~Laboratory~
What had he done? Everything was going so perfectly for him, only for it to all shatter after saying those last few words. He had really did it this time. He had witnessed first hand the fact that he created a fully sentient android that not only showed it could use magic, but had emotions as well. Leon sighed as he walked up the stairs and to his bedroom to see if he can fix this.
~Bedroom~
He slowly opened the door, only to see Sweetie Bot sobbing on his bed, "Um... Sweetie Belle... look I-" He was cut off suddenly as he saw Sweetie Bot look at him with tears in her eyes, actual ones and not the oil ones he expected, "I'm sorry..."
"You said I can do anything if I put my mind to it! Now you are saying it was a lie!" The android choked slightly as she fought back another sob.
Leon sighed, she had him there and it was impossible for him to deny, "I'm so sorry my dear... if there is anything I can do to make you feel better then believe me I will."
Sweetie Belle stopped sobbing as a small smirk appeared on her face, "I want you to do something that will make me laugh."
Leon blinked a few times before scratching his head, "Well I don't know..." He then looked at the android who was about to cry again making him wave his arms defensively, "Okay! Okay!" He sighed as he turned on his radio and the song Move your body played on the radio. He then started doing the Hare Hare Yukai dance along with it.
Seeing Leon do this, all for the purpose of cheering her up, made Sweetie Bot crack a smile and start giggling madly, before eventually bursting out into full blown laughter. After a few minutes she decided to join in the dancing, much to Leon's surprise.
Leon looked at Sweetie Bot in bewilderment, was she perfectly mimicking his moves on her hind legs? She was, he almost couldn't believe his eyes as he saw this. Once the song ended he picked up Sweetie Bot in his arms and snuggled her, the action being repeated by the android in turn, "Do you forgive me?"
"Of course dad, I can never stay mad at you." Sweetie Bot smiled as she said this, getting a smile from Leon in response, "Do you think we can go to the park?"
This question caught Leon off guard since it forced him to think before saying anything. After a few moments of thinking, and looking at Sweetie Bot's puppy eyes, he finally relented, "Okay then, but you have to be on your best behavior. Not a lot of people will be used to seeing an android walk among them, even fewer won't be happy it's a pony from the show I showed you."
Sweetie Bot thought about this for a few seconds before nodding her head, "I will be on my best behavior then!"
Leon couldn't help but give off a happy smile hearing this. He was actually going to take the next step with her and introduce her to the outside elements. Who knows what she will say and do? That was all part of the big mystery that he and Sweetie Bot will tackle together, as father and daughter. He took Sweetie Bot in his arms and, after leaving the room, departed the house to go to the park.
~Park Road~
Leon would be lying if he said that people weren't giving him odd stares as he walked on the road to the park, every now and then some kid would ask where he bought the toy from, earning a glare from Sweetie Bot. Leon simply kept replying, "I made her myself." Before continuing on his way.
~Park~
After a fifteen minute walk, the duo had finally reached the park and, with a happy sigh, Leon sat down on the bench with Sweetie Bot next to him, "Well here we are Sweetie, the park." He looked over at Sweetie Bot who had hopped off the bench.
Sweetie Bot walked over to the nearest tree and looked up at it, she had seen trees in the show but never in person. Upon closer look she was able to make out a single apple and smiled with joy. She started hopping up to try and get the apple but every attempt failed causing her to glare at the tree. She turned around, brought up her hind legs, and slammed them both into the tree causing a big pile of leaves to fall on top of her, covering her whole body.
Leon saw this and couldn't help but laugh at what just happened, in fact it was the first genuine laugh he had in ages, if there was such a thing as dying from cuteness, he would be the first victim.
Sweetie Bot poked her head out the pile of leaves, shaking her head to get the remaining leaves out of her mane. She sighed in defeat when suddenly, something big and red dropped on her head with a small clank. The apple had fallen out of the tree, filling Sweetie Bot's face with joy.
Leon raised an eyebrow upon seeing this and, with a raised eyebrow, watched the android eat the apple bit by bit. When he saw the happy smile on her face, his heart was at risk of exploding.
Sweetie Bot smiled happily after licking off the remaining apple off her muzzle. She then looked at Leon with the same smile, "That apple was delicious!"
Leon sat up from his reclined position and looked at Sweetie Bot with a shocked expression on his face, "You can actually taste it? I didn't even give you that feature."
Sweetie Bot simply giggled at this, "Isn't this a good thing? You made something that is becoming more realistic by the minute!"
