Okay, this one gonna need a bit of background. I've been doing the artwork for this radio drama based on the pony POV series by Alex Warlorn. I am also doing the artwork for an episode later down the line that features Trixie's sisters from the same fanfic, and for that one I drew an image of the sister in sillouette, but forgot the horns, so I had to scrap the image.
Long story short, ep 4 got delayed quite a fair bit and the director of the project had to put it together as quickly as he could, and as such he digged that image up from god knows where (I don't even remember uploading it anywhere, so where he got it from is a mystery to me.) and put it in the place in the story where an alternative reality Applejack (It's THAT sort of fanfic) goes with uncle and aunt Orange to catch a show.
As a result, at least in the audio adaption-verse, the alternative reality where AJ actually stat with aunt Orange is now populated by a mysterious group of earth-ponies that all look mysteriously like Trixie, and while I joked around about that with the director by email, I wrote this little thing to flesh out the characters.
Should it not be "doppelgänger"?

thanks for the correction. 
Indeed it should,
I'm not that good a critiking fics, but I would like to say good job, though it could use a bit more work. I will stick around to see where this goes.

Well, yeah, I didn't expect anyone to be interested enough in something as esoteric as the Alternative Universe version of a couple of original characters from another fanfic for more than a brief one-shot. 
Surely I didn't leave THAT many loose threads?
1234927 Uhh...
Of course...
Everything got explained alright.dl.dropbox.com/u/93510029/spike.png

They get up on stage, they perform a show, they argue behind the stage for a while, hen they move on, that's the story. Yeah, it's kinda low-key, but what's wrong with that? 
What's there to explain?

Uhhh.. about everything.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Rainbow_Dash_lolface.png dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Rainbow_Dash.png

Okay, I've tried to provide enough paratext to explain the context of this story, but here goes. This takes place in an alternative universe where Applejack never saw the Sonic Rainboom and went on to stay with her aunt and uncle Orange, ony it's told from the perspective of a group of stage ponies that perform illusionism, that is, a magic show, but without using any form of unicorn magic, relying instead on sleight-of-hoof and just in general the same kind of techniques a normal stage magician would use.
The reason for this rather odd choice of setting and characters is because I'm one of the sequential artists for the audio adaption of reharmonized ponies, I drew the art for this ep (which is why the art sucks.
) However, the director took one of my unfinished drawings I did for another ep, the one with Trixie's sisters and put it in this one to fill out a small gap where Orangejack goes to see an early morning show with her aunt and uncle.
And as such, as far as the audio-adaption-verse goes, there's four doppelgängers of Trixie and her sisters running around in one of the pararell universes, and I found that amusing enough that I just had to flesh out the characters a bit and here we are. It is a fix-fic for the audio adaption of another fanfic, easy as pie.
Okay, that IS kind of an odd origin for a fanfic, but I DID do the best I could to explain the premise of the fic itself in the description, and the origin behind it in a comment attached to it, but if there's anything else that confuses you, let me know and I'll try to explain

Have you seen my Pony POV Series? Good luck with that.
*Grins* Very cute fic but the explanation might fit better asa preface rather than an addendum. Still enjoyed it though was mildly baffled.

That's a good idea, I tend to try and avoid authors notes, since they feel a bit self-indulgent to me and instead I put the explanation in the comments since I figured that if peopel are confused, they are gonna look there anyway, but for this one, I prolly need to explain the premise in the body of the fic itself, or elseits utterly incomprehensible.
1881068 Don't think of them as self indulgent. I personally really enjoy them. I personally love getting more insight into the writer's thought process and ideas. As well when it's something like this to help explain the story I think it's maybe even necessary.
Like I said though I don't think it was really needed. Even not knowing totally what was going on I still really enjoyed the fic.
