Two months of work had created the original temporal apparatus. Three months of work had failed to recreate it. The summer days had gone by, Twilight Sparkle had settled into her role as High Magician, and Sweetie Belle had taken up a hobby that involved less reading.
A pincushion in Sweetie Belle's room held a sewing needle. The eye of the needle met the eye of the filly. Sweetie carefully picked up the thread in her mouth, maneuvering its tip into her field of view. She inched the thread towards the needle, keeping her head as steady as she could. The end of the thread brushed against the needle's eye.
A loud knock downstairs broke her concentration. Sweetie Belle spit out her thread. She marched out of her room and down the stairs. Naturally, Twilight hadn't heard it. When she was in the basement with all of her books and crystals and powders and runes and circles, she'd miss a sonic rainboom in the front hallway.
Sweetie Belle reared up and pulled open the front door. Outside, she found a pair of burly griffons.
"Good morning," the griffoness said, looking down at the filly. "Is your mother home? We have a delivery for her." She motioned at a cart parked on the road.
"Sure, I'll go get her." Sweetie Belle closed the door and trotted to the basement.
She opened the basement door. "Twilight?"
Crystals crackled around Twilight Sparkle, magic flaring around the basement. The gems hummed with energy, and unnamable powers ebbed and flowed through the magic circles drawn on the floor, ceiling, and every wall. Eyes locked on a tome of ancient secrets, the High Magician of Equestria bent reality to her will.
Sweetie Belle sighed and walked across the room, stepping over the lines on the floor. She tugged the mare's tail. "Twilight."
Twilight turned to face Sweetie and the magic quickly dissipated. "I'm sorry Sweetie Belle, I didn't hear you come in. Is something the matter?"
"There's some griffons outside with a cart. They said they have a delivery for you."
Twilight perked up. "Oh! It must be my order from Griffonia! Thank you, Sweetie Belle." She pranced upstairs and out of the basement. Sweetie Belle returned to her room.
---
Sweetie Belle successfully threaded her needle. She took a sheet of fabric that her generous allowance had purchased and carefully laid it out on her table next to another sheet. She ran a hoof along the crease line, working out the wrinkles. Then, propping her hooves in place to hold her work steady, she took the needle in her mouth and carefully began to sew.
Stitch by stitch, her work progressed. Suddenly Twilight opened the door to her room.
"Sweetie Belle, come see what I put in the front lawn!"
Sweetie jerked, sending the needle into her leg just above her hoof. "Ow!"
Twilight rushed over. "Oh my gosh, are you all right, Sweetie Belle?"
Sweetie raised her leg. "I got my pastern with the needle. Ow ow ow."
"Stay right there." Twilight hurried out of the room, quickly returning with a roll of gauze, which she began to wrap around the filly's leg. "Sweetie Belle, you need to be careful with your needles. You bleed easier than you used to, remember?"
"I know, I know. I just... I want to make a dress. For when we go back. I can wear it when we go home, and Rarity will see me in it, and it'll be so beautiful, and she'll be so proud of me..." She teared up. "And... and I miss her. I just want to see Rarity again. She never knew whether we made it... whether I made it. And I want to tell her that I'm okay."
Twilight pulled Sweetie Belle into a hug. "I miss Rarity, too, Sweetie Belle." She pulled back, and looked Sweetie in the eyes. "But I'm going to get us home. And you can wear your dress, and Rarity will love it."
"Y-you think so?" Sweetie sniffled.
"I know so."
Sweetie hugged Twilight again, wincing slightly. Twilight took Sweetie's forehoof in hers, then leaned down and kissed the gauze over her wound. "A kiss makes everything feel better, right?"
Sweetie giggled. "Yeah, thanks Twilight." She paused. "Wasn't there something outside you wanted to show me?"
Twilight stood up. "Oh yeah! Follow me; I have a surprise!"
Sweetie Belle trotted after Twilight down the stairs and out the door. Outside, on either side of the front path, stood a pair of saplings.
Sweetie looked at the plants, hardly taller than she was. "Trees?"
"Apple trees, to be exact. I had to write to every corner of Equestria to look for them," Twilight said. "Eventually I discovered that Griffonia still has all of its larger plant life, so I had them shipped internationally. And now they're here!"
