Chapters Twilight Finds the Nintendo 64
Chapter 1: Twilight and Spike
Twilight Play’s the Nintendo 64
It was a perfect sunny day in Equestria. The sun was shining, the wind blowing at such a perfect pace that everypony’s mane flew behind them in a deep wavy manner in the beautiful rays of Celestia’s sun. Everypony’s favorite mare strolled through Ponyville. After making a quick stop at Sugarcube Corner to get some “special” things, she walked back to her yellow oak tree. As she walked up to her red wooden door, her magic aura engulfed the door and swung it open. She trotted into the main area of the library, searching for her favorite number one assistant Spike.
“Spike! Spike! Where are you?” she yelled.
“I’m coming, I’m coming, hold your horses,” grunted Spike back. “What is it Twilight?”
“Spike I need you to clean out the library from top to bottom,” said Twilight.
“Why?” asked Spike.
“I seem to have misplaced one of my most valuable books and I can’t seem to find it anywhere” stated Twilight.
“Alright, alright, I’m going” grunted Spike.
Twilight trotted up to her bed thinking about her books and left all her “special” things on a shelf next to the stairs. She went up to her room, thinking about her books, and decided to lay in bed until Spike came to get her. As she laid down in her bed, she wondered how long it would take Spike to find the book she needed, and if he would even find it at all.
She began to doze off, dreaming about the rest of her day and what she would be doing tomorrow. She didn't hear the big crash until Spike yelled out, “TWILIGHT COME QUICK!” Twilight leapt out of bed and galloped down towards a hidden and unexplored part of her home. She almost ran into Spike who was just standing there in great confusion.
“Spike what’s wrong?” asked Twilight.
“Look! What is this?” said Spike. As Twilight looked to the place where Spike was pointing, she saw a strange black box.
“Good question Spike. What is this?” asked Twilight.
As she approached the mysterious box she noticed it said “Nintendo 64”, and that it had a mysterious little green cube in the shape of an N on it. She also noticed several awkward looking boxes and several odd looking mechanisms with long wires extending from it and one differently shaped box inside of it that said “Super Smash Bros.”
“Where did you find this?” she asked Spike.
“IwascleaningaroundtheareayousaidtoneverlookthroughbecauseofthepossibilitiesofreleasingaspiderarmyandIwasdustingtheplaceupandlookingforyourbookwhenIbumpedmyheadonthecabinetanditfellonmyfoot.” said Spike in a single breath.
“Well this is why we listen to rules then, huh?” gloated Twilight, as she proceeded to prod the weird box with her hoof. She realized that it wasn’t dangerous at all and too smooth and flat to be a weapon. She used her magic to pick it up and found that it was able to be moved around and has a cord to the wall and other cords that connected to a T.V. She decided to try a trick she had read a few days before about making magical screens. She walked back to the main room of the library, box and Spike in pursuit. She placed the device on the floor and started looking for the book again.
“Spike, I need your help again.” said Twilight.
“Yes?” replied Spike
“Find me the book called ‘Experimental Magic for Bored Unicorns’ please.” requested Twilight.
When Spike ran off in search of the book, Twilight continued to examine the weird looking device and thought about what crazy things would happen the rest of the day, and what might be coming up the in the next few days. Not soon later, Spike came running back, book in hand, and a smile across his face.
“You found it!” cheered Twilight
“I'm pretty good at these things.” said Spike
Twilight took the book from his hands and flipped through it until she found the chapter “Electronics and Miscellaneous Materials” and looked through that chapter until she found the page “Magically Stabilized Screens (aka TV's).” She read it thoroughly before closing the book. She then got up and gave the book back to Spike before preparing her mind for one of the most arduous task she would undertake. She concentrated harder than ever before and slowly a big purple screen was grew before her eyes. As the screen was forming many wires extended from the bottom and sides and a big electrical box formed at the end of her tree. Twilight decided to not question how there was electricity in a tree because she had to keep concentrating. In a little while everything was set to go.
“Hmm, what do you think?” whispered Twilight as she wiped the sweat from her head.
“Looks good I guess.” said Spike.
After a while of staring at the magical purple screen she decided to begin connecting wires, she first connected the big black wire that was obviously a power cord with the hole that formed at the end of the tree. She then tried connecting the multi colored wires to the front of the screen, where they seemed to fit, but found it quite impossible until Spike grabbed the wires and connected them himself.
“It worked!” yelled Twilight.
“You're pretty smart Twilight,”said Spike sarcastically.
Twilight decided to switch the big on and off switch to on and almost screamed with surprise as the weird console turned on in a bright flash. A bunch of characters started bouncing around the screen. A few seconds later a box with words in it showed up on the screen showing: “Please reset and connect a controller.”
“What does that mean?” pondered Twilight.
“I don't know. You're the genius here, but I bet its one of those blocky things there with the long wires that look like they might connect to the ‘Nintendo 64’ in the front,” responded Spike.
Twilight picked up one of the wires with her magic and connected it into the first slot and turned the game off and on. “That’s amazing! It seems to have worked, because these I’ve never seen this type of diamond dog before.” Twilight said as she watched many strange diamond dogs jump back and forth from screen to screen while they attacked each other. After the scene was over, Twilight stared at the odd screen for almost 5 minutes before asking Spike what he thought was going on.
