3. "Morgue in Morgue St"

2. "Joyride"

Break of dawn on Canterlot area, Sunset stands up at the Sun and after recomposing herself, goes inside, eyes red from crying, gets an apple from the kitchen table and bits on it while she muses

"The Apple clan did it better"

then she goes to her bedroom to prepare her backpack for her classes, she's seriously considering to take a day off...

Then, the doorbell rang, Maud opened the door and received whoever who was at the door.

Sunset put on her backpack and while holding the apple with her teeth, she gone downstairs, stopping just a room away of the door after hearing her name on the visitor's voice.

"We want to make some questions to this Sunset Shimmer"

Sunset Shimmer, now curious, peeks at the entrance and after gawking two cops, she tries to sneak out, but her pal Lyra interrupts her

"Hiiiii Shimmy!"

Loud steps sound, the cops were now blocking Shimmer's escape route.

"Hi, Miss Shimmer, we are Commander Brass and Officer Cooper from the C.P.D., we want to have a chat with you"

Officer Cooper goes on after Brass,

"we want to escort you to Coroner's office, to identify a body, we suspect it can be related to you, we at first called it 'Jane Doe' but after an AFIS search your name came out, We fear she’s someone from your family... "

Last night dream flashed before Sunset again. Nervous, Sunset Shimmer tries to squirm herself out of the hook.

"Uhh, sorry I don't think I would enjoy to do that..."

Officer Cooper rebutted

"Oh well, at first, we genuinely believed the body was you, but both Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna told us that you where pretty much alive, but we still suspect she’s perhaps related to you..." Sunset Shimmer After clearing her throat said.

"Then I can't refuse to go, please Maud, be a dear and take my backpack to my room"

When Sunset left with the cops, before the door was closed fully Maud said

"Please Lyra, be a dear and take this backpack to Sunset's room".

4. 5140

3. "Morgue in Morgue St"

In no time the three were heading to Coroner's office.

Officer Cooper, a freckled redhead on her 30-ish says to Sunset (who's on the backseat)

"Your first time in a police car?"

Sunset who almost didn't even heard just said "huh?"

Cooper repeats her question, and Sunset answers actually to the question (too much honestly)

"huh... on the back it's the first time, I used to drag a constabulary cart on Canterlot"

the apparent weirdness of the answer, while accurate left Cooper puzzled and made her quit asking.

Commander Brass as on cue asked

"Soo, you did drag constabulary CARTS on CANTERLOT?"

Sunset Shimmer tries to fix her not-so-random mistake,

"I was meaning I used to drive Constabulary prop 'cars', yes, props made for movies, my dad rented them, but those were way more comfortable than those plastic seats *OUCH*"

Cooper says "dear, just place your arms behind you, trust me"

Sunset did that and in no time felt good once again (at least on shoulder pain)

"Thanks, now is amazingly comfortable, oh, we arrived..."

They leave the car (not Sunset, she had to wait for Cooper to open her door and release her belt)

"Thanks, you guys know your backdoor handles are broken right?"

Cooper replies "it's for handling drunks, we don't want them to leave a moving vehicle and get hurt"

"It's over here, yes, this door, I'l go ask for the Coroner, then we'll go to the iceboxes". Said Commander Brass.

"Hi I am Steve Hooves, the coroner."

Sunset says "Stiff Hooves?"

"No, Steve, hated this joke back on faculty, it sounds like a dead horse joke or something"

Sunset asked "Joke?" but got no answer.

"B46... 42... 44... Here! "Steve opens the icebox (actually just your everyday electric corpse container) then says "it's not too badly decomposed, it mummified naturally, but I have this Mentol stick if you want some"

Then Steve removes the sheet and as with a mirror Sunset Shimmer looks at herself, practically

"I I it's me but not!"

The body looked not quite serene, she was still on her last unnatural contorted resting position, she seemed to have a blow on her head, some stains of dried blood on her now whited out hair, her mouth partially open like as trying to scream, a scream frozen in time...

"she's dead from 3 years ago likely, difficult to date, we didn't found insect remains, body froze instantly and then mummified,.."

Steve was stopped by Cooper when she saw Shimmer getting sick on a bin

"please Stiff, cut the details"

"it's Steve- oh, sorry... Just I feel on home talking like this, my patrons won't complain... Except that one with catalepsy, we cut on his skull with a bonesaw like thi..."

"Please Steve! cut it!" now was Comander cooper who stopped him. Steve shied away after hiding the corpse back. leaving Shimmer and the cops alone Shimmer was bawling now, over the now closed refrigerator.

"It's me! but I'm here how is that possible?"

5. Need no help with the "pigs"

4. 5140

Cooper hugs slowly the shivering mess of Sunset Shimmer cooing at her.

"Aw, come on, it can't be you, you're here, there can't be more than one of anybody..."

Shimmer now muses something to herself on the lines of

"Magic, don't need explaining, also I was a pony from another world"

but cooper just hear the word Magic and then some mumbles

"Dearie, do you were there when that crazy demon gone nuts on the C.H.S.? That was referred as Magic by a lot of eyewitnesses..."

Sunset Shimmer now full of resolve stands and says with a now more collected voice

"Don't want to talk about that, let's say it was terrible. Tell me how she died?"

On cue Steeve appeared again opening the refrigerator, then took a soda stored under the mummy's elbow, after taking a swig, he says,

"there, she received obviously a blow on the head with a heavy casual weapon, it can be a portable computer, because we found this"

he did put on table a petri dish encasing a clear silver colored

"L.F.C. 5140 PC Portable" logo.

Cooper kickly said "How can someone make a wound like this with a laptop? "

Sunset replies

"it's a 5140, a very old computer, a 40 pound portable, it means you can DRAG it arround"

An amazed Brass comments

"why do you know that much?"

"I got no boyfriend and just 6 friends, I'm not the social type, I suggest talking to the teqquies, search old computer aficionados"

"like you you mean ?"

Commented Brass.

"I know I am a suspect, I know..."

replied Shimmer.

Cooper then stood up, halting Brass's barrage

"Come on Brass, she had quite enough flack". "Really it's just circumstantial, too early to randomly press charges on anybody"

When they were leaving the Coroner's office, Sunset, now willing this mess solved, throught

"I'l go check on Mouse from the 3C, the Canterlot Computer Club. He had a 5140"

Cooper then commented "I'm sorry you had to pass through this dear..." -

"Thanks,oh, please, you guys than leave me on CHS building?" replied Shimmer.

6. Teen love Hot love.

5. Need no help with the "pigs"

Later Shimmer was waving the officers bye. When Lyra approached Sunset with her backpack.

"Hey, Maud told me to give this to you, any problem with the pigs?"

A facepalming Sunset replied "do not call them that, for your information, they were nice ones..."

-Uh, Lyra said looking puzzled "what was the beef with them?"

"Not much, they wanted to show me about my... ...Parents, not them..." quickly lied Sunset, who from day one used the 'dead parents' card as a infiltration trick, she lied because she wanted to keep her doppelgänger issue secret at the moment.

A commotioned Lyra now tried to comfort Sunset Shimmer with an arm over her elbow

"oh, it's terrible, aren't cops supposed to check DNA before? Also, can I have a hand? For purposes..."

"I think they are supposed to, also, NO!" said Shimmer. "Uh, I gotta go, bye Lyra!"

Lyra looked at Bon-Bon while asking "Did I say something wrong?"

"Quite, dear, Quite, you tend to be such a freak from time to time"

Sunset Shimmer was now raiding the nerd fraternity, approached a fat guy with a ponytail sitting on a designer table with a Spiro-graph. "Hey Doc S, did you seen Mouse?" -

"He's on general lounge, uh hey Bell-Zee-Butt!"

"I hate that nickname you should know"

"Ok ok, oh, hey Shimmer, did you consider the Spiro-graph decadence on the increment of youth bands? Ponder on it..."

"Uh sure, bye Doc S..."

Sunset ran to the general lounge, mouse was there, on a go getter attitude, Sunset closed the gap between them and quickly slapped the snot out of the Nerd Kid, making him lose his thick glasses.

"Hey Sunset, what's with the tough love?"

"shut up, give me all your attention span as limited as it is, and answer me, were you got your 5140?"

"Oh, the old Bessie... someone took it from a table on last open doors day... but why you ask?"

Sunset Shimmer, now quite ticked off, said to herself, loudly enough to Mouse to hear... "Perfect, just perfect each time I run I lose a horseshoe I fail harder than a funfair BB gun!"

A stunned Mouse blinked on the now fuming Sunset Shimmer. "Uh Flash Sentry has a 5140 similar to mine, but without the badge"

"... So, Flash's next suspect..." Through Sunset, also Mouse's not fully out of the hook yet...

"Bye dear, if you need me, whistle. Not"

Said a mock-flirting Sunset to Mouse.

" The Little creep..." sotto vocced Shimmer.

Shimmer when leaving the building throught

"When did I turn into a meanie? Nah don't care." she shugged in indiference and gone to the 'cool guys'mess hall.

There, Flash Sentry was nibbling on a sub, "Ohh Gouda cheese and onion..."

Sunset who was behind him complemented with "... It hits the spot doesn't it?"

A startled Flash spins to meet his former GF, "Oh, uhh, nice to see ya It's a surprise..."

"and you're not surprised any more, please, can I see your 5140?"

A still stunned Flash just says "My what?"

"The fatass laptop."

Flash replies "not here, but you can follow me to my bedroom and check it..."

Sunset says "sure... your bedroom" then they leave the mess hall, Chit chatting their way towards habitational area.

6. Teen love is the purest

Both left the cafeteria and were en route to CHS's bedroom facilities, both felt somewhat 'nice'

Walking, the day wasn't really perfect, was a sad, dull day Sunset decided to 'break the ice'

"So, Flash, how's life on you?"

"Fine, since you left me it can't get any better, kept the furniture, burnt the bed through..."

"Sad, a very comfy bed... sure you and your broad enjoyed it."

"Because of my broad, something interesting happened there..."

"Flash, cut it. Anyways, we arrived."

Flash became ashamed at Sunset's words. How can the 1st fall formal couple end like this?

