    • I ran my car into Twilight's house...
      An HiE/self-insert fanfic, a Brony teleports to Equestria during a storm and runs his car into Twilight's house. Hilarity and insanity quickly follow.

      39,474 words · 1,620 views · 94 likes · 10 dislikes

    Kevin Wright, a 21 year old human male and a huge fan of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, is teleported to Equestria during a horrible lightning storm in both worlds. Unfortunately for Kevin, he was in the middle of driving, and the first place he appears in Equestria, is in the air a few feet above and to the left of Twilight Sparkle's house. this is Kevin's mental narration during this event, and the random shenanigans that follow.

    My first fanfic which began due to me staying up way to late, eating too much sugar, and generally being insane. I've then decided to keep it up after the polite and positive reaction it seems to have received from people. Due to me still struggling with trying to write on a regular basis, and also because I'm going to try to write more than just this story at the same time, I can't really promise when this will update, or if it will ever even be finished (though I DO have an ending in mind, I just don't know if I'll ever get there). I appreciate any comments, criticism, and concerns you'd like to give, and I hope you'll give it a try despite it's questionable ability to end.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE: At some point ranging from September 2013 to September 2014, I may get called to serve a mission for my church for TWO YEARS, at which point this story will be put on Hiatus until I return. Again, I'd like to thank you for your time and I sincerely hope you'll check out this story.

    HELP: I'm still looking for ideas on what to use for the Cover Art, if anyone has any ideas or would like to draw something, I'd really appreciate it!

    Well, I admit I'm not sane now as I try to upload this, but hey, thought it'd be fun. Plus, once I get this out of the way, I'll be much less nervous about my other stories once I get them going, now that I know how the story submission goes and how everything works and such now!

    I hope at least someone gets a laugh out of this, if not, my apologies, but either way, have an awesome day! :pinkiehappy:

    So yeah, I just posted the second chapter. I didn't even really think I would be continuing it much, but I am having fun typing randomly!

    If anyone has any ideas on what I could throw in here to make things more amusing to everyone, let me know! :pinkiehappy:

    Of course he is! He's mastered the art of screaming in panic while driving!

    I have no clue how it'll end, I haven't really thought that part through, I HAVE however already made the next two chapters, which I'll be posting tomorrow and the day after, and I will say this: Things get better, and then a whole lot worse. :trollestia:

    >>900491

    I certainly will! I've been writing one chapter a day since I started this, I sorta can't help myself. It was just a random idea I typed up out of boredom one night to get my desire to write out of my system since I was too tired to focus on anything important but wanted to write too much to just let myself go to sleep. Then I thought I'd try to submit it to this site, just to kind of figure out how the site works as well as just to see if it would make anyone laugh. Next thing I know I'm typing a page or two every morning and every night, and laughing like a mad man while I do so! I still need to work on my other non MLP based stories though, and that MLP CYOA story I've had in my head for a while, but I'll get to them in between randomly typing up this story in a crazy half-asleep fashion!

    Okay, seems legit. I don't see any glaring grammatical errors, and overall a good story. Layout is a bit sketchy in my opinion, you might want to cut some of the paragraphs down to a smaller size.

    I'll be sure to work on the paragraphs. I have a hard time rambling, in real life, in text, and in stories! Just my personality I guess, people do say I tend to talk a lot and sometimes kind of fast whenever I'm excited, and I've been almost bouncing right out of my seat every time I write a chapter. :pinkiehappy:

    And every time I get a comment or favorite or thumbs up, but that's kind of not the point. :twilightsheepish:

    >>902894

    Ya know the episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen", or whatever the name of it is, when Twilight freaks out over the whole Pinkie Senses thing?

