Applejack blows out the candle next to her bed as she settles in for the night. It was a long day bucking apples and she knows she'll be getting a good night's sleep.
Meanwhile, several kilometers above Sweet Apple Acres, a shuttle descends to the peaceful farm house. It was quiet enough to not disturb the Apple family.
Back in Applejack's room, a low hum interrupts her sleep. "What the?" She asks herself. She finds herself to be covered from head to hoof in a light blue aura.
The next thing she knew she was teleported to another area. It definitely was not anywhere near Sweet Apple Acres. Not only was she taken, but Big Macintosh and Apple Bloom were in the same room. "What the hay!" She yells out, looking around and sees what might be their abductors.
Applejack and her siblings stand in a triangle, facing the abductors. "AJ...?" Her sister asks with a tremble in her voice. The abductors are slender, bipedal with bluish gray skin, long, angular faces, no mouths and deep green eyes.
"We'll be alright, right Mac?" AJ said, hoping her brother will play along to help calm Apple Bloom.
"Yup." He responded.
The strange looking aliens pause and look at each other. They nod before raising their right hands in front of them, which had some kind of jewel embedded in it. The Apple siblings were rendered unconscious.
AJ awoke to find herself and her siblings in another room where they were restrained. One of the aliens approaches and looks at the monitoring device next to the orange mare. "What in tarnation do ya think yer doin'?" She futilely asks. The alien kept going about its business. She looks over to see Mac awake, but Apple Bloom was still under. "You alright, brother?" She asks. Mac nods.
"Yup." She smiles.
"Good. If they hurt any one of us, Ah won't be responsible for mah actions." She says.
Apple Bloom finally wakes up with a groan. "AJ... what's goin' on?" She asks with retained fear. "Ah have no idea, but so far we're all still in one piece."
Moments later, three more of the aliens enter the room and toward the tables the three ponies were laying on. Apple Bloom let out a quiet whimper as the three were leaving the room and began freaking out more as she realized they were splitting up. "AJ!" She yells.
"Be strong, Apple Bloom!" Her sister yells out. "We'll find ya!"
