The Lost Pony: Misty on Earthby Movingtarget ProductionsChaptersChapter 1: The beginning of it allChapter 2: AwakeningChapter 3: On the Road AgainChapter 4: The DriveChapter 5: Welcome HomeChapter 1: The beginning of it allThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 1: The beginning of it all Y’know, life is weird in a way. Always either knocking you down haymaker style or letting you walk along. Or life throws a curveball at you occasionally, like what happened to me one rainy evening on Dremel Road in rural Virginia… Date: Tuesday, July 24th, 2025 Time: 19:42 Location: Middle of nowhere, Virginia Matt Fedrick was driving his 2007 Ford F-150 XLT down a back road in Virginia. The sky was gray with raindrops on the windshield, the road was a bit slick from a shower or 2, and the 28-year-old was listening to some newer country music while gently drumming along with the beat as the Midnight Black truck traveled down the hilly road. Matt glanced at a small My Little Pony figurine that he had glued onto the dashboard facing the hood, he then glanced at his fuel reading on his full OLED Gauge display, the thing reading, “21.4 MPG, 53 Miles to E.” “Great, need to get gas,” Matt grumbled as he approached a main road intersection with a small gas station around the corner. He hung a left into the station, drove to the 4-pump fuel island, and stopped the truck before getting his debit card out and putting it in the card slot. The pump didn’t recognize the card so Matt walked into the mart that was attached to the station. Once inside he took note of the male cashier behind the counter and a cooler of energy drinks. Matt walked over to the cooler and grabbed a 24oz can of Monster along with a same-size Red Bull before walking over to the register and setting the drinks down. “Good evening sir, is that all for you?” The cashier asked. “Hey, just these drinks and $100 on pump 3” Matt responded before taking out his card again. “Alright, your total is $113.05 this evening. And you can get a sandwich on the way out free of charge.” “Alright, thank you, man,” Matt said as he went back outside with goods in tow. Matt hopped back into his truck sometime later after filling his main and auxiliary tanks and cranked the engine, hearing the sound of 8 pounding pistons and the low whine of the turbocharger spooling up. After getting back onto the road, Matt continued down the quiet road, occasionally glancing at the speed which hovered at about 58 MPH. Matt hooked his beaten Nokia C110 up to the aftermarket touchscreen infotainment system and started playing his Spotify playlist, with an Eric Church song coming on first. After a while of driving, Matt noted that the truck was sliding occasionally so he reached down to the 4WD knob and switched to 4WD, he listens for the clunk of the transfer case engaging and leans back up once he hears it to keep his eyes on the road. He then notices something jump into the road and Matt slams on the brakes which puts the truck into a slide. He manages to swing his tail in the other direction to avoid the object in the road and he slides to a stop. Matt puts the truck into Park before getting out and rushing to the thing that has collapsed in the road behind him. What he saw was a blueish unicorn with pink accents and the coat looked pretty dirty. Matt gasped slightly, he knew exactly who this was and he knew he had to help this pony. And so, with a slight grunt, Matt lifted the pony up and carried it, no, HER, to the truck fireman style, he struggled to open the rear passenger door and he laid her down on the bench seat, wrapping her in a blanket as well. He then shut the door softly and got back in the truck. After ensuring that his new cargo was safe in the back, he put the truck in Drive and headed for the highway. About an hour later… Matt merged onto Interstate 64 and set his cruise to 65 before taking a sip of his Red Bull, and then glancing at the rearview mirror at the sleeping pony in the back seat which he had to admit was adorable. He then resumed his playlist at a much lower volume so as to not wake the mare. After about an hour of driving, Matt took note of the time and yawned, he then took note of an exit coming up that had a Super 8 nearby. Though he hated Super 8 with a passion, it was the closest hotel to him and he figured he would suck it up for a night. And so with a flick of the blinker, Matt slid over to the exit lane and took the exit, turning right onto the road and turning left into the hotel parking lot. After paying another 100 bucks and receiving his keycard, Matt walked out of the lobby and got back into the idling truck, driving to a spot closest to his room and parking. The truck sounded the well known Ford tone as Matt turned off the truck and turned the headlights off. Matt got out of the truck and opened the rear Driver’s side door, hauling out the still knocked out pony and shutting the door. Matt then took her inside and put her on one of the beds before pointing his key fob out the front door and locked the truck, enabling the theft alarm. After closing the door and locking it, Matt went into the bathroom to take a shower. While doing so, he began to think about the unicorn on the bed. “How the hell is this possible?” Was his first thought, “How is it that my favorite pony from Gen 5 suddenly appears in this world, only for me to rescue her from the middle of the road in Virginia of all places?” Was his next thought. He pondered for a bit then he said to himself, “Why, why is it Misty Brightdawn of all ponies needs to have this experience?” He finished showering and dried off, putting back on the same clothes from earlier. Matt then looked at his phone which read 23:54 on the lock screen. Turning off his phone, Matt laid down in the other bed and turned off the light, mentally preparing for what might come in the morning. Author's Note I am back after like a year. I will say this, please go easy on me as I am a bit rusty with writing. I will probably restart RiE again but updates for this story and the RiE will be spotty at the very least. Anyway, thanks for reading and keep calm and drive on folks! Chapter 2: AwakeningThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 2: Awakening Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2025 Time: 09:21 Location: Super 8 motel by I-64 in West Virginia Matt woke up the following day with his back hurting a bit from the uncomfortable bed, he reached for his phone on the nightstand and turned it on, noting how slow the phone was booting. Matt then sat up and stretched, looking over to Misty, who was still asleep on the other bed. He then got up and went to the mirror, noting that he should shave as he hated having facial hair. So after turning on the small flatscreen TV by the minibar and switching to the local news, Matt unlocked the front door and went outside to get breakfast and his travel pack of shaving tools. Misty groaned a bit as she woke up from her multi-hour sleep and looked around, she started to panic a bit when she realized that she was not at the Crystal Brighthouse or Opaline’s lair, but in what looked to be a hotel room with things like a small TV, a wall width mirror next to what looks to be a bathroom, and the front door. But what caught her eye was the TV which was displaying what looked to be a news station, but instead of something like ZBN, the bottom bit said 59 News, with the headline saying something about a phone call scam in Wyoming County. “Wait, where am I?” Misty asked herself. Just then, a