~Acme Labs ~~~~~~~~~~~

Brain watched as the cab turned the corner. Then he pondered on what to do. Now that Pinky, his hyperactive and frighteningly stupid sidekick was gone, should he try again to take over the world, or should he enjoy a quiet evening at the lab? On second thought, maybe at Billie's cage. Or the Franklin Mint.

He pondered a bit more, and then made his way inside when he was almost run over by a bicycle.

He was still pondering what to do when something large and blue crashed through the ceiling and hurtled towards him.

"Aaaaarrrgh!" he yelled, and was promply squished.

The thing that had squished him screamed too.

"Aaaaarrrgh!" she yelled "I'm in a lab, aaaaaaaagh!!!People are going to test on me and I'll turn into a giant moth! Aaaaahh!!!!!"

She began to rampage around the lab, knocking over garbage cans and weird looking liquids in glass bottles. Two crashed together and there was an explosion that knocked over a table, throwing Bowtie (with Brain stuck to her stomach) across the room.

They hit the wall with a large WHUMP, and Brain peeled off and fell on the floor.

"Ouch."

Bowtie also fell over, but in a dead faint.

Thump.

There was silence in the lab.

Brain stood up.

"Oww, my head." he groaned, then looked at the cause of all his pain.

It was blue and pink, and very large, though he had already established that.

He climbed on the table that was not overturned and looked down. It was a blue horse. No, a pony.

"A blue pony?" he said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

And it had freckles. White ones. And pink bows on it's rump. And a pink main and tail. It was sickeningly cute, except for the drool that was coming from the side of it's mouth.

"A blue pony." he repeated "It must be from a fair or something. And they dyed it, maybe. But what about it's eyes?"

The eyes were huge and beady. He wished it would open them so he could get a look at what they looked like instead of just the size.

His wish came true.

She sighed. Then she stood up and opened her huge eyes and looked around.

"I can't belive it's a real lab...I thought it was some kind of joke! Labs aren't supposed to exist in real life! They aren't, they aren't, they aren't!"

Brain had been watching openmouthed at all this."Talking pony!" he said.

She eyed him.

"Yuck," she said, "A rat. A horrible white rat. A mutant rat."

Brain cringed.

"I am not a rat." he said, irritated. "I am a genetically altered lab mouse bent on taking over the world! My sidekick Pinky is visiting his parents in Chad. And who might you be?"

"Bowtie. I'm a My Little Pony. From Ponyland."

She blinked.

"Taking over the world? A sidekick?" She suddenly doubled over laughing, and Brain felt a second wave of irritation wash over him.

"It's not funny," he said, "I am the Brain and I will soon be your ruler."

Bowtie snorted. "Yeah right." she said "My only ruler is Majesty. And maybe the princesses on a good day. Except for Tiffany who is such a priss. She hates me." she grinned and looked suddenly evil. This time it was Brain's turn to eye her.

"Now what do I do," mused Bowtie, "If I stay here I'll be experimented on, and I definately don't wan't a big head like you." She shuddered. Brain sighed.

"Yes, that's true." he said, pondering, "But first we will have to figure out how you can get back. If you stay here you might not be experimented on at first, but you might end up in a zoo for money."

Then it hit him.

"Yes!" he said "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

"What? You sound like Wind Whistler."

"Thinking. Pondering."

"Oh. How am I supposed to know if I'm pondering what your pondering?"

Brain sighed.

"I can use you to take over the world! You 'My Little Ponies' are sickeningly cute, from what I can see. With that, I can frighten the people of the world into making me their leader!"

"What's in it for me?" asked Bowtie, looming threateningly over him.

Brain pondered again.

"Well, to get the rest of you from this 'Ponyland', I'll have to somehow open the portal that leads there. Once I am ruler of the world, you can all return to 'Ponyland'. If not, you'll never get back, unless you allready have a way to open the portal."

Bowtie nodded slowly.

"Okay," she said hesitantly "Fair enough. Where do we start?"

Brain grinned evily.

"We'll have to disguise you."
