Chapter 1

"Gather round every pony! It is story time!" Granny Smith called out. Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbowdash, Fluttershy, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, gathered around the old mare who was in her rocking chair, to listen to a story. The Apples were having a big slumber party with their friends. Big Mac even had friends over. They were out in the field. The girls just spent most of the day outside or in the kitchen, and Granny Smith had invited them to hear a story in the barn. A small Franklin stove was on, giving the sent of burning logs. It kept them warm on this somewhat chilly summer night."Where's Big Macintosh?" she asked.

"He wanted to stay out and work in the fields with his friends. " Applebloom answered."He said we are behind on our planting schedule."

"It isn't even autumn yet! Well, I guess it is good to be ahead of schedule," Granny Smith reasoned. "even if we are behind schedule on being ahead of schedule."

"So, you guys are on time." Twilight reasoned.

"Yes. Now, guess my age!" Granny Smith leaned towards her crowd.

"That wouldn't be very nice to do Granny Smith!" Rainbowdash was astonished.

"Granny, I think you are no older than 72." Applejack commented."Honesty."

"Ha! Seventy- two? That is young."

"Well, you must be younger than 105." Twilight guessed.

"Way older!"

"124 years old."

"160?"

"214?"

The ponies continued guessing around the room, each one getting a shaked head from Granny Smith. They knew that Granny Smith basically founded Ponyvill, but the town couldn't be that old, right? "We give up, Granny Smith!" Sweetie Belle whined.

"Granny Smith, it would be very impolite to guess your age, much less tell us! Very unladylike indeed!" Rarity said.

"Well, I am going to tell you anyways!" Granny Smith's eyes widened, looking around at the intentive ponies. She looked up at the ceiling and her hoof tapped her chin as she thought about her age. She had stopped counting about 20 years ago."Now was it 1020, or 1022?" Granny Smith mumbled.

"Your not that old, Granny Smith!" Scootaloo said in awe.

"How do you live that long?"

"But your not an alicorn!"

"Do you remember Princess Celestia banishing Nightmare Moon?"

"Do you remember Life back then?"

"Ponyvill isn't that old!"

"Do Y'all wanna hear the story or not!" Granny yelled.

A chorus of yes comes from around the room."Well, you all must settle in because it is a long story!" Granny Smith eased back into her rocking chair, and said, " How about a small snack for Y'all?"

The ponies got up, and walked to the kitchen, in the house. They grabbed an apple cookie each. they walked back to the barn, eager to hear the story. Celestia must have only had 30 minutes or so left on duty because the sun was almost down.

"Sit down again, Y'all," Granny Smith said, motioning her hoof around. There were bales of hay stacked, and barrels of apples and applesauce scattered around, and the ponies lounged against them.

"Thanks" echoed around the room, and then the munching on cookies started.

"Now, this story happened long ago, when I was just a filly." Those were the beginning words to the story that would change her life, and the lives of others.

Please point out any grammar mistakes I could have made here.

I am currently editing this story to make it better, I might even continue on with it because it is currently on Hatis, but that can change.

Chapter 3

During the day, Daddy and Starswirl would work on building the house, Mamma and I would cook meals. During the night, we would sleep under the stars. I, in my sleeping bag on one side of Mamma and Daddy, and Starswirl, on the right of Mamma and Daddy.

One night, Starswirl was not in his sleeping bag, I curious, went to see where he was. I found him, in the middle of a meadow on the farm. "Starswirl?" I called out.

"Are you that farmer daughter?"

"Yes,"

"Didn't your father tell you to stay away from me?" he asked

"Oh, he will never know!" I said. "What are you up too, Starswirl?"

"Well I am studying Luna's star placement right now, but I am going to work on a spell."

" What type of spell are you a fixin' to do?" I asked eagerly.

"Lady Smith, if you must know, It is a top secret spell even if one person knew about the interworkings of it, and attempt it, without the proper equipment, the universe will explode. Time travel is hard."

"Time travel? Sounds interesting."

" You may watch me since you are just a farm girl and I don't expect you to know this type of stuff."

"Wait a darn minute." Applejack said."He says that you are just a farm girl?"

"You Disobeyed your Father!" Applebloom asked.

