Through scientific invention, Twilight shielded her eyes from witnessing the inevitable deaths of her friends. 

And her wife.

It worked. 

For a while.

In the latent space, Twilight searches for an image of Rarity she can still see.

Invading an extra-dimensional mad scientist's secret lair? No big deal for the agents of S.M.I.L.E.

But what Lyra and Bon Bon find there might give them some second thoughts.

For a fee, you can rent a pony.

You can be a pony.

But you can never stay a pony.

An entry for the Science Fiction Contest III organised by Bicyclette.

Some months have passed since the destruction of the Memory Stone. Wallflower Blush has entered a new school year, her last at CHS, and so far, things have been looking up. Talking to people is getting easier, and she even has a few friends to her name.

But dealing with social repercussions is still a thing that Wallflower has struggled with all her life. Making a few connections is all well and good, but what about deeper connections? What about one-on-one bonding? What about dating? With the shield of the Memory Stone gone, how can Wallflower find a safe way to experience consequences?

Luckily, her first date with Moondancer is certain to give her some much-needed education on the subject. Even if it takes a few more first dates than normal.

Marble Pie was born with a spark of ingenuity that couldn't be found anyplace else. She used this gift to create a machine. A machine that walks on two legs, a mech. It is an impressive creation of steel and magic, and it would never see the light of day.

As if she would let those 'outsiders' steal one of her creations again. All that the ponies outside of her family did was judge and steal. It was best not to talk to them. Especially when she couldn't even meet their eyes with the pop rocks bubbling in her stomach. Unfortunately, three new arrivals might change that.

One is a pony, arriving fresh to the isolated town of Rockville with a penchant for fairy tales. The other, a wave of mechanical terrors with unknown intentions but terrible intent. And the last, a pile of ancient dragon bones speaking to her in binary and text. He offers power beyond her own, and a way to help combat this threat. However, his past remains a mystery, and his methods are... unorthodox. When an ancient evil is swarming the countryside, there is one fact that remains startingly true.

It's nice to have a little more firepower.