"And you're going to grow them with..."
"This!" Twilight pointed to her amulet, which still had the familiar blue on its upper half. However, its lower half was green, with stylized leaves carved into its face. "The plants feel... I have to show you, Sweetie Belle."
Twilight's amulet hovered off of her neck and placed itself around Sweetie's. Immediately, white wings appeared on the filly's back. Sweetie looked at them, moving one up and down.
"Now, Sweetie Belle, touch the tree and concentrate on that leg."
Sweetie took her eyes off of her wings, walked to the nearest sapling, and gently placed her hoof against the springy trunk. She closed her eyes, unsure of what she should be feeling for. Then, gradually, she began to feel it. Life flowed under her hoof, from the roots to the leaves. The slow growth of the wood, the joy of the sunlight on the young leaves.
An imbalance in the plant. Sweetie, eyes still closed, slid her hoof to one of the larger branches. The tip felt dull and lethargic despite the light. Sweetie tilted her head. If she could just shift a little of the life force... there.
She opened her eyes in time to see two leaves sprout. She took a step backwards. "That... that was..." As she shifted her weight, the grass underneath her flexed, the little leaves bending and snapping. A breeze blew the grass in an elaborate dance, revelling in the power of the sun. "Is this... what it's like to be Apple Bloom?" The same breeze flowed around her phantom feathers, every tiny eddy as clear as day. "...or Scootaloo?"
"Did you feel the tree, Sweetie Belle?" Twilight took her amulet back. Sweetie's wings vanished, and with them her connection to the plants and the winds.
"Yeah! It was... wonderful!" She shuffled her hoof through the grass, remembering what it felt like from below. "Twilight, I know I can't fly, but can you get me one of the earth pony amulets? I want to be able to do that again." She looked back at the four young trees.
Twilight thought for a moment. "It took a few weeks to get this one, so you might have to wait, but I'll see if I can get one custom-made for you, Sweetie."
Sweetie Belle hugged Twilight's leg. "Thanks, Twilight."
"Don't thank me quite yet, Sweetie Belle. I have another thing for you to try out back."
Sweetie hopped in place. "There's more?" she squeaked.
Twilight walked around the house. "Come and see."
Only grass met the two ponies behind the house.
"Where is it, Twilight?" Sweetie looked around.
"Stand over there." Twilight pointed to the back of the house, then walked to the center of the backyard. She took a deep breath and her horn lit up. Water sprayed out of the ground in several jets ten feet high. Twilight took off, flying straight up among the streams. Hovering at their peaks, she reached out and touched one with her hoof. As Sweetie watched, the spray transformed into a white fluffy mass. Twilight turned, converting each of the streams into clouds, until there was a single, large cloud hovering close to the ground.
Twilight landed in front of her cloud and pulled a hole open in the side, revealing a hollow interior. "Here, Sweetie," she said, bringing out her old solid blue amulet and placing it around the filly's neck. Sweetie's wings reappeared on her back.
"But Twilight," she replied, looking at her new appendages, "the doctor said I'm not supposed to fly, remember?"
Twilight raised a hoof. "No, the doctor said you shouldn't crash into the ground. She didn't say anything about bouncing around a padded room." She picked Sweetie Belle up and set her inside the cloud. The white mass beneath the filly's hooves flexed slightly under her weight.
Sweetie Belle gave an experimental hop, then a larger jump. Soon she was jumping as high as she could on the fluffy trampoline. She opened her wings and began to flap. She quickly tumbled out of control, but the soft clouds easily caught her.
"Thank you, Twilight! This is the best thing ever!" She ricocheted across the ceiling. "Whee!" Sweetie Belle laughed, beating her wings. She could barely control where she was going, but she didn't care.
Twilight vigilantly watched the clouds, eyes peeled for any developing weak points. She saw Sweetie Belle smile; she heard her laugh and shout in glee. Twilight Sparkle found herself wearing a large smile on her face, and tears forming in her eyes for reasons she couldn't explain.
---
The sun sank below the horizon. Twilight finished dismantling the makeshift bouncy castle, the clouds returning to the water from whence they came. She looked at the final remaining cloud for a moment, then moved it out front.
