What the hay is going on?
Twilight sat down on the chair, staring into the blackness of infinity that was in reality her library. Her hooves rested on the cold table in front of her. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. This is what it feels like to be bored out of your mind.
But what to do, in a time of such boredom? Twilight sat and thought for a while. Sometimes it wasn't so easy to have a place to be. Spike always told her she had anxiety and everything she did to entertain herself was downright dumb. The thing was, she usually always had something to entertain herself. Princess Celestia usually had her doing something, or she was with one of her friends, or something like that.
Twilight still sat thinking. What was she going to do? She strutted over to one of her bookshelves and pulled out a stack. She plopped down and began to read. And read, and read. Spike occasionally walked by the room, staring at Twilight.
Minutes later, it happened. She dully noticed a book that was left un-straightened on her library shelf. Something clicked inside her. She quickly ran over to align the book back where it went. But then... she saw another un-straightened book! She rushed over to fix it.
"Hm. Done. Back to reading." She said to herself. Suddenly, the whole library around her began to glow in many spots as Twilight began to notice more uncorrected errors. She gasped. "Alright. Keep it cool, keep it cool. Back to reading!"
"Um, what are you doin'?" Spike asked, walking in the room.
"Oh, nothing, nothing." Twilight responded quickly. "Just- reading."
"Of course." Spike shrugged.
"I just finished the most fascinating book about." Twilight stopped, blinking to see Spike still standing before her.
"Well? What was it about?" Spike asked.
"Hm. Usually your long gone by then." Twilight deadpanned. "This is awkward."
Spike slowly left the room.
Twilight sped around the large room, fixing everything she never noticed before. After the books, she began to see even more things that were all wrong! The chair wasn't pushed in! The room wasn't dusted! She needed to work quickly. She went from nothing to do, to everything to do!
"No, no, no!" Twilight screamed. "I am not doing this!"
The world began to transform around her into a heaping mess of unorganized chaos! She flung off all the books on the shelves and quickly started organizing them using her method. She started cleaning the insides of all of the shelves, wiping all of the dirt and book dust.
Spike tapped her on the shoulder.
"Spike?! Can't you see I'm busy?" She shouted.
"Twilight." Spike said calmly. "You've been obsessively fixing the castle for too long. It's really hard to watch."
"Wha- It's only been like two minutes!?" Twilight said, looking for a clock.
Spike shrugged. "I thought you were going to practice spells for Celestia and Starlight."
"Hm. I could do that." Twilight used her magic to pull a book down to her eye level. She rapidly turned pages.
"Now let's see. I could do a quick run through the Advanced II section. That should warm me up." She looked through the book. But it wasn't the right one, she was reading a much more complicated spell book. She then curiously turn to a strange page.
"Time-Killing Spell." Twilight read. "I don't think this is the right book..."
She read on. "This spell is well beyond Advanced IV, so DO NOT ATTEMPT unless you are a professional, not recreational, magic user. This spell is illegal to use unless given permission to do so from a high magical pony, or princess." She finished. "Wow. Well I guess I'm a princess, so I could use this if I wanted to... just, what does it do?"
...This spell simply takes the fabric of time-space, and essentially "kills" it, or condenses it enough to switch through time-space realities, which forms a dimensional warp in the continuum. It is most useful in working with time travel, or time-traveling relics...
Twilight peered to where the spell's magical characters would be, but that part of the page was ripped. "What the-"
She closed the book and read the title. An Experienced Wizard's Book of Could-Be-Dangerous Spells
"How is this in my library?" Twilight wondered. "You must need to be a high noble to get it... I mean, I am a princess, but still... weird."
She pulled down another book titled Amazing Spells for Amazing Wizards: Moving to Advanced IV. "This will have to do." Twilight muttered to herself. She saw a bookmark sticking out of it. It led to a page about a life-lasting hair-growing spell.
"Oh yes!" Spike said to himself. "Twilight is going to be so happy!" He squealed, holding a sheet of paper in his hands with a spell on it. "This will help her so much when she's bored... and I won't have to do anything, or sit around watching her read books!" He smiled. "And... I she might be happy enough to buy me it!"
He ran down a flight of stairs and turned left down a large hallway, soon making another left into the library, where Twilight's horn was glowing brightly, then a beam shot straight out, heading right at Spike, slamming into him, lifting him up off the ground, his eyes glowing bright white, shooting out white laser beams in every direction.
