Chapters Futuristic Ten: Buck to the Future *CANCELLED*
KABOOM! Let's Investigate!
It was a regular day in Equestria. As was in Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle was taking care of her royal duties, Pinkie Pie was working her shifts at Sugarcube Corner, Applejack was doing chores at the farm, Rarity was making dresses at the Carousel Boutique, Fluttershy was taking care of her animal friends, Rainbow Dash was being awesome Rainbow Dash, and Spike went of to help the Cutie Mark Crusaders with their antics. All was well. All was happy.
The Mane 6 were finishing up their jobs, and Spike was returning to Twilight's castle, no longer needed by the CMC. Spike came in, and just as Twilight was putting one of her books on its proper shelf, a loud, flesh-piercing sound was heard, accompanied with a bright white light that could be seen from Canterlot.
KABOOM!
A giant explosion rocked the land, blinding all the ponies, including the Mane 6.
Twilight dropped her book.
"What the hay?! What was that?!" Twilight said, suddenly startled. She blinked her eyes to readjust her no-longer blinding white surroundings.
"Ugh. My eyes!" Spike said.
"Come on, Spike. We have to go get our friends," Twilight said. She galloped off, Spike running behind.
Twilight galloped back down the hall and screeched to a halt.
"There!" Twilight said breathlessly after she put the dropped book back on its shelf. She galloped toward Spike's direction; he was already out the door.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Once the Mane 6 were gathered at Sweet Apple Acres, they talked of the strange happening in the house next to the barn.
"Oh my! What on earth do you think that was?" Rarity asked. She wasn't happy; the bright light and sound had made her snip the wrong way on her fabric that she was making a important dress with. And now she'd have to start all over! The horror!
"Ah don't know, but I say we go see what in tarnation made me spill a whole barrel of apples! Now almost all of 'em are bruised!" Applejack said, frustrated.
"I gotta agree with AJ on this one, it totally dissolved my cloud and I was woken up outta my nap with a face full of road!" Rainbow Dash recounted.
"No wonder my Pinkie Sense started to go all crazy all of a sudden!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "I was kinda expecting it, but not really. I was not really not expecting it!"
"It scared all of the animals," Fluttershy stated, "Oh poor things! They looked frightened to death! It took me several minutes to calm them down, but it's a good thing I did or the poor things would have been hiding forever."
"Well what are we waiting for?! Let's go solve a mystery!" Pinkie said, pulling a Sherlock Holmes outfit and a mustache out of nowhere.
"Come on, guys!" Twilight said, speed-trotting out of the barn after a happily bouncing Pinkie, her outfit still on.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
As they approached the site of the explosion, which was just outside of Sweet Apple Acres, they heard arguing.
"Ugh! Look what you did, Kamikaze!"
"What are you talking about?! It was all Violet's fault!"
"My fault?! You really are a lost cause, aren't you?"
"Can we all just talk this over or something?"
"NO!!!" a few voices shouted in unison.
"Ah agree with, Ivy here; it's no use! How are we supposed to figure out where we are if we're just arguin'?"
"Aww, come on! It can't be that bad! We get to go on an adventure now!" a merry voice giggled happily.
"Can't be that BAD?!! For all we know, we could be thousands of miles from home!!! And saying it can't be that BAD!!!??"
"Seriously, dude, give her a break! She's just trying to be optimistic!"
The Mane 6 arrived at the scene.
There, standing in front of them, were ten fillies and colts, somewhere in there adolescent years, but definitely not grown up.
Twilight cleared her throat, catching the foals' attention.
"Ahem. Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle. These are my friends: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy!" Twilight said, pointing to each mare, "We heard a loud explosion and were blinded by a mysterious light tha-"
"Mysterioussssssss!" the detective version of Pinkie Pie said, somehow semi-floating. She slowly sunk back down, rubbing her hooves together and holding out the 'S' in 'mysterious'.
