Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
C.A.L.L.Y Pt.3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpike sighed as he looked at Rarity. "So, can we just forget that Cally did that?" Asked Spike. But he got no response from Rarity, so he sighed again. Spike then heard the kettle start whistling so he got up from his seat, he walked over to the stove and took the water off the heat. He then started pouring himself and the others a cup of tea. He waited for the leaves to release their flavor and once they did, he brought the cups of the warm drink back to the table. He was interested in seeing how much longer this would go on. "Cally, start a stopwatch." Said Spike.
"Starting Stopwatch." Said Cally. She popped up from Spike's screen. "Master, what happened to me?"
Spike sighed as he took a sip of the tea. Spike placed the cup on the table. "Cally, we discovered what Hard Light is, it was an aftermarket program that is used for sexual desires." Said Spike.
This made Cally blush. "Warning, system overheating, diverting all power to internal fans." Said Cally as Spike's arm started to hum loudly.
Spike sighed as he just waited for the three females in the room to come back to him. 'Man, it's like they're all virgins...Wait, how old are Fluttershy and Rarity?' Thought Spike. "Rarity, I'm home." Cried a voice from the front door. Then the sound of someone running towards the kitchen was heard. "Rarity, I'm going to make some lunch, I promise not to mess up the kitchen." Yelled a little girl sized filly as she entered the kitchen, she was just as white as Rarity, but her mane was light grayish pink and purple, and slightly curled at the bangs.
Spike looked at the filly, while she was silent. "Trust me, it's a long story, but you said you were hungry. So am I, so let me cook for you." Said Spike. The little filly's stomach growled loudly, but she was unmoving, Spike sighed. "I'll take that as a yes." Said Spike. He walked over to the fridge and opened it. The fridge was well stocked, but just as Spike assumed it was all vegetables and fruits. 'I'm going to be a vegetarian for a year, aren't I?' Thought Spike. He started to look around the shelves for something he could make. He found some bell peppers, a head of lettuce, a red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, a block of cheese, and a bottle of vinaigrette dressing. "I can work with this." Said Spike. He pulled out all the food and brought them to the counter. Spike looked at the filly. "Sorry, but can you grab me a cutting board and a few spices?" Asked Spike.
The filly shook her head to focus. "Right, sorry." Said the Filly as she walked over to Spike and opened a cabinet, she pulled out a wooden cutting board and placed it on the counter for Spike. She looked up to Spike. "I'm Sweetie Belle, what happened to my sister and Fluttershy?" Asked the filly now known as Sweetie Belle.
Spike looked at the filly. "A whole lot of crazy happened. I'm Spike Draco by the way, it's nice to meet you. Can you show me where Rarity keeps the spices?" Asked Spike.
Sweetie Belle nodded. "She keeps them in the cabinet to the left of you." Said, Sweetie. "Do you mind if I take a seat? I just got home from school."
Spike shook his head. "No, not at all." Said Spike. Sweetie smiled and took a seat at the table. Spike pulled out a knife from the knife block and started chopping the vegetables. "So, Sweetie, I've been wondering something, how old are Rarity and Fluttershy?" Asked Spike. "And the same to you too?"
Sweetie Belle hummed. "Well, I'm 12 years old, Rarity is 22 and Fluttershy is 21. It's my turn now. Spike, what are you? You kinda look like what Princess Twilight described as a human, but she never mentioned metal limbs."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, that's where all of the crazy comes in. I'm from another reality, and somehow, I got transported here yesterday. As for the limbs, when I was dropped here, I woke up missing my leg and arm. It freaked me the hell out when I woke up. I was panicking and thought I was kidnapped from my hotel room in Paris. Then I met Fluttershy and thought I was having a hallucination when I first saw a ponygirl with wings. But I passed out after she said she was going to go get help. I woke up in Fluttershy's living room, and I met Fluttershy, Rainbow, AJ, Rarity, and Twilight, but I didn't get to meet Pinkie Pie. Twilight asked me some questions and after getting nowhere, I found my wallet and I told them that my mother was Celestia Solaris, CEO of Canterlot Corp, this freaked them out. So, Twilight looked to Fluttershy and she asked to get my father Discord there. He showed up not long after that, and then he goes and tells me that there are infinite copies of him. I still don't get it myself, but he teleported us to my mother’s castle, still don't know where it is, but I got to see my family again, and after eating dinner with my mom, I went to bed. The next morning, I woke up, took a bath, and when I was going to get dressed, my dad pops in and gives me my arm and leg. I don't remember what happened next but when I woke up again, I had my arm and leg. Turns out that my dad added a ton of stuff and some of his magic. He taught me how to teleport and I saw Fluttershy again when I teleported into her living room. She offered to show me around town so I can explore this world, that I'm stuck in for a year or so, then when we got here, something that is not appropriate for little girls, accidentally happened and now Fluttershy, Rarity, and Cally are out of commission." Said Spike as he brought over a salad for the group. "Here you go, Sweetie." Said Spike.
