I woke up and looked at my alarm clock, it was 6:15 in the morning. I sighed and got up. As I was getting dressed, Chrysalis walked in and said as she placed papers near a picture frame, ‘You got some more requests on charms, a pony wants some help on a robot they are trying to build, and two ponies would like to have you hypnotize them to help on their problems.”

I nodded and said as I pulled my pants on, “Okay, just wait for me in the workshop. I need to get a few things done. “

Chrysalis walk out as she shut the door behind her. I got up and grabbed the papers. After looking at the papers, I picked up the picture and smiled. It was Bon Bon, button's mom, Chrysalis, Luna, mom, and I standing around my bed. All were naked except mom and Luna, who were in their maid outfits. I can't believe that it was five years ago.

I shook myself out of memory when I heard the bell downstairs. I threw the picture on my bed and hurried down the stair. I got down there to see Luna was standing there. I jumped over the counter and said as I hugged Luna, “Hey Luna, what brings you to a small shop.

She said as she hugged back, “Just had some time off and needed to get away from Celestia.” As we broke apart, she said as she reached into her pocket out a small bag, “I almost forgot to give you this. I don’t know why Celestia even bothered since I got back five years ago.”

I opened it up to see a handful of bits. I looked up and said as I put them into the cash register, “Don’t know, maybe paying me to come down and help her out.”

She looked around and said, “So, you run this business by yourself?”

I nodded and said, “Why don’t we head out and visit? It would be better than standing here and chatting.” I reached down and pulled out a sign that read, “Closed on royalty business.”

Luna looked at it and said, “Did you always have that sign, or did you get it recently.”

I placed it on the door and said as I held the door open for Luna, “I always had it just in case.” I didn’t say that I use it for Chrysalis since she is royalty. Luna walked out and I locked the door behind me.

As we were walking through Ponyville, I saw a few ponies wearing my charms, most were sleeping, and other walked around, almost in a dazed-like way. After a few minutes. Luna said, “So, what’s been going on these past five years?”

I said as I stopped for a pony to go by, “Ivy went somewhere for work, mom moved in with Bon Bon, Button went to college, Applebloom, Sweetie, and Scootaloo are the same, even wanted to try to make their own charm. I had to fix it. I think that’s all that happen.” I left out that I’m using a mindless Chrysalis as a way to make sure a charm would fit, see the pony’s body, make sure I get the actual cutie mark and have a little fun with her. Then I added as I steered her towards a small diner, “How’s it been in Canterlot?”

As we sat down, Luna sighed and said as we got our drinks, “Stressful, for the first few months, I had to learn about what I missed when I was with you. Got a special somepony?”

I almost choked at the question, I said as I placed the drink down, “No, I’m just a charm maker. By the way, have you seen Robo around?”

Luna shook her head and said as she leaned on the table, “No, I haven’t. Really, I thought a nice handsome stallion like you would be asked on a date by now.”

From the force that Luna put on the table made it flipped towards her, I said as I grabbed the side to make it not hit her, “Stop, you’re going to make me blush.” I didn’t mention that I’ve been asked out but turned them down.

After apologizing to the owner of the diner, and paying for the damage. I took Luna back to the train, then I headed back home to get some work done. When I got there, I noticed Fluttershy reading the sign, with Angel on her shoulder. I walked up to her and said, “Hey Fluttershy, here for your appointment.”

She jumped, making Angel fall and had to cling to her shirt, and said, “Yeah, Angel didn’t like what happened, so he came to make sure it goes well and no mistakes.”

I nodded and picked up Angel. He glared at me, but after petting his head, he calmed down. I opened the door and said as I placed Angel on the ground, “I’m guessing you already know where to go. I’ll meet you there.”

Fluttershy nodded and headed to another room, followed by Angel. I grabbed the sign off the door and placed one that read, “Helping someone right now, please leave a request on paper, or wait patiently.” on the counter, then I grabbed the pocket watch and headed up the stairs. I passed by my workshop to see Chrysalis disguised as a mannequin. I closed the door and went into the third room.

I walked in to see Angel holding a few papers on my desk with Fluttershy saying, “Angel, I don’t think it’s wise to look at others papers. Their problem isn’t something we should be nosy about.”

I was about to say something, then Angel reached into my desk and picked up a messed up charm that I recognize as the one that Applebloom tried to make. I’m not sure why I kept it. Then Fluttershy said, “Yeah, that is lovely, but could you stop swinging it.” I watched as Fluttershy grew more and more relax. I walked up to Angel and stopped it as Fluttershy closed her eyes, then I said as I took the charm out of Angel’s paws, “That was an interesting for a first time. Let me finish up as you write down some idea for changes or something that she needs help with.” I walked up to Fluttershy and said, “Fluttershy, how are you feeling?”

She said in a sleepy tone, “I feel relaxed and sleepy.”

I nodded and said, “I'm going to count down from three and with each number, you will fall deeper. Three, two, one.” I felt a tug and looked to see Angel holding a piece of paper. I read the suggestion and made a few alterations to the ones I made. Then I said as I was done, “When I, and only I say pet, you will think, act, and behave as a well-trained pet. When I say pony, you will return to being yourself, and have no memory of what took place after I said pet.” I felt another tug. I looked to see Angel pointing to himself as if saying that he wants to be able to do himself. I shook my head and said, “I’m not giving you that much control over her. If you did it too many times, she will catch on. Just be grateful for what I did.” Then I woke her up and said goodbye to both of them.

After they were gone. I headed into my workshop to get started on my work.
