Why do I like robots

I froze as I looked at her friends standing there. I didn’t know what I can say that would make this look any better, I’m standing here with Luna and Twilight motionless and with a book open to a page about a blank mind spell, could this get any better. I thought about them under the spell, but that would make me look more guilty to have the mane six standing around motionless. Before I knew it, a beam hit them all. I was confused why they were attacked, then I remembered that Luna is under my control and goes by my thoughts. I shut off the controller and sat down. Luna looked around, sat next to me and said, “What happened here, why is everyone standing still?”

I sighed and said, “Because I’m dumb, I can fix robots, but I can’t do anything right. I can’t lie when the truth is almost in front of them, I can’t leave anything alone, I can’t stop messing with things and see how far I can take them before they break.” At that point, I was crying. It felt good to get all that I had off my chest, but I was expecting Luna or anyone else to look at me with disgust at what I do, then something happened that I didn’t expect, I felt something wrap around me.

I opened my eyes to see Luna hugging me. I could hear that she was almost on the edge of tears, “You’re not dumb, just don’t know everything and you’re curious about stuff. Everyone has problems. It’s nothing to beat yourself about.”

I was stunned at first, then I hugged her. After we were done hugging and crying. I wiped my eyes and said, “Can you help me get out of this mess.”

After a few hours of waiting for them to come out of it and explaining that it’s not entirely my fault, just the wrong idea at the wrong time, and persuading Twilight to let me borrow the book for a while, We headed home. As we were heading home, I looked through the book to see what spell can be useful. When we got there, the house was filled with the smell of stew and bread baking. I looked into the kitchen to see mom cooking, I handed the book to Luna and said, “Can you take this upstairs? I have to talk to Robo.”

I headed downstairs to see Robo fixing something. I coughed to show I was there. He turned around and said, “How did it go?”

I sat down on my bed and said, “I don’t want this chip in my head, it caused me nothing but trouble today, I used a spell on Twilight and her friends, I made Luna come down here in mom’s maid outfit, that’s clearly too small for her, and I’m lucky I didn’t swear or that would’ve gone a lot worse.”

Robo nodded and said, “You just need to get used to it, but I’m guessing you haven’t used it enough for the controller to understand commands from thought. The more you use it, the more it syncs with you. I’ll get rid of it for now.” He got up and started walking towards me. The sound of his joints and steps were relaxing, it reminded me of my soldier marching on my bookshelf when I fixed them. I started to realize that I didn’t get a lot of sleep, from attacking mom to getting home from placing a spell on the mane six. I laid down on the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up, Robo was sitting at the desk looking through my list of customers. I looked to my left to see a bowl of stew and a piece of bread in it. I got up and ate the whole thing until there was nothing left in the bowl. I didn’t realize that I was hungry. I looked up to see Robo standing there. He took the bowl and said, “I took the chip out, so now you have to command them.”

As he headed upstairs, I went to the list and saw that Twilight was next, then I remembered hearing something about them getting together in three to four weeks. I quickly checked the list and sure enough, all of them asked for a necklace. I quickly got started on Twilight’s necklace. The outside was going to be indigo, purple, and pink, the inside was going to be lavender, and the lettering was going to be purple. Rainbow’s, her’s was going to be a rainbow along the outer edge, the inside will be cyan, and the lettering will be magenta. Pinkie’s will be hot pink on the outside, light pink on the inside, and the lettering will be light blue. Fluttershy’s will be pink on the outside, yellow on the inside, the lettering will be aqua green. Applejack’s will be light yellow on the outside, orange on the inside, and the lettering will be green. After doing the calculation of the expense for the colors, time it takes to cool, adding the numbers of hours need for sleep, going to the bathroom and eating, it came up with 2-3 day later than the gathering, so I would have to cut something out.

Just when I was thinking about it. There was a knock at the door, I got up and went to see who it is. I opened the door to see Ivy standing there with new clothes on. I could tell because they didn’t have any rips or tears in them and it had Rarity spelled all over it. You could say that it kinda was over the top. She smiled and said, “Hey Tinker, I was just coming over to say thanks for showing me around and was wondering if you need anything or some help.”

That should have made me a bit suspicious, a mare, that I barely met, coming to my home asking if I need help when I need help, but I just pushed that to the side and said as I opened the door even more, “I actually need a some help. You see, I’m doing some necklaces for the mane six, I already did Rarity’s, of course, but I have to make the necklace, paint it, put their name and cutie mark. That all might take a little more than four weeks to do all that. Are you good at machines.”

She smirked and said, “Of course I’m good with machines, I do have three gears as my cutie mark. I guess I shouldn’t have said that.”

I smiled and lead her to the workshop. She went over the machine, then said as she picked up my metal box, “What’s in here? Something embarrassing or maybe something valuable?”

I said as I took the box away from her, “It’s where I’m keeping my money from this job, and when I have enough money, I’m moving this out and into my own business. By the way, are you wanting to be paid, or are you going to do it for free?” I smiled and said joking, “Or do you want goods or service?”

She smiled and said, “Surprise me, I don’t really care what I get.”

An idea popped into my head and I said as I sat down and tossed her a helmet, “I got an idea on what you get. Let’s get started on Twilight’s, and go from there.”
