Twilight Doesn't Get...

First published

Twilight may seem like the smartest pony on Equestria (And Earth/where ever CH is) but, is she up to terms with the newest stuff in the universe?

Twilight Sparkle. She's a smart unicorn-turned-Alicorn and may seem like she knows everything. But does she know about the newest things going on in the Universe?

Comment below what you want to see twilight not get! Will most likely take place more towards the Human universe than the pony but It may make some mentions. I will also update tags as I go. ENJOY!

"Yo Twilight!" Rainbow Dash yelled, running up to the studious Alico-Human.

Twilight Sparkle was currently in the library of Canterlot High doing some more research on human history. She, like always, had her nose buried in a book about something called World War One. It proved to be both fascinating, yet Gruesome.

"Huh? Oh hey Rainbow." She said, sitting up and turning halfway around in her chair.

"So, The girls and I wanted to know if you wanted to go see a movie or something tonight." Rainbow said, sitting down next to Twilight.

"Sure. Sounds Interesting." Twilight said, smiling.

"All right!" Rainbow said, Fistpumping.

Her little victory dance was interupted by a small sound emitting from her pocket.

"Ugh..." She said, pulling out her phone.

Twilight looked at the device with curiosity. She's read about these supposed 'phones' but she's never gotten to take a closer look at them. Oh how she'd like to pull it apart and take a look inside them...

"Uh... Twi?" Twilight was snapped out of her thoughts by Rainbow, who was tapping her foot impatiently.

"Uh... Sorry..." She said, smiling sheepishly.

"Ugh... Let's just go so I don't have to worry about Soarin' constant messaging me on Facebook..." She said, walking towards the doors.

"Uh... Facebook?" Twilight asked.

"Hm? Oh yeah, Facebook." Rainbow said, mentally slapping herself.

"So... Face... Book?" Twilight said, having a mental image of her face plus a book.

"Uh... Yeah... You should get an account one-"

*Slap*

Rainbow winced out of shock, but when she opened her eyes... Twilight had the massive encyclopedia right in her face.

"That's... Not quite what Facebook is..." Rainbow said, struggling to hold back laughter.

"Then what is it!?" Twilight said, pulling the book off her face with an audial snap.

"It's an App."

"App?" Twilight tiltled her head.

"Application." Rainbow said, exasperated.

"Oh! Oh... ok... Well..." Twilight said, pulling a piece of paper out.

Rainbow facepalmed.

This... Is going to be a long day...

"So, These games are purely for entertainment? And that Candy game isn't really a changeling mind spell?" Twilight asked for the millionth time.

"UGH... YES! Can we go to the movie now!?" Rainbow said, exasperated.

"... Well... No! I've still got lists to make and experiments to run!!!" Twilight said, running down to a random section of the library.

"Uh, The library is closed..." The librarian said, tired.

"TWI, TIME TO GO!" Rainbow shouted.

"But..." Twilight said, wobbling back with a huge stack of books.

Rainbow facepalmed... For the millionth time.

"Now's not the time... We missed the movie, Soarin' has messaged me all this time and now you're going all Phone crazy! How'd you even get that many books in that short time!?" Rainbow ranted.

Twilight looked hurt as she sighed.

Rainbow sighed alongside her.

"If you want a facebook so badly... We can... make you one..." Rainbow reluctantly said.

Twilight looked up with a glimmer in her eyes.

"Really!?" She said, getting up.

I'm gonna regret this...

"Really..." Rainbow said, smiling.

Twilight smiled and walked out as she found out all her CH friends were waiting outside... and beyond mad.

"Where were you!?" Pinkie yelled.

"I'm sorry Pinks. Mrs Smart over her wanted to know about Facebook." Rainbow explained.

This brought a whole bunch of moans and facepalms.

"Couldn't ya have saved it fer a diff'rent time?" Applejack asked.

"I'm sorry... but I wanted to know..." Twilight said, slouching.

"Of course darlin- Where did you get that hideous bruise!?" Rarity started shrieking.

"Twilight thought Facebook was what it sounded like..." Rainbow snickered.

Twilight looked sheepishly away while the whole group giggled alongside RD.

"So, why don't we have a slumber party instead?" Sunset Shimmer suggested.

The whole group agreed on this.

"I also... May have promised Twi a facebook account..." Rainbow sheepishly grinned.

The whole group was silent.

"Uh... Did you warn her about some of the stuff on there...?" Fluttershy said, quietly as she usually does.

"R-right! Lets just go to.... Pinkie's house! Yeah...Haha..." Rainbow said, panicking a bit.

"Alright." Pinkie said, shrugging it off.

"So, what did Rainbow tell you about facebook?" Sunset asked.

"Well..." Twilight said, pulling out a list.

"And then she told me that the candy matching game WASN'T a changeling mind spell." Twilight concluded.

She looked up from the paper.

"... You were TAKING NOTES!?" Rainbow fumed.

"Well, I want to share everything with my Ponyville friends so, Why not?" Twilight explained.

"That's not what I meant.." Rainbow facepalmed.

"Come on... We need to get you set up..." Rainbow said, walking over to pinkie's laptop.

She typed in the web address and twilight watched as the facebook sign in page popped up. Rainbow moved the cursor over to the sign up button and clicked on it.

She typed in Twilight's name and stopped short at the enter email part.

"Uh... Twi? You have an Email?" Rainbow asked, them mentally slapped herself again.

