Well this is interesting, the looper actually knowing what's going on and treating the phenomena with a healthy dose of pragmatism is a new twist. We'll see how she'd doing after a few dozen loops though.
If Celestia or anyone else is trying to manipulate things, the eventual limited omniscience acquired after innumerable loops will tear those machinations to shreds.
Well, I’m always up for some time loop shenanigans. Let’s see where this goes!
Ok, aside from a few weird word choices in the first paragraph, this looks really good. I just hope she uses the time loop to its full potential by:
1. Mapping out exactly how far she can get away from Ponyville before the loop resets. This is her sphere of influence.
2. Reading every single book inside that sphere.
3. Learning every possible trade.
4. Figuring out clinical immortality and how to make physical changes loop with her so she can bulk up and learn muscle memory skills like martial arts.
5. Grab a mind reading spell so she knows everyone in range inside and out (a day isn't long enough to get that info by befriending them, after all).
6. Set it up so Nightmare Moon is back in Equestria for all of two seconds before she gets blasted by the elements of harmony.
Love the impromptu starring contest. Also wonder if Pinkie will somehow pick up on this.
no worries Twilight, you'll figure it out.

Eventually.
I realły want to see her method of convincing him about 100 deep. I imagine it would mostly just involve answering questions before he finishes opening his mouth each time.

I hadn't thought of that, but it's a good idea.
Ah, the joys of time-loops, where if you accidently get everyone killed, you can just start over. I sincerely hope she never gets around to the "polish mine detector" stage of things. Sure, mapping out the traps by marching down the hallway and remembering what you stepped on just before you died works, but it's hardly good for your sanity.
I wonder, will this get as bad as Blueblood's encounter, or will Twilight not have to find the lucidity on the far side of madness?