    The cuffs are part of the machine Pinkie was hooked up on during that episode for a short time. Assuming she slipped her hoofs out of them because of her warping reality powers, and assuming that near the edge of their hooves is roughly the same size as a human fist, I figured it'd be possible to slip your hands out of them provided you didn't mind the tight squeeze and risking cutting your hand on the metal...At least, that was my train of thought when I wrote that chapter shortly after waking up for the day after a five hour nap.

    >>902294

    I can't promise I won't go into cliches, there are a ton more than what I can keep track of, and I honestly don't know much about how most HiE fanfics go. I'm pretty much just writing whatever I think will move the story forward while being hilarious, occasionally at Kevin's expense. Let me know if there are any particular Cliches you want me to avoid, an I'll try my best to side step them.

    >>901834

    Thanks!

    I uh...Really dunno what to say at the moment other than thanks, but seriously, thanks!

    I'm going to have to politely decline that. As hilarious as that sounds, I don't think I could write it well.

    I read some light shipping here and there, but I don't think I could write it to save my life. I have no experience with relationship stuff, hahahahahah. :twilightsheepish:

    Again though, the idea sounds hilarious, so thank you very much for making me laugh. I think now I'm ready to go type up chapter five!

    Maybe I should also start working on some other stories too though in the near future, this was supposed to be a side project that I did while working on my main ones, but instead I'm working almost only on this, just because it's so much fun to write without over thinking everything!

    >>903931 Well cliches aren't ALL necessarily bad, though I myself would classify the good ones as tropes :P. The particular ones I guess that bug me are the ones you see in a whole bunch of HIE stories that make those stories seem formulaic.   As long as you keep up good characterization for your characters and don't turn them one-dimensional, I don't think youll have that problem.

    Oh, and throw in some cringe moments. I guess I'm mildly sadistic, but I love to see main characters get beat up emotionally/physically (in a comedic fashion).  Helps me empathize.

    Tropes eh? So I take it you're a fan of TVTropes.org as well? :pinkiehappy::twilightsmile::yay:

    I'll try my best not to make the characters one dimensional, characterization has always been a difficult thing for me. I'm always much better at explaining things like a history book, and a bit better if it's from my own kind of perspective (Though I suppose I'm doing the latter here, Kevin Wright is a shameless self insert. :scootangel::twilightsheepish::scootangel: ).

    As for cringe moments, I'm not sure how many there'll be. I don't want to spoil things, but you might have to hang in there for an extra chapter or two before any more physical harm or mental breakdowns occur...

    Chapter five has just been finished! I can't wait to show you all! I'm only restraining myself because I'm thinking it will work a bit better to post one chapter a day, that way I can write at a more relaxed pace and have a few chapters done ahead of time in case something happens where I won't be able to write for a while. If I post everything at once I'm likely to start procrastinating a ton on writing any more chapters...

    Maybe I shouldn't try to explain or develop a thought process for sending chapters in at two thirty in the morning. Heck, maybe I shouldn't have been working on a fanfic at two in the morning. I can't really remember what I just wrote. Here's hoping it's coherent and makes sense! :pinkiehappy:

    The only major problem with my whole laughing nigh uncontrollably at my work, is that I usually work til really late at night, and my job is to walk around a parking lot getting carts. This wouldn't be too much of a problem, but in the winter, when I'm wearing a black hoodie and other winter gear so that my face is covered up aside from my glasses which are always fogged by my breathing, and it's late and really dark and I'm laughing really loudly for no reason then run up and go "Oh do you  want me to take that cart for you?" to anyone I see almost done unloading groceries, well...People tend to look at you like :twilightoops: and slowly back away.

    Not to mention the time I forgot to wear my badge and vest, the only things signifying that I'm an employee there, and I just stood behind an old lady and patiently waited for her to finish unloading her groceries before speaking. I was still in my full winter gear that day, and apparently she didn't hear me coming. She jumped when I spoke and said she nearly had a heart attack. I just stood there like :twilightsheepish: and thanked them for the cart before walking off, and two seconds later started laughing uncontrollably again.

