“Come on Mystique, we need to go investigate this phenomenon!” Twilight was confused, so far she had only known about 2 other sonic rainbooms. Both were performed under incredible circumstances. What might have Rainbow Dash, performing a sonic rainboom? Spike perched onto Twilights back, and they galloped off towards the explosion. It was actually in the Everfree Forest. When they were galloping, Mystique started to feel a bit unnerved. Something about whatever was present at the sonic rainboom was not something they would like.
They kept galloping, and galloping, towards the rainbow overhead. Twilight had to stop. She and Mystique were out of breath. “Twilight, I don’t like the feeling of this,” sputtered Mystique. “Me either, but one of my friends, Rainbow Dash, is the only one who can fly so fast, she breaks the sound barrier. Why she would do it out here is my big question,” Twilight rasped.
“Let’s pick up the pace. I don’t like it here,” shuddered the cowering Spike.
“Spike, you’re almost as bad as Fluttershy sometimes,” spouted Twilight.
The two ponies and their dragon marched off. Spike was completely right to be scared. The Everfree Forest is not a place anypony should go. It was unnatural. Eventually they were lead to a clearing of ugly flying creatures, thousands of them, which looked like pigs mixed with bats. Rainbow Dash was circling in the air, fighting them, and several were on the ground appearing to be dead. Then Twilight noticed other ponies on the ground. It looked like all of her friends! Apple Jack was kicking rocks towards them, Fluttershy seemed to be injured, and was lying on the ground with a wincing face, Rarity was propelling anything she could force her magic upon, towards them, and Pinkie Pie was lobbing rocks at them. Then all of the sudden, Twilight noticed herself along with Rarity, using magic to fight the monsters. How in Equestria could there be 2 Twilights? One of the pig-bats, started after Twilight and Mystique. They both panicked and sent a surge of their own magic upon each other. And they disappeared.
Mystique gained consciousness, she looked around and saw it was night time, but she wasn’t at the place she had just been. She appeared to be at Twilights front door. The magic she used was quite powerful, but she didn’t know what she did, she just did it. She looked around, and saw Twilight, and Spike, unconscious. She moved over to their position, and started to push them around, unsure of what else to do. Twilight gasped and shot up, looking at her surroundings. “Oh thank Celestia that worked,” sighed Twilight. “How long were we out?” asked Twilight. I don’t know, and how did we end up back here?” she asked.
“Oh, I know a spell that can teleport us to anywhere I will.”
“Let’s wake up Spike and figure something out here.”
“I think it would be ok if we left him here to sleep.”
“Oh ok.” Twilight picked him up and opened the door. She suddenly felt as if she wasn’t alone. She looked upstairs and saw Spike and herself sleeping. She stood and blankly staring. ‘How am I seeing myself right now? Is this some sort of magic? What’s going on around here?’ She went back out to Mystique.
“Well if I were to put Spike to bed right now, he would wake the other Spike up…” stuttered Twilight
“Huh?” Mystique questioned.
“I can’t explain, go see for yourself.” Mystique walked in and walked back out with a very blank expression.
“How could this happen?” she demanded.
“I can only think of one thing right now, and that’s time shifting! Maybe you have the power to travel through time!” Twilight suspected.
“I don’t know how I did it, it just came to my mind. I think I may have shifted time! “
“Do you know which way in time you may have gone? To the past,or the future?” Twilight questioned.
“I don’t know, but maybe we could check your calendar or look for evidence in what day it might be.”
“Alright, I will look at my calendar, to see what day it is, you stay here and care for Spike.” Twilight tiptoed inside, and Mystique waited. She looked back at Spike and questioned how one thing could sleep through such circumstances. Twilight returned and was carrying saddle bags of her own, and some for Mystique. “As it turns out, we went to the past, but right now, we need to figure out what those pig-bat things were, so I packed us some things for the time out. We will drop off Spike at one of my friend’s houses on the way.” Twilight said.
“Come on, we’re going to drop him off at Fluttershy’s house on the way, it’s the closest to the Forest, and she is known for her love and care for animals.”
“Oh ok.” Mystique answered. They set off for Fluttershy’s house, not know what may be ahead of them. But the only thing that could come from this adventure was disaster.
