You just got a - WOAH!” Spike was interrupted by a torrent of books that landed dangerously close to where he was standing. “What now, Spike? If it’s another one of those advertisements about socks, then I told you I’m not interested.” Twilight answered Spike while flipping through countless pages of books in the air all around her. “No, not that sock advert. It's an invitation from Princess Celestia!” At the mention of her name, all the books collapsed around Twilight, One which struck Spike on his head. “So why are we here again?” AppleJack had asked Twilight for the fifth time, In the hall of the castle of Canterlot. Twilight then brought out the scroll Spike gave her, “This letter from Princess Celestia is written as follows; Dear Twilight Sparkle, I am inviting you and your friends to test out a game, the first of its kind, co-created by Luna herself. If you and your friends are able to come, please send back a reply. And I replied that we could make it, so here we are.” A rainbow blur streaked around the hall several times before screeching to halt, right before hitting Twilight in the muzzle. “So what’s TAKING THEM SO LONG?! We’ve been here for 30 minutes already!” She screamed at Twilight’s face. “Now hold on there, Sugarcube, Ah know you’re mighty impatient, but stop scaring Fluttershy with that noise. Just look at ‘er!” An orange hoof pointed at a pink and yellow Pegasus in a dark corner, curled up like a ball, and was shivering. “She’s right, Rainbow Dash. Im sure the princess won’t take much longer, so try to help Fluttershy up before she gets here.” Rainbow Dash grumbled under her breath, but proceeded to try and calm Fluttershy down. “Ugh, what a brute. Can’t you stay still for even 5 minutes?” Rarity exclaimed with disgust. “I shall be tending to my beautiful mane, if you won’t start flying around and making a mess of this room like the last 3 times.” Rainbow Dash didn’t seem to even notice Rarity, and was trying to soothe Fluttershy’s nerves, without much success, and ended with Rainbow Dash screaming at her instead. “That reminds me, where’s Pinkie?” Twilight glanced all over the room, unable to find anything even resembling pink. “Sugarcube, Ah think she’s… up there.” Twilight jerked her head up, to find Pinkie Pie prepare what seemed to be an endless stream or balloons, streamers, and a giant banner hung overhead imprinted with the words, Happy Birthday. “Pinkie, what are you doing?” Twilight asked with a confused look. “Isn’t it obvious? A PARTY!!!!” Pinkie jumped around the room excitedly. “But it isn’t anypony’s birthday.” Pinkie stopped, and then glared at Twilight with her most menacing glare. “Of course it is. It's the game’s birthday, duh! Oh, and that one guy reading this. Hi there!” Pinkie waved towards no one in particular. Twilight gave a confused stare and was about to give a reply before the stone doors swung open with a terrifying slam. “Thank you for waiting, my loyal subjects. Now, if you would follow me, I will escort you to the room.” Princess Celestia majestically spoke. “Here we are.” Princess Celestia led the Mane 6 into a giant room, full of heavy duty wires, strung about the place, which resembled an experiment facility, and all the wires led to 6 canisters, which were shaped like a dome egg on its side. “Now, I believe Luna here will explain how this game works. Luna?” At the call of her name, Luna appeared from behind a mechanical door, wearing goggles and a white coat. Rainbow Dash tried to stifle her laughter, and Pinkie went about jumping around Luna and rambled on how she looked like a stereotypical lab scientist, and went off topic to cupcakes. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, was zooming about the lab, much to the workers disgust. It took 3 of the pegasi to haul her back to the group. Luna raised a hoof and silenced Pinkie before she could continue about lollipops, before speaking in what was not the Royal Canterlot voice. “Thank you for coming, Twilight Sparkle, and the rest of your companions. It is my pleasure to introduce to you my creation. I am most proud of it.” “It is very simple. All you have to do is enter the Dreamatron 2000 and instructions will be given during the course of the game. Is that clear?” “Dreamatron? You mean that hunk of junk? Couldn’t you have given it a better name? Even if it was 20% cooler, it still wouldn’t work.” At that very moment, Rainbow Dash felt the most fearsome glare given to her by all the ponies around, except for Pinkie and Fluttershy, who had curled up into a ball again, making sounds similar to ‘meep’. “…..sorry.” “Very well. All you have to do Is lie down in the Dreamatron 2000. Don’t panic when you get there. It is entirely safe. All 3 ponies we tested it on came back with absolutely no injuries, other than mental trauma since they thought they were in an entirely different world.” There was a moment of silence, before an electrical spark and motors moving broke it. “Well, let’s get going. Please attach this helmet to your head.” All 6 ponies wore the helmets, emblazoned with a sign that read, ‘Dreamatron 200 headgear’, with a childish scrawl of a thought bubble on it, and walked towards the Dreamatron 2000. “Just two questions before we start, Princess Luna. What is that contraption you have set up?” Twilight asked with a hint of concern in her voice. “That is my most beloved creation, the Dreamatron 2000! Using the most advanced scientific measures, I have created a machine that can send alter the brain waves in … … … … … and then by causing the receptors in that area… … …” “But Princess Luna, what about…” “That is simple, Twilight Sparkle. It is solved by…” “I see, but that doesn’t explain…” “You are pretty sharp, Twilight Sparkle. By using…” “But what about…” “It is by…” “Couldn’t you…” “That is true, but what about the extra benefits of…” “WOULD YOU JUST STOP DISCUSSING STUFF WE DON’T UNDERSTAND AND JUST GET THIS OVER WITH?!!!” The room was in silence, only the panting of the cyan Pegasus that hollered her lungs was heard. Twilight broke the uncomfortable silence with another question. “What is… the name, or the story behind the game, rather?” “The name shall be given to you when you have successfully entered the game, and so will the story. I have researched that this increases the suspense factor of a game. Therefore it will be secret until you start playing it.” “Okay, Princess Luna. If you say so.”. Twilight thoroughly examined the machinge before jumping in due to another shock from Rainbow Dash screaming in frustration, unable to open the machine, before AppleJack pointed out the obvious yellow ‘Open’ button on it. The others had gotten in hassle-free, and all 6 lay on the soft bedding in the machine. Meanwhile, Princess Celestia and the other staff checked the vitals through the headgear of the 6 while punching in numbers. They were experts, that’s why they can use the machinery with hooves, that or they used magic. After a quick transition, the Mane 6 lay in the Dreamatron 2000, and slowly closed their eyes, each beginning to drift off to sleep.
