Technology Is Magic

by Inactive Pone


Chapter 1:The Portal Link

Every one of you pony fans out there must have wondered about one question: What if technology was spread to Equestria? With all the awesome technology we have today and even more, to come, it is such a mystery to why the pony world's technology is so far behind. Just look around us. Cars, electronics, appliances... Nearly everything is technology! But just why, are the ponies so far behind?
That, my friends, is where the emperor of Britannica, Frisk, comes into play, with her go-to partner and friend Twilight Sparkle.


The night they went back to the human world... it felt like it was yesterday. It's been a few months since they saved Equestria once again, and it wasn't that long since Twilight left her friends. However, she still misses them a lot. She thinks about them every day, even under the workload, she wasn't that stressed at all.
Once during the night, Frisk was just done with the things she needed to do for the day. When she was about to go back to her 'private' room, she passed by Twilight's room as she was the mayor and also lives in the palace. She heard the sounds of her sighing. Curious to know why she opened the door to talk to her.
'I heard your sigh from outside, is something bothering you, Twilly?' Frisk asked.
Twilight sighed again. 'I miss them...' She cried.
'Again? We've only been gone for a few months really,' Frisk went over to her, sitting on her bed.
'I know it feels annoying, but I really do.' Twilight said, looking out to the sky. 'I wish there was a better way to reach out to my friends.'
'Don't worry Twilly, I'm sure they will figure something out. Now that the princesses are back, I know they have an idea. Besides, I know you wouldn't fly such a long distance again just to see them.' Frisk told her, bringing her close with her arm.
'Thanks, Frisk, I'm glad you are always there for me.' Twilight said, feeling shy.
'Yeah, I feel the same.' Frisk felt shy too.
'Well, I guess I better go to sleep, see you in the morning.'
Frisk slowly walked out of the room. 'You too, goodnight.' She said softly as she closed the door.



Back in Equestria, Starlight Glimmer was doing a lot of mad science experimenting inside a lab that was in Twilight's castle, which only Twilight and she knew about.
'Okay, it's finished, did you get that book Pinkie?' She called out to Pinkie Pie.
'Sure! It's right here.' Pinkie replied, tossing the book to her with her mane.
Starlight was setting up some kind of portal, similar to the one that took Twilight to Canterlot High. She plans to use it to somehow draw a connection between this world and Earth after Pinkie was somehow able to know the coordinates of Earth (Thanks to her crazy 4th wall breaking skills I guess).
'Alright, coordinates of Earth, zoom in... Coordinates of the country... Good. Double check the coordinates, perfect.' She said to herself, setting up the targeted location she wants to teleport to. 'Now, just need to put that book in the right place...'
As the book was inserted into the slot if sent some magical current through the wires connected to the portal, and with a loud bang, a beautiful blue-colored portal has lighted up!
'It worked!' Pinkie exclaimed, giving Starlight a high-five.
'Not yet,' Starlight replied. 'I still need to see if the coordinates I set up go to the exact place I want. If it does, then the problem of Twilight and us being so far away immediately gets solved.'
'Please don't recreate what happened to Twilight this time...'
Upon her friend holding her hoof, she answered, 'Don't worry, if I'm correct, I should be fine. I'll be back in a minute.'
Pinkie Pie went to tell the group about Starlight going to Earth to reunite with Twilight (again), leaving Starlight to get her one shot at the experiment.
'Okay... I hope I see you on the other side, Twilight.' She thought, jumping through the portal.


Back in Britannica on Earth, it was just a peaceful night. Everyone was sleeping, and nothing was all that special. That is until Starlight's portal came in. Surprisingly, it took her right to the throne room of the palace!
'Yes! It worked!' She thought. 'But where's Twilight?'
She walked around the palace, trying to find where the two friends are. Suddenly, she came to Twilight's room. She knows that because Twilight told her before she became the mayor of the country, and this was the mayor's room. Carefully, she opened the door without a sound and went over to see the princess, sleeping quietly and in a deep, sweet sleep.
'Twilight...' She whispered, nudging her head.
'No, Frisk... Just let me sleep a bit more...' Twilight replied in a soft voice.
'Look over here...' Starlight whispered, smiling.
Twilight was annoyed for a bit. She turned around and saw her friend standing there.
'Ugh... what is it now-Huh? Starlight? Is that you? Am I dreaming?' She asked.
Starlight chuckled. 'No, this is the real deal, I'm here with you!'
Twilight immediately flapped the blanket away and hugged her friend. 'Oh my Celestia, how did you get here?' She was very surprised, but a little puzzled.
'I'll explain later,' She replied. 'Where's Frisk?'
'Come, I'll show you.' Twilight went out of the room, guiding Starlight to Frisk.
Frisk's room used to belong to the evil emperor she defeated, Gromiz. Thus, the room was very nice and cozy. Starlight came over and did the same thing.
'Hey, Frisk~ Guess who's here?' She whispered to her ear.
Frisk merely opened her eyes. 'Oh, stop messing with me Twilly... Oh! Starlight, it's you!' She flapped away her blanket and got up.
'Come with me, I'll show you why I was able to get to here in the first place.' Starlight explained, going back to the throne room. When the two saw the portal, they had no reason not to be surprised and gasp.
'You made a teleportation portal!?' Twilight was in shock. Starlight immediately covered the loud voice from her mouth.
'Shh! No one can know about this!' She replied nervously. She jumped through the portal. Seeing what she did, Twilight and Frisk immediately followed after her.
