After getting the coffee going, I got in the shower to get started on the day. The warm water running over my body felt nice as if I haven’t showered in a long time. After getting out of the shower, I got dressed and headed down to my workshop. As I opened the door, the smell of oil and smoke filled my nose and made my eyes water. I raced down there to see what happened. Robo’s chest was on fire and smoke filled the room. I looked at mom to see that she was still sleeping as if there wasn’t a fire near her. I quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher from under the bed and sprayed it on the fire. When the smoke cleared and the fire was out. I looked inside Robo’s chest. The crystal had a burn mark on it but was intact, wires were cut or mixed, oil was leaking out of under the crystal. I pulled out the controller and turned it on for Luna. I heard her footsteps. She opened the door and walked downstairs. Her hair was tangled up, as always, her eyes were barely open, enough to see where she was going. I grabbed my earpiece and said as I turned it on, “Luna take mom to her room and see if you can wake her up.” She walked over and picked mom up. Her hair fell across her face as she bent down. I turned back to Robo and started fixing the wires. After I was done with that I replaced Robo’s eye, patched up the oil, and fixed the metal, then he looked like he was never beaten up. I hit him in the chest with a piece of metal as hard as I could. His eyes blinked to life and he looked around. I said as I sat down, “What happened to you?”

Robo looked around and said with a shrug of his shoulders, “I can’t remember what happened, but I remember the reason why I’m here.”

I pulled sat down and said, ‘“So, what’s the reason? I need you to look at mom, and would like to take you up on your offer, but I want to make some changes.”

Robo sat up on the table and said, “In the future, many robots are made and are broken often. You and the pony that sent me are the top repair and manufacture of robots. He wants to be the only top, so he sent me back to find you and take you out of the race. What happened and what kind of changes?”

I told him what happened and said,
“I want the chip, but I need the remote. So I give them the freedom I want them to have, and I don’t need the earpiece.”

He nodded and said, “I’m guessing that you hit her hard enough to jolt the chip inside her to discharge a small volt to knock her out she’s fine. You do know that with the chip, they do whatever you think.”

I nodded and then he pulled out the needle and jammed it into my arm. The pain was sharp, then I was out like a light. I felt like I was laying in the water, ever slowly moving, occasionally a wave of something crashed on my then disappeared. Then I felt the world shake. I tried to wake myself up, but it felt like moving through honey or molasses. Then I felt a sharp pain across my face. I bolted up and said as I tried to stand, “It’s done? How long was I out?”

Robo sighed with relief and said, “An hour, after I put it in you started twitching. I’ve been trying to wake you.”

I grabbed the controller and thought about what to do, I could have Luna come down in that maid outfit to see if it work. Before I knew it, Luna was standing there in a maid outfit a little small on her. I was stunned, then I looked down to see that I selected Luna without thinking. I thought about Luna getting dress and accompanying me to see Twilight. She turned around and left. I looked down my shirt to see that I had oil and coffee stains on it. I walked up the stairs to change my shirt and grabbed my shirt. Luna was still getting her shirt on. I thought about her holding still so I can help with the shirt. Her body grew stiff with one arm and the top of her head sticking out of the shirt. I walked up and lifted her other arm through the hole and pulled down the shirt. Her eyes stared straight at me, then I noticed that when I have control, that her eyes get a dull color as if there isn’t any life in them. I bent down and fixed her shirt. As I was walking out the door, I turned it off and said, “Do you want to accompany me to visit Twilight. I have some questions for her.”

Luna shook her head and said, “Sure, I’ll come along. Have I met her before.”

I walked to the door and said, “Yes you have. She was at Lyra’s birthday party. Can you wait for me at the front door?” She opened her mouth, then closed it and nodded. I headed into my workshop and grabbed Luna’s necklace out of the box, then I headed upstairs. Luna was standing next to the door, I walked up and said as I placed it in her hands, “I made this for you.”

She looked at the front and back, then she looked up at me and said as she placed it around her neck, “Thank you, for this and everything you did for me.” The necklace went a little past her shirt line, with the moon facing up.

I opened the door and said as I held the door open, “Mares first.”

She smiled and said as she walked through the door, “How nice, does this have anything to do with me having a supposedly a princess as my sister?”

I said in a sarcastic but serious term as I followed her, “No, why would I do it for that reason? I can be nice when I want to be.”

We walked through town taking in the smells, and the sights. It seems like I have been outside of the house in months, but I came out yesterday. I was really lost in thought that I walked into Twilight’s door. I grabbed the knocker and pounded it while rubbing my nose. The pounding echoed throughout the castle, it sounded like the whole castle was vibrating, then it stopped when someone opened the door. I looked at the door to see spike standing there, he was a few inches shorter than me, but a lot stronger than me. I smiled and he said as if he was annoyed or something was bugging him, “I suppose you are here to see Twilight and how’s the business?”

I nodded and said, “Yeah, I have some questions about the mind and magic on the brain and the business is going great.”

He opened the door wider and said the next part with a little venom, “I can see that when I visited Rarity. Twilight is with Starlight Glimmer in the library.”

I smiled and said, “Thanks, Spike.” As I walked past him, I felt him glaring at me, I didn’t know why he was like that, but I shrugged it off as if it was that he was having a bad day. I lead Luna to the Library. When I got there, I heard voices talking about friends. I walked in to see Twilight and Starlight looking at a couple books on the table, completely engrossed in the topic. I waited patiently until they were done, then it struck me on how that’s not a great idea.

I walked up and cleared my throat, they both looked at me and Luna that was almost hiding behind my back. Twilight stood up and said, “Tinker, Luna, I didn’t know you were coming.” Then she turned to Starlight and said, “Starlight, could you give us a few minutes?”

She stood up and said, “Sure.” As she was walking out, I looked at the books that were on the table, they were mostly on different places and spells.

Twilight walked up to me and said, “Tinker, what can I help you with?”

I turned to her and said, “I was wondering, since you’re a bookworm and read all these books, do you have a book of spells that work on the mind. I can’t do it since I’m not a unicorn, I’m just curious.”

Twilight looked up as if she was thinking, then she said, “I have a few books on the subject of that.” I was shocked when books came flying off the shelf, but then a book on the table. The table shuddered like it was going to break. As I was looking through the book, Twilight said as she placed the books away, “This is has everything that the other books have, from remembering a memory, seeing somepony’s memory, controlling a pony’s mind, and making a pony’s mind go blank, but most of those can only be done by an advanced unicorn or alicorn since it takes a lot of magic.”

I felt the remote in my pocket and said, “a spell that makes a pony’s mind go blank, which page is that on.” Twilight flipped the pages and it landed on the page. As I was looking at it, I accidently turned the controller on and thought about how long does it last if Luna cast it on Twilight. Then I look at Luna to see she firing a spell at Twilight. It hit her between the eyes, She looked startled, but then relax as if nothing happened. I walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder and she didn’t move, then I went to the book and read about the spell. It says that it varies on the pony, and not to try it on infants. I didn’t question on why I shouldn’t do it on infants, but why does it vary, maybe it varies cause of age, magical abilities, genetics, or maybe race. I turned to Luna and said, “Why did you cast the spell,

Luna said as if it was obvious, “You told me to cast it on Twilight to see how long it last.” I sat down at the table and started pounding my head against the table, then something happened that made my heart drop and fear rise up. I heard the door creak up, I stood up, turned to the door, and saw Twilight’s friends standing there in shock.
