Summer Break -

'Dipper Pines here on the first day of summer. Me and my sister Mabel have been sent to stay with our great uncle who lives way north in Gravity Falls, Oregon. Our parents thought it be a good idea to send us out of Piedmont, California which thanks to what people have called the Merge is also part of Republic City. Home to millions from the 4 nations who each can bend one of the four elements with only Korra the avatar being able to use all four at once, along with spirit energy. They're also some of the few people from a magical like world who can still use their powers. But it’s not actual magic but spiritual energy, like how some people from worlds where fighters can throw energy attacks by using their ki or chi.' 

'Our world has really changed since the Merge, with many worlds being fused together or bits and pieces of others. There are many worlds where magic use to be real, but in this new world there isn't any magic left. According to Star Butterfly of Echo Creek, she had destroyed the magic that allowed magic to exist in her dimension that also linked to other dimensions. Which the best guess is that when the merge happen it also got rid of the other magics of the other worlds also pulled together. The kind that is used to cast spells with, seeing how there are two kinds of magic. Spell magic which was destroyed and passive magic that is just there. Like how the ponyheads can be how they are and live on magic clouds with all the buildings and things that don't just fall through like with normal clouds.' 

'It changed things for all the magic users who found themselves in this world. Like in Japan there's Sailormoon and her fellow guardians who now without magic have become idols there. Which other magical girls also have done. Some of them miss their magic like those wizards and witches in England, which without magic have fallen on hard times as they depend on magic so much and were so isolated, they had no idea how to live without magic. While others like that Ranma guy, who use to change into a girl with water is no longer cursed.'  

'Speaking of Japan there is that alien princess Lum or something that made news when they showed up on the day of the merge. They were going to invade by giving us a chance to win a game of tag to stop it. But it seems that Earth wasn't the only planet effected as there are new planets and aliens out there in the universe, so the aliens left to deal with all the new things out there.'

'The merge also revealed aliens who have been living on some of the other Earths. Like that Zim guy a little green alien who just wore a wig, contacts, which no one on his world could see through, even with him having no nose. The only person who saw through it was my online friend Dib, which no matter what happen like the time a big alien went and crash into his classroom in front of everyone. That no one cared about and quickly forgot about that and just laugh at Dib when a bird poop on his shoulder.' 

'Now with magical creatures and other non-humans walking around, Dib is no longer seen as crazy. He even made friends with a boy name Lincoln and another 2 kids Clyde and Ronnie. They made a web series of them going around and learning about the new creatures and non-humans. Which is a big hit and how I became friends with them, as they share my love for the supernatural. Even if there isn't any magic anymore.'

'People just got use to all the non-humans and creatures instead of the whole we go to war and all that which was the main reason why in some worlds they hide with magic. And having been proven wrong many of the younger generation who had wanted to reveal themselves but were stop by those above them. Have broken away from their old culture and stop listening to their elders. Like the American dragon of New York, who can still change from human to dragon. He has been very publicly denouncing the old ways of hiding from humans and that because of the elders of the magical world having the mindset that humans will always seek to kill them because they're different, and that there is no way the younger generation would think differently. Having been proven so wrong has help with Star Butterfly and a Juniper Lee in helping people to adjust to their new world. They started clubs where kids of both human and non-humans can meet up and become friends, as we're the ones who will change things and not the older generation. There is even a young wizard name Potter or something with the muggle born wizards and witches helping the younger generation to become friends.' 

'I did some research on Gravity Falls and it was just a small sleepy town in the middle of the forest. Our uncle Stan turns his home into a tourist trap the Mystery Shack which played on all the many supernatural occurrences there. Of course, now that the merge happens, our uncle still runs the trap but mostly with all the weird things that still found there. Like the Maw a huge ship resort that appeared that was an actual a prison for children who are fed to the guests. It was cleaned up and now is serving as a home for many non-humans and humans who moved in.' 

'There is also Equestia county home to both talking ponies and colorful humans. The ponies come in 3 types normal or Earth, pegasus and unicorns, with 3 royal ponies who are all 3. They used to be able to use magic, that allowed them to do many things but without it they have become limited in being able to do what they use to do. There are also other races that came with them and have spread out since the merge. They're still ruled by their princesses but the news of the white one abandoning her daughter has caused her to abandon her throne and now her sister and niece are ruling the ponies. As for the daughter, Sun something she's helping her aunt and cousin in modernizing everything. She turned the entire county into a resort and is now a big tourist hot spot, which uncle Stan is also making money from.'  