They both enter the dorm-room building, on the foyer Sunset meets Mouse once again, but Mouse opts to do its namesake and just tries to banish silently.

"Tell me Sunset, what's up with Mouse?"

"He knows..."

Eventually both ends on Flash's bedroom, Sunset sits on her former bedside, while prodding on her feelings... "What happened to us? At first, we were such 'a deal', a mutually caring couple, such lovebirds... Oh yeah, her."

Flash was rummaging on his closet, eventually reaching on what he was looking for, he got the case's metal handle and yanked it whole, whatever was on top suddenly occupied the now free space, Flash blew off some stray dust of the computer's case and carried to Sunset

"Here it is"

Sunset examined the dull gray surface, on the corner the name plate was supposed to be, was effectively a nameplate "L.F.C. 5140 Portable Personal Computer" Sunset asked:

"Flash, the plate seems original isn't it?"

"Yep it is, fully original; there are guys who put TFT screens on these systems... Can you believe?"

Sunset now really puzzled, suddenly realizes she just "Bought the farm" with Mouse.

"That cheeky bastard! Mouse had one, but rather than show it to me he said his was stolen and suggested you did it..."

A surprised Flash answers:

"Well, Mouse has one, he got it a day he was dumpster diving, it worked but was seriously beaten, still can't understand your tone towards him."

"He lied to me, if he still has it, look, Flash I today knew something I have to sort out... It's some story..."

"Don't worry, I’ll fix some coffee and you can explain all you want to me, I’ll be here for you always..."

Sunset Shimmer was now with a mug on her hand, her old '#1 Girlfriend' one.

Took a sip before continuing her story

"So I came to check your 5140, sorry, took everything Mouse said as true"

Sunset then almost cried, Flash quickly held her in a hug.

"There there, I’ll trust you and stand by your side"

Sunset then hugged Flash tighter...

"I still can't remove that girl's face from my mind... who and why decided

She had to die?"

Flash now felt like falling again for Sunset, even if she dumped him long ago, she was

So vulnerable now... Not needy, Sunset can handle anyone's own ass on a silver platter, but now

Was desperate for a friendly hand, someone she can trust...

"Life lacks any value for some people... Everyone's just a pawn on their little games. Trust me

Sunny, we’ll help her rest in peace"

Sunset rested her head on Flash's elbow, felt so right for her, gave her a heavy feeling of peace

And confidence... At same time Flash put his hand on Shimmer's elbow. His hand slowly progressed downwards; Shimmer then adjusted her position and kissed Flash, who surprised at first soon replied back. No more words were exchanged there that day; they were just a couple who,

Once again was a couple, it was a day for them to rediscover their bodies, to rediscover

passion, they were besides the world, they trusted each other fully.

8. Twily

7, Barbara

At 10:00 AM Sunset was awoke by the doorbell, she stood covering herself with a gown, going commano after

refusing to wear same pants two days in a row, obviously on Flash Sentry's room pants weren't a commodity...

She then saw at Flash Sentry getting up, she felt all sorts of emotional and fuzzy deep inside, she let a smile

escape her lips, then gone to the door phone.

"Hi, we are from Canterlot P.D. is Sunset Shimmer here? Uhh... Mr Sentry?"

Sunset, picking on the voice simply said:

"Cooper? It's me Sunset!"

Her interlocutor replied.

"Oh good, we were looking after you since 7:00..."

"Yep... Why I have the pleasure I ask?"

"Sunset, we have news about your um... "Bussiness of yesterday" We may be after something."

"Ok, I'l open the door..."

Soon Cooper was up the 3rd Floor were Flash had his bedroom, Sunset Shimmer was already waiting at the door.

"Hi Agent Cooper, come on enter..."

"Please call me Barbara, we found some new details, Steve Hooves, the coroner got this after our visit"

She then produced a slip of photo paper, the image depicted a crumpled piece of paper lit by a blue source of light.

"This is a slip we found on the body's pocket, it was faded away, but the CSI got this under black light"

The pictured slip, had a ghost image from a screen capture of "The Anarchy Cupcake" a BBS site

that used to belong years ago to Pinkamena Diane Pie, the depicted issue was about a portal to

another world under CHS campus statue.

"Barbara, I know this, I have this whole Bulletin stored on a pendrive, if memory serves me well

it depicted how Pinkie managed to travel to another world were we where are there but as a sort of... Equines?"

Barbara Cooper was now truly amazed...

"Ms Shimmer, so you give some credit to Pinkie's story?"

"Barbara, please, call just Sunset, deal? " Sunset was now tripping on eggshells... "After what happened

on the CHS, with all that 'magic' the demon girl... I cannot deny it"

"You?" Barbara held a shaking hand of Sunset "I checked what transpired on the Fall Formal, you were the demon girl.

I can't fully understand it either."

"It's a delicate topic..."

Barbara simply said "I suppose..."

Barbara then just held Sunset by her left elbow, making Sunset flinch at first but eventually registering the fact as comforting.

Sunset kept going on, even if deforming the reality a bit. (She had to cover up her past as a Pony)

"On The Anarchy Cupcake Pinkie even found the portal opened each full moon..."

A puzzled Barbara replied "What do you mean?"

"Just that someone can cross it, travel to another world... This is amazing..."

"Sunset, forgive me in advance, but I need to be quite candid with you. I am here for a suspected murder and you keep skipping

on me."

Sunset was now in tears, real tears, she felt like she lost a friend.

Barbara now, dropped her fangs and hugged Sunset... "Please, tell me, you know who's the body on the coroner?"

"I-It's me! but how? It's from the future? From the past? I want to know! Is that much to ask for?" told Sunset more desolated.

Barbara took a couple of minutes blinking while trying to process the information.

"Sunset, I feel the truth on your words, on some, also I feel you are hiding something look, I want

to help you, but first you have to tell me Everything."

A partly composed Sunset ask Barbara to drive her to the campus entrance, after a couple of minutes they are before the

CHS statue, under it there was a quadrangular monolyth with 4 mirrors around it, before the monolith stood both Sunset Shimmer and agent Barbara Cooper. Sunset Shimmer kept explaining.

"... so, I left the Princess side and with the crown I crossed the portal in the mirror."

Barbara told her "I see, so that crown is also an "Element"? That turns this princess also in a Demon? "

Sunset quickly correcter her "no no no, with Twilight happens the real magic, the elements of a true friendship can conquer everything."

9. where stuff happens and a pissed hen ends in space.

8. Twily

"That's weird, you know? But back then my mother used to tell me strange stuff perspired around the CHS monolith.

I tell you try to contact Twilight Sparkle, she can help you beyond I can."

"Tell me this isn't a joke, Twilight studies at Crystal prep, but she's on the CHS due to alumni exchange.

I'm sure she's just curious after all the Magic that seems to happen here... I'l follow your suggestion and contact her."

Sunset hugs a warm goodbye to Cooper and walks towards the applied science hall.

There Twilight was almost as deranged as her equine cousin clearly non-happy about some doodad...

"Fooey! Delta peak in graphic shows an 1.21 GigoThaums as average! That's heavy!"

Sunset knocks on door frame while saying loudly what she was doing "Knock Knock..."

An absent minded Twilight Sparkle answers "Oh Sunset, come on enter..."

Sunset sits on Twilight's desk. "Twilight, I have to ask you about the portal on the Monolith... Because, there's a portal, did you know? "

"I know, that opens every full moon, I doubt it to be deliberate, just chance, but chance doesn't exist..."

Sunset replies: "Look, I know it just opens once every 30 Moons, not every full moon."

"Who's the holder of faux info now? The Monolith has activity every moon... It's just harder to walk through the portal.

Unless you have this." Twilights hands an obvious prototype to Sunset "Look, the top left button is for powering it on and off, the

top right one is for fully activate every portal for 5 seconds."

Sunset asks: "And the third one?"

A giggling Twilight snorts while saying "It's for when shit hits the fan."

Sunset now felt even more uneasy before Twilight "Ooookay..."

Twilight gave the device to Sunset "Here, take it Duzbelle..."

"Hardly Har Har Twy, but you got props for the most clever name, also, why by Jeepers Creeps you gave me this?"

Twilight distantly told Sunset Shimmer "I got copy, the MK2 actually packs a nuke on the 3rd button, anyway, can you tell me something?"

"Shoot, Twi."

"Its about our names, I'm Twilight Sparkle while you're Sunset Shimmer, both names are synonyms either on a word level and the whole name... Isn't it weird? Look, I ask myself those questions all the time when I need ol' I.Q. 300 running."

"Uhh, sorry, can't have an answer ready for you... Also I need to get going somepo... someBODY to see."

"Then get going, like someone once said. Man has two damnations, one is not reaching their goal, the other is reaching it., also, not part of the saying, but you forgot your pants"

"Don't need to repeat it, Ta-Ta!"

Sunset left the laboratory ashamed but juggling on her hand the portal device, it was the size of a lemon and charcoal coloured

besides the buttons there were some loose cables, it looked dangerous...

"I wonder what can I do with this weird doo dat..."

10. Two... Light

9. where stuff happens and a pissed hen ends in space.

Sunset was writing to Princess Twilight, using that old book as a chat of sorts, it felt weird when

Twilight's words were appearing and the hour-long lag it took words to appear only made it worse,

On their first chats, Twilight seemed to reply randomly. Luckily, both had devised a way to write

With some coherence, they close their books until it buzzed. It was slow, but worked.

Sunset sent Twilight a short note.

"I’ll be there soon, we need to talk."

Sunset got herself before the portal Monolith, studying the polished black onyx it was made, she

Pondered her whole life....

Her book suddenly buzzed alive.

Twilight replied.

"Sunset, how do you expect me to take you seriously? Today isn't even a full moon on your

Dimension, for Celestia's sake!"

Sunset then got the portal device; she pushed the power button, the onyx then made strange ripples

And then it deformed as in a vertical water pond, making a huge sideways splash, the black onyx

Then looked like a sea of Mercury, Sunset approached the Monolith and tentatively touched the surface

It was neither cold nor hot, it lacked temperature, and it also lacked any resistance to her hand movement,

She then overcompensated and got elbow deep on the Monolith, and then it actually pulled her inside.

