I turned to Robo and said, “Why is there maid outfits?

Robo turned to me and said, “They might want them, plus I can’t take them back.

I walked up to him and was about to say something, but there was a knock at the door. I glared at him and walked downstairs. When I opened the door, my heart dropped. Button was standing there, standing next to the door, as mom was on the ground, unconscious. He turned to me and said, “I don’t know what happened, we were talking and then her eyes rolled in the back of her head and then she collapsed. I swear I didn’t do anything.”

I looked at the stairs, Robo was making a whistling sound. I wondered how he made that without a mouth. Then I turned back to the main problem. I said as I passed Button, “Head inside and sit at the table. I need to see something.”

Then I heard his foot heading into the house after a few minutes of quiet. I bent down and placed in the sitting position. I check her breathing, pulse, and then picked her up and walked into the house. As I kicked the door shut, I looked at Robo. He shrugged then walked up the stairs. Then I placed mom in the computer room. I walked into the kitchen and sat down with a sigh. Button held out some paper and the mail, then he said as I took them, “What is going on here, why are you getting letters from Celestia, and why…

I said cutting him off, “Slow down, I’m getting paid to watch Luna and the reason is kinda not something I want to get out.”

Button nodded and said, “What’s the reason, I won’t tell, I promise.”

I sighed and said, “Fine, but I will hold you to it. Come, but don’t do anything and do you want pizza.

He said as he followed me to the computer room, “Why did you ask if I wanted some pizza?”

I said as I went to the computer and plugged it in, “Cause we have some pizza in the fridge. If not just sit down and watch, then I will have Robo answer your questions, I’ll have to check on Luna after this is done.” I turned to the computer, didn’t bother checking if Button sat down or went to get pizza, turned on the computer. It did it usual blank screen, then shows the names. I click on mom’s name and typed in, Say who you are and greet Button as master then kneel by me and stared at the corner at the wall.

I turned around to see mom standing up, turning to Button, who was sitting there, and said, “Hello master, my name is Lyra Heartstrings.” Then she kneeled beside me.

Button had his mouth open in shock, then when he found his voice, he said, “W-what just happened, are you controlling her?”

I said as I got up and walked out of the room, “Robo is going to answer any question, except what I do.”

I turned to the bathroom to see Robo standing there. He said as he walked out of the bathroom, “I see that you are getting used to it, even though it’s almost been a week.”

I shrugged and said, “I want him to know, so don’t try anything, and please don’t put a chip in him.” Then I walked upstairs and into my room.

Luna was still sleeping peacefully. I tucked the box into my closet and walk over to her. I sat down next to her and brushed her hair from her face. Then I heard the pounding of footsteps and Button burst into my room. He said as he was catching his breath, “You can control them and they will do whatever you want!? That is awesome, just like a simulation, but real life.” Is that Princess Luna? Wow, the rumors are true, you are taking care of her.”

I got up and started pushing Button out of the room and said, “It’s not all that seems. Robo has a tendency to do stuff behind my back.”

Button said after a few minutes, “Could I try it on my mom?”

I was shocked, and said just to make sure I heard it correctly, “Could you say that again, I just want to make sure I heard you right.”

He looked at me and said, “You heard me, I want to control my mom. Robo said it will be fine, but I have to ask you first. So can I try it on mom?”

I sighed, when he gets an idea, he sticks with it, then I said, “Fine, but no changing anything about her.”

He walked downstair and said, “Why would I change anything about her, I’m fine with how she is.”

I mumbled to myself, “Everyone has something we hate. No one’s perfect.” I walked in and unplugged the control and grabbed my earpiece. After I turned it on, I said, “Mom, stand up and follow Button, Robo, and I to Button’s house.”

She stood up and followed me out of the computer room. Robo said when he saw mom was coming with us, “Why are you bringing her?”

I said as I tried not to get ideas in my head, “I just want to walk around with her to show to she isn’t sick anymore.”

After a few minutes. We were at Button’s house. Button opened the door and they heard the shower going. I said as I turned to Button, “Button, does your mom, walk to her room after showering.”

He looked confused as he said, “She always walks to her room in a towel. Why do you ask?”

I said as I turned to them in turn, “Mom, go pick out some clothes, Robo, go get Button’s mom, and Button, head to your room and cover your ears.”

Button was about say something, but he closed his mouth and headed to his room. There was a quick scream, then it stopped and was followed by a loud thump. Robo peaked his head out the door and said, “It’s done, and I placed a towel over her already.”

I walked in and kneel next to Button’s mom. Strands of her hair were over her face. I bent down and pushed them to the side and said as mom walked in hold some clothes, “Mom, Go lay down on the couch. Robo, once she is laying down, activate the sleep setting.” Robo nodded and followed mom out of the bathroom

Button walked in and said, “Is it done, may I try it now?”

I said as Robo walked in, “Not yet, Button, She still need to get dressed and finish getting ready. You don’t want the towel to fall off, now do you?” He shook his head and left. I looked at Robo. He nodded, saying it was ready for me to give a command. I took a deep breath and said, “Sit up and keep the towel covering you.” She sat up, crossed her left arm over the towel to keep it up. Then I said as I got up, “Finish showering, get dressed in these clothes, then head downstairs, and kneel in front of the tv.” As she was getting up, Robo and I left the bathroom, closing the door behind us. I turned to Button and said, “She’s getting ready, let’s head downstairs and wait for her to be done.”

Robo surprised me when he said as he held the controller to Button, “Here is your mom’s controller. I’m sorry, I put it in as "Button’s mom", since there is no record of what her name is.”

I said as I stopped and looked at him, “Wait, you put her on a different controller, and I thought you only had one.”

He turned to me and said, “No, I have a few, but they are old models. Speaking of which, here is your’s.”

I shrugged and took it from him as I headed to the living room. After a few minutes, Button’s mom came downstairs and kneel. Button got up and gave a command. After a few command, and me stopping him on a few. I got up and said as I took Button’s controller, “Well, it was kinda fun, but we have to get going.” I commanded Button’s mom to head to her room and sleep. Then I shut it off after a few minutes. Then I walked out the door, followed by Robo and mom.

When we got back, I turned to mom and turned off the controller. She shook her head and said, “Oh, hello honey. Maybe I should get dinner going.”

I said as I walked upstairs, “Sure.” I walked into my room went to Luna. She was still sleeping. I went to her setting and changed it to normal. Then I went over to her and shook her shoulder as I said, “Luna, time to wake up.”

She groaned as she opened her eyes. She said when she saw me standing over her. “Tinker, when did you get home?”

I got up and said as I headed to the door, “Just barely, I was hanging out with Button and his mom. Come, I want to show you something I’m working on.” She followed me downstairs, and into my workshop.

When she was in, I shut the door and lock it. We headed to the workbench. I showed her the thing I was working on. It was an oval shape, the edge of it was a mint color, the inside was a cyan and a strange lettering and LY was white. I turned it over to show that it had a yellowish gold lyre on the back of it. When I showed it to her, she said as I placed it in her hand, “That’s sweet, how long have you been working on this?”

I took it back and placed it on the bench, then I said as I shrugged about 3 years. It was hard to get the stuff I needed without mom knowing and keeping my grades up. If I was to do one for you, would you like it?”

Her eyes lit up and she said, I would like that. What the symbol on the back for and will it take that long?”

I said as I placed my helmet on, “It’s mom’s Cutie mark and it won’t take as long since I’m out of school. Also, can you get out I only have one helmet.” She nodded and left. I got it situated and flipped it down. I wield the R on when I was call up for dinner. After dinner, I went to my room, got ready for bed and went to sleep.