Sweetie Belle entered the house, pulling off the pegasus amulet. Twilight Sparkle entered through the front door.
The filly exhaled. "That was a lot of fun, Twilight. Thanks."
"It was no trouble at all. How did it feel?"
"It was like... I could feel the air. Feel how the wind flowed." Sweetie clumsily attempted to pantomime with her forelegs, waving her leg like a flag. "It was like nothing else I'd ever felt before."
Twilight scratched her chin. "I wonder... do you want to try one more thing, Sweetie Belle? I'm not sure it will work, though."
"I'm pretty pooped, Twilight. Can it be done sitting down?" Sweetie didn't wait for the answer and parked her rump on the floor.
"Yes, Sweetie, it can." Twilight chuckled. Her horn lit up and a small book levitated over, setting down just in front of the filly.
"A book?" Sweetie prodded it with her hoof.
Twilight laid down next to Sweetie Belle. "It's not the book that's important; it's you. Do you remember how the air felt around your wings?"
"Yeah, like I said, it was amazing! It's a shame I can't fly for real." Sweetie looked at Twilight. "Why?"
Twilight pointed at Sweetie Belle's horn. "What I want you to try, is to concentrate on your horn. Search for the same feeling, or one a lot like it."
"But Twilight, I can't—"
Twilight placed her hoof on Sweetie Belle's mouth. "Just try."
Sweetie Belle closed her eyes, putting her effort into her horn. She steadily breathed in and out. In the stillness she could just barely feel the clicking of her heart valve. Then something happened on her forehead. Her eyes snapped open. "I felt it!" she exclaimed. "I felt something!"
Twilight smiled at her. "Good, good, try it again."
Sweetie excitedly nodded before holding still. "There! There it was again! It felt like... like the wings did, but on my face!"
"Good job, Sweetie Belle! That's the flow of magic in the world you're feeling, Sweetie. It flows around us just like the wind on your wings. I knew I recognized the feeling when I first put my amulet on. Now, Sweetie, when it pushed on your wings, you started pushing back to fly. I want you to try to push back on the magic." Twilight motioned at the small book on the floor. "Push it at the book. Don't worry about the details, just move the magical 'breeze' towards the book."
Sweetie stared at the small paperback, splitting her concentration between it and her horn. The new feeling of magic on her horn flickered around her consciousness. She grunted from the effort. A hoof-full of green sparks jumped off of her horn. Sweetie Belle gritted her teeth.
The book shifted an inch.
Sweetie Belle gasped. "I did it, Twilight! I did magic!"
Twilight swept Sweetie Belle into a hug, squeezing her tight. "You did! I'm so proud of you, Sweetie Belle!" She sniffed away a tear. "Do you know what this means?"
Twilight's eyes met Sweetie Belle's, which had tears of their own.
The filly thought for a second. "Ice cream?"
"Ice cream!"
---
Sweetie Belle fell. Air rushed past her face, and her eyes watered.
The blue amulet fluttered next to her, just out of reach. Sweetie desperately grasped for it with her hooves. She tried to use her burgeoning magic to bring it to her, but her horn would only sputter. If she could just get it around her neck, she could stop falling.
The ground rushed up, getting closer.
And closer.
She pressed her eyes closed and screamed.
Sweetie Belle jerked upright with a shout. She was in her bed, in her house in Canterlot. Outside, the moon shone its light across the landscape. Sweetie wiped the sweat off of her forehead, taking several deep breaths. She unsteadily climbed off of her bed.
She walked to Twilight's bedroom and looked inside. The bed was empty.
Sweetie Belle made her way downstairs and to the basement, pushing open the door.
"Twilight?"
Twilight Sparkle had her back to her, and hadn't noticed Sweetie's entrance.
"...has to be some way to do this. I can't believe that I can't get this right. Why can't I get this right?! I have over a millenium of knowledge more than he did! I'm supposed to be the most powerful unicorn ever, aren't I? Then why can't I reproduce the Nexus? What did he know that I don't? Why is it supposed to be impossible?"
Sweetie Belle froze in place.
"Why did the Princess say I never returned? What am I missing?" Twilight snarled.
The filly whispered, "We can't... we can't go back? Then... that means..."
