“Are you ready, Spike?”
“No, Twilight. Can we just stop this?”
On a cold, moonless night in Ponyville, a pony and a dragon continued to argue inside the library. Twilight’s room was a cacophony of papers, books, quills and ink splotches, which had been created from the unicorn’s week-long research. Despite Spike’s efforts, he could not dampen her determination to try this one spell.
“Oh come on, Spike. You know that nothing’s going to go haywire, right?”
He gave his warden a look of concern. “But you say that every time something goes wrong!”
Twilight could not resist a chuckle. He was probably right about that. “But this time, I triple checked the formula. And besides,” she said as she tapped the dragon’s skull. “You remember me doing this before. And nothing went wrong.”
“Except for maybe breaking inside the Star Swirl the Bearded wing and causing your past self to freak out for a week.”
The spell in discussion was a modified version of Star Swirl’s time spell. In theory, Twilight knew she couldn’t attempt this anymore, since she already cast it last time when she wanted to warn herself not to worry over nothing. But after a few alterations on the parameters, she removed the limit of how many times she could cast it. After a week of straining herself to break down the spell, it was the night she was going to try it out. When would she appear? That part she hadn’t really thought about.
“Spike, when do you think I should go? Maybe in the Pre-Equestrian era? Too risky. What about the time I became Princess Celestia’s personal student? That’ll just be asking for trouble…”
Spike hesitantly backed away to give the unicorn some space while thinking on when she would appear. His dragon sense constantly told him something would go wrong, but he knew that he could trust Twilight. Trying to shrug it away, Spike gave her a go signal.
Twilight smiled at him excitedly. “I got it, I’ll go back to the time when I met my friends! This will be great!” She patted his head reassuringly, not oblivious to her friend/brother/son’s worry. “Here’s the deal, Spike. If I’m gone for more than a day, you can give Princess Celestia a message. But if not, you must NOT tell her about this. Who knows what punishment she’ll give me for time traveling?” She gave him a cold stare, showing just how serious she was.
Spike sighed, knowing that this was it. No argument, not even Princess Celestia’s, would stop her.
The lavender pony couldn’t bear the excitement any longer. “Here it goes,” she said as she planted her four hooves firmly to the ground, knowing the amount of energy she would be dealing with. The placid background became so still that a dropped pin would’ve sounded like a sonic rainboom in their ears.
The room suddenly glowed in a bright shade of magenta as wisps of magic and electricity surrounded Twilight. A low hum filled the dreaded silence, energy beginning to build up all over her body. Around her, papers and books danced in a symphony of chaos as she glowed brighter and brighter. Twilight’s horn began to glow as bright as the sun, grunting every time she gave the spell more magic. The wisps of magic merged with the unicorn’s body, silencing everything for a split second. Spike could do nothing more than to shade his eyes from the light.
“Twi—” His shout was cut short by a blast of blinding purple magic shockwave that erupted from the unicorn, a noise which was heard by all of Ponyville.
---
Twilight groaned as the extremely annoying static noise in her ears wouldn’t stop. It was like somepony had crammed some Parasprites inside her skull, and they were multiplying every second. She was lying down on the ground, dirt now sticking at her once vibrant lilac coat. Her head felt like lead. She wanted to vomit, yet decided to hold her previous dinner from seeing the world. Her vision was blurred to the point that she could only see splotches of yellow and gray. The magical recoil from the last spell wasn’t this bad. Maybe I gave the spell too much magic? she reasoned to herself. As her body slowly started to recover, her mind began to spin its gears.
Okay, Twilight Sparkle, time to analyze the surroundings. The sun is just directly above me, which means that it’s somewhere around noon. Wait, is that smoke I’m smelling? Shaking her head, she cleared her muddled thoughts as she stood up. At first the unicorn thought she was still in a trance. It was true that too much magic makes you imagine things. But a too-realistic shriek from afar confirmed her fears that this was indeed very real.
She was standing outside a small village composed of several primitive huts she recognized from some of her history books. Though that fact was strange on its own, it was not what troubled Twilight’s mind. Instead of laughter and joy that were usually heard in Equestria, the air was filled with ghastly screams of ponies running away from the village for their dear lives. Most of them, she noticed, were earth ponies wearing sackcloth similar to those at the Hearth’s Warming play. Houses were burned, their smoke towering high above the heavens. Another cry in the distance removed Twilight from her stupor, deciding that the best action for now was to brave the dangers and save the poor village ponies from whatever had attacked them. Whatever it was, it must be something dangerous to cause this much destruction. As long as she didn’t attract too much attention, the timeline should be preserved from any more tampering she would be causing. Twilight set aside some spells in her mind, prepared for everything.
