Unforeseen Consequences - Little workshop of horrors

>Eris wraps around you and gently places her talon under your chin ”Awwww, don’t be sad, my dear dork! Just think about it! We can have the same fun that we used to had in that old, stinky world! And the best part is, we can bring my new best friend too! So let’s rock and ro-”
>”Wait!” Cherrywood burst it before Eris can do anything, looking at her with concern “We can’t go yet! Annony hasn’t opened my gift and I haven’t seen that… that…uuuhhh…” Your bat turns to you with clear confusion in her face “What was the name of that thing that you made for me?”
>You let out a small laugh and walk to Cherrywood
“It’s a 3D model of the Canterlot’s caves that the drone mapped last month. Come on, Cherryberry, as you’re always telling me, don’t be a dummy! I have explained the process to you like a thousand times”
>”Wait…” Eris finally gets up from your work table and hovers above you, narrowing her eyes “By drones you mean….” She gasps when she finally comes to the realization “The security post drones?! Those things have been broken for like, years! Wha- HOW?!”
>You shrug and give Eris a snarky smirk
“Everything is possible when you have an awesome like mine, crafty hooves like Cherrywood’s and…you know, an endless supply of these weird crystals. But before I give the run-down on how we repaired the drone with our awesomeness, lemme do something first…”
>Using your magic, you bring the small gift box that Cherrywood gave to you and open it, and what was inside was…
“Yo! A pair of goggles! Man, these are super-cool! They are even red and… Hey! They even have our initials engraved on them!”
>Cherrywood dashes to you and gives you a big hug ”KeKeKe~! I knew you would like them! Me and my mom made them last night! But…” Your bat breaks the hug and looks at Eris then you “How about we show Sister Eris our super-hyper awesome semi invention?”
>You caress your bat’s mane and nod
“Now we’re talking! Let’s show Eris our… Err… what was the name that you gave to the drone? Night-something, something…”
>”Ugh!” Cherrywood rolls her eyes in annoyance “You big dummy! How did you forget its super cool name?! It is not named “dryness”, or whatever you said, Noooope! Its actual name is… Night crawler! And….uummm…” your bat rubs the back of her neck and gives you a sheepish smile “Which one do I get?”
>You give that smug girl a stoic look and reply
“The one that actually works”
>”Oh, yeah! Duh!” Cherrywood slaps her forehead and laughs “KeKeKe~! We don’t want Sister Eris to see all the junk that we have lying all over our workshop of horrors! Be right back! Wooosh!” and with that, your bat flies to the other side of the lab
>Meanwhile, Eris lands on the ground and crosses her arms, looking at you with disdain.
>You raise an eyebrow and annoyingly question her with a…
“What?”
>Eris narrows her eyes and points her paw at you, angrily whispering ”Oh don’t you even dare to play the innocent! You’ve always said that there was nothing to be done with those pieces of crap! You knew how much money they took from my crappy wage, and now I come here and find out that you and your marefriend fixed them in an afternoon?! You’re a jerk!”
>You roll your eyes and shrug
“That’s rich coming from the draconequus who told me yesterday that our previous lives didn’t matter anymore. Besides, it’s just one drone out of the ten that you idiots bought at that shady e-bay sale… and for your information; we didn’t fix that drone in an afternoon! It took us several weeks to get the thing up and running!”
>Eris looks away and groans “Whatever…” she then sighs and tracing a circle with her paw, creates a very comfy looking couch where she lied on “At least that fella is having her fun… she deserves it, especially when her coltfriend is such a weirdo dork like yourself”
“Oh Hoh-Hoh! The giant snake lady with the pony head and reality-bending powers just called me a weirdo! Did your bite your lip there, my dear “big sister”?”
>You look at Cherrywood who was digging through the gigantic mountain of scrap, empty bags of chips and cans of soda in search of your only working drone…
>And you couldn’t help but to feel an overwhelming warm in your heart.
“But I gotta admit that you’re right… she’s having fun… and me too. We like to build and create stuff, you know? I love to come up with ways to improve her scary masks and costumes, and I’m pretty sure that she likes to help me with my weird science projects”
>You look at Eris, a bright smile was drawn on your face
“You know that she has never asked me about the specifics on how I got all of this stuff, right?”
>Eris raises an eyebrow and asks with mild surprise “What? She has never asked where the incredibly advanced and incredibly expensive laboratory that happens to be in the middle of a creepy cave filled with creepy shining crystals come from? Are you serious?”
