Once a devious villainess, Starlight Glimmer has come a long way in her reformation, now making up for her past mistakes with the aid of her new friends. Unfortunately, her past has her questioning if evil runs in the family so acting on Twilight Sparkle's advice, she decides to make a presentation on her family's genealogy. After an exhaustive search, Starlight discovers that she is, in fact, descended from Clover the Clever, Star Swirl the Bearded's pupil and one of the founders of Equestria!
Armed with this knowledge, Starlight decides on a more "interactive approach" for her presentation. Enacting a time spell, she brings Clover the Clever to the present and gets to know her great-great-great (times fifty) great-grandfather.
*Part of my head-canon universe and occurs sometime early on in Season Six
Yes, I am aware that some people write Clover the Clever as a female but in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls-Forgotten Friendship, Clover is described as "he" so that's what I'm going with.

Interesting so far. I'll have to see where this goes...

Thanks!
Yeah. If I had spent two and a half hours on painstakingly building a house of cards, only for Twilight to carelessly knock them over in seconds, I'd have done the same thing.
Discord apparently doesn't know what a Mary Sue actually is. I knew the guy was a complete idiot.
I love Starlight the most in the show. But even I know that, while she is one of the best in magic, shes kind of average in everything else. Mary Sues tend to excel at everything, which kind of makes them boring because there ends up being very little conflict because everything usually ends up going their way.
Heck, Twilight is the closest thing to a Mary Sue in this show.
This looks like it could be quite promising, though I wonder if certain events will eventually cause this to get an AU tag?
Twilight, you unwilling, unknowing insticator of doom.
Hmm. The childs name starts with S. I was going to say it's a time displaced Starlight, but the child grew up and has a history.
Unless she was turned into a baby, had her mind wiped, and was put in the future.
So, how long before Discord calls in that "favor"? You know he'll bring it up when it's least convenient for Starlight.
I foresee Starlight getting sidetracked before she can tell Clover about her past.

It was a joke to poke fun at all of the Starlight detractors.
10173347
Nope, this is supposed to take place in the show. Think of it as an untold story
10173391
Wouldn't be very fun if it were that straightforward
10173416
I know. I'm just making fun of Discord and how he thinks he's so smart, yet does and says a lot of dumb things.
You got him perfectly in character.
10173499
That's fair. I mean, his entire plot in Season 9 was just too stupid for words
10173500
I know, right? A child could see how that whole plan was going to turn out. Seriously. Forming a bond between some of their greatest foes. Leaving them unsupervised. Given them the knowledge about and the location of an item that could take him out. Not at least telling someone like Celestia the heads up (Considering she allows these threats to pop up, knowing full well about them, and doesn't say anything to Twilight, she might have gone along with it, but kept it more under control) So many other bad choices..
10173512
That's why I'm in the process of writing my own head-canon universe, one where (spoiler) the real Grogar is the central antagonist of Season 9. I'm early on in the series with my stories When Darkness Falls, The Return of the King and Family Reunion.
you know.. they're kinda dumb for not telling Clover they have a dragonquess 'friend' in advance.. also can't wait for Clover to meet the royal sisters. Sorry just read its based on season 6 lol.. wait after the crystalling?
Ok hope he finds Amore's descendant Cadence and maybe baby Flurry lol
Seems like if he lived that long ago and had kids, a lot of ponies would be descended from him. I guess most just don't know about it?
10173365
Must have been sometimes before Matter of Pricipals, at least, or it would have made for a short episode.
10173608
Yeah, funny how that doesn't come up, huh?
And this takes place after "The Crystalling" but before "A Hearth's Warming Tail"
10174376
Timeline wise, does this Clover already met the royal sisters in his time? His mentor Starswirl did teach those two while they're still rebellious twerps. lol
10174901
Yes, a few times when they were fillies
10173335
I would think that Cadence is closer, but point taken.
The Umbrum-Draconequus War? First I've heard of it. This could be interesting.
10176140
It's referenced in a few of my other head-canon stories, starting with Reign of Chaos: Discord's Story and continuing into When Darkness Falls and The Return of the King
Oh dear. It appears that Clover doesn't know about Nightmare Moon.
10176900
he shouldn't have.. yet. It slipped. Clover now knows Princess Luna was banished sometime into his future. He doesn't know bout 'why' or 'how'. So he doesn't know about Nightmare Moon specifically
10176932 Well, that could make the reunion with Celestia and Luna kind of awkward.
Okay my feels how dare you
10181707
Oh I dare!
The reveal of Starlight's past was very well executed! I even teared up a little...
That was like more than 1000 years ago. Better question is who isn't his descendant.
10182127
Thank you!
10173325
Yeah, me too. I don't know why Twilight's like, "Why are you so mad? You shouldn't be so mad over a house of cards."
10182261
Yeah, just like, "Who isn't George Washington's descendant?"
Discord... what did you do...?
10182674
I think the better question is, "What didn't he do?"
Nice Samurai Jack reference with the chapter name.
10182760
Thank you! I love that show!
10182674
Discord did a good. He left a little souvenir for Clover. Starlight's gonna find a letter or something from her ancestor and I'll get the warm fuzzies.
And thus it all comes full circle.
DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Good story. Many feels!
10182966
Thank you!
Giving up milkshakes so quickly, huh?
Nice! No dislikes! Perfect record! You have earned your 24th like!