Well, almost everything.
She entered the town, ready to save it, when she ran into a small group of ponies. Seeing that this was the best place to start looking for answers, Twilight asked them the biggest question in her head. “Excuse me, what’s goi—”
A brown stallion as big as Big Macintosh quickly snapped his head to the direction of the voice and slightly backed away. Without saying a word, he went into a bucking stance and prepared to buck the life out of the purple pony. Twilight instinctively conjured a small barrier which shattered from the strength of the kick and sent her flying unto a stack of hay nearby. That move was so fast that she was not able to restrain him with magic. Twilight hastily stood up and faced the pony who attacked her for no reason at all.
“Go! I’ll take care of this one!” he commanded the rest of the group. As they ran without even looking back, his full attention quickly returned to Twilight. “Before you’re going for my family, you’re going through me.”
That sentence left Twilight dumbfounded. “What do you mean by that?”
The earth pony backed away some more, his stance still ready to spring into action. “You ungrateful unicorns are raiding this town again! We'll see how you like dealing with this the earth pony way.” Both unicorn and earth pony stared at each other, the tension between them rising. Though confused, Twilight would not let her guard down. The brown stallion unexpectedly jumped towards Twilight, intending to use his weight to pin her down. It was a useless attempt however, as an aura of magenta surrounded him in time, freezing him midair. You’re not doing any surprise attacks to me this time.
“Why are you stereotyping unicorns? And who is raiding this town?” Twilight’s tone became much more serious. This must all be one sick joke. What is wrong with this time? Ponies constantly bickering about races. Hold on, isn’t that…
The earth pony spat at her. “Are you an idiot or something? You know winter is coming soon, and so here you are taking more than what we give. Typical for snobs like you.”
Twilight didn’t need to answer that, for she knew it would be pathetic. His skull was as thick as Applejack’s, maybe even thicker. If my observations are true… no, I can’t assume that I am indeed at that particular time. I flawlessly performed the spell without fail. This may be a region far from Equestria, for all I know.
Her train of thought abruptly ended as a high filly-like scream pierced through the collective noise of terror. Thinking that she was done with this pony, she roughly landed him on the ground and shouted, “Go, follow your family! I’ll help whoever that was.” After a stone-cold stare from Twilight that would have scared a dragon, the earth pony ran away from her. Even he knew that this mage was not somepony to be trifled with. All he could do now was silently thank her for sparing his life, after all that he did.
She didn’t even spare him a look as she went straight for the source of the voice.
---
There! Twilight thought as she spotted a hut being surrounded by a group of unicorns wearing armor. She could detect harsh words being thrown and a faint cry inside. That gave her extra energy to sprint faster than her body could allow. I would’ve finished the Running of the Leaves in seconds at this speed, she silently commented to herself.
In the middle of the commotion were two small unicorn fillies. One was standing bravely, levitating a stick. Her white coat and pink mane were horribly stained with brown and red. Her magenta eyes were filled with anger and determination, ready to inflict pain on whoever went too close. The smaller filly cowered behind her, with a dark blue coat and light blue mane that were as frazzled as her sister. Clinging tightly to the older filly’s legs, she wished over and over again that somepony would just appear and take them away from here. The white-coated filly waved her stick in the air, challenging the unicorns. “You’re not hurting my sister, you monsters!” she cried out.
The group laughed at her vain efforts, like this was all some kind of a comedy act. The biggest unicorn stood among the crowd, his patience nearly breaking up. “If you will stop this foalish attempt, I won’t hurt you.” His grey coat and yellow trimmed mane were as pristine as he first arrived in this town, unlike the others who had a hard time battling the earth ponies that stood their ground. He had this frown at his face, ready to burst into anger anytime. That fact did not wipe out her courage for defending her younger sister.
“You won’t do that. You always hurt us. Die in Tartarus, you worthless jerk!”
She quickly regretted saying that as the grey unicorn charged his horn with yellow magic and pointed it at the two. When a yellow beam of magic blasted out from it, the filly closed her eyes and prepared herself to block the shot with her own body. Surprisingly, she felt nothing hitting her. She gradually opened her eyes, and stared at the unexpected scene with disbelief.
