Its already been a year since that incident, but there still isn't a day that passes by that I don't think about him. Mr.Johnson, that is. To me, he was like a second father. He was the only family I had after my parents had died, and now, he was gone. Even in death, he had cared for me, leaving everything that he had owned to me in his will. His truck, his house, all of it went to me. Since then, I've been making sure to take care of these things of his, in the hopes that I'd make him happy, even in the afterlife.

I was going through my normal morning routine, keeping the house in check after I made sure everything was up to modern standards. Dust the rooms, vacuum, the usual. I sat down on the couch with a cup of coffee in my hand, taking a few sips every now and again as I watched the television news, when suddenly, the doorbell rang.

I felt a brow of mine raise as I took one last sip of my coffee before I placed it down on the living room counter, standing from the couch with a grunt and making my way to the door. "Hello-" I had begun to greet while pulling open the door, stopping as I noticed that, much to my surprise, nobody was there.

“What the heck?” I stuck my head out of the doorway and glanced around, figuring that I'd at least be able to get some view of whoever had knocked, but, as luck would have it, that didn't help at all, still leaving me with no idea as to who had come by.

"Hmph. Probably just some elaborate ding dong ditch prank."

I thought to myself as I rolled my eyes, beginning to make my way outside to seek out whoever had decided to bother me. As I did so though, I was nearly tripped as my foot crashed into something, myself giving a mental thanks to the fact that I was wearing sandals at the moment.

There, at the doorstop, was a box. Now, it wasn't a UPS box, or any regular U.S. postage box, but rather, just a plain,ordinary, cardboard box. Curious, I picked it up to see if there was anything on it, like an address or something, to figure out who has sent it, or from where, but there wasn't anything on it. No stickers, stamps, or even a hastily written marker note. Nothing. I took one last glance around me before, shrugging my shoulders in confusion, I took the box into the house, closing the door behind me so I wouldn't let the air out, or anything.

Putting the box on the kitchen counter, I grabbed hold of the flaps and slowly, cautiously, opened it. Weird, there wasn't even any tape holding the box shut. When I opened the box, I was surprised, and moreover, confused, to see that, inside, was some sort of... Gem. It reminded a lot of the kind a person would see in a video game, but, real.

Looking over the red jewel, I tilted my head as I tried to see… well, anything unique about it. In truth though, it just seemed like a pretty piece of jewelry. Heck, I could probably get something really nice with this, or maybe just keep it around for decoration.
Odd thing though. As I held the jewel, I could have sworn that it let out some sort of... Glow. Almost ethereal, really. I shook my head and glanced back at it, noticing the glow was now gone, before I put that little... Incident, off as just a bit of an early morning hallucination. I had a pretty over-active imagination, after all.

Anyways, as to why I had gotten this, I wasn't sure. Maybe someone had mailed it to the wrong address? No, that wouldn't explain why it was unmarked, or untaped. Was it, like, a good luck charm, or something? I wasn't sure, but, nonetheless, it did look nice, and valuable too. In fact, I know the perfect place to keep this.

Walking over to the fireplace, I turned Mr. Johnson's medal sideways, as I had long grown accustomed to, and stepped into the resulting elevator, flipping the switch to close the fireplace and leaning against the back wall, the gem firmly held in my right hand as I continued to look it over, as I waited for the elevator to reach its destination.

Soon, with a loud ding to signify our reaching the bottom of the elevator shaft, the door opened once again, revealing the room that Mr.Johnson had originally showed me when I first got the suit. I put the gem on the middle table to the room, figuring I'd found out more about it later, before I got to work on a little... Project, of mine.

It took about two hours, but I finally managed to finish what I had been working on. A small compartment had been added onto the utility belt of the suit Mr.Johnson had left behind for me, giving me more inventory space and convenience for whenever necessary. I figured, since I’m on my own, I'd need all the luck I could get, and this gem may be just what i need. Now, placing the gem into the compartment, I glanced to the built in wall clock of the from I was in, noticing that it was still only about 3 PM. All I had to do now, was wait.

At around 8 PM, I got into my suit and hopped into the predator jet, mentally preparing myself as I went for another 'night on the town'. The Jet took off as well as usual, my location set for Manhattan, where I had heard a new spree f crimes were starting to pop up. For the next few minutes, everything was fine. As I rode of the edge of Manhattan though, something... unexpected happened. The jet started to glow.

