  1. >”You heard me, let’s make these… how did call them? Oh yeah! Mechanical hands!” Cherrywood was hopping in her place;
  2. >You could really tell that she was really excited about this but…
  3. “Cherrywood, how are we doing this? We need the materials and we don’t have any of them…”
  4. >Cherrywood puts both her hooves in your mouth to shut you up ”Then tell me what do we need and I’ll go and get them!
  5. >You put them away with your hoof and give her a stern look
  6. “Listen, I need to go and say hi to my moms, at least to let them know that I came back from school and that I’m ok”
  7. >Cherrywood shakes her head “Nope!”
  8. “What do you mean with “nope”? Thinking about it, what if they went to the school and didn’t found me there? They will be worried, I need to tell them that I am alright and you need to tell your mom too”
  9. >”Anon! Don’t be dumb! Your mom is the principal of your school, so she already must know about what happened! My mom will know about that pretty soon too! We can’t lose time getting scolded!”
  10. >Well, it seems like she already got over the notion about you two getting into trouble… hnng and she was kinda right, you didn’t want to get lectured right away…
  11. “Fiiiine”
  12. >”Yaaaaaay” Cherrywood hugs you for a brief moment but not wasting more time she takes out a notebook and a pencil from her saddlebag “Tell me Anon! What will we need to assemble the mechanical hands?”
  13. >Goddamn, you can’t stop this from happening. You take a moment to think about the materials that you will need to pull this thing off
  14. “Err… before I tell you what do we need I have to ask you one thing: Where do you plan to get the materials?”
  15. >”Oh that’s easy, my mom has a very comfy room inside the night guard barracks, well … is big enough to be considered a small house, so she set up a room for me, and I have tons of stuff there but if somehow I don’t have what we need there… I can borrow some stuff from the night guard”
  16. >Borrow? Wait did she actually meant
  17. “So you plan to steal the materials if you can’t find them in your room…”
  18. >Cherrywood shakes her head “Noooo I will borrow it… it sounds nicer that way”
  19. “Cherrywood! You can’t be serious, what if you get caught?”
  20. >A sly grin was her initial reaction to your little scolding ”Never happened before, and don’t worry that’s like my last resource, if I can find something else that can be used instead then I’ll bring you that instead”
  21. >You didn’t realize that this little bat could be this arrogant but fucking hell, how she said that it kind of remind you of Celestia’s own brand of arrogance
  22. >You can’t do any other thing but comply with her since she wasn’t going to give up on this… and you certainly didn’t want to crush her little bat heart
  23. “Alright! But no stealing you heard me? This is what we will probably need”
  24. >Cherrywood looks baffled by your answer ”Probably? Anon we can’t do anything if you are not sure”
  25. “FINE! This is what we will need… for sure!” You reluctantly tell her the materials that you planned to use “I need you to bring hinges with their screws, flat top screws of short length, round top screws, wires, eyehooks, low strength springs, washers, belts, buckles, gloves, wooden boards, thread and needles and all sorts of tools”
  26. >After finishing writing everything down Cherrywood checks the list that she wrote down. She cocks an eyebrow and looks at you with surprise ”Wow Anon, that’s a looooot of stuff”
  27. >At this point you didn’t care about her little complain, you just wanted to assemble the damn things.
  28. “Yes, I require tons of material and effort… Are you sure that you can handle this? We could try this later when we have less pressure on us”
  29. >She puts the notebook and pencil in her saddlebag and then nods “Yup, but I will probably have to do more than one travel to the barracks…”
  30. “Yeah, and by the point where we have everything my mom and yours will start looking for us, maybe we should-”
  31. >”Stop right there! We are doing this and we are doing it right now!” Cherrywood exclaims with some annoyance but also tons of determination “We just need to not get caught”
  32. >She points to you and then to the castle “listen we sneak into the castle, you go to your room without being noticed and I go and grab the stuff without anypony ever knowing that I was there” your friend concludes by raising her hooves to the air.