Once she fully broke the surface, then she was at the opposite end of the Monolith, not as she actually trespassed it, she knew she was actually inside; it was an infinite black depth, soon interrupted by a cluster of stars approaching her, or she was approaching them, she wasn't sure, she was then trying to hold her breakfast in her tummy because she now felt ingravid, also inertia was pushed under the bus, and luckily, because Sunset now was dragged at an increasingly ludicrous speed.

She approached towards the 'stars' and eventually travelling inside a tunnel made of said stars and even whole galaxies were there. Now her mind apparently began playing tricks on her, she heard the first 'I love you' Flash Sentry said

She heard Twilight vanquishing her devil inside, parts of the song of the Sirens... she approached

to a bigger star in a beeline, then she impacted it, now she was lying in grass besides a full body

Mirror, she tried to get up, only to fail.

"Oh right, hooves... Pony, all that jazz."

She pranced to the mirror to meet her, a rather shocked pony.

"Cool, it worked... Twilight owes me some Tea and biscuits"

She pranced on the grass; there was some architecture of Canterlot facture, the grass interrupted to let space to train tracks, she assumed due the orientation of Canterlot's skyline the tracks were from the Friendship Express to Ponyville-Sweet Apple Acres-Appleloosa scenic line.

She pranced down the tracks; she knew there was a station somewhere....

Somewhere...

8 Hours Later, exhausted, Sunset arrived to a Station, the sign said "Ponyville" Sunset

Then spewed enough curses to make a sailor blush. A pony on the station turned her head towards

Sunset Shimmer, nodding her head in disapproval on her profanity fallout while saying “Such young thing, such rudeness…”

Sunset then meet Snails, from miss Cherilee's class he was curious at the random cursenami

asking about, Sunset just said.

"Had to travel through a wormhole."

"A wormhole? You had to dig?"

Tired, Sunset said.

"Look, I hope for you an easy life, were you never realize how dumb you are."

Then a confused Snails, thanked her, not sure on how to feel.

Sunset left the station prancing to Ponyville's plaza, were she hoped to get her bearings

from that map Twilight send her a time ago. She knew she lived on Golden Oaks library.

When she arrived to Plaza, she gone to the town hall and asked for directions.

The guard that was stationed there replied mechanically.

"Golden Oaks, go down the Street at your left three blocks, then, you go north, cross the river. It is

before the Windmill"

Thanks, but no thanks I found someone who can likely help me.

Effectively, Pinkie Pie was doing some errands across the street, her saddlebags filling

with all sorts of fun and novelty items.

"Thanks, oh, also I need 20 assorted balloons... Uh, hey Shimmer!" Pinkie saw her across

the street, and with a big grin she approached Sunset Shimmer. The store owner came out with a paper bag

"It would be 5 bits, Oh, drat why she's Pinkie Pie when she won't?"

Pinkie surprised Sunset by appearing on her field of vision upside down and over her

"Hi Shimmy! you got tired of humans? You want to try our local cuisine? That means

having some hanky panky fun with local stallions? Wink! Wink!" Pinkie even said the last line while winking.

"No Pinkie, its just business..."

Pinkie suddenly gasped in a sudden revelation.

"Do you mean you found your dead body on the human dimension and you're about to know

that your likeness from someone of the 30 dimensions is trying to kill her dimensional sisterhood so she

can become the only one?" Pinkie's hair then deflates, "Sunset, that's so sad!" then Pinkie

hugged Sunset, who desperately needed it. "Uh, Pinkie, I need to see Twilight"

"Then go see her, Silly!" After that Pinkie hair began to slowly inflate, while taking a bow to protect her friends wherever she was at any moment.

Sunset made it to Golden Oaks, now just charred remains, she then gawked besides the burnt down structure an almost carbon copy made of glass, or crystal , she approached the door and knocked at it, after some seconds, the door opened, and Spike appeared. He looked at Sunset and quickly said.

“Hi Ms Shimmer, Twilight talked to me about your visit, come in, but she’s no expecting you… This would be a surprise to her.”

Sunset followed Spike While looking at the place setup, yep, it looked like a Library and a house’s foyer combined, and the result wasn't ugly at the least. Twilight then appeared at the stairs, she looked at her and squealed like a school-filly. Quickly prancing down the steps.

“Sunset! How you made it to Equestria? Isn't even full moon, not even a setup for the Rainbow Bridge to work…”

“The what? Twilight?”

“Sunset, the portal linking both worlds, that term was coined by me after that was how it looked the times I transited it”

Sunset, after getting a parchment and a quill told to Twilight.

“Twilight, how I can explain it, the portal is actually a wormhole, look our 3 Dimensional space, can be isometrically depicted on a piece of paper, then she got the parchment and drawn two points separated 3 inches away, those separate points can be together at zero distance if the paper is folded along the intersection, separated by an equal distance to both points, a wormhole works this way and allow us to move great distances in no-time, curving space.”

“Oh my…did you became the clever girl didn’t you?”

“Don’t rub it, it’s just that I pay attention on class, and also that I hit hard the books.”

“Oh my… Why do you do that Sunset? I would never do that to books.”

“Neither I, that’s just an expression. Also, showing you this wasn’t my main reason. Look I found a terrible thing. On my dimension, Canterlot Police found me!”

“Found you?” Twilight looked puzzled.

“They found my body! I was DEAD! Look, I’m sure she was me, but she was dead for a while, even years."

Twilight was now in the verge of crying out of empathy with her friend, she wanted to help her “Sunset, look, I can tell you something for sure, did you ever met your ‘Canterlot high’ equivalent?”

“Didn’t know everypony had an equivalent there until I met Principal Celestia, it seemed confusing at first until I guessed both worlds are actually parallels, also, the inhabitants refer to themselves as ‘humans’ so, ‘Human World’ seems more accurate. Also, you are implying the dead body was my equivalent on ‘Human World’?”

“Sunset I didn’t imply anything, you did and found your answer by yourself, how you found the body of this Hiuuuu Man?

“It’s Human, just separate the word in two, huuu and Man and you’re all set, didn’t found the body by myself, Canterlot Police contacted me, they supposed I was the body. She had a blow on her head, body was frozen due to cold climate on that region, she was found on a permafrost area”

“Sunset #2 could had been attacked by somepony”

Sunset corrected twilight “Is ‘somebody’ there…In Human World there’s just one dominant species, humans.”

“So, somebody then? Okay, but if she was attacked, by who? And Why?”

Twilight after staring her own hooves for sometime, asked to Sunset:

“Also, how did you beat the full moon rule?”

Sunset then rummaged on her saddlebag, that before was her backpack for the portal controller. And gave it to Twilight

“There, Human Twilight gave this to me, look if you press the first button, it powers on, then the second button opens a portal on any moment, no more ‘almost 3 year gap between uses’ the third button makes it explode.”

“Okay first two buttons make sense, but who makes it explode? Also, why didn’t you just thrust me and not an human doppelgänger of me?”

Sunset was now getting annoyed. “Look, as your doppelgänger, that Twilight made the device you’re now holding.”

Twilight, knowing she was caught, replied with just a dry “Understood.” Then after some idle seconds she complemented “Look if this machine allows you to travel when you want, I suggest we both go there, so I can see with myself and cooperate to sort this out”

“Thanks Twilight, I’ll be happy to ride along besides you, ride, or walk, or whatever.”

“Wouldn’t have it any other way Sunset. Spike!!! I have to be out of town for some time, take care of everything here. Also get a Mouse from your corn hole and give it to Owliscious.”

Shocked Sunset asked “How corn hole?”

“Corn hole is where the cereal are stored on the paltry, sometimes, mice crawl in there. What did you supposed it was?”

“Never ever, lose your innocence Twilight. You don’t want to know, just believe me.”

They got train tickets on Ponyville. And after accommodating on the caboose they idly chit chatted the whole travel to Canterlot.

“So, how’s life treating you past the rainbow?”

“Peachy Twilight, do you remember Flash Sentry? Guess who’s together now… Us!”

Twilight felt amazed, she knew Flash used to date Sunset, until she dumped him, that relation reviving was close to be unexpected.

“Sunset I’m so happy about you! Look, we’re going to raid the shops on both Canterlots, we can even get pampered on the Spa, also try again to do a pajama party… With s’mores and everything!”

“Everything as in everything everything?”

“Yes!” replied Twilight on a voice so high only bats and dogs could fully register her words “We are going to be. So. Much. Girl.”

Finally train stopped on terminal station, both stepped down from it Sunset gawking around, “So this is now the station were it ends? Years ago before going trough the mirror, the Canterlot station was like 5 minutes down the street at prancing speed and station wasn’t terminal, it gone up the Manehattan beaches, now that was scenic!”

Twilight commented,

“Right, so do you know were are we going?”

“It was a park, or someplace with grass, near the tracks… I supposed the station was southern, so that’s were we need to go.”

So, southern both gone, eventually they reached the ‘park’ that wasn’t a park at all, but remains of the Southern palace, destroyed back when a ten times worse Discord version popped from the mirror with mean intentions. That was a year ago, about the time Flurry Heart got her Cutie Mark.

Sunset then stepped on the grass that once was the palace’s foyer “Look, grass, garden, think I’l try a sample…” she then lowered her head, when she almost reached her goal she was stopped by Twilight “Don’t try it, Sunset, it’s discorded grass, if you eat it you’ll get chronic trots for the rest of your life, about a week…”

“Dully noted, thanks.”

When they reached the mirror, Sunset took out the Portal Generator and pushed the #2 button, nothing happened… Then after fiddling with it for a minute, she pushed #1 button, the machine came to life with a high frequency pitch, then she pushed the #2 button, now it worked, Sunset took note to comment to Twilight about the need to put a LED somewhere indicating that the machine was on.

