Bumper's Secret Talent

Bumper blinked the tears out if his eye's he gave an indignant huff and turned away from his classmates.

"I don't need your help." He said sternly,

"Oh well we tried." The filly with the wire cutiemark said. Just before her and the golden maned filly ran towards the door.

"Don't you dare leave." The swampy haired colt said before turning his attention back to Bumper. "Anyway I hate to-" He started to continue but he was interrupted by the silver coated colt.

"Ummm.....Gizmo mind if we talk in private." He said and Gizmo rolled his eye's before following his friends out the classroom,

"What?" He asked.

"I don't know if this is such a good idea. Didn't you hear this colt was in the little warriors class and he aced it! What if he dices us into oblivion?" The silver coated colt exclaimed.

"Don't worry Data he's not going to do that we just need to be kind to him." Gizmo said,

"B-B-But h-h-he's di-distressed h-he co-co-could a-a-attack." The filly with the gamecolt cutiemark said. As the golden maned one nodded.

"Well he's not getting anywhere near close to finishing that monster of machinery." Gizmo said, "Come on we need to help him after all we can't be like those jerks who bully us." And everypony's face turned red including Gizmo's at the memories. Finally they all walked back into the room. Bumper now had real daggers and was using both hooves to ram into the cube.

"You know it's going to take you ten years, thirty months, fifteen days, three hours, five minutes. And fifteen point thirty-six seconds to get through the shell-like that." Data said and Bumper screamed and threw the daggers at Data who ducked just in time.

"Well now that we have your attention that dear friend of my is Data, the filly with the wire cutiemarks is Spark. The one with the gamecolt cutiemark is Console. And I'm Gizmo. And we know your Bumper the most amazing colt in the world. You've saved Timidthy from his evil alter ego, aced the little warriors class. And got told off by Mrs. Static for something that we could do and did in five minutes." Gizmo said as a smirk developed on his face, Bumper's face grew red.

"Why you little four eye's you certainly have a month for somepony who's gonna get his jaw knocked off." He said,

"Hey we're here to help. So unless you want to fail and get expelled or suspended. And have your parents come and beat your flank I suggest you sit down." Console said getting up into Bumper's face. He took a step back no filly had ever talked to him like that since he first met French Press. Bumper then sat down as he couldn't come up with a good enough insult to get his classmates to leave,

"Yo-Yo-Your g-g-g-good." Spark whispered and Console nodded feeling her ego inflate.

"You didn't have say as much as you did." Gizmo said as he walked over to Bumper who stared at him warily, "Anyway we-" Gizmo started,

"And by "we" he mean "I"." Data interrupted. Gizmo shot him a glance,

"I was thinking maybe you could use some help. We know you already said you don't need it but that could always be stubborn pride talking. And I know after all that's happened already that would diminish your chances of allowing us. But I believe that teaming up will help you beat this mechanical behemoth." He stated finally Bumper sighed as his face started to turn beat red,

"Fine, as long as you don't mention this to anypony." He whispered in defeat.

"Yes! Alright let's go we're gonna have to drag this to your room." Gizmo said.

"No! I can't be seen by you guy's, no offense or anything." Bumper said,

"No offense! Listen you-" Console said before Spark put a hoof on her chest.

"O-O-Okay ho-ho-how a-a-ar-are w-we go-go-going t-to d-do th-th-this?" She said,

"I'll teleport me and the block to my room. You guy's dress up in some cloths or something I don't want anypony to think I'm going to the dork side. I'll be ready in one hour and you guy's better be there on time cause I'll be locking the door." Bumper said and with that he hopped on top of the block and teleported away.

"I hate him." Data said,

"Same." Console agreed.

"G-G-Guy's h-h-he's ne-ne-new t-t-to o-our cl-cl-class. Cu-Cu-Cut him s-s-some s-s-slack." Spark said shyly,

"Yeah we have less than an hour to get ready so let's get going." Gizmo said as him and his friends left the room to get their disguises on.

Bumper was biting his front hooves as he glared as the cube with both fear and hatred. It took up more than half of the room, the colt looked at the clock he walked over to the door and got ready to lock the door. But before he could the door came open and four ponies wearing gray thick hoodies came in. Bumper rolled his eye's and slammed the door as he turned the lock.

