30 Moons After

Meanwhile, back in the human city of Canterlot

I stood in front of the desk while the principal and vice-principal went through my records,which also happen to be the records of my doppelganger. After seeing her in the dean's office, I had more than a few questions.

"Well, miss Shimmer, it would appear you're the victim of identity theft." Principal Celestia said finally.

I sighed. "I can very well believe that, I was in the hospital with  a coma for four years after a car accident the summer before I was suppose to start my freshman year. I was suppose to come here to Canterlot High, and I don't blame you for thinking she was me. However, since we made it clear that she was NOT me, you must know something I don't, where did she come from and why did she look like me?"

"That, I'm afraid neither I nor my sister knows, however, I do happen to know a group of students who probably can tell us that information. Anyway, I'll contact Dean Deadly Serious to get this sorted out. We all need some answers." Celestia continued writing names on a piece of paper and handing it to me.

"Hmm, okay, thank you Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna." I said, and walked out of the office and closed the door behind me. However, I stopped and listened to the sisters conversation.

"Well, what do you make of this mess Luna?"Celestia asked.

"What do I make of it? I want to know where duplicates of people are coming from."

"Yes, it's funny really. When I first met Twilight Sparkle, I was sure I've never seen her in the school before, and you know I make it a habit to memorize the faces of our students. However, I checked the records and there was indeed a student of that name who was transferred here, save for at a later date. She was a mere four days early so I did think much of it."

She did prove to be someone special, you yourself said she truly was a princess Celestia, especially after that episode at the fall formal."

"I know, Luna, you and I both saw her go through the statue base, to her own world I would imagine."

"I still think we have that statue destroyed. But, why didn't you tell her that?"

"We don't know much more than that, this Sunset Shimmer would have had more questions. The only ones able to answer them would be those the doppelganger was close to, the students who's name I wrote on that paper."

"I see, still we have to make sure something like this doesn't happen again."

"And how, prey tell, do we do that?"

I walked away was the sisters began to argue about the subject. When I returned to Canterlot Community College, I handed Deadly Serious the list and he called down the students in question, six girls and a boy. Both Celestia and Luna joined us shortly afterwards.

"It has come to my attention that there was two of the same person and that you seven can explain this." Dean Serious said in a serious tone.

"Well, I'm not going to lie to ya, it's pretty far fetched." one who Identified herself as Applejack said.

"Don't worry, after what I saw yesterday, you can get me to believe in Big Foot." the dean replied.

"Okay, long story short, there is this alternate dimention where every person here is a pony. The Sunset Shimmer of that world came here and took human form. She lived her for five years until she was found out yesterday morning and went back to her world." another girl named Rainbow Dash explained.

It was silent for a good 5 minutes until Principal Celestia spoke up.

"Well, since it this other Sunset Shimmer has gone back to her world, which I think would be best if we kept under wraps, the Sunset of our world should simple take her place."

"I agree, the last thing we need is an investigation into something as confusing as this." Deadly Serious replied.

"Wait, what does that mean?" I asked.

"It means," Vice principal Luna stated, "that you got someone else to earn a high school diploma for you"

I guess I should count myself lucky I don't have to go through a high school education. Still, I highly doubt that Sunset and me had the same interest.

"What's my major?" I asked.

"Physics" Dean Deadly replied.

Okay, maybe we're not that different for each other. I did always want to become a physicist.

"That's actually what I was going to choose."

"Well, that means you'll be taking her courses then, as for your doppelganger running out, just say it was you and a family emergency had arise if anyone asks." the dean replied.

Once we had that was sorted out, the school was closing, so the eight of us walked to the bakery. The seven of them told me about my double, how she was a bully for two and a half years until she learned her lesson from Twilight Sparkle, another pony from the alternate universe where everyone is a pony, and impersonated the human Twilight. The story goes that pony Sunset stole pony Twilight's crown, (that other Twilight was a princess) and attempted to take over Equestria, a country in the alternate universe, using an army of teens that'll turn into ponies when they cross the portal. Thankfully, she was foiled and changed her ways afterwards. She too returned to her universe after our brief encounter.

"Wow, hard to believe anything like it has happened." I commented when they had finished.

"Like I said, far fetched." Applejack replied.

It may seem impossible to believe, but I was a bully like her once. I didn't have any friends. The difference is, I changed my ways after someone did something for me. I don't remember who it was or what they did, but they became my first friend, and I was soon able to make more.

"I know how your feeling right now, it was alot to take in at once for me too." Twilight said. "My advise is to listen to your gut. I know I've had no regrets doing so."

She turned to the boy, Flash Sentry and hugged him.

I stopped an listened to my heart, because it's usually more reliable than my gut. I felt they were trustworthy, even if I didn't know them that well.

"You guys want to hangout again tomorrow?" I asked finally.

The question was met with a cheer and a hug from Pinkie Pie, and the other followed. As stupid as it was, it felt kind of nice too.

I think this might work out just fine.
