The other girl Twilight had been talking to had went off to go catch up with their other friends. Twilight was now exploring the hall on her own. Now it was just her, and them.
"S-Should we go talk to her?" Fluttershy stuttered, cowering behind Rarity.
The seamstress nodded. "I don't see why not." She responded, taking a step forward.
"Wait!" Applejack called, stopping her. "Remember, this Twilight and the Twilight we know are two different people! She won't know about what happened last year!"
Rarity didn't think of that. "Oh damn it. Well, anyone else have any bright ideas?"
"We could always just explain to her what's going on." Dash suggested, always being the one to take the direct approach.
"Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but you have a doppelganger from another world, maybe?" Pinkie sang, albeit the lyrics being a little out of tune.
"Like some stupid pop song would really make it that simple." Applejack replied, rolling her eyes. She was tired of Pinkie trying to solve all their problems with her songs. She let her pale orange hand fall to her hip, her eyes squinted in thought. "There really ain't no good way to go about this. Either way, it sounds batshit crazy."
Fluttershy frowned. "We can't afford to not say anything to her. If we befriend her, it would be a good idea to have her around until the real Twilight comes back."
"Who says she's coming back?" Dash asked. "She's a freaking princess for pete's sake. It's not like she can decide on a whim to come visit us. Besides, she has her own versions of us. Why would she need us ourselves?"
Fluttershy stayed quiet after that.
Applejack knocked her upside her head. "You know you can't speak so morbid around her!" She scolded.
Dash mumbled something incoherent before she finally said sorry. Fluttershy accepted, and straightened up a bit.
“Anyway, I feel like it’s important that we talk to her.” Fluttershy told them. “Besides, better we get to her before everyone else.”
The others hadn’t thought of that. Their class didn’t know that there was another Twilight. So if they saw this Twilight walking around- the poor girl would be swarmed with people she didn’t know.
“And she’s alone.” Pinkie agreed. “It would make it easier since she’s alone.”
“Fine! Let’s just, get this over with!” Dash growled, her judgement finally caving.
The girls walked over to her, and slowly she turned around and smiled at them. “Um, hi. Are you alright?” She directed towards Pinkie.
Pinkie gave her a curt nod, then poked Applejack with her elbow. The cowgirl glared at her shortly before taking on a friendly smile as she faced Twilight. “Hi, Twilight. We was wonderin’ if we could speak with you? Ya know, in private?”
Twilight blinked a few times, questioning how these girls that she’s never met knew her name. “Oh, sure. But may I ask why?” She responded, her expression changing to one that clearly showed she was beginning to become a little bit uncomfortable.
“You’ll see.” Applejack told her as she grabbed her hand, leading her into an unused exhibit hall. The others followed behind, keeping close.
Fluttershy closed the door behind them, Dash staying by her side to keep watch, just incase someone tried to come inside.
“So, what’s up?” Twilight asked, adjusting her tie.
“We don’t know how to explain this darling,” Rarity started, “But you have a doppelganger who’s from another world that came to this one to defeat someone.”
Twilight gave Rarity a blank expression, her eyes squinting in confusing. “Say what now?”
“It’s really hard to explain, sugarcube.” Applejack said, sitting on top of an old box. She realized that the room they were in seemed to be an old storage unit, with dusty boxes lining the walls, metal frames propped up against them, and old signs that looked like they had seen better days.
“I can explain it!” Pinkie chirped, waving her hands excitedly.
“Oh god, here she goes.” Dash mumbled under her breath.
Pinkie jumped up from her spot on the floor to start her story. “So we weren’t really friends at first right? And then in comes Twilight! Not you Twilight, but the other Twilight! She came in looking for her crown!” Pinkie pointed to the top of her head to emphasize her point, then continued, “She brought us all together, and we sung this awesome song!” She started doing the dance moves from their lunch song about Twilight kind of awkwardly, since it had been a year ago.
“And then she won the crown but her dog got taken! So we ran out and it turns out Sunset Shimmer had him! We battled with her and oh my gosh, we even turned into po-” Applejack clamped a hand over Pinkie’s mouth quickly.
“Okay, I think that’s enough, Pinkie!” She warned.
“But I was getting to the best part!” Pinkie whined, her voice being muffled by Applejack’s hand.
“Wait, did you just say Sunset Shimmer?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah! She goes to our school! She’s here right now too! But I don’t know where she went!” Pinkie answered her.
