"How much longer do we have to walk?" Smokescreen asked Rarity. He had only been in Equestria for about an hour and a half, and he had spent most of it walking.
"We haven't been walking that long, Smokey dear. Laziness is not a good look on you?" Rarity asked. Surely a giant robot couldn't already be tired.
"I'm not lazy, I'm just not used to walking for this long. If we're gonna travel for this long, we Autobots usually change into vehicle mode." Smokescreen answered. He just realized that he could've transformed into a car at any time, when Rarity started speaking.
"We're here. Twilight's house is right in front of us." Rarity said, as she motioned towards the large tree that was the library.
"Well I guess I don't have to walk anymore. How exactly did you say your friend can help us?" Smokescreen asked.
"She's a very powerful unicorn. She could probably use a spell to find your friends." Rarity answered.
Suddenly, the two heard panic coming from Twilight's house. Smokescreen looked at Rarity quizzically.
"You sure your friend can help us? No offense, but it seems like she might have a glitch." Smokescreen said, trying not to insult Rarity's friend.
"Nonsense. Twilight Sparkle may, at times, overreact a little, but she does not have a 'glitch'." Rarity said, defending her friends reputation.
"Sorry. I didn't mean it like that. Why don't we see if we can help?" Smokescreen asked.
The 'Bot and the pony walked towards Twilight's door, but before they could knock, the door flew open.
Twilight was so focused on finding Pinkie Pie that she didn't even notice the giant robot behind Rarity.
"Rarity, have you seen Pinkie? I haven't seen her anywhere and we made plans today. You know it's not like her to show up late, and I'm afraid she might have been foalnapped." Twilight said, still worried.
Rarity looked at her friend. She new Twilight could take things out of proportion, but It was unlike Pinkie to be late. She decided she should ask if Twilight could find Smokescreen's friends, so they could assist in the search for Pinkie.
"Well, I haven't seen Pinkie either, but if we help my new friend find his friends, than they could help us search." Rarity said, trying to calm Twilight down.
"New Friend?" Twilight asked, confused.
Rarity moved out of the way, and gestured towards the blue and white 'Bot. "This is Smokescreen. He's absolutely marvelous. He helped me finish designing a dress, and he could help us search for Pinkie.
Twilight stared, wide-eyed at Smokescreen, and then let out a loud scream, followed immediately by her plummeting to the ground.
"Wake up, Twilight." Rarity said.
Twilight opened her eyes. Once again she saw a robot, towering over her, standing behind her friend.
"Rarity, what... who is that?" Twilight asked. Her library seemed to have a book for everything, but nothing prepared her for this.
"I told you Twilight, this is Smokescreen. Don't let his size fool you, he's a proper gentlecolt." Rarity said, trying to reassure Twilight that the 'Bot was on their side.
"Um, yeah. Listen I'm an Autobot. We're the good guys. It's the Decepticons you need to worry about." Smokescreen said, letting the purple pony know he wasn't a threat.
"Auto-whats? Decepti-whos?" Twilight asked confused.
"Listen, I'm an Autobot. Those are the good guys," he said pointing to the Autobot insignia on his chest, "Decepticons are the bad guys. If you see somebody with a purple symbol on their chest, then avoid them."
"Smokescreen, I'm sorry I freaked out like that. I shouldn't judge somepony by how they look. And I'll help you find your friends, but only if you help me find Pinkie Pie." Twilight said, realizing that she had nothing to fear.
"You got yourself a deal." Smokescreen said, looking at Twilight. "Do you know how to find my friends?"
"Yeah, I'll just need to cast the spell on you, that way if there's anypony out here like you, it'll lead us right to her." Twilight said, now confident.
Twilight began concentrating, and her horn began to glow. Suddenly, Smokescreen started glowing, too. Twilight looked at Smokescreen, and said "That way," pointing her hoof in the direction of Sugarcube Corner.
