Quirks:
Apple Byte was originally created as a science project for Applebloom and Sweetie Belle for the upcoming science fair. His main reason of creation was to be a fully functional free-roaming cider serving robot for foals at special events and parties, so refilling glasses could be easier and mess free. Obsessed with the idea of winning, and loathing the thought of losing, both of the girls had their own ideas on how to make their already great invention even greater. One night, just after the lights in the Apple Family house were turned out, Sweetie Belle snuck into the barn where the robot she and Applebloom had been building was being stored until the fair. Sweetie pulled the tarp off the robot, trotted back to the barn door to make sure no pony was coming out to check the animals, then trotted back and bulled off her saddle bag. Once her saddle bag was opened, she levitated out a small scroll she had stolen from Twilight’s castle library earlier that morning when her sister had gone in to discuss a Friendship Problem. She studied the spell, focused hard, and cast it. Wiping the sweat off her horn her took a deep breath, kissed the robot on the forehead, and turned to leave.
A few hours after, a light had came on in a window of the Apple Family house to reveal an awake and muck covered Applebloom. She had been mixing ingredients in a large pot on the stove, but why? It was nearly 3am! Applebloom hurried to the shelves, then to the pantry, then back to counter, then to the fridge, then to the closet, then back to the counter once more, carefully reading a hoof written scroll on the dim candle light. Once she read the steps she was currently on, she began tossing ingredients into the pot one by one, stirring quickly in between. Once the mixture was all mixed together, Applebloom poured the concoction into a beaker and ran outside, making sure to quietly close the door behind her so she wouldn’t alarm anypony that was sleeping in her home. She trotted to the barn, beaker in mouth. Once inside, she closed the door, and pulled the tarp off the robot and smiled, she was actually very proud of her hoofy work, but regardless of how pretty he looked and great he already worked, she did NOT want to lose. She pulled the cork off the top of the beaker and began pouring it over the robot. Once the liquid was emptied from it’s glass casing, Applebloom returned the cork back to the top of the beaker and turned to walk out, but before leaving she hugged the robot and kissed it’s cheek. Standing back up to leave, she whispered “A-Ah’m sorry bud, ya were perfect already.. but.. A-Ah… Ah just don’t wanna lose again… y’know? Anyway, Ah’ll be back in the mornin’ ta check on ya. G’night Apple of Mah Ahye.”
The next morning, the girls had met up in the tree house and raced to the barn to see the robot, not knowing about the other’s adventures in the night. When they got to the barn, they were… greeted? The little robot colt approached the two girls and hugged them both.

???: “Mothers! You have returned! I’m so excited to be of service for you today Mothers! What shall we do today?!”
Applebloom looked at Sweetie Belle with a look of shock and disbelief, and Sweetie Belle gave her the same look.
Sweetie Belle: “What did you DO Applebloom?!”
Applebloom: “Me?! Ah didn’t do an apple pickin’ thing! What did YOU do Sweetie Belle?!”
Sweetie Belle: “Tst- I- Uh- ME?! I-… Well… I may have casted a small spell on him… b-but it was only because I didn’t wanna lose!”
Applebloom: “Ah don’t care how bad ya wanted ta win! We’re a team! Teams are SUPPOSED ta discuss stuff before we do it! Especially if it is as dangerous as castin’ a darn spell! What in the hay were you THINKING?!”
Sweetie Belle looked down, ashamed of what she did, even if she did want to win, using magic was not the way, and Twilight had taught her better. She looked at the ground to sigh but noticed something green and gooey on the robot’s ear. She poked it with her hoof and grimaced.
Sweetie Belle: “You got SOME nerve Applebloom!”
Applebloom: “What? What are ya talkin’ about?!”
Sweetie Belle: “You used a potion on the robot, didn’t you?!”
Applebloom: “What?! No ah didn’t!”
Sweetie Belle: “Then explain THIS! It’s GOO Applebloom! GREEN goo! EVERY time you make home made potions that Zecora taught you they ALWAYS turn green from your aura, REMEMBER?! Honestly Applebloom I’m not stupid!”
Applebloom: Sigh. “You’re right Sweetie Belle, A-Ah’m sorry… Ah just wanna win so darn bad this year…”
Sweetie Belle approached Applebloom and placed a hoof on her shoulder.
Sweetie Belle: “I know darling, I know. I do too… but now… I guess we have a finished A+ worthy science experiment… and a son.”
Applebloom: “Yeah… Ah guess so… Well, might as well name ‘im before I break the news to AJ and the others, same for you and Rarity and your folks.”
Sweetie Belle: “Oh yeah… forgot about that part… well maybe if we name him Rarity my sister won’t be as mad at me!”
Applebloom groaned and rolled her eyes.
Applebloom: “Trust me Sweetie… ONE Rarity is enough in Equestria, we don’t need TWO of them.”
They both shared a laugh and watched as their new robot son attempted to bite onto an apple for the first time.
Applebloom: “Haha, hey little Apple, watcha doin’ over there?”
???: “Apple and voice socket connection does not compute Mother! Help?”
Applebloom laughed and showed him how to properly bite onto the apple.
Sweetie Belle: “Hey! That’s it! Apple Bite! But the ‘I’ is a ‘Y’ because he’s got computer parts and stuff in him!”
Applebloom smiled and hugged her new son.
Applebloom: “Ah think that’s a perfect name for ‘im.”
Sweetie Belle: “Good! Then it’s settled! Our son’s name is Apple Byte! Y’know, I’ve always wanted to be a mom!”
Applebloom slouched on her haunches in annoyance and sighed.
Applebloom: “….”
Sweetie Belle: “… What?”
Applebloom: “… We’re only 15 Sweetie Belle….”
