Quite a Temper

Gears was trying his best not to yell at the mare who showed little respect for him or the rest of the male staff. He was currently making a sandwich for the professor, once he finished he began to walk to her office passing Doctor fisherline who gave him a sympathetic look. Blueblood was nervously following Gears along the way. Once Gears and blueblood got to the office door, he looked over to blue.

“Are you okay blue?" Gears asked in concerned

“Y-yes"

“Really, you look scared"

“Maybe a little"

“It's me, isn’t it?"

“N-no its-"

“You don't need to lie to me. I'm sorry I was angry."

“You did nothing, mister Gears"

“I scared you, that's enough.” he said was a sad expression on his face, Now Blueblood felt bad, Gears knocked on the door, once got a response he made his way inside

“Oh the pet finally made me my sandwich ,give it here" the professor ordered coldly

I'm not a pet ma'am" Gears Gritted his teeth already annoyed

“Sure you aren't." she said condescendingly. "Look, if it was my choice you would be at home with that colt and show him how to do colt things I don't know."

“I was assigned to project by the princess herself, being her pr- her most trusted friend and most promising scientist is the reason”

“Sure you are that way you're at the bench and I’m at the head.” she said sarcastically

Well I’ll be taking my leave now!” he stated a bit of smoke coming from his notstarles

“Okay, hope you and the stallions have fun playing pertened.”

THAY”RE NOT PRETENDING WE”RE HERE TO- you know what I’ll be at my workstation sorry for yelling” Gears voice was trembling with barely contained anger. As he left the room, he fatly heard crossbones say “overly emotional stallions, typical.” as he closed the door behind him. Gears looked around the room, looking for Blueblood, he found him talking to doctor Fisherline. He walked over to them after hearing a bit of their conversation.

“So, how is Gears to you? I noticed you were a bit scared when you were next to him.” Fisherline asked

“He's nice, it's just that he looks scary.” Blue said sadly,

“It's okay, it takes time to get used to something new and he is a new type of pony, so don’t worry, everyone will get used to him- eventually.”

Gears chose that moment to walk over. “Hey, Fisherline right? thanks for keeping eye on Blueblood”

“No problem, he was a little angel.”

“Good to hear”, after a brief pause “so Fisherline do want to see the princess note on me.” he bluntly asked

“W- wait what!?”

“Yeah, me and Blueblood were going to see her after this and since you were interested in me, she wouldn’t mind sharing her note.”

“O-okay, thank you Gears I won't forget this.” she said exactly. Gears chuckled and picked up Blueblood, putting him on his back. After finishing their conversation, he walked over to his workstation and began to cut the metal.

Gears finished making the model frame, he was about to start on the wiring the frame when professor Crossbones came out of her office. Everyone in unison looked at the professor waiting for her to do something.

“Good, now that I have all of your attention. It's time for you all to leave due to the princess’ worker protective agency. You all will have an 8 hour work day and yes some of you did come here late but I’m going to let it slide for today.” Gears tapped blueblood on the shoulder to wake him up from his nap. As he started to clean up his station.

Blueblood strued from his slumber to everyone packing up their things. He hopped off the table and stretched his legs. He saw the mare who mister Gears made a sandwich for, the mare walked to a unicorn stallion and talked to him. But then Blueblood saw the stallion looked uncomfortable but then she grabbed the stallion’s flank. He blushed and she pushed him all the way back to her office. Blueblood was about to ask Gears what they were doing but Gears picked him up and walked into the elevator.

“You okay blue you looked confused.” Gears asked

“I don’t know, mister Gears, the mare in the office just seems weird.”

“Oh, she is a lot more than weird,” Gears muttered under his breath

“What?”

“Nothing blue, it's nothing.”

The elevator got to the bottom and opened, both father and son saw Doctor Fisherline waiting for them. She saw Gears and waved to him. The two started to walk out of the building and walked down to the castle.

Canterlot castle
1600hours, march 19, 1980

Red Harvest was on partral when she saw two ponies come to the gates. She saw that strange stallion with a unicorn mare walking next to him. She also noticed the colt was on the stallion's back. The three got closer and Harvest had to do a standard procedure. “Holt state your business and names”

“Hello mis Harvest '' Blueblood greeted with a big grin on his face, Harvest was about to get closer but then she remembered the taller and freaky stallion that Blueblood was sitting on.

“Uh, hey kid, how's your new d-dad treating you?”

“Mister gears is really nice to me and he’s helping mis Fisherline with her r-re-re-”

“My research well more like uh spontaneous side project” doctor Fisherline finished

“Oookay, so what are you here for?”

“Well, me and Blueblood, we’re going to have tea with the princess and Fisherline will be joining us.”

“I’m going to need some proof Gears, it's Gears right?”

