An alternative ending to the season 5 finale.

Starlight Glimmer destroys the time scroll that allows Twilight to return to Cloudsdale. With the sonic rainboom stopped, her plan has succeeded, and this time, Twilight can't come back to try and stop her again. She thinks it's over, but when Twilight pulls her into the present, Starlight finally sees what her actions have done.

It is a rare day when Princess Celestia gets to take on a personal student. Even having her own school named after her, being a princess makes finding time to be a young pony's mentor all but impossible.

But today will be different. Today, Celestia will get the chance to do something she hasn't done in a long time:

Teach Twilight magic.

Desert Mirage lives in a world full of guns, lasers, explosives and people competing to be the best of the best. There she excels at what she does: hunting. She started as a nobody, and yet became one of the most sought-after gunslingers.

Sunset Shimmer was practically born the best of the best. Selected by none other than Princess Celestia to be her prized student... until she ran away to another world in search of power. Through trials and suffering she was eventually taught humility and friendship.

At first blush, they don't have much in common. But their connection runs deep, and sooner or later it will change their worlds forever.

As Applejack's fillyhood friend, Countess Coloratura, is singing up on the stage, amid all of the flashing lights and music, Twilight Sparkle can't help but feel that there is something familiar about the mare.

Oh well, it's probably just her imagination. . . right?

Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, new transfer student at Canterlot high...and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm known pretty well here, I think, it's all very strange. Oh, wait, let me start again, my name is, no, you already know that, um....Well, basically, I'm here to learn about the magic of friendship.

I can't believe I just said that....

Long ago, lost to the mists of time, there was once an alicorn named Star Dust. He ruled alongside Celestia for many years after Luna's banishment, having domain over Science. Three hundred years ago, after the devastating failure of an experiment, he was cast out of Equestria, never to be heard from again...at least that's what Celestia thought. Armed with the knowledge of their sisterhood, Twilight, Trixie Lulamoon, Moon Dancer, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer and Tempest Shadow must brave the wilderness to find their father, and bring him home.

You know that thing, that funny little idea that the world is a multiverse, where all universes are connected via tendrils of time magic... thingies? Yeah, well, neither does Sheogorath. All he knows is that he grew bored of his time in the Shivering Isles yet again, and decides to go spread a little mischief in a plane of existence he spotted out his cheese room's window. Packing up his cane and beard, he hops in a taxi to said universe. What could go wrong?

"My name is Winding Roads, or 'Windy' as I rather be called. I work with my mother and brother in our family owned caravan business located out of Appleloosa. I have a good life; an exciting job, a little filly I am trying to raise right, and over my head is wide open skies."
"What more could a mare ask for?
...his name is 'Ranger'."

Main Theme

One year ago, Twilight and her friends were on the verge of creating a new type of magic. Unfortunately there was an accident, resulting in the disappearance of one of Twilight's closest friends. Though devastated, she moved forward, creating a means of powering machines with this new magic, which was now forever intertwined with the world.

It's been a year since Apple Bloom's sister vanished. Since then, she's been in a constant state of depression, unable to even enjoy time with her friends. She's all but given up on life itself, as she has lost all will to live. That changes when she finds a mysterious artifact which grants her power in the form of a blue suit of armor, and forms an unlikely alliance with Princess Luna. She'll need this power if she's to protect her world from a strange threat somehow connected to Twilight's experiment. If she's lucky, she might even discover what happened to her sister.

If she's unlucky, she'll lose everything else.

This takes place a year after the CMC get their Cutie Marks.
