Season 3: Love Season
Episode 5 (35): Smarts Make the Rights (Twilight Sparkle x Edward)
Last time we looked at what Sunset Shimmer and Thomas were up to one their first day, next up….
So the group walked off in different directions while the Mane 7 walk with their respective boyfriends. Twilight was in her house typing on her laptop with Spike on her lap and Edward sitting right next to her looking at the screen.
Edward: So what's in our agenda for the day.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, I've just researched what's around town and there's seem to be a museum of science and history that we can go to, it's got some amazing pieces of history of Earth and Equestrian history.
Edward: Interesting, I would like to see that place for myself.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, you're in luck, the two of us along with Spike here are given access to all the beautiful exhibits they have on display, wouldn't it be awesome.
Edward: I guess it would be awesome. When do we leave?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, we leave around tomorrow morning. So, let's get some sleep, we got some sight-seeing going to happen tomorrow. (Kisses his cheek)
Edward: (Blushes) Aww thanks for the kiss Twilight, and yes, we should get some sleep for tomorrow.
Twilight Sparkle: Do you mind if you sleep with me on my bed, I could use some company right next to Spike.
Edward: I don't mind Twilight.
So the two of them went upstairs, changed into their PJs and went to bed. While Edward was sleeping, he felt someone wrapping their arms and legs around him, he looked to see it was Twilight shifting closer to Edward. He blushed as Twilight cuddled next to him. The next morning, Twilight was preparing breakfast for the two of them, and poured dog food for Spike.
Spike: Thanks Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: You're welcome Spike.
Edward: (Yawns) Morning Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: Morning Edward, breakfast is served.
Edward: Thanks Twilight, that does smell good.
Twilight Sparkle: Thanks, enjoy yourself.
So the three started eating their breakfast before their trip to the museum. Once they got dressed, Twilight told Spike to stay in the house since dogs aren't allowed to the museum. So with that, they exited the house and walked to the bus stop while holding hands.
Twilight Sparkle: Are you excited for our museum trip, I know I am.
Edward: I am excited; I've never been inside an actual museum before. Only passed by some when I was an engine.
Twilight Sparkle: Really, you never been inside a museum before?
Edward: Yeah, that's right, we've only build new museums, but never seen the inside.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, you're in a luck. This museum we're going to is loaded with the Earth's history as well as Equestrian history, how crazy is that?
Edward: Well then, this should be interesting. Thanks for taking me with you on this trip.
Twilight Sparkle: No problem, anything for you. (Kisses his cheek)
Edward: (Chuckles) Thanks and look, I'm still new to this whole love-relationship thing, I know the others are perfectly good with it but I'm still grasping it.
Twilight Sparkle: Don't worry Edward, we're taking this nice and easy, and hopefully, it will progress later on. Trust me, I've been in there before.
So the bus raced off to the museum. Once the bus stopped, everyone stepped out as well as Twilight and Edward. They held hands and approached the entrance, once they went inside, they were marveled by a dinosaur standing in the middle of the main floor, the dinosaur was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, or T-Rex.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh wow, look at that thing. It almost looks like a dragon, just due to its bones.
Edward: It may look like a dragon, but it's not. This was the skeleton of one of the most fearsome predators to ever exist around the time of the Cretaceous, meet the king of the dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Twilight Sparkle: That's a pretty impressive title for a dinosaur.
Sam: You got that right. It's hard to imagine anything that came before us, and we're looking at it right now.
Edward: Oh, hi Sam.
Sam: Edward, hey buddy, what's been going on?
Edward: Oh, nothing much, just me and Twilight going on a date to this museum.
Sam: Oh, I see. Well, I won't bother you two or your time.
Edward: Didn't expect to see some of my friends also around the museum during our trip.
Twilight Sparkle: (Chuckles) I'm sure we'll bump into them as we see what this museum has to offer.
So they went to the right to another exhibit around the main floor, where it showed the events that happened before humans were born.
Twilight Sparkle: Wow, this was the timeline of how the Earth came to be. It first was a fiery ball of molten rock, then an ice ball, until the Earth returns to the way it was.
Edward: You're right about that. Look here, in the depths of the ocean, armored arthropods took over the seas until predatory fish took over. After that, arthropods and early vertebrates took over the lands and evolved to vast reptilians and other vertebrates. After some time, dinosaurs took and later, mammals took over and humans were born.
Twilight Sparkle: Wow, you're really smart. Keep that up and I might envy you.
Edward: Well, we're basically the same thing. We have really smart brains and we have the same traits with each other.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, you're right about that one Edward. Anyways, this really is one piece of history that will always be one of my favs.
So they went across from the Earth's history timeline and saw an exhibit of the Pillars of Old Equestria: Star Swirl, Rockhoof, Mistmane, Flash Magnus, Somnambula and Mage Meadowbrook.
