- >Mirror pond, huh? Seems unnecessary.
- >Why would you need a special magic pond to duplicate yourself?
- >Seems as though you would be able to do it with just a normal mirror, or a normal pond.
- >Just the other day, a swarm of Pinkies bounced through the town, causing mayhem and destruction.
- >Apparently all the clones got sent back to the 'Mirror Pool' from whence they came.
- >Then they put a rock over the entrance to it.
- >Not the soundest security plan ever, but it isn't your problem if it happens again.
- >Never the less, you've been thinking about it ever since.
- >Back to the here and now.
- >You drag the massive mirror out of the shop, and towards the library.
- >This should be fun, though Twilight is bound to disagree.
- >The trip there is uneventful, as most trips are.
- >The wind made the cloth covering the mirror flap around, and you got a few weird looks, but that's par for the course.
- >You drop the mirror in front of the library's entrance.
- "Oi, Twilight!"
- >An audible groan of intense hatred emanates from the library.
- >Shortly thereafter, a violet unicorn pops out of the door.
- >"What!"
- >You unveil the mirror, revealing a reflection of you, the unicorn, and the library.
- >"Whatever you're trying to do, do it! I was in the middle of a very important experiment when you interrupted me!"
- >Blah blah blah. How droll.
- >You say nothing, and just reach into the mirror.
- >Your mirrored self turns his hand as you do, and reaches out of the mirror.
- >Grabbing each others wrists, you pull the mirrored clone into your world.
- >"Gah! Why?!"
- >Twilight seems displeased.
- >"If this causes any problems, fix them yourself!"
- >She slams the library door behind her with her damned telekinesis as she re-enters the library.
- >You turn your attention back to your devilishly handsome clone-
- >Wait, no. You're ugly as sin and you know it. Well, mediocre at best sums it up pretty well.
- >Still, it's your clone, and you know you're the real one because you have a dominant right hand.
- >"So, time to completely ignore physics for the sole purpose of messing with these ponies?"
- "I guess. But you know what sounds even better?"
- >"What?"
- >You stop being outside the library, and start being inside Sugarcube Corner.
- "Confectionery!"
- >Clononymous managed to stop being there and start being here as well.
- >Helpful.
- >You throw some bits over the counter and grab a pair of particularly nice looking cupcakes.
- >In retrospect, there was probably glass in the way.
- >Ah well. You can't see air, and you can move through that, so there's no problem, right?
- >"Right!"
- >The two of you seem to think on the same wavelength, which also makes sense.
- >You toss one of the cupcakes to yourself, and you both start to eat.
- "So how's the mirror world compared to this one?"
- >"Eh, less Anons in there."
- >You glance at a nearby window, and can't see your reflection.
- >This too, makes sense.
- >You love how much things in Equestria just make sense.
- >Pinkie backs through the door, carrying a big pile of what is presumably baking supplies. The door's bell rings.
- >"Hi, Anonymouses!"
- >She also seems to know how things go around here.
- >She goes behind the counter and into the back.
- >You finish your cupcake, and start for the door.
- >"Hey Anon, catch!"
- >A projectile pastry is propelled towards your partner.
- >And he catches it-
- >With damned telekinesis.
- >"Oh, hey, that's neat."
- "I trusted you!"
- >"Hey, we both knew something like this was bound to happen eventually."
- >He's right. Mirror copies are inevitably evil.
- "Still, we will settle this like men!"
- >"Fists at dawn?"
- "Fists at dawn."
- >And you go your separate ways.
- >You instinctively know that the battleground will take place on Applejack's farm.
- >Guess you'd better warn her, since your evil clone obviously won't.
- >You stop being at Sugarcube Corner
- >And start being outside a barn in Sweet Apple Acres.
- >Applejack steps out of the barn.
- "Ahem."
- >She leaps a bit into the air and faces you.
- >No surprised yelp, though she does seem to be sizing up potential escape routes.
- >"Howdy Anon, fancy seeing you here."
- "Yeah, yeah. Straight to business, My mirror clone and I are going to be having a fight here at dawn tomorrow."
- >"Uhh, sure."
- "Also, on an entirely related note, I need a horseshoe."
- >"Ah ain't gonna argue. Here, take one of these."
- >She re-enters the barn, and comes out with a horseshoe.
- >It looks like it'll fit over your fist. Perfect.
- "Thank you."
