The Boy Who Cried Robot & Ponies
A Mountain Climber is climbing on one of the biggest mountains in the world. It took him hours for him to reach the top of the mountain but it was worth it. As he climbs at the edge he takes out his flag.
"At last, I do hereby claim this peak the highest in all of Asia, for the village of Stickney, Illinois, thus do I claim thee Mount Milijankaro!"
Just when he’s about to get up on the edge to place his flag, he saw tens of birds sitting on top of the mountain. The birds looked at him, every single one of them flew in defense at the mountain climber, causing him to fall to his doom.
Meanwhile back at the Wakeman’s place, Jenny is reading one of her teen magazines. She also has two friends who are ponies sitting in her corner of her room. One who is an alicorn and pegasus. After her mother gave her the confidence to go out in public, she was able to make friends, not to mention pony friends.
Then the distress signal reacted, getting the attention of Jenny and her ponies. They saw that the mountain climber is in danger after he fell a thousand feet from a huge mountain. Not wasting anymore time, Jenny and the two ponies flew out of their bedroom to make their way to their destination.
Of course Jenny knows that her friends aren’t faster because of her advance speed in her abilities as a robot. She grabs both of their hooves as she uses her boast. They arrive at the mountain where the climber is still falling, reaching to the point they’re about to rescue him.
“Made it with time to spare.” Jenny Wakeman smiled.
“I got to say Jenny, even if me and Rainbow Dash aren’t robots, you still have respect for us.” Twilight commented.
“Even if you always beat me on who is the fastest flyer, your’re still awesome!” Rainbow Dash added.
“Thanks girls, sidekicks like you also deserve the treatment of honor.” Jenny replied.
Jenny’s hands has turned into bigger gloves so she can catch the mountain climber in no time. As she’s whistling, she then heard her name.
“Jenny! Twilight! Rainbow Dash!”
“Tuck??” The three girls blinked.
“Jenny! Twilight! Rainbow Dash!”
When the girls listen to Tuck’s call, they ignore the mountain climber who just missed Jenny’s catch.
“Hold on Tuck!” Jenny called as she grabs Twilight and Rainbow’s hooves again. With Jenny’s speed going a thousand miles per hour, they left the continent, boasting through their city and into the woods.
During this whole time, Twilight and Rainbow wasn’t prepared. While Rainbow Dash was used to flying in high speeds, Twilight wasn’t. Even with Jenny still holding on to her hoof, she can’t handle the velocity from the robot.
“Jenny, can you please slow it down!?” Twilight asked.
“But Tuck’s in trouble!” Jenny said in concerned.
They’re getting close to where Tuck is located and when Jenny stopped like a dime, Twilight flew out of her hand and crashed. Jenny and Rainbow opened their eyes and saw that Tuck wasn’t in any kind of harm whatsoever.
“Tuck?” Both Jenny and Rainbow responded.
“Hi.” Tuck replied.
“Hi.”
“Hi.”
“Unnnnnnn...sooooooo?”
They saw that Tuck is on his unfinished treehouse with most of his friends as well as three fillies he met.
“Hey, where’s Twilight?” Rainbow added.
Everyone on the treehouse looked at Twilight who just crashed into a tree which made Jenny embarrassed.
“How am I going to get used to this?” Twilight said to herself.
“Sorry Twilight.” Jenny replied as she turns her attention back to Tuck. “So Tuck, what’s going on?”
“Jenny, Twilight, Rainbow Dash I want you to meet my friends, George and Carver.” Tuck introducing his friends.
George and Carver are amazed at the robot and two ponies their meeting for the first time.
Then a kid in the shadows clears his throat. “Oh yeah and this is…what’s your name again?” Tuck asked.
“My name is...Lon.” Lon showing himself to everyone.
“Lon was telling us about this really cool wolf he's gonna show us later with huge teeth, and big yellow eyes, and horrible sharp claws.” Tuck mimicking as a wolf.
