This Can't Be Happening

This Can't Be Happening

Twilight approached the horse statue in front of Canterlot High shortly after eleven. That was the time Sunset Shimmer had told her to meet her there. Adjusting her glasses, she took deep breaths to calm her nerves.

The older girl hadn't said much about the meeting, just that she had something to tell her and that she was bringing a friend. Whatever that meant.

Reaching the statue, she saw Sunset standing under it with another girl she didn't know. She walked up to them, and gave Sunset a wary smile as she shoved her hands in her pockets. "So...what exactly is it that you needed to talk to me about?" She asked.

"First," Sunset said, gesturing to the girl beside her, "Adagio, Human Twilight Sparkle. Human Twilight, Adagio Dazzle."

Human Twilight? Why was Sunset referring to her as 'human' Twilight? She was just simply Twilight...yes? Why the need for adding 'human' in front of it?

"Wow," Adagio said, rubbing her chin and examining her up close and personal. (Too personal if anyone asked Twilight) "You're right, Shimmer. She is a spitting image of that other one."

The other one? What other one? As far as she knew, she was the only Twilight Sparkle in the world! What on earth were they trying to say?!

"Okay, someone wanna tell me what the heck is going on? What's with this 'other one' stuff and why did you call me 'human' Twilight?" Twilight pushed her glasses up on her face with a deep frown.

"Uh...well...." Sunset started, "That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about." She ran a hand through her two toned locks and sighed. "I know this is going to sound ludicrous but, there's another you."

Twilight was taken aback. More by confusion than shock. "Another me? That's impossible! There's only one me and that me is well, me! What are you talking about?!" She watched Adagio and Sunset share a look.

"Twilight, this other you isn't from this world. She's from a different world, a world full of sapient ponies." Sunset told her firmly. "Ponies...Ponies like me."

Twilight just stared at her. "What?" She whispered. "What?" She then repeated, this time a little louder. She put two fingers against her temple. "Are you seriously trying to confess to me that there is a world beyond us full of talking ponies, and that you come from it?!"

"I know it's a lot to take in, but it's true." Sunset said softly. "I was a unicorn and Adagio was a Siren hippocampus thingy." She pointed to the statue behind them. "And that's the portal to it."

Twilight snorted. "Oh so now you're going to tell me hippocampi exist?! What's next?! Pegusai control the weather and the moon and the sun don't rotate on their own?!"

Adagio frowned. "Hmmph. I'm over a thousand years old, you know. I could be your mother three hundred times over." She said, folding her arms. "Show some respect."

"A thou-" Twilight spluttered. She spun around to look at Sunset incredulously. "And how old are you?!"

Sunset raised her hands defensively. "Don't look at me, I've only been here for three years!" She sighed. "And yes, pegasi control the weather and the sun and the moon are controlled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Sunset replied. "Look, I know you don't believe us-"

"Believe you?!" Twilight shouted, starting to become hysterical. "First of all, it's not scientifically possible for anyone, let alone horses to control the sun and the moon! The moon has a gravitational pull to the Earth and the sun doesn't move, we revolve around it! You really expect me to believe that you are a unicorn from, from-" She blinked. "What is this place even called?!"

"Equestria," Sunset corrected her.

"I'm from Aquastria, the land below the sea. Haven't been there in years," Adagio added conversationally, examining her nails. "Real shame, the seaponies are lovely creatures to torture."

"Torture?!" Twilight repeated, she turned to Sunset. "What the hell is she talking about?!" She demanded, waving her arms wildly. Twilight wasn't one to curse, (If one could even consider hell a curse at all,) but this whole thing was just so...bizarre.

"Equestria is a land full of magic." Sunset explained. "Unicorn Magic, Pegasus Magic, heck, even Earth Ponies have some Magic. And we have lots of creatures like hippocampi and hydras, ursas, and a bunch of other ones I can't remember."

"That doesn't explain the torture!" Twilight reminded her.

"I was getting to that," She responded, rolling her eyes. "There's good magic and there's bad magic. Me and Dagi, well we used to possess some really bad mojo. I turned into a she-demon and she was a Siren who fed off the misery and strife of others. Now she's a human who feeds off of hamburgers and tacos."

"Yes, thanks to you and your...friends..." The former Siren said, playing with the (now useless) amulet around her neck. "Though do tell the human how me and my idiots had our powers for hundreds of years while you only had it for all of twenty minutes."

Sunset made a sound that sounded like a dog growling. "Long story short I kinda sorta brought an ancient artifact belonging to you, the other you, who's a princess by the way, through the portal." She tapped the smooth marble behind her. "I wanted to use it to take over Equestria with an army of high school students turned ponies."

"You brought an ancient artifact from another world into this one and you didn't think of the negative consequences that it would have had on you?!" Twilight asked in pure disbelief. "And don't you think it would have been completely futile to go back into a world you haven't been in for years to battle princesses who control the freaking sun and moon?!"

"Huh." Sunset blinked. "When you put it that way, it almost sounds asinine and half assed."

"That's because it is!" Twilight shouted and Adagio deadpanned in unison.

"And what's that thing around your neck?" Twilight demanded, pointing to Adagio.

"Oh this? This is where my power used to come from. But thanks to Shimmer and the other you now all I have left is this little piece of what it used to be." Adagio snarled.

Twilight shook her head. "I'm not even gonna ask."

"Anyway, I have proof that everything we've said is true." Sunset pulled out a tome from behind her back that had the same design on the cover of it as the one on her shirt. "This, is how I communicate with the other you." She said, presenting it to Twilight.

"It's just a book." Twilight said flatly. "I don't understand how anyone could- What are you doing?!"

"Telling Twilight of the current situation," Sunset responded, scribbling something in the book. Twilight couldn't make out what it was, but to be honest it all looked like a bunch of squiggly lines.

"And done." Sunset said, dotting what Twilight assumed was a period. Moments later, the book buzzed like cell phone, and Twilight just stared in awe as Sunset opened it. The older girl handed it to her with a smirk. "It's for you."

Twilight's eyebrows furrowed but she took the book anyway, her eyes not believing what she was seeing. "Either she has really bad hand writing, or this is in a different language because I can not read a single word this says."

"Oh! Forgot you can't read Equestrian," Sunset said apologetically, taking the book back.

"Equestrian?" Twilight mouthed to herself but let it go. She was honestly so done right now she didn't care anymore.

"I'll read it to you," Sunset said, clearing her throat.

Dear Twilight,

I am writing to you to show you that Sunset Shimmer is not lying. Everything she is saying is true, and you should listen to her. Also, get some friends. Being a social shut in isn't fun.

Twilight blinked. "Did...Did I just get insulted....By myself?"

"Appears so," Adagio told her, giving her a once over. "Though she's not wrong, you look like you spend your nights in a basement lab coming up with conspiracy theories."

"Ahaha," Twilight laughed nervously. "You don't say..."