beep and clack came from the front door, the door slowly opening to reveal a bipedal creature who had a small bag with the word Phillips etched onto it in one hand and an odd cellphone in the other. Both pony and human made eye contact, both yelped in surprise with Misty falling off the bed and Matt falling out of the still open door and he took a spill on the pavement, bag and phone falling to the ground and hitting the concrete walkway. Matt was the first to regain his bearings and pick himself up off the pavement, he slowly entered back into the room to find Misty stuck in an awkward position on the floor and was struggling to get up. “Hang on, let me help you.” Matt said while slowly approaching Misty. “How do I know that you won’t hurt me?” Misty asked in a serious but scared tone. “If I wanted to hurt you, I would have a long time ago. And I wouldn’t hurt anyone anyways, so could you at least let me help you up? I’ll explain anything you want to know after. I promise that.” Matt said while putting his hand on his heart to show that he means every word. That seemed to work as Misty stopped moving around and let the human help her up off the floor. “So I should start by introducing myself. My name is Matt Fredrick and I am what is called a Human” Matt said while sitting on a bed. “Nice to meet you Matt. My name is Misty Brightdawn, I’ve actually heard of your kind from my friend Sunny Starscout.” Misty said while holding her hoof out to shake, which Matt shook politely. “Quite interesting, I assume you have quite a few questions. But for now, you should probably get washed up first, we have a long ride ahead of us and we need to vacate the room by noon.” Matt said before suddenly remembering that his phone and bag were outside and he rushed to get the 2 items, when he came back inside, he saw that his phone was toast and said, “God fucking dammit,” quite loudly before realizing his mistake, “Sorry Misty, I tend to use profanity often, I will try to dial it back some.” “I understand Matt, but you don’t have to adjust how you speak just because I’m here. But may I ask what happened? You seem upset.” Misty asked, walking over to Matt. “When I fell, I dropped my phone and it hit the pavement hard enough that the screen shattered and I can’t get a display. Hopefully I can get a new phone on the way.” “I have never seen a phone like that, what is it called?” Misty asked curiously. “This phone would be the Nokia C110, a budget phone from Nokia released like 2 years ago last month” Matt explained. “We have a similar brand called Ponkia and they were known for making high quality phones” Misty said while remembering what Pipp had told her when she got her phone, she then remembered and found her phone in her pocket (which nobody including me knows where ponies stuff their phones) and she powered it on, and it managed to come to life, though it was not receiving any bars which annoyed her. “Nice phone, maybe we can get it to work here.” Matt said while picking up his shaving bag and going over to the mirror to shave. “You’re willing to do that for me? That’s very kind of you Matt. I’m gonna go wash up, I am a total mess.” Misty said before going into the bathroom and closing the door. About 15 minutes later, Misty stepped out of the bathroom and she saw Matt watching the TV and she trotted over to see what he was watching, what was on the screen was the weather for the place they were near and then the image zoomed out to reveal an odd land shape that did not look like Equestria and then she asked the important question. “Matt, where am I?” “I wondered when you were gonna ask that, you are near a town called Beckley which is in the state of West Virginia which is the country called the United States. So basically, you’re in a whole new world.” Matt said, bracing for what might come next. “So there is no way for me to get back home?” Misty asked, looking like she was about to burst into tears. “I don’t know. But you can bet your ass that I will do whatever it takes to get you back home.” Matt said to comfort Misty, which worked as she ran up to him and hugged him while whispering, “Thank you” Matt hugged the pony back. He was determined to get Misty back home no matter what. And he was gonna try really hard to do it. Author's Note And Chapter 2 is out. I'm impressed with how quickly this gained traction. Fun fact: the title was made with a bit of help from the famous Bing AI and I polished it. Fun fact 2: the phone mentioned in the story is a phone I actually own IRL, also the Ponkia bit was a blast to think up, if I wasn't in the library on a AIO in the computer lab, I would have been laughing my arse off. Fun fact 3.1: I spent 20 minutes looking around the I-64 corridor on Google Maps looking for a town with a news station which is why it's 59 News out of Beckley, West Virginia. Fun fact 3.2: The Phone Call scam for Wyoming County is a legit issue that was covered by 59 3 days prior to the writing of this chapter. Note: I was also fighting with Grammarly on certain pony words for a while. And that's your edit ladies and gents, I will have a new chapter out soon. Stay safe out there folks! Chapter 3: On the Road AgainThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 3: On The Road Again Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2025 Time: 11:41 Location: Super 8 motel by I-64 in West Virginia After Matt and Misty had their moment, Matt looked at the clock on the TV which was displaying America’s Morning Headquarters on The Weather Channel, the time displayed 10:41 CT to which Matt translated that it was 11:41. “Alright Misty, we should get ourselves put together for the trip, we got about 20 minutes until the motel kicks us out,” Matt said before getting up and turning off the TV, “I can sense that you have a question. Shoot.” “What is the popular method of transport in this United States place?” Misty asked, wondering how they were gonna go anywhere. “Grab that bag by your bed and I will show ya,” Matt said, witnessing Misty use her levitation magic to get the duffel bag. Matt opened the door and led Misty outside to his truck which was parked between a blue 2010 Tesla Model S and a Lariot colored 2006 Ford Expedition, waiting to hear her reaction. “These strange vehicles remind me of Izzy’s scooter and the Trolly in Maretime Bay, what are these called?” Misty asked. “These are called Automobiles, better known as a Car, short for Carriage as these are basically self-propelled carriages, just the body and frame are either aluminum, steel, Carbon Fiber, or Fiberglass. I can tell you more about how these things manage to operate when we get on the road if you want.” Matt said while fumbling with a latch on a body panel for the box which revealed a storage compartment once it was opened up. He then placed the duffel bag in the compartment before closing and locking the latch. “Yes, please! I’m quite interested in how these work, is this black one yours?” Misty asked as she watched Matt do his task. “Yes, it is, my very reliable truck,” Matt said before opening the driver-side door and cleaning out the front seats before climbing out to see Misty going over to the passenger door. He was about to tell her to give him a second before her horn lit up and tugged the handle gently, opening the door slowly and climbing up with a bit of effort. Matt giggled a bit before getting back in and shutting the door with a thud. Misty doing the same. “Okay, let us learn how to buckle up as it is federal law,” Matt started with Misty nodding, “First