(Morgan Freeman Speaking)

June 5th 2047- February 10th 2050, Russian scientists have found a planet in the Milky Way, very similar to Earth, and was soon named Loshad' Zemli. Having the advanced technology that was not available in the past, the three super-powers, China, The Republic of America and Russia, sent machines and then later, humans, to explore the planet. The planet was found to be fully inhabited with intelligent creatures as ourselves; being sapient beings, also having equine features.

Going fully against orders, the American and Russian soldiers opened fire upon a few of the world's local citizens, causing a war against worlds.

The war lasted for two months before the leader of the world, attempted a peace treaty, approaching herself, completely unarmed.

Two years later, the treaty was signed and the alien world was ironically renamed 'Equestria' with the exception, of it being illegal for one to visit either world, the penalty being immediate execution.

However, Earth soon went into a depression due to an over-budget of space-grade military weapons. The chosen delegate of Equestria, Princess Celestia, agreed to hold a raffle that one human, and one human only, could visit Equestria for a total ten years.

Completely uncreative with the naming of the fund-raiser, the event was soon remembered as 'The Raffle'

This, is the story of the man, who not only won the raffle, but started a revolution among humans and ponies alike. This, is the story of Jack Harrison...

"Dude! She's a friggin horse! Why would you like her like that?!"

"Duh... she's an 'alien' horse... that's kinky stuff! Wouldn't you want to be with an alien?"

"Yeah Jack... wouldn't you want to do be with a big, mean, alien like me?"

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

"Ughhhh..." I moaned, trying to block out the sound with my pillow, the weird dream still engraved within my brain.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

However, the most annoying sound in the world just amplified, slowly becoming louder and louder...

"ALRIGHT! I'M UP!" I shouted, slamming the snooze button five times, nearly breaking the poor machine.

However, instead of doing anything, I just sat there, trying to adjust to the horrible beaming light. Slowly, my half-lidded eyes, opened, adjusting to what seemed like the sun trying to kill me, with the amount of brightness that flooded the room. Once I was done adjusting, I lazily made my way to the bathroom, to do what one would generally do in the bathroom.

On my way to the kitchen, it was then, that I heard the T.V suddenly blink on, "The Equestrians are now are holding a raffle, to increase capital within our world. One lucky winner, will get the chan-"

I didn't really care what the reporter had to say, so I just began to pour some cereal, blocking the reporter out with my mind. Once the oats were nearly filled to the brim, I soon shuffled my way towards my old, rugged couch, trying my hardest to keep the cereal from spilling over. Stretching my neck and yawning, I carefully sat down next to my roommate, "Morning dude."

...

I looked over to find him drooling, asleep from playing video-games all night. Weird thing was, he still was holding the controller.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A smaller alarm began beeping from my watch, signaling that I had to leave, "Later dude.". With that, I quickly got up, accidentally spilling cereal all over my shirt.

"Dammit!"

Not having enough time to change, I poured the rest of it into the sink, on my way out of the door.

6:15 A.M

"Man! I saw that video you sent me... why don't you just stay a DJ more... this job sucks."

Believe it or not, I was talking to my boss. You see, his father died a few years ago, leaving his son the entire business. His son, however, never takes anything seriously... which can be good and bad.

I smiled lazily, still tired, "I would be a DJ again, but the pay isn't that good. This job is much better."

My boss then gave me that stare...

"Jack... You are the hardest working person here. I mean, look at you, you work so hard that you forgot that you have a massive sperm stain on your shirt, and you don't even give a damn!"

'WHAT!?'

I looked down, and saw the milk I spilled from earlier. I quickly yanked off my shirt, still having an under-shirt, luckily.

I mumbled in defeat, "It's milk..."

He laughed, "Well it doesn't look like it! Jessie, come over here!"

With his call, the girl I had a crush on for months walked over. He soon plucked the shirt from the ground, "Jessie, what is this?"

The woman, now blushing, stuttered, "It- it's, a, I have to go!"

My boss turned back over to me and gave me that, 'I told you so' smirk, making me sigh. Sadly, he wasn't done speaking. He put on his God-Father voice and shook his finger at me, "You... you're good. You're good." Soon, his voice faded back to normal, "But, look, you need a vacation... go to Florida or some place, I really don't care. Your starting to make me depressed.

