Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Ok I’ve arrived at Equestria so I unload the tractor trailer and load all the trailers of food and stuff up. After hooking up to all the trailers I put her in first and start pressing on the accelerator. It must have been quite the sight a red peter built with a long train of trailers strung behind it, because there were ponies lined up on both sides of the road I was on. The sad thing is I could only go 30mph because of the fact the roads were dirt and occasionally cobble. After 1 hour of driving I come across a town. I proceed to pull over. Where I met a brownish older stallion.

“Hello, my name is Randomfastreader, what is your name?” I asked politely.

“Name’s Braburn, may I ask where you are heading?” Braburn replied In a southern accent.

“I’m currently on route to Ponyville and from there Canterlot. May I ask why you’re interested?”

“I’ve been wanting to go back to Ponyville for a while and you seemed to be heading in that direction. I was wondering if I could ride?”

“Sure, however do you have any food for sale around here?”

“Yah, we sure do we have tons of things, we have apples, and apples and more apples.” He replied enthusiastically.

“Ok” I replied “Where are they?”

“Here, the market’s this way follow me.”

As I got closer to the market I saw apples. Literarily there was nothing there but apples. So I had gotten ten of them and then realized that they did not accept raw gold as currency.

“Crud, Braburn, can you pay for these?” I asked

“Sure” he replied and he paid for them and we walked back to the truck.

I then proceeded to go around back of the first trailer and climbed in it to grab some materials. I grabbed some solar panels and some steel bars and the welder. I had never thought to add a fridge and solar panels to the truck but then realized that I would run out of diesel if I kept the truck running constantly. I welded the solar panels to the roof of the truck and hooked up the fridge to a battery bank and the panels. I then Proceeded to stock the fridge with the apples and finally proceeded to find Braburn again and tell him that we would be leaving come nightfall, which was only about two hours away. I then retired to the truck to rest.

Two hours later.

I was awoken abruptly with the sound of my alarm clock going off next to the sleeper section of the Peterbuilt. I groggily got up and proceeded to find Braburn with a purple mare with a horn.

He was talking in a hushed voice, “Now Twilight you have got to be kidding me you flew all the way from Ponyville in two hours just to meet this creature?”

“Yes,” she replied her voice was high pitched but not so high as to be squeaky.
I then proceeded to reply loudly enough that they could hear me while opening the cab door and walking out, “Twilight Sparkle what a great pleasure to meet you.”

She replied, “It is a pleasure to meet you too, may I ask if I can ride with you and ask questions while we travel?”

“Sure” I replied simply.
we then climbed into the truck. It was a bit awkward for the two ponies to climb up into the truck until twilight just picked Braburn up with magic and placed him in and then self-levitated herself in.

“Wow” she replied, “This is a nice carriage, but how do you pull it?” she asked.

“I don’t” I replied, “But before we get going could you close the door?”

The door proceeded to shut and I started up the engine.

Twilight proceeded to yelp at the sudden noise before I said “That sound your hearing is an engine it allows us to move. Now please attach the seatbelt or you may be bouncing around.”

Twilight had taken the shotgun seat and Braburn had taken the sleeper bed. I then proceeded to rev the engine a bit and shifted into first.

“Next stop Ponyville Estimated time arrival, unknown, I then realized that I actually did not know how far Ponyville was from here so I asked “Twilight how far is Ponyville from here?”

“About 150 miles” she responded.

“Ok so we will be there by morning, actually we should be there by midnight.”

“Wow how fast will we be going?”

“About 60 or higher if the road smooths out or I activate the aux suspension. Actually I’m going to activate the aux suspension.” I proceeded to flip a switch and there was a hissing sound and then the ride got much smoother. I proceeded to shift from first to second, then to third all the way up till I was at 16th. I then realized how dark it was getting outside and flipped another switch that turned on the headlights and then another that turned on the running lights.
We were steadily cruising at about 80 now when twilight asked, “So why are you going to Ponyville?”

“I actually need to go see Celestia.”

“Why?”

“Diplomatic things,” I said.

“Oh” she replied.

“Actually do you mind if I turn on some music?” I asked.

“I guess not” she replied warily.

“Ok” I replied I then proceeded to take my phone out of my pocket, plug in the aux cord into the phone from the truck, and I activated Spotify. And played this song (INSERT SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT EASTBOUND AND DOWN HERE!)
We sat there listening to my playlist for a good 4 hours and it was now nearing 11:00 PM.
