While the five were making it back to the Jupiter, they encountered some buffalo-like creatures.
"Adler, do you know what those are?" Maureen asked the man.
"Haven't come across them before."
"I thought you said you had seen everything this planet has to offer." Ben scoffed while Will and (y/n) lightly chuckled. "Well, we can't ride through them. We're gonna have to ride around."
Maureen got off her horse as the other three followed. Letting robot to have the opportunity to pet Gypsy. Will saw this and giggled. "Hey. That's pretty good. Here, let me get something for you." Will went over to his bag and grabbed a container full of apples, pulling one out and putting it in robots hand.
Robot only tilted his confusion. "Here, spread out your fingers and give it to her." Robot did as (y/n) said, spreading out his fingers and giving it to Gypsy. The horse happily munched on the apple, seemingly making robot happy as he lightly punched Will and made a grabbing motion.
The two kids laughed. "That's enough for now, you don't want to overfeed him." The robot understood and continued to pet Gypsy.
Seeing as the robot was distracted, (y/n) lightly nudged Will. "Pass me some of the apples Will, we might as well feed the rest of the horses."
"Good idea, I'll help too." The two went to the other horses and began to feed them as well, not noticing that robot was destroying the bit until Will turned around.
"What are you doing?!"
"Friend."
Will sighed. "Look, I know you think you're helping him but he needs his bit. He doesn't know any better, without it he'd just wander off."
"Hey," Maureen said, before looking down at the melted metal. "What happened to the horse's bridle?"
"It was the robot." (y/n) hesitantly spoke.
"What? Why would it do that?"
"He just doesn't understand." Will excused.
"Okay, Will, (y/n). I think a lot of people wouldn't understand."
"You ready to go." Ben asked the three from behind them.
"Yeah," Maureen answered, tying the horse's bit. "You're gonna have to neck rein, and mind your seat, you won't have his mouth. He'll be harder to control."
Will nodded.
The four got on their horses and set their course to go around the animals. The mother-son duo were up ahead while Ben and (y/n) stayed behind to discuss a few things.
