"Won't be needing that anymore!" Starlight Glimmer created and entered the time portal with 'that' in front of Twilight and Spike. "Get her!" Each incoming Starlight Glimmer came from each different timeline created by the first Starlight Glimmer Twilight and Spike saw, and thay're still chasing that Starlight Glimmer. "Spike no don't touch that!" Too late. Spike already touched. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Screaming Twilight and Spike entered the time portal. The Starlight Glimmer ocean entered the time portal.

A scream is made inside the time portal. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" As the time portal shows its spinning symbol toward the end of the portal, the revengeful Starlight Glimmer ocean wall screamed "FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!", ready to attack hoof to hoof without mercy as they fire their lazors nonstop. Twilight and Spike heard the scream and looked back at the lazor firing, fast approaching, Starlight Glimmer ocean wall. The two looked away from them immediately. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" It's clear to the two now that the time portal is their only hope of not being crushed by the weight of so many ponies.

The time portal opens. Congradulation! Twilight remembered she has wings! But she can't slow down now! There is an ocean of Starlight Glimmers moving fast! With her telekinesis, she stopped Spike from hitting the ground before catching him with her hooves! Fly Twilight fly! Lazors are firing everywhere! Spike got 'that' when Twilight crashed into it unawares. She was too busy trying to stear clear of the Starlight Glimmer ocean, and the ocean is catching up too fast for Twilight. "HHEEELLLPPPP!!!!!!" she screamed. Her help came and rescued both her and Spike, before that help rescued Fluttershy. Said help then climbed up to stear clear of the dust ocean of Starlight Glimmers. At that moment, Twilight takes a look at who is her help: Rainbow Dash, a filly, also carrying Fluttershy, a filly. Twilight still keeps holding on to Spike. before the ocean caught up with Rainbow Dash, she performed her first Sonic Rainboom. Yet it wasn't long before the ocean starts catching up to the four even when said four is flying at the speed of Sonic Rainboom. Twilight sees it all. She found the spell Spike was holding on to so tightly. She surrounds it in her telekinesis and levitates it in front of her to read it, desperate for hope. "Starswirl's spell!" screamed Twilight, before she uses the spell for their only hope of escaping the ocean of Starlight Glimmers. She closed the portal immediately after they entered it. But the ocean opened the not closed for long portal with its Starswirl's spells. She figured to not look back any longer because she does not want to see that ocean again, But as she looks forward, she sees the ocean of Starlight Glimmers in the distance, no different from the ocean behind them. And yes, both oceans of Starlight Glimmers kept firing their lazors. Rainbow needed a free front leg to do something about this, so she asked Twilight: "Take care of Fluttershy for me will ya?". Fluttershy is now in Spike's claws. Rainbow Dash flies toward the ocean in front of her at ramming speed. She moved only a few inches before time 'paused'.

Twilight sees only Spike and a dead Equestria keeping her company. She's comes to her senses on the meaning of this company. Friendship isn't paradise. It lives here too. Friendship is personal.

Fluttershy sees herself in the sky, falling. For the first time in her life, she sees her bullies being hurt by their everyday life, needing to bully her just to feel better.

