Spike presses the button. He shouldn't have pressed the button.

"Wow...!" Sunny Starscout grinned wide as she sauntered through the rustic wooden domain. "Your house is full of so much cool stuff, Izzy! Where'd you find the time to craft it all?!"

"Well, some of it I just find lying around in the dirt!" Izzy Moonbow exclaimed. She reached her forelimb deep into a pile of partially-glittered junk and pulled out a tall metal cylinder. "Like this, for example!"

"Ooooh! Shiny!" Pipp Petals leaned in, eyes sparkling.

Zipp hovered lower on flapping wings, squinting. "Just what in the heck is it??"

"I'unno." Izzy shrugged, gazing at her reflection in the red dais. "A water heater or something."

Pipp reached forward and pressed the object's black button with a well-manicured hoof.

Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick.

Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick.

All of the ponies' muzzles scrunched in confusion.

"Huh..." Zipp shrugged in mid-air. "Must be busted."

"Pffft. Probably." Izzy tossed the item over her flank. Crash! "Anyways, who's for pizza?!?"

"Ooooh! Pizza!" Pipp and Sunny chanted in unison.

Hitch Trailblazer zoomed into view, existing. "I love pizza!"

"I know just the place!" Izzy led the stampede out the front door to her house. "Onwarrrrd!"

"Wooohooo!"

"Yeah!!"

"Yaaaaay pizza!"

As the door slammed behind them...

...the metal device lay sideways in the corner of the room, settled between a blue-painted lawn flamingo and an empty cat carrier bespeckled with rhinestones.

Whirrrrrrrrr-SCHLUMP!

One ring shrank into the base, which began glowing with a faint crimson hue.

Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick.

Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick.

That was pretty silly. I couldn't stop smiling, but I also had a sickening feeling in my gut for Spike. Good job!

:facehoof: Spike didn't know squat or sit...
:derpytongue2:SCHLUMP
:trollestia: and I still did nothing even after retirement...

He forgot the Starswirl Solution - toss it into an alternate dimension and let the locals deal with it.

Wow, I'm continuously surprised by how closely my interests overlap sometimes.
I can never escape r/twobestfriendsplay.

Damn, what a great analogy for [insert X-risk here]

He pushed the button and HARVEY CTHULHU ESCAPED... and destroyed the universe. The end!

Well, this is the most plausible explanation I’ve heard for the transition to G5 so far.

So THAT’S how the Equestrian fertilizer hit the Friendship air conditioning to produce the world of Gen 5! That’s the problems with buttons, they’re so jolly and candy-like, you just can’t resist!

(blinks eyes very confusedly)
huh...

Some humans ponies dragons would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry

Well, at least it wasn’t a History Eraser Button. There’s still a universe left afterwards.

Somehow one of the more feasible G5 origin fics I’ve read. Thank you for the delightful madness.

So...Douglas Adams actually had that scroll ghostwritten...using the Guide's guide...

And the sparkly thing was stolen from the N.S.E.A Protector and repurposed as a confinement device...by Dexter to get rid of Dee-Dee...

Man, I love this stuff; if only to explain G5...

And so G% was wiped out as well. I love stories with a happy ending! :pinkiecrazy:

What? I don’t get it

Shouldn't have pressed the button, man.

This is so familiar. I can't place why.

This has been said in the comments before, but I don't care:

This is one of the best explanations I've ever read as to how G4 became G5.

Let's hope that G6 doesn't shrink a massive continent's worth of ponies (and other creatures) down to three small cities.

Was that a Monty Python sketch? I once saw a cartoon where two guys leave a giant button on a planet. The idea (I think) was that if intelligent life ever developed on that planet, somebody would eventually find the button and press it, causing the planet to blow up.

You never cease to amaze me, short.
