“So this potion will make the user fly?” Looking at the flask, Sweetie tilted her head as the inventor nodded. After some persuading, she gave it a sip, and blinked as she suddenly began to float. Looking at the potion, Sweetie burped, the effect fading, and returned to standing.
“So any way to stop the side effect?” Holding out the flask with her magic, Sweetie watched as the scientist shook his head sadly. Walking over to his notes, Sweetie listened in as he explained in great detail just how his potion worked.
“So, we magically infuse this soda water with-” Listening to the scientist, Sweetie quietly took notes. If her plan was to succeed, she had to make note of every detail. Especially since this was Thursday, and the inventor was publishing his invention tomorrow. It would fail, as people wouldn’t risk trying it, but Sweetie had the means to change that.
“So why did you use an age changing spell on it?” The scientist seemed shocked at Sweetie’s answer.
“Wow, you’ve actually been listening. Well you see, by the time the magic has finished working on the soda water, it would be flat and lose fifty percent of its productivity-” As the scientist spoke, Sweetie made note of every detail. Thinking on everything, she had to make sure she understood his invention just as well as he did.
“-And that’s essentially how I make it, any questions?” The scientist was thrilled to have one so young interested. He was so thrilled, he even let her take a copy of his notes. After all, he was releasing it tomorrow. Of course, he kept some notes sealed away, it wasn’t like the filly would steal them.
“Thank you so much, that’s everything.” Giving a smile, Sweetie trotted away without another word. The next morning, the inventor would find his notes stolen, but nothing else touched.
