In the process of looking for clues as to the cause of Nightmare Moon's rise, Twilight Sparkle accidentally gets TrappedInThePast. After realizing the opportunity her position presents, she resolves to prevent Luna from becoming Nightmare Moon in the first place.

MeanwhileInTheFuture, Twilight Sparkle discovers a prophecy which talks about the imminent return of a malevolent entity called [[OhCrap Darklight Star]], who fought the two Princesses a thousand years ago before getting imprisoned in the North Star.



* [[CourtroomEpisode Courtroom Chapter]]: In Chapter 10, Blue Star has to convince Equestria's Royal Court that her reforms are, despite Lady Blueblood's claims, actually beneficial to Equestria.



* DoomedByCanon: As follows (paraphrased for space)...
-->'''Prologue''': ''On the longest day of the thousandth year, Darklight Star will escape and wrought vengeance upon Equestria...[plotline glimpse irrelevant to example]...I'm sorry dear reader for my mistake... ~[Original Timeline] Twilight Sparkle.''
-->'''Chapters 1 and 2''': *Twilight bucks about with time spells and gets trapped in the past before Nightmare Moon's rise*

* DoomedByCanon: As follows (paraphrased for space)...
-->'''Prologue''': ''On
In the longest day of the thousandth year, Darklight Star will escape and wrought vengeance upon Equestria...[plotline glimpse irrelevant to example]...I'm sorry dear reader for my mistake... ~[Original Timeline] prologue, we see Twilight Sparkle.''
-->'''Chapters 1
reading a prophecy much like [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon the one from the show's pilot]]. At the end of the prologue, we see a note from ''another'' Twilight Sparkle, saying that she did the best she could to improve things, and 2''': *Twilight bucks about with time spells and she hopes the Princesses will forgive her one day. And finally, in Chapter 1, the Twilight from the canon timeline gets trapped in TrappedInThePast and adopts the past before Nightmare Moon's rise*name Blue Star. It's not hard to figure out where things are going from there.
* DramaticIrony: “Celestia, listen to me. Twilight Sparkle is ''not'' Blue Star.”



* GivingRadioToTheRomans: Blue Star brought numerous technological advances to Equestria from 1000 years in the future, and went even farther than that, actually doing a lot of further building on them within the past, beyond what had been accomplished in her native time. Ironically, one of the results was a stable time-viewing spell, which would have allowed her to avoid the whole situation if it had been around in the original timeline.



* InSpiteOfANail: For all the social changes Blue Star brought about (not to mention Luna's continued presence as a leader of Equestria), the world still developed very similarly, with Twilight still becoming Celestia's student, Shining Armor still developing a crush on Cadance, and so forth. WordOfGod is that this is an inherent trait of timeline changes in his version of the universe: The timeline tries to stay as static as possible, and pushes probability around to do so; therefore, any change which can actually have a longterm effect on the timeline has to be ''big''. [[spoiler:Luckily, the Order of Stars has been continuing Blue Star's legacy, preventing her improvements from getting canceled out by the timeline.]]
* InTheirOwnImage: Blue Star pulls off a non-evil example; she advances society by hundreds of years worth of progress in just five years [[spoiler:(with help from the Order of Stars to keep things going after she gets banished)]], leading to a far more egalitarian and technologically advanced future than the one she came from. In the process, she becomes pretty much the most famous historical figure we've seen in the new timeline.



* TrappedInThePast: Twilight Sparkle/Blue Star

to:

* StockUnsolvedMysteries: InUniverse, the disappearance of Blue Star has become one. [[EntertaininglyWrong Twilight's theory is that she got]] TrappedInThePast [[EntertaininglyWrong trying to warn the Princesses about Darklight Star]].
* TrappedInThePast: Twilight Sparkle/Blue StarStar. At first she wanted to leave the timeline unaltered, and to take on a new name so that [[TrickedOutTime even if she shows up in the history books it won't be as herself]]. Although the pseudonym bit works, she still ends up GivingRadioToTheRomans and completely changing the timeline.
* {{WAFF}}: One of the major features of the Twilight/Trixie chapters.
* WhatYearIsThis: Blue Star asks Surprise the year near the end of their first conversation. Surprise being herself, she doesn't find it an odd question at all.