'There is also a town of Peach Creek between Gravity Falls and Equestia County. There's also Canterlot City that sits on the land above the valley. And a few miles away is the Candy Kingdom made up of candy people. And yeah, that's it for the big locations that have appeared thanks to the merge around Gravity Falls.'

'There is a summer camp that appeared in Gravity Falls next to the lake. Camp Lake Bottom which is run by a sasquatch, a zombie and a normal human woman when it appeared. It's now a camp for both human and non-human kids to spend summer together and learn to become friends. Both Dib and his gang are going to the summer camp along with a whole other bunch of kids across the country. I'll finally be able to meet in person my online friends during the summer.' 

Dipper put down his journal he has started writing ever since the merged. He's been writing his thoughts and writing down what he sees so that all the new and strange things he encounters would be recorded. He looks to his sister Mabel who is busy looking up things with her phone, which is just cat videos. A flash of memory of an older Mabel in a rundown apartment... Why does he keep having these strange flashes?

"Ready to go?" Ronnie asks as she got out of her brother's car to join the others at the bus station. They would take a bus for about 2 days before making it to their camp.

"I'm ready," Clyde said. His dads were busy making sure all the things he needs would be in his bags, which turns out that won't all be able to fit in the bus. So they're rearranging and taking out things from the bags with the bus driver having told them there is too many bags. 

"I can finally be alone and away from my family," Lincoln said who came with Dib so that he wouldn't have to spend any more time then needed with his family. 

Ever since the merge the relationship with Lincoln and his family has changed. News came out about how his family had kick him out of the house because of them thinking he's bad luck. The only reason why the Loud family wasn't broken up with the parents in jail and the kids sent to foster homes, is because of all the confusion that happen because of the merge. With so many worlds all pulled together, and no one knew what laws were still in effect and who was allowed to serve it, the police had their hands full in dealing with all the chaos and looting. Seeing how the city that became fused with Royal Woods had some very... strange laws to say the least. 

But with that said the Loud family became a broken one once news came out of them kicking out Lincoln. The parents lost their jobs and their old friends stop being their friends, with them having to get new jobs in the city that... was just a dump compared to Royal Woods. The people from the Royal have been constantly befuddled by the sheer insane amounts of apathy and stupidly shown by just about everyone in the city. To the point where they name their city, The City, even their schools are spelled Skool to show how dumb most of the people are. Needless to say the people of Royal Woods avoided going over to the City side of their new city, which is half The City and half Royal Woods, the new city is now called Royalwoods City. With how different and insane most people are in the City part few Royalwoods venture into that crapsack part of the city. Which both parents now had to work in to put money on the table, it’s also the main reason why they weren't put into jail thanks to their home falling into the City side, which has their own laws from the Royalwoods side. 

The girls of the Loud house also suffered as they became outcasts in their schools once it became known what they did to their brother. The girls tried to make things right, but Lincoln gave up on them ever treating him as they would if he was born as a girl. He's expected to be the good brother while all of them get to do what they want while expecting him to drop whatever he was doing to help them. The only one Lincoln still sees as a sister is Lily, who is now walking and talking. Now he spends most of his time away from his family besides Lily and hang out with his friends, especially Dib who shares his love in the supernatural. 

Lori lost all of her friends and Bobby broke up with her. The same with Leni in losing all of her friends with both older sisters losing their jobs and having to find work in the City. Luna got kick out of her band and no one would hire her, forcing her to look in the City which was just bad. Luan also lost all of her customers and the only ones who would hire her is in the City which, usually has her being pelted with waste if she's lucky and heckled. Lynn became blacklisted because of how bad of a sore loser she is with no team wanting her, even being the last being pick for PE. And no one paid or listen to anything she says pretending she wasn't even there. Lucy likewise was kick out of her circle of friends, along with everyone learning she likes reading the cute pony comic. As were the twins Lana and Lola, with the latter being blacklisted in beauty pageants. Lisa has to face being mocked by her peers for believing in something like someone is bad luck and being seen and treated as the small child that she is. In all the entire family is seen and treated as if they came from the City, who are avoided and not talk to at all. (1)

"Tell me about it," Dib said. 

