Riku's POV

The Surprise: 1

I had just been given one of these new Holographic Characters on the Thanks-Giving day. On a closer inspection, it turned out to be Apple Bloom, just as I had hoped it should be.

Guess they had listened to me, to us, considering my sisters Ponyo and Sora got Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle respectively, which is exactly the once they had been hoping for.

“Sweet, I got Apple Bloom!” I exclaimed.

“I got Scootaloo!” Ponyo responded in an excited tone.

“You both are lucky, I got Sweetie Belle!” Sora pondered.

“We have to check them out, right now that is!”I responded.

“That would be so cool, Riku!” Ponyo responded.

“Awsome, good thing we have an emitter that can handle multiple characters!” Sora continued.

One just had to go to the living room and plug the stick in and adjust the character to one’s likings, which was easy enough.

“I take the first slot, then you take the second and the third respectively!” I pointed out as I reached the console.

I started out, choosing an Anthropomorphic configuration, before I opted for her ears, eyes, mane, muzzle and tail to go standard. I like my Apple Bloom to be an actual Apple Bloom, even in the Anthro form.

Since I like her looks as a teen, I made her look like one, but set her as a young mare. Her body is a nice girl’s body with a teen’s A cup jigglies, but with large nibbles, or about as large as I dared to push it. I chose to allow her to remain the more athletic to slender body type, in part due to whom she was, in my eyes. Maybe I am wrong, but it is how I view her.

This may be intended as entertainment, but I like her to be a friend and up to whatever fun I may choose to engage her in, so I did not want her to look or act as a child or foal, whichever one may refer to in this case. How the programming would handle her age was a detail I chose to ignore. I wanted Apple Bloom, not Apple Jack or any other fully adult mare character.

A narrow waist and wide hips, then fairly human arms, then I opted for long nails, just to see how it would come out. Her legs are going to be more equine and emphasis her equine nature with clearly defined hooves.

Once I had made my choices, I could see the character come out of the image and soon stood before me.

“Hi, Apple Bloom, I am Riku. Come with me to my room. The console is all yours, Ponyo!” I pointed out.

“Hi, Riku. Sure thing!” Apple Bloom responded as she followed me to my room.
