Why do I like robots

I picked up the letter and read it, “Dear Tinker, I messaged Celestia earlier today to see if I can try to hypnotize her. She just recently wrote to me and said that I could try, that ponies said that she needed to relax. I was wondering if you could come with me to Canterlot to support me when I try to hypnotize her. If so, meet me at the station before the next train leaves.”

I ran to my workshop, grabbed my watch, some bits, and the list of colors I’ll be needing for starry’s charm, then I ran out the door, barely missing someponies that was walking outside the house. After a few quick apologies, I took off towards the train station.

When I got to the station, I looked for Twilight, but couldn’t see her through the crowd of ponies, then I heard somepony said, “So, you came to help.”

I nearly jumped out of my skin as I turned around. Twilight was standing behind me smiling, with her bag on her back. I sighed and said, “Twilight, you had to scare me, couldn’t you have just tapped me on the shoulder or something?”

Twilight looked up as if she was thinking about it and said, “No, let’s hurry, the train should be leaving soon.” As if on cue, the train’s whistle went off. Twilight and I took off for the train.

I managed to grab on the back of the train as it was leaving. Twilight jumped, and I grabbed her to pull her on. The force from me grabbing her and the train going felt like it was going to rip me in two, but I’m glad it didn’t and I was able to pull us on board. I open the door to see that it was empty. I sat down and started to catch my breath. Twilight was sitting across from me looking through her papers and muttering to herself. After catching my breath, I noticed one of the papers was still in her bag. I pulled it out and saw that it was her hypnosis sheet when I hypnotized her. I looked up and said, “Since it will be a while, why don’t we continue working on your testing.”

She looked up and said as she straightened her papers out, “Sure, I need to relax for this to work anyways.”

I have the heart to tell her that the one being hypnotized is the one that needs to relax, but she may be right. I pulled out my pocket watch and started swinging it back and forth. It less time than last time. Once Twilight was asleep on the floor and I locked the door that connects this car to the rest of the train, I said, “ When I count to three, you won’t remember anything, except the basic functions. One feeling good, two, feeling great, three, wide wake.”

Twilight got off the ground and looked around with a confused look, a few seconds later, her expression changed from confused to frightened. She said as she huddled in the chair across from me, “W-who are you, who am I, where am I?”

She looked kinda cute how she was, scared of everything, confused, and how she was curled up in a ball. She would’ve asked more questions, but reached out for her and she looked like she was trying to shrink into the chair. I smiled and said, “Sleep.” She fell asleep still curled up. I walked up to her and unraveled her so that she was sitting normally. I thought about what to do next as I wrote down what happened. There are a few possible ideas to do, but I don’t know what to do first. I decided that I pick it up later after Twilight hypnotizes Celestia, that might give me ideas. I said as I put the paper back in twilight’s bag, “When I count to three, you will remember everything. One, feeling good and getting motion in your fingers, two, getting the feeling in your body, three, wide awake and feeling relaxed.”

Twilight got up and stretched out her legs as she said, “Thanks, Tinker.”

We talked for a bit, then when the conductor said that we were getting close to Canterlot. We got off and headed to the castle. It was slightly uncomfortable that we weren’t stopped by guards. We walked into the throne room to see Celestia sitting on the throne without any guards. When she saw us, she smiled and said, “Hello, I take it you’re here to help Twilight with her experiment.”

I nodded and said, “Yeah, where are the guards?”

She said as she got off the throne and teleported three comfy chairs, “I gave them the time off so that we don’t get interrupted by them to stop Twilight from hypnotizing me.”

I nodded and started walking around, looking closely at the art and structure design, and barely listening to Twilight guide Celestia into hypnosis. After a few minutes of looking around, I turned back to the mares and started wishing I had a camera. Celestia was her hand and knees, panting. I whistled and Celestia’s ears perk up, then she started to run towards me. I got my knees and held her when she got close, then she rolled on her back. I started to rub her stomach, her fur felt softer than anypony’s.

After a few minutes of playing with her. Twilight continued with the experiment. We kept it going for an hour or two, then we woke Celestia and took our leave. As I was about to walk out, Celestia said, “Tinker, may I have a word with you in private.”

I took a quiet gulp and said as I calmed myself, “Sure.” When Twilight left, I added, “what do you need to talk about?”

She said as she headed another door, “I was just going to say that you could come visit and maybe hypnotize me since you helped Twilight get over her fear of asking me to do something that is seen to be beneath me.”

I nodded and left to get the colors, then I headed to a store that was slightly hidden. I grabbed ropes, cuffs, and collar and leash, then I paid the mare working there and headed out.

When I got home, mom was talking to Vinyl. When she saw me, she said, “Tinker, glad you could make it for dinner. I was just catching up with Vinyl.”

Vinyl turned to me and said, “Hey Tinker, how have you been. I came to ask for a two necklaces, one for me and one for Octavia.”

I nodded and said, “I’m fine, how are you and Octavia. I’m guessing you want your two cutie mark. Your’s and a treble clef?” I gestured at her shirt, which had her cutie mark on it.”

She nodded and said, “Yeah, We’re fine, just finding ways to mix our music together.”

I nodded and said as I headed to my workshop, “K, will be done in a few days. Nice see you again.”

I headed down the stair to finish up Starry’s request and maybe figure out how to trick her to hypnotized her.
