“Ah Twilight welcome back” Aloe greets before stopping to look up at the giant robot bunny, Aloe would have run away but stops to see it wave a hand at her “uh what is… that?” she said as the bunny looks over to Twilight “BEEP BOP WOP” It radio sounded out as Twilight rubs her head as she looks over to Aloe again “His name is Gulp and he need a bit of a cleaning” she said making the pony look up at the bunny who looks down at her with a grin. 

“WOP WOP BEEP” It beats out

“Wait what?” Twilight as she looks up at the bunny as he looks at her with the visor changing to orange color as he crossed his arms “POP WOP BEEP BEAT” he beats out as Aloe looks back and forth trying to understand on what's in front of her. Twilight soon nods and looks back at Aloe “ok so we need a nice bath of… Oil” Twilight said

“Oil?” Aloe repeats as she rubs her hoof as she then hears Lotus trot up “sister. Get a sized minotaur bath” Aloe said looking at Gulp and smiles warmly “and I have a trip for Oil” Aloe said as the bunny and book pony enter in the building, a light scream makes Gulp look behind him before was wacked in the face sending him to ground as Twilight looks at Gulp “Are you okay?” she said as Aloe looked at Lotus with a frown as Gulp stayed on the ground as his hand showed a thumbs up as a weakly sound beats out.

“BeEEeeP” 




“I’m telling you Tavi! He is the one!” Vinyl said as the gray mare groaned as she then trots to the couch slumping down as she sees Vinyl trot around her as this argument has been going the first thing when Gulp left for town. “Vinyl, I told you that I didn’t need your help! And that thing won’t help either” Octavia said

“You may think that but… He can help you play for the world again!” Vinyl says as she grabs her as Tavi looks away feeling nervous again “I told you… Vinyl they don’t care… and they're right…” She looks away and spots her cello sitting on her bed, Vinyl bumps her hoof on her back as she smiles down at her “Tavi… I know what you play… And nopony would ever know if you try again and… Gulp is the one who can help you” Vinyl said. Octavia looks up at her and then looks away… ‘she trusts that bunny… just because he can play music’ Octavia thinks as she then looks back.

“Vinyl… why?” Octavia says making the Dj stop from what was expecting something else, She recovered and adjusted her shades and frowned at what was said “what do you mean?” 

“Why do you trust him?” she asked as Vinyl then rubbed her chin as the shades were lost “I…” She looks at Octavia and then thinks more closely as she thinks the answer more clear, she then takes the shades off and then looks away frowning a bit upset. “I don’t know… But his… actions were not right, And Twilight is right, he is not from here, he is misplaced” she said just seeing the bunny again.  





+must say that Aloe knows how to clean metal+ Gulp beats out as he looks at his newer shiny arms as they soon walk more into the town heading to the shops. Twilight smiles brightly, happy to see him look cleaner now “well they never seem to fail a customer” She says as Gulp nods along with her. But soon it was silent as they see the surrounding hearing ponies murmur as Gulp looks around seeing the bunny +the staring is back+ he beats out as he rubs the back of his neck, Twilight frowns at the bunny but then sighed as she leads him out of the market. He soon sees the tree house called the golden oaks library as was about to enter but was then stopped by the book pony.

“Now uh I have a baby dragon in here, he might likely uh…”

+throw a book at me? Run away?+ Gulp said with a light orange and yellow witch Twilight could only guess it was deadpanned. She nods, making him look at the door as it opens to see… the dragon on his bed sleeping on his bed, Twilight frowns at the dragon and sees the time knowing that he slept in an hour after his lunch. She shakes his bed a little, making him murmur and roll in his bed.

 +Oh! I got this, step back book pony+ He beats out as he pulls out a disk out as he then places it on his chest and begins to spin it as he holds a finger up on his lip as he making it clear for things to be quiet.

It was silent at first but soon in a whole second a loud scream was made making not only Spike but also Twilight jumped a bit as the sound was played, Spike jumped up from his bed holding the side of his head as he screams but stops as he looks at Gulp who was smiling down at the dragon with Twilight giggling now as he pouts a bit as he glares at the bunny who shows a combination of yellow and purple 

“Grrr not funny” he muttered as he got up and scratched his head but then stops and blinks quickly looking up and picks a book up and looks away rubbing his eyes and then looks back again “SWEET STARS!” he said, throwing the book at Gulp’s head making him show a visor of orange and a bit of yellow as the dragon slips and runs away.