“Spike, what just happened?” questioned Twilight.
“I have no idea,” stated Spike.
“Well let’s try and see what we can do with this,” said Twilight.
She reached for the controller that was on the floor, but noticed it would be impossible for her to hold it with her hooves. She then asked Spike who had hands to try to grab it. Spike reached for the controller, not worried at all that he might get some sort of disease if he touched it, and picked it up with his shaky fingers. Spike held it the best way he could, one hand on the middle part, his finger on the wobbly thing, and the other hand on the right part where the letters A and B were printed on what looked to be blue and green buttons.
“OK. I think I got the hold right. Now it’s time to figure out how to use this thing.”
Spike proceeded to manipulate the wobbly thing and noticed that the bright cursor moved up and down the screen and pressed all the buttons until he landed in the option section.
“What do I do now?” asked Spike.
“Umm. Press on the ‘Tutorial’ file” answered Twilight. Spike, using his claw, pressed the A button and waited for the something to happen. They watched a whole video about how to control the characters and what the game was about.
“Well Twilight, whatcha think?” questioned Spike.
“I think this is going to cause a ton of trouble,” answered Twilight.
Twilight decided to connect a second controller into a slot and figure out to possibly hold the controller. Many attempts to hold it in her hooves later, she decided to just use her magic, and it worked pretty well. She then waited for Spike to start a game.
“OK. I’m ready now. Begin a game,” stated Twilight.
“Should I start ‘Training’ or ‘vs Mode’?” asked Spike.
“Try ‘Training Mode,’” said Twilight.
Spike highlighted ‘Single-Player Mode’ and pressed on it. He then highlighted ‘Training Mode’ and pressed it. The screen changed into a new one. It had a ton of boxes on it, mostly visible, but some of them were crossed out. Almost all of the boxes had the strange diamond dogs from the scene that showed when they first got it to work.
“Well Twilight this sure beats a boring day huh?” said Spike
“We’ll see if it does soon enough.” stated Twilight. They noticed that they controlled little hands and that they had to hover over the boxes in order for the picture to enlarge in the bigger boxes under it.
“OK, now what?” asked Twilight
“I don't know, try pressing the A button.” said Spike. Twilight pressed the A button over the picture of a diamond dog wearing a red hat and some cloth over its body.
“Well, it seems to have selected it because its been highlighted into the little box.” said Twilight
“Let me try choosing the green thing” stated Spike. Spike proceeded to highlight the green thing and it flashed to the bottom box.
“Its called Y-o-shi? Hmm what a weird name for this creature.” said Spike
“It doesn't matter now, right now let’s figure out what’s going on here” said Twilight. Spike started pressed the big red button because it was the only button he hasn't pressed yet and it brought them to another screen.
“Mario’s Palace? Yoshi Island? What is this?” asked Spike
“I have no idea, It does say stage selection so I think its where we're going to be.” answered Twilight
“Well, where should we go?” questioned Spike
“Just go to ‘Mario’s Palace’” returned Twilight. Spike highlighted “Mario’s Palace” and the whole game shifted to a countdown and there characters floated in on little pads.
“Uhh Twilight?” said Spike
“Yea?” asked Twilight
“What am I looking at?” asked Spike
“I have no idea.” answered Twilight. They kept staring in awe at the magical floating castle and there characters awkward appearances. Spike then noticed that there was a countdown clock at the top of the screen.
“Uhh Twilight?” said Spike
“Yes Spike?” grunted Twilight
“You see that clock?”
“Yes”
“What’s going to happen when it hits zero?”
“I don’t know Spike!” exasperated Twilight.
“Ok geez..” whispered Spike. They sat there for about 30 seconds before Spike decided to wiggle the control stick a little. He noticed when you move the control stick it moves the character.
“Hey, try moving your stick.” said Spike. Twilight moved the stick with her aura and noticed that if you point it up the character jumps. She moved it all 8 directions and noticed the character moves according to where you move the stick.
“It seems the character is controlled by the stick” stated Twilight
“I can see that..” scoffed Spike. She then decided to see what the buttons do and pressed B. She jumped a little when her character shot out a fireball and it burned Spike’s character.
“Woah Spike did you see that?” asked Twilight.
“Twilight, I’m sitting right here I never looked away..” chuckled Spike. Spike started testing out motions to, since he has an opposable thumb, he has more control. Spike figured out that by moving the stick while pressing a button it attacks harder than by just pressing it solo. He decided to go up to Twilight’s character and test it out.
“Spike, what are you doing?” asked Twilight
“Just trying something” answered Spike. Spike started attacking Twilight and ended up killer her.
“Spike, What did you do...” asked Twilight.
“I seem to have the hang of this now” said Spike with an evil grin spreading across his face.
“It seems we only have about 30 seconds left.” said Twilight
“Seems like it” said Spike. Spike began his onslaught of fury on Twilights character and eventually the time hit zero.
“Come on Spike thats not fair!” complained Twilight.
“Sorry Twilight, Here i’ll show you how to play now” said Spike. He began telling Twilight how to properly move around the stage and how to properly attack. He then started another 5 minute round.
“Ok, let’s see if I i got the hang of this.” said confidently Twilight
“We’ll see?” chuckled Spike. He let Twilight figure out the controls a little better and then he began attacking her.