"Oh hey Mom!" the middle-aged filly with the merry voice said.
"Mom?" Twilight asked, confused.
"No, not you, silly! You're my Auntie Twilight!" she said.
"What do you mean, 'you're Auntie Twilight'?"
A whiteish-blue pegasus colt flew down and examined the Mane 6.
"You look different," he suddenly said.
"What do you mean 'we look different'?" Twilight inquired.
"I dunno. You just do," he responded.
"Like they're older?" the pink filly asked.
Another same-colored pegasus filly flew and landed beside her (possibly) brother, from the looks of it.
They looked at each other, then thought for a moment.
"Exactly!" they suddenly said at the same time after a minute of silence.
"What do y'all mean 'we look younger'?" Applejack asked.
"You ask too many questions," one of the pegasus siblings stated blandly.
"Flight! That wasn't very nice!" a filly with pink hair and dark, dark green streaks in it scolded.
"Oh I'm sorry, Mother. I'm a grounded?" the whiteish-blue colt named Flight said with a smirk.
"You do realize that our moms are standing mere hooves away from us, right?" an orange filly said.
His eyes suddenly widened.
"Shoot!" he said, trying to fly away as another, violet-colored alicorn used her magic to hold him back by his tail with a smirk.
It was then that Twilight noticed her wings. An alicorn .
Then another.
And another.
And another!
She gasped. Four alicorns?! How was that even possible?! She'd never seen them, or even heard about them!
"What is it, Twilight? Is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked, concerned.
"They're... they're... they're alicorns! " Twilight exclaimed.
Rarity gasped.
"Oh my! She's right! Those four over there!" Rarity said, pointing at the three fillies and one colt who have both wings and a horn.
Twilight quickly walked over went into full 'Twilight Sparkle the Scientist' mode.
"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. OH MY GOSH! I've never seen you before! Where are you from? Who are you? Were you born an alicorn? Are you the ones who caused the explosion?! If so are you even from around here? Do you know about the other alicorns in the world? What's your names? When were you born? Are you relate-"
Twilight was interrupted by a certain dirty orange hoof to the mouth.
"Ya done, sugarcube?" Applejack asked. After a few seconds, Twilight answered.
"Mm-hm," she said, taking the farmer's hoof out of her mouth. Jeez Celestia, she didn't think that was sanitary at all.
"Uh... Mom, are you okay?" the violet-colored filly said, dropping the pegasus colt to the ground.
"Yeah, you're acting weird," the male alicorn said.
"But I thought everyone was acting weird!" the happy earth pony of the young group said.
"Wait! Why did you just call me 'Mom'? Is this some kind of prank? Who are you kids?!" Twilight asked.
"Yeah... 'Cause you're our mom," a pinkish-purpleish alicorn said.
"No I'm not," Twilight said, "I don't have a spouse, let alone children! "
"What are you talking about? Are you feel alright?" the alicorn colt asked. Twilight was suddenly frightened.
For what scared her the most was...
He looked at her with true concern.
Twilight slowly opened her mouth.
"Do you know what year it is?" she asked with caution.
"Okay, now I know that something's wrong!" the whiteish-blue pegasus filly said.
"Yeah, it's 2036!" the pinkish-purpleish alicorn said with a face that said 'duh!' .
"Oh no," Twilight said frantically.
"What?" the filly asked.
"You're wrong."
"WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" she suddenly burst at the Element of Magic.
"You're wrong. It's 2015," Twilight Sparkle said.
The filly's eyes suddenly.
"Oh. My. Freaking. CELESTIA! The spell must've transferred us an entire two decades in the past!"
"We have to get you ten back to the castle and see what's up with you guys!" Twilight said.
"Are you kidding me?!" the pegasus colt named Flight said.
"WE HAVE TO GET BACK HOME!!!" the ten said in unison.
Futuristic Ten: Buck to the Future *CANCELLED*
"OH MY CELESTIA!!!!!!!!!" the pinkish-purpleish alicorn screamed.