“And, a blood-curdling howl that pierces the night air like an assassin's dagger."
Meanwhile, the three fillies in the back are scared from everything they heard about Lon’s wolf. “Did his parents think this was a good idea?” Apple Bloom commented.
“I think his parents are normal people.” Sweetie Belle added.
“Hey, we can’t just leave Twilight up. Let’s help her.” Scootaloo reminded. As the fillies try to help Twilight from the impact, Tuck gets back on topic.
“And since we were speaking of cool things, how can I resist mention that I live next to a- LASER BEAM, ROCKET POWER, KICK BUTT, SUPER HERO!!!”
Then Rainbow Dash clears her thought.
“Oh and two of her pony sidekicks. Of course nobody believed me so I had to call you over.” Tuck then turns around to his friends. “Pretty cool huh guys?”
All of his friends adore the highly advanced robot and the two ponies. Lon however is jealous that the robot is way better than his pet he’s going to show later. As for Jenny and Rainbow Dash, they’re happy from the worship from Tuck’s friends.
“Aww...Tuck you shouldn’t have.” Rainbow Dash blushed.
“Yeah, Tuck we’re flattered.” Jenny added. “But you really shouldn’t make distress calls unless it's an emergency.”
Tuck then made a frowned face. “This was sort of an emergency.”
“No Tuck, I mean a REAL emergency. Like fires, floods, falling off a mountain-“
Then Jenny and Rainbow Dash made a dumbfounded look when they realized why they left their house.
“THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBER!” Rainbow reacted. Without wasting any time, Jenny and Rainbow boast back to the mountain, leaving Tuck’s friends while they found the speed from Jenny’s abilities cool.
Just when the three fillies helped Twilight’s impact, the alicorn saw that her two friends have left. “Wait! You forgot me!” Twilight walking on the edge of the treehouse. “Ugh...not again.” Twilight knew she can’t catch up to her friends. She instead went back to Jenny’s place to recover her concussion.
After Jenny and Rainbow Dash saved the mountain climber, they head back to their bedroom. They saw that Twilight is laying on the bed which also made them concerned. Jenny brought a bag of ice cubes for Twilight’s head.
“Sorry Twilight, I didn’t think Tuck’s call would make you unprepared.” Jenny said.
“You need to understand that I’m not fast like you.” Twilight replied.
“But the distress signals are really important.”
“Yeah, what if we help someone who’s a scientist who’s getting attacking from his experiments gone wrong?” Rainbow added.
Twilight had to face the facts that her friends are right. Ever since she and Rainbow met Jenny, she had to get use to Jenny’s robotic abilities even if it’s new to her.
“You're right, especially since I'm mostly the brains in this group.” Twilight smile as Jenny picks her up.
“Even if my mom put every program in me, I still allow you to do the smarts.” She then gives her a hug to which Twilight accepts it. Just when things are starting to get smooth, another distress signal reacted.
Their destination is in Switzerland where a dike is about to crack with the water leaking. Once Twilight, Rainbow and Jenny arrived and saw the dike leaking, Twilight takes out a book called Masonry Made Easy involving cement.
“Let’s see. Allow twenty minutes for cement mixer to harden.” Twilight read with Jenny by her.
“Sandstone blaze on top will be a nice effect.” Jenny commented.
During this whole time Rainbow felt annoyed from the two reading. “Why can’t I use my tornado twist to take the water to some lake here?”
“Do you really think it’s going to help that the dike is still cracking?” Twilight replied.
“Yeah, give Twilight some chance for this job, we can’t just do a quicker fix.” Jenny added.
“Jenny! Twilight! Rainbow!” Tuck called again.
“Tuck?” Jenny responded.
“Again?” Twilight added.
“Jenny! Twilight! Rainbow Hurry!”
