Jack and Arcee sped out of the opening in the space bridge. They had landed in the middle of an apple orchard, and in the distance they could see a barn.

"I don't mean any disrespect to Optimus, but what are we doing in what I can only assume is Kansas?" Jack asked, with just a hint of sarcasm.

Arcee looked at the small screen on her arm. It showed five glowing red dots, surrounded by tons of smaller blue dots. In bold green letters were the words: ENERGON LEVEL 2.7%. "Jack, we're not even on Earth."

"How do you know?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"The energon levels are much lower than Earth. But on the bright side, we're not alone."

"What do you mean?" Jack asked, a little worried.

"I'm picking up five Autobot life signatures counting my own."

Jack looked down. A terrible feeling came over him. "But that would mean..."

"Someone didn't make it," Arcee finished.

"What about humans?" Jack asked.

"Impossible to tell. My scanners are picking up tons of organic life."

"So that means this planet is inhabited?"

"Hey who are you, and what're y'all doin' in Sweet Apple Acres," asked a voice from behind.

The duo turned around, astonished to see what appeared to be an orange pony in a straw hat. On her flank was an image of three apples. She was looking at the pair accusingly.

Jack looked at Arcee. "Did that pony just talk?" he asked.

Arcee didn't respond, she was too freaked out to do anything.

"What're you lookin' so amazed for, ain't ya ever seen somepony talk?" the pony asked, a little frustrated.

"NO!" Jack said. He backed away, a little bit shaken up.

"Now hold on just a minute, you ain't from around here are you?" the pony asked, pointing a hoof at the two strangers.

"What was your first clue?" Arcee asked, sarcastically.

"Hey, you don't have to be so rude about it. Anyway, welcome to Ponyville. My name's Applejack. And you are?" said the orange pony.

"Jack."

"Arcee."

"Now, why are y'all so funny lookin'?" Applejack asked.

"Us? You're a talking pony." Jack said.

Before the pony and boy could continue their argument, Arcee interjected "I hate to break up this lively conversation, but I have some questions. Where are we? Where is everyone else? How can we find our friends?"

"You're in Sweet Apple Acres, in Ponyville. And everypony's watchin' Rainbow Dash."

"Who?" asked Jack.

"My friend, she calls herself 'the best flyer in Equestria'. Anyway, everypony's in town watchin' her. Something about her racing a bee."

Arcee and Jack both looked at each other. "Bumblebee!" they said in unison.