"Starswirl started his time traveling spell on this very farm? You didn't you tell me, Granny Smith?" Twilight got up and trotted around, talking very fast,"Starswirl started the time travel spell on this farm! I know it by heart! Run 88 miles per hour, while using your magic to go that fast- only unicorns can time travel - you need very powerful magic, that goes in a loop type thing, which can only be produced by a special chemical that is very radioactive."

"Twilight, how do you know this? Starswirl said he would destroy the spell after it sent my little sister into the future, 1012 years."

"Granny Smith, you sister is on this farm right now! Also, the spell is in the Canterlot archives!" Twilight face hoofed. "I should have destroyed that spell when my future self-meet my past self, I knew that it would mess up the space-time continuum!" At this point, No pony was paying attention toTwilight.

"She isn't speaking English again" Rarity muttered to her younger sister, Sweetie Belle.

" Granny, I have something to confess. Remember when I showed up on the farm when I was 4?" Applebloom carefully asked.

"Yes, "Granny Smith said." like it was this morning."

"Well, I am your sister"

"What!" came from around the room. Now every pony was paying attention, even Twilight stopped her muttering.

" I am friends with a pony who is supposed to be 1010?" Scootaloo asked.

"Technically, but I didn't age," Apple Bloom said.

"Of course you didn't it's time travel!"Twilight said

"Starswirl warned me something like this would happen," Grannysmith said, her hoof aginst her forehead.

"I came up with the name Appleboom. I really am Ginger Gold." Applebloom said.

"Ginger Gold!!" Granny Smith said.

"Yes, Lady Smith, it is me, your little sister." Apple Bloom, A.K.A Ginger Gold said. She went up to hug her much older sister.

"Our parents hated Starswirl even more after what happened to you, youngin'.

Author's Note

In the story that Granny Smith is telling, she is known as Lady Smith, because she is not a Ganny yet.

Also, Excuse the whole time travel stuff

"Lady Smith, if you must know, It is a top secret spell even if one person knew about the interworkings of it, and attempt it, without the proper equipment, the universe will explode. Time travel is hard."

I am kinda a back to the future fan girl.

Chapter 2

I was a young filly, my family just starting out to start a farm. Princess Celestia sent someone very special to help our farm start out. My daddy was a little skeptical at first, so mama had to remind him that Celestia wouldn’t let anything go wrong. She to tell him “Not to bark up the wrong tree.” After that, he gave in and said it would be alright.

I remember that the day of our arrival was really hot, and we had walked for a long time. We were hoping just to live on a small family farm, 3- 4 acres at the most. We never did realize that the farm would last this long, 1012 something years later, supplying a whole town. We knew that the farm would be off like a heard of turtles, during the fist year or so. We had an old farm, that was used for generations. My daddy wanted to run with the big dogs and start his own farm, away from the “blasted oranges”, who were the next farm down. We had walked for 3 days before getting to the place we wanted to start our farm. It was out in the middle of nowhere, just like daddy wanted.

Suddenly, there was a teenaged colt, standing in front of our eyes. Hey extended his hoof, and said, " Hello, I am Starswirl, a personal friend of Celestia's and Luna's. I am pleased to meet you and help with your fist few months on your farm."

"A few months!" Daddy Sputtered. "A FEW MONTHS!"

"Yes, sir," He nodded. His hoof was still extended, but no one took it. I reached out my hoof, but my daddy stopped me. " You will not shake his hoof." turning to Starswirl, he said." Do not look, talk, touch, or stand within 5 feet of my daughter!"

"Of course Sir.

"WAIT! YOUR FATHER DIDN"T LET YOU TALK TO STARSWIRL! BUT HE"S STARSWIRL THE BEARDED! STARSWIRL!!!" Twilight cried out.

"At the time, I wasn't allowed to talk to him. At the time he was a no pony." Granny Smith said calmly.

"A NO PONY!"

"Twi! Calm down!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Granny, get back to the story, please? I know that Starswirl wasn't a big thing back then and not the nicest either, but can we get back to the story?" Apple Blom asked. No pony questioned how Apple Bloom how Starswirl acted back then, in fact, half of them were talking amongst themselvels. They couldn't believe Granny Smith knew Starswirl.

"Do you know what happened to him?"Twilight eagerly asked.

"In all good time you will find out, I am a fixin' to tell you, but in all good time." Granny Smith laughed quietly.