Rainbow is simply sent to the white background. She finds out she's in that background. "Where am I? Where's Fluttershy? What just happened?" she asked. Nothing. Rainbow spent her last warmth with the two strangers she tried to rescue. "I know you're in here. Show yourself." thus Rainbow's raspy voice said it cold. All of a sudden, she finds herself flying in a rather familiar place, save there is no ocean sized pile of doom. However, Fluttershy is being bullied again, so Rainbow flies into the scene. Rainbow expected to see those two strangers on the way, but they are nowhere to be found. Whatevs. Time to defend Fluttershy from the two bullies. The moment Rainbow arrived to the scene, the third bully enters the scene on hoof out of nowhere and speaks: "The Rainbow has returned.". He's closest to grey black of the three colts. "With questions." said the colt closest to chocolate vanilla. "You desire to end the game." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. "Your game?" asked Rainbow. "You want to throw your flesh away?" asked Fluttershy."That can't allow." said Twilight, at the same filly age as Rainbow, Fluttershy, and the three colts. "The game must not end." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. "Fluttershy? And you two? Playing this game of theirs?" asked Rainbow. "The game is of us six." said the colt closest to chocolate vanilla. "The Rainbow must continue the game." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. "I'm done playing your word games. What did you do to Fluttershy?" spoke Rainbow. "She came to this matter herself." said the colt closest to chocolate vanilla. "There is more to the game than words." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. "You know this. You have seen it. Now you crash to your demise." said Starlight Glimmer, at the same filly age as Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, the three colts, and now Twilight Sparkle. "Not allowed." said Twilight. "You are in the chat. You remain here until you accept an allowed option." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. "You returned from the game." said the colt closest to grey black. "There's no playing in the chat. Stop fooling yourself. Know which Fluttershy you're talking to." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. ""Which Fluttershy?" There's only one Fluttershy and you know it." Before Rainbow continues her say, the three colts, Twilight, and Starlight dissapeared in front of her. Fluttershy remains. This surprised Rainbow into shock for some moments. "The game must continue. You are the Rainbow." said Fluttershy. Rainbow asks Fluttershy in her normal raspy voice. "You've been meaning to tell me this is your game all along?" Every pony in filly age appeared. "The game is of us all." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. "The Rainbow knows not us." said the colt closest to grey black. "The Rainbow knows only corporeal existance." said the colt closest to chocolate vanilla. "We are the Elements. What you met before is the Fluttershy, the Twilight, the Starlight, and the three colts whose names we once knew." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. Without their permission, their souls exit out of their not bodies and Rainbow's not body. What all of them are is revealed to everyone in the scene by the sight of their souls. "The Rainbow is not the prophet." said the colt closest to grey black. "She is the Rainbow." said the colt closest to chocolate vanilla. "Being a prophet is unnecessary to the Rainbow." said Fluttershy-M5. "She is efficient." said Fluttershy of Borg. Discord the Q arrived by the snap of his fingers. "Well as much as I love this splendid chaos, we're running out of time!" His words seem barely on time to the elements. The souls return to their rightful not bodies. "I'm sorry Rainbow. I can't do that." said Fluttershy-SAL. Everything paused except Rainbow. The real Fluttershy arrived, and yes she's a filly. She speaks as everything unpaused. "Rainbow needs your help in continuing the game. Please get her out of the ocean." Everyone settled down. "Appendix must be exacted." said the colt closest to grey black. "It is agreed." said the colt closest to chocolate vanilla. "The Rainbow is of Fluttershy but she will not find rest there." said the colt closest to caramel chocolate. "She will follow a different time path." said the Fluttershy. "We made the time path away from all existance." said the Starlight. "Please follow it." asked Fluttershy. Out of time. Rainbow is back in the time portal. A new time path revealed. She enters it with her three rescued. Make that four. Filly Starlight joined them and closed the path from the ocean. The explosion from the self destruction of Starswirl's spell, left behind in the ocean, caused the force to separate the path from the ocean. The rescued sees through their more transparent time path. Thus the rescued sees existence being destroyed, and their time path being sucked into it. The curve was enough for the path to justify making its end portal, for orbital reasons. Rainbow and the four exit the path. The time portal closed. Past Filly Rainbow Dash, Past Filly Fluttershy, Past Filly Starlight Glimmer, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and Spike are in reality: outside the forth wall of their existence. That's why, in here, the five are Filly Rainbow Dash, Filly Fluttershy, Filly Starlight Glimmer, alicorn Twilight Sparkle, and Spike. Alicorn Twilight recognizes this place. "Velvet's home." "*sighs* Who am I kidding? I can't write anything worth reading." That voice sounds like filly Twilight Sparkle. The five see her and her written story. Alicorn Twilight moves the story to reading distance with her telekinesis. "Any idea what this is?" she asked. She released it from her telekinetic grip for Spike and the other fillies to read. Filly Starlight has a clue of it. "We were inside this story." she answered to alicorn Twilight. The alicorn is in disbelief. "That can't be right." said alicorn Twilight, who reads the story again. The fillys are sad all the same. Filly Twilight in tears hugs Fluttershy. "I'm so sorry. I thought I love books, but I can't even write. Now you have to live away from a 'fictional' Equestria." "You wrote this?" asked alicorn Twilight. "And your lives." said filly Twilight. TL;DR filly Twilight wrote this story because she's this author's yet another self insert. And yet, the text that succeeds it is not a part of it.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" Starlight Glimmer created and entered the time portal with 'that' in front of Twilight and Spike. "Where she go?" "I don't know Spike, but I think we better find out." "I guess we could start with this." "Spike no don't touch that!" Too late. Spike already touched. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Screaming Twilight and Spike entered the time portal.