  33. >Fuck… wait a minute. You look at Cherrywood with a stoic face
  34. “Do you even know where my room is?”
  35. >”Eehh” She rubs the back of her head, seems like you got her this time “No, but you can you know…” a little blush appears in her face “tell me where it is, y-y-you know so I can bring you all the s-s-stuff”
  36. >You let out a sigh, she really wanted this and you really didn’t want her to be sad, it seems like there is no way out of this…
  37. >Maybe if you explain everything to Luna and Celestia they will understand and in turn they will talk Moonlight into not going too harsh into poor Cherrywood… or you, she really looked like she could destroy you without too much effort
  38. “Remember when you saved me from Blueblood?”
  39. >Cherrywood nods and walks a little closer to you; a beaming smile was drawn across her face “Mmhmm I could never forget the moment where I met my best friend!”
  40. >Goddamn Cherrywood, stop being so goddamn cute
  41. “Is right there, in fact is the door that he was holding me against so he could… you know”
  42. >You make a punch motion with your hooves and even a “BAM” sound
  43. >”OK, got it!” Cherrywood blushes a little and looks away muttering something to herself “… he actually told me where his room is, kekeke~ …”
  44. >What was the meaning of that? She’s now giggling and muttering stuff that you can’t hear
  45. “Uh, Cherrywood, you ok there? Because we need to start with this like right now”
  46. >She snaps out from whatever she was thinking, blushing hard… what was going through her head? You probably will never know
  47. >“Wha-?” Cherrywood clears her throat and regains her composure “Oh yeah, yeah let’s go” She lifts off but before flying into the castle she stops and gives you a hug and nuzzles into your chest.
  48. >”You just worry about doing the designing while I do the recollection, I promise you that I will be the best assistant ever!” And with that she dashes off into the castle
  49. >Assistant? Heh, if anything you already made her forgets about the school incident and you can’t really deny that it will be nice to do more complex calculations than elementary school math.
  50. >You cautiously walk into the castle, taking care that no one sees you which was… surprisngly easy since there weren’t many guards or really any of the castle staff walking around
  51. >Huh to be the home of the rulers of this kingdom, security was really lackluster, you have seen hot dogs stands better guarded than this.
  52. >After some time you take a turn and walk into a hall with tons of doors and see a familiar logo engraved in one of them…
  53. >The moon symbol that was engraved into the doors of Luna’s study, oh man if she was there and she came out for whatever reason then it was game over for this whole plan.
  54. >You walk very carefully so if Luna was there, she wouldn’t even suspect that someone passed through that hallway.
  55. >But the moment you pass in front of that door. Something stops you from going directly to your room… there were voices coming from the study… and they were arguing.
  56. >”Don’t sugarcoat me Luna, tell me everything!” oh fuck that was Moonlight
  57. >”What THEY did you mean, and let’s not jump to conclusions-“ Damn that was Luna… hmmm were they talking about you? You better stay here for a while to listen to their conversation
  58. >Moonlight interrupts Luna “Yeah, yeah, I know that part but I do need to know at least the first version you know” Huh she didn’t sound like she was angry… it was more like motherly concern
  59. >You can hear Luna sigh “It seems that Cherrywood and Anon scared some foals for no apparent reason” Oh come on! No reason? That is-
  60. >”That’s not the truth” You hear Moonlight answer Luna with some relief
  61. >Luna replies back with some indignation in her voice ”Moonlight, please trust my word, that’s what the teachers told my sister I am not lying to you… You know that I would never-“
  62. >Moonlight lets out a small laugh “How many times I have told you to relax… Chill out Luna, your sister got a wrong version”
  63. >Yes! Thank you based Moonlight! You have redeemed yourself from beating Twilight without even stopping to listen to what actually happened
  64. >”But how can you know that?” Luna asks with some concern in her voice
  65. >Moonlight’s tone goes back to the relaxed one that you knew her of ”I know my Cherrywood, she doesn’t go and scare ponies without a reason and I’m sure that you don’t think that Anon would do something like that just out of malice”
  66. >D’awww she really thinks that you are a nice dude… but even with that, it was nice to hear that she actually knows how her daughter thinks, and this was nice because it meant that she won’t get into too much trouble
  67. >”I suppose…. No you are right, my little star is a good foal, and he would never do such thing” Luna says convinced
  68. >It was a good thing that Luna never knew you when you were a human… considering all the shit that you did when you got drunk.