“I think I know her. Yeah, I definitely know her.” Twilight said, more to herself than the others.
“Wait, do you know our Sunset Shimmer or Twilight’s Sunset Shimmer?” Rainbow Dash asked, a little bit behind.
“Huh?” Twilight asked, genuinely confused.
“Let’s make this a little bit simplier.” Rarity declared, sitting down next to Twilight.
“Do you have a pet dog?” She asked.
“Yes.” Twilight answered.
“Is his name Spike?”
“Yeah bu-”
“Ah, ah.” Rarity reprimanded her, wagging a finger. “Yes or no answers only.”
Twilight only nodded, gearing herself up for the next question.
“Can he talk?”
There was a moment of silence, awkward tension filling the room as everyone awaited her answer. Somewhere in the distance a clock was ticking, and the busy buzz of the other people in the building could be heard faintly. After a few minutes, Twilight sighed.
“Yeah.”
The girls gasped, and Pinkie squealed with glee. They couldn’t believe it! They had finally found Their world’s Twilight! And she was almost exactly like the Twilight they had met! Just, except for one detail.
“Are you a pony?” Pinkie asked.
A swift wind blew outside, blowing open the windows in the room, causing their hair to blow into their faces.
“Excuse me?” Twilight asked.
Applejack and Rarity facepalmed, Fluttershy audibly groaned, and Rainbow banged her head on the wall behind her. This is exactly what they didn’t want to tell her.
“The Twilight we met was from another world.” Applejack explained. “One filled with,” she paused, biting her lip, realizing how ridiculous this was about to sound. “Ponies.”
Twilight stared at them for a long time, then started laughing loudly. She was laughing so hard that she had to grip her sides because they hurt so much. “Do you really expect me to believe this crap?” She asked, wiping tears from her eyes.
“No, but we do expect you to at least let us show you proof.” Dash growled, her fists balling up. Fluttershy put hand on her shoulder. She knew how angry she could get.
“Now listen here missy. You ain’t gotta believe a lick of what we saying, but you’re talkin’ to the element of Honesty, and Ah can tell ya this ain’t no joke.” Applejack told her, nearly grinding her teeth.
Twilight stopped laughing and gave her an apologetic look before something hit her. “The element of Honesty huh? Hmm. I thought I recognized you. You’re Applejack, right?”
Applejack nearly passed out. “Wait, how do ya know mah name?”
Twilight shrugged. “I just...do. I don’t know why, but I do.”
“W-What about me?” Fluttershy asked, stepping forward, pointing to herself.
“You’re...Fluttershy. The element of Kindness.” Twilight told her. She then pointed to Rainbow. “And you’re Rainbow Dash, the element of Loyalty. You’re Pinkie, the element of Laughter. And you’re Rarity, The element of Generosity.”
Pinkie jumped, latching on to Applejack. “Okay, things just got seriously freaky deaky.”
“But you’re our Twilight. The only Twilight who would know those things is the Twilight from the other world. And she left. We know she left. We saw her leave.” Fluttershy said in disbelief before sliding down the wall, bewildered.
“Yeah! There’s no way you’re that Twilight! You’d have to be loco in the coco to think that!” Pinkie agreed, her own faith in reality starting to fail her.
“I have no idea.” Twilight whispered. “So this Twilight, she’s a, pony?”
“Yeah, you could say that.” Dash answered.
“So there must be pony versions of you all.” Twilight concluded.
“Yer right on the money.” Applejack responded.
“Only I’m not, because I have no idea as to how I know what only she should know.” Twilight shivered. She didn’t like this feeling.
“Maybe it’s twin telepathy.” Pinkie mused.
“Twin ta what now?” Applejack barked.
“Twin telepathy.” Twilight corrected her. “It’s a phenomenon that occurs in which two siblings, usually twins, can share common thoughts and other things through brain waves. I read about it some time ago.”
“But they aren’t twins.” Rarity said, shaking her head. “They are just the same beings of the same entity from two different worlds.”
Pinkie thrashed her head around. “Dear God, this is making my freaking brain hurt!” She groaned, falling to the floor.
The door to the room opened, and in stepped Sunset, who still looked like she was in a bad mood.
“There you idiots are! What are you doing in-” She stopped mid-sentence, noticing the girl sitting in front of them.
