(humanization as plot)

Fairhaven. One of the major hotspots for the underground racing scene, both at night, away from prying eyes, and during the day, amidst the bright lights and sirens of police cars. Naturally, you grew to like this town, and you quickly became either a local legend or menace, depending on which side of the badge you ask. There is little you can't handle on the road.

Despite this, nothing could prepare you for the arrival of six very strange girls...

I am starting to like this fic

I'm starting to like this story. Racing, mane six. What could go wrong?

PS Should I need to play NFS: Most Wanted 2012 to make the locations known to me?

PSS Why NFS Most Wanted 2005 is cover art? Just asking, you should've at least buy (Just suggesting) the Hero's DLC and get the BMV and do some awesome moves, or search it on the internet. Just asking.

I just Google searched "need for speed most wanted", and that was one of the results I liked best. One quick Paint edit later, that was made.
Also, while this does focus on MW 2012, there will be elements from all over the NFS franchise, and maybe even a few familiar locales...

And while knowledge of the places in MW 2012 isn't needed, it enhances the reading, and it's a great game anyway, so go and get it.

Right now.

I'm waiting.

This will not be a clopfic, by any means. However, if it's demanded enough, I might add a scene or two down the road

2495197 Actually, I downloaded the demo for Xbox, but I dont want to buy it. But if I had enough Microsoft Points, I'll buy it. I dont want it on PC, It might lag, havent got the latest or best graphics cards, etc. :twilightsmile:

Okay, this is epic. Please continue. Also in the next chapter, GIVE ME SOME SWEET ASS CARS, I LOVE CARS!!!!!!

Oh man, another promising NFS pony story!
But... the last ones I've seen always end up being abandoned in the darkest corners of the site. :applecry:

As I begin my enjoyment of this Fic, I hope the same terrible fate does not befall this story.

(And for dietys sakes, don't force it. That's the third worst thing that could happen to stories, IMO)

2508459
Need for Speed is my second favorite racing series. Considering the first is Burnout, made by Criterion, and the newer Need for Speeds are made by Criterion as well...
So yeah, don't worry about abandonment.

Also, Burnout 3 had the best racing soundtrack ever, and anyone who disagrees is a person with no sense of FAYST

2508964 Losing intrest, and troll stories.

Losing intrest and rushing/forcing are two different things.

A land rover? Were it not for it's passenger convenience for the story, I'd be challenging this guys car choice for recreational police pursuits.
- - - - -
:D It's more beutiful than I imagined!/It's not complete utter shit!

While this isn't doing anything absolutely story wise revolutionary, it is presenting the average devices with acceptable means.
I.E: Show up on new world for no reason, trust is a beverage served quickly for cheap, ect.

Frankly, I have not been disappointed, as clearly someone with competance is writing this.

The only hope I have is that "FML Insurance" company is included somewhere :3

*After Reading Chapter*
Ford GT! That's more like it! And wow, I think it can be agreed that Fairhaven's police force is very sub par, rivaling that of Palmont's police force in terms of uselessness. Seacrest and Rockport PD would be ashamed.

Now onto the story, things seem to be going swimingly in our "heroes" favor. Hopefully this doesn't go out of hand in terms of him getting so many breaks.

I'm curious if this is going to stay strictly to this guy's POV, or are we ever going to shift to the other ponies? Maybe even additional characters? Only the storys progression shall reveal.
Or if you, good author, are feeling generous in clearing this fog.

Last edit: Bring on teh sex!

Nice car choice mate! For a second I was thinking the car he chose was going to be like a Aston Martin V12 Vanquish or an Audi R8 FSI Quatro, maybe even a Mclaren MP4-12C for the win. But you chose well.:twilightsmile:

2508499 Gotta be sure about that.

Mostly, that phrase was mostly said by 'who gives a fuck' guys like racers and stuff.

2509442
You ever taken the Range Rover on a pursuit in the new Most Wanted? That thing's nearly a frickin' tank. You'll knock cops off the road left and right (though good luck getting away if you crash, like if you're blindsided by a SWAT van)

2521728 Well, no I haven't. Usually I just stick with the Mclaren Mp4, and that thing takes police out from just freakin tapping them if you hit police correct.

Plus, I'm not a big fan of slow police chases, which is why I haven't tried those slower cars.
But then those guys can't keep up :/

Damn i like the fact that you put it in Fairhaven for nfs most wanted

Good, after you had takin so long, I was gettin ready to go on a crusade to plant your limbs for my fencepost. :twilightsmile:
And is that a TF2 'Meet the Medic' refrence I detect?
----------
Error- "lots of people of Ford G- those cars."
I recommend it be fixed, as this latter half feels awkward. People of a group of Ford G? What?
----------
The pacing was going fine for the police chase, as it had to maintain an air of quick paced danger. Unfortunetly, it still kept going this speed when the two got back to the airfield place, so the latter half of the chapter felt rushed. Don't let my hunting of your soul deter your efforts, take the time.

