                - >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"
