What the where?

1-3: The nerd, the bird and the turd.

11/7/1500, Sunday, 10:00 AM.

I hate this. Last night, I got my false memories downloaded into me while I was asleep. I'll let you guess why I am still lying in bed and looking sad. If you guessed that I have no family because they died then your correct!

I'll explain the thing in brief. According to the memories, on my 18th birthday, me, my parents, little brother and little sister had gone out to celebrate. We had been walking down some street and some old building in the street collapsed and there you have it. A few others had died along with them. I didn't feel very, very sad because the memory is almost four years old and in that much time, I would have gotten over it.

Also 5th dimensional was wrong. I'm 21 and going to turn 22 on 8 November. Idiot.

*knock knock knock*

Second time where I have been summoned by rapid knocking. I get off my bed and head downstairs. I open the door and suddenly I am wearing a bucket and covered in mud. I can hear Pinkie and Rainbow laughing their butts off. I pull the bucket off of my head and open my eyes and they were already running away while laughing. I need a bath.


10:21 AM

I want to throw Pinkie and Dash into the 'mud' that they used on me. That stuff was sticky as hell and took a lot of effort to remove. I'll see if I can try to get payback but I'll do that later.

I head downstairs to my basement and turn on the lights. I walk over to the object at the center of the basement. The object would seem really weird to a normal pony as it seems like it's just a bunch of metal. However, an intelligent pony like Twilight would be able to tell that it is an engine. This was my idea. Twilight may consider me crazy for trying to build an engine because it is impossible for anypony to make it...

…but I'm not a 100% pony. I'll explain the engine to you all. It's an inline 6 cylinder engine that runs on magically charged sunflower oil. It use mechanical compression to ignite the fuel. The fuel is magically charged by a enchanted gem that is embedded in the fuel tank that binds magicules from the ambient magic to the oil. Basically, a diesel engine. In theory, this should work but I still haven't tried turning it on. Today is the day where I will either fail or make history.

With the push of a button, the engine roars to life and history is made.


1:00 PM

Pinkie had given me an invitation for the party with Gilda to which I was heading. I can already see Pinkie waiting at the door for me. She had asked me why I was in such a good mood. I didn't tell her about the engine's success but promised to tell her at the party. I just want to see Twilight's face when she hears this.

"Glad you could make it to the party!", Pinkie says in her joy filled voice.

"Wouldn't miss one of your parties.", I replied with a smile as I entered the building. My smile deteriorates a bit as I see the reactions of everyone inside. Twilight is clearly not happy to see me, Rainbow is smiling mischievously, Rarity is thinking that I'm sus and AppleJack don't seem to care. Only Fluttershy is happy to see me while Gilda is curious. Everypony else don't care that I'm here.

"Yo whaddup?", I greet them.

"Nothing. What about you?", Gilda replies.

"I made an internal combustion engine that works.", I say. The reactions towards me are different now. Twilight looks angry, AppleJack seems interested and the others are confused.

"You're joking right?", Twilight asks as she walks towards me.

"Nah.", I reply with an internal smile.

"Making an internal combustion engine is impossible. I know this because I have read books. You must be lying.", she says with a smug expression as she stops in front of me.

"I'll prove you wrong after this party.", I reply as I turn to Gilda.

"I'm Lonely Gear and you're?", I ask, pretending to not know her identity.

"Gilda, the coolest griffin ever.", Gilda replies with a smile.

"Okay."


1:14 PM

The party was cool and didn't end up with Gilda getting [TRIGGERED] by the pranks because I fell for most of them. It wasn't really harmful since the lemon-drops weren't really spicy for my South-Indian ass. Right now The mane 6, plus Gilda because she was curious, are heading to my house to see the engine. We are already on the wooded path and I think that this is the first time that everyone except Twilight has been here.

"This place is so calm.", Fluttershy says as she looks around.

"And beautiful.", Rarity adds.

"I gotta admit than this is a neat place to live. Probably the second coolest house in ponyville.", Rainbow says.

"I'm lucky that no one bought this house because it is haunted.", I say.

"H-h-h-haunted?!", Fluttershy says as she hides behind her own mane.

"It's all lies. I have a roommate who has lived here for the last three hundred years and hasn't seen anything paranormal.", I say. Everyone except Fluttershy and Twilight laugh, thinking that I joked but little do they know about Karen. We soon reach my house.

"What's that on the front yard?", Gilda asks as she looks at the engine.1

"The engine.", I reply. Max flies out of the trees and onto my head. He really likes sitting on my head for some reason. Twilight inspects the engine and teleports a notepad and quill and starts taking notes. Not good. I'll have to get a patent as soon as possible or else Twilight might steal the credit. I pull her back from the engine with magic and turned to face everyone.

"Now witness the nerd magic.", I say asI push the button that switches on the engine. This time however it didn't switch on immediately. Right before Twilight could accuse me of lying, the engine roars to life and scares Fluttershy. Twilight just stands there with a open mouth and wide eyes.

"Well that's okay but what can it do?", Gilda asks as she eyes the engine.

"Nothing until I attach it to something else like a cart. If I attach it to a cart then then the cart should go very fast without needing someone to pull it.", I answer.

"How fast?", Rainbow asks.

"Over a hundred kilometers per hour. Definitely not as fast as you.", I say as Twilight closes her mouth and stares at me.

"You couldn't have made this!", she shouts as I turn the engine off.

"Why couldn't I have made this?", I ask Twilight.

"So many scientist have tried and failed at engines and then some random unicorn like you successfully makes one! This engine must be fake!", she argues as she starts scanning the engine.

"So, you're saying that I look too dumb to make an engine?", I ask with slight anger.

"YES!"

"..."

"..."

"... I could eat alphabet soup and shit a better argument than that.", I say. Gilda and Rainbow start laughing their asses off, while the others just giggle. Twilight looks more enraged than before. She sends me a death glare before teleporting away.

"I'm writing that down for later!", GIlda says as she stops laughing.


7: 43

I spent the rest of the day with Gilda, exchanging jokes and insults. She was clearly impressed with my(reddit's) insults. We had a competition where we made yo mama jokes. Gilda stood no chance. Eventually she had to leave. The mane 6 and I waved her off. Twilight was glaring at me all the time.

In the end, I was Gilda's first nerd friend. Life's good.