The yellow beam evaporated upon collision with a purple bubble that had somehow surrounded both her and her sister. After a flash of blinding light, a purple pony stood between them and the unicorns, facing the group with anger. The crowd broke into murmurs, until the leader silenced them all.
“Get out of the way, rogue unicorn. Don’t you know who I am?” The unicorn dramatically placed a hoof in his chest. “I am High Knight Sir Aura Gleam, head of the Knights of Unicornia. Step aside or follow their demise.” He pointed at the two scared fillies. Twilight did not move an inch at his words. She had a steel resolve to defend the fillies. Their acts to torment these two were immoral, and she could not leave them alone here to suffer more of their stupidity. “No, they should not be treated this way. Leave these two in peace, or you’ll get a live demonstration of my magic.” Twilight knew this was an empty threat, however. She couldn’t take all of these unicorns on her own, they were just too many for her to handle. This called for her special signature magic spell, the one spell that had fooled Nightmare Moon in all her glory.
“Everypony, fire at will!” Aura barked without hesitation. Twilight grunted as she hurriedly forced as much magic as she can into her horn and swiftly teleported herself along with the two fillies. The lingering sparks of magic that remained left the group dumbfounded, still trying to comprehend what just happened. The High Knight angrily stomped his hooves at the ground and screamed at the top of his lungs. “All of you, scour the whole village, find those two brats and teach them a lesson!” He snorted, thinking again about the purple mage. Nopony would dare humiliate him in front of his troops. “And if you find that rogue unicorn, bring her to me alive!”
---
The trio appeared in a forest just outside the village. Twilight rubbed her head, soothing it from the pain caused by long ranged teleportation. She always hated to do it suddenly, and now she just pushed her limits to teleport as far as her magic can take them. These recoils just keep getting more and more annoying every time.
After moments of contemplation, she looked at the fillies she just saved. The white one was still waving that stick of hers like a sword. The younger filly actually seemed happy at what just happened. She poked her older sister to grab her attention. “I think my wishing worked, sis. Somepony did appear and took us away from them.” She looked at Twilight and smiled with enthusiasm. “Did you hear my wish, miss unicorn?”
Twilight smiled back as she continued to analyze the events that just transpired. “I dunno, maybe? Anyway, where are we?”
The white filly refused to drop her guard. “I think we’re in the Trote forest, which is just at the outskirts of Trote.”
Then everything clicked inside Twilight’s mind. The stereotyping ponies and the unicorn raid, stuff she remembered on a certain play. Aura Gleam and Trote, names she read on a very old history book. All of those facts supported her theory on when did she truly appear.
I overshot the spell, and now I’m in the Pre-Equestrian period. What’s more, with the distance of my time travel, I should’ve been brought back to my own time by the time I arrived. Why am I still here?
“Um, miss unicorn, are you okay?” the blue filly asked with worry, although it failed to register in her jumbled thoughts. Don’t worry Twilight, you can fix this. Just check the spell… which I left at the future. Then recreate the spell! It’ll take time, but it is still possible. Just don’t mess up the timeline, and things will be fine.
“Miss unicorn?” the filly repeated. Twilight look at both of them, and realized her mistake. Saving these two fillies just messed up the timeline. Was it even worth it? Why don’t they have cutie marks at their age? They’re still fillies, of course.
“Miss?” Twilight shook her head, trying to straighten out her thoughts. These fillies need my help now.
“Sorry there, I just zoned out for a while. If I can ask, why were those unicorns pursuing you?”
The white filly snorted from that question. “We escaped from Unicornia, since we were treated like rags there,” she exclaimed with anger, saying the word ‘rags’ like it was something she loathed her whole life. “We decided to travel to the Earth Villages. Wherever we go—” she released her hold of the stick, her mind now consumed with emotions “—everypony always forces us to work! All those just because we have magic, and I…” Her eyes were now sheathed in tears, with all those painful memories resurfacing. She sniffed and tried to hold back from crying. “I couldn’t protect my sister from them! And now you’re going to drag us back to Unicornia, to those greedy jerks. Please… leave my sister. Take me instead!” She finally gave up resisting and cried her heart out to the ground, her sister trying her best to comfort her with a hug.
The sight tugged Twilight’s heart. So these two were unloved and abused by everypony they knew. That’s… horrible. She stepped nearer to the poor fillies and wrapped them both with a tight hug. When the older sibling looked at the unicorn’s face, she was greeted by a warm smile which calmed her heart. Inside her very core, she longed for that kind of smile to be given to her. And now all she wanted to do was to bask from its radiance.