you take the belt from the side like this,” Matt said and pulled out his, Misty did as well after a moment of looking, “Then you take the metal tongue and click it into the holder, then let go of the belt.” Matt said as he and his passenger did that at almost the same exact time, “Now, I am going to start the engine that powers this thing, it will sound loud at first but it is completely normal. Ready?” “I guess…” Misty said nervously. Matt fiddled with something under what Misty thought was the steering system before Matt popped back up and put the key in the ignition which started the Ford chime, Matt turned the key a bit and the screen on the infotainment lit up with the Ford Performance and Built Ford Tough animations before showing what looked to be a GPS with a message popping up that read: FM, 101.5Mhz. Matt then turned the key a bit more and the chime came back for a minute, then Matt turned the key once more and a rumbling sound came from the engine as the Turbocharged V8 started up, Misty could see that Matt had let go of the key and he had put his hand on a large lever attached to the steering system and moved it down 1 click, with the screen showing the camera feed of behind the truck with 2 lines that faded from green to yellow, to red. Matt then backed the truck out of his parking spot before bringing the lever down 2 clicks before turning the wheel left and heading towards the exit, stopping at the lobby to drop his keycard off before getting back into the truck and getting on the highway. Matt gave Misty a short version of the history of the automobile as they drove up 64, transferring to I-77 at an interchange to continue north and Misty started the long-awaited conversation after noticing the figurine on the dashboard next to the dashcam. “So what is that little toy that is next to that camera thing?” Misty asked. She was surprised when Matt touched a button with 3 triangles and pulled into the breakdown lane. “I’m just gonna cut to the chase. You’re a fictional character in a TV show that is loved by many on this planet. How you are actually here is beyond me.” Matt said, waiting for Misty’s reaction, but what he got actually surprised him. “Thank you for your honesty, Matt. I’m happy that you told me everything, and that you are so willing to help me get back to Equestria. However I must ask, how did the makers of this show know that we ponies exist?” Misty asked. “They don’t, nobody knows that you exist. We all think your race is fictional, but I know now that is not the case. I’m also very surprised that you handled this news so well.” Matt said. “I knew you have no reason to lie, while the fact that I am a fictional character in this world is very shocking, I know that I should be expecting random surprises.” Misty said as she put her hoof on Matt’s shoulder. “That’s fair. Now that that is over with, let’s get rolling.” Matt said before getting back on the road. The next few minutes were silent as Misty observed all the signs and other vehicles that were on the 6-lane highway. She then heard Matt fiddle with the radio and a song came on over the Bose speaker system to which she listened as the 2 continued on, crossing into Ohio a moment later. Author's Note Here you go guys, another chapter. I'm still getting back into the swing of things and I will say, I ain't doing too bad. I shall go find other things to do for a while. MTP out. Chapter 4: The DriveThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 4: The Drive Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2025 Time: 13:35 Location: I-77 North. 10 miles north of Marietta, Ohio. Misty stared out the window as the truck cruised along 77 North, watching all of the sights as they flew by, trees, billboards, exit signs, overpasses, basically all of the things she had never seen before, she was watching. She then looked over at Matt, who was setting an address on the GPS and setting it. “What are you doing Matt?” She asked. “Well, my phone is messed up and I need a new one. So I set the Nav to a phone shop that is authorized by my carrier so I can buy a new phone. Actually, when we stop for food, I want to try something with your phone if you don’t mind.” Matt said. “What do you want to try?” Misty asked, cocking her head a bit. “I want to see if your phone is compatible with a SIM card from the US. It seems to be compatible with the Wireless Charging pad and USB-C charging options as your phone is on the Wireless pad.” Matt said while checking his mirror to change lanes. “Sure. Speaking of food, Sunny had told me that humans are omnivores, am I correct?” Misty asked, changing the subject. “That is correct. Thankfully, Federal laws ban certain meats from being sold, so it’s mostly beef, chicken, fish, and pork that’s sold at most fast food places. A trend recently has been vegan food that looks like it was made with meat, you can give it a shot if you want.” Matt said before looking over at Misty, who was listening intently. “It’s quite interesting that you humans have thought of many different foods. If the others were here, they would be surprised.” Misty said before looking down, becoming saddened. She then felt Matt’s hand pet her mane as he calmed her down, she actually let out a little moan as she leaned into it, enjoying the pets. “Now I can confirm that you ponies are fucking adorable, cuz you just proved that to me.” Matt said which made the duo laugh. Matt saw a sign for an upcoming exit with an Arby’s attached to a Pilot truck stop about 20 minutes later and he glanced over at Misty, who looked at Matt. “What?” Misty asked, slightly confused. “Nervous. I found a place to get food, but it’s attached to a truck stop. It’s pretty packed with 18 Wheelers at this time of day.” Matt said. “Why is that?” Misty asked. “Truckers don’t like driving on the highway during the day when the dumbasses behind the wheel of smaller cars are out and about. Most will sleep or rest during the day if the schedule allows it.” Matt replied, remembering what a cross-country driver told him once at a rest stop on I-40. “That actually makes a lot of sense, trucking must be tedious.” “I haven’t done trucking myself, though I am certified and have my Comercial Drivers License (CDL), but from what I’ve heard, it is.” Matt said before getting on the exit ramp and stopping at the light. Cut to Matt pulling the truck into the Truck parking area because there was no parking up front as half the lot was closed for sealant. He looked around for a spot before getting guided into a spot partially occupied by a bobtailing Western Star 57XE. Matt shut off his engine before getting out and going over to the driver of the fairly nice rig. “Hey man, thanks for letting me borrow the extra space.” Matt said to the driver. “No problem, I saw you circling the lot and figured that you might fit in front of my truck.” The male driver said, shaking Matt’s hand. Just then, the sound of hooves on the pavement came from behind the gentlemen, Matt got slightly nervous as he heard Misty approaching the 2. “Is that-?” The driver managed to get out before Matt interrupted. “Yes, yes it is. This is Misty, she’s riding with me.” Matt said. “Thank you for being kind to let us stop here sir.” Misty said as she stood by Matt. “Yeah, no problem. My name is Connor by the way” The trucker said. “I’m Matt. Nice to meet you, Connor.” Matt said before his belly rumbled. “Tell you 2 what, I’ll buy us lunch and you can do what you need to do here, the service here is slow as shit.” Connor said, leading the 