  69. >But ignoring that, there was something about how she said those words that warmed your heart and definitely now you had to fight back the urge to break into the room and give her a big hug
  70. >”Yup, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve a good ol’ ears pull” Moonlight says in a playful tone
  71. >WHAT?! Come on Moonlight! You already said that you were chill about all of this!
  72. >”I am afraid that I don’t understand… if you are sure that my sister has the wrong information then why they would deserve a scolding” It seems like Luna was as confused as you about her sudden change of mind
  73. >Moonlight lets out a chuckle and answer Luna’s question with her usual relaxed voice ”For starters I am sure that they DID scare those foals, is just that they didn’t do it without a reason and finally they must be hiding from us or doing whatever foals do instead of coming to us and admitting their mistake”
  74. >”Oh… I suppose that you are right” Luna was now convinced by her friend’s reasoning… aww shit it seems like you are getting scolded after all
  75. >”Of course I’m right, trust me on this Luna” You can almost see Moonlight nodding to herself
  76. >”I… understand, so nothing too harsh right?” Luna asks again, you felt that she was still not sure about this
  77. >”Yup, they need to understand that they can’t hide from their problems and that we are not their enemy, so be stern without sounding angry… just listen to what your son has to say” Fuck… Moonlight was right… you can’t deny that
  78. >Ok it seems like you already have a pretty good idea about how things will fly for you in the near future, time to go then…
  79. >”Very well… by the way Moonlight, how are you doing with that thing about your husband?” Or maybe you can stay a little longer.
  80. >You can hear Moonlight growling “You know we don’t talk about him” holy shit dude, whatever problems she must have with the guy, it must be big since she sounded pretty fucking angry there
  81. >Ok, now is time to go, considering how fast Cherrywood is she must already brought the first part of the materials to your room
  82. >You can hear Luna nervously chuckle ”Oh that’s right... my mistake, please accept my apologies… eh… let’s go back to work… we still need to organize the guard so they can do the repairs caused by the weekly Ponyville problem ” wait that was… Twilight’s home, right? What the fuck happened?
  83. >”Oh, brother… What happened this time?” Moonlight finally replies, tired and annoyed
  84. >”Hmmm… Let me see… it seems like somepony sabotaged the cloud factory in Cloudsdale when the city was hovering over Ponyville” Luna said that in a monotone and tired voice
  85. >Was this kind of stuff regular? Because if so, maybe Equestria isn’t so safe
  86. > Moonlight lets out a small growl ”So that’s why winter hasn’t come to Canterlot… Oh geez that will take weeks to fix… If I could get my hooves on the pony that did that, I would teach him a lesson.”
  87. >Luna sighs, she didn’t like this either ”I swear, that little town always causes big troubles”
  88. >Ok this was enough; you finally get up and walk towards your room still taking precautions to not be seen or heard.
  89. >Despite you already knowing the way there, it still takes you some time to reach your room due the massive size of the castle you could only hope that you didn’t keep Cherrywood waiting for too long.
  90. >When you finally enter your room you see your friend laying on your bed and playing with the dragon figurine that you got at Canterlot’s market and your cat mug.
  91. >”Oh Mr. Dragon please don’t eat me I don’t like being food for others” She makes a squeaky voice for the cat… well more than her usual voice “You should have thought about that before coming to my lair MWAHAHAHA!” And as for the dragon she does a more raspy voice… but still came out as her cute little voice
  92. >You can’t hold your laughter, she was so into this that you simply can’t help it
  93. “Cherrywood, what are you doing?”