    My co workers have specifically stated that they want me to stop doing that, and I tell them I'll try, but thinking "don't laugh" just makes me think of things to laugh about...

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does stuff like that though! :pinkiehappy: and >>906812 about the lab thing, Kevin's mind is currently trying NOT to think of things that would freak him out, it'll hit him later when he's had a chance to think, and when Pinkie notices what exactly?

    First thought: Is Pinkie Pie gonna launch herself out of a cannon?

    Second thought: Is Pinkie Pie gonna launch KEVIN out of a cannon?

    Third thought: Kevin will probably just end up randomly in the way of the confetti cannon, and will get blasted in the face with tons of various decorative party supplies, and probably have to just stand still for a half hour afterward while Pinkie Pie runs around pulling decorations off of him and setting them up.

    Fourth thought: Man I could really use some cake right now...

    I can't do shipping, heck, I don't even know if I can get the mane six personalities down all that well, but we'll find out when I introduce them around chapter six or so. I was planning on bringing them in at chapter five but one of the only things I can remember when I wrote that chapter was that my brain went "lawls nope" to introducing them just yet and went down a bit more serious path near the end. :applejackunsure:

    As for starting a new paragraph when someone speaks, I suppose I'll start doing that around chapter six. I've separated the paragraphs a bit more than when I first typed them up, but it'll take me a bit of time to get into the habit of breaking my paragraphs up that much. It just feels REALLY odd whenever I break paragraphs like that during a conversation, and I've been slowly trying to get used to doing it during chapters three, four, and five, with some sporadic level of success.

    Thanks for the advice! I hope you enjoy the story! :pinkiehappy:

    I say VIRTUAL because the last time I said the above without that word, she actually jumped through the other person's monitor to give them a cookie. They weren't online for a good month, and then I got an angry message from them about how I caused Pinkie Pie to break their computer. They were thankful for the cookie though, and for meeting Pinkie Pie for all of like two minutes before she jumped back into the computer, so I didn't get sued or threatened or anything...

    Well, I think I'll be busy most of Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, possibly Wednesday and Thursday as well, though Friday looks pretty darn clear, and I only have one chapter written that hasn't been published here yet...So that means I'm only secured with my updates til Monday...

    Looks like Imma writing at least one chapter before I go to bed tonight...Gosh darn it I got work in like 10 hours...Eh, oh well. :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

    EDIT:

    Bleh, it's almost two thirty, and I'm only halfway through the sixth chapter. I'm going to go crash for now. With any luck I wake up in roughly six hours with just enough energy for an hour of writing, nine hours of cart pushing, and three hours of gaming with my cousin...

    I have a feeling I won't be finishing that chapter til probably Sunday afternoon, which really stinks. I'd like to finish it now, but if I stay up any later I risk probably crashing too long to do anything more than be a few minutes late for work and move around in a daze for the entire day. I kinda want to cut it off where it's at and call it a chapter, since I managed to reach roughly the same number of words as the first or second chapter, and I'm kind of at a pausing point, but I'm aiming to end this chapter at a certain point, so I'll probably just finish the other half later, and only post them in two separate chapters if something goes horribly wrong and I'm not able to finish it by Monday.

    >>911591 It certainly doesn't go the way I was expecting when I tried to type it. The chapter is noticeably more serious than the others in my opinion, but hopefully it has enough comedy to balance itself out, and if not, I'm sure the next chapter will.

    Speaking of which, since I actually woke up with enough time to type, I should get to work on that!

    I'm still kind of weirded out that my body keeps making me wake up after slightly less than six hours of sleep every night, but I'll just have to use that to my advantage!

    BLARG!!! :twilightoops:

    Sorry, work took a lot out of me, and I've been fumbling with chapter six quite a bit. It isn't so much that I don't know what to put in the chapter, I just don't have the time or energy to type everything I want to put in the story. It's already at three thousand words, and I still have a few more things I want to throw in there before I'm ready to consider publishing it.

