Braeburn and Applejack led Minuette to the dental clinic. โ Let me go, you crazy people! โ Don't worry, Colgate, and don't resist! We're just trying to help you. Braeburn replies. โ WHAT KIND OF COLGATE AM I TO YOU??? MY NAME IS MINUETTE!!! โ the blue unicorn shouted and the Apples froze in place, eyes bulging. Minuette at that moment finally escaped from their hooves. โ Crazy! She turned around and saw a huge sign with herself on it, next to the dental clinic. Minuette herself was painted on the sign. Only here for some reason they call her Colgate and she carried a huge toothbrush. โ I didn't understand! Is that... Me? - she asks herself and, having examined the sign, admires herself. โ But in principle it didnโt turn out bad. Only the toothbrush is too big. And what do I have to do with it? โ Forgive us! We just confused you with this pony, because you are so similar to her. Braeburn explained. โ In what sense are they similar? So is it me on the poster or not me? asks Minuette. โ No. This pony's name is Colgate. โ Applejack answers. โ Colgate? โ the blue unicorn didnโt understand. โ She works in this clinic. Minuette turned towards the dental clinic and became curious, what kind of pony is this that copies her appearance and cutie mark? She decided to go in there because of her curiosity. The Apples followed her. Lyra, Drops and Twinkleshine immediately followed. Lyra and Twinkleshine turned their attention to the advertising billboard. โ Wow! Is that Minuette on the poster? โ Lyra asked. โ No, Lyra. This is not Minuette. This pony's name is Colgate. She and Minuette look alike. โ Drops explained. Twinkleshine looked at the advertising poster and said: โ Hm. Basically a perfect copy. Almost like a twin sister. Only the toothbrush is too big. โ This is her weapon, Twinkleshine. โ Drops explained. โ Sheโs a dentist and always dreamed of becoming one. โ I wonder if that same Colgate is still there inside? โ Lyra asked. โ Don't know. Let's go and see. โ Drops suggested and they also went there.***
And the pony Colgate herself, together with her assistant crystal pony, who was also named Minuette, oddly enough, treated Discordโs teeth for caries. โ I warned you. I hope now you will no longer eat too much sweets? โ Colgate asked sternly, having finished brushing her teeth from caries. The upset Discord himself leaves with his head bowed in shame. โ Her didnโt even say thank you. โ Crystal was indignant, crossing his name off the list of clients. โ That was the last one, Miss Colgate. โ Well that's just wonderful. You can go home, but I have some work to do here for now. - said the blue unicorn. โ Okay. โ Minuette answers and leaves the dentistโs office, leaving the list of clients on the table along with the pen. While the crystal pony was galloping along the corridor, she suddenly saw the blue unicorn herself, who was walking along with the Apples. When she saw her, she mistakenly decided that it was Colgate herself. โ O! Miss Colgate, how did you get here so quickly? And even with these two? Are these new clients? Minuette, an ordinary unicorn, widened her eyes and was shocked that even that crystal pony confused her with some Colgate. Applejack walked up to her and whispered something in her ear. โ What, what?... No!... No, are you serious?... Come on!... โ the crystal pony said from what she heard, and then turned to the blue unicorn. โ Please forgive me! So what's your name, madam? Minuette stood silently for a long time and did not know what to answer. And yet, after a minute of silence, she answered her: โ Minuette. โ Really?... โ she smiled in surprise. โ What a coincidence! That's my name too. โ the crystal pony introduced herself, extending her hoof. โ Minuette. Minuette the unicorn was shocked to learn that that crystal pony had the same name as her. However, she also reached out her hoof and shook it for her. The two Minuettes were glad to meet each other. โ O! Do you know my boss Colgate? - asked the crystal Minuette, and Minuette the unicorn only pouted her lip out of thought and said: โ No. โ Would you like me to introduce you to her? โ Eh, Miss Minuette! โ Braeburn responded, and both ponies with that name simultaneously responded: โ Yes? โ Yes? โ I somehow treated myself like a crystal. โ Yes? - she