"Oops!" Twilight said, shooting another beam of magic at Spike, putting him back to normal. Her head was fuzzy from that mind warp testing spell. She could barley hear Spike.
He landed on the floor, coughing. "I- Um- I wanted to show you this- *cough*- Spell that I found. I really think it will help you."
"Really?" Twilight cocked her head. She walked over to Spike, Spike handing her the spell page.
Twilight sightread the spell. "Hmm. this spell looks... it kind of- reminds me of something." She thought. "Hm. I feel like- Nah." Her eyes rolled over the page. "It has components of time-travel, though also some dangerous characters. What exactly is it supposed to do?" Twilight asked Spike. She just couldn't remember what this reminded her of. Maybe it was that mind warp spell she cast that was severing her ability to think.
"It's supposed to... Umm... It's a surprise!" Spike said. "I think it will help you with... Whatever problems you have when you're- bored." He said slowly.
"I don't know Spike, I don't have a good feeling about this. There's an itch in the back of my head that I can't seem to scratch." Twilight said. "I'm going to have to set it aside for further research. I don't want anything drastic happening."
"Hmph." Spike huffed. "I'm sure about this, Twilight! It will help you!"
"Sorry, Spike." Twilight said, turning to her book, casting a quick spell to clear her head. "Hm. That's better. Though I still can't remember where I saw that spell. I'm going to have to turn to another way out of boredom. "Hey... that's it! My emergency To-Do List!"
"I'll go get it..." Spike grumbled.
Twilight beamed.
Soon, he returned with a rather short list, in case of a boredom emergency.
"Let's see," Twilight said, lifting the list from Spike's hands with her magic. The first item on the list was for an appointment with the mayor about Winter Wrap-Up.
Twilight was so tired she could barely function. It was dark outside, and she stared down at her spell book. She turned to the next page. "Must... finish..."
Spike peered through the door of the dim library, watching Twilight turn to the page where he had planted the spell page. "She's gonna thank me for fixing this, that's all right." He smiled to himself. "Even if I caused the problem in the first place." He blushed. "But that Ogres and Oubliettes super starter kit is all mine. I just hope this works."
Subconsciously, Twilight read through the spell, her horn starting to emit light, then, her eyes shifted from tired, to completely focused. Her horn grew brighter, and brighter, bright as the sun, and she lifted into the air... a tiny white ball started to grow on her horn... that was the last Spike saw before his vision went white.
Twilight walked into Town Hall, approaching the clerk's desk.
"I'm here to see the Mayor, I had the 3:30 released time appointment." Twilight said briskly.
"Very Well. Go on up the east staircase and turn left. It's the door labeled 'Mayor'." The clerk said.
Twilight did as the pony asked and started to walk up the large flight of stairs. But as she was about half way up, she heard a shriek. Followed by a loud chipper voice that she would recognize anywhere.
"OH NO! MY BALLS!!!"
Then it sounded like it was the middle of a giant hailstorm. Uh oh.
"Run for your lives!" She heard Pinkie scream.
Then it happened. About a hundred bouncy balls came bounding down the stairs. Twilight ran down, tripping over one of the balls and knocking her muzzle on a step, ungracefully falling down the entire flight.
When she reached the bottom, she heard little sounds of bouncing balls for a few seconds, then everything went black.
"That was weird." Twilight blinked. She was lying in her bed. "There's no way that was a dream."
She got out of her bed and glanced at a clock.
"10:40?!" She screamed. "I have so much to do!" Then she remembered the day. "Saturday." She groaned. The one day she had spent all week trying to find something to do, after she had so cleverly packed Sunday full of day-to-day chores. The emergency To-Do list was an option, but that was only for absolute emergencies.
She began walking around the castle, looking for things to do. "Hm. Castle seems polished up. Nice work, Spike." She said to herself. "Hallways clean, walls, ceiling?" Twilight was surprised to see Spike had done a deep cleaning. It really seemed like Spike has been trying to please her a lot lately, probably because Twilight keeps saying "No" whenever Spike asks if he can get some new card set or something. Maybe he did deserve it.
Though, she did notice some areas did need cleaning, so she headed to get her cleaning supplies, soon reaching the large cleaning closet, seeing Spike in front of it.
"Oh! Hey Twilight! I was just getting more supplies so I can finish the west wing!" Spike smiled.
Well, it's not like they couldn't afford the set, and Spike did a heck of a lot of work. Twilight decided to let Spike have it. "You know what Spike, you can have the-" But Spike was gone.
Twilight sighed.
She shrugged and headed to the library, where she found her designated desk.
