    My name is Twilight Sparkle, and 350 years ago, Sweetie Belle and I vanished without a trace.

    Now here we are, in the future.

    Equestria has become a utopia, with everypony living in peace and harmony.

    Everything is perfect. All a pony could ever want, and more.

    My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I want to go home.

    Yup. Definitely a good story.

    Twilight drug her aching feet through. dragged maybe?

    Good chapter, I remember reading another where Sweetie Belle turned out to be a cyborg, but I don't remember what it was...well, anyways, when the part about the "clicker" came up, I thought of that. *sigh* memories... hope to see more of this later! :heart:

    Well, with a box full of sequels, common crossovers and "My Little (Somepony)s"/"(Somepony)'s (somepony)" knockoffs, I don't think anyone would mind some fresh content.

    Nice!

    I love it.

    Nice writing, and although it's 6000 words, it feels short.

    Can't find a grammatical error, which is refreshing.

    The future is plausible, which I like.

    The author's note and your humor also boost your rating.

    Most future fics would just have a lazer that would zap Sweetie back to health.

    You made a rational fix, which is good.

    Well, this is really something. A story with pacing at the speed of light but actually pulls it off, and pulls it off well? As the first fic I picked out from the featured box in quite some time, I can definitely say that I am not disappointed. On to the next chapter!

    Ah, fascinating chapter. Loved the idea of everypony having horns and wings through some sort of magic gem-things, and Twilight being Sweetie Belle's surrogate mother should definitely prove interesting as the story goes on. Definitely looking forward to more!

    This is awesome. One of the best I've read in a while. Can't wait until Twi meets Celestia...only Celstia isn't going to be Princess anymore, is she? Or maybe not remember Twi? I dunno...

    this is great.

    did you know that the part that your summary gets cut off right after the line "I want to go home." So if you want to see the credits? no that doesn't sound right.....hmmmmm:trixieshiftleft: meh i think you know what i mean

    I was reading this story and taking everything very seriously (I mean, a filly's life is at stake! :unsuresweetie:).

    Then I fell out of my chair laughing when I reached the author's note.

    This is kind of reminiscent of Millenium Wake. Hopefully that doesn't include the three-month-plus waits...

    Based on the description, I have seen this concept four times in this fandom. I have seen it literally dozens of times across books, movies, and television. I always read these stories, because it is one of the single, best setups I can imagine for a story. I'm going to read this right now, I'll let you know if it holds up.

    [edit] Yup. Yup indeed (thus far). Tracked.

    >>1864222 Because somebody else thumbed it up before you, so your thumb made it load that one. Seems like it'd be kinda obvious, but since this isn't the first comment like that on this fic alone.... *shrugs* I guess not :unsuresweetie:

    From the description alone, it seems very similar to two fanfics I've read: Lost Time and, as >>1864020 mentioned before, Millennium Wake. I just hope I will not be disappoint by blatant similarities. Will read later to hopefully be proven wrong.

    Originality. I love it.

    Even if it wasn't in the feature box, I'll still read it.

    Anyway, I've read both the prologue and chapter 1, and it's already good to me.

    You did well. In fact, you did so well that I'm going to write a special commendation for you in the "extra credit" section. Ooh, there's LOTS of room here!

    this might take a while

    Was the alternate title 'Tree Fiddy'?

    Fascinating story. It lacks the menace of other time-travel scenarios I've seen so far, but it doesn't sound like it stays that way. They're probably trapped; maybe advanced magics are illegal? That one pony seemed flabbergasted by Twi's teleport spam.

    Considering my father has exactly what Sweetie Bell has... and, as of last year, is now the proud owner of a new "ticker" himself, I could relate so incredibly well with this chapter. More so than alot of thigns that I read on this site.

    I'll definitely be tracking this.
