"Girls, girls get up!"
Trixie and Sunset sit up in there cribs rubbing there eyes of sleep and looked out the bars to stare at an obviously excited Twilight Sparkle. She was hoping around with the biggest smile either of them has ever seen that could have even rivaled Pinkie's.
"Girls do you know what today is!" Twilight said excitedly.
Trixie shrugged. "We dun know Twiwight, what day is it?" she asked.
"Today is a day," With a flash of her horn, a white lab coat with the words 'I Love Science.' on the back appeared on Twilight along with a pair of safety goggles. "FOR SCIENCE!"
"Experimentation Day!" both the little fillies said climbing onto the side of there cribs.
Twilight smiled and picked up both the foals and lifted them high above her head forcing out a few giggles out the girls. "That's right, this day is going to be dedicated to experimenting all day. Now let's go!" Twilight said before flying downstairs with the foals on her back.
When they reached downstairs Twilight sat Trixie and Sunset on the floor and with a flare of her horn two small lab coats appeared on them both along with safety goggles. "Okay girls, what do you want to test first?"
They all knew the rules of Experimentation Day, you could work in a group or by yourself and you could invite a friend to help. This day was everypony's in the library's favorite day especially Twilight's it was fun and educational. It was such an event that even Professor Luna gave a one hundred percent approval. But wait somepony was missing?
"Twiwight where's Spike?" Sunset asked.
"He went out to find something to experiment on." Twilight replied.
****
Spike was walking around Ponyville Park looking for what he could do for Experimentation Day (Instead of being tested on like other times by Trixie and Sunset), he kept walking until suddenly a opossum came crawling out a bush right in front of him. The possum took one look at the baby dragon and instantly had a fake heart attack falling over a pretending to be dead.
Spike knew very well that the creature wasn't dead and was about to move on till he suddenly got an idea and grin. Looking around he spotted a stick next to him and picking it up he looked at the opossum. "I wonder how long you can stand being poked until you stop faking being dead?" Spike said to the opossum if he could here him. "Well only one way to find out..."
Spike raised the stick over his head. "...FOR SIENCE!"
Spike sat on the ground with his legs folded Indian style and started poking the side of the poor animal with his stick.

Back at the library basement Twilight and the foals were already in the process of inventing and tinkering. Twilight walked up behind Trixie, looking past her at the beakers and test tubes filled with ice blue liquids.
"What are you doing Trixie?"
Trixie looked behind her at Twilight. "Hey Mommy, I'm working on Cwyogenics making a freeze way." she said then looking back at the beakers she lifted one filled with the ice blue liquid into another. "If this works I can make it snow anywhewe, even in the middle of summew."
"Ooo, that sounds like it could be fun. Can I help you with anything?"
"Could you get me some ice pwease?" Trixie asked.
"Okay, I'll go upstairs and get you some ice." Twilight said then walking to the other side of the room she leaned down to Sunset. "And what are you working on Sunny?"
"I'm making a heat way." Sunset replied, floating a screw driver with her magic she started unscrewing the screws of the back of a microwave.
"Uh, is that the microwave from the kitchen Sunset?"
"Uh...Yeah." She said hesitantly.
"Sunset you can't use-"
Twilight cut off, when Sunset turned around and gave her The Stare. And I'm not talking about Fluttershy's Stare I mean the cute adorable cute irresistible stare only the cutest of creatures can make. Sadly for Twi, Sunset was one of those cute ones.
Twilight stared into those big green baby eyes, trying to resist but just couldn't look away and sighed in defeat, "Alright fine, you can have the microwave. Looks like I have to go shopping later. Do you need anything else?"
"Can I have the hair blower?"
Twilight walked upstairs while thinking of adding a new hair blower to the list of things to replace. Leaving Trixie and Sunset to there own devices for a while.
"Why would you make a heat way?" Trixie asked over to Sunny.
"Winter is just wound the cornew Twixie and I would like to stay warm."
"Well sorry to rain on your Sunny day, Sunset but when I'm done with my freeze way it's gonna be a cool afternoon."
"You think your invention is better then mine?" Sunset asked looking at Trixie with a menacing look.
Trixie smirked. "Maaaybe, but don't be to hard on youwself not everypony can be as smart as Twixie."
"My heat way is gonna burn you!" Sunset retorted.
"Oh yeah! My freeze way is gonna send you back to the ice age!"
"Oh Yeah?!"
"Yeah!"
