Starlight knows she's not supposed to travel back in time. But when Starlight's been drinking she tends to forget things.
Now she and Spike are trapped in the past with no idea of how they got there or how to get back. Holding out hope that Twilight or someone else will rescue them they work hard to not cause any changes to the timeline. Or at least that's what they should be doing. Starlight Glimmer might have some other ideas.
Alright. You have my attention. I always enjoy a good time travel story. Let's see how this one goes.
speak glimmer starlight, save the applejack parents
Well then....This is certainly the beginning of something that is quickly going to snowball out of control. Especially when it comes to Starlight being involved in it.
Now, time for my random brand of insanity:
She has a right state of mind?!?!?!?!
Better ponies than you have tried to stop Starlight when she’s doing something stupid and insane. They’re currently in the Ponyville Mental Institution on a heavy Thorazine regiment.
When DON’T you do something stupid.
Oh hell. This has BAD IDEA written on it in glowing neon letters.
Well, I've always love me some Sparlight friendship shenanigans. And time travel!
Solid opening, friend. I look forward to what you'll do with this.

Can confirm.

Starlight and Spike have such a great dynamic, when I was thinking up the story I realized I had to include him.
It's kind of hypocritical, if you think about it. Changing the past is apparently ok when Twilight tries to do it, but it's wrong when done by somepony else.
9656685
I never thought of it like that.
Actually, judging on on fact Our Town was only a couple months old when Twilight arrived, Starlight is Most likely younger then the Mane 6.
This is great so far. I’ll be tracking this, thank you very much
9658675
Thank you!

I don't think we'll ever get a solid answer for how old the characters really are. And then stuff like EQG if you count that makes it even more confused.
9658603
That’s not very good logic.
Another interesting chapter. Not much more I can say about it, other than to add in my own insanity.
:You mean before the daily insanity begins, don’t ya?
Oh boy, she just taunted Murphy in a BIG way. In fact, that was Starlight giving Murphy the middle finger (if she had hands, that is).
Aww... I was hoping they'd stick around for awhile.
And as I said in the previous chapter: Starlight, meet Murphy. THIS is what happens when you taunt him.
9661488
Well it’s still not the worst thing that could’ve happened.
Uhoh.
It was your idea to use the candle so it’s as much your fault as it is her’s.
Must have more. Just out of curiosity, will you be shipping Starlight and Spike in this story?

Daily updates for the first 7 chapters, after that it'll turn to about every other day or maybe one or two in a row with a possible longer break or two. And no, Spike and Starlight are cute but I like them better as friends and I've never really had much of an interest in writing romance in general. Maybe one day but this fic definitely isn't going to have shipping of any sort.
Said just before a huge lightning bolt comes down and completely causes the cave to collapse in on itself.
Before reading: oh boy, this can’t end well
After reading: that went a lot better than I thought. Either way, something bad’s gonna happen
I wonder what would happen if someone cut the entire forest down…
I agree.
Nothing really to say about this chapter, other than my usual brand of insanity.
Man, Starlight keeps going more and more out of character. I think you might be confusing her with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie,
Welp.
<sigh>

I'm definitely taking some liberties for the sake of comedy. But Starlight is very stressed right now and is trying to have a fun "vacation".
This chapter and what happened in it:
i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/016/992/facepalm.jpg
A story with Starlight Glimmer shenanigans?
Yes, please!
Assuming what I think changed changed, starlight would’ve been better off trying to do that (specifically for Twilight) instead of trying to stop the Rainboom in the season 5 finale. Either way, nice job.
Actually, Starlight has been shown to be pretty good at apple bucking.
9668656
Oh that was in Uncommon Bond right? When she was showing Sunburst around.
9668675
Yeah, she also did it in The Cutie Re-mark.
This can only end poorly
There is no way that this can possibly go wrong.
I don't know what is worse, the idea of Sunset's future being influenced or Starlight herself being influenced by the pre-reform Sunset...
Remember my comment on the last chapter? Pretty much the same thing again.
Me: Yeah, I wonder how much this meeting is going to get screwed up by Starlight?
Edit: Too many names that sound close to each other. Put Sunset, but meant Starlight. Fixed now.
You know, that latter portion is superfluous. It's obvious enough that they didn't know it before, and it messes with the flow of an otherwise fun line. In general there are a few moments where you explain things more than necessary, but that's just me being a finicky little bitch.
I liked this chapter. It addresses some good points and sets up the future shenanigans. Fun all around, and I can't wait to keep reading.
9674761
Yeah, I think you're right and I ended up changing it.
Honestly, I find this chapter to be somewhat cute.
Yeah Starlight’s right to try and knock Sunset down a peg.
Dammit, Starlight!
Yeah....
I can’t see ANYTHING going WRONG with this approach.
Yeah. You definitely got Starlight really out of character. Shes barely recognizable. Considering Starlight is one of the most respectable ponies in the show. This is just Rainbow Dash in a Starlight costume.
This is getting interesting. Can’t wait for more. However I must ask: How long is the story gonna be?
9678859
Not especially long. 30 something chapters.
Moving someone from one part of a building to another isn’t kidnapping, Spike.
9678912
Umm...dat’s pretty long, bruh
9678959
Well in terms of word count then it's probably going to end up somewhere around 75,000?
There are essentially two parts to the story, the Adventure and Twilight Sparkle tags are up there for that.