Dib love how the merge brought people who weren't at all like the people around him. He quickly transferred out of his old Skool and went to the school that Lincoln goes to for a better education. Which also meant Gaz got in as well, seeing how both of them were the only students who tried and actually could understand what the better school taught. And where Dib being into the supernatural and aliens was seen as cool. Especially after he, Lincoln, Ronnie, and Clyde exposed Zim as an alien, to people who weren't from the City. Then there's their website and blog where the share what happens to them and what supernatural things and beings they discover. Their online videos are mostly about how to interact with all the new nonhumans and for said non humans learn how to not treat humans. Both sides having different customs and cultures needing to learn how to work together, with them mostly focusing on the kids around their age then adults. 

"I'm surprise your sister isn't coming," Ronnie said to Dib. 

"Please ever since she learned about online gaming, she's been posting and streaming herself playing games, which makes her money so she can buy more games and make more money. And Dad is too busy as all he cares about is all the new technology for him to study. But he and Gaz are doing better after all. He's no longer having to be the only smart guy that keeps everything running and Gaz after having sending time in juvie for her getting into that fight. She has been nicer for her anyways and dad has more time to spend time with both of us," Dib said.

“What about the clone, Clembrane?” Lincoln asked.

“Oh, he’s still taking care of the house and helping dad now and then,” Dib said. “He’s been learning how to cook different kinds of pudding.”

Clembrane is a failed clone of Professor Membrane created by Zim in the past as part of an aborted plan to swap him out with the real Membrane and have him ground Dib forever. Zim gave up on him, not because the clone obviously looks, sounds and acts absolutely nothing like the real Professor Membrane, but because the clone couldn't make pudding just the way Dib likes... even though Dib doesn't even like pudding. He’s has gotten use to the new world they’re all in, better than others for, their world.

The City part of Royalwoods City only lasted about a month before it all fell apart. In fact, all the people from Dib's world had the rude awakening of where their stupidity isn't rewarded or ignored. Most people quickly found themselves kick out of their old jobs seeing how people from other worlds weren't dumb and just let someone who is completely incompetent for the job to keep it. Many children found themselves in foster care which caused its own problems. Which is why both Dib and Lincoln avoided going into the foster care system seeing how overwhelm the workers were and how bad things were. The city part of Royalwoods is only running because of people from the Royalwoods side now in charge of things once the government of the city was disbanded. But people only worked there because of the pay or like the Loud parents because no one else would hire them. The City part is the bad side of the tracks and the people over there are morons, with only a few of them being competent enough to do low skill jobs.  

"It's still strange in how busy he is that the only time he can spend time with you and your sister is once a year in your old world," Clyde said. 

"I gotten used to it and now he has more free time," Dib said. 

"So, what's so special about Gravity Falls? You 3 been going on about it since we signed up for the camp," Ronnie ask.

"From what we been hearing unlike everywhere else in the world. Gravity Falls is the last place where magic can be found," Lincoln said.

"Unlike all the things like how Jake the dragon can still transform or Danny Phantom, both of which is passive magic for their dragon and ghost abilities. Which would be more of a meta or natural power like in the DC comics where Starfire people can naturally fly, have super strength and can fire energy blast. For those who like Juniper or any other magic user who just lost their powers when the magic went away, since it is spell casting type," Dib explains. 

"We been checking things out and from the blogs like the Abominable Bro-Man who lives there. There are still plenty people saying there is still magic in the area and we're going to prove it," Clyde said. 

"Wait if there is still magic there, why is it only there?" Ronnie asks. 

"It seems that anything magical once taken out of the valley, the magic just fades away in a couple of days to weeks. Of course, the magic isn't the spell casting type just something like a magical glowing rainbow rock that stop glowing after a couple of days," Lincoln said. 

"People think it's because of both Equestia and the Candy Kingdom being there on either side of the town,” Clyde said.

"I'm guessing that the valley acts as a recharging station and depending on how long you stay there is how much of a charge in magic you get. Still have to do a whole bunch of tests once we're there. There were all kinds of different magics from the worlds brought together. How many of them be able to use the magic, that's another story. Good thing, I brought so many magic items from around the world online for testing," Dib said. 