"Okay! Just calm down! We can figure this out! Let's just go back to my castle and talk this over so we can get you back home!" Twilight tried to reassure the screaming alicorn, failing miserably.
"CALM DOWN?!! YOU'RE NOT THE ONE STUCK A DECADE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN!!!!"
"But we can't get you back home until we find out who you are and what spell you used!" Twilight pointed out.
"She's right, Kamikaze," the so far quiet pegasus filly with pink hair and very dark green streaks in it said.
"Ya gotta stop freakin' out or yer gonna just tire yerself out!" the dark brown colt of the group said.
The screaming alicorn named Kamikaze stopped, breathless. She exhaled strongly.
"Too late," she said, panting.
"Come on, lets get back to Ponyville," Twilight said, the young party of ten following the Mane 6.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Once all sixteen ponies got to the castle, Twilight sat the young ones down at an elongated table: the future ponies on one side, the present ponies on the other.
"Okay, first things first: you tell me your names," Twilight said.
"Hi. I'm Kamikaze," alicorn filly that was screaming just about fifteen minutes ago said. She had a pinkish-purpleish coat, along with blue eyes and a navy blue and violet mane. Her cutie mark was a magenta vortex.
"Hallo! I'm Constellation. I'm Kamikaze's twin brother, as well as these two dorks over here," Constellation said. Twilight knew him as the alicorn colt. He had a dark blue coat, a navy blue mane, and sparkling blue eyes. His cutie mark was a constellation.
"Yes, I'm adorkable! The adorkable Andromeda," she said. Andromeda had an orange coat, dark blue eyes, and strangely enough, Twilight's mane. Her cutie mark was a book over a shield.
"Violet Galaxy. Nice to meet younger you!" the final alicorn said. Living up to her name, she had a violet coat, purplish-bluish eyes, and a navy blue mane (wassup with the navy blue, guys?). Her cutie mark was a spiral galaxy.
"Um, I'm Forest Ivy. But can call me Ivy if you want," the filly pegasus said. She was yellow, and had a pink mane with very dark green streaks in it. She also had tealish-greenish eyes and a cluster of trees as a cutie mark.
"And I'm AWESOME! Name's Flight," the whitish-bluish colt from before said. He had a mane that consisted of a variety of different shades of blue, and he had magenta eyes, as well as a winged tornado for a cutie mark.
"Don't listen to him; we may be twins, but everypony knows I'm the better one! The name's Rainbow Sky, but you can call me Sky," Flight's twin sister said. She also had magenta eyes, with a coat to match her brother's, except she had a rainbow mane. Her cutie mark was a winged lightning bolt, with a rainbow spiraling around it.
"What are you talking about?! There is no way you're better!" Flight said.
"Yeahuh!" Sky said.
"Nuh-uh!" Flight countered.
"Yeahuh!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yeahuh!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yeahuh!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"SHUT UP!" Sky retorted.
"Troll!" Flight said.
"Stupid wench!"
"WESEAL CHUMP!"
Sky back-hooved Flight straight across the face.
"ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH! I don't even know all of your names yet!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Y'all should be ashamed of yerself. Look atch'a! Slappin' each other and callin' each other names! That's no way to introduce yerself!" an earth pony colt scolded. He turned to the Mane 6.
"Sorry about them. Ah'm Honest," Honest said, sticking his hoof out. Twilight shook it. Honest was dark brown, had green eyes, blonde hair, and his cutie mark was the apple-shaped crystal amulet from the golden necklace representing the Element of Honesty.
"I'm Cheesecake!!" the filly with the happy aura said. She was light pink, and her mane was brown with pinkish-red streaks through it. She had blue eyes and her cutie mark was a slice of strawberry cheesecake.
"And I'm Jewel," an elegant young mare said. She had a white coat, a dark, purplish-bluish mane, and blue eyes. Her cutie mark was a emerald, ruby, diamond, amethyst, sapphire, and gold in one big cluster of gems.
