Cyber Space writing challenge
Twilight cackled lightning arcing around her as she held the last lever in her hand. “Spike its almost done! I almost can go into my computer, it will be glorious all that information at my hoof tips, all downloaded directly into my brain!” She cackled again and pulled the lever. Feeding power into the her latest and greatest creation.
“Twilight, can I please just go upstairs and I don’t know clean, or cook dinner? I’m getting bored down here!” Spike said as he closed the comic book he was reading and throwing it on the stack of other comic’s he had already finished reading.
Twilight looked over at him and rolled her eyes “Come on spike, I’m making a scientific breakthrough here! Digitizing thoughts to the point of interfacing with a computer and being able to download any information you want to into your brain!” She look at him and he still had the air of complete boredom around him. “OK, fine spike you can but I want you down here long enough for me to link up with the computer and make sure nothing bad happens. If anything does as we both already know contact the princess and she’ll help however she can.
Spike groaned “Alright, alright I’ll stay for a few more minutes and make sure you don’t fry your brain or something twilight.” he taped a claw to his chin. “What do you want for dinner anyway, I’m thinking hay burgers and fries.”
“It does sound good spike but I don’t know how long I’ll be in here so try and keep them warm for me if I take to long.” She smiled and put a helmet on that had wire’s do-dads and thingamabobs attached to it all over the place that led to her supercomputer the same one that she had tried to figure pinkie pie out on.
“Alright” spike looked around for a second. “Hey twilight what are you powering this thing on anyway. Cause if I remember right didn’t you have to have one of your generators shipped down here to run this thing?”
Fiddling with a few more wire’s and nobes and plugging in a cord before putting her hoof on one last lever. “I did spike, I had to have a larger one brought down here and I got it with the money mom and dad still insist on sending me. I mean noble or not, I do have a job and make enough bit’s from being a librarian here.” She turned to him and spike nodded. “Alright spike I’m throwing the lever now!” and with a spark of electricity and magic the world went white for twilight sparkle.
Everything slowly faded back into existence for twilight, and existence was a white expanse going in all directions. “Hello? Is anypony there?” She walked around in random directions wondering where everything was.
“Interesting. Everything should be here already.” she frowned “Alright I’m in the computer or should be, so I should be able to control it with my mind right?” she sighed and focused on the idea of a couch, and with a slight crackling sound a couch faded into existence in front of her.
“Cool” she breathed. Looking around nothing else had changed but she had a couch now.
“Alright, now I want all the knowledge I have saved on the the computer in neat orderly rows on bookshelves.” The world shreaked around her as the bookshelves started appearing grinding their way up out of the group, and there was a giggle in the distance.
“Wait? Pinkie? What are you doing here?” the giggling became louder and louder and more numerous a stampede of robotic pinkie’s came out from around the bookshelves closing in around her.
They all started talking at once “OH ME OH ME, TWILIGHT! I have the smarts from your books about biology!” Other’s were calling out the same thing but with the subject changing with each pinkie.
Twilight with her face blank from shock blinked a few times before looking around her “Wait, how are you all here? Why are you all here?”
All the pinkies laughed as one and a holographic pinkie’s head appeared above twilight’s head. “Oh silly, were here because you tried to figure out pinkie so your computer make all us pinkie’s cause if something breaks the rules of equus then who better to run and organise a computer.” and all of the pinkies giggled again.
Twilight looked on with horror, her computer had been infected by insanity. Digital pinkies ran it with a crazy hoof and provided her information. She blinked a few more times. “Alright then pinkie, there’s one thing I want to know about before I end this test is what you all done with the research I done on the real world pinkie.”
Twilight was a little surprised when the mane’s of all the pinkies surrounding her and the pinkie hologram above her head had deflated. “We don’t talk about that Twilight, we pretend to be pinkie and it helps, but even we can’t look at that research and not go insane, we lost ten pinkie bot’s last week that thought they could handle it. So we locked it away in a corner and we pretend it’s not there.”
Twilight nodded understanding the sentiment, and feeling a little sorry for her computer “Here I have a idea that’ll help.” With a thought and a bit of magic she summoned up a copy of ponyvile replacing all the bookshelves, and all of the pinkies save one turned into all the ponies in ponyvile.
She looked around at the digital construction around her with the more robotic like looks of everypony she knew nodded and looked up at the holographic head that had turned into celestia above her. “Here this should help, I’ve uploaded everything I know about the ponies of ponyvile, some of it will be incomplete since I don’t know as much as pinkie pie about everypony but this should help as long a whatever program looks at that research has some program to talk to about it and has a shoulder to cry on you shouldn’t lose anymore. Besides it’ll probably be better for you to have so many different ponies to work with since you’ll get more ideas to bounce off the wall when I ask you to do something.
The holographic celestia above her head just looked around “Why?”
“Because I’ve spent years building you, upgrading you and making stuff with you.” she shook her head. “And I don’t want you to drive yourself insane by only being pinkie, trust me she’s already got that covered on her own. So don’t be just pinkie be everypony else and don’t go insane.”
The Holographic head of celestia shimmered and appeared in front of Twilight looking like a robotic celestia, and she gave twilight a hug. “Thank you Twilight, I guess being a computer doesn’t make me all knowing like I had thought, because I already feel better with so many new thoughts and ideas floating around. Just promise me one thing.” Twilight nodded at the digital manifestation of her computer. “Get me another processor I want to have my own little sister running around.” Looking up the mare in the moon appeared on a moon that hadn’t been there before hand.
Twilight nodded and looked around, all of the digital ponies milling about and talking ignored her like she wasn’t there. “And I guess since your going to mimic how I first encountered my friends that they can’t know two twilight’s are hanging around here right now.” the digital celestia nodded.
“It’ll help my processing to keep it that way, and now I believe that you want to head back to the real world.” and with a wave of a hoof a white light appeared before twilight shining up into the night sky.
“Well I guess this is goodbye until I use you again. Try and keep me up to date on what goes on in here, it’ll be interesting to see how these versions of me and my friends get into trouble.” the Digital Celestia nodded and twilight waved to her as she stepped into the light.
Everything faded in from white again, and twilight looked around she was laying on the floor splayed out with spike shaking her. “Come on Twilight the foods been ready for thirty minutes if you take any longer It’s gonna burn.”
Getting to her feet she gave a stretch and a yawn. “How long was I out spike?”
He looked over his shoulder and counted to himself. “Ummm, about two hours, and pinkie showed up and gave me a dozen cupcakes. She said thanks for taking care of that little problem she was still trying to figure out how to fix it.”
Twilight blinked again. “How did she even know?” taking a deep breath she looked at spike. “Well spike over dinner and some cupcakes I got a little story for you, and after I want you to tell me if you can think of any reason other than because pinkie pie to explain how she knew.”
