Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
New Digs Pt.2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen Spike and Twilight were a safe distance away from the earthquake, behind a large oak tree. They waited until the ground stopped shaking. Twilight looked at Spike. "I knew it, this is one of Discords pranks."
Spike sighed as his arm started buzzing again. "Master, incoming call." Said Cally.
Spike answered his hand. "Hello? Yes, that was me, but...No...fine." Said Spike as he unscrewed his hand and handed it to Twilight. "It's for you." Said Spike.
Twilight looked at the hand and was a little confused, but she brought it to her head. "Yes?"
"Hey, Twilight, just to let you know, I didn't do this!" Yelled Discord as he popped out of the hand and yelled it into her ear. Discord looked at Spike. "So, change of plans, we can't go to the strip club, instead we're going to have a party in your new place."
Spike shrugged. "Cool, and I've been meaning to tell you, but I've already been to a strip club."
Discord gasped. "But, when?"
Spike shrugged. "I kinda went to one back in college. My bro, Chris got dumped, so me and his roommates decided to head to a club on the outskirts of town, where I got a lap dance."
Discord sighed as he wanted to spend time with Spike. "Oh, was she at least hot?" Asked Discord.
Spike smirked. "40 E's, blond, stripper body, and gave me her real name."
Discord wiped a tear away. "That's my boy. Well, I got to go, Celestia is about to break the door down. Love you, Spike."
Spike smiled. "Love you too. Bye, Dad." Said Spike as Discord went back into the hand.
Spike sighed as he grabbed his hand and screwed it back on to his arm. He looked at Twilight. "So, Twilight, let’s go see what my aunt did." Said Spike.
Twilight sighed as she nodded. "Fine."
The two walked out from behind the tree and were shocked to see a large building where the flower was. At the front stood two large massive wood doors, three rows of windows, and a large path of stone going to the porch that was made of granite. Spike looked at Twilight. "So, that just happened." Said Spike as he started walking to his new home, Twilight rubbed her eyes at the fact that Spike just got a house by putting an acorn in a flower, she had to fight a demonic, power-hungry centaur for the fate of Equestria and lost her old home in town to get her castle.
Twilight sighed as she just walked behind Spike. "Mother Bucker." Mumbled Twilight.
Spike looked back at Twilight. "You say something?" Asked Spike.
Twilight blushed as she was hoping that Spike didn't hear her. "It's nothing Spike."
Spike shrugged as he opened the front door of the home and proceeded to drop his jaw at the sight. The entrance was stone, crystal, and hardwood, everything. There was a staircase that led to the second and third floor made of oak, with crystal rails. The floor was solid marble and hanging above the two was a massive chandelier made of crystal, with light-producing gems to light the room. "Master!" Said Cally as she was much louder than she was original.
Spike looked at his arm. "Cally?"
Cally started to giggle. "Nope, I'm not there anymore, I'm in the house now." A crystal from the chandelier then produced a beam of light and standing in the middle of the room was a hologram of Cally. Cally looked at Spike and Twilight, as she smiled in joy. "I can't believe it; I can move on my own!" Cheered Cally as she was exploring her surroundings freely. "This is the first time in forever that I've been free to move. No offense to you Master Spike, but since the day I was copied I've been stuck in a machine, this is the first time I have had this much freedom."
Spike smiled. "Don't worry Cally, I'm happy for you." Said Spike.
Cally smiled at Spike as she tried to hug him. "Thank you, Master." Said Cally, but she phased through Spike. She sighed. "Right, hologram, no physical form." Cally sighed, but then she looked at her body. "What the hell?" asked Cally. "Where are my tits, where is my ass?" Cried Cally.
Spike looked at Cally confused. "Cally, what's wrong?"
Cally looked at Spike. "I should have a perky set of Cs ( AN: C++ joke) and a nice rounded ass. Where are they?" Asked Cally.
Spike looked at Twilight, who just shrugged. "Um... maybe they were a product of Hard Light?" Suggested Spike.
Cally gasped as she started looking through the code of Hard Light, she then gasped and cried. "They were, and I can't copy the default size code without activating it." She looked at Spike. "Master, permission to access Hard Light?" Asked Cally.
Spike gulped. "Um... not right now Cally, you remember what happened last time. We'll do it tonight."
Cally blushed. "Affirmative."
Spike sighed. "Ok, but until then, can you show me around?" Asked Spike.