"Okay, so Kamikaze, Constellation, Andromeda, Violet Galaxy, Forest Ivy, Flight, Sky, Honest, Cheesecake, and Jewel," Twilight clarified.
"Yup!" they said.
"Okay, next question: where are you from?" Twilight asked.
"The future. Here. In the future," Constellation answered.
"Okay. When were you born?" Twilight asked.
"In the the years 2023 and 2024," Andromeda said.
"This is like Jeopardy!" Cheesecake said.
"Huh?" the Mane 6 said in unison.
"It's a thing of the future," Sky said.
"Well then! Last question-"
"Awww! It's ending already?! But we were having so much fun!" Cheesecake interrupted.
"Agreed!" Pinkie Pie said, her outfit and mustache now off. Twilight glared at them.
"Ahem! Last question: why did you call us 'Mom' and 'Aunt'? Are you our future children or something?"
"Yes," the ten foals said in unison.
"Well then I'll add one more: Which one of us is your mother?"
"You," Kamikaze, Constellation, Violet Galaxy, and Andromeda said in unison.
"Wait... all four of you?" Twilight asked, astonished. She knew these weren't pranksters; she could sense their alicorn magic. Upon hearing this, she sensed just how powerful they really were; if they weren't screwing her over, they came from her, pretty much the most magically powerful pony in Equestria, and were also born alicorns. You didn't want to get them on your bad side.
"Yup! We're quadruplets!" they said with smiles on their faces.
"No way. That's not possible!" Twilight said, refusing to accept the fact.
"Oh, we both know it's possible!" Kamikaze said.
"Oh boy. Alright! What about the rest of you?" Twilight said.
"Applejack," Honest said. Flight and Sky just looked at each other then back at the Mane 6.
"Rainbow Dash!" they said in unison.
"Fluttershy," Forest Ivy said.
"Pinkie Pie!" Cheesecake said, jumping up and hugging the Element of Laughter, who returned the act of affection.
"Rarity," Jewel said. Rarity smiled.
"So... who are your fathers, hmm?" she said, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Sorry, can't tell you or we might cease to exist," Violet Galaxy said.
"Aw, man!" Pinkie Pie complained.
"Hmph! I agree! And I was hoping for some gossip!" Rarity concluded.
"Well, in the mean time , eh get it? We'll have to find out how to get you guys home!" Twilight Sparkle said.
"Right!" Kamikaze agreed.
Twilight looked at Spike, who had been sitting there silently, and now she knew why.
"Nice! That's my dragon!" Twilight said as she was handed a long parchment scroll, filled with notes Spike had been taking on the futuristic ponies.
"It's always good to take notes!" Spike said, smiling.
Twilight skimmed through the paper, holding it up with her magic.
"Hmm, something's missing," she said.
"Ooh! Another mystery!" Pinkie said, whipping out her mustache and placing it upon her face. Pinkie immediately zoomed around, analyzing the ten young ponies closely... in a literate way. She grabbed, sniffed, and poked at them with her eye (how she did it, nopony knows; she's Pinkie Pie).
Finally, after her strange movements and actions, Pinkie zoomed back to her seat at the table, looked at the four alicorns, and said, "Welp! You used a spell but it went totally crazy haywire and you also had a tiiiiiiiiiiiiny magic surge because you're an alicorn but you're not fully developed yet and it's uncertain whether it was you, you, you, or you that actually conducted the spell and made this giant mess but all you know for sure was that you were trying to complete a major teleportation spell to the Crystal Empire *GASP * and back and your friends came to watch but they came to close when your spell did go haywire and since the timezone is slightly different in Crystal Empire you had to also activate a time spell and that's what made the original spell go haywire and since you have powerful magic you were accidentally teleported like ten years back into the past and then you all started arguing and the rest is history! *GASP * Eh, get it, history? Haha!"
