"Now, what else shall we make?" I was getting pretty excited. I finally get to make some cool toys.

"I don't have any of my stuff, so I'm a little limited."

"You know what you need? Claws..." Yes... a shapeshifting, pony, Wolverine...

"Claws?"

"Yeah ya know spring loaded so they pop out and let you slash stuff."

"Like the ones used by the Night guard?" Wait, they have a night guard? I'll need to see if I can meet one of them.

"Yeah, except longer and sharper."

"They have a twin claw attached to their shoes, I'm not so sure I can make it spring loaded though" Ribbon shifts from hoof to hoof. "And I have a bigger problem I didn't have before. I have two different hoof sizes now."

"So why don't you make them out of something stretchy?" Like latex...

"They'd be a tight fit fit for sure."

"Better then nothing." Brain, why are putting images of Ribbon in latex stockings in my head? Brain, stahp.

"Alright, I'll ask for a pair from the barracks and have a look at them."

"Now then, I've got an uber-cool blade, but from what I've heard from Pinkies tales, hydras are real here, and bladed weapons do not mix with hydras..." well unless you get it to grow so many heads that it's heart can't meet the blood demand...

"No, no they do not. It'll work on everything else though."

"True, true." I slowly nod my head... "still, the last few days have been insane, haven't they?"

"Yea, I'ed sure like to relax. Maybe I'll go shopping."

"meh, why the hell not?" No seriously, I don't see any problem with shopping. My manliness had left me about the time I made out with Ribbon in front of Celestia...

"I'm only going to go buy some new tools."

"You can do that, I'll go troll bluebutt..."

Ribbon chuckles at that. "Have fun!"

I couldn't help it. "Oh, I will..." I put my forehooves together, and chuckled like a Bond villain.

At this, Ribbon was inching towards the door, more than likely not wanting to get dragged into a prank war. "Sure, uh. I heard from Rarity he has a thing about being covered in cake."

"Like maybe, Celestias cake?" Everyone knows Celestia loves her damned cake… The guards won't shut up about it!

Ribbon simply decided to go, before this got any weirder in her tastes.

*sigh* I miss my video games, I never did manage to beat Masked Dedede and his giant electrified hammer...

Ideaaaaaa!

But first, how would I enchante it?

TO THE LIBRARY!

Which of course... is at the other side of the castle... along with my 'temporary' room.

Another idea! Maybe if I can recreate the feeling of urgency, I can teleport...

Picturing my new room and he feeling of 'get me there now!' My vision was flooded with that spectral greenish-blue hue of my magic.

And promptly teleported three feet over the floor of my room and upside down...

"Aww cra-" *Wham* "Owwwwch."

"Hello, wha- Oh hi Chi, what happened?"Heh, just the nerd I was hoping to find.

Can't talk, just realized can teleport. "I just figured out how to teleport, on purpose this time..."

Twilight stared at me. "This time..?"

"Remember that mare Discord punched into a wall? After I gave into my body's instincts and beat the everloving shit out of him, I kinda dug her out of the rubble, and seeing the state she was in, wanted to get the two of use to a hospital room right that instant…”

“Yeah, that sounds like basic teleportation, most ponies just picture themselves being moved to the desired locat- ohhh, what's that, I’ve never seen a sword like that before…”

Adorkable. Levels. Rising… “Well my dear Twilight, first of all, it’s not a sword, its a katana, and second of all, it was a collaborative effort between me and Ribbon, and no I’m not going to tell you how it was made, for the time being I’m considering it a trade secret.” Oh god she’s pouting… Must divert her interest. “But anyway, I was wondering, is it possible to enchant something to deliver a high-voltage electrical charge upon impact with something?”

“Uh, yeah, all it would take is a high quality thunderstone and a magical circuit. Why did you want to know?”

“Sometimes, you just need to bring the hammer down…” I said cryptically. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go troll Blueblood.”

“Oh… Joy…” Yeah, Twilight doesn't want to get involved in this either.

no, you know what, i'm going to wait until Pinkie shows up, and then we will double team him… Ohhh that will be fun. but anyway,I got what I came for, now back to the forge!

“Oh… it’s you…” or not… Fucking bluebutt.

I whirl around. “You got a problem with that?” My sudden motion made him jump. “Because if you do…” wait for it… “I would prefer that we settle it like civilized ponies.”

His eye twitches. “Very well. What I want to address, is that awful fiasco at breakfast.”

“Dude, I was sleepy, and I hadn't had my coffee. I tend to get a little insane when I’m like that.” No, I meant every last word…

“Oh, wow, that makes you worse than Luna in the morning, or Celestia for that matter… I still remember that one time she spiked my cake with liquid rainbow.” wait, Celestia’s a prankster?

“Liquid… Rainbow? Sounds fruity.” How the fuck does that even work?!? wouldn't the colors just mix?

“You would think that, wouldn't you. It is actually the spiciest thing know to pony kind." Oh. Wow! I may just have to start calling Sunbutt Trollestia.

"Owch..." I winced in sympathy.

"Owch indeed." He nodded.

"Well see you!" And my vision flashed with the now familiar color of my magic.

Ohshi- *Whump* only to teleport a few feet above Ribbon and crash into her...

"Well at least I wasn't upside down this time..."

"Yes that's great and all but, uh. One question. Why are you mounting me?" Wait what?!

*flump!* "oh, crap!" I immediately disentangle myself from her. "Why must these things keep happening to me?!"

"Happening to you? seems to be happening to me just as much." She says as she picks up the tools she dropped.

"True, true... But anyway, I know what I'm going to make next, a giant, electrified, hammer!"

Ribbon sighs. "Which means more work for me. Do you want it made of the same stuff?"

