Twilight didn't ask for her consciousness to be ripped from her mortal frame as her world was torn asunder, only to be forced into manifesting onto an ethereal plane as the all-seeing avatar of Logic and Magic. In fact, she didn't really get any sort of say in the matter. But Pinkie got there too, so that was at least something.
Fascinating as it is to watch Elemental Ladies of Magic and Laughter have their usual friendly patter, I can't decipher how exactly Twilight's solution works. Still fun stuff, though.
Fun cosmic stuff. At least Twilight has company over the eons.

I think Twilight unmade herself (and possibly all realities possible, impossible, imaginable, and unimaginable) just so she wouldn't have to listen to Pinkie anymore.
My only objection here is that the universe, as far as we can tell, is not cyclical in nature. No crunches or bounces here, only a googol years of ever-increasing darkness and entropy, evermore diluted by an ever-accelerating expansion of spacetime, until only fundamental particles and anemic photons remain.
And that still sounds preferable to a forced eternity with Pinkie Pie.

Our universe [1], sure, but some cosmologies theorize an essentially infinite number of universes, some of which may have the right setup for cyclical behavior. (Possibly an infinite number: there are differently sized infinities, as Georg Kantor could have told you, before he had his mental breakdown).
[1] Which, the whole "no magic" thing indicates, is not Equestria's universe

It's April 1st: today least of all days do stories have to make sense.

Alternate universes I grant you, but even a super-critical closed universe won't bounce forever. Entropy increases enormously with each bounce, resulting in asymptotically lengthened cycles and an eventual non-contracting fate.
I have no idea what I just read
I think the MOST logical conclusion I could come up with for... whatever this is, is that this is the result of the two of them doing several times past the healthy limit of LSD, and now Twilight is hallucinating several multiverses at once. Pinkie, on the other hand, is perfectly fine, because Pinkie Pie.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Twilight, and the Word was "D'oh!".
Q!
Uh what ?
That was something.
I'm still trying to figure out what I've read. But I am glad nonetheless.
So... Did she reach through time and delete herself so this mess never happened?
Isn't that exactly how it doesn't work?
If she unmade herself at the end, I think this should have the "Suicide/Self-Harm" tag?
Oh dear......
Nice variation on the Shepherd's Boy monologue by the way.
