(I'll start)

 

It was a normal and happy day in Ponyville, where ponies trotted around and socializing with each other... until they hear of what it sounds like a machine. One by one, the Ponyville citizens all gather around to see what appears to be a racing machine, with wheels instead of hooves. "This thing has Rainbow Dash's rainbow and her cutie mark!" said one of the Ponyville citizens with a shocked expression. All the ponies murmured as they try to figure it out on how this machine got to Ponyville and how it has the near-identical paint job that closely resembles as Rainbow Dash herself. "Does this machine have an owner or something?" said another of a concerned pony, as the citizens looked at each other with confusion, as nopony has ever designed it before, let alone commandeer it. How this machine that is closely identical to Rainbow Dash's appearance and how it appeard in this peaceful town is all a mystery to everypony around Ponyville.

Rainbow dash was sleeping peacefully on top of a cloud, her tail hanging over the side as she lazily drifted across the sky under cloud-power. She was having the best of dreams-it was the Wonderbolt one again. She imagined herself soaring across the sky, the wind beneath her wings, as Soarin and Spitfire flew on either side of her. The weather was just perfect, and the pegasi watching were cheering, their gleeful roars mixing in with the sound of the wind to create an indistinguishable cacophony that she couldn't discern, but loved nonetheless. She felt a slight burst of strength in her hooves-it was time to wow the crowd with her trademark Buccaneer Blaze. She opened her mouth to yell out a cheer-

 

And woke up. There was a clamor of sound far below on the ground, right beneath her. She blinked for a second, still splayed out on top of the cloud, trying desperately to fall back asleep and continue the dream. But it was no use-she was awake, and the crowd below was too loud. "Aww..." she groaned, sighing in irritation as she peeked down from the cloud, to see a crowd of ponies gathered below. "Keep it down a notch, I'm trying to sleep!"

Although it did not stop a crowd of ponies from letting her sleep, one of the Ponyville citizens look up to see Rainbow Dash. "Hey, Rainbow Dash! You gotta see this! It looks like a machine that looks like you! Well... except it doesn't talk." said one of the concerned ponies as they continue to spread gossip at each other, trying to figure out what this machine came from, with few of other ponies looking up at the tired Rainbow Dash.

"Give me a few more minutes," pleaded Rainbow Dash, snuggling up to her cloud. But it was too late, every nerve in her body was wide awake. Sighing, she peeked down from the cloud. "It looks like me, you say? Let's take a look!" Jumping off of the cloud and soaring on a draft towards the ground, she landed neatly on the soft grass and trotted over to the machine. "Hmm," she murmured, catching sight of the cutie mark. "This machine is totally awesome!" she cheered.

The crowd seems to agree, although still concerned about it. "It... it looks like a pony from the future!" the crowd gasps after a male unicorn mentions that the machine was a pony from the future. One of the Ponyville citizens takes a closer look at the window, admist hearing the sound of its engine that is still active, peeking into it and spots its monitor that reads:

 

"IDLE..."

"IDLE..."

"IDLE..."

 

The pony stands back, with a shocked expression, thinking that it can talk, albeit only using texts. "Uhh... Rainbow Dash? I think that this machine can speak or something, using words."

Rainbow Dash sighed as she walked over to the car. "Ponies, come on. It's just a machine. Even though it looks totally cool. Don't get your mane in a twist." She knocked on the window with a hoof. "See? No response. Which just leaves the question of what this thing even is." She tilted her head at the car, trying (and failing) to discern its identity. "Maybe Twilight will know something about this," she said hopefully to herself.

All of a sudden, the car's text from its monitor changes and begins to write on its own, which then reads:

 

"..."

"..."

"LOCATION: UNKNOWN"

"VEHICLE CONDITION: PERFECT"

"DAMAGE STATUS: NONE"

"VOICE RESPONSE: VARIOUS"

 

It suddenly begins to roll down its window as the Ponyville citizens gasped. "It's alive!" said one of the ponies with an even more shocked expression. Everypony looks at each other, murmuring in a puzzled manner, considering as how it does not have an owner yet.

Rainbow Dash scowled. "O-kay, it's getting a bit creepy now. I think I'm gonna go on down out of freakytown." With that, she backtracked away from the lumbering vehicle, glancing both left and right, wondering which direction to take. "I'll visit Twilight and see what she has to say about creepy talking machines," she decided, as she flew off towards the horizon.

Unbeknownst to Rainbow Dash, the vehicle begins to slowly move, as the Ponyvile citizens gasp in shock before moving out of the way so it would move as it follows the direction Rainbow Dash went. "It's moving on its own!" said a now completely shocked Ponyville citizen, as one of the fillies faint onto the grassy ground after witnessing it move. The vehicle continues to follow Rainbow Dash's direction as it slowly moves faster.

Rainbow Dash noticed the vehicle trailing her. "O-okay," she said to herself. "Relax, Rainbow. Just keep calm and-". The vehicle slowly began speeding up. "Run!" yelped Rainbow Dash, flying as fast as she could towards Twilight's library before unceremoniously crashing through the second-story window. "Twi, do you have any books on stalker machinerey?" begged Rainbow.

Twilight glanced in irritation at the shattered window. "No, but I do have books on fixing windows."

"Please, just look outside. It's an emergency."

