//------------------------------// // Chapter 11 - Predictions and Prophesies // Story: A Wonderbolt Trip // by Rocky Boulder //------------------------------// *Starlight* "Aaarh!" I yawned when I woke up. I was clearly sleepy, so I didn't wake up on my own. Celestia didn't even raise the sun yet! It probably was the annoying buzzing in my head that did it. 'Wait... buzzing?' I jumped out of bed, lighting a illumination spell, before rushing to the library. When I arrived, I cast the library lights on, before starting to cast that spell. A portal in time, looking like an upside down cauldron flashed into existence, causing wind to start blowing in all directions. Soon enough a pony in a brown cloak came out of the portal. She was tall. not as tall as Cadance, but tall. Her purple horn was poking out from under her hood. "T-Twilight?" I stuttered. "Wha?" Said the pony in the cloak. She clearly was an aged mare. "Twilight Sparkle?" "I've lived a long life Missy, and nobody ever called me that!" She said with something of an accent resembling both Applejack's, and some noble's from Canterlot. "Sparkle, yes. Not Twilight'." Then she lifted her hood, revealing a face of an aged mare, her skin the color of purple. Her eyes were blue though. "Now, do ya know where Ah am now? I found a trace of Starswirl's Time spell, and pulled on it. And whoosh! Now A'm in a fancy crystal place!" "Ahhm.. You're a Sparkle right? My name is Starlight. Can I ask you something?" "Sure thing, Starlight! My name is Lilac! Lilac Sparkle! Now Wat'cha wanna ask?" "What is the year you left from from?" "Why, 25th year of tha' Eclipse reign!" She said proudly. I hummed in thought. So Twilight was in that time. It wasn't as bad as a million years from now, but it wasn't that good either. If I count correctly then... In Twilight's current time, there had passed... Holy! Five months! How was she doing? Did they found out she was an alicorn!? "So can ya tell me where, and when am I?" Lilac said, while looking around the library. "Uhh... a thousand and two years in the future?" I said sheepishly. "Holy guacamole! That far!! But still... is this a public library or something? Quite fancy for that. Haven't seen a crystal building since the Empire has disappeared." She said, while poking a wall with a hoof, causing a clear *cling*. "Well, ever since this town's library was exploded... well yes. This is a public library." 'Don't tell her too much, Starlight. I don't want to change the past, do I? "And by the way, have you seen a purple pegasus or unicorn with a dark purple mane? A pink stripe running through it too?" "Sorry deary, but I haven't. It does match the description of one of the flyers that are preparing for tha' Celebration!" She said swinging a hoof. "Does she have the name Twilight?" "Ah, yes. Twilight Crestle! Poor dear got stuck with a bad family name!" She chuckled. 'Twilight was always bad at giving names...' "So.. Yea now... can you now return to your time please?" "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This is a WONDERFUL opportunity to see the future of Equestria with my own eyes! I'm horrified that you would suggest such a thing!" A thought came to my mind. Such a brilliant idea, that I could brag about it to Trixie for a whole day, and shut her mouth as well. "Then promise me, that if you want to share it with anyone from your time, write what you learned here, in a book that you will call 'Predictions and Prophecies'. ===*=== Starlight facehoofed the moment she came into her room. 'That stubborn old mare! At least she agreed to my idea!' I sighed. 'While Spike can entertain her, I can break the news to Celestia. She'll be happy to hear it!' I thought as I went to the library. I sat at a table, taking a parchment and a quill, before lighting the Dragonfire candle.
