[For most of the day, Robin will be in the library. There is a sign tacked on the door reading:

Those with outstanding fines or books overdue two weeks or more will be severely penalized in three days time. It's recommended you take care of this now. ~Robin Nico. Head Librarian.


She herself will be inside the library all day, awaiting frantic returns and/or deposits before someone comes to remind her that she is going to be late for dinner again. Feel free to stop by at any time.]

Oh. [ Twilight stares at the extra item. Right. Sometimes her completionist mind misses the most obvious things. ]

But how will I know if I can check it off?

[toujoursfluer]

Hmm. Good question. [she finishes the last of her coffee and regards the young pony over the cup] Can you think of an answer?

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Uhh... Not really. Fun is qualified differently depending on the situation and the desired emotions derived from it. I'm not sure there is an answer.

[toujoursfluer]

And what are your desired emotions? [Robin sets the cup down and puts her hands on either side of Twilight's neck] Close your eyes, breathe in deep and listen to your heart. What does it tell you?

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Twilight does as her mom asks, comforted by her warm embrace. Her mom is no stranger to meditative exercises such as this one and by extension neither is she. She reaches into her core and tries to figure out what exactly she wants from homecoming dance. ]

To be... happy, nervous... energized, uh... loose. Social, a little. [ Twilight's still not entirely used to that aspect yet. ]

[toujoursfluer]

And dance with all the cute boys. [well she's teasing Twilight a little, even if she is serious] But try not to break their hearts.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Twilight rolls her eyes a little. Mom. ] No fear of that. But if there's any chance you'll be having grandkids, you'll be the first to know.

[toujoursfluer]

Who said anything about grandkids? I just want you to have fun. [and anyone who hurts her will have much greater to fear than what the warning on the door will provide]

It's alright, you know. You're free to do whatever you want so long as you have fun. [Robin takes the dishes and puts them in the sink] If you're not busy in the next few weeks I have an idea for a project for you.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Oh, let me! [ Twilight hurries into the room (knocking something over on the way, no time to see what it is), and climbs up on a convenient stool to get the dishes. She begins scrubbing at them. It's the least she can do. ] What sort of idea?

[toujoursfluer]

[So helpful. Robin will never understand how she manages with her hooves]

Well your brother may be starting baseball soon and I was wondering if you would like to go to his games, note his staistics-- perhaps find ways for him to improve his abilities on a more...intellectual level.
