“There, whew you’ve got a magical future ahead of you with that sort of magic potential.” The nurse sat down as she puffed, fanning herself with her hoof. Sweetie smiled and stood up, finding herself free of the headache that had been plagued her for three weeks now.

Wait, three?

[Jirodyne]

5232962 It's going to be interesting. Every time loop event I have seen in shows, movies, games, and stories always have it be 1 day at most. Remembering all the events in 1 day is easy and how they all interact and change. 5 days in a row tho? Dramatic things can happen just between 2 days, let alone 5! Especially when you have to do an event on day 1 and make sure not to do something on day 2, then have to do something day 3, prevent something day 4, just so one person can be in the right spot to do the right thing in day 5. And that is just 1 item out of probably 1000+ to get out of the loop! To remember all the events and how they react to eachother in 5 days? Especially with you being able to over sleep, get exhasted, or pass out between each night and miss something?! It's just too much to handle and keep in control of easily, which is why it's rarely used.

[Moonshine-Dusk]

5240730 Well why make it easy for the character? Difficulty is a part of life, and the universe isn't exactly a place that goes "Oh, making the loop shorter will make it easier for you? Aw okay I'll get right on it." And some loops just go on forever. O-O like hard reset.

[FaelaArts]

5240770 Actually hard reset is a few hours loop, depending on if you neutralise the Elements in time.

[Soluna Eclipse]

5240789

Technically speaking, Hard Reset's loops could last til the end of the universe (as stated by Changling Queen Twilight) it just happens that by sheer chance the loops starting point was only a couple hours before an event forces it to reset (in most cases, the Elements nuking Equestria) but thats just technicalitys.

as for the story itself i have to say you sir have my interest, nothings more enjoyable than a good time travel story imo and this is building up to be awesome

course, there is one thing that i'm mildly confused about which i'm guessing will be explained later. Sweetie mentions not being there for scootaloo the 1st time.. but according to this list of events the Original loop she actually WAS around for the Reports. did she just forget the original iteration ( along with Loop 2 from the looks of it) or was she just not brave enough to stand up for her friend before this all started?

have a like and my continued interest.

[CMDR Kovacs]

5238431 Falling dead was what my dad taught me, and it was what the original rhyme was before the Department of Education changed the nursery rhyme to something less morbid.

[Sauron]

Sweetie Belle get's stuck in a time loop.

*gets

Please note: This poem is how I was taught it. It may not match your version.

It's not my version it doesn't match, it's the historical (and correct) version it doesn't match. The line is "To ashes, to ashes" not "a tissue, a tissue", because the poem was referring to the Black Death. Rather grim, when you know the real meaning.

[Sauron]

5241688
True, because as I mentioned in my last comment the poem was about dying from bubonic plague.

[JasontheDemon]

5236691 It is actually about the great plague from England in 1665. The ashes are from the bodies, houses, and belongings that were burned. It's actually a really dark nursery rhyme when you understand the origins.

[Goodluckfox]

I am really enjoying the story. Groundhog Day loops are a favorite of mine.

Nice error spotting.

[Crimsion Ink]

I don't get it....somepony please explain!!!!!

[FaelaArts]

5242204 Just a summary of what loops have been. There's going to be a lot of them.

[Crimsion Ink]

5242211 okay thanks.......

So, what started it all.....have we gotten to that part yet?

[Ralfil]

So is this chapter going to be getting updated with each new chapter?

[FaelaArts]

5242245 Yep

5242225 If I told you that what point would there be to read the story ;)

[Crimsion Ink]

5242510 Oh...okay.
Guess I will just have to wait.................

(PS: Great story so far!)

[Zombificus]

But what happened to Loop 2? I assume this is a mystery to be solved at a later date - if so, I'm guessing that it holds a lot of clues as to why all this is going on. This is getting really interesting.

[FaelaArts]

5243830 Loop 1 Sweetie didn't know it was a loop. Loop 2 Sweetie was the same. Loop 3 is where she starts to realise, aka chapter 1.

[Xinrick]

5244554 Well frankly they showed, in canon, that Scoots can't fly...even Faust said she's crippled...but meh and all right I understand what you want to do

[Nitrous Rainbows]

I'm leaning towards the perfect loop thing. Except I'd rather it didn't just happen because wouldn't it be better to make it happen to Diamond if lessons are meant to be learnt. So actually I have no conclusive idea.

That said, someone has to have a sleepover at Sweetie's and see what happens, preferably Twi but that might be hard to do.

[FaelaArts]

5244603 One loop at a time. Can't do everything in one loop.

[FaelaArts]

5244977 Well she has been spending time with Twilight ;)

[Xzaves]

Ring around the rosey,
(The black rings appear across their body)
A pocket full of posies,
(The doctors wore masks filled with various sweet smelling flowers and herbs to mask the scent)
A tissue A tissue,
(The victims cough and sneeze)
We all fall down.
(Everyone dies)

Love how this nursery rhyme is about the Bubonic plague...

[FaelaArts]

5245192
What do you mean? All of them are around 2k in length, so I guess it just seems short?

[FaelaArts]

5245767
Maybe you need to brush.

[Cold Spike]

Whoever taught you that version of the poem probably didn't know the origin of the poem... lol

[FaelaArts]

5245937 No, they did.

[Cold Spike]

5245977 Then why the tissue? So you don't find out what it was about as a kid?

[FaelaArts]

5245990 Google it, I'm tired of having this conversation every day.

[Cold Spike]

5246225 Sorry, I know these sections are typically meant for criticism on the actual story. I never get much so I guess I got into the habit of just using it to make conversation.

I googled it.

[FaelaArts]

5246228 It's not that, just read back. I've had this brought up so many times I even put a disclaimer in the description.

