Prologue: Back to Ponyville

"Do you have the book?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Yes Twilight!" Spike called bak on the walkie talkie.

After a burst of static, Twilight replied "Burn it!"

   Spike wanted to keep the sports almanac, but he knew what would happen if he did. So he had to burn it, but in this wind? Spike took cover behind a billboard. He pulled out the matchbook he had stolen from Garble's Dragon Paradise. On the back the lettering slowly changed to Garble's Carriage Repair. Spike let out a small cheer as he lit the book on fire. He also grapped a newspaper article from alternate 1985. It  changed from "George McDragon murdered" to "George McDragon honored." They'd done it. They'd changed the future! The present (or was it future?) had been changed back to the way it was before.

   "The newspaper changed, Twi!" Spike yelled into the old walkie-talkie. "My father is alive! Everything's back to normal!"

   Twilight pulled out the newspaper from the terrible alternate 1985. It had changed! Rather than saying "Twilight Sparkle arrested for magic" it read: "Twilight Sparkle congratulated for magic!"

   Twilight sighed, everythig was corrected. She set the time circuts in the DeLorean time carriage so that the destination time was now October 26, 1985!

   A bolt of lightning streaked through the sky. It hit a tree close to the billboard where Spike was taking shelter behind. A large branch fell off and landed in the road

   Spike pressed the "talk" button on the walkie-talkie.

  "Twilight! Are you okay?"

  Twilight replied, under the ever-increasing static: "That was quite a close one Spike!"

  The time vehicle started to move ahead. Spike knew that they had to get back to the future, and quickly before anything bad happened. Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked out of the sky and hit the DeLorean!

  Spike stared into the sky with watery eyes. Twilight was gone, zapped into an unknown time. Spike thought it could've just teleported her, or at least just hoped. The streamer that had gotten stuck in the DeLorean's door fell from the sky. "Yo, Twilight! Come in Twilight!"

  There was no response. All he heard was static.

  Spike tried one more time, only greeted by pouring rain. "Damnit pegusai, I'm miserable enough without the damn rain!" Spike said to himself.

  He heared a carriage pull up a few yards down the road. His first thought that dumb Garble had gotten out of the manure and had found him! Instead a mystery pegusas in a black hat and suit stepped out. She had a blond mane and yellow eyes.

  "Hello?" the pony shouted out. "Anypony here?"

  Who was this pony? It was hard to tell in the rain but Spike swore he had never seen her before.

  "Spike?" the pony yelled. "Spike McDragon?"

   The pony knew his name? This was getting strange.

  "Is there a Spike McMuffin here? Oh sorry, is there Spike McDragon here? My bad!"

  The pony had no weapons and she probably wouldn't use magic on him. She was a pegusas, after all. Pegusai can't use magic. Spike decided she was no threat and decided to answer.

  "Is your name Spike McDragon?" Trench coat, as Spike had dubbed him, demanded.

  Spike almost lied, but he decided not to.

  "Yeah" he said slowly.

  "Purple dragon, green scales... uh-huh." she said, mostly to herself. In a louder voice she said: "Spike, I've got a letter for you!" She reached inside her trench coat and pulled out a letter that looked rather old.

  Trench coat pulled out a small clipboard.

  "You'll have to sign first. I have a feather and some ink here!" she said.

  "A letter, for me? Are you sure about that? Anyways, who in the hay are you?" Spike asked

  "Derpy Hooves!" the pony replied. "This envelope has been in our company for a long time. Seeing as you look like a baby dragon, it's somehow older than you! Think of that, a letter to you older than you! Anyways, it was said to be delivered to this exact spot at this exact time!"

  "Just give me the letter!" Spike demanded. Derpy gave him the letter.

  Spike looked at the bottom quickly to see who it was from. It read:

  "Your friend,

   Twilight Sparkle"

  Spike then looked at the date, it was dated 200 years ago!

  "Twilight's alive! She's living in the past, but she's alive!" Spike shouted.

  "Need any help, or muffins?" Derpy asked, confused.

  "There's only one pony that can help me!" Spike said.

  The clock tower hit 10:04.

  The DeLorean raced towards the eletrical line as lightning stuck the clock tower!

  At the last possible second, Twilight connected the cables sending her future friend, Spike, to the future!

  The 1955 counterpart of Twilight let out an excited yell! It had worked! Now she could go home and then meet Spike 30 years from now. Or not. Spike rushed out from behind the clock tower and tapped Twilight on the back. Twilight turned around and let out a yell!

  "AHHH! A GHOOOOOOSSSSTTT!"

  "Calm down, Twilight! It's me," Spike urged "It's me, Spike!"

  Twilight shook her head wildly. "No! it can't be! I just sent you back to the future!"

  Spike had to explain everything to Twilight he took a deep breath and replied, "Right. You did sent me back. But I'm back. I'm back from the future!"

  "Great Scott!" Twilight replied. She put her hoof to her forehead and wobbled a bit.

  "Twilight! TWILIGHT!" Spike called.

  Twilight's eyes rolled up and she fainted. She couldn't believe it.

  "Twi?" Marty asked, but the Ponyville librarian was out cold. The shock had been too much for her.

  "Twilight!" Spike said, checking to see if she was okay "Twilight?"

  She didn't reply.

  "This is heavy..."

  Everything was quiet at the library. Spike had taken Twilight home after giving her quite a shock. The TV was just static until...

"Hey foals! What time is it? Howdy Doody time!"

  Twilight awoke suddenly she ran and grabbed a jacket, knocking Spike's hoverboard out of the way.

  "Great Scott!" Twilight said "Howdy Doody time!"

  She turned off the TV and started recording a magical message for her future self:

"Last night's test was a complete sucsess! The carriage got it's needed 1.21 gigawatts of power, sending Spike and the time vehicle back into the future! Infact, I don't remember what happened next! Maybe I was brainwashed? I think I remember him coming back and saying 'I've come back from the future!'"

  Spike woke up at that moment and Twilight turned around just in time to see him.

  Twilight left out a scream, fell back, slipped on the hoverboard, and hit her piano, making a dramatic sound.

  "Calm down Twilight, it's me!" Spike said.

  "It can't be you! I sent you back to the future!" Twilight replied.

  Spike replied, "You fainted, I brought you home!"

  "It doesn't make sense! I refuse to believe you are here!"

  "I am here, and it does make sense. I came back to the past again with you."

  "Prove it!"

  Spike held up the letter.