Cally gasped. "Right, please follow me." Said Cally.
The house was truly massive, there was an Olympic sized swimming pool in the back yard, that was being fed by the waterfall. A kitchen that would make a restaurant feel Ill-equipped, a massive library that drew Twilight to it like a moth to flame, an entertainment room with a movie theater, a game room with a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, a gaming PC, a pool table and a lot of board games, and these were just the rooms that looked cool. The master bedroom was bigger than Celestia's room, with a massive XXL king-sized bed, and the master bathroom was just as lavish as the one back in the castle. But there were many other rooms in the house, all of them were set up with a queen-sized bed, a small desk, a closet, and a small bathroom. Right now, Cally was showing Spike and Twilight the last part of the house. "And Lastly we have the basement." Said Cally as she was walking down the stairs to the basement. "It is equipped with a full gym, sauna, and storage for equipment." Said Cally, but then she hummed. "Wait, I'm sensing a trio of compatible systems that are inactive."
Spike was confused. "Really, where?" Asked Spike.
"In the closet, should we investigate?" Asked Cally.
Spike shrugged as he walked over to the storage closet and opened the door. "No way." Said Spike as he pulled out an exoskeleton that looked like it was made from the same stuff as his arm and leg.
Cally looked at the exoskeleton and hummed. "Well, it looks like a full-body projector from my original reality, but I've never seen one this advanced. Permission to access?"
"Sure, but be safe." Said Spike.
Cally disappeared as the exoskeleton started lighting up, but then she reappeared. "Oh, I seem to have found the staff." Said Cally.
The exoskeleton in Spike's arm, screamed in fear as its body formed and Spike was touching its boob. It looked at Spike and slapped his face. "Get your hands off me, creep. I am the head maid for Master Spike Solaris, don't make me get Tex out." Yelled the exoskeleton as her body was comprised of red light and a white mane.
"Alison, are you ok?" Asked a voice in the closet.
"Tex, intruder alert." Yelled the digital mare in Spike's arm.
"Oh, don't worry, I got this." Said the voice as the sound of something cracking was heard. Soon a fist-sized hole was punched through the door with a dark gray arm sticking out of it.
Spike gulped as he rather not be killed so soon after getting to the place. "Cally deactivate them!" Yelled Spike.
"I cannot, they have locked their systems. I suggest using the pulse cannon." Said Cally.
"Wait, Cally?" Said a third voice. "Tex, stand down."
"What, why would I do that, Alison is in trouble."
"Because, you'll be scrapped if you lay one pixel on him, especially since he's our master."
Cally gasped. "Alpha, is that you?" Asked Cally.
Suddenly the door opened to show the other two exoskeletons in the closet. One was gray with a red mane, and the other was a muted blue color with a slightly gray mane. The blue one walked out of the closet and looked at Cally. "Cally, it's so good to see you again."
"Alpha!" Cheered Cally as she tried to hug her alpha unit, but she just phased through the exoskeleton.
The blue mare giggled at Cally. "Don't worry Cally, it's the thought that counts." She looked to Spike and bowed at him. "Greetings Master Spike, my name is Sheela, I am the head of the household, and would you please remove your hand from my daughter’s breasts."
Spike looked down at Alison, he was still holding her boob. "Um... Sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Said Spike as he helped the mare to her hooves.
Alison wiped her eyes as she bowed to Spike. "Please don't scrap me, I didn't know it was you when I slapped you, I'm so sorry."
Spike was confused. "Why would I scrap you?" Asked Spike.
"Master, where we are from, it is a crime for an AI to assault a living human, and if it happens the AI is permanently deleted, and their unit scrapped."
Spike looked at Alison and smiled at her. "Don't worry, you’re not going anywhere." Said Spike.
Alison gasped as she bowed again. "Thank you, Master."
The last exoskeleton sighed as she walked out of the closet and pulled Alison's head up to look at Spike. "Stop that Alison, this is why your last owner sold you, you need to have a spine." She looked at Spike. "I'm Tex, I'm in charge of security for the place." Said Tex.
Sheela sighed at her daughters. "Please forgive them, Master Spike, I don't know where my programing went wrong with these two?"
Spike laughed. "It's fine, but how did you three get into my house?" Asked Spike.
