Part 1, Interlude: Plan

"Starlight, are you sure this is a good idea?"

"C'mon, Twilight! Imagine the possibilities! Flim and Flam are taking over with those robot things. Not that it's a bad thing, but what if we didn't need machines? What if we had ALICORNS instead? Hundreds of alicorns, all perfectly happy to help us do everyday tasks!"

"But Starlight... I-I'd have to ask Celestia. This is slavery you're talking about."

"It's not slavery if they like working for us. You're your own princess, Twilight! You never see Cadence going to them whenever she has a plan! What we need is independence. This could WORK."

"..."

"Come on, Twi. Creating a pony from scratch, how hard could it be? Ponies do it all the time, how do you think you popped up? And even if we don't use impregnation, we could make a homunculus! Those things used to be all over the place back when Starswirl was around. We could reinvent the homunculus to carry ALL traits of ALL races of pony."

"..."

"An artificial alicorn, Twilight. And you could be the one to create it. WE could be the ones to create it."

"I... I'll think about it. Okay?"