"Okay, but I want to help, I don't feel like being useless."

"But you're not trained, you are useless. Unless don't want it made quickly, you just want it made?" We have a winner.

"Exactly. I want to learn your trade." Gonna need to know this if I'm gonna make guns after all...

"Well, it'll take more than one build you know."

"I know. But I actually want to be a productive member of society."

"And you can't do that now? You already generate alloy's from your body" Wow, you fail economics forever.

"Supply and demand, make too much and it becomes worthless."

"Then only make so much. you can start by asking for compensation for the stuff you've given to the Princess."

"Now why didn't I think of that..."

Ribbon give me one of her 'i am now being sarcastic' smiles. "As I said, You're useless."

I did my best impression of a sad puppy. "But then I get to spend more time with you..."

She couldn't resist and had to look away. "You said you wanted an electrified hammer?"

"Yes..."

"This means I have to break off more plates, huh?"

I smirk. "Why, do you need a hand with that?"

"Unlike you, my chitin plates are limited so I can't just keep breaking them off. I need them." You don't say?!

I roll my eyes "I know, that doesn't mean we can't make the other parts though."

"Wait, you meant 'hoof' right?" Why must she look so cute when she tilts her head?!?

"Derp, that's what I meant to say."

"Okay. We'll make the fill for the hammers core, it's soft, rectangular and doesn't need to be perfect, a good place to get used to a weighted hammer. Though I'd rather start you on something else." She paused for a moment. "And you're not using my new one."

"Well, what are we waiting for! Let do this!" And so we began.

*One montage and two days later...*

"Now all that's left is waiting for you to shed..."

"Could be awhile, it's not like I need to do it every week, month, or year. Only when I'm hurt and need a new one or if I grow."

Hopefully before she has to return to Ponyvi- annnnnd sadface. "Poo, and you're probably going to have to return to Ponyville soon..."

"And the princess wouldn't just let you out either, the public would freak."

That's only if they see the real me... wait... I Slowly apply hoof to face. "DERP! Forgot I could shapeshift as well..."

"Do you really think the Princess would just let somepony as powerful as you go unchecked?... then again the elements live in Ponyville so you wouldn't be completely unchecked. Talk to her."

"Shouldn't we come up with a disguise for me first?"

"Shouldn't we know you can leave before we commit?"

"Hey, even if I can't, it would be useful so I didn't have to sneak around the castle."

"Alright Well, we know you can only turn into a dark or twisted version of whatever it is sooo, don't change anything." Wat...

"I mean stay as you are and just shrink down and loss the wings, or the horn." Oh...

Focusing on a smaller form without a horn, I feel my miasma swirling around me, and my body shrinking...

When I emerge, I am slightly smaller than Ribbons pegasus disguise, and... have Pinkies mane!? Well except a dark purple. Because fuck logic, I'm a pony.

Doing my best Spy imitation. "Gentlemares." What... I couldn't help it.

Ribbon chuckles before copying my accent. "You look good madam, just like a thestral."

"Now then, to Sunbutts lair!... which way is that again?" No seriously, this castle is a freaking maze.

"I dunno, I think it's the tower." Okay then...

"To the tower!"

"You go to the tower. I'm not going near her." Wuss...

"Please, if you get to nervous, we can always make out in front of her again..." I give her a sly grin and a wink.

She blushes the deepest shade of green I've seen yet. "... I think I'll stay here..."

Suddenly my ears pick up the sound of hoofsteps. Ribbon promptly transforms into her pegasus disguise, just before Celestia and Luna walk into the room.

Ribbon adiably gulps. "Hello princess Celestia, Luna..." oh shit, don't have a panic attack Ribbon.

Luna looks at me in curiosity. "And who, pray tell, is this?"

"This is, uh. she's..." Dammit Ribbon...

"Its me, Chitsuki how do you not recognize me? Or do me and Ribbon have to embarrass you again Celestia?"

I hear Ribbon whisper "Please don't."

Celestia goes wide eyed at my remark. "So it is you, well that simplifies things greatly."

Luna continues. "We were planning on relocating you to Ponyville, where the Elements could keep an eye on you, but we couldn't figure out how to get you there unseen."

SUPERHAPPYBOUNCYTIME! "yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes! I get to stay with Ribby!"

"What!?" Well, at least Ribbon isn't panicking about the princesses.

Celestia giggled. "Well it was either her, Derpy Whooves, or Pinkie Pie."

"What about Twilight?" Uh, no!

"Do you WANT me to be turned into a science experiment!?!" I wouldn't put it past her to do that, although introducing her to drunk science would be fun.

"It's better than Ponyville being turned into a battle field if you move in with Pinkie."

"As opposed to me getting Twilight drunk, and causing her to somehow make the magical equivalent of a thermonuclear warhead and completely level it?"

"I don't think I know what that is so, no?" She gives a confused and embarrassed look. "Fine, you can stay with me."

Cannot. Resist. Urge. To. Glomp! "Yaaaay!" Annd impact.

Ribbon yelps, before blushing intensely.

*pomph=3* "Sister, I didn't know you were into that kind of thing?!?" Yes, Luna said that with a shit eating grin...

Celestia would have none of it. She levitated a pair of tickets and drops them at our whooves, before speaking in an incredibly flustered voice. "Tickets. Train. Ponyville. Five o'clock. Goodbye." She then teleported out, presumably to do something about her wingboner.

Luna gave me a grin. "You should probably get going, it's already four o clock." She then teleports, more then likely to go annoy her sister.

"Uhh..." my thoughts exactly, Ribbon.

I haul myself off of Ribbon. "Well, let's go, we don't want to miss the train now do we?"

She nods. "I'll pack up my new tools."
