Twilight's run out of ideas for new inventions, so she invents something to fix that.

No one said the machine would produce good ideas.

I do appreciate a good Futurama reference and as an opening, excellent!

Poor SciTwi, she does try so hard. n_n

It was at this point that Sunset noticed Twilight's other hand was clutching a can of beans.

Why do I have a sudden urge to run away? she pondered. "So uh... what's the invention this time?"

As a person confused by that specific universe of stories, I would have an urge to run away too.

Sunset gave her a look. "You flooded the entire school with toilet water and cherry filling. I still have nightmares."

That's.. unexpected, to say the least.

"This is how I relax!"

Of course it is :rainbowlaugh:

"Simple!" Twilight replied. "Just place your can in here, and then load four explosive rifle blanks into here..."

Excuse me?

"Never. Again."

I want to know the context.

"This is how I relax!"

:twilightsmile: Preach it, other me!

Sunset smiled at her. "It's perfect."

Twilight blushed.

Oh get a room you two.

It was at this point that Sunset noticed Twilight's other hand was clutching a can of beans.

At first I misread this as “a can of bees” and that really had me worried.

"I give you," Twilight said, "The Turbo Legs!"

That one’s actually not so bad, as long as you keep it away from evil penguins.

"Feast your eyes on the Bacon Cookinator!" she said, gesturing to her invention.

Missed opportunity to turn Twilight into Doofenshmirtz who would get Angel as her nemesis

The instant I saw the words “Can-Opener”, I immediately thought of your own story, Ruin.

Also, I do love me a good Noodle Incident, especially when itʼs combined with a Brick Joke.

Excellent little slice of silliness. Best of Comedy welcomes you, The Inspiration Machine!

Also, who does your cover arts? I really like ʼem. The simplistic, 2D designs work really well.

I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!

That’s a compliment to me, then, as I make my covers myself :p

Twiggles, sometimes the best of intentions don't lead to good results. Be grateful that Sunset's there to be your anchor.

I like ʼem. Keep creatinʼ, RB_!

All you really need to know is that it's supposed to be soybeans and not baked beans. Therefore, the author clearly doesn't want to think about the series either. :pinkiecrazy:

Lovely work. It’s hard being a young mad scientist. It’s hard and no one understands. But at least friends can provide some much needed perspective. Thank you for a delightful montage of madness.

This was a delight. And as the unofficial representative of the BCU authors collective, we thank you for the shoutout.

Yay for Sci-Twi!

"Simple!" Twilight replied. "Just place your can in here, and then load four explosive rifle blanks into here..."

not very useful but I want it anyway.

"It's the Autoplumber-Slash-Baker 4000! "

send it to Crystal Prep.:pinkiecrazy:

Man I hope Twilight is paying for some of Sunsets gas for all the trips to her house.

"Yeah. It's, like, one of the few things that actually microwaves well. I do it all the time."

Kinda confused about Sunset eating bacon. Always assumed she wasn't much of a meat fan herself due to originally being a pony.

Good and funny story though.

Now now, Rainbow doesn't like pie. :rainbowhuh:

11855420

weeeeeell technically horses eat meat all the time, so it isn't much of a surprise for ponies to do it too (i'll never forget when i saw a horse eat a chick... poor thing)

now, specifically, Sunset Shimmer eating meat (if bacon can even be considered that, to begin with, is another conversation entirely, shit's mostly fat) did raise one of my eyebrows lol!

"Let's invent a thing inventor", said the thing inventor after being invented by a thing inventor.

First thing I thought of when reading the synopsis.
Then it started to sound a bit like Dr. Weird from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
And then what Rarity said at the end made me realize that this was a jab at AI.
Also felt like that episode Inspiration Manifestation.
Was a fun read! :twilightsmile:

Which Rainbow? The one that loves Rollercoasters or the one that is afraid of Rollercoasters? :rainbowderp:

No longer featured by EQD ?
What happened ??

Also, this is so in character for Sci-Twi :twilightsmile::twilightoops:

"So, you invented something that always tells you 'yes'?"

Twilight invented Yes Man.

Twilight groaned. "Is this about the Autoplumber-Slash-Baker 3000 again? That was a fluke!"

Sunset gave her a look. "You flooded the entire school with toilet water and cherry filling. I still have nightmares."

HAHAHA! Man, Canterlot High must have an incredible insurance policy to put up with such madness.

Good story on how "brilliance" doesn't correlate with good results.

Twilight opened her mouth. Closed it. Opened it again. "Well, no... ahem, not yet! I'm going to over spring break. But my calculations say it should be fine!"

Right... :ajbemused:

Sunset gave her a look. "You flooded the entire school with toilet water and cherry filling. I still have nightmares."

Oh... :twilightoops:

"This is how I relax!"

You need a new hobby. :duck:

"It's just a prototype."

Let's hope the final version isn't... :applejackunsure:

"...Oh. Yeah. That could, uh... be a problem."

Ya think! :pinkiecrazy:

"Simple!" Twilight replied. "Just place your can in here, and then load four explosive rifle blanks into here..."

Wait, what? :pinkiegasp:

"Walking the dog!"

I feel like she's lost her touch by now. :unsuresweetie:

To demonstrate, Twilight put two slices of bread into the thing and pulled down the lever. Sunset watched as they grew brown, then looked on in horror as the toast was dropped into a pair of spinning blades with some water and liquified.

Gross. :fluttershbad:

"Yeah. It's, like, one of the few things that actually microwaves well. I do it all the time."

Wait, sunset eats it!? :applejackconfused:

Sunset tackled her to the ground. She stared into the other girl’s eyes.

Some things never change. :ajsmug:

It’s the Yes-Man-inator…

11854533
I guess she would call him Agent A. And after her scheme backfires she would say “Curse you, Angel the Bunny!”…
