this is insane. · 1:05am March 13th
So, I came up with the idea a while ago, and may be a longer while before it's complete, but since y'all were asking about the Crystal Mirror, here is a sneak peak at what's going on the otherside of the mirror:
Sunset Shimmer started grumbling on the way home. Today was a particularly bad day for her, since Flash Sentry just dumped her for being a bit mean to some stupid kid named Fluttershy. The simple fact of the matter is… Fluttershy had it coming! Sure, maybe Fluttershy was minding her own business, but that stupid girl bumped into her! She started it! To make things worse, the Fall Formal was happening in just a few months, and she was getting a little antsy about it. For one, the portal back to Equestria would be open around then, so she could take over the world, but then… what?
Maybe she should stop being evil, since usually ponies, and people that were evil usually ended up dead. Especially this one mustached guy from a place called Germany, he was pretty evil and now he’s dead.
I meant not alive, by the way, death shall not be mentioned in this family friendly story-
“What the actual fuck are you?” Sunset Shimmer asked, she had turned into a pet store at random, as it was the one place that she actually frequented despite not owning a pet. It was just a passtime after school, since she had nothing better to do. Her bits were apparently worth a lot more than they should’ve, since she could apparently live modestly for the rest of her life in this world from all the money she got from selling her bits. That didn’t matter right now, what was sitting in a tank was a platypus, but Sunset didn’t know that. To her it just looked like a stupid looking beaver with a beak.
It was pitch black, had big eyes that had nothing going on behind them, and occasionally it would open its mouth and make a noise. It stopped as soon as it realized Sunset Shimmer was staring at it. It tilted its head, made another noise, and then slowly started going cross eyed. It sat there for another good moment while Sunset looked it over.
It looked so stupid looking, so dumb, yet… Maybe Sunset could use a pet. It would give her something to do, and somebody to talk to. I mean, after all, it was a platypus, it couldn’t be that bad to take care of!
“Ah, you’re looking at the platypus today, eh?” The store clerk asked as he walked by to feed the various animals.
“That’s… a platypus?”
“Eeyup! Nobody wants him, since they say he’s pretty weird-”
Squish.
Squash.
It just blinks one eye at a time, very slowly, before it went back to being crosseyed and it made another noise.
“How much for…”
“Him? Oh, a hundred dollars; it’s a bargain given that nobody wants him, so I’ll even drop the price if that’s too much for you.”
“No, that’s perfect, actually.” Sunset shrugged. “I’ve been needing something to put my time into other than possibly taking over the world.”
“Alrighty! Let me just get the paperwork for you to sign, and some food for him, and you’ll be good to go! Would you like to hold him while you wait?”
“Sure!”
Sunset was then promptly handed the surprisingly stinky platypus. It wasn’t even a bad smell, it just smelled weird.
“You are so weird looking,” Sunset whispered. “Weirdly soft and plush, though, so I guess that’s not too bad.”
Squish.
Squash.
“I guess I can call you Stinky?”
Ha, nice. I'm interested :)
That has some Rocko’s Modern Life vibes
Hey are you going to finish your male alicorn story. I thought it would have been good for twilight to get a hard talking to about what horrible friend she has been up to this point.
5772684 that was put on hold for the time being.

Ah I was looking forward to twilight learning a lesson in how to treat others and just because someone you trust asks you to do something doesn't always mean it's a good idea