A scream is made inside the time portal. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" As the time portal shows its spinning symbol toward the end of the portal, the time portal opens. Congradulation! Twilight remembered she has wings! With her telekinesis, she stopped Spike from hitting the ground. Twilight and Spike landed safely. From here, things are still canon for them, until Starlight's intervention overpowered the Sonic Rainboom instead of preventing it.

Twilight opened her eyes and see Equestria destroyed with a dead Starlight Glimmer in front of her. She barely hears hoof steps. She feels herself gripped by telekinesis. The last she saw is another Starlight Glimmer before she cannot open her eyes any longer.

Twilight wakes up and so does Spike. "Twilight?" "Yes Spike?" "Did I really see two Starlights?" "I saw them as the living one carried me. That's all I know." Starlight Glimmer arrived. "Rod Serling wants to speak with you two." They have one clue of how they are seeing without light: Everything looks greyscale, a sign of natural night vision. "Well, only way to find out." Twilight said. She and Spike exit what looks like the bedroom and follow Starlight to Rod's location. They arrived too late. He's dead. This is red flag to Starlight. "Intervention's a mistake. We must get out of here. Now." Spike can't help but feel something's off. "It's as if Starlight never met us before." Twilight and Spike didn't want to live here anyway, but they had to run since Starlight is running. "The door!" said Starlight. As she opens it, the feeling something's off grows stronger. Twilight and Spike exit the door, but Starlight suddenly died before they ask her intentions. They closed the door. A pony by the name of Hodor holds the door as Spike and Twilight runs to her Zone, The Twilight Zone, in hopes of returning things to normal. Turns out it's her castle. Somewhere in it, they find something wrong with the map room, so they run to there.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" Starlight Glimmer created and entered the time portal with 'that' in front of Twilight and Spike. "Where she go?" "I don't know Spike, but I think we better find out." "I guess we could start with this." "Spike no don't touch that!" Too late. Spike already touched. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Screaming Twilight and Spike entered the time portal.

A scream is made inside the time portal. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" As the time portal shows its spinning symbol toward the end of the portal, the time portal opens. Congradulation! Twilight remembered she has wings! With her telekinesis, she stopped Spike from hitting the ground. Twilight and Spike landed safely. Familiar crystal structure strikes the road into pieces. As it grows, "This system is obsolete. Make a new one." yelled Starlight holding on to the crystal structure that is evidentially Twilight's castle. The two somehow fell through one of its windows and falls to the map room. Fighting is going on between the two Starlights. "You can't fight in here! This is the map room!" "Too late!"

"Won't be needing that anymore!" Starlight Glimmer created and entered the time portal with 'that' in front of Twilight and Spike. "Where she go?" "I don't know Spike, but I think we better find out." "I guess we could start with this."
"Spike no don't touch that!" Too late. Spike already touched. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Screaming Twilight and Spike entered the time portal.

A scream is made inside the time portal. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" As the time portal shows its spinning symbol toward the end of the portal, the time portal opens. Congradulation! Twilight remembered she has wings! With her telekinesis, she stopped Spike from hitting the ground. Twilight and Spike landed safely. They see Twilight's castle and a whole bunch of other stuff in Cloudsdale, and then seeing Cloudsdale switch to its different possibilities like a remote switching TV channels or YouTube switching its videos. Starlight greets Twilight and Spike. The ding sounds each second for three seconds. "Welcome to YouTube!" said Starlight Glimmer. "Ding ding ding ding!"

Without the help of time portal or teleportation, Twilight and Spike are back in the present. They find a portal near the map. "Everything seems to be back to nornal aside from a portal taking place of your castle." said Spike. "And this small sign." said Twilight. "Minecraft? What is that supposed to mean?" asked Spike who read the sign. "Another sign." "World Nether End? Another riddle." System shutdown.

