## Plot

One day, Apple Blossom was having trouble shunting some oil tankers. Yolanda Yo-Yo teased her about it. Then, after a few struggles, she successfully shunted the trucks, only for them to derail. Yolanda Yo-Yo told her that this was her own world.

Rockin' Broc was on his way to Shopville. On his way to Shopville, he raced past an unsuspecting Captain Zoom, who was riding a bike, and almost caused him to fall over. He then met Fortune Stella, and asked her if the way he was going was to Shopville. Fortune Stella confirmed that he was going the right way, but the way was for Shopkins only. Then, Ace spotted a broken fence that was angled like a ramp. He proceeded to race towards it and jumped the fence, landing on the track. Fortune Stella asked where Rockin' Broc thought he was going, and Rockin' Broc replied that he was going to cross the Airport Bridge. Rockin' Broc almost had a collision with Rainbow Sparkle, but managed to dodge her, remarking that he shouldn't blow a gasket over nothing.

Back at Town Square, Apple Blossom was uncoupled from the trucks. Bessie Bowl remarks about the fish trucks that were meant to be taken to Shopville Airport by Strawberry Kiss. Apple Blossom replied that she was busy on her branchline. Yolanda Yo-Yo tells her to get her coaches. Apple Blossom decides to play a trick on Yolanda Yo-Yo by coupling the fish trucks to the end of her train. Yolanda Yo-Yo left for Shopville Airport.

Later, Corny Cob was enjoying the countryside while singing Why Not Go Wild. Rockin' Broc sped by him. Later, Rockin' Broc was doing speed trials on Apple Blossom's Branch Line, and met Apple Blossom. Apple Blossom challenged him to a race, and Rockin' Broc easily beat her up to Ffarquhar, while Apple Blossom watched in awe. When Apple Blossom arrived at Ffarquhar, Rockin' Broc introduced himself and and informed Apple Blossom of the worldwide rally. Apple Blossom stated how she had always wanted to see the world and Rockin' Broc told her that there are rails in other countries and convinced her that she could be the first Shopkin to travel all the way around the world. Rockin' Broc then resumed his speed trials. Later, Yolanda Yo-Yo arrived at Shopville Aiport and was greeted by Fortune Stella. Then, Fortune Stella remarked about the fish trucks at the back of her train. Yolanda Yo-Yo was furious!

Then, Apple Blossom tells Bessie Bowl about his plan and decided to tag along with Rockin' Broc on her journey. Later, Bessie Bowl and the Shopkins were looking for Apple Blossom. They sang a song about how Apple Blossom could be anywhere in the world.

The next morning, Apple Blossom and Rockin' Broc arrived in Dakar and Rockin' Broc managed to make it to the first race, which was running right through the Sahara. However, this meant leaving Apple Blossom behind, which briefly jolted the Shopkin's trust in Rockin' Broc. Apple Blossom knew that the race went up to Dar es Salaam Docks, so she decided that she would make her way up there. Before she started on her journey, she met some African Troublesome Trucks, remarking about how they came for Dar es Salaam.

Back in Shopville, Bessie Bowl questions Bling Unicorn Ring as she loaded Apple Blossom onto a ship bound for Dakar. She didn’t take notice. Then, Bling Unicorn Ring loaded Bessie Bowl onto a ship bound for Dakar. Bessie Bowl wondered where in the world could Apple Blossom go to. Back in Africa, Apple Blossom was on her way to Dar es Salaam. Apple Blossom stops by many stations. The guards get Apple Blossom many trucks until it was long enough. Then Apple Blossom met Jessicake. Apple Blossom stops in Jessicake's yard to collect more trucks to take to Dar es Salaam while in pursuit of Rockin' Broc. Noticing how heavy Apple Blossom's train is getting, Jessicake offers to help, but Apple Blossom sternly refuses, stating she can handle it herself. However, Jessicake later arrives to help Apple Blossom over a steep hill when the trucks nearly cause Apple Blossom to slide back down it. Jessicake encourages the trucks to sing to raise Apple Blossom's mood during the journey. After they sang the song, Apple Blossom remarked how Africa was an amazing country. Jessicake corrected her by saying that Africa was a continent, and she said they'll pass through even more countries before they reach Dar es Salaam. Then, a giant elephant blocked their track! Apple Blossom stopped. Apple Blossom told Jessicake to back up, but she refuses by saying that she was used to animals on the tracks back in Shopville. Then, the elephant charged at Apple Blossom! The trucks sang Enda Ulale.

