Chapter One
How could one not?
A/N:This is a story that will actually be more close to me than the other, quite failed one, The Pony Centipede. I sometimes feel as if my friends don't actually care what I have to say and this sometimes makes me feel really upset. But oh well, this is a story not a sobfest, so enjoy. This may be OOC, sorry.
Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than smart.

"Twilight! Stop being silly you are much more intelligent than anypony out there, why worry?"
"You don't understand Rarity! This is more than being more intelligent, it is about being the most knowledgeable!"
Rarity shook her head, sighing, she couldn't understand why this was really getting to Twilight, she already was incredibly knowledgeable, it was like she was worrying for the sake of worrying.
"I think you are being silly, just stop you're stupid worrying. It isn't helping you."
"You just don't understand Rarity! What do you care of knowledge anyways?! You are just a diva!"
Rarity couldn't take Twilight's insanity, it made her mean, nasty, even sadistic at times, she remembered that she had laughed when Pinkie Pie tripped over herself and broke a leg, it wasn't like her, she was normally so compassionate. But now, now something had changed and it wasn't for the best.
Twilight Sparkle sat in her library, books wide open, books on ideology, theories, everything. She was endlessly flicking through pages and pages of books with one hoof and the other writing down extensive notes on what her mind picked up from her reading. None of the books seemed to have any relevance to each other, just books and more books on things considered knowledgeable.
Spike had given up on making conversation with her, she seemed to brush off everyone that even tried to make conversation with her, she was basically catatonic, except for the endless loop of the same repeated actions. It was clear that she had been taking in what she read and wrote, but her capability to speak was almost exticnt. She muttered a few incoherent words every now and then.
This is perfect, of course no fellow pony would be able to understand, thought Twilight, they are as incompetent as I thought they were, they just don't understand what I am trying to find out here.
More and more of Sigmund Freud's ideas and quotes were written down, thoughts of peace came across Twilight's mind.
Another equal, another person who shares the same thought and opinions I do, if only there was a way he could be with me.Then I would feel like I was needed, not like my intelligence is wasted by being around a bunch of idiots, this way the world would be all better and I could live my life to it's full extent.
With a brisk movement she pushed all of the books and papers off of her desk and onto the floor, Spike who just entered, stared at her in shock, it was the first time she had broke the pattern in five months, when all of this madness started. She rushed around the room, searching for books on bringing people back to life, bringing people from the human world to Equestria. It was a perfect plan, in her eyes, to find a way on how to bring humans here, where she could converse in topics she would know they'd understand and contribute to with meaningful comments. She giggled slightly, much to Spike's dislike.
"T-Twilight? Are you ok?"
But Twilight brushed Spike off, she was frantic, she dumped all books onto her desk and pulled out fresh pieces of paper. Spike ran out of the room and to Rarity's, she will know what to do, he thought.
"She just broke out of whatever she has been in, and started rushing around the room, she looked all panicky."
"Hmm, Spike what kind of books did she grab when you last saw her?"
"Just things about bringing humans to Equestria, strange right?"
Rarity turned around alarmed.
"What do you mean bringing humans to Equestria?!"
"U-uh, h-human h-h-humans!"
"This is bad, she can't be serious, it isn't supposed to work like that, we can't have humans here."
Twilight smiled up at her friends, as they questioningly looked at her book on humans, they all frowned. How could she be reading a book on a race that has no importance here in Equestria?
"What are you doing with a book on humans?"
"Just doing some light reading Dash, nothing serious, humans are just interesting things, they act just like us you know, and some of the are incredibly smart, like this man Charles Darwin."
The five other ponies looked at one another with worried looks on their faces, but Apple Jack shrugged and said:
"Sounds good enough, just don't be goin' round makin' any stupid decisions."
"That's it! I can bring him back here! He, he can be mine! We can rule Equestria together!"
Twilight started to hysterically laugh, tipping her head back, so her mane swung down. She hopped out of her chair and ran out of her library and into the darkness of the night.
"I just need to find all the things to make it work."
"Where is she?!"
"I don't know Rarity she was here a moment ago, surely she can't be to far."
Rarity made her way over to Twilight's desk, the ingredients of a spell to bring a human to Equestria lay on it, finalized and to perfect standards, all of the things could be found in the forest, and that was exactly where Twilight was. Stumbling around a cold and dark forest with a mad grin on her face and eyes as wide as a mad stallion.
"I know where she is, and trust me this isn't good. Go get the other girls and meet me in the forest."
"Of course rarity, I promise you I will."
"So you mean she is tryin' to summon some human here? Why?"
"Who knows with Twilight, I am guessing it is because of that being knowledgeable thing she was on about before she turned psycho."
"T-that thing?! Oh gosh. I don't know Rarity, we may not be able to stop her."
Fluttershy gently circled her hoof on the ground, looking down and trying to not glance up at Rarity's penetrating glare.
