Starlight Glimmer was one of the few ponies that new about secret project, that princess Twilight Sparkle, ruler of Equestria was planning. She wasn’t especially happy with it, as it includes time travel, what unfortunately she was familiar with, but this time it’s about traveling to the future, instead of past. ‘Let’s hope that nothing crazy happens there’ she thought, walking to the door of throne room. when she opened she was greeted with twilight writing something on piece of paper.

“Hi Twilight! How is your spell?” Starlight asked, entering the throne room in Canterlot.

“I think I’m finally finished with it!” She answered smiling at the piece of paper.

“You still didnt tell me what you would do with it.” Starlight said, looking at spell, that was writed on paper.

“Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you.” Twilight apologized “I think I’m gonna send myself to the future, and see what’s happening there.”

“Are we going specifically to the selected date or just randomly going in?”

“Ten years is okay?”

“I think so. I don’t want you to travel to like 1000 years to the future”

“Also Starlight, I have an offer to you.” Twilight stated, seeing her interest, she continued. “I don’t want to travel to the future alone, so I’m looking for somepony to go with me. Are you interested to go with me?”

“Hmm… Are you sure? I don’t want to repeat all the time paradoxes I made…” Starlight said, showing a discomfort answering this question.

“Look at me.” Twilight said. Starlight listened. “It’s been like 20, if not more years since my coronation. And your time travel thing was 2 and a half decades ago! Do you still feeling guilty because of this?”

“‘I know it’s been a very long time, but I will be forever guilty of ruining a life for everypony in every timeline.” She stated, showing little tear in eye.

“Starlight. You need to forgive yourself, we will talk about that later, but now back to the topic. Do you want to come with me?” Twilight asked again. Starlight looked, like she was fighting herself to make this decision, but after a moment she was ready to answer.

“Yes”

“Excellent. We will you this spell next week, since we need to prepare everithing, so that Equestria won’t fall in our absence.

“Ok. I think I will give a director position to Sunburst at Friendship School. Do you think this will work”

“We need to hope it will. You can go now. I have nothing more to hold you here.” Twilight finished. Soon after Starlight left throne room and went to her school, to announce her absence and transfer director position temporarily to Sunburst.

One week later

Starlight was ready. She did everything to assure, that school will be okay without her. She didn’t know how long she will be gone, she didn’t know what will happen there, but she knew, that she can’t leave Twilight now. She entered the castle and found the guards everywhere. what’s going on here? Is this what twilight did? she thought. As she was wandering to the castle the guards stopped here.

“Castle is closed to visitors. Go away.” He said. Short but effective for tourists, but she knew what she was doing.

“I have permission from princess Twilight to enter castle” she stated, hoping he would believe

“Yes and I’m prince of Equestria. You can’t enter, just because you’ve said, you are allowed by the princess. Without any proof I can’t let you in” he stated. Starlight, defeated, started to leave, when suddenly she heared something.

“Let her in” some voice said. Starlight recognized Twilight’s voice and came back

“P-p-princess!” Guard said.

“She has my personal permission to enter castle. Understood?”

“Yes, your majesty.”

“Now with that done, starlight go with me. I’m about to start.” She said. Starlight quickly came to her and welded with her to throne room.

“Are you ready?” Twilight asked.

“Yes. Let’s do this.” Starlight answered. After a moment room got very bright and almost white and then, she was blinded. After some time, probably 5 minutes, she woke up in some ruins, next to Twilight.

“Where are we?” She asked.

“It’s my old castle. In future” Twilight said.
