Spike: Uh, Twilight? Where's your castle?
Twilight: The map pulled us back, but whatever Starlight did in the past changed things here!
Spike: But why? And how did we get here? Where's here?
Twilight: More like when.
Saten: (annoyed) Please Twilight, that's such a douche time-traveler thing to say.
Twilight: Whatever.. Point is, Starlight altered Star Swirl's spell, then somehow used it on the map to travel into the past and change something!
Saten: It's obvious what it i-
Twilight: Saten, please.. Anyway. Once she did, the map pulled us back to the present!
Spike: So we're back where— I mean, when we started?
(Saten is heard groaning)
Twilight: Not exactly. Everything's different. Look. The map doesn't even make sense anymore! The Crystal Empire takes up half of Equestria!
Spike: Plus there's the whole missing castle thing.
Twilight: Right! This is too big to handle on our own.
Spike: You think?
Twilight: We need to find our friends and get help!
Spike: I'm gettin' a bad feeling about this, Twilight.
Twilight: I know, Spike, but this is Ponyville. How bad could things be?
Spike: Is that Sugarcube Corner?
Twilight: I don't understand.
Spike: [gasps] (runs to Rarity's house, knocking on her door) RARITY!?
Twilight: I don't think she's here, Spike. I'm not sure anything we know is the same. But I know one place that could never change!
SKIPS TO APPLEJACK'S FARM:
Twilight: Applejack?!
Applejack: What can I do for you?
Twilight: It's so good to see you! We couldn't find Pinkie or Rarity or Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash, but I just knew you'd still be here!
Applejack: Of course I am. This is my home. But who in tarnation is Pinkie Bow and Flutterdash? Or you for that matter?
Twilight: You... don't know who I am?
Saten: Coarse she dosen't dummy.. Starlight changed so you don't know each other.
Twilight: ... I don't follow.
Saten: (sighs in annoyance) Coarse you don't.
Applejack: Honestly, the only name I recognize is Rarity, but she left for Manehattan years ago.
Spike: (excited) Probably to become a world-famous fashion designer, I bet.
Applejack: Not that I know of. Last I heard, she went to help with the cause like everypony else.
Twilight: The cause?
Applejack: The war against King Sombra and the Crystal Empire?
Twilight, Saten and Spike: What?!
Applejack: Where have you three been?
Spike: Actually, it's whe-
Saten: (angrily) Don't say it!

"Well.. I guess I should get going" Ditto said, starting to leave.
"Wait.. One last favour sweetie... How would you feel about being the next captain?" Celestia asked.
".. What?" Ditto asked, a bit confused.
"As you may or may not being aware.. Shining Armour and his lovely wife are too busy with The Crystal Empire.. So the guards need a new leader. And they saw how skilled of a fighter you are.. So they want you" Celestia replied.
"Oh.. Well., Guess I could do that.. I mean.. Why not" Ditto replied.
"(kisses his cheek) Good boy.. Let me show you to your new office" Celestia said, and lead him further into the castle.
