No Karma, just Tanks.

Knock, Knock, Knock.

Why is it always knocking that signifys the start to a weird day? Only been here for a week and trends already are starting up, well, maybe it will give me something to do considering I’m not training Max today.

“Ah, hello Dinky!” The Doctor says as he opens the door.

“Hello Doctor! I need some help.” Oh, help is it? Such a sweet and innocent child, I think I could help.

“Oh? And what is it that you wish for me to help with?” Ahh, the Doctor, always helping.

“Well, the Applewood Derby is next week, and I was wondering if you could help build, and be my driver?”

“Why, of corse I will! But what about your mother, shouldn’t she help you?”

“Well, no offense to her of course, but her corridination wouldn’t be good for driving and building. I asked permission!”

“Well, I’m pretty sure me and my assistant can build one for you, if that is what you wish.” Assistant, nickname givin to me by the Doctor, and I quite like it.

“Thank You Doctor!”

“My pleasure dear Dinky, now run along and go play as we get to work.” Dinky does so, as the Doctor closes the door.

“Well, I think a regular cart would be boring, right Kendrick? How about we create a bear of industry?”

I hope he’s thinking what I’m thinking. “T-34?” I ask hopefully.

“T-34.” He says back as I start jumping for joy.

“I have plenty of metal to build it, so let’s start.” The Doctor says.

*Music starts playing.*

“In this small town I think we’re the smartest here.”

“Of our intellect many will fear.”

“So let’s start building history’s best”

“This one tank better than the rest.”

“Let’s start some industry!”

“Us two smartest, you and me!”

“This is a mark on history!”

“Bring the metal, that’s the key!”

“Our cart shall be the best!”

“All others shall fear our quest!”

“So let’s join together you and me!”

“Create our mark on history!”

“We shall sieze the means of production!”

“Stop the worlds corruption!”

“I’m the Stalin, you the Lenin.”

“Revolution, referendum!”

“Together we shall send them...”

“Back In History!

“We’re the Soviets you and me!”

“Become captains of industry!”

“Ohh! The cannon, that’s the key!”

“We’re the smartest you and me!”

“This is a mark on history!”

“Our cart will be the best!”

“All others will fear our quest!”

“So let’s join together you and me!”

*music ends.*

“Well,” the Doctor says first, “first time song magic has effected me in such a strong way.”

“It’s been three days. Why were we singing? Why did time speed up for us?”

“Song magic, and unknown.”

“Right, I’m going to sleep, wake me up when we drive that thing.”

“Okay.”

*few days later.*

“Oi!” The Doctor says, poking me, “It’s time to drive it!”

“Really! Ohmigash!” I say jumping out of bed.

“We have about half an hour until we have to arrive. Let’s go!”

“Remember to bring the fireworks to fire out the cannon, and we need to stop by Dinky’s to pick her up.”

“Gotta say, the hammer and sickle you added makes this look great.” The Doctor says as we climb into the first tank ever.

“Is Max gonna be there?” I ask, wanting to see his face. We start driving.

“I think he will be. He is going to love this!!” The Doctor says maniacally as he drives with perfect coordination.

I start laughing insanely and the Doctor joins in. Then we arrive at Dinky’s house, really Derpy’s but whatever.

“Let’s invite those two in for a drive my good assistant.” He says as we hop out the top of the tank, seeing the awed faces of ponies staring at our tank.

Knocking at the door three times, the Doctor and I wait for Dinky and Derpy. When they eventually open the door, the Doctor gets a morbidly sarcastic smile, pointing at the tank saying, “Your ride has arrived ladies.”

“It’s so cool!” Dinky says as she tries to get in, needing help from me, “What is it?” She askes as we all get in.

“This my dear friends is a tank. A Soviet design called a T-34.”

Piping up Derpy askes, “Why build this ‘tank’ instead of a cart?”

“Ah,” the Doctor says, feeling a lecture coming up, “two reasons. One, this can accelerate by itself without aid of magic, unlike carts, and is a lot faster a lot quicker. Right now my assistant is keeping it at a cool, slow, 30 KMPH, still faster than a lot of carts. Two, the cannon,” He says pointing to the said cannon, “can shoot off fireworks, or tank shells. With armor this thick, and a cannon on the front, this is the perfect war tool.”

“Oh,” both mother and daughter say at once, “Okay.”

I tap the Doctor on the shoulder as the others look away to study the inside. “I want to be out the top of the roof like an old propaganda poster.”

“Okay, do that, I’ll take over driving.” He turns to the others as I climb to the hatch, “we have a switch of drivers.”

I put the hatch up and see we are near the school. I climb back down and load the cannon with some fireworks for an entrance. The Doctor sees this and says, “Dinky allow my assistant to do as we’ve practiced to make the entrance even better.” She complies and walks up to me as I fire off the fireworks, and climb the ladder with her in my arms.

I open the hatch, hold her up soft but firm, and point forward over the hill we were emerging from, fireworks lighting up the sky. https://goo.gl/images/KkoAPf

Everyone gawks at us as we arrive just in time to hear the ‘start in one minute’ whistle. We stop at the start line and prepare.

*5 minutes later*

We won, the Doctor got asked a ton about what the T-34 was, Dinky got most Modern and Fastest award, me and Max shared a laugh. Overall a very good day, I even got a tank out of it.

+1 Karma! You used your craftsmanship to help a child in need look cool! You can feel the spirit of the craftsmanship as you gain a new ‘limb’! You can now use Celebrimbor’s hammer!