Edward: So, this is the famous Pillars of Old Equestria in the pony world, right?
Twilight Sparkle: You got that right. Princess Twilight told me that these special ponies were a special force in fighting against some of Equestria's most feared villains, even the Pony of Shadows.
Edward: Your pony friends along with the Six Pillars must be real-time heroes.
Twilight Sparkle: You could say that. So, shall we head to the right corner of the museum.
Edward: Sure thing.
So the two went to the right corner of the museum, where it contained three exhibits of Earth's history and two exhibits of Equestrian history.
Twilight Sparkle: Look at the centerpiece, a model of what Equestria looks like. Man, it must be pretty awesome living in this kingdom like my princess counterpart.
Edward: You're right about that. It's a wonderful kingdom, and I'm glad Sunset told us all about the landscape that Equestria has to offer. It will be nice to live there
Trevor: You have no idea old friend.
Edward: Trevor, what are you doing here?
Trevor: I thought about exploring a little bit, with some of my friends I've met along the way.
Twilight Sparkle: Who's that?
Scootaloo: Who do you think Twilight?
Accompanying Trevor, was the CMC, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.
Apple Bloom: Hey Twilight, what are you and Edward doing here?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, me and Edward are walking around the museum to see it's amazing history and learn a little bit about each other.
Edward: Exactly, like the time that I saved my friend Trevor from getting scrapped.
Sweetie Belle: Really?!
Twilight Sparkle: That's right Sweetie Belle, back at our first campout, Edward told us the story on how he saved Trevor.
Apple Bloom: Wow, that's literally amazing!
Trevor: I have to agree with you, but we won't bother the two of you from your time, take care Edward.
Edward: You too Trevor.
They head to the next of the five exhibits. Which houses the timeline, artifacts and even pictures from WW1 & 2.
Edward: Huh, WW1 & 2, never thought I ever hear from the likes of those two great wars.
Twilight Sparkle: You're telling me, from what I've heard of those conflicts is that these battles were the bloodiest in Earth's history, from all the casualties from it and around the end of WW2, it's traumatizing to think of it.
Edward: I know what you mean Twilight, I would hate to see myself in the middle of these conflicts, let alone seeing my friends in the battles as well.
Twilight Sparkle: Same here, unless it's Equestrian enemies then that's a different story.
Edward: (Chuckles) You're right about that, still they sure know how to make some brilliant new inventions during the war, from tanks, mustard gas, war planes to even the Atomic Bomb that dropped around Hiroshima and Nagasaki around the end of the war.
Twilight Sparkle: Along with one of the worst events to ever happen in history of the wars, the Holocaust.
Edward: (Shudders) I feel ya Twilight, the amount of casualties around that unfortunate event are too saddening to even think about. Those dictators that this were the vilest beings to ever exist on the planet.
Twilight Sparkle: You're right about that one, but it's a good thing the Allies managed to help those that survived to tell the tale of their traumatic experience.
Edward: Wise words, now let's see what the next exhibit has to offer.
They went to another exhibit where it had a glass pane showing the six ponies fighting against Tirek.
Twilight Sparkle: I think this is what my princess counterpart told me about, that she and her friends were on the verge of defeat by the monstrous centaur known as Tirek, until they unlocked a chest containing extremely powerful magic which was enough to defeat Tirek and restore magic to all of Equestria.
Edward: Like I said, your friends along with your pony counterparts are real time superheroes.
Twilight Sparkle: (Chuckles) Well, we did help stop Diesel and his minions and saved Thomas from the clutches of Timothy along with Midnight, so I guess we are real time superheroes.
So they look to another exhibit where it showed the two some of the most awesome movies that set a record.
Twilight Sparkle: I've heard from Sunset that she and Thomas watched Titanic on their special date, and to this day, it's still one of the greatest love movies of all time. Along with a couple of others.
Edward: You got that right, from Jurassic Park, Avengers, Godzilla and a whole bunch more movies that many people enjoy.
Arthur: You got that right Edward.
They look to see Arthur, with Flash Sentry and Timber Spruce along with Logan.
Edward: Hello Arthur, Logan, what are you guys doing here and who are you new friends, besides you Flash.
Flash Sentry: Oh, I was about to say, I thought you forgot about me.
Edward: (Laughs) Of course not, Flash, what's good?
Flash Sentry: Nothing much, but you two along with your friends are literally legends, I've been telling Timber here that you guys are really famous.
Edward: Really.
Flash Sentry: Oh, my apologies, Edward and Twilight, this is Timber Spruce, I'm sure you are well aware of him right.
Twilight Sparkle: Umm, yeah, I'm totally aware of you guys.
