private An Unexpected Trip to the Human World (Closed!)

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

 

Hey, you awake yet? Let me know when you and the rest of the ponies are ready to head out to the track. Afterwards, I think we might need to buy Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack some clothing or something.

Catherine woke up pretty early that morning and checked her phone. She saw the message from Jack and quickly sent a text back. Just got up. I hear Twilight and Rarity awake in the next room. We'll be ready in a couple hours. And ooh, clothes shopping? Can't wait. She then looked over at AJ and gently shook her. "Applejack? Wake up. We have to get ready."

@,

 

Arcane looked down at his fingers and nodded. "Yes... thats what i was thinking. I would have to use them all at once though. These don't feel as... well, magical. I guess you could compare this feeling to physical strength." He stood up and looked around the room. "But you are right, its late. Is there somewhere specific i am going to sleep? Or can i just choose a comfy spot on the floor" he joked. He obviously wasn't joking about wanting to know where he was going to sleep though.

Applejack was snoring a little, deep in sleep, but after Catherine's attempts to wake her she soon opened her eyes, yawning. "Good mornin', Cat," she said, stretching her arms. She then rolled out of bed and stretched some more, yawning again. "I slept like a log!" she said with a chuckle. "So what are we doin' today?"

"Awesome, thanks. We'll see you there."

 

Logan had been waiting in his car for Angie to finish packing up as he sent the message. A few minutes later, Angie stepped out of the room and made for the Charger. Logan climbed out and opened the door for her, waiting until she was seated before going back around to his side and climbing in. He starts the car and backs out of the parking spot, wheeling around until he can pull out of the lot, and leaves.

 

"How'd you sleep?" He asks Angie after a couple minutes of silence.

 

"Eh, pretty good. I guess. You?"

 

"Good enough. It's not like I haven't slept in a car before."

 

Angie shrugs, "I would have been fine if you slept in the bed with me, you know."

At Logan's look, she shakes her head, "Yeah, I know. You don't share the bed with someone you're not in a relationship with. Anyway, what's the game plan for today?"

 

Logan taps the steering wheel for a few seconds before responding, "We're on our way to the raceway now. After that, I think there's going to be some sort of shopping trip to get the ponies some new clothes, or something."

 

"Oh, fun. Shopping." Angie says, partially sarcastic.

 

 

 

"I think you're going to like Applejack."Angie says after a few more minutes of silence.

 

"What makes you say that?" Logan asks.

 

 

Angie shrugs, "You are both family and work oriented. You both have loyal dogs," she chuckles, "And she's pretty damn cute."

 

"Seriously, Angie?"

 

"Yes, seriously! I'm not expecting anything like that! I'm just pointing it out."

 

"... ... Right."

Then Charles began to send a text message to his other Cellphone that he give Rarity the other day, hope she can answer his text message and call him back too.

 

Hay Rarity, is Jack ready for us? TO head to the race? I just want to know since he not answer my cellphone and if he want to talk to me. Tell him to meet me at the IHOP for breakfast and later on when we in Wisconsin. I will treat you and your friends to a Girls night out my treat. So bye my sweet Rarity.

 

Once that was done, he got an e-mail form his Aol e-mail since he turn on his laptop computer and began to check his e-mail. Then it was form his boss of the NSA asking him to watch the President of the USA since he going to be at the race today and make sure nothing won’t happen to him. He sent the E-mail back and saying he will do it. Once he turn his computer off, then he went to get his 9mm and put it in his holster, take his wallet out, then take out $1,0000 From his safe as he put them into his wallet with his badge and then put the wallet in his pocket.

Then he left the Room while locking the door, heading downstairs and getting into his car then drove off to IHOP for breakfast.

Rainbow blew out a puff of weak air and got steadily back to her two arched feet. "Yeah. Awesome." Following, somewhat limply, behind Colette, she returned to the car, leaving the windy beach and its promise of open sky behind.

Her friends needed her. That's what Colette kept saying, whether she knew it or not. It was just like flight camp all over again. Rainbow wanted to fly deep down. Deep down she also knew that taking care of her friends--making sure this strange world hadn't hurt them--was the most important thing. She just felt a twinge of guilt to think of which one she really wanted more. What she would have traded for her wings, the only thing she'd had to go through life without losing.

It made her her hang her head in shame as she got into the back of the roaring carriage, and she collapsed, trying to sleep on the way back to Colette's house.

Twilight Sparkle seemed a bit annoyed at Rarity's comment about not making it back to Equestria, figuring it was just her regular drama.

"Rarity," she said to her, chuckling despite her slight annoyance, "Of course we'll make it back home! And I'm sure your botique, Sweetie Belle, and Opal are doing just fine. Why else would you doubt returning? I've escaped this world once, and I'm sure we can do it all again (OOC: provided Equestria Girls is canon/acceptable here)."

Twilight stretched a bit, and got out of bed.

"Don't you think we should check on Applejack and Catherine, Rarity?" Twilight asked Rarity.

Jack got out of bed, walked down to the hotel meeting room, and gathered with the rest of the crew for the pre-race team meeting, discussing race strategy and the like. After the 15 minute meeting concluded, Jack sent Catherine a message.

We just finished the team meeting. What time are you girls going to be ready? I'm trying to shoot for a 12 PM arrival, so I can do all the pre-race stuff, like autographs and the like. And I'm sure the ponies would have fun with it all; it's their first modern, human sporting event after all!

Clare took a deep breath, and began to explain the basics of the human world to the changeling. She found it quite difficult; after all, all this was familiar to her so it was difficult to imagine it being strange and new to someone else.

Tho, it's a good thing you asked me that question before you came accross the tons of books I have on murder and serial killers. Don't worry, I just like reading about them. I'm not going to try out anything I read. Let's see... I like to read, I like to surf the net and post on message boards. I love kareoke, tho I'm not the best singer in the world. I can at least stay in tune, tho.

 

"I can't read maps and I can't dance. I'm a super cook, if I do say so myself. I like to wear unusual clothes, which I find online and on market stalls. I cosplay whenever I get the chance; as well as the aforementioned Rainbow Dash outfit, I have a few more which are based off anime characters. Yes, I will wear those in public as I don't really give a damn about what some stuffed shirt thinks. I like to dye my hair and paint my nails different colours. I probably could stand to lose a few stone, but I couldn't care less about being some skinny stick.

Rainbow looked up at the low rafters and waved vaguely at Colette. "I think I'll just go out for a fl---uh, I'll just go run around." Going fast always helped to clear Rainbow's head.

After a few minutes of nearly tripping over herself on the hills around the house, though, Rainbow gave up on ever making her new, stupid legs precision instruments and gravitated back to Colette. "Hey, Colette? How fast that can that car go? Think maybe I could try driving it a little?"

Magneus rolled his eyes and searched for 'found a pony'. He didn't expect any promising results, but there were two or three links that looked like it might be of help to them. Two were blog posts and one was a topic in a music lovers forum. He read all of them, and it seemed they were in the same situation as he was. "Well call us lucky... Uh... Thing is, they are all the way over in the USA. Only way to get there is flying..." He leaned back in his chair and sighed. "I guess its our only option right now. First thing is getting all the ponies together in one place." 

 

Magneus signed up on the music lovers forum and sent a PM to the poster.

He looks back down at her, "Reading was something I enjoyed growing up, but I don't really have to much time for it anymore. I'm assuming 'the net' is referring to the internet, so I don't really have an opinion on that front.