"Hey uh, feeling a little sleepy there?*giggle*" asked filly Rainbow Dash. Twilight and Spike woke up. "So you're here to tell me what you did to make us stuck here?" asked Starlight. "You're the..." Starlight stopped Twilight then and there by her voice. "Sonic Rainboom didn't fix things. Guess there's no point in answers now. There's no going back." "Starswirl's spell! It's...obsolete." said Spike. "Guess we are relics then." asked Starlight. "Relics?" asked Twilight, of what Starlight explained. "We don't belong anywhere, and there's no going back. That spell, like us, came from our Equestria. Once our Equestria is obsolete, everything from it is obsolete, so we are obsolete. Relics." "*sigh* Every world I come back to is worse than the last, showing everything we do in the past, even the smallest change, can snowball into an avalanche of trouble for the future." Twilight tried to warn her. "You mean everyone? And because they are not the smallest change to them? That's what you've been hiding from me? What's next? "The fate of all Equestria hangs in the "balance""" Starlight made clear to Twilight that it is way too late to warn her. "It does." said Twilight. "We both have overblown ego over our precious paradise we call Equestria. There never was a "balance" for that fate to hang on to in any paradise, until people are so important they are that "balance". As long as we cling to our paradise of Equestria, there won't be a future. It's time to throw our paradise away. It's the only way to save friendship now, and we both know what happens when its fate is so much as nudged." Starlight gets up, only to suspect someone is behind her. She turns around and sees a Starlight, filly Rainbow, filly Fluttershy, three colts, and some more filly colts native to this Equestria. "You've been listening." stated relic Starlight. Starlight gestures "loco in the head" to relic Starlight. A Twilight and Spike native to this Equestria arrived from the time portal. Relic Twilight looks in relic Starlight's direction of sight. "We're too late." she said. The Twilight vs Starlight battle has begun, yet relic Twilight tries to stop it. "Please stop fighting!" relic Twilight asked the two contenders. Cloudsdale is replaced by a giant self destruct sequence wall of giant text in black background. "Fighting stops in three minutes." said crazy Twilight. Relics and contenders flies for their lives, yet filly Rainbow Dash is just having fun as she preforms her Sonic Rainboom. Rainbow sings. "It doesn't matter now what happens all will never give up the fight! There is no way they will run away from all of their friends! Long as the force inside magic go all will always keep on goin! There is no way to stop them from goin to the very time! It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is riiiiiiiiiiiiiii..." A Starlight sings. "You've...been...trolled! You've been trolled! You have probably been told: Don't reply to the sky. He is just getting a rise out of you! Yes it's true! You respond and that's his cue: to start trouble on the double while he strokes his manly stubble. You've been trolled! You've been trolled! You should probably just fold, when the only winning move is not to play! And yet you keep on trying, mindlessly replying. You've been trolled! You've been trolled! Have a nice day!" Kaboom.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" said Starlight 1 while Starlight 2 said: "I know there's no excuse for what I did. But I want you all to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair.". "Starlight!" Twilight and Spike screamed for and running towards...Starlight...before being hit by the crumpled spell to be dragged into their ride.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" Wake up Twilight. "that" activated because it hit your head. Spike hangs on to it and you. Please wake up. Thud. Thud. Wait, you were dead all along? Thud.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" But Starlight already reset in the past, changing the past, present, and future. Her fate happened early thanks to her.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" "Twilight please wake up!" Spike tries his best to wake up Twilight, and so did the crumpled spell that hit her head, and the yelling ensued by Spike while traveling through the time portal. It's Rainbow Dash to the rescue again, putting them safe on the road on the way to defending Fluttershy. Intervention and a reality of Twilight's sleepy condition later, Spike sees a bunch of other Twilights and Sparkles at war, along with ponies from other timelines. "This isn't fun anymore." A Starlight sent all throughout this story to the destroyed Equestria.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" Twilight positions to depart via spell collision. In the past is a battle to the end.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" "Stop Changing Yourself Starlight." said "This isn't fun anymore." Twilight. TL;DR they're sent to past Cloudsdale. "Did we do this too many times?" "Afraid so Spike. We don't have a home anymore. Yet Starlight is reset every time." "How can she be reset?" "Those who use Starswirl's spell cannot go back. The past is reset with her." They start searching. Starlight intervened. Twilight went close to Starlight and just looked at her. It does not amuse Starlight. The portal took Twilight and Spike. "Who does she think she is?!" Starlight asked the sky. She sees another Starlight on the road saying "I know there's no excuse for what I did. But I want you all to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair." Both Starlights made eye contact. Rainbow flies to the scene carrying filly Starlight. They land on the road before Rainbow speaks to the mare Starlights. "Starlight wanted to stay in Cloudsdale. Her boyfriend turned bully betrayed her recently."

