Be it ancient menace or new threat, diplomatic snafu or domestic concern, monster attack or friendship problem, Twilight Sparkle and her friends have always risen to the challenge.
That's a bit of an issue this time around, when the challenge is a marked absence of Twilight Sparkle.

So this is what that was about.
I am looking forward to the rest of this.
Also, you all know that i have to do some nagging when i find mistakes, and so here it goes:
word missing. Actually. is that supposed to mean THE WHOLE THING took place in the beginning?
Then there is not only a word missing in the 2nd Part of the sentence afther the comma.
circa or ca. not Circe the evil Witch from classical History.
"Code: Wandering Star"
Ooh! It's got a code! Wow!
...
Good opening! This was planned! She wasn't kidnapped or anything!
...
Secret Agents!
...
awww!
...
Clenched fist as hoof approximate!
...
Heh.
...
Niice!
...
‘I need a break. I’m sorry.’”
oooh.
...
At least things are sorta working out... Timber Spruce's future looks bright at least! aww! Out of all the ways for Timber x Twilight to end, this is one of the ones with the least hurt feelings? Yay?
...
Some solutions would be to pull another Twilight from another Equestria High to solve that side. Hopefully it won't come to that, and we don't know what Twilight winning would get.
...
"Cadence will encourage Twilight to date one of her more repentant classmates."
At least it's just Encourage!
...
Is it just coincidence that both Twilights have some commitments on their time, or is it parallel universe alignment or something? hmm.
...
Typo:
folowed > followed
circe > circa [?]
After straightened both > After straightening both
Nice
Sunset leaned forwards. "Say no more, Ma'am. I will ferret out their weaknesses and pit them against each other, until their spirits are so crushed that they won't even be able to enter the mathematical Olympiad."
Luna looked at her student.
Sunset noted the silence. She'd heard similar silences before and they meant she'd missed something. "But I can't do that and look for Twilight at the same time?" She tried.
The silence continued, with an amused tint. Sunset frowned. "So if I don't sabotage the math team, then I can find Twilight before the contest?" She said doubtfully.
"Ah," Luna said. "That sounds most prudent."
"Don't you think it's a little high-risk?" Sunset asked. "How good is the math team apart from Twilight?"
There was a new kind of silence, one made by someone contemplating something they probably shouldn't. "... Committing an act of sabotage would probably be wrong," Luna said. "Ergo, hiding it from my sister would take up too much time for it to be an effective strategy."

How dare you hide this in the comments!
"Hey, it only took four coats of paint to cover up the "SS + TS" on the city water tower! For me that's understated!"
This looks fun hehe
If I had a dollar for every time I've read this exact thing (though not word for word) and it inevitably leads to disaster, I'd be rich. This should be fun
.
Huh. Don't see a lot of "Timber is gay". Or maybe that's just me not looking.
Including Trixie here was a great idea.
Oh, my. This is going to end badly, isn't it? Well, chaos is funny.
Oooh, this is looking fun so far. Love the code name. A small part of me wants to believe this is some prank by Twilight, even though I know that won't be the case.
Making Timber gay in this story gave me a well-needed laugh, too, just for the sheer unexpectedness of it.
Can't wait to see where this goes.
Something tells me it's bad. Very bad.
Hearing her say horse things still makes me laugh 5 years after it was first said in Spring Breakdown!!!
That's it? She left a note and wanted her counterpart to take over?
Just because she enjoys books doesn't mean that's the only places worth checking.
Why am I not surprised.
That's good. I guess?
No!
https://m.I wonder if that's what Sci was trying to hide from Sunset?
Let's hope Sunset can find her!
Well, gee! It's almost like shoving the responsibility of ruling a nation as monarch and/or deity onto someone who has never shown even the slightest indication of wanting it, all without discussion or permission... might cause some problems. Who'da thunk it?
Nope, 0/10, out of character! Twilight would never risk missing that for something as trifling as saving a nation.

Interesting start. Looking forward to seeing how both the search and the impersonation go. And given Princess Twi's levels of preparation and Human Twi's general demeanour, I'm not certain which I'm less optimistic about.
Also, while I have seen the reveal of Timber being gay once before, this does make me realize why I like the idea so much*: because it recontextualizes his initial, creepily forward flirtation with Twi as archetypal overcompensation and cover. Not that coming on incredibly strong to (whether you know it or not) a recent trauma victim, over whom you have direct, professional authority will ever not be a horrifically bad look, but it at least feels feels a bit more forgivable if it's because of a classic bit of general (and, most likely, self-) deception and the questioning and inner turmoil that tends to both cause and result from it, rather than just him acting kind of sleazy (to me, anyway) cause he saw a cute girl and didn't think further about it.
*Beyond elegantly getting him out of the way without demonizing him in a way that usually feels childish (if, to a small, horrible part of my brain I despise, satisfying), that is.

