Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
Mulia Mild stuck her head out, glanced left and right, then finally shuffled into the street. She motioned with her hoof, and soon three other figures were scurrying out after her. The tell-tale signs of a panicked stampede marred the already ruined alleyways looming beneath the surface of the floating city. Aside from a few rats and other vermin, the streets were completely vacant.
"Something scared everyone away," Gustave stammered, blinking nervously.
"Jee, I wonder who did that," Donut Joe wheezed. "Rainbow, are you certain this is the best way to go about this?"
"We can't stay here forever," Rainbow muttered, emerging from the side of the nightclub. "We've shaken the hornet's nest. For all we know, a whole gang of nasty creeps will be rushing in with three times the horsepower to beat our skulls in."
"You know, for the 'Blue Jay,' you're really yellow," Donut Joe said.
"Oh hush." Rainbow spun around. "Coast's clear, Stu. Come on out."
SMASSSSSSSSH! The side of the building collapsed as the "Red Rook" stormed through on steaming limbs. STOMP STOMP STOMP!
Mulia winced, looking every which way. "Must you bring that thing?! Really?!"
"Well, I c-couldn't just leave it inside!" Stu exclaimed above the noise of his clattering limbs. "Those creeps might turn it into a super weapon! Besides, I've already lost my wings! Why give up this too?!"
"We've all lost something, Stu," Rainbow droned.
"Yeah!" Donut Joe's bare brow furrowed. "Join the friggin' club!"
"But I don't get it!" Stu twirled around, thudding. "What kind of ponies would steal away what makes us all unique and special?" As he gestured, he accidentally knocked over an aluminum shed, sending dust and sparks flying everywhere. THUD!
Mulia sighed. "The same kind of ponies who would rather see non-ponies reduced to history's ashes." She turned and blanched at Rainbow Dash. "They were going to gut me full of knives! I look terrible in knives! They don't match my skin!"
"Well, I still have my amazing wings and plumage!" Gustave Le Grande said.
"Yeah," Donut Joe muttered. "Just not your wits."
"Hornless toad—!"
"Enough!" Rainbow Dash snarled. "Everypony, knock it off!" She frowned, staring at the group. "Look, we found each other, and—believe it or not—that's a super good thing! We pierced through to this dream and then we ended up separated in a dangling city full of super creep ponies but—guess what?! We found each other against all odds! You wanna know why?! Because pieces of Applejack's subconscious lent us all a hoof, otherwise Stu would be drowning in his own steam and Mulia and Mr. Pelican over there would living pincushions. And don't get me started on Donut Joe tasting the filth off a barroom floor!"
Donut Joe hung his head. "...would be fine with just a touch of glaze—"
"NO! It wouldn't be fine! And, what's more, we owe it all to Applejack for being in one piece! Now it's time that we saved her and got her out of here!"
"But how can we do that?!" Mulia exclaimed. "This dream world is obviously hostile to us now! Serenity Shindig—or the Queen—or whoever has her locked away someplace!"
"I want to save Applejack as much as you, Rainbow Dash," Stu said. "But you've seen how risky this place is! Somehow we've gotta come up with a way to infiltrate Serenity's headquarters, grab this 'Cider Princess,' and make it out of the dream before Philanthropy consumes all of us!"
"I know," Rainbow muttered. "The Coronation is the day after tomorrow."
"What happens then?" Gustave asked.
Rainbow gulped. "I don't know. But, where Applejack is concerned, it can't be good."
"Well, we ain't doing much by just standing out here and gabbing about it!" Donut Joe grumbled. "We've got the Blue Jay and the Red Rook with us!"
"Er... yeah?" Stu arched an eyebrow. "And?"
"So, ain't you guys got a hideout or something where we can lay low and plan for flank kicking?"
"Joe, dude, we all just got here!" Rainbow exclaimed. "I'm no more the real Blue Jay than you are Prince Blueblood!"
