//------------------------------// // Knowledge // Story: Pinkie bakes some brownies // by F1utt3rshy //------------------------------// Once Rainbow had gotten in close proximity to the Books and Branches library she landed and knocked on the door, spike still firmly in her grasp. "Huh" Twilight said to herself, confused as to why someone would be knocking when the library was public and pony's could just walk in.Twilight, after a moment of thought and more knocking, disregarded the idea and finally acknowledged the knocking and responded with a quick "just a minute". She then got of from her seat and walked up the stairs to her room and up to a full body mirror. After putting her mane into a more presentable fashion, she walked back down and went to the door. "Welcome to the Book and Branches Library" Twilight stated as she opened the door, as was her usual way of greeting a potential patron to her library, that is, until she got a better look at the pony in question. "Oh, hello Rainbow, what brings you here today, the new daring due doesn't come out until Friday"then twilight looked beside Rainbow to see Spike creating a bonfire of lawn flamingos and immediately knew something was wrong. Twilight, with much haste, pulled Rainbow and Spike into the library with her magic and quickly locked the doors and closed all the windows and then lead the two to the main lobby. She then forced rainbow down with her magic and began interrogating her "what happened to spike?" she asked not as much accusatory as worried, after all, even with the vast knowledge that the library and by extension her mind had, she had no clue what was wrong with her number one assistant, much like the poison oak incident, and that, to be completely honest, scared her. While she was waiting for a response, she began gathering up medical books and quickly sifting through them, looking for anything that could even possibly be the cause of Spike illness.After much looking and nary a answer from Rainbow, she let out an exasperated sigh and waited for the answer to the question she had asked, glaring all the while her anger growing by the minute, as well as her desperation. "Well" she said, not amused by the silence from one Rainbow Dash. "I ... uh ... I have no idea twilight, it must have been something he ate"she said, barely holding in a snicker. Twilight, not pleased with her reply, grabbed Spike as he was eating the complete guide to pickles:volume seven and then went into the basement of the Library, Rainbow following close behind. Once they had gotten down the stairs, she cast a light spell and set spike down and began looking through her science equipment and machines. Once she had found the machine she had wanted, she pulled it out into the open and started it up with a blast from her horn, she then walked over to where Spike was, currently occupied with flicking the light switches on and off, and gently grabbed him and placed him in the seat that was connected to the machine and strapped him in, making his escape futile, with all he straps and metal clamps holing him down.Meanwhile, Rainbow walked over to twilight and took a seat. "Hey Twilight, whats with all he fancy science stuff. I mean shouldn't you put Spike to bed of something if hes sick?" she asked, nonchalantly rubbing the back of her neck with one of her hoofs. "Im glad you asked Rainbow" Twilight said as she placed a cylinder like metal helmet, complete with all sorts of wires running down and around it, on Spikes head and continued, her voice very methodical and sciency."This" she motioned the machine with one of her hoofs"is a simple hart monitor combined with a molecular transfuser use to find any and all abnormality's in a subject on a atomic level.It then eradicate any bacteria and organisms not normally found in a pony that can be potentially dangerous. It also nullifys the effects of any drug that has entered a ponys bloodstream almost instantaneously. To put it in layponys terms, it finds the problem and beats the crud out of it. it really is a marvel of technology that i am proud to have in my collection of" she was about to continue her brain numbing lecture, until Rainbow interrupted her. "NEEEEERRD"Rainbow proclaimed, wearing a confused look on her face that was hiding the look of horror she had from twilight. Twilight facehoofed and turned towards the machine, building up a charge of magic needed to power the machine. She then turned back to Rainbow as the charge would take a few minutes. "So"she started, taking on a more serious tone of voice. "How did you find Spike?" "Well, I was out practicing some of my tricks when I heard rarity screaming so I rushed over to her place and saw Spike trying to eat her flank .... it was really weird, rarity seemed to somehow enjoy it which is sort of disturbing but hay, I don't judge, so then I try pulling him off but he was clamped on there good so I dug my hoofs into the ground and pulled with all my might and manged to pry him off her ... along with part of her cutie mark. I then grabbed him and quickly raced over here" Rainbow said, making it seem like she was the good guy. "Ah, well that's good ... is Rarity ok?"Twilight asked concern over her friends well being. "Yeah, she fainted though so i put her to bed" Rainbow said just as Twilight's charge spell finished and she prepared to unleash it on the machine "Well, here goes nothing" she unleash the charge into the machine and it starts up.