"It doesn't matter Fluttershy, we have to."
"Of course R-Rarity. But how?"
"Here's the plan..."
A/N: This is probably to short, but oh well I hope it is accepted and I hope that people enjoy it, I know I sure did enjoy writing it. Thanks all.
Chapter Two
A/N:Sorry for the long wait of the new chapter, I've had to do it on my iPod so things are hard, plus life's been pretty rough right now, not to mention I have had several assessments in the last week. Not fun but enough excuses. Please enjoy.
Twilight held in her hoof the potion to make all her dreams comes true, the potion that could turn any photograph into a living, breathing thing, making it simple for her to bring her human idols to the land of Equestria. Sigmund Frued, Edgar Allen Poe, Karl Marx, etc.
"Great men and thinkers alike."
She grinned to herself, and pulled out first her book on historical psychologists and tipped the vile on its side so drops of the liquid could make its way onto the page. Hitting the photo of Sigmund Frued, creating the book to glow and a bright, white light to come out of nowhere.
After a moment Twilight opened her eyes to see Frued standing in front of her, confused.
"Guten Tag, pferd."
"Oh yes, uh can you speak English?"
"Ja, I can, now vould you care to explain to me l, vhere am I, and vhy I am here?"
"Oh well mr Frued, welcome to the land of Equestria, I'm Twilight Sparkle, a huge fan of your work, I brought you here so I could meet you in person."
"Ah vell, thank you child, it brings me honour to be here."
"Well. Now it is time for me to bring along a few more quests to this gathering of mine."
She laughed, and out of politeness so did Frued. Again, she grabbed out the vile, and tipped some of the potion onto a photo of Oscar Wilde. Another white flash appeared, and when it cleared Wilde stood before them.
"Pray do tell me, where am I?"
"The land of Equestria, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Twilight Sparkle."
"Oh lord, a talking pony, what sort of land have I fallen into? Or am I asleep?"
"No, I brought you here, using a magical potion, it's pretty complex, you wouldn't understand."
"Are you calling me stupid? Stupidity is a sin you know."
Oh my, he is exactly like his books.
"I think I see her... Oh dear! She has already brought some here."
As soon as Rarity and the others arrived she had brought William Shakespeare, George Orwell and John F. Kennedy. They were in a hot debate on government, with Kennedy and Orwell on the side of democracy, Shakespeare and Twilight on the side of monarchy and Frued on the side of dictatorship.
Even though the ponies, and Spike were in viewing range of Twilight she was to immersed in her new friends to notice them.
"No. No. No. You don't need democracy to be happy, you see our people we are a monarchy and we live happily."
"Yes but you also have a rivalling kingdom!"
"You have rivalling party."
Kennedy looked stumped. Twilight laughed with joy, it had been ages since she felt this feeling of such happiness.
"YOU BROUGHT THEM 'ERE!"
"Apple Jack, calm down!"
"I will not Rarity! She broke the law we 'ave on this!"
"Um, Twilight, something the matter?"
She looked at Kennedy, ashamed, she had broken the laws on the human-pony relationships. She broke things she keep so valuable to her, but for what? So she could feel as if she was with intellectuals? She had came here to learn about friendship and she broke that. But she couldn't give up.
Even if I am on the wrong, I have spent to long on this to give, spent to long dreaming about these people. Dreaming that they would be real, well I can't give that up. Not now.[\i]
"There are some laws that prohibit ponies from interacting with humans, I have broken them."
"Like hell you have, I can't believe you Twilight, darling you are so smart, so respectful, whatever happened?"
"These people are my equals."
"To quote myself, all animals are equal, but some," he looked around at his fellow humans, and at Twilight, "animals are more equal. It is just how it works."
"Do you really think we're not as equal as you are, Twilight?"
Twilight took a deep breath.
"It's not that. You're just not as smart."
"Is that really why you did this? How shallow can you be?"
"I have to agree with Rarity, Twilight, that's very mean."
"Fluttershy..."
"We all agree, sorry Twilight."
She collapsed her hooves giving way on her, tears came out of her eyes, falling against the grass. Her human friends bowed their heads and walked away, giving the ponies some space.
"You just don't understand!"
"How not?! What is so wrong with us?!"
"You're not like them, you'll never be! You'll never know my pain of having friends who don't care about the same sort of things as you do! You girls don't care about philosophy, ideology. ANYTHING!"
"Maybe we don't buy we're still your friends, well I used to think so, now maybe not."
Rarity sighed, and turned away, leaving the now crying pony aghast, the others followed suit, finding new respect for the fashionable pony.
"Come on girls, leave her to be with her friends."
A/N: You'll notice that there is a lot of talk between Rarity and Twilight, I don't know why but it just turned out that way, in the next chapter I really want to put Rainbow Dash in there more. Hopefully I'll make this happen, thanks all for reading.
