Epilogue: Celestial Conversations
Eight young women sat outside the principal’s office. Seven of them were from the school in question, the four older students sporting the damage they had received to either body, mind, or attire, while the younger three were there as either victim, accomplice, or witness to the occurrences of the day.
The eighth young woman had arrived just minutes beforehand and was staring at the seven with a very apologetic frown. “Are you all sure you’re going to be alright? When I didn’t hear from Sunset, and they kept coming back one by one I was worried that my friends might have caused some serious harm.”
Dash rolled her eyes and adjusted her ice pack. “For the last time Twilight, we’re all okay. I kinda deserved it anyways. What I’m wondering is why my dad hasn’t kicked down the door yet.” The thought of her dad charging in, camera in hand to immortalize Rainbow’s “First Interdimensional Fight” kept popping into her head, and making her wish she’d been a little more discreet when she got to call him herself.
Now that she thought about it, that was probably why he was taking so long. He was mid-drive when she called and had to double back for the camera.
Applejack had some bandages around her wrists but was otherwise unperturbed as she sat back. “Dash has a point there, Applebloom may have started the mess and brought her friends in, but Ah didn’t exactly act much better about handling it.” She adjusted her hat and blushed a bit in embarrassment. “Wasn’t fair for her ta get punished and not me too.”
“But my friends all caused so much damage here! The school library is in shambles! The Library!” The lavender girl looked to Rarity. “And my Rarity almost completely ruined your clothes! Isn’t that a social faux-pas of the century on this side of the portal?”
Rarity was holding a compact, looking over her make-up and fixing any errors that were made to her appearance. Her clothes after round two, short as it was, was only being held together by the pins she’d put through several spots. “To go around nude, yes. And I will most likely receive some odd looks for a time.” The fashionista adjusted her mirror and continued to brush out her hair. “But in tatters, my attire may be, I am likely going to be excused for the rest of the day at worst due to this. I will have plenty of time to fix any damages over the weekend.” She closed her compact and put it away. “And besides darling, I did as much to her as she did to me. Catfights are rarely one-sided.”
She also had to give it to her counterpart. She aimed for the seams too.
Sweetie yet a small smirk crawl onto her face for a moment as she continued to mess with her phone. Fluttershy raised an eyebrow as she looked over at her friend’s sister, wondering just how she was involved to warrant small pleasure at the mention of the fight.
The door leading into the front office opened, before Sunset and Pinkie, both came in, followed by the Principal. When the older woman saw Twilight, she paused for a moment before smiling. “Princess, it is good to see you. Though I wish it were under better circumstances.”
Twilight was immediately bowing her head apologetically as she moved aside to let the principal get to her office. “I am so, so sorry for what’s happened. I know I can’t help with undoing any damages due to the nature of the situation, but I assure you my friends will face appropriate consequences for their actions today.”
Principal Celestia only raised her hand with a calm smile as she motioned the young woman to calm down. “I hold no expectations for how my student’s counterparts are handled. They are under your jurisdiction, after all, seeing as I’m only a High School Principal on this side of the mirror.”
Looking at the rest, she continued to smile in amusement. “As for the rest of you, the only ones who will even face a modicum of punishment are Ms. Applejack and Ms. Pie.” At the indignant looks on their faces, Celestia smirked a bit at the farm girl. “Ms. Cheerilee informed me of how two-sided the brawl in the library was, and with how Applebloom was involved in trying to stop the fight, it could be put down as a family quarrel resulting in the accidental vandalism that was started by Ms. Applejack.”
Applejack’s face started to match her brother’s in color, with a small giggle coming from her little sister.
The principal then turned to the president of the party planning committee and held her smirk back from getting a touch bigger. “In regards to the copious amounts of cake batter that are on the wall from Ms. Pie’s prank, I believe her being in trouble is self-explanatory.”
Celestia stood in front of her door and crossed her arms. “I think it is safe to assume that I expect to see both of you in for detention later tonight to help clean up your messes.” Before Applejack’s jaw hit the floor completely, Celestia winked. “And don’t worry, you will have some help Ms. Applejack. I don’t expect you to clean an entire library overnight.”
“As for the rest of you,” the principal’s amusement was getting harder for her to contain, so she started to pace a bit, “there is not really much I can do about this. From what was reported to me by a certain young trio of girls, Ms. Dash kicked a soccer ball so hard she sent herself flying into a goal when it hit her stomach. Ms. Rarity was in a fight with herself in the middle of the school hallway and ruined her clothes in the process. And Ms. Fluttershy was talking with both herself and Ms. Shimmer before giving herself a veiled threat.” Silence reigned for a moment before a chuckle slipped out of their principal’s lips as she bit back a full laugh. “The most I could officially offer the three of you is a trip to a psychiatrist, and I think we all know how that would turn out.”
