A few more years forward in the time stream, Pinkie hops out of her time machine outside the small rock farm where her parents now live. She watches through the window as they rock an infant Maud that was just handed to them by a local doctor that must be a friend of theirs. Pinkie smiles as she watches her mother sing a lullaby to the infant Maud. Pinkie can't believe how cute her sister was as a foal! She can hardly believe her eyes and that, for once, she doesn't mind. She then goes into the little town several miles from the rock farm and buys something to eat. This event, her going to get food from the past, is about to mess up Equestria's future and she is completely clueless about it. All she wants is a snack and she figures, no way can a snack mess up the time stream as she knows it.

Crash! Thud! Everything around her begins to fall. She heads back to the time machine, jumps in, and returns to her time. She'll see the twins birth another day. Right now, everything is falling apart all around her. This is not how she planned it at all. She sighs. "Everything would've been fine if I had just listened to Twilight, then none of this would've happened." Indeed, she is right, if she hadn't gone into the past, none of what is happening now would've come to pass. 

A few hours later, Pinkie's time machine pops up in Twilight's library. Twilight stands there stunned. Once the shock is gone, she begins to yell at Pinkie and tell her all that she did wrong. Pinkie breaks out crying. "I know I did wrong!" replies Pinkie, "I should've never traveled back in time! Who knew me just buying a muffin in the past would mess up everything? I sure didn't! I had no idea! You were right, Twilight!" She continues to cry.

"Does this mean you're not going to try it again?" asks Twilight.

"Yes," replies Pinkie, half lying, half telling the truth. "At least, possibly. I still want to see the births of Marble and Limestone, but that can wait until another day."

"Or wait until, how about never," replies Twilight with a scowl. She then slaps her face. She's remembering it's Pinkie and that Pinkie can only screw up more from here if she doesn't heed the warnings Twilight herself is currently giving her.
