Chapter 4: At the fucking Gala

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Yup, the fucking Grand Galloping Gala. It only took a couple days after the race for Twi to get two fucking tickets. I was helping Twi and Aj apple buck for the day, not for the bits, I have an unlimited supply of gold ingots that it can exchange for bits at the Canterlot Treasury, don't ask how I found that out. I was helping them apple buck because I wanted too, and to see the look on Aj's face when I cleared half of the orchard in thirty minutes with gathering the apple crates in another ten minutes. Yup, i'm in love with this body. I just don't know if i'm waterproof yet. Ehh, i'll figure that out soon enough. Anyway, I was hauling a couple loads of carts filled with apples when Spike burped that fateful letter that started it all. That. Fucking. Letter. Before Aj and Skittles can argue about who the extra ticket will go to, I went off the to the farm to drop off the apples.

When i'm done unloading the carts, turn around to be face to face with Big Mac. I would like to say that he didn't scare the living shit out of me, but he did. At least I didn't show it, the big fucker knows how to silent though, plus if he was surprised to see me didn't show it either.

"You that golden machine that helped stop Nightmare Moon ah while back?"

"Yeah, the names Golden Streak. Your Big Mac I assume"

"Eyup."

"Nice to meet'cha." I hold out my hand, it takes Mac a few seconds to get but he puts his hoof in my hand and we shake.

"Welp, I gotta go save Twilight from a mob of ponies." I fly off without saying anything to cruise over Ponyville to look for Twi. I spot her with spike running from the mob of ponies after her. *Looks like i'm not too late.* I dive bomb after them and pick them up without any warning, leaving smoke and a white streak. Once I make sure we weren't followed by the mob. I head to the library with Twi and Spike in my arms, if you call 'hanging from my arms with a death grip' in my arms. I land in front of the door and they bolt inside, followed by me.

"So, you chose anyone to go with you to the Gala?"

"No! Everypony keeps doing favors for me just for the tickets!" I help them out in locking up the library and turning off all the lights."Did you pick us up just to get the ticket yourself?" She asks with a grimace.

"Nah, I'm not really interested to go to the Gala." All the lights are off and Twi breaths a sigh of relief, only for the lights to come back on and the other girls are standing on top of a shelf. Twi yells in exasperation and I go into defensive mode, eyes glowing a thick red. "Any more attempts to get the ticket will result in immediate termination." They flinch and back off. I just said that to make 'em back off. What's with these fucking ponies and Balls? Hah, sex joke.

"I can't chose! I don't want to upset anypony by choosing who gets to go with me!" You can feel all the regret coming from the other five. Aj is the first to walk up to Twi, I give her my best 'don't you even fucking try' face. She flinches again, seeming to get the message.

"I'm sorry Twah', I didn't mean to put all the pressure on yah. If it helps I don't want the ticket anymore. I don't want it anymore." everypony else say the same thing in their own different except Skittles.

"Yes! The ticket is all mine! All mine! I got the tiiiicket, I got the tiiiicket." We all look her with an annoyingly, and my eyes flash red again. "Hehe, You know? I haven't perfected more signature move yet, I don't need that ticket anyway."

"We're sorry Twah, we were so caught up in getting the ticket that we put you under too much pressure, and for that, we're sorry."

"Now that that is cleared up, Twi, I believe you were going to send a letter?" She looks at me, confused.

"Wha... Oh! Yes! *ahem* Spike, take a note." And with that, Twi says shit about counting your blessings blah blah blah. She ends with sending the tickets back. The other five are left speechless.

"Very wise Twilight, very wise." She gives me an admiring look. Before anything else can be said, Spike burps up a letter from the princes.

"That was fast." She levitates the scroll to her and reads it off. "'Why didn't you say so? Here are tickets for the rest of your friends!'" Seven tickets pop out of the scroll.

*How did... Nevermind, fucking pony magic.* "Why are there seven tickets?" *I can already guess why...*

"The letter says the princess wants you to come to the gala to!"

*Fucking called it, god fucking dammit.* "Fine, i'll go." I say with a groan. I already said i'm not one for parties right? Well, same goes for fucking Balls, Hah, sex joke.

"You don't want to go to the Grand Galloping Gala!?" Pinkie looks shocked, if only she actually got to know me instead of trying to get me to dance at the last party I was at. I do NOT dance.