"Of course you don'-"

"Well, I had to make one up for applying to the school... It's Twilight.Sparkle@Gmail.com.... Whatever a Gmail is..."

Rainbow then asked "Have you made it official?"

"Oh don't worry, I helped her with that." Sunset said.

"Right..." Rainbow said, typing in Twilight's supposed 'Email'.

She re-entered it again and moved down.

"Password." She said.

"Uh..." She said, whispering her decided password in her ear.

"R-really?" Rainbow said, her eyes bulging a bit.

Twilight nodded and watched as Rainbow entered it.

"Really, honey, You should choose a stronger password than that..." Rarity said.

"It's the password to all my magically locked stuff..." Twilight said quietly.

"Rrrriiight moving along..." Rainbow said.

A few minutes later Twilight got a facebook account!

"It's all yours... We'll send you friend requests later." Rainbow said, slipping off the chair

"Cool." Twilight said, sitting down.

Five minutes later....

"I think I broke it rainbow..."

Twilight... (I'm gonna have fun with this one!)

Twilight was, again, sitting in a public library, this time, with a encyclopedia about 'mythical' beasts.

"Uh... yes, Do you... happen to have Twilight still on hold for me?" The shy voice of fluttershy rang out.

"Did Fluttershy call my name?" Twilight asked herself.

She got up and walked over to the shy girl.

"Oh, Hello Twilight." She said, picking up the book that was placed before her.

"Did you call me over?" Twilight asked.

"Huh? N-no... I was.. Uh... Trying to get a book..." Flutters said shyly, hiding behind a strand of loose pink hair.

"Oh which one?" Twilight asked curiously.

"Uh... Twilight...." She said, barely audible.

"Come again?" Twilight asked.

"T-twilight.... It's a series about vampires and werewolves..." She said, quietly.

"A book series...?" Twilight asked herself.

"Uh... I think they might have multiple copies if you want to read it..." Fluttershy said, pointing over at the fiction section.

"Well, ok." Twilight said, walking over.

She flicked through the shelf until she found the same cover that Fluttershy had.

"Well, I might as well give it a read..." She muttered.

The next hour twilight was repeatedly going from the fiction section to the other series of twilight.

"Uh... Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

Twilight didn't answer.

"Uh.. do you want to go... get a smoothie with me and the other girls? You don't have to come if you don't want to..." She asked.

"Huh? Oh sure..." Twilight said, stuck in the next book in the series.

"You're already at New Moon? So... Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?!" Fluttershy asked excitedly.

"Well... What?" Twilight asked, confused.

"W-well, the fans of the series who like Edward are called Team Edward and the fans of Jacob are called Team Jacob..." Fluttershy replied.

"I'm personally a Team Jacob fan..." She added.

"Uh.. In that case... Team Edward?" She said with a shaky smile.

Fluttershy put on a shocked expression and ran out of the library crying.

"... What did I do wrong?" Twilight asked herself.

It's been a couple weeks since Twilight's learned about Twilight. Let's see what our er... hero... is up to?

I don't get paid enough for this...

"Twilight!!!" Rarity called as she ran down the hall, struggling to keep up with twilight as the rush began.

"Huh? I'm sorry Rarity. I want just thinking about Ed-" Twilight began before clapping her hands to her mouth.

Rarity tilted her head at what she said before shaking it.

"Anways, I wanted to show you this picture that I just posted on Twitter." Rarity said, taking out her phone.

"... You mean the noise a bird makes?" Twilight said, confused.

Rarity looked up from her phone.

"Er... No darling. It's a social media site." She explained.

"So... Like facebook?"

"In a way..." Rarity said, thinking.

"I have sooooo many more questions!"

"But-" Rarity started to say.

"Can you play games? Can it share pictures and videos?" Twilight started to ramble.

"Twilight dear... I really..." Rarity tried to butt in.

"Is twitter better than facebook? Do I need an Email for this too?" Twilight kept asking.

Rarity sighed and pulled a chair over from the edge of the hall.

Twilight kept rambling on. Rarity was going insane.

"Twilight!" Rarity yelled, the edge of her sanity snapping.

"Yes?" Twilight said.

Suddenly her eyes shrunk to the size of pinpricks.

"Oh... I was rambling again... wasn't I?" She said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"A little." Rarity deadpanned.

"S-sorry..." Twilight muttered.

Rarity sighed.

"Lets... just drop it. I have the picture still saved to my phone... I think..." Rarity said, walking down the hall next to twilight.

"Alright." Twilight said, sighing.

They walked out the door to find five slightly mad girls waiting outside.

"Rarity! Did you forget!?" Rainbow dash yelled.

"Uh... Oh right... I was just so busy on Twitter that-" Rarity started before a loud groan emitted from the group.

"Rarity, Ya ought to let Twitter go." Applejack said.

"But-" Rarity prepared to argue.

"I still don't know what it is..." Twilight said.

"Uh girls? We shouldn't argue..." Fluttershy said, quietly.

"Twitter has just been a nuisance to you ever since you found you can brag about your designs on it!" Rainbow argued.

OH FORGET THIS! I QUIT!

"Wait Mr Narrator!!!" Pinkie Pie cried as the mysterious voice only she could hear vanished and was replaced with a different one.

The girls just stared at Pinkie and shook their heads.

"We should go..." Pinkie began to say as she slowly backed away.

"Uh... Ok?" Sunset Shimmer said, confused.

The group walked away in silence until Twilight brought up the one question that started this all:

"What's Twitter? I never got to know."