“Wait Spike! Give me a chance!” complained Twilight.
“Ok ok..” exasperated Spike. He let Twilight attack him until what he suspected was his damage meter reach 50%.
“Twilight..you know how I think I killed you before.” asked Spike
“Yea.” replied Twilight.
“I forgot how to do it.” said Spike blushing
“Nice Spike what do we do now?” said Twilight.
“I have no idea let’s try falling off the floating structure” stated Spike. They both then went to an edge and jumped off, they heard a huge splash and a lot of light came out of where they fell.
“I think thats how we die” said Spike
“You think?” scoffed Twilight. They started fighting each other, slowly learning there character's movements and attack powers.
“It seems my character can make you into an egg” said Spike as he swallowed Twilight making her fall into the endless abyss.
“Oh really now? Well I can attack you with bits.” said Twilight as she attack Spike. They kept doing this for some time until the time hit 30 seconds again.
“We have only 30 seconds and i’ve killed you more times” scoffed Spike.
“Well I only need 2 more to catch up” said Twilight as she punched Spikes character off screen.
“Now only 1 more.” stated Twilight. Spike began twisting and turning his character all over the map, trying his hardest to avoid Twilight’s grasp. The clock then struck zero stating the end of the match.
“Come on Spike! What was that?” yelled Twilight
“It was me winning.” scoffed Spike. Twilight just rolled her eyes and began another round, but not before changing the time to 2 minutes.
“Let’s see who’s good now.” said Twilight. Spike gulped and grasped his controller.
“Ok fine.” answered Spike. They began their match at the floating castle and attacked each other head on, but Spike started running away after Twilight started beating him up again.
“Spike come back here!” yelled Twilight
“No, as long as my green character can run, I’m running!” yelled back Spike.They kept this up for about 2 minutes and the game ended.
“Spike..if you do this again you're not playing anymore.” said Twilight
“Ok Twilight I understand..Wait...Is this a new part?” asked Spike. They noticed the game started the match again but with something called sudden death mode and their damage was set to 300%
“What's going on?” asked Twilight
“If you have no idea, How am I supposed to know?” said Spike. They walked around until an explosion happened close to them.
“What was that!” yelled Twilight.
“Really?..I have no idea” said Spike. They walked a bit more until a barrage of bombs came down on them and they started freaking out.
“Come on green thing! Run faster!” yelled Spike
“Ha at least my character isn't that big!” scoffed Twilight standing at a certain spot where bombs don’t pop up.
“Twilight stop cheating!” complained Spike.
“Hay you cheated when I didn’t know how to play..” said Twilight. Spike ran up toward Twilight only to be grabbed and thrown across the map to then be hit by a bomb and sent flying off the map.
“Twilight, why would you do that?” asked Spike
“When gaming its everypony for themselves.” said Twilight. Spike just scowled and returned to the character screen. After awhile of losing and winning, screaming and shouting they finally got the hang of the game fully and decided to call it a night. Spike got up turned off the game and immediately fainted, falling on top of the console and Twilight just stood up and focused her magic on Spike and picked him up, dragging him all the way up to his bed and covered him in his sheets and left him to sleep. She stayed back a little to write a letter to Celestia which she didn’t finish because she fell asleep right on the paper and dreamt about how much trouble would this trouble console be. Right when she fell asleep a spark flickered from behind her and 2 more controllers appeared including another game, it said ‘Goldeneye 007’.

Twilight Finds the Nintendo 64
Chapter 2: Enter Rainbow Dash
Twilight snored away as Celestia rose the sun over the horizon giving off a brilliant pinkish red color. The light shone over all of Equestria making time freeze for a few second. As the quietness disappeared back into the sounds of nature, streaks of light began making its way into Ponyville. The new found light brought warmth throughout the little town. As everypony awakened to their daily duty, one pony remained snoring on a partly written letter and one dragon was dragging himself to the kitchen.
“Gosh, I can’t feel my face” grunted Spike rubbing his face with his claws. He entered the kitchen and looked around searching for something to feed Twilight. He decided to just give her some hayflakes and be on his way, he grabbed a bowl poured some hayflakes and then added the milk to make ‘the perfect cereal’ and went to wake up a sleepy Twilight. Spike walked over to Twilight, trying to remember the things that happened yesterday and almost tripped over a black object on the floor.
“Now I remember..” he groaned. Spike went over to Twilight and poked her but she wouldn't budge, so Spike grabbed the feather he keeps for these types of moments and started tickling her.
“Hehehe, Okay! Okay Spike! I’m up! I’m up!” giggled Twilight. Twilight wrapped her magic around the feather and teleported it back into its cup.
“What’s for breakfast Spike?” asked Twilight
“Hayflakes with milk.” he answered laying the bowl in front of her.
“You only serve this when you don’t feel like cooking..What's wrong?” she asked.
“Don’t you remember?”
“Remember what?” she asked with a slightly puzzled look. Spike pointed to the main area of the library where the system was.“Ohh that..”
“What are we going to do?” he said
"I have no idea...wait a minute.” Twilight spoke as she approached the system and noticed more things were added into the box then there were yesterday.“Did you find more controllers...and another box??” she questioned as she studied the contents in front of her.
