Applebloom takes good care of yer book."
Big Macintosh carefully made his way to the door and Twilight followed him out. |
