Bumper's Secret Talent
Einstein's Cube
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBumper walked to the class still steamed he had to go to it. And for Bumper being a bit stemmed was still dangerous for everypony else. As colts jumped avoided him like the plague and teacher assistants ducked out-of-the-way. Bumper slammed the door open and all the kid's jumped. They watched as the angry colt sat in the farthest corner on the classroom.
Bumper didn't want to be picked by the teacher, the teacher in question stared at her new student. She had a physic purple colored coat and had vampire white hair, her cutiemark was a t.v. screen on static as some of the static formed three eye's in a perfect triangle.
"Class, today we will be taking apart a laptop." She said as she handed laptops to all of her students. "You all have until the end of class to completely disassemble it. Based on how much you take apart it will reflect your test grade." Bumper gave a soft groan he had a feeling the teacher had purposely made this assignment for him.
Bumper simply decided not to do the project and of course it was very boring for him. Finally the class ended. And the bell rang the students handed their perfectly disassembled laptop's. Well everypony but Bumper. He dropped the laptop and made his way out the classroom,
"Bumper." The teacher's voice rang just as the colt could practically taste freedom. "Get back in here." Bumper rolled his eye's and walked back inside, the teacher looked at him with a stern look.
"What is this?" She said motioning to Bumper's intact laptop,
"A laptop." Bumper responded.
"Yes I'm aware of that but why isn't it a pile of metal and wires?" The teacher asked again,
"Listen Phyco I didn't sign up for this class so I'm not going to do the work." Bumper said.
"It's Mrs. Static to you! And I know you can do better. In fact your old teacher said you like challenges." Mrs. Static said before she walked into a different part of the room and slammed a big metal black in front of Bumper.
"What is that!?" The colt cried his eye's going wide,
"It's the ultimate technological challenge. It's called the Einstein cube. The outside is made of three inches of the strongest gems and metals in all of Eqestria. While the inside is filed with wires, batteries, computer chips. Basically every new piece of technology in pony history. You have to disassemble it. And put the stuff into different marked containers of your choosing. And then you have to put the entire thing back together. If you fail to do so then I'll tell the principal about your disrespectful behavior. And I think we both know that he isn't a very patient man. You have a month good luck Thumper Phatus Bumper." Mrs. Static said as she made her way out,
"B-But I can't do that!" Bumper said as his face was pale and tears builded up in his eye's, "That's impossible!" Mrs. Static stopped and turned to look at Bumper,
"Mr. Phatus you have to learn that "can't" and "impossible" are word's that holds ponies back." She said before she walked out the door and slammed it.
Bumper was now pacing in his room as his friend's listen to his story by video chat.
"YIKES! I'D TRANSFER THAT CLASS!" Citrus said,
"I could've told him that from the beginning." Timidthy muttered.
"Then why didn't you tell me that!" Bumper screamed, Timidthy sighed.
"Because I saw you clearly had a plan down and I knew you wouldn't listen since, to you, that seems the chickens way out." Timidthy said calmly,
"It's true Thumpy you do have that habit." French Press agreed.
"But ya know the teacher didn't say you couldn't get help." Sweet Dreams said, Bumper's eye's widened.
"No." He said,
"You have to get help....." Crepe continued for Sweet Dreams.
"Don't say it!" Bumper retorted back,
"From....." Meadow said with a smirk.
"Stop!" Bumper said,
"The tech nerds in your class." Blood Bones finished and Bumper burned a notebook on the other side of the room.
"No! I will not get help from them!" He said, "I don't even know them!"
"Well then you're gonna need all the luck in the world cause we know diddily-squat about all that stuff." Binkey said,
"So good luck." French Press said before her and everypony else sighed off leaving Bumper to think.
The next day after class had ended. Bumper had started taking disassembling the dreaded cube. At first he was going to pound the shell until it broke but then he thought. 'If I do that I'll mash whatever is inside the cube then I'd definitely fail.' He sighed and formed his magic into a dagger Bumper slowly cut through the tough magic until his magic gave out. He looked and saw he had barely made a dent.
Tears came to his eye's as Bumper started to cry this was going to take him year's. Suddenly Bumper heard hoof steps and saw two fillies and two colts, they we're the tech nerds from his class. One of the fillies had a mellon orange coat she had a golden mane and tail. And her cutiemark was two wires that we're inches away from connecting as they sparked. Her hair was in long braids.
Another one of the fillies had a metallic gray coat with black hair. She had her hair in a short bob. Her cutiemark was a gamecolt. One of the colts had a incky black coat with swampy green hair. His hair was practically glued down to his head, he wore a pair of glasses.
And finally his cutiemark was a brain with electric sparks coming from it. And the last colt had an annoyed look as he had a silver coat and vampire white hair. His hair was a mess as his cutiemark was a flash drive. Finally the colt with the brain cutiemark asked,
"Hello. Need any help?"
