SRMTHFCG! Episode 4 Sneak Peak

I'm almost at 3000 words and still haven't reached the episodes conflict and I don't know if I'll get Episode 4 done today so here have a sneak preview, this is the very first scene of the Episode.

“Man, it’s kinda weird having the patrols be so… short.” Chiro commented as The Hyperforce walked back into the Super Robot’s main control room.

“With the Super Robot’s scanners and our own town wide patrols protecting Ponyville from danger has proven to be a much more streamlined process than in the past.” Gibson added.

“Even so, we mustn’t let down our guard or become complacent, the moment we do so will only give the enemy an advantage.” Antauri stated seriously.

“Hey team? we have a visitor.” Nova pointed out and the group looked up the command rooms main computer screen which displayed the feed from one of the robots outside cameras.

“What’s Fluttershy doing here?” Otto asked.

“You don’t think something happened to Fenneca do you?” Nova asked worriedly.

“Nah, she looks like she’s for a casual visit, she probably just need help with something.” Sparx replied.

Chiro activated the microphone. “Hey ‘Shy, we’re in the command room, come on up.”

“Um, thank you for inviting me in. I’m not interrupting anything am I?” Fluttershy asked as she walked out of the orange transport tube.

“Not at all, I take it you need us for something? We’d be happy to help in any way we can.” Antauri replied.

“Oh, thank goodness, I was worried you wouldn’t hear me out, what with you all being so busy protecting Ponyville and Mama from all those monster attacks.” Fluttershy said.

“We wouldn’t be very good heroes if we didn’t listen to people when they have a problem, so what’s up?” Chiro asked.

“Well, um, this is going to sound silly but you all have to stop Skeleton king from kidnapping mama right? Could you maybe, um…Be her friends too?” Fluttershy asked, her wings twitching nervously.

Otto looked like a kicked puppy. “We’re not her friends?”

“I didn’t mean it like that!” the pegasuis hastily said. “It’s just Mama doesnm’t really open up to anyone nor does she have anyone to share her hobbies with, aside from me and Rainbow but she treats Rainbow more like my friend and not her friend as well.”

“You want us to spend time with her and get to know her better? I believe we can manage that.” Antauri said.

“Really?” Fluttershy asked hopefully.

“Sure, what sort of stuff does Fenneca like doing?” Chiro asked and Fluttershy beamed.

“Mama has her sculpting and her magic studies obviously but she likes wood carving, gardening, cooking, fishing and reading,” Fluttershy explained happily. “She loves reading fiction, fae don’t have fiction, every single story they have is actually a historical recount from one of their ancestors.”

“Wood carving huh? I’ve always wanted to try that.” Chiro said.

“An entire race whose literary content is entirely non-fiction, that does sound interesting. I wonder how their society evolved to reach that state?” Gibson wondered.

“I dunno, fishing sounds kind of boring but I guess it would be fun to cook your own catch.” Sparx said.

“I myself am curious about Fenneca’s magical abilities from what we’ve heard from her she obviously takes pride her skills as a mage yet seems reluctant to rely on that same skill.” Antauri added and shot Gibson a look when the scientist opened his mouth to argue the point.

“Don’t worry Fluttershy, we’ll take care of her!” Otto said.

“I noticed a poster in town today during my patrol, it was advertising a magic show,” Nova said. “It’s around the same time Fenneca closes up shop for the day so why don’t we go take her to go see it?”

“A big flashy show like that would also be a prime target for a Skeleton King attack, we could show up saying we’re there to act as security.” Sparx suggested.

“Or we could simply ask her to join us during our time off. Disguising out intentions will only end in suspicion and distrust.” Antauri countered seriously.

“I can talk to her if you want,” Fluttershy spoke up. “I just to see mama happy round someone other than me… she’s done so much and I know she’ll continue to be there for me for the rest of my life but…”

The yellow Pegasus smiled sadly. “I won’t be there for the rest of hers so I want her to find happiness outside of the home, I want her to have friends other than me. Mama will live a long time after I’m gone so I want to do something to make sure she’ll have somewhere to go and people she can rely on after that.”

“Wow… that’s some heavy stuff you’re saying, isn’t that still a long way off?” Sparx asked.

“Oh yes, definitely but it still worries me. I just can’t bear the thought of mama being left all alone if something happened to me.” Fluttershy replied.

“A noble sentiment from one your age but you shouldn’t let such thoughts cloud your mind, you have many years ahead of you. It is what you do today that matters most not what tomorrow may bring.” Antauri said warmly.

“Besides we’re called robot monkeys for a reason, we don’t age.” Sparx added puffing out his chest proudly.

“Clearly, you still haven’t grown up.” Nova said mockingly.

“Says you, you’ll always be cute, little Nova to me.” Sparx teased and nova pulled out her weapons, growling in anger.

“What did you just say?”

“Uh did I say cute? I meant strong and tough and-please don’t kill me.” Sparx begged

“That’s better.” Nova huffed.

“Are they always like that?” Fluttershy asked.

“More or less.” Chiro replied sheepishly.