responded, and the unicorn looked at her. โ Applejack and I would like to make an appointment with you tomorrow. You don't mind, do you? โ You can talk about this personally with Colgate herself. She is currently in her office. At this moment Lyra, Twinkleshine and Drops also arrived. Lyra intervened in the conversation: โ Can we come with you too? โ O! It seems we will have more work to do today. โ the crystal pony grinned and led six new clients into the office. โ Miss Colgate, I had barely left the clinic when new clients came to you and want to make an appointment for tomorrow. โ Fine. Letโs quickly fill out their forms and... โ Colgate immediately fell silent when she saw a pony exactly like herself, like two identical drops of water. Even that same unicorn widened her eyes when she saw her own copy. Same coat color, same height, same two mane colors, same mane and tail format, same hourglass cutie mark, same weight and hoof size. It feels like it's her twin sister. Although her parents always told her that she never had sisters or brothers. Especially cousins. โ Hello. โ Hello. โ Minuette the unicorn answers. She comes closer to Colgate and walks around her and examines it. โ You are me? And am I you? Are we twin sisters by any chance? Colgate was silent for a couple of minutes, thinking, and answered: โ No... If I had known that I had a sister, whom I didnโt know about before, I would have gone to look for her a long time ago. My mom and dad told me that I have no brothers and sisters. โ And mine too. โ Minuette answers. โ Then... Why are we so similar, like twins? Although we're not even twins. โ I suppose itโs just a coincidence that you two look so much alike. โ Drops answers. โ Most ponies in Equestria are of course different. However, in rare cases, it happens that a pony may be born somewhere in some family, which by coincidence will receive the same mark on its side, will look exactly the same and the same colors and shapes, which will make them look like twins, but Moreover, they are not actually twins, but simply similar. Remember Daring Do for example! She is very similar in appearance and skills to Rainbow Dej, but at the same time they differ from each other not only in names, but also in colors and marks. โ Thank you, Drops. You poured a ton of concrete into this plot hole. โ Lyra answers her, but she doesnโt understand. โ Which hole? โ Doesn't matter! Forget! โ So your name is Colgate? โ asks Minuette. โ Yes it's me. And what is your name? โ Minuette. โ Minuette? Just like my assistant?... Nice to meet you! โ she shook her copyโs hoof. โ Wait! โ the crystal pony intervened. โ I just didnโt understand one thing. Your name is Colgate, and her name is Minuette. At the same time, you are identical, like twins. My name is Minuette and her name is also Minuette. At the same time, she and I look different in appearance. She is an ordinary unicorn, and I am a crystal pony. Don't you think this confusion is between the three of us? Why did it happen like this? โ Any other guesses? โ asked Twinkleshine. โ There is nothing confusing here. โ Applejack explained. โ Itโs just that Minuette is a fairly popular and common name all over the world, but in Equestria it is very rare. Only you two are lucky that you were given such a name from birth. โ Thank you, Applejack. You were also able to explain this plot hole. โ Lyra answers. โ What about the plot? โ Drops asked her. โ Drops, stop breaking jokes and learn to break the fourth wall already? โ What to learn to break? โ Drops again didnโt understand, and Lyra hit herself in the forehead with her hoof. โ So what? Did you want to make an appointment with me tomorrow? Colgate asked, picking up the paper and pen. That's how two identical-looking ponies met each other. This is how Minuette realized who Colgate was and why she dreamed of becoming a dentist. Colgate herself was very glad to meet a pony who looked like her, but who did not want to be a dentist. After this story, they informed all of Canterlot and Ponyville about their meeting and asked them not to be confused with each other. And as for Princess Twilight. Minuette, Lyra and Twinkleshine still met with her, as they wanted, but a little later. Yes and then. This is a completely different story!
