In one year's time, millions of ponies lose their free will.
They are forever encumbered by the copious amounts of food in their tummies.
Sentient cupcakes, muffins, and other baked goods now preside over Equestria.

Twilight Sparkle is chosen to travel back in time to discover the truth behind a group of individuals known only as the Twelve Ponies, and how they may be linked to the destruction of Equestria.

In case it wasn't obvious already, this story is based off of the 1995 sci-fi film 12 Monkeys. It will be more enjoyable if you're familiar with the movie. Unlike the movie, which is rated R, this story is for everyone. If it should be changed to Teen, please let me know so I can change it. The general storyline is the same, but most events are modified and some plot points are omitted completely.

This is my second fic. I thought of this concept after seeing the movie recently, and I couldn't resist writing it. Overall, this is meant to be comedic in nature. I'm not entirely sure if this type of story is accepted here, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm not sure whether or not this applies to the 'Crossover' category.