Twilight didn't hear her, continuing her rant instead. "This is a big joke, isn't it? Starswirl thought it would be hilarious to die before copying any of his notes! And a mule thought it would be the funniest thing in Equestria to kick over a lantern in that library the week after Starswirl died! Well HA, HA, HA! You got me good, Starswirl! I bet you're having a big old laugh at this mare's expense!"
Sweetie Belle walked closer. "T... Twilight?"
Twilight whirled around. "WHAT?" Sweetie jumped back. The anger dropped off of Twilight's face. "Oh I'm sorry, Sweetie Belle; I didn't mean to do that. What are you doing up at this time of night?"
The filly hesitated, shifting her weight. "I... I had a bad dream... can I sleep in your bed tonight?"
"Of course you can, Sweetie Belle. I'll be right up; I don't think I'll be getting any more work done tonight anyway."
Sweetie Belle hugged Twilight's leg. "Thank you...
"...Mom."

Hmm, better put a link in here somewhere...
Dang Sweetie, you clingy.
... and why was I getting feels when she was bouncing around in a cloud and learning magic? Also, despite its brevity, this was a very nice chapter. Very involved. I really felt for both of them.
Finally, I have a suspicion about how this ends.
Well darn, Ah've seem ta' o' developed an insulinic deficiency.
It's great to see Twi and Sweetie bonding this way. Of course, when they get back, I imagine Twi's not going to walk out of her life. Rarity will be in for a surprise, too.
I'm sure the dream is significant, but not why. What's going on, Luna?
THIS IS SO DAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW
Isn't it interesting that Sweetie seems enjoy the idea of being an earth pony more than a unicorn.
sweetie is better earth pony than unicorn
canon
i wanna see spike and twilight to meet again
Sweetie Belle with wings, in a bouncy cloud house. You should put up a warning about the impending insulin shock.

somethings are fishy
A. everyone who could confirm or deny celestias story just happen to not be anywhere nearby?
B. the donkey said twilight was struck down in her prime!
C. celestia who knows both what twilight is capable of and what the word 'can't' leads her to do.
D. celestias actions in court seem to show her doing everything to slow twilights research and distract her.
my conclusion is that twilight and sweetie do return and twilight is killed in an incident of some kind. jaded by the even has caused celestia to fall into depression and slight insanity. thus she pushed away cadence and luna. now celestia has her student back and she doesn't want to let her go.
I enjoy the Sweetie/Twilight relationship you're developing here.
Sad as it is, this is actually how it works with adoption. Give her a couple years and Sweetie will feel more comfortable calling Twilight 'mom' than her birth mother. Hell, by that time she won't even remember what her birth parents looked like. 3 months to 'mom' was a little fast, but she knew Twilight in the past so I guess it's fine.
P.S.
I say "sad" only in this case, as Sweetie does still have a family that loves her, but they will be replaced completely in her mind within a few years.

I liked it. There is not to much else I can say.
1970980 She just doesn't know how to be a unicorn yet, and she can't be a pegasus.
1971158 All of my want.
MOAR GOD DAMMIT MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Sweetie Belle gets to know what it feels like to be the other pony races(really like your take on earth ponies), Twilight and Sweetie Belle become closer, then Sweetie Belle finds out about not being able to go back, and finally she calls Twilight 'Mom'. SO MANY FEELS!!! I wonder how Twilight will react. Or how Rarity will react when she sees that Twilight is closer to Sweetie Belle than she is. Or how Sweetie Belle's real parents will react when they hear Sweetie Belle talk to Twilight and call her 'Mom'. They will hear her say it because Twilight and Sweetie Belle will come back. Unless you read this comment and decide that you're going to make me cry by not letting them come back or they'll die because the apparatus doesn't work correctly or- *takes a deep breath* I better just stop typing now.

Shouldn't Sweetie be going to school? Or at least making friends her own age? It's not very healthy to send a child into the future and keep her isolated all the time.
Daaaaawww Sweetie called Twi mommy. Right in the feels man. static4.fjcdn.com/thumbnails/comments/Oh+god+that+gif+gave+me+so+many+feels+_741520be50cb5d85bbc6c9033cdc0539.gif
Well that escalated quickly :P
1971120 Woo! It seems we're on the same page! I hope that she does stay, though. To prevent what happens.
I'm really liking these updates, they're frequent, and have a nice length to them. Honestly, I wish I could write that fast.

