//------------------------------// // chapte 1:discovering the internet // Story: Ponies, victims of the internet. // by chinchilla warrior //------------------------------// It was a normal day in canterlot. The streets were busy with ponies selling fresh produce and canterlot’s most elite and important ponies hurried of to a fancy party or a new art gallery. Twilight noticed these and the many other small things she loved about canterlot. The architecture,the smell coming from the food vendors’ carts,and most importantly the castle. Its expertly designed towers topped with swirling roofs that seemed to pierce the sky in a majestic fusion of color and architecture. “ Oh there you are Twilight!” Twilight was snapped back into reality by the soft and gentle yet commanding voice. Sh turned to see the tall sun goddess standing a few feet away from her.” Oh sorry princess!” the purple mare replied slightly embarrassed.”I was just admiring the architecture again.” “Oh Twilight my faithful student you always were the one to enjoy such things. Anyway shall we begin our lessons?” Twilight had forgotten the reason she was in canterlot. She quickly remembered that she was here to get private lessons on some of the more advanced spells in the archive. “ oh OH! Yes of course princess! Should we go to the castle now?” “Oh of course my prized pupil! Come follow me.” As Princess Celestia led Twilight through canterlot Twilight couldn’t help but wonder what kind of spells she would learn! Maybe an advanced summoning spell, or maybe even that seduction spell spike’s been begging her to learn for Rarity. She giggled at his desperate attempts to get with her. ”Here we are!” twilight had been daydreaming so much she hadn't realized she had gone into the castle and was now standing in front of Celestia’s massive personal library! “Now twilight you may choose any spell in my library and i will teach it to you!”Twilight was overcome with joy! There was so many choices she didn’t now where to start! Then suddenly she say something from the corner of her eye. it looked like a magazine of some sort but, and fist she couldn’t make out what was on the cover. Then she realized what it was and she was overcome with shock,disgust,and confusion! ”PRINCESS WHAT IS THAT!”the purple mare pointed a horrified hoof and the dirty magazine. ”What are you shouting-”her sentence was stopped short when she saw what her student pointed at. Her mouth dropped and she blushed as she quickly shoved the magazine behind her. ”I uh....uh ..uh ...it...was..LUNA’S...thats right she must have left in here!”she said with a fake laugh. “uh I don’t think that was Lun-” “QUICK LOOK OVER THERE” Celestia interrupted pointing a hoof in the opposite direction. “What are pointing-”Twilight stopped when she saw it. It was magnificent. A shining silver box of pure technology. Her mouth was wide open as her brain raced with millions of way she could study and learn about such a marvelous piece of technology. ”P-P-Princess what is THAT!” she said pointing to the highly advanced mechanical box. “Oh that's a computer it can go on the Internet. ” Celestia replied trying to hide her “magazines”. “ The Internet is the largest collection of information in the world.” When these words reached Twilight’s hears her eyes grew wide and her knees wobbly. “Can I-can I have it?” Twilight asked the princess not taking her eyes off the mechanical marvel. “Sure,sure we’ll just have to reschedule-” She stopped mid sentence when she realized Twilight was already outside of the castle and galloping towards her home. “ wait a minute” Celestia thought to herself. “that computer has all of my......OH GOD!” she rushed to the window and yelled “ TWILIGHT, GET BACK HERE WITH MY PORN! ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight rushed by everypony in Ponyville not bothering to say anything as she was much to excited to talk to anypony, including a very distraughted Rarity who was carrying several shopping bags. As twilight hurried passed her it knocked Rarity of balence sending her toppling down to the dirt road causing her hair to get tangled in a dirty mess. As Rarity looked up to say something she was silenced has a avalanche of bags burried her beneath a pile of cloths, sewing threads, and a very heavy metal sewing machine that landed square on the top of her head. Twilight was to excited to slow down and apologize and in a few moments was hurrying through the front door of the library. " SPIKE! Spike where are you?" Twilight called out looking for her number one assistant. As she came upstairs she saw Spike sprawled out on his bed with a stream of drool trinkling down from his mouth to his chin. Twilight could faintley hear mumbled words coming from the snoozing dragon in between loud snores. No doubt he's having another "wet dream" about rarity, twilight thought to herself. Twilight lightly kicked him in his side. " Wake up you perverted dragon" Twilight said loud enough to wake up Spike who was annoyed to have been woken up from his most vivid dream about rarity. " Geez Twilight! Did you realy have to kick me?' " Sorry Spike but i need your help setting this up." Twilight said as her horn started to glow with a faint purple light and levitated the heavy computer and an assortment of wires and cables from her saddle bags. Spike sat there with a blank expression on his face as he tried to comprehend what was happening as the wires and cables flew through the air connecting to the wall and the back of the computer in a seemingly random way. " And how am i gonna help with that?" Spike said still with a blank expression. Twilight looked at him and sighed, " On second thought why don't you go round up the others. They'll want to be here for this." " Now THAT I can handle! " Spike replied looking relived after being given this easier task. As he exited the room Twilight felt relieved in a way that she could be left alone for this task. Spike has always been a handful when it came to chores. He always tried his best but he was just so clumsy! Whether it was a book burned by a sneeze or forgetting to make a checklist, he always seemed to find new ways to mess up. Twilight once tried to raise his intellegence with a spell ,but it seemed to only further his stupidity.Twilight then got lost in her own thoughts and was only snapped back into reality when she heard the library door swing open as spike entered the room followed by Pinkie Pie,Applejack,Rarity,Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. " Why did you ever call us here" Rarity said obviously upset about what happened earlier. Twilight straighted up and faced her guests. "I'm glad you asked Rarity! This Is an invention I picked up from Princess Celestia. It's supposed to be able to connect to a source of almost infinite knowledge!" " Well shoot Twi that sounds mighty impressive." Applejack said looking over the fancy device. " Yes, I even set it up in this closet so we could each take turns using it and have our privacy. Now all we need to do is decide who goes first. I think the easiest way-" " Well i think I should go first considering ONE of us dropped a sewing machine on my head" Rarity interuppted. Twilight blushed as she remembered what had happened earlier that day. " Well i guess thats okay just go in there and press the big button and click the icon on the screen to begin 'surfing' the internet." Rarity walked in and did what Twilight had told her to. Has she clicked the icon on the screen nothing could prepare her or any of the others for what was to come and has rarity looked through the seemingly endless list of websites she saw one that caught her eye. A seemingly harmless site with a weird little name. It was called rule34.paheal.net.
