[there is some static before a loud thumping is heard over the speakers. if you listen closely, you can here someone faintly asking Is this thing on?, followed by some muffled conversation. after that, the picture is adjusted and a blonde teenager's bust is shown]

Oh, thanks, sugarcube... Uh, hey there, everypony. [she waves at the screen, looking quite awkward, as though she weren't comfortable in her own skin] Th'name's Applejack. Ah got here a few days ago, but Ah've been... uh. Dealin' with some... stuff.

But now that Ah finally figured out how t'work this thing, Ah thought Ah'd try talkin' t'some of th'folks around here, 'cause Ah'm still not really understandin' everything. Monodramon's been a big help. [here, the device spins around, revealing the Digimon that is actually holding the D-Terminal. he waves too before focusing the screen on AJ again] An' Ah've read the information here over an' over. It's still a lot t'take in, yanno?

Ah guess what Ah wanna say is Ah'd be glad t'help y'all out, especially if savin' this world means Ah'll be able to help Equestria. Just lemme know what Ah should do first.

Well, it's a long story...a powerful Digimon had taken the Chosens' original partners and broke a piece of their core. Then they had taken that piece and made other partners...we call 'em SCOPE partners.

Or something like that.

[she's tilting her head as she tries to understand, then just sighs]

Ah don't get it, but Ah guess it's not really important now. But why did the powerful Digimon do that? Was it tryin' t'hurt y'all?

I think that was the idea. I guess he took the original partners away and gave the Chosen fragmented version in hopes of making them weaker somehow.

He didn't count on the Chosen really bonding so well with the SCOPE partners, though.

one of the most important things Ah've ever learned was to never underestimate the power of friendship. Sounds like that Digimon had a rough time! Ah'm guessin' he was defeated?

Um...maybe? I forget who exactly made the SCOPE partners, and who returned the original ones. [He gave a sheepish laugh.] Things have kind of been a blur lately...

Oh. Ah see. Well, are things okay now?

Besides the other city where we'd all been living before disappearing, things are okay mostly.

Okay, so... There was another city everypony was living, but somethin' happened to it, and that's why y'all are movin' to HospiTown?

Yeah, pretty much.

So, what happens now? Lots of things must've been lost!

Most likely. Right now, though, all we can do is regroup and see if everyone's okay. Then we'll try to figure out what to do from there.

[so this disaster just happened, and AJ was placed right in the aftermath. she would have to be patient then]

Alright, Ah get it. Thanks fer answerin' all my questions, Choco.

No problem! We do what we can to help...'specially since you're one of Fluttershy's friends.

[that makes her smile. she's so glad Fluttershy and the others are safe here!]

An' just know y'all can ask me for anythin', too, okay? Ah'll be here for you!

[He nods with a grin.] Sounds good to me!

So when do y'all think yer gonna get here?

Mm...not really sure. We're with these guys right now, and we're trying to get them out of Tree Top Isle so we can all head to Hospitown together.

Edited 2014-01-12 07:10 (UTC)

How far away is Tree Top Isle?

It doesn't seem too far, really. It's just...trying to get these guys to leave is kind of a thing...

They like exploring. [Among other things.]

Tell 'em they're holdin' everypony else up!

[He laughs a little.] We're working on it. We'll get 'em there, though. I know they both wanna check on Fluttershy when she gets there too, but 'specially one in particular.

... [blink]

Oh, yeah?

Yeah! It's...oh... [He grins sheepishly at the look Sprout is suddenly giving him.]

It's uh...complicated.

Ah see... [now this sounds interesting. AJ may have to press further. later] Well, then maybe if Ah find Fluttershy, those guys'll get here faster.

[wink]

[Choco laughs, and Sprout rolls her eyes in amusement.] That's what we're hoping too.
