The pristine halls of the Two Sisters Castle, a bastion for the current pony society who have to deal with all sorts of threats from their own borders and beyond. Their only advantage are the two rulers whom rule side by side. The castle itself is a lot less grand than its future cousin and a good deal darker too, due to the architect and decorators agreeing that a darker mood would fit the Everfree and make it blend in more in case of attack.

Princess Luna and Applebloom were currently approaching this capital, forgetting that she wa no longer the only Luna around. Due to this the guards immediately seized them on suspicion of being changelings. A great hustle and bustle then proceeded as the two current diarchs were brought from court and slumber to the dungeon where they were held. It was not long until heated words were shouted by Celestia, who back in the day had a much shorter temper, especially for changelings after a recent betrayal. Our should be future dwelling Luna begged for them to, at least, check.

Caving, Past Luna used a true vision spell, quite complicated but simple for an experienced caster. After it was discovered they were not, in fact, changelings, another hustle and bustle occurred where they were put in the opulent tea room. several seconds later sipping on a nice earl gray, Luna explained their story of sleepovers and mistake.

In shock, Past Luna could not respond. Celestia, however had begun to ponder possible solutions to the problem at hand, namely telling her future self about the situation and to lay off the cake.

To go on a tangent, dragonfire is immensely useful due to its uncanny ability to carry paper, a quite convenient object, anywhere in the world. Over the many years of rule, both of the princesses have learned to replicate the effects, after having frozen a dragons fire and, rather recklessly, eating it. Doing so granted them the same ability as well as a high tolerance for spicy food.

This may not be a tangent though, as it appears Celestia as come to a rather strange conclusion. They will send a message back to the future via dragons fire! It would require a good deal of concentration, however due to the fact that, well, no one had ever tried it before.

I think I’d better go get us some fire-proof suits...

…

Ah, they’re done writing out a letter, I see. Well now we just have to wait for them to send it. A quite spectacular explosion as befitting a travel through time. If any pony tried to survive that, well we’d be scraping them off the floor and putting their ashes in an urn.

Well, looks like they’re going to rest after a rather stressful day or night? Since it took place during their little play date and all. No matter, we should follow their lead, only so much snooping we can do.