“Don’t worry. I won’t force you to do anything,” Twilight said with love. Then a brilliant idea occurred to her. It was silly, in a sense, but maybe they can use it in the future. And this won’t do any major changes in history. “If you want, I can teach you what I know about magic, so that you can defend yourself when the time comes.”
The fillies gasped at Twilight’s idea. They both looked at her with mirth in their eyes. “Really?” Then the white filly’s ears dropped. “But we don’t have anything to pay you with.”
Twilight chuckled at that. “You don’t need to pay me. It’ll be enough for me to know that you’re both safe.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you…” they both repeated as they buried their muzzles into Twilight’s chest. Twilight hugged them closer, like a mother protecting her child from the dangers of the world. I need time to recreate a counter spell, so I can pass some time teaching them.
Releasing them both from the hug, she was happy that their faces now showed a big smile, excited at the prospect of somepony teaching them for free. It was very rare for a unicorn to teach without expecting payment. Back at Unicornia, nopony cared to teach them about simple levitation, since they did not have anything to give. Never in their dreams have they expected this.
“Oh yeah, we forgot about the introductions. What are your names?” Twilight asked as she looked at them curiously.
The older filly chortled. “My name’s Celeste, and—” The younger filly quickly interrupted her sister. “I’m Selene!” Somehow, those names rang a bell in Twilight’s mind. Choosing to ignore it, she replied, “And I’m Twilight Sparkle.”
Celeste looked at Twilight with thrill. “So, Twilight, does this mean that we can go with you? We don’t really want to go back at the villages anyway.”
How do I support these two when I don’t have anything myself!? Oh well, I’ll think of a way. “Sure. I don’t have a home here too, so we can brave this world together, right?”
The filly sighed in content. Young Selene suddenly jumped for joy upon hearing that somepony would take care for them now. “Yes! Yes! Yes! This is like, the best day ever!” She burst with glee as she looked at Twilight with her innocent olive eyes. “Thank you, Twilight.” She gave her the only thing she could give: A big hug. Celeste joined her sister, thinking the same thoughts. “Thank you, Twilight,” she repeated.
“You’re welcome, girls.” Twilight internally laughed at her next words. Won’t Princess Celestia laugh at these events? If I ever see her again. “Anything for my two most faithful students.”
You keep switching to first person, present tense, and lines like "wickedly sweet" don't sound like things the characters would say.
You should probably use italics when Twilight has an inner thought, or at least mark it somehow. I have also noticed you word some things oddly, like "an" instead of "in". It's not grievous things, but it makes for a strange sentence structure. The pacing seems a little fast and the dialog a little forced at times. Past that, good start and interesting premise.
Your story is interesting, but you need to stay consistent with style and tone. That means no switching between first and third, consistent narration style, and giving greater care to the characters. Thoughts should be shown in italics, and be a bit more careful with your characterizations- Twilight should be panicking right now, she's not exactly good with stress.
Oh, and remember that when two different characters speak, they go in different paragraphs. It makes your writing confusing and difficult to muddle through when you write more than one character's speech in a single paragraph.
In fact, lets boil this all down- get a pre-reader. You desperately need one.
My main complaint about this is not the switching of times and stuff like that, it's more that you italize or otherwise mark thoughts.
You have a piece of narration and right behind it, without any indication you switch to Twilight's thoughts. This can become kind of confusing and you do it repeatedly.
It's "rang".
There are a couple of issues here;
There needs to be a paragraph here.
This doesn't strike me as something Twilight would say.
There needs to be something to help the reader tell that she's thinking to herself instead of talking out loud, or if she is there need to be speech marks for it.
Despite those things, there is definitely potential in this story, and it's an original idea (a very very rare thing to see). It''l be interesting to see how Twilight's actions affect the timeline. Speaking of time, I take it we won't see a certain stallion in this fic?
Started out a little fast but I'm hooked. Similar but not identical plot to Que Sera Sera
In addition to everything everyone else is saying, I noticed an unnecessary page break.
As it is still Twilight and she is still in the village, max amount of time passed is maybe ten minutes, it's perfectly fine without the break. Also at the end of the sentence here it should be armor not armors.
You need an editor in a bad way. There are so many formatting, tense, grammar, style, and characterization issues that not even the interesting premise can hold me over.