“No! I didn't find anything else.Heck, I just noticed all this a few minutes ago.” he said.
“Well things don’t just appear out of nowhere, trust me I tried” she stated looking back to the dragon.
“Well I didn’t do it!” yelled Spike defensively.
“Okay geez you don’t have to yell” replies Twilight
“Sorry..” said Spike awkwardly. Spike picked up the second box and read it outloud.
“‘Goldeneye 64’ wonder what that could be?” he says
“Does it say anything else?” asked Twilight
“It says M and Mature on it.” adds Spike. Twilight put on a puzzled look.
“We’ll just have to see what it is.” she said. Twilight sat down and concentrated on making the magic screen again while Spike ran around connecting all the wires where they belong. Soon enough, all the wires were connected and Spike plopped down wheezing.
“Isn't..there..an..easier way?.” huffed Spike
“I could try leaving it on tonight.” insisted Twilight
“Do it...I can’t keep doing this forever” wheezed Spike. Spike grabbed his controller while Twilight wrapped her magic around the second one and Spike flipped the switch.
“It seems to start differently” she said
“I can see that..” he said
“Oh great..more naked diamond dogs..” groaned Twilight. “When will there ever be other ponies or dragons?”
“I don’t know...but I have a feeling dragons will be coming soon enough.” said Spike.
“It seems to be introducing characters” said Twilight.
“They all look the same to me...except the ones with slimmer bodies..they’re probably the mares” said Spike.
“Most likely.” replied Twilight. They sat there and watched as all the characters zoomed by the screen, each holding a unique tool in their hand.
“What are they holding Twilight?” asked Spike
“I don’t know Spike..It looks dangerous though.” said Twilight
“We’ll just have to see.Oh, hey look a clip.” said Spike. They both gazed as a clip from a jungle area appeared and the character began walking around, followed by some mare. They watched astonished as the character pulled out a bigger tool and began firing at the other diamond dogs coming from the other side. Twilight worried that if Spike watches, or even plays this he won't be the same anymore. Twilight pressed A, skipping the scene and they both take a deep breath.
“Aww, Twilight why did you do that?” he whined.
“I just wanted to play already..” she stated.
“Okay..which one do we chose?” asked Spike. Spike moved the cursor around the 4 files and pressed the first one, creating a new game.
“There doesn't seem to be a tutorial.” said Spike while shuffling through the menu.
“We’ll just have to go through the main game I guess..” said Twilight. Spike went into the ‘Single-Player’ file and noticed many darkened images with only one bright one thats said ‘Dam’. Spike decided to exit that screen and instead go into ‘Multiplayer’ first so they can learn how to play together at the same time. As they shuffled through the options Spike said.
“There’s characters..?” he asked
“Check it out” said Twilight. Spike moved the cursor to ‘Characters’ and pressed A. They both gasped as many diamond dogs showed up on the screen in many different photo’s.
“I’ve never seen so many diamond dogs..” said Twilight astonished.
“Neither have I, and thats saying something” said Spike. They shuffled through the list three times and decided to just chose.
“I’ll be ‘James Bond’ since he has a tux on” said Spike
“I wanna be ‘James’, you be ‘Alec’.” said Twilight
“Too late..I’m ‘Bond’.” said Spike giggling.
"Fine..I’ll just be ‘Alec’.” groaned Twilight. Spike pressed B and went to highlight ‘Weapons’.
“There’s weapons in this” gasped Twilight
“Its ok Twilight geez...I’m a big dragon now anyways.” sighed Spike. Spike shuffled through all the weapons and stopped on ‘Goldengun’.
“This sounds cool! I wonder what it is..” said Spike
“Hehe I wonder too..” said Twilight sarcastically. Spike moved the cursor until it was on start and they began.
“Nice transition..but why are we in the bathroom?” asked Spike.
“Well you're in the bathroom, I’m in a room of some sort.” said Twilight.
“What does it look like?” asked Spike.
“It has a bunch of multi-colored silos and a door.” said Twilight
“Leave threw the door..” said Spike
“How? What button?” asked Twilight
“Were in some sort of...facility.” said Twilight
“I can see that...I’m at some offices.” said Spike. They walked around the map, taking in every detail of the not-so complex area. Soon enough they each ran into each other in the long hall.
“Your character looks great in a tux Spike.” said Twilight.
“What is that?” asked Spike looking at the weapon in her characters hand.
“I don’t know..It fires that’s all I know..” said Twilight.
“Try pressing the button you pressed last time again.” said Spike. Twilight began pressing random buttons until she hit the Z button and her character fired the weapon, hitting Spike’s character and sending him flying back a few inches.
“What just happened?” asked Twilight
“For the third and final time Twilight...If you don’t know, I don’t know..” said Spike.
“Should I do it a few more times..?” asked Twilight
“Yeah, go right ahead” said Spike. Spike let go of his controller and let Twilight shoot his character multiple times until he was sent back all the way to the wall and stayed there getting shot all around his body, Twilight yelped every time she shot and when the blood spots came out she was about to cry. Soon enough she shot once more and Spike’s character fell down and his screen was filled with blood. At that point Twilight was on the verge of fainting and Spike went to go fetch a glass of water for her. when he came back Twilight was shivering in the corner, her mane all over the place and whispering to herself.
