Something weird is going on in the human world. Sunset needs advice.

If only Twilight would write back.

Pretty interesting start

Interesting was Rainbow Dash abducted by aliens. that one line made me wonder. It was like, as I stared at the stars, something was staring back.

Well this is certainly creepy.

The fun of bureaucracy, and of dimensions used as a "oops, that ooze looks like it's going to eat through my table, better get rid of it" destination

I'd vote 1 the Sand Republic, down with the Lawn Grass Loyalists!

Sounds like someone messed with the timeline and/or we're talking dimensional bodyswap here.

Not good, not good at all

Check if her parents still exist.

“If you gaze long into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes back at you.” - Friedrich Nietzche

Very good, and very creepy. I can only imagine that, whatever has happened to RD, has affected Twilight too.

Well, this is deeply concerning. Let's see where it goes.

I figured this would happen. What concerns me the most is Twilight's continued silence. Is she dealing with something similar?

The written notes method of logging what is happening does add to the sense of dread I think...

Why is Twilight not responding?

The horror is really ramping up on this, well done.
Pinkie is gone, that's heartbreaking!

Maybe pony Equestria got erased and it's taking out the Equestria girls universe one by one. Dunno. Interesting to speculate.

I think I already see where this is going, and I don't think, Sunset is going to like it. :ajsleepy:

Chills, man. Literal chills.

This story is fantastic. You, dear author, have somehow managed to get me to like the [Horror] tag, which is a genre I dislike and abstain from. Wonderful work. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

(Also, quick question. At what point in the Equestria Girls timeline are you setting this? Because Sunset here says they’ve always been six. When that’s not true. They’re seven, including Sci-Twi. So when is this set?)

This reminds me of The Twilight Zone episode "And When The Sky Was Opened"

I think this happened on an episode of 'Star Trek TNG' with Dr. Crusher as the only one to notice

would that be down the Drain?

Great story. I look forward to reading more, assuming I even exist when the rest is written.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Twilight's behind it all.

11107571
No. More like to a world without magic, or the friends that harness it.

Lots of scary implications here... my first thought? False Hydra.

Problem: EGverse is generally a low-magic one, no native beasties and such.
Implication: So the hypothetical hydra isn't native.
Implication: So the false hydra is Equestrian.

Twilight isn't answering. Twilight won't be answering. Twilight cannot answer. And soon, neither will anyone else.

It could realistically only be set with six between the start of Rainbow Rocks and the end of Friendship Games, so not that much of a window rlly

It might be that Wallflower killed rainbow and used her stone tubing to make everybody forget about her.

But that wouldn't make her house become abandoned, and it wouldn't remove her from Sunset's photo.

It could be Time travel that's involved or sunset is in a mantel hospital the whole time.

11107487
That was one of the inspirations.

11107966
There is a major hole in that idea. It wouldn't erase Rainbow from Sunset's photos, or any photo Rainbow was in.

What do you think is going on?

Something wierd

(long description)

I think it's spelled "weird"?

Anyways, pretty interesting story you got here

The MLP equivalent of Langoliers?

Very intruiging, and the short form format is really working for the story.

11108136
My money is on some new form of magic that not only removes an individual from time and space but also completely erases them from existance, as if they'd never been born.

That or Discord is having a laugh at their expense.

My guess is that she was the first one to disappear.

Coal to diamonds that the portal doesn't work.

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.

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

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

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

11108587
11108549
I have a frightening feeling you’re both right.

11108587
Yeah, now that would be scary

This is the kind of existential horror that I was craving. Keep up the good work. I can't wait for Twilight to reply with a single word:

RUN

11108549
But what if the portal does work? And she finds the same thing happening in Equestria, or worse.

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

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.

11108935
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?
