I'm fuckin' dyin'.

I knew it was going to be either Twilight or Trixie!

It's going to take some time for Starlight to get used to who her mom is.:rainbowlaugh:

Wow what a twist Who knew it was gonna be her own best friend.

... Me thinks Twilight is trolling Starlight here. This is too stupid otherwise...

Have a fav anyway.

This is just as stupid when Twilight got her first experience with time travel. So very plausible!

Well then... okay! Not really sure what say so... have a ballon 🎈

i still think this is one giant troll from twilight.

“Whaaaaat? Me? Hiding forbidden knowledge from my students?” the Princess chuckles nervously. “That’s crazy talk.”

"And besides! Obviously, I get it from Celestia. Assuming this all was actually a thing, of course." :rainbowlaugh:

I went into this thinking it'd be Twilight. I'm actually very well-pleased to see that wasn't the case--because this is better. :trixieshiftleft:

This is a doctor who episode I know it just haven't seen it yet

No. Bad bookhorse. No secrets for you.

I admit it, you got me.

You got me. This is hilarious. Now I kind of would like to see a Pony Terminator and how Trixie and Glimmer's Dad met.

Starlight you can never forget now. Remember all those things you helped Trixie with? How you stopped the Changelings together? Mother-Daughter Bonding!

I don't know what's freaky: Trixie being Starlight's mom or Spike use the word bitching as a catchphrase.

Come with me if you want to TRIX!

^-(\ Okay that was pretty damn funny! Not bad! Not bad at all!

Well. Using forbidden artifacts to take over a small town does seem like the irresponsible overreaction Starlight would do if she was humiliated. Must be genetic.

Its Terminator, ya silly goose! :derpytongue2:

I watched Terminator a week or two ago. How convenient. :rainbowderp:

The sad thing is that would explain a lot of why Twi was so concerned when the friendship started.

This was hilarious. Also congrats! This has reached #1 on featured list. Well deserved.

“Seriously? This sounds like a plot to a thirty year-old sci-fi film.”

Shut up, Spike!” Starlight declares. “This is serious!”

Spike: "I'll be back."

:derpytongue2:

Woo hoo! I’m always glad to be at #1- but more importantly I’m glad you liked it :D

Now that Starlight knows about the rise of the technomancers leading to her genesis, there's a very important question that needs answering: Did Mama Trixie meet a dark fate and perish? Or did she return to her native timepoint? Or is she still kicking around somewhere in the present? :pinkiegasp:

Excellent job on this one-shot. Definitely an entertaining job on the exchanges and characterizations here. The Whole Plot Reference to the Terminator was quite well done. And, yeah, I could see where Future Trixie could go back to try to protect her future best friend's father, Firelight and Future-Trixie - shall we say, got a bit closer than either of them planned and, after a bit over eleven months of fending off technomancers, Starlight was born.

All in all, it's both funny AND makes you think.

“I bet it’d take like, 22 minutes to tell, so we’ll leave that for later.”

I'd watch that.

I wonder what everyone reactions would be if Starlight and Trixe were dating, and they all ready had sex multiple times till this point.:rainbowlaugh: Good thing they're just friends or this will be really akward.

No mention how a below average stage mage like Trixie spawning the most powerful unicorn ever since Starswirl?

I knew it was going to be Trixie - - - - - , but that didn't spoil the reveal. Good job.

Good story all around. I loved all the fourth wall breaking meta jokes. Thanks for a fun and funny story to read.

-Coco the Bearded:twilightsmile:

... What would have happened if Starlight never stopped Trixie from feeding herself to the Manticore?

What a hell of a twist! Such events like that happening to anyone would probably make 'em all shocked! Poor Starlight! Gotta say, always am impressed to see these sweet and humorous lil stories ya make! They're all just so good and such a treat to read! Hope ya don't mind, but I just NEEDED to make a reading on this fantastic bundle of words ya made!

(I don't mean to offend anyone with this comment in any way!)

I thought for sure Twilight was gonna pull a Vader on Starlight. Oh well, this is probably for the best~

“Of course we had our standoff over that scroll...But soon after I arrived in Ponyville, I traveled through time myself. It’s a long story,” she quickly waves off, “I bet it’d take like, 22 minutes to tell, so we’ll leave that for later.”

I’m guessing that’s an “It’s About Time” reference?

At least it wasn't Flurry Heart

Starlight's mother... is TRIXIE!? :pinkiegasp:

10346415
Now we need a sequel where a terminator style future Spike comes back to hunter down Starlight.

Starlight: "Her!? But we... did things..."

Always a great pleasure to have you read my stories!

And- you work fast! :o

I'm so sorry

LIES AND SLANDER!!!:pinkiegasp:

I really want a sequel to happen, where they meet up again after Trixie has gone back in time

This was a fun reading. And the reference to Terminator was simply hilarious! Trixie being the mother of Starlight, how... how dare you XD

It's like the story equivalent of popcorn. It's exacactly what I wanted!
