Tank Trouble

"Trixie! Vinyl! Come on! Movie's about to start." Jeff was calling out for two ponies as he searched around his house. He had been housing two of them since they had arrived in his world. When two pastel ponies apeared in Jeff's garage he thought he had gone insane. But after several hours of explaining from the ponies he figured he would at least make them feel at home until Trixie could find a way to get them back home. Unfortunately, Vinyl Scratch seemed more interested in all the cool gizmos that the human world had to play with. He had already had to get his car repaired.
Figuring that they wouldn't be showing up, Jeff went down to his living room, closed the blinds and began to play Up. He was about thirty minutes into the movie when he heard a loud rumbling and mechanical noise echoing from outside. Getting up he paused the movie and went to draw the blinds. But then a tank crashed through his wall.The tank was tall enough that it only barely missed grinding on the roof. It had angled tan armor all over and a huge canon pointing right past Jeff's head. The treads were resting on part of the destroyed wall and what had been his favorite chair. Smoke and exhaust was also pouring in from behind the tank.
"Hey, Jeff! Check this out!" Looking up he noticed a white unicorn with a blue mane and purple glasses waving at him from the gunner's hatch.
"That's a freakin' tank!" He called back over the din of the engine.
"Yes and with it, The Great and Powerful Trixie will show Twilight what she is truly capable of!" Looking down Jeff noticed a Blue female unicorn with a silver mane poking her head out from the driver's hatch.
"Where did you two get that?!" Jeff yelled at Trixie.
"Despite being capable warriors, your species isn't used to dealing with magic." Trixie replied with a cocky grin.
Jeff was appalled. "Do you mean to tell me that you stole that from an army base!?"
"Yeah! Dude, there were so many awesome toys there! I'm surprised that more of ya don't do this." Vinyl called out.
Before Jeff could respond there was the sound of a helicopter passing over head before a voice over a loud speaker called out.
"You in the tank! Come outside or you will be fired upon!" Jeff's face drained of all color instantly. Never mind the fact that his house would pretty much be leveled with little chance of any of them surviving, but if he did he would have a hell of a time explaining to the authorities how he came across two mythical unicorns and how they managed to hijack a tank.
"C'mon Trixie! We need to scram!" Vinyl said climbing back in and closing the hatch.
Before Jeff could protest, Trixie had closed her hatch and was backing the tank out of his wrecked house before taking off down the street. Obviously having trouble controlling the massive machine.
Jeff watched them go until they were out of sight still stunned at what they had done. Before he could act, several humvees pulled up in front of his house and several soldiers popped out and approached him.
"Did a tank just pass through here?" A sergeant asked. Jeff just looked around at the destroyed wall.
"Alright. Which way?" The sergeant said somewhat annoyed by Jeff's attitude. Jeff simply pointed down the street with all the carnage. "Just follow the destruction."
After the soldiers had hopped back into their vehicles Jeff hopped into his car, turned on the radio and began speeding off in the direction that he assumed that the two idiots had driven.
"The tank is now cruising down Red Rock Road southbound. It just passed Wilshire Boulevard."
Fixing his path based on what the news anchor had said he quickly sped down a back road trying to cut them off. After several minutes of cruising, he could finally make them out in the distance. With no other military vehicles that he could see, Jeff took off towards them. But just as he was about to reach them, the tank took a sharp right turn into an old deserted home. Pulling off into the bushes Jeff then whipped out his phone and tried to reach the old phone that he had given Vinyl. It rang for what felt like ages before the DJ picked it up.
"Hey,dude! What can I do for ya?" She sounded oblivious to what was going on.
"Vinyl, I need you and Trixie to teleport over to my car!" Jeff half screamed into the phone while flashing his lights towards the brick building.
"Woah! Calm down dude. I see ya. Why would we do that though? This is awesome!"
"Because you pissed off the military and they're coming this way! If you dont want to be the subject of some weird experiment, then I suggest that you get in this car now." There was a long pause before the phone hang up. Jeff figured that Vinyl just didn't listen before hanging up and was about to ring again before the two appeared in the back seat with a flash and small pop.
"Let's go home." Trixie said looking somewhat worried.

After a quick trip back, they pulled into Jeff's garage.Jeff was just thanking God that he lived out in the country so there weren't many people to see what actually happened.
"Trixie is sorry for what was done." She said after being severely scolded by Jeff. "Trixie could repair the front of the house for you if you want?"
"No. Don't. If you do I'm just going to have trouble explaining why my house magically fixed itself." Jeff said rubbing his temples. Just then there was a knock at the door.
"Sir. This is the police. We would like to talk with you." Jeff sighed before turning back to the two ponies.
"Stay up here and don't draw any attention to yourselves." He said before walking out of his bedroom.
Fortunately no one suspected him of anything. Jeff got his insurance to pay for the damage and get his house fixed. Trixie eventually got her spell right and she and Vinyl went home. Meanwhile Jeff became known to his friends as "the guy who had a tank crash through his house." As much headache as the two ponies caused him, he was still sad to see them go. Jeff would always remember the two ponies and all the fun he had with the two.
