Act 1: Chapter 2
“So, Twilight, what’s with all this stone again?” Stalagspike asked.
“Well, Ты see, Stalagspike, earth ponies and Единороги have been trying for a small time to find a way to get to places faster than with your hooves. Well not anymore!” Twilight shouted. She started using her makeshift tools to mold the stone into a round shape with a round hole in the middle.
“I call it…” Twilight said, “The Spinny Thingy!” Pinkie Rock glared at the newly named Spinny Thingy. She smiled and jumped on вверх of it. And strangest thing, it started to roll. She used her hooves to control where she was supposed to go.
“Whee!!” Pinkie shouted, “You should call it the Whee Machine!!”
“That sounds dirty… let’s call it the wheel!!” Stalagspike suggested.
“You just took whee and added another character to it… BRILLIANT!” Pinkie said.
“You know what… this may be a technological breakthrough! Maybe soon, everypony will be using these for… maybe… wagons!” Twilight shouted. Pinkie looked at her like she was crazy.
“Don’t be so silly Twilight,” Pinkie Rock said, knocking the Wheel on the ground.
“But, but-” Twilight said, picking it up, “The Wheel-”
“Yeah, it was fun!” Pinkie said, “But Twilight, Tribe Leader Celestia won’t be impressed by a round thing that rolls. She wants something еще exciting!” Twilight turned red from frustration.
“I’LL Показать YOU! Stalagspike, take a letter!” Twilight said. Stalagspike took up a slab of stone and a chisel.
“Dear Tribe Leader Celestia,
I am happy to inform Ты that I have discovered an invention that will change ponykind forever. This invention will change the whole of Ponyville and the residents of Equestria as a whole. I await your eager and trusted opinion.
Your student, Twilight Sparkle,” Twilight Sparkle stated, “And make sure Ты include a diagram as well as what its called.”
“The wheel…” Stalagspike muttered, “Got it!” Than he took in a big breath and puffed out a small fire, which sent the slab to Tribe Leader Celestia.
“Alright, it’s sent. But I’m with Pinkie here. This may not be very interesting,” Stalagspike said. Twilight scoffed.
“Please, Stalagspike,” Twilight said, “As my mentor, she’s supposed to encourage me to learn new things!” Suddenly a stone slab landed on Stalagspike.
“Ouch! Wow, Ты got a reply right away,” Stalagspike said, clearing his throat, “Dear Twilight, as your mentor, I encourage to learn new things.”
“As always,” Twilight сказал(-а) smugly.
“But this idea is simply LUDICROUS! No one will be using it in about 2000 years!” Stalagspike said, continuing to read.
“WHAT?!” Twilight shouted, “But… but… it was perfect! It’s a faster way to get around! Why wouldn’t anyone use this?”
“Maybe for a toy!” Pinkie said, rolling around on it some more. Twilight groaned. This wasn’t going according to plan.
------------------------------------------------
“Fluttershy, do Ты ever feel like Ты just accomplished something and yet no пони else felt the same way?” Twilight said. They were eating some трава and сено, сена outside a small restaurant, a place discovered by this пони named Carrot Top.
“Well… no,” Fluttershy said, “But that’s OK. I’m pretty sure that whatever Ты did impressed Tribe Leader Celestia a whole lot!”
“No, it didn’t!” Twilight said, “You see, I invented this thing called the wheel and Celestia сказал(-а) it was something that ponies wouldn’t use in the future. I don’t understand. It gives ponies the ability to get where they’re going FASTER! Ты like the idea don’t Ты Fluttershy?”
At this point, Fluttershy didn’t know what to say. Fluttershy tried to think… a round that lets ponies get where they’re going faster… it sounds nice… but than again…
“It sounds… nice,” Fluttershy said, looking down shyly.
“Nice?” Twilight asked. Fluttershy dug her snout in her hay, wishing she hadn’t сказал(-а) anything.
“NICE?!?!” Twilight said, “It was perfect!” Fluttershy whimpered and abandoned the table, hoping she wouldn’t get too angry.
“Wait, Fluttershy, I’m…” Twilight whimpered, “Sorry…” Twilight looked down. Maybe Tribe Leader Celestia was right… maybe it wasn’t a technological breakthrough. She rose up from her seat, paid for both of their meals and walked back to her cave. She was gonna work extra hard to impress the Tribe Leader, even if it took all night!
-----------------------------------------------
It was midnight. Everypony else had gone to bed… everypony except Twilight, who was having a hard time concentrating without any light.
If only there was some way to see at night, Twilight thought as she chiseled out some еще research notes. She looked at Stalagspike, who was sleeping very innocently and gave it some thought.
Stalagspike can breathe this stuff… that makes this glowy stuff… Twilight thought, What if I were to упряжь, ремень безопасности it? Maybe than I could understand what it is. Twilight looked at her baby dragon and shook her head. It would be a crime to wake him up at a time like this. She tapped her horn.
“Maybe if I use some magic, maybe I can create the stuff that comes out of Stalagspike’s mouth,” Twilight whispered. She gathered some of the wood for repairs and went outside. She also took some stone too, just in case.
Alright… concentrate Twilight, she thought, kneeling down in front of the pile. What she didn’t know was that there was a душ scheduled for tonight and радуга Dash, a strange multi colored pony, was already moving some of the clouds. Twilight concentrated all her magic into created what Spike usually did. A few sparks appeared on her horn.
радуга Dash, who was moving the clouds, already took notice of this and quietly blocked out the full moon. They were the sparks again. She flew down and landed silently on the ground and waited. Another spark, bigger this time, filled her with shock. In the light of the shock, she noticed Twilight. What was Twilight doing?
Finally, the last spark appeared, cause a great explosion of light and heat all at once. There was no power еще amazing and the great big light was as bright as the sun. радуга Dash’s eyes widened and she flew off into the clouds. The whole ruckus though, had caused everypony to wake up. They all trotted towards the Источник of the light, thinking in fear, it was the sun but instead got welcomed to a miniature sun on the ground.
“I…. I…” Twilight said, “I was just trying to mimic what Stalagspike did with his horn. I’m so sorry I caused any trouble.” One mare stepped up, ready to say something, but instead was greeted by the warm glow.
“Hey… honey, come over here and sit,” she said. A stallion, obviously her husband, stepped up and sat Далее to her. He smiled and she laid her head on his shoulder.
“This reminds me of when I first met you,” he said. радуга Dash decided to go against the Pegasus commander’s orders and not let it rain tonight. Instead, she landed by the огонь and went to sleep.
“Wanna just sleep here?” some of the ponies began to say and than curled up Далее to this strange glow. It was so warm and amazing… and for once they could see. Twilight curled Далее to it too. She couldn’t wait to write to Tribe Leader Celestia about this.
“So, Twilight, what’s with all this stone again?” Stalagspike asked.
“Well, Ты see, Stalagspike, earth ponies and Единороги have been trying for a small time to find a way to get to places faster than with your hooves. Well not anymore!” Twilight shouted. She started using her makeshift tools to mold the stone into a round shape with a round hole in the middle.

This engine is what Metal Gloss was using. It's called an SD7
They're going to turn this beetle into a hot rod.
