Chapter 1: Still not Saturday. L???

L???-Monday

Moonlight killed her spell and frowned, The temporal line was...off, something had took a lot of power from her and stuffed her here. "Which means i am stuck." Moon said out loud. The gray unicorn, bushing a lock of blue hair out of her blue eyes, sat down outside Ponyville City Hall. 11:59:02 PM Monday, Normally she would be home with her mother by now....Normally she would have a set of wing right now with her horn....Normally Her Right ear would be blackened do a cures her uncle gave her, Now she was stuck in a side time line with half her power. She started to pace, how would she prove who she was....who'd believe her?

At Midnight ,on the dot, there was a twang of a temporal power and a feeling of sliding back in time. At 12:01:01 it stopped, Moon looked around, casting a time check spell, 12:01:35.21 Monday. Moon swore under her breath, this had to be Glitch's work. He was doing what Discord tasked him to do in the chaos war.....the first one, Messing with the time lines, making a mess then leaving it for HER to clean up....She Lit her horn ones more, she needed to find the center of this spell and, with any luck, get out of here.

Sweetie sat up in bed, Philomena Looked out the window, a puzzled look on her face, Sweetie looked out it as well....A Feeling of unease crept over her, only to be broken by Rarity calling her for breakfast. She showed Rarity her loop note and grabbing a pancake headed to Twilight's...Maybe she could have twilight help her with the toothpasteing of ponyville....again,....She was lost in thought she walked into somepony, She jumped back with a screaming high note, She never walked into somepony before, not after the 15th loop.

Moon's spell popped when a filly walked into her, she tried to recast the tracking spell, but her spell broke by a bird being ran over by the sun, now with a migraine, she turned to the filly and noted two things one, the filly's horn was glowing meaning she was using a spell. Two,The Filly had a look of terror on her face. Moon Blinked, before all this she looked scary when mad, but half the things that made her scary where gone, "I am so sorry fo--" Moon started, the Filly Jumped up and grab her with her magic, "WHAT DAY IS IT?" She asked anxiety filled her high-ish voice so it cracked.
"Ummmm, Monday... altho--" The filly let go of Moon and started trotting in a circle. She was talking really fast, if the time line had a pinkie, this filly would give her a run for her bits.
"howcanthishappen?howisshehere?haveIfinelygonecrazy?whydoifeellightheaded?" The filly said before properly passing out. Moon Rushed over and placed a hoof on the filly's horn.This was not good, whatever glitch had done, this filly was feeling it...and where did moon know her from?

Sweetie sat up,groggily, and looked around, she was in the ponyville medic center. Blinking A young unicorn, the one she bumped into on the street, was talking to red heart.
"--ank you for bringing her here, it looks like she just fainted." Red Heart was saying.
The unicorn nodded and asked "Can I get her name?"
"Sweetie Belle" Red heart replied before seeing something out a window and excusing her self, racing out the door, not noting The unicorn's sharp inhale.
Sweetie waved her hoof getting the unicorn's attention. The unicorn looked uneasy as she walked over,"Hi, Ummm...." the unicorn rubbed her leg, unsure waht to say.
Sweetie cut straight to the point. "Who are you, how are you here?"
The unicorn blinked and sighed "alright, I'll tell you, but it will be hard to swallow"
"Try me" Sweetie challenged.

"Try me" said Sweetie belle, Famed singer, actor and in one time line,Builder of Stables that Lasted Balefire blasts, although this one was a bit younger only a year or four younger then Moon. Moon Inhaled deeply "Well, I am a time controlling alicorn, who happens to be one of two daughters of Luna, and a pegasi named thunderbolt, i was cursed as a foal to turn into nightmare moon ever new moon,My talent is time magic, My Cutie mark is a temporal control gear My Full name in Moonlight Bolt, I think I got here by accident when my time spell got snagged on something" she said in one breath....Moon blinked how she put her life, it sounded like it was the most common thought of thing in the world....she would have words when she got home. Sweetie on the other hoof, Passed out again. 'Great' Moon thought 'I am alone' She Looked around, and closed her eyes lighting her horn,the spell taking form, she put her hoof THROUGH the air in front of her, she felt around for a moment and pulled out a music player, Putting the head phones one and siting, she waited for Sweetie to wake back up, and hopefully she would find the center of this mess then they all could go home.

