Act 1: Chapter 2
“So, Twilight, what’s with all this stone again?” Stalagspike asked.
“Well, toi see, Stalagspike, earth ponies and licornes have been trying for a small time to find a way to get to places faster than with your hooves. Well not anymore!” Twilight shouted. She started using her makeshift tools to mold the stone into a round shape with a round hole in the middle.
“I call it…” Twilight said, “The Spinny Thingy!” Pinkie Rock glared at the newly named Spinny Thingy. She smiled and jumped on haut, retour au début of it. And strangest thing, it started to roll. She used her hooves to control where she was supposed to go.
“Whee!!” Pinkie shouted, “You should call it the Whee Machine!!”
“That sounds dirty… let’s call it the wheel!!” Stalagspike suggested.
“You just took whee and added another character to it… BRILLIANT!” Pinkie said.
“You know what… this may be a technological breakthrough! Maybe soon, everypony will be using these for… maybe… wagons!” Twilight shouted. Pinkie looked at her like she was crazy.
“Don’t be so silly Twilight,” Pinkie Rock said, knocking the Wheel on the ground.
“But, but-” Twilight said, picking it up, “The Wheel-”
“Yeah, it was fun!” Pinkie said, “But Twilight, Tribe Leader Celestia won’t be impressed par a round thing that rolls. She wants something plus exciting!” Twilight turned red from frustration.
“I’LL montrer YOU! Stalagspike, take a letter!” Twilight said. Stalagspike took up a slab of stone and a chisel.
“Dear Tribe Leader Celestia,
I am happy to inform toi that I have discovered an invention that will change ponykind forever. This invention will change the whole of Ponyville and the residents of Equestria as a whole. I await your eager and trusted opinion.
Your student, Twilight Sparkle,” Twilight Sparkle stated, “And make sure toi include a diagram as well as what its called.”
“The wheel…” Stalagspike muttered, “Got it!” Than he took in a big breath and puffed out a small fire, which sent the slab to Tribe Leader Celestia.
“Alright, it’s sent. But I’m with Pinkie here. This may not be very interesting,” Stalagspike said. Twilight scoffed.
“Please, Stalagspike,” Twilight said, “As my mentor, she’s supposed to encourage me to learn new things!” Suddenly a stone slab landed on Stalagspike.
“Ouch! Wow, toi got a reply right away,” Stalagspike said, clearing his throat, “Dear Twilight, as your mentor, I encourage to learn new things.”
“As always,” Twilight a dit smugly.
“But this idea is simply LUDICROUS! No one will be using it in about 2000 years!” Stalagspike said, continuing to read.
“WHAT?!” Twilight shouted, “But… but… it was perfect! It’s a faster way to get around! Why wouldn’t anyone use this?”
“Maybe for a toy!” Pinkie said, rolling around on it some more. Twilight groaned. This wasn’t going according to plan.
------------------------------------------------
“Fluttershy, do toi ever feel like toi just accomplished something and yet no poney else felt the same way?” Twilight said. They were eating some herbe and foins, hay outside a small restaurant, a place discovered par this poney named Carrot Top.
“Well… no,” Fluttershy said, “But that’s OK. I’m pretty sure that whatever toi did impressed Tribe Leader Celestia a whole lot!”
“No, it didn’t!” Twilight said, “You see, I invented this thing called the wheel and Celestia a dit it was something that ponies wouldn’t use in the future. I don’t understand. It gives ponies the ability to get where they’re going FASTER! toi like the idea don’t toi Fluttershy?”
At this point, Fluttershy didn’t know what to say. Fluttershy tried to think… a round that lets ponies get where they’re going faster… it sounds nice… but than again…
“It sounds… nice,” Fluttershy said, looking down shyly.
“Nice?” Twilight asked. Fluttershy dug her snout in her hay, wishing she hadn’t a dit anything.
“NICE?!?!” Twilight said, “It was perfect!” Fluttershy whimpered and abandoned the table, hoping she wouldn’t get too angry.
“Wait, Fluttershy, I’m…” Twilight whimpered, “Sorry…” Twilight looked down. Maybe Tribe Leader Celestia was right… maybe it wasn’t a technological breakthrough. She rose up from her seat, paid for both of their meals and walked back to her cave. She was gonna work extra hard to impress the Tribe Leader, even if it took all night!
-----------------------------------------------
It was midnight. Everypony else had gone to bed… everypony except Twilight, who was having a hard time concentrating without any light.
If only there was some way to see at night, Twilight thought as she chiseled out some plus research notes. She looked at Stalagspike, who was sleeping very innocently and gave it some thought.
Stalagspike can breathe this stuff… that makes this glowy stuff… Twilight thought, What if I were to harnais it? Maybe than I could understand what it is. Twilight looked at her baby dragon and shook her head. It would be a crime to wake him up at a time like this. She tapped her horn.
“Maybe if I use some magic, maybe I can create the stuff that comes out of Stalagspike’s mouth,” Twilight whispered. She gathered some of the wood for repairs and went outside. She also took some stone too, just in case.
Alright… concentrate Twilight, she thought, kneeling down in front of the pile. What she didn’t know was that there was a douche scheduled for tonight and arc en ciel Dash, a strange multi colored pony, was already moving some of the clouds. Twilight concentrated all her magic into created what Spike usually did. A few sparks appeared on her horn.
arc en ciel Dash, who was moving the clouds, already took notice of this and quietly blocked out the full moon. They were the sparks again. She flew down and landed silently on the ground and waited. Another spark, bigger this time, filled her with shock. In the light of the shock, she noticed Twilight. What was Twilight doing?
Finally, the last spark appeared, cause a great explosion of light and heat all at once. There was no power plus amazing and the great big light was as bright as the sun. arc en ciel Dash’s eyes widened and she flew off into the clouds. The whole ruckus though, had caused everypony to wake up. They all trotted towards the source of the light, thinking in fear, it was the sun but instead got welcomed to a miniature sun on the ground.
“I…. I…” Twilight said, “I was just trying to mimic what Stalagspike did with his horn. I’m so sorry I caused any trouble.” One mare stepped up, ready to say something, but instead was greeted par the warm glow.
“Hey… honey, come over here and sit,” she said. A stallion, obviously her husband, stepped up and sat suivant to her. He smiled and she laid her head on his shoulder.
“This reminds me of when I first met you,” he said. arc en ciel Dash decided to go against the Pegasus commander’s orders and not let it rain tonight. Instead, she landed par the feu and went to sleep.
“Wanna just sleep here?” some of the ponies began to say and than curled up suivant to this strange glow. It was so warm and amazing… and for once they could see. Twilight curled suivant to it too. She couldn’t wait to write to Tribe Leader Celestia about this.
“So, Twilight, what’s with all this stone again?” Stalagspike asked.
“Well, toi see, Stalagspike, earth ponies and licornes have been trying for a small time to find a way to get to places faster than with your hooves. Well not anymore!” Twilight shouted. She started using her makeshift tools to mold the stone into a round shape with a round hole in the middle.