The two bickered and through all sorts of insults at each other. Why are these two fighting you may ask, it might be good old sibling rivalry over each other or maybe it their own ego. Or better yet it could be what happened last week.
****
Last week on Experimentation Day, Trixie and Sunset worked together to make a mini rocket and were now testing it with their friends Onyx. Rainbow Dash and Lightning there to watch from behind their parents.
"Alright everypony count down!"
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
"Blast Off!"
Trixie hit the button and the rocket zoomed into the sky leaving smoke trails. The rocket went higher and higher up to the sky till suddenly. BOOM! The rocket exploded into millions of colors spreading across the sky like a sonic rainboom, the foals cheered loudly makings 'Ooo's' and 'Aw's' as they watched the pretty colors explode in the sky.
When the colors faded away the foals gathered around Trixie and Sunset praising and admiring their hard work.
"Wow, that was pwetty cool can you two do that again?!" Lighting asked.
"Sowwy but it takes a long time to make one of those things and we don't really feel wike making another." Trixie said.
"Oh well, still pretty cool though. You two are almost as smart as Twiwight." Rainbow complemented.
"Thanks," Sunset said then turned to Onyx. "what did you think Onyx?"
"I really liked the fiweworks girls it was amazing, I wish I could do stuff like that." I complemented.
"Weally?"
"Yeah, I'm not very smart but I happen to like science."
"Oh, then I bet you just feew stupid around Twixie and Sunset huh?" Lightning teased.
"No not at all," I said blushing a little while rubbing the back of my head. "I happen to really like smart ponies."
Trixie was then the one to blush. "S-so do you think smart ponies are...cute?" she asked.
I shrugged. "Sure, smart ponies are cute."
Sunset smiled as an idea came to her little head. "Onyx, how about you come to next weeks Experimentation Day to see our new inventions?" she asked.
I smiled. "Sure I would love to."
"Good, next time you come I'll show you something really cool." she said leaning closer to Onyx a little.
Trixie quickly caught onto what she was doing and ran in between Sunset and Onyx. "I'll show you something cool too, Onyx. And it will be better then Sunsets." she said squinting her eyes at her friend.
Sunset squinted back. "Oh really?!'
I looked back and forth at the two. "Uh...okay?"
****
"My invention is way better then yours by a long shot!" Trixie yelled.
"My heat ray is gonna melt you away!" Sunset retorted.
"We'll see about that!"
"Fine! May the best mare win!"
When Twilight came back they worked hours on their inventions planning and tinkering, took a little nap then went straight back to work on what will be their victory.
Twilight watched as the two worked hard on their inventions until suddenly she heard the door bell ring. Leaving them with there work Twilight went upstairs and to the door opening it she was greeted by Rarity with Onyx in the foal carrier.
"Hey Rarity you're early."
"Hello darling, I know I'm a bit early but I wasn't doing anything today and Onyx wanted to come see the girls." Rarity said looking back at her baby in the foal carrier. "Isn't that right sweetie?"
I replied by cooing and kicking my legs.
"That's fine Rarity, I understand, come on in the girls are still working." Twilight said letting her friend in.
"Thank you darling, where's Spike?" The fashion mare asked not seeing her favorite dragon in the room.
"He's out probably doing his own experiment for the day he should be back soon."
"Twilight."
They both look back at the door to see Spike walk in covered in scratch and teeth marks and collapse on the floor. Twilight quickly ran over to him bending down she cradled his head in her hooves.
"SPIKE! What happened to you?!"
"I-I don't know? The possum, DON'T POKE THE POSSUM!!"
****
Back at the park Spike was still poking the Opossum that was laying in front of him with a stick not realizing he was being watched from a bush by a raccoon. The raccoon ran away into a hollowed out tree and ran down tunneled out halls of the oak. The raccoon ran down these tunnels until it reached it destination a room filled with other park animals squeaking and yelling.
Mice, birds, squirrels and raccoons. The raccoon ran to the end of the room towards a squirrel that was standing on a small stage. He leaned on the squirrel whispering something in his ear.
The squirrel scowled and looked at the other animal. "My brothers, I just got word that another one of us is in trouble right now and needs our help! Mr. Opossum is being tortured by some purple creature, who here is brave enough to join me to free our brother!"
Every animal in the room cheered and they all ran out of the room and down the hall and out the tree.
Spike was to busy poking the possum he didn't realize the big group of animals running towards him. When he notice something that sounded like angry chattering behind him Spike looks back just in time to see the wave of angry animals coming at him.
"OH MY CELESTIAAAAAAAAAA!"
