In the middle of the night of 1986, a twelve-year-old girl wakes up to find an armored pegasus underneath her bed. The pegasus suddenly leaves, but not without the little girl following him back to Equestria. There she finds Princess Celestia when she asks the little girl what her name was, she nearly goes into shock.
"It's Lauren," she said. "My name is Lauren Faust."

Chapters (16)
Curiosity stepping in. I might just continue reading this.
Very, very interesting. I wanna see where this goes and whether or not Lauren is going to be sticking around Equestria for a while. I would also like to know what Private Arrowhead was doing in Lauren's world.
love with the little girl curiosity thing, worthy read
OK, I'm in.
Please continue I want to know what happens.
>on -> one
>attending -> intending
>privet -> private
Other than that, fantastic premise for a story. My own curiousity has been piqued, and this is goin' in the watch list. ;)

Maybe we can find out when this is in relation to Twilight Sparkle or other major Canon events like Nightmare Moon or Discord.
This seems like it's going to be one of those weird time stories where the younger self had an event happen to her that caused her older self to create the thing for when it happens to her younger self. Not sure if I wrote that out correctly, but i'll try it again using this story. Young Lauren gets pulled into Equestria/future, causing her to meet the people she is to create, though hasn't yet, and this event causes her to later create the same people that leads to the event happening to her when she was younger.
This kind of helps:

I think I might just watch this.
Good to see that old brain of yours working!

By the way, I love the plot idea!
Sounds interesting. Lets see what the next chapter will bring
Lets see where this goes...

I'll be blunt. This fic is overrated, to the point where it's damaging to the author. This story fails on so many fundamental levels. There is so much telling, the grammar is subpar, the verb tense switches, Celestia is out of character, there is rampant abuse of Lavender Unicorn Syndrome, etc.
Let me go line-by-line with all the problems.
First, extra e in "Ow". Second, that sentence is ridiculously awkward. I can infer that you mean that after the click from turning on the lamp, the light filling the room blinded her, but I had to reread and analyze it to gather that. This would read better as something more to the effect of, "After she turned on the light, she found herself blinded for a moment." It's probably better dropping "for a moment" altogether, but even what I have is an improvement. Third, it is generally recommended that times be written out as words. So in this case, it should be "two seventeen" instead of "2:17".
Okay, let me explain this one. A dresser is a piece of furniture. The drawer is the part you put things in. You do not put things on a drawer. You put them on a dresser. "Clothes" is misspelled. Haven't is present tense; this story is in past tense. "Hadn't" would be the correct word.
The only thing in the hallway was the dark? Do you realize how weird that sounds? Maybe say something like, "saw only darkness" would work, though I'm honestly not sure of any way to fix it.
Okay... Grabbing a pony wouldn't be my first reaction, but I do see why she'd want to use one as a weapon. Those things are pretty hard for just plastic.
Reminder: "Ow" is a cry of pain, as in "Ow, this fic hurts to read." "Owe" means to be indebted to someone, as in "Author, you owe me the time I wasted on your fic!"
Bleh. Just general telliness. I have nothing clever to say about it.
And at this point, I realized that I have nothing further to say without repeating myself. But still, what I got to (only about a sixth of the story!) points out several of the problems present here. I think that I have provided sufficient material to point out that there is still quite a bit of room for improvement.

*reads the description*
Oh my gosh! YES!
Privet... Seriously?
It's Private, not privet. A privet is a shrub. I recommend fixing this with some of the other errors asap. I believe someone else made a very in-depth review for you.
It needs a little help, but this story has some pretty damn good potential.
5311516 I don't think I personally could be a full editor. I don't ever have time...
“Private Arrowhead, may I speak with you in privet?”
that should be private

I hope you read the description.
Yet another excellent idea you've had Inkwell. I can't do it right this minute as I don't have a secure form of internet, but if you're still looking on Dec. 5th, then I would be more than happy to go over the fic and try to help you fix some errors.
Very interesting.
I guess your decision how to continue depends on how you want to portray the adult Lauren, now.
I would think, I you wanted her to be an all-knowing creator, she should now about this time paradox.
If, on the other hand, you want her to create everything with unknowing innocence you should avoid to tell her.
I would like to read both, first they try to hide it from her and have a hard time doing so, but then, Lauren proofs to be to smart for that and asks the right questions. Finally they tell her and right then, when you could easily end the story THEN you should step on the gas as it would surely be pretty entertaining to see them handle all the problems that will arise with her knowing everything in advance. Especially if you add Discord.
Just imagine how Discord tries to manipulate the innocent child but ultimately only achieves what has already been predetermined:
Him getting created the way he has been created.
Enjoyed your second chapter as well. This could become one outstanding story.
Keep it up! I'll be awaiting you next chapters
i'm enjoying this story. and i must say i've never read a story like this before, i'm interested to see where this goes
stay classy
very.... interesting...
do go on
Why would they tell her she's their mother? Wouldn't that get her asking questions until it comes around to her dreaming of Equestria? Besides the being too young bit.
Becoming more meta by the minute.
5311817 I don't see why anyone is complaining, besides some spelling errors, this is pretty well written compared to most of the stories on this site
5313011 in my opinion, I don't care that much if the author acts cranky towards people on here, not every story that's on here is going to be perfect or how we want it, but that's to be expected on a sight where anyone can write a story, with talent or no. And it's just plain rude when someone moans and complains about the story, when they aren't writing one themselves.
I haven't read this.
Just saw it on what hot.
Dunno why people seem to hate/love it.
Don't care.
Will get around to reading.
Very interesting concept.
Gave me a brainfart almost as big as my own imagination multiverse theory.....
I'm going to stop thinking about this and come back when I am prepared
I like this story... I like it alot
First congratulations on the Featured!
Second I am absolutely loving this story so far, keep up the amazing work.
Wait, you talk to us. Isn't that enough?
No, I want cool powerstuffs like you guys!
Would you pick mine or Darkus's?
Hmm... Darkus. He's got pretty much every power I wanted ever!
I just hope you wouldn't abuse them...
If he included that sentence in his comment, there's no doubt he'd try not to.
Good point.
Anyway, nice story, dude! It's quite the read!
Tricky slope Luna went down. Careful there man.
I say, at least for now, it's probably best not to tell her she's their mother. She probably wouldn't understand what that means.
I wonder if Lauren knows how babies are made and Tia tells her that she's their mother. She probably would be grossed out.
I think that ther should be a flashback of some sort and the princesses should 'tell' us about how they remember their mother.