“Yes and here you go” he pulled out a letter and hoofed it over to her. She skimmed it and then got to the royal seal

“Okay.” Harvest was more confused than ever. This stallion has to be very close with the princess if he could just bring anyone with him or he could just be full of himself and think his just do anything, she didn’t know

“I will be escorting you three to the princess's chambers,”

“Really? I never need one before”

“Well, it's just a precaution sir” she lied

The four walked through the halls of the castle passing multiple guards; they all had fearful or disgusted looks directed towards Gears. Blueblood noticed how everyone was looking at mister Gears. He doesn't know how Gears can keep smiling after seeing everyone like that. Finally, the four got to the princess’ room. Harvest opened the door and let them in.

“Gears it's good to see and Blueblood good to see the little prince” twilight gave a nuzzle to both of them. She then turned to the two mares in the room. She noticed one had a lab coat. The other was one of her guards. She knows why her guard was there, her student is strange to them and on top of all that, he would say nothing about it. She really wanted to do something, but Gears didn’t want to make a big deal about it.

“So Gears, who's your friend here?”

This is doctor fisherline she was interested on what I am and I was thinking you might like to share some notes with her”

“Well I do like helping with research”

“T-Thank you, your Majesty.” fisherline nervestaly thanked

“Think nothing of it, guard why don’t you take doctor fisherline and blueblood to the library. My notes are in the H wing,it's a book titled hybrids .”

“Yes ma'am,” harvest saturated

“Mister Gears I don’t want to go to the library, I want to stay with the princess.” Blueblood winded

“Well the princess wants you to help the mares find the book” Gears said abit of his anger bubbling up

No you and the princess just don’t want me here”

Yes, we speak about something private, so just go with them” Gears said smoke began to come from his notrales, the two mare backed away not wanting to get in the way

NO I want to stay”

BLUEBLOOD YOU WILL GO WITH THE MARES NOW!” Gears snarled, his face contorted in anger thinking of everything that happened that day with professor crossbones. The room was silent then a sound of liquid hitting the tile floor. Everyone looked at bluebloods' hooves and saw a slowly growing puddle on the floor. Gears noticed blueblood was shivering with fear, with tears falling down his face.

“I’m sorry blueblood I didn’t mean to-” Gears was about to go to Blueblood side but he was interrupted by twilight's hoof. Gears gave Blueblood an apologetic look which did not go unnoticed by the good Doctor. Twilight cleared her throat and looked at her guard

“Take blueblood Get him cleaned up, doctor firsherline I apologized for what has happened I will personally make it up to you”

The two mares were visibly shaking at the outburst but after the princess spoke they calmed down. Harvest picked up Blueblood and walked out of the room. Doctor fisherline bowed her head and did the same.

You really need to work on your temper Gears” Twilight stated with authority

“I know huh I can't believe I did that” Gears had regret painted on his face form what has happened

“Gears you just don’t yell at a foal because they don't do what you say”

“I know I didn’t mean it I just had a bad day”

“What happened?”

“Just the professor you put in charge, she is extremely obnoxious, to say the least.”

“I heard that she can be a bit rude especially with stallions, but she has never failed me before so just bear with me for now.”

“so how does blueblood feel about you” twilight changing the subjected

“I think he’s terrified of me, I don’t blame him. Have to live with a freak like me who wouldn’t be”

“Gears don’t say things like that. I know it's hard for you because of how you look, people judge what they don’t understand but don’t be ashamed of who you are.”

“I'm not twilight, it's just sometimes I walk out of my home and feel eyes all on me. Foals run in fear of me, heck the ponies that put with me are you and dash and I don’t know how long she got left.”

“Gears you not alone all you have to do is just make some new friends”

“How, everyone is afraid of me?

“Not everyone that, mare doctor fisherline you bright her here because she wasn’t afraid of you.”

“Problady is now”

“I’m not too sure. Yes you scared her but I’m sure she will understand”

“Will she?”

“I'm sure she will and I know you're going to apologize to Blueblood” Twilight walked to the table and set up the tea cups. A cleaning stallion walked in and began to clean up the puddle. Gears walked out of the room and headed down the hall looking for Blueblood. He turned the corner and bumped into doctor Fisherline. She fell down and looked up and saw Gears looking at her in concern.

“You okay Fisherline?” Gears offered his hoof.

“Yes thank you” she looked at his hoof and saw that the claws on his hooves moved. She grabbed his hoof and got up. She looked at Gears, noticing he had a regretful look on his face.

“Are you okay Gears?

“Yeah its just I-I just want to apologize I didn’t mean to scary you”

“Thank you Gears but I’m not the pony that you should be apologizing to”

“I know I’m looking for him. Do you know where he is?”

“No but I do know that the Guard took him to get cleaned up.”

“Okay I know where you look now thank you” Gears trotted down the hall and turned the corner. After an hour Gears got to castle showers that were typically used by the royal guard. He breathed in and walked in the showers and saw Blueblood being washed by Red Harvest. Gears took off his clothes and walked into the showers rooms.
