        Driving down the highway, Alex Savage talks with his best pal over his bluetooth headset.

"So, man, how's your parkour been treating ya?" His friend asks.

Alex laughs at the question "Are you really asking me that? It's the same as always, sore back and legs, a stubbed toe or two..."

He then remembers why he had called his friend in the first place "So, did you finish up the coding for the game?"

His friend sighs over the phone "It's almost finished, but the real question is if you're done with the models yet. You can't be moving around so much if you can't get simple stuff like that done on time."

The graphic artist also sighs "I'll get those done tonight, I promise you. I just need to work on some of the textures." Then, trying to change the subject, he asks "Did you hear about the new season of MLP that'll be airing November?"

His friend scoffs "Dude, it's been all over Facebook. Of course I've heard about it."

"Oh, yeah. Hey, I don't know If I had asked you this before, but if you were to have one of the Mane 6 as a girlfriend, which one would it be?"

"At the risk of sounding cliche, my choice would be Rainbow Dash. And before you tell me, I know that you like Twilight. I've seen the stuff you have on your computer."

"You're a dick."

"I know where you want to put yours."

Alex' eyebrows furrow in frustration "I swear, I'll strangle you when I see you-"

And suddenly there is a bright flash, and outside of his windows he now could only see random colors speeding by, some in the normal spectrum, but others mind-boggling, as they've never before been seen by the human eye.

The flash comes again, and this time his car is sailing through the air and lands on the ground smoothly, for some unknown reason.

But it is not this that Alex is confounded by, it is where he seemed to have landed.

Sitting in his car, he finds himself in the middle of Princess Celestia's throne room, surrounded by gaping ponies.
