Why do I like robots

It has been a few weeks after I graduated from high school. Celestia has kept her two promises, we’ve been getting paid, and a doctor came out to see how Luna’s doing. She hasn’t gotten any better.

I woke up to Luna sitting next to me, asleep. Her head on her chest. I smiled, she has been doing this for a while, sitting next to me and watching me sleep. I asked her why she does that and she just told me that she has a bad feeling that something’s going to happen to me. I looked at the calendar and saw that tomorrow is mom’s birthday. I picked up Luna, and placed her in bed, and pulled the blanket on her, then I went to my workbench and started working on the necklace. I was adding the finishing touch to it when I got an idea. I placed the necklace back in the drawer and went to the computer room. I got on the computer and played a few games.

When I was about noon, I got off and mom was sitting at the table. She looked up and said, “Morning honey, how was your game?”

I said as I grabbed the leftovers out and placed them in a bowl and heated it up, “Okay, I have beaten it already. I’m just collecting stuff and leveling up. I’m going to be heading to Canterlot.”

She nodded and said, “Okay. just be safe.”

I nodded and grabbed the bowl and went to the computer room. I placed the bowl down and message Button. I typed, “Hey Button, how are you? Are you enjoying your mother?”

I had a few bites before getting a message, “Fine. I’m enjoying controlling her. She next to me kneeling, waiting for a command.”

I typed after placing the bowl down, “Do you have any plans today?”

He replied, “No, why do you ask?”

I typed, “I was wondering if you and your mom would like to come with me to Canterlot, I need to ask Celestia something.” I finished up my lunch and placed the bowl down.

He replied as I stood up, “Sure, Haven’t gone outside for a while, I don’t have my mom telling me to go outside.”

I typed, “Meet me here, I need to show you something and no, it doesn’t have to do anything with the controller.” I pushed my chair in and took the bowl out of the room and placed it in the sink. I said as I went upstairs to get ready, “Let’s see, if I have my earpiece in, it’ll look suspicious, as well as Button or I telling her what to do. What am I going to do.”

I heard someone say right behind me, that made me jump, say, “I got a solution.”

I turned around to see Robo standing there. I sighed and said, “Robo, how many times do I have to tell you not to sneak up on me. What is your solution?”

Robo said as I got a new shirt on, “It’s a new chip I made that allows you to take complete control over the pony.”

I turned to him and said, “If you’re suggesting that I take full control of mom or Luna, then you are wrong, that isn’t a solution.

He said after a few minutes, “You already control them enough.”

I shoved him out of the way and walked downstairs. When I got to the last step, there was knocking at the door. I opened it up and saw Button and his mom standing there. With something white on the corner of her mouth. I motioned them to come in and said, “Can you wait for me in the computer room.”

They nodded and headed to the computer room. I took out the controller and looked it over. Mom saw it and said, “What’s that?”

I said as I opened it, “It’s nothing, just something Robo gave me.” I went to Lyra and turned it on. She stopped with her cup close to her mouth. I walked over to her and placed the cup down and across from her, thinking of what Robo said. Is there really a way to have complete control over a pony without anything of them left

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Luna standing there. Her eyes were half closed, indicating that she just woke up. She said as she sat next to me, “What’s wrong, you are usually in a good mood.”

I sighed and said as I turned the controller of, “It’s just what Robo told me.” I walked into the computer room and sat down next to the computer, Button was in the other chair and his mom was kneeling on the ground. I said as I looked at his mom, “Do you have a solution for your mom, without being suspicious?”

Button laughed and said, “You don’t remember the follow setting?”

I completely forgot that we made that. We made it, a few weeks ago, so we can walk around town with Button’s mom following us, but the problem was that she doesn’t respond to anyone talking to her except for one of us, she can’t catch, pick up, or hold stuff. I said, “Yeah, I forgot until now. How has it been working?”

He said as he got up, “It’s working fine. Come one, mom.” As he opened the door, his mom got up and followed him out the front door. I got up grabbed my bag and the necklace and said as I headed out the door, “I’m heading out. see you all tonight.” I shut the door and said as I walked up to Button and his mom, “Let’s go, I want to get something in Canterlot as well as ask a question.”

When we got to the train station, Button said as I paid for the tickets, “It’s great when you’re getting paid for watching Luna.”

I said as we got on and picked a less crowded area, “It’s not all that great, it’s technically my fault that this happen, if I didn’t repair Robo, Luna wouldn’t be this way, mom would still be working, BonBon wouldn’t have a chip in her head, and your mo…”

Button cut me off and said, “Wait, you didn’t tell me about BonBon, when and how did that happen?”

I said as I sat down across from them, “The day after mom, and she walked in and Robo placed a chip in her.”

Button nodded and said, “What do you want to ask Celestia and what did you want to show me?” I pulled the necklace out of my pocket and showed it to him, He looked it over and said, “That’s neat, who is it for and what does that have to do with Celestia?”

I said as I placed it back in my pocket, “It’s for my mom for her birthday tomorrow. I need to ask Celestia about Luna. If I ask Luna, she’ll get suspicious.”

Button nodded and looked at his mom and said, “Do you think Applejack has a collar for Winona and do you think she’ll let me borrow it?”

I thought about it and said, “She probably does, but I don’t think that she will let you borrow it. Why do you ask?”

He said as he looked outside, “I was just wondering, and I’ll send some pictures if it works out.”

I was about to ask what he meant, but the conductor came through the train saying that Canterlot was next. When we got there, I headed straight for the castle. A few guards stopped, but when I explained it, they let me through. I walked into the throne room and bowed before Celestia and said as I stood up, “I have a few question about Luna.”

Celestia nodded and said, “What are these questions and what is in your pocket?” I looked down to see that the chain was sticking out. It levitated out of my pocket and towards Celestia. She said as she looked it over, “It’s beautiful.”

I said as I shifted my weight from one foot to the other, “Thanks, it’s for my mom, Lyra. The questions are what is Luna’s Cutie mark and when is her birthday?”

There was a lot of murmuring through the guards. Celestia said as she levitated the necklace to me, “Her birthday is in two months and mine is in three months. Her cutie mark is a moon, and mine is the sun.”

I pocketed the necklace and said, “Why did you tell me about you? I just wanted to know Luna’s.”

Celestia shrugged and said, “Just some info, just in case. A guard will escort you out of the castle.”

I nodded and a guard came up to me and lead me away from the throne room. When we got out of the castle, he said, “I guess your mom didn’t get rid of you.”

I turned around to ask what he meant, but he was gone. I walked down the steps and joined Button and his mom at a cafe. He said as I sat down, “So, did you get your answers?”

I nodded and said as I placed some bits on the table, “order something for the trip, and just order me whatever drink they have.” I went into a store and bought a small box and some small things of paint. Then I joined Button and his mom at the train paid for the ticket and got on, taking a few gulps of my drink as I looked outside with question buzzing around in my head.