Twilight is missing a lot of obvious stuff she shouldn't be, characters are just saying how they feel, introspection isn't distinguished from narration, and this list of transgressions just goes on. You should check out some of the chans or writing groups to get some help on your future chapters in addition to revising these ones you've already posted. I do some pre-reading on the side and would also be happy to take a look.
This is a very sweet premise! No wonder this story is in the featured panel! Though I do wonder when Twilight will see the resemblance of the princess fillies to their older selves! Not to mention when will she notice they're alicorns?
Basically what everypony else has said.
lol, I just saw an image like this not even an hour ago which made me want to read a fanfic on it. I didn't think there would be one, but I stand corrected. I'll keep track of this.
I like what you've done with the story so far. Seems like it will be pretty fun to read through as you make it. There's just one little thing I'd suggest as a fellow writer. Do something about those moments that have Twilight's inner thoughts in the first person. There is no stylistic difference and only the difference in written perspective from the rest of the third-person narrative. There is really two ways to fix it. The first is you alter these thoughts to be in italics and structure the paragraphs around them like they are "thought dialogue". (Think like in the books Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance, if you've read those) The second option is to change them into third person perspective so that it flows with the rest of the narrative better.
Other than that little writing-style problem, it's a good read, and I am eager to see more!
You really need someone to edit for you. I noticed ALOT of errors. The premise is interesting (not the first of its kind, but still good, I'm reading because I really liked Que Sera Sera and like this plot idea) but I almost can't do it because of the errors in grammar, tense and just blocky wording. You really have the right start and I know this could be turned into a near-perfect chapter with a few tweaks, so don't let that get you down!
Although I'm really surprised Twilight hasn't put two and two together yet and figured out who the girls are. I understand that they're fillies and their hair (at least Celeste's), and names are wrong, but I just think Twi would be smarter than that....Anyway Good first chapter, I shall see what comes next!
Looks like everyone else has pointed out all the major issues. Otherwise, good job
Celeste,,, Selene?
Why do I feel like those two are Celestia and Luna, pre-acension, respectively? IS THIS REAL OR ARE YOU TROLLING ME?!
Ahem.
This story is awesome.
The two main, glaring things I noticed that could use fixing are constant tense slippage, going from past tense to present tense, which makes it awkward to read and follow. Also, I'd advise putting character thoughts in italics to separate them from the rest of the text and make it a bit more obvious they are, in fact, thoughts.
The story has potential though and I do want to see where it's going. But finding a proofread/pre-reader, or even proof reading it yourself is something that needs to be done to fix some of these. If you are going to do it yourself the best thing I can recommend is putting aside the chapter when you finish writing it and come back to it the next day to look at it with fresh eyes.
FINALLY! Someone who is as confused as I am!
*edit. I finished the chapter. I think this is what shock feels like...
Celeste and Selene are the fanon names for pre-alicorn Celestia and Luna right? nice story btw
2612893
Celeste is the English form of a word from Latin which means "Sky" or the blue of sky or can be "Heaven" and the word in Latin is "Caeleste"
"Selene" is the name of the Moon Goddess in the Greek mythology, daughter of "Hyperion" and "Theia" and sister of "Thelios" who was the Sun-God and I think that was sister of another god but I don't remember
Wait, so it is some sort of paradox that must happen.
Before Celestia and Luna found elements and turned into Alicorns, they were trained and protected by Twilight Sparkle who use time spell, and thanks to her Celestia and Luna became Alicorns, defeated Discord and united Equestria, and so in future Celestia teach Twilight so in future she could go back in time and train Celestia and Luna and so the time loop.
I guess this is how time spells work in Equestria, you can not go back in time to change past because you must go back in time to change past so that future happen, for example, Twilight from the future had to go back in time to make Twilight worried and force her to use time spell to make Twilight in the past worried.
By this logic, whenever a pony use time travel spell, they do not change the past, they just make sure that history stay without change.
I hope this story updates soon its great.
BAHHHHHH. How obvious!!!!
What woulddddd be awesomeeeeee woulddddddd be that Celestia and Luna were supposed to be attacked. That would have triggered there future as alicorn leaders... But thennnnn, Twilight causes an alternate dimension. Mwahahahahahahaha!!!
But seriously. Obviously gonna go full circle. I hope you have something creative in mind.
So, after going through the comments, I'd just like to say good job on cleaning this up.
I won't say its perfect, but it didn't get in the way of me reading it. Of course I'm not particular attentive to these types of things.