Twilight sat down on the chair, staring into the blackness of infinity that was in reality her library. Her hooves rested on the cold table in front of her. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. This is what it feels like to be bored out of your mind.
"Wait a second..." Twilight said. She glanced over to a bookshelf, seeing an unstraightned book. "Okay, this is trippy. Wait- if today is Saturday... then yesterday was-" She gasped. "What the hay?!"
"W-w-where am I?" Twilight opened her eyes. "What happened? I just had some sort of deja vu and-"
"Pinkie Pie's what happened." She heard Rainbow's voice, and imagined her rolling her eyes.
"Are you alright, sugarcube?" Applejack peered over Twilight.
Twilight sat up abruptly. "Something is going on!"
"What do mean?" Applejack asked, confused.
"She's still out of it." Rainbow said casually, walking away from Twilight, Applejack pulling her back.
Twilight looked around. She was in Ponyville Hospital. "Why am I doing here?" "I was just at my castle!"
"Erm, Pinkie Pie had an... incident." Applejack said slowly, turning around at the sound of Twilight hospital room door opening. Two ponies walked in. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
"Oooh... Is she okay?" Pinkie tried to hold in a laugh.
"Of course. She was just unconcious for some reason. She seemed to have been hit bluntly in the head four or five times." The nurse said, reading over some papers.
"Well... that's coincidental!" Pinkie said with a stupid grin on her face.
"I don't understand, what happened?" Twilight asked. "Where's Rarity?"
"Well, you see sugarcube, Pinkie Pie, for whatever reason, had to bring a large sack of- You know-" Applejack said awkwardly.
"No. I don't know." Twilight said blankly.
"You see Twilight, I was meeting with the Mayor for my usually Winter Wrap-Up meeting, but I was on such a tight schedule and it was on such short notice I didn't have to time to prepare so I had to leave the cake in the oven and I had to make Gummy watch the cake and take care of Gummy, and I just couldn't leave the balls there alone, even with Gummy, he's got his hands full with the cake and Gummy, so I had to bring my balls to the meeting, but then on the way out they kind of spilled and you were there at the bottom of the stairs and for some reasonsthey are really heavy and they kind of hurt a lot so they kind of sort of-"
"Knocked her out." Rainbow said dully.
Applejack looked confused. "Now hold on, did you say you made Gummy, take care of Gummy?"
"The point is that you're okay!" Pinkie smiled.
Twilight bleakly remembered being knocked out by bouncy balls. "Hm." She said. "So... I can go home now?"
"So... can I go home now?" Twilight repeated loudly.
"SSSSSHHH!!!" She heard Spike's voice.
"What, where are we?" Twilight said. "What's going on... a minute ago I was just in the hosp-"
"I said SSSHH!" Spike said.
Twilight realized that she and Spike seemed to be hiding behind a large rock in the middle of the Everfree Forest.
"I-"
"Sssh!"
"But-"
"Uh-oh... RUN!" Spike ran off behind Twilight
Twilight heard a familiar loud roar. She looked in front of the rock, to see an Ursa Minor charging toward her.
"Uh-oh." She whipped up a teleporting spell, meaning for it to teleport her and Spike away, but when the spell came out, it vanished into dust. "..." Twilight ran as fast as she could after Spike.
"We have to get to Pinkie Pie! And quick!" Spike screamed.
The Ursa was gaining on them, and Twilight had an idea. She refreshed her mind over and over, and thought one word. Teleport! "Erm... Change! Time change! Reality switch!" Twilight shouted.
"What are you doing?" Spike shouted back. "Run faster! It's only a few feet away from us-"
It's jaw opened wide, and Twilight was about to accept her fate.
"Ugh." Twilight said. "It worked! Where am I?" She was used to saying that.
"You were just about to finish your spells for the day." Spike said. "Say... do you, remember anything from earlier today?" He asked.
"No... actually, I don't remember anything. In fact, today has been really weird-"
"I'm sure you'll feel better after finishing those spells and getting a good night's rest. I've even got the spell book laid out for you." Spike pointed to a book. All she knew was that she was so tired. She started her work. It was all a blur.
It was dark outside. This reminded her of something. Like this already happened. Maybe she was daydreaming and she needed sleep.
Subconsciously, Twilight read through the spell, her horn starting to emit light, then, her eyes shifted from tired, to completely focused.
"So, to Town Hall, then?" Spike asked.
Twilight realized she was holding her emergency To-Do list. The first item was her meeting with the Mayor. "Hm. We're back in the now!"
