>Looking at the fuel gauge, it reads full
>You begin to drive down a narrow path careful not to scratch the cruiser

And so that's how you did the "Sonic Rainboom"?
???2:
That's right, squirt, all I needed was determination!

From those guys who annoyed you?

>You manage to get behind the tent before you hear the voices again
???1:
Should we sleep?
???2:
Yeah, *yawn* I need a rest if I'm going to do a Sonic Rainboom tomorrow

>You take the map and fold it up, putting it in your pocket
>Time for the small bags
>Left side: Canteen, food, again
>Right side: Goggles
>(Huh, no bomb)

>B. Look for help


A


>(If the bomb aint here, we gotta arrest our suspects and find out where it is, hell yeah Anon, you have GOT to get a promotion for this!)

>(Holy motherfucking shit on shit crackers what the fucking FUCK!?)
>(WHAT TGE FUCK IS THAT THING? FUCKING HELL WHAT!?)
>A blue thing with wings, a tattooed ass and hooves lies there, sleeping like a log
>(Oh my god what the shit, what do you do in a situation like this? They don't train you to deal with aliens! Maybe I can, handcuff it?)
>You take your handcuffs out and have a look to see if they would work

>(Holy shit this things can TALK! This thing was talking! I am most certainly nowhere in America. I've never seen anything like this before...)

Choice:
>A. Handcuff it's hooves
>B. Wake it up
>C. Go get help

A


>(Handcuff it, handcuff it's wings and hooves.)
>You reach to your belt, grabbing your handcuffs
>2 of them
>You can only handcuff one of the alien suspects
>(Shieeeet, thus is a problem. May as well handcuff the big one, it'll be the most dangerous)
>You reach out to its wings, gently lifting them up
>(Huh... The feel nice and soft... No Anon, stay focused, for the safety of the citizens you protect, you must stay focused)
>You carefully clip one side of the handcuffs to a wing, careful not to wake up he sleeping small-bird-horse
>You do the same to the other side, before gently putting down the cuffs

???:
H-hey, what's going on? HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? SCOOTS! RUN, IT'S A DIAMOND DOG!
>(The fuck is a diamond dog?)
Anon:
SHUT UP! LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR SUSPECTED TERRORISM!
>(Looks like with all the noise, the small one, "Scoots", hasn't woken up... "Scoots" huh? You got a name, good, gotta note that down)
>Upon closer investigation, you realise that she's wearing ear-plugs, probably because of this blue ones snoring
>Useful
>You turn your attention to the blue thing again
>Her face is a mix of anger, worry and confusion
Anon:
Right I got a few quest-
???:
Hey! I think I'm the one to ask questions! Why am I restrained? Why do you have a gun? Why am I under arrest for terrorism?
>(Right, she knows what a gun is)
Anon:
You are cuffed because you're under arrest, and you don't know why you're under arrest for terrorism? Why don't you tell me where this "Sonic Rainboom" is then, that's right, I heard you talking. And a side question, what are you?
???:
The NAME is Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria! Winner of the best young fliers competition! I'm a Pegasus.
>It says all this, although guessing by the voice, SHE says it all with a confident face on
Dash:
And the Sonic Rainboom? What do you mean "where is it?". I have to DO a Sonic Rainboom, idiot!
>Huh, she seems pretty sure about all this...

Choice:
>A. Press further
>B. Lay off the questions
>C. Search the tent for clues