“Too late, we have to find a quicker fix!” Rainbow reacted as she looks to find something to prevent the dike from leaking. She then saw Derpy Hooves, wiping her nose with her wings. She carries her by the dike and shoves her wing at the crack as it’s stopped leaking. Both Twilight and Jenny we’re surprised from Rainbow’s quick but smart idea.
“Okay...I guess that oughta do it.” Jenny making an awkward look.
They left Switzerland and headed back to Tuck’s treehouse. When they arrived, they saw that Tuck wasn’t in trouble again. Instead he’s getting money from his friends in a stand he made.
“Gentleman, our stars have arrived.” He spoke.
“What is this?” Jenny asked.
“Tuck, I already showed you my tricks last week!” Rainbow retorted.
“We’ve told you to call only if it’s something important.” Twilight added.
“But it is important.” Tuck said. “Lon didn’t believe you had cool gadgets and stuff, and didn’t believe your pony friends are sidekicks. He said you three were wimpy.”
Jenny, Rainbow and Twilight are furious that they have to come back to Tuck for the second time today. It’s bad enough the first time was unnecessarily but now, it’s starting to become repetitive.
“Listen you!” Jenny getting into Tuck’s face as so does her friends.
“We’ve got more important things to do than to perform tricks for a bunch of geeky little boys!” Rainbow added.
“Hey!” Twilight reacted to which both Jenny and Rainbow took notice.
“Oh sorry.”
“You will not call us again unless you actually need our help! Understand?” Jenny pointed her finger at Tuck.
Tuck had to understand what Jenny and her friends are coming from but he has something in mind since he had been friends with Jenny and her sidekicks months ago.
“Yeah.” He replied.
“Good.” Rainbow responded. Just when their about to head back home, Tuck calls yet again.
“HELP!”
Jenny and her ponies act sarcastic as they land back to the unfinished treehouse. “I don’t like where this is going.” Apple Bloom commented.
“Hmmm...Let’s see.” Jenny said.
“Everything seems calm and peaceful.” Twilight commented as Rainbow pulls Tuck’s hair.
“Yeah, you appear to be fine, no broken bones, not leaking any bodily fluids.”
“Ewwww!” Sweetie Belle reacted.
“At least not yet.”
Jenny then grabs Tuck’s shirt, looking him close to him straight in the eyes. “You do know what the word help means, don’t you?”
“But I do need your help.” Tuck said.
“Really how's that?” Jenny placing him down with her hands on her hips.
“I have a splinter.” Tuck showing his finger with a splinter on it. Twilight and Rainbow got really annoyed that it’s not really a splinter, it’s more of a tack that Tuck just put on in the span of two seconds.
“Tuck, that’s not what we meant by-“
“Oh so my stupid little pain isn’t important enough for you. Is that is?”
Meanwhile, the three fillies are having a bad feeling about this. “What is he doing?” Scootaloo asked.
“No that’s not what we men-“ Just when Twilight was about to make it clear, Tuck cuts her off.
“So I’m never going to see you three when I get run over by a train?”
“No of course-“
“Or get crushed by a gorilla or swallowed by the luckless monster?”
Both Rainbow and Twilight have their jaws hanging open from Tucks choice of words. They can see what he’s trying to go with and it’s not going to end pretty.
“That’s ridicu-“
“I thought you wanted friends like a normal kid.”
“We do.”
“I thought we were friends.”
“We are.”
“Well, as a friend let me give you advice about friendship. Friends help friends out. Not just of the gorilla size problems, but the splinter size problems too.”
Jenny rolled her eyes from Tuck’s advice about friendship although she can understand what he’s talking about. But Twilight and Rainbow raised an eyebrow.
“Ohhh alright.” Jenny’s hand transformed into tweezers to gently pull the splinter off of Tuck’s finger which causes his friends to applause. “But we can only come over if you need our help with something.”
“Oh, I don’t think that will be a problem.”
