Day 30
Hello! Sorry about the wait; I had a little bout with some stomach flu, but I'm better now. I had rescheduled the lesson for today, so here it is.
“Ok, when I call your name say ‘Present’--”
“Uh, Lee? We’re all here except for AJ.”
“OK fine, ruin my illusions of grandeur,” I yelled mockingly as I sat down on the Library’s only arm chair. “Todays Lesson is YouTube; YouTube is a video-sharing website created by three former PayPal employees in February of ‘05, on which users can upload, view, and share videos. The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video and HTML5 technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos, but mostly it's filled with cats. Now each one of you will get to pick a topic, I will then search a video, and we will watch it.”
“Oh, oh! Me first, me first!” Pinkie yelled, bouncing between the roof and the floor with an audible squeak each time.
“Ok, tell me what to search.”
“PINKIE PIE!” she shouted at the top of her lungs. I clacked away and a list of videos popped up. “THAT ONE!” Pinkie yelled again, pointing at a video.
*click*
“So Pinkie, what did you think?” I asked while handing Twilight a new quill.
“That...was...AWESOME”
“Ok, who wants to go next?” I scanned the room for waiting hooves and saw Fluttershy hiding behind her hair. “Fluttershy, you're up, what do you want to watch?”
“Um, I guess some cute kittens would be nice if thats ok.”
*click*
The only thing cuter than the kitten in the video was Fluttershy as she squeed with glee.
“Can we watch it again, please?”
“No.”
“Please?” Words cannot describe the willpower it took me to utter the next words as I was being bombarded with the weaponized cuteness that is pleading Fluttershy.
“No. Must continue lesson. Rarity go.”
Rarity perked up at this, setting down some tea she had been nursing all morning, “Oh me? Well I would love to see some of the pony fashion that you have back where you're from.”
*click*
Twenty seconds in Rarity feinted. Ten seconds after resuscitation she tried to destroy my computer yelling something about fashion. She is locked outside now.
“Spike, go.”
“Dragons,” he grunted through a mouthful of jewels.
*click*
“And everyone of my species can do that. All we have to do is kill a dragon, doesn't matter what size.”
“Lee quit it, you're scaring Spike”
“Moving on, RD?”
“Something fast.”
*click*
“Thats not that fast.”
“Dash we have made something that can go Mach 20, that's 20 times faster than the speed of sound.”
“Ok boss, your go.”
“Well last week you mentioned alternate dimensions, anything on that?”
*click*
“Say Lee, couldn't a wormhole be responsible for you being here?” Twilight seemed almost sad when she said this.
“Ehh, who’s to say? We'll see you all next week; I hope you had fun.”
Honestly that was the most time I spent with the Mane6 (excluding AJ). Hmm, I’m going to go ask if she needs any help on the farm tomorrow; I need to get in shape, so this is the perfect opportunity.
Chris Schmidt:
This videos, instead of having all of them at the top, should be embedded into the *clicks* to help the flow of the story.