"Well don't expect to use any of those old magical girl transformation crap. There is no way I'm dressing up like them. Running around in those mini-skirts showing off their underwear for the world to see," Ronnie said.

"Would never dream of it," Lincoln said, which cause Ronnie glared at him before punching one of his shoulders.

"That's wonderful, glad to see how well the Sparrow Scouts are doing in making friends with non-humans," Juniper Lee said as she chats with a young green haired girl name Hilda. 

"Yes, the Frea brothers and sisters are helping in keeping the wild new creatures away from the town and farms. Me and the rest of the kids think it is neat having some friendly trolls around. The adults are still uneasy with them. They’re also talking with the trolls of my world trying to find out why they’re drawn to the city," Hilda said.

"By the way how’s Thor doing?" Juniper asks. 

"He's still touring around and showing off in those shows. I never imagine a god be like... well him," Hilda said. 

"Tell me about it. I'm surprise that he still has some of his old powers. Is he still acting like Marvel comics Thor?" Juniper asks. Thinking how Thor while losing the lion share of his powers, still has super strength and being immortal. With his hammer still being magical, with his metal gloves that lets him handle the hammer and the magical belt that makes him even stronger.

"Oh yes he's all dress like him and even trim his beard to be like what Thor has in End Game. And helping the police whenever he can," Hilda said. 

"Nice to see someone like him doing my old job," Juniper said. 

"So how are things now that you no longer have to protect the magical world?" Hilda asks.

"Great, I can finally have a normal life. My human friends and non-human friends get along and got to show everything that I have wanted to tell and do. Sure, we had problems at first and with the whole merge thing but we quickly bounce back, with us kids leading the way," Juniper said. 

"You did had super powers," Hilda said. 

"Well thanks to the merge I no longer have magic and no longer trap in the barrier, since it's gone for good," Juniper said. "I can't believe all of this time of hiding because of the magical elders feared that humans couldn't be trusted not to go to war was all for nothing."

"Same here with those wizards who now without magic are just muggles now. I used to be able to do magic but now, well the ritual magic doesn't work anymore either. Well, there is those Spell Drives but those are expensive. It’s too bad with all the separated worlds because of how things were in the past. There was so much we could had done," Hilda said. 

"Grandma took it bad when she realized that if she started when she was younger, like I'm doing with the younger kids to learn to be friends with monsters that she wasted her life," Juniper said sadly as her grandma has been depress once she realized that fact. 

"I never understood that. Even before the merge happen in my world we always knew about the magical world and just learned to live with it. And now school has some non-humans attending. In my class we have the goblin twins Gine and Gina, Max a small breed of arachne, Jak a cyclope, Sally a mermaid who uses a wheelchair on land, and Anne a dragon like Jake," Hilda explains. 

"Same here and even with non-humans in the classroom. School is still school," Juniper said. (2)

Jake stood in front of the dragon council with his grandfather being a member. Much has changed since the merge and the magical world couldn't hide anymore. With all the things happening with figuring out who is running the government and all the other stuff. Jake help at first but once things settle down, he just stop being the American dragon and just let the police handle things, seeing how they also been hiring non humans to serve as law enforcement too. He and his friends started a club where kids could make friends with non-humans. Seeing how everything the council did to hide because they genuinely believe that muggles will never be ready for them, only was true because no one ever tried to change things. Which he told them in their faces before abandoning being the American dragon. 

Jake and his friends got the young of both groups together, to ignore what the older generation thought was right and make friends with each other. Using the civil rights moment where it was the younger generation who just didn't care about the old ways and their parents who stubbornly held that the color of someone skins is all that matters, to become friends with kids their own ages, no matter if they're human or non-human. And it spread quickly across the world as the young were the ones who did the most to adapt to the new world, they're in while many of the adults held onto their ways till it was either change or be shoved out of the way. (3)

"Yeah, so what do you want?" Jake asks showing no respect towards any of the elders. He like many of the younger generation of the magical world look down at the elders who kept the worlds separated which they been proven so wrong. 

"Jake, we call you here for an important mission," Luong Lao Shi said to his grandson.

"Why not have Haley do it. She's still wants to be the American dragon. I made it clear I don't want to ever see any of you again or work for you. Not after what you all tried to do," Jake said. The dragon council had joined with other magical councils to try to restore the veil that hides the magical world from humans and erase everyone's memory of what happen. It works for only a couple of hours before the magic just faded like every other magic spell that was cast in the early days. Once it was discovered what happen it cause many to distrust the different magic councils. 

