Background

Despite her constant reassurances to herself, Rose couldn't help but think that she really had been in three places at once. It would explain her strange dream, and maybe even how she had gotten it. So, she decides to ask a third party.

Rose walks up to Princess Twilight's crystal castle with feelings of uncertainty. Maybe this isn't the way to find out, Rose thinks to herself. No, she thinks again, this has to be the way. How else will I find out? By going back in time?

So, she knocks on the door.

Almost instantly, Princess Twilight answers.

"Oh! That was fast!" She says.

"I installed a new doorbell system that teleports me to the entrance every time somepony knocks," Twilight explains. "So, what can I do for you?

"Actually, I have something to ask you about last night. Did I, by any chance, save you from a rampaging pig last night?"

"Why, you most certainly did, Rose. And I would like to thank you. It taught me a lesson about not to pet Fluttershy's animals that are not part of the petting zoo," she chuckles.

"Oh." Rose's heart sinks.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asks.

"It's just, everypony keeps telling me that I was at two different events last night. But I don't think I went to either."

Twilight's face falls. "I think you better come inside," she says. "We have a lot to talk about."

Little did Rose know that by entering that castle, her life was forever changed by the click of the heavy door falling into place.
