//------------------------------// // What's That? // Story: I Think I Summoned a Ponk. // by TheMajorTechie //------------------------------// Pinkie crawled up besides me as I did my homework. "Whaddya go there, Anon?" She began poking one of the various items on my desk, stopping only when I placed a hand on her hoof to move it aside. "It's just a thing, okay? I'm trying to finish this essay before tomorrow." "What's it about?" I sighed. "That's what I've been trying to figure out all this time, Pinkie. I have no idea what to write!"

I glanced over back towards Pinkie, who was now tugging at the cable behind my monitor. "That's a cable for my computer's screen. It's really important, so don't unplu--" Pinkie was already holding the unplugged cord in her hoof, but surprisingly, my monitor was still on and functioning. "Okay Pinkie, what is it?" "That's what I've been asking you." We quickly followed the cable, which led to, strangely, a strange hole in the wall. I guess there's no other way to figure out what it's for... so... Yeah. I quickly spliced the cable, and ran it through some cable sniffing programs. all I really got from those though were weird noises and static. I'm not sure at all about what it's supposed to be for. Maybe it's a magical cable that Twilight misplaced in her bathroom closet, which ended up worming it's way through the fabric of space and time, and ended up here! That's... oddly specific...