"Now kid, I know you don't want anything to do with your gramps and the others. But this is a big deal," Fu Dog said who had led Jake into the chamber. 

"Well, what is it?" Jake asks. 

"There might be a way to restore magic," Fu Dog said. 

"As if I didn't hear that before," Jake growls out. "Let me guess it's something like those wizards tried in a ritual that has them offering the blood of thousands of babies to regain their lost magic."

"Don't remind me," Fu Dog said remembering the massive backlash to hit the magic users after that. Seeing how the babies weren't all human but other races, the wizards also gathered those who still had passive magic within them. In the end the Wizard government of England was destroyed and replace seeing how badly they failed to stop it from happening and mass lynching of those who had anything to do with the mass killing. With no excuse of them being pure blood, rich or were made to do it. It did help get the two groups together but in the hate for magic. 

"No. Nothing like that. There is a place called Gravity Falls where magic is still around. We sent people and they discovered that while in the valley where Gravity Falls is located, they could use magic. Not spell casting magic but restore the magical items they brought with them back to full power. But once they left the magic items power faded,” Lao Shi said. 

"So why me?" Jake asks. 

"We don't want to make a big scene and seeing how there is a summer camp for humans and non-humans...," Fu Dog began.

"And you want me to go and check things out, seeing," Jake said. 

"Not just you. We're sending Trixie, Spud, and Rose to maintain cover of kids going to the summer camp. With the kingdom of Equestia and the Candy Kingdom being around Gravity Falls and others hearing about how there is still magic there. The council doesn't want...," Lao Shi was interrupted by Jake.

"Don't want people to flock to Gravity Falls in the hopes of getting their spell casting magic back. Like what happen in other places where that magic was reported to be still around," Jake said remembering the news reports about what happen in some of those places. In the early days there were still lingering spell magic energy in some places that had strong magic to begin with. But the spell cast by Star Butterfly to destroy magic also effected the other worlds when they merged together. And before the magic faded away, many magic users who clung to what they use to be able to do did whatever they could to have sole possession of the last bit of spell casting magic. Things turn real ugly real fast before the last bits of spell casting magic faded away. 

"Yeah, both Princess Bubblegum and Sunset wouldn't be too happy if what happen to some of the places that had magic till it just faded away. Both of them are playing the strange stuff happening to be just passive magic at work and giving any non-spell casting magic a charge in power. Which they also used to get tourist bucks. They want you to spread the word that only passive magic and some magical objects have their powers restored and not spell casting magic," Fu Dog said. 

"Well at least it be a nice place to spend summer," Jake said. He and the others have been leading the movement for the young to become friends with non-humans and the camp is a be event. Him and his friends going would be a big PR move. 

"Also, Juniper is going as well," Fu Dog adds.

"Cool, we finally be able to speak face to face," Jake said.

XJ9 or Jenny was busy as usually as she with XJ8 track down some rouge animal machines. The merge had brought with it a world that had been wipe clean of life and only brought back to life by the A.I. Gaia. Along with humans that live in a world that have been teraformed by machine like animals, in the ruins of a technology advance world. Short story Jenny with her sisters went and help save the world with a young woman name Aloy from the evil A.I. Hades from activating all the old war machines and the mountain size metal devils. 

Now in the rebuilt GAIA Prime, Ms. Wakeman Jenny's mom was able to restart GAIA and get all the cauldrons under control. Stopping the animals from attacking humans and getting all the sub A.I.s back under Gaia's control. Now she's the CEO of GAIA Prime that uses the teraforming technology to help make the world a better place. Like turning ruin fields into fertile fields and cleaning polluted waters and using the bio-fuel that the grazer animals make into the new main fuel source instead of oil. 

Jenny used the cauldrons to upgrade her sisters, giving them new bodies that are like hers. Now each of them are shattered around the country to help protect the nation. Seeing how Skyway Patrol was disbanded after the current government was formed, saw how incompetent they are in doing anything without tons of paperwork being filed to do anything. They simply refused to do anything without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and recycled. Not to mention that they used a pigeon to deliver attack forms to let Skyway Patrol to do anything. 

