	In time, Twilight's main timeline was completed.  Four chapters.  Transitions, title cards with better graphics.  New remastering for the DVD.  New wraparounds.  She was ready to release this DVD to the rest of the school, as well as digitally on the Internet in one grand anthology.  A labor of love had finally been completed.  The final clip was as followed:

"Well, today's Twilight Time, I hope, will be very sweet. This is because it's coming from our good friend,@hughly. He writes:



Dear Twilight,
My mom put strawberry jam on my toast today instead of grape jelly. What's the whole difference anyway? Did the jellyfish population slow down?



"To be honest with you," Twilight said, "We always had grape jelly in our house for unknown reasons, but it's actually quite simple. And no, jellyfish don't make jelly. See, jams and jellies are a kind of food called preserves. Often times, they are made from sugar, with fruits and/or fruit juices, along with a substance called pectin, which naturally occurs in plants and fruit."
"The big difference with them is that jams use both the juice and flesh of the fruit. Think of the strawberry jam you had today, or even blueberry, raspberry, or blackcurrant jams that you might also see. To activate the pectin, the fruit and sugars are cooked according to recipe; this often requires boiling until it starts to thicken. That's why they appear more opaque and come off as heartier than jellies; as a matter of fact, you might see jam referred to as preserves from time to time."
"Jellies, however, are more basic than jams in that they only use the juice. Think about how you have grape juice, apple juice, and cranberry juice that make your favorite jellies, which may then appear with your peanut butter. The pectin, though added more for lack of actual fruit flesh, is still very integral, as its crosslinking on a molecular level provides it the structure and rigidity it needs to make it into jelly, as it would in jam."
The record button for the camera came on at least one last time, albeit to record her ending.
"Well, it's been a real fun time compiling this amazing collection of fun and educational video clips for you, me, and my friends.  In my doing this show in this short amount of time, not only did I feel a sense of accomplishment and a sense of giving back, but I also found myself learning a thing or two about science in everyday life."
She continued as tears welled up in her eyes behind her glasses.
"When I started this, I started this as a simple project in media production.  I never thought that so many people would write to me about their questions about everyday life.  Some days, I would get as many as forty questions in one day as things happened: about the body, about household cleaning supplies, about math problems, and even stuff as remotely related as music from video games.  Personally, I love answering all your amazing questions.  Even though I am not at Crystal Prep anymore, and even though we may not have been the best of friends, I just want the other Shadowbolts out there that you are still people to me: Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, Sour Sweet, and Sunny Flare, I hate to admit it, but I miss you girls.  Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy, Rarity, thanks for being my friends.  All of you out there, too, thanks for all the questions and please keep them coming."

With her final clip, the file was saved for the twelfth and final time.  With all the settings verified, she then finally commanded the program to render her file in the popular MP4 format.  It took about an hour to render, but this third night finally had her eating dinner with Shining Armor, a simple Cobb salad colored with tomatoes, spinach, and lettuce and made even more delectable with turkey bacon and chopped egg whites.  As she inserted the DVD she had into her computer, she moved to command the program to render the whole video to the disc--chapters, captions, and all.  This process did not take as long, but there was still time needed to burn the disc itself.  
Her labors completed once and for all, she went from the stuffy and lesser-lit basement to her eggshell-colored bedroom which was outfitted with telescopes, microscopes, other college entrance exam preparation books, a small study table, and a radio off to the further wall.   Drained and exhausted from all the work she did over three nights following some even more rigorous homework, she collapsed on a cyan quilt upon her bed, catching a glimpse of a poster she had of Tabitha Rita Ulfman from the 3JB (3D Joy Boy) game, Palaciorida: Harmonious Dissolution, as her eyes closed. 

Canterlot High School woke up to The Best of Twilight Sparkle's Twilight Time.  It should be worth noting that everyone was able to identify with all the questions that came in.  Everyone between Crystal Prep and Canterlot High had all sorts of things to say, including new questions.  Even this one came in from @surprise2010 (Pinkie Pie), who asked a question for the show about why bubbles are always round:



I remember watching the jelly episode of Twilight Time!  I was watching it when my hand was in ice because I thought jelly came from jellyfish.  I also learned another important thing: peanut butter and jellyfish are painful and gross!



She even got her share of disputed hate mail, especially from Sugarcoat, who wrote:


Maybe you need to consider a career in being a loser.  Your brother watches Derby Racer and you still watch Pat-Rats.



To interesting mixed, yet positive reviews, Twilight Sparkle continued with her Twilight Time segments and was even commended by local day cares and hospitals for providing something for the children to watch when they were in need of educational material.  Gone was Twilight Sparkle the Loser, but now was Twilight Sparkle the Scientific and Fun!
