My Little Pony: The Human Chronicles

Episode 18: Play it Again Spike

At the moment Toby was currently enjoying a blissful dream playing out inside his head whilst the sun slowly began to rise up outside the windows nearby. He turned around his bed and yawned a bit before suddenly the sound a loud tuba was heard, startling him awake. The impact of his fall also caused a mirror nearby to fall over, it shattered upon impact.

"Opps…" Toby said meekly, before Pinkie Pie burst through the front door.

"Good morning Toby-Woeby!" she yelled happily. She then gasped sharply when she saw the broken mirror. "Toby! You broke a mirror!"

She zoomed over to him and picked him up with her front hooves, she looked him overly seriously. "Do you know what this means!?" she exclaimed dramatically.

"Uh… my mirror is broken?" Toby suggested, not knowing what to make of the situation.

"It means you now have seven years of bad luck!" Pinkie Pie cried in distress. "Oh, poor Toby!"

"Pinkie, that's just a superstition." Toby told her. "Like Twilight said, those kinds of things are just a bunch of hooey!"

"But Toby…" Pinkie began as Toby headed for the door.

"Relax Pink, nothing's gonna…" The red head started to say before he ended up tripping and falling right out of his tree house and onto the grassy ground below. He groaned in pain. "Ok I believe…"

Pinkie somehow stretched her neck down until she was fairly close to Toby. "Told you so!" she said in a sing-song voice. Toby just groaned and slammed his head into the ground again.

Later that day, Toby continued to be afflicted with nothing but bad luck. First, while he was walking near the forest he ended up tripping over a rock, hurting his nose.

"Stupid rock…" he mumbled as he rubbed his nose. He got up and after just a few more steps he was struck in the forehead by a bendy looking branch that had been blown back by the wind. "Stupid branch…"

Toby cautiously looked around for anything else that might hit him or cause him to trip and proceeded ahead. Little did he know he accidently forgot to check for the stump in his way, which made him stubble into a another tree and disturb a bee hive. All the bees cam swarming out and made the formation of an arrow pointed at him.

The red head screamed and ran off while the bees chased him close behind. He dashes through the trees at top speed as the swarm of angry bees continued to gain on him. Toby spotted a river up ahead and thought fast. He jumped into the river while the bees just flew over and into the distance. He raised his head out of the water, soaking wet, but relieved. Toby sighed blissfully, then notices something else bubbling in the water and ducks back under only to fly out again.

"OW! OW! OW!" he screamed as little bird like fish with sharp snapping beaks pop out of the water. Toby the lands on a grassy spot where and saw Spike standing right in front of him.

"Uh, Toby!" Spike said, friendly. "Why were you in the sea squawker pond?"

Toby pulls a lone sea squawker off his shoulder, it snapped at him and caused him to throw it back in the pond.

"Oh you know, just checking the chlorine…" Toby said, sounding a bit sore.

"Boy… what happened to you?" Spike questioned, noticing Toby's disheveled state.

"Nothing… just that I ended up breaking a mirror and now I'm doomed to seven years of bad luck!" Toby spat out.

Spike laughed a bit. "Come on Toe, you don't actually believe that stuff do you?"

"This morning; no. After the last few minutes; yes." Toby confirmed.

"Toby, you know what Twilight always says; superstitions are just a bunch of…"

Before Spike could finish an anvil suddenly dropped right near that, scaring the bejeebers out of the two boys.

"Seriously!? An anvil!?" Toby exclaimed like he couldn't believe it. They both looked up and saw that a group of Pegasi, including Derpy were carrying a delivery wagon above them and had just dropped some of their cargo.

"Oops! Sorry!" Derpy called down.

"It's cool Derpy." Toby assured her before throwing up the anvil back into the cargo wagon and sighing. "Ever wish you could just… redo something over so that you could… you know… get it right?"

