In a shocking turn of events, what should have been a calm week in Ponyville descends into mayhem when Twilight accidentally unearths the Old Ponyville Time Capsule. While Twilight tries to focus and rectify her mistake quietly, Trixie and Starlight investigate an old mystery from years prior. Meanwhile, the rest of the mane five undertake a secret project of their own.

Interesting! I approve. Looking forward to more.

I like it. Looking forward to more.

Anyways, those braces that she was rockin’ at the time definitely made it harder to develop.

Daww! I would have paid to see that.:ajsmug:

Braces Rarity sounds so cute!:rainbowkiss:

Starlight scanned the vintage record with hungry eyes. “Twilight, this an initial release edition of one of Marevana’s earliest albums! Do you have any idea how valuable this is?”

“Yeah, Marevana! One of the most influential rock bands in the modern age. Creators of songs like, ‘Spells Like Teen Spirit’, ‘Heart-Shaped Cutiemark’, and ‘Celestia Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam.’” Starlight stared at Twilight with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.

Figures that rocking Glimmer would know all about those metal bands.:trixieshiftright:

Twilight pondered Starlight’s sudden reluctance to exercise her magic. “You’re not still thinking about what Rainbow said the other day, are you?”

Relax Glim Glam. You're a beautiful mare, with beautiful magic and it should be shown off once in awhile.:pinkiesad2:

The few fragments of confetti found within the tank indicated quite a bit of fanfare.

Or a one mare party like Pinkie Pie.:pinkiehappy:

The page simply read, ‘Your Authors!,’ with colorful dashes that resembled confetti or fireworks. Underneath was a picture of a younger Rarity and Pinkie. The pair were obviously a bit smaller than they were now and their manes were shorter. They were at that stage where one was nearly as tall as a grown pony, but the legs were still a bit lanky and awkward. Rarity sported a pair of glasses similar to the ones that she often wore when working on her dresses. Her friendly smile gave Twilight a full view of the braces that Rainbow had referenced the other day. They were a standard set with blue brackets that complemented her eyes quite nicely.

When considering the accidental frazzled, shut-in aesthetic that Twilight showcased during her adolescence, she had to admit that Rarity still looked about as confident and fashionable as she was currently. But this wasn’t too surprising for anyone who even recognized Rarity, what was surprising was the presence of glasses on Pinkie’s face. They were almost stereotypical when considering the time period. They were big with rectangular frames that took up a chunk of her face and acted as a magnifying glass to amplify her blue eyes. It appeared that the glasses had undergone intense circumstances since the bridge was fastened and reinforced with a thick pair of duct tape. This particular look wasn’t new to Twilight, her being an alumna of Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns and all. But she didn’t expect to see it reappear here.

Daww! A collab between my favorite pony artists! And they sound so cute!:heart:

“Check out this great find. I can set up the projector real quick. Why not give it a little peak.”

Ah yes. Film reel Spike. Fanfiction needs more moments like this.:twilightsmile:

Dash’s hair was even shorter than its current state and it was wilder and shaggier than ever. She wore black lightning bolt earrings in her ears. And she seemed to have taken the time to circle her eyes with black eyeliner.

Now I need fan art of this, stat!:rainbowwild:

“What. No way. I just feel like going magicless for this one honors the spirit of the adventure. We just have to be a little bit craftier, and smarter, and work much, much harder.”

In fairness to Glimmy, the fun of doing a puzzle is actually doing it.:unsuresweetie:

Anyways, if Twilight helped us find the treasure, we’d probably have to give her a share.”

"I really need to keep her in the dark about any potential Alicorn destroying weapons we find. For... Reasons!":pinkiecrazy:

The tiger cleared his throat and spoke in a significantly less predatory tone than moments prior, “Now that we know that you are friends of Fluttershy. We have decided that we will not rip you apart and devour you.”

Huh I figured they'd make a cameo, but I wouldn't have pegged Fluttershy and Trinity as friends.:unsuresweetie:

The mares could only look on in disbelief as the goat continued, “We owe her one for helping us. Consider this a favor.”

Nice going Starlight Glimmer. You just cost Flutters her one favor. Are you proud of yourself?:twilightangry2:

“They weren’t just comic books, Rainbow Dash. They were manega, a form of Neighponese storytelling. And what I made… was very, very bad.”

Come on Flutters. How bad could it be?!:fluttershyouch:

“Trixie! How many times do I have to tell you that there is no shadow government pulling the strings from the background!”

Of course not! It's a bunch of Shadowy humans from the ninth dimension who pull your strings Starlight!:pinkiecrazy:

Nopony in the room seemed moved by Rainbow’s plea, she began to sweat as she scrambled for an explanation.

Well that doesn't sound like Rainbow Dash knows more than she's telling.:trixieshiftright:

Rainbow Dash is totally the pony who made those fireworks isn't she? That or someone close to her like Fire Fly.

I need you to name three, only three, ponies that best fit this description. Intelligent. Moderately wealthy. Access to chemicals. Secretive. Good at negotiating. Go.

Pinkie Pie.

“I know!” Pinkie squealed as she laid back on her bed. She kicked her hooves about in excitement.

Daww! Little Pinkie Pie is so cute!:rainbowkiss: I love it.:pinkiesad2:

There was also the unfortunate fact that her five other best friends were all culprits in a heinous crime.

Four best friends. Remove Applejack herself and Twilight Sparkle and you get four.

Look at me forgetting how to count:twilightblush: Nice catch, and thank you for letting me know!

It just goes deeper and deeper.

“Dark and shadowy. An ominous whisper in the alleyway. Their voice was…odd. Deep and raspy, I always assumed that it was a young colt or a mare doing an impression of a stallion. I considered Pony Accardo amicable, if not a little brash. Others claimed that they were harsh and straight forward.”

Rainbow Dash and Applejack is that you?!:pinkiegasp:

“And I thought Professor Dash was the cool one!”

Nah. Applejack is the cool one.

She's a former country singer, and friends with a ex pop star. She's a savior of charity concerts.

She fights monsters, runs her family farm, makes magic apple jam, and brews bear.

And now she's a double dealer of explosive ordinance, and potential surviver of a mob war.

She's a lock for the most interesting mare in the world.:ajsmug:

You hooligans may think that your teacher’s antics are ‘cool’ and ‘trendy,’ but you should think again!

Is Cozy Glow Cool?:trixieshiftright:

Come on Trixie, why you got to be like that?

You know our policies! I ain't running a country club over here.

Maybe you should.

Shut up Applesnack.

And you know what everycreature! No gang or mob or alleyway pony blew up the treehouse. I DID!

Note to self... Watch out for Fluttershy.

And to think everyone thought Pinkie Pie was the lunatic.:pinkiecrazy:

Time for the spectacle
Time for the show
The lights burns
And the colours glow

I'm not just anypony
I think you know
this thing is about to blow.

Ragging fire
Flair and flame
burn it all down
It's a spectacle.

Ragging fire
Flair and flame
burn it all down
It's a spectacle.

Give me more flair and flame
Wi-fu eyes
Big surprise
Lights, matches

Ohh

Ragging fire
Flair and flame
burn it all down
It's a spectacle

Give me applause
If you impress
Not just any pony
I am the arsonist.

Mayor Mare wiped her eyes. “Of course, Trixie. This grave misdeed has long gone unpunished. I have quite a few public work projects that need to be finished. Community service awaits in all of your futures.”

Because the real shadow governments are the ones that cover up for criminals, not the ones that hire them.
