Back to Equestria

June 5, 1000 c.e Ponyville

In a Flash of light the scenery around Twilight changed from that of the Mall Parking lot to that of a field and her driving into a scarecrow then into a barn screaming loudly and crashing. The nearby house's lights turned on and four ponies stepped outside towards their barn opening the door, a shotgun in the older stallion's hooves, to see the thing that crashed into their barn.

"What is it Pa?" the eldest mare asked.

"it looks like a Carriage, without ponies pulling it!" the stallion said.

"That ain't no Carriage, Look!" said a young colt and showed his family a magazine with a science fiction alien and it's space craft that looked oddly similar to the car. Then Twilight stepped out covered in her magical radiation suit and the ponies screamed and ran before closing the door.

"Hey wait!!" Twilight said but tripped on a bale of hay. Only to flip up the mask and see a cow eating. She then got up again and exited the barn calling out.

"Excuse me um, Sorry about your barn" only to dodge a bullet from a shotgun shell going through the barn door to which she fell backwards shocked.

"It's mutating into Pony form shoot it! Shoot it!!" came the colts voice. Twilight hid behind the door of the barn as the Stallion shot again and yelled,

"Take that you mutated slug!!" Twilight quickly got out of there getting back into the mustang and drove off, hitting a small sapling of a cross pollinated apple and pair tree.

"My Tree!!" the Stallion cried out and shot at the car only to hit the mailbox as the car continued to drive off.

As Twilight drove on she tried to calm down

"Ok Twilight It's just a dream a very intense dream..." she said then looked to the right and saw a sight that shocked her to her core. The Castle was gone as well as the housings surrounding it. She then saw a carriage come by and tried to slow them down but the ponies were too scared and kept going.

"This isn't happening." she said and went back to the machine and tried to turn the Circuits on but they turned off as soon as she did then an alarm sounded and she turned to see a gauge she didn't notice saying the Magic was gone from the machine. Frustrated she grabbed her things and started walking down a road with a sign saying "Ponyville 2 miles."

When Twilight arrived in Ponyville she was shocked at what she saw. Old carriages, record shops, the Ponyville theater showing old movies, but the one constant was the clock tower that also served as town hall.

"This has got to be a dream.." she thought then saw a newspaper in the trash and grabbed it looking at the date: June 5, 1000.

'It can't be....I'm in the past.' she thought then saw an old sight. The library. She quickly ran towards it and entered.

"Hello miss, whoa Nice wings!" A mare behind the counter said.

"I'm sorry?" Twilight asked.

"You're wings! Oh wait they're fake aren't they? Nopony has a horn and wings except the Princesses and they're only Fillies."

"Um, yeah...fake..may I see your Ponyville legends section?" Twilight asked.

"Of course it's in the back." the mare said.

"Thank you." Twilight said and quickly went to the back of the library. She then scanned the books title's to find one she recognized as "the Spirit of the Everfree Forest."

"Good you're still here." Twilight said and then walked to the front and asked, "could you point me in the direction of the Ev-"

"Did you find what you were looking for?" the librarian interrupted.

"Uh yeah. I did. Thank you." she said. Then out of the corner of her eye she noticed a small Draquoniqus with a black and white mane and tail. Then the doors opened and in walked two young guards as if they were from the academy.

"Hey Discord! What do you think you're doing?," One Academy student asked. He was a big Colt almost towering over Twilight if it wasn't for her age, "Hey I'm talking to you you Radiation freak!"

"Oh Hey Beef, Hey guys!" Discord said as if he was old friends with the three Colts

"Hey did you get my homework finished?" Beef asked.

"Uh, well I figured since it wasn't due till later I could-" Discord started.

"Hello!! Hello!! Think Discord Think! I have to have time to recopy, do you realize what would happen if I handed in my work with your writing? I'd be kicked out of the Academy. You wouldn't want that to happen would you?" Beef asked but when Discord didn't answer he reiterated his last question then grabbed him by the neck hard.

"O-Of course not Beef" Discord choked out and then was released. No sooner had that happened Beef said, "What are you looking at Sweet Cheeks?" to which one of his goons replied "hey Beef check these out! Her wings must be made of cardboard!" then they all laughed to which Twilight fumed but let it go to which Beef turned to Discord and asked "So about my work Discord?"

"Alright, let me finish it up tonight and I'll bring it first thing tomorrow morning." discord said taking a sip of his glass of chocolate milk then threw the milk in the trash.

"Yeah not too early I sleep in Sundays, Oh look Discord there's a spider on your foot!" Beef said then when Discord looked down he Slapped him in the face to which hes goons laughed as they got ready to leave, "Don't be so gullible Discord, I don't want to see you in here again!"

Twilight could only stare at Discord as Beef and his gang walked off. This was Discord?! Princess Celestia's enemy? He was so wimpy and weak! How he took over Equestria was-

"What?" asked Discord as he looked at her.

"You're Discord" she said stunned

"Yeah and who are you?"

But Twilight never got to speak as a yellow furred mare with green eyes, glasses, and pink mane said, "say what do you let those jerks push you around for?"

"Well they're stronger than me" Discord said this only made the mare huff in annoyance,

"Stand tall friend, have some respect for yourself, don't you know if you let ponies walk all over you now, they'll be walking on you for your whole life! Look do you think I'm going to be a librarian my whole life?" the mare started to which the head librarian said "watch it Index!" but she just continued to rant, "no sir! I'm going to make something of myself I'm Going to school and I'll-"

"She's going to be mayor!" Twilight said once she realized it was Mayor Mare.

"Mayor....now that's a good idea I'll run for mayor"

"A Mare mayor that'd be the day" the librarian said shaking her head.

"you watch Mrs. Keeper I will be mayor! I'll be the most popular mayor in Ponyville and I'm going to clean up this town!"

"Good you can start by sweeping the floor" The librarian, Mrs. Keeper, said and handed her the broom.

"Mayor Index Mare, I like the sound of that!"

Twilight shook her head and sighed before she looked up and saw Discord was gone but then heard a bike bell and saw him riding on it to which she took off running after him calling out, "hey Discord wait!"
