So, she would have killed herself if twi said no?

That's what it seems like, but it honestly feels out of character for her.

5666300 It's just supposed to be a joke and for her to let off steam. Kind of like screaming into the air, but a bit more drastic.

er..... the comedy?

anyway, the great appeal of this concept is, unlike the time loops, theres consequences that follow the characters.

and, going from that ending, you made twilight sparkle a murderer.

I'm ok with this, but i hope you don't try to shoehorn everypony else back into a cannon state of mind.

nah bros. if twilight said no, celestia would vent her sexual frustrations on the corpse.

I think Celestia is just a bit of a freak. Keeping Twilights original corpse about as a maid. Molestia lives.

This could get dangerous. What if some Unicorn, say Rarity made a clone of herself and then found a way to put it in stasis. And when she dies the clone wakes up from stasis as a new younger Rarity? The natural balance of the Universe will be broken!

5668451 Well, write it. This is an open collaberation, isn't it?

And the second black comedy burst of the series, with Twilight murdering Rainbow for... well, for dying, kinda. Guess I should get used to it, then. And at least she knew that Dash would come back.

Also, Celestia creeps me out just a little bit and this didn't answer any of the questions raised by the previous fic.

Your decision as to why she needed a clone

No it isn't...It specifically states why she needed a clone in the prequel!

“Out of curiosity, do still plan to tell her your feelings?”

Celestia glanced at Discord and sighed. “Now… now would not be the right time. I’ve lost my nerve.”

“Well, perhaps I can be of assistance in helping you prepare for that day?”

She raised an eyebrow. “How would you do that?”

Discord chuckled for a moment. “A simple necromancer’s spell could bring the corpse back to life with her personality, an illusion so only you and I see her for as she is, and no pony ever needs to worry about this body again.”

Celestia rolled her eyes. “Discord, that is about the most nonsensical thing-”

“Just imagine, a Twilight who will do anything for her master.”

A red tinge quickly appeared on her face. After a few moments of silence, she stood. “I’ll be taking this back to Canterlot for… research purposes. Understood?”

I'm pretty sure I've heard people say things along the line of "If you get yourself killed, I'm going to kill you. That is now doable.

I think the point was that Celestia had a clone backup ready, in case Twi killed her or something.

Creating sapient beings as “mandatory donors” is problematic. Also, bodies wear out but the MirrorPool copies them, elderly ponies will discover that they escaped a body that died from old age to awaken in a body dying from old age.

In the story “Down and out in the Magic Kingdom” by Cory Doctorow (free to read licensed CC-By-SA) human grow clones to puberty without consciousness (not only not sapient but not even sentient) and backup their memories every now than them. If anything happens to their current bodies, their memories are baked into clones. They are young and healthy again. Those clones can be cybernetically and genetically enhanced and some people just upload themselves to computers permanently.

Will this ever get a third installment?

9098826 Nope. It's a long dead story that I long ago lost interest in. Sorry.

It's fine.
I figured it was dead, but I didn't want to stop tracking it without knowing for sure.

Also, since it IS dead, you should update the status to "Cancelled".