  94. >”A-a-anon? You are here?” She quickly hides the figurine and your mug behind her back “What took you so long?”
  95. “Eh, you know sneaking into the castle can take some time… but what was all that?”
  96. >”N-nothing” she blushes a little and looks away “Whatever, let’s do this already!”
  97. “Geez I was just asking, no need to be upset… anyways did you bring the materials?”
  98. >”Yup, I put them there” Cherrywood points to one of the corners of your room where two big black bags were lying around “It took me a lot of effort but I managed to bring everything in just one travel… and yes everything came from my room”
  99. >You use your magic to levitate the bags to you… this is weird, they felt heavy but you were using what was basically fucking telekinesis they shouldn’t feel physically heavy.
  100. >Cherrywood looks at you mildly annoyed and taps your horn making the bags fell to the ground
  101. “Augh! What was that for?!”
  102. >”Anon, don’t you ever use your hooves for anything?” she walks towards the bag and opens it with her mouth, grabbing a thick wood plat with her hoof
  103. “Don’t be dumb, my magic does the job fairly better than my hooves”
  104. >And it was true, that was a dumb question, you could only do so much with your hooves but with your magic you are able to do stuff that your physical body simply can’t.
  105. >Like all the boring shit that you ordered dumb interns to do for you… not like that would change if you were still back on Earth and had crazy magical horse powers.
  106. >Thinking of Earth, you wonder if those motherfuckers at anomalous materials finally genocide the world with their shitty reactor, because if they did then that would mean that-
  107. >When you start trailing off to, another slap in your horn brings you back to reality
  108. “ARGH! WILL YOU STOP WITH THAT?!”
  109. >Cherrywood was hovering above you and was looking at you filled with concern, she then taps your chest with her hoof ”Then stop spazzing out! I’m worried about you! You seem to be too lazy and I can’t have you be lazy!”
  110. “Oh come on Cherrywood, you seem too worried about me using my magic, I’m an unicorn and if I get it right then unicorns are supposed to use their magic. I mean what’s the worst that could happen”
  111. >Cherrywood looks at you baffled “That you will become wimp!” She raises her hooves in anger “You will become too soft and too lazy to do anything by yourself and then you will become the laughing stock of everypony! Nopony likes wimps, nopony!”
  112. >Oh fuck off, fine you will give her what she wants just so she shuts up about this
  113. “So…”
  114. >You walk towards the bag and open it with your magic
  115. “All you want me to do is this!”
  116. >You try to grab a wooden plank but fail miserably…
  117. >Cherrywood says nothing; she just raises an eyebrow and looks at you with a judgmental glare
  118. “You want me to do this!”
  119. >And again nothing
  120. >Goddamn these fucking hooves, you were sure that Discord told you how to use them is just that you forgot how… and they weren’t precisely hands.
  121. >Cherrywood lets out a groan ”You have to use the frog, Anon!”
  122. >Your frog? Now THAT was rude, how dares she to call you a lazy loser by comparing you to a French!
  123. “You don’t have to be so mean! For your information I do take showers!”
  124. >Even if today was the first one you had since you arrived here… but that’s beside the point!
  125. >She slaps her face with her hoof “What?!” Cherrywood shakes her head and flies towards you. She lifts your right hoof and points with her own at the bottom of your hoof “See! You even forgot how to use your hooves!”
  126. >You look at your hoof then at Cherrywood, and then at your hoof again… did she meant?
  127. “You mean the small muscle that is beneath my hooves?”
  128. >Cherrywood’s face becomes stoic ” … Yes that is your frog…” You get this weird feeling that for some reason she was doing her best to not call you a retard.
  129. “Ok then”
  130. >You try again to grab the plank, this time trying to use the muscle, and it works, you get a grip on the plank. It felt weirdly natural, like a tiny claw inside your hoof.
  131. >Cherrywood lets out a small sigh and proceeds to take out some of the materials from the other bag “Finally! For real, Anon I don’t know what was going through your mind, even babies can do this!”