"Meh... It's not that I don't want to go. It's that I don't want to deal with all the pompous uptight nobles. Especially Blueblood, I would kill the fucker if it was legall."

"What was that?"

"Nothing, Rarity." I made it point a few days ago that if I say someones full name, it means i'm really, really pissed off, and to stay away from me as much as possible. Poor Caramel, At least he'll recover soon, maybe. Anyway.

"Plus, I know what's going to happen there, and I don't want to see it all go down."

"What do you mean by that?" A little bit of fear lingers in her voice.

"No spoilers. But, I would be really careful around cake."

"WHY!?"

"Like I said, No spoilers, and no, i'm not going to change the future. It could have dire consequences if mess with fate." I'm interrupted by Twi's stomach which decided to voice it's unhappiness. "How about we treat Twi to some lunch, or should I say dinner?" We all look outside to see that's sundown.

"Now that I agree with." She chuckles as we walk out side with are respective tickets floating in front of each other. I stay behind a little to see Spike getting a ticket himself. You can see him walking out of the library giggling like a little school girl who saw her crush. He freezes when he sees me. I wink and my eyes flash a soft blue. A smile claims Spike's face and he zooms past me.

*For a tough dragon, you have a lot of soft spots. And if it weren't for my eyes changing color according to emotion, i'd be totally fucked.*

<<<<<<<<--------The next day-------->>>>>>>>

The raises after another sleepless fucking night. That's also a blessing and curse, being a robot means that you don't get fucking tired, and can't power down, yet. I have yet to figure out if I can either do that or not. But i'll figure it sooner or later, if it's possible. Anyway, when the sun reaches a few feet over the horizon, a fancy way of saying six o'clock in the morning, I head over to the Carousel Boutique. Blowing up rocks underground to get diamonds can get boring, plus I don't know how to waste time much and i'm pretty impatient sometimes, all the time. Whatever, anyway, as you would imagine, Ponyville pretty dead in the morning. There are a few that trot around, but not enough to make the town look alive. I reach the Carousel Boutique in relative time, because I decided to walk. I you call taking three foot strides as walking, but that was my normal pace back on Earth. To give you an idea I was six feet one inch, with my legs being the longest part of my body, yeah, didn't look good, at all. Anyway, I make to the boutique and sure enough, the sign says 'Open'. I knock on the door.

"Come in!" I hear that voice mixed between a posh and british accent. Or upper Conterlotian if you want to get fucking fancy with naming accents.

"Rarity?" I say as I walk in the door. The inside consist of a few pony mannequins, three stages with mirrors forming a semicircle around each one. A couple racks the hold clothes, mostly dress with a few suits and tuxedos. All completed with a counter towards the center-back of the room i'm currently residing in. The clip clopping of hooves can be heard as Rarity canters in from a side room, presumably her work room.

"Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique, and magnifique!" She had her eyes closed while she spoke, either from concentrating to say it or to add 'flare', I will never find the answer, because I don't care enough to find out. When she opens them and sees me, she smiles a warm smile. "Well hello Golden! To what do I owe this pleasure of visiting my boutique?"

"Well, you see, I have request."

"I request?" There is glimmer of excitement in her eyes, I hate were that is leading to.

"I need something to wear to the Gala, seeing that i'm technically naked at the moment." The only reason that I didn't freak out about being naked in the first place is that i'm a fucking robot, there is nothing to show for my man bits. And I already looked into it, they're still there, trust me, but there is a cavity in my body where my dick would be. It's kinda like a lizard, where it stays completely hidden in that cavity until aroused. Meaning if you look at my crotch you won't see anything when i'm not horny. Heh, that's a funny word when you associate it with unicorns. Anyway.

"You need something to wear for the Gala? Look no further! For I , Rarity, will make you the most perfect suit to wear for such an occasion!" I could tell that she's been wanting to make some article of clothing for me for a while. And you know why, 'a whole new creature in Equestria'. Yeah, it was going to happen either way, might as well get it done the Gala.

"Thanks Rares. And I have a few ideas for what my suit will look like."

"Oh? Please do tell."

"Well, I was think it could be made of gold treading, don't worry about getting the gold, I have that covered. Anyway, The suit itself would be white gold with the seams being yellow gold, the buttons black, undershirt white with yellow seams, yellow gold tie, and white shoes with yellow gold soles. Is that a good enough description?"

