Chapter One: From The Past.

It was a quiet afternoon in Ponyville, where everypony was relaxing without a care in the world, all except for one lavender alicorn. Twilight was researching books about ice spells, crystallization, and some books on ember. Besides her was a chemistry set with different kind of potions and other magical liquids. Spike came down stairs with a bunch of books and sat them besides Twilight then finally and asked.

“Twilight what are you doing again?”

Twilight didn’t stop reading and just answered. “I’m trying to perfect my freeze spell potion that I failed to attempt to make when I was a filly.” Twilight then trotted to her chemistry set and began to mix potions. “Now can you please leave Spike, I need full concentration to perfect this potion.”

Spike did what Twilight asked and was about to leave till he asked. “Do you need anything? I’m going to the market.”

Twilight looked over her set and noticed that there was one ingredient that was missing. She turned to Spike and asked. “Yes, I missing the non-advance time formula potion for my freeze spell potion.” Twilight then levitated a picture of her missing ingredient to Spike. “This is what it looks like. So can you pick it up?”

Spike grabbed the picture and before he left the library he proudly answered. “You can count one your number one insistent.”

Spike left the library and headed off to the market to help Rarity to carry all of her newly bought supplies for her store and to get the potion that Twilight asked for.

*******************

Spike got to the market carrying the load of cloth and gems for her new dress that her client needs. Rarity was talking to a store manager about if he had any green rubies.

“Sorry Ms. Rarity, but we don’t have any green rubies.” The shop keeper said. “We do have a lot of yellow rubies though.” He opened a truck of yellow rubies.

“Oh that’s quite alright, I’ll see if any other store has them, but thanks for the offer.” Rarity then turned around and trotted away to another store to look for the gems that were needed. “Come along Spike we got a lot more shopping to do.”
Spike did want the beautiful white mares said and followed her. Then he remembered another reason why he came. He walked up to Rarity and asked.

“Ah Rarity I just remembered that I need to get Twilight a potion for her. Can we quickly get it for her?”

Rarity turned to Spike and answered. “Of course we can Spikey-Wikeyny anything for one of my best friends.” Rarity then went to a potion store and before she spoke to the shop keeper she asked Spike. “What kind of potion does she need?”

Spike was about to answer but he forgot what Twilight needed. Thought for a moment till he remembered what she needed. “She needs an advance time potion.” Spike didn't realize that Twilight actually asked for non-advance potion for her set.

Rarity turned back to the shop keeper and asked. “Alright do you have any advance time potions my good sure?” The shop keeper looked around for a bit till he picked up a potion and hoofted to her and said.

“Her you go Ms. Rarity, that’ll be 40 bits.”

“Oh really, well will you give me that potion for 10 bits instead?” Rarity asked while tossing her mane around and gave the shop keeper the romantic eyes. The shop keeper was hypnotized by her beauty and Spike was also in charmed by the mare that he had a crush on.

“Ummm Alright Ms. Rarity I can lower the price for 10 bits.”
Rarity levitated the potion out of the shop keeper’s hoof and replaced it with 10 bits. “Thank you good sure, we’ll be going now.” Rarity and Spike then went to other businesses to get the rest of Rarity’s supplies. The shop keeper just stared and said.

“Come again.”

*******************

Rarity and Spike were now going home till they saw Pickiepie acting strange again. They both looked at each other and then went to Pinkie Pie and Rarity asked her.

“Pinkie Pie what are you doing?”

Pinkie then turned towards Rarity and answered. “My Pinkie sense is acting up again.” Pinkie then went under a table looking upwards.

Spike jump up in shock then looked up in the sky and asked. “Nothing isn't going to fall will it.”

Pinkie got up and answered. “Of course not, when my tail shakes then something is going to fall.” Pinkie then got close to them. “My entire body is shaking.”

Rarity rolled her eyes and trotted up to Pinkie Pie. “What will happen this time, is Twilight going to believe in something else that would shock you?” Rarity said in a sarcastic tone.

“No, something really really really big is going to happen. I just don’t know what.” Pinkie Pie then ran away from the two and said. “I need to warn the others of my Pinkie sense.”

Pinkie was gone in a second; Spike and Rarity just looked at each other and then trotted to Twilight’s home.

*******************

Back at the library Twilight was still researching for her freeze spell. Twilight was flipping pages till she saw a bottle under one of the books, she picked it up and saw it was her missing time potion. She was relieved that she found it but then she remembered that she just send Spike to retrieve another one. She slapped her hoof to her face realizing that she just send Spike on a pointless errand for her.

“Well at least I’ll have a spare.”

Then Spike and Rarity came in with Spike holding the advance time potion in his claws. Spike smile and brought the potion to Twilight and said.

“Here you go Twilight.”

Twilight put her right hoof behind her head and said. “Sorry Spike but I actually found the time potion that I needed.” Twilight then levitated the potion out of Spike’s claws and read the label. “Besides I needed the non-advance time potion, this is an advance time potion.”

Spike’s smile disappeared to replace a look of failure. Twilight notice this and then comforted the baby dragon by saying. “It alright Spike, you still helped me to perfect my spell, and that want counts.”

The baby dragon smiled again hearing Twilight saying that he still did good. Rarity then trotted up to Twilight and asked.

“Darling what are you doing?”

Twilight was about to answer till the door opened again revealing mares, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie had told them about her pickie sense and that they needed to meet at Twilight’s place to figure out what is going to happen.

Pinkie Pie then went in front of Twilight grabbing her then shaking her while she said. “Twilight, my Pinkie sense is acting up!” Pinkie Pie then went to the windows and closed them. “My entire body is shaking again!”

“Pinkie Pie, you now that I believe in your Pinkie sense since the Hydra incident.” Twilight said being a little dizzy. “So I don’t think I am involved with your Pinkie sense.” Twilight went to levitating the time potion to pour it in her freeze spell potion. But because of her dizziness she accidentally levitated the advance time potion and poured it in her freeze spell potion instead.

“Come on Twilight, you know something bad always happens when Pinkie has her Pinkie sense.” Spike said in a nervous tone.

Twilight then began to pour a little drop of her last ingredient to finish her freeze spell potion. “Well whatever it is, it won’t break my concentration, just need to put this little drop in my freeze spell potion to be finished.” Twilight then noticed that her desk was a bit dusty. “I can’t work with all of this dust.”

Twilight then got a feather duster to get rid of the dust, but when she did Spike inhaled the dust making him sneeze fire. With the sudden burst of flames Twilight jump back dropping the last ingredient into the freeze spell potion. The freeze spell potion suddenly erupts into energy of blue light that envelop the six mares and dragon.

“Quick! Run for i-“

Twilight didn’t finish her sentence when the blue energy froze both her and her friends in a block of ice that could not melt till the spell wore off… in the next 280 years.
