"So, Twilight, want to explain what the heck this is?!" Rainbow Dash said, bordering on fury.
"I can only guess that we, somehow, were teleported to Horizon Britain. But that can't be possible right? Nope! This isn't scientifically possible! I can't believe it, I refuse to believe it. We are not, can not, be in Forza. Horizon. Four." Twilight responded while having a freakout.
"Breathe, Twilight. We've been to different dimensions before," Sunset reassured.
Twilight took the advice and started to take in deep breaths, after a good minute she looked to her friends. She looked calmer, but her eyes were wide open with curiosity.
"So Twilight if you know so much about this game, what do we do now?" Pinkie said, looking towards the pink Cadillac that was decorated in decals of cakes and balloons.
Twilight walked towards the Apollo Intensa Emozione still parked on the side of the road. "Well, in the campaign mode you have to get onto the Horizon Roster, I just hope that the seasons don't change," she said while opening the driver door.
"And where exactly is this 'Horizon Roster'?" Rarity asked.
Twilight looked back at the girls and gestured for them to follow, "Come on, I'll show you. Hop in your cars and follow me, we're going to the Festival!"
After a very long and slow drive, due to most of the girls having little to no knowledge of how to drive a car, they found themselves on the outskirts of the Horizon Festival.
The Horizon Festival was located to the right of Ambleside and to the left of Broadway, to the north of the Festival was the Slate Quarry, a popular location for people looking to Hoon about in the dead of night.
The Festival itself was a lively nonstop party, barriers and spectators lined the roads and the noise of screeching tires, loud music and roaring engines filled it with life.
One by one, the girls pulled up to the main building, it was mostly made of glass and LEDs lined the exterior walls, showcasing every colour of the rainbow.
Once all of the girls got out of their cars, Twilight addressed them, "In the game, this is where you go to register for the Roster. I hope that we aren't too late."
"Hope not, Ah don't want to be stuck in this world for any longer than we have to be." Applejack replied.
"Besides, how are we supposed to, you know.. Get out?" Rarity said with concern.
Twilight was going to respond with a theory she had thought of, but someone stepped out of the front glass doors of the building. He had pale gray skin, hazel eyes and an afro consisting of curly brown hair, he wore a black shirt with the Horizon 'H' printed on the front and jeans. He looked no taller than 5 foot 3 inches.
"Ah, so you're the drivers I was told about. The names Maverick, I'm the Horizon Safety Team Lead Strategist at the festival," he said, looking to each of the girls. "I see you're looking to join the Roster, let's see some of your driving and I'll consider it."
The girls just looked at him with confusion written on their faces.
"Say... Why is your skin purple?" He looked directly at Twilight. "And why is your skin pink?" He looked directly at Pinkie.
She just gave him her biggest grin.
"Well, you see..." Twilight responded but was interrupted by Rainbow.
"We're not from here! We're from a different world! In our world this whole world is a video game! We got teleported here by some freaky magic and we don't know what the heck to do!"
"Well, I've heard some stories. But that, is just crazy," Maverick replied. "But I like to believe weird things happen from time to time, and there's no way this is you playing dress up."
It was Sunset's turn to say something. "So you believe us?"
"I don't know what could explain... You girls. Why exactly are you here?" He responded giving her a dubious look.
"We're here to apply for the Horizon Roster!" Twilight announced with joy. "I think the only way for us to get back to our home world is to complete the campaign mode of my game, but in this world!"
"So, how many of you can drive?" Maverick said.
"We all can, kinda, but Ah don't know about Twilight. She's not as experienced as us," Applejack said.
"Hey, I can drive fine! I use my wheel setup all the time!"
"Well I recommend you all take the Driver Training Course, it'll allow you to race in Horizon events, just not on public roads," he started to walk back into the building. "Well what are you waiting for? Come on, lets get to it."
"The course is made up of three levels. Road, Cross Country and Dirt. Each level corresponds with the types of races that go down at Horizon. Road races are on your normal roads with a set route, Cross Country races use the surrounding area as a route, these usually go through fields and dense forests. The last one is Dirt races, which are races on the many dirt roads in the area," Maverick explained, going through what type of cars are needed for each type of race.
"So, what cars will we be using?" Sunset asked.
"For Road races, the 2019 Porsche GT3 RS. For Cross Country races, the Mercedes X-Class, and for Dirt races you'll be using the Hoonigan R200 Evolution."
Upon hearing this, Twilight's eyes widened to the size of saucers, "You mean we're going to be driving the X-Class, the beast that is the R200 Evo and the legendary Porsche GT3 RS! You don't even know how good I can handle those! Especially the GT3!"
Rainbow looked at Maverick, "I think you broke her, she's a car nerd if you couldn't already tell."
Maverick laughed nervously, "I gathered that."
Twilight shot up out of her chair and bolted for the door, stopping mid way to look back. "Come on! Let's do Cross Country first, then Dirt, then Road. Save the best 'til last!"
The girls and Maverick followed her out, snickering quietly.
