//------------------------------// // 4: Let's go Fishing // Story: Mirrorgate MG1 // by RDDash //------------------------------// 12:34 am, dark and gloomy room inside of Interdimensional space. Two ponies had been sitting in the room. One of them had been casually playing video games on the laptop on the interdimensional internet. Another one was just chilling with her because she has nothing else to do. "Um, Rainbow? I am not even sure where to start with." "Well, why don't you tell me what is on your mind, and then we will see what's on your mind?" "Okay, Rainbow Dash I've been wondering, am I weird?" Rainbow Dash closed the laptop, "What exactly give you that idea?" "Well, do you remember that episode where I was trying to make a school report on my heroes, and well you are my hero." "Well okay, I still don't see what the issue is?" Scootaloo took a deep breath "I... I am sorry but I still can't call you mom!" "That's okay... It will happen when it happens, so um, what exactly is the issue is here?" Scootaloo nodded "Do you realize how strange all of those pictures were, some of them were taken at weird angles, and I was wondering if I was a stalker." Rainbow Dash sighed, "Okay I see what the problem is now! You think that because of your strange, ugh hobby, you are afraid that you are kind of psychopath like our new dearest friend Starlight Glimmer." "Well, kind of yeah, I mean I don't really know, I mean I..." "That's okay, it's okay, " Rainbow Dash flipped a laptop screen and then rotate it, "Scootaloo what did you see?" "Uhh, a pony of Eastern descent murdering other ponies in a high school environment," Scootaloo tried to guess, "But this is hardly a game or a simulator, it's just an unfinished environment where you get to murder other ponies just for the kicks of it. You can't even finish the game because the creator caught a world builder's disease, and instead of introducing a working prototype of Osana Najimi as early as possible he instead did all of this. I can imagine that the player would just kill everypony out of boredom just because it takes literally forever to introduce a single character." ''Good, that just means I don't need to explain it to you then?" "Uh, no! Everything is good!" The door is opened and Pinkie Pie came in, "Whatcha doing?" she asked. "You are doing Phineas and Ferb impression?" Rainbow Dash blinked, "I loved that show!" "Oh! But that..." "A hit classic TV show about two pony cousins, one from Trottingham and another from Ponyvile, and they have a pet platypus who is also a secret agent! Guess who loved that show? It was Fluttershy." Pinkie facehoofed "uh, yeah sure, they are ponies." "What brings you here Pinkie?" asked Scootaloo. "I just wanted to tell you that the main event is about to start." "Okay cool! I'll see you later, Pinkie!" "Dashie, are you still thinking about it?" "What, like someone is trying to reenact Fallout in a real-life scenario?" "Uh?..." "Look they have a private company that is trying to shoot for the Martian colony by 2020s. And I thought you know what else would complete the issue if they managed to bomb each other before 2077. Anyway, let's just go back to our main story." Meanwhile, in Twilight's bedroom, Twilight Sparkle woke up. She thought she heard the noise, and usually, there were two clone guards have been placed to make sure that nopony disturbs her sleep. If they had been slacking off for some reason, then that means that somepony had pulled them out of guard duty. Must have been Dash, or the original Pinkie. The whole question of why only made her curious, Rainbow wouldn't leave the place unguarded if she didn't think the intruder was harmless. She opened her eyes and then she saw a yellow-red Unicorn who had been looking for something. Twilight didn't want to alert her so she did it as quietly as possible, she chanted a silent charm and pulled her crown from the pocket dimension. Now the only thing that's left is... "Hey! Are you looking for this?" With that, she tossed it to the intruder. The Unicorn caught it and run outside. Twilight just went back to sleep there was no need to chase after her, the crown thin metal bent had been melted with a small amount of radioactive material also known as uranium. It wasn't enough to damage your health, most likely the user of the crow would die from some other natural causes, but the most important thing is that the crown not only has an identification microchip but also had been visible on right scanners like a heartwarming tree on a heartwarming night. Next day Twilight went straight to the clone guard, "Have you seen her?" "Yes, Major! The individual identified as Sunset Shimmer run straight through the mirror and disappeared on another side." "You know who she is?" "Of course Major! It's part of our protocol to know everypony on file, and she never been removed from the files." "Are you ready to hunt her down!" "Whatever for, Major?" "For the crimes of invading my own bed chambers and stealing my own crown." While talking Twilight and the clone guard had arrived next to the quantum mirror. A group of ponies already had been waiting for her to arrive. "Are you ready to move out?" "Yep," Rainbow gave her hooves up "We are using standard arrangement?" "Yep, one Princess, one Bogeymare, two fairies, and one sniper. You know what to do, right?" Rainbow nodded, "We are hunting down a pony in a world where we don't belong, right!" With that, she gestured two clone guards to stand right next to her. Scootaloo already had been standing close to her. "Exactly, so I would like to finish this as fast as possible. Do you think we can accomplish this?" "Sure, maybe in two-three days tops." "Well, let's move out then!" With that said the group already crossed the edge. When they exited all of them had been in entirely different bodies and have been wearing the dark green pants black T-shirt, dark green jacket, and black boots. All of them that is except for Twilight! She did have a lab coat on her for some reason and glasses. On their shoulders, Twilight could see a small badge MG1. "How?" "Preprogrammed, today Head Scientist managed to reprogram the mirror giving us the option of which clothes we would wear. This was still better than defaults." "Defaults?" "Yes most of us have duplicates on the other side. This lab coat, for example, it what does your double here wears. Since you are going to do most of the socializing, we decided to let you keep it. It will help you to blend in case some of the locals would recognize you." "And this place?" "Completely isolated from the locals if you are wondering, so no one is going to accidentally find this place. If I say any more than we are going to spend our time on telling exposition, so I'd rather not." "Okay, where should I start?" "The signal is coming out from that school over there, so uh good luck, we will always be nearby if you need us."
