I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to.

In a desperate bid to get Twilight's crown, Sunset Shimmer threatens to destroy the portal between her world and Equestria. When Twilight refuses, Sunset Shimmer snaps, and brings the hammer down.

She was probably talking about destroying the frame of the portal, which probably would have destabilized it.

This was quite funny, as I have seen this problem raised numerous times. It's good that someone dealt with it in a realistic, albeit humorous, manner.
I love the zany way you portrayed the characters here too. Not exactly show accurate, but hey, it's a comedy!

"I tried two other equally convoluted methods to assure that I got the crown, surely the third time should have been the proverbial charm?" she demanded.

"Hey, look!" Rainbow Dash shouted from the floor. "It's a real Hurricane Flutters-"
"There's room on the moon for you too, Rainbow Dash!" Celestia interrupted.

"I DID NOT GET HIT IN THE HEAD!"
Suddenly, from the base of the statue, the sledgehammer emerged like a bullet. Sunset Shimmer lost consciousness just as soon as it collided with the back of her head.

Your witty quotes will be the death of me, I swear.
All in all, an excellent short for a quick laugh to brighten up my day.
Enjoy a like and fave; you've earned it.

OUCH, poor sunset shimmer and pinkie pie

Thank you! I don't do comedy too often, so it's nice to know that it works for some folks when I do!

6546378

Pinkie Pie will be okay, I'm sure. She's probably more concerned about not having eaten!

I have never seen that picture before, but I'm glad that I'm not the only one who saw that Sunset Shimmer's "threat" was rather silly.

That was certainly..... something that.... happened
No words, take my Like

There are at least two different comics over at deviantart that explore this exact same premise. That's not criticism, mind you, I just felt like point that out. I'd also like to say that you did a good job describing Sunset's idiotic plan for taking over Equestria in a way that made me laugh. Personally, I suspect that the corrupted magic that transformed her in the first place also degraded her mind, making her dumb enough to believe that she could take over an entire country with just a few dozen untrained teenage puppet soldiers.

Funny stuff. Funny stuff.

I hate your Celestia... :twilightangry2:

I'm not fond of her either - she hates bad jokes and technicalities!

I thought the same thing when I saw the movie and was just waiting for Twilight to say, "Go ahead," when Sunset made her threat. But yeah, I also thought of what 6546340 proposed. Even then though, Sunset's a teenage girl; how much damage do you think she could manage with one swing and would it be enough? Stone is pretty tough to break, after all. Plus there's precision to account for; sledge hammers are hard to swing accurately without practice, so she very well may have thrown the hammer threw the portal on accident.
Be funny if the portal isn't part of the statue at all and even if the the rock was busted, the portal ended up just floating there.

P.S.
Twilight and her friends have no room to talk. They were all afraid that the hammer would break the portal too, so they really shouldn't be calling Sunset stupid for thinking the same thing.

And then Sunset wakes up the next day to find out that she has amnesia, it's the perfect sequel. :pinkiecrazy:

I'm just kidding, this got me laughing. Have a like, fave and follow. :twilightsmile:

Perhaps Twilight wasn't as smart as she was lead to believe.

"led"
When "lead" is pronounced "led" it specifically refers to a metal.

Heh, I liked it. Silly, short, and had a threat to send Luna to the moon. Again.

6546750 don't know about that she could have aimed at the portals frame that might have worked.

6553026

Fixed. Thank you!

I know Sunset was a jerk in the first movie, but ouch. I feel sorry for her.

*snickers*
That was pretty funny. Especially the end bit with the sledgehammer. xD

Dang it missed a "mortally wounded" speech from pinkie. Also apperiently Pinkie sense does not work across dimensions.

"If I don't make it, please tell the Cakes that the raisins are and always have been in the third shelf to the left."

What would have been even funnier is Fluttershy missing Sunset and hitting human Pinkie in the face.

Hehe. Nice.

And fun! I like how things go with the sledge hammer!

Though one of my friends pointed out Sunset's actual plan was likely to convert her brainwashed army into demons like she did to Snips and Snails and was more intending to have an army of demonic beasts marching on Equestria. But it's funnier this way.

Great work!

6546340 bingo. insteado f hitting it directly as shown here. destroy the full statue itself would have been interesting. While a bit funny I had hoped this story would go that route.

6556319

I have to wonder if they would have just turned to pony versions of themselves anyways. Or if the Element's magic would have held once they went through the portal back to where the only one the Element of Magic would respond to would have been Twilight.

Thank you for reading.

Getting a how 'How It Should Have Ended' vibe. That means this is awesome.

6557132 True.

And welcome.

And congrats on this making the 'popular stories' tab!

Getting hit in the head by a sledgehammer should have busted a skull or two. Even one as soft as Pinkies or as hard as Sunsets. In fact with the weight alone a slight throw should have scattered Sunsets brains all over the ground.

