This continues where 'Trapped in another world, Enter Professor Tirek' left off.

We see Spike rushing out into the Canterlot streets, tears in his eyes.

"WHAT CAN I DO?" *SOBS*
How do I fix this?"

He walks up to a train station.
"HEY! WHERE IS THIS TRAIN GOING?"

The stallion replies "Ponyville kid."

Spike gasps "Ponyville...
Can you take me there?"

The stallion replies again "You got a ticket?"

Spike shakes his head no.

The stallion sighs "No ticket no ride, sorry kiddo."

Spike grabs onto his leg.
"PLEASE MISTER YOU'VE GOT TO LET ME-"

The stallion pushes him away.
"STOP IT KID! You're embarrassing me...
Look, I can't take you to Ponyville, I could get fired! now go on!"

Spike walks away crying again.
He comes up to a door, and begins knocking.
"PLEASE PLEASE LET ME IN! I NEED YOUR HELP!
SOMEONE PLEASE! MY FRIENDS ARE CAPTURED YOU'VE GOTTA HELP ME!"

A Pony opens the door.
She points her hooves outward.
"I DON'T CARE, GET OUT!"

Spike walks away "Everyone here is so...
so grumpy."

We see what looks like Applejack, with a black cowgirl hat.
"I can help you pard'ner, if you'd be willing to pay."

Spike squeals "Applejack? HOW DID YOU GET FR?-
Oh right... alternate universe, ok yeah..
look, I don't have any money."

Applejack scoffs "Well I can't help you if you can't pay."

Spike sighs "Alright, if you can't-"

Applejack scoffs "WELL,
...WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

Spike looks back to her.
"Umm.. I don't know, but you can't help me."

Applejack sighs "FINE, I'LL HELP YOU."

Spike raises an eyebrow "But you said you can't-"

Applejack sighs "I'm a scam artist alright?
But that's beside the point, I hate what Professor Tirek is doing, and the Princesses...
That's why we've been creating a rebel team.. to find some other source of magic out there,
there's gotta be something else! so...we're willing to accept any recruits we can find."

Spike replies "Alright, if it helps get my friends free...
i'm in."
