Celestia landed with a less-than-graceful thud on the ground beside Twilight... right after she'd slammed face-first into the glass window of the giant microwave being lowered over Ponyville.

"Twilight." Celestia popped up, brushing herself off with her wings. "What is the meaning of this?"

"I found out that it will, in fact, blend. So now, I wanna see if it'll explode!"

Celestia looked between the looming microwave and Twilight. "Blend? Explode? In the name of my left nostril hairs, what are you talking about?"

"Ponyville." Twilight kicked a cardboard bush on wheels over the piles of mush behind her. "I wanted to see if it'd blend, and it blended. Now I'm conducting a study in which I compare the energetic state of the town to that of an egg, when both are placed within a large device that uses high-energy electromagnetic waves to transfer heat energy into objects."

Celestia narrowed her eyes. "And what happens to the egg?"

"It explodes!" Twilight threw her clipboard up and then sheepishly ate it again. She wiped her mouth. "--Excuse me for my excitement. This is an experiment on unprecedented scales!"

"So you intend to detonate all of Ponyville and its inhabitants with a giant microwave."

Twilight nodded so quickly that she started generating lift.

"Where did you even get a microwave this big?"

"I took the one in your kitchen and made it bigger. Don't ask how."

"Ho--"

"Shut!" Twilight pinched Celestia's mouth shut. "I said don't ask!"

The microwave finally touched down on the ground, trapping Ponyville and everyone in town inside its metal walls.

"By the way, I had to cut the bottom off to do that. I hope you don't mind."

Celestia mourned the loss of the microwave's neat spinny glass plate thing, but nevertheless watched on. "So you've broken into Canterlot Castle's kitchens, stolen my microwave, mutilated it beyond belief, and are now about to use it to conduct what will inevitably result in the destruction of an entire inhabited town?"

"Eyup."

Celestia sighed, facewinging as she walked away.

She returned moments later with a pair of 3D glasses.

"I support my former student's endeavors fully, wherever and whatever they may be. I shall help in monitoring this experiment. I assume the control group is the state of Ponyville before it became enclosed by the microwave?"

Twilight nodded again, ignoring the peculiar dull pounding coming from within the giant metal box. She glanced down and slammed her hoof onto a conveniently-placed red button.





Twilight Sparkle, Ruler Supreme of the Many Realities of What If crossed off yet another Equestria from the list.