Knowing that it would be an un-paid vacation, my eyes bolted open, "It's ok man, I'm-"

He interrupted me, "First of all, don't talk to me like that... I'm your boss. Second of all, I'm not asking. I'll see you in a month."

7:00 A.M

Cause you had a bad day...

You're taking one down...

You sing a sad song just to turn it around~ ssshrh

Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the saaaame~ sssshr

Say something I'm giving up on you~

That was it, I just turned the radio off because literally every song was depressing, making me want to cry a river.

It didn't matter anyway, since I already arrived at my place. I noticed that some plants and such were knocked over near my apartment door, but, I ignored it... it was probably the wind.

I luckily, only had two keys. One was for my car, and the other was for the door, so, it took me two seconds to find the right one. When I did, I pushed it into the key-hole and the door creaked open...

Creeeeak...

Putting two and two together, I realized someone probably robbed the place, again, so, I walked in to see the damage. As I did, I found the place to still be clean, well... at least what me and my roommate called 'clean'. So, I assumed that Ryan just forgot to lock the door. Yawning for the final time, I lazily, plopped down on my couch, threw off my shoes, and flung my keys on the coffee table.

Smiling, I began to drift off into another dreamless sleep...

Crash!

A moment passed until I jumped, cursing at my low-reflexes and peered around my surroundings, looking for something to defend myself with. Soon, I spotted a pillow on the couch, and yanked it from it's original place, only to use it as a shield. Extremely scared, I tried speaking in a really deep, and intimidating voice, "Yo! Who in muh house?!"

... No Answer.

My breathing quickened as I stalked around the corner with the pillow, trying to find what was now making metallic clinging noises. In the corner of my eye, I saw what looked to be a horse-leg, laying on the floor. Now confused, I quickly swiveled around the corner to find an enormous, pink, plastic horse on the floor and my roommate, rummaging through the cabinets.

"Ryan, what are you doing?" I asked, only half relieved.

My friend looked up to me and gave me a determined grin, "Jack, do you know what day it is?"

I didn't answer him. Instead, I just stared at him, with a blank expression on my face.

He rolled his eyes, "Seriously? Jack, today is the official Raffle day! I bought two tickets, so that means you're going."

"Alright... fine dude, thanks. I never saw one of those things in real life, it might be cool."

Ryan's smirk only grew even more.

5:00 P.M or something... you don't care what time it is.

"So, what even is the raffle prize? You get to kiss Celestia's ass?"

Ryan started to laugh, manically. We were both waiting in line, along with literally tens of thousands of other people, nearly blocking out our voices completely. Men and women were camping on the outside of the line, while the police, seemingly guarded everyone. Other people looked bored to tears, but luckily, I had a DJ app on my phone and was trying to mix two completely different songs while talking to Ryan.

Watching me work the cross-faders, my roommate put on his best, sarcastic-seductive voice, "No... but I bet you'd want to."

Smirking, I punched him in the shoulder, "That's gross. What are you even gonna do with that plastic horse?"

His smirk grew like a madman, scaring me slightly before he continued, "You'll see... it's gonna be awesome."

...

We stood in line some more, waiting, until I felt something tap my shoulder. Behind me, was a man wearing a black suit, and a wire clipped to his ear. He looked like one of those secret service people. Confirming my suspicions, the man mumbled something into his wire, before looking back to me, "You need to come with me."

My roommate looked up to us with wide-eyes and I smiled, trying to assure him... and me, "It's alright dude, I didn't do anything wrong. I'll ju- Ow!"

A jab suddenly impaled my side, making me crouch in pain. Before I could respond, a bag was jerked onto my head. Then, my world went black...

x Unknown Time x

Slowly, I woke up... smelling a strange incense, smelling much like tea leaves and acid.

I lazily lifted my head to find a white horse looking at me, bowing her head in a sad fashion, "Oh my... I didn't know your government would do that to you, I'm terribly sorry."

My eyes suddenly snapped wide-open, "Your the legendary sun horse! You- your Princess Celery!"

Rolling her eyes, she shook her head, "Yes... would you kindly present to me your ticket?"