The group collectively winced a bit and started looking amongst themselves awkwardly. Sunset added a chuckle on top of it all and turned towards the principal. “Yeah, I don’t exactly want my friends thrown into a loony bin. Even if they did show a minor lapse in rational thought a month ago.”
Scootaloo raised her hand and frowned. “Um... so if that’s all, why are we all here?”
The principal looked to her secretary, Raven, and nodded. Raven wordlessly pulled out a stack of small slips and handed them to Celestia. “To make it easier for me, by having all of these excused absence slips handed out at once, instead of calling all of you in here individually.”
The slips were all handed out everyone, but Twilight and Sunset filed out of the room, either eager to get back to class and out of the office, or somewhat dreading having to do their respective punishments in Applejack and Pinkie’s cases.
Giving her friend a hug, Sunset sighed a bit. “Well, I guess I’ll be seeing you later Twilight. Say hi to Starlight for me?”
“Of course.” Twilight laughed a bit as she started out of the room giving her friend a wave. Just as the door was about to close, she popped her head back in. “Still sorry about all of this by the way.”
“Go, Twilight.” Sunset smiled exasperatedly and shook her head at the sheepish look her friend gave her, as she slipped back out the door. “It is really hard to believe she’s a princess some days.”
Celestia laughed as she held a hand over her mouth. “I believe she would agree with you. Now run along, Sunset, classes will be starting soon.”
Sunset shuffled a bit with an uneasy grimace. “Actually... there’s something I wanted to ask.”
Stopping at the door to her office, Celestia looked over her shoulder. “Hmm?”
Raising an eyebrow, Sunset looked her principal in the eyes. “How did you know that the portal was on the other side of a mirror?”
Silence echoed through the small front office before a small laugh started to sound from within the Principal’s office. Stepping out, Principal Celestia continued to hold onto her sides as she walked over to Principal Celestia and stood next to her copy. “I believe you’ve been found out.”
Sharing in the laugh, the Principal that had been looking over the students nodded in agreement. “It seems I have.” With a wave of her hand, Celestia’s suit turned into a long white silken gown that clung to her body in just the right spots and, if not for magic, would have fallen off of the woman. If any young men had been in the room, they would have been excusing themselves to find somewhere private to think about the Princess.
Sunset, on the other hand, had a different kind of reaction. Her left eye twitched. For a moment that was it, but it was followed quickly by the sputtering of her words all trying to leave at once, the tilting of her head, and finally, all mental faculties shutting down as she fainted dead on the spot.
The two Celestias shared a look before Princess Celestia lifted her former student in her magic and set her down on a chair, making sure she was comfortable. “Do you think we took it too far?”
The Principal waved a hand and smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry; I’ll tell her she had a fever dream from all the stress, and that I knew about the mirror because she’s not the only one with an interdimensional penpal.” Both Celestias shared a nod, and the Princess popped away in a flash of light. As she headed to her office, Principal Celestia looked over to Raven. “I truly need to give you some time off with how much you put up with and keep secret.”
Raven paused in her typing and looked up at her boss, a wry smirk pulling at her lips. “Well, you could always approve of that raise I’ve been wanting.”
The two laughed as Celestia opened her door. “Nice try Raven.”
Dramatically sighing, Raven went back to her work with a small smile. “So close.”

Wait, so Princess Celestia can just teleport between dimensions? I thought only Discord could do that.
Also, I would be so down for a sequel of portal shenanigans. Bring it on!
TBh, I would have liked to have seen Twilight and/or Sunset chew out the equestrians. But a decent wrap up none the less.
This was a perfect conclusion to the story. So funny
And yeah, bring on the sequel! I'd love to see more doppelganger nonsense! XD
Excellent ending to an excellent story!
Loved it!
And as to THIS:
I would love to see a sequel of all this lovely mayhem.
Maybe with the Equestrian Mane 5 and the CHS HuMane 5 (and maybe BOTH sets of CMCs?) meeting under better, more peaceful terms and getting to know each other?
So...... we don't see Twilight going nuts on her pony friends?
Beyond chances for ponies to abuse their counterparts? I'm up for that. Heck, maybe the two groups of Mane 5 can look back on all this with a laugh.
Though I am curious....
What kind of slobberknocker did we miss out on? ....maybe the full Rarity fight too? n//n
8908531
Now I want to write those out, just because you used the term slobberknocker.
8908604
I restrained myself from using "Katie lock the barn".....if that's a real phrase, I'm going off what I've heard from wrestling. Slobberknocker......pier six brawl....think that's the third part of the combo.
