“So then,” Twilight said, laughing the whole time, “Rainbow Dash just comes right out of the closet!”
“Ha! What did Rarity do?” Gadget asked, holding her sides and gasping for air at the conclusion of Twilight’s story.
“She nearly fainted! Pinkie had to catch her!”
“And what did Applejack say when Dash came out?”
“She didn’t seem that surprised, actually.”
Twilight, Gadget, and Turing Test were all gathered in Twilight’s bedroom. The evening fun had continued for hours, with them telling ghost stories, doing makeovers, having pillow fights, and now swapping funny stories.
“I do not understand the point of hiding in a closet, jumping out, and attempting to frighten others,” Turing remarked. “My information indicates that friendship should involve comfort, companionship, and engaging in activities of mutual interest. Why would Rainbow Dash wish to cause her other friends distress?”
“It’s… kind of hard to explain,” Twilight said, standing up suddenly. “Hang on, you two. I’ve got to use the restroom.”
“Have fun, don’t fall in!” Gadget called after her, earning a roll of the eyes from Twilight.
“You need not be concerned. I have seen Twilight Sparkle’s bathroom and the toilet is of normal size to prevent accidental entry.”
“That’s… that’s great, Turing, I’m so relieved,” Gadget replied flatly. Then her ears lifted and her eyes sparkled. “Ooh, but when Princess Twilight gets back, I can ask her again if she has a crush on anypony! She was awfully evasive earlier…”
“You seem very interested in relationships. Does this have anything to do with your recent attempt at one with Fine Print?”
Her good cheer drained away and she lowered her head, giving a long sigh.
“I have unintentionally upset you, Gadget. I am sorry.”
“No, no, it’s all right,” she said, waving a hoof and offering a weak smile.
“I have an inquiry then, if you are willing to assist me.”
She nodded. “Of course, Turing, I’d do anything to help you!”
Turing paused, again tapping her chin with her hoof as she tried to formulate her question adequately. “Gadget, I must first offer you my thanks, as it is my understanding that you helped Twilight Sparkle come to her decision to accept me as I am and my friendship for what it is.”
“Aw, you’re welcome!”
“I wish to know, then: can it be said that you also have affection for me?”
Gadget blushed. “Ah, jeez, you have to say it so plainly?”
“How does this affection feel? I wish to know since I have never felt the emotion myself.”
Gadget swallowed. “It, um,” she began, “it feels warm. Like, I can feel it here,” she said, placing her hooves on her chest, “and… and here,” she placed her hooves on her cheeks. “It makes me want to smile and… it makes me want to do other things.”
“I understand the physiological reaction, but that is something I cannot replicate. Perhaps you could describe your mental state?”
Gadget’s blush deepened and she turned from her robot companion. “T-Turing, please… why are you asking me? Twilight-hime is the one who should be instructing you.”
“I have realized,” Turing said, “that the differences between Master Twilight and myself may be too great to reconcile. But you, Gadget, are both organic and also mechanical, in part.” She came over and took hold of one of Gadget’s mechanical arms, running her brass hoof down its length. Gadget shivered.
“T-Turing-chan, p-please… m-my arms… you shouldn’t touch them that way…”
“I apologize,” she said, letting them go. Gadget opened her eyes, but somehow looked disappointed. “My point is that you may form the bridge between my mechanical nature and that of ponykind. Gadget-chan, I… I wish to know of this strange thing you ponies call ‘love.’ Beep.”
Gadget found she could no longer look Turing in the eyes. She turned away. “Oh… oh, that’s such a bold request, Turing-chan! And… and yet…”
She slowly turned back to Turing Test and swallowed. “But maybe I’ve been looking in the wrong places for love too. Maybe you… maybe you can teach me something as well…”
Her mechanical arms shot around Turing and she drew herself closer. Her eyes grew glassy and her mouth was slightly opened as she moved ever closer. “Turing-chan… I know Twilight-sensei warned me about this…”
“Gadget-senpai? What are you doing? Oh. My circuits seem to be heating up. Something is stirring deep within my heart drive. Have you installed a new emotion within me? Beep boop beep.”
Gadget’s breath came in short, shaky spurts as she removed her glasses. “Turing-chan,” she whispered, her lips just inches from Turing’s face, “ai… aishite--”
“HI TURING, HI GADGET!”
A pink blur shot up between the two of them and Gadget leaped back. “N-nani?! Pinkie-senpai, how did you get in here! Mou! Does Twilight-sensei-sama-hime know you’re here?”
“Aw, don’t be mad, Gadget!” Pinkie laughed. “I just heard there was a slumber party and I hate to miss a party!”
“Then I believe Master Twilight would like you to be here. Beep boop beep.”
Just then, Twilight returned with the Pocky and green tea and sushi she’d promised and set them down. “Ah, Pinkie-chan! I’m glad you’re here! How can I help you?”
“I just heard that Turing is becoming friends with a lot of different ponies and I wanted in!” She turned to Turing Test. “So, Turing, do you want to be friends?”
“Yes.”
“Well,” Twilight said. “That was easy.”
“It sure was! No conflict or anything like that! Guess it’s time to end the chapter! Now the bold text says ‘To be continued!’”
To be cont-- wait, what?!
How--
WHAT THE BUCK JUST HAPPENED?!
duh.
wow you made that anime like good i love anime cartoons
Not canon ? Too bad , it was hilarous.
Oh thank god this isn't Canon. I don't think I could handle Turing randomly going "beep" and Gadget being a complete weaboo.
As soon as the Japanese stuff started appearing I figured this was either a dream or a tease chapter. Is it wrong I think Gadget makes a perfect Neighponese fan?????
Wha... huh... ah... WHAT THE BUUUUUUU-
Sorry, you just punked me well and proper, I was about to go YEAH! TWO UPDATES YEAH!
And I was all geared up to make an in-depth analysis and everything!
... and is it sad that any trouble that Turing has making friends with Pinkie in the next chapter is unrealistic compared to here?
Also, SHIPPING, why make fun of it SO?!
Glad you all enjoyed this little bit of silliness. I wanted to upload it with a real chapter in case people got angry and thought I was being meanspirited, but it looks like everyone got the joke.
6089568 6089680 6089838 6090457 6090528 6091008 6091224
A little bit of explanation: this chapter wasn't intended as a slight against anyone, but more a joke about a few different topics.
For one, it's making fun of the common otaku trends you see in a lot of fanfiction, though usually in anime fanfics. Full disclosure, before I got into MLP fanfics, I was an anime fanfic writer off and on for many years. Also, Gadget's human counterpart is a character who appears in a lot of my work and she often is a huge otaku herself. Hence the overuse of Japanese honorifics and Twilight serving very stereotypical Japanese food. I do enjoy anime and, for the record, I do actually speak Japanese. 足利、いつも私の心に. It just doesn't really belong in this type of story.
Another bit was just a little good-natured ribbing about all the comments about shipping mentioned in the comments. I think I will explore the topic of romantic relationships and love in the story later, but in the meantime I thought I'd tease some of my faithful readers.
Thanks for the comments everyone!
I think I scared the living daylight out of the chickens at the end of the street with my laughing outburst as soon as the japanese suffix stuff began.
Gadget really makes for a perfect weeaboo fanmare.
Oh my god i was like... Twilight... hime? Turing.... CHAN?! then i reached the end. i was worried there for a sec. but i was also laughing the whole way through!
was this suppose to make me think in a certain direction? not sure if i should, or not.
ahhhh okay, i think it is probably a fun chapter or something like that.
I think everything happend to suddenly, not exactly my humor.
Now i continue the real story.
That escalated quickly
What. The heck. Did I just read?
What will happen when turing tries to learn lust?
Aagg! You had me scared there for a minute. Fun!
I was alternating between " pinkie you pice of rock this was getting good!" And " how could you do this to me!!!!??!" And laughing my eyes out

