6:30am

I was almost done getting ready for school, I had just finished putting everything in my bag and put in the backseat of my truck. I just had to grab my keys, preheat the glowplugs and start her up. After about 2 minutes I turned the key and listened to the spluttering of the Diesel engine in my new ford. After the engine was started I pulled off the curb and was on my way to school.

It was roughly a 10-minute drive from where I lived considering I was taking the backroads to avoid rush hour on the main roads and avoid some cops that could be sitting and waiting to catch me. It was only 6:35 and it was still storming very hard. because of an electrical problem within my truck, the original radio was fried so I replaced it with a NOAA weather radio. upon approaching a red light, the radio started blasting its loud and deafening warning alarm notifying me of an update to the severe storm. the storm had combined with others and had formed a squall line that had stalled out over my area. I was pulling into the school and couldn't see more than 20 to 30 feet in front of me even though I had turned on my auxiliary lights.

I could hear storm sirens in the distance but as I was about to turn into a row of parking spots, a massive lightning bolt struck a tree next to me, causing it to fall. I floored the accelerator and jerked the steering wheel to the right to avoid the tree hitting my truck but at the same time, I also had to swerve to avoid hitting another vehicle that was coming right at me. I immediately spun out losing control of the vehicle and flew off the hill but what happened next shocked me entirely. A bolt of lightning hit the ground in front of me and stayed there. I thought I was good as dead once my truck got close enough for the lightning bolt to arc to my truck but when it did hit something happened that I wasn’t expecting. I opened my eyes to see a mix of white, purple, and blue colors spiraling all around me as I was in a very big state of shock and confusion.

It looked as if I was in a wormhole of some kind from a sci-fi movie. Just as I thought I was dead, I was flung out of the wormhole and my speedometer was reading that I was doing more than 140mph. I noticed something strange and even a little bit unsettling. Wherever I was appeared to be a town but what really had my attention was the fact that there wasn’t a single cloud in sight. The houses looked like they were from medieval times with stone walls, thatched roofs, and doors. But what really startled me was the fact that I appeared to no longer be in Virginia anymore, probably even on my own planet.

I saw that the inhabitants of this town were not human. But rather they were cartoon-like ponies with bright and colorful manes, tails, and coats and had some pretty big eyes. I was immediately snapped out of my thought process as I felt the left side of my truck lift up off the ground. Instinctively, I tightened my grip on the wheel and slammed on the brakes but it was too late. I soon found myself flipping over into the air and landing almost perfectly only to sideswipe part of a building and begin rolling multiple times before finally landing on my side and smashing into a tree.

I couldn’t feel my legs or my back and I could feel blood trickling down my face as I struggled to stay awake and not pass out but it was useless. My head hit the steering wheel and I could hear the horn blaring as I saw what looked like two unicorn Pegasus hybrid things rushing over to my truck right before I blacked out.

Twilight POV
20 minutes earlier

I was in the process of testing out a new teleportation spell that could allow for large objects to be teleported long distances without the use of multiple short-range teleportation spells. Princess Celestia had asked me to run test trials on the edge of ponyville near the everfree and came along to see the results for herself.

I had been practicing for a week now and had gotten pretty good at it despite it being such a complex spell and told the princess about the process I’ve been making and she came to see it first hoof today.

I began to concentrate my magic onto teleporting a rather small, destroyed house out of ponyville that was beyond repair. Everything was going according to plan until I lost my concentration and it all went horribly wrong.

Instead of teleporting the building away, I instead teleported what looked like a carriage without harness’s at the front and had a lot of lights attached to it and some sort of tub attached to the back with two pipes sticking up out of it. it also had some very bright and white lights in the front along with some dimmer amber lights on the top and sides and it had red lights in the back

The object came speeding out of nowhere and flipped into the air and landed almost perfectly only to hit part of a house and begin rolling only to land on its side before it slamed into the front of a tree. It started making a loud noise after hitting the tree. It now had a pair of flashing amber lights and red lights in the front as well.

