Meanwhile, in the past, Pinkie watches her mother and father through a window with Maud standing beside them as they rock the twins. She smiles. A few minutes later, Pinkie hops back into her time machine and returns to the now messed up modern Equestria.
A half hour later, Pinkie returns to the modern day Equestria but everything around her is different. Trixie has become mayor and her friends are nowhere to be found. "What have I done?" she says as a tear falls from her eyes. "I messed up everypony else's lives just to see my past. I'm so selfish, such a fool. What have I done?" she cries as she walks down the street and to Sugar Cube Corner. At least, that is still around. When she walks inside, the store is empty, abandoned. "What happened to the Cakes?" She then finds a note on the counter that reads: 'left town because we saw Trixie as a threat to our children. Good luck running Sugar Cube Corner on your own.' Pinkie breaks back into tears. Her time excursion didn't just mess up the lives of her friends but her family as well and now she feels terrible. She goes upstairs to her room and sits on her bed and cries. "What have I done?" she cries. "What have I done? Now, how do I fix it? I don't even know."
Meanwhile in Canterlot, Twilight is studying under Celestia. As she does, she can't help but cry. She can't believe Pinkie would ever do this. She thought Pinkie was her friend. Clearly, she was wrong. All Pinkie cares about is herself. That's clear to her now. She picks up another book and gets to work on practicing spells. She sighs as she looks down and buries her nose in the book. Her life is changed forever and it's all Pinkie's fault. She can't help but feel betrayed by her own friend.
Meanwhile at Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie says to herself, "I'm sure Twilight hates my guts now and I don't blame her because I did go against her warnings. She was right, I never should have gone back in time. It's all my fault." More tears fall from her eyes. She wants her friends back, but alas, that's never going to happen all because she traveled back in time and now, everything is going to be this way forever.
