The Mane 12

by PinkiePotter42

6 + 6

Twilight almost fell down the stairs. In front of her she saw six stallions and a dragon having lunch. They were so similar to her friends that she nearly could have sworn that she was looking in a mirror.

The white one was clearly Rarity- his unicorn horn swimming is a blue haze as he lifted a napkin to his mouth. A male Rainbow Dash was creeping up behind stallion Fluttershy, and stallion Applejack - a spitting image of Big Macintosh - was chatting to a male version of Twilight. Their cutie marks matched the sixs' perfectly, and so did their personalities. There was even a girl Spike, fawning over stallion Rarity.

Her friends crowded around the door, equal looks of shock on their faces.
"Look at him! Isn't that white pony handsome?"
Rarity flicked her mane, adjusting it with her hoof. It was obvious she had made the connection.
"Don't y'all find this a bit creepy?"
Asked Applejack, shying away from the door in a manner that would be more suited to Fluttershy.
"Let's just leave this place. Right now." whispered Twilight, ushering the others down the stairs.
"Achoo!"
Just when they were about to make their getaway, Spike sneezed - creating a green fire cloud, and causing the other ponies heads to snap to them.
Twilight shuffled her feet.
"Um, hello?"
The six male ponies charged at Twilight and her friends. Male Twilight was clearly the leader, his horn blazing, as female Spike rode on his back.
"Hey boys? Remember how to deal with Changelings?"

Twilight noticed that he was fitting his companions with golden breastplates, each with a different gem in the center. A gold crown rest atop his head. She had seem something like that before... think Twilight, think.
"The Elements of Harmony?" she guessed, hooves shielding her face.
The boys skidded to a halt. Stallion Pinkie came to circle them.
"What do you know about the Elements?" said guy Rarity, striding over with an air of elegance, rivaling even our Rarity.
"What has King Nymphamos told you about them? Huh? Huh? Huh?"
Male Pinkie darted around them, much like normal Pinkie.
"Calm down, Bubble Berry. Elusive - maybe they have a point. I don't trust them entirely yet, but I'll at least tell them our names. Don't let your guard down, men."

Male Twilight assembled the boys in a line. Twilight did the same, so that each pony faced their counterpart.
"This is Bubble Berry, the pink one, Applejack, orange, Rainbow Blitz, in blue, Butterscotch, yellow, Elusive, white, Barbra, the dragon, and me, Prince Dusk Shine."
Dusk spread his wings, his air of authority flooding the room, crown twinkling. Twilight stood her ground, though she felt strange, addressing herself.
"This is Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike, respectively, and I am Princess Twilight Sparkle - but you can call me Twilight."
She spread her wings to match Dusk's.

Dusk looked her up and down apprehensively.
"How can you prove that you aren't changelings?"
Pinkie took a big breath.
"We came from this alternate universe, called Equestria, where we're ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who control the sun and moon, but they had this big fight and Luna went all evil, so we had to stop her of course, and Fluttershy helped a manticore, and Dashie fixed this old bridge, and Rarity used her tail to fix this dragon's mustache, but when we got there Luna was all like 'I'm nightmare Moon', and Twilight's eyes went all white, and our elements started glowing, and then KAPOW this massive rainbow came down and wrapped her up and she wasn't evil anymore!"
She gave Dusk a huge smile. For a moment, nothing happened, but after about 5 seconds, Bubble broke out into a smile and gave her a high five.
"Nice one, Pinks!"

Dusk shook his head and looked back at Twilight for her to continue. Twilight kicked some dust onto Rarity's flank.
"Agh! Dirt! Get it away! No no no no! More dirt! Get it off!"
Dusk turned away still not convinced. Twilight thought for a while, then decided to use her trump card.
"What if I told you about how you went through a magical portal to the human world, specifically Canterlot High, where you had to run for Prince of the Fall Formal to regain your crown after it had been stolen by a orangey pony with a red and yellow mane, and you met human versions of all of your friends, and Barbra was a dog? Oh, and you met this really cool orange filly, blue mane, that you kind of had a crush on, who asked you to dance at the formal, and turned out to be a member of the royal guard."

