He held his hoof out to her momentarily, and asked, "Are you... working alright?"

Sweetie had the most puzzled look on her face, but she nodded, and she then smiled.

"Okay then... Let's just go ahead and give you a test, then. Please raise your front right hoof."

She did as he instructed.

"Now the left hoof, if you would."

She was on just her hind hooves now. "There, I did it!" She squeaked, "See?"

"Yes! You may lower them... Hmm, there seems to be something wrong with your communicator... I'll have to remember to fix that later. Now then, do you know your name?"

She shook her head.

"It's Sweetie Belle! I made you look a little bit like me with a nice, soft, and purple mane, and I've even given you a horn, too!" He rose a hoof up to his chin, and said, "It was a stretch between Sweetie Belle and Sweetie Bot, but I've decided that with you being a robot... it at least for now should just remain our little secret... Alright?"

"And what is your name?"

"Hmm?" He just stood there for a second. "Oh! Haha," he laughed, and then suddenly became handsome. "I... am the greatest looking scientist in the whole world!" He took a dramatic pose, and Sweetie Belle began to clap for him. "I'm also the smartest scientist there is, but I don't like to brag about that as much because it upsets the other scientists of the world and makes them feel inferior..."

Sweetie nodded with interest.

"I... am none other... than Doctor Rare Belle, and I... have created you!" He pointed at her, and once again, thunder struck from outside just as he finished his sentence. He returned to his normal, less handsome self, and then resumed, "T'was nothing, really. A few volts of electricity here, some metal there..."

"Doctor?" Sweetie asked.

"Yes?"

"How do I use my horn?"

"You don't," he said bluntly. "At least not yet. It's not functional without the necessary upgrades."

"Also, Dr. Rare?"

"Yes?"

"You're all blurry... Why can't I see you?"

"Huh? Is that so...?" He took a close look at her cybernetic eyes, and said, "Oh, yes. It's the same problem as before, I'm afraid. It's because your head is smaller than I had anticipated..." It only took Dr. Rare a few seconds if that to make Sweetie Belle a brand-new pair of glasses for her to see out of.

"Tah dah," he said once he was finished. "Pretty amazing, huh?"

As a response, Sweetie took her head clean off, and mimicked, "Tah dah! Pretty amazing, huh?"

"Gah," Dr. Rare said as he doubled backwards suddenly. "Why, you..." He mumbled from the ground, "Don't do that!"

He got up only to both see and hear Sweetie Belle still holding onto her laughing, disembodied head. "Be careful, Doctor! After all, it was only a joke."

"I don't care!" He yelled, "Don't do that even when you're completely alone! Nopony will understand what's happening!"

"But that's what makes it so funny..." He just glared at her. "Teehee, I got scolded," Sweetie Belle mocked while sticking out her tongue. She then placed her head back atop her shoulders where it belonged.

The two of them stood together within the laboratory for a moment longer before the Doctor finally cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem... Now then, you need clothes. Then after that, we'll have you do a speed test..."

The young albeit robotic little filly had been standing there completely naked this whole time. What was that? Why is that a problem? Are you BARBERIC or something? Look, I'm not exactly sure what timeline of Equestria you're used to, but in this day and age, ponies wear clothes. Why am I, the author speaking directly to you though the story? I don't know, it's a gag fic based off of a 1980's gag manga. Let's just continue...

The machinery from up above quickly got to work making Sweetie Belle's attire, however something went wrong, and it instead equipped her with a maid's outfit that was a bit large for her petite body. "Hoyoyo," she said in utter confusion.

"Uh, oh," the doctor voiced. "I made a mistake. I was originally making a fully grown adult robot. However, there were too many complications, and I forgot to swap out the outfit in the computer files for something smaller, and a bit more practical..."

There was a moment of awkward silence.

"Welp," he said. "Sweetie Belle? Be a good little filly while I'm gone." He took off his lab coat and put on a jacket. "I'll be right back, and then we'll continue once you're decent."

She stood stock still, and just smiled at the door while he left. A few minutes went by, and then, she waved while saying, "Good-bye, Doctor! Have fun!"

Her hoof lowered itself, and she sported a toothy grin.

"Alright," she said. "Time to do that speed test!" She excitedly jumped up and down in place a couple of times, and then, she said, "I can't wait to see just how fast I really am! Alright, Doctor Rare, time to make you proud! Here I go!"

