" Meanwhile Twilight went to Fluttershy, just to see how she was doing. “Hi, Twilight how was your day today?” “It’s been fine Fluttershy, just wanted to see how you were doing today.” “Oh, I was doing fine today, but today I found a very cute creature today,” she pointed towards a small winged creature that was in her mane. “Would you like to have one, I have a few of them.” “Are you sure? Well as long as they aren't dangerous.” Twilight Sparkle said. “I am sure it’s fine Twilight, although I don’t know anything about them.” “You probably right, this will be a good opportunity for me to study them. Although right now it’s not a good idea.” “Is something wrong?” “It’s kind of nothing but it’s Princess Celestia visit, and I just don’t want to screw it up,” said Twilight. “Oh, okay! Well, good luck. I almost forgot if you see others, maybe you could offer it to them.” “I suppose!” Next stop was Rarity, Twilight went to her. “Hello darling, how can I help you today! Oh hello Twilight, Is there anything you want?” “Oh it’s nothing, I just wanted to chat I guess, feel free to continue to do your work.” “You want to chat? This is so much not you, now what is it about?” “Oh fine, be like that,” Twilight give up. “I am just here because Fluttershy thought it was cute to give you this creature, and I just wanted to do a scientific experiment.” “Uh, that explains it, are you sure I won’t regret it.” Twilight looked at her curiously “Let’s call this a favor. In exchange for this creature, I’ll do you a favor, name it and it yours.” “That’s what I like to hear,” Rarity smiled at her “Just remember the deal.” Twilight nodded, she exited Boutique, next stop Rainbow Dash. She was hoping to find her in the city but went to the cloud house instead. Somewhere on the random cloud “What’s up!” Twilight heard somepony called her. She looked up, there she was Rainbow Dash was looking at her from the cloud. “Hi Rainbow, you are napping I am assuming.” “What can I say those clouds are so soft and comfy.” “Uh huh,” Twilight said “Anyway, what do you want?” “Oh I, Fluttershy just wanted to give you this,” Twilight pointed out towards the creature. “Oh this, are you sure? Very well I’ll take it.” “You know what they are?” Twilight asked. “Sure I do. Just ask Pinkie Pie about them.” “Okay, well that was easy,” Twilight bite it her lips. “Yeah, don’t sweat it, I can handle it. Its technology is not my first time.” . “Not the first?” Twilight looked at her curiously. “I’ll tell you what, you have my scroll number, and well if you visit me at midnight, I might tell you stories.” “Okay, I will.” Next stop was Applejack, Twilight went to See Apple Acres. “Oh hello Pinkie,” Pinkie Pie was about to leave the orchard. “How were you been doing?” “Well, I just used up all of the emergency Princess Celestia visits to the town party.” “Okay, do you have emergency supplies to deal with this.” Twilight showed the creature to Pinkie Pie. Pinkie’s eyes widened. “Of course I do silly.” “Twilight Sparkle sighed, “Well why don’t you get them ready, just for today would you let me do this scientific research.” “Eh, I guess, " Pinkie Pie shrugged. “But you do realize that I can tell you everything about them, and save you a lot of trouble while doing so.” “I do, I just need some various data.” Twilight wished Pinkie farewell and making sure to take a Pinkie Promise from her. I Pinkie Promise that I wouldn’t start the parasprite extermination party until at least tomorrow. Twilight went to the barn. “Hi, sugar-cube is there something you want.” “Well, I went to Fluttershy today and well, she just wanted to give you this,” Twilight pointed at the creature. “Um, just so you know I promise to compensate any damage that they might cause.” “Well okay then, as long as you are offering.” “Yeah well, I kind of feel that it’s my responsibility to do this. And it would be unfair to you if I cheated you on this one.” Twilight said goodbye to AppleJack and she went on her business. Twilight was sleeping in the library, the clock show 11:50 pm. Twilight woke up, maybe she should just as well visit Rainbow. She took the scroll and scratched on it with the pen I want to come to you if your offer still stands.. Twenty seconds later scroll vibrated back. The Sure thing, come on in, I’ve been waiting. Nine minutes later Twilight was in front of Rainbow Dash house. She pushed the button on the door. “The door is opened, just come in!” Twilight heard Rainbow voice from inside, Twilight then opened the door and trotted inside into the living room. “Surprised?” “Yeah, a bit, I didn't expect you to live on the ground.” “I suppose it had to happen at some point, ever since I took Scootaloo in. She can’t exactly fly, plus I can afford it.” “So, where is parasprite then?” Twilight asked. “Uh, so you met Pinkie Pie then?” Rainbow Dash asked Twilight nodded. “To answer your question I put it in the freezer.” Twilight just looked at her mouth agape, “You put it in the freezer!? “Yeppers, right now our new neighbor is in the stasis, therefore harmless.” “But. . .” “Twilight, I am not stupid, parasprites were designed as the biological weapon. Considering where I used to work, activated parasprite can be equivalent to disaster. “You said they are the biological weapon, are they used by EUP?” Twilight asked “Not exactly, the modern military have no idea that they exist. Parasprites are equivalent to myth and legends.” “So they were used by your department?” “You could say that it’s kind of a lot of fun to watch,” Rainbow said with the glee. “Well not so much fun for the victims, they weren't enjoying it.” “But why?” “To starve, to create chaos, to destroy the enemy with extreme efficiency. Sometimes, we even deployed carnivorous version, the result was quite unexpected and gruesome.” Twilight eyes widened. “Oh don’t be such a chicken. This type of parasprite designed to starve. And, you wanted to play scientist, so enjoy the show.” This was a bit too much. Twilight was hoping she didn't make a mistake. “Why me, and why didn't you stop me?” She asked Rainbow. “Because it’s fun to watch? Now then, just relax and enjoy the night.”