They centred themselves to walk through the mirror, this time, Sunset steeped first, experiencing again her former experiences, there were the inertia and gravity suppression and the instant queasy feeling, Twilight who entered after Sunset was enjoying the ordeal a bit too much, Squealing on nerdy joy the whole way plus making ‘interesting’ comments “ Look! That’s a White Midget! That’s a supernova That’s a black hole…. No no no no This is bad.” She felt the gravity pulling her towards the point of singularity, a point with infinite density and infinitely small, just the minimum to hold matter… She tried desperate to hold on Sunset who had an idea, she got the Portal Generator with her mouth, and managed to press button #3 and then hurdling it towards the black hole, it before time slowed too much, exploded on an orb of white light, it was the light what pushed both back in the wormhole, they both contemplated the birth of a star… “Now that’s something you don’t see on everyday, I think I’ll call it “Twilight Shimmer” after both of us.” “No way, it should be Sunset Sparkle for same reasons you commented”

“No! Twilight Shimmer you creep.”

“Nay! It’s Sunset Sparkle!”

“Come on! How you want to name a new star ‘Sunset’?”

“Did you get a feather on your brain while preening? Twilight is the separator of day to night, AKA a setting sun!”

“It has a nice ring on it!”

“Ohh yeah, we have to do whatever our Pwincess deawest wants…”

“That’s it, you’re getting it.” Twilight had Sunset’s mane on her hand and was pulling it without realizing that she.

A. had a human hand.

B. Sunset was becoming more and more human.

They popped out of the CHS monolith, and nearly hit someone’s parent, a obese man with green pants and white shirt, who was now profusely bleeding from his nose, he turned to see who hit him, but only saw a 6 Ft 8” Philadelphia hen who was now clocking for his neck, both began to exchange fist blows, they fought like a certain old toy with robots, mechanically, they landed punches on each other, eventually they got to the Space Centre then they got into a space shuttle that took off to space with it’s homicidal payload.

Then much less Viciously gone the fight of Shimmer vs. Sparkle, both pulling each other hair.

And exchanging insults, being Twilight’s innocent and with no hurting payload, but Sunset’s mouth was in need for some soap, permeating horrible curses only the tamest made it here.

“By Celestia I hope you survive your children!”

“Ha, I can only produce foals not children, joke’s on you…”

“Those foals can only exist if you even develop the nerve to actually meet a stallion.”

“Like Flash Sentry? You lost your chance with him, but you don’t want anypony else to have her chance decide yourself!”

“ Do not ever put that name on your mouth!” sunset now connected a right uppercut on Twilight, who fell square on the ground, unconscious, before Sunset can gloat on her victory she heard

the familiar voice of Barbara ‘babs’ Cooper “Come with me if you want to live” and then she fired

her gun, Sunset felt it instantly, the two prongs zapped her with a good deal of volts and just the right Amperage to not permanently hurt a healthy person, but she fell unconscious to the floor besides Twilight.

11 "The Big Blank Theory"

10. Two

Darkness.

Sunset opened her eyes; she was on a place oddly smelling like disinfectant the place was moving, she was on an ambulance, the paramedic that was there said.

“Okay, hold your breath, now let go the air.” She felt a sharp pain sensation when the paramedic was pulling the taser prongs, luckily for her, exhaling sort of dulled the pain. Then the paramedic, a woman on her high 20’s acted professional. When both prongs were out, she put them on a metal plate, and applied gauze soaked on Ethyl on the wounds, that made Sunset feel woozy… “ That’s normal, Ethylic Alcohol on your bloodstream can produce same effect as booze, enjoy it, lightweight…”

Slow traffic halted the Ambulance, the driver then connected the horn and the light-arc, the paramedic told Sunset “Keep calm, it’s just for the Traffic, I’m Teresa Tenderheart by the way.” Sunset Shimmer, presented herself, then tried to shock her the hand but her arm was sore from the fight before and winced in pain.

“Stay still, don’t try to move. Relax, your stretcher is locked by metal bars, isn’t going anywhere…” Sunset felt comforted by Tenderheart’s maternal character.

“I-It’s Twilight Okay?”

“Twilight?” Teresa Tenderheart then noted the name on her rubber glove with a pen. “Thanks, when we left the Canterlot High School she still was unconscious. “We had just the strangest day, first we got general alert after two weirdoes embarked on a Spacecraft and took off to space, I believe they crashed it on an oil refinery… And now this, two teen girls, ducking it out on the campus. Oh yes, Twilight just lost her consciousness, you got her good, don’t think too much about it, but, why were you fighting?”

“Boys.” Replied Sunset

The Driver then answered a radio call then knocked on the separator glass, Teresa Tenderheart moved to the pane and slided it. The driver told her that Twilight, (on other Ambulance), just awoke, she seemed fine.

“Also she explained that the fight was just uhh ‘Filly things about Stallions’. We are checking on her on the Hospital.”

Sunset thought “She’s fine…”

The Ambulance hit a bump and shacked violently. Tenderheart then told the driver to

“Take more care, you aren’t carrying Potatoes, Snails!”

“Sorry.”

The Ambulance then stopped on the Hospital’s admission area, Teresa then, opened the doors, got herself down undid the latches, and when Snails got there, both slide the stretcher down the rails.

When the stretcher released it’s legs, Sunset was now at belt height, Snails then got back in to the Ambulance and took the bottle that was connected to Sunset’s arm, when he put the bottle on the bottle holder on the stretcher , they gone to the admission area, eventually stopping on a corridor, here, you’ll wait here for a moment.

“Teresa, I’ll like to incorporate…”

Teresa approached her, and reached below the stretcher, after moving a lever, a half section of the mattress hinged up to 45 degree “Better?” “Yes, thanks.” “Ok, I’ll go to book you in”

Sunset was then left alone on her own thoughts , she heard her own name on a familiar voice. “Sunset, it’s me! I’m here!”

“T-Twilight! Oh golly! I’m sorry for that of before…”

Twilight then got a hearty laugh. “If I learnt something of friendship, is to let slide those things I got riled too…”

“Then, water under the bridge?”

“Water under the bridge, Sunset! Oh, you can keep the Human Flash, I’ll prefer the pony anyways. Also what’s a CAT? Not the animal I mean.”

“A C.A.T. stands for “Computerized Axial Tomography” it’s a non-invasive method to analyse internal organs for injuries.”

“Non invasive my plot! They want to slice my brain!”

Sunset huffed and face palmed “It’s computerized, it just has an X ray tube that takes repeated pictures and the computer makes a 3D model of it…”

“Oh… then it’s fine I think.”

Sunset then put on a serious face “It’s not that fine, you can’t go around speaking of ‘fillies and Stallions’ here, for two small details, first, implying a sentimental relation with a Stallion can at least get you shunned, here Humans are the only conscious beings, so it’s a Human plus a Human, everything else is frowned upon don’t forget you are a Human now. The point number Two is about they finding you are an Ay Lee eyI Ee eN, then you can kiss your ass goodbye because you’ll get Tomographed without X-ray machine, just a very sharp knife. Point got home?”

Stunned, Twilight just nodded. “Point in home, I can’t let them CAT me. They can find something…”

Sunset then told Twilight to approach her, then she got near her ear and whispered. “We have to do this…”

The doctors got to where Twilight was, still besides Sunset. “Hi I’m Dr Stable, Did you had a C.A.T. before?”

“Can’t say I did…”

“Please just a yes or not would be necessary.”

“…No Dr Stable”

Dr Stable then gave to Twilight a Document on a black support, also gave her a biro.

The Document had a space for her to type her name, then below were many checkboxes

With many conditions, she filled it like Sunset told her to do, She now was Twilight Sparkal, who had a metal hip, allergic to I.V. Contrast and a lack of tolerance to radiation.

Then she was asked to sit on a wheelchair and pushed on the C.A.T. area, her Document was took back. Twilight stood there waiting, idly twiddling her fingers… Doctor Stable walked to her. “Ms Sparkal, we discussed it, you can’t be scanned, we’ll put you on a bedroom and tomorrow I’ll check on you, I’m also a psychiatrist we’ll got you sorted out in no time…

Twilight then relaxed, she was off the hook until the next day…

When she got out of the C.A.T. waiting room she found Sunset Shimmer standing before a TV watching the news “… then the Shuttle collided with the Space Station Alpha, killing all of the Astronauts there, later it re-entered on the North Sea were it crashed on BP oil rig exploding and killing everybody ecologists are saddened about th…” Sunset powered off the TV… “Twilight! How did it go?”

“Em, they can’t scan me, the metal implant…”

Sunset then puts her arm on Twilight’s shoulder Twilight told Sunset that she was due to spend the night on the hospital and be checked by a psychiatrist the next day. Also she defused the situation with the Police before on the ambulance “So, you’re free to go, but tomorrow I have to try to keep suspictions away…”

“Nah, you would be free to go before dinner. Come with me to this bathroom.”

In the bathroom, after locking the door Sunset starts removing her hair pins “I’ll make your hair so you look like this world’s Twilight”

“But I don’t have glasses…”

“ Meh, you just had your eyes fixed with laser, you don’t need them anymore…”

“Okay then…”

After some minutes, Sunset did Twilight’s hair so she looked like Human Twilight “that was fast…”

“Yep it was, I don’t want to comb mine much either…”

Both came out the Bathroom looking great, Sunset’s hair looked a la Pinkamena while Twilight was a carbon copy of her twin minus the glasses, but now she had it covered.

Twilight got near Sunset’s ear “And now?”

“Now we walk out.”

“Just that easy?”

Sunset smiled, dear Twilight, you still have a lot to learn of this world, you just shut up and keep calm.”

“Nice, I’ll shut up and keep calm”

Both keep on walking, when they are about to leave the hospital, they see a policewoman twisting her hat with her hands. “Hi Sunset, look Twilight talked to me, you were just arguing about boys, I shouldn’t had to tase you I-I’m sorry.”

“That’s water under the bridge Barbara, right Twilight?” Twilight smiled meekly.

The three of them hugged, Barbara then looked at Twilight’s hair “Nice hair Twilight!”

Twilight then blushed furiously while twiddling her feet and looking the particularly interesting floor.

“Thanks, I did it in a moment, it was the bare minimum I can do to compensate her” commented Sunset.

