Chapter 11

3rd Person

While Nyx was getting ready for school everypony tried to come up with a conversation starter, but they couldn't think of anything. They still had questions to ask the Puppet, but with Spike in the room and Much getting ready they had to hold those questions for another time.

"Well y'all this was interestin' , but I got a farm to run and as far as I know those apples need some motivation to get out of them trees." With a tilt of her hat she trotted out the door.

Rainbow then got up from where she was sitting and hovered over to the window. "Yeah, we got a new shipment of rainclouds today and we got to put them in storage for use later this month. So see ya." She opened the window flying out with her signature rainbow trail behind her.

"While I do love these little get togethers I have a boutique to run so good day to you all." Rarity finished her sentence with a hug to everyone in the room suprising the Puppet and with a mischievous smile she gave Spike a kiss on the cheek who then slumped over with a contented smile on his face and hearts floating over him.

Rarity giggled at his reaction then left the castle. Fluttershy then stood up. "Umm I'm sorry, but I need to go feed my animals. Especially Angel, he gets really cranky if I don't feed him on time." She then walked over to the castle door and left to feed her animals( And that devil in a bunny form).

Lyra was the next to stand up. "As much as I want to ask you more about humans I have a lot of bits to collect and then I'm going to rub it in Bon bons face. But I promise I won't tell anyone what happened to you and what you did." With that she then walked out a door an excited expression on her face.

Pinkie then hopped up from where she was sitting. "This was fun, strange and weird, but I need to go help the Cakes make sweets for the day. So goodbye!" With that she then hopped into a nearby cupboard much to the Puppets confusion who simply tilted his head to the side and rubbed the holes where his eyes are.

Twilight simply giggled at his reaction. "You shouldn't question Pinkie and her methods. Believe me that's one episode I don't want to repeat." She finished while Puppet felt a strange sense of deja vu. Nyx then hopped into the room an excited expression on her face.

"Okay mom I'm ready to go!" She told Twilight while hopping up and down excitedly. Twilight simply giggled at what she was doing and told her to wait by the door. She then told Spike to organize the books in the library section of the castle. She then looked the Puppet at used her hoof to say 'follow me'.

Then the pair of alicorns and The Puppet then walked down the street to the school gaining some attention from the ponies who were out and about. Some waving at them, some looking at the Puppet curiously and an occasional fear filled glance at the Puppet. Though all and all it went better than Twilight expected.

They arrived at the school ten minutes early with no goals or fillies outside. "Nyx have a good day at school and get good grades." Nyx then giggled since that what Twilight always told her when she went to school. Twilight s attention was now on the Puppet. She used her hoof to motion for him to come closer. She then wispered to him when she felt he was close enough. "If anypony asks you a question about you please don't tell them what happened to you and what you did."

The Puppet then looked her straight in the eye. "I promise I won't. I was made to entertain kids remember?" Twilight then smiled and gave Nyx a kiss on her forehead and waved goodbye trotting down the road.

Nyx then looked up at him. "Okay here's what I'm going to do. When you hear my name called up wait near the door then I'll say I'd like you all to meet my new friend' then you walk in. Okay?" She asked him.

He then nodded before realizing something. "You should probably go to class now." He told her in which she turned around and ran into the school. The Puppet then took his position next to the closed door and waited for a signal. To pass the time he conjured up an enchanted music box which will make him fall asleep until the lines that Nyx spone will wake him up. So with that he than slumped to the ground waiting for his cue.

30 minutes later

"I'd like you all to meet my new friend!" With those words spoken the music box stopped and the Puppet awoke. He then stood up and used his three fingered hand to open the door. When he opened to door he was greeted with what looked to be thirty children in the room all looking at him with wide eyes. His attention was then on Nyx who was at the front of room with dark pink mare sitting in the desk behind Nyx with a suprised expression on her face.

Nyx looked at him with a happy expression on her face and motioned for him to come up to front of the room. He then did as she asked all eyes on him as he approached the front of the room. Standing next to Nyx who was only two feet tall with him at seven feet tall he could only think they all feeled intimidated.

Then the mare behind the desk finnaly found her voice and started talking. "Ummm nice to meet you mister..?" She asked him still a little creeped out by his appearance.

