Twilight Sparkle Accidentally Buys a Clopbot

Epilogue: The Morning After

Previous Chapter

Twilight awoke the next day, smiling, and feeling very relaxed. It had been a surprisingly wonderful night, and it was all thanks to Valiant, the greatest assistant a pony could ask for. There's no way I'm giving you back, she thought, as she stared into the now lifeless eyes of the metallic structure that lay cuddled up beside her, remembering the handsome face that he had worn the night before. Then she looked through the tiny gap between the shutters of the nearest window; barely any sunlight was coming through.

"Maybe just five more minutes," Twilight mumbled, as she snuggled up to the cool, metal belly of her robot stallion. Besides, it's not like I have anything else going on toda-

Knock knock knock!

Twilight looked up to make sure that all of the blinds were closed, and that the door was locked. They were. I’ll just pretend that I’m not here.

Knock knock knock!

“Twilight? You in there, sugarcube?”

Twilight’s eyes shot open when she heard Applejack’s voice on the other side of the door. Oh nononononononono. I completely forgot that my friends were coming over this morning to help dismantle Valiant.

KNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCK!

“Hey Twilight, open up!” Rainbow Dash shouted, obviously annoyed that her friend hadn’t promptly answered her door.

“Be right there,” Twilight called back to her friends. She tried to stand, but found movement nearly impossible since a very solid foreleg was wrapped around her belly, pinning her firmly to the ground. Uh oh. Twilight squirmed, and writhed, and fought as best as she could to escape her metal lover’s clutches, but it was all in vain. No no no. This isn’t good.

“Is everything alright in there, darling?” Rarity asked.

“Just - grrr - just a - oh come on - Just a second.”

Wait, why don’t I just use a levitation spell? Twilight laughed, feeling embarrassed that she hadn’t thought of using magic to lift Valiant off of her in the first place.

“Ok, one, two, three…” Valiant was surrounded in a brilliant red aura, and began to wriggle, but barely raised an inch off the ground before settling back into its original position. “What?” She tried again, and again, but to no avail. Twilight was frustrated; Why can’t I move this stupid thing, she thought, huffing, and puffing from the strain that trying to cast a simple levitation spell had put on her body. Normally she’d be able to lift something twice the size of the fake stallion, but now she could barely nudge it an inch.

After wracking her brain, trying to figure out what had happened to her, the only logical explanation that Twilight could come up with was that powering up, and using Valiant the night before had left her in a temporarily weakened state. What do I do now? It was a stupid question; she knew what she had to do, but the fact that she was a princess, and was in a very compromising position, made her scared about what other ponies might think if she was caught. Especially when it was her friends who were going to see her.

“AJ,” Twilight finally called when she decided that having her friends help her would be a much better fate than being stuck under a metal foreleg for Celestia knows how long, “I think I might need your help.”

She heard her friend push on the door, but it didn’t budge.

“Twi, could you give me a hoof here.”

Twilight closed her eyes, and focused all of her magical energy on the little lock on the front door.

Click.

The door burst open and the sound of hooves thundered throughout the library, as five ponies charged to their friend’s aid. And then there was absolute silence, as those same five ponies tried to register what they were seeing lying on the floor in front of them.

“Uh, Twi, would you mind tellin’ us what in tarnation is goin’ on here?”

Twilight looked up from the floor at her friends, who were all blushing as they stared at her with looks of shock on their faces. Well, all except Rainbow Dash, who looked like she was about ready to keel over with laughter, and Pinkie, who just sat there, smiling, and giggling.

“Hi girls,” Twilight said, trying to smile as innocently as possible. “I, uh-”

“You USED IT!” Rainbow said, pointing an accusing hoof in Twilight's direction.

“What? No! I was just, uh, standing near it, and it just...sort of...fell...on top of me.”

“Are you sure that’s what happened?” Applejack asked, walking around the alicorn, and the robot. “Because it looks to me like that clopbot is, uh cuddlin' you, sugarcube.”

Twilight could feel her cheeks flushing profusely, as her embarrassment escalated.

“Ok, fine, I used it. Could you please just get it off of me?”

AJ nodded, and she leaned up against the metal giant, and pushed with all her might. But it didn't move. Even with Pinkie tugging, Rarity using her magic, and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy pulling from above, they just couldn't move the metal stallion.

“There’s - haaah - gotta be an easier way to do this,” Applejack panted, when she realized that they weren’t getting anywhere.

“Why don’t I just fly up into the sky, get some momentum going, and then sonic rainboom that thing off of her,” Rainbow Dash suggested.

“No!” Twilight screamed, afraid that the impact of Rainbow Dash’s rainboom might harm her, her friend, and could even break Valiant. Not to mention the damage that it would do to her library. “I think I might have an idea.” It wasn’t the most ideal plan, but it was better than Rainbow's suggestion. Twilight raised her head away from the stallion’s chest, revealing the small, round outlet. “Rarity, if you could stick your horn in this hole, and use your magic to recharge Valiant, we can activate him, and just ask him to move.”

Rarity made her way to the stallion’s front, took one look at the hole that Twilight had mentioned, and cringed.

