Since Vex's arrest and banishment to Tartarus, Dragnet and I have been doing the usual, stamping out crime, talking, and since she brought in a game console I'm shocked has such nice graphics for me to keep myself entertained, things started to look better in the city of Manehattan. The items Vex stole were returned and I've gotten some upgrades since by Cyber Pony Tech, so long as the crown foots the bill.

I'm a bit faster with new legs, I've gotten a new set of forelegs that have tools that can help me get into locked doors, a plasma cutter, and a new face covering with a helmet, makes me look like a royal guard, per Luna's request, though I think my dad might have requested it, He plans to visit soon, but due to chaos in a town called Ponyville, he's been busy.

Other upgrades I've gotten are new retractable wings! I can fly now, Bolt and Gear installed them, they have a recharge station installed which pulls from the city's magic power grid. The wings themselves are magic powered, and can allow me to fly and hover without making noise.

I've also been given a new face cover, instead of a metal skull you see a facsimile reconstruction of my old face, everypony loves it and I only use the Helmet for when I'm on the beat.

Today however, it's a bit different. I'm on my first break, my partner didn't show up on account of being sick with the unicorn flu, nasty business, if I recall, Unicorns can't do magic besides basic levitation, the rest is the flu, but much more nasty. I decided to take the day to visit and spend time with her.

-Dragnet's perspective-

Uuuuughhhh.....

I hate this....

I hate----

Grabbing the trash can as quick as I could, I vomited, it was most unsettling as I had to use my hooves, Unicorns weren't as nimble with their hooves as Earth Ponies were, still, I wished I had company, I tried to manipulate the television to turn on, only for my horn to fizzle out.

"Shit...." I groaned.

It's then a 'thunk' was heard outside the door, then another, then another.

"Hello?" There was no answer.

The apartment I lived in wasn't the greatest, there were rats as big as foals, which I swore had turf wars in the walls, and odd sounds at night which often or not where the neighbors, still something or somepony was at my door. My police-mare instincts kicked in, I pulled my gun out as best I could, least I had basic levitation.

"This is the home of a police officer," I called out, which I earned a coughing fit for. "-Cagh Cagh- Entering uninvited will earn you a bullet in the flank!" I groaned. "Ugh, or I'll throw up on you..."

I heard a weird 'quaah' sound as the lock on my door flicked to unlock and the door opened suddenly.

"I WARNED YOU!" I yelled before firing a round.

'BANG!'

'PING!'

I opened my eyes as to why the bullet would bounce off my would be intruder, looking at the door I was greeted by a large silhouette figure, a mare by the looks of it with a set of wings, Pegasus maybe?

As they stood there two beams of light came from their eyes, and scanned the room until they reached me, triggering my headache to get worse, it's when the lights went off and I heard a whirring sound as two blue eyes light up on their head.

"Wait..." I mumbled. "Blue?"

Speak of the devil and she shall appear, or at least enter your apartment.

"Interesting way to welcome your Partner, Dragnet?" Blue said as she enters, in her hoof, she had a bag. "Why's it so dark in here?" She said, turning on the light.

I flinched and used what little telekinesis I had to put the light out. "Because the light makes my head hurt worse." I said as Blue looked at me. She came up and gave me a look.

"Scans show your fever is quite high, 110, I'll call the doctor."

"No!" I said shaking my head. "I saw one, they said get some rest and eat and drink." I groaned. "I can't keep anything down!"

She sighed and moved to my stove, it was a small apartment, a bed, stove, fridge, and some cabinets, and a TV, all in one room, wasn't much but it was home, she sat down and got some pots and pans.

"Blue," I said. "I can't keep nothing down, I said. What are you doing?"

She looked at me with a smile. "I'm cooking you a proper meal. I was a good cook in life, Plus, I saved some of mom's recipes, She was a Unicorn, had a good home cure for Unicorn Flu!"

I groaned but smiled, least I'll get something in me for a bit before it ends up in the trash.

Blue went to work, putting stuff in a pot and in no time, started stirring the stew. I snorted the mucus lodged in my head and spat in the trash, gross. She stopped and let the brew cook, sitting by my side, couldn't resist smiling at the 'Oil The Cook' apron she somehow found and wore.

"Where'd you get that?" I tried hard not to giggle, only to fail and get rewarded with a coughing fit. More mucus for the trash can.

"Oh, it wasn't easy. But I had to have it special ordered." She said with a grin. "How are we feeling?"

"Like a corpse." I said with a snort.

Blue laughed. "Trust me, it can't be as bad as that."

I rolled my eyes as I smirked. "Okay, how about some girl talk?"

Blue's head tilted. "What about?"