She walked over to her and smirked. “Oh, looky looky." She taunted. "If it isn’t little Miss Twilight Sparkle. I thought I had gotten rid of you.” She snarled.
Twilight gulped, before she started to shake with fear. “S-Sunset Shimmer.”
I think the word you're looking for is morbid. Cryptic means mysteriously, purposely leaving out detail. Like the way Celestia talks.
Great story though, I've been waiting for someone to do the "Equestria Girls mane 5 meet Equestria Girls Twilight" idea. Usually it's just referenced, and not the focus.
3352356 ookay thanks! thats the word i was looking for! im gonna fix that now
I suggest you take the AU off here.
Equestria Girls has been confirmed canon.
3352466 yeah its cannon, but it still counts as an alternate world since twilight had to go through something to get to it.
Might wanna dial down the swear words a bit. And the 'oh Celestia' thing doesn't really take since she's just a principal in their world.
3352487 i think there's only one swear word and i knooow but theres gonna be someone whos gonna complain about the use of 'Oh my god'
Why would human Pinkie say "Sweet Celestia" ?
Also, is this this world's Sunset? How can she also be a jerk?
3352479 How do you mean?
Both Equestria Girls and MLP take place in the same universe.
So please, take it off.
I have to agree with the comment below me, you said at the beginning that sunset learned the joys of friendship soooo why she a jebby little jeb piece
3352571 because, well i cant reveal what i have planned but there's a very good reason for that
3352547 nope this is Pony Sunset. there's a reason why she's still mean but i cant reveal it yet
ih1.redbubble.net/image.12355812.4024/sticker,375x360.u2.png
Don't you mean "Dear God"?
Pinkie has faith in reality?! Lies!
Amount of sense this story makes: 0.0
Curious to see where this goes. Especially with Sunset Shimmer.
3352564 Weeelll, considering that this could be an alternate reality of the EqG reality, then the tag can stay ( that is, until we learn more about the EqG reality).
Is twin telepathy the legit reason that Human Twilight knows things she shouldn't know? Or is it something else and you are going to explain what it is?
Huh...I would have thought they'd arrange to "accidentally" befriend their-world-Twilight and stick around her to stave off questions until she can get settled in. Oh well, let's see where this goes.
Am definitely curious about Sunset and Twilight's connection
I had to give this an upvote solely on the quality of the picture and set-up. I try not to vote before I've read a story, but I really had too. I'll take a gander at it later.
Interesting idea. I like it.
Time to add to the illusive read later list.
3354061 Hmm... Good point.
Carry on then citizen.
3354439
I think you should have saved your vote. This story needs some rewriting. *cringe*
3355213
Well, if the author shows a willingness to rewrite and improve, my vote will remain. I know I always have room for improvement. If the story has problems but the author seeks out an editor and rewrites problems, I'll support them.
i love it and when will more chapters for this story come out
3355884
I hope so. I did start reading because the premise seemed interesting. Also, the picture drew me in too.
So E!Shimmer is still here with P!Shimmer...
There's no reason to believe that having both world's people in the same side for prolonged periods is harmful. It's not time travel after all, and each soul is their own so there shouldn't be a paradox. The Elements work due to qualification, not soul-matching, which was why they're allowed in the foreign world to begin with. Theoretically Shimmer could have activated the Elements naturally after all.
Keep going! ;)

Maybe like the reason near the end of the movie Rainbow Dash asked what a hand was even though they say things like this got out of hand all the time in the show.
Sunset VS Sunset
GO!
make a new chapter soon pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Interesting story so far! I'm sensing that Sunset Shimmer had some hand in making sure that human Twilight never went to Canterlot High.
3351626 That's a very good question, but I think we can be pretty sure, yes. In Sunset Shimmer's origin comic, she is very interested in finding out all about the mirror and what was on the other side. If she were originally human, she would know about that stuff already, unless she came through the mirror as a very young child, showing up in Canterlot as an orphan foal. Which could be pretty cool.
Tehee (Ryan Higa's Outro on YouTube)
I'm pretty sure both Pinkie and Twilight (and to a lesser extent, the other 4) are resonating with their Equestrian counterparts.That not only explains Pinkie's random outbursts during the movie, but how Fluttershy and RD knew how to fly after activating the crown's magic. It was all muscle memory.
What??? I'm confused....Maybe I'll get it when I read the next chapter. so , lolz.