Tuck’s friends pointed their fingers that they also have a splinter. This made Jenny signed as she uses her tweezers to pull off every splinter from every kid. As for Twilight and Rainbow, their still unsure about this.
“Twilight, aren’t you going to teach Tuck a lesson about helping friends?” Rainbow whispered to the alicorn.
“I would, but he isn’t completely wrong.” Twilight responded.
“What?”
“I know we’re adopted to be Jenny’s sidekicks, but we help her situations to stop crime. She never said anything about not allowing us to follow her anywhere she goes. Besides, she only made three friends. Sheldon, Brad and his brother Tuck.”
Rainbow tried to process the words from Twilight’s opinion. Even if she doesn’t like what Tuck is trying to do, friendship is also important. In order to make things better for their robot friend, they decided to help her on anything that happens.
“ Okay, we can help her.” Rainbow retorted.
“Thanks,” Twilight smiled. “Besides, how bad could it be?”
Back at the neighborhood, Tuck’s older brother Brad and the country pony Applejack left the mall after Brad brought ice cream for himself.
“So where do you want to go next?” Brad asked.
“We should probably see Jenny and our friends. We haven’t seen them all day.” Applejack offered.
“Your right, I wonder where they’ve been this whole time.”
Then they saw Jenny, Twilight and Rainbow walking down the streets. Hours during the day, they never felt so irritated helping Tuck all the time. Rainbow is even carrying Twilight behind her back after she’s exhausted.
Brad and Applejack went up to their friends ignoring their stress. “Hey Jenny.” Brad said.
“Howdy Twilight and Rainbow Dash.” Applejack greeted.
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!?” Jenny, Twilight and Rainbow shouted at the top of their lungs. Jenny’s yelled causes wind to blow towards Brad and Applejack. Brad’s ice cream was on his shirt while his hair is blown back. Applejack’s hat was flown away from Jenny’s wind.
After letting out their frustrations, they realized it wasn’t Tuck who called their names. “Ohh.” They all replied.
“Brad, I’m so sorry.” Jenny went behind Brad to blow the wind. While Twilight Sparkle is trying to help Applejack, Rainbow Dash flew to get her hat back.
“Ugh…let me, ugh...one more little, almost got it!”
Brad then lifted his hand to Jenny. “Jenny! Stop helping.”
Rainbow Dash returned and gives Applejack her hat back. Jenny and Rainbow sat on the street feeling depressed while Twilight lays on the ground.
“Ugh if only your brother would let me stop helping him.”
“Oh boy, what’s Tuck up to now?” Brad rolled his eyes.
“He keeps calling us over with his geeky friends, with the stupidest stuff.”
“What did he want you to do?” Applejack added.
Rainbow gets into Applejack’s face to being really honest with her. “He made Jenny do yard work, painting the treehouse, and even use her robotic abilities for the smallest things.”
“What did he want you and Twilight to do?”
“He made us take out the garbage. He even didn’t want us to do our tricks!”
Twilight lifted her head up. “Not to mention they barley to anything for a friend like use.”
“So why do you keep going then?” Brad asked.
“Tuck says that what friends do for each other.” Jenny placing her hand on her head.
“Yeah, expect he doesn’t know what the word help means in our definition!” Twilight yelled as she lays back down.
Brad and Applejack tried to think of a solution to help Jenny and her sidekicks. “Why can’t you just tell Tuck that he shouldn’t get help from you?” Applejack offered.
“Here’s the thing Applejack.” Rainbow replied. “When we became Jenny’s sidekicks, we’re supposed to help her no matter what. Helping her when she doesn't have her eyes and stopping that Exo-Skin from controlling her body Venom style. Yes, we even have to help her when she’s helping Tuck.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Twilight who can’t stand the pressure she had all day, explains the issue. “It was mostly my idea for use to help Tuck. He’s a good kid, but he’s seriously getting out of hand here.”
“Plus what if we don’t help him if he really needs us?” Jenny asked.