“Wow she looks great, you have to do mine someday.”

Sunset smiled “Try to stop me, just not with the taser.”

Sunset then walked out of hearing distance then commented to Twilight “Ok, now we can go.” Twilight wasn’t there, she was still with Barbara, Sunset turned around and whistled to Twilight, who then walked towards Sunset.

“What do you think? I’m not a dog, look, you need to learn a lot about friendship I can teach you, it’s sort of my think.”

Outside the Hospital, there was the bus station. Sunset told Twilight that that station had a programmed stop for bus #42, that also stopped on the CHS campus.

“Twilight, let’s sit on the bench, our bus is the 42.”

“Sunset, what’s a bus?”

“Twilight, what I told you on the Hospital? Shut up before you put us again in deep shit, it’s a public transport, like a train but no tracks.”

“Oh, sorry and thanks…”

The 42 bus arrived, both stood up, got inside, Sunset then pressed on a pad with her thumb. “There, doing this it scans your fingerprint, knows who are you and charges your trip.”

Twilight then Sheepishly mimics Sunset action, when the machine bleeps Sunset turns around and before she shouts at Twilight looks at the screen. “Cool, same fingerprint as this world’s Twilight. I hope she doesn’t mind on her monthly stipend being reduced by a trip.”

Sunset then stares at Twilight “Don’t do that again, Capicce?”

“Geese, fine…”

Sunset keep on staring, “It’s geez, no geese…”

“I’m ne….” Twilight then remembered on what Sunset said to her about spilling that bean in particular…”

Sunset put on an amazed grin “Knew you could do it, I’ll give you a treat when we get to my room.”

Twilight rolled her eyes at Sunset’s condescendence and mimicked a dog “Arf!”

When Sunset seen the outline of the CHS she stood up for getting out at the next stop, she then found Twilight was up too “I was there, I know how the Canterlot High School looks.”

“He, clever girl.”

They, at the stop, get out the bus, after a walk, they arrive to the Sorority house, Twilight knew it too, on her second trip there she slept there .

“Okay Twilight, I’ll tell you that sleeping facilities are few, so I propose we bloody flip a coin.” She gets a 25 cent one from her wallet. “Heads, I get the bed tails you get the bathtub.”

Twilight quickly corrected Sunset. “The first time I slept on the couch on the low floor… I can still slept there, right?”

“Twilight, but I sleep there…”

“You don’t have a room?”

“Yes, but Lyra, my roomie, is an unbearable Featherbrain, she just stares at her hands and keeps saying ‘dude’ it’s creepy.”

“Pwease, it just would be for a couple of days, do it for me…”

“Ookay… But stop putting those eyes on me, can’t get angry with you… You’re too damn cute.”

Twilight tried to tease on Sunset “I’m cuuuteeee… Don’t forget it you like meeee.”

“Please, I tolerate you…”

“Geez, you’re such a party popper”

“See? ‘geez’, you can learn”

“I am a smart Monkey…”

Inside the house, there was Pinkie who was acting like a mix of Pinkie and a Squirrel , so the usual Pinkie Pie. “Hi Sunset, hi Alien Twilight…” Sunset then grabbed Pinkie’s collar. “How do you know? You can’t let that slide no more. “She’s obviously an Alien, he body looks Human, but isn’t made with human materials, so, no human, she’s an (looks at Twilight) Small horse?” Twilight corrects “Pony” Pinkie smiled “I knew it.”

“Pinkie, you can’t let it slide again, because if it does and the government notices her, she would be DEAD do you get it.”

A big and teary-eyed Pinkie nods slightly with her mouth plugged with Sunset’s hand “Eww Pinkie stop drooling on my hand!” Then Sunset extricated her hand from Pinkie’s maw. Liberated now, Pinkie turned towards Twilight. “ Hey Twilight, think fast, how much are one million plus one million?”

“Two million.” Said Twilight in deadpan.

Pinkie then did some additions on her fingers. “Wow you’re fast, also, nice Maud impression.”

“You know? She’s right.” Said the actual Maud Pie who came meet them.

Pinkie kept going on, “Now that there’s two of you, we have to sort you out you can be ‘Twolight’ or did you read ‘Coraline’? You can be ‘The other Twilight’…”

Twilight restrained herself while Sunset approached Pinkie. “What did I say about you spilling the beans?” Sunset then closed her right hand in a fist “…Hold your horses, just Maud heard me, we’re safe…” Sunset then relaxed and her fist opened.

“Okay, I’ll believe you…”

Sunset got herself away of Pinkie’s field of vision. Pinkie took it as a clue to continue her verbal barrage to Twilight. “Hey Twilight! You want to help me make some Cupcakes?” Then produced one from her hair and gave it to Twilight who checked it.

“This is a Cupcake, you seem to make them fine by yourself.”

Pinkie was now giggling wildly. “You’re like a car full of clowns, you keep going on impersonating my sister.” Pinkie then got serious “Eat the fucking Cupcake already!”

Twilight tentatively gave it a nibble, it’s insides were Rainbow coloured it had a tart and insolent taste. But not bad at all “mhh. Not bad at all Pinkie”

“I know…”

Twilight was licking her fingers when Rainbow Dash came to the room they were.

“Hi Pinks, Sunset, Twilight… Hey didn’t you were on Crystal prep?”

Pinkie then commented, ”No silly, she completed her studies and moved to Canterlot. Also this is Twolight, not Twilight.”

Dash then half closed her eyes and inspected Twilight “Twolight? It can slide, I suppose…”

Sunset then interrupted. “Pinkie, she can now, in fact everyone on this home can know after all they had already been exposed to Equestrian magic.”

“So they can’t know and now they can? Cut the cheese Sunset!”

Sunset blushed. “Sorry Pinkie, for the hypocrisy I suppose I got riled up, again…”

“No hard feelings, but I still want cheese, I’m hungry!”

“Okay girls, get on a circle, I’ll have to tell you a delicate topic.”

After an hour of Sunset going on, she concluded. “Did bring Twilight here to brainstorm with Twilight about what happened to my version of this world.” “Dimension.” Corrected Twilight.

“Yes, Dimension, everyone likes to be corrected.”

Rarity who was there asked, “So, Twilight darling, what’s the difference between a world and a Dimension? Aren’t they interchangeable?”

“Not even by a long shot a world is that, a world, that by definition is just a planet, a finite surface. A Dimension on the other hoof is another whole Universe with infinite life sustaining able worlds, there are infinite Dimensions were you could pass your whole life without noticing any difference, while there are Infinite Universes that are mind bogglingly different, even absurd universes were we are Sea Ponies, or live on the stars after our birth world exploded. Things absurd like the Magic on this universe.”

Twilight was cut short by the doorbell ringing. Fluttershy approached to the door looked from the peephole, and nervously turn around

“Um it’s Twilight, quick! Hide The Twilight!”

Twilight then protested “Hey I’m not a sort of time machine on the far past! There’s no need for that!”

Fluttershy kept insisting, “This world version of you is knocking at the door and we’re on the doorway chit-chatting.”

They all then pushed the protesting Twilight in the coat closet, and closed the door, minus Fluttershy who was ready to open the entry, when she got the ready signal she opened the door.

Twilight was greeted by the bad poker face Fluttershy had on.

Fluttershy asked “Umm. Hi… Twilight what bring you here? Umm, doing sciencey stuff?”

“No, but I want to try magic, do you have any?” Twilight now produced a device shaped like a PDA with a couple of rabbit ear antennas, she passed Fluttershy and came inside, the doo-hickey Twilight had emitted constant beeps, they become higher pitched the nearest she was to the coat closet “What do you girls store here?”

“Coats” replied Fluttershy.

“Sure” Twilight then opened the door and stared at herself, her contraption now emitting a constant high-pitched tone. “Nice coat… May I try it?”

Fluttershy, on the brink of crying, left the house, she got to the swing under an oak.

“I’d like to be a tree, life would be simpler then.” She kept on moping until Applejack came out.

“Hey fluttershy here you are! Come inside it’s getting mighty cold out here, we are just talking, even Twilight fixed us some coffee, not bad at all…”

Fluttershy had that meek smile of her. “Okay but I never liked coffee…” Both entered, Fluttershy heard some words. Complicate stuff.

“So with this we create an Einstein-Rosen Bridge that allows us to travel instantly astronomic distances, but in theory won’t allow us to move between Dimensions… I want to crack this nut.”

Sunset told her. “Ehm, Twilight” Pinkie interrupted “Twolight!” Sunset corrected “Yes, thanks Pinks. We before decided to call you Twolight to avoid confusion, also, when we were coming back to this dimension we sort of lost your activator thing in a black hole”

Astonished, Twolight asked Sunset “You had been on a Black hole? Did you reach the singularity separator? How you escaped this black hole?”

“Thanks to the third button of your activator you were right it came handy, we threw it before it blew on the black hole, it threw us out.”

Fluttershy told “Poor black hole… He was just hungry and alone on the stars…” Both Sunset and Twilight replied at unison “It tried to eat us.” Fluttershy then hid under the table slowly but came back to pick her mug. “Um good coffee.”

Proud, Twolight replied, “Thanks it’s my special blend of Blue Mountains and Taurine… It keeps me going on and on and on… Up to the infinite. I even got some prepared doses bagged on my pocket want some?” Uhh no thanks, said the other six, hey. Where’s Rainbow?

At the south, near Appleoosa, was Rainbow Dash surpassing a high-speed train running on foot “This coffee feels amazing!” She even did Pony up and take off to the sky breaking the sound barrier. Both the Appleoosans and the ‘Buffalo’ tribe reserve heard the sonic boom.

12. Aftershocks

11 "The Big Blank Theory"

Chapter 11, ‘Big Blank Theory’

The gang was now dissolving after their 5+2+3 (the main 5 plus sunset, the two Twilights Maud and Lyra) impromptu dinner, while Rainbow was picking on her teeth with a toothpick, tried to disguise a belch “Sorry…”

Twolight with a hand calculator was wondering, “So, one moment, how did you saw a black hole in a Einstein-Rosen bridge? Black holes per definition need both time and gravity to exist, and a wormhole has neither… The only logic answer is that you two left the wormhole for a moment at T minus 1 but then because Sunset here threw the portal device MK-1 the explosion collapsed the black hole while launching both of you back on the wormhole, but that only can work if around the black hole there was no time perspiring… Oh my Oh my, this is BIG! Do you know girls what you did? You both made the Big Bang! All of our universe was created by you!”

