The Time Thief

Loop 68

Astral pressed her face to the floorboards, letting out a large sigh as she did so.

Starlight, who was reading in the same room, looked over her book, unimpressed. "What's wrong?" She asked.

Astral dragged a hoof down her face "there's nowhere else to go!" She whined.

"What?"

The younger Unicorn turned to look at her mother, eyes wide. "Wait! Wan't there a boat leaving for Zebrifica a day ago?"

At this, Starlight put down her book, suspicious. "Yes . . . ?"

"Great!" Astral leaped back up to her hooves, a giant smile on her face, before racing out of her room. "I just have to wait until the next loop!"

Author's Note:

I just realised, you guys probably think Alchemy and Apple Jewell are adults. They're actually seventeen years old. It's not odd for ponies to leave their families early to fulfill their jobs.

And, Clarity, who I mentioned in passing a couple of chapters ago, is Jam's little sister
