I turned off the engine on my 1957 Black Thunderbird and checked the weather on my phone. Of course I would not expect it to change in the past 5 minutes. I was very surprised however that it went from 22 degrees to 15 and the sunny conditions all day changed to 100% rain. Of course I could've looked out the window but I was busy admiring the beautiful Atlantic.
"Damm," I said " I didn't know conditions could change this fast." I stepped out of my car and hurried into my house, feeling the first sprinkle of rain at my heels, and put my coat up on the rack.
" Now let's see," I checked my pockets to see if anyone pickpocketed me while I was at church. 'ok… ID? Check, credit card, check, money, check, everything else, check. Alright. I'm hungry.' I headed off to the kitchen in search of food.
" Ahhh, dammit, all out, I gotta go to the store tomorrow," I picked some bread up from the bread box and toasted and buttered it.
"Mhhhh, buthered thoast, the beth thing in the wrld," I said while having my face full of buttered toast. I walked to the second floor of my modest 2 bed 2 bath 2 story house (3 if you count the basement) and headed straight to my computer.
Now what most people think I am is a highly religious, highly patriotic gun owner that works at the ferry ticket office and drives a very outdated car. What I really am is a BRONY highly religious, highly patriotic gun owner that works at the ferry ticket office and drives a very outdated car. I immediately put some Doom music on and start scrolling through FimFiction. A few hours and story's later I get up for cleaning my various guns and getting ready for bed. After I finish cleaning myself and my beloved guns I look at the weather again and see it has gotten worse.
"I should really get my car in the garage." I step outside clad in full coat and rain jacket armor ready to battle the wind and rain with keys in hand. I sprint to the car, get inside, start it up, and get it in the garage. As I'm sprinting back to the house I fail to hear the crash coming in direction of my garden shed. I get inside and get in bed, ready to deal with whatever tree the storm throws at me.

"Its almost ready Twilight!" I heard that call coming from the floor below me
"OK!" I called back "I'm just making some final calibrations to it!"
"Alright and this knob goes in.... this position, and this lever goes down annnnnnnnnd done!" "The panel is ready Lyra!"
"OK, just gotta weld a few more pieces together and were ready!"
"Are you sure you have to go alone?" Princess Celestia asked, " Me, Luna and your friends can go with you."
"No," I said vigorously. "I have to go alone."
"But why Twilight, why can't we come with you? You'll be safer that way."
"No Princess, if you all go, then you might come under extreme danger, and I don't want that, Besides I made all the necessary calculations, I'll be fine."
"Ok then, your choice, you have been ruler for a year anyway."
"It's ready Twilight! Come on down!"
"Alright! I'm coming!"
I flew down to the platform hosting the Interdimensional Magical Portal, IMP for short, and gave the go ahead for Raven to start powering it up. It started to emit a low hum, then it increased to a thrum, then a low wind started to pick up around my hoofs, then the portal emitted a roar of power and magic. I stepped forward, then hesitated.
"One small step for a pony, one giant leap for pony kind!"
Then I stepped trough the portal.

I awoke the next morning wondering why my alarm didn't go off. Then my groggy mind remembered that I didn't have work today. I got out of bed ready to take on the world. Not really. I slogged to the bathroom to shower and then put my cloths on. I looked outside to see what the damage was. It wasn't really much, just some broken branches, boats washed up from the pond, but what really stood out, was the semi large crater where my shed was.
I decided ill go investigate after I had my morning coffee. I went down to get coffee and make breakfast. I ate my piece of bread that was my breakfast, checked the temp, put a coat on, and went outside.
"Wonder what it is. Probably a large shark or somthin'. Nothin to be worried abou-AHHHHHH! WHAT IS THAT" What I see in front of me looks like a little multi colored horse. While I'm trying to identify what it is this is a great time to tell you about our sponsor betterhe- nah, I'm just messin with ya. Now back to the story. While I'm trying to identify what it is my brain finally woke up enough to jog my memory of the past 14 years.
"... Why is Twilight Sparkle unconscious in my backyard?"

I was buffeted by the winds again. Any magical resistance to the winds and rain was for naught. The storm was to strong.
'Why would anyone let this storm form?' I thought. Everything was fine up intel a few hours ago. I just popped up above an unknown huge ocean in this alien world. There was a few moments of panic I regret to say where some of my most shameful moments until I remembered I had wings. I was flying peacefully over it for a couple hours until a huge storm appeared out of nowhere. It was like this was the Everfree Forest 2: the water update. Anyways, back to what I was doing. I could barely hear it, but I thought I heard waves crashing up against a shore a few hundred hooves down. I stopped just for a second to listen. That was a mistake. An updraft took me by surprise and before I knew it, I was plummeting towards the ground at blistering speeds. I saw a wooden roof for a split second, and then, there was darkness.
