Since no one made a story about a classic American muscle,I decided to make one for myself.

After Rainbow Dash found out that James Afton has a supercharged 1970 Dodge Charger,despite he didn't even had a driver license,he already driven it after the Mane 7 started at CHS.RD eventually told the girls about it and asked Afton to ride in his classic American muscle.

Afton's Car

Today,it is Tuesday,and after Rainbow Dash finished her science class,she ran down the hallways to the school's statue to meet with the other girls.

After she exited and ran to the statue,she is able to meet with them,and she said to them,

"Guys,you won't believe what happened yesterday !"

"What,got mad by a new student after you hurt his head ? We already know that.",Sunset replies.

"No ! It's just that,Afton got his own car !",RD said.

"Wait ? He does ?",Twilight asks her.

"Yes,he does ! I don't how he already got his licence ! We haven't got ours yet !",RD replied.

"Really Rainbow Dash ? It's difficult that someone at our age can get one.",Rarity added.

"Yeah ! It is !",RD reply to her.

"So can you tell us what kind of car does he drives though ?",AJ asks RD.

"He drives a Dodge Charger,but it's supercharged !",RD answers.

"Ooooo ! What kind of version he's drives ?",Pinkie asks her.

"It's a 1970 version !",RD answers to Pinkie.

"You mean that ?",Fluttershy asks RD as she points at the car.

"Yes ! That's the one !",RD added.

Then,Afton walks out of the school when he heard the Mane 7 were talking about his car.He walks over to them and ask them,

"Girls,are you talking about my car ?"

"Yeah,but I hate to ask you,how did you got your license earlier than us ?",Sunset asks him.

"No,I didn't have a licence yet,but I already started driving when I was in 8th grade,got it on my birthday.",Afton answers.

"Wait,so you basically got it from your b-day ? Didn't your dad should teach you some lessons so you can be experience ?", Twilight asks him.

"I am already experience with driving mate,I only learned it in a week and eventually I am already an experience driver,Sci-Twi",he said to her.

"Ooooooo ! But can we ride with you ?",Pinkie asks him.

"Why ?",he asks.

"Because we wanted to see you driving dude ! Please just let us ride with you !",RD said to him.

"Fine,but I only let 3 people in my car,so I'll have to choose 3 of you girls."

"Ooo ooo,pick me pick me pick me pick me !",Pinkie shouted.

"Hmmm.....I can already tell Rainbow Dash wanted to ride with me,so yeah,you can."

"Yes !",Rainbow shouted.

"And I'll choose Applejack and Sunset.",he said.

"Yee-ha !",AJ shouted.

"Huh,I guess so.",Sunset said.

"But I won't let you guys ride along with me right now,you're gonna have to wait.",he spoke to them.

"Cmon,when do you let us ride in your Dodge Charger ?",RD asks Afton.

"If you want to ride with me,meet me at around 9pm in the evening,right here.I usually drive my car during night times.",he said to them.

"WHAT ?!!!",the Mane 7 shouted.

"So you basically mostly drive during night times ?!",said AJ.

"Yeah,and I gotta go right now,I can't just literally stand here and talk to you guys.",he said to them.

Afton eventually walk towards his car,he got into it and starts his car before he go straight and turns left then drives away.

But as he continues to drive,in his thoughts,he said,

"Man,they really want to ride with me,huh.But hey,first time somebody wants to ride with me,not sure how smoothly tonight is gonna be,but we'll see."

Back at the school statue,Sunset suspected something about Afton,she asked them,

"Girls,do you think that he's a street racer ?"

"I don't know,but since his car is supercharged,maybe he is a racer.",said AJ.

"Who cares he's a racer or not ? Since me,Sunset and AJ got our permission from him,which means we can ride along with him in his very cool car !",said Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah,but we have to wait here until 9pm so we can get in his car.",Sunset added.

"Yeah,yeah.I heard ya !",said RD to her.

Author's Note

I only think Afton is 15 years old,but for the Mane 7's age,it's pretty complicated,you search on Google but it only gave you different ages,ranging 13-19,but if it's different ages,why the girls have same height in the series ? So I decided I think that they are also 15 years old.

Night Drive

It is now 9pm,Sunset,Rainbow Dash and Applejack are waiting for Afton to pick them up at the school statue.

But while waiting,RD said,

"Ugh,where is Afton ? He told us to come here and he still didn't show up !"

"Be patient sugercube,I'm sure he is coming right now.",Aj said to her.

Then,Afton eventually arrived.He rolls down the car window,and said to them,

"Alright,I'm here.Sunset,you and Applejack sit in the back while Rainbow Dash will sit right next to me.

"But how are we suppose to sit in the back ? It's a two door car !",Sunset added.

"Just fold the right-front seat and then you'll get in it.",Afton said to her.

Afton unlocks the right car door so the girls can get in his car.Then,Sunset opens the car door and folds the right front seat and she and Aj gets in the back seat.

After that,Sunset folds back the seat to its original position and Rainbow Dash finally gets in and sits in the front seat.She closes the door and said to Afton,

"Alright,we're in ! Now let's do this !"

"Ok,I'm just about to start !",Afton replies.

He shifts his shift stick from 1st to 2nd gear before he steps on the pedal and go straight then turns left.

A minute later,they arrive at Canterlot City-Midtown area.Then,Afton turns left to a road ramp that leads to the famous Canterlot-Midtown Expressway.

