4 DAYS LATER
"Arriving in Washington DC in five minutes." The conductor said over the PA.
"Finally, almost there." Jonathon sighed, relieved.
"Ah reckon you're tired of this train rahd as well?" Applejack asked.
"Eeyup!" I replied.
"How did you… You sound like mah brother."
"Well, you know he is a character in a-"
Jonathon was cut off by his little brother Ryan, covering his mouth.
"Gggt hhr hhnb uff me." Jonathon yelled.
"I'm sorry what was that? I can't hear you." Ryan said, grinning.
Jonathon removed his brothers hand off his face. "I said GET YOUR HAND OFF ME!"
"Sheesh man, you don't have to yell."
"Oh yeah, and you didn't have to put your hand on my-"
"BOYS!" Yelled Melissa. "You know better than that. Besides we're in public."
"Yes ma'am." Both Jonathon and Ryan said in unison.
"Pinch, poke, you owe me a Coke!" Ryan said.
"Shit!"
They finally got off the train and Jonathon went to the vending machine and got Ryan a Dr. Pepper. They still use the original saying with Coke, but he knew Ryan would prefer a Dr. Pepper instead.
"Here you go." Jonathon said, as he handed over the beverage.
"Thank you." Ryan said.
"You're wel-"
"No! Never mind. Thank me. After all I said the saying first so it's only natural I'd thank myself."
"What the hell?!" Jonathon yelled. "You know it's just a stupid saying and I didn't really have to get you a Dr. Pepper!"
"Fine. Thank you."
"You… are… welcome…"
They walked up to the courtyard at the capitol building. Obama stood on a stage. Behind him was a huge ring, and next to the ring was…
"Twilight Sparkle!"
"Who?" Asked Ryan.
"Twilight Sparkle." Jonathon answered, annoyed. "She's my favorite character."
"Well, if I catch you clopping, imma chop off yo dick and feed it to the tigers."
"Shut the hell up!" Jonathon yelled. "That's disgusting! What are you thinking."
"Shhh." Interrupted Melissa. "Obama's about to start talking."
"I image you all, um, see this device behind me." The president began. "This here is a portal. This portal will take us to a safe place, a place not on earth. A place called Equestria."
Bronies started cheering.
"Hey! Calm down. I must tell you now. This um, portal lead to a precipice world we created. In this precipice world you will get your ID cards checked. They will check to see if you are carrying any weapons. They will also look at your background, and if you have a criminal record you cannot go to Equestria. Princess Celestia specifically said that criminals cannot enter and they will have to come back here to Earth, even though they will die here.
"Without further ado… Twilight Sparkle, you may now activate the portal."
"Yes sir." Answered Twilight.
And with that, the Princess of Friendship inserted her horn into a hole on the side of the portal and inserted magic to activate it.
"Pchh, ck, ck. Pst. Hahahahahahahaha!" Ryan busted out laughing.
"And now what is so funny?" Applejack asked him.
"You wouldn't understand."
"Oh ah see. You got your brain in the gutter now, don't ya?"
"Oh, ho, ho. Busted!" Jonathon said.
"Well, how do you? How?" Ryan asked her.
"Now, horses in your world may be dumb as an icicle stick in the winter breeze, but in our world we are the dominant species." Applejack answered.
Ryan's jaw dropped and Applejack just winked at him.
She trotted up to Jonathon. "I kinda lak your brother."
"Wow! That's a surprise."
"And what do ya mean bah that?"
"It just confuses me how you say that right after scolding him."
"No it's just that-"
"Next" Said one of the guards.
It was Jonathon and his families turn.
"Hey Twilight!" Yelled Applejack.
"Applejack! How did you get here?" Asked Twilight.
Jonathon and his family continued on and entered the portal.
"Wow this place looks weird." Said Jonathon.
It looked like they were inside a huge orange pipe with a bridge right in the center connecting both ends of the precipice world.
"ID." Said a man in camo.
Jonathon pulled out his wallet and handed him the ID which the man scanned.
"Sir, I'm sorry but I cannot let you pass." Said the man. He actually looked sorry for Jonathon.
"But why?"
"You have a criminal record. You assaulted a teacher. According to the record it says you poured chocolate milk on her."
"I did, but wasn't that record cleared?"
"Apparently not. I'm very sorry. I also see in your info that you have Aspergers Syndrome, and that really saddens me not to allow you to pass."
"Dad." Jonathon said, turning around. His father was speechless.
"Dad, it's Austin and Dallas that are entering, right?"
"Yes son it is. But why, how can that help you?"
"Because, the teacher I poured chocolate milk on lives in Dallas."
And just then he saw his old teacher, Mrs. Rhoden walk by.
"Mrs. Rhoden!" Jonathon yelled.
She turned around.
"Jonathon? Is that you?"
"Yes Mrs. Rhoden."
"What is wrong?"
"I still have the criminal record from when you pressed charges on me for pouring chocolate milk on you, and they will not let me pass."
"Let me talk to the guard then."
Jonathon walked back to the guard with his old teacher following.
"Hello sir."
"Yes ma'am, and who are you?"
"I am Kris Rhoden. I'm the teacher whom he poured chocolate milk onto."
The guard pulled out the laptop again and looked at the record and confirmed the name was Kris Rhoden.
"Well this is the correct name, but I must see your ID to confirm that you are the teacher."
"Very well." Mrs. Rhoden pulled the wallet out her purse and removed the ID which she handed over.
The guard swiped it. "Well you are the teacher, but I still cannot let him pass. He still has this criminal record."
"He shouldn't have gone to jail in the first place for that!"
"He went to jail because of this?"
"Yes, but he didn't deserve it."
"Jonathon Baker, I must ask you to leave. We cannot allow criminals into the Equestria. I'm sorry but you must pick up your belongings and turn around."
"If he can't go then I won't either." Said Ron.
"Nor will I, or the rest of the family." Said Melissa.
"I'm afraid you can't. You have already been registered so you can't turn around." Said the guard.
Jonathon picked up his things and turned around exiting the portal. His family tried to follow, but the guard blocked them from leaving.
When Jonathon exited he noticed he was the only one there, except for Twilight, Applejack, and President Obama.
He walked down the stairs and the ground began to shake.
"Oh no! It's beginning." Jonathon yelled.
He looked behind him to see both Applejack, Twilight, and the President enter the portal and it closed.
"So this is how I die."
He looked up and saw ash clouds covering the sky. It was dark, really dark. He began to cough uncontrollably.
"Goodbye Mom, Dad, Ryan, Roger, Chuck, Mrs. Rhoden, Applejack, Twilight, and… goodbye cruel world." And with that he fainted.
"Hello? Hello? Wake up!"
Jonathon opened slowly opened his eyes. They burned, the ash was getting to him. He didn't know how much longer he could last.
"Good you're awake." Said a small purple dragon with green spikes.
"Are you spike?" Jonathon asked.
"Whoa! How did you know my name?"
"It's along story." Jonathon started coughing again, time blood came up. "I don't know if I'm going to last… Wait. How can you even breathe?"
"Well, I'm a dragon."He answered proudly. "We are immune to lava, fire, smoke and even ash."
"You sure are lucky." He started coughing up blood again.
"I need to find you some help." Spike said, worried.
"I don't think anyone's gonna help me." And he coughed again before fainting.