Everypony just stared at Pinkie Pie.
"But... how...." Constellation face hoofed.
Spike was sitting next to Twilight, still writing ferociously, taking notes of Pinkie Pie's impossible explanation.
"Well it doesn't matter," Twilight said, "At least we know your story and that's one more step to getting you guys home!"
"Yeah! And besides, this is gonna be a piece a cake!" Rainbow Dash said with determination.
"Not exactly," Twilight responded, "From my calculations, this actually puts us back ."
"What?! But how?" Rainbow asked.
"According to my calculations, not only do we have one to two weeks to get them back home because the time connection will close, but it'll be almost impossible!"
"Um, excuse me, but, um, how?" Fluttershy asked politely.
"What do mean 'how'?" Rainbow asked, subconsciously getting in her face. Fluttershy winced.
"You know, h-how is it almost impossible?" she asked timidly.
Twilight used her magic to pull Rainbow Dash back by her tail.
"Well... the space time continuum is exhausted from the event, and since there was such a big time shift in their perspective, and not our's, it's acted like a tectonic plate, grinding and twisting and turning; that's what all our perspectives are doing. And, because of the event, they've created a gap in the timeline of the Universe. If I'm realistically talking here, that huge gap shouldn't mend itself for millennia . Basically, there's pretty much no way back."
"WHAT?!" the young children said in unison, panicked.
"Yup," Twilight said, content with her findings and lead on the case.
"No way back?" Forest Ivy said, a worried look on her face.
"No. No. No! Nononononono! No, NO!" Constellation panicked as his eyes turned to pinpricks.
"This can't be happening!" Kamikaze said frantically.
"Got any ideas?" Twilight asked her friends.
"Nope!" Rainbow said.
"Sorry darlin', I got nothin'," AJ said.
"Ooh! Ooh! I know!" Pinkie said, her mustache off again.
"What is it?" Twilight said, eager to hear an answer, even if it was from Pinkie Pie. I mean, we all know who solved the parasprite problem.
"Lets throw them a you're-gonna-be-here-forever-so-mind-as-well-enjoy-your-stay party!"
"Ugh, Pinkie Pie," Rainbow said as she banged her face on the table. Twilight sighed.
"Anything else?" she said through clenched teeth.
"Ooh! Ooh! I know!" Pinkie said.
"What now?"
"Or we can take this to Princess Celestia and see what she says!"
"Ugh, Pin- wait, what?" Twilight said.
"I said -"
"That's... that's genius! Pinkie, you're a genius!" Twilight interrupted excitedly.
"Really? Cool!"
"Come on, guys!" Twilight said as she shoved Spike's notes into her saddle bag, "We've got a mystery to solve!"
"Ooh! A mystery! You know what that means!" Pinkie said. She whipped out her mustache as she and the others galloped away.
Futuristic Ten: Buck to the Future *CANCELLED*
Uncle Shiny Totally Loses It
The Mane Six and the others stood before the ruler of Equestria after telling her the news, worried looks on their faces as she looked out of the window in the throne room. Her face was solemn as she looked out over Canterlot.
"We must address this immediately," Princess Celestia said.
"Ya don't say?" Flight said in a happy, sarcastic voice.
Ignoring Flight's comment, she turned to two of her guards.
"Guards! Send a letter to Princess Cadence and Shining Armor; this is an urgent issue."
The guards nodded and left quickly.
"For now, you all will be staying here. Then we will discuss the matter when they get here."
Twilight looked at Luna. The Moon Princess stood there, pondering, and a look of realization slapped her and latched on. She looked at Celestia as if she wanted to say something, but quickly stopped herself.
Perhaps I should wait... , Luna thought.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The train slowed to a stop as it reached its destination: Canterlot Train Station. Two high-class ponies stepped out, worried looks on their faces.
"CADENCE!!!" Twilight said, frazzled. Her mane was a mess, her eyes as if the stress and impatience drove her crazy...
