Spike: Uh, Twilight? Where's your castle?

Twilight: The map pulled us back, but whatever Starlight did in the past changed things here!

Spike: But why? And how did we get here? Where's here?

Twilight: More like when.

Saten: (annoyed) Please Twilight, that's such a douche time-traveler thing to say.

Twilight: Whatever.. Point is, Starlight altered Star Swirl's spell, then somehow used it on the map to travel into the past and change something!

Saten: It's obvious what it i-

Twilight: Saten, please.. Anyway. Once she did, the map pulled us back to the present!

Spike: So we're back where— I mean, when we started?

(Saten is heard groaning)

Twilight: Not exactly. Everything's different. Look. The map doesn't even make sense anymore! The Crystal Empire takes up half of Equestria!

Spike: Plus there's the whole missing castle thing.

Twilight: Right! This is too big to handle on our own.

Spike: You think?

Twilight: We need to find our friends and get help!

Spike: I'm gettin' a bad feeling about this, Twilight.

Twilight: I know, Spike, but this is Ponyville. How bad could things be?

Spike: Is that Sugarcube Corner?

Twilight: I don't understand.

Spike: [gasps] (runs to Rarity's house, knocking on her door) RARITY!?

Twilight: I don't think she's here, Spike. I'm not sure anything we know is the same. But I know one place that could never change!

SKIPS TO APPLEJACK'S FARM:

Twilight: Applejack?!

Applejack: What can I do for you?

Twilight: It's so good to see you! We couldn't find Pinkie or Rarity or Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash, but I just knew you'd still be here!

Applejack: Of course I am. This is my home. But who in tarnation is Pinkie Bow and Flutterdash? Or you for that matter?

Twilight: You... don't know who I am?

Saten: Coarse she dosen't dummy.. Starlight changed so you don't know each other.

Twilight: ... I don't follow.

Saten: (sighs in annoyance) Coarse you don't.

Applejack: Honestly, the only name I recognize is Rarity, but she left for Manehattan years ago.

Spike: (excited) Probably to become a world-famous fashion designer, I bet.

Applejack: Not that I know of. Last I heard, she went to help with the cause like everypony else.

Twilight: The cause?

Applejack: The war against King Sombra and the Crystal Empire?

Twilight, Saten and Spike: What?!

Applejack: Where have you three been?

Spike: Actually, it's whe-

Saten: (angrily) Don't say it!
