Hmm? It’s day now, must have slept straight through the night! Seems longer. Anyway, I’ll go check on our quarry. Oh god, they’re all snuggled up together, all four of them! Celestia, both the Lunas and Applebloom, all wrapped in one massive blanket, help I’m allergic to cuteness…
Ahem, they appear to be getting up now. All stretching and yawning and brushing. Both of the past pony princesses are going off for their shower while the future follies are trying to figure out what to do next, they have to get back to the future and I see no flux capacitors anywhere. In fact, I’d go so far to say that for the time being, they are completely stuck, along with us, of course. The past problems are drying their hair using a magical monstrosity that can shout really loudly, at a frequency that nobody can hear, except for estate agents, sending air out at a whopping 50 MPH. Completely unnecessary, quite like this description of it.
We move on as they decide to go consult one of the most skilled magicians alive, Starswirl the stubbled as he is currently known. A unicorn who has recently acquired the position of Arch-Mage after his predecessor was retired, forcefully. And while the predecessor would have been much more entertaining, we are stuck with blandy mcbland, the Gordon Brown of Magic. It was quite lucky that he was already working on a spell that was all about time travel, a spell that could take you back in time, for five minutes, once.
Theoretically, it’s just a very simple matter to make it go forwards. You see, a little known fact about Unicorn magic, is that it spins. Not many know this and the knowledge was lost to the ages. All they had to do was switch the spell from clockwise to anticlockwise and make a good basis for them to continue working on removing the 5 minute limit. However, as seen with the spell that caused all this in the first place, things rarely go to plan with magic. It was due to this, that instead of taking anyone forward in time, all the spell did was make Starswirl turn from Starswirl the stubbled, a name that fits with alliteration, to Starswirl the bearded. Why a prominent mage should only be remembered by his facial hair, I do not know.
Well, with that deus ex machina method failed, they’ll have to find a new way to bring us all back home, oh and Applebloom started crying, fantastic. I’m going to go get something to eat, you just keep an eye on them.Hopefully, we’ll get through this without getting caught by them. That would be unfortunate.
