Dakota POV

5 days later

I awoke in a rather small hospital bed feeling sore and pretty cold. why do these damn doctors always have to blast the ac? is it cause of how hot they always look? opening my eyes, I was in a rather normal-looking room aside from gold trim and accents here and there.

I saw my clothes sitting in a chair a couple of feet away from me. I got up, disconnected myself from all of the different machines, and got dressed, making sure I had everything, I checked all my pockets. I still had my phone, chargers, earbuds, mints, wallet, and even my gun. after recalling what happened, I was shocked by the fact of where I was. I had been teleported into the land of Equestria from the TV show My Little Pony. With the extensive knowledge, I have about the show, I found out that I was also saved by none other than Princess Celestia and Twilight sparkle when I made a rather sudden and somewhat destructive entry into their world. I was about to leave but as soon as I opened the door I was greeted by a group of doctors and nurses that were about to enter and they all were looking at me with wide eyes that had a mix of fear, nervousness, and just flat out shock. "Um, why are you all looking at me like that? do I got something on my face?" I said jokingly trying to lighten the mood. one of the nurses almost fainted at the fact that I could talk. "Uhh...sir you should go back into your room. We don't know if you're still hurt." One of the doctors said as I noticed that one of the nurses disappeared around a corner for some reason. "I feel fine. I doubt there is anything else wrong with me then what you fixed on me." I said. "That may very well be because the medicine we gave you is still in your system." one of the pony nurses said to me.

Not wanting to test my luck and try to fight with them about it, I did as they said and went back into the room and closed the door. deciding to kill some time, I pulled out my phone, put my earbuds in and listen to some music.

The hospital staff had come to check on me every hour just to make sure I was doing alright. I even tried to make small talk them and confirm my suspicions of where I am and just to get to know them a little more. I would tell them about my life and they would tell me about theirs. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 12:10 pm when one of the nurses came in and told me that Princess Celestia would like to speak with me and told me that she would be here in about 10 minutes. That gave me a little bit of time to make sure I look decent before she arrived. looking at my reflection in a nearby window. Even though I was dressed casually I still looked rather nice in A pair of cargo pants, a T-shirt with a vest, and a hat with glasses. I still had 5 minutes left before she arrived so I decided to play a game on my phone but as I was about to click on the one I wanted to play, I noticed something unusual. My phone battery was still at 100 percent as well as I had all 5 bars of service and I was even connected to the internet. upon seeing this I clicked on safari and typed youtube into the search bar and it actually loaded. shocked by this I just continued looking at my phone in disbelief. "fucking pony magic" was the only thing I could think of as to why I had an internet connection.

I was snapped out of my confusion as I heard I heard a knock at the door. "Door's open" I yelled out. "she's here for you" the nurse whom I learned was named red heart said to me. "Okay. I'm ready for her." I replied. nodding her head, she backed out and a minute later, entered Princess Celestia. Even though I had seen her in the show, she was even more breathtaking in real life. She had a pure white coat of fur, deep magenta-colored eyes, a flowing pastel rainbow-colored mane and tail, a massive set of wings folded to her sides, and a long sharpened horn protruding from her forehead.

"Hello there." she said to me. "Hello princess. it's a pleasure to meet you." I replied while bowing. "please rise, there is no need for that." she said. rising from my bow, I introduced myself to her and got to talking with her about everything that has happened and answering any questions she had and asking any questions I had. Our conversation carried on back and forth for about an hour as we told each other more about our lives and things we had in common. It finally came to an end at around 1:15 but Celestia still had one thing left to say. "if you don't mind me asking, what was that unusual carriage like object that you showed up to our world in?" I immeadetly knew that she was talking about my truck. "You mean my truck? that was what you saw me in." I told her. "After you brought me here to this hospital, What did you do with my truck?" I asked with some concern in my voice as I loved my truck greatly and took great care of it and had even finished installing a second engine in the bed.

"I had it brought it back here to the palace for examination a day after you were hospitalized. We haven't tried to take it apart because of how complex it is and didn't want to end up damaging something important on it." Celestia replied which made me breathe a sigh of relief. I asked her if she could take me to see it so I could make sure the damage wasn't too severe. She agreed to take me to my truck. She told me it was being kept in a storage building at a train station on the other side of canterlot. A carriage was waiting for us outside of the hospital. I let Celestia enter first then followed suit and entered behind her. Once we were both inside, We set off for our destination. The ride was only about 20 minutes long but with all of the ponies in canterlot stopping to look and point it felt longer because I did not like all of this attention I was getting. Once we arrived at the station, Celestia took me towards the building where my truck was being kept. Once we were inside I saw a whole bunch of scientists and royal guards all over the place with them examining my truck. The guards looked at me uncertainty while there lab coat wearing companions just looked on with curiosity. "I believe this belongs to me." I said out loud to no one in particular while walking over towards my Ford. "How exactly does it work?" I heard Celestia say. "I'll show you. hop in" I replied while opening the passenger side door for her. Upon opening the door, i heard the nice sound of the door chime as I got in stuck the keys in the ignition. Walking around the front to get in my side, I took a quick glance at the damage. It wasn't too severe, I could probably bang it out later since I paid to have titanium reinforcement bars installed and a roll cage. The driver side of the truck however, was scraped up and the mirror was gone, the windows were cracked, and my suspension was messed up from the crash. getting in on my side, I looked over the gauge cluster to make sure everything was in working order. Once the glowplugs were hot enough, I started it up and listened to the Powerstroke engine rumble and roar to life as clouds of black smoke quickly blasted out of my exhaust stacks. "Oh my, I've never seen anything like this before." Celestia said next to me. "If you think just starting the engine is amazing you should see the other stuff I've done to it. Care for some music?" I asked her. "I wouldn't mind something to listen to." she replied.

Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I connected it to the charger and proceeded to play a tune that reminded me of home. Before I knew it I found myself singing along as Celestia just smiled while the kicker solo X18 subwoofers underneath the backseats continued to pump out some nice music. I also noticed that some of the guards and lab coat ponies were also swaying slightly to the music. Before long, Celestia started singing as well since im assuming she learned to guess the lyrics. Once the song ended, I noticed that the red warning light on the NOAA radio was still illuminated as well. pressing the up arrow button I noticed that a tornado warning was issued for Stafford before I was ripped from Earth and deposited into Equestria. Celestia noticed this and asked what I was doing. I told her about the veritable superstorm that was hitting my area and explained what an emergency alert and what the emergency alert system was. I even went as far as to play an eas scenario that one of my buddies made.

After another hour or so of explanations and questions, we finally wrapped things up and were about to leave until Celestia asked me something. "I hope you don't me asking this, but where will you stay after leaving?" she asked me with some genuine concern. "I suppose I could just sleep in my truck and travel from town to town and work some jobs for a while until I have enough money to buy a decent house." I replied but Celestia decided otherwise. "That won't do at all. I would feel better if you had a nice place to stay at all times without having to do back-breaking labor. I would like for you to stay with me at the castle and I could help you find a good-paying job within the city." she said more with a demanding tone. "Well if you insist, I can drive back and follow your carriage back to the castle and get settled in." I said. That seemed to make her happy and she agreed.

Getting everything packed up, the scientists went back to the castle while the guards got into formation alongside the carriage. I offered some of them to ride in my truck if they didn't feel like walking and surprisingly, they did. 3 of them got in and I showed them how to put on the seat belts for their safety. After the warehouse doors were opened, I turned the key all the way and listened to the loud rumbling of the 7.3L Powerstroke engine. Now came the hard part of backing out of the warehouse and it's hard because my rear window is almost completely obscured by the second engine that I have yet to test in a vehicle other than the one it was designed for. I had to rely solely upon on the backup camera and my side-view mirrors to back out without hitting anything. Once I was out, we were off.

It took longer to get back to the castle since there were more ponies out and about now than there earlier. looking at the clock I found out why, midday lunch rush. There were ponies of all 3 tribes out and about getting their shopping done, seeing their friends, getting something to eat, and trying to sell stuff but every last one of them stopped what they were doing to stare at us as I drove by. Thankfully there weren't a whole lot of nobles out to insult and mock me for existing. A small group them, however, decided to jump out in front of me, forcing me to slam on my brakes and hit the horn. "You must be really fucking retarded to go and jump out in front of me like that you jackasses!" I yelled out the window at them "Silence ape! you will show us respect. You are not welcome here. Go back to the jungle which you came from and don't come back!" one of them said. "alright but let me ask one thing sir douchebag, How often to you get physically assaulted?" I simply asked waiting for a response. "That's none of your business." he growled. "Well ok then, because I got a batton with your name on it." I said as I locked the doors and pulled out my collapsable batton and swung it out the window and brought it across his face. I pressed the accelerator to roll coal on the group of assholes as soon as that one dickhead hit the ground. After that, it was clear that they were pissed as I drove off to catch up to Celestia's carriage leaving them behind in a cloud of black smoke.

It was about another 5 minutes before we got back to the castle. Once we were there, I turned off the engine and allowed the guards to hop out of the truck but before I went inside, I noticed that my bag was still in the back and grabbed it before heading in.

Celestia showed me to the room I would be staying in and told me that some tailors would be coming by within the hour to take my measurements to make me some new clothes. In the meantime, I decided to take a look around the room. First thing I noticed was how large the bed was. If I had to guess, I would assume that it was a California king size bed. There was a dresser made out of velvet and had a lot of drawers as well as a mirror on top of it. there were two nightstands on either side of the bed. There was a bathroom opposite the bed as well. Going in to check it out, I flipped the light switch on and it was a big bathroom. there were a shower and a bathtub sitting next to each other. It had two sinks with their own individual mirrors. And finally, there was a toilet in a sort of stall with a shelf sitting next to it stocked with different toiletries. Turning off the light and walking back out I noticed that there was also a fireplace next to the bed. I'm not sure how I missed that though. I decided to take my shoes, hat, and sunglasses off and take a nap for a bit.

1 hour later

*Knock Knock Knock*

I was woken up by knocking on the door. getting up and letting out a yawn, I opened the door to reveal the tailors standing there. "Hello, you must be the group that will make some clothes for me in the near future, correct?" I asked. "Indeed sir, may we come in?" one of them asked. "Of course. I'm not gonna stop you from doing your jobs. come on in." I let in the group of mares and let them get to work while making small talk with them as well, Telling jokes, gossiping, and even talking about everyday life. After about 20 minutes, they finished up and left. celestia told me that dinner would be ready at 7:15. looking at my watch I saw that it is 4:30. Deciding to kill some time, I looked through my bag to see if I had my laptop. Sure enough, I did. Pulling it out along with my JBL speaker, I decided that I would listen to some music and try to sing along to some rap songs. Not surprisingly, just like my phone, my laptop was also connected to an unknown wifi network with access to the internet and a constantly charged battery. I didn't complain about it though, I just selected a song and hit play.
