My Little Pony and all characters (besides my own, but who would want to steal them anyway?) belongs to Hasbro and all credit goes to them. This is my first Fanfic; trust me, I'm not getting paid for this.

360 seconds until Hydrogen collision

I jumped in place, jolted awake into the living world. I have been playing with the Gameboy I snuck into the field trip and hadn't noticed it was almost over. For the first time that morning, I looked around. Nothing really stuck out, just your normal college university preparing to break the laws of physics. Or at least that what the flyer said. I was just here for the break from school. It wasn't really that amazing: the halls were small and crowded, the classrooms filled with a sea of desks, everything I see at high school every day. Again, nothing special.

"Are you watching that pony show again?" an elbow nudged me accompanied with a whisper. I sighed and took out the headphones I was wearing.

"For the last time, I'm just playing some pocket monster game. And I told you not to tell anyone about that!" I whispered furiously under my breath, glancing side to side for any eavesdroppers. We all have a secret, one that we love to indulge but hate to share. Not to mention it was embarrassing. The thought of anyone knowing I watched girly cartoons was enough to make me lose sleep. I started to put in my headphones to tone everything out.

240 seconds until Hydrogen collision

I fumbled and dropped the headphones, which began swinging near the proximity of my knee. Using my hand, I gathered them up. After doing so, my eyes swung up to the window everyone was gathering to.

"Is that where we're supposed to watch this collision thingy?" I asked my friend next to me.

"Yeah, talk about nerds," he gestured toward the group, "I bet we're the only ones here for the day off. Hey, want to get a closer look?" he said with a glint in his eye. I smirked; mischief was the one thing that never bored us.

120 seconds until Hydrogen collision

I swore under my breath as we snuck through the door intended for the scientists that actually worked here. Countdowns always go faster in a hurry. We ran down some stairs before someone saw us. Giving the room a once-over, I deduced three things.

room was indeed a chamber and very big.

is a long metal tube in the middle of the chamber, with a slight bigger chamber at the very end.

to borderline ADD, I was going to touch said chamber.

Some guy in a white suit ran by us, obviously too busy to bother with obvious delinquents to be. My friend and I grinned.

"Wonder why he's in such a hur-"

90 seconds until Hydrogen collision

Oh, that's why. My friend and I looked to our lefts and our rights. All the white suits seemed busy and overworked. Perfect for us. Using some leftover boxes lying over the place and cluttered desks, we subtly worked our way closer to the tube. What mischief was going to be done, I did not know. But I did know it was going to be big.

60 seconds until Hydrogen collision

The tube was bigger than I thought. The main chamber of it was as tall as me; I had to stand on my tiptoes just to see the bottom of the bronze contraption. My friend snickered and pulled out a screwdriver from heavens knows where. Eyeing my perplexed look, he jerked his head toward the nearest cluttered desk. I felt stupid for not thinking of it myself.

30 seconds until Hydrogen collision

The countdown reminded me of our dwindling time. Carefully and hastily, my friend unscrewed the window of the chamber so I could reach in. Using tape I found on the ground, I stuck it on a piece of paper I took out of my pocket. I showed my friend.

Snickering, he whispered, "Do it!" I taped the MLP promo poster inside the chamber. If this little science experiment worked, I figured there might be cameras. Talk about a way to embarrass Yale. Might even get a professor sacked.

10 seconds until Hydrogen collision

I leaned backward to get out the chamber I was leaning into. In my defense, it was huge. But something was wrong. I could hear the machine humming. I wiggled a bit to no avail.

My eyes began to blur. I started to struggle.

8

I could feel my friend pulling me.

7

The machine was pulling back. Or was it the gravity?

6

I fell in, my center of balance thrown out of whack.

5

The window behind me slammed shut. My friend pounded on the glass, screaming something I couldn't hear. I pounded back. A couple white suits took notice and tried to help open the window.

4

I was doomed.

3

What happens if I get hit by an atom going faster than light?

2

Am I going to die?

1

I'm sorry God. Please send me to heaven so I can tell my grandma I love her.

0

All I saw was a flash of light and darkness.

Nothing but darkness.

"I'm Pinkie Pie. Are you a new pony? I know every pony but I've never seen you before! Let's throw you a party!"

…

What?
