Twilight Does Things

Like every Sundays, Twilight received a letter from the Princess,

...but this time, it was blank. Wordless. Nothing.

"What's up with that letter?" Twilight smelled the letter. "Spike! Go open the secret laboratory door, we're going to do some tests on this thing, it might hold some secrets." Twilight said.

Her super secret lab was kept completely secret from all of Equestria for obvious reasons;

Once inside of it, she stopped being Twilight, the bookworm, and became Professor Magic: the genius, prodigious, testing mare.

Her experiments varied from tormenting the God Creator of the Universe that she captured and put in a jar, to watering flowers with bird acid (home made of course).

Today, the experiment was going to be simple: force feed the letter to one of her test subjects, in the hopes of transporting her in a Paper Mare, or a new word.

"Hello 48!" Twilight greeted the mare behind the iron bars, throwing the rests of her lunch next to her. "Today's meal is five peas, and half a carrot. Remember to chew!"

The pegasus jumped on the meal, and ate the whole dish in a few seconds.

"I'm quite impressed 48, usually it takes you between 8 and 17 seconds to eat your lunch, but this time, it only took you 6 seconds! Let's aim for 1 second, okay?" Twilight patted the head of the weak mare though the bars. "For your information, I also slipped bits of paper touched by Celestia's magic in your dish. You should feel proud."

"W-Why master do that?" the mare whispered.

"Oh for no reason. Well, it could turn you in a Windigo or an abstract concept, for all I know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

After a few seconds, 48's eyes began glowing a bright golden, and the laboratory began shaking violently.

"Amazing! I don't know what's happening, but it's amazing!" Twilight was yelling, over the powerful wind created by the now floating pegasus.

"WHat'S hAPpEninG tO Me! HELp Me!" 48 cried, with a distorted voice.

"Incredible! It looks like the magic induced in the letter gave subject 48 the power of ultimate friendship! Maybe if I ate her, I'd gain her powers for myself...I'll have to write this down for another day." Twilight said, scribbling notes on her paper.

"48, tell me how you feel."

"I'M BURniNG iNsiDE! IT huRtS!"

"Well that's nice. Now tell me, do you feel friendship in your heart, or something relative?"

"My hEArT BurNs!"

"Perfect!" Twilight wrote a few notes, and added: "How does your right kidney feel?"

"IT BUrNs! EVerYtHiNH bUrnS!"

"Interesting. The friendship induced subject seems to have gained regenerative properties, but tests to affirm this theory are to be put on hold for now." Twilight wrote the new information on her report. "48, I need you to focus your energy and shoot a burst of magic at Spike. SPIKE, COME HERE!"

"Twilight, what's going o-" Spike couldn't finish his sentence as he was hit by a rainbow laser.

After the cloud of dust dissipated, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Incredible! Such friendship! It destroyed him instantaneously!" Twilight was giggling like a mad mare, "Now, come with me. We're going out for some 'field testing'."

Seeing Twilight coming out of her house being followed by a weird looking pegasus, a little voice yelled inside Pinkie's head: 'NEW PONY ALERT!' Rushing to her, Pinkie yelled in the newcomers face, "Hi, my name's Pinkie Pie, you must be new h-" she was cut off by a rainbow hitting her right in the face, leaving only dust behind.

"Excellent, 48. This process is called becoming friends with someone. I want you to become friends with everypony in Equestria," she quickly added "...Except me, of course! We're already friends."

"F-FrIeNDs...?" she quietly asked.

"Yes," Twilight put a hoof around her shoulder, "Friends. Now go. Make me proud."

- 4 days later -

Twilight was hiding in the barn of the once living Apple Family. Her whole body was quivering , but she was still able to hold her notebook and a pen with her magic:

"Subject 48 has evolved. The effects of the letter seems to be ever-lasting, and is quickly transforming the subject in an abomination. Everypony's gone. I'm the only one remaining. She must be searching for-"

"Twiiilight..."

"Oh sweet Celestia!" Twilight closed her eyes and curved into a ball.

"Let's be friends, Twilight." The voice was just outside the barn, her breathing being hearable from inside.

"She won't come in. She won't come in. She won't come in..." Twilight whispered to herself.

"FrIEnDS!"