Sweetie smiled at the food. "Thanks, Spike." Said Sweetie as she started digging in. She scooped a large amount into her mouth and swallowed it. Sweetie looked at Spike. "So, Spike, where are you going to stay while your here?"
Spike stopped mid-bite as he tried to think about his answer. "Hmm, I don't really know. I could stay with my dad, but I have a feeling that's somewhere unhospitable. I could stay with my mom and aunt, where ever they live, but I don't want to make it look like I'm desperate to find a place. I could find a place of my own." Said Spike. Spike looked at his arm. "Cally, you back with me yet?" Asked Spike.
The screen popped up and Cally looked at Spike, but she was embarrassed. "Master Spike, I'm so so sorry about what happened. I have placed Hard Light under administrator control so it will require both of our approval to access it." Cally looked around at the room. "Master where is Madam Fluttershy?"
Spike shrugged. "Passed out on the ground. Rarity is frozen, and I made lunch for her sister." Spike turned to show Cally to Sweetie Belle. "Cally, this is Sweetie Belle, she's Rarity's little sister. Sweetie Belle, this is Cally, she's an AI that runs my arm and leg."
Sweetie looked at Cally. "She's so cute, what can you do?" Asked Sweetie.
Cally smiled. "Thank you, as for what I can do, I am programmed with 188 open programs for use by my master, currently there is one program that is locked. Would you like me to list all open programs?" Asked Cally.
Sweetie nodded. "Please do."
"Very well, Madam Sweetie Belle. This unit is programmed with a camera, printer, messenger, propulsion system, shield, mental teleporter, a database with all information on this world to assist my master, shockwave cannon, stun baton, translator..." This went on for a few more minutes. "... timer, alarm, stopwatch, and massage function." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. "Man, I was starving." Said Spike as he ate half of the large salad by himself while Cally was talking to Sweetie. Spike looked at Sweetie, she was in awe of Cally. "Cally, what time is it?"
"Around 11:30, Master." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. "How long has the stopwatch been running?"
"20 minutes 13 seconds." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. 'Man, I didn't think they would still be out of it.' Thought Spike. "Who... What... Where... When... Huh?" Said Rarity as she started to look around trying to get back to reality. She looked at Spike and Sweetie. "Sweetie, why are you home so early?" Asked Rarity.
"Sis, have you met Cally, she's so cool." Said, Sweetie.
Rarity nodded as she was slowly putting together what happened. She looked at Spike. "Spike, how long was I out?" Asked Rarity.
Spike shrugged. "About 20 minutes. Hey about what happened with Cally, can we just forget that ever happened?" Asked Spike.
Rarity blushed; she cleared her throat. "Spike, I'm sorry for saying yes, I had no idea that would happen."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, don't worry, I didn't know what was going to happen. Well, I had a feeling that something like that was possible when she asked if we were over age, but I was just so stunned from seeing Cally like that, I couldn't say anything." Spike looked at Fluttershy, she was still out. "Rarity, is she going to be ok?" Asked Spike.
Rarity sighed. "Yes, but she's going to be like that for a while, the poor dear never could handle something so, interesting. The best thing for her now is rest."
Spike groaned. "I'll take her back to her home so she can rest." Said Spike. He carefully picked up Fluttershy and pictured Fluttershy's living room. Once he had a good mental image of the location, Spike snapped his fingers and teleported back to Fluttershy's house.
Spike sighed as he looked around at the room, he was at least in the right place. He looked down at Fluttershy and gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Fluttershy." Said Spike. He placed her on the couch. "Get some rest, I'll drop by later to check on you." Said Spike. He then pictured Rarity's kitchen and snapped back.
