The story takes place in an alternate Equestria in which their time line is even more closely tied to the likes of Earth. That would place these events well before the elements of harmony and just prior to Word War II, circa 1937.

Please enjoy this simple tale, it is a one shot. The author does not own or wish to own an account on fimfic, so his brother is posting it here at his request by the collabist's group.

Twilight has always wondered what it was like to be in love. Madly in love. She might just get the answer she desires in the form of the Love Countdown; a spell that, for one hour, sets the caster in a state of hopeless infatuation towards the first pony she sees.

But what she didn't read, was that the Countdown isn't specific to just one pony...

Title inspired by the Fastway song of the same name, "Love Countdown."

Chrysalis' scheme has borne fruit. United by bribes and promises, the leaders of each nation have come with her to deliver an ultimatum: surrender Equestria, or face hopeless war with their combined armies.

So why does Celestia look to Chrysalis with a gentle, mourning gaze? And why is Chrysalis afraid?

Sooner or later, everyone finds their way to Roseluck's flower stall. And then they leave.