“Umm Twilight..” asked Spike approaching. He noticed the room got distinctly
“There not here...Its all in my Imagination..” said Twilight looking around rapidly.
“Here you go Twilight...Some cold water..” said Spike handing her the cup very cautiously. The minute Spike’s hand approached her she flipped out and started running around the room yelling.
“THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE GONNA GET ME!” yelled Twilight making very loud clop sounds as she stomped all over the room. Spike just proceeded to sit down and wait until Twilight got tired. After a while of running and many books being tipped over she finally plopped to the ground breathing hard. Spike walked over to her and said.
“You okay?”
“Yes...I think I am.” replied Twilight. Twilight got up and wrapped her magic around the cup and placed it in between her mouth and began drinking it up. Spike just sighed and walked into the kitchen to prepare lunch because they hadn't noticed that they’ve been playing all morning. Twilight just sat there drinking her water until a certain rainbow maned pegasus flew up to the window yelling.
“Hey there Twilight!” She flew in through the door and plopped right next to a very red and heavily breathing Twilight.
“Did you ‘run’ another marathon Twilight?” giggled Rainbow Dash. She stopped drinking and looks around saying.
“More like a ‘run-ovation’.” she says
Rainbow Dash proceeds to face-wing and says.“I thought you were going to stop with the puns ever since the last time..” Retelling Twilight about her last episode. Twilight just giggles and Spike enters the room.
“Oh hey Rainbow.” says Spike with a smile.
“Hay Spike! Hows it hoofing?” asks Rainbow
“Aw pretty good..just found something mmhmm” he says as Twilight puts her hoof over Spike’s mouth.
“Its all great here..we were just practicing magic..Yea thats it..” she says looking very suspicious. Rainbow just sighs and says.
“Fine with me but why would you run around to practice magic?”
“Umm I needed to be tired in order to be able to do it.” she replies
“Well..Okay then I’ll just be on my way..” she proceeds to walk out but notices that Twilight’s sitting on something.
“Twilight..What’s that?” she says pointing to her tail
“Umm..My flank..” she replies
“Not that..The grey-ish thing sticking out of your flank.” she says moving in a little closer
“Umm its nothing just be on your way.” she says beating a few sweat drops
“Twilight if you don’t move..I’ll just have to move you..” says Rainbow getting into a tackle position. Twilight held her ground bracing for the tackle that might come up. Rainbow says
“I’ll give you one more chance Twilight..”
“Nope Its my library if I wanna stay here, I’ll stay here” says Twilight confidently.
“Suit yourself” Rainbow flies toward Twilight but before she even makes contact Twilight wraps her magic around her tail and sends her toward the books. Rainbow just crashes into the bookcase and comes out smirking.
“If we're going to have to fight about this we will..”
“Bring it on then.” says Twilight giving her own little smirk. Rainbow picks up a book with her mouth and throws it at Twilight, but Twilight just used her magic to move it out of the way, but failed to realize that Rainbow was flying toward her and she gets tackled across the room. While all this was happening Spike’s just sitting down and watching the two mares knock each other around and notices the screen is going dimmer and dimmer everytime Twilight gets tackled. After a while both mares were exhausted and sweating and Spike just went to get some water. Rainbow looked at a messy, tired Twilight and asks.
“I didn’t know you had so much energy..”
“I’ve been practicing..” she replies.
“Why were we even fighting in the first place?” asks Rainbow
“I forgot..” she says
“Well I guess I’ll just be going then...wait a minute..” she walks toward a grey box on the ground.
“I just remembered !” she yells.“You didn’t want to move your big flank off this box. What is it?” she asks. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” Twilight just gulps and asks Rainbow to take a seat. Spike comes back with some drinks and sits with the three of them. Twilight explains how they found the device and what they’ve been doing for the past day and in between all of it Rainbow just gave a confused look. At the end of it all Rainbow sighed and says
“Everytime...All the weirdest things happen in Ponyville..why doesn't anything happen to Appleloosa or Manehattan?” Twilight just shrugs and notices the screen was barely visible after all the fighting. She sat down and focused on restoring it back to normal. After a little bit it was back to normal and she went to grab a controller, but was intercepted by Rainbow, she says.
“I wanna play.”
“Umm I don’t know..” she says worriedly
“ You let me play, or I tell everyone..”
“Ugh..I hate blackmail..Okay..” Twilight levitates her controller over to Rainbow who attempts to grab it with her hoofs but finds it impossible. So she goes by another method, her wings. She tries holding it with her hoofs and using her wings to press buttons but found this highly uncomfortable and just decided to leave it on the floor and using her wings to press the buttons and her hoof to move the stick.
“Okay..I think we're ready to go..” she says
“Spike come on..You're playing first”
“Okay..” says Spike. Twilight moves out of the way and watches Spike start up the game over again and notices Rainbow’s dazed look as the game starts up, sending bright flashes through her pupils and sending images of naked diamond dogs into her mind. After seeing the title sequence again Spike navigates through the main-menu entering ‘Multiplayer’. Spike picks the same character and tells Rainbow what to do.
“Okay..Let’s go now.” she says.
“Wait..We gotta chose the ‘Weapons’.” Spike scrolls through the list and lands on ‘Lasers’. He moves to the top of the screen and begins the match.