(A few notes: The beginning feels rushed; simply saying that Twilight couldn't be argued out of it seems weak. Even in the time travel episode, she was convinced she had a good reason, and the audience saw the deranged reasoning develop. Also, we're never given a good description of the fillies. Are they alicorns? - a fact that would be immediately obivious to Twilight, who would immediately put 2 + 2 together. Simiarly, just be aware you're relying on a bit of an idiot plot here. If we the readers can immediately identify Celestia + Luna, why wouldn't Twilight at least consider it?)
Anyway, I hope this helps, and I look forward to reading
2614230
Hurray for stable time loops.
Note, this is still entirely compatiable with canon
hmmm celeste and celene... could this be history repeating? guess i'll find out
'You know winter is coming soon... '
cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/35353639.jpg
my first reaction when i saw the title of the story was "okay, so twilight went back in time too far by accident and celestia and luna are now twilight's students" i think i was right
2632740 Me too
Please, please put different characters' dialogue in different paragraphs. It can get confusing.
Apart from that, liking this so far. Looking forward to what happens.
I like the premise, but I do have to criticize that it feels a bit rushed, I feel as though the relationship between Twilight, Celeste, and Selene is escalating a bit too fast, and it feels like there's a lack of suspense or buildup. That and the dialogue is a tad awkward and stiff, for example when Twilight thinks at the end that Celestia would laugh at these events, I don't think that really flows naturally like one wouldn't say it like that in every day speech. Perhaps you could say "Boy wouldn't the princess get a kick out of this", but those are just my personal thoughts. Overall it's not a bad job.
2673505 I call bullshit. Circumstantial relationships are meant to be fast, because they actually are. Do try your best to grant some slack here, given the situation.
This gives a new meaning to 'Teaching the ones who taught you'.
so is it just coincidence that you used the name selene here too or is there something about that that i don't know about that everyone else seems to?.....
2761303
More like "the student has become the master".
Twilight... how can you NOT see celestia and luna in those fillies?! HER NAME IS CELESTE. SHE"S LITERALLY ONLY MISSING MULTI-COLORED MANE! LUNA LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HOW SHE ALWAYS DOES. THEY JUST ARE MISSING WINGS!!!
all in all awesome story
Oh gosh, LOVE THIS!



Celestia and Luna as little fillies, and Twilight is teaching them! Daww!
Wait, is this before Twilight ascended? This was 2013, when season 3 concluded and we got Princess Twilight right? So was this written just before that then?
Nice idea, looking forward to how you will develop this.
It updated! Must... re-read... EVERYTHING
interesting story, but i have to ask.
Why make the sisters unicorns? Faust herself said they were BORN alicorns.
6341436 this is an alternate universe remember?
6341436

Who were born Alicorns? Celeste and Selene? Where in My Little Pony do they appear?
6752141 Flurry heart was born a alicorn...
6752141 Celeste and Selene
as in Celestia and Luna? maby?
Er, the whole thing with time travel is that (if the work's internal rules allow, anyway) you could theoretically travel back/forward in time, then return just a minute after you left.
Unless there's an explicit "every minute spent in different time period equals a minute you cannot return to" rule (i.e. if you spent a year in the past, you will return a year after you left), meant to counter the effects of desynchronised ageing, this 'deal' you made with Spike should never apply.
...Did you just one-up Starlight before Starlight even became a thing? Wow; that's impressive. I'd now like to see how you'd flip the tables on her.
I like it Twilight seems a little bit out of character but not a whole lot so I can easily let that slide.
6341436
well, its a fanfic they can do whatever he wants with it.
in the canon of the show luna and Celestia, were most likely unicorns before their ascension due to the fact that they can raise and lower the sun and moon such as the ancient unicorns did. they also admitted that Flurry heart was the first alicorn to be born.
when talking about what is canon you can't just dismiss what is actually happening and said in the show just because you don't like the idea of it. if you don't like the idea of ponies normally must ascend to become an alicorn then make fanfic and brag about it, ill surely read it if it's completed
Oh, this is a very interesting scenarion, filled with potential. Nice.
That should be interesting. However, time travel it always gives me a headache. I mean I'm a thinker, so of course the paradoxes the freaking conundrums that come with time travel. Not to mention the dangerous protocols such as this famous nugget of wisdom: "If you kill a butterfly in the past, it could drastically change the future."
Either ways this should be interesting and it is kind of refreshing to see Tia that young and still hopelessly naive instead of being the chess master that she is present time