A new unit was form name S.C.P. Secure, Contain, Protect, which now is running all of the old Skyway Patrol bases and are actually doing the job in protecting without all the paperwork that use to have to be filed first. As for the former members of Skyway Patrol they were laid off with them being informed that they're a bunch of over-glorified legalese bureaucrats who expect people to fill out paperwork in duplicate and triplicate before taking any action whatsoever, and any heroic action done without proper paperwork is considered dangerous. When Skyway Patrol tried to fight against it, they were given a taste of their own bureaucrat ways by giving them overwhelming heaps of paperwork to be filled out in duplicate, triplicate, and other multiples beyond that, leaving them with a burden full of excessive paperwork to be authorized and notarized. All just to get the forms they need to fill out for a reversal of their disbanding of their agency. The former members are all now out of government work and looking for new jobs. And needlessly to say they’re all discovering that besides some very limited number of jobs where filing papers in duplicate and triplicate like in law and banks, they weren’t wanted. With many having to put up with their new jobs having them do things without filing the right paperwork, with them having to work to earn their paycheck. (4) 

Jenny and her sisters are now working with the SCP in keeping the US safe. Containing any dangerous creatures and arresting people, placing them in cells design to hold them. Her world already had supervillains so there were already people who know how to safely contain people with superpowers. There are other agencies that deal with strange things too, like the one that dealt with a demon family and onis who could summon ninjas. All of them are working together to handle any big treat. 

Jenny and her sisters have also been called to help with big problems around the world. Jenny and her sisters enjoy having people who like having them around. Not taking them for granted in all that they do in saving the day. And that they're not seen as easily replaceable like their mom Wakeman sees them, which is why all the sisters have been avoiding being with her. Each of them are now living in one of the cauldrons for their home base, where they can recharge their power cells, refuel, and rearm themselves. And they been getting along with GAIA who they view as their new mother figure, who still send them to deal with rogue machines that appear now and then.

"For some reason, the rogue machines have been appearing in the area around both Equestia and the Candy Kingdom," GAIA informed XJ9. 

"Is there an unaccounted cauldron near there?" XJ9 ask. 

"There isn't but the machines aren't just mine, there are those malfunctioning Robco robots showing up as well," GAIA said. 

"Maybe a vault or a group of robots like Captain Ironside's crew?" XJ9 ask. "Or maybe someone like the Mechanist?"

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking as well," GAIA said. 

"So, who's the closest?" XJ9 ask. 

"XJ6 is the closest," GAIA said. 

"Alright better inform everyone who needs to know," XJ9 said. She's happy that her sisters get to go around and save the day like her and they're much happier. But she doesn't go out as much anymore as she's stuck in her sector unless her sisters need help and even then, it's the closest sisters who comes to the aide of the one who calls for help. Then again, she is now part of a real family and not just a project that her mom made and then turns off and sticks her in the basement to replace her with a new sister.

In Canterlot Castle -

Sunset sat in her office as she looks over the latest sales reports and figures from all the assets that now belong to her, after her mother Celestia step down. Which she didn't had much choice, not after Sunset drop the bombshell that she abandons her because she wasn't what she wanted and replace her with a student who would bark and jump when told. Her own daughter who she took in to raised and then cast aside when she wasn't the tool she wanted. 

Now she rules with her aunt Luna and cousin Cadance over Equestria in this new world. Sunset prove herself as a ruler by heading the charges that were needed to be done to keep the kingdom together. As a unicorn by birth and thanks to being transformed into a human which she is now stuck as, she knows how both sides think and act. She managed to get Equestria be like a Native American land once the new government began to get everything up and running across the country again. They are self-governing on the most part but still follow the laws of the state and the federal. 

Sunset had her hands full in getting the ponies to get use to the new worlds they're in and how much of their magic is now gone. All the spell casting magic is now gone. All the unicorns lost their spell casting magic with only them able to use limited telekinesis, in them only able to lift small and light objects on their own. The pegasuses can still fly but for the other ponies they're now normal. All the ponies use to be able to pick up think with their hooves by magic, which now without it, they been forced to use their mouths and special hoof tools to pick things up now. The Earth ponies are the only ones who can still pick things up with their hooves unlike the other two tribes. No more spell casting magic, weather control, or fast-growing crops, no more cutie marks or the ability that came with it. Needless to say, the ponies as Sunset remembers them, all panic and ran around screaming. 