"What do you mean?" Spike asked.
"Everything is normal?"
"I mean, I guess." Spike shrugged. "What are you talk-"
"I don't know. I keep flashing through different- Nevermind. But let's get to Town Hall!"
Spike and Twilight made their way out of the castle.
They started walking down the path that led back to Ponyville, and pretty soon, they found themselves not far away from Town Hall. It wasn't a long walk, and all the while, Twilight was just wishing she wouldn't- do whatever has been happening to her all day. Maybe she was time-traveling? Different times of the day were flashing right before her eyes.
"Alright," Twilight began, "I'll go in and see the mayor, and you go buy the quills I needed."
"Of course!" Spike smiled.
"Thanks Spike, your the best!" Twilight called after Spike.
"Ugh." Spike groaned as he walked away from Twilight. "Put it aside for research... I'll show her." He mumbled.
Twilight walked up to the front doors of the Town Hall. Then something clicked in her head. "Wait... I'm not back in the now." She remembered the hospital. "Oh. Well that's means- the balls-"
She had to keep time the same, so she walked inside, trying to avoid the worst.
"Uh oh..." Spike looked out the window of Twilight's hospital room.
Twilight found herself in her hospital bed. "What?" She shouted. "Seriously!?"
"Erm, are you sure you did that spell right, sugar?" Applejack laughed nervously.
"What's going on?" Twilight leapt out of her hospital bed and ran over to the window.
"Uh-" The nurse stared.
Twilight looked out the window. Storm clouds were gathering in the sky, and thunder was cracking down. "What did I do?" Twilight screamed.
Spike laughed nervously. "You don't remember what happened 2 minutes ago?"
"Spike, today has been really weird. I don't remember anything before-"
"Ssh! Listen!" Rainbow hissed. There was a loud banging coming from the roof of the hospital. "Lightning." Rainbow whispered.
"Uh-oh." Fluttershy whimpered.
"It looks like a lightning bolt is striking every .5 seconds!" Spike shouted. Twilight watched as a plethora of lightning bolts showered eternally from the swirling storm clouds above.
"Hm. I thought you were being sarcastic." Twilight shrugged.
"What are we going to do?" Fluttershy said worryingly.
"Let's get out of here and figure out what's going on. To my castle!" Twilight said.
"You're still going to have to fill out these forms, Twilight Sparkle!" The nurse called out as the five ponies and dragon ran out of the room. The nurse turned to the window. She shrugged, and headed back to her paperwork.
"Ok, so what exactly happened starting from this morning?" Twilight shouted to Spike and the ponies were running throughout the hospital.
"Well," Spike began. "You woke up this morning around 11 or so, and we left to Town Hall at 3."
"Of course, I got that." Twilight said.
"Then, you got smacked by bouncy balls, ended up here and-"
"And what?" Twilight asked.
Rainbow couldn't hold in a laugh. "He made you cast a-"
Spike glared at Rainbow, making her stop.
Soon, they reached the hospital doors.
"Hold on!" Twilight stopped everypony. "I have no idea what is going on!"
"Me neither!" Spike shouted nervously. He tried to change the subject. "So, how are we going to get to you're castle?"
"Simple." Twilight said. "Well, rather more advanced. My mass teleportation spell could work." She fired up her magic, and horn starting immensely growing in purple light.
"Wait!" Applejack stopped her. "The last time we tried this, we didn't get the best results. I say we find another way."
"Erm... Maybe you're right." Twilight shrugged. "I'll just teleport! You guys stay here!"
"Wait!" Rainbow yelled.
POOF!
Twilight found herself in her castle, in the middle of her giant library. "Hm. Alrighty, what to do?" She thought of her day. What could have happened? It must have been a spell. The spell Spike showed her in the morning. He must of found a way for her to cast it. Or something. She looked around the library for a minute, scanning the sections, and soon she found the right section. She slid her hoof across the spines of the books, reading each title. She came to an empty slot.
"Hm. This is where An Experienced Wizard's Book of Could-Be-Dangerous Spells is supposed to be. I distintly remember. Spike must've taken it." Then she remembered. "Or! I left it on my study desk!" She rushed to her designated desk and found the book. She flipped through it, finding the usual missing page on the time-killing spell. Then it clicked. She saw her advanced book with a strange looking bookmark coming out of it. The spell Spike showed her! She matched it up with the time-killing page.
"AHA!" She laughed. "The time-killing spell, of course! I must've-"
BOOM! CRACK!
