//------------------------------// // The Television Room // Story: Pinkie Pie's Chocolate Factory // by violet-heart13 //------------------------------// As Pinkie pressed a button, doors opened to show a glass elevator inside. " Why I never thought of this earlier? I will never know! But this is the best way to get around the factory!!" she said. Twilight looked at the many buttons and said, "Why do you need so many buttons in an elevator!? You can't have this many floors in here!!?" Pinkie looked at her in a challenging tone and said, "How would you know if you haven't seen one with as many floors?" Her quirkiness soon returned. "Plus... this elevator doesn't just go up and down. It goes sideways, longways, the ways of life and any other ways you can think of!" "So... press a button and you'll head to it?" Fluttershy asked. "Exactly! Who would like the honors of choosing our next room!?" Pinkie asked. Twilight immediately put her hoof up and looked at the wide variety of buttons. "Mint room: nah... too cooling. Marshmallow room: Rarity would be right at home there! Fruit room? Not for me..." she told herself. "Speaking of fruit... How is Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked. "Don't know..." Pinkie replied. Meanwhile, in the juicing room, Scootaloo kept rolling Blueberry Dash. "Don't worry Dash! Soon you'll be back into flying shape and not a fruit!" she said. Rainbow murmured, "Mmmmmmm! M mmm'm mmmm mm mmmmmm mm mmmmmmmm!!" (Finally! I can't feel my hooves or anything!!) Scoots rolled the blueberry into the XXXXL juicer and turned on the machine. After a few moments the juicer door opened and Rainbow waddled out with her cheeks still puffed up. "Dash!!" Scoots said as she hugged Rainbow. As soon as Scootaloo hugged her, she mouth spewed blueberry juice and her cheeks became no longer puffy. Scoots felt the juice gush out, making her flank area wet from blueberry juice. "Thanks... I really needed that..." Scoots said awkwardly. "And I really needed that juice out of my system!" Rainbow said. "Thanks for the help!" they then began to walk to the door Rainbow saying, "I can still taste the blueberry pie..." as they did. Back with the others... "I've got it! The Television Room!" Twilight said as she pressed the button. The elevator began to move to the room, passing other rooms as they went. When they eventually got to the TV room, the doors opened to show white, pure white. "Guys... before we go in put these on!" Pinkie said while handing out glasses that had a one way transparent plastic coloured with pink and white swirls. "It's for your eyes so you don't strain them..." she said as she put her own pair on. "This is a little something that I only just started working on." She began to walk into the room with the others following. "I thought, 'If TV can send an image though millions of little... stuffs... and rejoin them on the other end, why can't I do the same with candy and chocolate?'" Twilight looked at Fluttershy and starts mouthing, "Is she for real?" Pinkie continued, "Why can't I send candy or chocolate from here to the television, ready to eat?" She walked over to a panel of buttons. "That sounds impossible..." Fluttershy said. Twilight got a tiny bit temperamental when she said that, saying, "SOUNDS impossible!? Fluttershy, it IS impossible!! Pinkie, you know absolutely nothing about science!! First of all, there is a massive difference between waves and particles!! Second, it would take at LEAST 12 Sonic Rainbooms to transfer the energy in matter!!" Pinkie too got a little angry, "Alright, Twilight, I GET IT!!!!" she yelled at her, a smile soon coming back to her face. "I didn't understand a single word you said then..." Twilight then shut up and let Pinkie continue. "Now, how about a demonstration?" she asked. There was a large piece of chocolate sitting on a large pedestal. "The chocolate has to be big because, when you send the image it gets shrunk depending on what size a TV you have? It kinda works the same way." She then presses a button and the chocolate began to float until it disappeared in a flash of light. "It's gone...!" Fluttershy said as she saw it go. "Told ya Twilight!" Pinkie said. "Let's head to the TV across the room." They quick ran to the TV to see the chocolate coming into sight on the screen. "There you go! One bar of chocolate! Twilight, take it!" Pinkie told her. "You can't take what's not there... It's a picture of a TV screen..." she said. Pinkie looked at her and said, "Scaredy flank... Flutters... You take it!" Fluttershy stuttered as Pinkie looked at her. She then began to reach into the screen to grab the chocolate, actually putting her hoof in the screen as she did so! "By the princesses!" Twilight declared. When Fluttershy got the bar out she then opened it and took a bite in it. "It's fantastic..." she said while her mouth was full. "So, here's the scenario! Somepony is just siting around watching TV and a commercial comes on saying that these chocolates are the best in Equestria, and ask if they would like to try one! They then reach out and take it!" Pinkie explained. "Can you send other things using this? Say, animal feed?" Fluttershy asks. "Yeah, sure I could!" Pinkie replied. Twilight looked at the floor thinking until she looked up at Pinkie and said, "What about other ponies?" Pinkie looked confused. "I can but why would I? We aren't cannibals, we don't eat each other!" she said. Twilight stated, "But Pinkie Pie, what you've invented is a teleporter!! It can be used for greater uses other than chocolate and candy!!" Fluttershy tried to negotiate by saying, "Calm down Twi... I'm pretty sure Pinkie Pie knows what she's doing..." "NO SHE DOESN'T!!! SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING!!! SHE THINKS SHE'S A GENIUS, BUT SHE'S A LUNATIC!!!" Twilight yelled in a rage. "But I'm not!!" she said before she ran past both of them to the panel they were at a few moments ago. "Twi... Could you not press my button?" Pinkie asked before Twilight pressed the button and jumped to the pedestal. After a moment or 2 Twilight began floating, pulling of flips and pulling off funny shapes and stuff before she disappeared in a flash of light! "She's gone!" Fluttershy said, slightly panicky. Pinkie turned around to talk to her. "Let's go and check the TV and see what happens..." she said as she walked to the TV. "I just hope all of her makes it here..." "I'm sorry?" Fluttershy said as she heard that. "Well, sometimes only about half of the pieces make it all the way though." Pinkie replied. She then looked at Fluttershy and asked, "If you had to choose one half of her, what half would you pick?" Fluttershy looked at her with a bit of anger. "No need to act like that... It was only a question..." she then said. Pinkie then started to flick though the other channels to look for Twilight, until eventually she comes in clear. "Oh! There she is!" Pinkie said as she saw her friend. "Oh my goodness..." Fluttershy said as she saw Twilight, who was a bit small than before. A lot smaller in fact! Twilight then stepped out from the TV and said, "I told ya I was right!" in a really squeaky voice. "What the... What's with my voice!? Did I shrink!?" Twilight started to panic. "Yes you have! But at least you're completely unharmed!" Pinkie said. Fluttershy looked at Pinkie and said, "That's unharmed?" Twilight then started pleading, "Just put me back in the other way!!!" Pinkie told her, "There isn't another way... It's television, not telephone. There's a very big difference!" Twilight looked down at the floor as Pinkie said, "I think I read somewhere that ponies that have been shrunk are more stretchy. I'VE GOT IT! WELL PUT HER IN THE TAFFY PULLER!!!" Twilight then looked up at Pinkie and said, "TAFFY PULLER!!!?" Pinkie then picked up the tiny Twilight and walked over to a little slot that says "to the taffy puller" on it. She then opens the slot puts Twilight in it and she starts falling into who knows where! Fluttershy then looked at Pinkie and she said, "I hope she'll be okay..." Pinkie replied, "She will be. I've got the taffy puller on automatic so she should be fine! Skinny, but fine!" Pinkie then walks to the door they came in, while saying, "On with the tour!"