>You nod and chuckle
“I just told her that Discord gave me this lab that he managed to bring from the remains of our old world as a gift, and she was fine with that. More than fine actually, she got super excited and begged me to keep this place as our secret hideout, a few days after that and well… we started thinking and developing a lot of projects together in this place… in OUR place”
>”Heh, well…” Eris stands up and stretches her beautiful body “I bet that you two must have a lot of fun during your dates…”
“Well…”
>You rub the back of your neck and let out a nervous chuckle
“I suppose that if we had a date, it would be certainly fun…”
>”If we had a date, what’s that supposed to mea-? Oooooh!” Eris turns to you with a stoic face “Anon… I know that you have always been terrible at this but c’mon… you have taken your marefriend out in a date, right?”
“Err… well, we go to the castle and guard barracks dining halls a lot… and it’s usually just the two of us…. That counts, right?”
>Eris pinches the bridge of her nose and groans “No, Anon, that doesn’t count. That doesn’t count at all…. Sheesh, you truly are the biggest dork this side of the multiverse…” she traces another circle, making the couch to disappear, immediately after, an almost sinister grin appears in Eris’ face “Lucky for you… Sister Eris is here to fix that...”
>You take a step back, her tone just started to make you anxious
“E-Eris, there’s nothing to fix here, Cherrywood and I-“
>”Ah, Ah, Aaaah!” Eris gently puts her talon on your lips “First rule when being on a date: never interrupt what a lady has to say. Now, once your marefriend comes here, we shall- WHOAH!”
>Eris gets interrupted by Cherrywood, who in her excitement, practically throws the drone on the worktable ”Kekeke~! Found it!” your bat then looks at Eris with super proud expression on her face, places her hooves on her waist and proclaims in an exalted voice “Behold! The Night Crawler!”
>”Duuuuude!” Eris hovers above the table, so she could inspect the drone better “That… That really doesn’t look like the cheap piece of plastic that I remember…”
>You chuckle and just like Cherrywood, give Eris a proud grin
“Of course not! We worked pretty hard on fixing this thing! You see Eris, since the rotor and propellers were busted; we had to come up with the proper materials to solve this problem. So taking into account that the crystals magic can be used as a source to generate electricity, I had to come up with a formula to standardize the…”
>”Anon…” Cherrywood places her right front hoof on your mouth, preventing you from giving your awesome speech about the technicalities on the drone repairs “Do you know what kind of surprise my dumb teacher had for us today? A test! And I hate surprise tests! And this one lasted THE. WHOLE. DAY! So please, please pleaaaaaase, could you please skip all of your science mumbo-jumbo and go straight to the cool parts?”
>Eris starts laughing at you, nudging her right elbow on Cherrywood’s left side ”Seems like the dudette can read minds too! And I like that!”
“Mhmhmhmm!”
>Cherrywood angrily shakes her head and pushes her hoof even harder “No! Nopony wants to hear what kind of math you used, so you better not be a dummy and start saying that stuff, because I swear by my collection of hydra action figures that if I hear another math related thingy, my head will go boom! And if that happens, then I’m coming back as the spookiest ghost that has ever non-lived and then I will haunt you forever and ever! And trust me, I know about being spooky!”
>You let out a growl but agree reluctantly
“Mhmmmhmmhmm!”
>”Yay!” Cherrywood removes her hoof from your mouth and gives you a tight hug “Thank you, Annony!”
>You drop your head in defeat and sigh
“Fiiiine, I’ll give ya the lame explanation then!”
>You climb on your chair and you start explaining to Eris what changes you and Cherrywood made to the drone, in the simplest terms that you can come up with.
“As I said, the propellers of this particular drone were broken beyond repair, and we actually didn’t have any spare parts that we could use. But then Cherrywood came up with the idea of “borrowing” a bunch of blades from the Royal Guard, and lo and behold! They actually worked perfectly! That gave us our set of perfectly working propellers that looks super awesome”
>Eris places her paw on her lips and tries to give her opinion ”Wait, lemme get this straight-“ but is quickly interrupted by your little bat
>”Oh! Oh! But that’s not it!” Cherrywood hops on the chair, then to the table and finally hangs upside down on the ceiling “Annony then found out that the thing which makes the Night Crawler fly was junk, and since he’s like, super-hyper smart, he used a bunch of weird math to invent a new thing to fly! And he used a bunch of crystals to do that!”
>Well, Eris had noticed how excited the two of you were about this drone deal, but she tried to calm you down …”That’s great, buuuuut-“ … only to be interrupted again, this time by you.
“But then Cherrywood noticed that some parts of the drone were in terrible shape, as in, they was completely corroded and the plastic was burned out, and to fix that big, big problem, my awesome girldfriend came with the brilliant idea of “borrowing” unused armors from pegasi royal guards, and again, they worked perfectly! Sturdy, resistant and aerodynamic! Aaaand as you can see, it looks rad as heck!”