"Well, how are your wings working out?" I asked pointing at the new attachments on my partner's side.

Blue extended one of her wings and gave them a test flap, making it blow refreshing cool breeze on me.

"Great, I used them to fly here, and the face helps me not freak ponies out so much anymore." she said with a grin.

"The Facsimile face is great too." I said as I put my hoof on her cheek. "They even got the fur right."

Blue rolled her eyes and turned back to the stove to stir the pot. "Well, the stew is almost done. Mom called it Flu-away. I never tried it but she said it's better to inhale it first." She put it in a bowl after it was done and gave it to me. "It'll clear you up, that's for sure."

I gave her a skeptic look but did as told, letting the steam rise up into my nostrils, I sniffed, sniffed, and sniffed again. suddenly I could breath.

"Ah...." I took a sip, oh it was soooo good. I sipped again, and eventually the soup, which was really a broth was gone. I licked my lips and smiled contently, strangely it stayed down! "Okay, your getting a can of oil for hearths warming!"

Blue gave a cute toothy grin, she returned to the stove and prepared another bowl. "Book says two bowls."

I gladly took the second bowl and with in moments its contents were gone. I sighed as I gave it back. "So, back to our conversation, I wanted to ask, you never married, any crushes?"

"Not really," She said. "Well, there was one pony, but it didn't work out. Different social standings, you see. He was from canterlot, and a unicorn. Those smug ponies think their superior, I liked him though, for whatever reason."

"Cause you were young and silly?" I said with a smirk.

Blue looked to the side and nodded. "Yup, pretty much!" She took my bowl, and proceeded to clean around my apartment, Took out the trash, and even opened my blinds enough to allow some light to enter without giving me a blinding headache!

She'd be a nice maid, if you got past the cyborg part.

"So," I continued with the girl talk. "Have you ever been in bed with anypony?"

I never seen Blue, let alone a cyborg drop a plate and freeze up entirely, I'd worry the question literally froze her or made her crash. But then she began stammering and I could see a blush on her cheeks, didn't know she could still do that!

"I-I-I-....Where'd that question come from!?" Blue asked as she looked around. "Oh, it's hot in here, are you hot? I'm hot. SO hot I think my processor's melting! I'm gonna open the window."

As she did that I couldn't help but giggle, so my Blue can still be flustered, and my goodness it was adorable. When she opened the window she stuck her face out, it was a cool spring breeze so it was nice outside. I continued.

"Come now, Blue, your an adult." I said as I smiled, pausing a second to cough my head off. "You can't possibly haven't at least 'thought' about sex before."

Blue was quiet as she pulled her head back in the room, I worried she'd break the heater she was leaning on, despite her size and metallic body, she only weighed five hundred, and forty seven pounds. Still a heavy girl, though.

"I...I never really..." She looked away but slowly turned back to me. "Not with stallions much," She said before stammering again. "W-Well, a few, but.... ah.... I guess you can say I liked both, back then.... before..."

Ah, that explained a lot. "So you couldn't decide?"

"nnnooo.... I~...ah..." She ran her hoof through her fiber-optic mane, "I just~, couldn't find somepony interested.... and I wanted foals, someday..." She sat on her rump and looked at her stomach, Saddened. "Not that it matters now." A metal hoof touched her stomach and all that was heard was a metallic 'Clank'.

My ears wilted a bit, I meant to tease, not upset the poor thing. Slowly I got out of bed and cantered up to her. "I'm sorry, Blue. You would have been a great mom." I hugged her, my body protested at her shoulder brick pushing into my rub but I didn't care.

"Well..." She said, looking away. "It don't matter now, nopony wants me as their mom, not a freak like me."

She was shocked when I smacked her nose, it was the most I could do to get her attention, and not break my hoof on her armored body.

Honestly~! Couldn't they have made her more pliable? or give her fluffy fur?

"Your not a freak!" I said, I wanted to yell but couldn't. "If a pony can't see how beautiful you are, they don't deserve you!"

But she only chuckled morbidly. "Beautiful? How am I beautiful?" she said, she lifted her leg, the sound of the motor inside the joint was used as her emphases. "I'm a monster."

I shook my head at her. "Your more beautiful then you think. Sure, your different, but how many ponies can say their coat can reflect like silver, or have this nice blue shine to it?" She chuckled. "Or, have literal glowing blue eyes? or, have guns that pop out of their sides? or unlock doors, or any of the crazy cool shit you can do?"

Blue looked outside and looked at the ponies trotting the streets, she sighed and leaned on the wall. "What about the fact I'm not very soft, I suck at cuddling, and if I lay in a bed it's frame would bust?"

