Twilight Vs. iPod
"Okay, let's see what we got here." Twilight spoke to herself as she began to reach in the huge box and pull out gobs of packing peanuts.
After the horrible incident with the iPhone yesterday, Twilight Sparkle was determined to rise above it and attempt to conquer a device that was much more simple. She went out earlier this morning and bought an iPod at the new electronics store that was built next to Quills and Sofas. Fortunately, she needed to pick up some new quills as well while she was downtown. She saw that the iPod seemed much simpler than the iPhone and it was much easier to work. She still couldn't contemplate how Pinkie Pie, an earth pony of all ponies, could use an iPhone better than her.
In the empty and somewhat messier than usual library Twilight leaned down into the over-sized cardboard box. So over-sized in fact that it seemed to envelop half her body. Her flank hoisted in the air and wiggled as she dug through the box.
"Aha!" Twilight said loudly, at finding the huge manual for the iPod. She gripped what she was looking for in her magic and pulled it out of the box while pulling herself out of the mass of packing peanuts. Doing so caused many of them to be pulled out and scattered on the floor.
Twilight flinched at how messy her surrounding area became with the galore of shipping product. With a faint glow, she grabbed all of them with her magic and stuffed them into the cardboard box once more while still holding the large manual in the air.
"Honestly, why some ponies don't take things out of the shipping box first is beyond me," the young mare said out loud to no one in particular.
"Now, where was I..."
Twilight took a good, long look at the manual that she was levitating. It was leather bound, oddly enough. Twilight's eyes widened at what the title of the huge manual read.
How to work
Your MP3
Player
A basic guide by
Ms. Scratch
Twilight could feel her teeth begin to grind together.
"Ms. Scratch?" she asked angrily. "As in, Vinyl Scratch? The pony who wakes me up every single morning by blaring her stereo with that dubstep stuff!" Twilight yelled. "How wonderful! What could she possibly know about writing a manual, let alone a whole book that is as thick as a manual?! I particularly just love when she sticks her head out the window every morning and yells," Twilight ranted and geared up the goofiest cross-eyed expression she could muster.
"Awwww yeeeaaah! Gooood Moooorniiing Ponyville!" she ridiculously imitated Vinyl Scratch with her voice as deep as she could possibly get it.
Twilight scoffed.
"How ridiculous!" she said before tossing the book with her magic onto the wooden table in the center of the library. The lavender mare then trotted over to the box to get her iPod, her hooves making a clip-clop the whole way, which echoed throughout the empty library.
Reaching in the box with her magic she pulled out a long, slender pink container of some sort with the same logo that her late iPhone bore. The logo alone sent shivers down her spine after what happened yesterday. She chased Spike for hours, screaming at him to tell her how he unlocked his iPhone. Spike thought he was dead, for sure. Fortunately, after running him into a bookcase and knocking him unconscious for several minutes, Twilight apologized profusely for acting so horrible to her number one assistant, before offering to take him out for ice cream. Spike assumed that this was to help dull the concussion he received.
Gently levitating the container, she slowly took the lid off to reveal the shiny, pink device with a two and a half inch LCD display. Underneath the display there was a single purple circle that had four symbols. One said MENU, the other was a double arrow facing the right, another double arrow facing the left, and one she assumed meant play and pause. Twilight smiled at her relatively simple understanding of the iPod.
"This should be simple!" Twilight announced with a happy grin on her face. Then she scanned the device for the power button.
::Thirty Minutes Later...::
To say that Twilight was mad that she had to consult the manual would be an understatement. Twilight was furious that she was forced to read the manual due to not being able to even turn the power on for her new iPod.
"How am I even supposed to read these instructions knowing she wrote them?!" she yelled. Reluctantly, she glanced over the page in the power section of her manual.
'In order to get the wub from your new iPod, you're gunna have to turn on the power. This is like, a given, but yeah. In order to turn on your new epic device fore maximum wubage, you're gunna need to press down on the magic button. Now, the magic button is what happens to make all the awesome music on your iPod run as well. It also, has the feature to stop the wubage if you want, mid-song. But, I recommend you never stop the wubage, unless like, you gotta use the bathroom or somethin'. Now, the magic button is located underneath the song select button. This is mainly used for when you want some of my music to be rockin' your pony earholes. Why? Because bass cannon, that's why! Right under that baby will be where you'll find the magic button. For more info, look in the appendix of the manual.'
Twilight stood and stared at the manual, mouth agape in disbelief, her intelligent mind nearly fried by the words she just read.
"HOW IS THIS EVEN A THING?!" screamed Twilight at the top of her lungs. Twilight began to breath heavily.
"This actually passed Canterlot Publications and got made into a full manual?! This is the worst advice ever! How am I even supposed to understand what wubage means?! And an appendix?!" Twilight yelled, half in shock at the horrible manual and the other half being pure anger.
"I guess I'll try the appendix!" screamed the mare as she was once again one the brink of having one of her meltdowns.
Quickly she sifted through the levitated book with her magic until she found what she was looking for. Worrisome, she scanned the text, hoping it would better clarify her iPod.
'Greetings. I know that Vinyl can be a bit...odd, in her descriptions of your device. I was actually entirely against making this manual in the first place, but then I was swooned by talks of "Tavi I'll do the dishes without the wubs if you help me publish this manual, I swear." Honestly, I didn't even fully expect such dribble to be passed through publication but yet here I am, describing your device for you...being regretful...How is this my life?'
Twilight was a little more than freaked out by the obvious melancholy of Octavia as she began the Appendix of the manual. She continued to read down the page.
