"Well then, where will we spend the night?" Questioned Twilight.

"Certainly that's more important. I'm not going to sleep on the ground where it's dirty," said Rarity.

"I don't care where I sleep, I just wanna sleep!" exclaimed Applejack.

"Applejack, if you were a pegasus like me, you'd know that I can sleep on the clouds. I don't see any clouds, where are they?" questioned Rainbow Dash.

"Obviously it's a clear night, and by how warm it is it might be either spring or summer," said Twilight.

"Say Twilight, do you know what were those things," Said Spike.

"Yeah, Twilight, they sounded like robots or something to me!" Exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

"I honestly don't know. They could be robots, but they had emotions, so they could be something else. They could also be just ponies in machines," Twilight responded to both of their questions.

"Twilight, you know ponies don't make those things. They might be evil, they might not even be ponies! They can be monster like creatures looking for us so they can eat us!"

"Rainbow Dash, if creatures or aliens are smart enough to make those things, I doubt they waste an alien by eating it. They would most likely study it."

"For crying out loud!" Exclaimed Spike. "I just want to go to sleep! Lets get this over with already!"

"Spikes right Rainbow Dash, we need to sleep, we can talk about this later," said Rarity.

Twilight and the rest of her friends start to sleep through the night on the ground, which is very uncomfortable. Twilight worries in her sleep that they might be found, especially in their sleep. She probably knows they will, but they're safe for now.

It is now morning, and it would be a day since they went to this strange world they have never been to before. One by one, they ponies wake up as they start their exploration around the place.

"Where do we go?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Maybe where those black paths can lead us to wherever they'll take us! Maybe to where they are, waiting to give us a party!" exclaimed Pinkie.

"I don't think so Pinkie. These black paths are what these creatures or whatever are traversing on. It's like a pathway to go to other places." Twilight explained.

"Well, why not go to that place over there where they came from?" questioned Pinkie.

"Are you crazy? If they see us, we'll get captured, and they going to do some things I don't want to know, but we will go over there, but not too close, just close enough so we can observe what they are doing, maybe learn something from them." Twilight said as she walks on the side of the road towards the place. "Come on girls, follow me."

"What the hay are we going to learn from these things anyway?" questioned Rainbow.

"Maybe something we don't have in Equestria, like I don't know, something new." replied Twilight.

"Even Twilight doesn't know what exactly something new we can discover." muttered Rainbow.

"I heard that!" replied Twilight.

Twilight and her friends walk towards the direction where the creatures came from the night before. They look around the countryside looking at the landscape and the occasional old, worn apart home. At the far distance, is a wooden fort, suspecting to be the place where the creatures reside. Rarity walks over to a old house, badly worn and torn apart with mold growing on the stairs leading to the entrance of the house.

"My, these homes look dreadful! It's like nopony is living in them at all!" exclaimed rarity as she inspects the outside of the house.

"That's because nopony is even living in them! Why would somepony just pack up and leave their home?" questioned Twilight.

"Maybe because living in the middle of nowhere isn't the best place to live" said Rainbow.

"Says the pony who lives in a small town like Ponyville." replied Applejack.

"Middle of nowhere, Applejack, not in a tiny town. Huge difference." Rainbow replied back.

"Girls stop arguing. Well I guess we found a place to sleep in when it get's dark." said Twilight.

"Well, it doesn't look comfortable. Doesn't it have any beds inside?" asked Rainbow.

"Nothing is in here at all! There's no beds or furniture, or anything! It's just some icky old junk, and lots of dirt and dust!" replied Rarity.

"See, what did I told you, they moved to somewhere else. The middle of nowhere isn't the best place to live!" said Rainbow.

"Well if there's nothing, we could sleep on the floor rather than the ground like last time, or we can go to another house and hope there is a bed or something we can comfortably sleep on." suggested Twilight.

"We choose second option" everypony else said. They did not want to sleep uncomfortably on the ground or on the floor.

"Alright, lets find another house." Twilight said as she lead the ponies outside to find the next house they can find.

As they walk on the road, Pinkie senses something. "My knees are pinchy! That means something scary is about happen!"

"Pinkie, what can possibly be scar-" Twilight said before she was interrupted by a voice.

"Stay where you are! Do not move!" said a voice that came from right behind them.

"Do not move! Do not attempt to escape or face the consequences!" said another voice.

The ponies turn around in fear as they finally see the creatures in broad daylight. Of course, they were in machines, almost looking completely mechanical. Everypony shrank their eyes except Rainbow Dash, who was in a defensive position. They stare as they see the creatures came right towards them, when they got close, they stopped and stared. One of them said in a confused tone.

"What the heck? They looked bigger where they were a few meters away!" said one of the creatures.

"They're quite tall for a pony to be inside. They're not ponies." muttered Twilight.

"THEY CAN TALK!" yelled the creature that's inside the machine.

"Eeyup, not ponies." Applejack whispered to Twilight.

Author's Note

I'm sorry for taking so long to make this chapter. Sometimes, high school can be a pain in the flank, but I kind of do learn more about story writing and grammar in English class, which is good. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter!