"Do I? Man, if I had something like that I try to woo Rarity as many times as I want till I get it right!" Spike exclaimed, excited. "Oh man, that would be awesome!"

"Nice to know where your priorities are, dude." Toby said, dryly. "Come on, let's head back into town and see if there's something else we can do before…"

Toby had began to walk towards Ponyville before he ended up tripping over something for the umpteenth time.

"That happens?" Spike guessed. Toby just grunted in confirmation, turned around and saw that he had just tripped over what appears to be a strange stopwatch.

"What's that?" Spike asked as Toby picked it up, stood back onto his feet and looked at it.

"It's a stop watch… only it looks like of broken…" Toby told him.

"Try and start it." Spike suggested.

"Yeah, one sec I just gotta wind something…" Toby said as he wound a small object on the back of the stop watch and pressed a button on the stop watch to make it go. Then suddenly, the strangest thing began to happen, it was if everything was going back in reverse like someone had hit the rewind button on the world. Everything and everyone continued to reverse themselves until finally it reached a point where Toby had just tripped over the stop watch… again.

Looking around him and quickly realizing what just happened, Toby spun around and looked at the stop watch, which was still lying on the ground, wide eyed.

"Whoa…" he breathed. Spike just looked at him confused, he apparently did not remember that everything was just winded back on its own.

"Whoa what?" Spike asked him, as he picked up the stop watch. "You tripped over this, so what?"

"Dude, see that winder on the back?" Toby questioned quickly. "Turn it and see what happens!"

"Why?" Spike inquired, even more confused.

"Just do it!" Toby insisted.

Spike just shrugged, winded the back a little and pressed the top button on the stop watch. One again time, began to reverse itself again till it reached the point where Toby had just landed out of the sea squawker pond and in front of a now stunned Spike. Toby looked Spike in the eye.

"Dude…" Spike breathed.

"I know…" Toby said, nodding.

Later, both boys loom over the strange watch and stare it curiously, trying to figure how it did what it did.

"What do you think it is?" Spike questioned.

Toby picked it up. "It seems to be some kind of… magical re-do watch, something that lets you repeat certain moments, depending on how far you wind it," he deduced.

"If that's true then... we have to test it out one more time, you know… just to be sure." Spike suggested.

"Ok, then…" Toby said. "So…"

Spike shoved the watch towards Toby hastily. "You go first!" he said quickly.

"Way to be a man," The sixteen year old told him, sarcastically. Before winding and starting it up. Time then rewound back to when Toby had jumped into the lake to escape from the bees. He raised his head out of the water, soaking wet, but relieved. Toby sighed blissfully, then notices something else bubbling in the water and ducks back under only to fly out again.

"OW! OW! OW!" he screamed as little bird like fish with sharp snapping beaks pop out of the water.

"Hey!" A stallion walking by called out. "No feeding the sea squawkers!"

He gestured to a sign that read what he had just said, word for word; 'No Feeding the Sea Squawkers'.

Spike then rushed over to Toby as he landed face first into the grass, they both exchange glances and stare at the stopwatch nearby.

"Ok… that clinches it." Toby confirmed. "This… 'Re-Do Watch'… it's for real."

"Eeyup." Spike said, nodding.

Both boys exchange glances, grab the watch and zoomed back to Toby's house. When they got inside, Toby closed the door behind them and set the watch on the floor in between the two of them.

"Ok, here's what we know so far; this little watch seems to have the power to redo certain moments in time depending on how far you wind the winder on the back of this." Toby began to explained. "Now I'm thinking if the day passes and it's tomorrow then all the moments that happened yesterday will be completely inaccessible. Plus, only those who have used it can remember what they had to undo, I'm betting everyone else will just experience déjà vu."

Spike quickly snatched it. "Ok, got it, so what do we use it for first?" he asked eagerly.

Toby gently took it back. "Spike, slow down man. We need to think this through, we have any no idea how powerful this thing or what the ramifications of messing with time could be, we need to keep a clear head about this."

