As the car moved down the road, the night sky was lit up with street lights and advertisement signs. The road was smooth and bump free, making the ride even more boring. I grabbed my phone and checked my email. Nothing again, but it gave me something to do. My little sister was sitting next to me in the back as my step-father and my mom sat in front.

The radio was playing some retarded song, so I plugged my headphones in and was lost to the sound of “Discord” by Super Ponybeat. It wasn’t until the car stopped that I realized something was wrong. What appeared to be a sinkhole had opened up in front of us, but it was too perfectly round to be of natural formation.

People were standing around the hole. We got out of the car to look and in the center of the hole was a portal. I examined the hole more and it looked more like a carter than a hole. I thought that the portal had caused it.

No one was stepping near the portal, all content to stay on the edge. I stared into the portal when I saw something that caught my eye. In the portal was what looked like a… pony? I looked more closely and found it to be Twilight Sparkle. The lavender pony was just standing there, looking out the portal as I was looking in.

What happened next not only stunned me, but everyone. I started to walk toward the portal, like an unforeseeable was telling me to move forward. I kept going until I was almost in front of the portal when my mom yelled out.

“Anthony, what are you doing? Get back here!” I just stood there, contemplating. Should I stay here, or enter the world of Equestria. Not a hard choice. I stepped through the portal.

Magic is one of the things that are still not fully understood. Twilight had been reading about how portals can be opened into other worlds, but it is extremely impossible and only one other pony in all of history had been able to do such a thing, and he was Starswirl the Bearded. The unicorn though had other ideas. She wanted to do it, just to see if it was not an old pony tale. With her luck, it wouldn’t be.

Twilight had spent several hours in the field outside Sweet Apple Acres. She had accomplished nothing except a horrible head ache. She was about to give up when she finally succeeded. The magic though was unlike anything she had ever done. An explosion occurred in the center of her magic bubble, creating a crater with a portal in the middle.
Wow! I did that. Who’d of thought it? Now where does it go? Twilight thought, as she crept down the smooth edges. As she got to the bottom, twilight saw that the crater wasn’t only in her world, but the others as well. This other world though was weird looking.

The portal was made on a road, but not a road that she was used to. It had a black top to it and was several inches thick. On the edge of the other world’s crater stood these odd creatures. They stood on two legs, had no hooves, and wore clothes. What was also odd was what was next to them. They had big machine things on wheels, but no pony was pulling it, and they made some noise.

As Twilight watched the creatures gather one in particular stood out. She guessed he was male because of the lack of hair on his head and the way it walked. She then heard a voice come from the portal just as the creature descended on the portal

“Anthony, what are you doing? Get back here!” Then the creature stopped, hesitated just a second, and then entered the portal to her world.

The sensation of the portal ride was that of pain and agony. I felt my DNA being changed before I could even blink. The pain was so much so that I almost fainted from it. What happened next was a new sensation, one I had never felt in my sixteen years of life. The sensation is impossible to say, but I knew what it was, having never felt it, but I knew. Magic. It was magic. I could feel the magic being filled into my body, but only a small portion was allowed to be open. The rest was locked away, unable to be reached.

The time in the portal felt like a whole life time, when in reality it was only a second. The air on the other side was crisp and clean, unlike the air from Earth. I don’t remember much, except that I saw the moon up high and smiled.
