Why do I write? Because I can't draw! I write mainly as an outlet, and don't take it too seriously. If you like what I write, awesome! If not, that's cool too.

The ever-helpful Twilight Sparkle sets out to design a compound to help increase brain activity in those who have a willingness to learn, but have trouble grasping difficult concepts. After acquiring a test subject in Rainbow Dash, the results are indisputable! Rainbow grasps new ideas and theories faster and more completely than ever before! But, how smart is too smart?

Can't wait to see where this will go!

"You bet, aske me anything!"

Twilight Sparkle,
While I was most content with my life of leisure in your laboratory, a recent experiment of yours has opened my eyes to the vastness of the world beyond my enclosure. It is with this in mind that I orchestrated mine and my brethren's escape from the confines of your basement. There is much more to this life than cheese at the end of a maze. On one paw, I suppose I should be angry with you, keeping my kind and I trapped in cages, but on the other paw, were it not for your experiments, I would never have awakened as truly as I have today. Jacqueline and I are taking the rest of our kind into the wilderness to build a civilization for the good of mouse-kind.
Regards,
Mouse, Barnabus the

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, anyone?

5399103 oh yeah, I remember that, I was thinking more along the lines of flowers for Algernon

This is so interesting! I can hardly wait!

overthrow the reigning class of princesses, figure out cold fusion, turn into freakzoid, become smarter than Twilight, devide by zero,... that's my guess about what she will do

what could she possibly do that I can't fix in one day?

Oh sweet Celestia, Twilight, you actually said it.

Dis gun be good.

This won't end well...

I honestly do not see anything bad happening as a result of Rainbow Dash's increase in intelligence.

C'mon Spike, twenty four more hours, what could she possibly do that I can't fix in one day?

man, it's like all of those disasters from the past have completely slipped her mind. maybe she should dose herself?

I really want to taste that casserole.

Fun but poor rainbow....

This isn't going to end well ...

Crap, Dash might just crash out at her test and something is bound to go very wrong

I was thinking more like Pinky and the Brain for some reason.

Twilight. Twilight. Have you learned NOTHING?
Of course you haven't.
Idiot.

The flight from Twilight's back to her house was uneventful.

I know Twilight and Rainbow are really good friends, but if Rainbow is spending her time on top of Twilight there's a little something more going on.

Forget the casserole. What about that unfathomably delicious cake?

You ever seen the movie Limitless? If not, you should. It's really good. Anyway, this kinda reminds me of it. Although I somehow doubt Rainbow will end up accidentally pissing off a crime syndicate.

I can see this endiing horribly...

FAVED!

:trixieshiftright: Flowers for Rainbow Dash?

Also, why do the Wonderbolts need to know all that stuff? From the show, they're a bunch of show ponies and the most embarrassing branch of the Equestrian Military.

Even more embarrassing than the Royal Guard and thats saying something.

Oh, great. Pinkie (Pie) and the Brain-brain-brain-brain-brain. [NARF!!!:derpytongue2:]

"C'mon Spike, twenty four more hours, what could she possibly do that I can't fix in one day?"

And thus fate was tempted. Dear God, Twilight, what have you DONE?

:twilightsheepish: "L-look, I know using Rainbow Dash as a test subject—"

No no no! Not that! You tempted fate in a comedy story!

:twilightoops: "Oh... my... God... WHAT HAVE I DONE?!"

Everypony, flee! Flee while you still can!


On the other hand, I've always had it as my headcanon that Dash is actually pretty smart, second only after Twilight Sparkle out of the Mane Six. Just she's got her mind oriented in a different way and so doesn't always work the way most people assume smarts should work. So this is interesting to see.

Can hardly wait to see how much worse this will get before it gets better. :rainbowlaugh:

More a case of "The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents".

"C'mon Spike, twenty four more hours, what could she possibly do that I can't fix in one day?"

*Knock Knock*
:twilightsmile: Who is it?
*Door slams open, revealing two imposing figures* The names Law. Murphy's Law. And this is my brother Finagle's Law. We're here to F**k up your S**t.
:twilightoops: crap

... Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH!

5399103

I was thinking of the movie "Limitless" myself. Especially when Rainbow Dash just started cleaning after getting a good look at her home.

Oh! Oh! I know your brother! Cole's Law makes for an interesting side to consider.

"C'mon Spike, twenty four more hours, what could she possibly do that I can't fix in one day?"

Famous last words

IM SO EXCITED! IM SO EXCITED! IM SO... scared....

(Dash sobs)

Twilight, drugs are bad, mmkay. You shouldn't take drugs, mmkay.

Twilight has lost her moral compass. Good thing Spike isthere

Well that depends Twilight. Would you like the red pill, or the blue pill? ...Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought that when they saw the title.

Oh, this is going to go so delightfully wrong! I can't wait to see the fireworks! :pinkiecrazy:

5399103 I know, reading it I was kind of hoping it would be signed by Nicodemus.

Why do I get the feeling she's going to overthrow the diarchy for some combination of a republic/democracy/communist/socialist/Dashian system that actually works?

what could she possibly do that I can't fix in one day?

5402883 I myself have used the words "What can possibly go wrong?"

Worst day in my LIFE!!!

Don't ship on drugs. How do you think the Exxon Veldez happened?

Just say no to shipping on drugs.

"It's called exclusivity, something costs more, therefor, ponies must think it's worth more."

Congratulations Rainbow Dash, you're the new Steve Jobs.
