Location: Unknown
The Mane 6 walked onto a stage in a park. It was dark in the middle of the night.
"Where are we? Rarity asked.
"It's some sort of, park." Twilight replied.
"Weird, everything looks so different here." Rainbow Dash said as she looked into a lake.
"Come on girls we need to keep moving and find Spiror." Twilight said as they walked along a path.
"Woahhhh!" Rainbow Dash said as the Mane 6 looked up to see tall buildings.
"That's so cool! We don't have anything that tall in Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Yeah, but where is this?" Twilight said confused. Fluttershy turned around from the group and saw a sign.
"Hey, guys over here." Fluttershy signaled the others. The Mane 6 turned around to see a tall greenish sign.
"Lake Eola." Fluttershy read it out loud.
"Where in the hay is Lake Eola?" Applejack asked confusedly.
"I don't know but let's keep exploring." Twilight said as she walked down the sidewalk to a road sign.
"Washington St. and Rosalind Ave" Twilight read them out loud.
"This town sure is big, I wonder where this town even is." Applejack said. The Mane 6 then wondered down the street more and noticed something.
"Hey! Hey! Look at these!" Pinkie Pie said pointing at a light post with 2 banners.
"Hmm a banner of Stars and Stripes, red white and blue, I wonder what it represents." Twilight said. They continued walking down the street and find a corner store.
"Hey look! Food!" Twilight said while looking at the store.
"7-Eleven? What is that supposed to mean?"
Applejack asked confused.
"It's the name of the store dummy." Rainbow Dash answered.
"Well, I suppose so." Applejack replied embarrassed.
"Ok girls let's enter and get some food." Twilight said as she went to open the door.
Twilight struggled as she reached for the handle to open the door.
"Everything is taller in this place then back in Equestria." Twilight said as she reached for the handle.
"Oh, I forgot! Silly me." Twilight said as she used her magic to open the door. The Mane 6 entered the store and looked for some food. The late night store clerk was reading a magazine while listening to music.
"Ha look over here! We got apples! Well.. apple slices." Applejack said as she grabbed packs of apple slices.
"What are these? Slurr-pees? Sounds fun!" Pinkie Pie said as she jumped up and pulled the lever and let the slushy fall into her mouth as it dispensed.
"Mmmm, tasty."
"Stop messing around Pinkie! We need to get food and go find Spiror!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight walked around the store looking for food.
"Hmm, these seem nice, they look delicious!" Twilight said as she grabbed a pack of Skittles off the shelf.
"Alright Y'all I got apples, peanut butter, and some bread." Applejack said.
"I would prefer a more balanced diet but that will do for now." Rarity said.
"Ok let's go!" Rainbow Dash said as she went for the exit.
"Wait!" Twilight yelled to Rainbow Dash.
"What is it?!" Rainbow Dash replied annoyed.
"We need to pay!" Twilight said as she pointed at checkout.
"Are you serious!?" Rainbow Dash said.
"Just because we're in another world doesn't mean that stealing is ok." Twilight said as she walked over to the counter with their stuff. The cashier was reading the magazine while facing away from them.
"Excuse me I'd like to buy these." Twilight said as she used her magic to place the items on the counter.
"Ok." The cashier said as he started scanning the items without looking, still reading the magazine.
"Your total is $16.45." The cashier said.
"Here you go." Twilight said as she placed 16 bits on the counter. The store clerk grabbed the coins and looked at them.
"Is this some kind of joke? What are these?"
"I'm sorry that's all I have!" Twilight said to the clerk.
"I expect payment in US dollars not-" The store clerk stopped as he looked at the counter and saw nothing.
"Uh hello? This isn't funny!" The store clerk yelled.
"Uh down here." Twilight said to the clerk. The store clerk then stood up to see over the counter and saw the Mane 6 nervously smile at him.
"Uh uh...wha." The clerk fainted out of shock.
"Oh no!" Twilight said as she flew over the counter.
A few minutes had passed and the store clerk was still not awake. The Mane 6 went around the counter and stood with him until he woke up. The store clerk began to open his eyes.
"Uh, boss, I'm sorry I wasn't sleeping on the job I swear, I just fell." The store clerk's vision was blurry until he rubbed his eyes and opened them to see the Mane 6 standing before him.
"Hi, are you alright?" Twilight asked.
"AHHH AHHH!" The store clerk screamed out of shock of seeing talking ponies. A jogger passing by saw the clerk freak out but all they saw was him and not the ponies. The jogger gave him a weird look and slowly stepped back and ran in the other direction.
"Wha-wha-what? What is going on?!" The store clerk said as he scooted back quickly.
"Hi! I'm Twilight Sparkle, and this is Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity." Twilight said as she pointed at all of them.
"You....you are colored horses, and you t-talk." The store clerk said scared in the corner.
"Am I on drugs? I sure hope I'm not." The store clerk said to himself.
"Listen sir..." Twilight looked at his name tag.
"Sam, hello Sam. We need to buy this food but it seems like where ever we are doesn't take bits." Twilight said to him.
"Maybe I'm just tired. It is 5am and my shift ends soon." The clerk said to himself while crunched up in the corner rocking back and forth.
"Sir we are very real, look!" Twilight said as she tapped him with her hoof.
"You-you are real, huh huh, why me." The clerk said still a little freaked out.
