Sequel now.I don't want ifs ands or buts about it do it NOW!

But Episode one takes place on "The longest day of the 1000th year" implying that the year is 1000 C.E. (Celestial Era) or S.E. (Solar Era) etc. and that the equestrian calendar restarted on Luna's banishment .

Other than that your numbers match pretty well with my own head cannon.

6701596 Calendars changing don't change the years, just how the months and days are arranged. So, if the Equestrian year 0 is Discord's defeat, then everything before that is labeled accordingly, whereas everything after is After Discord. Luna's banishment wouldn't change how the years are aligned, because doing that just to change it again after Luna's return would leave historians confused.

6701596 That's fair. My headcanon puts the beginning of time after Discord is defeated because before and during his reign, time doesn't really matter, so using AD would be an absolute time scale. Starting a new era of time when Nightmare Moon is banished wouldn't change the absolute time scale, but you're right, it would put Nightmare Moon's return at the thousandth year of the Age of Order, and her defeat as the beginning of the Second Age of Harmony. I put way too much time into making up a timeline of the age of Equestria when I was running a DnD game in the world of My Little Pony

woah.... so Sunburst became a Prince of Friendship?? Not a particularly reasonable one but with the past Trauma I guess it can be forgiven.
......Which is a lesson he seemed to have missed.:unsuresweetie:

This is good. And completely in character for such a hard lesson.

You can't change the past.:fluttershysad:

6702118 Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :twilightsmile:

6701448 We'll see :twilightsmile:

Hey, I also had weird headcanon names for these times! AD was After Discord, BC was Before Chaos, And CE was Celestial era!

6702304 NOT A "we'll see" it should be "a sir, yes, sir."

This either needs:

1: A sequel with Twilight and Starlight finding Sunburst's cutie mark, if it's still there, that is.

2: A spin- off in Alicorn Sunburst's alternate timeline, so we can see more in detail what happened there.

6702638 6705198 I was definitely thinking about a possible sequal with them looking for his cutie mark, but I do like the idea of Alicorn Sunburst's timeline as well

6705334 I don't mind either way; I think both are interesting ideas and I'd read whatever sort of sequel you decide to do. I could think of a lot of good ideas for both of them.

6705334 I just need a sequel cause this felt unfinished to me.

A good story, but leaves some unanswered questions, such as what Starlight did in that alternate timeline that caused her to become a wanted criminal. Or how Sunburst became and alicorn and why he hates Starlight so much.

6708422 Well Starlight tried to steal his cutiemark using dark magic, and since future Starlight knocked her down, I figured it gave Sunburst enough time to get guards to deal with her. That's also why he hates her, because she never got over her anger with him and she had tried to completely ruin his life. Sunburst being an alicorn is because with his cutiemark, he was a powerful enough magic user that he became Princess Celestia's faithful student.

Sorry those weren't answered, there was just no real way I could add the answers without breaking the story flow as far as I could see

So they just left alicorn sunburst tied up in the past? wouldn't somepony find him and that would slightly change the future?

6730364 ...

-buy some apples!-

Time Turner would like to take this time to remind you that only you can prevent story destroying paradoxes

6730364 Well, theoretically, if he followed the same rules as Twilight did in canon, he would get jumped back to the future along with them.

Which would cause a whole host of problems on its own, now I think about it.

Interesting story.

Why does Prince Sunburst, and everyone else for that matter, not notice the entirely literal elephant Purple Twilycorn Princess in the room? :rainbowhuh:

6986677
When Prince Sunburst first arrives at the map room he was probably distracted by Starlight to immediately notice Twilight but once they were equipped with Inhibitor rings what's his excuse to not then realise Twi was an Alicorn?
The sudden appearance of an unknown Alicorn, one who was working with a known criminal at that, would really attract a lot of attention.

6987979 Uhhhhhhhhhhh

...yes...

Because I am not a smart person, if I had to hazard a guess

Man, did Starlight and Twilight forget Sunbursticorn tied up and unconscious in an alleyway in the past? They came back to make sure the past happened as it was supposed to, yet they managed to forget that little detail. I wonder what sort of effects an alicorn Sunburst stuck in the past would cause.

I could not enjoy the story not because I thought the story was bad but because of what they established with Sunburst character later

It's an alternate universe, stewpid.
