Chapter 4: Some More Interrogation, With A Side Of Freedom

“Hello, Princess,” I greeted Celestia as two of the guards opened the doors, “They're gone, and won't be disturbing us for a while.”

“Good. Thank you so much for getting rid of them.” She thanked me, finally breaking her gaze from the window.

“No problem, Princess. They shouldn't have been messing with anyone.”

“If you don’t mind, I need you to come with me.”

“I don’t mind.”

Celestia took me to a room with a desk with three chairs, one on one side, two on the other, and a lightbulb above us, illuminating the room. It looked a lot like the interrogation room in "Blue Bloods". “Please, take a seat.” She used her magic to pull a chair out from the table, and I sat down.

“Thank you.” I said.

“Now,” she began, “I’ll be back. I’m going to get my sister.”

“Alright.” I said as she left. I waited for about five minutes before Celestia came back, Luna behind her.

“Johnny, this is my sister, Luna.” Celestia motioned toward Luna.

When Luna saw me she froze in place.

“Hello there. How are you?” I said, holding my hand out to shake Luna’s hoof.

“I’m good,” she spluttered nervously, shaking my hand. “How are you?” She asked, sitting down in one of the chairs across from me.

“Well, I'm doing just fine. Thank you for asking.”

“Johnny,” Celestia said, “I brought Luna here in case she had any questions. So, Luna, if you have any questions, now’s the
time to ask them.”

“First,” Luna asked, “are you here for bad intentions?”

“No.” I stated.

“How exactly can we trust you?”

”If I were here with bad intentions, I probably wouldn’t have gotten rid of the…" I started counting how many animatronics there were, "ten animatronics that were attacking Ponyville.”

“Ponyville was under attack, and you didn’t alert me?” Luna gasped, turning to Celestia.

“Well, since you were up all night, I figured I would let you sleep, unless things got really bad.” Celestia muttered. “But luckily, Johnny was able to stop them. Let’s talk about this later.”

“Fine.” Luna grumbled. “What are you?”

“I’m a human; I’m not from here.”

“Then where are you from?”

“Earth, a planet in a different dimension.”

“Why are you here?“

“There was a mistake in my teleporter.”

“You have a teleporter? Can you make one for me- I mean us?”

“Sorry, I…" I thought for a moment, before continuing. "...actually, I might be able to put a teleporter here in Equestria.”

“Really?” Both princesses chirped at the same time.

“Yeah.” I replied. “I probably wouldn’t be able to make you and the M- Elements of Harmony each one since I don’t have many Gersh Devices, but I could probably put a few in Ponyville and here so you guys could come to my house if you need me.”

“Why, that would be nice.” Celestia said.

“I can come tomorrow if you want.” I suggested.

“Alright. Do you have any more questions?” I asked, looking at Luna.

“No, I do not.”

“Alright. It’s been nice seeing you.” I told Luna, holding out my hand for a handshake.

She shook it and politely uttered, “It’s been a pleasure seeing you.”

As she walked out, I called, “Have a nice day!”

“Alright,” Celestia said to me, “if you could wait here another moment, that would be appreciated, because there are two more ponies that I need you to see.”

Celestia walked out of the room, and then came back in a few seconds later with Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, who was holding Flurry Heart. When they saw me, they froze for a second, then sat in the two open seats.

“Hello,” I started, “I’m Johnny Soaps. How are you?” I held out my hand for a handshake.

“Hello. I’m Princess Cadence," she shook my hand, "and this is my husband, Shining Armor." I shook his hoof. "We’re good. How are you?” Cadence asked.

“I’m doing good, thank you for asking.”

The interrogation went the same with them as it did with Luna. Cadence and Shining Armor asked the same questions, I told them about how I plan to put teleporters in Equestria, and I could put a teleporter in the Crystal Empire, then I wished them a good day as they left.

“I would like to say once again thank you for getting rid of the robots.” Celestia said as we walked towards the exit.

“It’s no problem, they shouldn’t have been hurting innocent ponies.” I replied.

“May I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Earlier, when I asked you to help us, you said you dealt with them before?”

“Yes, I used to live with them because it started to get pretty lonely living by myself, but-” I got cut off by Celestia.

“You live by yourself? Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have cut you off.”

“It's okay. Yeah, I don’t live with any of my family.”

“How come?”

“I'd rather not talk about it in detail, so maybe another day. The summary is that I used to live with the animatronics, but then they... wanted me to join the family, so I left. Afterwards, they tried to kidnap me, but I fought back and won.”

“Oh. What was wrong with 'joining the family'?”

"Their way of me joining the family isn't very safe. Again, that's a story for a different day. And yeah, luckily they didn’t take me. So, I’ll be here tomorrow to put up a teleporter?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, I just need you to do one thing. I need you to decide on a room to put the teleporter in.”

“Alright. Here I’ll show you the exit.” She walked to the mane doors, and I followed. “Here you go.”

“Have a good day, Princess!”

“Johnny.” I turned around and looked at her. “You can call me Celestia.”

“Alright. Have a good day, Celestia.”

She then closed the doors. I opened a Gersh Device, put in “Home”, and went through.
