Ruling all of Equestria for countless years without her friends was hard enough as is but losing Spike was almost too much for the Princess of Friendship to take so an old unlikely friend gives her the chance to go back in time and see her old friends again, but not without a few annoying additions

This will be interesting.

I wonder if she will like it?

Twilight starred at the three in shock and asked “One of you do me a favor and please slap me, I think I’m dreaming.”

Despite the weird request Lemon Hearts did as asked and slapped Twilight right in the face. Twilight yelped in pain and rubbed the sore spot on her cheek, she needed to check, it wasn’t a dream!

Never tell a friend to do that.

This was it, she was an alicorn much earlier than before, Princess Celesta would find out about it and Twilight would probably never go to ponyvill because that would be where nightmare moon would first strike and Celesta wouldn’t risk the safety of her own sister as an Alicorn plus the Elements of Harmony probably would’ve lead to another banishment to the moon or being petrified in Celesta’s mind, not that Twilight would’ve blamed her because sh would have to Celesta’s point of view be new to this power and not knew my own strength add the Elements in and it’s kinda unpredictable, that’s if you didn’t factor in the fact Twilight was from the future, in a split second she considered telling her friends everything, even about her being from the future, but she wasn’t as close to them, as much as she hated to admit it she honestly didn’t trust anypony or creature for that matter with the information stored inside her head yet so she decided to use a solution she learned from Starlight Glimmer, use magic to solve your problem, wale that shouldn’t be the solution to every problem, it would work here, first she cast an illusion spell on herself to hide her wings, after successfully obscuring them to make herself look like a normal Unicorn she then used a Memory eraser spell to make them forget she had wings a moment ago.

Oh boy. Something tells me she’s gonna regret that.

Twilight continued to re meet her old friend’s from long ago, she was able to use magic to stop herself from crying the tears of joy that were building up as she was introduced to the future element of Honesty, the Orange and blonde farm mare that Twilight once knew as Applejack, the meeting went about the same, except Twilight was the one who originally suggested staying for brunch rather than Apple Bloom’s weaponized cuteness, she really needed to remember to help set up the CMC’s sooner, the CMC’s for those who don’t know were once this legendary group, they were so legendary every creature has their own version of the CMC’s in her future, the goal of the CMC’s were to help others creatures find their purpose in life, even those without cutie marks, in fact the The day of Loyalty even has a whole event to decide which CMC team was best, but no creature was ever half as good as the original’s, but for now she would enjoy her food.

What spell stops you from crying?

You've got a solid premise, however, I'd suggest finding an editor to try and fix some of your more clunky sentences or incorrect word choices.

use magic to solve your problem, wale that shouldn’t be the solution to every problem

While

Twilight calmly stated “Yeah, you cleared the entire sky in *cheering now* 8.33 seconds! Which is even better!”

I don't entirely understand why some fics do this. You could extend this a little and describe twilight being unable to contain her excitement, resulting in her cheering the final part of the sentence. Just little tweaks and expansions to assist in really pulling in the reader.


Overall, I'm curious to see where this goes!
If you'd like a proof reader let me know, I'd be happy to help a fellow writer out

Please, I know I need a beta reader

I’m surprised no one is suspecting her. Also, is it me or are alicorns indestructible? Because, celestia took that blast like a G.

Alright this looks like it's Going to be Fun, i wonder if she can keep her wings hidden till Discord gets out of the Rock:unsuresweetie:

A little nightmare moon. Hopefully nobody will take Luna was nightmare moon grudges out on her.

It appears Nyx has returned, albeit differently. :derpyderp1:

The amount of willpower Twilight is using to contain herself is incredible.
There were critiques I had and stuff about what needed to be improved but I don’t trust my sleep deprived brain to accurately express what needs to be said at 5am.
I am enjoying this but there is room for improvement.

Dang, the last day of Spike’s funeral is the day of Twilight’s birth. Talk about ironic as well as a little sad

Interesting story. Added to my read list! :twilightsmile:

I think she deserved it. Considering she wanted to execute a baby over stuff that it had no control over. Plus the fact it might turn bad is not a good excuse.

A little too fast but okay. Can wait for the next chapter.
I'm very interested in how Twilight is going to do with Trixie, or when they all figure out that she is an alicorn.
I guess I must wait.

I’m curious on how many lies she’s gonna be able to stack before she slips up. She seems to be coming up with them on the fly and she doesn’t seem to be keeping track of them in any way, shape, or form.

A fine chapter

Twilight nodded then stated “Theirs a magical mirror in Cantorlot, one that opens a gateway to another dimension once every 30 moons, and if you go through that portal you get turned into a human and you can even find human counterparts of ponies you know, and maybe you’ll even see your human counterpart.”

Won’t this affect time?

Lyra stated “Okay you have a point their, but finally after all of that you get us to Ponyvill to meet your new friends, I still don’t know exactly how we ended up their.”

When did that happen?