[Cold Spike]

5246244 Many people do not like reading the comments (if that's what you meant). People spoil stuff about stories without thinking. As for your story it's an interesting idea. Sorry to flood your comment box with non sense.

[FaelaArts]

5246247 No it's more of the fact:

"Your poem is wrong"
"No, the poem should be this version"
"Actually there are many different versions."
"It's the wrong version."

I enjoy comments, I love hearing what people think, and there's always plenty of amusing ones. I just dislike these comments, because it's always the exact same thing.

Anywho, thanks for the praise, and I'm sorry you got some of my backlash. I think I'm going to have to make an edit to the notice so this doesn't happen again.

[Cold Spike]

5246376 Backlash is fine by me. I can certainly see how comments like those would be an annoyance... maybe not the same, but I've gotten some where someone simply said "no, that character should act like this because they do in the show and I say so"... when it's my story and not theirs.

[FaelaArts]

5246389 Anywho, I'll see you next time you comment, I gotta go.

[noobie56xx]

5245032 It's so interesting that an innocent nursery rhyme has such a dark meaning behind it.

Here's an alternate version that I know of.

Ring around the rosie,
a pocket full of posie,
ashes, ashes,
we all fall down.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I've heard this rhyme in Plague Inc also. It sounded almost identical too.
(@ 1:16)

[FaelaArts]

For those checking the story when it normally updates; not today. Real life and a mixture of 'I refuse to let you work on your writing when you want to because I'm a stupid brain that has decided I will not have the attention span to do so today'.

[Jirodyne]

5240789 like 5240837 said, the loops in Hard Reset lasts until Twilight does, which in 2 loops, her being a Changeling Queen and her being a goddess, is forever. That's why after 'breaking from the loop', Twilight freaks out. 1, because she can no longer see every option choices can lead to, and 2, because she had no way of knowing if the loop was actually truely 100% broken, because the only way it resets is if she dies. And if the loop isn't broken, nothing bad happens. If it IS broken... she dies... forever.

Sweetie Belle killing herself is taking a very big risk. Twilight's looping revolved around death, it was the way to reset. Sweetie's tho is revolved around her room, not death. So killing herself most likely will just end with her dead, not resetting the loop. The main problem for Sweetie so far, is that there is no conflict. In Hard Reset, the elements were exploding, Twilight had to do the correct events to prevent that, save her friends, and so on. Sweetie Belle tho... There is nothing, She doesn't even need to sleep. At midnight Friday night, it resets. Period. From a certain point of view, it means there is 2 possibilities. Either there is no way out, or the room is what's causing it for some reason. With her magic getting stronger and out of control, I wonder if she cast a spell on her room in her sleep, and needs to dispel it.

[FaelaArts]

5247271 I've only read the first one so thanks for the spoilers.

[TheGreatEater]

5250579

MageAloo is anyfic where Scootaloo does magic (usually via wings, or the power of her mind). There are a few good fics out there. Since it is a rarity (which only increases its awesomeness when you see it.):

- http://www.fimfiction.net/story/85758/just-winging-it. The Author already stated that his Scoots is going to be a magic user. But Scootaloo is still developing the Skills. Right nw she can cast Sigil / Chaos Magic without her having a horn [ala Twilight Spell]. Great fic and very interesting so far.

-http://www.fimfiction.net/story/146732/one-in-a-million A little annoyed that she's dependant on Wing Flapping for power control, but that's understandable habit from being used to being a Peggy. Still wonderful fic, interesting, and unique.

-http://www.fimfiction.net/story/54692/pegasus-horns. First Magealoo fic I ever read that wasn't an Alicorn CMC fic. Basically Pegasi make Psionic horns and can cast spells like a Unicorn. Other races can do it to (including Griffons) if taught. It's well worth the time to read just for the remise alone. Parts of it were iffy t the time, but used to reading about Celestia "enforcing harmony" in darker fics now. It's rather tame to see it in that story, and the only mark against it.

______________

Still a Magic CM Scoots and Sweets are both more interesting than Scooting Scoots (Which in the show she does to get around until she's able to fly and be more like her big sister (like Sweets fashion attempts)), and Singing Sweets (since in canon she only likes show tunes, and its somethin she does privately for fun. Rather than something she wants to do with her life.).

[wille179]

Are the chapter names the number of weeks Sweetie's been looping?

[Phxntxm]

Even if you might ignore it I've got to comment on the poem, you might have learned it like that but I have a feeling you didn't READ it like that. It's not meant to be "A tissue" it's "A-tishoo!" as in a sneeze. The song isn't meant to represent a tissue in anyway, that line just alludes to sneezing itself.

[FaelaArts]

5253177 Yup

[Heat Signature]

5253231 the line ashes ashes we all fall down since the song I about the Bubonic plague that killed 1/3 of olden day Europe. Ring around the rosey(dont remember the meaning of this line), pockets full of posies(a flower, posies, that doctors used to try and cure it. Religious people thought if they put them in their pockets it would keep them protected), ashes ashes (the burning of the bodies to keep from spreading Bubonic plague), we all fall down(dead, 1/3 of Europe dead). Lots of British nursery rhymes are based on horrible events in their history. London Bridge is falling down was about the Germans invasion of France, and the bombing of Britain.

[Heat Signature]

5245032 it was ashes ashes we all fall down, they burned the dead to prevent the bubonic plague from spreading as much as they could.

[Phxntxm]

5253544
I know what it's referring to, I don't know why you're explaining it to me. The first line is referring to a symptom of red circles around the eyes of the victims, the one you are talking about is the american edited version, trust me when I say the way the author has it (changing "a tissue" to "A-Tishoo!") is the common British way. Please research something before trying to correct someone.

5253544 If you continue, I will be forced to start deleting comments. This is turning into an argument, and I have clearly stated not to discuss it.