Twilight quickly shut the page in her other advanced book, where Spike had left it. The lightning. She remembered what was going on, quickly casting a teleportation spell back to the hospital doors.
POOF!
When she got there, she found herself alone. "Where did they go?" Twilight looked around.
"Ugh." She thought she knew a way to reverse the spell. She just needed- then her eyes glanced out the doors, She saw everypony hiding under a tree, which was constantly being struck by lightning, and Fluttershy appeared to be doing abdominal thrusts on Spike.
Twilight facehoofed. "Well, here goes nothing." She powered her horn, and focused on Spike. She cast the spell and Spike soon teleported next to her. "Alright... one down..." She powered her horn...
"Good luck, Twilight."
"Oh!" Twilight looked around. "It's about time." She was in her own castle, in the open window room, and the pony talking was none other than Princess Celestia herself. Spike was also in the room.
"Trust? Erm... yea."
"She went out of it." Spike laughed.
"I see." Celestia's face fell. "Well, Twilight, in a nutshell, I have to leave for an urgent royal emergency, but all you need to do is cast that spell tonight, and everything will feel normal again.
Spike nodded. "And if you go out of it again, I'll help you." He said.
"Go out of it?" Twilight was confused.
"You know, you change and act like you have no clue where you are or what's happening?" Spike laughed.
"You will understand soon enough." Celestia said, as her horn glowed and a bright gold ball fused around her, she then disappeared abruptly.
"Alright." Twilight turned to Spike. "Let's cast that spell."
"We have to wait till' tonight." Spike replied. "Oh!" He looked outside. "There goes the acid rain."
"I-" Twilight started.
"I think we should settle for board games." Spike said. "I mean, you are bored."
"Not anymore." Twilight blinked. She kept wishing in her mind things would change back to normal.
Spike pulled out the chess board. They played. They played and played for an hour and a half straight.
Finally, Twilight moved her queen forward. "Checkmate." She smiled.
"OH COME ON!" Spike yelled. "HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING!!!" He flung the board off the table. "I was this close to activating my assault plan!"
After Spike moaned and groaned for a while, Twilight wondered if it was time to cast the spell, and she was ultimately surprised she hadn't have switch time periods by now. Maybe things were normal! Maybe she could cast the spell before she switched
"I say we cast the spell now." Twilight said. "well that killed time... metaphorically." She mumbled under her breath. She then followed after Spike.
"If we hurry, we can cast the spell before you're out of it again!" Spike shouted.
The two ran toward the library, and then Twilight started to feel woozy. "Uh-oh..." She said.
"What?" Spike turned. "Oh no..."
"Right on time-" Twilight peeped.
"It's Celestia!!!" Pinkie screamed, pointing into the sky. They must be outside.
Twilight glanced around. The swirling clouds in the sky remained, but it wasn't mass lightning. Nothing.
"Just in time!" Rainbow clapped. "Wait a second..."
Everypony gasped after Rainbow pointed to the sky. "HAIL!"
"Hail?" Rainbow looked up.
"Not just any hail..." Spike said, shaking. "DEATH HAIL!"
Hail the size of dodge balls began to rain from above. Twilight quickly cast a shield around everyone, the instant sound of ice breaking on it. Twilight tightened the spell. "Stay within the bubble!" She said. "It'll protect us!"
"Duh." Rainbow said.
Everypony turned back to the sky. Celestia's chariot was turning and tossing around the hail, until finally Celestia seemed to cast a shield as well.
Twilight tried to connect things together. They must've lettered Celestia about the problem. Then she realized something. "Wherever is Rarity in all this?" Twilight asked.
"Don't you remember? We already told you, she left this morning for a "fashion emergency" in Canterlot..." Spike answered slowly. "You seem out of it today." He said nervously.
"Of course I'm out of it!" Twilight yelled. "This is your fault, Spike! You made me cast that spell who knows when... and now-"
"I know." Spike said. "I'll admit it. I made you cast the spell so you wouldn't be bored. I meant it to help you! Then it made death lightning and death hail and it also explains why you're so out of it today. The spell must effect your past self before it's cast!"
"Indeed you're right, Spike. And it's a very dangerous spell."
Twilight whirled around to see that Celestia has made her way into Twilight's shield. "We'd better get to your library." She smiled.
POOOOF!!!!
"That was a loud poof." Pinkie smiled.
Everyone was standing in Twilight's open window room in her castle.