"This is DJ PON3 With Some Sweetie Belle's new album HUSH, I hope your ready to 'Relax' Kiddys"

Hush now, quiet it now, it's time to lay your sleepy head.
Hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed.
Hush now, quiet now, close your sleepy eyes.
Hush now, quiet now, my how time sure flies.

Drifting, drifting off to sleep the days excitement behind you.
Drifting drifting off to sleep let the joy of dreamland find you.

Hush now, quiet now, lay your sleepy head.
Hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!![

Sweetie was having a nightmare, it would start off her playing in the front yard of a house with a gray pegasus, next an alarm would go off near the edge of town, she was put in the house, she would go to a window, watch 2 more ponies,a unicorn and another pegasus, arrive, they fought, then fell, the unicorn losing his front right leg, both on the ground ,maybe, dead, next she would run to her room in the house, a black alicorn would meet her, her face would burn with pain as the nightmare took hold, the unicorn would show up, do some strange spell then pass out, the loop would reset. she just couldn't get a brake even in her dream.

Next to her Moon was having a dream where she talked her mother,aunt,and twilight, into scrubbing down ponyville, then the rest of the world, with toothbrushs. Maybe the dream walk spell just downloaded sweeties memory from a short time ago into her head.....maybe she had to much cake when she left.

Chapter 2: Tusaday will brake you heart

Chapter 2: Tusaday will brake you heart

L???-Tuesday

Moon Sat at Sweetie's vanity desk looking over her notes, The white unicorn's notes where well kept at least. She had Brought sweetie belle home a little after noon, twilight mistook her as one of Sweetie's friends, and even offered to let her stay the night, in which Moon jumped on. Looking over at sweetie, Moon sighed, Sweetie was having a nightmare, The Dream walk spell had out right blasted her out of the dream so hard it rattled the empty bird cage in the corridor. Moon sighed, Sweetie even tried the easy way out...twice, it ended in mid-week resets. This was going to be harder to crack then....well, Swirl Death stopped the spell..wait, spell side effects COULD last in a object after the casters death...Moon Looked out the window at Twilight's castle, maybe it want JUST beaming friendship and harmony.

Sweetie Finely Woke with a start, looking around, she sighed. Maybe it was a dream and it was Monday again....Nope, Her eyes settled on her desk where a gray unicorn was reading HER notes. "HEY" she yelled and Jumping on her feet, she felt the blood drain from her head and she wobbled. The unicron looked up, Her Name was Moonlight sweetie remembered, an aura of light blue magic held Sweetie steady. "Hey Sweetie Belle, are you alright? It WAS alot to take in," Moonlight said Softly.
"Not the Oddest thing I've heard this week," Sweetie mumbled.
"Yeah, Luckily Twilight Let me in here with you while you slept off the temporal shock" Moonlight said "I've been reading, a little over 4 months of the same five days and then something new happening, the shock to you mind would be bad, Most Ponies would have slept for a week at least, lucky for you, you only been asleep for about-" Moonlight Made a face of thinking "- I'd say A little over 20 hours, not bad"

Sweetie Blinked, it was Tuesday? huh, she had never slept that long in the loop, she Looked at Moonlight and asked a simple question "Who are you,"
"Ah, I think I've already addressed that" Moonlight Smiled, Sweetie Shook her head.
"That's not what I meant, I was having this dream....i think I was you" Sweetie said, Looking into Moonlight's eyes, "I felt....dirty, there was pain."
Moonlight Trotted over, the smile was no longer on her face, Moonlight Got close to Sweetie there noises where almost touching. "That was when I was a filly, a dark alicorn ,By the name of Dusk, attacked me and my family, i am so sorry you had to see that, i thought i could try to dream walk with you, but sadly i think i may have just planted a memory into you" Moonlight said, then suddenly Hugged Her. It wasn't a dainty hug like Rarity gives, this was the hug of death.

A While later Moonlight had let sweetie have some time alone to get ready for breakfast. brushing her hair into place, How would she test this new unicorn?, Looking around her room, she spotted a plant in her window, she smiled as a planned formed.

