The sun was quickly setting in Ponyville, and storm clouds were being moved in by the weather pegasi. The sun was behind storm clouds, making the day seem to set faster than it was actually moving. Something wasn't right in the town of talking ponies, but as of then, Pinkie Pie didn't care.
Pinkie was working overtime at the bakery, as tomorrow was Twilight's birthday. Twilight had spent many months with her friends that she forgot her own birthday. Luckily for her, Pinkie wasn't going to let that happen. The pink pony waited for what seemed like hours, until the oven beeped. The cupcakes were finally done, and then was the time for the purple icing and sprinkles to be placed on the cupcake. Pinkie was less hyperactive, having a long day attempting to keep Derpy away from the muffin display stand. As the last cupcake was glazed, Pinkie put the cupcakes into a safe, not about to let Derpy or anypony else get the cupcakes before the party.
Applejack tipped her hat and called it a day, for she and Rarity have finally finished decorating the barn for the party. Although they spent more time arguing over the decorations then actually working, they finally finished the barn for Twilight, knowing her, they already got the presents set up, all of them being either books or book sets. They weren't sure what Twilight would like, so they got a bunch of advanced magic books into those little baggies people give you when they're too lazy to decorate. Rarity dusted her dress off, waved goodbye to the hard-working pony, and trotted back to the beauty parlor.
Rainbow Dash attempted one last time to get Fluttershy to yell louder, but all Fluttershy was able to do was keep it a bit louder than a whisper. Rainbow Dash as finally done, knowing that Fluttershy would appreciate the help, and flew back to her house in the sky. Rainbow Dash was also done practicing some aerial flips and tricks for a certain friend's party, much to the dismay of some ponies trying to sleep.
Twilight was busy as ever studying animals and such, not knowing she had a birthday the next day. Twilight finished the book and placed it back on the shelf where it came from while Spike grabbed a midnight snack. Twilight was once again alone to herself, among many other books and Spike. She mostly liked it that way, but friendship rubbed off on her many times since she departed from Canterlot, to be with many other ponies on her quest given to her to make friends. As she rested in her bed she had a feeling that something was wrong, but she brushed it off and went to sleep.

I woke up with a startle, the alarm clock going off once again, but this time today was Saturday. Once again I threw my glasses on and and got up from bed. Tomorrow night was going to be the prom date for my school, Glensdale Middle school. I've never heard Glensdale in my life, ever. I think some idiot decided to make a school and made up the name at the last second. Anyways, I already worked up the nerve to ask my friend Bryanna on a date. Taylor got another girl, but the way he was rambling on about his date took me a while to figure out he asked out Amanda, another friend. I checked my closet for my tuxedo, which looked perfectly fine except for the fact it wasn't on the wire hanger thingy right. I quickly righted it and ran downstairs. I don't like teen girls who go on and on about how ugly they are on Facebook and expect attention, but believe it or not, I love getting 'dressy' to look like I care about my image. It took me around the age of 12 for me to wear a t-shirt in public.
Taylor on the other hand didn't really care for his polo shirts. I had an amusing time imagining a fashion girl such as Amanda seeing her date with a Polo shirt. I almost choked on my Pop-Tart when I remembered that Amanda was a bit of a control freak, who would most likely screw Taylor over in such a way that he would be crying blood by the end of the night. I made a mental note to give Taylor some sort of button down that didn't suck, but it didn't matter. His personality is something you can't change, and that would screw with Amanda the most. Of course, Bryanna nagged sometimes, but beggars can't be choosers. Hey, at least I'm not the dumb jock who aims for Cs.
My day went as planned, pester sister, check. Watch My Little Pony, check. Read some fanfiction, check. But something bothered me. I didn't have anything to contribute to any club or fandom I had the worst handwriting ever, and it was so bad that my grades dropped from how illegible it was. I could draw a bit (ironically), but it was mostly block characters. I started tracing ponies, and that helped, but not enough. I never tried to mix music, but I had a talent for tone, and I figured I could scrape some money up for software. Fanfiction was pretty average. I had a talent for creative writing, but I never figured out the thousand word minimum on FimFiction. I figured once I had the time I could make some stories or something. At this point I was as useful as a Cutie Mark Crusader, but the thought was amusing.
When night fell, I dashed to the computer and starting typing in word as I thought up some ideas for travel between dimensions. I was surprised that instead of solving famine or war, scientists have spent a metric ton of time on dimensional travel. That was totally fine by me, since I needed some solutions for my blueprint, which looked like lines and curves on a piece of paper. I based my design on the Stargate show, but so far I had no idea how it could work. So far I figured if we had some kind of I.D the machine could recognize, our atoms could be pitched like a baseball across galaxies or something.
I also had a blueprint for a miniature black hole (which had minimum pull), so I could stick my hand in. I quickly trashed the 'Stargate' blueprints at the sight of black holes actually leading to other dimensions and universes. Mini black holes have been discovered in particle accelerators everywhere. However, having low amounts of energy, black holes are just as fast as camera flashes. The only Large Hadron Collider in existence is in Switzerland, so that is ruled out. How I would be able to find out a way to travel to Equestria would be near impossible. Even if I did make a black hole, it would probably grow and/or send me into another space - one with no oxygen.
It would be one hell of a shot though.
