	''...Aaaaand, Lyra, you are accounted for. Might I suggest you talk to Taco Tuesday about your, um, fetish for humans. She may be able to help you reconcile with Bonbon. Huh.''

This ''Huh'' emanated from Twilight's vocal chords in response to the fact that ''Average Persony/Their Significant Other'' was the most recent ship Super had published. Actually, it was written by one of his friends apparently, but Super's condoning it was crime enough. But that was beside the point. Twilight Sparkle was done with the damn roll call. It had only taken WAY TOO LONG.

Elated, Twilight cleared her voice and activated The Royal Canterlock Voice. She didn't want to deafen her fellow shipping victims, so she set it on small caps mode: Fellow ponies and other creatures! I have at long last completed roll call and ascertained who is and isn't here! I can now connect this end of the portal, and our glorious meeting of minds may commense in determining what shall be done regarding this literary ruffian. And... um...  that is all.''

As soon as she had finished the the announcement (which was answered by frenzied applause from the remaining ponies), Twilight began sniffing the air around her. *Sniff sniff* ''Where is it? I know it's here somewhere.'' *Sniff Sniff, Snort!* ''Aha! Found it!''

Those now noticing Twilight's odd behavior watched in morbid fascination as she started snapping her teeth at the air. *Chomp! Bite!* ''Come on, grab!'' *SNAP!* ''Uhu, Gtt tt!'' Twilight mumbled through gritted teeth. She braced all four of her legs against the floor and pulled backwards hard, her jaw still clamped down on some invisible object. She struggled, strained, and flew backwards, prevailing over whatever force had opposed her. Springing from a singular point out of nowhere, pulled out of the ether and into existence, accompanied by sparks, gurgling noises, and a large amount of magical haze, was the other end of the portal.

Twilight let go of the expanding rip in space time and landed on her butt a celeste away. ''Yes, success!'' she declared. She then hopped into her creation, and dissappeared into the past.

Surrounded by the slowly dissipating arcane fog, no one had noticed when a shadowy figure climbed in ahead of her.




eleven minutes and thirty seconds ago...

Trixie hopped into the worm hole to the future and disappeared. Twilight began to ask the wheel how it was doing, when Twilight popped out of the wormhole. ''Oh cool, I'm back where I was!'' She looked around and locked eyes with the original Twilight. ''Oh my gosh, it's me!'' they shouted in unison. Suddenly, a second pony fell out of the vortex. Looking bedraggled and (emotionally) scarred, it was a third Twilight. ''Come with me if you want to live,'' she declared in a heavy Faustrian accent. Then she added ''Nah, just kidding. Just letting you guys from the past know that I hooked up the other side and the link is working now.'' She said this to the audience, but then realized that they were all silent. Too silent for this just to be a reaction to a second Twilight appearing. She slowly turned around, and saw two more Twilights, one more than she should have.

''Wait just a minute!'' Twilight declared. ''Why are there three of us now?'' However, before she could be answered, a fourth Twilight flew in a wobbly fashion through an open window and down onto the stage. All three other Twilights stared at her, mouths agape.

''Okay, kids. This is where it gets complicated.''