A


>(Nah, she's playing dumb)
Anon:
Don't mess with me, I'm a cop, I know what's going on, now tell me what I want to know.
Actually, I have more questions, based on the info you've given me.
>You whip out your pen and notepad, readying yourself to write down more information
Anon:
What or where is Equestria? Where am I? And why are you here?
>She looks away, anger evident by her expression
Dash:
Equestria is this nation, you are in the Everfree forest, near Ponyville, In Equestria. I'm here on a camping trip with that filly, scootaloo,
>She nods her head in the direction of the small orange "Pegasus"
Dash:
We're not some terrorists! I'm the element of loyalty, for Celestia's sake!
>(Element of Loyalty?)
Anon: What is the "Element of Loyalty?" And if the "Sonic Rainboom" isn't a bomb, what is it?
Dash:
The element of loyalty is... it's part of the...
Look, it'll be easier if I just show you same for the Sonic Rainboom, if you bring me into Ponyville, I'll bring you to a friend of mine
>(Hmm... That may be easier, you might be able to get more information on where you are if she brought you to Ponyville...)
>By this time you've come to the conclusion you are no longer on Earth, or your Earth, anyway

Choice:
>A. Search the tent
>B. Question further (You decide the questions and vote on them, only sensible questions will be used)
>C. Agree

B-C

>(May as well, you need info, but you should ask some questions)
Anon:
Where do your loyalties lie? Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia?
Dash:
Huh?! The only word I even remotely understood just there was "Saddle Arabia"
Anon:
No, Saudi Arabia
Dash:
Never heard of it
>(Huh. Ok, well, this isn't going anywhere, guess you better take them to "Ponyville"...)
Anon:
Alright, I'll take you into town, to your friend...
Dash:
Thanks... I guess...
Anon:
You better take "Scootaloo" with us
>You head out of the tent Dash wakes up Scootaloo, explaining the situation to her
>You wait as dash walks out, struggling with the handcuffs, Scootaloo walking slowly behind her, an expression of fear on her face
>All 3 of you head towards your cruiser, it#s flashing lights can almost be seen from the campsite
>When you reach the vehicle, you turn the strobes off and help the "Pegasi" into your cruiser
>They both sit in the back seats, as you rev up the engine
You begin to drive down the same path you had been for a long time, silence filling the car
>You look at the rear-view mirror and see Rainbow Dash staring out the window, and Scootaloo looking at you
>The fear has died off mostly, but she's still a bit afraid
>You decide to try and assure her that you mean no harm
>You pull your badge and ID card from your chest pocket, and show them to her
Anon:
I'm a police officer, you can trust me. See? This is my badge and ID
Scootaloo:
Uh-huh...
>She says this while slowly nodding her head as she reads your ID.
>(Aha, they know English, more to note down)
>You put the badge back into your pocket, putting you eyes back on the road

Choice:
>A. Try some equipment in the car
>B. Strike up conversation with the suspects (choose your conversation topic or questions)

B


>You drive along the same, long road for a few minutes, while dead silence hangs in the air of your cruiser
>You decide to try and get some conversation going
Anon:
So, tell me about yourselves, what do you do?
Dash:
Why do you care?
Anon:
Just tryin' to converse
Dash:
I'm captain of the Ponyville Weather team, scoots here still goes to school
Anon:
Uh-huh, so, uh, do you guys have a Police Department around here?
Dash:
Yes, we do. The Ponyville Police Department, when we get to Ponyville and talk to Twilight, I can show you there
Anon:
Great, and who's this Twilight you keep talking about?
Dash:
She's a new princess, she lives in the library in town, she knows all about magic and science and stuff, she can find out how you got here.
By the way, can you take these cuffs off? They're annoying.
>(Hmmm, it seems pretty probable that a filly and a Pegasus aren't terrorists in their own world, but what if she wants to escape?)

