AN : Hehe, I forgot this last chapter.

ASHPD Development : Yes, yes I am.

ww1990ww : I'm sorry what?

Knight25 : Thanks!

Opnir : Thank you, and yes indeed, randomness.

Ddragon21 : No, now you know, maybe, I'm going to put up a poll.

SleepyMangaHead : Mayhaps, loyal viewer, mayhaps.

"Okay, I've figured out what you're doing, and no. It is not magic." Dinky adopts a sullen look upon her face, as the pencil slowly settles to the floor. "However, it might as well be. You seem to be influencing ambient electrons simply with your mind, allowing you to manipulate objects. You say others like you could do complex spells? That's probably a very intricate method of the same thing, more or less, only calling for more finesse."

"Yeah, Dink!" Harry says positively, "It in no way means you can't perform anymore, it just means you don't have to give it such a frivolous title. It's progress, right?" Dinky's expression lifts at that, and then a thought strikes her, causing her to grin somewhat evilly. "You're right, Harry! And just imagine if I find myself returned to Equestria! I'll completely FLOOR Twilight with my advanced scientific knowledge!"

Harry smiles wider, laughing, and responds enthusiastically, "That's the spirit, Dink! You'll be as smart as GLaDOS in... well..." He scrunches up his face in deep thought, "Okay, you won't be as smart as GLaDOS, but you'll be as smart as the scientists who made her in no time at all!"

"I agree," GLaDOS states in the pleasant tone she had developed over the past few years, "If you keep up that knowledge seeking you've got and practice scientific research and the like, you'll be able to produce AI cores in no time at all, almost effortlessly." Any remnant of Dinky's upset mood dissolves instantly at the praise, and GLaDOS continues with an alternate thought, "Besides that, this... Electron Manipulation requires further study. Perhaps you would attempt other things with it, other 'spells' or the like, Dinky?"

Dinky doesn't even need to think about it half a second before she rushes off to get a notepad.

-One Week Later-

"GLaDOS! GLaDOS! I found something interesting!" GLaDOS rotates her body to see the filly holding a piece of paper with a strange symbol on it, like a Y with the stalk going as high as the branches, except less angular and more curved. "Watch this!" GLaDOS' sensors pick up the Electron Manipulation taking place, but surprisingly, there is an effect that reminds her of magnets, with the force travelling about the odd symbol, and within a second, the paper ignites.

"What in the name of science was that?" GLaDOS asks in shock, staring slightly more intensely at the paper, or rather pile of ash, than she does anything else. "I was looking into old texts referencing magic," Dinky explains, "And I saw something about runes, so I thought, 'If it's so much like magic, maybe runes will do something. So I made up a bunch of random runes, and this is the first one that does anything! FIRE!" Dinky looks like she's about to pass out from a combination of excitement and exhaustion, likely from running all the way from her room to the main chamber.

"Harry, please come here." GLaDOS calls out, and not a minute later, Harry shows up wearing his lab coat with a notepad. "What did you blow up, Dink?" he says immediately, smelling the smoke. "Not blew up, Harry! Ignited! WITH MAGIC!" Dinky excitedly proclaims her strength almost instantly returning, and Harry looks to GLaDOS for further information.

"Dinky found some... bizarre symbols that have the innate ability to channel her... 'magic', and alter its properties. The one she found caused massive amounts of heat, or in this case fire." GLaDOS explains simply, still quite amazed by the phenomena. Harry looks to the filly who is excitedly hopping around with her discovery in her head and her specially made jumpsuit on her body.

"That's amazing Dinky! You've taken already science altering knowledge and used it to blow basic physics out of the water. A simple pattern able to create heat from nearly nothing. Fan-fucking-tastic, Dink!" Harry praises, while Dinky blushes slightly and digs her hoof into the floor.

"Th-thanks, Harry. That means a lot." Dinky mumbles, looking down.

"What am I, a defective turret?" GLaDOS complains jokingly.

"Wh-WHAT?! NO! I-I just! IT MEANS A LOT COMIN' FROM YOU, TOO, YA KNOW!" Dinky shouts, nervously slipping into a bizarre accent she learned from a friend at school. Jersey-ite, or something.

GLaDOS doesn't respond much further than laughing a little, and then saying, "I'd say you'd best find more. From what I've heard from novels, combinations are even more useful. Maybe some way to weaken the flame, or project it. 'Go nuts', as I believe the human phrase is, just don't blow us up, alright, Dinky?" Dinky nods enthusiastically, and then drags Harry off with her to her personal lab space to do further research, ignoring any and all complaints along the way.

AN: Remember, reviews make me happy. Reviews make me feel popular and loved. I just so happen to be a Changeling, so if you don't want me to starve to death and stop updating, it'd be best if you went and gave me a review. Please, readers... *Gasp* So... Hungry... *Gasp*

Okay, but in all seriousness, I usually feel more inspired by constructive criticism and support than, well... almost anything. It's only beat out by sudden strikes of inspiration and crazy-ass dreams. Anyway, this is ASHPD Development signing out for the very first time. Goodbye, and good luck.

ASHPD Development is riding his rainbow giraffe all the way to Mars! BEST. ACID. TRIP. EVER. (Not really, I don't do drugs)
