Tiny snores escaped through the party girl's mouth, she slumbered in a diagonal position, body spread all over the bed, blanket half fallen on the floor. The sound of her alarm buzzed on her night shelf, "In a minute Mr. Jelly Bean..." the girl let out happy murmurs as she dreamed and turned it off, still in her sleep. She rolled to her cozy spot, hugging her soft warm pillow.

A few seconds later, Pinkie's eyes snapped open, "WAIT!" she got up and picked up her phone to look at the time, "Oh fiddlesticks, IM LATE!" she screamed and fell off the bed. The girl sprinted to the bathroom and prepared herself as lightning. Less than a minute, she was ready, "BYE GUMMY!" said Pinkie to her alligator plush before rushing through the door. Once going to the garage, she went in and immediately started apologizing, "SMOKEYIMSOSORRYTHATIOVERSLEPTIDIDNTSAWTHETIMEANDI--!" the element of laughter halted from talking when she spotted her big sister staring at the automobile.

Maud Pie slowly looked at Pinkie with an unbothered expression, "Nice car."

Pinkie glanced at her and then at the vehicle, she chuckled nervously and greeted her sibling with open arms, "Mauuud! You're back! Early..."

"I helped out on the farm faster than I expected. I returned at midnight and... I saw this." the grey girl's gaze fell on the sports car again, "I didn't know you were into such models."

"Oh well, you know me! I'm Pinkie Pie, full of surprises hehe, surpriseee..." she awkwardly hugged her sister, "Do you... like it?"

"It's a bit too colorful for my taste, but I suppose it's fine." Maud patted her on the back, "Hope you have a nice ride. I have to go feed Boulder. He can get fussy when he is angry." she showed her pet rock on her palm, "Oh. Before I forget-" the expressionless female roamed in the bag she held and took out a small gift box, she handled it to Pinkie who excitedly opened it, there were several necklaces decorated with sweet colorful rocks, "Made a few rock candies for you while I was gone, I know you like them."

Pinkie Pie let out a loud gasp, "My favorite! Ohh, thankyouthankyouthankyou!" she bounced in delight and hugged her sibling tight, "You are the best big sister EVER! See you later, Maud!" they waved at one another as the party teen got in the car and drove off.

Smokescreen spoke up, "Okay, not to be rude or anything but... how are you two even related? And what did she mean by too colorful?! I thought my paint job was great!"

"That's just Maud for ya. I know she doesn't show it much, but she likes to express her emotions through actions. Plus, you haven't heard her rock puns yet, they are hiiilarious!"

"Not going to lie but uh... she gave me some slight chills back there."

"Don't worry, Smokey! I'm sure if you get to know each other someday, you will definitely like her!"

"If you say so..."

The light of the big Groundbridge emerged from thin air inside the secret base of the Cybertronian team, Autobot Outpost Omega One. The vehicle form of Strongarm appeared from the brightness as she drove in the main area and parked at the center. She opened her doors for both Twilight Sparkle and her pet dog, Spike, to step out. When they finally left the patrol car, the femme converted into her robot mode and the three of them walked towards the voices of their friends.

Rainbow Dash was sitting next to a table, her entire arm covered in electrodes, resting on the surface. By the look of her tired expression, she seemed extremely bored, "Ugh, I told you already, it doesn't work!" she grunted at the orange mini-con, Fixit, who was checking the screen of the small control device for any new results. Sideswipe was leaning over the platform, watching them from behind.
