Cosette actually made it in to the library on time, which was a bit of a surprise given how lost she'd gotten early in the morning in the hedge maze she just couldn't help wanting to explore.

And then she'd slipped on the streets -- which appeared to be made of soap now -- and gone bouncing down them like a rubber ball, high arcing bounces complete with silly sound effects. She appreciated not actually being hurt by the incident . . . that is, once she had reassembled herself after shattering into hundreds of tiny pieces on impact and getting swept up by a self-operating dustpan and broom.

But she was here now! This had all been quite entertaining yesterday, but now it was getting to be quite a --

A piano came plummeting out of thin air as she pushed open the library doors, squashing her flat, and it was a few seconds before a very flat Cosette slid out of the edge of the impact crater, fluttered to the floor, then popped back into three-dimensional form again.

-- a hassle, she finally managed to think, swatting cartoon birds away from her still slightly dizzy head. It was getting to be a dreadfully inconvenient hassle.

Tali looked up from the books she was flipping through. "Usually when people say something is interesting, there's a good chance it means things just got complicated."

"I suppose," Obi-Wan said mildly. He held out the first journal. "There should be a work called the 'Elements of Harmony' by a mr. Starswirl. Somewhere. The one problem is that apparently it's written in a foreign alphabet."

". . . of course."

Tali leaned forward to peer at the journal. "But the book's here, in the library somewhere? That shouldn't be too much of a problem, as long as we can get our hands on it. I'll have to make some adjustments to my translation software, but I should be able to get it to figure this out."

She huffed a faint, muffled laugh. "Even if I have to scare it into finishing the job."

"I'm not certain about the book's presence, but it is the best we have." That much was true, at least. "The second journal contains a thorough description of what it is supposed to look like."

It was getting offered to Tali, as well. "In either case, I hope your translation software will be appropriately terrified for the job."

"Oh, I'm a lot scarier than I look," Tali said mildly as she took the journal, not really sounding like she expected that statement to convince anyone. "All right, I'm going to go see if I can track this book down, and then get to work."

She shot a look in the direction of the stacks that could only be interpreted as a glare.

"Let's hope I don't get a banana cream pie in the face and meet my doom in the process."

"May the Force be with you," Obi-Wan said, inclining his head. "I will also keep an eye out for it, of course."
