In sweet land with Spike and Rarity...

The dreams of dragon romance?

Rarity in Spike's mind literally 24/7!

I hope you like chocolate!

Yummy!

Which seam mistress pony can resist that adorable face?

Look at dem big old eyes.

Spike wakes up from sleep

What the...dang it, interrupted from another Rarity dream...

Twilight? Is that you?

"Twilight?"

"Oh, hi Spike."

Twilight pacing.

Does Spike really have to deal with this at 3 AM in the morning?

How can you sleep in a time like this?!

...because it's 3 AM.

It's awful, it's horrible, it's tragic!

It's unbelievable!

"Uh, i don't understand. What's wrong?"

Do you see what's wrong?!

Did we forget 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!

There's no time in my schedule to put together another schedule!

What?

"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."

I'm Lasagna

I'm missing an ice cream dream for this?

It's morning once again in Ponyville.

Thinking hard...

Writing hard...

Idea!

"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!"

And suddenly!

There seems to be an unusual bright light in the middle of the room...

What is that bright shiny light???

Too bright!

Shield your eyes, Twilight.

Let me just take a little peek.

Ooh my, is she alright?

A wild manecut!?

...tattered suit!?

...an eyepatch!?

...and a scar!? Oh...It's just a paper cut.

Future Twilight

A shocking scene, ain't it?

I need to tell you something quick.

Present Twilight and future-self Twilight.

How can this be me

You're Twilight.

But, wait there's two Twilights?

...But, how can this be real?

How can this happen? o. How can there be two 'me's? It's not scientifically possible...

You are not scientifically possible!

Future Twilight has something important to say

Your eye-patch, its so real.

I mean really, you look terrible!

But, why exactly are you here?

"I'm from next Tuesday morning."

"Wow! Time travel?"

I am so fascinated by this.

I knew I was smart.

Like a ninja's face.

Ooh, I've got tons more questions for you, future-Twilight.

Isn't just like Twilight to be overly enthusiastic about an unimportant topic during a desperate moment from her future-self.

She's so full of questions.

Hush up!

You have to listen to me! There isn't much time!

Whatever you do, don't...!

vanishes

What does the future have in store for me?

"Her mane!"

I just disappeared into thin air!

*GASP!*

Hey look! I am flying! Can I go to Cloudsdale now?

Poor Fluttershy

Twilight crashes into Fluttershy.

That was such a massive glomp.

Is there something on my face?

How can you be serious while wearing that?!

Not True!

Worried ponies

"What kind of disaster?"

Run for your lives!

"What ever shall we do Twilight!"

"How do we stop..."

"If we don't know what it is!"

We'll help Twilight out!

Everypony's watching you for signs.

Poor Applejack, all messy.

Rarity wiping off cement from Applejack's mane.

How is this gonna keep Ponyville safe?

Big Mac has such a strong mouth grip.

Eeyup!

...Oops.

The slight return of Pinkamena Diane Pie!

What? This is most definitely a disaster!

Removing some leaves from Applejack.

Rainbow giving her input.

"But still?"

Applejack is thinking of something.

Talk about a strong shockwave.

Hey whats up Twilight.

Cerberus appears

Cerberus

Okay everypony, follow my lead...

...Abandon thread!

And then they wonder why I can never stay on the wagon...

Hiding in a barrel.

Hiding at home.

"I know isn't this great!" Yeah but Spike would beg to differ.

Something here indicates the big doggie likes red-colored fruit, much to Sweetie Drops's horror!

Magic obedience training...

She never fails at being adorable.

"Huh!"

Well, that was easy...

Guess it shouldn't be surprising since he's no dragon.

Right, Cerberus?

Pinkie just loves freaking out.

"Do you have a ball I can borrow?"

In case of a ball emergency

Bringing Cerberus back to the gates of Tartarus

Spike having a big morning stretch

The best night's sleep Spike's gotten in weeks

Twilight Sparkle returns - a bit messy though.

"Great!"

"Before any of the evil creatures can escape!"

Spike's about to cough something up

Don't you burp in front of me!