“Hmm, this sort of reminds me of a story.” Brad remembering. “Twilight, can you show us your book collection?”
“Sure I guess.” Twilight responded. The five went to Jenny’s house to see if they can find the reason why Tuck is manipulating. After a long day of helping him, they decide it was the last thing they’re going to do.
Hours have past with the sky completely dark. Tuck’s friends are about to head home for the night but Tuck want’s one more thing from Jenny and her sidekicks.
“Jenny! Twilight! Rainbow Dash!” He called while his friends are climbing down the ladder.
“Goodnight Tuck.” George replied.
“No need to walk gentleman, Jenny and her friends will be here to fly us home. Jenny!” Tuck still didn’t see of her Jenny arriving from his signal. “Twilight!! Dash!!”
“Nevermind Tuck, we’re walking.” Carver said.
“No! Wait! I know they’re coming! Jenny!”
Meanwhile Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are feeling concerned about Tuck. After seeing Jenny and her sidekicks come back for about thirty times today, they decided to talk sense into him. “Tuck.” Apple Bloom responded which gout Tuck’s attention.
“Don’t you think they’ve done enough for you?” Sweetie Belle added.
“Well, I did told them about friends help friends out right?” Tuck acting confident.
“That’s something you really shouldn’t take advantage of.” Scootaloo replied. “Do you have any idea how it’s going to affect them?”
“Oh come on, don’t you want to fly with Rainbow Dash?”
“Well...yes but not right now. I’m not in the mood.”
The three fillies didn’t even wanted help from Jenny and the ponies to begin with. They just wanted to build their treehouse with Tuck and his friends. Sure they did do other things but calling a robot and her pony sidekicks over and over again isn’t what they had in mind.
“Don’t be so concerned, you girls deserve the pleasure of getting to your homes without walking.” Tuck then tries to call Jenny again. “Jenny!”
“So, Tuck.” Lon chimes in with the three fillies staying out of it. Tuck slowly turns his attention on the kid he just met today. “Now that we have eliminated that robotic distraction, I think it’s time to meet the wolf…” With the clouds uncovering the full moon in the sky, things are starting to get serious for Tuck.
“This is not gonna be good.” Apple Bloom commented.
“JENNY! TWILIGHT! RAINBOW DASH!” Tuck shouted.
“Forget it Tuck. We’re not falling for it anymore!” Jenny responded.
“Yeah, why don’t you just do it yourself?” Rainbow added.
When Jenny and her friends returned to their house, Twilight showed Brad her book collection. When Brad took out the book he remembered, he gave it to Jenny, called The Boy Who Cried Wolf. For the rest of the day, Jenny, Twilight and Rainbow Dash read almost the whole book. During that time, they ignore Tuck’s calls since they finally know he’s doing the same scam in the book.
“WOLF!” Tuck shouted again which made the three girls surprised.
“Wolf?, now the brat is trying the actual book.” Jenny retorted.
“But we’re not the ones at the end of this story.” Twilight boasted.
“Say, how does the story end anyway?” Rainbow asked.
“Mmm I don’t know, maybe the kid gets a ticket for disturbing the peace.” Brad replied.
When the girls skipped towards the final chapter of the book, saw two images. One where the wolf is eating the boy while the other has his stomach fill. Jenny, Twilight and Rainbow Dash are shocked from the ending they read. Applejack and Brad also looked at the ending from behind.
“He gets the ticket huh?” Jenny glaring at Brad.
“JENNY! TWILIGHT! RAINBOW DASH!” Tuck screamed in fear.
“Tuck!” The three girls replied but both Brad and Applejack are blocking the window.
“No Jenny. Don’t fall for it.”
“Yeah, it’s not what it looks like.”
Jenny place her hands on Brad’s shoulders while Twilight uses her horn to push Applejack aside.
“But the ending of the book!” Jenny said in concerned.
“Yeah, he’s gonna be dinner if we don’t hurry up!” Rainbow reacted.
