For Twilight Sparkle, the increased lifespan that came with princesshood had forced her to outlive most of her beloved friends and her special somepony. Luckily, a simple spell to go back in time would be all she needed to get one last non-obstructive glimpse and finally move on.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, her plans never tend to go as expected, and she would learn that centuries could be lived in but a single day.

Centuries after most of her friends have all passed away, Twilight decides to make one last trip into the past. No interacting, no greeting deceased friends, no reunion with her beloved marefriend. Just one quick glance at a life long lost.

However, for better or worse, she’ll end up getting much, much more than that.