"You can simply call me Marrionette or Puppet. Whichever one you want." He told her in a kind voice that seemed to calm him her down entirely looking at him with kind expression.

"Well it's nice to meet you Marrionette you can call me Ms.Cheerilie. So I take it you're Nyx new friend?" She asked him as if he was any pony.

"Yes that's correct. I only got here yesterday and it was Nyx who decided to bring me to show and tell. So I guess I'll answer some questions that you ask." He told her with a kind looks in his eye.

"Well you heard him class. Do any of you have any questions for Marrionette here?" She asked her class in which they all raised their hooves into the air gaining a chuckle from Cheerilie and the Puppet.

Marrionette pointed to a foal with a grey colt and black mane. "What are you mister Puppet sir?"

The Puppet simply answered. "Where I come from I'm known as an animatronic. My purpose is to entertain kids at a family friendly pizzaria."

He then pointed to a filly with a poofy red mane, a yellowish coat and glasses." What do you do to entertain us?"

He thought about that for a moment before summoning a present into his hand which made everyponie eyes wide with surprise before handing it to the filly who opened it and pulled out a Freddy Fazbear plushy. She then gave it a great big hug. "Thank you." She simply told him.

"You're welcome. Oh, that's not all I can do I can also make music." He summoned a music box onto his hand winding it up then set it down on Cheerilies desk.

When it was finished everypony in the room clapped at the music he played, except for two earth fillies who looked unimpressed." So what, you can make music big deal." The pink filly with a tiara on her head commented.

Then the filly right next to her with gray coat and glasses on her face talked next. "Yeah, like that's so lame nearly everypony in Ponyvilles can sing so like what's so impressive about that?" She then bumped hooves with pink filly.

Cheerlie then glared at the two of them sternly. "Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon! He showed us a display of what he could do and then you-"

She didn't finish what she was going to say before the Puppet interupted her. "Cheerilie it's quite all right." His gaze then rested on the two fillies that insulted him. "You're right I can create music. But is it impressive no. I'd show you some other pieces of music I made, but it's not for children of your age." That seemed to gain their attention. But before they could say anything the recess rang.

"Alright class we'll continue asking Marrionette questions after recess." With that said everypony left the room for recess. Nyx then came up to him and gave his leg a big hug.

"May I ask why you are hugging me Nyx?" The Puppet asked her unsure of why she was doing this.

She then let go of his leg and looked at her hooves nervously. "Oh I was just wondering if...maybe I could....have the music box you used?"

The Puppet looked down at her smiling warmly (on the inside). "When school is over how 'bout I give you one?" She then looked up at him happily before nodding as fast as her tiny head could. Before holding out her hooves to him. He then picked her up and returned the hug to her.

"Thanks Mr.Puppet." She told him sweetly.

"You're welcome Nyx." He then out her down. "Now, why don't you play with your friends?" She smiled at him before grabbing onto one of his fingers.

"I want to introduce you to them okay?" She looked at him with the most adorable puppy dog eyes he's ever seen. 'If I was alive I'm pretty sure I'll get diabetes right now.' He thought to himself.

"Alright then, I'll meet them." Nyx simply ran towards a group of three fillies Notioning for him to come over.

When he was walking to them he looked at Nyx friends. The earth pony had a yellow coat, a red mane and a large red boson the back of her head. The unicorn had a white coat, a curly pink and light purple mane. The pegasus had an orange coat and purple mane.

"Puppet I'd like you to meet my best friends. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." Nyx told him motioning to them in order all giving him a smile and wave.

He learned that Apple Bloom was sisters with Applejack. Sweetie was sisters with Rarity. Scootaloo looked up to Rainbow as her sister and vice versa. They are in club called the Cutie Mark Crusaders a group in which they did all they could to look for their cutie marks.

The rest of the school day went by fast without a question the Puppet had to lie about. It was three o'clock when it was time to leave. He then followed Nyx outside where Twilight was waiting with smile. Nyx then ran up to her and gave her a big hug.

"How was school honey?" Twilight asked Nyx.

"It was great! Everypony loved Mr.Puppet and gave me a music box!" She told her grabbing the music box from her saddle bags.

"That's nice him." He said looking happy at the Marrionette. Mouthing 'thank you'.
