I made it for you,
Rarity.
Why yes,
it is an ice cream house.
Chocolate fudge shingles.
Rocky road garage.
Twilight!
Hi Spike.
It's the middle of the night,
why are you pacing like this?
Frankly,
I don't know how you can sleep at a time like this.
3am?
It's awful,
it's horrible,
it's tragic!
Err, I don't understand.
What's wrong?
Here.
Now do you see what's wrong?
We forgot to celebrate Arbor Day?
No,
the problem is I just finished planning my schedule for the month,
but I forgot to leave time to plan for next month!
Don't you see?
There's no time in my schedule to put together another schedule!
I could move my meeting with the Ponyville Hay Board to the following Tuesday,
but then I have to reschedule my lunch with Pinkie Pie,
and you know what a nightmare she is with scheduling.
This is an absolute disaster.
My whole year could be thrown off!
And I woke up from an icecream dream for this.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 2, Episode 20 It's About Time
Oh my gosh,
I think I did it.
If I can find a way to read the Art of Invisibility spells
and Thornhoof's "Brief History of Canterlot" at the same time,
that could leave me a half hour scheduling window!
What's going on?
Twilight,
you've got to listen to me!
Who are you?
I mean, you're me,
but I'm me too.
How can there be two 'me's?
It's not scientifically possible.
You are not scientifically possible!
Twilight, please!
I have a very important message for you from the future!
You're from the future?!
That's right, now listen…
What happened to you?
The future must be awful.
Please!
I don't have much time!
Is there some sort of epic pony war in the distant future or something?
Actually, I'm from next Tuesday morning,
but that's not important right now!
I can't believe time travel is really possible!
How did you,
I mean, I,
figure it out?
The time spells are in the Canterlot archives.
But that's not…
Really?
Where? I've never seen them.
They're in the StarSwirl the Bearded wing.
Now, you have to listen to me…
Is time travel fun,
or does it hurt?
I have so many questions…
I have something extremely important to tell you about the future,
and I only have a few seconds so you've got to listen!
Whatever you do, don't…
Future Twilight?
Oh no,
what was she trying to warn me about?
Her clothes, her mane, that scar -
what a mess she is!
I mean,
I am.
Or I will be?
She must want me to prevent whatever horrible thing happens in the future!
Come on, Fluttershy,
the party can't start until the party supplies get there!
Happy to
help,
but
can I carry
the balloons next time?
Listen, everypony,
I've got something really important to say.
This is no laughing matter,
we have a crisis on our hooves.
I've just been visited by myself from the future.
This isn't a joke!
My future self tried to warn me about a horrible disaster
that's gonna occur some time before next Tuesday morning.
What kind of disaster?
I don't know!
I got sucked back into the future before I could explain.
Run for your life!
Whatever should we do, Twilight?
How can we stop the disaster if we don't know what it is?
We'll just have to work together to make sure we're safe.
Rainbow Dash,
you and the other pegasi spread out over Equestria
and look for any kind of problem that could lead to a disaster.
And I mean anything!
You got it!
Everypony else…
Anypony else wanna panic with me?
No?
Everypony else,
time to disaster-proof Equestria!
Eeyup.
Done
and done
and done!
Applejack,
what about the Everfree forest?
The perimeter is clear.
Great.
And my team gave the all-clear from Fillydelphia to Las Pegasus.
Excellent.
Well,
we've done everything on the list,
but still…
Future Twilight looked like she'd been through a horrible ordeal.
I just have this nagging feeling we should be looking for
something bigger than loose bolts and leaky pipes.
Okay, everypony,
follow my lead.
What is that thing?
That's Cerberus!
He's supposed to be guarding the gates of Tartarus.
But if he's here,
then all the ancient evil creatures that have been imprisoned there
could ecape and destroy Equestria!
Destroy Equestria?!
Yeah,
isn't it great?
Hey Cerberus!
You look like you could use some obedience training!
Magic obedience training.
Who's the cute little three-headed dog?
I knew you were good with animals,
but this is amazing.
He's just a big furry guy who got out of his yard, that's all.
Right, Cerberus?
Who's a good boy,
who's a good boy?
Pinkie.
Yes, Twilight?
Do you have a ball I can borrow?
I have balls stashed all over Ponyville,
in case of ball emergency.
Hey Cerberus!
Look what I have!
I'll be back as soon as I've returned him to the gates of Tartarus.
Once he's back at home, there'll be no disaster.
I wish Twilight would go on epic adventures more often.
Best night's sleep I've had in weeks!
Hey Twilight,
how'd it go with Cerberus?
