Planet of the Apps

[vortex swirling]

Twilight Sparkle: [screaming]

Rainbow Dash: [screaming, groans] Where are we?

[techno music]

Twilight Sparkle: I don't think we're in Ponyville anymore. [yelps]

Fluttershy: Oh, okay. Take me to your leader! [grunting]

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy?!

Fluttershy: [grunting]

[whoosh]

Rainbow Dash: [gasps]

Twilight Sparkle: Wait! If we're gonna rescue Fluttershy, we have to be strategic.

Rainbow Dash: But did you see that robot mind control helmet?! They're trying to make her into one of them!

Twilight Sparkle: All the more reason to have a plan. I think if we—

[beeping]

Pulverizer and Natalie: two more unidentified ponies located. commencing.

Twilight Sparkle: [whimpers]

[zip!]

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash: [scream, pant, yelp]

Rainbow Dash: Not one step closer, you big metallic monsters!

Pulverizer: monsters?

Pulverizer and Natalie: [laugh robotically]

Natalie: we are mecha-ponies, not monsters. i am a mobile atlas protection sentinel. but you can call me natalie.

Pulverizer: and i'm the pulverizer! warning – i'm a hug machine.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm Twilight Sparkle. And she's Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash: [grumbles]

Natalie: we did not mean to alarm you. we wanted to help.

Rainbow Dash: Like how those other mecha-ponies "helped" our friend by pony-napping her?!

Pulverizer: oh, nanos. a mecha-pony would never.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh. We must've been mistaken. Maybe one of you could help clear things up by taking us to Fluttershy?

Natalie: scanning for fluttershy. fluttershy found. location – sucrose quadrant.

Rainbow Dash: I'll believe it when I see her.

Pulverizer: deception is not in our ponygramming. we will show you.

Natalie: turn left on saccharine street.

Rainbow Dash: Twilight, this is so obviously a trick. Look at them. They're big, shiny, metal, robo-pony-bots who—

Twilight Sparkle: Who are actually pretty friendly. Let's give them a chance. We need to find Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: Help!

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash: [gasp]

Fluttershy: Help! I'm stuck!

[zip!]

[beeping]

[error sound]

Twilight Sparkle: It's locked!

Rainbow Dash: I'll fly up and see if I can spot another way in!

[whooshing]

Twilight Sparkle: Hmm. This shape looks familiar.

[beep]

[whirring]

Twilight Sparkle: Whoa! [yelling]

Rainbow Dash: Twilight!

Twilight Sparkle: [yelps]

[clunk!]

Rainbow Dash: [yells, groans]

[whirring]

Rainbow Dash: [yelps]

[clunk!]

Rainbow Dash: I knew it! This is a trap!

Pulverizer: oh, sorry. some mecha-pony must have tripped on the circuit.

[click]

Rainbow Dash: Wait. This is Sugarcube Corner.

Pulverizer: we know it as sucrose quadrant. owned and operated by q-t-pie.

Q-T-Pie: [giggling]

Rainbow Dash: "Sucrose"? "Sugarcube"? Wow! Whoa! It's almost the same on the inside!

Fluttershy: Oh, help! Help!

Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy! I'm coming!

[whoosh]

Rainbow Dash: Oof! [groans] Oh, no! I'm too late! They've made you into their mecha-pony queen!

Fluttershy: Rainbow Dash! Did you come to play, too? This V.R. game feels so real.

Rainbow Dash: You mean you haven't been assimilated yet? What about their leader?

Fluttershy: The leaderboard for this game is great. I bet you could get first place like Twilight did.

Twilight Sparkle: [eating noisily] Oh, there you are! These computer chip cookies are so good! [eating noisily]

Rainbow Dash: So you weren't pony-napped?

Twilight Sparkle: [laughs] Uh-uh.

Fluttershy: [giggles]

Rainbow Dash: Oops.

Rainbow Dash: I'm sorry I was so quick to judge you based off the way you look. Just because a mecha-pony is scary on the outside doesn't mean you're scary on the inside.

Natalie: affirmative. friends?

Rainbow Dash: [groaning] Ugh! [strained] Yup. A real hug machine.

Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy: [laugh]

Pulverizer: great. now that we are all friends...

[zip!]

Pulverizer: ...let us play this new game.

Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash: [gasp]

Pulverizer: the ts-83.

Twilight Sparkle: [hushed] It's my calculator. I think we need it to get back home. But they think it's a game. What are we gonna do?

Rainbow Dash: Don't worry. I have a plan. Sorry, Pulverizer. That's not a game. It's Twilight's calculator.

Twilight Sparkle: [giggles nervously]

Rainbow Dash: Do you think we could have it back?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh!

Rainbow Dash: That's right. My plan was just to ask.

Twilight Sparkle: Brilliant move. Looks like our next one should be to head home.