This is an AMAZING story so far. Thanks!
Gadget-Chan

Well played, good Sir!
WiAt!!! WhAt the FuCk jUsT hApPeNeD!!!!!
Turing: I hope Twilight-senpai will notice me. *metallic sigh*
Gadget: Don't worry Turing! You've got me!
Turing: Indeed..... Gadget-chan.

(Godzilladragon.exe has stopped responding)
Too bad. This could have been a dream on Gadget's part, though. You know I'd ship it. Like FedEx.
7156805 You're apparently not the only one. But hey, if you want to ship them, I won't object.
This chapter was bad and you should feel bad.
This was hilariously brilliant and I loved every second of it. I literally had to re-read the first couple paragraphs twice though before I realised it was a prank chapter.
WELL, THAT GOT WEIRD.
"It's just like one of my Japanese animes!"
Wooooow. That was highly amusing and kind of hot for a second there. This was definitely a fun little interlude <3
7156805 That shipping IS pretty cute....but CLEARLY the OTP is Gadget x Twilight!! I mean their Adorkable levels would be over 9,000!!!
7674051 Wellll it's not canon, but apparently there were enough requests that longtime reader Gullible Cynic actually sent me a Twilight x Gadget chapter. I thought it was pretty amusing, so I put it up on my blog. Feel free to check it out here.
Also, thank you very much for all the kind comments as you've been wading your way through this oversized tale of mine. I'm glad you're enjoying it thus far.
meanwhile in the alterentive unviverise of The Iron Horse: Everything's Better With Robots! story mixed in with my story I am trying to come out with.

Needs more beep.
I think, I started to find more and more little tf2 references.
BEEP BOOP BEEP
Soldier. Tf2
I was first placid, then cross when "Twilight-hime" came up, because I thought it was gonna be a one time thing. Confusion and outright astonishment were predominant for the rest of the chapter
