Trixie has messed up bigtime! Can she and Twilight stop the apocalypse?
Trixie learns why Forbidden Spells at the Canterlot Library are forbidden. Things look grim and neither mare think they will be able to do anything about it before the deadline at sundown.
Perhaps they will discover one important thing.

Discord! I should have known. I wonder what bet he had with Celestia!

I may follow this up. We will see.... But thanks uncle.
Lolol. Sounds like something Discord might try, just to be a jerk. Cute April Fools story, thanks for posting it!

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, it isn't as polished as I would like, but there was a wording constraint.
The "April Fools" is specifically because It was submitted on April 1st.
Another idea was to continue to write their actions and then at the 1000 word limit, just stop. Showing, without words, that they didn't make the time limit.
As for the romance, i am a romance writer, I even have a published work (non MLP), so I like to throw it in. And apparently, Discord and perhaps Celestia knew about their feelings. They probably even had a wager.

Thanks, with the word count limit, I had to come into the story already in progress. I had considered to write the story as they were furiously working to fix it. They find a spell but at the 1000 word limit just stop. As if they were too late.
aww, if i were Trixie i would be in fear and tears, too! this is a frightening Twilight
aww, but that's just how Trixie talks!
i would think Starlight would have really set Trixie straight to not be messing with any time spells! those are the worst ones!
that is a good point! i certainly hope that Equestria isn't full of unicorns who have the power to end time if just given the right spell
aww, i always enjoy a good TwiXie, but i do wish it had been built up more through their chemistry before this point! letting out hidden romantic feelings right before the world ending is a great trope to end on
this does recontextualize the cryptic note from Celestia earlier, which seemed rather too even-keeled in the face of something that means the end the universe. but hey, that's canon Celestia for you!
and it's nice and refreshing to end with the mental image of Trixie and Twilight embracing each other while being relieved that the universe is not going to end after all. thank you for it!

It was a narrow bounds to write in, but it might be fun to retell it without wordcount limitations. Thanks for your kind words.
