Twilight and Spike were in Canterlot on official business. While there, they of course had a list of family and friends they planned to visit; One of them being Donut Joe. While visiting their old friend, they noticed a machine that wasn't there before on one of the tables. Joe explained that it was one of those fortune-telling machines, but you can only ask "yes" or "no" questions. But of course, Twilight didn't believe such an item could exist and felt the need to prove it.

This story was inspired by one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes; "Nick of Time."
