There Were Aliens In Equestria?

Unlike the bright neon lighted casinos all over the city, no restaurants open for business so early in morning. The five had their breakfast at Sugarcube Corner. The Cakes had started building chain stores. They hired a yellow-maned mare named Surprise to manage the bakery in Las Pegasus. "That pony is eerily familiar." thought Dashie.

The sun rose and its soft light fell on the dusty ground. Rainbow held a map in her hooves as her wings took the role of moving her forward. She turned the map around, desperately trying to make sense of all the arrows and lines that dotted the piece of paper. Awww forget this! she thought as she put the map back in her saddlebag and took out her pPhone. She tried to access Giggle Maps but there was no ponynet connection. "Come on Rainbow Dash! This is a *DESERT*. There isn't any connection here!" said that little voice in her head.

Dashie looked at the surrounding environment. It's still morning and the desert heat wasn't too bad yet. She thought again about the Wonderbolts chances of survival. It was not the happiest thought you could have. "No time to lose! Let's get out there and rescue those ponies!" An encouraging thought had entered Dashie's mind at last.

"I still don't see them! I'm tired." said Colgate.

"You're not the only one." thought Rainbow.

"Wait, sorry Rainbow Dash but have you thought this over? We've been walking along this road for the past 2 hours. I don't think the Wonderbolts are on this road. Shouldn't we be like, searching for a safe place where the Wonderbolts are able to survive in? Like, an oasis?" pointed out Lyra.

Damn! She's right! Why am I so stupid?! Ugh.

"Damn! She's right! Why was I so stupid to not think of something like that?" said Doctor Whooves.

"T-that's a good idea, Lyra!" said Rainbow quickly as she desperately attempts to save herself from embarrassment, shame, humiliation, mortification, wounded pride, etcetera, etcetera...

Lyra shot the rainbow-maned pegasus a look but Dash ignored it as if she were too awesome for shame.

With her glorious eyes, the Glorious Rainbow Dash watched out for signs of her target's survival. Her glorious brain scanned the information perceived by her glorious eyes. And when she had gloriously obtained what she gloriously wanted, she would have a glorious feast! Together with her allies who assisted in her glorious achievement, in the glorious dining hall within her Glorious Levitating Cloud Castle of Glory! She... couldn't find any trace of her heroes.

There wasn't very much in the desert. A few plants here and there and some rocky cliffs. Some holes in the ground indicated the presence of Diamond Dogs. This desert is not exactly the best vacation spot. Well, its also not the most ideal place to be lost in and waiting to be found without any food or water or any form of defense. Nor is it especially great to be the one doing the finding even with food and water and some form of defense. (Lyra and Colgate are unicorns with magic, Doctor Whooves is a time traveller, Dashie is the fastest flier in Ponyville and Derpy... has muffins? Doesn't that make them so non-vulnerable-to-hostile-beings-of-evil-intent?)