The real fun is telling Pony-Fluttershy she killed someone. Then watch the mental breakdown begin.

I'm honestly surprised it's been as well received as it has been, because this came out so far after the first Equestria Girls film.

I wrote this in two hours (literally, start to finish) and it's already quadrupled "Rise of an Alicorn's Destiny" which took a solid week to put together (and I think Alicorn's Destiny was better!)

Not that I'm complaining!

And then the damage done by the hammer ended up making Sunset good :pinkiecrazy:

I was actually kind of hoping the portal -would- get destroyed.

Funny and short, good job. Faved and liked.

No shit Sherlock. It would obviously destroy the mirror.:facehoof:

I had the same thought.
i was watching the movie with a friend and was like "wait its a portal, how can she break it?"
and my friend said something that made it kinda okay. he said "she's not gonna break the potal, she's gonna break the stone around the portal. like if you were to smash the edging of the mirror on the other side. you know, so the portal shuts down?"
and i was "oh, yeah that could work"

I don't even take into consideration the fact that it was a portal!!!Oh man,that was good!

6557681 Yeah, sometimes short one shots do surprisingly good. Regardless, congrats dude.

*reads chapter...*
Now THAT'S thinking with portals!!!

I would've done this after Sunset got hit in the head.

Ok that was hilarious :pinkiehappy: Even if it wasn't quite show accurate, it was still funny to read :twilightsmile:

6556319 I want to know if Sunset knew that Discord was free and reformed at the time. I mean, even an army of Snips and Snails would be no match for him.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty dumb too until I thought that maybe she was going to smash the edge of the portal so the stone would shatter. So it kinda makes sense.

...But that still doesn't excuse Twilight suddenly forgetting that she's a smart resourceful character and making that dumb decision of thinking Equestria will survive with one of the powerful Elements of Harmony gone despite them being essential to Equestria's protection and needing all six to work.

Hey look it's a real hurricane Fluttershy-:rainbowlaugh:

There is a place on the moon for you too Rainbow Dash!:trollestia:

I died!:rainbowlaugh:

Welp... Sunset is dead! A Sledge going that fast would... do much much more then KO her... Damn you Cartoon logic you foil my scientific rant once again!
NOOOOOOO----
*gets a Sledge to the face*

Oh oh..maybe..um...maybe a sequel chapter with Sunset having total amnesia?

Won't somepony think of the poor sledgehammer? It's an innocent victim in all of this!:ajsmug:

That actually did get some giggles out of me. Well done. ^^

And what was that plan? To bring a bunch of zombified humans through the portal, slow and stumbling, so that they might face of against the might of Equestria's equine denizens. What odds did a magic wielding unicorn possess against a shambolic teenager? Or the winged dynamos that comprised the pegasus race, how could they possibly hope to best grounded Neanderthals? Surely, Equestria didn't stand a chance! Of course, that meant that Sunset Shimmer couldn't actually destroy the portal - but Twilight didn't need to know that!

But don't you see? When teenage humans go to Equestria, they all turn into red-and-black alicorns! At least, that's what fanfiction told me. So this plan is ingenious after all! :rainbowlaugh:

On another note, now I want to make an Equestria Girls farce because of you. Darn it...

I love black and red alicorns. They are so ripe for fanfiction fodder, hence that Rise of an Alicorn's Destiny story.

I'm glad to have inspired you! If you need a hand with another story, let me know!

"I think... I think I feel that headache coming on..."

This is what a well-executed joke looks like. XD

Suddenly, from the base of the statue, the sledgehammer emerged like a bullet. Sunset Shimmer didn't notice - she lost consciousness just as soon the hammer's head slammed into the back her head.

...When Sunset woke up in the school's infirmary later, she realised she could not remember a thing; at first, she wasn't concerned about this fact since her head was incredibly painful. However, after the school nurse gave her a headache pill, Sunset started freaking out due to not recognising who she was, where she was, or what she was.
As a result of not being able to remember her bullying days, or much of her previous life, Sunset was eventually able to make friends in Canterlot High, without requiring a Friendship Laser.

However, because a human sledgehammer was thrown through the portal and did manage to cause harm to a pony, Princess Celestia insisted increased security measures be placed around the mirror. This case of assault by a being across the mirror to a pony only avoided retaliation when Princess Twilight Sparkle informed Princesses Celestia, Luna and Mi Amore Cadenza that the perpetrator was Sunset Shimmer, a former pony and recent amnesiac. Instead, Sunset Shimmer was tried in absentia, found guilty of assault, and was thereby permanently banished from Equestria.

Since Sunset no longer remembered Equestria, this didn't change anything of note.

:rainbowlaugh:
This was great. I kind of want to see what would happen in the movie, though, if Sunset tried to hit the portal--I feel like it would be very similair to this.