Great!
I got him back before any of the evil creatures could escape.
Oh no.
What's the big deal, it's just a lost dog flyer.
I guess the Princess hasn't heard we've found Cerberus yet.
It's not that,
it's this!
A paper cut?
Come on, Twilight, you really need to toughen up!
Just clean it out and you'll be fine.
The cut's in the exact same spot as the scar on Future Twilight's cheek!
We haven't changed the future at all!
The disaster is still coming!
If the disaster wasn't caused by Cerberus getting loose,
then what could it possibly be?
I dunno,
but maybe you want to give the pacing a rest.
You've worn a groove into the floor!
I don't have time for another one of your lectures, Spike.
This is serious!
My lectures?
I did everything I could think of to change the future,
but it didn't work.
So maybe it's not what I do,
maybe it's what I don't do!
If I stand right here and don't move a muscle until next Tuesday,
I can't possibly do whatever it is that Future Twilight wanted to warn me not to do!
Really?
So,
no matter what happens you're not gonna move a muscle, huh?
Then maybe you won't mind if I…
eat an entire tub of icecream!
So good!
Spike,
stop!
Think of the stomach ache!
Stomach ache, huh?
That's Future Spike's problem.
Hey, Twilight,
another pegasus just got back from Baltimare with an all-clear and…
What's going on?
Aren't you gonna stop him?
She sure isn't!
In fact,
she's not gonna move till next Tuesday!
She thinks it'll prevent the disaster from happening!
Oh, this is too rich!
Hey, Twilight
there's a mouse right behind you!
Wait, waitwait!
Let me try!
Oh no…
What happened?
I'm so sorry!
I didn't mean to,
it was a total accident!
Show me!
I'm not so sure that's a…
Show me!
Oh no!
This is the same mane cut as Future Twilight.
You know,
it really doesn't look
too bad…
I don't care how it looks!
It's just another sign that the future hasn't changed.
Not doing anything didn't work either.
Ooh, I wish there was a way to know what's going to happen so I could stop it!
You wanna see the future?
I might know somepony who can help.
What's this?
It's Madam Pinkie's place!
Madam Pinkie?
Come, enter the chamber of Madam Pinkie Pie.
For the answers you seek,
let us consult the mystical orb
of fates and destiny!
Do you like my mystical orb of fates and destiny?
I just got it.
Cool, huh?
Yeah, uh…
best one I've seen.
Look deep into the crystal ball,
for soon it will reveal all!
Ah yes,
I see something.
It is a vision of the future!
I see
you, Twilight!
You will get
a really cool birthday present next year!
Yes, and?
That's it!
Are you sure?
Yep, cool birthday present.
Pinkie, I need your Pinkie Sense to tell me what the impending disaster
is that Future Twilight was trying to warn me about!
Oh, my fortune telling has nothing to do with my Pinkie Sense, silly.
It's only good for vague and immediate events.
Like that,
see?
Where did that even come from?
Gosh, I haven't seen Twilight since the flowerpot incident.
Hope she still isn't mad.
Off by 0.02 from yesterday.
Carry the fifteen.
Negative azimuth in the 14th moon.
Hi Pinkie.
Twilight's really serious about finding out about
that cool birthday present, isnt't she?
Who cares,
as long as I can keep eating icecream.
Sorry, Future Spike!
Are you ok?
Ah, Pinkie. I'm glad you're here.
Can you help me recalibrate the apertures on the nine and quarter inch catadioptric telescopes?
Sure!
So I was thinking,
after I went to see Madam Pinkie and the flowerpot landed on my head -
see the bandage? - just like the bandage from the future.
Nice!
I had an epiphany after that flower pot.
Doing things didn't work,
not doing things didn't work,
and I couldn't predict the future either.
So I only had one other choice -
monitor
everything.
Makes sense to me!
That way, no matter what happens in the future, I'll be ready.
I thought I saw something last night in the Horsehead Nebula,
but after staring at it for three straight hours, I realised I was wrong!
Three hours?!
But when did you sleep?
Oh, I didn't sleep.
I haven't slept since Future Twilight was here.
There are only three days left until next Tuesday,
I can sleep all I want after that!
You've been awake too long, Twilight.
Yeah, Tuesday is not three days from now,
Tuesday's tomorrow!
Pinkie,
did you finish recalibrating the apertures on the nine and quarter inch catadioptric telescopes?
I have no idea!
My eye!
Don't worry, Twilight,
I have eyepatches stashed all over Ponyville,
in case of eyepatch emergency.
There!
Now you look like a pirate.
A sleepy pirate with a really weird manecut.