Donut blinked. "Who?"
"I agree with the donut maker!" Gustave exclaimed. "A roost of our own would be magnifique!"
FLASH! Epcot materialized behind the griffon, nuzzling his feathers. "Heeheee! Well, I think I may have seen a place along my way here!"
"For real, Epcot?" Rainbow exclaimed.
"Mmmmhmmm!" Epcot nuzzled the griffon. "Hehe! Donald ain't got nothing on you, fluffikins!"
"Ehhh... who is the crazy horse lady with the glittering hair?"
"Just roll with it," Rainbow Dash muttered. "Dreams ain't gonna make themselves come true."

Uhhh… as in Donald Duck?
5701129 Probably.
Remember, she's named EPCOT. If that ain't a shout-out to Mr. Disney and his company (and especially Walt Disney World (which, by an odd coincidence, is in Florida)), I'll eat AJ's Stetson!
AJ: Hey! Ohhhh, no, you won't, gal! Go eat that straw one you have in your room upstairs, and leave mine a-lone!!!"
Me: Eep!
Okay, okay! Geez-Louise, AJ, it was just an expression!
It'd be awesome if this followed the arc of bioshock infinite, I also think infinite is a great thing to base this arc off of, since you know, the infinite universes thing kinda feels like cider space. Also I'm on my phone again, so I have an excuse for my typos Sharp Quill!
5701555 Except Bioshock Infinite didn't end in cuddles. It also didn't have steampunk pixies.
Speaking of which, I would pay gold to have fanart of Epcot. Someone make this happen!
You mean it isn't already?
5701903 if draw it if I had a Good imagination, unfortunately I've always been bad at drawing anything without a reference.
I'm wondering where the pony supremacy came from, if Shindig was considering a mule and a griffin for as 'heirs' why would Philanthropy be like this? I'm wondering if maybe, while a part of AJ is helping, another is dealing with 'those dang foreigners' trying to take her prize.
Or it could be Shindig giving the projections a logical reason to attack two of the known interlopers, since she doesn't know Dash, Stu or Epcot.
5701903
Well I meant this specific arc, not the whole story, but yeah, Infinite definitely didn't end in cuddles! Haha.
5701228
Not to mention 'If you can dream it, you can do it' and several other refs.
5701129
I was hoping Darkwing Duck. This is fine.
5702067 True, true.
5701555 I'll cut you some slack—this time—since you gave my story a fav.
Yeah, I'm that easily bribed.
(And I need to get the next chapter done for tomorrow. It's a very important chapter. It even includes a platypus!)
Guscot OTP.
5702060 Still, i wouldn't wish Bioshock Infinite's ending on anyone. "Hi. you're trapped in an infinite time loop in a quantum destabilization at the veritable crossroads of the multiverse, and your daughter has gained sudden omniscience. She then proceeds to tell you that you will become a fanatical dictator when you get old, and will bring about an end of days scenario on the world. The only way to stop it? Let multiple copies of her DROWN YOU IN A LAKE!"
But yeah, aside from that, it was an awesome story. Still wanna know what happened to the girl from Bioshock Two though. And Dr. Tannenbaum. (Most unoriginal name for most interesting character)
5703326 yeah it's a damn good story, very possibly one of my favorite stories ever, and my second favorite game , beaten only by Fallout 3. So whats funny is, I was scrolling through the chapters before I read this story, and I saw, "Will the Cider be Unbroken?" And I immediately knew I had no choice but to read this story haha.
5703359 That's actually one of my favorite in game scenes, when you step out of the rocket chair, run around a bit, and hear a choir start singing "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" It's an outstanding addition to the setting, and an interesting break from the previous games theme of "No God No Master."
So you watched the newest trailer for MLP season 5?
I can't tell if she's being serious or sardonic here, and I don't know which would be more funny either
I squinted at that word for a few seconds.
I haven't the faintest glimmer whom you're talking about.
