Eleven Egregious Uses for Time Travel: 8

The Cutie Mark Crusaders take the opportunity to go on an excursion to Ponyville's recent past, to learn about the history of the town and how it could shape their future. Scootaloo proceeds to put the visit to another – not exactly sanctioned – purpose.

Part of a loosely related series of vignettes & short stories involving somewhat-unusual uses a pony might find for time travel.

Several weeks after defeating the Pony of Shadows, Starswirl recieved a message from one he hasn't heard from in a long time. He took Twilight, his successor, and traveled to the city of Purrsepolis to meet Starswirls old friend. The Purrsian Emperor.

Trixie saw it first, and then so did Twilight: Starlight has a problem, and it all leads back to her childhood. Something inside still haunts her and keeps her from truly fitting in. But when Trixie arrives one morning to mooch a free breakfast and propose a silly plan, Twilight never expected it to send her beloved student running from the room in tears.

The only way to deal with this will be for Starlight to confront her childhood fears, but this time, she'll have Trixie by her side. Still, all the planning and checklists in the world can't prepare Twilight for where this will lead them. In the end, all of their lives will be changed.

Please note that as of season 8, new additions to the canon have shunted this story into alternate universe territory.

You remember Sunset Shimmer. She was a striking figure. Exceedingly intelligent yet weirdly unaware of the inner workings of society. Her vocabulary was just matched in size by her ego. But through all that overbearing attitude, you perceived that she needed help settling in this town, and so you provided it.

After prodding her on the right direction and Sunset enrolling in a good school, contact between you has been sparse. But one day, she calls to you, in a surprisingly humbled tone, and asks for help with something, something that her friends can't actually help her with. Curious, and moved by your own reasons, you make some time to meet up with her, and discuss the case.

Queen Chrysalis has been known to be a tyrannical and manipulative queen; brain washing her subjects to the dictionary definition of a mindless drone. Although, not all changelings are just drones. The hive wouldn't be able to function if they ALL were foaming at the mouth savages. Most changelings are born looking the exact same, but the few born with hair, special marks, etc. are used for more important roles. One of these changelings is Lead Bread, one of the hive's teachers.

Lead Bread was pushed into education the moment he was the age of duty due to his unusual intelligence; being assigned to educate the younger grub to become "invaluable subjects to the hive". The role of an educator was a joke. All he did was brainwash the young into being subservient and mindless drones. Knowing fully well he was responsible for the destruction of the potential each and every changeling held, he began to question Chrysalis's methods. Chrysalis does not like when her subjects -- especially ones of some power -- question her methods. But The Black Rose does...

The Black Rose Emissary is a story taking place before, through, and after the changeling invasion on Canterlot. As this is my first story and I will most likely not have an editor, definitely expect some grammatical errors .

Vinyl and Octavia may be total opposites but opposites attract when they like each other. There's one little problem, they are both oblivious to each others feelings for one another. They are afraid of what others might think. They want to be each other without realizing it but yet they don't want to. One day, Vinyl invites Octavia to a nightclub to ask her out. Octavia thinks that Vinyl might ask her out yet she thinks she won't. This is Octavia's first time but so far things go well until Vinyl introduces Octavia to one of friends. When a few misunderstandings occurred, they thought it was too late to tell the other "I love you.".

Matthew has a dilemma: either find a way home or find a way to save this world. Maybe a certain pony can help him. (Takes place the day after the movie. Prone to edits, so expect them. Also, please don't be too harsh this is my first attempt.)

On hearing the story of the Mirror Pool, Starlight Glimmer questions what happened to all the Pinkie clones sent back to the pool and the ethics of apparently eliminating sentient beings. Further investigation shows that the pool has the magical means to accommodate an unlimited number of orphaned souls. This is put to the test by an infinite set of Pinkie Pies.