Woah now! Didn't expect to see that linked here.
... Gosh, I really need to finish the third chapter.... But there are so many good fics to read!
1971120
This, why does this feel so hauntingly correct?
I was kinda thinking about something like that myself, that Twilight does make it back, but Celestia keeps the evidence away from her in order to prevent a classic time paradox or something. All this technological progress is actually Twilight's own design, based upon what she saw in the future!
i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/200/431/sweetieception.png
Then she learns that Twi is her mom maybe... big day. MOAR
1971192
The main thing "preventing" her from being a magically enhanced flying unicorn is the increased risk of injury and internal bleeding if she crashes. If she gets enough practice time under extra supervision and protection (bouncy cloud castle) to learn to fly properly, she should be able to safely use the pegasus amulet as long as she avoids taking unnecessary risks.
Of course, making sure Sweetie does not take unnecessary risks (or borrow the amulet from behind Twilight's back) is easier said than done... so my bet is that Sweetie will fly (outside the bouncy castle) whether Twilight wants it or not, it is only a matter of when. Unless Twilight manages to duplicate the Nexus first, which seems unlikely.
i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/308/031/880.gif
This was great! I loved this chapter so much!
And trees. Trees and clouds in Canterlot where there are none anywhere else in Equestria, right on Twilight Sparkle's front lawn. I can imagine the other Canterlot ponies when walking by the outskirts will end up stopping and staring at what the 'eccentric' High Mage is doing.
I also wish to see Luna appear in the next chapter. If it has been three months since they arrived in the future, I am sure that enough time has passed for Luna to come down and see Twilight Sparkle again, or for Twilight to go to the Moon!
May the Grace of the Valar Protect You

It's kinda soon for her to call Twilight "Mom". She's grown up with her loving family, and it's very hard to switch mother figures like that. Especially since she only recently found out it was impossible to get back. I know you meant it to be a sweet moment, but it's just really weird, because people don't start thinking of friends as mothers like that. Especially children, who don't just forget about their mothers.
I do hope that was not resignation from Sweetie when she said that.
Update already? Sweet. Now to read said update...
The "Nexus"................would I be correct in thinking it's a mass center/hyper-condensed core for storage / manipulation of all conceivable types of magic i.e. earth / pegasus / unicorn / alicorn / wild / chaotic / natural ect...
My theory:
The crystals that Twilight set up focus, draw in and help regulate the magics the "Nexus" collects passively, and then user(s) harness said energy. The difficulty is dependent on the user attunement to the required magics (not including the sheer power of the spell) i.e. a super spell requiring natural and the pony magics is easier for a pony to draw the utilize then say a Draconequus whom would be better at wild and chaotic magics. Which is why trying these things Nexus free requires obscene scale of everything and the muli-functions that are put on the crystals and the user lead to failure every-time or every-time so far.
The problem and major success of the Nexus is that it not only draws the magics it then transfers the magic in to sustaining it's self instead of the magics going haywire and dispersing / destroying each other which leads to nothing impressive until the magics are released which is part of the reason the crystals are required in the first place to allow what is needed to escape and safely bleed the excess out of the Nexus to keep it in balance.
......am I close and if not did you at least get a good laugh?
sorry this has been burning in my head and i had to find out

Well, the exact operation of the apparatus isn't really relevant to the story, but I think it goes a little like this:
Sending Twilight through time is easy. Receiving her on the other end, that's the tricky part. The apparatus has to be there to get her, as the other end of the time 'portal'. And for that to happen... well it has to be there to receive itself, leading into a chicken and egg problem.
The solution is a magical clusterf***, pulling in multiple branches of magic just to cover the limitations of the others. The end result is a device so loaded with magical power and spells that the time machine is a magician in own right. It's casting spells at the same time Twilight is, resulting in the whole kit and kaboodle shifting through time.
As the machine and the pony are two different kinds of beings, they use magic in fundamentally different ways. The Nexus is the interface between the two, the bridge between Twilight and the apparatus. Without it, the magical efficiency would be so poor that Twilight would need far and away more power than a pony's body is capable of producing. It'd be like trying to bench-press an aircraft carrier.
