Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could, but she could still see the yellow and black sports car behind her. 'This 'Bot is fast,' she thought to herself. Bumblebee sped up, and soon he was right at Rainbow's side. The 'Bot let out a few beeps, and kept driving.
"Bumblebee says 'Eat my dust.'" Raf said to the cyan pony.
"Ha. In his dreams, maybe. I'm not even going at half my full speed. I just wanted to give you guys a chance at winning." Rainbow Dash responded confidently.
"You're kidding." Raf responded.
"Nope. I told you I'm the fastest flyer in all of Equestria. I've performed three Sonic Rainbooms."
"Sonic Rain-whats?" Raf asked, confused.
The 'Bot and the pony were still side by side. Rainbow Dash loved bragging, but she wouldn't have time to, if she beat them in ten seconds flat.
"A Sonic Rainboom is an amazing, daring, near-impossible feat that only a few ponies have ever achieved." Rainbow said, grinning. She could have finished this race minutes ago, but it was fun talking to the pair. Suddenly Bumblebee let out a few more beeps. Raf nodded in agreement.
"Well, you've explained the rarity of the stunt, but you haven't told us what it is." Raf said, translating for Bumblebee.
"Stunt? Stunt! The Sonic Rainboom is more than that. It's on its own level of awesomeness. It's about 20% cooler than any other 'stunt'." Rainbow said, a bit insulted at the term used to describe her achievement.
"Okay, but what is it?!" Raf asked again.
"It's hard to describe. Why don't I just show you?" Rainbow said, cockily.
The rainbow-maned pony then sped up considerably. Bumblebee stopped driving, and Raf stared in awe. Rainbow Dash broke the sound barrier, and created a magnificent rainbow with one motion. Bee then drove up to Rainbow, to tell her how impressed he was. The scout beeped some more, and, after Raf exited his interior, he transformed back into robot mode.
"What did I tell ya? I guess we know who's faster now." Rainbow bragged.
The three companions looked around. They were on a large farm. Rainbow immediately recognized it as the home of her friend Applejack, as well as the place where the best cider ever came from. Raf and Bumblebee had no idea where they were, though.
"Yeah. That really did live up to the hype you gave it." Raf said, emphatically. "One question though. Where are we?"
"Sweet Apple Acres. It's where my friend Applejack lives." Rainbow replied.
"Where exactly is your friend?" Raf asked, wondering about it himself.
"Good question. It's not like her to leave the farm for no reason, especially during apple bucking season." Rainbow said, curious.
She walked up to the door and knocked. She heard a few crashes inside and thought 'what, is Derpy in there?' After a few seconds an elderly pony with a cutie mark of an apple pie, came out.
"Hey, Granny Smith do you know where Applejack is by any chance?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Granny Smith looked behind the Wonderbolt hopeful, and saw the 'Bot and the boy. "Well, I saw her go off with some strange lookin' fellas. They looked like those two, behind you." Granny finished as she pointed a hoof at the pair behind Rainbow Dash.
"Did she tell you where she was going?" Rainbow asked.
"Um... yeah." Granny said.
"Really, where?" Rainbow inquired, throwing her hooves in the air.
"I forgot." Granny said.
Rainbow's jaw dropped. She was used to Granny Smith's forgetfulness, but come on. If she had seen her granddaughter leave with to extremely strange looking thing like she said she had, then how could she forget what Applejack said.
"Is there anyone else who might remember?" Rainbow asked, trying to hide her annoyance.
"Well, Big Macintosh was there." Granny said. She turned around and yelled, "Big Macintosh come out here. I need your help remembering something." Suddenly, a large red stallion, with a blonde mane and a half apple cutie mark, came out. "Big Macintosh, where did your sister say she was goin'?" The stallion whispered something in Granny Smith's ear. "Oh she went to your house." Granny replied.
"You sure?" Rainbow asked looking at Big Macintosh.
"Yup," the stallion replied.
"Oh, well, bye." Rainbow said.
Granny Smith nodded and said, "Bye deary." Then the old mare closed the door. Rainbow Dash walked towards the two off-worlders.
"She was headed towards my house, but AJ probably left to find me." Rainbow informed the two.
"Well, she probably headed for whoever could best track you." Raf offered.
"Well, if you wanna find anypony, your best bet is asking Twilight. Well, unless that pony is Rarity, then you call Spike." Rainbow said. She chuckled a bit at her own joke, but stopped when she realized Raf and Bee didn't get it.
"Where would we find her?" Raf asked.
"Twilight lives in the library, so that's where anypony would check first." Rainbow said, pointing her hoof in the direction of the library.
"Then I guess we know where we're going." Raf said. Bumblebee transformed back into a car, and Raf climbed inside. Rainbow Dash flew by their side, and they headed to the gifted unicorns home.
