It's better to see death from her funny side. On my funeral there's gonna be a clown. I would hire Pinkie Pie, but sadly she only exists inside our poor minds.

Sunset Shimmer ends up in Equestria and I don't mean the usual way through the portal, rather the way humans from fanfictions end up in Equestria. And without the portal transforming her, she's stuck as a human in Equestria.

And it gets even weirder. For some reason Sunset is unable to understand anypony and vice versa, Twilight doesn't have any wings and then there's the thing with meeting her former mentor again...

What happened? Great fic by the way.

7498376 Oh, okay. Still a great fic.

Ok, I'm on board with this. If Twilight doesn't have wings yet... but it's otherwise the same, then that means she is in the past, and it means there is a version of herself on the other side of the mirror, who isn't reformed yet...

So sunset got displaced in a past equestria where twilight has yet to become princess and (sunsets) past self hasn't been reformed, oh and she can't understand any pony....... Well I'm on board!

Interesting premise, can't wait!
:D

... Proceed.
So thanks for that.

Very intriguing. I await for more.

Heh kitty cat

Good premise, but I am so sick and tired of this "ponies speaking in an alien language that humans can't understand" cliche that so many fanfics keep using. Let me make this clear to you all: Ponies. Are. Not. Aliens. They do not speak in gibberish, extra-terrestrial languages, because they speak English in the show. Also, aliens are generally ugly, while ponies are cute.

So everyone, stop writing ponies as aliens!:flutterrage:

Other than that, good story.

7580318 Sorry, but I thought otherwise the story would be too easy. Or rather it would give me not as many opportunities for some funny misunderstanding between Sunset and the ponies. And what do you mean with "so many fanfics"? I've only seen half a dozen.

Cute and interesting so far. Not too much to comment on considering there's just two chapters, but what is here is interesting and I'd like to see where you take it.

7580318 Actually, it's more believable that a normal human wouldn't be able to understand the ponies. Just because they speak English in the show, doesn't mean that they HAVE to in a real situation. Remember, most entertainment, especially children's entertainment, will have all the characters speak a single native language to make it easier to understand, rather than make the whole thing confusing and unintelligible. And there have been many things that have shown aliens as appearing as normal humans in their own natural state, despite biological differences, or just plain beautiful. Doctor Who is one such example. He looks like a normal person, but as a Time Lord, he has two hearts. Not a visual difference, but still very notable. Additionally, the fact that we haven't encountered an intelligent, extra-terrestrial species, means we can't definitively saw that they are or aren't ugly. People who visit other countries are also called aliens, keep in mind.

Interesting idea, nice work. :twilightsmile:

7628451 Yeah except Sunset has lived in Equestria for most of her life. Even if they are speaking in Equestrian, Sunset has been doing so too. She isn't going to forget just because she wound up in Equestria 'Classic HiE Style.'

8071033 Well, we know she's been sent back in time in the story, why not to an alternate reality where ponies DO speak another language, when she does not.

She could just write in equestrian.

Aliens don't have to be ugly or weird looking, the only reason that is often the case is presumably a different evolutionary path. Which come to think of it, is an even bigger reason to have ponies speaking a different language. The shape of a pony mouth, their nose, and the length of their throat, ponies speaking a different language becomes quite expected. The fact that they speak English is due to it being fiction, teaching an audience an entirely new language isn't the goal of the show. That's why they translate it to different languages in other countries.

Another story with great potential is lost
Was really looking forward to princess celestia reaction
