As they trot around town Applejack points various points if interest in the small town like the newly set up stage the local watermill and the local farm.

Whilst they were already heading to the local merchant Derpy heard a strange sound.
"Do you hear that?" She asked AJ.

"Oh it's just a bunch o travelling bards." She replied.

"Ooh let's go see" Derpy said gesturing to the stage.

"You go on ahead I'll go to check on the twins. See ya!" She said trotting over to the merchants home and store.

As Derpy approaches the stage she sees two distinctly familiar mares on stage, one with a cello and the other with an unusual type of phonograph.

The cheering was loud at one point and silent as the other made begun playing the mellifluous tune of her large cello that seems unusual as the bow she held was glinting in the moonlight.

As their act ends they exclaim
"Thank you Dodge Junction this has been Octavia and Vinyl" they said in unison as if it had Ben practiced before.

Derpy gasps in surprise as she sees her friends from home in this unusual world where everything is the same yet all different at the same town, she has to find the doctor to get back home, but first she has to talk to somepony.

She then trots to the store to which she sees Applejack bickering with a pair of light brown stallions who seem to be twins, obvious due to their similar coat hat and peppermint colored manes.

"Oh general what are you doing here we were already finished for inspection" said the one with the mustache " but if you are here for a few of our choice items we could give them to you at a certain price hmm" the one on the left said smirking.

"What do ya mean general?" Asked Aaplejack bewildered and confused at their familiarity.

"Uhhh... I don't know what they're talking about" Derpy replied confused as well.

"Why don't be so modest here stands the greatest general of the Imperial  army, General Derpy Hooves." The twins said in unison.
