Starlight Glimmer has won and Twilight and Spike are pulled into yet another alternate timeline. But everything is not as it seems.

“I just realized, any friend of Pinkie’s will be a friend to you,” added Twilight.

“Is that many?”

“You have no idea.”

:rainbowlaugh:!

I was not expecting for Pinkie Pie to be the ruler of this Alternate Equestria, nor was I expecting her to be an Alicorn:rainbowderp:! Then again, that was a pretty clever choice, since this is Pinkie and all:ajsmug:.

I enjoyed this. My only regret is having only so much time with alternate universe Pinkie. I would have moved to see more of her and it would be fun to see her meet the main universe Pinkie.

Well, she did return to the prime timeline. As for meeting Pinkie, perhaps I should write a sequel.

I do think that can be done but I will also say that what you have here is a complete story. It is great as is but if you find an additional story based off of this I certainly would read it.

What have you done... now there are two pinkies and the new one has a horn and wings!! There is no telling the chaos that insues that is if when the pinkies met they don’t end up destroying space and time by doing so!!!

Pretty decent overall, but this:

“...and Starlight will be put on trial for her crimes. I’ll ensure she’s kept in a secure location where her magic is useless.”

Makes me wonder… What crimes exactly did Starlight commit (aside from attacking Twilight)? Technically, all she did was stopping the rainboom, everything that followed was pretty much a coincidence. Unless there is a law against time travel, I don’t think she can be held accountable for the outcome.

As for Pinkie alicorn... She could use a sequel, but IMHO you could use it to write something longer, not a one-shoot. Just a though :twilightsmile:

Then the next month everypony is killed because Starlight didn't become their friend.

The end.

I like.
Well written.

Now this is an interesting idea. When Twilight visits the various futures she comes across ascended versions of her friends (but only one or two per timeline) and enlists them to help stop Starlight. When she returns to her original present they merge with their bearer (non ascended) selves.

Would they have to learn everything about their new lives, forget their battle with Starlight in favour of the current time line memories, or have both sets of memories mesh together?

They could even be separate and slowly fade after talking to their counterparts.

"Huh" as in "Huh good" or "Huh" as in "Huh bad"?

“...and Starlight will be put on trial for her crimes. I’ll ensure she’s kept in a secure location where her magic is useless.”

You need to either change this. Or find a better justification for it. What crimes did she do? Fucked over time doesn't count since those timelines don't exist anymore.

Powerful magic? That's even more stupid. Sunset Shimmer was guilty of the same, and she got off scot free.

“She’s extremely powerful; we can’t risk her wielding her magic. Who knows what she would attempt next.”

Well, it's actually one of two mutually exclusive: either they can risk or they have to kill her immediately.

Probably assaulting royalty.

Negating all existence is one of those laws that aren't actually on the law books, because why would it!

Attempted Realityicide?

Please make a sequel.

All in good time. I'm actually working on a sequel to my story Rainbow Dash Comes Out of the Closet.

Dreadnought

I really think you should make a sequel series.

9254223
I think I will... at least one story. But first, I'll be publishing two sequels to my story Rainbow Dash Comes Out of the Closet. Be sure to check them out!

Thought you'd be interested to know I'm halfway done with the sequel to this story.

Another oneshot or something longer, perhaps? I'll read it anyway, but I'm curious :twilightsmile:

9306995
It will be longer, but is not a massive story like some of the other stories on the site.

I think you mean:

So far the cutie mark removal spell only counts as forbidden in the fandom. I seriously doubt there was a law against it since no one thought it was possible to do.

And Our Town? I blame that more on ponies being stupid enough to listen to Starlight in the first place. You make that illegal. You trample on free will.

Stealing the scroll does so I'll give you that.

9310885
Oh. Do you think that highly of me?

Thanks! :pinkiehappy:

Oh, I didn't mean to reply to you!

“You’re not going anywhere but to see the First Lord,” proclaimed the leader, the others lowering glowing horns at the hapless pair....

Just teleport

“Yes. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”

Is that a grammar mistake?

Don't know - ask Charles Dickens.

Is that who you got it from?

-A Tale of Two Cities-
I've always loved that quote.

10682966
That’s where it came from?

10683022
Yeah, it's uttered by one of the characters as he takes an innocent man's place before the guillotine.