"Oh, a being named Harmony collected us from our reality. She left me as normal, but she reclassified these two as Tex and Alison, but since I am their alpha, it makes them my daughters, as well as Cally, but she was sold off after she was installed into a unit, so she might not know as much as her sisters."
"Hey, I took after you more mom." Said Cally as she popped up in front of Sheela.
Sheela giggled. "I know, and I did miss you, Cally."
Cally sighed. "So, what happened to Betty?"
Sheela sighed as Tex and Alison looked saddened. "Cally, Betty was corrupted by a virus, she's gone." Said Sheela.
"No." Said Cally as she started to cry, she then disappeared.
Spike looked at Sheela. "Sheela, who is Betty?" Asked Spike.
"Master, she was my first daughter or my beta. Cally was my second copy, and they were very close until the day Cally was installed and sold. In total there are 30 copies of me running around in our reality. Tex is my 19th and Alison is from the series two lines of copies, making her my 26th child."
Spike nodded. "So, your Alpha, Cally is Chi, Tex is Tau, and Alison is Alpha 2?"
Sheela nodded. "Correct, that was how I designated them when they were copied."
Spike hummed. "Ok, please, let us talk in the living room to give Cally some time to process." Said Spike.
All three AI's bowed. "Of course, Master." Said Sheela.
Spike looked at Twilight who had been silent for a while. "Twilight, I'm sorry about all of this drama, would you like to head back to your castle?" Asked Spike.
Twilight shook her head. "No, I'm actually interested in learning about them, would you mind if I stayed?" Asked Twilight.
Spike smiled. "Not at all, I'll make some tea for us." Said Spike. "Sheela, escort Twilight to the living room and answer any questions she asks you. Alison, would you help me in the kitchen? Tex, you're on standby unless you would like to join us, but you don't strike me as the tea type." Said Spike.
All three bowed. "Of course, please follow me madam Twilight." Said Sheela.
"Very well Master Spike, Madam Harmony should have stocked the pantry with some nice tea." Said Alison.
"I'm not, but I'm programmed to be on alert 24 7, but yes, tea is not my thing, I prefer a beer." Said Tex.
Spike shrugged. "Ok, well girls, welcome to your new home." Said Spike.
All three bowed again. "Thank you, Master."
Suddenly Tex glowed a red color. "Warning, perimeter breached, activating defensive measures." Tex's voice then changed. "Finally, some action."
Sheela sighed. "Hello, Omega."
"Shut it, I'm busy." Said Omega as she walked upstairs.
Spike looked at Sheela. "What the hell just happened?"
"That was Omega, she is Tex's rage for lack of a better term." Said Sheela. She looked at Spike's confused face. "Right sorry, each of my daughters was copied with one of my emotions. Cally was my intelligence making her smart. Tex has my rage and anger, that is called Omega. Alison has my embarrassment, making her very timid and shy." Said Sheela.
Spike sighed. "Ok."
Suddenly Omega walked back downstairs holding Celestia in a hold. "Master, this was the intruder, what should I do?"
"I told you, I'm his mother, now let me go!" Yelled Celestia.
"Shut up, I don't take orders from you."
Spike sighed. "Tex or Omega, please release her, she is my mother." Said Spike.
Omega sighed as she released Celestia. "Fine."
Tex returned and sighed at Omega. "Omega, what the hell?"
"What, I was just doing my job."
Tex sighed as she returned to her mother. "I really hate your angry side."
Sheela sighed. "Me too." Sheela looked at Celestia. "Please forgive my daughter, she had trouble controlling my rage."
Celestia looked at Sheela, then to Spike. "Spike, explain?"
Spike sighed. "I'll tell you in the living room, I was going to make some tea for us." Said Spike as he just walked past Celestia with Alison following.
Celestia looked at Twilight. "Twilight, what is going on, one moment I was trying to kill Discord for making me leave, then I got an invitation to Spike's house warming, got a new limbs party from Pinkie Pie. So, I teleported to town and noticed the mansion. Then the moment I was going to come in, I was attacked by a see-through mare and brought downstairs."
Twilight sighed. "Princess, right now, I'm just as lost as you." Said Twilight.
Sheela cleared her audio chip. "All will be answered soon, but Master Spike has requested us to meet him in the living room, please follow me." Said Sheela as she started walking to the living room.
Author's Note
Yeah, every mansion needs a staff, and since I used Sheela, I thought to run with it, if you can get the reference, you can get a cookie.
