Okay... so... there's a bold... italic? Underline, something with a line crossing an S, and a T with two arrows... colors.. yeah, I'll need to get used to this. Anyways, this is the 'story' about how I can visit the Internet! Oh.. maybe I should change the chapter name from Thanking the Egghead, to Lyra's on the Internet.. no, change that, too. You know, there's quite a lot of things on here... I'll be occupied for years!
Just my average day. Wake up, go to the bathroom, brush my mane, brush my teeth, do whatever else I do in there, have breakfast with Bon Bon, and do absolutely nothing afterwards. Well, unless you count the fact I roam around Equestria for a bit, hangout with Bonnie, and do some shopping from time to time, although these things probably don't interest anypony/anyone. But today, I visited Twilight for some more things on humans. Here's how my day went.
"Bon Bon!" I was at the door, with my bag on, ready to leave to check if Twilight had anything on humans yet.
"Yeah?"
"I'm just going to go see Twilight, okay?"
"Go right ahead. But don't take too long, I have some things planned for us." I started to walk towards Twilight's old library, but quickly realized I was going to the wrong place. I turned around and bumped into Roseluck, as probably all the 'bronies' (that's what you guys are called, right?) know.
"Hey Lyra, where are you going?"
"Oh, just going to visit Twilight for some more things on humans."
"Again!? What is it with you and humans?"
"Hey, you can't judge them if you haven't read about 'em or anything."
"Whatever.. see ya around." Roseluck waved me off. That's actually what Roseluck talks like, for all those thinking this isn't right. I arrived at Twilight's castle doors, and knocked. Twilight answered the door.
"Oh hey Lyra, what's up?"
"Got anything new on humans?"
"No." Twilight replied, annoyed.
"Aw..." I turned back, ready to leave. "Notify me when there's something."
"And when I say no, it's because I'm annoyed with your human obsession, and annoyed with that you come almost every single day to check if there's anything I have!"
"The town library has nothing left, there is no other source, and it's not an obsession!"
"If I give you something, will you promise to stop checking daily?"
"Okay, I'll check in weekly."
"Clearly, you don't get it. I give you something now, and then you never ask for any more human related things, okay?" She said she didn't have anything, and now she's saying that she does.
"No, I need to-" Beside Twilight was a bag floating, with all I could see, containing a book, and a few more items. I knew this was somehow related to humans. "Deal." I grabbed the bag and galloped home, eager to see what was in the bag. "Thanks Twilight!"
When I arrived home, I quickly opened the bag. The books cover was 'Mythology or Reality?'. "YES YES YES YES!" I hugged the book, which seems odd, although my love for humans isn't strange enough for everypony.
"Don't tell me you have another-"
"Book!!" I exclaimed.
"Great, now you're going to be buried into that book for over 3 weeks."
"No, I won't be reading or anything the whole time."
"You say that..." I dug through the bag to find a weird square , with a shiny surface, and some odd buttons on it. It catch my interest. How did I not know what that was? All the books didn't contain anything similar to this. I pressed the button on the front, leading to nothing. I then pushed the button at the right side, or what I thought was.
The weird object's shiny surface somehow projected images, and then showing a picture that had letters showing, Please select language. Beside it, was a word I recognized from humans. It said English, with an arrow pointing down beside it. I was clueless to what to do. Maybe I should leave it alone.. wait, no, this is something related to humans, and it's also really odd.
I touched the surface, and did nothing. I touched the rest of the buttons, which one made the screen change to black. I touched the button that did it again, and it displayed the images from before. I thought there was maybe a manual or something on it, so I searched the bag once more. I found a pamphlet. The cover read, Notes I've taken of my inventions and findings. I opened the pamphlet to the first page.
I did it! I finally did it! I made a phone! It's an exact smartphone, just like the ones I saw on Earth! "Wait this pony saw Earth!?"
"What?" Bon Bon heard me.
"Nothing." I continued to read on. Maybe I can contact Nikki now! Oh, thank god- um, Celestia, this is the greatest thing that ever happened to me! Okay, some notes to myself, so I don't ever wind up forgetting how to use this. Power button, right side. Home button, front-bottom. Volume buttons, left. Turn on the power, select English, and then input a passcode if wanted. Note to self: Passcode is Nikki. He loves humans too!? I curled up on the carpet in the living room and continued reading.
Skip the email if also wanted. After this, it updates the phone, and you then have to wait for it to be done. It takes you to the home screen, where you swipe if you have no passcode, or input your passcode to access everything. There's a working camera, working internet, oddly, and there's also messaging... photo gallery.. settings. The internet is a dictionary and gaming place, also with instant messaging. Not just that, but there's also ponies on it! Humans know about us! Many things here, I have yet to learn. Wait, this pony might still be alive! But, who wrote this? I flipped through all the pages quickly, and found the back.
A name was written down, along with a location. Myth Wanderer, Griffinclaw. Now this note book seeks like a manual. "Griffinclaw... where's that? Maybe Twilight knows!" I talked to myself, receiving a puzzled look from Bon Bon. "I'm going back to Twilight again."
"Lyra! But you said we'd-"
"I know! I know! I'll stay with you later!" I galloped towards Twilight's Castle, once more.
Well, I will leave off here. I will write a new chapter after I finish pages 223- 445 of the book in the bag. There's even a Medusa in this book!