Once the two were alone Twilight saluted Bon Bon and stated “Special Agent Sweetie Drops, how is your undercover mission to make sure nothing escapes Tardrus?”

How and when did she know?

Twilight whispered “Well, a bully never bullies just for the sake of being mean, maybe you should get to know Gilda better, I would recommend throwing a party for her, and you can bond over what you two have in common, you already know that you both are friends with Rainbow so that’s a start.”

That’s not 100% true, but I’ll go with it.

Twilight looked out the window happily, she knew that she possibly did change the timeline a lot, but befriending Gilda sooner she could spreed the message of friendship to the other Griffin’s much sooner and she honestly couldn’t see any potential way that could possibly backfire, and she’s never seen Gilda after that point until after Rainbow and Pinkie went on their friendship quest so their was nothing Twilight would have to worry about for a while and even if their were future consequences she would definitely have revealed herself to be an alicorn by then and be able to fix it.

Something tells me it’s going to backfire.

Personally I can't wait until sunset comes along and we get where Celestia went wrong.

a Good update tho i am not sure what to think about telling Lyra about the mirror

I'm wondering how long she can keep this up until discord shows up or until Celestia sends that spell to her.

Don't worry about the Zecora rhymes and Songs i Don't think many will hold it again you for jumping over that, That stuff is hard

Why is chapter four just called "Chapter 4"?

11056718
Because I couldn’t think of a good name for it, I asked if anyone could help me out but no one replied

Welp, the (alicorn) amulet is now out there for somepony else to find ...

The lies just keep stacking up.

Give the tickets to the riches they are the only ponies in town snooty enough for the party. Celestia was probably playing with all them by only giving two tickets and hoping that they would mess up the party because she can't just tell anyone that the party is boring.

11088972
This one right here gets it, I hope Twilight finds two really boring ponies to send to the gala, for then all Celestia's plan to ruin the event will fail, who knows she might even crack open Discord if it gets to boring:pinkiecrazy:

11089011
Personally I can't wait until discord gets loose that will be interesting.

11089045
he is going to jump on the train that Twilight got going and use it to joke about as much as he can its going to be a Trip

11089047
Who knows not much has changed in twilight life despite the new alicorn. And unless discord has contact with his alternate time-lines selves he might not change anything but twilight might try.

11089054
oh i am on about him playing games with her secret for Twilight does not want to show her wings yet, you know like making near misses on others finding out

11089091
I think if past discord figures it out he'll drop hints in riddle form just to give everyone a hard time. Of course if anyone besides twilight finds out before the right time then she going to have so much trouble.

Welcome to the world of the typo faster than Rainbow Dash, more ravenous than a flock of parasprites
a pure Wight Unicorn, [ White ]
a Cyan Pegasus with a Rainbow main [ mane ]
traumatized the pore filly [ poor ]
she had even barred this one [ buried ]
Discord continued “Now nationally because I am me [ naturally ]
Discord snapped his fingers and the Princess of Friendship disappeared, after witch [ which]

11089103
i Don't think she will be in trouble more her life will become a pain do to if Celestia finds out Twilight is a alicorn she will start throwing Princess work at her taking away time form her Friends, And if any of them findes out what Twilight is i think he will fix it himself for this i think he will find to fun to play with

11089157
That would be more trouble because you think they all won't want to know everything that happened to them over the years Plus this was a one of discord weird gifts so twilight could be happy and the princesses will probably try to retire as soon as possible which would be sooner if they find out. Plus how much pain they might give to discord messing with time.

11089163
True Discord might lose it if his gift was ruin, tho i think if the main 5 learn of what Twilight have been through and that Celestia just Drops the whole kingdom on Twilight they might just be pissed at Celestia, Like i do not ever want to know how much stress that is, I really just feel sorry for Twilight poor girl needs a big break

11089179
Plus what she did to their cutie marks by giving twilight that spell with no warning and knowing that it was likely that she would try to cast it never suspecting that her mentor would do anything deliberately hurtful because up to that point the worst was saving the day stuff although some of it shouldn't have been handled by twilight and friends. Aren't there any other ponies that she can call for help that doesn't need the elements.

11089198
worst part is that Celestia just takes Luna and leaves Twilight on her own sure Cadance and Flurry is around as well but they are both in the crystal empire and are needed there the time they get to talk is small, like i am a believer that being ageless is not a bad thing if you can spend your time as you wish but Twilight had none of that do to hear ruling the biggest kingdom in there world that does not leave alot of time to keep yourself happy, like if they had gone away for like 10 years to have some fun that would have been understandable but they just left a 100% retire

11089260
Yeah but twilight doesn't get Plus there is the question would she even have finished the spell if she had known what was coming. Spike would have had the dragons as well as the alicorns. I think the only reason why alicorns are in charge is because of the windgos and the three tribes which didn't work very well because despite being reminded each year don't hate on each other they went and did exactly that.

