L33.1
Sweetie stared at the ceiling, and sighed. Boredom was one of those things she had been trying to avoid, but she really didn’t know what she could do. A part of her silently wondered what would change if she did nothing? Closing her eyes, she knew it wouldn’t. There was nothing she could do, there was no escape.
“So, what do I do about it?” Sweetie glanced toward the window, watching as a pegasus flew by at exactly 5:15 in the morning, as he did every other loop. Sighing, Sweetie counted down the seconds, her ear flickering as a rooster began to caw in the distance. Sitting up, Sweetie rummaged around her bags, and pulled out one of the looping books she knew off by heart.
“Tch,” gritting her teeth, Sweetie tossed it into the air, and set it on fire, quickly dousing it the moment it was turned to ash, preventing the fire from spreading. Glancing toward it, Sweetie tried to force herself not to think about the friend she had lost before even getting to know her.
“Right, I think it’s time I asked Twilight for help.” Sweetie nodded, standing up and quickly checking her bags were in order. Most of the stuff was piled in her room, due to the spell to make the bags twice as big not working until she got Twilight to recast it. Only the most important items were in her saddlebags.
Walking downstairs, Sweetie quickly wrote a note to Rarity, explaining she had gone to see Twilight, leaving a copy of Rarity’s looping note beside it. Placing it on the table, Sweetie turned and trotted out the door. Knocking on the castle door, Twilight was quick to answer. Sweetie barged past her, entering the castle. Levitating the note into Twilight’s face, Sweetie closed the door, and took a seat.
“Bla bla okay listen Twilight.” Sweetie quickly cut off Twilight, motioning for her to sit down as she waited impatiently. Eventually, Sweetie was obeyed, and she began to speak, eyes narrowing as she discussed the serious subject.
“I’m bored. I don’t think I need to tell you why I need to avoid that.” Sweetie knew Twilight would be thinking about the many looping books, and what happened to the main character if they grew bored, or too pressured. Sweetie closed her eyes, and waited for Twilight to think on the matter.
“Well, I’m going to need some time to think of better ideas, but...Oh! I got it, this!” Twilight beamed a smile as she held up a diary of some sort. Sweetie raised an eyebrow, taking it in her magic. Opening it, she realised it was the diary of Celestia and Luna. Sweetie’s eyebrow raised further, and she slowly closed the book.
“Well, not that exactly, but that’s what brought the idea into my head. You see, I got that from the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters in the Everfree. There’s plenty to do there. I’d be happy to escort you, but you probably don’t need me to escort you ehe…” Scratching the back of her head, Twilight tried to laugh away what she felt was turning into an awkward moment. Sweetie shook her head, giving an endearing smile.
“I’d love you to come. Who knows what we might find together?”
“As you can see, there’s plenty of ancient books. Lore, even a section dedicated to Celestia’s Fanfictions. I would not advise reading them.” Twilight winced as she glanced to them, and Sweetie wondered how bad they could be. Maybe it would give her an idea of what heroes Celestia had seen while growing up.
“There’s a lot to read here, sounds like fun, but is there anything else?” Sweetie plucked a few of the books out, and placed them in her saddlebags for later. Turning, Sweetie followed Twilight out of the library, and into the ruined halls of the castle.
“To be honest, I don’t really know. Last time we properly explored the castle we all got horribly lost and frightened only to find out it was Pinkie Pie. I’ve never really properly ‘explored’ it per se.” Twilight smiled, and Sweetie mused, both pausing as they entered the throne room. Looking around, Sweetie supposed this would be fun.
“Alright, I’ll see if I can make a map.” Sweetie nodded, that sounded like the most fun. Twilight giggled, and waved a wing as she turned and headed for a door.
“Alright, I’ll be in the library if you need me. Try not to get stuck in a death loop or something. See ya.” As soon as Twilight left, Sweetie opened her saddlebags and pulled out a large piece of paper, and scribbled down the bit of the castle she already knew about. Listing it up, she nodded, and slipped it back into the saddlebag.
“Alright, so I’ll stick to the left, and once that’s done try tracing my way backward.” Sweetie nodded, taking a step to head for the first door. Opening it, Sweetie saw a long hallway with a lot of armor being displayed on stands. Stifling a shudder, Sweetie was struck by how creepy they were.
“Nonsense,” she scoffed, shaking her head rapidly and beginning to walk down the path. Sweetie noticed signs amiss, one armor set being in disarray. Sweetie supposed this was from Twilight’s last exploration. Nodding, Sweetie marked the corridor on the map, and continued.
Of course, that was when a giant gaping hole opened up underneath her, and she fell down a slide into a dark dungeon room with rusted bars. Rubbing her sore flank, she turned and kicked a few out, and exited the cell. Looking around, Sweetie flipped the piece of paper over, beginning her map again.
“Right, let’s uh...try...right…” Sweetie turned, and headed down the hall, ears flopping back as a grating sounded from right above her. Visions of the ceiling crumbling around her made her worry she might get caught in a death loop again. Sweetie shuddered, highly doubting her savior would be able to find her out here.
Ignoring her qualms, Sweetie pushed forward.
Hey, I'm looking to shamelessly advertise a fic I'm working on for a contest. You can find it here if you are interested. It's roughly 5k, so it's not very long. I would love any feedback you care to give.
Also ^that, because devils number and whatnot.