"Yes darling, it's more than enough to tailor you a suit, now if you would please come with me so I can take your measurements."

"Lead the way." She leads me to one of those stage things and levitates some rope measuring tape to take measurements of my body.

"If a mare may ask, do other, 'robots', wear clothing?" I guess she wanted to pass time by sticking a conversation with me. Meh, I agree with that.

"Funny you should ask that, you know how a talked about humans, right?" She nods "Well, I was originally a human myself." She stares at me with wide eyes when I say that last part.

"You mean you weren't a golden machine before you arrived here in Equestria?"

"Nope, and to answer your question, it was a requirement for humans to wear clothing, all the time."

"Really!?" I knew she would like that part.

"Yup, and we were pretty diverse on clothing. There weren't any laws that defined what to specifically what to wear depending by which country you lived in."

"What do you mean 'depending in country'?"

"Well, there are over two hundred countries in my world." A jaw hitting the floor can be heard within the boutique.

"Over two hundred... You can't possibly be telling the truth!"

"If Aj were hear, she would say that I was. And yes, human clothing is that diverse."

"That is simply amazing! You must show some fashion designs from your world!"

"Maybe another time Rares, if I remember correctly, you were just about done taking measurements?"

"Oh, right. Yes, you may step off the stage." I do so. "Now, about the gold situation, how do have it 'covered'?" I smirk at that.

"Just watch this." I open the panel on my left arm and double tap on a stack of white gold I had. And it poofs into existence right next to me. A crate of gold, right next to me, millions, possibly billions of dollars in gold right next to me.... I banish that thought from my golden head. I look to Rarity who is currently about to pass out at the sight of all that white gold. "Is that enough to make the fabric for the suit? Oh! Almost forgot yellow gold." I look in my inventory panel and double tap on the stack of yellow gold. Making it poof to existence on the side of me. At this point she is swaying side to side, eyes about to roll up to the back of her head. I grab bucket of water from my inventory, at the sight of water she snaps out of it.

"I'm fine! I'm fine. No need to splash water on me." I put away the bucket. "But, how did you get all this gold!? I MUST know!?"

"I technically have an infinite supply of it." At that her face practically shines with excitement.

"You do!? Oh! Oh my..." That did it for her, she promptly swayed, eyes rolled up and fell on the floor. Being the good guy I am, I gently pick her up, and take her to her room upstairs. It wasn't hard to find her door, I just had to find the one covered with gemstones. I open it to see the room neatly organized and cleaned to the point of reflection. Clean freak, anyway, her bad is situated at the other end of her room. I walk over to it and carefully set Rarity in it. You know? No matter which pony it is they always look so fucking cute when they sleep. The way they tuck their legs in and that ever so present smile on their face. Even with Rarity and her makeup, it's fucking adorable. Just as i'm about to leave I hear her mumble something. "Mmm Blueblood mmmfff..." My fists clench and my eyes tint red for a millisecond.

*When that bastard uses her as a cake shield, he better start running. I always hated who lived up to the fucking 'i'm richer than you so that means I have more authority than you' stereotype. Just because you have a shit ton of money doesn't entitle you to a high form of importance, there are only a few exceptions for that, but a noble is NOT one of those exceptions. If only wealth wasn't a form of corruption.* I know that there's the exception of Fancy Pants, but there are too many fucking pompous asswholes that let money get to their head. Speaking of which, I plan to make myself rich, since I have an unlimited supply of, supplies. But am NOT I repeat, NOT, going to let money change who I am, just so I can break those fucking stereotypes! But now is not a good time, the Gala and all that shit. Before I become that creepy guy who watches ponies sleep, I walk out of Rarity's room, down the stairs, and out of the boutique. *I wonder why I didn't run into Sweetie Belle... She must of gone off to school before I got here.* I startup my thrusters and fly back to my house to waste time to get to the next day, and to find out what else my body can do. You one thing I discovered? I have stretchy powers like Jake from Adventure Time! Except that I can only use my arms, by extending them, expanding, and shaping them to whatever I want. Cool huh? Anyway, back to experimenting, and to wait for tomorrow's events, which I think will involve a certain orange mare...
