It's About Time

Spike: [sighs] I made it for you, Rarity. Why, yes, it is an ice cream house. Chocolate fudge shingles... rocky road garage...

[hoof-steps echoing]

Spike: Huh? Twilight and Rose?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh. Hi, Spike.

Spike: It's the middle of the night! Why are you pacing like this?

Rose Light: Frankly, I don't know how you can sleep at a time like this!

Spike: Three A.M.?

Twilight Sparkle: It's awful, it's horrible, it's tragic!

Spike: Eh... I don't understand. What's wrong?

Rose Light: Here. Now do you see what's wrong?

Spike: We forgot to celebrate Arbor Day?

Twilight Sparkle: 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!

Spike: And I woke up from an ice cream dream for this...

Rose Light: 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! Huh?

[magic crackling, wind blowing]

Twilight Sparkle: What's going on? [yelps]

Future Twilight Sparkle: Twilight and Rose, you've got to listen to me!

Rose Light: 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!

Future Rose Light: Twilight and Rose, please! I have a very important message for you from the future!

Twilight Sparkle: You're from the future?!

Future Twilight Sparkle: That's right, now listen–

Rose Light: What happened to you? The future must be awful.

Future Rose Light: Please! I don't have much time!

Twilight Sparkle: Is there some sort of epic pony war in the distant future or something?

Future Twilight Sparkle: Actually, I'm from next Tuesday morning, but that's not important right now!

Rose Light: I can't believe time travel is really possible! How did you, I mean, I figure it out?

Future Rose Light: The time spells are in the Canterlot archives. But that's not–

Twilight Sparkle: Really? Where? I've never seen them.

Future Twilight Sparkle: They're in the Star Swirl the Bearded wing. Now, you have to listen to–

Rose Light: Is time travel fun, or does it hurt? I have so many questions– [muffled voice]

Future Rose Light: 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–

[magic crackling]

Twilight Sparkle: Future Twilight and Rose? Oh no! What was she trying to warn me about? Her clothes, her mane, that scar... Oh, what a mess she is! ...I mean, I am... or I will be... [gasps] She must want me to prevent whatever horrible thing happens in the future! [gasps]