“Oh, darling,” she said, “are you sure there isn’t a better, less - ugh - icky way to do this?”

“Rarity, please, stop complaining, and get. This. Thing. Off. Of. Me!”

The unicorn gulped; she didn’t want to stick her horn inside another pony’s mechanical assistant, but her love for her friend outweighed her squeamishness of touching a used clopbot, so she bowed her head and approached the stallion’s chest.

“Ewewewewewew,” she groaned, as her horn slid into the squishy orifice. “Ewewewweeooooh mmmy.” The soft insides of the fake stallion’s chest began massaging Rarity’s horn, milking it of her magic. The room was soon filled with Rarity’s high pitched moans of pleasure, which made everypony very uncomfortable, including Pinkie Pie, who sat down next Fluttershy (who was plugging her ears with her hooves), and began whistling, trying to ignore the sounds her friend was making.

After five long, awkward minutes, the clopbot released its grip on Rarity, and the unicorn swooned, as she rose, and toppled over backwards in an exhausted heap. Thanks to her effort, Valiant hummed with new found life, and his eyes, mane, and tail shone with a soft, cornflower blue light. With the switch behind his ear still in the 'On' position, the light began to spread until it covered his entire body.

Valiant looked around the room at each of the mares, then down at Twilight, who tried to hide a smile as she peered up at the familiar masculine features of the faux stallion’s face.

“Princess Twilight,” he said, his voice back to its original, emotionless tone, “a new user has been detected. Would you like me to register her as a new partne-”

“NO!” Twilight shouted, “- Ahem - no, Valiant, there’s no need for that; all I need you to do is to get off of me.”

Valiant let out a sort of mechanical chuckle, as he stood up, releasing Twilight from his grasp.

“Forgive me, my princess. Perhaps I should have released you before my power drained last night. Would you like me to save that to my memory, and apply it to our next session?”

Twilight turned red, and she began to laugh nervously, a laugh which was suddenly drowned out by Rainbow Dash, who was rolling around on the floor in hysterics.

“Oh Celestia,” she said, wiping a tear from her eye, “I can’t believe you actually used that thing.”

“That’s enough, Rainbow Dash,” Applejack scolded, giving her friend a swift swat of her hoof. “What Twilight does with, uh, Valiant is her business.”

“Yeah, Dashie,” Pinkie Pie added, “there’s nothing wrong with a little robo-lovin’. I mean, sure, it can’t be as much fun as doing it with a real stallion but mffhm fmmfhmf nmf fhmff mmm...” Applejack placed a hoof over Pinkie’s mouth to keep her from saying any more.

After that, an uncomfortable silence fell about the room.

“My princess,” Valiant said, finally breaking the silence, “I would like to remind you that I am fully charged. Would you like to retire to a more private room to complete the session that this mare has so generously donated to you?” He bowed to Rarity, who was now seated, still breathing heavy after the amazing hornjob the clopbot had given her. “Or, if you would prefer, I could register these other five ponies as temporary users, and we could all start a session right now.”

Twilight thought her head was going to explode from the thought of Valiant's shocking suggestion.

“What?” She asked. “No. No to all of that.” The young princess took a few calming breaths, before addressing her companion again, “Look, I'm really busy right now, so why don’t you go over there and switch to standby mode or something.”

“Of course, my princess.” Valiant bowed again, before walking over to a corner, and sitting down. Then the color began to drain back into his body, revealing the cold metal chassis that it had covered.

“My he’s certainly, er, uh, different,” Rarity said, a musical hum in her voice, as the remains of her pleasant experience washed away.

"Yes he is," Twilight agreed.

"So what exactly are you plannin' on doin' with him?" Applejack asked.

Twilight thought for a moment; yesterday she would have disassembled the clopbot, and sent it back, no questions asked, but after using it, she felt the sudden urge to want to try it again.

"Well, I think I'm stuck with it, now that I've used it," she finally said. "Maybe I'll see if I can't find a way to repurpose it or something."

Applejack gave her friend a comforting smile.

"You don't have to lie, Twilight; if you want to keep it, and use it, that's perfectly fine."

Despite having surpassed her peak for embarrassment, she couldn't help but smile because of her friend's acceptance.

"If it makes you feel any better, Twilight," Pinkie Pie added, "we all have our own toys. I mean, yeah, none of them are as advanced, or as cool as your clopbot, but they get the jo-"

"Hey, I don't know about anypony else, but I could really go for a bite to eat," Rainbow Dash said, feeling flustered because what Pinkie Pie had said was the truth.

"Oh, um, yes. Why don't we, um, go over to Sugarcube Corner, and have some breakfast," Fluttershy said, her cheeks also turning pink. "And maybe we could, um, not talk about things that we may or may not have tucked away in the bottom of our sock drawers. EEEP! I mean...um, never mind..."

All six mares laughed nervously, as they got off the floor and made their way out the door, hoping to leave the awkward situation behind them. As they left Golden Oak Library, Twilight gave one last look at Valiant who sat there, silently, like the obedient assistant he was. Don’t worry, I’m not going to send you away anytime soon, she thought, as she closed the door, and locked it, leaving Valiant alone in the dark library, just sitting there, waiting for his princess to return and reactivate him.