Choice:
>A. Uncuff her
>B. Refuse

A


>(Why not, the doors are locked anyway)
Anon:
Sure, climb into the front seat there, I'll uncuff ya
>Rainbow Dash climbs into the frint seat and presents her hooves to you, as you fumble around with the key while driving
>You move your knees up to steer the cruiser, as you look over to Rainbow and insert the key into the handcuffs, releasing them
>You then take the handcuffs and put them back onto your belt
>Dash then turns around in the seat and presents her wing to you, as you reach out again and uncuff them
>She sighs in relief as she stretches her wings, almost blocking your view of the road
>(The wings are pretty nice, though, big, soft as I found out earlier, anyways...)
Dash:
Thanks, maybe you aren't so bad after all
Anon:
No problem, the chance of you being terrorists its pretty low now, anyway, so, any idea when we leave this damned forest?
Dash:
Yep! Should be a few minutes now, then you just need to drive straight and you'll see Ponyville
Anon:
Alright
>Rainbow sets herself back into the passenger seat of your cruiser, looking at the different pieces of equipment
>She extends a hoof towards your MDC, and asks
Dash:
What's that?
Anon:
MDC. Mobile Data Computer. Used for searching up criminal records and licence numbers.
Dash:
Right... and that? That's a radio, right?
Anon:
Yep, police scanner, used to call for backup and such.
Dash:
And what's this?
>She points to the glovebox, managing to open it
Anon:
Glovebox, there should be some ammo for my pistol in there and some painkillers.
Dash:
Why do you have painkillers?
Anon:
I get headaches a lot, so I keep those around
Dash:
Oh, ok...
>You arrive at the exit of the forest, following a short trail towards a town in the distance
>You start to drive faster, in the hopes of reaching the town quicker
Dash:
So which place do you want to go first?
Police station or Twilight?

Choice:
>A. Police station
>B. Twilight
>C. Let her recommend


A



>(The PD would be the best place, you can get any info you need from there, and perhaps some donuts...)
Anon:
We'll head to the PD first, that ok?
Dash:
Sure, I guess, just go straight into town, there will be signs leading you there. It's pretty late, so most ponies won't be out
>(Ponies?)
>You drive on into town, following the signposts that pointed in the direction of the Police station
>The trail of signposts leads you through the town, the majority of the town looking pretty vintage, but as you go to the edge of town, the buildings got more modern, some made of concrete
>You eventually reach the police station, a large, tall, white building with the word "POLICE" written on a sign over the large double doors
>You pull up outside and turn the engine in your cruiser off as you unlock the doors
>You hop out of the car and the Pegasi follow suit, getting out
>Rainbow hovers along beside you and Scootaloo walks
>You reach the doors and make your way in to the waiting area and front desk
>A stallion without wings turns around as he hears you enter, only to widen his eyes in the sight of you
>He smacks a button labelled "SECURITY LOCKDOWN"
>As soon as he does, the doors behind you are covered in a large sheet of metal, also branded with the same "SECURITY LOCKDOWN" logo as the button
>Alarms within the lobby go off an red lights flash, a few officers running in to the lobby and pulling out what looks to be... hoof-guns?
>They aim at you as they shout
An Officer:
On the ground now! Ponyville PD, do not move!
>(Seriously? Just because I'm a different species, they create a security lockdown over me, I'm wearing a cop uniform for fucks sake!)
>Dash tries to shout at the officers, but to no avail ad the alarms block her out

Choice:
>A. Pull your gun (You must be stupid to pick this)
>B. Drop your gun
>C. Surrender
>D. Pull your badge

D


>You reach for your pocket and slip out your badge slowly, putting your left arm in the air
>You raise the badge into the air, flipping it open, revealing the badge and ID card
Anon:
It's ok, I'm an LAPD Officer, see?!
An Officer:
Get on the ground, now!
Anon:
I'm a fucking police officer, I've been ripped from my world and thrown into this one, and this is how you treat me?!
>One of the officers moves closer to you as another turns off the alarms
An Officer:
Got any weapons on you?
Anon:
Nightstick, handgun, pepper spray.
>The officer looks closely at your ID card, reading it all
An Officer:
So you are a police officer, huh?
Anon:
Yes, I am. Los Angeles Police Department.
>The officers lower their weapons as the security lockdown doors re-open
Anon:
Thank you for recognising that
Dash:
Thank you?! These idiots couldn't tell from your uniform you were an officer! Why are you saying thank you?
Anon:
At least they didn't fill me with bullets.
Scootaloo:
I wonder if I could get a cutiemark in policing?
>(Cutiemark? What the hell is that?)
An Officer:
So, you don't know how you got here, I presume?
Anon:
Yep, woke up in that big forest on the other side of town sitting in my cruiser.
An Officer:
Right, well, my name is Hard Time, is there anything we can help you with?
>(Huh, is there? Shelter, food, stuff like that I suppose...)

