Sparkle's Psychotic Science

Twilight Sparkle, Ponyville’s resident librarian and protégé to Princess Celestia, has been performing experiments that cross the line. What line exactly? The line that ponies are not meant to cross. On Thursday April 12th, Sparkle created an abomination to nature.

“Oh it was dreadful,” said ‘Charity’, a local dress maker. “There were these dark clouds just hovering over the library. And these tacky metal spires were touching the sky.” ‘Charity’ had walked in on Sparkle performing experiments. According to ‘Charity’, Sparkle was “laughing manically and spitting in Mother Nature’s face”. When asked to elaborate, she said that Sparkle was creating life.

“You should have seen this… well ‘thing’ is the only way to describe it,” she said. “It was horrible, an affront to nature itself. Celestia should smite it where it stands!” The Foal Free Press decided to talk to Sparkle about the accusation.

“This is all just baseless conjuncture,” Sparkle explained. “I have not been trying to create life.” During The Foal Free Press’ interview, an explosion happened in the background. Immediately, the reporter questioned it. Sparkle explained that she was supposedly asked by Princess Celestia to create “dynamite for miners”. Unfortunately, The Foal Free Press could not receive any more information from Sparkle.

“You’re asking too many questions,” Spike, Sparkle’s assistant and baby dragon, told The Foal Free Press. “Ponies who ask questions, must be silenced.” Before the reporter could ask what that threat meant, a pony made out of clay appeared behind Spike. The photographer accompanying the reporter took multiple pictures of the ‘thing’, but they were all lost. Spike threw what looked like a scroll in the ‘thing’s’ mouth and it attacked the two ponies. They both survived, however all photographic evidence was lost due to the camera being destroyed.

Both Sparkle and Spike have been creating abominations of nature and science. Do not listen to what Sparkle says, she is playing god, and she must be stopped.

“I’m not playing god, I’m just doing science.”
