Starlight Glimmer was abducted by her future self and returned with the knowledge of things to come. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine. In fact, if Starlight can’t change the course of events there won’t be any future. And that’s not the hardest part. She has to explain this to Twilight Sparkle and convince her to help.