One thing to remember is that the tickets (and invite) is pretty much a form letter. Twilight, as Cel's student, has an option to write back for more (and did in the original timeline) as it's outside the Gala's usual machinery. Of course, she does have to think to use that option ,,, :facehoof:

To say it was an eventful week after Twilight had befriended Trixie would’ve been an understatement, first Applejack just couldn’t accept help of any kind during Applebuck Season and became overwhelmed to the point of collapsing, that stubbornness of hers couldn’t be changed no matter what she tired, next was Twilight and her friends supporting Rainbow Dash at the young flyers competition, figuring out how to encourage Rainbow without in dangering the life so doing the only logical thing she pretended to be in danger herself by “falling” out of the stands, the Wonderbolt’s tried to save her but Twilight was too “freaked out” and “accidentally” knocked them unconscious during the fall, which lead to Rainbow Dash to save all of them and being able to finally pull off her second ever Sonic Rainboom, seeing it again brought back some of her favorite memories.

What would have happened if she didn’t catch her?

Suddenly they heard something running towards them, it was Spike? What was he doing all the way out here? And he was carrying a letter and what looked like two golden tickets? But then as soon as she had that thought, it clicked, Celesta’s invitation to the Grand Galloping Gala. Oh no, please no, she could handle the letters, she could handle seeing her on occasion, she could even handle treating her like she didn’t despise her, she could not however do it for a full night, she would give herself one hour tops before she snapped, and even then she was being generous with herself, with the gala being a grand total of 3 hours long, Twilight didn’t stand a chance at not losing it, when Spike finally arrived and gave her the tickets Twilight did begrudgingly accept them, she honestly would’ve rather fought that dragon than except them, granted she would’ve easily won but that was besides the point, she wasn’t even listening to what Spike was saying when he read the letter out loud as Twilight was trying to figure out how to get rid of these tickets, passing them off to someone else was a big no no, she wouldn’t force these tickets upon her worst enemy let alone a friend, even if they all didn’t really know her very well she considered all of Ponyvill her friends.

Why not just avoid her?

Eventually all of Ponyvill found out that she had tickets to the gala and she was able to escape from that whole fiasco At her library the 5 that wanted the extra tickets cornered her inside of her library, each relentless in asking for the extra ticket and Twilight finally had enough as she used that one group freeze spell she knew to finally get them so stop fighting Twilight took a deep breath and stated “Now that I have your full undivided attention, I have something I want to say. *In the Cantorlot Royal voice* I DON’T EVEN WANT TO GO THE GALA!!! ” The yell was so loud that it woke up the nocturnal Princess Luna all the way in Cantorlot.

Won’t that be suspicious?

Great to see this still going, Cheers

This is a weird story. Twilight kind of bothers In this. Like when she's basically says in her mind that she's has like a million times more power than the princesses. I mean when she was older she probably was just as powerfull or a little more poweful the celestia and luna. Well there is only so much power a flesh and blood body can handle. "That was incorrect, that was only a single 100th of Twilight’s true magic strength, but Princess Celesta didn’t need to know that."
I don't why she is mad at celestia when she an alicorn and her friends are just normal ponies, so of course they are going do to die. So it's partly her fault for not realizing that sooner and here I thought she was smart. When celestia said that her friends will always be with her. Maybe she was talking about them being with her, in her heart. I mean Metaphoricly speaking.

I don't like how twilight hates celestia. Poor Celestia doesn't get enough love as it is. Her sister luna always the more popular one with people.

11193371

Twilight's hate for Celestia here comes down to Celestia and Luna just leaving her to rule the kingdom for hundreds of thousands years And never coming to talk to her, So after her friends die she was alone, while Celestia had pull Luna and herself to who knows where Dooming Twilight to solitude, and it got so bad for her she whent crazy but she ended up pulling herself together again, So she is not mad that her friends die she is mad that the one she saw as a mother figure Drop a Kingdom on her and just left and never came back, So she feels betrayed by Celestia

11193547
Plus never exactly asking her about being alicorn princess in charge of the kingdom forever. At that point she would have never said no to Celestia and I think Celestia knew this because she was always getting twilight to do something for her that was dangerous.

11193613
I don't think Twilight minds that much being a Timeless Alicorn it's more than she did not get ask if she wanted to be, Now if the Sisters had stay with Twilight and just take a small break form ruling i Don't think Twilight will have been anrgy at Celestia

11193625
Well it is a big job to do by yourself. And even when twilight had her friends they didn't have handled the day-to-day problems of the kingdom. They visited once a month to see her and talk about their lives and anything really big that could affect the kingdom. I have no clue what flurry heart is doing but she might be helping her mom with the crystal empire otherwise she could have help twilight out. And Celestia should have at least asked twilight before she led her into taking over.

11193631
Argee tho if Twilight plays her cards right it will not just be her new kid to be timeless this time around, i just hope Twilight atleast ask her Friends before doing anything like that for her Friends