You've got mail

What just happened!?

Oh no

The first sign of the future, while Spike thinks it's just a normal papercut

How can Spike not be worried about this.

We didn't change the future at all!

The disaster is still coming!

I don't know!

Just pacing, t'is all!

"Is what I don't do!"

Twilight standing like a statue

Then maybe you don't mind if I...

...eat an entire tub of ice cream!

What is Spike doing back there?

Spike, I thought you ate gems, not ice cream...

Oh, no! Ice cream!

What are you going to do now Twilight?

I will leave the pain for future Spike!

Growling.

Twilight's pout face.

Twilight is not enjoying this.

But Spike is!

Huh? Who could that be?

Rainbow Dash sees some weird stuff happening.

Aren't you gonna stop him?

She sure isn't!

This is too rich!

There's a mouse right behind you!

I hate my friends.

Tickling Twilight

This will not end well

Uh oh!

"I'm not so sure."

Rockstar Twilight disapproves of this hairstyle.

It really doesn't look too bad...

Hey it makes you look less like an egghead Twilight.

"The future hasn't changed!"

Entering Madame Pinkie's tent

"Uh, what would be now?"

It appears that Pinkie has a secondary job.

Pinkie, what is this?!

It's my magical orb. I just got it.

Cool, huh? Yes Pinkie, that is cool.

I see something...

I see...

You, Twilight...

...you will get...

A really cool...

...birthday present next year...

Twilight wide eyed cuteness.

That's it!

"Are you sure?"

Pinkie laid back

What a good expression from Pinkie; laid back, relaxed.

"Was trying to warn me about!"

Pinkie's tail twitches, and what that means is...

...a flowerpot falls on Twilight's head.

That's gotta hurt...

Pinkie about to enter Twilight's home.

OMG

That's one way to organize things.

Off by point zero two from yesterday.

Carry the fifteen...

...negative azimuth on the fourteenth moon...

I think we've found the big disastor...

Sorry, future Spike.

Pinkie checking on Twilight.

Ah, Pinkie, I'm glad you're here. Can you help me recalibrate the apertures on the nine and quarter catadioptric telescopes?

Sure!

"Just like the bandage from the future."

"Doing things didn't work."

"Monitor!"

These tired pony eyes are showing symptoms of an egghead madness!

I will monitor everything! Makes sense right?! Say it!

Even Pinkie knows this makes sense.

Twilight go home, you're home.

"I can sleep all I want after that." she says to us

Pinkie, did you finish recalibrating the apertures on the nine and quarter inch catadioptric telescopes?

I have no idea! :D

HAZARD! Never look at the sun especially through a telescope!!!

Don't you look at the sun!

My eye!

In case of an eyepatch emergency...

Now you look like a pirate!

Twilight fails to notice her error in calculating time dilation.

There's only one solution...

I just have to... Stop time!

The train at night.

Time for all of those hours in Metal Gear Solid to pay off!

Sneaking around Canterlot

Looking for Guards

Nopony here but us statues

I do not know why we have to wear these things?

Now Spike, you did remember to put my mane in a safe place, right?

How is Pinkie able to keep her puffy mane contained in that outfit Hm?

The Royal Guards

"Thats why we're sneaking around!"

Stopping time's not funny? Awww!

Twilight sneaking

Pinkie jumping... Boing-boing...

Spike eating...

Spike! No food or drinks in the Library!

We are the masters of stealth

That was super fun

Hey, Twilight!

Um, thanks...

The last sign has come true!

And that's bad, right?

I!

DON'T!

KNOW!

Pinkie looking for time stopping spell

Pinkie still looking

It's almost Tuesday morning!

Don't sleep, Spike!

Oh, no! Dawning!

It's over Twilight... It's Tuesday morning...

It's officially Tuesday morning...

INCOMING!

Good morning Twilight! Love the new hairstyle!

"No more late-night pacing."

Pinkie being genius... again.

The time-travel spell.

Returning from time travel.

Spike has a wicked bad tummyache.

And today we learn that when you try to shift a problem to your future self, you only end up hurting yourself