I shook my head. "Your plenty warm though, I don't know if it's the magic fusion core inside your chest, or what. But you make a great hot water bottle on cold days, your funny, your smart, and you always came to work even that time you had that nasty Trojan Pony virus after accessing the Library database."

That was a nasty week.

Blue still didn't look one hundred percent on board, so I stamped my hoof and did something she didn't expect. I leaned in and kissed her, really catching her off guard, her guns popped out and my ceiling got shot up, hope the neighbors weren't home. When I pulled away she was blushing and I could swear there were exclamation points in her eyes.

She stood for a while but she looked with it still, I don't believe she's offended, just caught off guard, I giggled as I push her guns back into their ports and tapped her nose.

"If nopony takes you, then I will!" I said as I trotted to bed.

Blue stammered before getting back to the stove, she was quiet for a while but the smile on her face was adorable, I still love the facsimile face, it was cute in a way and I like the fur. Eventually she must have filed the event away for later and continued with her work.

Once done, Blue scanned me again. "Your fever's going down a bit, I still think you should call a doctor."

"OH MY GOSH!" I giggled. "Your mother-hening me to death here. Why aren't you out busting criminals?"

"I got the day off, plus we kind of cleaned the city up a bit." She said as she took the flight pack off, looking like her earth pony self. "This keeps up, Manehattan won't need me." she then snorted, "Probably lock me up in a warehouse."

I guess she wants to act like that didn't happen, or Wants to save it, Dunno, really.

Shaking my head I sighed. "I doubt you'll go into storage, Blue." I said as I looked at the newspaper I had beside me, "Hey, We could go to this town called Ponyville, sometime?" I showed her the photo of the town. "It'll be good to get out of the city."

Blue raised a brow and took the paper. "That place will set my systems ablaze with how much chaos it seems to attract these days. Apparently, something called a Discord went rampant there recently."

Pouting I sighed. "C'mon. You and I need time out of the city, besides, you can't leave town on your own. not unless we put something stupid on you, like a rubber skin."

Blue's brows furrowed as she looked away. "Great, now I'm a freak that has to stay on a leash."

"No, that's not what I meant!" Shaking my head I pulled her closer with what little magic I had. Wasn't easy, she weighed a lot! "I mean, we can both go!"

Blue looked at me with her lips pursed to one side. "Fine, yeah... that could be nice. Hopefully we go, and there's no crazy shit going on."

I grinned. "That's the spirit, and hey, keep the guns put away, okay?"

She looked at me with a raised brow and extended her rifles, they pointed upward so she won't turn and smack me with the left rifle's barrel.

"Sorry, I can't take em off. They're built in, so they have to stay. Besides," She twirled them. "How can you not love Law and Justice!?"

Now it was my turn to raise my brow. "You named them?"

She stared at me a time before shrugging and grinning. "Why not?" She asked with an accusatory smirk. "I seem to recall you naming your service pistol Lady Grace."

Holding my revolver in a protective manner. "You leave Grace out of this!"

She giggled at my antics, soon we were both laughing.

-Blue's Perspective-

Eventually I left Dragnet that night, we talked more about random stuff, eventually we both agreed to go to Ponyville when she was feeling better. I agreed but after the next upgrade, which was set for tonight.

At the Precinct I sat at my chair waiting as Gear and Bolt brought in the new fangled gizmo that was supposed to be put on me.

It was a set of new hooves.... Honestly?

"Honestly?" I repeated what I thought as I looked at the things. "Don't these work good enough as is?" I asked, holding my current hooves up.

Bolt looked at me and rolled her eyes. "Perhaps, but these have better shock absorbers, the fingers are more nimble, and plus the new shoulders we have will make it so you could take greater falls." She said as she began to disconnect my hooves. I snorted and looked aside in disgust.

You won't realize what it's like to watch someone literally take you apart like you were a machine needing maintenance, or maybe you do, but trust me, this is more extreme.

I felt my legs get disconnected and the new shoulder joints put on, my new hooves came afterwards as well as I felt Gear pull something off my back panel.

"The hell?" I chided. "C'mon! Some notice first!"

Gears grinned sheepishly as he showed me what he was doing. "Sorry, kid. Princesses commissioned something to be installed. You won't feel a thing."

"IF I feel anything, I'm shooting your ear off." I grouched on and on. These upgrades turned out to be Celestia's doing, She wanted me to have more freedom, but also wanted to make sure I stayed in her sights. Ugh, she's not working well to stay on my good side! Simply put she put a tracking device in me.

Cunt.

The other upgrades, it turned out was to make me less sluggish and more lighter. I didn't know for what, I felt like a new chess piece in a game of gods. I had a bad feeling in my processors.

I wish I was wrong.