[click]

[zapping sounds]

[vortex swirling]

Rainbow Dash: Thank you. I hope we see you again one day in the future.

Twilight Sparkle: Bye!

Fluttershy: Bye-bye!

Pulverizer and Natalie: [laugh robotically]

[zip!]

[vortex swirling]

Pulverizer and Natalie: [laugh robotically] you'll be back. [laugh robotically]

Back to the Present

Pinkie Pie: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah! [giggling and whooping] This is just like my favorite ride at the Ponyville Fair – the Terrorizer!

Rarity: This is messing up my mane! And I don't care!

Applejack: [whooping]

Twilight Sparkle: Yippee! [giggles]

Fluttershy: [giggles]

Rainbow Dash: Faster!

Pinkie Pie: Isn't this fun?

Mane Six: [yelling]

Mane Six: [grunting, groan]

Fluttershy: [sighs] We're finally home.

[squirrel chitters angrily]

[zip!]

[alarm clock rings]

Pinkie Pie: My hoofness! We're eleven minutes late to open the shop!

[zip!]

[keys jingling]

Pinkie Pie: Nope. Uh, nope. Nope. Did the portal warp all my keys? Can somepony go around back and check the gate?

Twilight Sparkle: Hey, wait a minute. What is this?

Pinkie Pie: Salad Bowl Junction? What happened to Sugarcube Corner? It's a healthy food restaurant now? They... [gasps] ...don't even have dessert options?!

Rest of Mane Six: [gasp]

[pop!]

[poof!]

Pinkie Pie: Something fishy is going on. We'd better do some investi—

Rarity: Yes?

Pinkie Pie: ...-gating.

Reuse Pony: Yeah, no, I heard you. I just don't think the deal is worth signing. Sure, the perks are nice, but—

[beep]

Reuse Pony: Oh. Hang on, I gotta split. I got another call.

[beep]

Reuse Pony: Dolores! My dear, it's been ages! How are Enid and Josiah holding up?

Mane Six: [laugh]

Twilight Sparkle: He's as batty as a cave! [laughs, sighs]

[ponies chattering]

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, things are not normal here.

[music]

Mane Six: [gasp]

Applejack: Huh?

Mane Six and Alternate Six: Huh?

Rainbow Dash: [stammering]

[whoosh]

Rainbow Dash: Hmm...

Mane Six: [gasp, scream]

[boom!]

[cool music]

Lightning Chill: Welcome to Salad Bowl Junction.

[squirrel chitters]

Lightning Chill: What can I get tossin' for ya? Our salad special today is called "Sprout, Sprout, Let It All Out".

[squirrel belches]

Pinkie Pie: Ugh! This is my shop! We sell cupcakes!

Lightning Chill: Uh, no, cupcake. This here is my shop. And we sell salads.

Rest of Mane Six: [gasp]

Lightning Chill: [laughs] I'm just kidding.

Mane Six: Huh?

Lightning Chill: Chill, chill. I'm sorry. You ponies looked so mad. Please sit down. Zen out.

Rainbow Dash: Okay, we don't know what you're talking about. We want answers!

Rest of Mane Six: Yeah!

[thunder]

Lightning Chill: I'm Lightning Chill. And these are my friends Echo... (Echo) ...and Sugar Snap. We have all kinds of answers.

Rarity: Goodness. Look at your style. Aren't you three just a walk on the wild side?

Lightning Chill: Are we wild? So I've seen wilder. So what's goin' on? What can we do you for?

Echo: Tell us everything, and maybe we can help. We're helpers!

Pinkie Pie: Okay, well, you might want to sit down. It's a looooong story. It all started when I was...

[fast-forwarding]

Pinkie Pie: [panting]

Lightning Chill: Well, that was quite a pony tale. If you're looking for a portal, we'll help you look. But first, you gotta try one of our salads.

Mane Six: Uh...

Fluttershy: [chomps] Mmm. This is actually pretty good.

Twilight Sparkle: [munching] Try some, Pinkie.

Pinkie Pie: I can't! It's just too salad-y! Ugh!

Rest of Mane Six: Huh?

Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie, that's your mixing bowl!

Echo: It wants you to try the salad! ...I think.

Pinkie Pie: [whimpers] Ahhhh... [gasps] I can't believe it. It's... delicious!

Mane Six: [gasp]

[vortex swirling]

Mane Six: [yelling]

Mane Six: [yelling] Ugh!

Twilight Sparkle: Hey! We're home! I think.

[door opens]

Reuse Pony: Okay. [laughs]

Mane Six: [cheer]

[vortex swirling]

Mane Six: Huh?

[cool music]

Lightning Chill: Whoa. I guess the portal wanted us to take a walk... on the mild side.

Mane Six and Wild Siders: [laugh]

Pinkie Pie: Come on! Salad cupcakes for everypony!