Pan-faced Sunset said a laconic “Whoa…also, decide, Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole”

Pinkie tried to crank her old joke “Nice Ma…” promptly being shushed by Twilight.

“She’s right,” said Maud on a whole different context. “Shut up for a while Sister.”

Twilight kept going on “It can’t be, both of us where born from this universe, we can’t create it!”

Twolight replied her pan dimensional clone, “It can according pre-determination principle, the universe created you, so in turn you can create the Universe and that ad nauseam. Also I decided to be efficient and Einstein-Rosen Bridge is such a mouthful so, wormhole it is.”

Twilight was both amazed, mighty and modest at the same time. I created the Universe… It was nothing gals…” At the end she lost all modesty.

“I threw the portal thing, I created the Universe, and you’re as much, the Universe’s Art Garfunkel.” Replied Sunset to Twilight.

“Erm… it’s a Portal Device MK1, not a “portal thing” told Twolight

Twilight, smug asked Sunset. “Ready for round two Duzbelle?”

“You’re going down Twilight!” Then Sunset, somehow, Demoned out, shortly after Twilight Pony-ed up, with both her wings and horn, she was no second to Demon-Sunset. Rainbow while grabbed some popcorn from Pinkie sat with a smug “This is going to be good…”

Twolight stood between both Sunset and Twilight, outstretched her arms “Giiirls! Cut it out already!”

Both Sunset and Twilight, seemed to consider her words, and then powered down. “We sorry”

Rainbow, now that she can kiss the duel of the century good bye, wasn’t happy “Awww don’t tell me you both defuse this with ‘friendship’ when you can solve this with a fistfight.”

“Yes we do.” replied them at unison, “Don’t know, I suppose I am not looking forward to be tasered again, also friendship is always the only valid answer…”

Twilight completed “…And I don’t want to fist fight with you again, you got a mean right foreleg punch you know?”

Then both hugged like good friends do. Maud simply commented, “Go to an Hotel both of you.”

Twilight soon completed “Em, she doesn’t hinge that way…” then put on a sad face, when Twolight put her arm on Twi’s elbow. “We have to talk…”

Blushing furiously and suddenly interested on the woodwork on the House’s floor, Twilight simply stated, “It’s this body, this accursed body that has such a rush of hormones, it’s quite unstoppable…”

“I see…” Commented Twolight.

“Yes it does, it’s the reason of why I ended up with Flash Sentry, that an the fact that he acted all familiar arro…” Sunset suddenly realized something, quickly drew her Phone and phoned Flash Sentry.

After some call tones he picked up “Hi S. How it’s doing? You weren’t the author of that ruckus on the CHS this noon?”

“We talk about that later, look, I am trying too… too… Ehh , write an assignment for class, tell me, when we started being a ‘deal’?”

“REALLY Sunset? What kind of question is supposed to be that? We knew each other since 6th Grade.”

Sunset now realized, she replaced her human version as Flash Sentry girlfriend if she was pissed about her whole ordeal, now her humour became sanguine. Who and why murdered Human Sunset?

“ Ehm, just a preliminary recap… Do not think too much of it”

“Uhh, look, Sunset, you are creeping me out you sleep this night on your Sorority and tomorrow we talk. Bye.” Then hung up.

Sunset now openly crying tried to tell Twilight:

“He, he knew me, before I was even here… Knew the human Sunset, since primary School, now he’s angry with me.”

The always-secure Sunset, now, a crying mess, wanted to be alone.

Both Twilights chased on her “Wait!”

Twolight was certainly confused, Twilight understood slightly more but not much…

Sunset composed herself “Look, according Flash Sentry, we met on 6th grade, that was before I wound up here, so Flash met the true Human Sunset, Twilight, TWILIGHT! Care to stop wolfing down quesadillas for a freaking minute?”

Twilight put the fork on the plate she decided to keep from the dinner and after politely burping on her fist “Sorry.”

Sunset kept going on “So, conclusion, Flash Sentry is actually the only Human Being who knew Human Sunset Shimmer for real. So, when occasion arrises, we must grill him discretely for any info he can have!”

The trio made their way to the entrance, even before hearing the doorbell sounding, then at unison they said “We open the door!” there was again Barbara Cooper, now wearing a Russian style hat with earflaps down, after all, it was a chilly night.

“Night, I suppose I found the right house, this is the sorority who was on those weird disturbs on the CHS? We need your help.”

Twolight who was now behind Sunset and Twilight, unholstered her electric contraption, after turning it on, it soon registered a signal of .06 TK or ‘ThaumKinetics” a term she coined back then at Crystal Prep after hearing of what happened on the CHS.

“Girls! There’s magical activity on the portal!”

Barbara heard Twolight and pointed out “If that means the Monolith is going gadzocs, then she’s correct.”

Barbara was presenting the three with her Patrol Car. “This is Betsie, a ’77 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with 4 speed manual transmission and 452. V8 big block, we’ll get there FAST!”

Twilight simply not understanding this world fully tried to introduce herself to the car. Sunset commented, “I'm sure you knew ‘irony’ back on Eq… your hometown.”

Barbara laughed loudly “Cut the cheese with me! I wasn't born yesterday, even if I don’t know the whole story I can add two and two, look, I know I saw you two (signalling both Sunset and Twilight) were spewed by the Monolith this afternoon, you Sunset looked capable to kill your friend, and so I tased you before it was too late.

Twolight then began grilling Barbara just on sheer naiveté, “So you saw a portal apparition? Did you see something unusual? They appeared cold? Their movement seemed normal?”

“Who’s this?” Asked Barbara.

“We call her Twolight, She’s mostly harmless, to avoid confusion, because her and she (then Sunset touched Twilight’s elbow) are basically the same being on two separate Dimensions, or Universes” Twolight quickly corrected her, “Parallel planes of existence” making Sunset quickly quipped at her with the same adage as before “Thanks Twolight, everybody wants to be corrected”

“Certainly.”

Barbara now was beyond puzzled. “So, there’s more than one of everybody?”

Twolight madly nodded “Yep, I calculated at least 30 planes of existence, there should be more, but the monolith seems to work according Moon phase multiples of 30 on those planes, we are all sorts of things, from fish to intelligent soda machines” Twilight said “On my plane, Equestria, I am a Pony Princess.” Barbara then grew with joy “Eeeek Ponies! That’s soo cute, I’ll like to go there at some point and pet all of them!” Twilight looking serious replied “That wouldn't happen like that, once you arrive you take the aspect of your ‘twin soul’ on that world, look at Twolight and me, Yes, even us appreciate pets and hugs when they are on our homes and with one special Somepony we trust. Out of that, you can end covered in rock or on the moon.”

Barbara partly composed herself, “So Sunset at first I came here for ask just for you, some… Thing appeared and asked insistently for you. It got some students hostage, some of them are 1st graders and told us it was going to kill one hostage each minute it passes before you meet it.

Sunset then experimented a very humane fear, looked back at the ‘Twolights’ also, the remaining of the main 5 were there. “You gals want to come to the Monolith? It could be dangerous...”

“No, I have to go alone. Can’t expect you girls to…” Pinkie stopped her, “Look Sunset, we are not letting you immolate yourself for our sake.”

Applejack said “She said first graders, mah Sistah AppleBloom could be there, if dat neher’do’gooder does anything to her, ah swear I’ll”

Sunset got her hand and compressed it with all her might “Look, it would be nothing, because we’re going there and end it before it even starts”

Barbara, then, ashamed, mused, “It arrived 10 minutes ago…”

Sunset took charge of things “Barbara, Twolights, on the car, Barbara, you get all that’s worth of those rodents under the hood, the remaining of the girls you all wait before the house.”

They boarded on the patrol car and Barbara drove quickly to the monolith.

There Sunset twisted her fanny looking at both Twolights on the back, “Twilight you saw both of us can transform, so here seems to be some sort of magic here, when we got there, both of us concentrate and teleport the girls to the monolith.”

“But I don’t know I can do that…Yep, it seems there is magic here, but can’t tap into it like on Equestria.” Said Twilight.

“Look I know it isn't easy, nothing here isn't, but I am planning to help you as much as I can…”

“Thanks Sunset, but do not know if even both of us can overpower what we can find once we arrive”

the patrol car loudly squealed to a halt.

Barbara told them, “We arrived.”

There was the monolith, now without the statue topping it, a colossal and grotesque figure was near it, at it’s feet were many student bodies, it kept it’s promise true, Sunset recognised Snails on the fallen ones, the car stopped an the four of them steeped down, the figure, looking at Sunset talked with a deep voice.

“Oh, Sunset Shimmer, comfort and joy, NO! I know I came here and KILLED you already, in fact I still remember how you wept imploring for your life…” at that time Sunset saw Flash Sentry on the pile of bodies. Sunset then interrupted the creature “Please, no, just don’t make me angry, you won’t like to see me angry tell us your name and business.”

“I don’t care about your feelings, do you wonder how felt the cow that made your Hamburger? Look I had been before in your Equestria, I was there for killing you, but you didn't were there… Eventually I took your friend’s pet lizard and it told me your location…”

Twilight then feeling worried for Spike’s sake commanded the creature “Tell me that you didn't hurt him.”

“Oh no no no no… after I killed a white punny thing that tried to defend him, your ‘pwincesses’ Celestia and Luna chased on me, I had the information I wanted, so made myself scarce.”

Twilight, now on the verge of both tears and primal rage, screamed “How you could kill Rarity? She embodied generosity, never ever planned to hurt nopony! Sunset! Kill this fucking thing!”

Before hearing any answer both Sunset and Twilight, used their magic to bring their friends there, Applejack immediately looked for her sister, she found her alive. Rainbow looked for Scootaloo, while Rarity was looking for Sweetie Belle, she found her, and she wasn't moving and in a pool of blood. The harsh scream she let go can still be heard on many multiverse planes.