>Eris traces a circle with her paw, making a gigantic slushy to materialize. She then proceeds to take a sip of it and replies with a bored voice ”Aaaah, I see…”
>”Oh, Oh! But then my Anonny switched that weird camera that the Night Crawler had, because it was also a piece of junk! But it wasn’t another camera!” Cherrywood drops from the ceiling and flies to Eris’ eye level “Noooo! He switched it for a… a…” your bat turns to you and asks you with a nervous voice “What was the name of the thing that you… ehhh…. Well, you know…”
>You let out a chuckle and hop off from your chair
“It’s called sonar, the lab actually had some of those lying around, and they were actually pretty easy to adapt to the Night Crawler’s structure. Then once our awesome drone was ready to fly, we decided to make something cool with that and now we had the first fruit of our hard work ….”
>You walk to where the super computers were, and using your magic you turn them on, then you open a file named “Mapping_1_a.prtx”
“Check this out! It’s a 3D map of the Canterlot’s mines! It was created by… err… you know, I won’t explain the math behind it, I’ll just say that we flew the drone through this place and used the sonar to map these creepy caves.”
>”Coooooool!” Cherrywood dashed to your side, her eyes were beaming with happiness at the sight of your incomplete model “Hey, Sister Eris! Have you seen something this awesome?! Just imagine if we could do the same with an Ursa Major cave or a Hydra nest! Kekeke~! I bet that we could get som reaaaallly cool maps! Don’t you think that would be awesome Sis…uuuh… Sister Eris?”
>You and Cherrywood get surprised and slightly offended by the fact that Eris was sleeping like a newborn baby, so of course you and your bat decided to have your little revenge…
>By making Cherrywood to screech on her ear with a super loud and super high pitched “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
>Which of course, wakes up Eris immediately, startled and flailing her arms  ”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” aaaand, she falls on her butt on the ground “Ugh! What the hay was that!”
>Cherrywood hovers above Eris, looking at the draconequus with a stern look “You fell asleep during our mega cool tale! That was rude! And mean! And I showed you what rude meanies get in our workshop!”
>”I wasn’t asleep, I was just… ugh… whatever… “ Eris teleports to one of your chairs and waves her paw dismissively “Sooooo….lemme ask you a question my dear best friend…”
>”Uh?” That answer took Cherrywood by surprise, but nonetheless, she agrees to that “I-I mean… Yeah, sure… whatever” your bat looks away and tries to look uninterested.
>”D’awwww, you are trying to act cool like me! That is adorableeeee!” Eris gets up from the chair and starts flying in circles above Cherrywood “And I can see that you two make an awesome pair, working together and all that, a real show of friendship, I’ll give ya two that, buuuuut….”
>Eris stops her spinning, leaving herself in an upside position, holding her knees with her upper limbs. Eris then lowers her head and leans closer to your bat, speaking in a sultry voice “I can’t stop wondering if that dork is just as good as a coltfriend as he’s as a friend, if ya know what I mean…”
>”I…well… what?!” Cherrywood flies back, looking at Eris with caution
“Oh come on, mate! Could you please drop that already? I mean-“
>”Ah, Ah, Ah! Remember the first ruuuleee!” Eris traces a circle with her paw, making a plushy snake to materialize out of thin air and before you could do anything, the snake wraps around your mouth, preventing you from speak a single word.
>”H-Hey!” Cherrywood tries to come to your aid, but is quickly stopped by Eris, who gently raises your bat head so they could look at each other’s eyes
>”Now, now… no need to get worried about the dork, I just made sure that he doesn’t interrupt our ladies’ talk, and c’mon…” Eris shrugs and gently caress Cherrywood’s chin “Even you get tired from his constant gibberish from time to time, and don’t try to deny it because that’s exactly what you did a few moments ago…”
>”Well…” Cherrywood looks away from Eris in shame “I-I didn’t mean to-“
>”Nah, nah, naaaah! Don’t feel bad about that! That little attitude of yours is what makes you sooooo rad!” Eris traces another circle with her paw, making a leather jacket with the initials C.B. to appear on your bat along with a pair of shades to go along with it “And besides, it’s not like what I’m about to tell you ask you is a bad thing…”
>”It’s… not?” Cherrywood tilts her head in confusion, but then she shakes her head and removes the shades “You better be telling me the truth, ya hear me! Because if you don’t, then I will make you fear my hoovesies!”
>Eris’ face was completely frozen in ice “Now that’s what I call cool! But my question is a little more…warm” The ice that covered her face starts to melt, creating a small check board that is grabbed by Eris in a very stylish fashion before it falls to the ground.
