Description
==Alchemy==RARITY enters library, sees BERRY PUNCH at table reading, approaches TWILIGHT SPARKLE by the shelving.
RARITY:
Twilight, you are aware that she is in your library, are you not? I thought she was banned permanently after the, uh...incident...
TWILIGHT:
Who, Berry Punch? It's OK, Rarity! Turns out it was a simple misunderstanding that could be fixed with a proper labeling system.
RARITY looks on as TWILIGHT affixes a label to a shelf reading: "Shelving not to be used for micturition purposes."
TWILIGHT:
Besides, I need her help for a magic spell I'm working on.
From the background RARITY looks disdainfully at BERRY PUNCH in the foreground as the latter drains a bottle of wine while reading "The Grapes of Wrath".
RARITY:
She's helping you with magic?
TWILIGHT and RARITY talking heads, while Twilight motions to complicated diagrams and periodic tables.
TWILIGHT:
Yes! I've been assigned a classic alchemy problem: turning lead into gold! But it's never been done before because the starting material is all wrong. So I'm using a combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, but it needs to be in a specific configuration to speed up the process. What's more,since gold is so much denser, I'll need at least three quarters of a pound of material to make an ounce of gold, and that doesn't count material to practice with...
BERRY PUNCH approaches TWILIGHT and RARITY and tosses a small object to Twilight.
BERRY PUNCH:
Here'sh anudder'n. How many more *hic* do you think you're gonna need?
TWILIGHT places the object, a wine cork, on a scale as RARITY looks on.
TWILIGHT:
At least five.
RARITY:
Wine corks?
BERRY PUNCH lines up a fresh bottle with the cork screw she's holding in her teeth.
BERRY PUNCH:
Hot damn! Only two more hoursh 'till quittin' time! Then we can go get shomethin' to drink...

It amuses me, but when the throwaway gag about labelling the shelves is funnier than the punchline, you have to shelve it until something better shakes out of the concept...