“Twilight there is something in there. It looks badly injured. Come on we have it to help it!”

Princess celestia immediately shouted to me before we both started running towards whatever that thing was. It hard darkened windows so I couldn’t see inside very well but once I got closer I noticed that it had some sort of unusual type of doors on it. I climbed on top of it since it was now on its side pulled the handle on the front left door and it opened. Inside was a creature unlike anything I had ever seen before; it had no tail, only a small patch of hair on top of its head, it wore lots clothing, it’s face was flat and had two small eyes that were closed, only 2 legs, and what looked like arms that ended in some sort of claws.

“Be careful, we don’t know what this thing is or if it’s dangerous. We have to be Cautious when trying to get out to avoid worsening its injuries.” Celestia said.

Carefully, we both used our magic to try and pull it out but was being restrained by some sort of strap. It ended in some sort of clip that protruded out from the seat it was sitting in and had a red button. Pressing the button released the strap and retracted back. We gently laid it down on the grass and figured out what to do next

“Stay here with this creature twilight. I’m going to get help. If this creature wakes up then try to keep it still. I’ll be back as soon as possible.” Celestia said to the younger alicorn.

I decided to get a closer look at this unusual ape-like alien. As I looked at its clothing, I noticed it had a lot of pockets. Curiously I decided to see what it had in those pockets. In the first one, it looked like a mess of plastic string connected to a black brick. In the second there was a little clear box with little white cylinders in it and had the words “tic tacs” written on it. And in the third, there was an unusual black box no bigger than a brick and looked to made of aluminum and glass and had a picture of an apple with a bite taken out of it on the back and had the words "iPhone SE" written on it, but most interestingly was when I brought it up to examine the strange object, it light up. It had the time written on it with an image of this creature standing next to another one with their arms on each other's backs and were holding what looked like black sticks with smaller black sticks poking out from different parts of it and had holes drilled in it halfway down and they both had a look of happiness on their faces, it wore a type of shirt that looked like it was made out of cotton and had the words "Diesel, I wash my truck with the tears of environmentalists" written on it with a skull and crossbones, it was wearing pants made from a strong durable material which I assumed was denim, it had some sort of wristband on its left arm, it wore what looked like shoes on its feet, it had a hat on that said "Alaska USA" on it, and had a set of mirrored glasses on its eyes, and finally it had a black vest on over its shirt.

“What are you?” I questioned out loud.

I was snapped out of my thought process as I could still hear a noise coming from the inside of the carriage like object that this creature arrived in and it sound like an unusal door bell type of chime that kept ringing. walking over to it cautiously. it had a lot of writing on it inside and outside. On the outside, it had words such as "Super duty, Turbodiesel, FX4 offroad, Powerstroke, platinum, limited, lariat, and king ranch". I got a better look inside of it and there was simmilar writing inside as well. I climbed in through a window on the roof that was open and there some weird music playing as well. There was the words Super duty written on what seemed to be the passenger side. There was buttons, switches, knobs, gauges, all sorts of different things inside. there was a wheel protruding out from a type of a column in front of the seat the creature was in and had in the center of it there was a blue oval with the word "ford" written on it. looking in the back I saw that there was a large bag with the words "Under armor" on it and a long strap. going over to the back, I used my magic to get it out and it was heavy. opening it up I saw that there was a couple of different books, binders, folders, and a smaller bag inside of it. pulling the books out first I decided to look through them a little bit. there were 4 books in total and each one had a different title. the first one said "woodworking" on it, the second said "geometry", the third one said "astronomy", and the fourth said "world history".

from the way the books looked, I assumed this creature was attending a school of sorts. I put the books and was about to look through the bag some more until I heard the flapping of wings and saw Celestia returning with a couple of guards and a carriage.

"Twilight I need you to help me load it into the carriage so we can transport it to the castle infirmary." Celestia ordered. doing as she said, I helped her load it's body into the carriage. after that, we were off to canterlot.
