As Miko sat in Bulkhead's interior, she thought about the her time in Jasper. She was from Tokyo, and entered a foreign exchange program. Her first few weeks were more boring than being at home, but then, her, Jack, and Raf had been recruited by the Autobots. They had been through a lot of battles, but now they were hiding. Miko couldn't stand it. Miko was still going through the space bridge; she hadn't even reached her destination, but she was already dreading every minute she would eventually spend in whatever place she was sent. She just wanted to crush some 'Cons. Was that too much to ask?
"Bulk, do you know where Optimus is sending us?" Miko asked.
"I didn't look at the scanner, you know, with the explosions and all." Bulkhead answered, sarcastically.
"I thought Arcee was the sarcastic one." Miko said, jokingly.
"Listen, wherever Prime sent us, we're gonna be fine." Bulkhead reassured her.
"I'm not worried about being fine, I'm worried about action!" Miko said, excitedly.
The duo exited the space bridge portal. Miko climbed out of Bulkhead's seat and started to look around.
"See, this was exactly what I was afraid of. Optimus sent us to some quiet, peaceful little town." Miko said, frustrated.
"Look, Miko, it's probably best we lay low for a while. You know, fly under the 'Cons' radar." Bulkhead answered.
Miko looked around the small town. No one seemed to be around.
"Bulk, you don't have to stay an SUV; no one's around." Miko said, looking back at Bulkhead.
"You never know, someone could be looking out their window." Bulkhead said.
Miko started walking around, looking to see if there were any open houses. She came across a bakery, with an "open" sign on it. She knocked on the door.
"Miko, what are you doing? Are you trying to blow our cover?" Bulkhead asked.
"It's a bakery, and I'm hungry. I wanted to know if they're giving free samples." Miko explained.
Before either of the two could say another word, the door to the bakery opened. Standing in front of Miko was a pink pony, with the image of balloons and confetti on her flank. Miko looked down at the pony, and than back at Bulkhead.
"Wow, whoever lives here has really weird taste in pets."
The pony looked at Miko, and then started talking rapidly, "Gummi's not a weird pet. If you want to see a weird pet, then go to Twilight. She has a pet owl. AN OWL! I'm Pinkie Pie. What's your name? I haven't seen you before. Are you new? Oh, of course you're new, because I know everypony, but I don't know you, so you must be new."
Miko once again looked back at Bulkhead. "Did that pony just talk?" she asked.
"I think so." Bulkhead answered.
"Well of course I can talk." said Pinkie Pie. "Why wouldn't I be? I'm not a baby. In fact I love to talk. I can talk about parties, or cake, oh and I love to talk with my friends. Some ponies say I talk too much, but I think I talk just enough. You still haven't told me your name. What is it is it Nancy? Marie? Susan? Ja-"
"It's Miko." Miko interrupted.
"Well Miko, where are you from? Cloudsdale? Fillydelphia? Manehattan?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"I'm from Tokyo, Japan. Hey, you know if I can get any free samples at the bakery?" Miko asked.
"Well the Cakes sometimes give you a free cupcake if it's your birthday. Ooh is it your birthday?" Pinkie Pie asked, excitedly.
"No. Could you tell me where I am?" Miko said.
"You're in Ponyville!" Pinkie said.
"Ponyville? You mean every pony here can talk?" Miko asked.
"Well of course. Why wouldn't they?" Pinkie asked.
"Because where I come from ponies don't talk." Miko responded. She looked at Bulkhead. "Look, Bulk, we seriously need to get out of here. I mean, no action is one thing, but a planet of talking ponies? We have to go."
Bulkhead transformed into his robot mode and walked towards Miko. "There really isn't any way for us to leave Miko. Besides, these ponies look kind of cute." Bulkhead said.
"Cute? Cute?! Are you going soft on me, Bulk." Miko said, staring Bulkhead down.
"Ooh, I have a great idea. Why don't I take you to the Library! Twilight could use her magic to get you home. Plus I could introduce you to the rest of my friends." Pinkie said, jumping up and down.
"You mean you could get me to a less girly place than this? Sure, why not?." Miko said. "Bulk transform back into a SUV so we can go."
"But I just started stretching my legs." Bulkhead said.
"Fine we'll walk. Lead the way Pinkie." Miko said, as they started walking.
