“Sorry, but thanks anyway, bye.”
Twilight bid the yellow colt goodbye before running off to her next destination leaving him very perplexed. She’d hoped to recruit some allies, but it seemed that fate, destiny, and or reality were currently against her.
She’d hoped to spend some quality time in the royal archives, only to discover that did they not reside in Canterlot, she was also having a much harder time getting into anywhere useful as a filly. Had she had this much trouble entering archives or libraries when she was a foal before? Or had she been granted special privileges due to being Celestia's student?
After finding the archive failed, she attempted to see if any of her other friends were around, even if they were meant/ were currently/ in training to become villains she was sure she could gain their friendship. Maybe they even had a similar reaction to the Rainboom?
Her first attempt was to find Sunset Shimmer, if the commotion and rumors at the university were to be believed, she’d researched forbidden dark magic, and disappeared suddenly into the shadows after getting caught, or more likely, through the mirror.
“Note #23: Sunset may have a quantum diary, locate and open mirror before zombie teenager army”
Her next attempt was to find Starlight Glimmer, which drew her to Sunburst, while she didn’t have many memories of him, he was close friends with Starlight, or at least she thought. While Sunburst knew of Firelight, the stallion was foal-free, and her probing was beginning to make Sunburst nervous, so she decided that asking him if he had memories of a future that made no sense would have been a bad idea.
“Observation #15: judging by significant differences in locations of families, time travel event either significantly earlier, or not relevant to the current situation”
“Taa”
On the back of the disguised alicorn, was a baby dragon, who was currently entertaining himself with sucking on her mane.
“Don’t worry Spike, it's just a minor set back, let's go home and make you a gem shake”
“Taaa”
He really was adorable as a baby Twilight thought to herself, she had been so wrapped up studying in her memories that she had very few interactions with Spike at this age. But this time, she was a much wiser pony, she decided that being the big sister she could be the least she could do for hatching the dragon … Wait, was she a sister or his mother?
*****************
On a continent far away from Equestria, on a mountaintop some might call Perilous, a Chez Lounge floated, simmering with a blue aura. On what was currently her home, fainting couch, and transport deceive, Rarity (or Rare Hyakinthos as she was called by her parents back when they could speak that is), was sulking.
Yesterday, as the sky was bathed in multicolored light, the young kirin was hit by a searing headache, she felt her body begin to burn, and memories from a past life awake. When the pain and burning died down, she very quickly noticed a new pair of appendages on her back, a beautiful pair of wings, with small fluffy scales protecting the outer layer, they looked simply divine. Then she tried to share her delight with those around her but was only met by half-lidded stares from un-impressed Kirin, and the realisation that she could not speak, which was a silly revelation, she’d never been able to speak, had she?
Rarity went to sleep that night with lots of questions like, how had she been reborn as a Kirin, were those memories from a past self, or maybe visions from the future? What was she thinking making those awful dresses for a Gala, and a couple more less important things. Fortunately, she was pulled into a stunningly beautiful realm by a foal who looked a lot like the Twilight Sparkle from her memories, of course, she still wasn’t able to talk.
Twilight proceeded to help the others conceal their new nature, except for Pinkie of course, but when she then tried to get some help from the mage but failed to get the answer she wanted, Rarity would admit, she may have slightly overreacted. That overreaction also spilled over into the waking world, where she managed to accidentally burn down half the village, along with the best bakery the Kirin had.
With the smell of burnt bread in the air, it became obvious that the mob of Kirin offered her two options, re-enter the stream of Silence, and drain away her emotions, or leave the village until she changed her mind.
As the winged Kirin floated down the path off the mountain, she wondered to herself, “What kind of dress would work best with these scales?”
*****************
In Seaquestria, trouble was brewing.
Pinkie Pie, her Sea-pony name was not known for when Oracle Shell-seer tried to divine her name he was driven mad. She still serves in the mental brigade as their most veteran explosives specialist. In Seaquestria, crazy sea ponies are sent to fight in the trench against sea horrors until they calm down, at 8 years of service, Oracle Shell-seer is the longest-serving member, this alone made Pinkie Pie a very respectable Sea-pony.
The day before, Pinkie, (so nicknamed for she was pink, loved pie, and Shell-seer wouldn’t divulge her true name), looked upon the abandoned homeland of the Hippogriffs as a wave of rainbow light streaked across the sky.
In an instant, the filly’s mane poofed up, serpentine scales formed across her body, and even though she was in her Sea-pony form, her Hippogriff wings returned to her body, and as she looked upon the Storm King’s forces occupying her other ancestral home, she grinned.
All she would need were a few party supplies, 4 judges, and a cannon.
That morning, Pinkie decided that she would also need to make some of her special brew.
Trouble was brewing in Seaquestria, and while the Hippogriffs found shelter, the Sea-ponies could barely contain their excitement.
Well now I have to vote you.
I'd like to see where Scootaloo and the rest of the Crusaders are. I'd assume that Sweetie and Apple Bloom are with their sisters, but we just saw Rarity, and there was no mention of her little sister.
Oh dear are the sea ponies explosive happy in this reality?

Maybe Sweetie is part of the family that in a timeline where no memories returned adopted an outcast Rarity (leaving open the question of which race shelters her.)
HAH
That was a good chapter goodluck with the next one. I wonder what happen to the Cutie mark crusaders I hope Twilight didn't accidently erase them.
11708515
Sadly, Rarity is an only child, Sweetie Belle does not exist.
Applebloom is in the next chapter.
Scoots, hmm, I have ideas for her, just not sure how.
11709157
So any idea on the other siblings on where they are like Big Mac, Maud, Marble, Limestone, Shining Armor, and Zephyr Breeze?
Anything for Trixie as well?
11710776
Farm,
Not sure x3 just yet.
Shining armor was in Alicorn 2.
Zephyr ..... Do I have to ? XD
So Luna the main six and discard has their memories from the timeline, Dimension, life but Celestia does not.
11720361
As far as the story has revealed, yes, Cadence and Shining Armor also lack other memories.
The Pink One anyway. Also Derpy, Shimmy and Glimmy.
It seems those who were affected by harmony magic keep their memories. I can speculate that Shimmy also remembers previous timeline. Glimmy also can, but notguaranteed because cutiemap is not elements themselves, but it was created from Tree.
Shouldn't rarity be more concerned about weather or not she has a ittle sister
