Twilight's Trouble with Time Traveling

Twilight and Sweetie once again were in a train. This time, however, they were heading the opposite direction, Ponyville. When they arrived at Canterlot, Sweetie Belle was hoping to walk and explore the streets of Canterlot, but after she heard Twilight's talk with Princess Celestia, she lost her desire for that. She just realised that the problem Twilight was talking about was really serious. However, she hoped that Twilight will figure something out and her sister and friends will be here again.

Twilight, however, was not so optimistic about it. Ponies in the train were looking at her wierdly, when they saw how Sweetie Belle was calming her down, while she was supposed to be calming Sweetie down.

"Don't worry, Twi. You'll figure something out!" said Sweetie Belle while petting Twilight on her head.

"What if I won't? I'll have to spend the rest of my life without my friends, ruling a kingdom of ponies who hate me because I have disappeared for a hundred years!" cried Twilight.

"Well, it will be pretty bad if you look at it that way, but not if you will do something about it!" said Sweetie. "There's gotta be a way!"

Then, the train stopped and they both went out of it. Sweetie Belle have led Twilight to the library and walked to her friends to apologise for being absent for so long and tell them what's happening.

She was greeted in their clubhouse by Scootaloo, who jumped so high at her sight, she even flew for a while.

"Where have you been?" she asked angrily.

"I'm sorry, I was at Canterlot with Twilight," said Sweetie.

"Why did Twilight go to Canterlot?" asked Apple Bloom.

"And why din't she take us with her?" asked Scootaloo. "You were supposed to go find Rarity!"

Sweetie made a really sad face. "Actually, she's dead, but not what you're thinking, it's complicated."

Her friends both sat down from the sudden sad news.

"What? How?" said Apple Bloom, nearly crying. "Why is it complicated?"

"It's not that bad, well it's not bad at all, because..." Sweetie wanted to finish this sentence but was interrupted by Scootaloo.

"Because what? How is it not bad?" she said angrily.

"Well, we have been moved to the future, to the times when she was already dead, 100 years from now," Sweetie finished.

Apple Bloom suddenly stopped crying. "It changes the situation pretty much, but I'm not sure what is worse: If she would be really dead, in our times, or... what is now."

"Probably 'what is now', because it is most probably reversable," said Sweetie.

"But, How could this happen?" asked Scootaloo.

"I don't know. Princess Celestia said that, when I was in Canterlot with Twilight," she repiled. "Let's go outside. I'll tel you all about that."

Sweetie Belle told her friends everything about what happened at Canterlot and on her way to and from there with details. She told them all about what's happening in Equestria, why did they go to the future, what's so bad about all this.

"Well, this story isn't as bad as what you said when you arrived at our clubhouse," said Scootaloo. "You wanted to scare us, didn't you?"

"It seems it's not that hard to scare a chicken like you, Scootaloo!" said Sweetie and laughed a little bit.

"Okay, calm down, everypony. What really matters right now is the stuff Sweetie told us," said Apple Bloom.

Scootaloo nodded "Why did only fillies and princesess go to the future?"

"And colts!" said Sweetie Belle.

"And this guy!" said Apple Bloom pointing at a brown earth pony stallion walking down the street with a sad face.

They both looked at her with confused faces.

"What?" said Scootaloo, surprised.

"I remember him, i once tried to sell him some apples." she replied.

The remaining two finally looked at the stallion. None of them, however, believed Apple Bloom. How much possible could it be that some normal earth pony also traveled in time. Well, unless he's a hidden princess. Sweetie and Scootaloo looked at her and smiled, thinking she's joking.

"Really! I did see him, I swear!" said Apple Bloom.

"Well then, What's his name?" asked Scootaloo.

"I don't know, why do you think I would know his name?" she replied.

Sweetie Belle smiled at her. "We can always ask!"

The three fillies walked to that pony. Sweetie started talking. "Excuse me, what's your name"?"

He looked at them, confused. "Uh, Time Turner."

"Well, yeah, I knew it. I was close to figuring out," claimed Apple Bloom.

"No, you weren't. How can you remember a pony who will be born 100 years from now?" said Scootaloo.

"Not from now, we traveled in time. You can say, um... from the day in which we traveled," Sweetie Belle corrected her.

"I'm telling you, i saw him!" shouted Apple Bloom. "Just, um, look at his name! Maybe he, like, Turned Time!"

Time Turner was looking at them all the time and listening to what they're saying and at some point he seemed to have realised something, when he opened his eyes widely for a second and gasped a liitle bit.

"Um, this may be a stupid question if the answer is no, but... Are you serious with all that talking about time travel? Did it really happen?"

"Well, yes. Princess Celestia even said that!" replied Sweetie Belle.

"And, what were you doing at Princess Celestia's castle?" asked Time Turner.

"I was there with a friend, who is her... former student." she said.

"Can I see her?" he asked. "I think I have something important to say about that... event."

"Well, of course!" Sweetie was already pulling him to the Golden Oak Library.

They knocked on the door, which was quickly answered by Twilight. While the crusades met Time Turner, Twilght was at her library, reding a lot of books about time traveling. Every book she rod made her read two more books as she was literally destroying all of the bookshelves at her home.

"Uh, Good morning. I heard you are currently having problems with some sort of 'traveling in time', and I think i can

somehow help you with it," Time Turner greeted her kindly. "You see, I know what may be the cause of your experiences."

Twilight grinned widely, almost jumped. "Really?"

"Well, yes, I think. From what this filly has told me "– Turner has pointed his hoof at Sweetie Belle –" I understand that you have experienced 'going forward in time 100 years into the future'."

"Yes. I understand that you have experienced the same thing?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, I did, and I may know the cause as well as the solution of that problem," He replied. "Well, you see..."