On the plus side, nice introducing the best friend and mystery Seacrest racer. I ponder as to what may happen in the future relating to these two characters.
----------
Things run dfferently round these parts blue porsche newbie. Don't try pullin dat shite again, unless yo actually gonna do it right.

this guy dislikes changing channels doesn't he?

The race part with background music, :pinkiegasp:. So fitting, I knew you had that old Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) spirit. No offense, but Need for Speed (2012) sucks as ice.

And I'm looking forward for the next chapter.

In other notes, since the Mane Six knew the person was the Most Wanted, he's screwed (which is why I typed 'And I'm looking forward for the next chapter.'). Hope it end well, or else...

I think the seacrest racer may have done that less out of the goodness of his heart, and more that he wanted to get our 'hero' for himself.

That was a sufficient danger, the cops actually cornering our guy in the airfield, his home base. Way too close, I was starting to get concerned there.

My complaint this time around is that I hope this whole debacle this chapter wasn't a waste of time, I.E: It makes future refrence, and doesn't get the status of might as well not exist. Maybe, I dunno, somehow Rarity and Fluttershy trust the guy more, but that's really stretching it, seeing as how they fainted halfway through the chase, and all the guy did was confirm for them as well that he's a very wanted man. Doesn't really clear up things in that his crimes is something they shouldn't be concerned about.

The saving grace is going to be the seacrest guy, if this makes future refrence if they ever do actually communicate.

Maybe perhaps a Land Rover Defender 110 for the troop seats...more seating room.:raritywink:

So what you said about the Raptor reminded me of the trailer for Most Wanted. I figured if the Raptor can't go very fast then it makes a nice ramming type of vehicle from what was shown in the trailer. On a side note: maybe possibly an appearance of Jack from The Run?

"Welp, looks like we're gonna go for a ride," you say, shifting into drive. "Hang on, girls."

:rainbowderp::raritydespair:

An automatic BMW? WHY? WHY? WHY?

2765514
The way I see it, when you shift a car with manual transmission out of park or reverse, it counts as "drive"

2766518
There's no 'park' or 'drive' with a manual... not really. I've never heard anyone call the first gear 'park', that's all. I doubt anyone calls it that way.

2766571
Well, I know nothing about driving a stick, so yeah.

2767069
Reverse, first gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, fifth gear. Let go of the accelerator as you press the clutch pedal to the metal, change to desired gear and be gentle with the gas pedal while releasing the clutch. Not rocket science actually.

Some cars (I'm looking at you Mercedes) have even up to seven or eight gears.
Germans.Because there's no engineering like over engineering.

2787606
Petrolhead, my friend. Petrolhead is the correct term.

What's your dream car? please have some taste.

Hmm, the causal disregard to the police and for realistic vehicle damage makes me skeptical, but I'll give it another few chapters.

And when the Mane 6 are turned into people, why is Pinkie always the first one to comment on her, ah, balloons?

I almost forgot about this story. Please let the next chapter be longer and earlier:fluttershysad:

Expect the next chapter at christmas.
Yipee...

Afterthought: Maybe part of the issue in the lack of content is that you don't know were the story is going ultimately? Does the story end with the girls getting back to Equestria?

Maybe what you need is a story arc. Right now, the fic feels like a normal HiE, just taking place in NFS: Most Wanted 2012.
The problem with normal HiEs is that they go nowhere, and are uninteresting as a result.

For a story arc... how about word gets out that the police have just recieved an expiremental weapon, and what it does is devastating in a chase (Like, blows out all the tires, makes engine components explode, spontaneous evaporation of the gas in the gas tank.)
With this serious hardware working it's way into standard issue for interceptor units, many of the street racers agree that something must be done to get rid of it?

Seriously, I just made this up on the spot. My real point is: Do something. Anything works if you can make it fit snuggly. Just look at that crazy ass story "Human".

3046604
No, I know exactly where I want this story to go (give or take), it's just that I'm lazy as shit and prone to pissing about doing nothing.

3046744
...
*Facedesk*
Subconciously putting in stuff already there, nice...

3046786 About fucking time now i won't need to kick your ass on steam :twilightsmile:

2932167Yeah Jack Rourke. First playable character to have a last name in the series.

Soooo, Christmas? Darn that's gonna be awfully long :raritydespair:
Still, keep up the good work ^_^

3631686 When you're a street racer, this is actually a typical Monday, Tuesday and Friday, possibly Saturday if you're lucky.

3631977 True. But heck, even the legal ones are abit sketchy. Street racing was originally illegal, so i wouldn't be surprised if legal ones got caught up in their glory thinking they can be like the illegal street racers that they just get caught pitifully easily.