Or something like that.
This has been your irrelevant nerdery for the day.
Nice job, if all goes well Twilight might be able to crack the nexus.
1971796 thank you i've been wondering bout that and as far as relevance i didn't expect it to be
thanks for the time i'm eagerly waiting for your next chapter

It's been three months since they arrived, and it seems as if Twilight is the only pony that Sweetie has any sort of contact with. And she has had to call Twilight 'mom' whenever she she is with anypony else. I don't think it is too farfetched.
The fact that time travel is involved in this fic means that I can't speculate without driving myself crazy.
How disappointing.
1971917
Oh well I thought that before I remembered there was another chapter.
Sweetie Belle is keeping things interesting... not only does she take to heart the restrictions set for her, she behaves and adapts to situations like a pony twice, perhaps thrice her age. The level of maturity she displays at Twilight's rant and subsequent outburst shows that she may be a major factor in the two characters' ability to get home, if at all. This new mother/daughter relationship between the main characters seems unique, and SB learning to draw out and control her magic is something I'd like to see more of.
Who knows, Sweetie Belle might be the next 'most powerful unicorn Equestria has ever seen'. It'd show flexible creativity in your story if she ended up being the one to get herself and Twilight home. After all, it wasn't just Twilight that defeated Nightmare Moon, Discord, the changeling army, and Sombra; she has always had help from her friends and Spike in the times that counted most.
The time jump was unexpected, but I like how you played it off. It flowed well into this chapter where we see Twilight really taking in not only the mom roll, but also doing things to bring back a little of old Equestria back. It brings a sense of longing for us readers and I really feel Twilights desire to return home. Of course that brings plenty of questions as to how that's going to work .
The clouds brought a nice idea, as well as the Apple Trees, like Twilight and Sweetie Bell are making their own version of ponyville right in their little mansion. Its a good feel.

Eeyup.
Reading all the time travel theories here has led me to believe that Twilight can only travel back in time to the point when that apparatus's Nexus was powered, so when completed, if she attempts to travel back in time, she would only go as far back as when the new Nexus was charged. She would need to connect the old apparatus with the new one to attempt any travel upon which she arrives anytime between when she first left Past Equestria and she first arrived in Future Equestria.
Perhaps Celestia is hiding something, like how after three months, she doesn't even contact her equal-in-command Luna, or Twilight's only known family member, Cadence. Since they are all princesses, they all have the right to know. Hell, and even missing out Spike is more electricity for the fan upon which shit is to be thrown at. Maybe Celestia is digging her own grave as the uninformed Dragonian ambassador goes on an emotional rampage through Equestria looking for Twilight, not to mention the recently emotional bi-polar princess and her Lunar Army. And when Twilight finds out Celestia's plans, thou shit shall fly into thus fan.
Brilliant. This is so beautiful.
you are making me misty eyed in public
A lot of theories here.
But keep in mind Twilight has met dignitaries from around the world and has contacted many nations to acquire her trees.
Information does not appear restricted in any way.
Cadance may merely be as busy as the other princesses or may be reluctant to encounter a living reminder of the love she outlived.
Luna runs her own kingdom as well and there is obviously an open invitation to Twilight. Since travel and communication to and from the moon is not regulated Luna has undoubtedly heard much of Twilight's return.
It's Twi in her apathy to her new age who has not bothered reaching out in my opinion.
D'awwwww~
This better have a happy ending!
I wonder if it will end at the same place as the beginning Twilight and Sweetie Belle vanish into the future and as the Mane 5 walk away, a now slightly older Twilight and Sweetie Belle appear.
You can speculate about why Twilight hasn't gone out and seen more of Equestria, but I think her very telling comment about Ponyville can be extended by inference: If Ponyville is no longer Ponyville (to Twilight), then Equestria is no longer Equestria in her eyes. It occupies the same space, but it's not the same place, very much like going back to your childhood home and seeing it in your thirties. I did that. I instantly regretted it.
It is any wonder she's trying to go back to what she KNOWS is home?
Love the way you described earth pony powers.
Passed over this story a couple times before giving it a try, now it is one of my favorites.
Keep up the good work.