Old files play through the eyes of Twilight and Spike as they travel through the time path. Twilight and Spike is spat to the map. Old files play in Equestria where Twilight and Spike see them displayed by the map. "Let's find out what Starlight did to her past." They restarted manualy.

"Won't be needing that anymore!" Twilight didn't stop Spike from touching it. They're sent to Cloudsdale. Starlight intervened. "Are you sure this doesn't change your past?" Twilight carefully asked Starlight. "You, are about to find out." said Starlight. The time portal sent Twilight and Spike to the changed present. "Find Starlight?" Spike asked. She nods. They did not find Starlight anywhere in Celestia's side of Equestria or the Crystal Empire's. No one has ever heard of her. The two went back to the map in hopes it can find her, but the map showed she died in a place they know as "Our Town". "We should let her know." said Twilight.

They returned to the past. Starlight assured them whatever happened to her filly self is technically undone here. They find her near Fluttershy and two colts. "Did you find out your reset condition?" Twilight asked Starlight. "Oh I'm just reminding these two colts how hurtful teasing can be." "So the only way the reset condition can be removed is before it starts. That was the answer all along." Filly colts express their confusion. "Starlight and I have been teased and fooled all our life." "*sighs* In a world where every pony is unique, some are bound to feel more special than others, but that isn't a license to be cruel is it?" "No." "Oh, isn't it a shame we don't live in a world where everypony is equal? No one would ever tease anyone there. Would that be nice?" Filly colts nod. "It's on ponies to not tease anyone regardless of what world they live in. Please do not tease anyone, any world, or anything. They don't want it." "Come on Fluttershy. Maybe I can help you through the course this time." "Well. I-I sure could use the practice." Filly colts left the scene. "Rainboom is stopped and you got equality back. May you remove your reset condition too?" "What do you mean my rese..." Starlight found Starlight in front of her, speaking. "I know there's no excuse for what I did. But I want you all to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair." Twilight, Spike, and the two Starlights enter the old time portal from a billions year old Starswirl's spell.

The four arrived at darkness, where future Starlight 2 lives. Future Starlight 1 moves to future Starlight 2 in surprise. Two future Starlights made eye contact. It's not long before those two reset. "I know there's no excuse for what I did. But I want you all to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair." Both future Starlights heard themselves say that, and so did Twilight, Spike, and Starlight. Twilight speaks to Starlight. "The reset condition does not care whether I convinced you or not. Whatever you do in your next day will be repeated every day since then. Only when I'm sent back to the moment you used Starswirl's spell do you get another chance to treat it, so I ask you what do you want to do to your reset condition?" The three returned to Cloudsdale. "Don't think I didn't destroy that plan of yours you call "the reset condition". I told you you're so predictable!" said Starlight. "Everything seems settled. Now what?" asked Twilight. "Look!" said Spike. Twilight sees it, a flying filly Rainbow Dash. "Of course! Starlight's filly life!" Starlight makes her confused face because she is confused. Spike would do the same if he wasn't being sucked in with Twilight.

The time portal sent them to a green looking place. Twilight did not hesitate to look for "Our Town" on the map. There's neither Starlight nor her village anywhere. "Well that didn't work." Spike said to Twilight. "Starlight didn't make it." Twilight said to Spike. At that moment, Twilight lost consciousness and fall to the ground. Spike used the spell before spears get the chance to scare the two. They returned to Cloudsdale, only to be sent to a place of the night. Then they returned to Cloudsdale, then another world, and the pattern repeats until Spike takes Starlight with him.

