Twilight was enjoying a few of her books with Amiticia; it was currently saturday and that meant she could take some time to relax. And she needed it too, after what had happened.

"Really wish I could've told Cozy Glow how proud of her I am." Twilight said.

"I'm sure your future self has already said as much herself." Amiticia said.

Twilight giggled in response. "Guess it'll be up to me to make sure the present day Cozy Glow grows up to be just as brilliant." The purple alicorn said.

"I know you will. At least she has a good mom to take after. I'd hate to see a Cozy Glow who isn't so lucky." Amiticia said.

"Same here." Twilight said.

"...Is something the matter, Twilight?" Amiticia asked.

"It's just that...Cozy Glow will be the first ever pony whose half-changeling. It'll be...interesting to see how things play out." Twilight said.

"You worry too much." Amiticia said.

Twilight smiled. "You always know what to say, Amiticia." The purple alicorn said before nuzzling her husband.

"...Ugh...can you check the room before you get all lovey dovey with each other?" Tempest Shadow asked.

"Sorry Tempest. So, is there something you need?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah. Got this mouse looking thing and this lion looking thing asking for you." Tempest said. "Should I send them in? They don't look like anything I've ever seen, personally." She added.

"Mouse and lion? Send them in." Twilight said. Tempest did so after leaving the room. "...Just as I thought. Raiden and Lightning." Twilight said.

"Been a while, I know. I heard some that there was some kind of evil changeling from the future going around doing stuff to ensure some kind of evil future so I headed here as soon as I could, only to find out that by the time I got here, it's already been sorted out. Did you use that magic of friendship stuff on him, is that why you were able to deal with him?" Raiden asked.

"Well...if you must know..." Twilight said before beginning to explain everything that just happened a few days ago.

"...Ah...I see..." Raiden said. "So good future Cozy Glow helped you out then, huh?" He asked.

"Good future?" Amiticia asked, confused.

"Come on, I've seen enough pairs of siblings to know how they talk with one another, and from what I can tell, you guys got visited by the Cozy Glow from the good future; one where a civil war never broke out because of the EEA's policy being thrown out the window." Raiden said.

"I get that. And I get that Dusk Shine is from the bad future where a cival war broke out somehow because the EEA's policy was put into place forever." Twilight said.

"Why are you telling us something we already figured out?" Amiticia asked.

"Gee, you don't see it do you? The Dusk Shine you met? Obviously from the bad future sure, but everyone always has a good future and a bad future counterpart when your dealing with alternate future beings coming from the future doing their best to make sure their future is the one that previals." Raiden said. "What I'm trying to say is, just as how there was a Cozy Glow from the good future where the EEA's policy became null and void, there's also a Cozy Glow from the bad future where that cival war broke out." He explained.

"Wait what? If that's the case, why wouldn't my bad future self send her instead of Dusk Shine?" Twilight asked.

"Do you really need to ask me that? This is YOUR evil future self we're talking about after all." Raiden countered.

"...I...guess that's a good point..." Twilight said.

"Though really, that's just me guessing. I'm sure there's some super special reason why your changeling child was the one sent from the bad future setting. But I couldn't begin to tell you the reason why." Raiden said. "Welp, we'll be going now." He added before leaving.

"...So, acording to Raiden, your going to have a second child at some point. But at least this Dusk Shine that happens won't be evil." Amiticia said.

"Yeah, good point." Twilight said.

Author's Note

For those that question Raiden talking in this chapter, let it be known that Raiden and Lightning are from the PMD version of the Pokemon World, and as evidenced by the second PMD games; those being Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky; the Pokemon of the PMD world are capable of communicating with humans if the flashbacks with the human version of the PMD Explorers hero talking with Grovyle is anything to go by. You know, the ones that regard the time gears specifically.