Timber Spruce: Don't worry about it Twilight, I've heard that you and Edward are a thing now, and I'm not too judgy about it. In fact, I should be proud. Take care of her Edward.
Edward: Don't worry Timber, I will.
Logan: I'm surprised that you Twilight, once dated both Timber and Flash way before we got here.
Twilight Sparkle: Umm, yeah, well, my princess counterpart sorta knew Flash way before I did and around Everfree, I once dated Timber just to clarify.
Logan: Oh, didn't know that. But now I know. We won't disturb you of your time.
Edward: See ya you guys. I didn't know that you once dated Timber.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, that was a long time ago. But now, I'm dated you, so I guess you're the third guy I've dated, if you count my princess counterpart.
Edward: Probably don't count your counterpart, guess I'm the second guy you've dated.
Twilight Sparkle: (Giggles) I guess you're right on that one Edward. (Kisses his cheek) Come on, let's head to the next area.
Edward: Right behind you.
So they head to the final exhibit of the right bottom corner of the museum, which showed the famous Titanic ship, the one who boasted that it was unsinkable until its encounter with an iceberg.
Edward: Ah yes, the famous Titanic that sank around April 14, 1912. Dubbed the unsinkable ship since its maiden voyage, unfortunately, it hasn't come to pass.
Twilight Sparkle: I hear ya Edward, if all of my friends along with yours are on that ship before the sinking, we would have a blast like our yacht cruise from way before.
Edward: You girls went on a yacht?
Twilight Sparkle: You got it, it was a blast until Rainbow Dash tried to make us think there's Equestrian magic interfering with our vacation which caused her to explore a dangerous island and when me and Sunset tried to rescue her, we sorta went into another portal to Equestria.
Edward: Really, another portal to Equestria on a dangerous island.
Twilight Sparkle: That's what it seems like, but we did manage to rid ourselves of the magic, and get this, it was when my pony friends defeated the Storm King and that resulted in transporting some of his magic into our world. I know it sounds crazy but it's true.
Edward: (Chuckles) Well now, you girls must have gone on quite the adventure on the high seas, if Salty were on that boat, he'll be singing pirate shanties, telling tales about daring rescues and dangerous storms, which will probably scare even the little ones if they hear about it.
Twilight Sparkle: (Giggles) I totally agree with you on that one Edward, he'll probably be a laugh to some of my friends who find his stories interesting, but also hilarious. Come on, let's see the left side of the museum.
The left side of the museum has the same number of exhibits as the right side only this time, the centerpiece is a touch pool of intertidal creatures.
Edward: Whoa, what's this?
Twilight Sparkle: This is just like when we vacationed at the beach, Edward, these are intertidal creatures we find around our section of the beach, in this interactive exhibit, we have starfish, sea urchin, shrimp and even a friendly octopus.
Edward: Really, wow, so many creatures in this little exhibit.
Salty: You got that right me hearty, the intertidal creatures around this here interactive exhibit are just a drop compared to all the other animals around the sea.
Twilight Sparkle: Hello Salty, what brings you around the museum?
Salty: Thought I catch some breeze since hanging around Pinkie's bakery, I can tell you, she was loads of fun, almost like my good mates Bill and Ben. She loved hearing my daring tales of the high seas, I'm just glad Cranky wasn't here to hear it, he would never hear the end of it.
Edward: Well, we don't blame you Salty.
Salty: Avast maties, there be a tentacled beast coming out of that there cave.
Twilight Sparkle: (Chuckles) That's just an octopus Salty, he's no Kraken.
Salty: Oh, (Chuckles sheepishly), sorry, been too hooked up from my pirate tales.
Edward: It's alright Salty, no harm done.
Salty: Well, I catch ye later Edward and Twilight, have fun and stay safe!
Twilight Sparkle: We will Salty, hey Edward look, that octopus is coming out to say hello. From what I've learned is that they're really inquisitive, essentially very curious. Let's greet him.
So Edward rolled up his sleeve and the two of them put their hands in the water to greet the octopus. Already, he wrapped his tentacles all around their hands as a way of saying hello.
Edward: Oh my goodness, that really feels weird.
Twilight Sparkle: (Laughs) Tell me you and your friends never handled anything like an octopus right?
Edward: I guess you're right, but so that I'm not rude, I'm gonna give this little guy a pat on the head.
Twilight helped roll up Edward's other sleeve, and with his other hand, he petted the octopus's head and he closed in eyes with satisfaction as he was petted.
Twilight Sparkle: Aww, he likes it. You really are caring to any animal you come across on your island.
Edward: You're right about that. We still got four other exhibits to look at before we head home.
Twilight Sparkle: Sounds like a plan Edward, we'll see you again soon, my eight-armed friend.