The monster then focused its four eyes on Sunset while adjusting its yellow and red mane. “I am from Kaiju Dimension, I am here to eliminate my other dimensions twin souls so I can be the only one, I am Sunset Shimmer, by the way.”

They all ignored the monster, while trying to console Rarity, they were no monsters, and Rarity needed all the support they could spare.

Sunset, almost faded away, her thoughts hinged on pure wrath, she felt her back sprout wings, and a horn protruding from her skull, she looked like her former demon self, but her eyes didn't change, she was now an instrument for good and even if the horn breaking her skin felt painful, she didn't care, that wasn't a moment for caring, it was a moment where a monster falls before a monster…

“With pleasure Twilight.”

Sunset was still a mere flea for her not-a-double, but much faster, she soon demonstrated after buzzing around her monster twin, she grabbed one of the creature’s sponsons, supporting two of it’s four eyes, after twisting at it with all her might, said sponson, snapped on the weakest point. The monster, after screaming at it’s loss, moved to reciprocate by killing off more hostages, a possibility sunset soon nullified by grabbing the monster’s tail tugging at it But it grabbed her with it’s tail claw, it then gone to town with Sunset, pushing her onto the semi-demolished buildings. After some minutes of abuse, Sunset was now blood soaked.

Luckily, she had friends, as in cue Pinkie shot her party cannon, slithering the creature’s other eye cluster away. “That’s for Sweetie Belle, Rarity and the others!” At the same time, Sunset escaped the claw by ripping the creature’s tail. Now was the creature’s time to bleed while contorting.

While Snips, walked towards Snail’s body, kneel down and silently wept. “Snails…”

Now blind, the creature continued revolving wildly, worryingly near it’s hostages, Twilight decided to teleport them away, collapsing due of her being overstrained now. Before losing her consciousness she shouted “Sunset, you can go hog wild on the creature! All the hostages are safe now!”

Sunset told the now unconscious Twilight “You can consider it done, and done, also, you monster, we girls don’t slay our friends relatives” then Sunset prepared an advanced teleport that included time travel, to the worst place possible.

She, once prepared, threw her magic out of her horn. Then, also collapsed.

Before disappearing, the monster could be heard saying “But I am a boy!”

The monster appeared over a familiar black hole, a certain device with three buttons floated besides the Kaiju’s still live body, the third button was blinking a red light, when it clicked at the beginning nothing happened, then it did some sparks, the deuterium/uranium core reacted, releasing a cataclysmic fusion reaction, the kind that happened on millions of stars combined, it was beautiful. The same kind of event that can put some travellers back inside space/time continuum or jump start a whole universe.

The Kaiju died for good, now our Sunset Shimmer was the only one.

When she woke up, she found new powers growing in her, a whole new level of Universe Understanding was now evident for her, she felt she could do anything, she walked to Sweetie Belle’s body, Sunset unleashed her new power with the words “Deus Ex Machina!” then Sweetie sputtered, and opened her eyes, before she could ask Rarity was besides her hugging her “Please darling, never do this again to me!” Sunset walked towards Snails, also recovering “S-Snips!”

“Keep on being such… Nice? You two” told Sunset maternally.

Sunset then walked to Twilight, “Look Twi, I’m going to Equestria and check that it’s still as peachy as it was, also never had been a God and I have to test my limits…”

“Take care… Lucyfer…”

Sunset then loudly laughed, “Good one Twilight!”

Twolight remembered her she can’t travel, she still hadn't time to build the Portal Device MK2… “Look, Twolight I no longer need any portals, now I can see the parallel universes as they’re just overlapped, I can transverse between them by just adjusting my focus, look…” Then Sunset banished in thin air, she was now in Equestria.

13. end of first Book

12. Aftershocks

Chapter 12?

“Aftershocks”

Sunset was again in Equestria, now she was on her equine form again, but now she was an Alicorn a Celestia sized (almost) at that, She still was near the Canterlot Monolith, even when not using it as her way of travel, she didn’t even tried to move using her new wings, she knew how difficult it was for Twilight, she using her new powers, just willed to be on her destination and she in an instant was in Ponyville like focusing a lens, she pranced in the Twilight’s castle, besides the entrance were many death guards, she proceeded to resuscitate them musing “Nopony dies today” inside the castle, was the last garrison of the guard, there was Flash Sentry’s body, with his comrades, still looking like they were fighting against a terrible foe. Sunset mused.

“That Kaiju could had tried other hobby…like stamp collecting”

After bringing them back, she felt light-headed, but pranced to the round table room, over the map that presided said table there was a short, young Dragon, weeping before an Alabaster body, Rarity, she died trying to protect Spike, but pony bodies are easy to repair when you know how…

Spike was now happy hugging Rarity, she didn’t reel back, that was weird for the drake, Sunset Shimmer told him “I suppose I can give you a break after how mean I was with you back in the day…”

Rarity told Spike. “When I was at the B-side doing a recap of my life, I fully understood how you feel towards me, understood how selfish I was for negating my own feelings, life’s short, we have to make it count…” Then kissed Spike almost on the lips, “Look, not today, but when you grow, we would be a deal. I promise.”

In cue, Sunset touched Spike’s head with her horn, spike now grew like a hoof taller, also grew two wings of his own he was happy. “Now you’re 26 like Rarity.” Rarity, with her secret now on the open, (Besides her weight) Said “Hey!”

On the castle, appeared Celestia, She was happy to see that Sunset finally understood everything, even attaining goddess status, with powers rivalling the ones of Celestia, but She didn’t felt threatened at all, because she knew Sunset was now just and caring. “Sunset Shimmer, I am happy that you look both, after your human subjects and also to my little Ponies, I kneel before thy.” When she does it, Sunset corrected her, “Stand proud, Celestia, for I don’t want this power.”

Celestia noticed blood trickling from Sunset’s snout, she approached her with a napkin also, used her horn to tune with Sunset, then she gave a not nice diagnostic “My dear, you exerted yourself too much.”

Sunset looking at her forehooves, then looked up to her former mentor. “But… I am a God now can’t I do as I see fit?”

Then Celestia held her now, kind, close to her.

“Look, today you did many things not even I can’t do. You shouldn’t confuse deity with believing you’re a hot shot, that’s how little Discords are made. Overconfidence makes you vain, vanity makes you power hungry, and power hunger brings you to…”

“The Dark side?” replied Sunset smug.

“Uh? That was a reference wasn’t it Sunset?” asked a dumbstruck Celestia.

“Guilty as charged, Celestia”

“Look Sunset, what I was trying to tell you are that you need to have your power endurance on check, learn what you can and can’t do…”

“But Celestia, the fact is that I used the same spell many times before.”

“For bringing back deceased humans…”

“Yes, that that huge B-word killed them just on a thirst for power”

“B-word?”

“Means Bastard, it’s a human thing, we turn offensive words to other words that mean the same.”

“I see, but you know that a Rose wouldn’t be any less tasty if it had another name.”

“Dully noted.”

“Okay Sunset, now that we have that ‘know your limits’ thing learnt you could….” Sunset then fell on ground like a sack of rocks startling Celestia.

“Sunset Sunset! Do you hear me?”

The worried face of Celestia faded to darkness.

That day’s evening, in Ponyville general Hospital, Sunset, now bedridden laid unconscious, her room was basically a bed on a doctor’s office instead of a proper bedroom, due her getting there on just short-notice. She woke and opened her eyes, to quickly close them again after the hospital issue lamp blinded her. “Drat, bitch, cut that thing off couldn’t you?”

Celestia while shaking her head in disapproval of the words chosen by her former pupil operated the dimmer of the lamp, now shining on a more tolerable level.

“Such a potty mouth you grew Sunset…”

Now amused by her ex-mentor demeanour, Sunset partly incorporated on the bed

“W what happened to me?”

“You met the effects of over exhaustion, overworked yourself almost to death.” Pointed Celestia uneasy to having to explain that herself.

“That kind of violence you had to endure was unheard on Equestria.”

Sunset cutely said

“He he he I overdid myself am not?”

“You did…” Said a sad Celestia. “Never do that, not till you understand your body.”

Sunset almost lost it “NEVER? As in never send packing a giant monster bent on destruction just of me on every plane of reality so it can become the only one. Even if it doing as it pleases implies the multiverse destruction?”

“Just not be that grave eager,” said Celestia.

“W what in the tartarus? Grave eager? Moi?”

Then a pony came on the room, it was a white Unicorn.”

“Hi nephew… This is Sunset Shimmer… my old protégé. By the way, pardon our arguing…”

Blueblood pranced to the bedside. “Charmed, I’m prince blueblood and was wondering if you aren’t here for me aren’t you? I know I can have such an effect on mares.”

Flabbergasted, Sunset Shimmer put on her best ‘not interested’ look.

“Look kid, I know from you by Rarity, she told me you’re a real pain on the a… on the flank and I recommend you to take away your snout before it becomes a crater, I’m chatting with your aunt so get lost.”

“That was harsh, Sunset, as in ‘too harsh’…”

“Like him you mean?”

Celestia then pranced slowly besides her nephew; on the brink of the door she turns for a moment to contemplate Sunset Shimmer.

“Look, Sunset, I understand you got through a lot, never had it easy …”

Then Celestia left while Sunset Shimmer pondered on last Celestia's words.

"Oh, what's wrong with me?"

She almost began to weep, but cut herself some composure when she heard a voice"

"Sparkle? Is that you?"

Soon Twilight Sparkle came through the door.

"Drat, Sunset can't leave you alone can I?"

Sunset smiled weakly, then experimented a weird deja-vu when Twilight passed down door's brink a second time "Wait, Twi, is that a changeling?"

Second Twi replied, "Nope, it's just me, Twilight Spark... Oh right, “Twolight” Sparkle as Pinkie labeled me on her neologism."

"One moment, Twilight, did you brink Twolight over here?"

"Yep" Said both talking at unison, Really it was creepy seeing two not-twins (Even when they were the same genetically, both had a different education, besides, twolight kept her glasses and hairdo.) Hearing them talking with a same voice, was unnerving at very least.