Spike stared at his human best friend dumfounded. "Man… it's like I don't even know you anymore…"

"Yeah, I know what you mean, a younger me would probably be using this thing till the cows came home." Toby remarked, he saw Spike staring at him again. "What? When you work at a farm as much as I do, you pick up on a few things."

"So what should we do with it?" Spike inquired.

"Well I think it be best if we use it ONLY for emergencies, you know, fix mistakes we really need to fix or something." Toby suggested, right before a book unexpectedly bonked him on the head. "Like for starters going back to the beginning of the day and stopping myself from ever breaking that stupid mirror…"

"Agreed," Spike said, with nod while Toby began to wind up the watch.

"Remember, once time resets itself come straight here, understand?" Toby inquired.

Spike saluted him like a little solider. "Will do!"

Toby nodded and pressed the button and once he did time began to rewind all the way back to the beginning of the day, all the way to back when he was still sleeping in bed. He turned around his bed and yawned a bit before suddenly the sound a loud tuba was heard, startling him awake. The impact of his fall also caused a mirror nearby to begin to fall over but at the last second he used his magic to stop it from falling and put it right back up.

He then got right back up just as Pinkie Pie burst through the front door.

"Good morning Toby-Woeby!" she yelled happily.

Toby groaned as he got up and give her a pleased smile, no doubt happy that he was able to prevent himself from breaking the mirror like he did the first time.

"Oh, Morning Pinkie," he said, before she unexpectedly popped up extremely close to him.

"Did you have a good sleep?" she asked curiously and excitedly.

"Yes…" Toby replied slowly. "Now… I'm not trying to be rude or anything… but I'm kinda expecting someone in three… two…"

"Hey Toby!"

"One." Toby finished, and just as he did Spike just bounced onto the deck of the house and entered.

"Hey, Toby! I'm here!" he called out.

"Good job Spike, right on time." Toby said with a smile. Pinkie Pie seemed amazed by this.

"Wow! You knew Spike was gonna be here before he even showed up!" Pinkie gasped, she leaned toward him closely. "Are you psychic?"

"Uh… no… I don't think so…" Toby replied slowly. "Unless that's something you can do here…"

"Hmm… not usually." Pinkie shrugged, this got her a raised brow from Toby, who looked at her curiously. "Well gotta go wake the girls! TTFN!"

Pinkie bounced out of the living room and out of the house, passing by Spike while doing so, who rushed over to Toby.

"Do you got it?" Toby whispered.

Spike held up the Re-Do Watch. "Oh yeah!" he replied. "So what now?"

"Now…" Toby began as he took the watch. "We try and put this thing to good use!"

"Sweet!" Spike silently cheered before Pinkie Pie popped but in-between them.

"Hey guys, whatcha talking about?" she asked innocently. Both Toby and Spike cry out, startled and back away.

"Oh… uh… we were talking about… nothing. Yeah! Nothing!" Toby said nervously as she struggled to lie. "Right Spike?"

"Yeah… nothing at all!" Spike insisted, just as nervous as he was.

Pinkie paused for a moment before speaking. "Okey, dokey, lokey! See you guys, later!" she chirped.

"Bye…!" The boy said slowly as they waved goodbye to her. Once she was gone, they quickly zoomed out of the room.

---

Later, Toby was just about to place himself inside a large cannon, similar to the one the Cutie Mark Crusaders accidently shot him out of three years ago, with Spike by his side.

"Isn't this great Spike?" Toby inquired to his small dragon accomplice. "With this watch whenever we make a mistake we can just back a few seconds and keep going till we get it right!"

"So… why are you shooting yourself out of a cannon again?" Spike questioned.

"Well want to see if Baltimare is having tea time right now and this is the fastest way to do it." Toby explained before lowering himself inside. "Now when I say 'go' pull the cord and fire!"

"Got it!" Spike said with a nod as he ran over to the back of the cannon and grabbed the cord.