Why does she want to see my ticket? I didn't win. I probably just had a faulty ticket or something. My eyes drifted a bit over her wings and hooves in curiosity, before forcing my eyes back to her eyes, "Yeah, I have my ticket. Don't worry though, I don't even want to win. I'm happy being here on Earth."

For some reason, Princess Celery seemed somewhat relieved, "Oh, ok. Yes, in actuality, I was expecting another, specific human to have the winning ticket. Also, *ahem* my name is Celestia."

I smiled, "Ok, Princess. I'm just going to le-"

"STOP!" Out of nowhere, a weird unicorn, wearing a tux and monocle, leaped over to us, "No! If you reject the offer, there is an enormous chance of war. That would be breaking our treaty, and the humans are a very meticulous species!"

For me, every word he said went straight through me, for I was instead, trying to think of a way to escape, "...Ok."

Still nervous, the unicorn began pushing me forward, "Good! Then let's go shall we? Princess, stop standing there! You are part of the treaty as well!"

In front of me, was a tent opening, along with a bright light being emitted from it. Time seemed to slow down at that moment, a mixture of Earth music and some of those weird Equestrian Instruments were playing loudly, making me sink into my own shoes. As the unicorn let me go, he opened the tent slit and what I saw, was utterly astonishing. Millions, upon millions of people were in rows, both cheering and booing, while I stood at the end of what seemed like a football stadium.

Massive screens were available to the crowd, showing a close-up of my face and I looked like shit, having a horrible black-eye. Now, I used to be a DJ, so usually confidence is on my side... but, this was entirely different and I soon began to sweat bullets. Behind me, was the Princess of horses, her face smiling like nothing happened back in the tent. A mic was in the middle of the stadium, so I walked over there; both ponies following me.

When I got there, the entire crowd went silent, conjuring up billions of chills, only for them to creep down my body.

I cleared my throat and tapped the mic, "Hello..."

I was greeted by a few faint, sarcastic-laughs and coughs, so, I continued speaking into the mic,"... alright, this is scary, I'm sweating like crazy over here!"

I was surprisingly greeted by half the crowd lightly laughing, giving me encouragement... "Haha, so, it's amazing to see so many people here. Celestia is a really good per- pony, and a wonderful leader and here she stands now."

More people cheered as Celestia smiled calmly. I continued and turned my head back to it's original position, by looking over the crowd, to avoid nervousness, "I also wanted to say, that I'm sorry not all of you could win, because you are all awesome people. But, please just remember, life is an obstacle course... there will always be bad... and good. The more obstacles you go over, the stronger you get, then, you will be able to be happy. Running off to another world won't make you happy, since there will be obstacles there too."

The people stayed silent as I continued, "Those, were some of the wise words my grandpa told me; he had a really good soul. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I used to be depressed, however, he told me that I had my eyes closed. He told me, I saw something I didn't like, so, I shut it out along with the light."

Knowing I was gaining people's attention, I tried copying Celestia's calm smile, "So, my grandpa then told me, that in order to see the light again, I needed to open my eyes... and I did and found beauty within the world. This, is because day ALWAYS comes after night, but there will always be day and there will always be night, whether you like it or not."

As I finished, the entire crowd cheered and I was shaking from the amount of excitement I felt, "And here, is another wonderful soul, who cares so much about bringing day, literally and metaphorically to others, please welcome, Princess celer-uh, Celestia!"

The stadium filled with shouts of joy even though the princess was just standing there, gawking at me. I laughed and gestured her to the crowd and she snapped out of it and walked over to the mic.

"... I honestly, never heard anything like that, even in my long, long, long, *ahem* very long life... your grandpa was a very wise man, Jack. However, without further adieu, let the ceremony begin!"

Suddenly, the music began playing again and people began rushing towards the ground, to dance and have fun.

I was about to join them, until a random force lifted me, possibly being one of those crazy horse powers that I've learned about. Alongside me, was Celestia and the same unicorn-pony with the monocle... and then two, random soldier-ponies.

Scared of the answer, I asked anyway, "Uh... sir, where are we going?"

He looked up to me, gleaming, "My friend... you, are going to Equestria!"
