"Do you remember how you talked about how Equestria went to war, and then everypony died?" "Yeppers!" "Could you tell me a story about it then." "Okay, well, you see there was a country United States of Equestria." "Okay, I can dig that! What their story?" "Well, instead of Princesses they elected Presidents and they kind of started first doing it. Like, Princesses became less cool, and well more power to a common pony." "Aha, and? And they got rid of gold standard for bits and then started to use paper money. A stuff like that, but it's not important right now. "I remember how you talked about it before, they elected a business pony, right, something about building a big beautiful wall, and they will make Changelings pay for it." "Correctamundo! Only this time there is a conflict with North Cowrea! North Corea started to build nukes, and uh...." "Let me guess, he is going to build a big beautiful vault and make North Cowrea pay for it!" "It's not that funny Dashie because that kind of did really happen, well probably, our reality is in the farthest armpit of the multiverse. For example, right now we are spoofing both Stargate and Stargate Atlantis, and the opportunity is just too great to ignore." "Hey, both of you, I am glad that you had been spending time with each other, but for the love of Faust, I am trying to concentrate here." Twilight had been a bit frustrated at the duo. "Sorry Twilight!" ''Sorry Twilight!" Echoed to the first Sorry Twilight!. "Oh, please do continue to ignore us. We are basically backgrounded characters." Right in front of them had been sitting three mares, Rarity Applejack, and Fluttershy. All three of them had a bone to pick. Pinkie Pie leaned in, "I am not saying that all of us have flaws, but there are definitely some, if and only if, we do focus on it. For example, Spike really becomes completely out of character while under pressure. His OOC behaviour is kind of in character since the gods keep insisting on it. Rarity, you can be sometimes really, uh what's the word I am looking for?" "Come on, dear, you can say it." "You are... you can be quite shallow! *Gasp!* I am sorry Rarity I didn't mean to offend you!" "That's quite an alright darling, we know that is kind of true, I mean everypony can see it." "Um Rarity, whats the deal with other ponies not recognizing you without your mane. If anything it's them who are guilty of being shallow. " Rainbow Dash pitched in, "And Pinkie what the hey is this beeping." "Oh it's nothing, it's probably another leak alert. Probably false alarm." "Pinkie just please relax, just breathe in, and breathe out. There is no leak this week, at least I don't think so." Thanks, Twilight that's helped a lot." Anyway, where we are? Uh right, Fluttershy, would it kill you if you just didn't push yourself into exhaustion, and then ended up with a terminal illness." "Uh, Pinkie?" I do kind of get it covered. I didn't actually care about my own health care, simply because my body is disposable, and I can simply grow a new one, no thanks to the recessive genes, there is a pair of them, I think." "Anything else you want to add sugar cube?" Applejack had been silent and observing what others going to do. "This! Why are you still keep saying that!" "What? You mean sugar cube, well this is kind of like my own catchphrase." "Is this it, is this everything you wanted to complain about? Can we just moved on to the show." Twilight had been wishing that they would just get it over it already. "Now that you mention it why Attack on Titan so grossly overhyped, I watched season one, it was just I don't know a complete trash." "I am glad that you did Rainbow, but can we just moved on!" "Shh! It's okay Twilight we can always give you an unnecessary romantic interest!" "What romantic interest, Pinkie?" Don't you think I can see that Rainbow has feelings for me and I am already taken? I don't need this to turn this into a quartet." They continued to argue that's way until the scene faded to black, and Discord came to the now dark and empty room. "Well, what are you still doing on my private property? Oh, you are looking for ponies, they already moved on." "Twilight, are you okay?" Rarity voiced her concern. "Yes, I kind of spaced out it's like all of us shared a fever dream just now! I am okay!" "Well okay then come on dear, let us just join those wonderful scientists over here, who had been working to solve." So they did. when they arrived Twilight addressed the head scientist, "so like pretend like I don't know anything about quantum physics and explain it to us with happy simple words." "Well, okay then, as you aware this is transportation mirror its transports ponies into some sort of different reality." "You are not sure?" "Well at first we thought it was like a stargate or something, like a ring-shaped device which works on the same principle but then some of us theorized it might have been a portal into another dimension." "You consulted with Pinkie Pie, didn't you? She is an expert that came up with the idea of Quantum Mirror." "Yes! Yes, we did! So do we just activate it or something?" "Um, yeah sure go ahead, as long as we don't end up in outer space or something." Rainbow Dash had been way too casual about it. "Right well go ahead then do we have some sort of scouting device?" "Will that work Twilight, this a bit old, take care of it with kindness." Rainbow pulled a small metal device. "Is that a metal paraspite?" "A sprite-bot actually, I think it still has working sensors. Alright, I am too tired for this, call me if you need me. Also, there is no way I let you go in there alone." "Who said anything about me going there!" "Twilight, Princess Luna did! She insisted that the Diplomat Princess would make sure to figure out what happened to the missing crystal pony tribe." "Oh, so what? I am now the explorer?" "Meh! You will get used to it." Twilight heard in a reply. "Well, I suppose that could work?" Head Scientist accepted sprite-bot from Rainbow Dash. "Trust me, dude, it will work, it may be old but a trustworthy friend. Can I ask you few questions, starting with this question." "Yes, sure what question would that be, Miss Dash?" "Dude, whats your name?" "The name is Head Scientist, Miss Dash." "You are kidding me, right?" "I am afraid not, my parents didn't have much of imagination." "Eh, You wouldn't happen to employ a pony by the name of Lab Coat?" "About that, we might as well do have such a pony by that name. Miss Dash" "Okay, so this is pretty insane, there a city on the other side, And whats this? Is this a school? Kind of looks like a mixture of crystal and plastic." Currently Twilight and the others had been studying a video footage they received from a Sprite-bot, and Twilight was the most puzzled from all of this."And, what is this, an entirely different species from us! Why are they even so different from us? It's supposed to be a mirror world right, then why isn't populated by ponies like us?" "Well, maybe it's some kind of different string? Or just the gods want to mess with us." "Gods? Whats the hay are you talking about it Pinkie?" Twilight had been perplexed by Pinkie Pie. "You know, Gods! The writers of Hasbro!" "Eh, I still don't know what you are talking about?" "Nevermind, just forget it! I thought you knew considering the library that you have in your head!" "Okay, let's wrap it up people, I think we are done here for today!" "Okay! Anypony wants to go for a glass of cider? I do have a few stashed in my trank. Um, It's going to be just us girls, and um boys are also invited, I guess!" "Are you sure about this Rainbow! I mean I don't want you to get drunk or something." "That's fine Jackie, I don't really mind! So are we going to do this?" "you mean getting drunk until we pass out? Eh, why not? I am in." "That's the spirit, Rarity!"
