Story: Trains, Carriages and Airships (Update Complete!)


[Comedy]

Author: John Perry
Description: If necessity is the mother of all invention, then assumption is the mother of all screw-ups. And there's no worse time to be making assumptions than when you're traveling - especially when what should have been a simple overnight ride turns into a three day trip from hell.
Trains, Carriages and Airships (New Part 8!)

Additional Tags: road trip, lost, Murphy's Law

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

Ponies...
On a road trip...

...I SMELL HIJINKS!!! :D

ThunderIce said...

Wait...what's Murphy's law?

Yorec said...

please tell me this is based on plains, trains, and automobiles,

Octavia said...

Yeah, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is what came to my mind too. It's a good assumption this is based off it. I hope so too. :D

@ThunderIce

Murphy's law states that anything that can go wrong WILL go wrong, and at the worst possible time.

In other words, this fix is going to be EPIC.

Tempest Peak said...

Well, I've never seen Murphy's Law or Planes, Trains and Automoboles, so the plot will be a nice surprise.

where's the irc?

KriahFawkes said...

One of the tags is "Murphy's Law"?

Oh goodness, this can't end well.

Yet another "ponies in situations inspired an awesome movie" fic. So far none of these have disappointed, looking forward to reading this... probably today.

John said...

For those of you who asked, yes, this was inspired by Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and I'm tickled pink that so many people here have seen that film! I grew up with that movie as a kid, it's an absolute classic.

Albeit, the plot of this story is only loosely based on that film, but there will be some references to the film as this story goes on...

Silfir said...

Awesome, the last carriage is completely empty! What a completely unsuspicious stroke of luck! SCORE! ... You silly, silly ponies.

Predictable as the first chapter was, this is promising to be quite the adventure!

FreezingShock said...

Not another story that seems interesting.. The list of fanfics I need to read is growing faster than I can read them.

Dancing Lotus said...

Love the film, hopefully and most likely I will like this too lol

lesserpoet said...

This should be fun, and most of the stories I've been following have either died or finished up. Nice.

DPV111 said...

Great start, looking forward to more.

CaptainDash said...

There was a point where I kinda wanted them to arrive safely in Manehatten, but if it's going to be a My little Hangover type fanfic than I'm okay with it.

pmcollectorboy said...

Throw Granny from the Airship. Oh wait. Wrong crossover.

Author-Man said...

Uh-oh. FiMFiction is in a state of extreme Derp. Not only am I getting a 404 off of this link, but going to the main FiMFiction site continually redirects me to 0au.de. Anybody else having this issue?

noflashbang said...

@McoovYes I am also having that issue.

Alondro said...

@FreezingShock Tell me about it. My list is over 120 stories long. X_x

Yu Kigono said...

I'm having that problem too.

DPV111 said...

Photon said...

Photon said...

101Volts said...

Well, Going through the link takes me to the page but if I just go to www.fimfiction.net I end up on that other page.

Dun, Dun, Dunnnnnn?

DPV111 said...

Yay 2nd Chapter was funnier than the first.

EasyBreeze said...

I laughed when I heard the Equestrian version of Avis Car rental!

djthomp said...

Very entertaining, and thanks for the pointer to It's Always Sunny in Fillydelphia.

Derpmind said...

Oddly enough, this story is now at 4.9 star rating despite being tagged as a 5-star story.

TheWiselessStallion said...

@ThunderIce
Anything and everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

Derpmind said...

It's been bumped from 5-star to 6-star status! Congrats!