Circe has been banished from Equestria. (She did turn Zephyr Breeze into a pig... or maybe he's always been like that.)
And yes, "hole" was intentional there, referring to the hole in the patrol routes pony Twilight created to enable her escape.
11877984
The "Twilights all the way down" plan is a matter of last resort, especially since there's the question of whether they even can access another human world, much less realign the mirror to the world to which it's currently linked.
11878022
Don't worry, it got put in the commentfic repository.
11878024
"That could have been any incredibly attractive and clever person referring to an even more attractive and clever person!"
"Some days I wonder how you got away with anything."
"Honestly, same."

Pretty much everyone saw this coming, but Twilight saw them seeing it. And hey, human Twilight has almost a week before the Math Olympiad. Plenty of time to save a nation from abject chaos.
And yeah, given how Timber seems to construct most of his personality from what he thinks a popular, sociable person is supposed to be (presumably based on media consumption,) it tracks that he'd go over the top on any romantic endeavors without analyzing how it looks or what he actually wants.
After the weekend it just might be both of the Twilights will be missing.
11878930
i gathered that much, but the grammar is still broken there :P
11878991
Is it? Where?
Rogue m on the loose. I repeat, rogue m on the loose.
11880030
Rogue m contained. Thank you for your service, citizen.
Oooh, this ought to be fun.
And deep. Princess Twilightʼs parting note makes me think the story will go really deep.
Canʼt wait to see where this goes!
Oh Twilight, I feel your pain "hugs"
Have they checked the Crystal Empire?
Can't wait to see what Celestia thinks of this
This is going to be a ride, I can tell. Onwards!
oooh, interesting premise and a very well-thought-out setup.
Sunset: To be fair, I grew up on another planet that has only just now invented the telephone.
This might have been resolved faster if yon guards had mentioned the emergency body double situation...

No, I suspect telling her that would end the monarchy as Velvet launched a coup.
The (former) Princesses, when they figure out WHY Twilight ran off, will no doubt feel a terrible sense of guilt and shame.
Reminder: Season 9 was the end result of good intentions, making the most of a bad situation, and G4's long-standing behind-the-scenes problems (ex: communication issues, ill-conceived Hasbro mandates, and the revolving door that was the writing team).
I was expecting a 4th wall break here where she complains about the scene break which would have skipped over her explanation had she given one.
Velvet would probably let Equestria burn if she thought it was best for her Daughter.
The princess might need get rest, but going "
this shit I'm out!" in the middle of the night is a rather horrible way of doing it that will earn her a lot of justified face slaps with horseshoes.
Mare could've reached for help. Arranged a vacation. Gotten some therapy. But, well, Twiggy wouldn't be Twiggy if she had that much self awareness, would she?
Curious to see what shenanigans will come next!
PS: Trixie's effort to get that illusion going is a rather nice worldbuilding touch
Firstly, SQUEE!
Secondly, I need to get these off my chest:
My OCD strikes again
My Mom's favorite comedy duo and skit
The irony is so perfect
And oh my God, I love Twilight's mom
Lemon squares make everything better 🍋
This all begs the question, though: what the hay were Celestia and Luna thinking? -_-
11890415
Pretty sure that is the fourth wall break, just more subtle about it.

Season 9 (and 8, for that matter) made some... interesting choices, and I remain impressed by how the fanfic community has managed to deal with them.
What you did there. I see it.
So much history and backstory being revealed all in order to find Twilight!
That Twilight Velvet has history with Daring Do! Nice use of the comic!
What would Velvet think about the plan to use the mirror-clone of her daughter like this? Does she not know?
Then there's questions about the human version of Twilight Velvet...
...
They're gonna blindfold Flash and have him lead them to Twilight, somehow??
...
Cool First Base!
Hope human Twilight will do okay, and this delay in finding pony Twilight won't be too bad...
Pinkie's plan can only end in chaos and confetti.
Also, Velvet scares me.
That's not what Rarity meant!
I'm just wondering what those will be used for?
Still an odd addition just to make everyone think she's an alicorn.
"Well,*
only for dire emergencies.*
Was thinking the number was Celestia's but Luna was my second guess.
Wait, so the princess is still in Equestria!?!
Then where did she go!?!
I have a bad feeling about this.
Both out of apprehension toward the plan and for other reasons she desperately told herself weren't there and totally involved Pinkie also wearing more than just that.
If this were anyone else, I'd be very concerned, but coming from Sunset that's weirdly heartwarming - seeing how comfortable she is talking about her old self without downplaying it.
11890449
Huh? No, he's on second - not even mentioned in the story.

Some interesting developments, definitely. Though I do wonder whether Velvet confirming Twi was there means they can call off the search in the human world, since it seems unlikely she could have slipped through the mirror after her disappearance was discovered. Admittedly, Velvet could have been lying to misdirect the investigation, but this still seems like information Sunset and the Girls could use.

Spring Breakdown was alluded to, so there is at least one other portal she could have used. And it leads to a deserted tropical island, at that.