While driving on the highway,he starts playing a song from his phone on the holder,and he starts steps on the gas pedal very hard and shift from 3th to 5th gear as the speedometer reaches from 60 mph to almost 190mph and the meter rpm reaches the redline of 7000 RPM.

But while he's driving at this speed,RD shouted,

"THIS IS AWESOME !"

However,for Applejack and Sunset,they are pretty frightened right now because of the speed that Afton is driving at.Then,AJ screamed,

"Slow down ! You're gonna kill us all !"

However,he didn't listen to her as he continues to step on the throttle harder,shifting 4th and 5th gear time to time,blowing through dozens of cars for 3 minutes and 34 seconds until the song stops.

Finally,the song ended and Afton slows down but still cruising at around 70mph.Then,RD said,

"That was awesome dude ! We probably almost reached 200mph !!!"

"And almost got us in a very deadly car accident,you should slow down !",Sunset said to him.

"That's why I only drive during night times.",Afton said to her.

"So how long have you been driving here ?",AJ asks him.

"Ever since I got this car from day one,I've been driving on it for 3 years.",he answers.

"No wonder why you're very experienced.",Sunset added.

"Also did you know that this highway was actually going to be located in New York City ?",Afton asks the girls.

"Um,no.",Rainbow answered.

"Really ? A highway ? Who would built it in the 'Big Apple' ?",Applejack said to him.

"Well,it almost happened.Back in the 1960s,a proposal was made for a highway system for NYC,but it would've demolish all the buildings where the highway would route,it also would've accompanied with large buildings and a central hub,which it's similar to Canterlot-Midtown Expressway.",Afton replies to AJ.

"But why it wasn't built ?",Sunset asks him.

"The people of NYC protested against this plan,and eventually it was scrapped after that.",He replies to her.

"So why was this highway was built here ?",RD asks him.

"That's a good question.After the plan for the highway was scrapped,Canterlot City was having the worst traffic jams in its history at the time,with one lasted for 8 hours.So eventually,a demand for a highway system came,and the architects who designed the expressway for NYC,redesign the highway for the city,and it was approved by the city hall.But the new design didn't have the huge triangles and some transit systems,but they did kept the residential towers and central hub.",Afton said to her.

"That explains why there are those huge buildings are on both sides of the highway !",RD said to him.

"And can I ask you for this,why did you come at CHS ?",AJ asks him.

"Originally,a month after my birthday,my father already died from a car accident on this highway,then I dropped out of my old school 2 months later after his death.Since then,I didn't even go to school for a year because I just wanna shut everyone out of my life,until I decided to go to CHS,just want to study and hoping to find an answer.",Afton said to her.

"Well,I guess the answer is Friendship.",Sunset added.

"I guess your right,all I needed is Friendship,but please,we're driving.Breath.",Afton replies.

He shifts to 4th gear and then the exhaust shoot out a blue flame,and increase the speed to 150mph as he steps harder on the throttle.They continue to cruise on the highway for 1 hour,and even made some drifts at some corners,but it almost led Applejack to passed out but Afton eventually sent the 3 girls home around 10:30pm.

Author's Note

No joke,NYC almost had a highway for itself,you can search on Google for Mid-Manhattan Expressway,you'll know how close it is for approval,it would've been left thousands of people homeless,just for a highway system,but it's still not very outrageous compare to William Zeckendorf's Manhattan Airport,it would've covered 144 city blocks,more than the expressway.

Next Day

The next day,the Mane 7 meet up at the music room.In the room,Twilight asks Sunset,

"So Sunset,how was your ride with Afton, including Rainbow and AJ ?"

"It was not good at all,I was pretty traumatized after all of that,Applejack almost passed out,but Rainbow Dash is the only one who enjoys it though.",Sunset replies to her.

"Yeah ! It was crazy ! He almost got us kill in an accident because he drove at around 190mph,blowing through dozens of traffic,not to mention that he stepped on the throttle very hard !",AJ added.

"Really,Applejack ? Was he very aggressive while driving ?",Rarity asks her.

"Who cares he's crazy or not ? This made me think that I should get a licence for myself,and buy a car like his !",RD said.

"Hold on,I think that already confirms that he's a street racer.",Twilight added.

"Wait he is ?",Fluttershy asks.

"From the way he drove last night,I guess it's confirm that he's a racer.",AJ answers.

Pinkie eventually gasps,and said,

"We have a street racer in our school ! We need to everyone about this ! :D"

"Yeah Pinkie,but that's not gonna happen.",RD added.

"Why's that ?",Rarity asks.

"You see,when I was the last one to go home after Sunset and Applejack got home,when I got off,he said to me,"Don't tell anyone about what happened today,Rainbow Dash.",I closed the door and he droves away,but I was very reluctant though.",RD said to the Mane 7.

"But why he didn't told me and Sunset Shimmer ?",Applejack asks.

"I don't know,I guess this is only between me and him.",RD said.

"You know what ? Let's just forget about that.He's just a new student here after all,give him some time,so he can familiarize the new environment.", Twilight said to the girls.

"Uh-huh.",the girls said.

But outside,Afton passed by the music room and heard the Mane 7's conversation,but in his thoughts,he said,

"I guess I need to be familiarize with this new school,then maybe I'll have friends in a matter of days,that's why friendship is important to me right now,don't be alone.Hopefully the next days will be getting a lot better for me."
