Chapter 1: The Birth Of Sweetie Bot

Deep in the mountains of Canterlot in Equestria, a lonely male draconequus watch silently and sadly in his cave of a home, watching the happy ponies down below in Canterlot, and Ponyville not too far away. This draconequus, was of course, everybodies favorite Master Of Chaos, Discord.

"Look at all of them down there." Discord sadly sighed. "Every last one of them... they all have somepony the company them. Tia and Lulu have each other. Cadence has Armor. Applejack has her family. Rarity has Sweetie Belle, if not Sweetie Belle it's her cat Opal. Rainbow Dash has her turtle Tank and Scootaloo who has finally confessed herself as being an orphan. Pinkie Pie has the Cakes and her alligator Gummy. Twilight has Spike. And even Fluttershy has all of her animals. And me... well..."

Discord turned to look at his empty (and well furnished) cave of a home.

"All's I have is me, myself, and I... when Fluttershy isn't here of course."

Discord sighed and looked back down to all the ponies below him.

"I just wish that there was somepony who could live with me. I'm not asking for a bride or anything... just... a friend... a housemate perhaps."

Discord sighed and chuckled at a memory he was thinking of.

"I remember the rumors I've heard the second time I tried taking over Equestria. Everypony said that they could've SWORN they saw a light violet Earth Pony filly with poofy violet and white hair, a baseball and a screw for a Cutie Mark, wearing an orange and green propellor beenie cap, and had purple swirls for her eyes instead of an iris and pupils. Everypony said that she was my daughter!"

Discord laughed at such a thought. He's never had a daughter in his life!

"They all said that I probably accidentaly created her with my chaotic powers. Just think of it! Creating life with just a snap of my fingers!"

Discord continued to laugh for a whole 3 minutes before finally calming down. He wiped away a few joyfull tears and sighed.

"But everypony knows... it was just a fluke. And I... will never have anypony in this cave with me."

Discord sighed and decided to take a walk through Ponyville, since he seems more trusted there than anywhere else in Equestria. It will take awhile 'till all of Equestria will be able to trust him again after the whole "being tricked into teaming up with Tirek to take over Equestria" incident. He was more trusted in Ponyville because he was one of their ruler's, Princess Twilight Sparkle, friends. Discord wasn't so sure if he was Twilight's friend, until she refered to him, in front of the other Mane Five and Tirek no less, as a friend.

Discord still remembered that moment of truth.

*Flashback/Spoiler*

It was a battle between Tirek and Princess Twilight Sparkle. Tirek had decided to make a comitment with Twilight. The contiment was the release of her friends, Rarity, Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and even Spike and Discord.

"How about a trade Princess Twilight." Tirek smirked cruelly. "Their release for all the Alicorn magic in Equestria."

Twilight gasped and looked at her friends, who were all saying don't do it.

"What's it going to be, Princess?"

"Don't do it Twilight!" Rainbow Dash demanded.

"We aren't worth it!" Fluttershy added.

Discord cringed at Fluttershy's words... he couldn't stand to see his first friend trapped and saying words like that.

"Oh, but you are Fluttershy." Discord said to the butterscotch pegasus. "You're the pony who taught me that friendship is magic. I had magic AND friendship... and now... I don't have either."

Discord covered his face with his hands so that Fluttershy wouldn't see him cry. He couldn't believe that he fell for Tirek's tricks... he should've known... every villain wants something for their own.

"ENOUGH!" Tirek pounded the ground with his giagantic forehooves. "I want an answer, and I want it NOW!"

Twilight looked back to all of her girlfriends, seeing their bubble traps glisten with color. Her eyes suddenly flashed rainbow, having the rainbow connection the other Mane Five mares had.

"I will give you my magic." Twilight said boldly. "In exchange for my friends."

The trapped ones gasped in horror at Twilight's decision... even Discord himself.

"As you wish." Tirek smiled cruelly, snapping his fingers, making everyone but Discord's trap disappear.

"ALL of my friends." Twilight demanded, now seeing that Discord was still trapped.

"After the way he betrayed you, you still call him a friend?!" Tirek refered to the draconequus, who was sad with guilt and regret.

"Release him!" Twilight demanded, more firm this time.

"If that's what you want." Tirek commited, snapping his fingers to make Discord's bubble trap disappear.

"Thank you Twilight." Discord said softly when he was back on the ground.

Discord looked over to Fluttershy and his ears dropped.

"I'm sorry." He said sadly.

"I know." Fluttershy nodded, tears in her eyes.

"What were you thinking?!" Spike yelled as they all gathered around the lilac princess, who Tirek was just finished with taking her magic.

"Tirek tricked me into thinking that he could offer me something more value than friendship." Discord sighed regretfully. "But there is nothing worth more... I see that now. He lied when he said that this medallion was a sign of graditude and loyalty, but when I say that it IS a sign of our true friendship... I am telling the truth."

