Who can I talk to about this? Who can I - “Beware the Sun”. Is that Celestia? No, surely not. If I wanted to warn myself about Celestia, surely I'd call her by name. Betrayed by someone close to me? Someone not somepony? And who mustn't I tell?
Twilight hovered uncertainly at the entrance to her castle. The idea of trying to think of her close friends as potential betrayers was... worrying. But somepony had clearly thought that message important enough to risk a time spell on, so she clearly had to take it seriou-
“HIIIIIIIIIIII Twilight!” cried a cheerful voice from right next to her.
Twilight jumped, turning quickly to face the voice. “Er, hi, Pinkie.”
“Wow, your eyebrows grew back quickly!” said Pinkie.
“Er, what?”
“Here's your banana!” said Pinkie, shoving the peeled fruit directly into Twilight's mouth.
“Hrrrrrmf?” asked Twilight, chewing as quickly as she could.
“Bananas are very good for you,” said Pinkie, nodding, and peeling a second one. “They're full of potassium!”
“Hrmf, hmf,” mumbled Twilight. She swallowed the rest of her banana. “Pinkie, what are you – hrmf!”
“No time!” said Pinkie. “Bananas first!”
“Mmmmf!” objected Twilight, chewing rapidly.
“You shouldn't've gotten rid of your flower, though,” said Pinkie, with a nod. She was already peeling a third banana. “I liked your flower. Did I ever show you my flower?”
“Hrmf?”
“Yeah, I've had it for years,” said Pinkie. She reached into her mane, and pulled out a clearly fake, plastic flower with a large bulge at the bottom of the stalk.
Twilight, still chewing, raised one eyebrow.
Pinkie pointed the flower at Twilight and squeezed the bulb, with the result that the flower sprayed water in Twilight's face.
“Hrrrrrrmf,” grumped Twilight. She swallowed. “Pinkie, if you -”
Pinkie promptly stuffed the third banana in Twilight's mouth.
“HMMMMMMF!” objected Twilight, frowning at Pinkie. She charged up her horn, and vanished with a *pop*.
Pinkie nodded, and trotted into the Friendship Castle, pulling another bunch of bananas out of her mane. “Hey, Spike!” she called out. “Do you want a banana?”
* * *
With a *pop*, Twilight appeared on the other side of Ponyville. And on top of everything else, Pinkie's being extra Pinkie today...
It was at this point that she spotted a familiar pony, just re-entering his clock and watch repair shop.
Of course! I can ask him! Surely he wouldn't've told me not to tell himself?
She quickly finished chewing and swallowed her last banana, and then trotted over to Time Turner's cottage and knocked on the door.