"Listen Mr. Sam, what currency is accepted here?" Twilight asked.
"Dollars, US Dollars."
"Us? What do you mean us?" Twilight said confused.
"No, not us as in you guys US stands for United States." He answered.
"United States? Where is that?" Twilight asked.
"Here, You're in the United States." He replied.
"Oh, United States is the town we're in?" Twilight asked.
"No, no, just, it's a long story ok? So why on earth are there talking ponies at 7-Eleven?" The ponies began to explain to Sam the reason they were there.
Meanwhile, Spiror was wondering the town looking for a spot to have a lab.
"Ok now where would be a good space for a lab, and I better hurry before the sun comes up." Spiror wandered up a street named "Alafaya Trail" and discovered a collage.
"University of Central Florida Science Center huh, I'll have a look inside." Spiror then entered the science building a wondered the halls for an empty room.
"No, no, ugh! Most of these rooms are already taken by these creatures. How about this one?" Spiror said to himself as he opened the door to a lab. Once inside he discovered a student sleeping on a desk inside.
"Ok..." Spiror said as he slowly backed out of the room. After a few more minutes he finally discovered a Science Lab with no teacher's name on it.
"Score!" He shouted as he entered the lab and locked the door.
"This will do perfectly, all I need is that book." Spiror said as he brought out a book.
"Ok this will do, now with some science and a little bit of my magic, this will do perfectly. He then started to build a machine.
Up in space, a satellite picked up a strange signal. An alert went off back on the ground in a computer in an office. Once the man at the computer noticed something he immediately went on the phone.
"This is Agent Williams, get me on the phone with the FBI now."
Back at 7-Eleven the Mane 6 finished explaining the reason they were there to Sam.
"Woah, that's bad." Sam said.
"I know so will you help us? Twilight asked.
"I don't know that seems pretty dangerous." Sam replied.
"Oh don't worry about that, we just need a place to stay for the night." Twilight said.
"Night? It's almost 6 in the morning." He said.
"It's alright we still need to rest." Twilight said.
"I'll help you out as long as I don't get killed by that Spiror guy." Sam replied.
"Ok girls let's go!" Twilight said.
"Wait! Wait! You guys can't be seen by others, let me pull up the car." Sam said as he walked out of the store.
"What's a car?" Twilight wondered.
"So, he's just going to leave his store unattended?" Rainbow Dash said. Sam pulled up in his car and signaled the Mane 6 to get in.
They climbed into his car and were very impressed.
"OMG, this is like a rocket-propelled chariot!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly.
"No it's more like a, ya know whatever." Sam said.
"But what about your store? Shouldn't you lock it?" Twilight asked.
"Eh, my replacement shift will arrive in a few minutes." Sam said as he pulled away.
"Now Mr. Sam can you tell me more about this "United States" thing." Twilight asked.
"So the United States is a County of 50 regions called States and the state we're in is called Florida, it's named after Flowers to represent our landscape when the Spanish arrived. And the city that we are in is called Orlando." Sam explained.
"Wow a place named after flowers, I'm already starting to like this place." Fluttershy said. Sam continued to explain to Twilight as he drove. After a long drive, Sam pulled into a neighborhood called "Curry Woods" and pulled into his driveway.
"Alright come on let's go." Sam said as he opened the door. The Mane 6 got out of the car and went inside.
Meanwhile in Washington D.C.....
A man wearing a suit and holding a briefcase runs through the halls of a building.
"Director you need to see this!" The man said as he ran up to the Director of the FBI.
"What's so important that you couldn't call me first?" The director said as he looked at his watch.
"This is an issue of national security sir, you need to see this right now." The man said as he showed him his briefcase.
"Not here, my office now." The Director said as he walked quickly to his office. Once they arrived he shut his door and sat down.
"What's your name?" The director asked.
"FBI Agent Douglas." He said.
"What's going on that jeopardizes our national security?" The Director asked.
"At around 6:00 am today I got a call from a scientist saying he detected strange radio waves coming from unknown foreign technology in Orlando, Florida through a satellite." Agent Douglas said.
"What is it? Russian, Chinese, North Korean?" The director asked.
"None, no country is capable of possessing this kind of technology." Douglas replied.
"Then what are we talking about here?" The director asked.
"Two anomalies occurred in Orlando, first in Lake Eola Park, the satellite detected that a bend in space-time occurred." Douglas said.
"So you're saying that a bend in space-time occurred and it isn't a black hole? What are you even talking about?" The Director asked skeptical.
"No sir, a black hole is a hole in space-time not a bend. What we're talking about here is some sort of portal, to somewhere outside this Universe." Douglas said.
"Ok this is ridiculous, this isn't sci-fi this is national security we're talking about!" The Director yelled as he stood up and slammed his hands on his desk.
"I know sir put there is proof, here this is security feed." Douglas said as he showed him a laptop. The security feed shows a flash of light and the portal opening with the Mane 6 hopping out of it.
"What...what's going on..." The Director said.
"Sir that's not it, also on the UCF campus it detected another anomaly, well this is hard to see but it detected some powerful force more powerful than a nuclear reactor." Douglas explained.
"Are you talking about aliens, Doug?" The Director said worried.
"Well, kind of." Douglas replied.
"I'm launching a full investigation and I'm speaking with the President." The Director said.
