2:12 PM Tuesday.

Doll decided to go to the castle. If the ponies had royalty, they'd be in the castle. The ponies gave her a weird look, but proceeded on anyways. ‘Have they seen me before?’ She thought in panic. After walking deeper into the town a group of golden armoured ran up to her. “Please come with us.” Doll was going to argue wight them, but then noticed their spears. “Lead the way.” The royal guards lead Doll into the castle and to the throne room. The Princess was immediately surprised by the appearance of another human. “Hello.” The Princess greeted nicely. “I am Princess Celestia.” She said in a motherly tone. “Whats yours?” Doll felt safe but had it in the back of her mind they were gonna lure her into a false sense of security. “Uh… Doll. My name is Doll.” Celestia was amazed on the inside. Luna told her about Mike’s wife earlier in the day. She sent a message to her sister to bring Mike to the throne room. “Hello Doll…” The Princess waited  for a response from Luna. Eventually she got one ‘Right outside with him.’

“Well Doll…”

The doorknob turned.

“We have someone you would like to meet.”

The door opened and Luna stepped out.

“Her?” Doll asked.

“No.” Celestia said.

Mike walked out and was hit with a Tsunami of happiness and surprise.

“Him.”

Doll stared with the same feelings as Mike.

Mike walked towards Doll. The throne room was empty. Doll was on the verge of crying tears of joy. As was Mike. Mike stopped a foot away and stared at her for a few seconds. Mike smiled. Doll smiled. They walked up  to each other and wrapped up each other in a loving embrace for hours, it seemed.

They were together again.

3:45 PM

“Well… This sucks.” Jeremy said as he inside a hastily abandoned coffee shop. The ponies piled out the second they saw him in the window. Taking a sip of the coffee that could be comparable to dirt, he left a small tip. The ponies probably tried to kill him with ass-fastening coffee. A night guards worst nightmare. Walking out into the setting sun of Canterlot, he looked up and down the street for anything to keep him entertained. Walking down the street and taking a right his eyes were immediately drawn to the familiar two-legged scout walker from the greatest film series of all time. Walking over to it and basking in its gray and slightly charred exterior, he looked to the building that was home to the wondrous machine and read the name.

‘Alien museum.’

