I ran my car into Twilight's house...
The universe is a troll...
Load Full StoryNext ChapterHello, my name's Kevin Wright, and I...Well...I just crashed my car into Twilight's house...
In my defense, I could have sworn there was still plenty of road ahead of me when I got blinded by the lightning!
I suppose I should rewind, just a bit, I'm only monologuing my thoughts to myself like this so I can actually pull myself out of shock and figure out what to do now. Plus it's tons of fun and helps me actually focus in some weird probably not normal way.
ANYWAY, back to the point. What feels like a few minutes ago, I had been driving down some sort of road I wasn't all that familiar with. I was horribly lost, but my natural nervousness with talking to people, combined with the fact that there was and still is a horrible storm going on and it was near midnight, I wasn't about to even TRY to pull my car over and try to find someone to ask where I was. I was just waiting for the road to open up to SOME sort of store so I could hurry up and change direction. It is, or was Wednesday, which is when I have my weekly hanging out with my two best friends all day sort of thing, and I was feeling pretty bold with my driving for once. I was fairly certain I could save some time going down a different road than normal, thinking it would cut past the section that's under construction and-okay seriously why is THIS what I'm focusing my thoughts on? Is it the familiarity of the whole thing, or do I just become incredibly dull under stress? Maybe it's the four hours of sleep last night making me too tired to even mentally narrate properly?
Well, ANYWAY again right? Point is, the storm was getting pretty bad, I mean REALLY bad, flashes of lightning almost constantly, thunder booming so loud I wasn't even playing any more remixed and/or fan made MLP music in my car. It was also raining so much that the windshield wipers weren't doing a darn thing to change my sight, and I was starting to wonder why I was even using them. I had never driven through a storm like this before, which I could have sworn was just a light rain when I decided to take a new path home, and I was honestly completely terrified.
Unfortunately though, the fabric of the universe was going for a new record with how absolutely freaked out I could be in one night, and before I could even think of the phrase “This can't possibly get any worse” or some other version of the popular phrase, lightning started striking the ground all around me. I'm not going to lie, I slammed my eyes shut, covered my ears with one shoulder and one hand, and started screaming, my brain's attempt at assuming the fetal position while driving I suppose. Storms sorta freak me the heck out at half the strength this one was at, and combined with my rising nervousness of being lost, I guess my brain just snapped. I tried to hit the breaks as fast as I thought I could without possibly losing control of the car, and after a few seconds, my hearing and sight slowly came back to me, or I relaxed enough to open my eyes and uncover my ears, I'm honestly not sure which.
I took a moment to look around while slowly switching my foot back to the gas pedal, and began picking up speed again. After a solid minute of no more lightning or thunder, and the rain beginning to lighten up, I started to relax enough to thank the universe for letting me survive what I had been fairly certain was about to kill me, and then...
Then the universe decided to set it's trolling level to over nine thousand, and another great big blast of lightning hit the road right in front of me, and I went right back to my half driving, half fetal position form.
Then there was silence for a few seconds, and a really weird sort of semi-musical sound, which honestly made me think of the MLP:FiM theme song if played backwards with someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard, and I opened my eyes to see a random series of colorful flashes, and then everything turned back to normal.
Well, except for the fact that the car was now slightly diagonal, no longer on a road, and oh yeah, FALLING FORWARDS TOWARDS A GIANT TREE!!!
At this point, my brain threw out any attempt of proper driving, and I went full on fetal position mode, screaming as I heard the sounds of metal crashing into wood, and hoped that nothing would break through the windshield and kill me.
Once the screeching noises of possible death finally stopped, and I realized the storm and my screaming were the only sounds at the moment, I pulled myself out of the fetal position, and almost fell forward, the car apparently still in a semi-diagonal position.
So yeah, that was possibly a few seconds ago, or a few minutes, not sure really. I've been sticking my legs out against the floorboards in an attempt to keep myself in my seat, and idly noticing that the lights and radio and engine and such are all off and/or dead. I will say that this mental recap has helped calm my nerves some, so perhaps now I'll actually get out of this car.
Oh, and once I'm out, I should probably go and move Spike away from the front of my car, so that if it ever rolls forward or something in the near future, it won't hit him.
Yeah, that right there, seeing a figure sleeping in a tiny bed right in front of my car, and slowly realizing it looks exactly like Spike from my favorite cartoon show as the lightning flashes over head, and realizing that even though I thought I had crashed into a tree, it looks exactly like I'm in a house of some kind with all the bookshelves and such everywhere. THAT is why I'm thinking I crashed into Twilight Sparkle's library tree house thing. The fact that I'm probably crazy has not been lost on me, I'm just shoving it into a corner for now. I'll have a nice panic attack over my obvious mental break down later, for now, I'm going to move the human child or baby dragon or whatever away from my car before the universe decides to troll any more.
First thing's first, I put the car in park, set the parking break, and get my keys out, and try not to facepalm at the fact that none of that had any actual point. I manually unlock and open my door, and now for the fun part.
I unbuckle my seat bel-OH GOSH I'M FALLING! QUICK, DIVE OUT THE DOOR! OH GOSH WOODEN FLOORS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE! OW!
Okay. Okay. Okay. Get back up, come on, I can do it. Good. Okay so I'm back on my feet, now to grab the kid/dragon/possible figment of my imagination and get it somewhere that's safe, and try really hard to not think about how it slept through me crashing into its room.
My arms were about half a foot away from what I still saw as a sleeping baby dragon, when suddenly the door behind me slammed open, and I heard a gasp. I turned to look at the source of the noise, and saw an angry Twilight Sparkle. It was much easier to see her since her horn was glowing, but I still didn't notice the angry look on her face until after she shouted something along the lines of “GET AWAY FROM HIM!” and before I could apologize, or even question my sanity any further, the glowing around her horn sharply increased, and a purple, pinkish blast of magic hit me in the face, and sent me flying back on top of my car.
As I slowly rolled off my car and began to lose consciousness, the oddest thing happened.
I heard this song.
Since this will most likely be my last thought for the night...I just wanna say...Jerk move universe...Jerk move...