    Also, would everyone be okay with me posting a chapter every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from now on? I know I don't really HAVE to follow a schedule with my updates on this thing, but I think it's the only thing that really gets me to work on it and not just sorta put it off indefinitely, but I also don't think I'll be able to keep up a chapter a day thing for much longer. Chapter six will certainly be finished by Monday no problem, but I have no idea about chapter seven.

    At any rate. I got church in eight hours, and it currently hurts to possess eyelids and/or eyes, so Imma passing out for the night. Later! :pinkiehappy::pinkiesick::pinkiehappy:

    EDIT: Right before I'm about to close out of the site, Anthropology updates! over four thousand words for this chapter too! So tired...Must rest...but so much want...but...must...rest... :raritydespair::pinkiesad2::fluttercry::raritycry:

    Schedules are good for productivity, so go for it.

    Lies are most effective with a dash of truth. It'd be pretty impossible to keep the fact from Sparkle that the main character's from a different world, so as long as he clams the buck up about the television show, that should work out for the best in my opinion. Plus, the revelation of alternate worlds should keep Sparkle's attention. Though, she probably won't forget him quoting Rarity, so he's still in some trouble there. Hah hah hah, foot in mouth syndrome is so amusing to read.

    Well as much as it is Raritys´ thing, she did not invent that phrase, so as long as he doesn't really mess up, it can easily be brushed off as a freak coincidence.

    Btw, good chapter, although short in my opinion.

    >>916239 :twilightoops: :pinkiegasp: :raritydespair: :fluttershbad: I'm trying! :fluttercry:

    >>916347 Yeah that car's dead, well, ya'know, I'm PLANNING on it staying dead, but eh, I don't really know where I'm going with the future chapters just yet. These chapters are pretty much like "Oh hey here's something that'd be hilarious!" Then I write things to build up to that joke, then I sorta get the dust to clear, and move on to the next joke. So yeah, each chapter's just pretty much based on what I think will have to happen because of the previous one, or because of something in particular I want to have happen in the story. Like Kevin maybe being a total dork and eventually accidentally showing a bit more knowledge than he should have, not enough to be blatantly obvious about everything, but enough for some suspicion. :pinkiehappy:

    Thanks for agreeing to mah schedule idea! Yeah Twilight's probably going to be asking quite a lot about his world, so yeah >>916986 he just might end up talking about those things, though he'll certainly try to side step anything he thinks is negative or thinks they would think is negative. Foot In Mouth Syndrome is a persistent little troll though.

    >>916710 Twilight's going to do whatever the heck Princess Celestia says, and assuming she wasn't specifically told not to, will probably be bugging Kevin about tons of things about his world, assuming Princess Celestia says he's genuinely from a different world. Kevin's going to try to enjoy being in Equestria and ignore the heck out of the coma thought while trying not to fail horribly in acting like he's never heard of this place before.

    >>917275 I've HEARD about that episode a little bit, but never saw it. Yeah I sort of thought about that it too though after I typed it, til then I was just thinking how upset I'd be with not being able to read books. Oddly enough though, Kevin probably wouldn't have tried to read a book if his glasses hadn't broken, he'd probably have just been trying to fix the mess his car made.

    >>917374 Also THAT, THAT IMAGE RIGHT THERE! That terrifying. Do you know why? DO YOU?! JUST LOOK AT IT! IT'S CREEPY!

    But to make matters worse, I was planning on making a chapter where Princess Celestia interviews Kevin in a soundproof section of Twilight's house so she could learn more about Kevin and his world before deciding if he should be locked up some where or given a tour or whatever, so yeah, your timing was horribly horribly great for terrifying the heck out of me when I looked at that this morning.

    >>917404 Indeed, he's safe so long as he doesn't make any more obvious mistakes...So yeah...He's probably doomed. Maybe not, I was originally planning on him slipping up quite a bit, but I just got another idea that might work...