I initially conceived this story for light-hearted misadventures, but it developed further out of my penchant for giving stories a certain amount of depth. Which was for the best, after I really evaluated the limitations of what Twilight could do in this time frame and what I thought was characteristic of her to do without taking things so far that she becomes a vastly different character.
I also have a penchant for trying to do something uncommon or unique, so I hope where I take this story will be a pleasant surprise. Crosses fingers
9392721
Ah, a more light-hearted jaunt then? Sounds wonderful.
9393086
For the most part. Just clarifying so I'm not misunderstood and it comes back to bite me.
His disappointment will rapidly about face at least. And even if it goes poorly only one pony is ever going to remember it.
Ah yes, the venerable tradition of abusing time loops to learn everything there is to know about everything within a day's march of your starting point. The answers to all of your deepest questions!
I say, this is starting to look suspicious, no?
10584293
The time loop itself or everything that twilight is figuring out as the result of it?
10584366
Twilight finding all these set-dressing irregularities. The time loop itself is highly unlikely to be deliberate.
10584409
Just making sure, but yeah I bet whatever ends up being the explanation is going to lead to hilarity.
Celestia did it. Calling it now.
Haha, it's kabuki all the way down. At this rate she'll end up conjuring Starsquirrel's element of Sourcery rather than the magic/faith/friendship she was intended to get.
Indeed, if the revelatory enchantment relies on Twilight achieving certain epiphanies on a set schedule or in a certain proximity, she may end up borking the entire thing simply by forming bonds of friendship here in these loops.
Wouldn't that be amusing...
Nice realistic response to a time loop.
Well waddaya know. Someone came whiffling along and decided to play chessmaster.
And then Fate leaned down and whispered, "no".
Let me guess, it was the tree of harmony who set them up, right?
10716469
And that chessmaster isn't princess celestia?
Now that is a hot take! Do you how refreshing it is to see that Celestia isn't the one making these elaborate plans.
Actually that actually fits pretty well into canon.
Princess Bride reference?
10585528
Well obviously. She was the game master here
This is very interesting. I'll be following it.
10716503
I sort of did something like that in another story and try not to do certain things twice. I’m hoping that the mastermind will come as a complete surprise when all is said and done.
10716807
I couldn’t help myself.
Now I want to say that it was Starswirl but that just seems to obvious.
10717173
its Pinkie, isn't it?
10721031
It’s who the hints are pointing toward, so... Maybe.
So far this is during season 1 and it looks something happened in her magic and I think it's affecting everything some reason and I wonder what could it be this is a pretty interesting start so far
Spike you probably don't want that because it's a nightmare 😰
Ohh so so basically this is kind of a like a story of Groundhog's Day situation that Twilight is going through a loop on the same day okay once again this is a pretty good starts
Poor Twilight she doesn't even know about these two swindlers that they're nothing but cheap con artist
So basically Twilight reset again and this time she told Pinkie not to do any surprise party even though that kind of raised a lot of question for Pinkie How the heck did she knew about that but after that she tried to find any information about friendship and she basically found nothing but at least you found the elements of harmony even though she still doesn't know yet I wonder how this will work out
Oh dear me something tells me that Twilight and Spike died in the forest that was very sad but good thing the time Loop reseted and now she she knows the dangers in the forest
Usually I can't question Pinkie Pie's logic but somehow she knows what's going on
Okay so apparently Twilight and Spike went to the everfree forest despite knowing how dangerous is to go inside that Forest and apparently a cockatrice found twilight and petrified her and Spike and apparently killing down but the time loop reset again thank goodness and Pinkie Pie was asking why is she on the ground but Twilight wants to know what kind of creatures are inside the forest and hack there is a lot of dangerous creatures in there so she needs to figure out how to get through the forest without getting herself and Spike killed
Wait a minute your chapter says Rainbow Road
sorry can't help it lol 😅
Seriously does anybody know that Nightmare Moon is actually real
9392287
Wait a minute are you talking about that that story that blue blood was stuck in a Time Loop
So apparently Twilight is asking Rainbow dash help to get through the everfree forest and make it to the castle of the Two Sisters hopefully things will go smoothly but given take about the forest I don't think so
10730043
Yeah, dot's the one.
So it looks like rainbow and Twilight finally made it to the castle to sister but something very odd about this the Rope bridge is brand new and some of the Pebbles the rocks and everything inside the castle have been cleared out and the carpet looks a little brand new a little bit something tells me somebody was here but who exactly and is this cost of this time Loop this is a pretty interesting one so far
From what I remember it's one of Princess Luna's favorite things about the castle
Ok wow so Twilight and Rainbow try to find any information about The Elements of Harmony is an about this Castle so far they didn't find nothing until they found a trap door or a trap room or whatever where are Princess Celestia and Luna's Journal is there and apparently they just found out that this Castle belongs to Princess Celestia and Luna 1000 years ago and so Twilight found out about this whole information so now what's going to happen
Okay so apparently Twilight told Rainbow about this whole situation and telling her about she stuck in a Time Loop and she knows what's going to happen next before anything happens I mean rainbow kinda took it pretty well now the only question is why is this happening
Hmm this is really getting suspicious already so apparently Princess Celestia didn't knew about this whole situation because somebody was preparing for something and changing the plot and somehow they knew what's going to happen so whoever this unknown Pony or creature is setting it up for something but what I guess we'll find out next time now the question is I know Twilight is stuck in a Time Loop but is the rest of the Mane 6 going to help out
10730050
Yeah I remember reading that story that was a pretty good one
Alright, I took the bate, this has to be one of the most catching cliffhangers that I have read as of yet! I wonder what will happen next since there are three possibilities that I have in mind. Eather Rainbow remembers the loop due to friendship, Rainbow blew up from her appending doom (highly unlikely), or the loop reset's and Twilight have to carry Rainbow's guilt, as Rainbow dose her training for the wonder bolts oblivious of Nightmare moon's return. Can't wait for the next chapter and shall wait diligently.
The poignancy rises!
Great chapter, Twilight's learning about the magic of friendship one friend at a time.
Oh, ho?