Then, Bessie Bowl reached Dakar Docks, where she tells the people there if she had seen Apple Blossom. Then, a mysterious man told her that the Shopkins went through the Sahara. The next morning, Apple Blossom and Jessicake had reached Dar es Salaam. Apple Blossom looked for Rockin' Broc, but she didn't see him. Then, Jessicake met Donatina and Donatina asked her that her boiler, feet and any other Shopkin parts are in good working order and that they are being treated well. She took the time to catch up on recent events with Jessicake. Apple Blossom asked Donatina if she had seen Rockin' Broc, which she replied she did. Donatina left. Apple Blossom said Rockin' Broc went on without her. She thanked Jessicake for her help and went to Rio de Janerio by herself.

Then, Apple Blossom was loaded onto a ship bound for Rio. Jessicake tagged along with Apple Blossom, saying she was of a great help. Then, the ship left. Rockin' Broc ended up meeting Apple Blossom during her voyage to Rio de Janeiro and tried to convince her to not let Jessicake follow her. Once they arrived, she left Apple Blossom behind again to compete in the next rally through the Amazon.

Then, a signalman flagged Apple Blossom. The signalman said that if she wanted to fill up on coal, then she would have to do something really useful first. Apple Blossom decided to take coffee to San Francisco. When they got to the yard, Apple Blossom looked at the many coffee cars. Jessicake decided to help yet again. Then, they set off to San Francisco.

In the Amazon, Apple Blossom and Jessicake were going nice and slow, when Apple Blossom saw Rockin' Broc and his friends. Jessicake remarked about the water tower. Apple Blossom decided to follow Rockin' Broc, and she dreamed about if she were like Rockin' Broc. Back in Africa, Bessie Bowl and the unnamed man were going across the Sahara Desert by camels. Bessie Bowl asked if she was sure Apple Blossom went that way. Bessie Bowl drank all of the water.

Back in the Amazon, Apple Blossom and Jessicake were crashing into puddles, when they spotted Rockin' Broc. At some point, he crashed onto his head and was rescued by Apple Blossom and Jessicake on their way to San Francisco. When they rescued Rockin' Broc, Apple Blossom had run out of water. Jessicake suggested using leaves to fill up Apple Blossom's water tanks. That plan worked.

Back at Dar es Salaam, Bessie Bowl was looking for Apple Blossom again. When a man asked him if he wanted a hat, the Tanzanian Crane picked up Bessie Bowl and he asks to take a look at his photo, and after looking at the photo, he tells Bessie Bowl Apple Blossom was loaded onto a ship bound for Rio de Janeiro. He then lowers him back on the ground.

Apple Blossom, Rockin' Broc and Jessicake were going slow, when they noticed the ground was sinking. Apple Blossom went fast, and ended up on a bridge. The bridge collapsed, and half of the coffee went into the water. When Apple Blossom asked if everyone was okay, Jessicake and Rockin' Broc replied yes. Rockin' Broc then sang Friends Go On and On.

When in Brazil, Bessie Bowl asks Bread Head to take a look at Apple Blossom's photo, Bread Head replied that he saw Apple Blossom delivering coffee to San Fransisco. Later, when the Shopkins arrive in Arizona, they pass Candy Apple. Then, they start to cross the Morenci Loop. Rockin' Broc complained about the slow, gradual pace the two Shopkins were taking, as he liked to live life "free and easy" and on his own terms. Then, Jessicake started to go fast down the Morenci Loop. While they were doing that, they almost collide into Sally Shakes. Jessicake asked Sally if she was okay, to which Sally Shakes replied that she was fine. Then they started to continue.