Literally...
"Twily!" Shining Armor said, running to his little sister and her friends. Cadence followed.
"Twily... What's wrong?! Me and Cadence got the letter; it sounded serious!"
"IT IS SERIOUS!!!!!" Twilight yelled.
"Whoa..." Shining backed up holding a hoof up. He hadn't seen her this frazzled and crazed since her teacher gave her an A- instead of an A on her Canterlot State Testing (CST) science test.
"Okay, just calm down... Deep breaths, remember?" Cadence said.
Twilight followed Cadence's instructions, remembering the the time when Ms. Harshwinny came. Now that was a stressful time.
So she could make it through this one, right?
"Come on, lets go and you guys will know what's going on..." Twilight said to the two after calming down.
"More like show ya," Rainbow Dash said with a worried smile.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The ponies walked to the throne room.
"Look, I know this is going to be hard to believe, but-" Twilight was cut off by a loud cry of excitement.
"UNCLE SHINING!!!" Four voices sounded in unison.
The general's eyes suddenly grew to the size of saucers.
"Wait... Did I just hear what I think I- OOF! " Shining said as he was tackled by four giggly foals.
"Hi Uncle Shining!" a certain navy blue alicorn colt said with happiness.
"Look Auntie Cadence came too!" the filly named Violet Galaxy said.
"Calm down, guys. They aren't here for fun and games!" Twilight scolded. Her friends snickered.
"Very funny, everypony! At least I didn't have twins! " Twilight said, looking at Rainbow Dash, who was snickering the most.
"Yeah, you're right!" Rainbow countered, "You had quadruplets! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" She couldn't contain her laughter anymore; she was was on the floor kicking her legs and wiping her eyes. (
"Whoa whoa whoa!" Shining Armor said defensively, "Are you saying that Twilight has children?! "
"No she's saying I'm having four," Twilight said.
"Wait... YOU'RE PREGNANT?!!!" he said, "WHO'S THE FATHER?!!!"
"First of all, no. Second of all, that's what we all want to know. Third of all, that's what we brought you here for," Twilight responded.
"Then... then..."
"Shush it! You'll know everything when we get to the Princesses and explain everything, okay?" Twilight said.
"Okay. Yeah! Okay. Everything is going to be fine!" It was Shining's turn to be crazed. Cadence just smirked.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" she asked with a smile on her face.
Too bad that smile wouldn't last.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"You're joking," Cadence said as she faced the Mane Six. Their future children were busy playing a paranoid Shining Armor, who kept pestering them, trying to figure out who Twilight's "spouse-to-be" was.
"You don't get it do you? If we tell you who Dad is, or their dad is, then we'll cease to exist!" Kamikaze told her uncle.
"Whaaaaaat? No! I'm just curious, you know? It'll be just between you and me! You know, I could.... make friends with him!" Shining said, rubbing his hooves together and gritting his teeth. He looked worse than Twilight when she failed writing a letter to Princess Celestia, and since she couldn't find a friendship problem, she made one.
Constellation smirked.
"More like you'll strangle him to death; in this time, he's under your command," he said. Shining froze.
"Under my command??? As IN THE ROYAL GUARD?!!" he asked with disbelief.
"Eeyup!" Forest Ivy said.
"MMM-hmm!" Andromeda said, "You know him! And he's even in your regional branch! "
Shining snapped his head towards Andromeda.
"So you're telling me, that my little sister's future... spouse... is under my command, I know him, and not only that, HE'S SPECIFICALLY IN THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE ROYAL GUARD?!!!!"
Sky, seeing this as the perfect opportunity, flew in front of his face and simply said, "Yup."
Shining totally lost it.
"AaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" he started screaming as Sky started to laugh hysterically, mimicking her mother's movements and laugh. She flew up and high-hoofed her brother, who was to laughing.
The princesses all suddenly became startled, Cadence being the only exception. But she did give her husband a weird, worried look.