    >>917411 All my chapters are too short. I kept being annoyed with how short chapters of other fanfics were. Heck, I was annoyed the latest update of Anthropology didn't have over nine thousand words, though that was canceled by my sheer excitement at the update. I keep thinking I'm typing up huge stories, then I post them up here and I'm like :twilightoops: Though now I'm reaching 3000 with tomorrow's chapter, and I feel like I've typed too much...Though I also feel that I have a ton more to put in that chapter before I'm done, so yeah...I should get back to work on that...

    Hahahahah I'm only just now working on the story after pausing Saturday night. I think all the short naps are starting to get to me, I've been in a daze half the time and yawning like three times an hour. That said though I'm not going to sleep until I finish chapter six and post it online around midnight, so Imma just have to stay up til it finishes, and then if I have any energy left I'll work on the next one! :pinkiehappy:

    Oh...My...Table...Flipping...Gosh...I was thinking I'd be finished by like nine, maybe ten. I JUST NOW FINISHED CHAPTER SIX. It's long enough for me to put into two chapters, and STILL have both of them be just slightly longer than any of the other chapters I've put up here. I have half a mind to do just that too, but I can't honestly get myself to do it. I typed it up as one chapter, I feel a very one chapter vibe from it, and I feel like the whole thing just wouldn't work as well if I tried to publish half of it today and half on Wednesday.

    That said, I dunno how much of Chapter Seven I'll get done between here and one in the morning. Monday's pretty darn packed, and Tuesday and Wednesday don't look too good either. So how about this: I'll post the full chapter today, but there's no guarantee of a chapter seven til Friday. If I'm able to I'll post it on Wednesday, but I'm seriously not sure if I'll be able to.

    So...For now...I guess we'll just wait a good 22 minutes for my clock to say ten minutes after midnight, and then I'll publish the story! I already have the tab open and ready to click the publish button at any moment! :trollestia::trollestia::trollestia::trollestia::trollestia:

    Also, I have a feeling you guys are going to LOVE this chapter! :pinkiehappy:

    Well, here it is! Oddly enough I'm actually getting a bit of a second wind, and I've almost got the first page of chapter seven done, which usually takes a good hour to do. Then again I HAVE been thinking about this chapter for a while, maybe I'll actually get it done before Wednesday!

    My gosh this chapter was difficult though! I've had fanfiction ideas in my head since I saw all of season one, but I was so certain I wouldn't be able to really express the mane six and their personalities all that well, since character expression and development is pretty much my weakest area of writing, and I don't know what I was thinking throwing my skills at so many different characters in one chapter.

    I eventually went back and had Dash and Spike leave the room when I realized I didn't have anything else I wanted them to say and didn't think they'd just stand there silently while everyone else talked, and I spent several minutes pacing around my room playing out different conversations and such in my head before deciding on which ones to throw in and how and when and such. Seriously this thing took a lot of energy, and I didn't even really reread it or check for spelling errors aside from the occasional backspacing a bit right after typing something wrong.

    If this chapter's even half as awesome as I feel it is though, then I'm certain you all will enjoy it, it was tons of fun and I don't think I did too bad a job. This chapter also, hooves down, contains more words than any other story or list of story ideas I've ever written, and I've been scrawling ideas for different stories and making half chapters and such for YEARS. I don't think this is longer than all of those combined (hard to tell when I ended up losing 80% of it when this laptop crashed around Christmas) but this certainly beats any one story I've every typed up before!

    Thanks a ton everyone for reading this, favoriting it, commenting here, giving it a thumbs up, seriously! I've had so much fun just writing this chapter, let alone all the others, and I don't think I wouldn't have even tried after the first chapter or two had people just ignored it and moved on. I owe you all a HUGE thank you! :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

    Hahahaha, I feel that may have been a little over the top, but eh, it's late and I'm not all that sane at the moment, so over the top happiness for ALL!!!:pinkiehappy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiehappy:

    Reply 

    >>920410 I'm so glad you asked that! Now I have an excuse to explain my insanity and horrible train of logic over that joke...