"So... Twolight, enjoying the stay?" asked Sunset Shimmer.

"Yes, peachy... But why my clothes have to itch that much!!"

Twilight watched amused her Not-Twin and mused, "Look at us. How many of us you see with clothes?"

"Dully noted, but saw many of them with clothes..."

"Yep, but nopony wearing knickers..."

Now it was a rare moment with Sunset laughing and Twolight ashamed.

"Not taking them away!"

"Wow, it was just a suggestion..." said Twilight.

Twolight , now attacked on Sunset for the round two of her barrage.

“Well, ‘pony-twi´, wasn’t your friend the first on going commando?”

Sunset, then turn beet red, Twilight was snickering, like somepony who was out of the room.

Sunset then shout, “Who’s there?” at the door. A bodiless voice replied.

“Exactly.”

A remarkably good looking stallion wearing a bowtie, a fez, and Doctor robe got in the bedroom.

“Sunset Shimmer I presume…”

Sunset stood up on her bed and pretended to have a hoofbump, only to brohoof empty air.

“What means that? Oh yes, a pony way of salute.” Then they exchanged it.

“Sun…. oh, miss Shimmer, I’m the Doctor, I’m here to pick you from here.”

Startled, Sunset was at a loss for words, only getting worst.

“Oh yes, the debilitating Malady, tough stuff… There, take two of these” Then he gave Sunset a couple of pills. “Pardon by the way that we meet like this… Shim! Can you enter please?” At that moment an Alicorn looking like Sunset, but with an eyepatch entered the room “Hi, me.”

In the room the situation at that moment was quite SNAFU, there were two Sunsets, two Twilights and ‘the Doctor’ our bedridden Sunset was looking at her counterpart, speechless. The new Sunset, had more to say “Don’t look at me like that, did you never travelled through time? Oh, yes, you didn’t, apart what you and Twi did on that black hole. Look, the Doctor contacted through me, with his former self, so he can put this in motion. At the moment, as I remember you have godlike powers, but you’re at lost on how to use them. We suggest you to take those pills already and get your ass in gear, my Doctor has to pick me up.”

As in cue, a high pitched, intermittent scratching sound, that sounded like if someone attacked the F string of a guitar with some keys. Told sound repeated for three times before stopping with a gonglike sound.

“Well, dear me, that’s my cue to go away, take your pills, go with the Doctor, save the multiverse. Tata!”

‘Shim’ closed the room door, a minute later a wooden door became shut, then, the sound of keys scrapping sound again.

Sunset did as she was told, starting by taking her pills, she felt like she sleep 42 Hours straight “Whoa, those pills surely did the trick…”

Doctor said “Oh come on!” Sunset said a kick Farewell to both Twilights, The Equestrian Twilight said, “So, you go like this? Not even a Dear John letter?”

“My fate goes by a different route than yours Twilight.”

“That sounds like another reference; you know it’s rude…” Snapped Twilight, while Twolight was holding (badly), a snicker “Hew hew hew ‘Obi Wan.’ Good one.”

Twilight, stopped looking at ceiling in mock annoyance, and while realizing it would take time to see again her friend, told her a sincere “Farewell to you too, Duzbelle.”

Then Twilight said to the Doctor, “You’ll better bring her back in one piece”

“I’ll try that, in a piece or in a recipient… Come on Shim…”

Sunset Shimmer stood as well as she pranced down the corridors the many faces of Flabbergasted M.D.’s as she pranced like a filly her way out of the I.C. Unit, two doctors had a quick exchange “But she wasn’t supposed to be toast when Celestia did bring her?”

Outside the Hospital, there was a closed ‘Ambulance’ cart, the Doctor, approached a small stick, to the door, the Stick did a whirring sound, and the door unlatched Sunset was amazed, the Doctor not much “It’s a Sonic Screwdriver, it helps with stuff, unless it´s wood”.

“Oh, also it says that there’s one of your friends that isn’t from here, there is! He pointed to Twolight. Want to travel with us girl? “

Twolight replied “Uhh sure, but isn’t that cart too small for all of us?”

Behind the door, there was A LOT of stuff, the interior of the cart resembled a court on size, and all sorts of doohickeys hung from walls none of them with an obvious purpose.

The doctor left his “Sonic Screwdriver” on a drawer, besides the door they just used.

(Twolight, after seeing the amount of space there, just wanted to know everything about it).

“Look, I know what you’re thinking now, this is called a TARDIS, yes, it’s bigger on the inside, but that’s not the only thing this is capable to do.”

The Doctor, then, pranced to a circuit board and yanked a lever. With that the machine did again that noise of keys on a guitar string, but after twenty times, it stopped with that weird gong sound. “Come on, Shim, open the door.” Sunset Shimmer did that, but instead of Ponyville Hospital, she was in Canterlot, her Canterlot, even when she kept her pony form.

“Don’t be that hesitating; the TARDIS is giving us the common anthropomorphic shape over here, even when you still see yourself as a pony.”

Sunset after looking at the Doctor, still on his Pony form, raises an eyebrow “You still look quite equine to me…”

“The TARDIS works by hypnosis, you see me with the aspect you saw me first.”

“So, Doctor, you’re meaning you aren’t even an equine?”

“Yep, I can say that if you where supposed to look at my real shape, you would be blowing chunks instantly, even when I lack any proof of Ponies doing that.”

Sunset, with her face two tones greener than before said “No, I don’t want to do that”

Then, they closed the Door, now the TARDIS looked like one of the police boxes that were common on Canterlot “And that are Hypnosis too?”

“Oh comfort and joy! Looks like the chameleon circuit works now! Believe me Shim, that thing is more a hassle to fix it that what it’s worth for.”

“We’re here to fulfil the last deed that I gave me myself, you need to have a chat with some…one that matters to you.”

“You mean Flash?” Sunset’s eyes lit with happiness and proceed to move towards it’s brotherhood, there were still remains of the Kaiju attack, but public services were working hard on picking the debris, Flash Sentry was busy cleaning it’s car, that since the fight wasn’t just dusty, but had some blue bloodsplats, he removed one piece of alien flesh that clung from the radio antenna. “Yuk, nastyfucker…”

Sunset acted casual, when she pretends to not know him and said “Sir, you mind to take a girl home?”

Flash turned around to see a sight he wasn’t planned to see again, his sweet girlfriend, now she stood looking like she looked the last time. Flash surely looked like a flash burned picture at how white he turned then he shrieked with a voice more becoming to a filly.

“Yayyyyyyy! Sunset! Because you’re Sunset aren’t you? I did see that thing destroy you! I can’t fully.” Then Flash hugged his girlfriend, sobbing uncontrollably, for him, that was a miracle, and then he lost consciousness.

“He’s a bit histrionic, isn’t he?” Commented the Doctor

Darkness, but Flash heard some noises, at first were guttural noises, but when his head started properly processing it’s sound input, those guttural noises became words, also he began identifying voices, like Sunset, that said some nonsense about she don’t deserving his time.

Flash opened then his eyes, there she was, a sad, self-loathing Sunset Shimmer, she was consumed by her own guilt. “Hey, crazy girl… Still wanting to be with me?” Sunset just nodded, putting on a Pinkie grade smile. “Good to see you here sleepyhead” Said both, Sunset and the Doctor. Then the doctor commented something to Sunset.

Sunset, then commented to Flash the deal “Look, I’ll have to travel for some time heh, time; don’t know how much, I’m trying to suggest you to come with us.”

Flash put a sour mug. “Look dear, I can’t leave the boys of CCC here by themselves, somebody has to keep a look on them, sorry.”

“Okay then, Doctor, we go.” Replied sunset looking at the Doctor, then both of them walked to the TARDIS, Sunset let the Doctor enter first so she could leave the door ajar.

“Doctor, can I do something?”

“Oh yes, keep an eye on those dials, yell if they go over 2000.” Then the Doctor noticed something… “Tell me Shim, did you forget to close the TARDIS?”

“Uhh…”

“Forget it, the lamp of open door just shut off.”

Then on the control room, on the entrance was a Flabbergasted Flash Sentry “Dude… this is…”

“Bigger inside?” asked the Doctor, but then Flash replied, “I, was going to say smaller, I can smell quantum mechanics. Right Sunset?”

“Yep, he’s correct; he was the founder of the Canterlot Computer Club, so, a complete Nerd…”

“Ohh, cool, and what he thinks about…this” commented the Doctor while dramatically pulling the lever on the TARDIS to make it travel trough the multiverse…

“Better hold yourself Flash; you’re in for a threat” Commented Sunset.

2 BE CONTINUED.

And so, the odyssey of Sunset Shimmer across the multiverse began.

2. "Joyride"

Episode 1 The phantom Shimmer

Canterlot high School bedrooms, night, the long ago reformed Sunset Shimmer has a bad night on her bed (actually a mere bunk),

She’s was actively shaking on her sleep, thanks to a recursive dream, a dream where she's looking at herself badly bruised and with her pretty hair matted with coagulated blood, bloodshot eyes suddenly look at her, her lips trembling whispering out the words "Avenge me".

Suddenly, Sunset woke up on the middle of the night at the sound of Maud closing loudly the fridge after one of her night raids.

"Night" drily says Pinkie's sister. Sunset replied "Maud, you startled me you know..."

Maud answers , not fully believing her "Shimmer, you can check some of my poems if you got trouble to sleep, they're about rocks."

"Thanks I'll do that, good night."

“No, you won’t, nobody does.”

Sunset leaves her bed/bunk, puts on her Nighty, walks down towards the patio, looking at the starry sky, reminiscing her arrival to this world, when her heart was full of hatred towards almost everypony, but mainly Celestia. While she was not day-dreaming, her flight of fancy was cold halted with her last dream, fresh on her mind’s eye, with the other Sunset Shimmer, now partly covered both with blood and dirt shouted again

"You let me die!"

Then the dream faded as kick as it came.

A more worried now Sunset Shimmer sat on a bench and just stargazed for the remaining of the night. She wept lightly all that night.
