After finishing Hearths Warming Eve, Aurora felt very refreshed, just like a morning welcoming New Year's Day while wearing new underwear.
However, ponies don't wear underwear, and the New Year had already passed.
Aurora and Sunset Shimmer spent the entire Hearths Warming Eve holiday together; this was likely the most intimate time they had shared since they met, as they basically ate, drank, and slept together every day. Aster even joked about adopting Sunset Shimmer as his goddaughter.
It was just that one couldn't tell from Aster's face whether he was actually joking or not, but he was dragged away by Meteora right after he said it. Because his casual interference in the girls' time together was truly a bit of an eyesore.
Wonderful times always have an end, and as soon as the holiday was over, it was time to say goodbye.
After all, Sunset Shimmer was just visiting, not moving in, and she had to move back to the castle after Hearths Warming Eve. Although Aurora was a bit reluctant, she didn't say anything to ask her to stay, but instead accompanied her back.
Then again, since it was the start of the school season, Aurora also had to return to school, and she and Sunset Shimmer were just changing the place where they lived together, so apart from Aster, no other pony felt that this parting was anything sad.
Not long after moving back to the castle, Twilight Sparkle also returned. Moreover, the three of them had agreed before the new year on something to do after the new year.
"Bookcase Organization Day!"
As soon as Aurora opened the door with her key, Twilight Sparkle couldn't wait to walk in while cheering, carrying Spike on her back.
After the New Year, Spike looked a lot rounder; it seems the food during the New Year was much better than usual, as it had made Spike chubby.
"Take it easy, Twilight, the bookcase and books aren't going to run away."
Aurora followed at a leisurely pace, while glancing at Sunset Shimmer.
"The senior sister won't run away either."
"Where would I run off to?"
Sunset Shimmer also glanced at her.
"Half of the books in here were brought by me, so I definitely have to lend a hand to put them on the shelves."
Even that bookcase was built by Sunset Shimmer; such a ceremonial opening ceremony certainly couldn't be without Sunset Shimmer.
"Where should we start? Do we need to arrange them by title or by category? I really can't wait to see them all neatly arranged on the bookshelf!"
Twilight Sparkle brought over the boxes full of books and used magic to make them float neatly in the air one by one, just like a military parade.
"Twilight's magic has also improved very quickly."
Sunset Shimmer watched this scene and couldn't help but praise her.
Twilight Sparkle had only studied at the School for Gifted Unicorns for one semester, and she was also raising a child while attending school and studying. Half a year ago, she was still a Foal who couldn't even use the Levitation Spell very well; to have improved to this level in such a short time, it was nothing short of rapid.
"I've already made a list, just put them in according to this order. But I'm going to go wash a damp cloth to wipe down the bookshelf first; you two can count these books in the meantime."
