"Alright agenda completely cleared,"

"*Affermtive beep*,"
"All calls on standby?"

"*Affermtive beep*,"
"Drinks and food?"

"*Affermtive beep*,"
"Guns loaded with extra ammo?"

"*Affermitve beeping*,"
"Alright! I got this," Six commented to himself while the eyebot buzzed next to him. "I just need to not screw this up,"

"*Cheerful beeping*,"
"Yeah-! What?" Confused by what ED-E had just suggested Six turned his head to the robot. "No... just... why? 'Human mating calls'? That's just wrong. Besides she ain't human,"

"*Coy beeping*,"
Six faced palmed at ED-E's response.

"Just... go Amelia will be here any minute,"

"*joyful beeping*,"
"I'm pretty sure Marie is waiting for you to play with her or something," Six shooed the eyebot away with a smile on his face while the Enclave robot floated away.

Staring down at the firing range Six held his chin for a moment.

"All through is this really appropriate for a date? Damion did offer a table at that restaurant maybe this wasn't such a good idea,"

Not having another second to rethink his plans when a pair of hands went over his eyes.

"Guess who," Surprised by the synth's voice Six gently pushed her hands from his bionic eyes.

"Well seeing how you are the only one who can sneak up on me it wasn't a hard guess," Amelia smiled while crossing her arms.

"I was actually trying to make you jump. You make a cute sound whenever you do," The Synthic replied causing the courier to blush slightly.

"I do not,"

She nodded.

"You totally do," Amelia argued back with a sly smile on her face, her eyes drifted behind Six when she spotted the surprise he had for her. "Ohhhhh what is that?"

"Nothing much just some rattlesnake steaks with a bottle of scotch from Mr. House's personal collection," Six moved his hand to the table when moving his hands over to something over on the range covered by a cloth. "And some 'dessert' for later,"

Eyeing the covered object Ameila's tail began to wag in excitement for what could be under the piece of cloth.

(Equestria, Ponyville)

Running through the massive Storm that had been plaguing the small town none stop for the past several days, Starlight who had returned back to Ponyville after being 'escorted' out of the divided board of the western badlands had booked it back home.

Pushing the doors open Starlight ran forward not even caring about the mud she tracked in.

"Twilight! Twilight!"

Rushing up the stairs to the chamber that held the table of friendship Starlight ran forward.

"Twilight! I'm back we need to-" Pushing down the doors to the room Starlight froze at the sight of her friend staring at the table in front of her. "-talk?"

She hadn't been gone that long and it seemed to her that Twilight had been worse for wear, her purple fur looked almost pale as if she had been in shock.

"Twilight?" Starlight casually took a step forward, this got the princess's attention causing Twilight to rise up at her friend's return.

"Starlight!" Ran over to the princess and hugged her. "Your okay!"

Starlight froze before hugging her friend back.

"Of course I'm okay... Twilight are you good?" Starlight ask breaking the hug to which Twilight shook her head.

"No... no... I'm not... I'm so not good... so much is not good... all is not good... so not good," Twilight rambled causing Starlight to raise her brow at her friend's change in personality over a short amount of time.

"Twilight did something happen when I was gone?"

"Did something happen? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?!" She shot towards Starlight before grabbing her coat. "THEY HAVE SPIKE!"

"What?"

"Spike was taken shortly after you left for the badlands by..." Twilight shivered while holding her arms.

"By who?"

"Who do you think?" Twilight hissed with venom in her words. "HIM,"

"Him?" Starlight looked to the side for a moment before looking up at Twilight. "You mean Six?"

"YES! That... that... that monster! He came here broke into the castle and snatched up Spike! Killed two guards who tried to save Spike and wounded one," Twilight roared causing her student to flinch.

Confused Starlight watched the princess sit back down this time holding her head in her hands, thinking for a moment Starlight shook her head not able to make heads or tails of the accusations that Twilight just spoke. She had met Six once and despite their 'talk' they had not so long ago the courier didn't seem to be the kind of person to kidnap someone after letting her and some guards go.