Meanwhile, Shining Armor dropped to the floor and started rolling around, holding his head in his hooves. Soon all the ponies were laughing, even Princess Celestia. Even the guards were struggling to hold in their snickers and laughter.
After a while of Shining Armor screaming and rolling around on the floor, he stopped, heaving, and eventually coming to a stop. After gathering his breath, he was silent, and stared at the ceiling. He made one last giant heave.
And started screaming again.
"Okay! I think it's time to calm down, don't you all agree?" Cadence said loudly, earning nods, grins, and other gestures in agreement.
After about another 20-30 minutes of calming the general of the Royal Guard and prince of the Crystal Empire, they were back on track. Although it set them back at least an hour, it'd sure be good story to tell, save Shining's future embarrassment.
"Sorry. I'm just worried about Twily," he said.
"Worried?" Honest retorted.
"Yes! Don't judge me!" he replied.
"Well you don't have to worry. He's nice, and loving, and caring, and all gentlecolt like!" Kamikaze said.
"Good... But don't think I still won't strangle him. One mistake is all it takes!"
"Well, lets forget about that, because the sun is going down, and we've got little to no official leads," Twilight said.
Luna saw her chance.
"I do know this stallion... He lives in Ponyville, why, I don't know, but he might be able to assist us," the ruler of the night said.
"Then who is this stallion? We must find him immediately!" Princess Celestia said.
"He... he is an expert when it comes to these types of issues. He is a time lord, after all."
"Yes. And?"
"He will surely help us greatly. I think his name is... Doctor Whooves."

The Message, the Time Lord, the Crazy Pink Pony
"Come again?" the light brown stallion questioned.
"The TARDIS is broken!" Rose said.
"What do you mean, the TARDIS is broken? I can't be broken!" he exclaimed.
"Sorry, but it is."
"But! How?! Tell me! How and why?"
"Well..."
BEEP! BEEP! The TARDIS went.
"What now?" Doctor Whooves asked himself as he ventured into the TARDIS, now a mess.
BEEP! BEEP! It repeated, as if it was answering him. BEEP! BEEP!
Doctor Whooves pressed one of the buttons on the control panel and a face came up on the screen. His eyes widened in surprise.
"Princess? Is that you?" he asked.
"Indeed, Doctor. It is I, Princess Luna. I have contacted you under extreme circumstances, as this is a problem only you can help us fix," the princess said solemnly, other ponies in the background nodding.
"Well alrighty then," Doctor Whooves said, "What's your problem? I swear, those Daleks can be a pain in the flank."
"No, Doctor. This is something much more dire."
"Weeping angels, then? I know just how to get rid of those!"
"No. A rip in the space time continuum. Ten ponies from the future are now trapped here in this time because of it," Luna said.
"Oh.." the Doctor said, "And how did this happen?"
"One out of four of these ponies is of the alicorn race, and she accidentally messed up a teleportation spell into another time zone. She had to combine a time traveling spell, but miscalculated, as well as had an unexpected magic surge."
The Doctor whistled.
"Well then!" he said, "I'm guessing you want me to help you?"
"Yes," Luna said.
"Very well then, I guess fixing up the TARDIS can wait, can it? I mean, from what I've heard, who knows when we're going to be able to get them home before it's too late?"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Oh my..." the Doctor said after being transported to the Canterlot Castle and hearing the full story from the future pre-teens themselves themselves, "Well, there's nothing I can't fix when it comes to time! Although this might be a challenge."
"Doctor Whooves, dear sir, before we start, I would surely love to thank you generously for all the help you are to give," Princess Luna said.
"One: just call me "Doctor". Two: it is my pleasure, princess! And for you all as a whole I would like to say that I do have a very nice companion, as she accompanies me on my adventures, but she couldn't come due to some difficulties with the TARDIS," the time lord stated.
"The what-what?" Rainbow asked.
"The-" Doctor Whooves was cut of by a certain pink mare.