Leon thought for a few seconds before making his reply, "Well... you certainly are very observant like the show you." He noticed Sweetie Bot wasn't paying attention however, since she was too busy staring at a butterfly flying nearby.
After a few seconds she walked up to the butterfly and looked at it with amazement in her eyes. She had seen butterflies on the television but to see one in person was even better. "Wow... Leon look at this butterfly, it's so pretty!" At that point the butterfly landed on her snout making her, and Leon, laugh a bit.
At that point a kid walked over to Sweetie Bot, he could not have been more than 5 in Leon's eyes. The kid roughly tugged on Sweetie's tail making her turn around, "Hey, that hurt!" She nearly snapped at the kid making him cry, "Oops..." Suddenly the parents came and started scolding Sweetie Bot while the dad, whom looked like he could easily pass for the leader of a biker gang, planted a kick on her side making her well up with tears, much to the guy's surprise.
At that point Leon had enough so he stood up, walked to the guy, and glared at him, "That was my daughter you hit! You know damn well she didn't mean to-" At that point the guy sucker punched Leon across the jaw making him fall on the ground, earning a shriek from Sweetie Bot. He slowly sat up and glared at the guy who had a smug look on his face, his lover cheering him on. At this point Leon got up and tackled the guy to the ground landing punch after punch on the guy's face. He suddenly felt himself get yanked off the guy and tossed on the ground by someone else.
A few guys wearing black vests and shades crowded around Leon, the dad of the kid included, apparently he really was the leader of a biker gang. With a sorrowful look at Sweetie Bot he clenched his fists as he did his best to fight off the guys who now started an all out brawl with him. It was only a few seconds however before two guys grabbed Leon's arms, which left him open to attack from the others.
Sweetie Bot, seeing her dad getting beat up like this, couldn't take it anymore as she yelled and made her horn light up causing the guys to lift off the ground. Her eyes were glowing white as she launched them a few feet away from Leon.
Leon, upon seeing this, quickly ran to Sweetie Bot and scooped her up in his arms before running back towards his home.
~Road To Home~
As he was running along the path home, which felt longer than it should have been, he heard the faint sound of a motorcycle coming up towards him playing a familiar song from Fall Out Boy. He looked behind him and, sure enough, there was a motorcycle coming up alongside him with one of the guys from the park grinning from ear to ear. He then circled in front of Leon to make him stop as the others guys started to catch up. This caused Leon to panic and make a break for it.
Unfortunately the guy on the motorcycle had other plans as he threw a long chain towards Leon and wrapped his leg up, causing him to pull on it and make Leon fall on the floor, Sweetie Bot tumbling onto the floor in the process, "You owe me for what you did in the park, I will gladly take it in the form of that robot. I'm sure there is some guy who would put her to good use as scrap." The gang leader chuckled as he started walking towards the scared android.
Seeing this caused Leon to yell as he got up and sucker punched the guy across the jaw once more. This action caused the gang leader to stumble back a bit. "It seems you still haven't learned your lesson boy!" He then yanked on the chain, causing Leon to fall backwards on the floor. He then wrapped the chain around Leon's neck and proceeded to choke him. This action caused Sweetie Bot to run and leap at the guy, jabbing his head with her horn. The guy let out a yell and released his grip on Leon. This allowed Leon enough time to use what he learned in karate class and back kick the guy away from him.
At that point the other guys from the gang rushed up to Leon to try and gang up on him. Sweetie Bot jumped up onto Leon's hand, then his shoulder, and finally on top of his head. She looked at the surrounding guys, opened her mouth, and let out the very same wind blast that she had showed before when she tried to sing. This action caused the guys to get blown back against various things knocking them out cold. Leon grinned as he once again took off, making sure to call the police with his cellphone as he reached his house and slammed the door shut.
~Living Room~
Leon leaned against the door, panting heavily. Never in his life had he run so fast or fought so hard. This was certainly one interesting change of events from how he thought the day would play out.
Sweetie Bot was crying hard as she cuddled deeper into Leon's chest, "I'm sorry daddy! I didn't mean to hurt that kid or those guys I swear!" She looked up at him with tear filled eyes that nearly made his heart break.
"It's okay my daughter... I understand, those guys were mean and they wanted to hurt me. I am glad you helped me when you did." He lightly ruffled her mane causing the android to smile.
"That's only because you stood up for me in the park. I couldn't sit and watch them hurt my dad like that." She then jumped onto his shoulder and nuzzled his cheek, "I love you daddy."
He chuckled and closed his eyes as he stroked her back. "I love you too... Sweetie Belle."