She started, and in slow motion, and she ran ever closer towards the far end of the room and into the very wall itself. The speeds at which she managed to obtain in that small amount of time was enough to cause multiple ruptures of winds which sent everything within the room flying in all kinds of directions.

Just like that, Doctor Rare's lab was reduced to rubble.

Sweetie ran down the road and through the streets and headed straight into town. Eventually she managed to dig into the concrete with her bare hooves. She galloped along at incredible velocity, and all the while, she just kept raising her voice, going, "Kiiiiin!"

She ran by the local barber shop, and then the soda shop, and then the coffee shop, and everypony saw her as she went along her destructive way. She even destroyed the house of a little foal, but don't worry because the foal was okay. Next, she tossed over the telephone pole that belonged to Sourpony.

On this fateful day, a few kids were hanging out by the police station. It wasn't of their own volition, however. Their motorized bikes were being confiscated.

"Alright," Officer One said. "You kids know the rules!" He gripped his notepad tightly.

Officer Three then said, "How many times do we have to do this? There's a curfew for riding these things. You can only ride them at a certain time of the day, and we all know when that is, right?"

"Ach..."

"Jeez..."

"C'mon..."

"School! Idiots!" Officer One blurted out, "It's when you're going home from school, and from school to home! That's the only time when you can ride these things!"

"And..." Officer Three then said, "You're to go straight home with them. Until you're of the legal age, you're not supposed to be going around joyriding."

"Hmm... What's that?"

"For real..."

"You two hear it too? I thought I was going crazy."

Both of the police ponies then halted what they were doing and looked down the road where the corner started.

"Uh... Say, pal... Do you...?"

"Yes, Three... I don't just hear that... I think that I feel that, too."

The five ponies that were just outside of the police station waited impatiently to find out what it was and braced. The noise just kept getting closer, and louder, until at long last, they saw her coming.

Sweetie Belle trampled through the streets, and at the corner, instead of properly turning, she used the very stores themselves to guide her along.

"Kiiin!"

Establishment after establishment was obliterated. Glass went flying, and she was headed right for the two police ponies and the three locals that were with them.

All the authorities could do was scream at the top of their lungs while at the same time immediately getting in their car. The siren blared, and they took off trying to get out of there as quickly as they could.

The other kids darted sporadically, ditching their bikes. One of them ended up in some rubble, but he was alright. His littler brother hid behind a fruit stand, and the young mare that was with them wound up in a trash can.

"Get me out of here!" She yelled in frustration.

Meanwhile...

"Drive faster, you idiot! It's gaining on us!"

"I'm trying! This is as fast as this unit goes!"

"Don't we have nitrous? Boost? Anything???"

"KIIIN!"

Together, "This has to be Rare Belle's fault! He's always messing up everything!"

She ran right through the police car as if it was butter, and the single, flashing siren that was on top of the vehicle was thrown high above into the air. Afterwards, the car busted dramatically into a fiery explosion.

Officer Three sat there in scorches, and said, "It was... a little filly... all along."

Officer One merely coughed.

"Hey... Buddy, it... i-it was only a little girl... Did you hear me? D-did you see her?

"Yeah... I saw..."

"Did you see...?"

"Yep... I saw her..."

There was silence.

"So... What're we going to tell the commissioner?" asked Officer Three.

Officer One just looked at Officer Three, and said, "Oh, he already knows about aaaaall of this by now..."

Dr. Rare came bicycle riding back to the house. He parked his bicycle outside, and walked up to the door while saying, "Sweetie, I finally got you some clothes... After a lot, I managed... to get you..."

Sweetie exited the house from the front entrance, and just stared at the Doctor with an innocent smile. However, her maid clothes were dirty, and parts here and there were torn. "Hi."

The Doctor trotted up to her, and gently asked her, "Wh-wh-where... have you been?" She didn't answer right away, and instead, she just grabbed the bag from him, and started pulling out a few clothes. "Y-you can't change here, Sweetie. You're supposed to do that in your room..."

Sweetie asked him, "I have my very own room?"

He got annoyed by her shenanigans. "Sweetie... I'll ask again, where have you been?"

She finally told him, "I went for a walk." He just stared at Sweetie blankly, and then, Dr. Rare looked around at his property. From what he could immediately see, nothing seemed out of the ordinary save for her dirty dress, so he started to laugh along.

"Oh, you were just going outside for a short walk, huh? I see..."

She smiled happily, and then Sweetie Belle announced enthusiastically, "Hoyo?"
