The day after her coronation in Canterlot, Twilight wakes up to discover everyone has just... vanished. Finding out what happened to them may be the most difficult thing she's ever done...
A mystery AND a comedy. Don't I spoil you?

???: Do you think i did too much sean?
Me: Perhaps...but hey You're the god of chaos you know!
???: oh please This was fun even for me!
Me: yeah i know you did too
Having discord do this with you was A great prank
He doesn't know Twilight very well, does he?

Now that's what I call perfect timing.

Maybe he was being a tad optimistic.
11774932
Utterly unrealistic is more like it. Not that I'm complaining.
11774943
Well, it all looks like it turned out okay in the end, so that's some kind of result... I guess.
Right, of course Twilight solves a massive problem while dealing with "oh I erased everyone from existence" while Celestia does nothing, makes sense.
11774968
In her defence, Celestia was only ever a supporting character in the show, so it was obvious Twilight was going to see a lot more action. But even so...
11774975
Someone needs to make a video on how many times Twilight has almost died, it has to be atleast around 100, just to be clear Celestia is usually the one making Twilight handle these situations, so anything that happens to Twilight is practically on Celestia.
Oh also, great story.
11774981
I agree... with a tiny counter in the corner to tally the EXACT amount of occasions Twilight came close to death's door while Celestia sat on her butt in the palace eating sweet treats. (To Celestia fans: I love her, really I do, but it's safe to say if it hadn't been for her prize student, she never would've gotten the chance to retire peacefully a hundredfold).
And thanks. It was fun writing it, too.

Really? My mind went to Kevin McAllister. Though I must say, an ancient lich makes a far more frightful adversary than Harry or Marv.

True
And with that, I now open Best of Random (2)! Starring “Where Has Everypony Gone?!” as my first entry.
Lovely little bit of madness and slight OOC humor. Thanks for a fun read!
I was expecting a spongebob reference to the episode "Gone". This was a fun read non the less

The whole spectrum of emotions. I like it!

Wow. I've never been a pioneer before. Thanks!

I generally avoid referencing other cartoons in my MLP fics. If you do it too much, it can be a bit... distracting.
Apart from ones where humans get stuck in Equestria, of course. It's a cultural thing.

Thank you, Oh Great Bard.
Woah! This was one interesting story, Author! I honestly didn’t expect that ending since I thought Twilight’s friends and the citizens of Canterlot got “Raptured” away or something supernatural. Thank you for writing this fascinating and funny tale! May God bless you this Christmas and beyond 2024!

Youʼre welcome!
Okay, but like why the Twilight look so cute? Swear to God I never would have expected putting the face of Waddles from Gravity falls on a pony to be that much cuter.

I chose that pic as the front cover because I thought Twilight’s expression and the eccentric style were a good fit for the story it represented.
BTW, Any mention of one of the best shows ever is welcome ‘round these parts, so thanks for commenting.
so in conclusion twilight is doing the twilight overthinking dumb think and jumping the wrong answer that isn't needed and if she just looked at Ponyville she would see a stupidly huge crowd and for some reason she found all those items that make no sense in a book that sounds like discord had a hand in making as a epic troll without see the crowd in Ponyville she is either blind or really dumb at the moment
11776392
My response to that would be she was so resolute in her determination to collect all those items to save everyone that she was blinkered to how many people were in Ponyville, or round the castle or whatever. Besides, in this story, she didn’t go anywhere near Ponyville so she couldn’t have seen anything anyway. It’s only a wacky, humorous off-the-cuff fic, in any case… you don’t have to take it so serious.
11776407
It's more along the lines of she is so smart you get. She is so stupid at times when she is hyper focused. She doesn't think of the most simplest answer even though yes, it is extremely weird that an entire cities population is not there. She just immediately goes to the end of the world type scenario first
11776412
She’s so used to the answer to every question being a BIG HEROIC QUEST that she didn’t realise the solution could be much simpler and right under her nose. That was my thinking behind the story… agree or disagree, it is what it is.
That’s the life she’s adapted to for years since the rise of Nightmare Moon, she would probably find it hard to adapt to a quieter time. At least, like you saw at the end of the fic, she unintentionally took care of a major threat which could’ve caused a big problem in the future in the process.
A little lack of continuity as, despite all the skills that Twilight developed throughout the series, it would have taken him at least a week of his time to have all the ingredients before facing the Lich
PS: Is that Lich the Lich of Adventure Time? But Pony world version
11776560
You’d be surprised at what you can do if you were in a hurry to save literally hundreds of ponies, and you had super amazing cool alicorn powers…
As for what Lich this is, let’s just say that this guy is his….cousin. They’re not on speaking terms right now, but if he plays his cards right he may just be invited in time for Christmas dinner…
oh my gawd the art is so freaking cute I'm gonna go sleep now and read dis tomorrow
11776606
Ehhh, as you can see from my profile picture, I don’t think I gather enough energy and motivation to do so even if I’m an alincornio... besides, who will receive the letter? an alternative version of The Lich or the child being he became?
The cover art is adorable. They story is good
11777526
You took the words right out of my
mouthtiny virtual keyboard!This is one of the best "Twilighting Twilight" stories I've ever read! (How many have I read? At least three. )
pfft
For three thousand words of setup, this is the most cliche resolution it could have been. Literally the first guess.
It isn't even funny.

To you, maybe. Many others seem to have enjoyed it though, which is good enough for me. Thanks for reading, anyway!