    It's actually something I've used for a while, it's pretty much Luna's the fun has been doubled joke combined with Rainbow Dash's Twenty Percent cooler.

    See, the heart wrenching-ness of ponies on the computer is 100%, so you using the above jokes, you double it to 200%, then you'd increase THAT by 20%, which would actually be 40% of the original. Because 220% would actually just be 110% doubled. 240% is something not only becoming 20% more X, but the X is also doubled, where X is whatever the heck I'm using for the joke at that time...

    So yeah...It's seriously not funny, and no one ever laughs at it, but honestly I love the joke so I'm always using it, causing my friends to facepalm, and then I laugh at their expense. :pinkiecrazy:

    BTW halfway through the explanation I just gave, I switched the order of the jokes, because my brain usually goes Luna's joke and THEN RD's joke, but I just realized it makes much more sense the other way around...

    So yeah, that's where 240% came from, let me know if I need to explain this with more sanity. I just got done reading like 50 pages of the Know Your Mare fanfic on here, and I'm tired, so I'm a little insane. Trust me though, all my jokes, my numbers, everything I use has a reason. It may be one twisted as heck train of logic, but I never seemingly randomly generate anything without a sometimes hidden reason as to why I specifically picked it. :pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy:

    ALSO >>920183 Thanks! :pinkiecrazy:

    The problem is more than one part.  General nervousness.  A baby phoenix might light you on fire.  Rainbow Dash in your face.  Rarity make-over fail.  Performance anxiety while greeting the Princesses.  Worry about being banished to the moon for any or no reason.  Not being able to see because of damaged glasses.  General dorkishness (you're a Brony, right?).  On top of all that, the feeling of being completely lost, despite being in semi-familiar territory. :rainbowhuh:

    >>923670 You summed up the general reason behind Kevin's repeating how there's nothing to worry about over and over in his head. I have no idea if I'm planning another freak out or not. I'm a little weirded out that the past three chapters have turned out much differently than I had planned, though I always love the end result so I guess it works out in the end, still I'm feeling like my current idea for the next chapter just switched gears quite a bit. Guess I'll figure it out later.

    Due to various issues at the current moment, Chapter seven won't be released til probably sometime tomorrow night, and the schedule will be changed for one chapter every week.

    I'd explain in more detail, but I honestly don't have any detail, I've had some free time the past few days, but my desire to write seems to have hit a brick wall for the moment. I've been able to work on a bit or it each day, and I think I'm finally getting back into my groove of things, but I won't be finishing this chapter tonight I think.

    Sorry. :pinkiesad2:

    Desire to write is back, ability to do so seems to have vanished. I don't even table flipping know any more. The past few days feel like they've been a total waste, and I'm only barely at the 1k word mark for chapter seven, and I haven't even written a single thing for any other project. Friends haven't been able to hang, and Anthropology finished, which was great, but none of my other fanfics I track seem to have updated...

    I dunno everyone, things seemed to have frozen as far as my progress with anything is concerned, and I dunno how to get it back...I've been frustratingly trying to write for the past four hours, and yeah, not much luck...

I'm working on trying to get it back, and then I'll go to posting one story a week, right now though, I keep having a tab open and ready for whenever I want to write more stuff for the 7th chapter, and I even know a lot of how I want the chapter to go down, but it seems to take me forever to get myself to actually hit a few keys.

    I'm at 3k words on it for now though, and I think it'll have 6k or more by the end, so I still have some ways to go. I also feel like I don't have Princess Celestia's character down all that well, and the chapter feels dull at the moment, but I'm trying to think of something to get it to go correctly...

    Eh, I dunno, I'm tired and I've been feeling off all week. Imma go read and then take a nap.
