CH 6: SCIENCE FAIR
Another day in CHS as the students study in their class. Meadow Swirl looks outside the window. Fluttershy glances towards him.

*Flashback* 
Meadow Swirl stands in front of Mane 7. 

"You have the geode that from Equestria. Give it to us," said Sunset.

"You don't know the power that geode has," said Twilight. 

Meadow Swirl smirks as he laughs. 

"I? don't know Equestrian Magic? Just because you have an Equestrian with you doesn't mean you know about Equestrian magic. Heck she can't even explained how Equestrian magic works in this world," said Meadow. 

He pulls out the rainbow geode from his pocket. 

"And you expect me to give this geode to you? I don't think so," said Meadow as he walks away.
*End flashback*

Fluttershy sighs. 'How are we going to convince him that holding geode like that is dangerous? How will that geode corrupt him?' thinks Fluttershy. 

"Okay students, in few weeks time, there will be a science fair. I hope you do your best on creating something magical scientific," said Ms. Cheerlie. 

Fluttershy looks at Meadow Swirl.

At recess, the Mane 7 is at the cafeteria. 

"I really can't wait for the science fair," said Twilight. 

"Yeah, we can be as creative as possible," said Sunset. 

"But darling, we need at least 3 representative from our school," said Rarity. 

"Sunset and I can be in a group but who will be the third representative?" asked Twilight.

Meanwhile, Meadow Swirl rest under the tree, looking at his blueprint of another android robot. 'I can build it very easy but I need a power source for it to fully function' thinks Meadow. Vice Principle Luna sits beside him. 

"With that creation, we will win the fair," said VP Luna. 

"I am not entering the fair," said Meadow. 

"Why? It is good for your experience," said VP Luna. 

"Not interested," said Meadow, coldly. 

Vice Principle Luna smiles as she stand up. 

"The venue will be at nuclear power plant where the nuclear arc reactor is. Since you need power to move that robot, you might create something based on the resources you have," said VP Luna as she walks away. 

"She is right, sir." 

The teen prodigy groans. 

"Look Apple Jewel, I understand your concern but I create for myself, not for the fair or for anyone to see and get hands on it," said Meadow. 

"Then sir, why don't you invent something normal just for the fair?" 

The teen prodigy gasps. 

"Why didn't I think of that? But then, what do I want to create?" thinks Meadow, wondering. 

"May I suggest something, sir? How about a writing tool that can benefits the students in short term and long term way?" 

The Bearer of Miracles chuckles. 

"Computer pen would be easy but then it is consider cheating. Maybe I can invent memory pen. It still benefits the students but it won't be called cheating," said Meadow. 

"Well done, sir." 

Meadow Swirl smirks. 'And I can get a few potions of nuclear for my incoming experiments' thinks Meadow.

Few days later, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle and Meadow Swirl along with other participants arrive at the nuclear arc reactor. The teen prodigy smiles looking at the generator. 'I think I know what my next personal project is' thinks Meadow. The instructor points at an old building not far away from the arc reactor. 

"That is where you will be staying and building your creation. I will remind you that all of you will be monitored through surveillance camera for each room. Remember, the arc reactor is restricted area. Any trespasser will be dealt harshly," said the instructor. 

Meadow Swirl smirks. 'Don't worry, by the time the fair is over, both of my creation will be complete and you won't realize a thing' thinks Meadow. 

After the participants head to designed room, Meadow Swirl looks around his room; a small study table, a small bed and on the corner of the room, a surveillance camera. He smirks. 'Escaping surveillance camera will be piece a cake. Getting the potions of nuclear energy can be a little challenge' thinks Meadow. 

Day by day, Meadow Swirl creates both memory pen in front of the camera and mini arc reactor somewhere hidden from the camera by using Apple Jewel to create a fake video of him doing his creation inside the surveillance monitor.

2 days later, Meadow Swirl crawls inside the factory, holding his mini arc reactor. He leaps towards the arc reactor and pulls out his mini arc reactor and fills it with the nuclear energy. 'Just wait until it is fully charge. Good thing I have enough tools to build 4 mini arc' thinks Meadow. He hears footsteps. 'Slag' thinks Meadow as he looks at his mini arc reactor that almost fully charge. 

"Apple Jewel, I need distraction. Activate the alarm on the other side of the factory, far away from the reactor," said Meadow, softly. 

An alarm as the footsteps run away from the reactor. He sighs as the mini arc reactors are fully charge and begin activate. He looks around and crawl back to his exit.

At the fair, Meadow Swirl studies his other blue print while waiting for his turn. 

"Sir, there are 75.6% chances that your invention won't be chosen as number 1." 

The teen prodigy chuckles. 

"I'm not here for the winning, Apple Jewel," said Meadow. 

The judges arrive at his table. 

"Hello Mr. Swirl. Can you explain to us about your invention?" asked the head judge. 

Meadow Swirl smiles, picking up a ball pen with a sphere on it. 

"Thank you for your time. I have develop a new writing utensil that can help the students answering the exam based on what they are reading and learning in class either by conscious or subconscious side. The students need to focus on the subjects they're taking their exam, the computer inside the pen will send the pulse into the brain to retrieve the information about the subject into the hand to write the information into the piece of paper," explained Meadow. 

"Isn't that consider cheating?" asked one of the judge. 

"Nope. The students still need to learn and study to store the information first before the memory pen can retrieve it. After all it is a memory pen not computer pen," said Meadow. 

"Can I test it?" asked the judge. 

"Please do," said Meadow. 

The head judge picks up the pen. 

"What should I do?" asked the head judge. 

"Just think of something. Anything," said Meadow. 

The head judge pauses for a minute and puts the pen down. His hand begins to write scientific quotation and formula as the judges look in awe. Meadow Swirl smirks. 

"As long as you have the information in your mind, the pen will write it," said Meadow. 

The judges write on their clipboard as the head judge pulls his hand up. 

"Interesting," said the head judge.

Meadow Swirl smiles