Moon was sitting at Rarity's table reading a book on astrology, Although twilight didn't want to admit it at first, the moon phases where slight out of sink for this time of year, Just slightly though. Sweetie came down the stairs, with a potted plant. She set it on the table, and looked at Moon, "If you are who you say you are, make this flower grow." She Demanded
"SWEETIE!!!," Twilight said in shock, Moon smiled, knocking on the table, wood ,good. She held up a hoof to Twilight who was spewing Apogees, and said "It's alright Twilight, I can mange it"
Twilight blinked "That would take an age spell at least, only high level unicorns and maybe the Princesses could do it" She said, Moon Smiled and lighting her horn. An Aura of dark Blue Magic took hold of the place, the table started to rot mushrooms sprouting and the flower growing on to a bush, then an hedge. Moon her self was aging, ones she had cut the power to the spell, she was bigger then Twilight. Her mane was so long it touched the floor. She Turned and smiled at the stunned pair of ponies.
"Now, Do you believe me?" She said her voice sounding very close to her mothers.

Twilight needed a stiff drink, Luckily AJ had Given her a year's hard cider as a birthday gift for the past 4 years, she was over half way done with what was after the ponyville attack, and it was barely 4PM, she hated ailcorns couldn't get drunk as fast as normal ponies, but she was getting there.
"So You telling me you might know what's casing Sweetie to loop?" she asked.
"Well I'd have to be with her when she loops, but yes i have a theory" Moon replied bent over a map of equestira, She held a crystal on a string over it, sweetie watched. "And If we can find this pony, I should be able to stop it from happening in this life time" Moon said the crystal's string was over Cantorlot, however the crystal swung around Manehattan as if being pulled by a magnate, "Woah" Sweetie said
"There's nothing to 'woah' about it's called dowsing, basic magic, even an earth pony could do it, it fact it was founded earth ponies when they would look for places to dig wells" Twilight Mumbled from her comfy chair, See needed more cider.

After while, and a cold shower, twilight was ready to plan, Next Loop Sweetie would give rarity the letter, get Moon, then They would get this pony Moon was looking for. which left a few days for magic training.

L???

Friday: 11:58:49PM

"I am not letting you die like this" Sweetie cried out, tided to the bed like some insane pony

Friday: 11:58:52PM

"I am not going to die, If anything I'll end up a with a little feeling of discomfit for a minute, then done, now remember the watch the moon, alright." Moon said sitting on the chair at sweetie's vanity

Friday: 11:59:10PM

Sweetie was in tears, she didn't need this, not her NEW friend, then a thought slammed in her head....did somepont Open the window? Looking over, no the door was shut also.

Friday: 11:59:49PM

"MOONLIGHT OPEN THE WINDOW, PHILPMANA WILL MAKE A VACUM" She yelled, not wanting another death loop.

Friday: 11:59:56PM

Moon Jumped Up Running to the window, But she wasn't as fast as the thing she embodied

Saturday: 12:00:00AM

Moon Slammed into the wall. Gasping deeply, her horn lit she aged backwards at the same rate she was forced forwards, Philomena Burst into Flames reforming only to burst again

Friday: 12:00:12AM

The window was Locked of course it was, light flashed outside for a moment before going dark again, Moon tried to use her magic to open the door only to have it get eaten by the starting to suffocate again sweetie belle

Thursday: 12:00:24AM

This was not going to be pretty, Moon felt her magic being suck dry, soon what ever was happening started to feed on her life energy next.

Wednesday 12:00:32AM

Wow light headed, now holding breath, Moon Summoned a Plastic Bag from Rarity's shop and put Sweetie's head in it, Poor Sweetie was passed out. But she wouldn't suffocate any more...yet

Tuesday: 12:00:42AM

Moon Knew everything in the would that there was needed to know, even how to get out of the time loop she was in, sadly she passed this off as lack of oxygen, Good news the window finely unlocked.

Tuesday: 12:00:59AM

Moon through the Window open and the door Busted open, the air presser was to great for the latch.

Monday: 12:01:01AM - Loop:??+1

Moon Slide down the wall, now an old mare, she pulled the bag off Sweetie's head, she looked at the Moon, same as the night before, but it was corrected by Luna. She also noted both door and window where open....across all of 2 loops, maybe a 3rd or 4th loop as well....she needed some sleep. she closed her eyes and slummed into dreamless rest.