“I'm sure they'd love me.” Jeremy said out loud as he walked over to the front door. Why the building looked like the Lincoln memorial he’d never question. Opening the door he spotted a horse shoe shaped desk and a most tired looking mare writing things on paper behind a desk, her face obscure due to the stacks of paper. Jeremy coughed to get the mares attention. He really wanted to know if the Empire AT-ST sitting outside actually worked. Jeremy would be the happiest man on the planet. Growing up he slightly idolized Star Wars, but he never let anyone know because he’d be even more bullied for being a nerd. The mare was slightly woke and started to look to Jeremy. “Yes hello how ca-“ her jaw dropped when she laid eyes on Jeremy. “Oh sweet Celestia.” Jeremy smiled and walked over to the desk, the mare hadn't fainted yet so that was a good sign. “Does the robot outside still work?” He got straight to the point. The mare was so exited to meet and actual alien. The mare got up in a hurry and looked right into his soul. “I’ll be right back!” She yelled faster than Pinkie Pie and vanished out into and office looking area behind the desk. Looking around Jeremy spotted a multitude of different things. A dead Strider from the HL2 game series and even the huge ass sword from Final Fantasy. “This is confusing.” Jeremy said as he scratched his head. The door opened again and Jeremy turned to face the new ponies. One of them was a serious looking old stallion and the other was an over the top happy young mare. “Hello! My name is Sugar Rush!” The young mare yelled. ‘I wonder why.’ Jeremy giggled. The mare pointed her arm to the elder stallion. “This is my dad Extra Terrestrial!” The stallion waved his hoof. ‘ET? Ironic.’ Jeremy smiled and stepped towards them. “Hey. I'm Jeremy Fitzgerald.” He took Sugar’s hoof and shook it, the. Did the same to ET, who quickly wrote down something on a sheet of paper attacked to a clipboard. “I hope you don’t mind me asking, but where are you from?” ET said in a husky voice. “I'm from Earth, but I was born in a country called America. More specifically, the United States of America. USA for short, or just the States.” ET quickly wrote stuff down, probably about Murica’ and looked back to Jeremy. “Do you happen to have any cool stuff? Like a laser gun or a spaceship?!” Sugar asked. “No, but I have something that would probably be cool for me to show you.” Jeremy said. The mares eyes widened and she smiled. “Please!” She pleaded. “I really shouldn’t, its really awesome.” The mare pleaded more. “Please please please pleeeeeeaaaaase!!!” Forget Sugar Rush, it should be Tear Rush. “Fine.” Jeremy took out his gun, making sure the safety was on and showed it to the ponies. “This is a gun. Or a firearm.” Jeremy dropped the magazine out and took out a bullet. “These are bullets. This gun fires them at a high speed with the intent to kill or injure.” The mare seemed un-fazed by this unlike any of the other ponies who hear about guns. “Can I ask you something now?” The ponies nodded. “Why are you allowed to keep all this in public? Shouldn't it be in the pony equivalent of Area 51? Or at least in the castle?” ET nodded no. “The Princesses deemed them safe and allowed us to put them on display after the scientists in the castle studied them. They didn't get much due to the technology being way too advanced but I've learned a lot from being around half the stuff in here.” Jeremy nodded and pointed out the window. “Could you get that working?” The ponies looked and shrugged. “Yeah. It already is in perfect condition. We just couldn't find a way to make anything work.” Jeremy nodded in thought until a theoretical lightbulb exploded and caused World War 3 above his head. If you could help me move it to our building I could allow you to take a look at some of the spare cameras and endo skeletons we keep around.” The ponies nodded and walked outside with Jeremy. ET charged up a long range teleport spell and asked Jeremy for the street the building was on. “Oh… It's on Luna Avenue.” In an almost blindingly bright light, the AT-ST was gone. The ground stared the walk to Freddys. More questions were asked than steps taken. Once they arrived they found the AT-ST the way They found it next to the building on the right side of the path leading to the front door. The perfect spot. “Hold on.” Jeremy ran inside the temporarily closed pizzeria and came back out dragging and endoskeleton with a camera’s support stand in his mouth. “Here.” He said after he took the camera out of his mouth. “I might need these back.” ET immediately examined closely the camera and Sugar jut stared in awe at the skeleton. “Oh! I almost forgot.” Jeremy reached into his pocket and took out 50 or so bits and handed it to the ponies. “It's not much, but I hope it covered the cost for the AT-ST.” Sugar looked at him and used her magic to grab the money, then looked to the walker. “AT-ST?” She giggled. “I always called it the chicken.” ET teleported the items back to the lab/museum and turned to Jeremy. “Thank you Mr. Fitzgerald. This could seriously benefit Equestrian technology. Jeremy closed his eyes and smiled. “Just call me Jeremy.” He opened his eyes again. “And thank YOU for this magnificent piece of my planets culture.” With that the ponies were off, and Jeremy could finally start his devious plan. Climbing onto the roof of the building he noticed the taken apart Springtrap suit laid across the roof accompanying blood. ‘Ill have to tell the Princess about this when I'm done.’ Jeremy was worried, but then realized he was going to have all the equipment they would need to finish off that jelly bagel grape wine toast fucker MLG dank Kush marriage ruining needle fearing fucktard once and for all. Jumping across the gap and grabbing on to the top of the walked he called upon the mighty gods of upped body strength the climbed onto the top of the walker. Opening the top hatch he climbed into the dark cabin. “Alright, power source is close. Just need a battery of something…” Jeremy took the flashlight off his belt and shined it around the cabin until he sought eyes on a small switch next to a soft orange blinking light. The button had a lightning bolt on it, the universal sign of electricity. “Jackpot.” He said as he pushed the button. A soft whirring of hear behing him opened up a small shelf containing two large modified car batteries that were connected to the walked by a number of different cords. At least 4 cords per battery. Disconnecting all of them and taking the batteries out the orange light stopped completely. ‘Must have been just enough juice in these to keep that going.’ Jeremy thought as the climbed out of the walker, batteries in hand. He hopped back across to the roof and proceeded over to the solar panels. Placing the batteries down he looked around for some loose electrical wire or metal. There was an odd key shaped slot in the top of the battery and had a small charge meter on each. He found 3 metal paper clips on the roof and picked up two and walked over to the walker. “Please don’t kill me, okay logic?” Jeremy asked the common sense god as he stuck the two paper clips into the rectangular hole in each battery. 1 for each hole. “Alright, now the toasty time.” Jeremy walked over to the panels and found a spare set of alligator clips. “Perfect. This is all so perfect.” The clips were connected directly to a solar panel, on that was connected to the rest. The electrical hotspot. Once again, perfect. Managing to connect the clips to the paper clip, he walked over to the electrical box next to the solar panel hive-mind. “Alright Jeremy, time to use your extensive learning to flip one switch.” He said as he opened the panel. “This is too simple.” Jeremy said as he stared blankly at the panel. 3 switches for 3 options. ‘Having multiple on splits power I guess.’ Jeremy thought. ‘Clamps, Building and Off. Oh wow so elaborate.’ Jeremy thought as he flipped off building and turned on clamps. The hum of electricity reached his ears as he closed the box again. Looking over to the battery he saw it was working perfectly, in fact, it was soaking up power like dirt soaks up water. It was practically full by the time he reached it. When it was full he cautiously moved it to the second until it was full. He flipped the switches back to building and used a stick to take out the paper clips. Don’t want to get fried now do we. The batteries were toasty, but he nevertheless grabbed them and climbed back into the walker. “Alright…” He said has he stuck the batteries back into position and hooked up all the words again. Flicking the power switch the panel closed. A good sign. He sat down in the operatos seat and opened the hatch. “Oh my god this is  the best.” He looked around at the (surprisingly) small amount of controls and found the power switch on the top of the cabin along with a large lever. Flipping the switch he heard the engines of the walker heat up. “So awesome.” He grabbed the horizontal switch and slowly pulled it down, the cabin lights turning on and everything activating. A small screen between the two seats started to display AT-ST system statuses.

