This story is a sequel to Consequences – A Bad Apple Comedy of Justice
Theorising that a reformed spirit of chaos might travel back in time and mess with stuff, Discord has gotten Celestia's approval to go back and tweak some events so that while the overall result was the same, the individual ponies involved were better off. His test case is one Barbara Seed Cortland, and her visit to her cousins in Ponyville. The limitations are that he can only visit her dreams, and she will only have a vague memory of events when she wakes up. Can he do it? What will Princess Luna say? What is the statute of limitations on illegal time travel? Does anyone have some fourth wall repair plaster? All these questions and less may be answered if you read on.