Sweetie Got Rarity to take them to Manehatten with her this loop, Even though she was grounded for having her friend sneak over in the middle of the night. Moon didn't mind the sister's squabbing, she missed her own, Looking out the window at the Passing trees and hills, she frond, What ever had took the magic and life energy was strong she nearly died a 2000 year old blank flank, In fact she STILL didn't have her cutie mark back, Sweetie's reappeared as soon as she woke up.
Moon Crossed her arms, Rarity was talking to a stallion about her new task in the next seat over leaving Moon and Sweetie to talk in "Privet", "I didn't think you would make it" Sweetie said in ah, she was sure moon died.

Moon shrugged,"Almost didn't, But I found some things out, 1). You Become a magic black hole, Feeding off every bit of magic in the area, even the life Energy. 2). The Moon does not reset with the days, Luna resets it her self 3). When we strike midnight, time flows backwards everywhere but the room your in, at a rate of 1 hour in .5 secs" Sweetie Jointed down the notes and put them in her Tardis Bag, Goddesses, Moon was going to deck that Stallion when she saw him next, paradox be damed.

It took a while to let Rarity let them go off on there own, But luckily Moonlight had said she had lived in Manehattan for a short time, and knew where it was safe, only then Rarity let them go after they promised to call her. Moonlight had her dousing crystal it pointed deeper into town, it didn't how ever take not of buildings. After awhile Sweetie started to ask questions. "So, Who is This Pony We are looking for?" She asked
Moonlight Shrugged "I don't about in this time line, but when I am from he's a powerful unicorn spell caster and inventor" She said
Sweetie nodded, "So....You thinks he'll help us?"
"Not at first, He'll need proof first, Luckily if we are when I think we are, I can prove it" Moonlight replied.

After awhile they where out side an shake, The Crystal was pointed right at it, On the door was "Cutie Mark Crusaders: Manehatten Branch" In red Paint, Sweetie Blinked, So Babs may know this pony Moonlight was looking for, So time to talk to AppleBloom's cousin.

Moon frond at the door, The CMC, Huh, she never took him a pony type kid, she walked up to the door and knocked. The Door's Peep hole slide open and a pair of green eyes glared out and a filly with a thick manehatten accent said "What do you want?"
"I am Looking for a colt, he may be able to help me with something" Moon said
The eyes wandered over Moon, before looking over a Sweetie belle, they went wide and the peep hole slammed shut and the door swung open. "Come on in, I think we could spare some time" said Babs Seed, head of CMC:MB.

Babs Lead them into the base proper, it was in an old bunker from the nightmare war. There was a bunch of stuff on the walls and floor.
"So, What can I do for yea?" Babs asked sitting at a small table, moon and sweetie sat across.
"Well...like i said, i wa--" Moon started but was interrupted by an other pony coming from the kitchen.
Her fur was a caramel color, her hair this time round was a bright pink and blue, her eyes where a hazel color. She was Specking in a tone of discussant "Babs Who's Idea was it to use my turn tables to mak....oh we have guests," She Came over shaking there hooves,"My Name is Bass Drop, DJ for the CMC:MB"
Moon Nodded "nice to Meet you Miss.Drop,"
Bass Blushed she was only a half a year older then babs "please call me Bass, Miss makes me sound old"
Sweeite shook hooves with her next, she sat next to babs.

After Bass made eveypony tea, they finely got down to businesses, "So A colt, well that's a odd request" Babs said
"Not as odd as you think, But the colt i am looking for is named Gizmo, he's Gray and Blond, Yellow eyes, short temper." Moon said
Babs and Bass Blinked then huddled together, after some whispering they nodded, "Alright but if you report him, you crusen for a brusen" Babs said and went to a door marked with a "G" and banged on it "Giz, There is some one here for yea, to young to be cops" She said.

The door opened to show a unicorn, sweetie's eyes went wide, she had seen him a dream ones. he limpped out, his right leg was made of wood, he sat next to bass.
"Hello giwls what can i do you fow" He said, his R sounds were bad sounding like W's
"Hello Gizmo, I Need a Harmonic Disrupter" Moon said Smiling.