2 inside the station of the Pilot. Misty was hit by many new sights and smells and she started scanning the isles as soon as they got inside. Matt stuck with her so she didn’t get into trouble and he knew that this stop was about to get expensive, not including getting fuel in the primary tank of the truck, he kinda laughed to himself as he watched Misty explore the convenience store and pick out lots of snacks using her magic. He got himself a few things, which were a few sodas and a couple of Rip It’s from a cooler. After giving the self-checkout a minor stroke, Matt ended up paying a total of $73.65. They then met up with Connor outside who gave them their meals, Matt getting a Smokehouse Brisket and Misty getting a Farm Fresh sandwich without meat. As the 3 ate, Misty asked some questions about different things in this world, which Connor and Matt were able to answer easily. After wrapping up their lunch, Matt put the snacks in the truck with Misty’s help and they said goodbye to Connor as the F-150 drove off. Matt merged back onto 77 and checked the time to Canton, Ohio which read: 1hr 15 min, 83.8 miles. Matt switched the radio from FM to Sirius XM and flipped through the channels to find something with a song by DMX coming over the stereo. Misty started eating a pack of Skittles she got while Matt nibbled on a Heath bar he got as the 2 continued the drive to Canton. Matt parked the truck in front of the Total by Verizon store a while later and he looked over to Misty who had fallen asleep. He got out of the truck and went into the store, coming out with 2 phones 15 minutes later. One was a new ASUS ROG gaming phone for him and a Samsung Galaxy S22 for Misty. Matt put his SIM card in the slot of the ASUS and paired his phone to the infotainment system. He then set the GPS to put him on US-30 as he was not dealing with the Turnpike. He then set off, turning off the radio to let Misty sleep. As Matt drove down 30 West, he wondered how Misty got sent to Earth in the first place. His determination to get her home grew as he went through different scenarios in his mind as he drove into the late afternoon sun. Author's Note Another one has been done. I gotta stop lol. Fun Fact: the ASUS ROG Gaming Phone is a legitimate device that ASUS built. It is still in production today and it is powerful from what I saw. And before someone gets on my case for short-changing Misty's S22, The ROG phone costs $800 USD right now on ASUS's store while the S22 Ultra 512GB model costs $1,380 USD on Samsung's website. So Matt has a cheaper phone than Misty. I shall now go do other things. Bye bye Chapter 5: Welcome HomeThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 5: Welcome Home Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2025 Time: 17:28 Location: Rudolph Rd. South of Bowling Green Ohio, 1.5 Miles North of Rudolph Ohio Misty woke up after a while on a sofa which was odd, considering that she fell asleep in the passenger seat of Matt’s truck. She sat up and took a look at her surroundings which included a white entertainment center with a black box that was a bit tall on a shelf below a large TV, an impressive surround sound system with speakers placed behind the couch, a bar under the TV, and 2 speaker towers on either side of the entertainment center. Moving away from that, she noticed the kitchen, a small bathroom, the front door, a stairwell, and a few random bits of furniture, her ears twitched as she heard footsteps on the stairs and she turned to see Matt coming down the stairs holding an open laptop in one hand and a phone with RGB lights on it. “Hey Matt, where are we?” Misty asked as she got off the couch. “Oh, hey, we’re at my home. We got here about an hour ago.” Matt said as he set the devices on an end table. “You have quite a nice place, what are the 2 devices you have? They look different from back home.” Misty said as she looked at the laptop which displayed the wallpaper that was a picture of Matt standing next to a red vehicle. “Laptop’s a 2022 Hewlett Packard Pavillion 15 Laptop. Powering this piece of aluminum and plastic is an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 mobile chip with Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. Stock memory is 12GB of DDR4L RAM but I upgraded to 32GB fairly recently. Wait, did you actually understand all of that?” Matt looked at Misty. “I did get a bit of it. The specifications sound powerful. What’s the phone?” Misty asked, smiling. “ASUS ROG Gaming Phone 6 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 APU chip and 18GB of memory. I got you a new phone too.” Matt said before going over to a shelf and taking out a black box that said S22 on the top. He opened the box and gave the phone to Misty “What’s this phone?” Misty asked as she used her magic to hit the power button and peel off the plastic protections. “Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. About as powerful as my phone but it comes with a stylus on the bottom.” Matt said as he showed her how to deploy the pen. After showing Misty the basic functions of her phone by showing them on his, Matt picked up the HP and opened Edge. A YouTube tab popped up and started playing a Mainly Facts Askredit video. He opened a new tab and typed in Google Account. He navigated to the account page and clicked his profile picture which displayed “Matt Fredrick, CassTheRedEscort@gmail.com.” he clicked on a plus icon under the account, and a new page opened which asked for a new email to be inputted. Matt then handed Misty the laptop and told her to make a new account for herself. Misty was on the couch with the laptop in her lap, thinking about how to customize her account. She already had her new email which was “MistyBrightdawntheUnicorn@gmail.com.” and she wondered what to put as her profile picture, she already had put in legal info like birthdate and name. She used the webcam to take a picture of herself and set it. After doing so, she read the note Matt put on the bezel which told her 2 more websites to visit. She put in the first one which led her to the Microsoft account creation page which she rinsed and repeated for Microsoft then Samsung. After that, she powered on her S22 and logged into the accounts for both Google and Samsung, then she took note of the time. She closed the laptop lid and went to the kitchen where she found Matt reading a book and sipping on tea. “Hey Misty, you done with setting up?” Matt asked, putting the book down. “I did, what are we gonna do for dinner, Matt?” Misty asked. “We can get takeout as I need to go to Costco in the morning.” Matt replied as he stretched and put his tea in the microwave. Matt got his keys and led Misty out the back door, seeing the different kinds of cars Matt had. There was the truck she rode in, a red sedan, the red wagon from the picture which was under a canopy, and a white 18-wheeler. “So, you know of the F-150, the red sedan is my ‘07 Ford Crown Victoria that I bought from a PD auction in Toledo, the white truck is a 1982 Ford Aeromax that I bought off a friend, and finally, the wagon is my first ever car, a 1993 Ford Escort LX. She has served me well. She broke down a couple of years ago and I can’t find the parts to fix her.” Matt said with a bit of a sad face, which broke Misty’s heart a bit as he seemed to be quite attached to the little car. Misty noticed Matt get in the Crown Victoria and she did the same. Once settled in, Matt started the engine, backed out of the driveway, and drove off, making a Right turn onto US 6 and exiting onto OH-25 North, Driving into Bowling Green. Misty looked around as they drove through the south end of town and onto the north end, pulling into a Burger King in front of a run-down mall. After getting a meal for the 2, Matt drove the long way back to his house, showing Misty most of Bowling Green. “I can officially say this, Welcome Home Misty.” Matt said as they pulled back into their driveway a bit later. After a few hours of eating and getting a tour of the house, Misty yawned. “Tired?” Matt asked. “Yeah, where’s my room?” Misty asked and Matt led him to a spare bedroom with some sheets and a blanket, Misty took them and went into her room, “Goodnight Matt, thanks for everything you’ve done for me so far.” “You’re welcome Misty, sleep well,” Matt said before going into his own room and laying in bed, “I think I’m in love.” Matt said before going to sleep. Author's Note This one was without a doubt, rushed. I apologize for that. The emails I used in this story are made up and most likely don't exist. I shall go and do other things now.

