The Project
Chapter 10
Previous ChapterThe next day Twilight and her friends notified the mayor they were ready to open it so they had someone come over to inspect the place to make sure everything was safe for kids to play in, Twilight and her friends waited anxiously as the inspector checked over every single detail in the place.
They hoped that they didn't make a mistake that could harm kids as they would feel guilty, and even if everything was perfect would the place get condemned anyway, they were so scared of that possibility. The inspector walked through the several rooms as he checked over everything that they had built.
Twilight and her friends didn't say a word as the place was checked out. Their go ahead to officially open this building laid on this inspector's shoulders. It was his decision to allow me open the center and allow kids to play in it or force them to work on it more. He looked over every detail as he spent a couple of minutes on each area.
The inspector finished looking at the place and walked back to where Twilight and her friends were, Twilight gulped as he looked her straight in the eye. She was afraid that the place might not be safe enough for children. He pursed his lips as he thought. Twilight waited for him to say something and finally he spoke.
"Are the balls in the ballpit of non allergic material? There were a couple of accidents a few years ago where a kid fell ill to something similar in here that was made of allergic material." He said. Twilight answered him about the materials as honestly as she could get as she knew that her answe was true.
"No all the material that has been used for the objects here were made from natural mats, they contain no rubber or adhesives or anything like that." Twilight told him. Her friends watched her and the inspector with anxiousness. The inspector went over and looked at some of the lights.
"And the electricity was done by a professional electrician who has had a lot of expert and with setting up electrical systems and fix broken lighting over the years?" The man asked, Twilight's eyes widened as she looked over to her friends, she remembered that she and her friends did the electricity themselves, she looked over at the inspector. She wondered if he would accept their judgement of setting up the electricity by themselves. She didn't think that their would be any problems that would arise from the electricity throughout the building as they did a good job setting up the electrical systems.
"No sir...we did that ourselves as it was just easier for us. We didn't think about hiring anybody to help us building this center. We didn't think about using an electrician so we went ahead and...did it anyway." Twilight confessed. Twilight her friends were so embarrassed. Twilight was on the verge of running away to avoid the embarrassment that she was now facing.
"A trained electrician should of set up all of the electrical systems in the building, unless you have qualified experience with electricity you shouldn't be messing with something you don't know anything about. Do you have any trained experience at all or did you just work on something that you didn't have any trained experiance with?" He asked. Twilight tried to come up with a good excuse.
"I...I have read books on electricity! So I'm pretty sure I did okay even if I didn't have any electricians help us on the building. I'm not clueless about anything that I try and work on. I'm sure I didn't mess anything up. You have to trust me." Twilight said as she smiled, the man frowned at her as he looked at the lights.
"That doesn't count. You should have done it if you have been trained to set up electrical systems, even someone who reads a book about something and then do that thing they read about with no experience at all can still screw it up. Books help but not usually books are not enough sometimes." The inspector said. Twilight nodded.
"I understand sir." Twilight said. The man took one more walk as he inspected the rooms again, Twilight was uncertain about what might happen with the building. Would they be unable to open it up to the public or would they have to fix some stuff. The man also tested the lights and saw that they worked properly.
The inspector finished inspecting every single room that was in the finished building that Twilight and her friends had built and then he approached Twilight and her friends as they waited for the final judgement. He thought about what he had looked over and decided if they met the safety qualifications that each building needed in Equestria and then he finally made his official decision on the building.
"The place can be opened. Make sure to hire some people to watch over the building and run the place before you open it though." He said. Twilight and her friends understood and Twilight and her friends searched for respectable people to watch over what happened in the building.
"After they got some people they officially opened the play center and it immediately became popular with a lot of children. The uses of the place grew and soon lots of kids from Ponyville came to enjoy the building and then it grew to kids who were visiting Ponyville to come to the play center to enjoy it as well.
"Twilight and her friends knew that everything with the center would be good. They celebrated their success with eachother as a lot of parents and kids thanked them for their hard work. The mayor thanked them for the contribution to Ponyville as children enjoyed the center. Twilight and her friends were happy that they had succeeded in creating a perfect play center as the center was used everyday by kids from then on.