The eyepatch!
Another sign!
Nearly all the signs have come through,
I haven't done a thing to prevent the catastrophe!
If Tuesday's tomorrow,
and the disaster happens by Tuesday morning,
then there's only one solution.
I'll just have to…
stop
time!
Ok,
the Canterlot archives are right over there.
Let's move!
I don't think we need to sneak around, Twilight.
It's not illegal to walk around Canterlot.
Guard!
Come on, you guys.
That was close.
I don't know why we have to wear these things either.
Aren't we wearing them for fun?
No! There's nothing fun about this.
Are you sure?
Focus, guys!
The only way to prevent this disaster is to stop time.
Time spells are kept in the StarSwirl the Bearded wing,
the most secure section of the archives!
That's why we're sneaking around!
Awesome!
That sounds fun!
No! It's not fun!
I still don't understand how sneaking into the archives
is gonna help her find out about her birthday present.
The coast is clear.
Now, slowly lift me to the window so we can…
Let's get this over with.
Ok,
if my calculations are correct,
the StarSwirl the Bearded wing should be right
here.
Twilight?
What is it, Spike?
Isn't this where we came in?
Cool!
Can we climb in the window again?
That was super fun!
I don't understand,
it's supposed to be right here.
How are we supposed to find it now?
Maybe we should ask somepony in the StarSwirl the Bearded wing?
Huh, how'd I miss that?
Look at all those priceless magic scrolls.
There are more than I ever imagined.
Twilight, the guard!
What do I do, what do I do?
Oh hey, Twilight!
Haven't seen you in a while.
Let me open that for ya.
Thanks.
Oh no!
Look,
I look just like Future Twilight.
The last sign has come true!
And…that's bad, right?
Come on!
It's almost Tuesday morning,
the disaster could happen at any moment!
But how do we find the time-stopping spell?
There must be a million scrolls here.
I.
Don't.
Know.
Twilight!
It's over!
It's officially Tuesday morning!
No!
Tuesday morning!
The disaster!
It's coming!
I dunno, Twilight.
I don't see any disasters.
It looks like a pretty nice day.
Good morning, Twilight.
Love the new hairstyle.
Well, happy Tuesday.
Why isn't anypony surprised to see me sneaking around in here?
Is it possible there never was a disaster,
and I've just been making myself frantic over nothing?!
I don't get it.
If Future Twilight wasn't warning you about a disaster,
then what was she trying to tell you?
I don't know,
but I do know one thing.
I look ridiculous!
Yeah, you do!
And it's all because I couldn't stop worrying and let the future handle itself.
Well, not anymore.
From now on I'm gonna solve problems as they come
and stop worrying about every little thing.
That's great!
Does that mean there won't be any more late-night pacing?
No more late night pacing.
If only I had learned this lesson a week ago,
we wouldn't have had to go through all of this.
Twilgiht, Twilight, I found something!
It doesn't stop time, but it lets you go back in time.
It says you can go back once, and it only lasts for a few moments.
Does that help?
Pinkie,
you're a genius!
Now I can go back and tell Past Twilight that she doesn't need to go berserk
with worry about a disaster that's never gonna come!
Twilight, you've got to listen to me!
Who are you?
I mean, you're me,
but I'm me too.
How can there be two 'me's?
It's not scientifically possible.
You are not scientifically possible!
Twilight, please!
I have a very important message for you from the future!
You're from the future?!
That's right, now listen…
What happened to you?
The future must be awful.
Please! I don't have much time!
Is there some sort of epic pony war in the distant future or something?
Actually, I'm from next Tuesday morning,
but that's not important right now!
I can't believe time travel is really possible!
How did you, I mean, I,
figure it out?
The time spells are in the Canterlot archives.
But that's not…
Really?
Where?
I've never seen them.
They're in the StarSwirl the Bearded wing.
Now, you have to listen to me…
Is time travel fun,
or does it hurt?
I have so many questions…
I have something extremely important to tell you about the future,
and I only have a few seconds so you've got to listen!
Whatever you do, don't…
…waste your time worrying about…
I can't believe I just did that!
Did you tell her about the cool birthday present?
Remember last week when Future Twilight came to warn me about something?
That was me trying to warn myself not to worry so much.
Now I'm going to spend the next week
freaking out about a disaster that doesn't even exist!
Don't worry about it.
It's Past Twilight's problem now.
I guess you're right, Pinkie.
My stomach!
I…
I think it's all that icecream.
I thought the stomach ache would be Future Spike's problem…
but now I AM Future Spike.
Come on, Future Spike,
let's get you home.