"Worst. Disguises. Ever." He commented, and now the Bumper was able to see Gizmo in better light. He could tell that the colt was unusually small for colts their age.

"Well you try to think of something good in thirty minutes!" Data said sourly.

"Co-Co-Come o-o-on gu-guy's le-let's ju-ju-just ge-Get th-th-this o-over wi-wit-with." Spark stuttered, Bumper sighed and pulled out a large sword.

"Alright." He said and was going to swing but Gizmo spoke up,

"Woah you can't use that!"

"And why not!" Bumper said.

"Because you can't just slice randomly through this you could cut some wires! Think of it as of your dissecting a frog you have to be careful and delicate." Console said,

"Yeah but who says that the shell strength of steel, titanium, tungsten, corundum, topaz, and diamond. Can't take the strength of gold but not damage any of the internal wires, chips, X batteries and more. I mean after all gold is just barely stronger than diamond." Bumper said and everypony gasped as he covered his mouth realizing what he had said.

"Wha-What d-d-did yo-you sa-say?" Spark said before Bumper's chattie went off which was propped up on his desk. Timidthy came onto the screen looking busy with something.

"Hey Bum do you think you can update my chattie so I can-" He said before he saw Bumper and the tech nerds,

"Update? What would this nimrod know about updating and what are chatties? And where did you get them? Come to think of it......arnt you Prince Timidthy how would you know him?" Gizmo asked,

"In summary tell us everything." Data said and Timidthy blushed red.

"Wow great questions but who are you guy's?" He said his gaze flicking over to Bumper who's eye's we're pleading,

"Don't leave me!"

"I'm Gizmo! And these are my friends Data, Spark, and Console." Gizmo said,

"We're his tech classmates." Data simplified. Timidthy's eye's widened and a smirk came to his face,

"So Mr. "I refuse to get help" what's your excuse now?" He said. And Bumper's face reddened even more,

"Dude if you say one more thing I'm gonna beat you senseless." He said. Timidthy playfully scoffed,

"Yeah hold on for a minute." He said and the call ended leaving everypony to look at Bumper.

"Well....." Console said,

"Umm....well....I..." Bumper said before his chattie went off again and all his friends came onto the chattie.

"Ya know I couldn't have imaged a better downfall for the glorious Bumper! This is priceless!" Blood Bones said in the midist of a laughing fit,

"I was beginning to wonder why you hadn't called me." French Press said.

"I should've bet money I knew something like this would happen." Timidthy said, "Anyway you know me Timidthy. And here's my brother Blood Bones, the twins, Spice, Serenity, Binkey, and Crepe. Our redeemed friend Meadow, my loudmouth BFF Citrus. My......fillyfriend.....Sweet Dreams, our local hairstylist French Press. We also have a friend in Applewood but she's busy with looking over a script. Also Bumper she says she feels for you and your situation reminds her of a similar one when she was in school. Also she loves her chattie."

The tech nerds blinked stunned at the long introduction,

"Okay now that we're acquainted.....we still have one question where did you get those.....chatties?" Console asked

The room was silent again,

"I'm gonna tell them." Blood Bones said.

"Brother, no." Timidthy said sternly,

"Tiny Tim I don't think they're gonna be satisfied unless we give them an answer." Sweet Dreams said,

"But we promised!" Timidthy retorted.

"But I didn't!" Spice said,

"Spice wait!" All of Bumper's friends said, including him, but Spice did anyway.

"Bumper made the chatties. And
everytime one of us makes a new friend he makes a chatties and gives it to them so we can get to know said friend. If the friend doesnt have or can't biologically get a cutiemark he doesnt paint one on the back of the thing. He colors the chattie the color of the friends coat and mane and makes sure to put the friend's name on it." Spice said,

"What!?" The tech nerds cried at once.

"That's it I'm just gonna bang my head on a wall till I pass out......" Bumper muttered under his breath walking towards the restroom and shut the door.

"Thanks a lot sister now he's humiliated and mad." Serenity said,

"Sorry but I ain't no liar." Spice said simply.

"S-S-Should w-we g-g-go ch-ch-check o-o-on h-h-him?" Spark asked,

"No just let him simmer done. But right now I have a feeling we need to do a lot more explaining." Meadow said. And tech nerds went to grab some tools to melt the metal. As they listened to his friend's give some more needed explanations.
