As I was walking to Vinyl’s house, I looked at each pony, thinking on how I should fix what I did to them. Once I got there, I was about to knock, but I heard music coming from the house. I unlocked the door, and walked in. Vinyl was at her dj equipment with her headphones in. I smiled as I messed with her equipment, adjusting the volume, pitch, and tempo. She looked at me and I could see excitement, happiness, or maybe relief in her magenta eyes. She walked up to me and said, “Well, was my glasses in you boxes or what?”
I shifted on my hooves and said, “Not exactly, I thought we decided that ya didn’t really need them.” As I was packing my stuff to head to my new home, Vinyl couldn’t find her glasses to go to one of her concerts. I convinced her to try it this one time to go without her glasses. She came to my house and said that it was enjoyable not being hidden behind her glasses.
She smiled and said as she walked into the kitchen, “I don’t, I just want to sign them, then maybe put them in a museum or sell them. Do you want something to drink?”
I shook my head and said, “No thanks, I’m just here to ask some questions. Could you sit down for a moment before you make yourself a drink?”
She looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, sat down, and said, “What are the questions you want to ask me?”
I sat down on the other side of the table and said, “Robot.” She stared at me without blinking. I stood up and said, “You will remember everything. How was everypony before I tried to take over Equestria.” Then a felt something stir in me. I added, “Did they like it or were fine with it.”
Vinyl nodded and said, “They were fine with the idea, and some enjoyed helping the changelings out once you talked to them about what they were dealing with.”
I nodded, it seems like I didn’t need to fix anything, but something was bugging me about the whole thing. I brought the whole hive into ponyville, told the ponies to feed them, and they’re fine with it. I’m glad it worked out, but I was thinking it was going to go another way. I shook my head and said, “You won’t remember anything that happened before the Canterlot takeover. In a few minutes you will come out of the trance, just remember I asked you a few questions, but won’t remember what they were, then I needed to run somewhere.” I stood up and left to see another pony if it caused any problems. After looking through the list, I decided that either Rainbow Dash or Applejack would be able to tell me how everything has been. Rainbow was my guard, so she would have seen almost everything that happened, and Applejack can’t really lie, even under my control. I had my head in the clouds, figuratively speaking, that I didn’t notice that I was being watched.
I headed to Sweet Apple Acres to talk to Applejack to get more information. A few minutes after I walked through the gate, I heard a thunk echo across the orchard. I smile and headed towards it. Applejack was taking a small break from applebucking for the day. When she saw me, she smiled and said as she tossed an apple at me, “Hey Eric, how have ya been “
I smiled back, caught the apple before it could hit me in the head or get pierced by my horn, and said as I sat down on the other side of her, “Same old, just learning how to keep my abilities in check.” I don’t know why, but every time I come down here, I’m tossed an apple, maybe I left an impression on here when I started to control her. I waved that thought out of my head and said, “Robot, you will remember what happen before I went to take over Equestria to answer my question. What was your real opinion on me ruling over Ponyville, and how did the others act or talk about when I or the guards weren’t around?”
Applejack looked at me and said, “I rather enjoyed it. Helping out with food, having my family under your control so I didn’t have to keep secrets from them. I think almost everypony would like to help anypony that needs help.”
I nodded and said as I took her hat off her head and placed it on my head, “You will relax and take a nap, then afterward, you will wake up and not remember me saying robot or anything after it.” Her head fell across her chest and she started to snore lightly. A few minutes later, she woke up and said, “Sorry about that, I occasionally take naps after I get my work done.”
I smiled and said, “It’s fine, after the hard work you do, you should take a nap once in awhile.” Then she noticed that I was wearing her hat. She grabbed it, pulled it off my head, and placed it on her head. I added, “I have to get going. Nice seeing you again. I let you get back to doing work.” She nodded and I left.
After getting the almost the same report from Vinyl and Applejack, I decided that I didn’t need to fix anything, so maybe the next thing to do is to find what more about me and decide what to do from there. I headed into my home and saw a bunch of papers flying through the air. I follow it to the next room and saw that Twilight was sitting over a bunch of papers. I started pounding my head against the wall. I wanted to figure out what I needed to do, but I let my instincts kick in and altered Twilight’s personality for my benefit. It turned around that me banging my head on the wall alerted Twilight of my presence. When about to bang my head against the wall. I hit a force. I opened my eyes to see a block of magic on the wall, where I was banging my head. I looked see Twilight looking at me with curiosity and worry. I straightened my back, stood up, and said, “Robot, you won’t be my assistant anymore and will remember being my assistant. You will go home, get get what you need to get done, then tomorrow, I’ll come over and we’ll talk about it.” Twilight released the magic and walked out the door. I closed the door and headed to my room to get some sleep, after today, I need the rest.
