Castle of Friendship, Ponyville
The Ponies (and Dragon) simply stared confusedly into the strange rotating door. The room fell into an awkward silence after what they had seen.
The one to finally break that silence, was Applejack.
“Okay, whoever made this door must have been either a genius or just plain crazy.”
Pinkie soon replied to that with a “You say it because of the part where you were dating Dashie?” Which only led to the cyan mare facehoofing.
“DO NOT… mention that again… please,” Apple Jack moaned.
“I-I…” Twilight was at a loss for words, of nearly a hundred universes nearby, some sixty had different version of themselves dating one another…
“Hah!” Rainbow soon recovered from it, “That face you made there!”
“Please darling..” Rarity looked at her friend, almost glaring, “Don’t bring that one up.”
“But what’s wrong with the 64?” She asked, only leading to a small whimper from an utterly embarrassed Fluttershy.
“Ok… that was still too weird. ” Spike had to admit, one of those genderbent ones was nice… if only because it involved him -or rather, his counterpart- with Rarity’s counterpart… not that he would say it out loud…
“THIS DOOR MUST BE DESTROYED!” Princess Luna declared, “NOPONY MUST EVER KNOW THIS!”
“Although, I must admit Sister, ” Celestia let out a chuckle, “You and Big Mac certainly made a cute couple.”
Of course, Big Mac was thankful for his red coloration, otherwise, it would be all too obvious how embarrassed he was…
Princess Luna, meanwhile, glared at her sister and said nothing on the matter. Secretly, she did agree that Big Mac and she made a cute couple… but… NO. Just.. NO. For one thing, he wasn’t royal, and another thing… she was a few thousand years older than he was… and… no. Just no.
Twilight finally snapped out of her stupor, decided to invent Brain Bleach… or a Neuralizer… Of course, Rainbow being herself, walked closer “Say… should I go in there and find you a Blitz?” She asked playfully
Twilight glared at Rainbow Dash.
“NO……….” Was all she could say without exploding all over her friend with magic fury.
Rainbow laughed hard and looked at her friend.
“Well,” She began, “I might just go in there and catch myself a…” She didn’t get to finish that phrase as her mouth was zipped short by a nearby Draconeqqus.
“Well… that was certainly quite a ride, wasn’t it?” Discord sighed as he cleared his throat, “Although I do enjoy a ridiculous story… I feel that some of those parallel universes were… a bit much.”
“ Yeah, like the one where I was evil and killed everyone! WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THAT?” Pinkie Pie shouted.
Rainbow could only nod at that, still with her mouth zipped shut. Discord laughed a bit, deciding to ignore that specific universe and floated over to Big Mac
“So… Princess Luna, Fluttershy, or Rainbow?” He asked with a smirk while Mac was as embarrassed as possible for a pony.
In a nearby corner, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor had left quite a while ago… This narrator considers that, letting you know that they were disgusted and certainly looking sick, is more than enough, all things considered.
This other narrator also thinks that perhaps we should tell you what exactly they saw… at least, a wee bit.
______
Universe #34
(redacted)
Let’s not even go there.
“I -Discord- have to agree there, Narrators…”
___
Universe # 16
Let’s be simple here… in this one, after getting drafted, wounded, sent back to a random war, wounded again and so on, Rainbow Dash and Big Mac ended up together… Oh! and she also lost every race she ever entered.
She won at failing.
______
Universe # 72
“Twilight Sparkle…” Said a tall alicorn in a dark suit, “I am your Mother!”
“NOOOOOO! That’s not true! that’s Impossible!”
“Search your feelings, you know it to be,” she was suddenly interrupted by the lavender alicorn
“Actually… I do know you’re not my mother, she’s still alive you know… ”
“Oh… Well… Join the Dark Side then, become my apprentice…” the mask was lifted to reveal some odd alternate version of Princess Luna.
Which made our Twilight Sparkle and Princess Luna decide to leave this weird universe.
Well, at least they didn’t have to watch the end of the scene… trust me you don’t want to know.

Universe # 63:
Not much to say here. The guys were girls and the girls were guys.
Actually… there’s the one next door.
_____
Universe #64 (not a pun on a rule of the internet)
“So…”
“So?”
“Oh for Solaris’ sake, Dusk Shine!” Exclaimed Elusive, “We both know that you’re into Rainbow Dash.” (RD, AJ and Fluttershy are still mares in this one… hence the numbering as 64)
“I-I’m not!” Dusk denied, almost panicked as, in the background, the rainbow-maned mare was gaping at him.
“I WILL TOTALLY CATER FOR YOUR WEDDING!” Pink Frosting declared.
Soon after Pink Frosting retired, Elusive walked off, heading towards a certain yellow and pink pegasus’ home…

Back in Karamverse
“CAN WE GO THROUGH THE DOOR AGAIN?” Pinkie Pie begged.
“NO!” Everypony save Discord and Princess Celestia said. Of course, Fluttershy whispered rather than shouted.
“Aww, but I wanna find the one where Discord and Celestia ruled together and Discord made it rain chocolate every Wednesday!” Pinkie sighed.
“I could make it rain chocolate within your bedroom every wednesday,” Discord said, not really wanting to go into that one again… not that it did not look attractive, but he really didn’t want to see himself get all mushy with Celestia of all ponies…
“Hey, Readers!” It was Pinkie, “Don’t you think you’re a little bit loco in the coco?”
Shhh, Pinkie. You aren’t supposed to know they exist.
“Oh, Ok” She said, hopping back into the zone beyond the fourth wall… Well, could be worse you know…
I know. We could see a situation where Discord totally destroyed the fourth wall and brought random characters here… now THAT would be bad. We already had that once… wait… that was someone else. Nevermind.
After finally teleporting the door to somewhere in the middle of the Badlands, followed by some pretty big explosion in the mentioned place, Celestia let out a small sigh and looked at them all.
“I believe that we all should get some tea… maybe it will help.” she told them, a bit hesitantly; they all did so.. all except for her sister.
“Celly… How is it that you don’t seem too disturbed by this?”
“Well… those weren’t OUR universes… and besides… I know who made the door and… *giggle* I can’t help but admire it.” Celestia confided.
“And… who made the door?” Luna asked, even more confused.
“Why… I did, of course!” Celestia laughed, “I was experimenting while you were gone and… well.. I accidentally made a shifting portal between universes. I had to make that rotating door to contain it.”
She nodded, a bit confused, but nodded nonetheless.

A Few Years Later, Castle of Friendship, Ponyville
“So… Princess, the results from the research are in,” Said the Earth Pony with the hourglass cutie mark and Trottingham accent,“I will say this, most of it is on the report but I did find a weird coincidence…” Twilight looked at him, intrigued.
“It seems that your group of friends, in most nearby universes, are dating amongst eachother or somepony else close to them...”
Twilight Sparkle nodded with a pokerface, gently sent him off on his way… and then allowed herself a mental breakdown.
