Why do I like robots

The next day, Ivy went home, while finishing the charm for Starry, but I don’t know where I’m supposed to take it, she didn’t give me a place to meet her. I got up, checked my colors to see that I have the colors to make Vinyl’s and Octavia’s charm. I got a new shirt on and said as I passed mom, “I'll be home later, just need to find the pony that I made a charm for.

Mom turned around and said while waving a spoon in my direction, “Just be sure that you home for dinner, or won’t let you do your testing.” I froze and turned around. Mom was smiling, then she added, “For Twilight, she asked you to hypnotize her. I arranged her to come here to do the testing.”

I sighed and said, “Oh, that. Okay, like I said, all I have to do is walk around down and find this pony to give her charm to.” I headed outside and sighed, I thought that she meant my technology testing that I’ve been doing on her, Luna, Bon Bon, and Button’s mom. I quickly left the front door and headed to the main part of town. I was looking through the crowd for Starry, then I saw her standing in an alley talking with a pony. I walked up to them and cleared my throat.

Starry whispered something, turned to me, and said as the pony ran the other way, “Tinker, what are you doing here.”

I held up the charm and said as I put a swing in it, “I was looking for you to give this to you.”

Starry watched it and said as she reached out for the charm, “Oh, can you stop swinging that, you’re giving me a headache.”

I pulled it away and said, “Remember our deal, you watched me make your charm and I get to hypnotize you.”

Starry sighed and said, “Fine, you can try, but if it doesn’t work, I get the charm and get to go.”

I started swinging it back and forth and said, “Focus on the charm as it swings back and forth, with each swing you feel more and more relaxed until your body feels relaxed.”

She watched the charm swing back and forth as she sat down and leaned against the wall and said, “I’m not feeling relaxed, I’m just sitting down to get off my feet.

I nodded and said, “As it swings back and forth, your eyelids begin to feel heavier and heavier, until you can no longer keep them open, and I’m going to count from three and I say sleep, you will fall twice as deep.”

Starry kept nodding off, closing her and dropping her head, then raised it back up.

I took that as a sign to continue, I said as I started to lower the charm, “Three, two, one, Sleep.” Her head dropped onto her chest and her arms fell to her side. I was about to say something when I noticed a green flame dancing around her. I only heard about it from Twilight and her friends, but I knew that it was the same flame that changelings have when they change or shed their disguises. I thought about running away, but something was stopping me, I don’t know what was stopping me. After the flames had died, a different pony was laying there asleep. The skin was a dark gray, her mane was close to aqua blue, her horn was a little messed, like it was chipped in a few places, her feet and wings had holes in them, and she had what looked like a shell on her back. I walked up to her and nudged her, ready to run the other way if she was faking it. She swayed a little but didn’t wake up. I sighed, pulled Chrysalis out of view, and headed home.

I opened the door to see mom still cooking dinner. I quietly headed upstairs to where Robo was. I said as I grabbed the controller, “I need you to come with me, I think I found something hard to explain if anyone finds out.”

Robo looked at me and said, “Ok, I’ll follow.” I led Robo to where I left Chrysalis. Robo kneeled down beside her and said as he looked up at me and produced a small tweezer, “I would suggest that you take control of her.”

I shook my head no and said, “Mom and her friend were different. Button asked for his mom to be controlled. You controlled Luna. Chrysalis is different, she is a leader of an army that might match the royal guards, and I don’t want to be called a traitor for controlling her and the army. I might be banned or thrown into Tartarus.

Robo came up and said, “You don’t have to control the army. If you don’t make her go back, they would think that she’s captured or dead. She might help you with the charms.”

I thought about it and said, “Just put the chip and wake her up. I’ll decide later if I want her or not.” Robo said nothing and nodded. I headed home since it was almost time for dinner.

When I got home, mom was leaning against the counter, with her arms crossed and a stern look on her face. I gulped and said, “Hey mom, how’s dinner going.”

She walked up to me and said, “Did you forget something?”

I looked at her with a confused look, I remembered to do everything, so what is the problem. Maybe I forgot to clean the dishes out of my workshop, or maybe I forgot the dirty clothes. Mom broke my concentration, when she said, “Your birthday is in a few days.”

It dawned on me. I’ve been worried about others and how to go about hiding the control from ponies that I forgot that my birthday was coming up. I nodded and said, “Yeah, I forgot about that.”

Mom turned off the stove walked up to me, and said, “I have a surprise for you on your birthday.”

I nodded and said as I grabbed some dinner, “I can’t wait.” We ate dinner in peace and I headed downstairs to get started on the charms.
