	Due to the effects of time dilation, Fluttershy came back to an Equestria where everypony she knew and loved was dead, save for Princesses Celestia and Luna. Eons ago, Queen Twilight Sparkle had left for the stars to seed new life upon barren planets, much as Celestia, Luna, and their fellow alicorn comrades had done themselves so many years ago. At one point on her interstellar journey, Twilight's spaceship fell into a wormhole, sending it across the universe and backwards in time billions of years. Unfortunately, this killed the rest of her crew. Dazed and saddened, she founded a barren planet in the Milky Way galaxy and began to craft her legacy. 

Meanwhile, back in the future, The senile royal sisters looked up from their game of "Go Pleurodon". They didn't even recognize Fluttershy at first, their minds long ago reduced to barren wastelands by the ravages of time. "Kiu diable vi kaj kiun lingvon vi parolas?" Celestia asked the stranger interupting their card game.

Fluttershy was shocked and overjoyed to hear native Equestrian language again. She quickly replied: "Saluton. Mia nomo estas Fluttershy, kaj cxu mi iam havas historion por rakonti!"

She had picked up a bit of an accent during her time on earth, but the princesses could still understand her easily. They listened patiently as Fluttershy explained who she was (former element bearer) and what she wanted (to go back home to her time). A sparkle, and perhaps a salty sheen appeared in Celestia's wizened eyes. "Ha jes, mi memoras vin, mia malnova amiko. Speco Fluttershy, ĝi estas tiel bona vidi vin denove. Sed ve, tiu ne estas via tempo. Diru al la aliaj mi amos kaj perdi ilin elkore. Adiaŭ."

Celestia and Luna touched the tips of their horns together and cast a temporal spell upon Fluttershy, launching her back to her own time. Fluttershy was so shocked by the casting that she left skid marks on the floor. But soon enough she was home.



"Twilight, you won't believe who I met. He was the most amazing creature. Let me tell you all about his planet and culture..."


The End