Ooh, the same number of likes as the number of talents of gold King Solomon received in tribute every year.

Sweets alone in an ancient, destitute castle filled with artifacts and spells of great power both good and evil. Nothing could possibly go wrong, and Sweets getting Celestia's fanfics published would be the embarrassing thing ever for Poor Tia.
So which loop did she lose Philomena in? I kind of lost track of that.
Where's Rarity? Did she just disappear?
Don't know why a death loop would concern her. She dies out there, she resets to her room.
5491673 Id like to know this too
Congrats on the like count of the beast.

"Try not to get stuck in a death loop or something"
And how, dear Twilight, could she possible get stuck in a dead loop here?
Last time was due to her being stuck in a room with no air. And I don't think that is gonna happen here.
So unless there is some other way she cou...
Wait...
Is there another way she could get stuck in a death loop?
or maybe something could happen that woudnt kill her... but leave her stranded for dying for a long time.
We know that when she dies the loop resets and she returns fully restored in her bed.
but what if for instance she would end up getting trapped under some boulders or in an old prison cell (not dead, trapped).
oh my god... what if she DID, and then the loop would reset with her still stuck. with NO ONE knowing where she is.
and if they don't find her before the next reset. she would be stuck in that spot until she died of thirst, or starvation.
Just sitting alone... scared... knowing the only salvation is to die.
So, I'm confused. On loop 31, how exactly did Sweetie die from that cookie jar again????????????????
5491953
That wouldn't happen. Once Sweetie Belle dies, she ends up safe and sound in her own bed. I'd be more worried if Twilight was in her general vicinity when she died.
5491694
My guess is Sweetie Belle ran off before Rarity even got out of bed.
5492040
Yes, When she died.
WHEN!
That could still take a LOOOOOONG time.
Just for the sake of it... a huge number of things could happen to Twilight that could make her unable to help Sweetie before the reset.
Imagen.
The castle collapses (its old, it could happen)
Sweetie (and perhaps twilight) gets trapped
Twilight gets a blow to her head. leaving her dead/unconscious for several days/ mentally handicapped.
Loop resets with Sweetie alive, yet still trapped.
(extra heartbreaking if twilight was still alive at that point)
The area around Sweetie is still holding her trapped.
Days goes by. still trapped.
perhaps another reset... cant tell at this point.
cant do nothing...
and finally...
death finally comes.
Taking her back to her bed.
om nomnom.
5492029 it contained the universe the sight of it killed her i think
Hmm. I begin to worry about Sweetie's mental health. It is beginning to decrease and I fear it won't take much longer before she does something...drastic or desperate.
And I want to say I really enjoy this time-loop story. Good job.
Hey, great story man.
Just saying that if you ever get author's block again, there are always the letters that everypony wrote to keep Sweetie distracted
5491710 I'm pretty sure it's both because death hurts, and because she's clearly starting to grow annoyed of having to go from scratch every time she resets. Poor Sweetie's at the point where everything is becoming bland and tasteless.
5491673 5491716 After loop 31 and resetting due to death by Cookie Jar, I think. Since Philomena was out of the room when it happened, she got erased.

I thought it was established that when Sweetie dies outside of her room she gets teleported back to her room With everything eing reset (including all her collected items). Or maybe thats just when she dies outside or in a room too large for the loops.
Urgh these later chapters have felt so off as they feel inconsistent with earlier chapters.
I'm still wondering what other clues might surface.
5495169
Yeah, because At this point, pretty much all we know is that Star Swirl is being bitchy with his research.
So is Celestia writing them, or are they written about her? if it's the latter, isn't that called breaking the forth wall? how do you search for stories that break the forth wall? I want to read some!
>>Author's Note last part-not cool-at least you're over now! congrats to that!
5491710 Death LOOP. That's where she dies over and over and over and over-forever. when she dies, she "re-spawns" in her room, sure, but if she is in a death loop, (in her room, of course. that's the only place she can have a death loop) well, I won't even go there.
Anypony else thing looping is a little like Minecraft? if you die you re-spawn in your room, or next to your bed (Minecraft).Unless, in Minecraft, you don't have a bed. then you re-spawn where you died, so if whatever killed you is still there... Poof! death loop!
i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/631/576/651.gif
annnnd now i'm all caught up and have to wait for new chapters like everyone else.
So here's how sweetie falls into death loop, She gets trapped, then she eventually dies of starvation, then she appears in her bed, but she cant get to the kitchen in time, then she dies of starvation over and over and over and over again FOREVER!!!
5492092
I think when she die she go back where was she the last time when the loop reset, so if she trapped and a reset happening I think she stuck there.
5491673
I think when she visit Bab. So she didin't in her room when the loop reset, but I'm not sure.
5507276 wha? what? what is this?
5506977 Yeah. that's a right pain in the
assdonkey.Death loop thought: imagine in the castle the wall fell on her. Ok.
( random)( not a pony hate she's one of my fav characters )
So the next time on Monday when she awakes the wall repeatedly falls on her, imagine the look on raritys face
5507276
That is adork able!
How are they so cute?!
I want these fanfictions. For science, of course... Hehehehehe. Heh. Heh.
5506977 get your facts straight. you respawn at the world spawn. also, its not even close to minecraft.
5506963 it's spelled fourth, as in the grade you're still in
