The Cutie Mark Crusaders don't want to do their homework, so much so that they try to use time travel to avoid it. Key word here: "try."

Cover art by me.

Who is Cookie? There are plenty of comics I didn't read, though I'm wondering if you're talking about a character from one of the strips included that I just don't remember.