Once she was sitting on the throne Sunset quickly went to work to get things into order. Firing all the guards and having them replace by humans who actually do the job in protecting then doing nothing and leaving it to a group of young ponies to do it instead. The only way the old guards would be able to get their old jobs back would be retraining by human standards so that, when something happens, they actually show up. Which after the whole Changeling invasion with the only ones who did anything to stop it were the human polices while the royal guards were nowhere to be found and only showed up afterwards when everything was over. Gave Sunset all the excuse she needed to fired them on the spot, both Luna and the real Cadance agreed with her. Seeing how none of them were there to help during the battle, the captain was under mind control and Celestia was going with a wedding when there was a threat to the kingdom, which discredit her. 

Sunset still had to go to school but on her spare time she helps run things with Luna and Cadance. Who followed her plan in turning Equestria into a resort, once things had settle down and there was a government to run the infrastructure to keep the country running. Other countries weren't lucky and are still in chaos, with other countries who got everything in order helping where they can. 

As for the human counterparts of the ponies, the local government is still around helping to run the new Equestria. Sunset plan to turn Equestria into a resort town went well, the money was coming in from people who wanted time away from the chaos back home. They also made money from the crops, the gem mines with the growing gem crystals and gold mines where the bits came from. And the biggest draw of people who went crazy over cute talking ponies. 

The phone on Sunset's desk rang and she answers it. She talks to the person on the other end before ending the call. She began calling another number and waited for the person to pick up. 

"Danny, I need you and Dani to look into something for me," Sunset said to her heroes for hirer.

"What is it this time?" Danny asks his boss. 

"It seems that the machines and robots that have been causing trouble are being drawn to here for some reason. Got a call from the SCP about one of the XJ sisters, 6 coming over to investigate the matter. You and Dani while on patrol are to help her whenever you can," Sunset said. 

"Right away boss," Danny said before hanging up. 

"Calling on your hired heroes again?" a voice ask her. 

"What is it Discord?" Sunset ask not bothering to look up from her paperwork. 

"Oh, you're no fun," Discord said appearing in front of her. 

"Well seeing how you lost all the reality bending magic you use to have with only your shape shifting powers left. You are not that scary compared to what the other worlds have to offer. Besides after getting to know, you, all you really needed were people who unlike the ponies who ran and scream if they couldn't control it, found you funny and wanted to be your friends," Sunset said. 

"Finally taking Celestia's lessons to heart?" Discord asks. 

"She made a better teacher then mother," Sunset said bitterly. "That's why she's a teacher with her human counterpart."

"Well, you are running things better and more open to things that are different. Like giving me a royal pardon after having served my time," Discord said. 

"The SCP have been imprisoning people like you ever since they were setup. And with your knowledge of things that are chaos in nature, it's better to have you around to help then being imprison. And you being able to shapeshift with no known limits, like Impossible Man from Marvel, makes you way too useful. Celestia just cuddled the ponies too much, they're still scared of humans because we eat meat," Sunset said. 

"Yes, you eating those porkchops at the royal party with the other meat eaters did shock many of the ponies," Discord said. 

"Well, they just have to get use to it. Besides my human family lives on a pig farm. I like pork," Sunset said before looking up at Discord. "So why you drop by? Is it about Twilight?" 

"Nope sorry still can't find a hair of her," Discord said. 

"She needs to be found. Cadance and Luna are worried sick about her, I thought she would be just Celestia's lap dog, but she did try to expose the Changelings, till the merge did it for her," Sunset said. 

"Yes, I have heard of things like that happening but never been apart of it before. Shorts out all magic when it happens no matter how powerful like freeing me. But that Star Butterfly destroying casting magic now that's something else," Discord said. 

"That's why I have you on the payroll. You know things that no one else knows," Sunset said. It was Discord who revealed that because of certain actions all taking place at the same time in the worlds that are whole when they merged, is the reason why it happens as it did. Star's dimension would had only merged with the ones closest to hers. But as Discord said because of people doing something that open a hole in time and space at that very moment, or something like Lisa Loud's radio managing to get the right wavelength to sync with the merge, the number of worlds merged got bigger, not to mention bits and pieces of others. 

