Aviation Industries

High in the sky is a building that many look up to. Often, it is looked at as 'the savior of machines', and Pegasi from all over have dreams of working for the building's managers. It is Aviation Industries's head quarters, and when someone applies for work there, they often don't regret it.

Inside, a new group of workers who were just accepted into the business are brought to a room with a fancy TV on the wall. It is their first day and many realize this as the screen flicks on. A Pegasus who is wearing the trade marked blue and white outfit with the logo on the right front side looks at the camera and begins to speak. "Hello everyone, you are watching this because you have expectations for a bigger and brighter future for Equestria. This will be your history lesson for Aviation Industries. You see, back a thousand years ago, the ponies of Equestria realized that the world was changing, evolving with new inventions, such as the makeshift cloud generators, artificial sunlight boxes, and the infamous rain producer made out of nothing but wood and dirt. But as time went on, they realized that us Pegasi would eventually rule the skies and have complete control over everything that happens to the Earth ponies. And if the two races worked together, the unicorns would follow as well. Thus started a project that would take them many decades, and at the head if it was our own Princess Celestia. With the combined raw power of her majesty, her council StarSwirl the Bearded, and an Earth Pony known only as The Excavator, Aviation Industries was born. The point of Aviation Industries you ask? To bring fellow Pegasi the newest and most helpful technology available. And when no pre-made technology is available, we make it. We have been making technology for over eight hundred years, and every year we get better and better at it. This is where you come in. You, the regular worker bee, shall now have a chance to give back to your fellow Pegasi. To give back to the World, and make a difference. With your help, Aviation Industries won't only survive another thousand years, but thrive. Aviation industries, the Sky's the Limit." The screen flashes off and a pony in a white coat walks into the room.

"Alright! I want this to go orderly and quickly! When I call your name, walk to the screen. If I don't call your name, walk to the table in the right hand corner! QuickDraw! Race Cloud! Split Second!" As the pony listed off names, Twilight kept thinking about how exactly she got here. The more she thought, the more confused she became. "Twilight Sparkle!" She looks at him, staying still. He stops. "Move to the screen!" She trots over. "Alright, that's the list, anyone at the screen, you're lucky. You're going to be testers for any and all technology we create. All of the rest of you, you're not fit enough to test. You're going to be regular, everyday technicians. You will help make the products. Ok, testers, go down this hall and to the left. Others, to the right. Are we clear of what to do?" No one talks. "Good, now move!" Everyone bumps past Twilight as she stands there, lost in thought.

A colt couldn't get by and eventually tried to fly above her. He couldn't. "Hey, hey lady, come on move it." Twilight shook her head and began walking. "If you stand in my way like that again, working will be the last of your problems." He trots ahead of her. She let's out a sigh, giving up hope of any sort of bailing out.

Once at the end of the hallway, the pony in front stops. "Ok, I want those who were by the screen to the right! Others to the left!" They do as he says. Twilight can't help but wonder why she, of all ponies, is a tester. She can barley keep in the air, let alone long enough to test anything.

"Hello everypony!" Twilight looks up, losing her breath. "Mah' name is Applejack, welcome to the testing facility! As y'all can see, I was hoof chosen to test these artificial wings. Thankfully they work, and you're going to make them better! By testing out various mechanical parts, these wings will be even better than your organic ones, and the parts that go into these will also be able to be attached to you Pegasi for a better flight!" Everyone begins hoof bumping each other and cheering. Applejack opens her wings and glides down towards Twilight. Her wings are a transparent blue with bright blue wires that are constantly flickering, running through the wings and into her.

"Hey Twi! What brings you here?"

"Oh, hi Applejack. Well, after Ponyville's library was destroyed, I needed to get a job to start making bits to buy a bunch of replacement books. I'm not entirely sure where I'll put the replacement library, but for now I just need to get some money."

"Well that's mighty kind of ya' Twilight. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll come a runnin'." Twilight nods and Applejack walks over to the stand where she was earlier.

"Twilight!" She turns around, but nopony is there. "Twilight! Please, he-"

"Hello?" She looks at the others, and sneaks out back into the hallway. "Hello? Is anyone there?" No response. She walks a little bit more, and a feather falls in front of her. "What the?" Above her is a hoof. She pulls on it, and Fluttershy falls from the celling. "Fluttershy?!"

"Please." Twilight drags her into a nearby closet and lights the room up with her horn.

"Fluttershy, what are you doing here?"

"I, I don't know. Applejack told me that you needed help at your new place but when I got there, it was empty. Then I blacked out."

"Ok, do you have a job here?"

"Yes, but as a worker, not a tester."

Twilight sighs. "Alright, just go with the flow. I'll figure out what's going on, I promise."

"Twilight Sparkle?! Where are you?" A voice comes from the hallway.

"Go." Twilight opens the door and pushes Fluttershy across the hallway. "I'm right here sir. Sorry, I thought I was told to go to the right."

"You were, not the closet though. Get back there you puny Alicorn." Twilight does as told. Once back in the room, she bumps into Applejack again.

"Applejack, we need to talk."

"Sure thing Twilight, what's up?"

"You see, I-" She stops. Maybe telling Applejack isn't the best decision. If there is some sort of plot, she could put both herself and Fluttershy in great risk. "I was going to say that I, forgot when my shift starts. When is it again?"

"Oh, it starts at five in the morning tomorrow. See ya' then." She walks away. Twilight looks at the clock, it's ten at night. She walks to her bed and lies in it, but can't get to sleep. Why was Fluttershy tricked into working here? What use is she to them? She pushes these thoughts out of her head, and slowly drifts off to sleep.

"Twilight! What are you doing? Please stop, you can't make us do this!"

"I can and I will! No respect, no forgiveness, no morels and no values! It ends today!"

"Just think about it! You're doing something that will change everything forever, please just consider what you are doing!"

"I re-considered my life ever since my new job, and it always ends up the same. Sorry, but it's time for a change of management!"

"Twilight!" Twilight opens her eyes, breathing heavily. Her eyes hurt and she is shaking. "It's four, we work in an hour. Are you ok?"Fluttershy asks.

"Y-yeah, just a bad dream."

"Need to talk about it?" Fluttershy asks, concerned.

"No, I'm good, thanks. I'll see you in an hour." Fluttershy nods and walks out. Twilight sits there for another half hour in complete silence. She finally gets up, and walks to her first job.

A huge colt walks into the room, wearing the same outfit as the one from the video. The insignia of the goggles and sky behind it is on his front right shoulder. "Hello everyone, welcome to Aviation Industries."
