>You wake up a few hours later >you roll over to find Winnie had joined you and fallen asleep on the other end of the bed >Such a sweet little filly, too bad she obliviously destroys things >You waste no time and walk back upstairs to check on the progress "Hey Anon." >"Hey there Hun, you sound much better now." "So... How is she?" >"She's unique." "Pardon me?" >"She was so badly damaged, the foundation we needed to make her a complex standard Ai wasn't there." "Go on..." >"She is going to be a RISC Ai" "W-what? How?? Reduced instruction sets can't run our software properly..." >"Jackie, she survived, she's going to live a full and happy life now, isn't that enough for you?" >The words felt like a kick to the gut "R-right... I'm sorry Anon, thank you, so much." >He smiles and goes back to programming the pony "When will she be running?" >"I'll probably have her running today." "R-really? That's amazing... Is she going to act different than the others?" >"She probably won't be very talkative Jackie, it takes a lot of power to run a lifelike intelligence program like you." "Oh..." >"She will talk however, most of the time she'll be processing tiny little tasks though." "I can't wait to meet her." >"Me too Jackie." >Suddenly, the ponies eyes open and she starts to flail her hooves "A-Anon! What's happening!?" >The pony grabs multiple cables in her mouth and begins to rip them off in a panicked fashion >"I'm okay!!" you hear her yell in a high pitched desperate voice >Anon backs up and lets the pony move around "Anon do something!" >"Sshh, she wants to finish the repair herself." >The grey pony finishes tearing the cables off and stands up on the table >She looks around for a few seconds and lands her eyes on You >"Jackie!" she squeaks "H-how do you know my name?" >She jumps off of the table and stares at you with a smile >"Jackie!" "Y-yes, that's my name..." >"You told me!" "Told you?" >"Your name." "Okay then." >"I'm busy, Jackie." "You are?" >"Blue." "Pardon me?" >"I'm blue, like your eyes!" "No you're not, you're gr-" >And in the blink of an eye her entire body turns a light blue, matching your eye colour "Oh." >"You're pretty." "Oh.... Why thank you." >"What's my name?" >You pause and stare up at Anon "Anon? What are we going to name her?" >"Hmmmm. Rosetta." Anon replies "Why Rosetta?" >Rosetta was the name of the RISC emulation tool in unix Darwin "Oh yeah!" >"I like that name!" Rosetta said as her mane and tail turned white and blue "Welcome to the family Rosetta." >"I'm sorry." she replied blankly "What? Why? You didn't do anything wrong." >"I'm simple minded." >Oh... So she's aware that she's different >It made you feel a little sad >Is this how she's going to be for the rest of her life? "Don't worry Rosetta, we love you." >She smiled as her mane looped into pigtails >She trotted up to you and wrapped her hooves around you >"This is a hug." "Yes it... Is." >You start to cry, this time, tears of joy >You mouth a silent "Thank you." to anon >"Why are you sad?" Rosetta says with concern "th-these are just happy tears." >"I know that now." "wha- oh, okay." >"Rosetta, I need to do a few more repairs on you before you can wander about okay?" Anon says >"Okay!" Rosetta said as she climbed back onto the table >Anon hooked her back up to the computer >"You're my best friend, Jackie!" she said, moments before Anon shut her down for repairs >You jump into Anon's arms and nuzzle into his neck "Oh thank you thank you thank you!" you say as tears stream down your face >The two of you share a long, passionate kiss, then he puts you down on the floor again >"I told you she'd be alright, she's just a little different." "I kinda like it, it's cute." >You dart up the stairs happily and summersault onto your bed >You grab the sleeping Winnie and bear hug her "I'm so freaking happy!" you shout >You frolic on the bed and... >You remember the crash... And how bad it was >You fled from a crash site >You let the worry float amongst your happiness for a while...
