Potions and Wires

GAL has fully equipped with the cores, all mumbling in themselves. Though everytime GAL would talk, they would stop talking and listen to it. In the labatory, every mare and stallion that had worked on the project was shouting and screeching.

"World loaded at fifty percent!" GAL's voice boomed over the large group of the scientists, all with cider at the ready.

"This is amazing!" Prof bellowed over the sound of partying. "Just remember, you and I did this! No one else!"

"I know!" Domme shouted, lifting his cider up; a quarter of it fell on the two, making them laugh together. "We are awesome!"

"You said it brother, you said it!"

"World loaded at fifty one percent!" Making the shouting and chatter double.

"Hey!" Prof screamed again. "What happened to the element core?"

"You mean Companion?!"

"Yeah! What happened to i- her?!"

"She in there, just not on the outside!" He half mumbled, half shouted.

"Oh; to make the system more like the elements?!"

"Yeah!"

"World loaded at fifty two percent!" Again, the bellowing and the babbling grew louder.

"Good idea!?" Domme called.

"Yeah, it was!"

"World loaded at fifty five percent!" The voice boomed again.

"What was a quick jump! The element core must be working overtime!"

"Remember when it jumped from one percent to eleven percent? Everypony went nuts!"

"It was unexpected, that's why. Remember? It would only download one percent of the simulation, then crash and kill the pony inside... theoretically."

"Yeah, that explains it!"

"World loaded at fifty seven percent!"

"So; what do we do next?!" Prof shouted at the top of his lungs just as everypony else was doing.

"We inform one of the princesses about our success with MINECRAFT, then they will find the ponies suitable to use the simulation  then they will inform us about it!"

"Okay; any guesses who they'll pick?!"

"Possibly the element bearers, mainly because they are Equetria's official underdogs!"

"How are they underdogs?!"

"Well, from my history on them-!"

"Let me guess; you learnt that from the history core?!"

"Yeah, you can ask it anything! It knows it!"

"Okay, carry on!"

"Okay! Well, from my history on them; they weren't even friends to start with! One was a farmer! One was a dress designer and maker! One was party planner! One was a weather pony! One was a animal carer and one was a magic student of Celestia!"

"And they became friends?!"

"Yeah!"

"That must of been a miracle!"

"Yeah! It must of!"

"I see what you mean by underdogs now!"

"Thank you!"

"World loaded at sixty five percent!" It boomed again.

"How will this simulation work?!"

"Well, we had some of the more artsy stallions and mares make a HUD!" Seeing the confused look on Domme's face, he added. "A heads Up Display!"

"Oh! Like what?!"

"For health; hearts! For hunger; it's zap apples!"

"Zap apples?!"

"Yeah, you know Ponyville?!"

"I can say I do!"

"Yeah; well, Zap Apples are magical fruits originating from Ponyville, apparently they are delicious! Some of the ponies working on the heads up display love the things, so they are in there too!"

"Cool! How to they know what they are carrying?!"

"Oh my Celestia; it's pretty cool!"

"Tell me then!"

"Well, they have another HUD for it; it looks like a wood and has many different squares, filled with the stuff they are carrying! We made another program for the system to estimate how much weight the test subject can carry to help with the realism!" Prof smiled with glee.

"You clever son of a spear!" Domme smirked back with glee.

"I know, I know!"

"Seventy seven percent of MINECRAFT world loaded!"

"Come on, come on!" Domme and Prof both banged at the air as a filly would a table if they were hungry, seeing they were doing it; they both started to laugh.

"Great minds think alike, uh?!" Prof chuckled.

"No, it's more like; monkey see, monkey do!"

"Then you, my friend, are the monkey!"

"No, you are!" They burst out laughing a second time.

"My butt!"

"No, thank you!"

"Ha, ha!" He sarcastically shouted.

"Eighty eighty percent of MINECRAFT world loaded!" The voice boomed.

"WOO-HOO!" The crowd shouted with delight.

"They are exc-" Domme started up but the machine cut him off.

"Ninety percent MINECRAFT world loaded!"

"WOO-HOO!" They screamed again.

"They are really getting excited!" Domme shouted.

"I know, well we did just completed a project all these ponies!" Prof swayed his hoof over the dense crowd of drunken ponies. "That they have been working on for months upon months!" His face changed to deep thinking. "Correction; you just completed a project all these ponies!" He repeated his swaying hoof action. "That they have been working on for months upon months!"

"I know; I'm awesome, aren't I?!"

"Indeed you are!"

"Ninety five percent of world loaded!"

"Come on, come on, come on!" They chanted together. "Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!"

"Ninety eight percent of world loaded!"

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!"

"Ninety nine percent of world loaded!"

"Yes! Yes! Come on!"

"World has crashed, please restart!"

"A'www! Come on!" Domme shouted. "Come on, you worthless hunk of magic and metal! WORK!"

"Yeah!" A random scientist shouted from the depths of the ground. "WORK!"

"WORK, WORK, WORK,  WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK!" The scientists started to chant.

"Is this a lab or a cult?" GAL responded.

The crowd froze, hooves raised high in mid shake.

One scientist from the ground gulped and shouted up to it. "A lab!"

"Really? It would of only took one of you to check the world has successfully loaded!" The voice boomed.

"What?!" They all shouted back.

"Didn't you hear me? The world is successfully loaded!" The machine giggled.

"Wait... the world has loaded?!" One scientist questioned.

"Yes, it's loaded!"

"WOO-HOO!" They screamed at the highest and loudest their lungs would allow it. "DOMME, DOMME, DOMME!" They started to chant.

Domme just smiled and drank his cider.