"Why would he do such a thing?" Starlight asked to which Twilight shook.

"To 'get back at us' why else?" Twilight answered. "He was trespassing on Equestrian soil and had the nerve to threaten me and my friends after kicking us out and then taking half the badlands under his control... then he dragon-napped Spike,"

Twilight was now shaking with rage while Starlight stood in a place frozen by what she had heard.

"That doesn't-"

"That doesn't what?" A new voice asked causing Starlight to turn to an unfamiliar pony walking in. "That doesn't make sense? My dear from what I've been told of this ghastly courier he doesn't need any reason to do as he wishes,"

"I'm sorry who are you?" Starlight asked the yellow-coated stallion who walked into the chamber.

"Ah forgive me. I am Lord Firerun the third servant of the solar court. I was sent here to oversee the investigation of Mr. Spike's sudden dragon-napping," The pony stated.

"Since when does the solar court care about a dragon-napping?"

"Oh my dear the court cares for the student of Celestia's well-being of course and by extension her dragon and the elements," Firerun answered.

Starlight narrowed her eyes at Firerun's answer while her conversation with Six lingered in her mind for a moment.

"How do you know it was Six?" Starlight asked causing Firerun to chuckle.

"Elementry! The window to Spike's room was blasted in by a metal ball before that awful courier entered and reached for Spike but three brave guards heard the ruckus and attempted to stop them Six murdered two of them in cold blood while severely crippling the third. Before the rest of the guard could arrive to save Spike, the courier was already gone with the poor dragon," Firerun explained.

Turning her head to her friend Starlight leaned toward her.

"Twilight where were you when this was happening?" Starlight asked.

"I was with Fluttershy and Rarity having tea and when I came home Spike was gone," Twilight shivered trying not to cry.

Starlight looked at her friend before turning back to Firerun who held up his chin with that stupid look all nobles had on them thinking they were better than their fellow ponies.

"Can I see Spike's room?"

"But of course, it has been untouched since the attack," Firerun explained. "I don't think you will find the evidence point to that courier,"

Pulling up her coat after sparing one more glance at Starlight the pony left with a weird feeling in her chest.

This whole thing didn't sit well with her.

(New Navarro)

"EEEEEEEEEE!" Amelia cheered at the site of the freshly built light machine gun. "An MG3!"

Sure enough right under that covering there was a modernized german-designed light machine gun having been by Six from one of the many different files he pulled from the old military base back at the divide's data vault.

"Yep that's a good eye you got. I had this thing built to test-fire it and see if it's good from what I read. Hell, I custom-made some 7.62x51mm for this test," Six pointed out. "And I decided to test it with you,"

Her pale face blushed at Six's words while she bounced up and down in place.

"Can I try it out first?"

"Of course," Six agreed which cause her smile to widen.

Rushing over to the weapon she lay down on the ground going over to the weapon, inspecting it Amelia carefully checked the weapon before pulling back the bolt on the left side of the weapon. Six got down next to her while she readied the modernized old-world machine gun while staring down the targets.

"I loaded a tracer round every five rounds on the ammo belt to show where you are shooting. It's a pretty basic machine gun nothing you're not used to," Six pointed out while Amelia just stared at him.

"I know you don't have to nag me," Amelia replied as she returned to aiming.

Holding up the bullet chain in his hands Six didn't need to tell the android before she pulled the trigger.

Not a normal date by any means but it was one to remember.

Author's Note

Oh man, it's been a short break but it's back from sleeping mostly because of writer's block + life like usual.

What better way to return it is with Six and Amelia going on a date and more conspires arising from the mainland?

Sorry for the shortness but I will tell you guys this, there will be another major arch arising in the story. All in all glad to be back writing this.

Till the next one guys.

(Also that is NOT a MG34 but a MG3 it exists in the real world and since the MG42 does exist in the fallout universe plus the fact old world USA had a bunch of german weapons lying around I would expect they did know about the modern 'MG42' AKA the MG3)