- >You stop being in Sweet Apple Acres
- >And start being in Carousel Boutique.
- >To her credit, Rarity doesn't even flinch.
- >That might be because she's focussing on something important right now.
- >"Oh, I mustn't have heard you come in, did you need anything, Anon?"
- "Yeah, I need another leather glove, a bit bigger than the last one."
- >"Oh, how big?"
- >You show her your fist, with the horseshoe on it.
- "Big enough to fit this. Don't worry about making it pretty, It's not going to last."
- >And she starts. She sure does work fast.
- >A mere fifteen minutes later, you have a glove. A very pretty, very large, glove.
- >You toss a handful of bits at her, and she catches them with her telekinesis.
- >You stop being in Carousel Boutique
- >And start being on top of Rainbow Dash.
- >Riding her like a sort of hoverboard.
- "So, Dash. Want to help me do something cool."
- >"Sure, I guess."
- "Sweet. Help me move a mirror that's in front of the library."
- >The two of you move the mirror into Sweet Apple Acres, with the reflective side facing towards the sky.
- >Thanking Rainbow Dash for her help, you stop being where you are
- >And start being inside Twilight's bedroom.
- >You snuggle up under her covers and go to sleep, completely ignoring the fact that it's about two in the afternoon.
- >Hours pass, the sun sets and then barely peaks above the horizon when you wake up.
- >Turns out Twilight doesn't go to sleep in her bed that often, she usually falls asleep while studying.
- >Or, at least, you're assuming that's why she didn't bother you while you were sleeping.
- >Either way, you head off out the window.
- >You move towards Sweet Apple Acres by curling into a ball and rolling across the air.
- >When you arrive, you put your glove on, over the horseshoe.
- >Clononymous is already there, tapping his foot impatiently.
- "Should we gather a crowd or something?"
- >"Yeah, no matter which way this goes, it's going to be sweet."
- "I'll get Dash, Pinkie and Twilight, you get AJ, Fluttershy and Rarity."
- >You take a running leap, and stop being at the battleground
- >And start being in Rainbow Dash's bedroom.
- >You tackle her off the bed and, still moving fast, stop being in her bedroom
- >And start being in Pinkie Pie's bedroom.
- >Moving Rainbow Dash to the side, you bearhug her and Pinkie together, combat roll, leap into the air and stop being in Pinkie's bedroom
- >And start being in Twilight's study.
- >Loosening your hug, you crash into Twilight, and stop being in her study,
- >And start being back at the battleground.
- >Both you and Clononymous appear at the same time.
- >You, however, decided to appear a few hundred feet in the air.
- >Since it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end, if you hit the ground slow enough you shouldn't be harmed.
- >And, since the air is thicker near the ground than it is higher up, it should slow you down enough before you hit the ground.
- >You plummet at terminal velocity towards the ground and, as you get closer, start to slow down.
- >By the time you're about five feet from the ground, you're almost stationary.
- >You uncurl yourself and place your feet onto the ground.
- >Perfect landing.
- >You release the ponies from your snug, cocoon-like embrace.
- >They groggily awaken, and wonder where they are and how they got here.
- >You and Clononymous set them up in a line, parallel to where we will be fighting.
- >They eventually regain their full faculties.
- >The two of you nod to each other.
- "Welcome to the once in a lifetime MIRROR SHOWDOWN!"
- >"In this corner, weighing howevermany pounds, is CLONONYMOUS!"
- "And in this corner, weighing exactly the same amount, is ANONYMOUS!"
- >It is time.
- >You both punch at the same time, forming a mirror image.
- >Your fists are moving so fast, the air around them immolates.
- >Then, your punches connect.
- >The brofist to end all brofists.
- >There's a massive explosion that thankfully doesn't create a black hole, and huge clouds of smoke obscure the two of you.
- >The dust clears, and you are the only one left standing.
- >Clononymous flies through the air, eventually landing square in the centre of the mirror you and RD set up earlier.
- >The mirror absorbs the clone, and order is restored to the world once more.
- >The glove and horseshoe, both blackened, took the brunt of the force, and crumble into dust.
- >When they do, the crowd goes wild.
- >Well, the crowd sans Twilight, who is just sitting there, open mouthed.
- >You walk over to her, kneel down in front of her so you can look her in the eyes, and say;
- "Why did you teach him telekinesis and not me?"
