Soon after barely escaping death's grasp, Samus arrived back to the Biology & Zoology Research Lab safely. Upon arrival, she told a few of the scientists of her experience.

"Sounds like the machine was rigged to me, like some kind of death trap," said one of the scientists. She stood out among the rest of the scientists, as she wore a black coat with black-tinted glasses.

"Who are you?" asked Samus. The woman looked out of place there.

"Who, me?" the woman asked, seemingly faking ignorance.

"Yeah. I haven't seen you before, and you dress...differently from most scientists I've seen," Samus replied. This woman did not give her good vibes at all.

"Heh. I'm just a new recruit here, you could say. You can call me...Lyrid," she answered with a disturbing grin before she walked away.

Samus stood there for a few moments, thinking about Lyrid. None of the scientists there really had technological experience, and a death trap was a very odd assumption to come to when it very well could of have been a machine malfunction.

Her thoughts were disturbed by another scientist.

"Well, Samus," he started, "we have learned little about these new creatures we have discovered, besides the fact they are indeed ponies and a dragon.. They show up as originating from Equestria, and we can't find any matches within millions of light years. We'll keep up the search, but for now we can do nothing. We suggest you bring them back to your place for now, and keep them safe."

Samus nodded as the ponies and Spike walked out of the testing room.

"Hey, Sammy!" greeted Pinkie cheerfully as she bounced towards Samus.

"Don't call me that," muttered Samus.

"She must be fun at parties," Rainbow whispered to Twilight.

"Well, you don't appreciate being called Dashie randomly, do you?" accused Applejack.

Rainbow groaned.

"Come on, you eight, let's get back to my personal galactic hub. I need a bit of relaxation after all this excitement," Samus told them.

"Okie dokie lokie pokie!" agreed Pinkie with a giggle.

They entered Samus' spaceship, and Samus started off.

"So, you're the Princess of Friendship, Twilight?" she questioned.

"Yep! You see, alicorns are very important in Equestria. There are currently only 5 alicorns alive!" Twilight exclaimed, trying not to sound like a nerd.

"Alicorn? Like a unicorn with wings, like you?" Samus questioned, quite confused and interested by these creatures.

"Mhm!" answered Twilight.

"I've heard of and seen some strange creatures before, but you eight take the cake," Samus said with a very weak chuckle.

"CAKE!? WHERE?" questioned Pinkie.

The other ponies facehoofed and Samus shook her head.

"What?" Pinkie questioned while shrugging.

Just then, they landed at Samus' personal galactic hub. Getting out of the spaceship and entering inside, the ponies and Spike were amazed by the layout of the place. A big huge couch close to a massive television particularly interested them.

"What's this?" Applejack asked as she pointed to the television.

"You don't have televisions in Equestria?" Samus asked, very surprised.

"Nope," replied Applejack.

"I think I heard of them once!" exclaimed Pinkie.

"You have?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yeah, Discord let me burrow his book about Marvelous Mankind Machinery!" Pinkie stated nonchalantly before gasping.

"I never returned it before we ended up here! Discord's not gonna be happy!"

Samus stared confused before asking a question.

"Who's Discord?"

Pinkie giggled.

"Discord was this mean scary chaos monster lord who can do anything at the snap of a finger! He took over Equestria and turned us against each other, but the power of friendship prevailed and turned him to stone! But then one day Celestia, the alicorn ruler of Equestria, asked us to reform him! And with the help of our friend Fluttershy he's good now! Except for that time with Tirek, Tirek was this big scary magic-stealing cent-"

Pinkie was cut off by Twilight.

"You don't have to go into those details, Pinkie," Twilight said whilst rolling her eye.

Samus looked amused.

"You didn't tell me you actually fight evil! Maybe I should take you eight on a mission sometime, would make my job a bit easier. Not that I need any help, to be honest," Samus said as she took off her helmet and grinned.

Twilight stepped forward.

"Are you sure about that?" she questioned to Samus.

"Yes, very sure," replied Samus.

An akward silence arose.

"Well, I'm gonna take a shower, you eight help yourselves to something in the kitchen. I don't know what you all eat," Samus shrugged.

Pinkie smiled, and music started out of nowhere.

"She isn't..." facehoofed Rainbow.

"She is," Starlight replied with a sigh.

"Is she about to sing about food?" questioned Samus.

"Yep," answered Applejack.

"Everypony loves a bite to eat,
We crave sugars and sweets,
At the table we will take a seat,
We just won't eat any meat!"

Pinkie began bouncing across the room

"Apples, oranges, tomatoes,
Bread, wheat, even pie,
Carrots and potatoes,
Onions we'll even try!"

"Did she say...pie?" questioned Rainbow.

"Yep," nodded Twilight.

"Cupcakes and cake,
Any tasty treat,
Your oven can make,
And every single sweet!"

"Pinkie, I think that's enough," said Spike.

"Awww...two more verses, please?" Pinkie pleaded with sad eyes.

"Fine," said Spike.

"Oats, grapes and saltines,
Pumpkins, pears,
Gravy and green beans,
We're not picky mares!"

"We're not all mares, grumbled Spike.

"And now you know,
A lot we will eat,
That is so,
Just not meeeaaatttt!!!!!"

Pinkie giggled.

"Al...right, I'm gonna go take that shower. Enjoy all those foods, I guess," Samus said with a shrug as she walked to the bathroom.

Pinkie looked around, "was it too much?"

"Kinda, maybe, yes," responded Fluttershy.

Pinkie shrugged and giggled, "I liked it! Now let's see if we can watch something on this television! The cool kids call it a TV, ya know!"

Author's Note

I can't say too much, but Lyrid will be an important character and might have some relation to an iconic Metroid character ;)

Had to have Pinkie sing a kinda cheesy and silly song.