"TARDIS silly! It's a super-duper cool space craft that looks like a police box from the outside, but from the inside it's all cool and time-y and tech-y and super-duper big because it's like inter-dimensional or something and it's bigger on the inside than from the outside because I guess that's just how Gallifrey works I guess, and the Doctor uses it to *GASP!* travel through space and other fun stuff like that, and to me personally it looks super-uber-duper fun to get to be in it and travel in it and yeah!" Pinkie Pie let out a big, hearty grin busted out from ear to ear.
Everypony just stared at her.
"What?" she asked.
"How in Equestria do you even know that?" Doctor Whooves asked, slightly creeped out.
"Well duh! As soon as you moved to Ponyville I made it my job to know everything about you!"
No longer was her smile happy. Instead, it was the reflection of Pinkamena, the psychopathic killer, although strangely enough, her eyes were almost unfazed.
Almost.
"Alright, darling, I think it's time for you to... cool of a bit, don't you think?" Rarity said with a slightly disturbed tone.
"But... I am cooled off..." Pinkie said, her voice turning demented after the "but".
"Uhh... whoa! Hey Pinkie! Is that candy over there?!" Rainbow Dash said quickly.
"Huh?!" Pinkie said, snapping out of it, "Ooh! Ooh! Where?!"
"Over there!" Rainbow said pointing to a random direction. Pinkie suddenly sprinted towards where Rainbow was pointing, Cheesecake suddenly in tow, with a seemingly equal amount of her mother's interest and taste.
"Wow..." Kamikaze said in a sarcastic tone, flying next to her Aunt Cadence.
"Dude! We have to try that on Cheesecake when we get back home!" Flight laughed.
"If you get back home," Princess Celestia spoke up.
"Oh yeah... right," he said.
"Well then! Lets get to it, shall we? First off: how do we get them back home? Second: how do we fix the rip in the space time continuum? And third: how much time do we have left to get these ten back home, before the time traveling and teleportation wears off?"
"That's what we brought you here for: to help us answer those questions," Luna said.
"Very well then, lets check a few things off. From my most recent calculations on this disastrous puzzle, one: I don't know. Two: it cannot be fixed. It has to heal on its own. And three: we have about a week, so we better hurry."
"Righty then! Lets get to workin'!" Applejack said with glee, yet a somewhat worrisome look was on her face.
"Yeah. Who know's how worried we are in the future?!" Twilight said.
"Wait... if you're you in the future, doesn't that mean that you remembered this whole thing? And if you're you from the future, can't we just go forward in time to get the answer to all of this?" Spike asked.
"Aha! No, we can't, because first of all, the TARDIS is broken, I guess you could say, and second of all, the only reason why Kamikaze was able jump back in time to this extent was because she had a fairly large-" Doctor Whooves was interrupted by Rarity.
"Fairly?" she asked. Doctor Whooves paused.
"A very large magic surge. She's an alicorn, and she traveled back in time. Imagine how much power it would take to do it vice versa!" he concluded.
"Well Twilight went forward in time," Spike argued.
"Yes, but my cutie mark represents magic. I'm the element of magic! Even with my power, I was only able to do it for a minute or less, and judging from the necessary correct answers to our questions, I'd need at least more than two," Twilight said.
"Well can't you just do it over again until you get all of it?" Rainbow asked, shrugging in mid-air.
"It doesn't work that way, Rainbow. A unicorn's magic is just like a pegasus' wings; both get tired. If you overuse them, you won't turn out so good."
"Oh. Well my wings never get tired!" she boasted.
"Do they get injured?"
"Uhh... yeah?"
"Well then, my point is proven."
"But that's not really the same thing!"
"True, but your cutie mark is your destiny, and your destiny is your athletic abilities and loyalty," Twilight concluded, a bit sassily.
"Whatever," Rainbow said, ending the conversation. There was a silence.
"Now what?" Violet Galaxy asked.