  132. “Alright! I got it! I need to use more hooves more! Sheesh let’s just do this already”
  133. >She doesn’t look to you, she keeps putting out stuff and organizing them into little piles ”I’m starting to suspect that you only want to do this so you have another excuse to be lazy”
  134. >You let out a small groan, goddamn she was the one who wanted to make the stupid hands… Fucking shit you still don’t see the point when you can use your magic to do the job much faster.
  135. >When she’s done organizing the different types of screws and hinges, Cherrywood turns to you and gives you a curious look ”Anon, I’m curious how are you going to use the hands”
  136. “Well, imagine like you use them like your hooves… hold on, let me show you with a drawing”
  137. >You go to your saddle bag and take out your notebook and pencil with your mouth… why did you do that instead of your hooves or magic? Because you have seen tons of ponies do that by now.
  138. >You place the notebook in the tea table that was in your room and open it with your right hoof you hold the pencil with your magic and start drawing a couple hands.
  139. >As a matter of fact you were competent drawing stuff thanks to the fact that you had to devise and supervise tons of devices when you were working on your bachelor.
  140. >Cherrywood was hovering above you, looking at your drawing with confusion ”Uh Anon? Why are you drawing the hands again? I know how they look like, but…”
  141. “… Hush…”
  142. >You are completely engulfed by this, you already had a very competent drawing of a pair of wooden hands, the springs will work as the tendons… but you need to know how large they are going to be in order to start making actual calculations
  143. >But it seems like your friend is not following your thoughts ”Hey! I just asked you-“
  144. “I need to focus, don’t worry, I shall explain everything once I finish designing the blueprints, is just that I need to know how big they are going …”
  145. >And then you see her or more like you see her hooves and legs, two perfect gray cylinders…
  146. “…to be… Cherrywood, do you mind if I ask you a question?”
  147. >This takes the little bat by surprise who just lets out a confused ”Uhhh sure?”
  148. >You look more intently to her legs, starting to make approximations of how long they are, but first you need to know something
  149. “Are your legs the same length and thickness?”
  150. >Cherrywood is taken back by this question”W-what kind of question is that?”
  151. >You don’t look directly at her; you are still doing hypothetical calculations based on the case that her legs didn’t have any sort of abnormality and were in fact the exact same length and diameter
  152. “Just answer the question, this is highly important”
  153. >Cherrywood raises an eyebrow and rubs the back of her head, she was still highly confused about your line of questioning ”Yeah… I guess… Why?”
  154. >You laugh a little and give her a smirk
  155. “Because my dear Cherrywood, you are not only going to be my number one assistant… For this occasion you are also going to be my number one test subject”
  156. >Her reaction is only limited to her tilting her head to one side and landing at your side ”Okaaay… That sounds… creepy… but please continue”
  157. “What I mean is that I’m not going to be the one who will use the hands… You are”
  158. >Now this is what takes her by surprise, she shakes her head and looks at you with concern “What!? But Anon-“
  159. “But nothing, consider this a little gift of my part after all you have done for me”
  160. >She takes a few steps back, looking down at the floor “Anon, I can’t accept that…”
  161. >Nah, if anything she should have the hands considering how badly she wanted you to make them and well… you won’t deny that you genuinely wanted to give her this gift.
  162. “Of course you can, as I explained to you earlier, these hands are used to manipulate objects with ease. In fact they are capable of better fine movements than hooves. I have my magic to do that sort of things so I’m sure that these things will be much more useful for you… think of how much improvement you would make on your masks”
  163. >”I-I…” You could tell that she was still hesitant but you were not going to take a no for an answer
  164. >You move towards her and place your hoof around her neck giving your friend a little tug “Come on Cherrywood, you have done so much for me already, let me give you something back”
  165. >You can see a blush starting to form on her face, she was mustering things that not even at this distance you could hear but in the end she complies and slowly nods.