Matt hopped back into his truck sometime later after filling his main and auxiliary tanks and cranked the engine, hearing the sound of 8 pounding pistons and the low whine of the turbocharger spooling up. After getting back onto the road, Matt continued down the quiet road, occasionally glancing at the speed which hovered at about 58 MPH. Matt hooked his beaten Nokia C110 up to the aftermarket touchscreen infotainment system and started playing his Spotify playlist, with an Eric Church song coming on first. After a while of driving, Matt noted that the truck was sliding occasionally so he reached down to the 4WD knob and switched to 4WD, he listens for the clunk of the transfer case engaging and leans back up once he hears it to keep his eyes on the road. He then notices something jump into the road and Matt slams on the brakes which puts the truck into a slide. He manages to swing his tail in the other direction to avoid the object in the road and he slides to a stop. Matt puts the truck into Park before getting out and rushing to the thing that has collapsed in the road behind him. What he saw was a blueish unicorn with pink accents and the coat looked pretty dirty. Matt gasped slightly, he knew exactly who this was and he knew he had to help this pony. And so, with a slight grunt, Matt lifted the pony up and carried it, no, HER, to the truck fireman style, he struggled to open the rear passenger door and he laid her down on the bench seat, wrapping her in a blanket as well. He then shut the door softly and got back in the truck. After ensuring that his new cargo was safe in the back, he put the truck in Drive and headed for the highway. About an hour later… Matt merged onto Interstate 64 and set his cruise to 65 before taking a sip of his Red Bull, and then glancing at the rearview mirror at the sleeping pony in the back seat which he had to admit was adorable. He then resumed his playlist at a much lower volume so as to not wake the mare. After about an hour of driving, Matt took note of the time and yawned, he then took note of an exit coming up that had a Super 8 nearby. Though he hated Super 8 with a passion, it was the closest hotel to him and he figured he would suck it up for a night. And so with a flick of the blinker, Matt slid over to the exit lane and took the exit, turning right onto the road and turning left into the hotel parking lot. After paying another 100 bucks and receiving his keycard, Matt walked out of the lobby and got back into the idling truck, driving to a spot closest to his room and parking. The truck sounded the well known Ford tone as Matt turned off the truck and turned the headlights off. Matt got out of the truck and opened the rear Driver’s side door, hauling out the still knocked out pony and shutting the door. Matt then took her inside and put her on one of the beds before pointing his key fob out the front door and locked the truck, enabling the theft alarm. After closing the door and locking it, Matt went into the bathroom to take a shower. While doing so, he began to think about the unicorn on the bed. “How the hell is this possible?” Was his first thought, “How is it that my favorite pony from Gen 5 suddenly appears in this world, only for me to rescue her from the middle of the road in Virginia of all places?” Was his next thought. He pondered for a bit then he said to himself, “Why, why is it Misty Brightdawn of all ponies needs to have this experience?” He finished showering and dried off, putting back on the same clothes from earlier. Matt then looked at his phone which read 23:54 on the lock screen. Turning off his phone, Matt laid down in the other bed and turned off the light, mentally preparing for what might come in the morning. Author's Note I am back after like a year. I will say this, please go easy on me as I am a bit rusty with writing. I will probably restart RiE again but updates for this story and the RiE will be spotty at the very least. Anyway, thanks for reading and keep calm and drive on folks!
Chapter 2: AwakeningThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 2: Awakening Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2025 Time: 09:21 Location: Super 8 motel by I-64 in West Virginia Matt woke up the following day with his back hurting a bit from the uncomfortable bed, he reached for his phone on the nightstand and turned it on, noting how slow the phone was booting. Matt then sat up and stretched, looking over to Misty, who was still asleep on the other bed. He then got up and went to the mirror, noting that he should shave as he hated having facial hair. So after turning on the small flatscreen TV by the minibar and switching to the local news, Matt unlocked the front door and went outside to get breakfast and his travel pack of shaving tools. Misty groaned a bit as she woke up from her multi-hour sleep and looked around, she started to panic a bit when she realized that she was not at the Crystal Brighthouse or Opaline’s lair, but in what looked to be a hotel room with things like a small TV, a wall width mirror next to what looks to be a bathroom, and the front door. But what caught her eye was the TV which was displaying what looked to be a news station, but instead of something like ZBN, the bottom bit said 59 News, with the headline saying something about a phone call scam in Wyoming County. “Wait, where am I?” Misty asked herself. Just then, a beep and clack came from the front door, the door slowly opening to reveal a bipedal creature who had a small bag with the word Phillips etched onto it in one hand and an odd cellphone in the other. Both pony and human made eye contact, both yelped in surprise with Misty falling off the bed and Matt falling out of the still open door and he took a spill on the pavement, bag and phone falling to the ground and hitting the concrete walkway. Matt was the first to regain his bearings and pick himself up off the pavement, he slowly entered back into the room to find Misty stuck in an awkward position on the floor and was struggling to get up. “Hang on, let me help you.” Matt said while slowly approaching Misty. “How do I know that you won’t hurt me?” Misty asked in a serious but scared tone. “If I wanted to hurt you, I would have a long time ago. And I wouldn’t hurt anyone anyways, so could you at least let me help you up? I’ll explain anything you want to know after. I promise that.” Matt said while putting his hand on his heart to show that he means every word. That seemed