“Odd. This jet isn't nuclear powered. Heaven knows I've had to refuel it enough times to prove that. So, why is doing this now?" I mused to myself as I glanced to the maintenance monitors of the vehicle, hoping that it would give me at least a hint as to what was happening.

The glow itself was unpredictable. I say this because the outside of the jet was pulsating every color at once, from what the cameras showed, and they always seemed to go in different distances from one another. The glow stopped for a moment or two, much to my curiosity, but soon enough, it started up again. This time though, it wasn't around the jet….. it was in front of me. I was flying head first into, though this may sound ridiculous, a rainbow colored portal.

I tried to turn away, but by, I was already too close, and all I could do was watch as I was taken into the hole, the portal closing almost immediately behind me with a flash. Then, the portal changed its direction, tossing me straight down as I desperately tried to pull the jet up, the steering wheel jammed and unallowing me to stop my downwards pivot. Soon enough, the alarms started to go off, warning me of my rapidly decreasing altitude and to pull up.

After about 5 minutes, the jet started to spark and shake as a bolt of white electricity collided with it, followed by another, and then another, eventually knocking out the left jet turbine, the others still in working condition as the steering was knocked out of place, both bolts having hit the tail and angled it to the left and facing up while the wings pointed opposite, essentially sending me into a spin.

This was not good!

Golden Oaks Library

During the time when most colts and fillies would normally be asleep, a certain lavender mare was outside on her balcony, her telescope out as she admired princess Luna’s brilliant display of stars that were out tonight.

“I really wish that some ponies took the time to look at the stars like the ones out tonight." Twilight Sparkle mused to herself as she stood there on her balcony, stargazing.

“Spike," she called, waving her hoof to attract the attention of her dragon assistant while still not turning away from the telescope. "can you give me a parchment? I want to see if I can-” She was cut off as the snoring of her #1 assistant broke through the silence of the night, signifying his boredom and drowsiness as he slept. Twilight let out a smile as she saw this, giggling as she rolled her eyes at the dragon's behavior.

“...Well, I guess it can wait for tomorrow night.” She said, returning to her telescope for one last glimpse of the night sky. Then, much to her surprise, a rainbow colored vortex appeared broke through the above horizon, eliciting a gasp from the unicorn as she focused the telescope to get a closer look at it. No sooner than she had done so however, an odd, black object shot out of it, billowing smoke coming out of the back while it spun wildly to the ground, a loud sound coming from it before it finally crashed into the Everfree forest.

Reacting as quickly as she could, she ran towards her sleeping assistant, trying to wake him up,but to no avail. After a few more frustrating attempts, Twilight then focused her magic, her horn beginning to glow as she let out a 'humph' of annoyance, materializing a wooden bucket of in her magical grasp and dumping it on Spike.

“ABANDON SHIP, FOALS AND MARES FIRST!” He started screaming, sputtering from his sudden water-themed wake up.
“SPIKE, SNAP OUT OF IT!” Twilight yelled, trying to get Spike's attention. Shaking his head, some of the water splattering onto Twilight and around the room as he did so, he turned to his friend, rubbing his eyes in tired, groggy, frustration.

“Huh? TWILIGHT?!? WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!? I WAS HAVING THE MOST AWESOME DREAM!!!” He complained, crossing his arms as he looked to her and let out a yawn.

“ Because Spike, something just crashed into the Everfree forest, and whatever it was, it could be dangerous! I need you to take a note to the princess.” Spike obeyed Twilight's wishes and got out a blank scroll and feather pen, looking to Twilight as she quickly began to tell him everything he was to write down.

By the time I was able to see again, I could clearly tell that I wasn't where I used to be before. At the moment though, I couldn't really care less, more focused on trying to stabilize the plane so I wouldn't crash. Despite my efforts though, I just couldn't get it out of a tail spin, the wings and tail being thoroughly jammed. The best I could do was to angle it into the forest I saw ahead, or at least I thought it was a forest, and hope for a soft landing. With the G-force of the plane pushing down on my chest, i felt black out before, to my utter helplessness, the jet crashed and landed into the unknown forest that surrounded me.