>”And the best part it’s that those are my favorite type of questions!” An explosion of confetti suddenly materializes behind Eris who extended her arms in excitement “Just answer me this… Have you and the dork ever been out in a date?”
>”Errr… kinda?” Cherrywood shrugs “Does eating together at the guard barracks counts?”
>Eris looks at Cherrywood with a stoic look and very slowly blinks before writing something on her check board “No… no, it doesn’t count…man, this is worse than I thought… but lucky for you, Sister Eris will help you guys to fix that!”
>Eris puts her talon on her hips, gives Cherrywood and you a sultry look an traces a circle with paw, teleporting you…. to the top of a medium sized cloud
>“W-What?! Where are we?!” your bat asks in utter confusion
“Beats me, but I remember that Eris brought me to a similar place like this when… HEY! That pesky snake is gone! Yo, Cherrywood I can speak aga- WHOAH!
>Your bat…. Cherrywood… oh dear, your heart skipped a beat when you saw her. She was wearing a cute, cream colored solero, her short and messy mane was now rocking a super cute pony tail with a big summer hat… she was beautiful to say the least.
>”Huh? What happened, Anonny? You just went… H-Holy crackers!” Your bat takes notice of her attire and freaks out a bit W-Where did this come from?! And Anonny, you… you…ahhm… errr…” Cherrywood’s face becomes red as a tomato, hear breathing heavy and her eyes bright as a stary night sky when she looked at you
>You do your best effort to take your eyes out of Cherrywood to look at yourself and… well, you were looking nice! A super classy suit was the outfit that you were wearing, and judging for your bat… your beautiful, beautiful bat’s expression… it seems that you weren’t alone on that opinion.
>”Hmmh hmmm! Doctor Eris is super happy to see that her favorite dorks actually have that spark, that flame that fuels- Hey! Are you listening to me?!” Of course that you weren’t, Cherrywood and you were so into the each other that it was impossible to pay attention to anything else.
>That is, until a gigantic bucket of water appeared above you and your bat and dropped it’s content on the two of you.
>”HEY!” You and Cherrywood protest in unison
>But, that cheap trick actually worked, Eris got your complete attention “Oh, puh-lease!” The draconequus waves her talons in a dismissive manner “If I hadn’t done anything the two of you would have kept staring at each other for like a thousand years, but now that I have your attention, let’s go to the spicy part, tee-hee!”
 >Now that you pay closer attention to her, Eris was wearing a sexy doctor outfit; her mane style also consisted of simple pony tail that complimented perfectly those provocative glasses.
>And unlike you and Cherrywood, Eris was comfortable resting on a big comfy chair behind a desk, also made up of little clouds, a bunch of photos of terrorized ponies and fake diplomas wrote with crayons were floating behind her.
>You narrow your eyes at Eris and take a step forward
“Eris! You better tell us wha-“
>Eris interrupts you with an annoyed tone and by making “her paw talk” as in, her voice was actually coming from her paw ”Blah, blah, blah! Ooooooh! Eris, why are you doing this! Ooooooh! Eris, whyyyyy! Sheesh! Don’t you get tired of always asking the same things and getting angry for nothing?! For shame dork, for shame…Besides, you already know why we are here”
>”Uhhhm…” Cherrywood shrugs “so you can do your weirdo stuff?”
>”Exactly! Wait…” Eris rubs her chin and then growls “Ugh… whatever… You two are going on a date and... ugh… you know what? This is the stuff that needs a more practical approach instead of just boring exposition soooooooo let’s begin!”
>Eris traces another circle teleporting you and Cherrywood to the entrance of a fancy restaurant titled “Canterlot’s pride” and needless to say, she was nowhere to be seen.
>You sigh and drop your head in frustration
“Okay… now what?”
>A small card appears in front of you and slaps you in the face before staying static in midair.
“Agh! You could just have said something to…uhhh…”
>You lean forward to inspect the card that read as follows: “YOU ENTER THE RESTAURANT! AND YOU BETTER BE ROMANTIC!”
>”Well… what do you say Annony? I think that this might be fun, I mean, we have never had one of those thingies and….” Cherrywood gives you a look, making her face go red “I-I’m kinda curious…”
>You took another glance at Cherrywood… again, you were out of breath, she was simply beautiful… all right… you did want to have that date now
“Sure, but uhhh… do you really want to go in there? My mom always tells me that these places can kill ponies by how boring they are and they are filled with incredibly arrogant and elitist ponies, buuuut on the other hoof…”
>You shrug
“Maybe we can have some fun together”
>”Yaaaay for dates! KeKeKe~! I’m sure this is gonna be super-duper fun!” Cherrywood grabs your hoof and together enter the fancy place.
