SAT. GMAT. LSAT. FAFSA.

The other universe had many strange words, but these had to be the strangest that Sunset Shimmer had ever seen! Consumed with panic, she knows she only has one way to solve this problem and pass this test:

She's going to have to kidnap Sunset Shimmer.

Strange shipping but great fluffy fried shipping that could continue as a multiple chapter story.

I’m happy being a magical unicorn frolicking through sparkly green fields!

I would too. If only Equestria was real and we had some way to turn into ponies and go there. :fluttershysad:
WHY IS THE HUMAN WORLD SO SHITTY?! :flutterrage:

Not a sushi person but I would treat my only means of gaining more of a delicacy a little better.

Well, this explains we don't see the human Sunset any time in EqG. :rainbowlaugh:

As a high school senior, I deeply relate to this. Seriously. I have... (counts days) 9 days left until the deadline for early applications, and I am doing my best not to go into a panic fit lol. Excellent job on applying a subject we can all relate to in one way or another to this entry of yours.

“Oh, so now you’re going to re- kidnap me, and force me to take standardized tests?! That’s even more evil than before!”

She's not wrong about that.

The descriptions of the college application process here is 100% accurate and I applaud you.

Most millennials or gen z's reaction to being sent to a fantasy world I'd say. Why do you think isekai stories are so popular these days.

God, nothing is more annoying than those stupid essays. I don't even remember what I made up for them, but I pretty sure the people who read them also hated themselves and just made sure I met the word count.

:pinkiesick: I KNOW my luck!
Otherwise I would have tried sushi years ago but since I know my luck I haven't and haven't died by coming down with ALL of the possibilities that you can come down with when eating sushi.

If Sunset knew the job application process, she'd drop dead.

Even something as simple as a cashier job can take pages and pages of documents. My parents think I don't work because I'm lazy. And that's not, eh, entirely true. I am a slacker, but I find the job application process also too bureaucratic.

The idea of the "other" Sunset being dumped into Equestria by "pony" Sunset could actually work as a good "Other Sunset" headcanon.

Thanks for submitting to the contest!

Sunset does not have a good track record when she tried to make plans under pressure. (See trying to destroy a portal between dimensions with a sledgehammer.) That said, it's not clear where this conversation is taking place. Seems like we have a human talking to a unicorn, not just in mind but in body. To say nothing of how sushi left at the portal would manage to lure former-human Sunset in from across Equestria. :rainbowhuh:

I know, this story shouldn't be taken too seriously. But its own logic doesn't quite mesh. Still enjoyable silliness if I don't think about it too much. Thank you for it.

Yeah, there's definitely some pony-grade silliness in there! How would Sunset (the unicorn) smell food from across Equestria? Why, those cartoony wisps of "good smellin' food" that emanates from every tasty food item on screen, of course! :rainbowlaugh: They are also talking - quite literally - through the portal, so we do have a human and unicorn facing off, which I don't know if it actually works that way in the cartoon! But, well, it's fun! :rainbowlaugh:

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you had fun reading it!

“‘Tell us about a difficulty you’ve overcome in your life’ - oh I dunno, being banished from my entire dimension?!

ah, too bad those admissions people would be too closed-minded to accept that!

“What’s the problem? World falling apart? Inter-dimensional rot, or something?”

oh, hey, it's the trope i use!

And I had hooves. That was a wild couple of weeks, let me tell you.” The unicorn shook her head, and her eyes went far away for a moment.

ah, classic HIE-turned-pony story so far

“What? No.” The unicorn stared at her oddly. “Weirdo.”

haha, perfect!

Even if I was miserable here, the only way I’d come back to that world would be to turn you in to the police!

i mean, if the college admittance boards won't accept interdimensional orphanhood, what are the police going to say to this? think now-pony Sunset, think!

“Aren’t they all doing the applications too? Why not ask them for help?” the unicorn asked, looking at Sunset Shimmer like she might be the worst kind of idiot in the world.

“Well, I … I didn’t think of that.”

The unicorn version of herself rolled her eyes. “Is this the kind of problem-solving that led you to kidnapping a teenager off the street?”

other Sunset has a good point! when will our Sunset learn that the answer to all the life problems she faces is friendship?

“Oh, so now you’re going to re-kidnap me, and force me to take standardized tests?! That’s even more evil than before!”

another great point

“Yeah, I’m not a total dipstick, alright?” the unicorn huffed. “Guidance. Counselor. At the high school. Maybe they can - I dunno, get you a tutor or something. Hold you back a year. If all else fails, maybe you can go to a junior college.”

“A college for kids?”

dang, maybe this Sunset really is the worst kind of idiot in the world!

“I’m going to take a test next week to certify as a potion technician. Potions! Like, for magic! This stuff is so much fun, I can’t freakin’ stand it! So there is no way I’m ever coming back to your world, especially not to take any dumb tests for you!”

other Sunset is definitely relatable here. life in Equestria does just seem overall more fun to live overall.

Sunset Shimmer was cut off as a plastic sushi tray hit her directly in the face.

loved this bit as much as i did the first time, perfect way to end it!


it's nice to just think that the reason why we never hear about human Sunset is that she's living a happy, quiet life as a pony in Equestria, away from all the trouble of being a main character. the mental image of a young Sunset committing interdimensional kidnapping in the past is also great. thanks for it!
