It was a regular day in Equestria. As was in Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle was taking care of her royal duties, Pinkie Pie was working her shifts at Sugarcube Corner, Applejack was doing chores at the farm, Rarity was making dresses at the Carousel Boutique, Fluttershy was taking care of her animal friends, Rainbow Dash was being awesome Rainbow Dash, and Spike went of to help the Cutie Mark Crusaders with their antics. All was well. All was happy.
The Mane 6 were finishing up their jobs, and Spike was returning to Twilight's castle, no longer needed by the CMC. Spike came in, and just as Twilight was putting one of her books on its proper shelf, a loud, flesh-piercing sound was heard, accompanied with a bright white light that could be seen from Canterlot.
KABOOM!
A giant explosion rocked the land, blinding all the ponies, including the Mane 6.
Twilight dropped her book.
"What the hay?! What was that?!" Twilight said, suddenly startled. She blinked her eyes to readjust her no-longer blinding white surroundings.
"Ugh. My eyes!" Spike said.
"Come on, Spike. We have to go get our friends," Twilight said. She galloped off, Spike running behind.
Twilight galloped back down the hall and screeched to a halt.
"There!" Twilight said breathlessly after she put the dropped book back on its shelf. She galloped toward Spike's direction; he was already out the door.

Once the Mane 6 were gathered at Sweet Apple Acres, they talked of the strange happening in the house next to the barn.
"Oh my! What on earth do you think that was?" Rarity asked. She wasn't happy; the bright light and sound had made her snip the wrong way on her fabric that she was making a important dress with. And now she'd have to start all over! The horror!
"Ah don't know, but I say we go see what in tarnation made me spill a whole barrel of apples! Now almost all of 'em are bruised!" Applejack said, frustrated.
"I gotta agree with AJ on this one, it totally dissolved my cloud and I was woken up outta my nap with a face full of road!" Rainbow Dash recounted.
"No wonder my Pinkie Sense started to go all crazy all of a sudden!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "I was kinda expecting it, but not really. I was not really not expecting it!"
"It scared all of the animals," Fluttershy stated, "Oh poor things! They looked frightened to death! It took me several minutes to calm them down, but it's a good thing I did or the poor things would have been hiding forever."
"Well what are we waiting for?! Let's go solve a mystery!" Pinkie said, pulling a Sherlock Holmes outfit and a mustache out of nowhere.
"Come on, guys!" Twilight said, speed-trotting out of the barn after a happily bouncing Pinkie, her outfit still on.

As they approached the site of the explosion, which was just outside of Sweet Apple Acres, they heard arguing.
"Ugh! Look what you did, Kamikaze!"
"What are you talking about?! It was all Violet's fault!"
"My fault?! You really are a lost cause, aren't you?"
"Can we all just talk this over or something?"
"NO!!!" a few voices shouted in unison.
"Ah agree with, Ivy here; it's no use! How are we supposed to figure out where we are if we're just arguin'?"
"Aww, come on! It can't be that bad! We get to go on an adventure now!" a merry voice giggled happily.
"Can't be that BAD?!! For all we know, we could be thousands of miles from home!!! And saying it can't be that BAD!!!??"
"Seriously, dude, give her a break! She's just trying to be optimistic!"
The Mane 6 arrived at the scene.
There, standing in front of them, were ten fillies and colts, somewhere in there adolescent years, but definitely not grown up.
Twilight cleared her throat, catching the foals' attention.
"Ahem. Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle. These are my friends: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy!" Twilight said, pointing to each mare, "We heard a loud explosion and were blinded by a mysterious light tha-"
"Mysterioussssssss!" the detective version of Pinkie Pie said, somehow semi-floating. She slowly sunk back down, rubbing her hooves together and holding out the 'S' in 'mysterious'.
"Oh hey Mom!" the middle-aged filly with the merry voice said.
"Mom?" Twilight asked, confused.
"No, not you, silly! You're my Auntie Twilight!" she said.
"What do you mean, 'you're Auntie Twilight'?"
A whiteish-blue pegasus colt flew down and examined the Mane 6.
"You look different," he suddenly said.
"What do you mean 'we look different'?" Twilight inquired.
"I dunno. You just do," he responded.
"Like they're older?" the pink filly asked.
Another same-colored pegasus filly flew and landed beside her (possibly) brother, from the looks of it.
They looked at each other, then thought for a moment.
"Exactly!" they suddenly said at the same time after a minute of silence.
"What do y'all mean 'we look younger'?" Applejack asked.
"You ask too many questions," one of the pegasus siblings stated blandly.
"Flight! That wasn't very nice!" a filly with pink hair and dark, dark green streaks in it scolded.
"Oh I'm sorry, Mother. I'm a grounded?" the whiteish-blue colt named Flight said with a smirk.
"You do realize that our moms are standing mere hooves away from us, right?" an orange filly said.
His eyes suddenly widened.
"Shoot!" he said, trying to fly away as another, violet-colored alicorn used her magic to hold him back by his tail with a smirk.
It was then that Twilight noticed her wings. An alicorn.
Then another.
And another.
And another!
She gasped. Four alicorns?! How was that even possible?! She'd never seen them, or even heard about them!
"What is it, Twilight? Is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked, concerned.
"They're... they're... they're alicorns!" Twilight exclaimed.
Rarity gasped.
"Oh my! She's right! Those four over there!" Rarity said, pointing at the three fillies and one colt who have both wings and a horn.
Twilight quickly walked over went into full 'Twilight Sparkle the Scientist' mode.
"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. OH MY GOSH! I've never seen you before! Where are you from? Who are you? Were you born an alicorn? Are you the ones who caused the explosion?! If so are you even from around here? Do you know about the other alicorns in the world? What's your names? When were you born? Are you relate-"
Twilight was interrupted by a certain dirty orange hoof to the mouth.
"Ya done, sugarcube?" Applejack asked. After a few seconds, Twilight answered.
"Mm-hm," she said, taking the farmer's hoof out of her mouth. Jeez Celestia, she didn't think that was sanitary at all.
"Uh... Mom, are you okay?" the violet-colored filly said, dropping the pegasus colt to the ground.
"Yeah, you're acting weird," the male alicorn said.
"But I thought everyone was acting weird!" the happy earth pony of the young group said.
"Wait! Why did you just call me 'Mom'? Is this some kind of prank? Who are you kids?!" Twilight asked.
"Yeah... 'Cause you're our mom," a pinkish-purpleish alicorn said.
"No I'm not," Twilight said, "I don't have a spouse, let alone children!"
"What are you talking about? Are you feel alright?" the alicorn colt asked. Twilight was suddenly frightened.
For what scared her the most was...
He looked at her with true concern.
Twilight slowly opened her mouth.
"Do you know what year it is?" she asked with caution.
"Okay, now I know that something's wrong!" the whiteish-blue pegasus filly said.
"Yeah, it's 2036!" the pinkish-purpleish alicorn said with a face that said 'duh!'.
"Oh no," Twilight said frantically.
"What?" the filly asked.
"You're wrong."
"WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" she suddenly burst at the Element of Magic.
"You're wrong. It's 2015," Twilight Sparkle said.
The filly's eyes suddenly.
"Oh. My. Freaking. CELESTIA! The spell must've transferred us an entire two decades in the past!"
"We have to get you ten back to the castle and see what's up with you guys!" Twilight said.
"Are you kidding me?!" the pegasus colt named Flight said.
"WE HAVE TO GET BACK HOME!!!" the ten said in unison.