With that, Discord took the medallion off of his neck and putted it around Twilight's. Twilight looked at the medallion with a greatfull expression. She gasped when she saw the rainbow flash across it.

"You think that might be the last one we need?" Applejack asked, confusing Discord a bit.

"We have to get to the chest." Twilight nodded.

*Flashback*

Discord smiled at the memory... who knew that he had the last key to the chest all along?! With that medallion he gave Twilight, they were finally able to open the mysterious chest by the Tree Of Harmony, which turned out to have great rainbow powers inside it that helped the Mane Six defeat Tirek. Not only that. When the chest disappeared into the ground at the spot where the library used to be (Tirek destroyed it of course), a new CASTLE grew! TWILIGHT'S CASTLE! Turned out that Ponyville was her kingdom ALL ALONG! Discord was happy that he could help her find her true worth as a princess. And with the castle came a throne room with 7 thrones... ones for the Mane Six and one for Spike. Discord was confused why HE didn't have a throne, but agreed with Fluttershy when she said that he wasn't quite THERE yet.

Discord sighed and smiled with his eyes closed, remembering all his great memories of friendship. He was so caught up that he wasn't looking where he was going.

"WAH!" Discord cried as he tripped over a pile of trash (good thing nopony was around to see it).

Discord got up and growled, dusting himself off.

"Now who in Equestria leaves a pile of trash right in the middle of the road?"

Discord looked back at the pile and his ears popped up.

What he was looking at was a pile of scrap metal and wires.

"How strange." He said to himself, inspecting a string of red wire. "Usually, this kind of material could be used to..."

Discord stopped himself in mid sentence. He inspected the entire pile, confirming himself that there was enough material for what he was thinking of.

"This was placed here for a reason." He stroked his beard in thought. "Maybe it's because of me? But... what could I make?"

Discord studied the color of the metal... white with a few pieces being light violet and light pink blended perfectly together. Discord smiled, knowing EXACTLY what he'll make.

"I always did find her quite nice to have around." The draconequus chuckled as he gathered up the misplaced scraps.

Back in his cave, Discord set to work to making his robot. Carefully screwing and hammering the pieces in the right place. As he worked, a song started to play in his head.

*I believed what we had would last forever.*

*After all the moments we spent together.*

*Were they meaningless in the end?*

*If friendship is supposed to be magic.*

*Then why has ours become so tragic?*

*You're no longer proud to call you my friend.*

*Feels like after all this time.*

*You should've known, we'd be here tonight.*

*Wondering where the past has gone.*

*All the memories we lost when we moved on.*

*Honestly, it hurts thinking.*

*About the way it was just you and me.*

*This isn't what friendship's supposed to be.*

Discord now had his pieces all together. He started attatching all the pony parts he had built together... he felt like he was making a FrankenPony... but knew that he was only making a robot pony. Soon, his creation would be perfectly complete.

*Giving up always seemed so easy.*

*But it's hard when it's you and me.*

*Tell me you don't wanna say goodbye.*

*We've heard each other time and time again.*

*Guess all good things come to an end.*

*I don't wanna lose you tonight.*

*Feels like after all this time.*

*You should've known, we'd be here tonight.*

*Wondering where the past has gone.*

*All the memories we lost when we moved on.*

*Honestly, it hurts thinking.*

*About the way it was just you and me.*

*This isn't what friendship's supposed to be.*

Discord was almost finished with his robot. He just needed to make a few more adjustments and program it.

*Don't say goodbye.*

*Promise everything will be alright.*

*Don't leave me.*

*I'm sorry.*

*I'll fix this if it costs me my life.*

*Going to make this right.*

Discord had finally finished his creation. He stepped back and admired his work, proud with what he had done.

*Feels like after all this time.*

*You should've known, we'd be here tonight.*

*Wondering where the past has gone.*

*All the memories we lost when we moved on.*

*Honestly, it hurts thinking.*

*About the way it was just you and me.*

*This isn't what friendship's supposed to be.*

Discord had made a perfect robot replica of Sweetie Belle! The only difference that this robot had against the real Sweetie Belle was that she was shiny with metal and had lines spiraling in her eyes.

Discord reached out to his newly made friend and touched her horn, activating the Sweetie Belle robot.

"Rebooting... rebooting..." The robot said in a robotic voice. "Rebooting complete. WAH! Where am I?"

"Welcome home... Sweetie Bot." Discord smiled.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. More is surely to come. I have a whole plot laid out in my head from start to finish. I will be making this story on my own (regrets to my usual co-writer, KrymynalKrimzon), so surely there will be no delay (since she's kinda slacking off with some of our stories).

Song was inspired from a Sweetie Bot speedpaint made by Ezynell ArtSpotlights.
