Twilight and Spike put their stuff down at the castle's entrance. Fortunately, Twilight was completely relaxed again, as if the conversation had not taken place.
"Maybe I was more stressed about that speech than I thought." said Twilight.
"Yeah … That sounds better than Starlight Glimmer's coming back with an evil plot for revenge!"
Spike replied jokingly. They went together to the throne room.
"Well, if you say like that it sounds kind of silly." Twilight said, looking at Spike, who just stared at Flutter shy's throne,
"Or it's totally true!"
Spike exclaimed, startled. Because there she sat, Starlight Glimmer, who stared at the Duo with a nasty smile.
"Welcome home, Twilight!"
said Starlight ironically, and took out a scroll and before Twilight and Spike realized what was happening, she activated the mysterious scroll, which conjured the Cutie Map.
Twilight and Spike ran quickly to the map.
"What are you doing, Starlight?" said Twilight defiant. But Starlight just laughed.
"I’d tell you. But I don’t want to ruin the surprise!" Starlight crumpled the scroll and threw it away.
"Won’t be needing that anymore."
And with a evil laugh Starlight activated the spell and Twilight and Spike backed away as pink rings rose up from the map. Twilight shot a spell at it, but it had no effect, the mysterious spell began to stir up strong winds so that Spike would have been swept along if Twilight had not held him with her wing, and they watched Starlight open a portal as they have never seen before. A transparent semicircular ball with strange symbols and ticking sounds like a huge clock.
Starlight looked satisfied at her work. She did it. But she wasn't done yet. That was just the beginning of her plan.
Twilight and Spike watched in disbelief as Starlight began to levitate with her magic and flew through the portal. The portal closed behind her and the room became quiet, because nothing happened. Spike ran to the map.
"Where did she go?" He asked, but Twilight didn't understand it either, She wants to take revenge and just ran away?
"I don’t know, Spike. but i think we'll better find out!" Twilight replied
"I think we can start with this..." Twilight looked at Spike, who was already bending down to pick up the crumpled scroll.
"Spike, No! Don’t touch that!"
But Twilight's warning came too late and Spike touched the scroll and in a matter of seconds the portal reopened and the scroll was dragged in. And so were Spike, who was holding the scroll. And Twilight, who was trying to hold Spike.
Screaming, Twilight and Spike flew through the magical tunnel, clinging to the scroll. But the flight was short lived. In front of them they saw light and before you understood what was happening, the tunnel opened in front of them and they continued to fall but now they were in the sky and saw a runway directly below them. Twilight remembered that she now had wings and braked her case. But Spike kept falling unhindered on the runway. Fortunately, Twilight was able to stop his fall with her magic just before he hit the ground. But at Twilight's landing, the two did not even thought about it. They just looked around in disbelief.
Around them, they saw buildings made entirely of clouds and Pegasi were flying around everywhere, so it could be only one place in all of Equestria.
"Cloudsdale?" Spike asked as he continued to look around. "Starlight doesn't even have wings! Why should she come here?"
"I don’t know, Spike. But it looked like she could fly with just magic. Keep your eyes open, we don’t know what she has planed!"
Just as Twilight finished talking, a lightning-fast filly flew past them, who looked strangely familiar to the Duo.
"Isn't that Rainbow Dash?" Spike asked incredulously.
"Did Rainbow Dash look really young to you?" Twilight replied concerned. "And I didn't see a Cutie Mark..."
Spike took out a pair of binoculars and took a closer look at Rainbow Dash, but what he saw just surprised him even more. He saw little Rainbow Dash and little Fluttershy with two other fillies quarrel, which he recognized from an old story.
"We traveled back in time to when Rainbow Dash raced the bullies, who made fun of Fluttershy and performed her first Sonic Rain boom?"
Spike concluded in surprise, but Twilight grimaced, not because she believed that It was stupid, but because it did not make any sense to her.
"Spike, only Starswirl the Bearded could do something like that, and even his spell just went back a week! How could Starlight do more than the greatest Wizard in Equestria?!"
The rustle of a paper caught the attention of the Two. They looked at the floor and saw the scroll. Spike picked her up and after a quick look he showed it to Twilight
"With this!" Spike replied coldly, and Twilight recognized the scroll despite the changes.
She used it a while ago to tell herself in the past to not worry about the future.
"Starswirl's spell, Oh no!"
But Spike did not even think about the scroll anymore.
"Come on, let's go!" He said surprisingly carefree
"To where?" Twilight wondered. "To the race! I don’t want to miss the Rainboom."
But as careless as Spike was, he walked directly out of the runway and fell through the clouds, Twilight caught him with her magic, smilingly putting her clumsy assistant on her back and fly away.
Even when she felt it unnecessary, she was just as curious as Spike to see the unique event that led her and her friends indirectly together.
