Fluttershy giggled as she typed happily away at her computer, clicking her mouse as she added each final touch to her first true Internet masterpiece.

Yes, the Internet had finally come to Ponyville, and with it came so many opportunities. Sure, there were the chat rooms and the dating sites and the porn sites and the reams of actual useful information and lots and lots of cat pictures, but the Internet gave ponies the freedom to do things nopony had ever really thought of before.

Such as what she was doing at this very moment.

Learning HTML hadn't been easy. Learning Lunasoft Paint had been a little easier. And the inspiration for her masterpiece, well...

It was his own fault, really.

Done with her work, she painstakingly (and slowly, because broadband hadn't been invented yet) uploaded her hard work to her geocities.eq account. Once it was up and visible, she smiled and e-mailed the link to all her friends.

Then, she waited.

Within the first hour, the site had 6 hits. Not encouraging.

After six hours, it had a whopping 20 hits.

After a whole day, it had 99 hits.

By the end of the week, it had over 400 hits, and somepony had already copied her idea and made a new site.

Fluttershy sat at Sugar Cube Corner with her friends, enjoying a pleasant day.

"So Fluttershy," Rainbow began, "it's funny and all, but...I gotta ask. Where the hay'd you come up with something as crazy as 'Iron Will Ate My Balls'?"

Author's Note

Honk if you're actually old enough to remember "Mr. T Ate My Balls".