“Okay Rainbow..Wanna know how to play?” he asks
“Let me try to learn on the job..” she replies. She moves around with the stick and presses buttons with her wings.
“Its pretty easy so far..”
“So far..” Spike tells her about the objective of the game and she just stares blankly.
“Any questions?”
“What's a gun?” she asks
“Those long sticks on the ground..walk over to them and press A”
“Okay..How do I open doors?”
“Press B.” She walks out into a long corridor and asks
“Umm now what?” Spike just shrugs and continues to walk around the map. After a while of walking around Twilight gets annoyed and says.
“You guys are taking FOREVER!!”
“Well Twilight if you would like to prove that you're faster, here you go.” Spike slides the controller over to Twilight and she picks it up with her magic. Twilight takes out a ‘PP7” and walks out of the bathroom. Rainbow is still trying to comprehend all thats going on and just has a blank stare on her face. Spike just sits in the back and notices that another day is about to go by and sighs. By this point Twilight was in the long halls of the map, searching for her target and Rainbow finally learned how to use her weapons and the best way to move around. Finally Spike said.
“Umm Twilight..Its getting late..”
“What! It was just 12 o'clock a while ago!”
“Seems these games make time go faster...Something Doctor Whooves might like”
“Don’t bring him up at a time like this! Were running late Spike!”
“For what?!”
“For the meeting with Cheerilee remember?!”
“Oh yeah..” She drops the controller and scampers around gathering her objects into her saddle and proceeding to put it on she looks toward Rainbow and says
“Can you handle being here on your own?”
“Yea yea...Umm is there any way you can you leave this screen on?”
“No..I gotta shut it off” she focuses and shuts down the magical screen and all the wires disconnect, making the system shut off for the night. Rainbow sighs and gets up, Twilight asks
“What are you going to do?”
“I guess I’ll just read the next Daring Doo book..”
“Oh...We’ll have fun.” She runs out with Spike right behind her and they slam the door shut. Rainbow looks around and notices an open door, she approaches it with great curiosity and goes through it. She walks into a long dark hallway and cautiously walks through it and notices a lot of trash up ahead and approaches it. She see’s a lot of spilled over books and dust so she uses her wings to blow away the dust and files through the books.
“‘How to Please a Pony’, ‘How to Troll’, ‘The Art of FanFics’, ‘THe Internet and its Horror’s’ Hmm these are some weird books Twilight..” She continues shuffling through all the books until she lands on a weird shaped book. She pulls it out and it says ‘Nintendo Manual’.
“This seems good...” she walks out of the hall and closes the door behind her. She flies up to a chair and begins reading, but what she didn’t notice was that while she was in there another box had appeared. That box said..’Pokemon Stadium’..

Chapter 3: The Shenanigan
Finally got it fixed guys, Sorry about the wait. Here you go!
Walking back from Cheerilee’s house late at night with Spike out cold on her back, Twilight thought to herself.
Twilight Finds the Nintendo 64
Chapter 4: Kindness and Confusi
Luna gasps and almost knocks over a glass of liquid, she floats a beanbag chair over and tells Celestia to sit. When they all get comfortable Luna says.“How could this be happening...again?” Celestia sighs and says.
“What did we ever do with that box?” Luna looks up trying to remember what her big sis was talking about. After awhile she looks back at her and says.
“You mean that game box..?” Celestia nods and says.
“Yeah that very box.” she gets up and walks over to a corner of Luna’s room and her horn lights up. Luna sat and watched as Celestia pulled out a book from inside her wall, she tosses it over. Luna catches it with her magic and looks through it.
“What is this sis?” she looks up from the book to find that Celestia has disappeared and left single piece of letter paper, on this piece of paper there's only a few words saying.
“The time has come.”
Pinkie took one last breathe as she finished her story, she looked over to Twilight and Rainbow who had the most confused looks on their faces. She said
“Thanks for saving all the questions until the end Rainbow, but Twilight I forgive you for interrupting several times.” After a few moments of dumbfound looks, Rainbow raises her hoof and says.
“Ok first question, What’s an “internet’ again?” Pinkie smiles and says
“Good question! The internet is a terrible place, I will not say anything else. Twilight any questions?”
“Yes, just one. How are YOU able to see all this but we ponies can’t?” Pinkie stares at her, as if she just asked her how to divide by zero.
“I don’t know, that’s the one question i’ll never be able to answer.” she answers. Twilight gives a sigh and says.
“Can’t win them all..” After a minutes of silence Rainbow finally speaks up.
“Well are we just going to sit here and stare at each other or use this thing?” Twilight shrugs and says.
“Well Pinkie will have to learn from the beginning.” Pinkie shrugs and says.
“All I need is a brain jogger, I forgot how to play this infernal contraption for a while now.” she trots over to the box and sits down in front of a controller. “Let’s do this!” Twilight shrugs and walks over to the box and starts things up again. While Twilight was starting up the screen Rainbow went to pick up the book and place it on the table when she spotted something odd.
“Umm Twilight!” Twilight couldn't respond since she was busy making the screen.
“Twilight! I thought you said you only had 2 games.” Twilight immediately stopped making the screen, causing the wires to shoot out almost hitting Pinkie if she hadn't ducked.