"Twilight, Spike sent me the spell he made you cast, as you know, and I know exactly what is happening." Celestia stated confidently.
"Then, what did happen? I want to know!" Twilight said.
"You see, the spell here that Spike made you cast, is called The Time-Killing Spell. He made you cast it in the hospital, if you don't remember. What it does it it takes the fabric of time-space and condenses it, replacing your essence with your other time-space counterparts. What you've probably been experiencing is flashes of the past and future of the last 12-hour counter period." Celestia explained.
Twilight nodded. "Yea, that's exactly what's happening. How can I fix it?"
"It says in the book itself. Simply cast the spell again after the 12-hour counter period casted." Celestia said. "So cast it tonight, in about two hours."
"Oh! It's as simple as that? Will do!" Twilight smiled.
"Hopefully you won't change counterpart by then."
I will. Twilight thought. I already have.
After a few minutes, Twilight told her friends to find something to do in the castle, it would be their storm shelter. She peered outside. The weather was still hail.
"Oh yes, and the dramatic weather is a side-effect of the time-space fabric being ripped apart." Celestia added. "Does that sum things up?"
"Erm, of course!" Twilight smiled. "I'm so glad I know what's happening!"
Any minute now.
"Oh come on!" Twilight threw her arms up. She was right inside the hospital once again, peering out the transparent doors, where her friends were taking shelter from the lightning under the tree. Spike was lying next to her, coughing. He sat up.
"Wow." Spike said. "I think I got struck by lightning."
"You think?" Twilight said as the teleported the remaining ponies that were hiding under the tree back into the hospital.
Twilight tried to calibrate where she was, and when. "Alright, so... Oh! We need to send a letter to Celestia!"
"Um... why?" Spike asked.
"We just ran out of my hospital room because I casted that spell right? I was there for the bouncy balls, right?" Twilight said.
"Right." Spike said.
"Spike, take a letter." Twilight smiled.
"Excuse me, I have a question." Rainbow raised her hoof in the air. "Isn't there a way to reverse the spell?"
"There is!" Twilight said. "But we have to letter Celestia."
So Twilight sent a letter to Celestia, concerning the spell. She had a plan to mend the continuum until she could cast the spell. Whatever was happening was strange, and she wasn't bored any longer. The first thing she thought of was Discord when all this started happening. One minute, she was in her castle, the next, in a hospital room.
She waited patiently, but knew she would get response almost immediately.
She soon got a letter back from Celestia. Things were going according to plan. She walked outside with everyone, in her magic shield. She knew what would happen next. But what happened next didn't go according to her plan. She thought she was doing everything right, and as Celestia's chariot came down from the sky.
"And... now!" Twilight said.
Were things normal?
She was lying in her hospital bed again. "What the?" Her friends were surrounding her.
"Yea, you can go home pretty soon, after you fill out the paperwork." Applejack said.
Spike was over talking to Rainbow Dash in the corner. "You think she's out of it enough?" Spike asked Rainbow.
"Probably." Rainbow said. "If your going to have her cast that spell, you better do it now."
"I know. If I can help her out a lot, I could get that card set!" Spike smiled.
"Really?" Rainbow laughed. "You're still on that?"
"Of course!" Spike said.
Spike finally came up to Twilight, holding the spell sheet. "Hey Twi, could you do this spell real quick."
But Twilight knew what was happening. This was when Spike made her cast the spell in the hospital, and when the lightning storm started and what caused this whole mess. This needed to be quick. She didn't want to be stuck in this never-ending continuum groove forever. She needed to cast the spell. If she didn't the entire continuum would burst into a million pieces. So without consent, she powered her horn. This time, she was ready for everything to be back to normal.
"Ohhh..." Twilight groaned.
"Did it work?" Spike asked, running to the dimly lit library. "Do you feel normal? Was Celestia right?"
"Yea, I think so." Twilight said, rubbing her head. "I just... I don't know. That was weird."
"So... can I have the super starter kit?" Spike asked.
Twilight stared at him, raising her eyebrow. "Really?"
Spike laughed. "Er- Can I?"
"Hold on a second..." Twilight said. "There was some other scene I experienced while the spell was cast."
"What?" Spike asked.
"We were hiding behind a rock... and there was an Ursa Minor chasing us."
"What are you talking about?" Spike looked confused too.
"Twilight!" Applejack ran into the room. "There's an emergency in the Everfree Forest! I know it's late, but if you're fixed, there's some wild beast loose!"
Twilight rolled her eyes. The boredom is definitely over.
