Spike uses one of Twilight's spells to go back 10 years and befriend a younger Rarity. The two grow to understand the value and meaning of friendship.

"Wait wait wait! Why am I in the long description as well!? What happened!? What happened when I pressed that button!? I can't tell because the story hasn't started yet! AAAAH! JUST START IT ALREADY!
Oh hey there's Twilight in it? Cool!"

"What is that line supposed to mean?
Hold on, let me check the groups. Ooooh, I see, it's for a contest. Woaw, I like that effect on text. I wish I could do that more when I talk. You know, like, you talk and people can click your words to know more about what you mean. You could even do that in the middle of conversation. That'd be great."

You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

Rarity can see it clearly.

The way Applejack laughs around Coloratura, the way she smiles. The way Coloratura hangs on Applejack's every word, the way her eyes light up whenever they glance at each other.

Friends since fillyhood, Applejack and Coloratura share a relationship deeper and more special than most ponies will ever know.

But Rarity and Applejack were fillyhood friends too. Shouldn't that be just as special?

Rarity has noticed that Applejack has an odd habit. Twi. Dash. Rares. Shy. Mac.

And now... Rara.

Which leads her to ask... what's up with that, anyway?

We are not owed anything. On a hill overlooking Ponyville, a small scene plays out.

2013

The Cutie Mark Crusaders test the urban legend of writing to Princess Celestia at 3am. Everything goes wrong.

May you find many wonderfully atrocious grammar errors, if there are any o.o.

Twilight wakes up one morning. And she can't stop rhyming. The same is true for all of her friends. They aren't too happy about it, either.

Let's face it, neither would you.

Twilight's run out of ideas for new inventions, so she invents something to fix that.

No one said the machine would produce good ideas.

Preread by the lovely csos95, Majin Syeekoh, Arkadios, and ChudoJogurt!
