Wheatley was having nightmares, nightmares of what happened to him while connected to Aperture's mainframe. He pretty much got mind controlled into doing things that he didn't want to do, for example, instead of letting Chell go free he nearly killed her by sending her into the bowels of Aperture. He remembered the sickening feeling that he got when he wasn't testing something. But most of all, he remembered horrifying feeling of impending doom as Chell got closer and closer to his lair, his growing worry and finally the feeling of a crushing defeat, via space portals. "SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Wheatley's snapped open as the deafening voice murdered his eardrums.

"God! If you were going to wake me up like that you may as well have stuck a cattle prod in my ear!" Wheatley groaned, flopping lazily out of his bed. He looked up to see a smirking rainbow maned mare and a smiling Space Core. "You will pay for that." Wheatley threatened, making Rainbow laugh.

"Yeah, i'm sure I will moron!" she replied. Wheatley's eyes narrowed and his expression turned from grumpy to rage. He stood up and shoved the Space Core aside as he walked towards Rainbowdash.

"I AM NOT A MORON!" he yelled at her. He looked like he was about to turn her to dust when Rick came to her rescue.

"Whoa, Wheatley calm down!" he said, knowing what had just occurred. Wheatley's expression then changed from one of rage to one of worry.

"Oh god, what did I do? Did I hurt anyone?" he asked, looking around.

"You didn't break anything, or hurt anyone important." Rick replied, making Rainbow point down at the dazed Space Core.

"Yeah, he's still smiling see? He's perfectly fine." Rick said, then he leaned in closer to Rainbow. "Whatever you do, never, ever, call him a moron." he whispered to her, and she nodded.

"I'm fine Wheatley, I just wanted to let him wake you up to tell you that we are heading out to Ponyville now." Rainbow said to Wheatley.

"Ponyville? That name is kinda corny don't you think?" Wheatley replied.

"I know right!" Rick agreed.

"Come on, lets stop insulting the naming of her town and just go." Wheatley said, walking for the door. "I am going to say its.." Wheatley turned away from the dead end hall he just walked down. "this way!" he said, walking right into another dead end. Wheatley sighed in defeat. "Can you show me the way Rainbowdash?"

"Sure." she said through her laughing.

GLaDOS looked at the monitor showing the tracking droid she sent out. "Where is that fat little orphan?" she said to herself. It had been two days since she sent out the small tracking robot to find Chell. Why? To send her to find Wheatley of course, she had a change of heart. Now she wanted Chell dead, but she also wanted to have a 'talk' with Wheatley, so she was going to send Chell into space like she did with Wheatley to try and get her to find him. If Chell failed Glad0s would use robots, so she was pretty much killing two birds with one stone! She was pulled away from her thoughts as the monitor flashed red, signaling that the robot found it's target. The screen displayed Chell being dragged through a grassy field, back towards Aperture.

"And lastly this is my house, it is also the library!" Twilight said proudly, frowning when she saw that Wheatley and Rick weren't paying attention to her, but were eyeing Sugarcube Corner. "AHEM!" she 'cleared her throat' rather loudly to get their attention. "Can you tell me what this building is?" she asked them.

"A tree?" Wheatley guessed.

"A tree...House?" Rick guessed, and Twilight face-hoofed while the rest of them laughed.

"Well they are technically right darling." Rarity said, wiping a tear from her eye. Wheatley leaned over to Rick.

"Whats so funny?" he whispered.

"No clue, just laugh." Rick replied, and the two started laughing, making the rest of the group look at them.

"You have no idea why we were laughing do you?" Rainbow deadpanned, and Wheatley and Rick shook their heads. "Oh well. Are you guys going to get jobs?" Twilight shot her a glare when she said this.

"Rainbow! They can get jobs when they are settled in, its not like you don't have bits to spare!" Twilight said.

"Actually, I think finding a job will be fun! Do you have anything in engineering?" Wheatley asked.

"Ya mean buildin?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah, sure." Wheatley said, sounding very unsure.

"Well ma barn seems ta git knocked down every few days, so I guess ya could rebuild that when it needs ta be done." Applejack said.

"And.. Um, I could use some help gathering things from the Everfree Forest If its alright with you." Fluttershy said.

"Sure!" Rick said. "What could be so bad about a forest?" he said, making a couple of girls shiver.

"Well sugarcube, the clouds move on their own in there. And the animals don't need to be takin care of." Applejack said with a shudder.

"Isn't that how everything works?" Rick asked, getting confused looks from all of the girls.

"Is that how it works on Earth?" Twilight asked, and the Cores nodded. (The Space Core only nodding because the others did it.)

"Fact: I could be a librarian if you need one." said the Fact Core.

"And we can all pitch in and get the Space Core some cash." Rick said, making Twilight smile slightly. They seemed to be becoming friends faster than she ever expected.