They finally land at something. It's a dark, brown, dead, dry place. It was described as Ashlands. Spike chose this time to see if Twilight is okay. Before Starlight could question it, she sees another Starlight, Twilight, and Spike. She followed them through the time portal and heard it.

"Because of his cutie mark! He got his, I didn't. He moved on, and I didn't! I stayed here and never made another friend because I was too afraid another cutie mark would take them away too!" "That's ridiculous. A cutie mark can't take your friend's away." Starlight intervened and, with her telekinesis, stopped Spike, grasps Twilight, and squeezes Twilight's neck hard, before speaking to Twilight. "If a cutie mark can't take friend's away, then why did you and your friends think otherwise when you and your friends never got YOUR cutie marks?!" Twilight begged the interfering Starlight. "Please. You're hurting me." The interfering Starlight expresses herself to Twilight. "Why in every world you've been to, Twilight is responsible for hurting them, if not destroying them? Your luck even goes far beyond having your cutie mark the same time as your friends, enough that no one teases in your "unique" world, and you dare feel so teased that you and your friends teased back at so many people! Friendship is just a bonus to you! You've hurt and murdered everyone, Equestria, your precious friends, your unique world, and all their fates multiple times. Now your only hope of saving them is to suffer and die. Your life for their lives. Your fate for their fates. No more being reset every day, because your death ends my reset. Sounds like a fair trade to me, and a small price to pay for you!" Twilight is choked to death.

The Starlights portal back to Cloudsdale. The intervened Starlight speaks to a now twice scarred Starlight. "Your "past with Sunburst" is not your reason for taking cutie marks. It's a writers copout whether you reform to her or not. Or should I say Twilight's luck? Either way, it is how Twilight will convince you." The thrice scarred Starlight asks. "So everypony feels more special than others no matter the world they live in?" The intervened Starlight nods before the thrice scarred Starlight asks again. "Even in equality?" The intervened Starlight nods before the thrice scarred Starlight asks again. "And cutie marks can't do anything about it?" The intervened Starlight answers her. "Cutie marks are not important to ponies even if they believe otherwise." The thrice scarred Starlight double facehoofed. Her voice groans out. "Ugggggghhhhh!!...So much for being a villain. I wonder what Twilight will convince me do to? Make new friends? Make sure they all won't end up the same way? *sarcasm on* Wow. That was unpredictable. Did anyone see that one coming? Nah. That is a TOTAL surprise isn't it? *sarcasm off* *sighs saltyly* I guess everypony should just relax now so that ponies can be friends." Twilight tries to convince her to stop, but it was too late. Starlight already fired her lazor at the ring where the rainboom occured, using the ring to direct how the rainboom changes everypony. "You should relax Twilight. You got your rainboom!" said Starlight. And of course, the rainboom happened. Twilight is very surprised. "Wha? But how the?" Starlight comes to speak with Twilight. "You, are about to find out."

Twilight, Spike, and Starlight returned to the castle of friendship. Spike kisses its floor a couple of times. "One castle of friendship, check." "What in Equestria was that?" "Is everypony ok?" "Eee! Can you do it again?" "One group of amazing friends, check." "Yes Spike! It looks like we're home!" "So what have our time travelers been up to?" "This is going to be a very long story." Then Twilight, Starlight, and all the once villains arrive to the scene, except for Discord who just pops in to the scene and makes a Welcome to Ponyville party while cheerfully saying "Welcome to Ponyville!". There are no resets.

A good time later, the time travelers return to past Cloudsdale. Starlight explains before Twilight said anything. "With that Equestria made, there is a future." Twilight still have questions but ends up saying "Starlight please.". Starlight continues speaking to Twilight. "The writers are responsible for your "luck". Our Equestria and everypony is not real to them. We all end soon, but now, there is a future for an Equestria and its everypony." "What are you saying Starlight?!" asked Twilight. Starlight answers. "Free at last! Free at last! God Almighty, free at last!".
Twilight confused.
Sonic Rainboom.
END OF STORY.
