"Hey Twi..."

by Flint-Lock

Entry #28

Let me tell you how my day went, Twi.

When I pulled into the school’s parking lot, it didn’t take me long to find an empty space; half of them were empty. I met up with my three remaining friends, then walked to our respective homerooms. Mr. Doodle wasn’t there. Instead, we got some guy I’d never seen before.

The school was a lot dumpier than I remember. The ceilings are seriously water-stained. The Lockers are showing signs of rust. The floor is scuffed and stained, and a lot of windows are either cracked or boarded up.

When I asked Principal Celestia why the school was in such bad shape, she just sighed and said that it’d been like this when she took over, that she’d tried to fix it up a little. She rambled on about she’d lost track of how many times she begged the city for additional funding, and how every time they’d claim that the city simply don’t have the money. Then, when she thought I wasn’t looking, she’d take a drink of something out of a hip flask.

I guess that’s what happens when your city’s tax base is slowly being wiped from existence.

Twi, I’m coming through the portal. I don’t know what’s going on over in Equestria, but these one-sided conversations are getting old. Princess duties or not, we need to talk. NOW.

Coal to diamonds that the portal doesn't work.

[Mystic Sunrise]

A million bits say the portal no longer exists. It never existed in fact. Hence why Twilight doesn't respond. She's not getting any of these.

[PirateLord93]

So it's not just people disappearing, the world is deteriorating.

[GT3RS]

Twilight about to stop existing in 3... 2... 1...

[Uz Naimat]

What in Tartarus is going on? Whatever it is, I’m excited (and a little terrified) to find out!

I have a frightening feeling you’re both right.

[Crystonian]

11108587
Yeah, now that would be scary

But what if the portal does work? And she finds the same thing happening in Equestria, or worse.

[Osiris Grandeur]

Terrifying, ngl

[katzoo12]

Wow…freaky. This is getting interesting. Btw, does this take place before Friendship Games? No sign of Sci-Twi.

[Alchemik]

This sounds disturbingly similar to a false hydra situation. Horrifying indeed.

Alright, I'm going to make a plot twist prediction that would make M. Night Shyamalan both proud and envious.

Equestria doesn't exist in this story. The portal doesn't exist Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the ponies don't exist. None of them ever existed. What we're seeing is nothing more than Sunset Shimmer slowly coming out of a delusion, brought on by either substance abuse, mental illness, or brain damage. She imagined the entire world of Equestria Girls as a coping mechanism for the sad, lonely life she's really been living, devoid of friends or love. So strong were these delusions that she honestly believed them herself, even as they're vanishing right in front of her.

That, or she's slowly waking up from a coma, and what she finds when she awakens is going to make her want to go right back to that long, comforting dream.

I actually really like this one. There's a lot of moments throughout Equestria Girls where you think "all of this could just be a huge drug trip". First one that comes to mind is Sunset's Backstage Pass. Was it really a time loop, or was she just on something cuz festival?

I prefer to assume the author doesn't suck until proven otherwise. 'They're actually insane' is about as fresh and surprising as dust in a mummy's tomb.

[Cerulean Blue]

Not looking good for the group at the moment

[redandready45]

Seeing the world decay around you....
