Binary's Experiments

Twilight was keeping a close eye on Binary, she was there to make sure he didn't step out of hoof. Binary was feeling intruded upon, more so, he felt untrusted, did she honestly think he would almost destroy the universe again? He did feel tempted though, it would probably teach her a lesson, except it wouldn't, because it would prove her right. Binary slumped in his chair, he didn't have any ideas. He didn't realise how hard it is to remember the past when colourful talking equines are now your world. Not that he missed humanity, it polluted and fought with itself, he couldn't help but think what might happen to Equestria in the future, seeing as it was entering some sort of half-technological, half-renaissance period. Binary thought of a pun,
re-neigh-ssance. He laughed at it, then stopped once Twilight started glaring at him.
"What were you laughing at?" She inquired sternly.
"Just a, um, pun..." Binary was feeling awkward now.
"And what was the pun?" The sternness in her voice was replaced fully with intrigue.
"Umm...Well.." Binary stammered
"Come on!" Her voice was now filled with playfulness.
"It's...It's really quite terrible..." Binary was feeling incredibly embarrassed, about as embarrassed as someone who had just forgotten the name of the person they were talking to.
"Go on, I promise I won't insult you" She beamed widely.
He sighed "Okay then. You know the word renaissance?"
Twilight nodded slowly.
"Well, I thought up a pun." He paused slightly for effect "Re-neigh-ssance." There was no effect.
Twilight stared at Binary for a few seconds, smiled, and then started laughing "That's so terrible! I, ahem, mean...It was great!"
Binary felt insulted, and more so after she tried to cover up her insulting his joke "Can we just get on with the inventing?"
"Sure, why not." Twilight was still thing not to laugh at how terrible the pun was, she was trying to laugh at the pun, but was failing. She didn't want to feel more guilty than she already was.

Several hours passed as Binary drew ideas on a whiteboard, Twilight pointed out the dangers and rubbed off the idea and Binary slumped in his chair thinking. After the several hours of this tedious thinking Binary finally remembered something.
"I know!" He yelled in great triumph.
"What?" There was no excitement in Twilight's voice, he had said that three times already.
"You know how you have those computers."
Twilight nodded.
"And you know how they can play games."
Twilight nodded.
"Well, I have an idea. We won't require disks, we can make this thing called 'The Internet', it will link all the computers together, so ponies can play these games together, they can talk to each other through this 'Internet' and they can even download things off the 'Internet' so they can play more games and stuff!" He smiled ecstatically.
Twilight stared at him for a few minutes, thinking of all the ways it could destroy the universe. She thought of none. "That's a great idea! Ponies will be able to talk to each other!" She stopped and thought "How does it work?"
Binary's smile faded "I...I have no idea..."

Days passed, the birds sang loudly and annoyingly, the wind blew furiously and catastrophically. Binary and Twilight were working on their plans for 'The Internet'.
"What if it has a microchip here?" Twilight inquired.
"That's not how a microchip works." Binary replied.
"What about there?"
"No."
"There?"
"No."
"How about...There!"
"No! You pointed there 2 hours ago!"
"Well I'm sorry! Why don't we just put one right there!" She swung her hoof angrily at the board.
"Hey! That might work!"
Twilight looked at the floor. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah! Completely."
"How?"
"Oh, I knew that would work the whole time."
Twilight stared in disbelief "So why didn't you just say so!?"
"I didn't know where it was exactly!"
Twilight gripped her hair somehow and pulled at it angrily, she stopped because it hurt. When she looked up again Binary was already attaching something to the machine. It was a towering machine, large gears and pipes were bolted across it, along with several touch-pad screens and large neon lights. It was all a bit garish to be honest. Binary wanted to go for a steam and cyber-punk look, They contrasted horribly and the made the whole thing look like a plumbing shop and an Apple store had crashed into each-other. Not that anyone in Equestria knew of Apple, they just accepted that's what it looked like.
"So it's going to work?" There was a large amount of question in her voice."
Binary laughed "Of course it's going to work, I just need to plug this wire into here!"
He plugged it in.
...
Nothing happened.
...
Nothing continued to happen.
...
Nothing got bored and left, so nonentity had to do it's best to stand in for it.
...
Then something happened.