to work as Misty stopped moving around and let the human help her up off the floor. “So I should start by introducing myself. My name is Matt Fredrick and I am what is called a Human” Matt said while sitting on a bed. “Nice to meet you Matt. My name is Misty Brightdawn, I’ve actually heard of your kind from my friend Sunny Starscout.” Misty said while holding her hoof out to shake, which Matt shook politely. “Quite interesting, I assume you have quite a few questions. But for now, you should probably get washed up first, we have a long ride ahead of us and we need to vacate the room by noon.” Matt said before suddenly remembering that his phone and bag were outside and he rushed to get the 2 items, when he came back inside, he saw that his phone was toast and said, “God fucking dammit,” quite loudly before realizing his mistake, “Sorry Misty, I tend to use profanity often, I will try to dial it back some.” “I understand Matt, but you don’t have to adjust how you speak just because I’m here. But may I ask what happened? You seem upset.” Misty asked, walking over to Matt. “When I fell, I dropped my phone and it hit the pavement hard enough that the screen shattered and I can’t get a display. Hopefully I can get a new phone on the way.” “I have never seen a phone like that, what is it called?” Misty asked curiously. “This phone would be the Nokia C110, a budget phone from Nokia released like 2 years ago last month” Matt explained. “We have a similar brand called Ponkia and they were known for making high quality phones” Misty said while remembering what Pipp had told her when she got her phone, she then remembered and found her phone in her pocket (which nobody including me knows where ponies stuff their phones) and she powered it on, and it managed to come to life, though it was not receiving any bars which annoyed her. “Nice phone, maybe we can get it to work here.” Matt said while picking up his shaving bag and going over to the mirror to shave. “You’re willing to do that for me? That’s very kind of you Matt. I’m gonna go wash up, I am a total mess.” Misty said before going into the bathroom and closing the door. About 15 minutes later, Misty stepped out of the bathroom and she saw Matt watching the TV and she trotted over to see what he was watching, what was on the screen was the weather for the place they were near and then the image zoomed out to reveal an odd land shape that did not look like Equestria and then she asked the important question. “Matt, where am I?” “I wondered when you were gonna ask that, you are near a town called Beckley which is in the state of West Virginia which is the country called the United States. So basically, you’re in a whole new world.” Matt said, bracing for what might come next. “So there is no way for me to get back home?” Misty asked, looking like she was about to burst into tears. “I don’t know. But you can bet your ass that I will do whatever it takes to get you back home.” Matt said to comfort Misty, which worked as she ran up to him and hugged him while whispering, “Thank you” Matt hugged the pony back. He was determined to get Misty back home no matter what. And he was gonna try really hard to do it. Author's Note And Chapter 2 is out. I'm impressed with how quickly this gained traction. Fun fact: the title was made with a bit of help from the famous Bing AI and I polished it. Fun fact 2: the phone mentioned in the story is a phone I actually own IRL, also the Ponkia bit was a blast to think up, if I wasn't in the library on a AIO in the computer lab, I would have been laughing my arse off. Fun fact 3.1: I spent 20 minutes looking around the I-64 corridor on Google Maps looking for a town with a news station which is why it's 59 News out of Beckley, West Virginia. Fun fact 3.2: The Phone Call scam for Wyoming County is a legit issue that was covered by 59 3 days prior to the writing of this chapter. Note: I was also fighting with Grammarly on certain pony words for a while. And that's your edit ladies and gents, I will have a new chapter out soon. Stay safe out there folks!
Chapter 3: On the Road AgainThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 3: On The Road Again Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2025 Time: 11:41 Location: Super 8 motel by I-64 in West Virginia After Matt and Misty had their moment, Matt looked at the clock on the TV which was displaying America’s Morning Headquarters on The Weather Channel, the time displayed 10:41 CT to which Matt translated that it was 11:41. “Alright Misty, we should get ourselves put together for the trip, we got about 20 minutes until the motel kicks us out,” Matt said before getting up and turning off the TV, “I can sense that you have a question. Shoot.” “What is the popular method of transport in this United States place?” Misty asked, wondering how they were gonna go anywhere. “Grab that bag by your bed and I will show ya,” Matt said, witnessing Misty use her levitation magic to get the duffel bag. Matt opened the door and led Misty outside to his truck which was parked between a blue 2010 Tesla Model S and a Lariot colored 2006 Ford Expedition, waiting to hear her reaction. “These strange vehicles remind me of Izzy’s scooter and the Trolly in Maretime Bay, what are these called?” Misty asked. “These are called Automobiles, better known as a Car, short for Carriage as these are basically self-propelled carriages, just the body and frame are either aluminum, steel, Carbon Fiber, or Fiberglass. I can tell you more about how these things manage to operate when we get on the road if you want.” Matt said while fumbling with a latch on a body panel for the box which revealed a storage compartment once it was opened up. He then placed the duffel bag in the compartment before closing and locking the latch. “Yes, please! I’m quite interested in how these work, is this black one yours?” Misty asked as she watched Matt do his task. “Yes, it is, my very reliable truck,” Matt said before opening the driver-side door and cleaning out the front seats before climbing out to see Misty going over to the passenger door. He was about to tell her to give him a second before her horn lit up and tugged the handle gently, opening the door slowly and climbing up with a bit of effort. Matt giggled a bit before getting back in and shutting the door with a thud. Misty doing the same. “Okay, let us learn how to buckle up as it is federal law,” Matt started with Misty nodding, “First you take the belt from the side like this,” Matt said and pulled out his, Misty did as well after a moment of looking, “Then you take the metal tongue and click it into the holder, then let go of the belt.” Matt said as he and his passenger did that at almost the same exact time, “Now, I am going to start the engine that powers this thing, it will sound loud at first but it is completely normal. Ready?” “I guess…” Misty said nervously. Matt fiddled with something under what Misty thought was the steering system before Matt popped back up and put the key in the ignition which started the Ford chime, Matt turned the key a bit and the screen on the infotainment lit up with the Ford Performance and Built Ford Tough animations before showing what looked to be a GPS with a message popping up that read: FM, 101.5Mhz. Matt then turned the key a bit more and the chime came back for a minute, then Matt turned the key once more and a rumbling sound came from the engine as the Turbocharged V8 started up, Misty could see that Matt had let go of the key and he had put his hand