"Also, there is something strange about Gravity Falls. I can enter and leave whenever I want but I'm sure that if I was at full power, I wouldn't be able to leave," Discord said. 

"Aunt Luna said the same thing when she first visits the town. What do you make of it?" Sunset asks. 

"I have no idea. I heard of places that are design to trap beings once they enter but never encounter one myself," Discord said. 

"Well, I guess I can always ask Star when she gets here. She and her family are coming to stay for the summer," Sunset said. 

"Oh, that's great, I always wanted to meet her," Discord said. 

"Well from what I was told your show is a big hit at Echo Creek," Sunset said. 

"I really should had visited the human world when I had the chance. They're so much more fun than ponies," Discord said.

"The show wouldn't be held back by the shows budget if you had," Sunset said. 

"Also, I heard that the bubblegum princess is up to something... again," Discord said. 

"She's still not use to not being in charge anymore," Sunset said. 

"Having tracking devices on all of her subjects does that. The Land of Ooo is something that I would have love to see when it was still a magical land. With all the different worlds mixing together caused a big mess, with how things work in one world no longer working at all. During our little card games Prismo told me how some worlds followed the mindset like for example a horror movie. All the dumb things like splitting up and the cops never showing up till it's all over is just how it works. Now in this merge universe all of those things like that just don't work. Like all those martial artists who thought they could still beat anything just because they punch hard, it really hit them hard when they tried that on people armed with guns who weren't from their world," Discord said. 

"Speaking of which there isn't any way for Prismo to just wish things back to how they were?" Sunset ask. 

"For the last time he cannot, not to mention all of his wishes are monkey paw type wishes. All his wishes always have a catch to them, unless it is a very bad wish to begin with like the Lich wishing for no life or it's worded just right. The only one who would be able to do it would be Glob who is extreme for me. Even with Betty being merged with Glob, that's one door that nobody should ever open. Besides with the entire universe merged with other and all those pocket universes like my home, to just rip them apart would cause more problems than solve them," Discord said. 

"So anyway, of contacting someone who can?" Sunset asks. 

"The ones who do are the beyond good or evil types that don't care enough to help. Unless it’s something that cause the universe, they're in charge of to be destroyed. And Prismo told me that his boss and the others are ok with the changes and are working together to keep things in order," Discord said. 

"Of course," Sunset sighed. "What is Bubblegum doing?"

"The usual, spying on people and keeping her people safe, undercutting you in sales in candy," Discord said. 

"Of course, she is," Sunset said having taken a dislike with Bubblegum for all of her spying and hidden plans. Reminds her too much of Celestia.

"She has also been studying all the things that happen in Gravity Falls. She's been sending Fin and Jake in to look around and take pictures of all the people living there and other things," Discord said. 

"Any ideas?" Sunset asks. 

"I'll say it's a weak spot that opens to other dimensions. While you can open portals to other worlds, it is easier to open one where it's the weakest, like breaking a wall where there's a crack already. And would explain all the things that keep on appearing around Gravity Falls. The crack won't allow anything that powerful to slip through but till it's sealed things will keep on appearing. Like a leaking dam," Discord said. 

"At least Tartarus is up and running to hold the sapient ones that are dangerous," Sunset said. 

"Celly really didn't like you handing over the prison for the deal you made with the government," Discord said. 

"It's not like there was any reason to hold onto it. All the prisoners escape when the merge happen. Which besides the magic cells the only guard was the dog with 3 heads," Sunset said. (5)

"Well, whatever they're doing there is big," Discord said having seen all the construction going on over there. 

"Building it to be a real prison and expanding it. Locking away people and things that are simply too dangerous to ever be allowed to be let loose," Sunset said. 

"Like the Changeling Queen?" Discord asks. 

"Have no idea where they lock her away. The magic of the Changelings magic thing disappeared and the only one that didn't change was her," Sunset said. 

"Well, I have a show to do," Discord said as he transforms into a bird and flew out the window.

Sunset went back to work on the plans she's working on to keep Equestria running. Not to mention the schoolwork she still needs to do. She might be a ruler of Equestria, but she is still underage and expected to have an education. And the only reason why she goes to the same school, is that it be too much of a bother to go to one of those ivy schools that are still running. Not to mention she's already dealing with stuck up nobles who think they're better than anyone else.
