It was a day or so since the Q introduced himself in front of Arceus and the Royal Sisters. He hasn't been heard of since, but he said that it wouldn't be the last of him OR ANY OTHER Q. What did he mean by that? Arceus knew that there would be more of him. The Q being said that there was a special someone that this Continuum thing wanted back. There was obviously more of them.

The therapist and Discord shed a little light on the Q, and told Discord that he was hiding a secret even from himself. One that gives him a strong connection to the Q, but hasn't figured out what it is. Now, it has been a day and three and a half hours in linear time since the events of the Q incident. Night has fell and both princesses are asleep, living within the dreams.

Celestia couldn't believe it. One moment, she was dreaming a peaceful dream and in the next moment she and her sister were forcibly dragged into a shared dream. It was dark, and what little light that went in showed that they were in their old castle.

"Dear sister, what is this weird magic. Could this be a trick of the Q?" Celestia said.

Luna only sighed and said "Nay, the energy feels too different, it feels almost like ours."

"Is this another trick of whatever magic they have?" Celestia said.

"A trick, you say? While I love a good trick as much as the next fat person, there's no magic involved. Same for the Pokemon. But against all evidence, you still claim anything you don't know of as magic. Classic little ponies." a voice said. It was male in tone and had bits of Manehattanite and Trottingham accent in it. It was projected into their minds in an extremely similar way to the telepathy heard from Legendary Pokemon.

"Who are you, are you another Pokemon?" Celestia said in a quizzical tone.

"No, no, no. I am nothing of the sort. Don't you remember me? I remember you just fine... but I will give you the first letter of my name: I am Nathan, but you can call me Mr. N, if you may." the newly christened Nathan said.

Nathan? That's a human name! Was he-

"Once human? Yes, but I'm not connected to Arceus. A few million years or so before you were born, humans, ones that were very similar to what Mew had birthed, were the sole sentient species of this world."

"Describe the world that came before us, the one you came from." Luna said, intrigued.

"Well, for starters, the moon and sun of the current Earth are fakes, falsies that were set up when the world was knocked out of its own solar system. Due to the original sun and moon's properties and the world's tilt, weather didn't need to be controlled like it does now. No, no no. It went all on its own, like an automatic pencil sharpener." Mr. N said.

"And before you ask, no, there were NO Pokemon, none, nada, zip. Animals were very familiar and then, there was no such thing as magic of any sorts. Light magic, dark magic, chaos magic, all of it, null. No magic."

"Impossible, there is no such thing as a world without magic." Luna said.

"Sorry to say this, but there is. Earth, or Equis as you know it, lacked magic in my day. Many different species alive and extinct can thrive in a non-magical world just fine. You ponies, on the other hand, you literally cannot live without magic. If you aren't in a magical field, you'll explode into smithereens, turn to stone, or just simply fade away. Not my problem, when an alicorn dies, their power goes straight to me. Little quirk I added into your genetic code." Mr. N explained.

"You... how could you?" Celestia said.

"How could I indeed... look behind you and you'll see me." Both sisters looked behind to see a bipedal figure clad in a trench coat and a fedora. The being walked towards them as the background changed. Everything became vibrant and lush. The dark corridors were replaced by a vibrant meadow with lush grass and flowers with the occasional tree here and there.

"I... I feel something, is it one of your tricks?" Luna said.

"No, it's no trick. That place was as good as real, lost into the depths of history and never appeared in any maps because no one had ever been there, except you, me, and a few select individuals." Mr. N said.

"This place, this sanctuary, was my first gift to you, the place where you came into being."

"Wait up, our parents birthed us in this place? How did they not tell us?" Celestia said.

"I'd say you didn't have parents when Q came along and screwed things up in order to become Discord." Mr. N said as he walked around the two sisters.

"And to tell you this, once the timeline gets back on track, I've got big plans coming." Fire encircled the royal sisters, not the standard fire, but a rainbow-colored fire. The cutie marks of Twilight and her friends formed from the fire as the sun and moon rose up and seemingly fused into one body. The fire intensified and the cutie marks began spinning faster and faster, frightening both Celestia and Luna, who both held each other,

"And they involve you. You think there will be sunshine and rainbows around the corner. I thought so too when I was young. But know this!" Celestia and Luna turned to see Mr. N, only that he was as big as Canterlot Castle.

"A darkness approaches, a day will come when everything we care about will change. Until I return, I bid you adieu."

The fires calmed down, and the next thing they know, it looks like they're in the night sky, without any solid ground.

"Now get lost."

"Gyah!" Celestia shouted as she bolted awake. She looked around, seeing her bedroom. Looking around, she saw nothing unusual. Just her old bedroom with her Ninetales sleeping right beside her.

"That's the last time I eat a whole cake before bed!" Celestia said before looking at the clock.

"It's midnight, guess I'll go back to sleep." Celestia said. Looks like she'll be cranky in the morning.

Meanwhile, in the dreamscape, Mr. N wandered out of Celestia and Luna's door, still in his fedora and trench coat. Without them knowing, he placed something in their heads that allowed him to see through their eyes and hear through their ears, literally. Not even someone like Arceus would expect to find his little spy cameras in Celestia and Luna's most private and embarrassing moments that no right-minded person would look in. And as an added bonus, he can rummage through their thoughts and memories without being detected, again, since where it was placed.

"Good. The alterations Q/Discord made to the timeline have weakened enough for me to influence the dream world. I'm trapped here in the dream world, but it's still better than time limbo." Mr. N said. He walked across the door with his gloved hands behind his back. He wandered around for a while and went into another section of the dream world that Luna didn't even have a clue about. This was the lowest and deepest plane in the dream world, a place of severe prolonged comas and enchanted hyper-sleep.

As of now, this is home. With a little stolen dream magic and a few other things, he set up a nice little cottage. It was a nice two-story wooden house with a stony-first floor. The roof was of brown shingles, kind of giving that old medieval feel that he saw in his trips in the Netherlands when he competed in the Olympics.

He pulled a golden sphere out of his trench coat and looked into it. Conked out like a light, evidently not in the dream world yet.

He placed it and a nearby blue sphere into a TV of sorts and sat on a chair, holding a remote.

"Now, let's see what you have in store down Memory Lane and see what I've missed when in time limbo."

Author's Note

Yes, I know that I told you that I'd do it when ANWANW would start going back, but when I saw why he was delaying it, I'd have to break my promises, sorry.

Alright, so we have a new character, a weird dream entity known as Mr N. Not much is known about him, and his full identity will be revealed later on, but I'll talk about the new gimmick that I've made for the story. I call it time limbo.

Say, in the Grandfather Paradox, when you go back in time to kill your grandpa when he was an infant, you wouldn't exist, and time must correct itself. Anything, individuals, objects, if they aren't supposed to exist, they'll go into time limbo. But, if you killed your grandpa, you'll both be spat right back into the normal world.

But if someone else kills your grandpa, you'll both get permanently taken into time limbo until someone or something reverses the damage. So, when Q got depressed over the death of his family, he came to Earth, which was knocked out of orbit, he changed the timeline and sent tons of individuals, objects, and anything else into time limbo.

Of course, there were some beings who knew how to avoid situations, like the Time Lords. Yes, in this story, Doctor Whooves, or Time Turner, is the Doctor from Doctor Who in this story.

And yeah, expect time slips to appear.
