This chapter was written by a friend who goes by the name Firebirdbtops, and was published as a one shot! I know he doesn't look like much, but he's a great editor turned writer. The tone in this Twilight Tale is a little more silly and separate from the rest of the story. It's primary purpose is story filler between the last large event Twilight had, and the next pivotal moment in ATL. If I had the skill, or the determination I would happily write every scene Twilight spends on Earth for everypony's entertainment; but sadly, I do not. So, please accept this much from the both of us!
This side-chapter is canon, also, so keep that in mind. I've made sure you do not need Firebird's story to continue this one, nor the other way around.
Please enjoy!
Twilight Sparkle Plays Some Video Games

How do you people read so fast...

Heh, well that is an interesting theory about using magic, but wands aren't really a thing like in Harry Potter. I mean really, that would just be no fun at all if it was that easy.
And what the scientists are referring to would be things like laws of resistance and a few other things we do know about energy. By energy they're referring to electricity.
I'm not going to lie... that picture makes it look like she is getting more than hot over some video games.

Would you people get your mind out of the gutter!

Hah, well, I hope it doesn't come off as OP magic plot stuff, that is my biggest worry, of course. I'm hoping that in the end though everything comes together in an appropriate, and even more importantly, believable fashion.

Breath Spectrum.

But all the fun is in the gutter! Come join the gutter people, for we are fun and loose... well I'm not 'loose' per say.
Pun, Pun, Pun, Pun!

More importantly, do you like him as an antagonist? Irwin's another experiment of mine. Well... I guess everything I do is an experiment, but that's besides the point!
3375481 Twilight joins the science team... two weeks nanites flood the school and corrupt the computer systems, four weeks First contact with aliens via the warping of reality, two months, Twilight's teleportation module completed and prepped for transferring her back to Equestria, Twilight returns as a pony to assist with the machines and other experiments going on in the university.

They do vary widely. I felt a thousand was an alright benchmark, but I'll wait for the story to tell why rather than actually explain anything useful for you guys here.

Thank you Brother, that's very good to hear. ^^
Are you a dwarf by chance? The name suits one of the stout folk. Har, but yes I try to make chapters hold some significance large or small. Set up is vital. Let's hope I can just pull off all the best parts yet to come.
Someone probably had already asked this, but I've always wondered where exactly Spike fits in the Madverse. Do you have any plans for him? I have been missing the dragon for a quite some time.
You woke me up in the middle of the night with your infernal dubble updating you mad-person . (granted I forgot to turn off notifications myself )
I was sorely tempted to f it all and just get out of bed and read it then and there, but it made for awesome breakfast reading, so I'm glad I didn't .

Who says- Urgh, no, I will let you wait and see what I have in store...
Patience Merlos... Patience...
I do recommend you read something in there again, though. It may ease your mind, if not tell you the answer. (But yes I did some research on electricity beforehand. What you have stated about it, is certainly correct. ^^)
3377230 Wow that was a quick reply. Well, there may be something I spotted that was a little strange, but as you seem to want to keep it to yourself for now I'm not gonna say what I think it is.
Am I the only one who thinks Twilight looks sexy in that pic?

You aren't from Wisconsin I take it. Hold my beer is not even a dangerous phrase in the slightest.

Considering Princess Twilight being adept with magic on top of being the Element of Magic on top of being an alicorn, allowing some OP magic at conclusion/resolution of the story (assuming the Twilight goes back happy ending) is almost obligatory.
That being said, having Twilight fumble with everyday stuff is beautifully entertaining, and I don't mind if it take a long while.
3375235 Thinking about my comment I think I was a bit stupid...
Hard doesn't equal strong, I mean the crystal is so hard that it easily shatters (like glass for an example is nearly as hard as diamond, but easily breaks because it isn't flexible; same could be for the crystal, I mean you wrote 'hard' )
And thinking about the power output... a single fusion reactor would probably make these crystals look ridiculous, the fusion reactor which is planned to be build in France is enough to power half of europe
There's only thing I am not sure about: How were these crystals created? I mean, it's not like Twilight has enough magical power to erase an entire city with it.
Got interested in your fic due to skimming through that front page chapter. Got more interested when she said she saw artworks of her friends. Which begs the question if she's put two and two together yet, or if she needs a reminder to put two and two together. That being.... if her world is a work of fiction... then, wouldn't that potentially mean that all worlds are in some way a work of fiction in other realities? And that all works of fictions are actually other realities?

Please sire, step into my humble abode and read for yourself in order to find your answer.
3378608 lol Just got through the first chapter. I'm multi-tasking between it, my regular site checking(which takes a while) and chores.

I do not mind your summary of my entire Madverse events and surprises sir, but please, clearly label you post as a massive spoiler drop, if you would.
Or, perhaps just the madverse group and form a discussion thread. But yes very interesting thoughts on your part, sir. I do hope I don't disappoint.
Oh hey, I've seen the futa edits of twi by that artist.

Well, if you're an attractive blonde lady like Alice, your odds of it working are certainly better than average.

I believe the full line is, "I can do that. Here, hold my beer."

Once again WISCONSIN, have some insight.

Not even a little bit... Good job getting their vague reference.
3388684
Aye, me too.

If you ever meet me in real life, at say a con or something, you'll see just why this was such a long, arduous battle for me.
3394695 Yup, that's wrong too.

*Sighs audibly.*
The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h), which is fast enough to cover the planet's diameter (about 12,700 km) in seven minutes, and the distance to the Moon of 384,000 km in four hours.
I wrote.
You wrote.
So, initially you wrote axis, which I didn't mention, and you brought up KPH, where I wrote km/s, or over one hundred thousand kph.
I was pretty sure I had it right the first time, I never guess hard facts, after all. Also, quite a few bookish types read through my stories and just love trying to point things out to me. Thank you for reading, sir, please enjoy the rest!
3396707
Excellent.
3395011 Yes, we bookish types are always watching to rip authors to shreds when they use blatantly wrong pseudoscience!
We're all nerd trolls.
3395871 But the pony world will also asplode too!
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE PONIES!!
(Dun care about the hyoomans...)
I'm guessing from what's been shown thusfar that she still hasn't gotten through Season 3 of watching the show. When she finally does... she will be shocked beyond belief.>: ) :D
Still though, amazing fic thusfar. And interesting plot twists lately.^_^

I must apologise for bringing up this sore point again, but even though the image itself is quite PG[-13], the drawn nuances are screaming out what others are picking up on.
For instance, her posture, hand/finger positioning, and pertness indicate excitement of the more... Sensual sort. By themselves, it might have been missed by many who are still quite pure of mind. They'd be possibly even mistaken for an artistic quirk. The inclusion of her facial expressions, however, is what brings it to what it's being read as. The raised eyebrows, slight lip bite, expanded eyelids, intense focus at one point on the screen (of which is generally oftentimes a sensual focal point due to proper balancing), and the slight blushing just flat out scream what is being picked up on. Viewing her face by itself would encourage a far greater-than PG[-13] rating than the image as a whole conveys.
*Puts the abused horse to rest*
Am I the only one who thinks that Twilight would be good at XCOM, if she got over the whole "killing aliens" thing?
