The dread Coronavirus has emerged in Equestria. Meanwhile, Corona Sheen’s life has been rather miserable of late.

Disclaimer: This story is a comedy. Ms. Sheen’s life is not yours. Don’t take it too seriously. However, the real Coronavirus is a serious matter. Please follow the instructions of your leaders and healthcare professionals. And when in doubt, statistics don’t lie.

Pinkie Pie gets sad sometimes. It's just a fact of life, and it's one Fluttershy had to get used to when they got together. Sometimes Pinkie gets sad, and all Fluttershy can do is be there for her.

Pinkie is brash during these episodes, though, and that can cause problems. Such is the case when she's spending time alone at her "thinking spot," the mirror pool in the Everfree Forest, and an accident leads to her falling straight into it.

The magic of the pool splits her in two, and suddenly there's a new Pinkie in town. She isn't there to party, though, and her sour expression and flat mane don't seem like they're going to disappear anytime soon.

She'll just have to learn to live with it.

This story is set in the same universe as most of my other stories, and as such the setting and characters may be a little different than they appear in the show. None of my other stories are required reading for this one, but they do have context for why characters may look slightly different or live in a different town.

Going the other way, this story does have slight spoilers for other stories in the chronology, notably for my last story.

If you'd like to read the other works in this universe, you can do so here!

Lyra, a simple pony with simple dreams. Dreams involving aliens, that is. Her fascination with them even got her a job dealing with them, though no one takes it seriously. Lyra hopes to one day be able to meet one, she just needs to believe.

In comes a human, whom mysteriously gets transported to Equestria. It's up to Lyra to show the alien the ways of her people! The power of friendship, magic, and hugs await her on this strange adventure.

How bad do things have to be to resort to something as dangerous as time travel?

For Twilight, the line is an apocalypse. A world of fear and despair forged by years of failures. Years where she got nowhere. She doesn't know what caused it, or how to stop it. She doesn't even know where to look.

None of that matters anymore, though.

She's out of time.

Show and tell, over the years Cheerilee had learned to be prepared for anything that could happen during this weekly event in her classroom. However, when one of Applebloom's potion experiments goes horribly wrong, she wakes up to find herself in an unfamiliar version of her classroom, in the body of a foal she has never met.

Quickly she discovers she isn't just in the wrong body, but in the wrong time.
