Chapter 3 – How others have fun

     A very honored scientist Crystal Clear, stallion with fur grey as an ash, darker grey mane, scorched clothes and with mechanical back right hoof, has just finished his last experiment, which has been planned for this week. Preparation took him almost 126 hours of his time, which was hiss all week time without sleep. He wasn´t doing anything other and he almost didn ´t eat. He didn ´t have a time for it. His mechanical clock struck the midnight. He knew he has to hurry. He took a test-tube with dark red liquid and with the words: „A color is not important.“ He poured it on a prepared alloy. That alloy started to bubble and Crystal Clear noted everything to his notebook. That alloy stopped to bubble, but then it changed its mind and there was its another action with a lot of power. Not only the kettle, where that alloy was, started to bubble but it looks, that everything around including that kettle, started melting. The kettle melted and the table and floor under it too. Crystal Clear lived in a small house in the border part of Canterlot. He rented only the second floor and under him, there lived another ponies. He ran down, still was noting everything and he looked, if someone hadn´t been injured. Fortunately, nopony has been injured. But it destroyed the bet and that alloy stopped after several metres in the rocks under the house. When he finished the noting, he judged the experiment as unsuccessful and he called his house lady and builder. He explained what happened and he started preparing another experiment for next week. His house lady commented everything:

„If he makes another experiment, I will loose my house soon.“

      Crystal Clear looked at her. He didn´t understand how she can say something like that.

„Madam, I am sure that with this experiment I will become a part of scientific history. I will certainly notice you as my assistant.

     House lady looked at him. She didn´t trust his words.

„But who will pay me for the repair of my house?“ she asked.

     Scientist looked bravely. He had sings of pleasure in his face.

„Just don´t worry, madam. I will handle it.“

      Incidentally, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were taking a night walk through the Canterlot. Celestia should sleep. But because of the fact, she´s in the palace alone, except the watch, she decided to go for a walk with her sister. Celestia doesn´t like to sleep alone. When she saw a destroyed house, which looked like after a bomb detonation, her face was covered with fear.

„What had happened here?“

     Everybody except Crystal Clear bowed. The scientist has still observed his unsuccessful result. Without noticing the Princess, he spoke.

„Sulfuric and hydrochloric acid combined together and almost a week heated, with the ratio three to one. I hoped that I will get an alloy called Aqua Regia, but I just get…“

„…an alloy, which melted the kettle and destroyed the floor,“ completed his words Princess Celestia. Crystal Clear looked at the somepony who completed his sentence and he said: „Yes, you are absolutely right.“ Then he realized that it was Princess Celestia and he bowed too.

„I am terrible sorry, her majesty. I didn´t know.“

      Princess Celestia ordered him to stand.

„Nothing happened, professor. On the contrary, I am delighted with your interest. Come to my palace tomorrow.  I want to have a talk with you.“

      Crystal Clear bowed again.

„I will be very pleased.“

      Celestia continued with her sister and she told her some happy and interesting story. The scientist didn´t know what to think about it. In the end he realized that this opportunity cannot happen twice. He walked to his room, he put a carpet on that hole and he sat at his table, where he started to write a list of things, which he should take with him.

     Screw Hammerhead and Helm Wane were spending time together in a machine-room of the Aurora airship. Helm was a navigator and Screw was a mechanic. This airship is commanded by the captain Strong Hoof, who is now with the lord at Jindy James´s Inn. This is also the airship, which will fly to the undiscovered lands, filled with supplies and other ponies.

     Helm delightfully sighed. Screw just founded one of her sensitive places on her tummy. He waved her fur and he started to irritate her with his hoof. He moved with his head a bit up and he licked her neck.

     Screw was a unicorn. His body was tough and strong, he had a brown fur and prickly red hair. He also had sideburns and beard, but they weren´t long. Helm has a mechanical wings, which were thanks to an accident permanent. They both get used to that handicap and although Helm is a bit shy of it, in the eyes of her lover is she still that beautiful pony. Helm has a sandy mane, white fur and mechanical ear-ring. Helm and Screw have their Cutie Mark about their job. Screw has a wrench between two gears and Helm has a rolled map and helm. That mare had also one another handicap Her eyes had a different color. One was blue like a sky and the second was green like a fresh grass.

     Unicorn continued and with his tongue he licked her nose. Helm moved him on his back and he moved a little down, which Screw generously presumed. First, she has just played with his proud, but then she started to use him. After several minutes it wasn´t enough for the strong unicorn and he wanted to please her too.

     He moved her on the couch. He prisoned her under his belly and he started his work. At the beginning he was slow, then he raised his frequency. When Helm felt, that Screw is exhausted, he moved him under her and she took the initiative. After the work was finished, she lied near him and she purred. They lied together and they hugged and kissed. A stove heated the part of the machine-room where two ponies proved their love and nopony disturbed that peaceful atmosphere.

     Machine-room was big. There was several steam engines, but they weren´t lighted. Airship was in the harbor, so there wasn´t any need of their work. Whole machine-room was dark and cold, but onyl that one place was warm and light.

     Lieren hid in a dark place of some street in the trade part of the city. In this part of Canterlot was busy only during the day, when experienced traders were telling that only their homemade goods is the best and the cheapest. Lieren was in exile. She came from Ib´xian. A place of her birth and a place, where she had been trained as a hunter and a servant of her Emperor. She was one of the best archers in her state. Her Cutie Mark is a golden arrow. Golden means that something is the best. She has a black fur, white mane and a brown hood.

     She opened her diary very carefully and she started writing. She wasn´t a unicorn, so she had to write with her mouth. She learned how to write many signs of Ib´xian´s alphabet. Her diary was the most precious thing in her possession and she was determined to fight with anypony, who wants to steal or damage it.

„Who is there?!“ shouted a watch. Canterlot white stallion in golden armor, spear and also a pistol. „Vagrancy is not allowed!“

     Lieren hid her diary and she took a bow. She smeared her hood with ink and she berated. Stallion took his spear.

„Stop!“

     Huntreness climbed on copper gutter and she jumped on the roof. Before the soldier could do something, she ran away. She has been jumping over roofs than, after several hundred metres, when she was sure that she is not followed, she hide nearby some chimneys. She continued with writing. She was a bit sad that the ink smeared another page too, but in the end she was glad that she didn´t break her last feather. She smiled a bit too.

24th September 1883 Ib´xian era

I finally got into the famous Equestria. I don´t think it is odd. It´s strange. Their technology is different from  ours. They have a machines, called steam engines. That technology is not known in Ib´xian. But I don´t care about it.
