Passing the door to the science wing, Rainbow Dash was astonished at the gleaming shine everything here had. She thought the royal castle was the cleanest place in Equestria for the longest time, but now it seems the adolescence of the science wing took extreme pride in the idea of seeing your reflection everywhere, even on the garbage cans.
The halls were long with a silver tile floor, the lockers were large, thin blue ones that lined the walls and were spaced out the whole length of the wing. The remaining spots of nothing on the walls were reserved for motivational science posters, science jokes, and the schools science trophies. Most if not all of which, were gold. Twilight didn’t seem as impressed her friend and it was due to the fact she had been here before, as a matter of fact next to the library, this was her favorite place to come when she was bored before she moved to Ponyville.
The ponies were mildly chatting about the day’s events so far, and all had the same attire. White lab coats with red ties and pens and pencils in their pockets. There was sign in front of Twilight that pointed them to the room at the other of the hall upstairs for the presentation. They didn’t have a lot of time so they started walking down the long hallway.
Again just like walking through Canterlot, Twilight gave a tour of the collage and its history. How it was built in the name of Star Swirl the Bearded, how they were the running science fair champions for the seventeenth year running, and how the colt’s room was rebuilt three times thanks the pranks that went a little overboard.
“Speaking of which,” Twilight said. “I need to use the mare’s room. I’ll be out in a minute, don’t get into any trouble.” The unicorn was feeling natures call and trotted into the restroom leaving Dash outside. The Pegasus stood outside the door waiting for her friend. Dash looked around at all there was of the science wing.
“Hey, Rainbow Pegasus.” Someone to her left called. Dash looked over and saw two stallions with a small box of crackers. One was Black mane and grey bodied wearing a black t-shirt, the other was red and blue mixed in the mane and scarlet for the body and he had a saddle bag, for some reason full of lemons. “Where are you from?” The grey one asked.
“I’m from Ponyville.” The cyan mare replied. While the grey one seemed a little shady, the scarlet one reminded her of Pinkie Pie. That stallion was grinning wide and couldn’t help but giggle about something, just like the party pony of Ponyville.
“Yeek, that’s a long trip. Would you like a cracker or two?” The red and blue stallion offered her a box full of some animal shaped crackers. The smelled like graham crackers and Rainbow’s stomach couldn’t help herself. Dash reached into the box and grabbed a cracker shaped like a walrus.
“Thanks.” And she tossed it into the air. Twilight came out of the bathroom and saw the shady stallions. She knew something bad was about to happen. The cracker landed in Dash's mouth, and she began to chew it.
“No Rainbow Don’t-“ Right as she tried to stop Rainbow, the Pegasus swallowed the cracker. “-eat the cracker.” Twilight finished.
Already the stallions were laughing their flanks off, and Dash couldn’t tell why. She reached for another cracker and then she found out why Twilight tried to stop her.
Her flank dropped to the floor with quite a weight. Her back legs widened and flattened before connecting together. Her front half grew large and her head became very wide. Her face scrunched into a different shape, her incisors lengthened by a foot, and her front legs turned into flippers. Rainbow Dash soon became a large, cyan blue, rainbow colored mane…walrus.
The two stallions had never laughed as hard in their entire laughs. Dash was twice the size of Twilight and was still confused as to what she had just transformed into.
“What happened Twilight? What happened to me? Can you fix it?” Rainbow said, however, no one understood her. Not only did it turn her into a walrus on the outside, but it replaced her voice with the typical moans and groans of a real walrus. Whenever she talked, she made loud dense and annoying sounds that only made the pranksters laugh even harder than they already were.
“Party Bash, Reinert, give Dash the pony cracker right now.” Twilight ordered them. Both tricksters recognized the voice they were ordered by and their laughter ceased when the saw Dash’s companion.
“TWILIGHT SPARKLE!?” They shouted shocked at her presence. Suddenly their mood change from this was the funniest thing ever, to we’re screwed. “We’re so sorry Twilight, please don’t prank us, we’re sorry, here take the cracker, please just don’t prank us.” The two pleaded in pure terror. Twilight grabbed the box from them and found the one shaped like a pony.
“Here Rainbow, eat this one. This’ll fix you up.” The unicorn tossed it up to Rainbow’s mouth. She caught it and ate it as quickly as possible. Rainbow’s body shook a little and she shrank back to her original size in a second and the rest of her body changed back as well. Rainbow hopped around the unicorn so thankful to be back to what she is supposed to be.
“Thanks Twilight, I don’t want to ever be a walrus again.” Dash hugged her friend and noticed the two stallions had run off. They had run in fear, of Twilight? That, needless to say, didn’t seem to make much sense to the Pegasus. “Hey Twilight, why were those guys scared of you?”
“Oh them, uh, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” The unicorn replied.
“I just got turned into a giant walrus, so try me.” Rainbow was really determined to see what made them so scared.
“Well, someone obviously invented the animal crackers you just ate, and in this school somepony like that would have their named passed around as the best prankster of the school.”
“Wait are you saying…you made the crackers? Wow that is the best prank ever!” Rainbow was so amazed to learn her book worm friend was such a good prankster. Dash had never heard of animal crackers like those, but she’s been friends a long time with the very pony that made them and had no idea. “When do you become a prankster?”
“When I came here to the science wing, I was always able to see all of the pranks the ponies would pull on each other, so one day I decided to make my own.” Twilight said sounding absolutely pleased with herself. Dash would be too.
To be the creator of something that amazingly complex but also hilarious would be awesome. Thinking on it now, Rainbow made a mental note to herself. “Never accept animal crackers from Twilight again.”
“Come on Rainbow, we’re going to be late.” The two ponies walked quickly down the remaining length of the hall and hopped their way up the stairs. Step by step up to the second floor on the circular stairway. They turned to their right and saw room 23 of the science wing, with a large sign out front labeled “Biology Presentation Here”. They walked up to the door and gave it a quick push open into the classroom.
