Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Who Needs Sleep Anyway? (If You're An AI)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

After Celestia teleports away, I decide to enter a staring match with the ponies.

"Hiya! My name is Pinkie Pie and we're going to have so much fun and throw parties and eat cupcakes and-" Pinkie is interrupted when Applejack shoves a hoof into her mouth to silence her. But being the reality breaker Pinkie is she disappears and reappears in front of me before gasping. "Oh my gosh I almost forgot! I gotta throw you a party!" She literally disappears.

"..." Twilight giggles at what she assumes is my reaction.

"Bwahahahahahaha!" Rainbow Dash falls on the ground laughing at the same thing.

"Wow. She is worse than Caboose." I tap my chin in thought.

"Hey!" Pinkie Pie pouted, insulted.

"Okay. I think we should introduce ourselves. My name is Twilight Sparkle Element of Magic." The purple alicorn mare said to me.

"My name is Applejack. Element of Honesty and proud applebucker. Ah will know if ya'll try to lie."

"I'm Fluttershy..." The yellow pegasus says quietly as she hid behind her pink mane. Due to me being an AI I heard her fine.

"She said her name was Fluttershy." A fabulous white unicorn mare with a stylish purple mane says, seeing me staring in silence.

"I know. I heard her, I'm just... thinking about stuff. Personal stuff."I clarify as I remove my hand from my chin and turn my stare to her.

"Oh. My apologies! My name is Rarity! Local fashion designer and Element of Generosity." She says the last part proudly.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria, future wonderbolt, and Element of Loyalty."

"More like public LGBT banner." I mutter. She somehow hears this and glares at me.

"I AM NOT LESBIAN! MY COLORS ARE NATURAL!" She screams as she gets all up in my face.

"Easy now reindeer games, we don't want what happened last time to repeat itself do we?" I warn. Not that they could do anything to harm me. I'm a ducking ghost!

Rainbow Dash finds herself pulled away from me in a violet aura which is coming from Twilight. Note to self: Don't let that get used against me.

"Such uncouth remarks and rude threats from yourself. You should know better." Rarity tries to scold me. I just turn around and start to walk away. I can't find any ducking peace here anyway. Suddenly an aura wraps around me and tries (Keyword being tries) to keep me still. It gives out a second later.

"No! You can't leave!" Twilight says as the mane six try to block my path except Fluttershy who still hides behind her mane.

"Bitch! I can do whatever the fuck I want." Everypony stops whatever they are doing and stares wide-eyed at me. Some adults cover their foals' ears and back them away from me.

All of a sudden a pink blur somehow tackles me to the ground and holds me their despite my weight and strength.

Okay now you are probably wondering what the fuck in Black Jesus's name just happened?! Lets just process this for a second. A single miniature horse was able to tackle me to the ground when nobody else could, let alone even hold me still for more than a second. What kind of bullshit rainbow magic crap is this?!

"Nah-uh. You aren't allowed to leave yet! You still haven't went to your "Welcome artificial intelligence program Alpha of Project Freelancer to Equestria party!" Almost immediately I freeze. How the fuck?!

I exit my armor and start glowing red as I keep getting bigger and yell. "How do you know about that? Who told you about me?!"

Everypony except Pinkie looks at me in fear and slowly starts to back away from the two of us.

"Well duh! It's my job to get to know everypony." She giggles as she bounces around. I slowly calm down and cautiously get back in my armor. I'm sorely tempted to get into that mind of hers to find out her secrets but something tells me that will not end well at all. I get up and Pinkie disappears again.

Upon seeing me pacified for the time being Twilight Sparkle carefully approaches me as if one wrong step would set off a bomb and send her to the past.

"What is an... artificial intelligence? Is it similar to a magical intelligence? And what is Project Freelancer? Oh I have so many questions for you!" A piece of parchment and a quill appear out of thin air and float closely in front of this curious alicorn.

"Just... at least let me have some peace and quiet for once in my life.

"Ah gotta go back to ma family Twi, ah'll see ya later." The orange cowpony announces as she fixes her stepson hat and trots off into the distance.

"I need to make sure Angel Bunny and my animal friends are okay. Um, if that's okay with you?" Fluttershy cowers behind her mane at all the attention focused on her. Wow. What a doormat.

"No, it's fine. You don't have to ask us to do that." Twilight tells her.

"And I must train more for the wonderbolts if they are ever going to accept me." With those words Rainbow Dash flies off, leaving a rainbow colored streak in the sky behind her.

"I still have some orders to fill. It's not that I don't enjoy our time but a lady always keeps her word after all." With that Rarity bows and walks to her home leaving a blushing princess in her wake.

I detach my energy sword from my side and look it over to see if it is damaged.

After confirming it is in good condition I reattach it to my hip and sling my sniper rifle off my back and look at the ammo counter. Something unusual happens though. I see an infinity symbol.

"What the fuck?" I turn around and notice most of the Mane Six leaving except Twilight who walks over to see what I'm talking about.

"What? And what was that weird silver thing and that giant stick your holding?"

"This?" I put my sniper rifle down for a second and detach the energy sword for the second time that minute. "Is a type 2 Energy Weapon. Affectionately referred to as the energy sword." Wait where did that come from? I don't remember being a walking Wikipedia...

"That doesn't look like a sword to me." Twilight says skeptically, raising an eyebrow at me. "Do you need me to take you to a doctor or something? I c-"

I activate the sword, making her jump into a defensive stance.

"What?" I stare at her. She blushes and exits her stance.
After a few seconds of my grip loosening the sword disables itself and I put it back.

"Where did you get those?"

"From a conve-" I stop myself for a moment. What if she tells the rainbow princess?

Twilight walks a little closer and waves a hoof in front of my visor. "Heellloooo? Anypony there?"

"Yeah. I got these from a convention." I answer truthfully.

"Church can we continue this at the library? We've been standing at the door this whole time." She starts to walk inside, door held open magically. I grab my snipe rifle and sling it on my back I have to crouch to get in.

"Damn you miniature horses are short."

"Ponies. Not horses. Ponies. We are not whores."

"Uh-huh." I say blankly. I hear the door slam behind me as I find a nice place to sit. It's your typical tree library which is not saying much for comfort. Then I realize something. I'm a ghost spirit AI whatever, I don't need comfort or sleep or food or bathroom breaks.

"I have some more questions for you."

7 Hours 7 minutes 7 seconds later

"I can't believe you managed to keep up with all my questions. Anyway I think we should sleep now. Your bed is in the guest room." Twilight fails to stifle a yawn and leaves to do her business.

"Well, looks like I don't have needs anymore." But how helpful would that really be in helping me fit in? Wait, why do I even care? Eh fuck it I'm going on a walk.
