Even though she's moved to Ponyville for good, Twilight Sparkle still has a room back in the Canterlot Archives full of personal possessions, which the Archives would like her to kindly remove for the new resident librarian. If she fails to get her property before the deadline, the Archives will keep them.
The deadline is almost here, and Twilight still hasn't moved anything.
In desperation, Spike gets the other Bearers together in order to "help" Twilight move everything out. But that still raises the question: why has the usually so driven and dutiful Twilight been procrastinating so badly over this particular task?
