Twilight let out a giggle of excitement as she put her safety goggles on, she was about to revolutionize educational technology after all. Every weekend for the past four months Twilight had toiled in her lab to get the tiny device she was about to activate working. The lab was a large room with the same crystal construction as the rest of her castle, which also sported a pool, hot tub, 4 different studies, and a mini-golf course within its walls, at times Twilight wondered if here home broke the law of conservation of mass or not, but that was a question for another day.

Twilight trotted over to the large crystal slab that served as the lab's workbench. The workbench was insanely resilient to damage, many a potion had exploded on it during failed experiments, but it still did not have a single scratch on it. Twilight giggled when she remembered when spike had tried to eat it.

"I can still remember the look on Colgate's face when I told her how Spike broke his teeth that day"

On the middle of the workbench, surrounded by tools, notes, and random spare parts, was Twilights creation, a small metal tube with a diameter less then that of a bit. Twilight lifted it to her face with her magenta magic, revealing that one end of the device was made of glass, with the opposite  being a small red button. She turned to face the chalk board on the wall to her right, aiming the glass end of her invention at a plus sign that was part of one of many complex math equations on it.

"Now, TO END THE DAYS OF THE WODDEN POINTING STICK!!" Twilight yelled at the top of her lungs as she gave the red button a push.

A click was heard, instantly followed by a tiny red dot appearing on the chalk board.
