“Whew! okay, spike! What’s next?” Twilight said to spike leaving her room. “Well, you just finished your last paperwork, your next schedule is…. visiting sick poies & encouraging them in ponyville hospital!” Spike answered. Scrolling down the to-do-list. “No problem. Let’s do it in a zippy and go get some lunch!”
 
It seemed liked a normal day in twilight’s life. As she walked down the road, she saw rarity and pinkie talking about their interests, and rainbow dash flying through the sky. Nothing was wrong. She and spike arrived at the hospital.  
Nurse redheart and her partners greeted them, showing them where to go. Twilight liked visiting hospital.  
She enjoyed seeing other ponies getting well. But today, she accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up in room 370.  
Patient: screw loose.  
She wanted to leave, but spike told her not to. She opened the door, there, on the bed, a bule skined, messy haired mare was sitting. Normally, patients in 3rd floor didn’t even count as rational pony. They were mentally disabled, one way or another.  
But screw glared at them, and said “hello princess twilight, it’s such an honor to see you here. And you too, spike. I’m very sorry i couldn’t comb my mane. I look so rude. But doctor didn’t allow me to have anything since i tried to escape the building with rubber band and a chopstick.”  
Screw loose was calm, polite and gentle. Twilight was feeling uncanny, yet strange curiosities hit her head.  
“How do you know her name?” Spike asked screw.  
“Not all crazy ponies bite, spike. Some can read newspapers, some can use tv…” screw replied smiling.  
She asked twilght, “ so how’s princess celestia and luna? Do they remember who i am? Do they still conceal what’s in the canterot castle basement lab 407?”  
Twilight didn’t understand a thing screw said.  
“What lab? Why do they know you? HOW DO YOU KNOW THEM?” Twilght asked screw again, with a concerned voice. Screw loose looked at twilight. Her eyes were shaking, teardrop fell to the bedsheet. Screw looked outside of the window on the left, and said.  
“I’m sorry princess twilight, i thought they told you about that, since, you entered the portal and visited that place and all…” twilght was terrified. Screw knew something. but how? She had so many things to ask.  
She tried to ask, but screw continued. “I know you’re very surprised. I know you’ve visited that place. I heard you saying the word. The word we don’t have in equestria… “ screw looked down at her hoove. “Hand.”  
Twilight remembered that she mentioned that word when she helped redheart caring sick fillies. ‘Helping hand’ she said when redheart asked her to help them.  
Redheart didn’t know what that word. But screw did.  
Listening while sitting on the sofa next to the reception desk. Twilight was scared. Twilght tried to ask her again. But right after screw said that, nurse pony came by the door and pulled twilight and spike out. Screw watched them leaving, in disappointment. “Have a good day, princess, enjoy your meal, i hope hayburger is still tasty like it used to. I figured it out when you turned around, red vinyl chair stain and oil. You should shower more often. Good bye.”
 
“Oh, and tell that rainbow friend i said hi!”
 
Two hours passed. Twilight took a train to canterlot.  
Princess celestia was there. “Why hello, twilight? What brought you here? Anything i can help?” Celestia welcomed twilight with a smile.
 
Twilight asked her.“what’s in the basement lab 407?”  
“….. sorry twilight, meeting is over.”
 
Twilight’s curiosity grew stronger and stronger. She sneaked in at night in cantetlot basement, but doors were locked. High level sealing magic. She snapped.  
She flew to the inforamtion archive and started searching like maniac. Finally, she found a photo in <video_record_screencap-day_92_lab407_project_timegate>,  
And little memo,’ i can’t do it anymore, i saw the distorted future and i must stop it.’  
And right next to that photo, there was a file labeled  
“Time portal fail log- change project to bipedal ‘human’ world potal.” And a order from alicorn council.  
’ former administrator can no longer participate. Set time in 12000 years later not 2000 years. Nopony should know what happens. ’  
Twilight wanted to see more, but yellow glow from magic shined behind her, a voice with anger said “ NO MORE, PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE.”
 
Twilight woke up at 8 a.m she had a beautiful day yesterday.
 
 
Few hours later, spike asked to twilight.  
“So twi, did you find out what screw loose was saying?”
 
……… twilght went to canterlot.
