It was a sunny day in Ponyville when Twilight and Spike sat in the living room of their home, waiting for their friends to arrive so they can show them one of Twilight's new inventions. Twilight hopped off he couch and began pacing, unable to be patient. She trotted back and forth, glancing out of the window every now and again, hoping to see her friends in the distance.
About half an hour later, she finally saw them.
"They're here, Spike! It's finally time!"
"That's great, Twi." Twilight glared at Spike, his unenthusiastic tone of voice irking her. She quickly forgot about that and skipped to the door. She opened it just as Applejack was about to knock.
"Hey guys! Come on in!"
She trotted back inside, her friends quickly following. "I'm glad you could make it, this new spell that I've designed should be able to give the user the ability to bend time to their will." She continued to lead her friends through corridors and downstairs until they finally arrived in her laboratory. The air was cold and there was a strange smell in the air which nopony could identify. The place was a mess, papers and test tubes strewn across the room. Twilight walked over to the counter furthest away from her and picks up and chemical which was glowing green.
"Here it is. Once we ingest this we should gain the ability to control all of time. We'll become the best at what we like to do!"
Rainbow Dash smirked. "You mean we could stop and start time and all that kinda stuff? I call first dibs!"
Twilight hovers the potion closer to Rainbow Dash, she grabs it out of the air and gulps it down. "Well, did it work?"
Rainbow's eyes rolled back into her head and she fell to the ground. Everypony else gathered around her, trying to figure out what was wrong with her. A large green sphere grew out from Rainbow's body, bathing the other six friends in it's glow. Once it had enveloped them all, it began to recede; taking all of them with it until it was finally reduced to nothing. There was not a sound to be heard apart from the screams of the ponies echoing off of the walls of the laboratory. A small shadow which had been viewing the chaos from the door of the laboratory fled the scene; their appearance masked in shadow.