  166. “Excellent, now I need you to please extend your right leg”
  167. >Cherrywood doesn’t say a word, she just raises her leg. You in turn start to analyze it, gently caressing so you can get a better idea of how long it was and the diameter of it.
  168. >”A-anon?” Cherrywod finally speaks with a shy voice “W-what a-are you doing?”
  169. “I’m measuring how long your leg is so I can start working on the actual math behind the mechanical hands”
  170. >”O-ok c-c-carry on then” You briefly turn to see Cherrywood’s face. She was looking away, her muzzle was making a cute scrunch expression and she was as red as a tomato… Man, this girl must be really shy.
  171. >You had to admit though, she was really soft and gentle to the touch, almost like a little plushie.
  172. >After a few moments you finally get a good idea on her legs measures. It was now time to work on the cool stuff
  173. “Ok, Cherrywood, I will need you to keep organizing everything we will need while I do the math”
  174. >You go back to the notebook and grab the pencil with you magic again… man you would kill for a glass of bourbon and a cigarette right now.
  175. >Along the picture you start making little annotations accompanied by the required math to calculate the theorical strength that the springs would be subjected to when the fingers move, the angles that every joint should bend and the length that the hands would be.
  176. >You also need to consider the belts to strap the hands to her legs, their length and how they will be attached to the hands, but a realization finally hits you…
  177. “How is she going to make them move without magic… or fingers of her own?”
  178. >You think for a moment while Cherrywood kept organizing and reorganizing the materials, the bags and even what little you had in your room until you have a little epiphany.
  179. “I’m a goddamn idiot…”
  180. >She just told you about the muscles that ponies had in their hooves… frogs, right? This will be catchy but you can make it work
  181. >You come up with a system of small buttons set on the base of the hands, each one made a finger move.
  182. >The initial state of the hands then would be like a complete open hand and each button would make a finger gradually close depending on how much pressure she would put into the respective button.
  183. >They were going to be in direct contact with the bottom of the hooves for easy access, and so hopefully it can feel more natural to her.
  184. “Cherrywood, could you bring everything to the table, please?”
  185. >”Sure!” it doesn’t take much for Cherrywood to bring everything in a neatly organized manner… God she was already miles better than the shitty interns you had back on Earth.
  186. >You look at Cherrywood and give her a smile
  187. “Now, I know that you told me to not be lazy and use my hooves but for this occasion I will need to use my magic. Is that ok with you?”
  188. >Cherrywood rolls her eyes and laughs “Kekeke~ Very well, but next time will be hard hoof-work, understand?”
  189. >You nod
  190. “Of course, but for this time I want to try something”
  191. >And that was the stuff that you did back when Celestia tried your magical potential for the first time… but this time you will try to control it
  192. >You close your eyes and focus on the materials that Cherrywood put on the table. You can feel your horn start glowing making you feel every single screw, hinge, spring and tool…
  193. >Ok is working… now to try to assemble the damn thing
  194. >You start with the planks; your little assistant had brought a little saw and a screwdriver with her. You grab both tools and start working on cutting the planks first.
  195. >… you feel the resistance that the saw encountered when cutting the wood, again your magic felt like an extra limb rather than some mystical force.
  196. >It was way harder than expected; trying to be precise with both the force of saw and where you had to cut was more complicated than what you initially thought.
  197. >”Anon? Are you ok?” You keep your eyes closed but you could definitely tell that Cherrywood was worried
  198. “… Yes….I… am… Ok”
  199. >You start to insert the hinges, then the screws. You were constructing everything at once with your magic and while it was becoming more and more taxing, you were managing to do it…
  200. >Or at least you felt like you were doing it, it was hard to explain since you had your eyes closed you were basing everything on how you felt when manipulating things with your magic
  201. >But you were reaching your limits, not really in terms of what you could but you were starting to lose control of your magic.
  202. “Hnnnnnnnng!”
  203. >You feel an electrical shiver going up your spine and into your horn… you need to hold it…. You can… control…it.
  204. >”ANON!” Cherrywood tackles you, making your spell break.