Play/Pause Button (Magic..button); This is the button on the bottom of the wheel of your iPod that allows you to turn its power on or off. Personally, I would leave it off and pick up a Violin or something similar...but that's just me...'
Twilight beamed with happiness.
"Finally! A clear answer!"
Twilight looked down at the iPod on the floor of the library that she gently placed there while levitating the manual above it. She gently pressed her hoof down on the Play/Pause button and the display lit up. At this point, the mare was beaming.
"I did it! It's on!" Twilight announced happily. She looked up at the manual once more and began to read Octavia's descriptions.
After several minutes of sifting through very sad writing, and being convinced she was going to give Octavia a hug next time she saw her, Twilight believed she got the just of the process.
"Gently stroke your hoof around the circular pad to scroll to a song," she spoke out loud. She looked down at the device and gently touched it with her hooves, before tracing along the wheel. It made a click with each highlighted movement on the LCD while swapping through the sample songs. After finding one to try, Twilight glanced up at the manual once more.
"Now press firmly on the central button in order to select and play the song," she spoke once more to herself, assessing the information. She gave a satisfied smile to herself while she closed her eyes. She did it. With this action. she will have near mastered the use of her iPod.
She firmly pressed her hoof down on the central button.
CRACK...sputter...poof
She dropped the manual on the ground at the realization that she just stomped on her iPod, and completely shattered it.
*Twitch*
"Boy...I really hope Twilight doesn't get angry with that iPod if she hasn't learned how to use it yet," Spike said while he held his iPhone sideways in both claws, playing a new app he bought called 'Robot Unicorn Attack'. All of a sudden he heard a whistling noise.
He looked up in the sky to see something falling. It was pink and purple. Spike narrowed his eyes to get a better focus.
"Is...that an iPo-"
CRACK!
"AAAAGGH! MY HEAD!"

So, we have a chapter up pretty early because I was bored, and Borderlands 2 wasn't doing it for me. So, hope you like it. Also, yes I did shamelessly promote Robot Unicorn Attack. It is the best flash game ever, and anyone who disagrees is wrong and hates bacon. If you hate bacon, the terrorists win.
So yeah, I hope you loved the new chapter! 
I'll rock your pony earholes.... if you know what i mean.
also i see a lot of reference to Epic Wub Time, and that is okay!
on i side note: NEVER INSULT THE SCRATCH TWILIGHT!!! OR THOU SHALL BE WUBBED OFF THE EARTH!!!!
1457809 Wubbed on the moon as well. Let's not forget DJ Darkside.
Who the buck is DJ Darkside? And Vinyl and Octavia? I LOVE THEM! This had me laughing my ass off, now I got to go to the hospital to re-attach my tail, thanks a lot you bastard, anyway.
Tech: Two, Twilight: Zero.
Why do I have a feeling that she is never going to win this war? SOMEONE CALL THE ROYAL GUARDS, SHE'S GETTING HER ASS HANDED TO HER!
Also, damn...poor Spike is going to be dead by the end of this story and do you have any idea how hard a hoof is? No wonder the damn thing broke under it. Wonder what the other Mane Six will think of this?
1457986 DJ Darkside is Luna's DJ name, foo!
Hehehe. She may win, and she my not. Who knows? 
I promise Spike won't be quite dead in this war, though.
...is Spike gonna suffer head injuries at the end of each chapter?
1458008 BOY, DO I NEED TO SLAP A FILLY? I WILL SLAP YOU WITH ANGEL THE RABBIT HIMSELF IF YOU TALK TO ME THAT WAY AGAIN
Bad ass name for Luna though. Going to laugh my ass off (again, don't worry, I'll send the bill for re-attaching my tail this time) if she loses and that....I do not believe.
1458145 Well...we'll have to see.
Send me a bill, and I will send you bacon. 
1458180 Send the fans the next chapter and I shall send you such and BACON!
1458373 Ummm.....no.
I'll buy my own.
1459147 Glad you enjoyed it, and I fixed what needed to be. I changed flash game to app
Another chapter for laughs. And I'm feeling empathy for poor little Octavia. Living with Vinyl, as awesome as that DJ can be, can be painful at times
On a side note, take this mustache 
and good luck with future chapters 
1459409 Thanks for 'le moustache.
and I'm glad you liked it.
1459422
Hey no problem pal. When a piece of fiction is good, can't help but praise it in some way
1459427 Well then, could I trouble you to possibly check out my piece Feral too? It would reeeeally help a pony out, bro.
1459445
I would if it wasn't gore stuff... Never liked that kind of stories, sorry.
1459468
...It's alright. Thanks anyway. It is reeeeally D'aww inducing at times, though. Just figured I'd mention that. Lol.
Blind Guardian - Battlefield
How funny, I was already listening to Blind Guardian when I searched that.
1460272 Indeed! I have both the original and the metal version! Both are epic, but I like Blind Guardian too much to not love the metal version more.
wow....i feel bad for twi....but the wubs come first.....so imma crank my bass to 15 and rock right now
1461180 It's crank that bass to 11.
It cleans off the dishes on a microscopic level....YEAAAHHH!
1461225
but i'm so awesome i break the barrier of wub that is 11....
i would tell vinyl that it wasn't loud enough so many times she would freak a bit
1461247 I would want it to be heard on the moon, it would be so loud.
1461252
....DJ Darkside is on the moon readying her black 134ss 13ust3r while DJ Pon-3 readies her Bass Cannon......they let loose on each other and thus the aurora borealis is made....out of sheer wub.....