“Hey! Watch it!” Twilight runs over to Rainbow and checks the box. She counts the number of gray boxes she has and squeals and says.
“I have another game! You must have seen this happen!” she turns around and looks at Rainbow with a gleaming face. Rainbow sighs and says.
“Sorry Twilight, I fell asleep remember. I didn't see anything happen.” Twilight sighs and says.
“Oh yea, darn it!” she trots back over to the half made screen, which was starting to fade and began making it again. Rainbow flew over to Pinkie and sat next to her and watched as Twilight finished the screen. A few minutes pass and the screen is made, Twilight pants and says.
“Is..it me..or is this screen getting harder to make?..” Rainbow shrugs and says.
“Beats me, I have wings.” she flutters her wings a little. Pinkie gasps and points to one of the gray boxes.
“I remember that game!” she rolls over to it and kicks it over to Twilight.
“You remember playing ‘Super Smash Bros. 64’?” she gives Pinkie a quizzical look.
“Yes, it was my favorite game, i’d always beat Celestia and Luna!” Pinkie says gleefully. Twilight gasps and yells out.
“I FORGOT TO TELL CELESTIA!” she runs over to the table and yells.
“WHERE ARE THE SCROLLS SPIKE!” then she remembers that Spike was sleeping and calms down a little. She trots back to where Rainbow and Pinkie were sitting and plops down.
“Well that escalated quickly.” says Pinkie. They all have a little giggle and Twilight floats the new game over to her for a closer examination of it.
“‘Pokemon Stadium’ I wonder what that could be?” she looks at Pinkie who just shrugs and says.
“I don't know, never seen it before.” Rainbow finally speaks up.
“There's some animals on the cover, one looks like an overgrown Tank that can spit out water.” Twilight looks the cover over and notices many different animals on it. After a while of pointing out the odd creatures Pinkie says.
“Let’s plug this bad boy in!” Twilight inserts the box into the slot and connects 3 controllers. Rainbow flips the switch on with her wings and they all sit and watch in awe (Pinkie just staring normally) and wait for the title screen to start. A few moments later the main title screen starts and Twilight grabs the first controller, Rainbow moves into her position and Pinkie just stares at it.
“I knew this was going to happen.” says Twilight. She gets up to help Pinkie out but Pinkie then moves into a weird position, moving the controller in between her legs and using her hooves to press the buttons then using her tail to move the stick. She yells out.
“I got it down, don’t worry.” Twilight just sighs and plops back down in her position. She stares at the front image a little more until Rainbow says.
“Come on Twilight! Let’s get this started already.” She presses ‘Start’ and has a little trouble maneuvering through some title screens but is able to make it into the main game. She shuffles through the options on the main game and says.
“‘Gym Leader Castle’, ’Pokemon Stadium’, ‘Kids Club’, ‘GB tower’? What are these things?” Rainbow and Pinkie just stare with the same confusion as Twilight and they say in unison.
“I don’t know.” then Pinkie says.
“JINKS!” Rainbow stares at her with confusion in her eyes and says.
“What?” Pinkie giggles and says.
“You owe me some ‘HaySoda’ “ Rainbow looks at her dumbfounded
“Why?” Pinkie says
“Because I said jinks when we said the same word at the same time.”
“That’s stupid..”
“It might be stupid, but you still owe me a soda” Rainbow shrugs and says
“Okay, I’ll get you one tomorrow.” The moment Rainbow said that Twilight got up and looked out the window. She notices its pitch black outside except for the streetlamps that are on, she turns and says.
“Maybe we should play this tomorrow...it's getting really late and you guys need to get home..” Pinkie looks at her and says.
“Aww but I wanted to play...” Then Rainbow says.
“I did too!” Twilight sighs and says.
“But you need to go home, we need our sleep. Don’t worry we’ll play tomorrow for sure..” Rainbow and Pinkie say in unison.
“Alright.” Pinkie waits for Rainbow to say ‘Jinks’ but it never happens so she lets it slide. Rainbow offers to walk Pinkie home first since she can just fly home with ease. They shared a few hugs and were soon on their way home, after Rainbow and Pinkie left, Twilight begins to clean up the library and shuts off the screen. While that was happening Rainbow and Pinkie were walking through the dark chilly night and having little conversations between each other until they saw a little filly sitting on some steps and decided to check what was happening. They approached the little filly and noticed a tint of orange glistening off the coat in the moonlight.
“Scoots..?” says Rainbow and she flies over to see what was wrong.
“Dash? What..are you doing..out so late?” Scootaloo wiped some tears away and stands up. Rainbow sits by her and Pinkie comes and sits on the other side.
“What’s wrong Scoots?” Scootaloo looks at her and says.
“I got kicked out...” Rainbow scoots a little closer.
“Who kicked you out? Where are you going to stay tonight?” Scootaloo starts sniffling again and cries a little.
“I..don’t know..I usually just find a good bench to sleep on but..” she cries a little harder and Rainbow wraps a wing around her.
“Look Scoots you're not going to stay alone tonight. you’re staying with me.” Scootaloo looks at her, wiping her tears away she says.
“R-r-really..?” Rainbow stands up and nods.
“I’m the element of loyalty, I can’t just leave you out here. Plus it’s chilly out and you need to stay warm.” Pinkie stands up and says.
