MINIFIC MAYHEM

        “Don’t worry Rainbow, the process will be completely painless. All you have to do is stand in there and let me operate.” Said Twilight Sparkle. Before her, stood a tall machine; big enough to contain an adult pony.

        Rainbow Dash could only stare warily at the strange contraption. She put a hoof forward, inside it and backed right away. With pleading eyes she turned to Rarity who helped Twilight set up the strange device.

        “Come on Rarity, are you sure you don’t want to do this? This seems to be more like your kind of stuff.”

        “Oh darling, I know what you mean, but I already know the machine works well on me. To test it, we need someone who rougher. Like you or Applejack. And since it is applebuck season, you were the only one available.” Rarity replied with a flicker of her mane.

        Twilight started pushing Rainbow toward the machine. An enthusiastic smile adorning her face as she encouraged her friend to help. “And think about it Rainbow, you are doing this for science!”

        With loud groan, Dash went completely inside the machine. “Can I at least know what this machine does?”

        “Oh, you will know soon enough.” Replied Twilight; and without losing a second, she adjusted multiple dials and pressed a large red button.

        The machine hummed lightly as it slowly activated itself. Suddenly, sounds of cog turning, spring springing and metal banging emerged from the box. After a forty seconds process, the machine stopped and its door opened; allowing an horrified Rainbow Dash to come out. She slowly passed a hoof in her now silky smooth mane, she took a look at her brightly shining tail and shook with terror.

        Twilight and Rarity on the other hoof were ecstatic. “It works! The auto-mane-o-tron works! Even her tangled mane couldn’t resist it!” They cheered together.

        Rarity then looked at Rainbow and added “No pun intended Rainbow Dash, but you are simply… Dashing!”

        “My life is ruined!”  Dash bellowed in response.

        “FOR SCIENCE!”
