After having the door slammed in my face, I pressed my ear against it. I could overhear John arguing with a woman. John yelled "Just because he has the highest score on the obstacle course doesn't mean the other two tests are irrelevant!"

"Shh!" The woman said. "Not here! Let's finish this in the conference room." I heard their footsteps walking towards the door, and I ducked into a closet. The woman and John walked past. I followed them. They reached the conference room and shut the door. I walked into the adjacent room and found some vents on the ceiling that connected with the conference room. I eavesdropped. "You can at least give him a second chance." She said.

"No!" John snapped. "Everyone only gets one chance."

"Fine." She huffed. "But what about him? He could find the portal."

"Nonsense!" He said. "There's no way he can even get in if he does. The top floor is sealed, and that's that." I had all the information I needed. I bolted for my room.

After a few days, I was relocated out of the rehab center and into the town. After a week or so had gone by there, a hurricane blew through the town. I knew, due to snooping, that the basement of the rehab center wasn't really legit, so they'd be dealing with some flooding. I made my move.

After putting on the darkest clothing I owned (just a black t-shirt and jeans) and set off into he wind and the rain. After about ten minutes, I was soaked tot he bone. Luckily, I had made it to the rehab center. I slowly, as not to slip, climbed the walls to the top floor. When I reached it, I tried to pry the window open. I didn't work. Then I punched it. The glass was too strong.

A sharp crack caught my attention. A tree was falling straight towards me! I dodged just in time. The tree smashed through the window. An alarm went off. "Well, so much for stealth." I muttered, climbing in.

The room was quite a sight. There were two or three chairs set up around the room, but the thing that dominated the area was a large machine. There was an empty circle in the middle of it, which I assumed housed the portal to the "Better World" whenever the machine was turned on. I shoved one of the chairs underneath the door handle to buy myself some time. Then I looked for an on switch.

When I found it, there were footsteps in the hallway outside. After he machine had fully booted up, a small screen lit up near the switch. On it, it said: Choose your breed. Below appeared three images. A Pegasus, a Unicorn, and an Earth Pony. I've been a My Little Pony fan since the show started, but I'd never come out of the closet. I was shocked. Could the portal lead to Equestria?

I hit Pegasus. A small camera looking thingy dropped down. The screen was suddenly filled with the words "Stand in front of the scanner." I did, and that thin little light that's often seen in Sci-Fi movies moved up and down across my body, eventually producing a green pony on the screen. The pony's mane was ruffled, same with the tail. The pony's cutie mark was a vinyl scratch record. The words "Do You Accept?" flashed on the screen. I hit yes.

There was a furious banging on the door. It didn't look like it would hold much longer. The screen said "You may now enter the portal." I jumped in as soon as the door slammed open, puling out the power cord behind me.