“Who are you going to believe, me? Are that stupid book?” Brad pointing his finger until Jenny stands up to him.
“Your’re the one who showed us the stupid book in the first place!”
“And it was actually a good thing because I haven’t read that book yet. Now we might see fiction became reality if we don’t hurry up!” Twilight freaking out as they heard Tuck screaming again.
“Sorry guys.” Jenny grabs onto Twilight and Rainbow while she’s lifted off from her bedroom. “We won’t have Tuck’s blood in our hands.”
However when they left, Brad and Applejack are holding on to her leg. “I’m telling, he’s faking!” Brad shouted.
“We’re telling the truth!” Applejack added. Jenny ignores them as her leg comes off, setting Brad and Applejack away into the other side of the woods which caught Rainbow’s concern.
“Girls, we can’t just…” She let go of Jenny to help her friends. “Ugh...I’ll take care of it but I hope you give me most of the credit!” Rainbow flew away from her friends to find Applejack and Brad. As for Jenny and Twilight, they can hear more of Tuck’s horrifying scream when they get close to the unfinished treehouse. They rushed as fast as they can to bypass all the trees and finally arrive to save Tuck.
However when they see Tuck with Lon’s wolf, he wasn’t in any harm whatsoever. They saw him getting lick from the wolf instead of getting eaten.
“Oh, hi Jenny. I wanted you to see Lon's dog, Wolfie. He's really part wolf. Isn't that the coolest thing?” He laughed.
Jenny and Twilight went into silence from the fraud they saw. After hours of doing everything small thing for Tuck and the final time they come over to see if he’s really in danger, is the worst of them all. Jenny crunch both of her fists in frustration, getting fed up from the same scam Brad’s brother has been doing.
“Um Twilight, is Lon’s wolf the coolest thing?”
Jenny still didn't make a response since she’s boiling in rage however she isn’t as mad as Twilight. No one should ever cross the line with her when it comes to manipulating her intelligence. She cinched her teeth as her mane and tail transformed into hot burning fire, much to the Tuck’s surprise.
“He’s so busted.” Scootaloo commented.
Rainbow Dash manages to find where Brad and Applejack was located. They crashed into a tree with their hair and mane completely messy. When she takes them back to the neighborhood, it was almost bedtime.
“I wanted to thank you for finding us.” Brad replied.
“Yeah, this is the second my hat almost left me...even though it was mostly your actions.” Applejack retorted.
“Don’t mention it.” Rainbow responded. “Today is one of the most annoying days I ever had in my life.”
“Well look on the bright side, at least you didn’t fall for Tuck’s call again. I know parents won’t allow kids to have wolves as pets.” Brad commented.
“Speaking of Tuck’s call, I wonder what Jenny and Twilight are doing.”
When they get to the stop sign that leads to only two directions, left or right. They saw that Tuck is running while Jenny and Twilight are chasing him on the streets.
“Heeeelllllppp, Jenny! Heeeelllppp! Heeeellllpppp! Jenny and Twilight's attacking me!”
Jenny shots lasers while Tuck jumps but that wasn’t enough since Twilight is shooting her lasers from her horn. Brad, Applejack and Rainbow didn’t even bother to help him after the day he caused to himself.
“You're right Brad, at least Tuck is getting his desserts.” Rainbow crossing of her hooves.
“I would help him, but he brought this to himself.” Brad added.
“Yeah, considering he’s using us for fame, I doubt he’s going to be the best of friends later on.” Applejack replied.
As Brad, Applejack and Rainbow Dash head back to their separate homes, Jenny and Twilight continue to chase Tuck during the night.
Author's Note
If anyone is going to say that this story is just a copy of the episode with ponies in them, keep this in mind this is the first crossover I ever did. I tried to change things up when it comes to the pony characters even if I didn’t use all of them.
I’m also surprised that no one made a tag of My Life As A Teenage Robot on this.