Bessie Bowl is in Emerson looking for Apple Blossom, to which Emerson replied that he hadn't seen her.

As they travelled through Arizona, Rockin' Broc convinced the Shopkins to split up their train and race each other - in reality, he was scheming to abandon Jessicake and get Apple Blossom to bring him to the Salt Flats. However, as Apple Blossom picked up speed, they became a runaway, colliding with Sneaky Sally's trucks and running into an old mineshaft, before finally derailing. After the two derailed, Sneaky Sally caught up to them and laughed at Apple Blossom's request to find a breakdown crane as those weren't used in the area. Taking Apple Blossom's driver and fireman as well as Rockin' Broc driver, he left to find people and horses to help them, not returning until the next day. Once the two were upright on the rails and on their way, Sneaky Sally commented on the way they talked being funny to him.

Later, Bessie Bowl is in San Francisco looking for Apple Blossom. She asks Gran Jam if she had seen Apple Blossom, to which Gran Jam said she didn't look like Jessicake.

Later, Apple Blossom and Rockin' Broc arrived at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Apple Blossom, disgusted and disenchanted with Rockin' Broc's selfish behaviour, left him at the Salt Flats before continuing on to San Francisco to find Jessicake - Rockin' Broc initially scoffed at Apple Blossom's anger, but did show a hint of surprise and remorse as they went their separate ways.

In San Francisco, Apple Blossom asks Gran Jam if she had seen Jessicake, to which Gran Jam replied that she saw her delivering coffee there. Then, the American Crane loads Apple Blossom onto a ship bound for China.

When in China, Freda Fern recognized Apple Blossom as she met her at the Great Railway Shoe. She asks Freda Fern if she had seen Jessicake, to which she replies she hadn't. Macy Macaron saw her and informed Apple Blossom she was heading to Zhangye Danxia. Apple Blossom then continued to the Himalayas.

When Apple Blossom caught up to Jessicake in the Himalayas, she refused to listen to her explanations for what happened, still hurt and upset about it, but hearing her heartfelt apology, she realised she never meant to upset her and was truly sorry for it. Before she and Apple Blossom could fully make amends, an avalanche caused by Apple Blossom trying to get Jessicake's attention swept her off the tracks and left her dangling precariously over a cliff. Apple Blossom attempted to pull her back to safety, but a rock underneath her was dislodged, causing her to go over the edge and nearly pull Apple Blossom with her, until Freda Fern arrived just in time to save both of them. After Jessicake was lifted back onto the rails by the breakdown cranes brought by Freda Fern and Macy Macaron, she and Apple Blossom prepared to return to Shopville, with Freda Fern advising they travel through Asia and Europe to get back to Shopville via The Mainland.

Together, Jessicake and Apple Blossom made their way back to Shopville, unaware of a signalman in India seeing Apple Blossom and phoning ahead to let the North Western Railway know she was coming home. When they reach the Airport Bridge, Apple Blossom realised that once she crossed it, she would be home, but Jessickae would have to go home to Kenya. However, Jessicake revealed what she had tried to tell Donatina back in Dar es Salaam before Apple Blossom interrupted her, that she no longer had a home to go back to. Sympathetic to her plight, Apple Blossom offered Jessicake the chance to stay and work on the North Western Railway, knowing that Bessie Bowl would love to have Jessicake working on her railway. The two Shopkins crossed the bridge, returning to Small Mart to find a large group of Apple Blossom's friends, Shopkin and Shoppie alike, welcoming her home. After Apple Blossom formally introduced Jessicake to Mystabella and the others, Jessicake prepared to enjoy her new home in Shopville.

Rockin' Broc later met Bessie Bowl, who had been looking for Apple Blossom the whole time, on a ship back home.