Twilight rolled her eyes but left the library, stopping just outside the exit to examine the car.

The vehicle, which has the near-identical paint job of Rainbow Dash's appearance, pulls to a stop outside of Twilight's library as Twilight Sparkle examines it. The monitor from its interior then reads:

 

"..."

"..."

"..."

"WHO ARE YOU?"

"Oh wow, it talks," said Twilight Sparkle, fascinated. "Obviously this must have been prorammed quite intelligently, to the point where it has an artificial intelligence that allows it to thrive in daily life..." she began taking notes.

Rainbow Dash came trotting out of the library. "Did you deal with it yet?" She gave a startled yelp as she saw the machine and darted back inside.

Twilight glanced at the library, then back at the machine. "Look, whatever you are...could you please stop following my friend around? She doesn't seem to like it very much."

The vehicle simply backs up and performs a 180-degree spin, although slowly, before driving away from the library, leaving both Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash alone, without a single word.

Twilight rolled her eyes as she watched the vehicle leave. "Dash, you can come out now. It left."

Dash barreled out of the library. "Yes! Finally! What did you do to it to make it leave?"

"I asked," said Twilight simply, gathering up her notes. "I wonder where the machine went though. It's fascinating."

"Fascinatingly scary," sighed Dash. "I'll keep an eye out for it when I feel up to it."

As it drives throughout Ponyville, everpony stands there, slowly driving along the grassy ground. The Ponyvilly citizens gossip at each other once again as it passes by, eventually leaving Ponyville. Later, it drives around to Sweet Apple Acres as it wanders around on its own. Along the way, however, one of its rear wheels suddenly becomes stuck from the dirt ground as it struggles to free itself, with its rear wheels spinning, and its engine revving loudly as it tries to become unstuck. Unfourtunately, its rear wheels are only causing them to dig along the dirt ground, eventually becoming completely stuck.

"And...there's your last bushel, Big Mac!" called Applejack, tiredly slamming her hind legs into a tree trunk, causing it to shake violently. "Ah'm all tuckered out now..." She wiped a bead of sweat off of her forehead as the reddish-coated stallion struggled up to the bushels, painstakingly lifting them onto his back. "Ah'm gonna take a break, alright?" called Applejack, waving him an exhausted good-bye as she trotted out of orchard, opting to plonk herself down on a picnic table near the barn and fall asleep.

The peace and quiet only lasted for a little while, though. A slight "vroom" sound was ruining Applejack's nap. She tried ignoring it, but the noise, both consistent and irritating, eventually broke her resolve. Sighing, she sat up, looking left and right to try to determine the noise's source.

She encounters on what appears to be a racing machine, which bears it's close appearance to Rainbow Dash, and its rear wheels have been completely stuck underneath the dirt ground as it struggles to drive itself free, with its rear wheels spinning slowly to no avail as both its rubbers and wheels is covered in dirt, with seemingly no way to free itself.

Applejack blinked as she watched the vehicle kick up mud as it tried to free itself. "Well, darn it all. Will ya look at that..." She winced as a particularly large wave of mud, kicked up by the car's wheels, splattered her front hoof. "If it ain't a renegade car of some sort." Carefully walking up to the struggling car, she tapped twice on the windowpane inquisitively, expecting to see a driver inside.

Surprisingly enough, there was no one inside of the vehicle. She can only see the monitor that has a picture of a chassis, which shows two red flashing rear wheels, with the flashing text that reads "STUCK" as it flashes while still trying to free itself effortlessly. To another surprise from Applejack, the vehicle has a near-resemblance of Rainbow Dash's appearance and her cutie mark from both sides of the doors, with the rainbows appearing both the front and on the hood bonnet.

Applejack rubbed her eyes. "Ah'm seein' things, aren't ah? A driverless car, now don't that top the hay..." Nonetheless, it WAS making a godawful racket. She considered the helplessly spinning car for a few seconds before sighing impatiently. "Mac? Get over here-and bring a rope!"

The vehicle then stops spinning its tires, as to prevent itself from overheating itself as it now simply sits there, all four wheels, with both in the rear being completely bogged by the mud after numerous attempts to free itself.

Big Mac arrived on the scene a few moments later, carrying a parge bundle of rope. "What seems ta be the problem?" he asked, in a slow drawl.

"What do ya think?" asked Applejack, impatiently waving her hoof at the grounded car. "This...THING is stuck in the mud. By the look of them markings, it's probably Rainbow Dash's racing car or summat. She'd appreciate it if we could get it unstuck, ah'm sure."

"Eeyup." Big Mac slowly trotted over to the car, and began tying the rope around the chassis for a few moments. "Okayyy." Grabbing the end of the rope, he began pulling southwards, while Applejack tried pushing the car from the north.

The vehicle is slowly but surely being freed from the mud by both Big Macintosh and Applejack, despite its sheer weight for such a lightweight vehicle. Eventually, it is pulled away from the mud by the two ponies, despite its rear wheels being completely covered in mud. The text messages from its monitor then reads before shutting off its engine:

 

"STATUS: UNSTUCK"

"COMMENTS: THANK YOU"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"ENGINE IDLE"

"STANDBY MODE ACTVE"

 

Although its engine is shut off, which might be equivalent to sleeping, its monitor from its interior remains on after being freed by both Applejack and Big Macintosh.
