Starlight is a crybaby

«Well,and what is that?» askedyoungearthpony with messy yellow hair, that had a couple of white stripes in it. Her mane was pretty straight despite the messy appearence, with hair going to all direction. She had a light green sweater on her and a big bag with, presumably, food. Notable thingabout her, was the lack of Cutiemark.

«Well, you see, after Megavolt calculated, that it would take us about 4 month of traveling to get to the location...I decided to get a bit creative!» said the second pony, a little pegasus, who had a blue and red cap on his head and a colorful big bag over his spine. His mane wasn't exposed, but his tail matched the color of cap. Notable lack of cutiemark present as well. At that moment he was holding some little cube made supposedly out of metal with some light coming out of the cracks with his wing.

«And that creativity came from-?» asked the lastof three,unicorn, who had a pink body and a noticeably burned black mane and tail. Who Also didn't have a cutiemark.Also carryingsome large bags with...something. «I do not presume you gathered us all just to say that you made a glowing cube and we still have to go for month straight with the resources that we can't even lift to sustain such a journey?»

«Boooooo, have some patience, Sparky boom boom» — said the little colt, while booing his friends impatience, «obviously I have a plan! But you need to give me time to tell it!» after waiting for some time to check if anybody will I tergect he continued, «amazing, now, here is the grass and apples of it : my dad recently got some scripts that might be from the Twilight herse-»

«THE TWILIGHT? LIKE THE TWILIGHT SPARKLE? PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE!?» Exclaimed two foals, suddenly jumping up, to thedelight of the third one.

«Yea, yea, it's no big deal, LET ME FINISH THE STORY!» said the third little foal,pretending to me angry,but in reality enjoying the surprise of his friends, «cough-cough as I was saaaying - my dad got someblueprintsthat make out some ancient technology.But it is too convoluted to understand, so it may be from the times of Friendship, when the technology and Magic were developing at the rapid pace, and with the complexity of the shown blueprint pieces - it might even be the work of THETwilight Sparkle the Wise!» happily proclaimed the kid, barely holding the smile from tearing his face into two pieces.As he finished saying that and started posing with his little cube - the others started calming down and asking questions.

«Sooo....this is really cool...but how is that connected to the strange cube you are holding?» asked the filly, looking confusedly at her friend with burned hair,who shrugged in shared confusion.

«I-i was getting there,Banana Brains!» said flustered colt, pretending that he didn't just forget about the main point of his story, «so,as I was saying - I got those bluepri-»

«Wait, how? Who in all of tartarus would let YOU even TOUCH ancient blueprints?!» asked the second colt,before getting slapped on his mouth for using bad words like Tartarus by the Banana Brains. He immidietly covered his mouth after that.

«I would say the same thing… just without swearing,» said Banana Brains, while side-eyeing her friend.

the little colt,who was waiting to continue his story, touched his cap and got the string from behind his ear. After pulling on it, the top of the cap opened, revealing a camera lense, «can we now continue?»

«I always forget he has that thing...» said Banana Brains, while bickering with the second foal, until the "storyteller" get fed up with it.

«ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, STOP TALIKING ALREADY, I AM TELLING THE STORY HERE, NOT YOU!» said the little pegasus, noticeably irritated by the lack of attention he was getting, even starting to jump up and down, and fly around to vent his frustration.It continued for the next minute or so, until he vented all the anger and noticed, that the rest were already quiet. He landed back were he stood, and, after some long, exhausted breath - he coughed a couple of times, before continuing.

«So, anyway - I managed to copy the blueprints and got an idea while trying to understand it. Form what I understood - it is something like a teleporter, but much stronger. Soooo...I got Mega Volt's house, noticed some thrown away functional parts, got them, and after some tinkering - I got this beauty!» said the pegasus, finally presenting his creation closer to the two foals, «I call it "The Quacker Jack's super quick teleportation method for finding lost cities"!»

«I think the name might need some fixing...» said the Banana Brains, while looking at the cube.

«and this thing might as well. Are you mad using the components form the thrown away machinery? What if it was bad? Do you know how dangerous it might be?» started asking Mega Volt, while pointing and poking at this thing with his horn, and lightly smashing his head with his hoof, «are you mad?»

«Relaaaax Volty~I made sure nothing explodes!...this time...I made experiments with mouse's! And what I found out - is that the more electricity you give it - the further you will go! If we use some of your experimental batteries - we can very well cut down the time to about a week, stoping only to recharge the batteries from the free socket's in some inn or a bar or soemthing else!»

«So that why you told me to bring them...» Said Mega Volt,while taking out his experimental batteries. Two of them were actually exited. They wanted to try to get the cutiemark for researching the past for a long time, and now they had the perfect chance! Saying that their judgment was clouded was saying nothing... In less then an hour they listed the plan and got the batteries plugged into the cube, while Quacker Jack entered the coordinates with some unorthodox method he didn't explain to the rest. After everything was set up they all touched eachother and their stuff and waited 3 seconds to get teleported. Well,two of them waited...

«Oh,almost forgot,from what I translated - there is a chance we will be teleported to another world if this doesn't go well,» said the smiling pegasus to his friends, while there was only a second left before the teleportation.

«QUACKER JAAAAAACK!!!» Sounded like an echo through the forest besides the Littlewoods, while the bodies of the three foals dissapeared.