Choice:
>A. Shelter
>B. Food
>C. Information (You decide what info you want)

>A


>(Shelter would be the best, somewhere to set up a command post and find out how to get back home from)
Anon:
Well, I could do with a place to stay....
Hard Time:
Huh, that might be hard to arrange, we have plenty of empty houses around but I'd have to talk to the mayor about getting you into one, and she's asleep. Trust me, you do NOT want to wake her up.
>(Fucking hell, where am I going to stay now? It's cold out there....)
>You pinch the bridge of your nose as you think about a place to stay
>(I guess I could spend a night in my cruiser, not like I haven't done that before.)
Anon:
I'll sleep in my cruiser till morning.
Hard Time:
A cruiser? You have a police vehicle? Powered by fuel?
Anon:
Yes, why? What's so special?
Hard Time:
What's so special?! Those cost a FORTUNE! Our department has never been able to afford a vehicle on out budget, neither has any of the emergency services in Ponyville!
>(So cars are rare here, huh?)
Anon:
Where I come from, most people own one. They're common in my world
Hard Time:
That is AWSOME! You have got to take me for a spin in one someday, you got that?
Anon:
Get me a house tomorrow, and you've got a deal
Hard Time:
Deal!
>You wave to the officer as you walk back out towards the door of the station, all the while the other officers stare at you quizzically
Dash:
So, you're just going to sleep in your car?
Anon:
That's the plan, why?
Dash:
I don't think that thing is comfy enough for sleeping in, to be honest
Anon:
It's not really, but what other option have I got?
Dash:
You can sleep in my cloud home, if we go to Twilight, she can put a cloud walking spell on you and I'll get you up there, I know for fact that the cloud bed in my spare room is a TON more comfy than your car
>(Cloud walking spell? They have "spells" here too?)

Choice:
>A. Accept Offer
>B. Decline Offer


>A



>(Why not, it has to be comfier than sleeping in a car)
Anon:
Sure, I don't see why not...
Dash:
Great! I'll direct you to Twilight's library, she's going to ask a lot of questions about you though, so be prepared
>(Great, questions... This is just going to cause a headache...)
Anon:
Alright then, let me just tell that officer, in case he goes looking for me
Dash:
Sure thing, I'll wait here with Scoots
>(Oh yea, Scootaloo is here, she's been so quiet I forgot about her)
>You walk back into the PD, most of the offices who had responded to the alarm now gone
>You look towards the front desk to see Hard Time sitting there looking through some files
Anon:
Hey, Hard Time? I'm going to be staying at Rainbow's cloud home instead of my car, ok?
Hard Time:
Sure thing! See ya!
>With that, you wave and walk back outside the building
Anon:
Alright Dash, lets go.
>You open the cruiser's doors for your two passengers, and closed the doors when they got in
>You get into the drivers seat and start up the engine
Anon:
Alright, which way?
Dash:
Back the way we came
Anon:
Right
>You drive back in the direction that you came in for a good few minutes until Dash interrupts the silence
Dash:
Alright, go right here and drive until you see a building that's a tree
>(A tree? A library in a tree? Fucking seriously?)
>You comply and continue driving until you see the tree/library
>Approaching the front of it you turn off your engine and hop out
>Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo walk up to the door and knock on it, waiting for a response

Choice:
>A. Make this a quick visit
>B. Answer Twilight's questions
>C. Ask Twilight's questions (choose questions)