Dusk blushed, and Twilight knew she had hit the target. She gave a clever smile. Dusk shook his head and tried to calm his reddened cheeks.
"You have some explaining to do."

Author's Note:

The next few chapter will all take place at the same time until, when I notify you, they will all come together for the final battle... ( and the rest of the story)

Sorry about my mistakes- I will go over my copies and review them soon - maybe tommorrow. Thanks for reading!

[Burnasius]

O.o, well that one personal adventure sure made this whole adventure very awkward to a degree... though I think I would love to know R36 Flash Sentry.

[Evil-Lovieness]

Ohhhhhh Did Twilight hit hooooome!!!! xD 'Course she would only know that because she went through that so she just explained her crush on Flash to all of her friends right then and there.

[punisher143]

I'm going to tentatively put this on my 'read later' list. It's going right off if selfshipping is involved though.

Just saying.

[PurpleFreakingCupcakes]

Oh, wow! This is really good so far! I can't wait to see what happens!

[PinkiePotter42]

Don't worry - none of them are shipped with themselves! That would be creepy...
PS - Most of the ships will be shown by the chapter name - can you guess who the first ship is?

Wait wait, I am having brain activity right now.
Before I go off on a rant I would just like to warn everybody that in my up coming rant I am going to be doing a lot of generalization and stereotyping, mainly about the two genders, so please do not be offended, okay? Okay.

So if my understanding is correct, the two universes of rule 63, I'll call them universe M (Male universe) and universe F (female universe), they suppose to be the same, however, do to the fact that male and female brain chemistry and body chemistry is different, the two universes would be different. For example say... Twilight and Dusk would have different thinking processes and as such differences in thought, choice making, and problem solving. Take for example, the female maternal instance (Prepare for generalization), this instinct would cause slight (or major) difference's in neutering patterns in Twilight and Dusk, while Twilight, due to her maternal instinct, would take on more of a mother/parent role when razing Spike, Dusk on the other hand, might take the role of a mentor or teacher instead of a parent like attitude when raising female Spike. Because of this Male and Female Spike would most likely have slightly different views, morals, opinions etc.

Now for problem solving. The main difference is testosterone, disclaimer: I do not have an in-depth knowledge of hormones and biology, so if I make any errors please excuse them to a point, if I make a really big fuck up please just point it out to me polity. Due to higher levels of testosterone in males, the males are more likely too come to violence a lot sooner then the females and since the ratio between the genders is roughly 10/1 (this is my own personal belief) this would have drastic effects on society, for example. The Royal Guard in the female universe of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic is pretty much a joke, they have never been useful and are only there as red shirts do be incapacitated.There armor is made of gold, one of the weakest elements, and it seems that they have a very strict appearance slandered (I don't believe in that bullsh*t excuse about the armor being enchanted, we see Shining Armor out of uniform and he does not change appearance so it is more then likely that the other guards do not change appearance.), while the Royal Guard in the male universe would likely be more professional, wearing steel armor and being generally USEFUL. The reason for this difference is because males have higher levels of testosterone, they are more likely to indulge in violence, war, crime etc etc etc, as such the need for a proper military and police force would be much higher in the male universe while in the female universe they are likely just there for show so maybe in the male universe they wold have steel armor, better training, a more open recruitment stranded and just generally be a more effective force.

Another difference would be mindset.(Going to generalize in a moment) Generally Males have a more utilitarian mind set, which means they desire functionality over style, we'll call it AppleJack mindset (again, generalizing), while female more often then not desire style and elegance over functionality, while things may look better they probably aren't as useful or as long lasting, we'll call it Rarity mindset .

While I could probably write a book on this (now that I think about it that would be kind of awesome to post in Fimfiction.net) this rant's aim is probably to start a discussion, about what I don't know, maybe about how both genders need each other for purposes beyond making babies or simply how bat sh*t insane I am.
