Pinkie landed where Fluttershy's house use to stand. She had passed out and awakened to a pony standing above her staring in her face. Pinkie jumped up and flinched backwards almost falling over.
"Who are you," the pony asked. She had a soft, but assertive voice. She was a bright blue and had a slightly lighter blue mane with white highlights. Her cutie mark was of a setting blue sun. She possessed both a horn and a pair of wings.
"My name is Pinkie Pie. Who are you?"
"Hello Pinkie Pie. My name is Blue Dusk, but most ponies just call me dusk. A pleasure to meet you."
"Can you tell me where I am?"
"What? Don't you know? Your in the middle of nowhere."
"Wait where is Ponyville?"
"Ponyville? No such place. I was going to Canterlot. Do you want to come with?"
"Um.. Sure. Maybe Princess Celestia will know whats going on." Dusk eyeballed Pinkie very awkwardly.
"Princess? We are ruled by a court not royalty. We are not like the Changelings."
"Changelings where?" Pinkie cringed.
"No where. Your odd. Lets go." they started to walk.
"Could I get in to see this court?"
"Wait, you want to get in to see the court. Hahahahaha. Oh. Your serious." her eyes became very serious looking. "Well. Your lucky I work in the castle then aren't you."
"Whoa, really?" Pinkie's eyes lit up.
"Yes. I am the personal guard of Clouded Hoof. One of the Pegasi in the court, but you'll only be able to see one of them. Probably Clouded Hoof because he is the only one I usually get to see. I still don't know why you want to."
"I know this might be a little hard to believe, but I think I'm from the future."
"What? That doesn't make sense, but then again I've heard weirder. Clouded Hoof isn't good with this, but if you can convince him he might be able to help you get a meeting with the whole court."
"Thank you." they both traveled to Canterlot. When they entered the city Pinkie was mesmerized to see that Canterlot was almost three times larger than in the future. They walked through town and approached the castle gate.
"Hello Blue Dusk. Who is this?" a guard asked as they approached the gate.
"It's a friend."
"Well, okay." he opened the gate. They walked up into the castle. It didn't look all that different than it had in the future. Except it was slightly larger. Pinkie and Dusk walked down a hallway that Pinkie recognized.
"Here we are." Dusk said as they entered a room. "Hello Master Clouded Hoof."
"Hello Dusk. Who is this?" Cloud said. He was solid white all over except his cutie mark which was a dark gray cloud.
"Her name is Pinkie Pie and she says that she desperately needs to talk to the court."
"The court? Why?"
"I know its hard to believe, but I must have traveled back in time somehow."
"That is not hard to believe. There are many ways to time travel, but your an earth pony so it is unusual. Unless of course you caught Time Syndrome. It is a very rare disease that goes away after some time, but it causes your body to travel through time. It is a very dangerous disease because you could mess up the space-time continuum. I can't diagnose Time Syndrome so you will have to see Grand Mistress Nova our unicorn leader."
"Are you saying I'm sick?" Pinkie asked concerned.
"If that's what he says then he might be right. You're an earth pony after all. I would say that you are sick,"
"But we don't know yet I need to see the Mistress,"
"Where do we find her?"
"She is in the room right next to mine. It has very large molding, can't miss it," Cloud answered.
"Thanks, come on Dusk are you coming?"
"I would like to meet the leader. She is the only pony of the court that I have not met yet," Pinkie and Blue Dusk walked to Nova's room.