on a large lever attached to the steering system and moved it down 1 click, with the screen showing the camera feed of behind the truck with 2 lines that faded from green to yellow, to red. Matt then backed the truck out of his parking spot before bringing the lever down 2 clicks before turning the wheel left and heading towards the exit, stopping at the lobby to drop his keycard off before getting back into the truck and getting on the highway. Matt gave Misty a short version of the history of the automobile as they drove up 64, transferring to I-77 at an interchange to continue north and Misty started the long-awaited conversation after noticing the figurine on the dashboard next to the dashcam. “So what is that little toy that is next to that camera thing?” Misty asked. She was surprised when Matt touched a button with 3 triangles and pulled into the breakdown lane. “I’m just gonna cut to the chase. You’re a fictional character in a TV show that is loved by many on this planet. How you are actually here is beyond me.” Matt said, waiting for Misty’s reaction, but what he got actually surprised him. “Thank you for your honesty, Matt. I’m happy that you told me everything, and that you are so willing to help me get back to Equestria. However I must ask, how did the makers of this show know that we ponies exist?” Misty asked. “They don’t, nobody knows that you exist. We all think your race is fictional, but I know now that is not the case. I’m also very surprised that you handled this news so well.” Matt said. “I knew you have no reason to lie, while the fact that I am a fictional character in this world is very shocking, I know that I should be expecting random surprises.” Misty said as she put her hoof on Matt’s shoulder. “That’s fair. Now that that is over with, let’s get rolling.” Matt said before getting back on the road. The next few minutes were silent as Misty observed all the signs and other vehicles that were on the 6-lane highway. She then heard Matt fiddle with the radio and a song came on over the Bose speaker system to which she listened as the 2 continued on, crossing into Ohio a moment later. Author's Note Here you go guys, another chapter. I'm still getting back into the swing of things and I will say, I ain't doing too bad. I shall go find other things to do for a while. MTP out.
Chapter 4: The DriveThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 4: The Drive Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2025 Time: 13:35 Location: I-77 North. 10 miles north of Marietta, Ohio. Misty stared out the window as the truck cruised along 77 North, watching all of the sights as they flew by, trees, billboards, exit signs, overpasses, basically all of the things she had never seen before, she was watching. She then looked over at Matt, who was setting an address on the GPS and setting it. “What are you doing Matt?” She asked. “Well, my phone is messed up and I need a new one. So I set the Nav to a phone shop that is authorized by my carrier so I can buy a new phone. Actually, when we stop for food, I want to try something with your phone if you don’t mind.” Matt said. “What do you want to try?” Misty asked, cocking her head a bit. “I want to see if your phone is compatible with a SIM card from the US. It seems to be compatible with the Wireless Charging pad and USB-C charging options as your phone is on the Wireless pad.” Matt said while checking his mirror to change lanes. “Sure. Speaking of food, Sunny had told me that humans are omnivores, am I correct?” Misty asked, changing the subject. “That is correct. Thankfully, Federal laws ban certain meats from being sold, so it’s mostly beef, chicken, fish, and pork that’s sold at most fast food places. A trend recently has been vegan food that looks like it was made with meat, you can give it a shot if you want.” Matt said before looking over at Misty, who was listening intently. “It’s quite interesting that you humans have thought of many different foods. If the others were here, they would be surprised.” Misty said before looking down, becoming saddened. She then felt Matt’s hand pet her mane as he calmed her down, she actually let out a little moan as she leaned into it, enjoying the pets. “Now I can confirm that you ponies are fucking adorable, cuz you just proved that to me.” Matt said which made the duo laugh. Matt saw a sign for an upcoming exit with an Arby’s attached to a Pilot truck stop about 20 minutes later and he glanced over at Misty, who looked at Matt. “What?” Misty asked, slightly confused. “Nervous. I found a place to get food, but it’s attached to a truck stop. It’s pretty packed with 18 Wheelers at this time of day.” Matt said. “Why is that?” Misty asked. “Truckers don’t like driving on the highway during the day when the dumbasses behind the wheel of smaller cars are out and about. Most will sleep or rest during the day if the schedule allows it.” Matt replied, remembering what a cross-country driver told him once at a rest stop on I-40. “That actually makes a lot of sense, trucking must be tedious.” “I haven’t done trucking myself, though I am certified and have my Comercial Drivers License (CDL), but from what I’ve heard, it is.” Matt said before getting on the exit ramp and stopping at the light. Cut to Matt pulling the truck into the Truck parking area because there was no parking up front as half the lot was closed for sealant. He looked around for a spot before getting guided into a spot partially occupied by a bobtailing Western Star 57XE. Matt shut off his engine before getting out and going over to the driver of the fairly nice rig. “Hey man, thanks for letting me borrow the extra space.” Matt said to the driver. “No problem, I saw you circling the lot and figured that you might fit in front of my truck.” The male driver said, shaking Matt’s hand. Just then, the sound of hooves on the pavement came from behind the gentlemen, Matt got slightly nervous as he heard Misty approaching the 2. “Is that-?” The driver managed to get out before Matt interrupted. “Yes, yes it is. This is Misty, she’s riding with me.” Matt said. “Thank you for being kind to let us stop here sir.” Misty said as she stood by Matt. “Yeah, no problem. My name is Connor by the way” The trucker said. “I’m Matt. Nice to meet you, Connor.” Matt said before his belly rumbled. “Tell you 2 what, I’ll buy us lunch and you can do what you need to do here, the service here is slow as shit.” Connor said, leading the 2 inside the station of the Pilot. Misty was hit by many new sights and smells and she started scanning the isles as soon as they got inside. Matt stuck with her so she didn’t get into trouble and he knew that this stop was about to get expensive, not including getting fuel in the primary tank of the truck, he kinda laughed to himself as he watched Misty explore the convenience store and pick out lots of snacks using her magic. He got himself a few things, which were a few sodas and a couple of Rip It’s from a cooler. After giving the self-checkout a minor stroke, Matt ended up paying a total of $73.65. They then met up with Connor outside who gave them their meals, Matt getting a Smokehouse Brisket and Misty getting a Farm Fresh sandwich without meat. As the 3 ate, Misty asked some questions about different things in this world, which Connor and Matt were able to answer easily. After wrapping up their lunch, Matt put the snacks in the truck with Misty’s help and they said goodbye to Connor as the F-150 drove off. Matt merged back onto 77 and checked the time to