Chapter 28


Later that day…

“Hopeless,” said Twilight, laying on a park bench, stroking her tail in a careful manner. “I can try whatever I want, but there’s no way I can get to these fireworks without my key. And now Nightmare Night is about to begin.”

Twilight tried to stand up, but immediately fell back into her self-pitying situation, now sobbing heavily. She didn’t notice Spike, dressed in his dragon costume like last year, walking up to her.

“There you are, Twilight. I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Hey, what’s wro—”

“I have failed,” interrupted Twilight, in a monotone voice. What came next was a shower of drama in the form of her recapping the entire event of the day to Spike, hoping he would find the mistake.

The purple dragon didn’t understand a word of Twilight’s exaggerated and overly-detailed explanation of the day, but he did understand how serious the situation was for her. “Well, I think there’s only one way to find a good ending to this story.”

Twilight sniffed, but looked at Spike with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. “Which would be?”

“Simple, use that time spell you used the other day, only this time to go back to the past. Start over, and learn from the mistakes you made so you won’t mess up this time.”

“Of course! Spike, you’re a gen– wait.” Twilight frowned. “I’m sure I can’t use that spell again.”

“But didn’t you hear me? You will be traveling back in time! That’s totally different.”

“I’m not sure it works like that…”

“Details, details.” Spike rolled his eyes. “I’m sure we can ignore the little laws of magic for this.”

“But…”

“Nightmare Night is going to be ruined.”

“NOTHING CAN MAKE TWILIGHT SPARKLE GIVE UP! NOTHING!”









Hop, hop! Back to the start, where you belong!


And please, don’t embarrass yourself this time.