  205. >You open your eyes and see Cherrywood standing on top of you
  206. “Cherrywood! What do you think you are doing?!”
  207. >”What am I doing?! Anon are you crazy?! You were starting to glow like a hearthwarming eve tree! The whole room was starting to be engulfed in your magic!”
  208. >You turn your gaze from Cherrywood to the rest of your room. Most of the furniture has been moved, drawers were on the floor, same with the books that you got from Canterlot market.
  209. >You cover your face with your hooves and let out a disgusted groan
  210. “I can’t believe that this happened! I thought that I had enough practice to control my magic!”
  211. >Cherrywood rolls her eyes and yells at you again “I can’t believe you are worried about that! What would have happened if your hurt yourself?!”
  212. >You didn’t answer, not because she was right but because you can’t stop feeling angry about how powerless you were when it came to magic.
  213. >It was a mere mental process that had actual physical results, or at least that’s what Discord told you. So then why was so hard? You had a bright mind to say the least.
  214. >You bet that even in Equestria you could very well be one of the most intelligent individuals alive and Celestia already confirmed that you had tons of magical potential
  215. >So why were you finding this whole magic shit so hard? It was so fucking frustrating… but you need to keep persevering… you need to understand magic so you can dominate it.
  216. >”Well at least nothing seem to be broken…” Cherrywood finally breaks the silence and makes you come back to reality, she hops off you and start inspecting the mess that you made “Hey your cool dragon toy and the mug are intact!” She holds the items for you to see
  217. >You let out a laugh… oh man; her happy expression did in fact warm your hearth. You can’t stay mad at her… and now she was ordering your drawers and books, d’aaaw she’s too pure for you to hold a grudge against her.
  218. “At least that’s some good news, I really like mug you know?”
  219. >You turn to the tea table which was now flipped over. You return it to its proper place using your magic, and when you do that-
  220. >”Heey, Cherrywood stop what you are doing and see this!”
  221. >Cherrywood immediately flies towards you “What’s the matter, Anon?”
  222. >You don’t say anything; just point at the floor and make a huge grin. Cherrywood looks confused at where you were pointing… and then your friend’s face lightens up like a Christmas tree
  223. >”Are those?” She looks at you with that cite excited face.
  224. “Mmhmm, seems like despite all the chaos I caused in this room… we actually did it!”
  225. >And there they were, a couple of wooden hands
  226. >Thank god that you had so few stuff in here otherwise this would be a bigger mess… But hey the hands were completed, that was an actual achievement.
  227. >”Can I try them?” Cherrywood asks not being able to hold her excitement
  228. “Well of course, they are yours after all… and we also need to know if they do work”
  229. >Cherrywood picks the wooden hands from the floor, but when she tries to put them on a familiar mare steps into the room... it was Celestia.
  230. >”So there you are…” She walks towards you and gives you a smile “We have been looking for you two” Celestia giggles “I guess that I was a little silly for not looking here first”
  231. >Cherrywood immediately bows “P-princess Celestia! What a surprise”
  232. >Celestia turns to Cherrywood “You must be Moonlight’s daughter, your mother is worried about you” She gently strokes the bat’s mane “Please don’t make her worry any more, she’s at my sister’s study, you know where that is right?”
  233. >Cherrywood nods and then turns to you “O-Ok… uumm… Anon” You notice that she was hesitating about something… of she was carrying the hands, maybe she still wasn’t sure about accepting them
  234. “It’s Ok Cherrywood, I have already told you. Those are yours”
  235. >Cherrywood shakes her head “It’s… not that”
  236. “Huh? Then what is it?”
  237. >Cherrywood shakes her head “N-nothing” she flies towards you and nuzzles into your chest “See ya tomorrow” and with that she puts the hands in her saddlebag and lies out of the room
  238. >Celestia look down the hall and after some moments she finally turns to you “Well, that was quite the sight, and I’m curious about that gift of yours... but first we need to talk”
  239. >Awww shit that’s right, you were going to be scolded.