“Are you hungry Scoots? Were going to Sugar Cube Corner i’ll get you a bite to eat.” Scootaloo says.
“No, I’m good Pinkie thanks.” At that moment Scootaloo’s stomach rumbles and she blushes. “As a matter a fact, I could go for some cupcakes right about now...” Rainbow swoops up Scootaloo with her wing and let’s her sit on her back. Rainbow gets up and walks toward Sugar Cube Corner, alongside Pinkie and a certain smiling orange filly. After Pinkie had given them several cupcakes and some milk, they were all feeling happy and energetic. After a few hugs and several long goodbyes Rainbow and Scootaloo were on their way. After Scootaloo and Rainbow left, Pinkie started cleaning up the scraps and went to take a little bath. When she walked into the hallway she says.
“Hey Gummy! Where are you?” she walks into the bathroom and starts the water using her mouth to twist the pipe. She let’s it run for a little and sticks a hoof into it. “Just right..” she slips into the tub and lets the hot water flow around her. She takes in a deep breath and fully stretches out in the tub, letting water touch the brim of her lips and soak up her mane. For a while she sits in total silence until she closes her eyes and falls asleep.
“Where do you live Rainbow?!” shouts a tiny orange filly riding on the back of a cyan-blue, rainbow maned mare. “Scoots! Its the middle of the night. Turn it down a bit...As a matter of fact, how are you still awake?” Scootaloo shrugs and says
“I’m used to being up this late.” Rainbow sighs and carries on. After a while of walking Rainbow steps out into an open field and Scootaloo looks up, she notices something and says.
“Your house looks more amazing at night..” Rainbow nods and says.
“It looks 20% cooler inside!” she takes off and they were soon surrounded by dozens of clouds. Scootaloo gazed at the starry sky and outstretched her wings, Rainbow saw this and did some loops and twirls while Scootaloo was letting out cheers of joy. A few minutes later Rainbow landed at the front of her house and walks in. Scootaloo jumps off her back lands in a rainbow puddle, she slides her front hooves along the cloud floor and looks at Rainbow who’s just smiling at her.
“What?” Rainbow chuckles and says
“You’re just like me when I was little” she walks past her and enters a different room. Scootaloo squeals the moment she enters the other room and soon runs after her. When Scootaloo enters the room she notices that there's several books lying around and a very comfy looking bed.
“Rainbow! Is this your ROOM?” she says with extra enthusiasm.
“Yea pipsqueak, come on.” she pats a spot of the bed right next to her. Scootaloo runs over and jumps on the bed. She sinks into the cloud furniture and moans.
“Ooo its softer than it feels” Rainbow chuckles and says.
“That’s ‘Altocumulus’ magic right there.” Scootaloo sinks deeper into the bed and yawns. “Aww, you must be tired Scoots.” she slides a little closer to Scootaloo and claps with her hooves, the lights shut off leaving only the rainbow colors illuminating from the other room and the moonlight emitting from the cloud ceiling. She wraps a wing around the orange filly who has fallen asleep and was snoring lightly, Rainbow looks at her and notices she looks alot like her in a way. She says to herself quietly “She’s determined, strong and courageous..but yet she’s unable to fly..” she takes a closer look at Scootaloo’s wings and looks at hers. “Not much difference..Then why can’t she fly?” she slides Scootaloo slightly over to her so they were touching and leans back on the bed. As she stares at the ceiling she hears little murmurs coming from the orange filly.
“You’re the best sister in the whole world!” Rainbow looks at her puzzled and leans a little closer to her muzzle. “I love you so much!” Scootaloo turns around and lays a hoof on Rainbows belly. “Wow sister you’re hugs are even softer than I imagined..” Rainbow blushes and feels her belly, she whispers to herself.
“Hmm it is a little soft..” she leans back and closes her eyes. After a while Rainbow wakes up and see’s its still late at night and a slight cool breeze was entering the cloud home. She feels around for Scootaloo who was on the other side of the bed and picks her up with her wings and slides her over again. When she puts her hoof on Scootaloo’s body she feels her shivering and slides her into her wings. At that moment Scootaloo mumers.
“I love you big sister..Even if your mane is more rainbow than mine..” she wraps her hooves around Rainbow and her chest begins moving up and down. Rainbow sighs, wipes away a tear and falls asleep.
. . .
“Is it done?” Luna lands and says
“Yes sister.” Celestia walks inside and Luna follows behind her, Celestia lays on her stomach and Luna stands.
“Did she see you?”
“No, I flew in and flew out, but I might have knocked some books over.”
“Did she see you though?”
“No”
“Okay good..” Celestia sighs and looks at the wall
“But sis what’s the problem?” Celestia looks at her and says with a deep tone.
“Hopefully Twilight will figure out this mystery and solve it before the wall continues its breakage..” Celestia bites her lip and Luna says,
“What else is wrong my sister?” Celestia looks at her.
“If she doesn't figure this out, The wall will continues its expansion until...”
“Until what?”
“It comes back...and if it comes back.." Celestia sighs and says "we won't be able to stop it, it will take over again"
“Which one? We’ve been attacked by many things before.” Celestia looks at Luna and looks deeply into her eyes and says
“The Two Legs.”
