- >You finish coating the box in sunflower oil.
- >You're pretty sure that's what they do with boxes.
- >You place the box carefully in the air to dry, and skip and prance away.
- >Today has been pretty alright.
- >You got an idea this morning on how to make everything better for everypony ever, and have spent the last several hours preparing to make that idea a reality.
- >Now you have to wait. You know exactly how this is going to turn out, and don't even fight it.
- >You pop down to the shops and pick up a loaf of bread and a carton of milk.
- >To pay for these things, you reach into your pouch of bits and fling a handful at the shopkeeper.
- >Should cover it.
- >Then, you start flipping end over end in the direction of the Library.
- >It's about time you start paying her back for the food you eat.
- >As you approach, however, you notice a large, sparkly, purple dome over the Library.
- >You step right through it, and continue inside.
- >Twilight seems surprised to see you.
- "What's with the dome?"
- >"It's meant to keep you from getting inside! How did you get in?"
- >You think.
- "Inside and outside are relative. As far as I'm concerned, this is the outside, and that's the inside."
- >You proffer the bread and milk.
- "I bought these. Take them."
- >You toss them at her and she stops them with her damned telekinesis.
- >"That's... very thoughtful. Thank you."
- "Bored now, see ya later."
- >You backflip your way out of there, and through the shield, into what is now the outside.
- >Waiting for your box to dry is taking too long.
- >You find yourself back at the box in no time at all.
- >Heat makes things dry, right?
- >Fire is hot.
- >The solution is obvious.
- >You shake your hand really fast, to make the molecules and such vibrate really, really fast.
- >To your knowledge, this is how heat and, by extension, fire works, and it's worked for you so far.
- >Your hand catches alight, and as soon as it does, you throw the fire at the box.
- >Fwoosh.
- >The flames die down, and the box is perfectly dried.
- >You retrieve your box, and open it up.
- >Since it can fit in the palm of your hand, it isn't quite big enough to contain much of anything, though you intend to change that.
- >The universe has an infinite amount of space, right?
- >So any space you took away from it wouldn't mean anything in the long run.
- >Good to know.
- >You grab a whole bunch of space, and start cramming it into the box.
- >Turns out manipulating more abstract things is just as easy as manipulating other things.
- >It's a bit of a tight fit at first, but as more space goes in the box, there's more space for more space.
- >You do a mental test to see if that makes any sense, and it checks out.
- >Eventually you manage to fit an entirely unreasonable amount of space in your little box.
- >Now it's smaller on the outside than it is on the inside. Or bigger on the inside, it hardly changes anything.
- >Time to spread the love.
- >You stop being there
- >And start being at Carousel Boutique.
- "I need six bags."
- >"Six? Might I ask why that number specifically?"
- "Presents."
- >"Well in that case, I might have some bags lying around..."
- >You upend your sack of bits, creating a neat pile of gold.
- >Should cover it.
- >In short order, she returns with a pile of six saddlebags.
- >They're all brown canvas. This is fine, you can customise them later.
- >But now, it is time for love.
- >You get a bag off the top, and open it,
- >Everything seems to be in order, though you would expect as much from Rarity.
- >You pour some space out of your box into the bag, and shut it.
- "For you, mademoiselle. It's a different size on the inside rather than the outside."
- >She sticks her head in to check. You hear muffled speech.
- >"You're right! It is!"
- >You stop being in Carousel Boutique
- >And start being outside Fluttershy's shack.
- >You rap on the door a few times, and Discord answers.
- "'Sup, Discord. I've got a present for Fluttershy."
- >You hold up the bag.
- >"Very well, come in."
- >As you enter, you pour some space into the bag.
- >Fluttershy is enjoying some sort of hot beverage. Probably tea.
- "Hey, Fluttershy. I've got a present for you."
- >You present the bag, and bow.
- >"Oh, thank you."
- >She takes the bag, you explain it's dimensions, and you stop being there
- >And start being on top of Applejack.
- >You pour some more space into a bag, and flip off her back so you're in front of her.
- >You start walking backwards.
- "Hey, AJ, I was thinking to myself earlier-"
- >She mumbles something under her breath that sounds like "Doubtful."
- "And I thought Wow! Apples sure are heavy! You know what would help with that?"
- >Tilted head.
- "A bag with an incredibly large storage space!"
- >You toss her the bag, and it lands on her back.
- "Small on the outside, big on the inside."
- >You stop being wherever Applejack was
- >And start being inside Pinkie's prodigious mane.
- >You pour some space into another bag, and pop out of her mane.
- "Here's a bag. It's for you."
- >You throw the bag at her, and she catches it in her teeth with a little pirouette.
- "Do you have any idea how hard it is to come up with ideas on how to say something is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside?"
- >You stop being there before she can say anything
- >And start being in Rainbow Dash's house.
- >A house made of clouds is still patently absurd.
- >You fill another bag with space, and leave it on Rainbow's bed.
- >She'll figure it out sooner or later.
- >Now for Twilight.
- >As per usual, this will require more thought.
- >As you think, you absent-mindedly pour more and more space into the last bag.
- >You climb into the bag with your head sticking out, and hop your way over to the library.
- >Nearing the library, you notice the shield's down. Must have given up on that.
- >You hop right up to the door, and knock on it, before sealing yourself in the bag entirely.
- >You feel yourself get picked up with damned telekinesis, and you hear muffled words.
- >As soon as you get set down, you burst out of the bag and yell
- "SURPRISE!"
- >And Twilight stumbles backwards, and falls straight on her butt.
- >As you extricate yourself from the bag, you explain the situation.
- "It's bigger on the inside!"
- >Smooth.
- >The library is actually pretty cramped, now that you think about it.
- "I'm going to make the library bigger, if you don't mind."
- >You take her stunned silence as a go-ahead, and upend your box, letting the space flow.
- >The library fills with space, making more space for more space with every bit of space that goes in.
- >The shelves and such get larger and larger, and further and further away.
- >The ceiling gets further and further away, and the stairs to get up there increase in length.
- >The books spread out to fit the increased shelf space.
- >And then Twilight screams.
- >She apparently doesn't know what to make of any of this, so she's just screaming.
- >It's pretty loud, and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon.
- >Spike leans in from upstairs and looks at the madness unfolding.
- >"Neat."
- >And he goes back to bed. What a cool guy.
- >You stop pouring space into the main room just as the screams start to echo.
- >Time to add space to all the other rooms!
- >You skip and prance and roll and flip and dance and galumph and spin your way through every other room in the library, sprinkling space as you go.
- >You end up back in the main room, with Twilight still screaming.
- >Taking a quill and a scrap of paper, you scribble down a letter.
- >You tap Twilight on the head, and hand her the letter.
- >She looks briefly bewildered before she looks at it, and reads it.
- "Dear Twilight Sparkle, Today I learned how to put space into things instead of learning how to telekinesis. Your faithful student, Anon Yttri Mous"
