A strange feeling waved over Ponyville, and all of the residents seemed on edge but they all when on as normal, and for Dinky Hooves that meant helping her step-Dad around his Watch-shop. The teenage filly was the second child of Derpy Hooves, and didn`t know her father, her older sister had moved to Canterlot and her mother was on a business trip leaving on her and her Step-Dad.

Doctor Whooves, was strange by anyponies standers, able to speak any language he found, and knowing science far beyond any leading scientist. Well it wasn`t his fault. He was created by this world magic and it effect on time and space.

Twin heart bets echoed through his veins, as he smiled "So Dinky, what do want to do?" he said placing a finished clock on his work bench. The unicorn smile "Well we could work on that box of yours, I mean it all we ever seem to do" He smiled and shook his head "No were not going to work on my 'box' as you call it, find that thing you so lovingly call a pet and lets go somewhere!" he said dancing around the table.

A robotic whirr came from behind him "My I come, master?" the small terrier shaped robot asked, with big letter saying 'K-9' on the side. The Doctor smile "Of course K-9" he said patting the dog between it radar light ears.

Dinky looked around for her project, when she was younger she wanted a cat, so she asked her mother for Hearts Warming Eve for a cat when she was ten, apparently her Dad decided to make one inside of by one. The result was a miracle of modern science and one of the best show and tells for school ever! C.O.P (Computer Operated Pet) or Copper to most people was a pleasure to be around the only problem was it was incredibly silly at some point.

"Wee" shouted the metal cat, and jumped down onto Dinky`s back "Where are we going?" he asked Dinky shrugged. Both of them look extensively at the brown stallion in a tie.

"I don`t know, but that what makes going out exciting! Come on. Allons-y!" he said trotting out the door, with K-9 behind him followed closely by with Dinky and Copper following them.

They`d had a good day out and where returning home before anything strange happened, like one of the stories he told her when she was little. Like meeting a race of reptiles that used to rule the earth. Entering the shop something was ringing, looking around Dinky was confused.

"What is that?" her step Dad just walked towards the box, a large blue box with large white letters running around it top saying 'Police Public Call Box' he was muttering something about "It not even connected"

He`s blue eyes looked at Dinky for a moment, the confusion on his face seem extraordinary confused, he opened the small latch with all the 'legal stuff' written over the front, it was the only white panel covering the blue box, opening it the ringing came from the strange device in the centre of the smaller box, picking it up with a hoof he lifted it to his ear, and spoke "Hello?" a muffled sound came from the odd device, like it was speaking directly into his ear.

"What?" more muffled voice. "Really, that's not good, I`ll be over a quick as I can" he placed the strange device back into the smaller white box and looked at Dinky. He`s face seem concurred.

"Who and what was that?" asked Dinky pointing at the device, he looked at her then smiled, his big cheeky grin going ear to ear "That was Princess Celestia apparently wants my help, and that 'thing' is a phone, a way of communicating instantly between ponies" Dinky just gave him a stare.

He sighed slightly "What are you not believing now?" "How do you know Princess Celestia?" he smiled, and opened the box`s door "I finally got my box working"

Dinky looked inside the box "It`s bigger on the inside?"

Circuit vison came back online, he warbled slightly rubbing his head. The clang of metal hoof meeting metal skull ran out in the room. Looking around he found he wasn`t where he shut down, but in some kind of barn, with large patches of dull unpolished steel welded to his body, he must have had some serious scratches due to the 'bug ponies' he fought.

Standing up he looked around, his pistons hissing slightly, he tried to speak "He-he-e-ll-ll-o" Still broken, the old wooden barn had windows and a large door, it was like a barn in an old Hollywood movie, big and red. He marched to the door way.

Applebloom was about to go back in to see if Circuit had woken up, he`s large scratches had been attended to, but parts of him had been completely blown off, like half of his body panelling, he head was still intact through, and she dear fiddle with his circuits, she just welded what she could to him and hoped it would work, and the galvanized steel needed to be polished but she was starving, dragging him from the clubhouse had been exhorting. Her and Granny were the only ones in as Applejack and her friends had gone to tend the fields, they were really keen on helping like they were scared to be Ponyville. Even Rarity was helping something was up.

The sound of pistons echoed from the barn "The things up" commented Granny "Granny! He`s are friends, he`s gotta name to, remember!" the old mare snorted "Yeah but ah don`t like it. A solider in ah barn made of metal. I remember when t`dat would be impossible"

Applebloom crossed to the door, "Remember Granny, his from space" and left the old mare on the rocking chair "Arg foowe!" she would have spoken more but it was time for her mind day nap.

Applebloom walked out the door and found Circuit looking at the barn curiously. "Hey Circuit, you Ok?" she asked, he nodded, pistons hissing. The stayed silent for a moment, Applebloom broke the silence "Why did you save me?" Circuit through. He wrote in the sand with his tail.

'Because I could'

Applebloom rolled her eyes "I through you were broken! Not some sort of hero saving everything ya`h could?" she just got a glare from Cyber-Pony

'I saved you because I am broken if I wasn`t I would kill you because of the first directive'

Applebloom took a step back slightly "Well lucky me then, Ah don`t think ah like the idea of being dead" the cyber shook his head

"You are compatible. You will be Upgraded." He said from his mouth glowing blue, she gulped "Is dat what happen to ya`h?" he nodded slowly. She placed a hoof on the shoulder of the Cyber-Pony "Don`t worry ah won`t judge ya`h"

Then voice echoed from the orchard, both of them looked as The Council of Friendship emerged with baskets of apple on their backs, all of them looked at the large Cyber-Pony he was on par with the size of Big Mac, he`s red eyes blinked slightly.

"Bloom, what he doing here?!"

Applebloom gulped know there would have to be some explaining done. Circuit looked around, he warbled something.

And all of the friends looked at the Cyber-Pony for a moment looked in complete confusion.