****
After laying Spike in his basket to rest, Twilight and Rarity went down to the basement to see if Trixie and Sunset where done with their inventions.
"Twilight! Twilight!" the two unicorn fillies called crawling up to Twilights legs.
Twilight looks down at them. "What is it girls?"
"We're done with ouw inventions."
They both lifted up their devices. Sunset's a hair dryer with wires sticking out places and Trixie's an ice blue water gun with tubes and flashing lights around it.
"Alright if your ready, LET THE TEST BEGIN!" Twilight yelled then with a flash of her horn two targets appeared in the room.
I got out of the foal carrier and got down on the floor and crawled up to my friends. "Hey girls."
Trixie looks at me. "Hey Onyx, you're just in time to watch me and my amazing fweeze way." she said holding her invention up.
"Don't bothew with her Onyx, my heat way is way cooler." Sunset retorted.
"I'll watch both of you, I bet your inventions are gonna be really cool."
Rarity walked over to me and picked me up. "Come on Onyx, Twilight says we have to get behind the safety zone." she said as she walked over behind a blaster shield along with Twilight.
"Alright you two you may begin when ready."
Sunset was the first to step up. She positioned her heat ray with her magic targeting for the target marker and flipping the switch a red beam of light shot out hitting the target and burning a hole right through.
"Alright that looked like a successful test to me. It's your turn now Trixie."
Trixie stepped closer and targeting the last target she pulled the trigger on the water gun and a beam of ice blue light shot at the target freezing the whole thing in a block of ice then the target fell over and smashed into millions of pieces.
Twilight walked over to them with a smile. "Okay girls, that went excellent. Congratulations, a perfect test!" she said happily.
"Tank you Twiwight, but could you tell us who's was bettew?" Trixie asked.
"Girls you know this isn't a contest, this day is all about education and discovery."
They both ignored her and ran up to Onyx.
"Who do you think is better Onyx?" Sunset asked.
I replied. "I think you were both pwetty good."
"HA! See he knows I'm bettew then you!" Trixie said.
"I never said that."
"He said you where pwetty good, obviouswy he thinks my invention is better.
"I said both of you were pwetty good!"
"Oh Yeah, well take this!"
Sunset pointed her heat ray at Trixie and fired of blast. Trixie jumped out of the way the beam flying past her and hitting a table behind her turning it to ash. Trixie returned fire, firing her freeze ray at Sunset who barely had time to dodge it before it flew behind her and towards the staircase.
Just at that moment Spike was coming down the stairs. "Hey guys what's going on-" he was cut of when the stray freeze beam hit him trapping him in ice. "Not again."
"Girls! You stop fighting right now!" Twilight yelled before her and Rarity were both hit by a stray freeze blast.
The two fought firing off their inventions at each other. Trixie was hiding behind a table with her Freeze ray, while Sunset hid behind the frozen Spike with her heat ray.
Growing tired of this, I took aim fired my laser vision at Trixie's freeze ray melting it to nothing in her magic. Then I aimed at Sunset and using my ice breath I froze her heat ray and it fell to the ground and shattered to pieces.
They both looked at me in shock. "Onyx what awe you doing?!" Trixie yelled.
"You two stop fighting wight now!" I yell back.
"Why should we!?" Sunset asked.
I frowned. "Cause you're sisters, you should wove each other not trying to knock the other off...how would you feew if one of you got hurt?"
They looked at each other then bowed there head.
"I don't know what's going on but can't you wook past yoursewves and forgive each other?
"...Otay Onyx, we'll make up," Sunset said then crawled over next to Trixie. "I'm sowwy."
"I'm sowwy too." Trixie said then spread out her arms, "Fwiends?"
"Fwiends."
They both hugged each other. They stayed like that for a few minutes then let go and looked at the frozen adults.
"So what do we do about them?" Trixie asked.
"I would say thaw them out, but for your safety I think we should leave them for a few minutes." I reply.
"Good idea."
"Anypony wanna go upstairs and pway?" Sunset said.
"Yeah!"
****
Back at the park the animals surrounded the reunited Opossum family as the wife and kids hugged their returned father possum. Then the leader the squirrel walked up to them and the father looked up at him.
"Thank you for coming for me, my lord. I thought I would truly die this day from the dragons relentless poking." the possum said.
"You are welcome my friend." the squirrel said then looked at the other animals. "Now my brothers let us go to my friend Angel's place and ask his friend Fluttershy FOR KIBEL!!
The animals cheered and started marching off for Fluttershy's for a meal fit for a beast.
