//------------------------------// // Tree power, activate! // Story: Cave Johnson and Twilight Sparkle here! Let's do this for Science! // by Chetzi //------------------------------// "Cave Johnson here, and we have a doozy for the test today. Our scientists spent all last night designing this glove that gives the user the superpower that they've always wanted. I tried it, and the sky rained companion cubes. I was disintegrating those things for weeks. But back to science, I have Shyflutter here with me, since she's volunteering to be our first volunteer. Go on, say hello to the invisable crowd of people watching us." Fluttershy was hiding behind her chair. She slowely poked her head out. "Mr. Johnson sir, it's Flut-" Fluttershy attempted to say, before getting cut off. "Flutters, you can't hide behind that chair all day, there's science to be done." "O-okay, but my name is-" "No time for names, put on this glove." "But I can't... I'm really sorry..." "Why? What's the problem?" "No no, you should just find another pony." "No, I need you for this." "Are you sure? Do you really want to know what's wrong?" "Yes!" "Well, we don't have hands nor fingers, I can't wear this, it's an ugly green and purple, it's glued not stitched, the amount of energy coming off that thing could kill us all if it failed, and Celestia banned science after the goop and ninjas attacked Canterlot." Johnson stood there, wide-eyed at the large amount of problems that she found. He never thought she could complain like that. "I see your problems, but you can just slip it over your hoof, Shutterfly." "It want me to, I guess I could do that." "Now that's what I like to hear, here's the glove." Cave handed the glove to Fluttershy, who then slipped it over her hoof. "So, how do I use it?" "I have no idea, we never got that far testing." Fluttershy got scared and tried to take the glove off, but turned into a tree as she touched the glove. "Huh, so that's how it works. That reminds me, what did I do with that poorly drawn guy, I think he called himself Treeman." It was this. Cave then shrugged, and left the lab to find other test subjects. An hour later. "I will punch thee with tofu!" Princess Luna yelled at Celestia as she assaulted her with rectangular-shaped tofu. They both stood in the throne room, with blown-up chunks of wall missing and a Canadian licking a keyboard spinning in the corner. "When did you learn the art of tofu?!" Celestia asked Luna, as she shielded herself from Luna's tofu. "I learned to use it as a medium on my first day at art school!" "Uh, Mr. Camera man, we're over here, you can record us, if that's okay with you..." Fluttershy said, making a transition happen and the scene focusing on Cave Johnson and various ponies standing in a line. The background was a generic grass meadow. "Okay, now it's time to test. Some of you may not make it, so we'll be sure to send your loved ones ponymart giftcards. "Wait what!? I might die?!" Rarity squeaked. "What? No, I mean you'll just have a sudden urge to impulse buy bad clothes." Rarity then dramatically fainted. Two giant doughnuts ran behind her, and dragged her off. "Okay, who's first?" "Oh, me me! Me! Meeeeeeee!" Pinkie yelled from the end of the line. "Uh, yes, the pink one. Step up." "Yippee!" Cave trotted over to her, and sliped the glove over her hoof. Pinkie jumped into the air, and emitted a bright pink light. The ponies were blinded as Pinkie rose into the air. The light then dispersed, and she turned into a toster. The toaster landed on the ground, dinged, and spat out two bendy iPods. Fluttershy fainted from the ding, and two eclairs walked up and dragged her away. "Hey, have the paramedics been changing pastries? I could've sworn they were doughnuts before. Whatever, more science." "Ahem," Celestia said as she teleported behind Cave. She was covered in tofu bits. "I don't think giving Luna an endless supply of tofu was a good idea. Nor are any of your other experiments. I will politely ask you to refrain from causing mayhem in my kingdom, Mr. Johnson." "Uh... hey look, a thing!" "What?" "In the sky!" Celestia turned around and looked up. "I certainly don't see-" Celestia said, before she was interrupted by a glove being slipped on her hoof. "What the?" Celestia then shot into the sky, and turned into your math teacher. "Well, that worked. Okay ponies," Cave said as he turned back to the test subjects. "We have two days before she turns back. I think we can finally use that glowing stuff we stole from Chrysalis. And hopefully this time it won't start shooting lions wearing Rainbow Dash costumes at us." "I'm back!" Twilight yelled as she trotted toward Cave Johnson. "What the... what did I miss?"