They leave the interactive pool to wash their hands from the saltwater, while their octopus friend lifted a tentacle to wave goodbye at them before going back to his cave. They went to one exhibit where it showed the history of travel by wheel.
Edward: This is absolutely incredible; the way humans use wheels for so many modes of transportation.
Twilight Sparkle: You're right about that Edward, from handheld carts, horse wagons, bikes, cars and a whole lot of other vehicles. Men always seem to surprise themselves when they created something new.
Buster: You're right about that Twilight, though I wish I have one of those motorized wheelchairs, that way I can follow the rest of my pack without having to turn the wheels with my hands or be pushed by someone.
Edward: Hello Buster, what brings you here?
Buster: I'm with Jack and Alfie to accompany them, luckily the museum is generous to have a ramp built for people who are confined to their wheelchairs.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, that's nice for them.
Jack: It sure is Twilight, hey you two, I see that you two are spending some quality time together in the museum, am I right?
Edward: Well, you guessed right.
Alfie: Yo Alfie, let's continue looking around the place before we're called off from my friends for construction duty.
Jack: Right behind ya Alfie, gotta go, the three of us are in a hurry to see what the museum has to offer before we're called off for work. See ya you two, good luck on your date.
Edward: See ya Jack and Alfie, and goodbye Buster.
Twilight Sparkle: Those guys sure are a happy bunch, they almost seem like family.
Edward: When you put it like that, you're right, The Pack are like family.
Twilight Sparkle: Well then, we got three more exhibits before we head home for the day.
They went to see two exhibits which took place around the same time, it showed two glass panes showing the pony counterparts defeating two of Equestria's vilest villains: King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis.
Twilight Sparkle: I remember my counterpart telling me that Chrysalis captured Princess Cadence and shapeshifted into her to blend in in the middle of a wedding between her and her brother Shining Armor, but she managed to find the real Cadence and Chrysalis was later revealed. But with the help of her friends, they managed to defeat Chrysalis and the wedding went underway.
Edward: Interesting, also Sunset told me that for this one, the long lost Crystal Empire has suddenly risen up. It was once ruled by King Sombra; a tyrannical unicorn whose dictatorship is the stuff of nightmares under his rule. He was eventually defeated and now Cadence and Shining Armor rule it, and when your counterparts try to find the Crystal Heart, Sombra came back to take over until the Crystal Heart restored the empire repelling Sombra from coming back.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, at least that's a good thing. Let's check out that area.
They look to see one exhibit where it showed the remains of a building, an old firefighter hat and pictures of the most terrifying terrorist attack that happened in history, 9/11.
Edward: Oh boy, umm, this-this one really hits the heart where it hurt the most.
Twilight Sparkle: No kidding, when I heard of this event, it literally broke my heart into a bunch of pieces. It's so sad seeing all those people killed in this devastating attack.
Edward: But to all those that help the ones that survive the attacks should be commemorated for their actions.
Twilight Sparkle: Wise words coming from you.
Edward: What can I say, my friends call me the wisest of the team, and all that is backed up by experience on the railway.
Twilight Sparkle: I wish I can learn from you if we're on Sodor.
Edward: Who knows, maybe you can. But in the meantime, let's look at the last exhibit and then we'll head home.
Twilight Sparkle: Sure thing.
The last exhibit showed the story of how Nightmare Moon came to be, the princess of the night and day were in harmony, until jealousy and rage clouded Luna and thus, turned her into Nightmare Moon. In order for her to not return to Equestria, Celestia banished her own sister to the moon until sometime, she was released and returned to normal.
Twilight Sparkle: I remember Sunset telling me this story back in Ponyville, it was one of the most famous story in all the land, even though the legend turned out real.
Edward: You said it, geez, I can't imagine seeing my friends getting consumed by the nightmares and turn into this, though I think Timothy was far worse.
Twilight Sparkle: Can't argue with that Edward, I'm just glad Sunset managed to get rid of Thomas' demon brother and he suddenly returned to normal.
Edward: Yep, we're all happy that Thomas is back to normal and his demon brother is gone for good, hopefully nothing else tries to make Thomas evil.
Twilight Sparkle: Hopefully not, well, let's get going. I'm sure Spike will want to hear what we've been up to.
Edward: Probably, thank you for taking me to the museum. I enjoyed it.
Twilight Sparkle: No problem Edward, and there's one more gift I wanna give you before we get ourselves coffee for the return trip.
Edward: What's that.
He got the answer when Twilight kissed him on the lips, they stay that way for a minute until they break.
Twilight Sparkle: Like I said before, nice and slow.
Edward: You're right about that, come on, let's go home.
Twilight Sparkle: Right behind you.
So the two of them held hands and walked out of the museum, knowing their date was a huge success. Let's see how our next couple fairs next time….
