Inventing Happiness

by Octorocktopus
The continuing tale of life in Ponyville: as told from the perspective of a socially awkward goblin immigrant and inventor.

Tinker was always the black sheep of her family. Though she is as greedy as the rest, while they preferred to play the goblin nation's stock-market, Tinker enjoyed creating various gizmos and gadgets for honest selling. Unfortunately, her own inventions always seemed to be quickly outclassed by those coming from leading companies (and sometimes tended to blow up).

This was until one day, Tinker had an idea. An idea that would send her half-way across the world. If her own people didn't want her inventions, perhaps she could make it big in a much more primitive nation...

Will Tinker find that money doesn't make the girl, and learn that the magic of friendship conquers all ambition? Well, probably not. She is a goblin after all. However, with a bit of effort, perhaps the socially awkward goblin will learn that friendship may be worth something after all...