But yeah, I'd have some fun getting to see those fights. ....maybe proper rematches if all parties wish it.
Still need to see Twilight go off on her friends for what they did, only to have Princess Celestia step out of the portal and freak her out.
8908493
8908498
I too would love to see more shenanigans!
Also, poor Raven. Hopefully she gets her raise one day.
8908637
And yeah, me, too.
I love to see a sequel, and was kinda hoping Sunset freaks out and calls her "MOMMY?!" By accident.
buck yes please continue
Trollestia rides again!
Love the story wanting sequels to follow soon.
Thoroughly amusing... though this chapter could use another go-over for the sake of intelligibility. You have some truly intrusive typos here and there.
Still, great ponidox story overall. Thank you for it.
8910195
Yeah, that was my bad. I was so eager to post it I forgot to grammar check myself. XD
Also, fixed that very problem.
rarity is too smug, honestly would have made me smile if she'd not gotten her excused absence slip just because of that.
Why can't I ever get visited by my inter-dimensional double?
8949715
Well, that goes without saying.
8949723
Me too! I’ ve always wanted to read a story like that.
Very enjoyable story that I binged through. So many wondrous encounters and I love to see more of this as there is a lot to build on, from portal shenanigans to Sunshy shipping.
ALL HAIL PRINCESS TROOLESTIA!
Ok, that was honestly a bit terrifiying in punishments.
Firstly, apparently Princess Celestia can drop anything she was otherwise busy doing in an instant in order to go to the human world for a prank, with enough time left to spare to inform Principal Celestia and get ready.
Secondly, either Princess Celestia popped away to the statue portal (and wasn't seen in the process), or doesn't need to use the portal - which, if the second one's the case, raises the question of why she kept the mirror in the first place.
Thirdly, apparently there's enough magic in this world now for transfiguration of clothes, telekinesis and teleportation without using an extradimensional artefact or similar.
8983105
Some form of headache, I believe.
8983130
Twilight didn't get a Chinese dress when she went to Canterlot High....
8983763
An aneurysm is the bursting of a blood vessel due to various circumstance. One such cause can be high blood pressure; a common symptom of high amounts of stress.
8983930
Ah, thank you. Clears things up.
8983763
That's because Twilight isn't Rarity. Rarity having a Chinese dress makes sense because she'd look good in it.
8986194
As would Starlight, but she didn't get a wacky outfit.
8986352
Yes, but Starlight isn't a fashionista like Rarity is.
8987217
Then Pinkie's war outfit is explained... How?
8987763
Because Pinkie came in a warlike manner. I'm just surprised the Equestria CMC didn't come over to deal with their counterparts. Probably because Big Mac, Spike, and Discord were watching them.
8989091
And Twilight didn't come in a war-like manner when she first went to Canterlot High? In fact, didn't Diamond Rarity come in a war-like manner, too?
...
8990073
No, Twilight didn't come in a warlike manner when she first went to Canterlot High, she came in an urgent emergency manner, big dif on that. Rarity didn't come in a warlike manner because she's a proper lady and doesn't enjoy war.
8991231
*Cough* Explain the cat-fight then.
8991768
Dude, that was because of the insults thrown at each other. Mostly because of Sweetie Belle.
8991858
Once it moved to clothing, it was war. She's geared for it.
8991902
Yeah, but Chinese clothing is like ninja clothing. You have better flexibility. If Elektra wore an army outfit, she wouldn't much of a badass.
8991908
How can they move their legs in those kinds of dresses? How?
8994194
That's like questioning how Deadpool can move around in his tight red leather.
8994879
Chinese dresses wrap around the legs! They aren't ninja suits!
8996438
Yeah, but they still look good. I mean, for all we know, Rarity could've wearing one before she even came through the portal.
9000118
I got the answer a long time ago. No offence, but you gave me that answer second.
8996438
If I'm looking correctly, most chinese dresses have a slit up to the knee/mid thigh. Though the older ones that were for nobility were very flowy and probably could be fought in.
There are also ones that only go down to the knee or mid-thigh.
8949715
Nnnnnope. Not one of those people. .///. ...... 
Now what would make you say that? ....I'm not one of them.
Uh... neither Sunset nor Twilight should know where Starlight is at this point in time, or be on friendly terms with her.
Apart from that, this was a great story, but wow, this is a glaring continuity error. (And I actually can't believe that no-one else has pointed that out yet.)
This is where I suspected the twist, but it was still a good twist.
Edit: Upvoted.
There's the sequel we need.
Anywho, this was fun. I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started, and then the first chapter looked like revengeporn. But then it wasn't. It was just funny. Phew. Good stuff
