-Day 10


Dear Diary,


Today I took my written driver’s test. In this world we have these things called Automobiles or car’s, and people here use them to get everywhere. There supposed to be faster than trains, and way faster than just walking. However you apparently have to have this thing called a “Drivers License” or order to own or use one, and before you can get one of those you have to have a “Drivers Permit” too. Really kind of stupid if you ask me, but Rainbow Dash says the grueling test and long lines are well worth it in the end (She already got her Driver’s License, and has been bragging about it none stop for a week)….


Anyway I had to take a short driving class first before the test, which actually ended up being helpful as I still had all the answers fresh in my head by the time I took it. I managed to pass it with a 90%, I believe you need at least 80% to pass, otherwise you have to take it again some other day. The test seemed mostly about what to do if you come across a train track where a train is approaching. You think that would a bit redundant as everyone should know to stop and let the train pass, and not drive the car directly in front of it. But apparently they thought it needed to be drilled into us anyway.


So now that I have my permit I can now start learning how to drive. Sadly this means I have to (ugh) pay an instructor over the age of 21 as it’s illegal for anyone with just a permit to drive without a licensed driver 21 or over in the car with you… But again, my friends assure me it’s all worth it in the end. Maybe I can save some money aside from my college fund to by a brand new flashy car with flames on the side.


……Or maybe not as they are really expensive.

-Day 11

Dear Diary,

Today I went out for lunch to eat as was completely out of food (or rather a bunch of mice got to it before I could….) at a local taco bell, and you’ll never guess who I saw there. No, it’s not Sweetie Belle, it was one of the Dazzlings…..Ok actually Sweetie Belle was there as well, she’s ALWAYS there, sitting in the same booth, staring into space… The rest of us are starting to get concerned about it, but Rarity claims she is just resting her brain…


Anyways, back on topic. I saw the blue haired Dazzling sitting by herself in the back, I think her name is Sonata. I sat next to her and struck up a conversation. I remembered how my friends had helped me after my……well you know….and I figured I could try to do the same for her. I found out that after their defeat, Adagio (the one that looked like she had an orange mop on her head) and Aria had abandoned her and kicked her out of their apartment. She was luckily able to get her own apartment as she has her own set of income (apparently they all have been recycling bottles to earn money, and have made quite a lot by doing so, maybe I should try that too), but has been by herself ever since.


I asked her if she is still going to school. She said no as she was over a thousand and therefore did not feel like she needed too, and also because the only reason they had signed up in the first place was to find the Equestrian Magic they had sensed within the school and take it. I told her she should debate going back and trying to start a whole new life like I had. She was a bit reluctant as giving that fact that she never ages (something to do with the effect of her and her friends banishment), she feels she can never truly belong in this world. So I told her a bit more of my story, and how well I initially felt the same way after I was defeated, I learned to cope with the situation that was handed to me, and she agreed to let me help her.


Anyway I’d better stop now and call an exterminator, as the mice are trying to take off with my furniture now. I didn't know mice could lift a Television set….Or a Refrigerator. Hopefully someone will get here quickly before they try and take off with my whole Apartment as well.

-Day 12

Dear Diary,


So today my friends and I tried a little experiment, with interesting and fun results. Recently we had a Science fair at school, and I invented this machine (using the magic of this book, similar to how you use your copy to force open the portal to this world and power it) that can take the energy of one object and put it into another, be it magical or not. The original idea for it was to actually take the magical power of some of my Enchanted Books, and put it into my Laptop’s internet connection to try and make it so that the internet connection can reach Equestria from here like I was taking about earlier.


Anyway Rainbow Dash had another idea to test it, and wanted me to transfer the Enchantment of one of my Power Ponies comics into one of her Power Rangers (this worlds version of Power Ponies I assume) video games, so we can go inside it and actually play as the characters. I originally was a bit reluctant, but after Rainbow, Pinkie, and Applejack kept pressing me, I eventually gave in. So we transferred the enchantment into the video game, and were able to be sucked directly into the game to play as the characters.


Rainbow Dash became the blue ranger, Applejack the green one, Pinkie the pink one, Fluttershy the yellow one, Rarity the black one, and I became the red one (Rainbow was not too happy about that, being she wanted to be red as that’s apparently the leader). Similar to what happens when you get sucked into a Power Ponies comic, we then had to beat the villain to get out. In this case some Lady Gaga wannabe named Rita Repula, and we were apparently working for a Wizard of Oz wannabe named Zordon. We had some super powers, but mostly relied on weapon and hand to hand combat to win, and at the end we had to fight using this giant robot called a megazord. I have to admit even though I was a bit hesitant to do this, I’m glad I did. It was loads of fun, and even Fluttershy and Rarity who were also hesitant to join us at first ended up enjoying themselves near the end.


I’m still trying to get the machine to be able to connect the internet connection from here to Equestria, but I’m still having issues trying to figure exactly how to get it to work. Mainly because I have no idea where in Equestria to set or send the connection to. But I’m sure I will figure it out someday, or at least I hope.