+well that went better than I thought+ he beats out 

“Yeah he would try to breathe fire, but maybe you're too adorable” she joked as she saw the bunny frown as he crossed his arms +Why? Cause I'm a bunny?+ he said as Twilight laughed lightly while trotting over to a wooden table and stairs at the bunny who shows an orange color covering his visor “come. Let's talk” She said

+I would but I might break your chair+ he beast

“Why cus you so big?” She retorts a brow was lifted up as he shows a tad red as he puts his arms to his side +are you calling me fat?+ he soon starts tapping his foot on the floor “no I’m not, it's all fine my house is made of the strongest wood in all of-” CRACK! She stops to look at the bunny in the same place with a foot stuck and his other still tapping the ground as his visor shows a plane orange as he smirks +you were saying?+ 

A minute later

Spike looks left and right seeing Twilight on one side and Gulp on the other as they stare at each other as Twilight looks at his visor as he shows a tab of blue as he tries to feel more comfortable “so… you were found underground?” Spike asked and the bunny nodded +yeah… wait does he understand me?+ Gulp beats over to Twilight “Oh, no he can’t, Spike our friend Gulp here can talk with music sounds, so you might feel a bit left out” Twilight said as the dragon looks back at the bunny as he shows a amazed look as the bunny shows a bright yellow with a tad of green with pride was shown.

“You know I do have to ask Gulp, but we might need an emotion wheel” She said as the bunny frowned at her with a quizzical look +why? You don’t know what I show?+ He said and the pony nods +blur…+ he failed to sound the word as his visor turn to a blank expression as the color fade slowly “but keep them on, I would like to know just the simple colors if you don’t mind” she said as Gulp rolls his head around as the RGB color return. +Okay, might you hand me a page?+ he asked, lifting a hand as a page was floating to him, he put a simple graph of his colors and emotion to mean something.

Twilight nods smiling and pulls the page with magic and then places it with some other pages as Spike pulls a quill out as Twilight then clears her throat “Now, Gulp… What are you?” she asked the bunny who then showed a light purple as a finger was rubbing his muzzle +I'm… I'm a music bunny+ he beasts out making Twilight blink hearing the delayed beat and soon side eyed the bunny as he slumps down a bit showing a blue color visor. He then leans on the table as he taps a finger on the table before he looks at Twilight +I am a GG bot, and GG bots were made to do so much more+ He beasts out as he then sits back up again.

“A GG bot? Are they like your kind?” she asked +yes… But I honestly don’t like talking about them… it makes me feel… alone+ Gulp beats and this gets Twilight to drop her note as she then lowers her brow again “You say “feel” But… you're a robot… How can you feel things?” she asked Gulp as he sat back showing a light orange on his visor.

+Well, My kind are the first species to have feelings of a real mind+ Gulp beets out before the orange become more stern making the mare sit back a bit as his frown was shown +But, my kind also get insulted easily… were not robots were alive+ he beats out making Twilight look down.

“Sorry Gulp, I didn't mean to insult you” she said as Spike looked at Gulp and then Twilight, he soon slumped his head still not knowing what Gulp was still saying and hops off the chair.

+Don’t apologies, I should have explained myself+ He beats soon returning to the RGB color, Twilight nods returning her smile before noticing the time, getting up Twilight then trots to the door with Gulp getting up to follow “sorry to cut it short, but I think Vinyl and Octavia are done. Ready?” she asked 

+I guess+ He burps 

“Something wrong?” she asked as Gulp slumps a bit as the two walk out and sees less ponies this time but looks to have gotten used to him already as he rubs the back of his neck and looks at the mare +what if they don’t want me?+ he asked out of nowhere, making Twilight look up at the bunny who was holding his ear. She holds back to call him adorable but clears her throat and looks ahead “well… Why do you want to stay there?” she asked him this time to pull his ear off.

+I don’t know… Vinyl like music, I like music, and that gray mare Octavia, I have a feeling that she loves music but has a hate for it as well+ He guessed making Twilight look away getting his attention +you know something?+ he beats out as Twilight nods lightly

“I do, Octavia used to play for the public around Equestria, but one day she suddenly stops and hides away… I don’t know what she does other than not doing her talent but she… she is sad” Twilight said looking up at Gulp as he rubs his muzzle but stopped seeing the familiar house where he was found was in sight.

+well, I think I know a way to help+ He beeped
