Boy, you're gonna get a few people with this one, a very interesting theory. That's the great thing about how vague the MLP setting is, from a fanfic perspective.
Believe it or not this is the second story like this I read, the other one featured a magic mirror that was destroy to make Luna "real". Pretty good for such a short fic still, and interesting use of the mirror pool
Eh, for a story just over 1k words, the "twist" is still fairly obvious about half of the way in. Interesting headcanon/idea, but it's not exactly a story...
Two things, and neither one is intended to bash this one shot, because it is good:
1. Cadence wasn't the first pony to ascend to alicornhood.
2. If Luna was born from the Mirror Pool, than how come she's completely different from Celestia? I know they said it's imperative to let the copies develop their own character, but that doesn't explain why Luna looks completely different from Tia, as well as why she's shorter and has a different voice. I take it this is implying not all the Mirror Pool's abilities were covered in the episode?

I don't exactly recall the title at the moment, but I read one fic where one of the Pinkie clones managed to escape and develop a separate identity. As this happened, she slowly changed from pink to white and, IIRC, lost her Cutie Mark. Similar headcanon could explain what happened here.
The little twist at the end made the story really sweet.
Also interesting theory, I've never really thought of it like that before. 
I really enjoyed it. 
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.
That.... I don't... You.
I love you for this one.
VERY well done.

My face when
Fun idea! The story was very minimalist, but it did decently well. I'm not sure the headcannon holds up to much scrutiny here, and I'd sort of like to see it explored a bit more to fill in the holes, but this was an idea story and it did well at that.
The mares have been doubled!
I wouldn't buy the idea, but I think it was well-told. Thumbs-up!
So Celestia created a copy of herself for the purpose of trolling her?
Sorry that's where my head went with that

Was that the same fic were Twilight accidentally sent the real Pinkie back into the pool? Or am I mistaking it for another fic?
Well this was not at all what I thought it was going to be
. I was pleasantly by this though. I feel that I might be a bit short and maybe just a wee bit of lacking content but hey it was still really good 
. Approved for Twilight's Library my friend.

Nope. In the fic I'm thinking of, one of the Pinkie clones managed to escape being in the watching-paint-dry test at all, so the real Pinkie was still found out.
2781775 I have a hankering for Mirror Pool stories right now, and I believe I've read the one where the real Pinkie is sent back. If you remember the title or at least some keywords from the story I can search with...

Found the fic I was talking about! Don't know about the "real Pinkie being sent into the mirror pool" one... oh wait, I think I do know one, but it involves the Pinkie clone "going Pinkamena", if you catch my meaning...
Also, I'm surprised that there doesn't appear to be a group dedicated to mirror pool stories! I think that's something that would warrant a group, wouldn't you think?
2782284 Indeed, there should be a group. And no, the fic I read ended with the most awesome lines. Something like this.
"So.. I passed the test?"
"Yes, Pinkie, you passed. You were the only one who could keep looking at the wall."
"Thank you, Twinkle Shine!"

Are you sure that wasn't a comic? I'm pretty sure I've read that line or something like it, too, but in a comic, not a fic.
2782312 No, I'm certain it was a fic. If there is a comic of it that is totally awesome.
So Luna is a mirror pool clone of Celestia. I get that, but I thought she was alluding to Nightmare Moon being a mirror clone of Luna and becoming evil, framing real Luna so she went to the moon, Celestia was all like
then sent Nightmare to the moon where the two rejoined into one being and history only wrote down the second occurrence. 
That would explain a little more why Celestia felt guilt sending her sister to the moon. I mean yes, that itself is a good enough reason, but to send your not evil sister to the moon by mistake....
Think about that.
I have to disagree with Zephyrus Scary with the twist being predictable. Or... at least for me it wasn't.
I gotta say I never did read a "clone never going back" story, that likely helped. I definitely gonna read the story he linked though, I'm interested now.
Very cool concept and the ending is really sweet.
Loved it!

HAVE ALL OF MY THUMBS! 
That's... that's really all I can say about that. Just... jesus, that's brilliant!
Well, that's a new theory.
I approve of it!
i do wish for more details
...So they were the same mare here? Then why did they fight...?
Great fic, that's a fascinating idea, I actually had to re-read the ending to make sure I got the twist right the first time!
I wrote a review of this story; it can be found here.
¡Oh the feels!
Only 1 episode I cannot rewatch. I believe that you can guess this terrible soul-crushing episode.

Her Own Pony starts off great, but the author does not know when to end a story, or how to end it either. In less than half it final length, Strand should have got an audience with the Princesses, testified to the genocide, and the Mane 6, as well as those complicit in the genocide should have got a nice Lunar Vacation like the 1 the Mare-In-The-Moon NightMareMoon enjoyed (they could get paroled the next time Equestria needs the Elements of Harmony, as long as they promise not to commit genocide again). Still, it is a good story.
5574688 I disagree. While in this story it could be said that the main six committed murder, they still couldn't have known. They thought they were breaking a spell, getting rid of nonentities, that were simply reflections of Pinkie Pie( a pony that can just barely fit into her own universe without breaking it( imagine if the dozen pinkie pies had all broken the fourth wall at the same time. They'd end up on jay Leno in our world, and then where would any of us be) getting back to the point, however, they can't be blamed for trying to what to us would amount to deconstructing a book shelf.

The Mane 6 never even tried to determine whether the Pinkies are sentient. Indeed, they are so cavalier that they could have killed the original Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie for sneezing during the test.
6218410 what would you do with 36 pinkie pies?
6218758
I would determine whether they are sentient beings before killing them.
6219290 what do you base something like sentience on? Are they living creatures, yes. Are they their own ponies? No. Did the mane think, or know that sending the duplicates back to the mirror pool would equate to death? No.
I, if anything, would point to the wholesale genocide of the changelings to point out something worth getting mooned for. The changelings were obviously sentient, and it was stated numerous times that their goal was not conquest, but instead to gather food. Crysalis may have gone mad with power, but even at her worst, her only goal was gathering food( in a way that was not lethal.) Not only this, but afterwards not a single hoof was extended to their starving neighbors offering assistance.
6219465
The Mane 6 should have tried to determine whether the pink mares could think and feel. As for the changelings, they attacked ponies. The ponies defended themselves. It is like Godzilla attacking Tokyo:
If the Japanese do not want to have Godzilla attack Tokyo, they should not attack Pearl Harbor:
0) The Japanese attack Pearl Harbor.
1) The US declares war against the Empire of Japan.
2) The US drops nuclear weapons on Japan.
3) The nuclear radiation creates Godzilla.
4) Godzilla attacks Pearl Harbor.
If the Japanese do not want Godzilla to attack Tokyo, it should not attack Pearl Harbor.
If the changelings do not want the ponies to kill them in self-defense, they should not attack Canterlot.
I feel like this was rather badly written in the beginning (seemed more like an excuse to hurry to the main part of the plot), but you have a very interesting headcanon.
