'''''Perfection: The Impossible Pursuit''''' is a book that {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} checked out at the [[Canterlot Library]] prior to moving to [[Ponyville]]. 

==History==
As she had the book checked out for years by the time she found it again, when {{FIM|Princess Celestia}} mailed her it as well as a crate filled with items she left in Ponyville, she realized she hadn't returned it in years. When she tried to, she was confused to see that [[Dusty Pages]] wasn't the librarian anymore and the current [[Canterlot Library librarian|librarian]] didn't know who Dusty even was. When the librarian learned that the book was severely overdue, she codemned her to the [[Basement of shame]] to return it to [[First Folio]] in the [[Grossly Overdue Book Return Office for Ponies Who Should Know Better]].

First Folio went out to eat at the [[The Tasty Treat|Tasty Treat]] with {{FIM|Moondancer}} and told Twilight she was "forced" to leave. Worried that she indirectly caused Dusty to get fired, Twilight managed to track Dusty Pages down to the [[Silver Stable Community]] and wanted her to get her job back. However, Dusty Pages didn't want to get her old job back and was happy living her golden years in the community. After a food fight incident, Dusty explained to her that she was holding herself up to an impossible standard and wasn't enjoying her life as a result and helped Twilight realize the truth of the book, how it was about the impossible pursuit to become perfect.