Canton, Ohio which read: 1hr 15 min, 83.8 miles. Matt switched the radio from FM to Sirius XM and flipped through the channels to find something with a song by DMX coming over the stereo. Misty started eating a pack of Skittles she got while Matt nibbled on a Heath bar he got as the 2 continued the drive to Canton. Matt parked the truck in front of the Total by Verizon store a while later and he looked over to Misty who had fallen asleep. He got out of the truck and went into the store, coming out with 2 phones 15 minutes later. One was a new ASUS ROG gaming phone for him and a Samsung Galaxy S22 for Misty. Matt put his SIM card in the slot of the ASUS and paired his phone to the infotainment system. He then set the GPS to put him on US-30 as he was not dealing with the Turnpike. He then set off, turning off the radio to let Misty sleep. As Matt drove down 30 West, he wondered how Misty got sent to Earth in the first place. His determination to get her home grew as he went through different scenarios in his mind as he drove into the late afternoon sun. Author's Note Another one has been done. I gotta stop lol. Fun Fact: the ASUS ROG Gaming Phone is a legitimate device that ASUS built. It is still in production today and it is powerful from what I saw. And before someone gets on my case for short-changing Misty's S22, The ROG phone costs $800 USD right now on ASUS's store while the S22 Ultra 512GB model costs $1,380 USD on Samsung's website. So Matt has a cheaper phone than Misty. I shall now go do other things. Bye bye
Chapter 5: Welcome HomeThe Lost Pony: Misty on Earth Written by: Movingtarget Productions Chapter 5: Welcome Home Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2025 Time: 17:28 Location: Rudolph Rd. South of Bowling Green Ohio, 1.5 Miles North of Rudolph Ohio Misty woke up after a while on a sofa which was odd, considering that she fell asleep in the passenger seat of Matt’s truck. She sat up and took a look at her surroundings which included a white entertainment center with a black box that was a bit tall on a shelf below a large TV, an impressive surround sound system with speakers placed behind the couch, a bar under the TV, and 2 speaker towers on either side of the entertainment center. Moving away from that, she noticed the kitchen, a small bathroom, the front door, a stairwell, and a few random bits of furniture, her ears twitched as she heard footsteps on the stairs and she turned to see Matt coming down the stairs holding an open laptop in one hand and a phone with RGB lights on it. “Hey Matt, where are we?” Misty asked as she got off the couch. “Oh, hey, we’re at my home. We got here about an hour ago.” Matt said as he set the devices on an end table. “You have quite a nice place, what are the 2 devices you have? They look different from back home.” Misty said as she looked at the laptop which displayed the wallpaper that was a picture of Matt standing next to a red vehicle. “Laptop’s a 2022 Hewlett Packard Pavillion 15 Laptop. Powering this piece of aluminum and plastic is an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 mobile chip with Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. Stock memory is 12GB of DDR4L RAM but I upgraded to 32GB fairly recently. Wait, did you actually understand all of that?” Matt looked at Misty. “I did get a bit of it. The specifications sound powerful. What’s the phone?” Misty asked, smiling. “ASUS ROG Gaming Phone 6 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 APU chip and 18GB of memory. I got you a new phone too.” Matt said before going over to a shelf and taking out a black box that said S22 on the top. He opened the box and gave the phone to Misty “What’s this phone?” Misty asked as she used her magic to hit the power button and peel off the plastic protections. “Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. About as powerful as my phone but it comes with a stylus on the bottom.” Matt said as he showed her how to deploy the pen. After showing Misty the basic functions of her phone by showing them on his, Matt picked up the HP and opened Edge. A YouTube tab popped up and started playing a Mainly Facts Askredit video. He opened a new tab and typed in Google Account. He navigated to the account page and clicked his profile picture which displayed “Matt Fredrick, CassTheRedEscort@gmail.com.” he clicked on a plus icon under the account, and a new page opened which asked for a new email to be inputted. Matt then handed Misty the laptop and told her to make a new account for herself. Misty was on the couch with the laptop in her lap, thinking about how to customize her account. She already had her new email which was “MistyBrightdawntheUnicorn@gmail.com.” and she wondered what to put as her profile picture, she already had put in legal info like birthdate and name. She used the webcam to take a picture of herself and set it. After doing so, she read the note Matt put on the bezel which told her 2 more websites to visit. She put in the first one which led her to the Microsoft account creation page which she rinsed and repeated for Microsoft then Samsung. After that, she powered on her S22 and logged into the accounts for both Google and Samsung, then she took note of the time. She closed the laptop lid and went to the kitchen where she found Matt reading a book and sipping on tea. “Hey Misty, you done with setting up?” Matt asked, putting the book down. “I did, what are we gonna do for dinner, Matt?” Misty asked. “We can get takeout as I need to go to Costco in the morning.” Matt replied as he stretched and put his tea in the microwave. Matt got his keys and led Misty out the back door, seeing the different kinds of cars Matt had. There was the truck she rode in, a red sedan, the red wagon from the picture which was under a canopy, and a white 18-wheeler. “So, you know of the F-150, the red sedan is my ‘07 Ford Crown Victoria that I bought from a PD auction in Toledo, the white truck is a 1982 Ford Aeromax that I bought off a friend, and finally, the wagon is my first ever car, a 1993 Ford Escort LX. She has served me well. She broke down a couple of years ago and I can’t find the parts to fix her.” Matt said with a bit of a sad face, which broke Misty’s heart a bit as he seemed to be quite attached to the little car. Misty noticed Matt get in the Crown Victoria and she did the same. Once settled in, Matt started the engine, backed out of the driveway, and drove off, making a Right turn onto US 6 and exiting onto OH-25 North, Driving into Bowling Green. Misty looked around as they drove through the south end of town and onto the north end, pulling into a Burger King in front of a run-down mall. After getting a meal for the 2, Matt drove the long way back to his house, showing Misty most of Bowling Green. “I can officially say this, Welcome Home Misty.” Matt said as they pulled back into their driveway a bit later. After a few hours of eating and getting a tour of the house, Misty yawned. “Tired?” Matt asked. “Yeah, where’s my room?” Misty asked and Matt led him to a spare bedroom with some sheets and a blanket, Misty took them and went into her room, “Goodnight Matt, thanks for everything you’ve done for me so far.” “You’re welcome Misty, sleep well,” Matt said before going into his own room and laying in bed, “I think I’m in love.” Matt said before going to sleep. Author's Note This one was without a doubt, rushed. I apologize for that. The emails I used in this story are made up and most likely don't exist. I shall go and do other things now.