“Show time.” Jeremy stuck his hands on the joy stick and the walked jolted up to full height. ‘Oh… I should probably watch my step too.’ Jeremy thought and pushed forwards on the joystick. The walker moved forwards and Jeremy almost cried at the beauty. Pushing the stick to the left the walkers head looked down the street, the scared looks from ponies was what he mostly noticed. Pushing the stick straight the ‘waist’ gyro rotated and moved the legs to the direction of the head. ‘And now, WE RIDE!’ He though in awesomeness and started humming the imperial march as he stomped his way into town. “WHO A PUSH OVER NOW?” Jeremy was probably going power hungry just being inside a damn magic was machine. Approaching the castle walls he realized he probably should stop going insane and be normal before the ponies blew him up. The royal guards immediately got angry determined faces once he got in eye range of the guards. He leaned forwards to the hatch and yelled through it. “Hey guys! It just me! Open the gate please!” The guards were confused but opened the gate either way. Walking into the courtyard he found all his friends and… DOLL?! Jeremy's eyes widened. As did his friends. Rotating in the chair he stood up and opened the hatch. “HOLY JESUS!” Jeremy was exited to say the least. Him and Doll were friends, but just friends. Mike let him know daily. Every was gathered around a picnic basked and sitting on blankets. Jermey climbed down the walker and ran over to the group. “JERMEY WERE DID YOU GET THAT SICK FUCKING WALKED?!” Mike, Scott and Doll all yelled out at the same time.

“That doesn't matter! Where did you find Doll?!” Doll laughed. “I was in the woods and I geuss the ponies already met you guys. They brought Mike to me ask well… I've never felt happier except when we got married.” Everybody stared at Doll and Mike. “Group hug!” Jermey yelled and then that's exactly what happened. Everyone sat down, funny happy conversations later Mike asked about the AT-ST. “There was this weird alien technology museum, it was outside when I found the building. I have the ponies there some spare tech we had lying around and they gave me this. Then I just used the solar power and charged the battery's.” Everyone was happy. It was a great day. Everyone laid on their back, staring at the clouds. “Scott how are you holding up?” Jeremy asked. Scott looked over to him. “I'm okay. I just wish we would've caught whoever became and axe murderer.” Scott said. “Someone must be a human racist.” Mike joked around. “That one looks like a tank.” Fritz said, pointing at the slightly tank shaped cloud. “True.” Jeremy said. “That one looks like an AT-ST.” Doll said, pointing to the AT-ST. “Hey that reminds me. You guys and gal wanna go for a ride?” Jeremy asked. Everyone shot up like they were on crack and nodded vigorously. “Alright, Chris your co-pilot.” Chris nodded and they all stood up and walked over to the walker. Jeremy and Chris climbed up first and took seats inside the walker. Scott climbed up and peeked inside. “Hey guys I don’t thing theres enough room in there for one more of us.” Scott said as Jeremy started thinking on his stupid error of sitting spots. “Just sit on the roof, its spacious and the walkers kinda slow unless we put it into over drive.” Scott nodded and closed the hatch and helped the rest of the merry bunch on to the walker. “Do the guns work?” Mike asked. “I don’t think that's a good thing to ask in the capital city of the most developed species on this planet.” Doll said and lightly punched Mike. “Oh shit yeah.” Mike sat down facing the direction of the walker. “Where too?” Jeremy asked after showing Chris the controls. “Uh…” Everyone though. “Somewhere to eat?” Chris asked with  no objections. “Alright then.” Jeremy opened his hatch and turned on the walker. “This is gonna end horribly isn't it?” Scott asked.

“Yeah.”

“Definitely.”

“Oh yeah, 100%.”

“Maybe…”

“I shouldn't have opened my damn mouth.” Scott said, as the walked proceeded out into the dark streets of Canterlot.
