Strife was probably the only pony visiting the Library for this particular reason, it was a humiliating one, atleast thats what she believed. She walked through the bookcases, seeing all kinds of fascinating books, but none that she looked for. In her head, she'd assume they'd have those kind of books here... she looked through each bookshelf before finally stumbling upon a book with a cover that she assumed meant well it had a stallion and mare on it, hugging each other, her heart melted at the picture and without even bothering with the title she opened the book and read through it quickly, realising this was absolutely not what she was looking for she closed it and put it away Mom what were you talking about, there's no books here that can help me getting a relationship... all I can find is books about how amazing life is with a special somepony Strife had always wondered since she was a little filly, why she was one of those mares stallions didn't seem too bother with, she didnt really care when she was a filly, but later on the lack of a special somepony made her feel lonely, it drove to all kinds of wild assumptions, thinking she didnt have the looks, or maybe they thought she was a mean pony. they had told her to start dating, but she always shy away at that thought.. maybe she was simply to shy, maybe that was her problem, so she continued, this time franticly searching for a book that could help you get over shyness. In her head this made her giggle a bit, after all it was quite funny how when she was on duty she'd shy away from no pony at all, and when she isn't she's like the shyest pony she knew of, it was probably because the armor re-assured her, she put a stack of books on a table and began reading through them.. no, no no no NO! this is pointless, why can no pony help me? she sobbed inwardly, put kept her guardsmare pokerface up no matter what c'mon girl, your a guardsmare, no crying or weeping allowed! she shook her head at her own thought I cant let myself turn into one of those emotionless ponies, maybe thats my problem.. maybe I seem to emotionless! and like that, with renewed faith, she went searching for a book on emotions.