"Ok… go!" Toby called out. Spike pulled the cord, but instead of firing Toby it exploded a bit on the inside. Toby poked his head out, his body and clothes were all scorched and covered in soot. He coughed a bit before taking out and winding the watch.

"Redo…" he coughed. And with that time reversed itself back to the moment when Toby was about to lower himself into the cannon.

"Ok, this time I've added a little less gunpowder, so get ready to fire." Toby informed Spike, before lowering himself inside.

Spike grabbed the cord again. "Ok… your funeral," he muttered.

"Already had one." The human reminded him, before lowering himself inside again. "Ok… go!"

Spike pulled the cord once again and while it did fire Toby out it didn't really fire him that far, and caused him to fly right through a tree. Spike scooted over to Toby, who had splinters on his face.

"So… not enough gunpowder?" Spike inquired, Toby responded with a nod and groan. "Redo?"

Toby winced before answering. "Make it so."

Spike wound up the watch and pressed the button and with that Toby was back in the cannon before it even fired.

"Ok, got enough powder, got enough kick, I'm ready to pass over Baltimare!" Toby declared, before lowering himself. "Fire away!"

Spike nodded and pulled the cord, Toby then went flying straight out of the cannon and into the horizon. A few minutes later, Toby came back around and used the edges of his feet to skid across the ground where he stopped near Spike holding a tray of tea and wore black sunglasses.

"Tea delivery! Straight from Baltimare!" Toby announced as he and Spike took a cup. "I even managed to grab a little something from Los Pegasus, pretty cool place, remind me of a place back home called Hollywood."

Spike took a sip of tea and sighed. "Awesome…" he breathed.

"Say… you think maybe we should tell the girls about this thing?" Toby wondered. "I'll bet Twilight would love to get her hooves on this thing!"

"No way! We found it! Besides, you know Twilight, she'll probably keep studying it so much we'll never get to use it again!" Spike pointed out.

"I still don't like lying to them…" Toby stated.

"It's not lying! Exactly… we're just… not talking about this thing around them." Spike told him, a bit unsure. "You know, a secret."

"Look I know I've only been friends with you guys for nearly two years but even I know friends aren't suppose to keep secrets like this from each other." Toby said.

"Only if we have to." Spike stated. "Now come on, there's probably some even better stuff we can do with this thing!"

"Alright!" Toby agreed, both boys ran off into town.

---

The two boys waltzed their way into town ready to test out their little Redo watch and as soon as they stepped into Ponyville a cart rolled by right by them and crashed into a building. Acting fast they redid time just a few seconds and when the cart was about to head their way, Toby managed to stop it before it could crash.

The owner of the cart caught up to it and wiped his forehead relieved. He gave the two boys his thanks as well as a couple of bits.

As they continued walking Toby and Spike continued to see a whole bunch of bad things happening to everypony in town, as if they were all hit by bad luck. One little filly had just dropped her ice cream and was now crying, two stallions had just dropped an expensive package they were delivering and Scootaloo had just crashed head first into a large batch of hay.

The boys nodded and redid time again. Using his speed Toby managed to stop the filly's ice cream from ever hitting the ground and caught the package the stallions were delivering while Spike managed to catch Scootaloo before she ever hit the batch of hay. Everypony that they had helped and saved gave the two boys their thanks.

They both strolled through town with pleased looks on their faces until they see an Earth Pony window washer, who was working on one of the windows of Town Hall, accidently fall from the platform he was on due it being unbalanced. They both nod and redid time a few seconds. Toby zoomed them both over to below the platform and used his magic to keep it steady while Spike held the rope tightly, this prevented the platform from becoming unbalanced.

"Don't worry, sir!" Toby called out. "We got ya!"

The Earth Pony whipped some sweat from his forehead. "Hey, thanks a bunch you two! If you hadn't shown up when you did I would have fallen off this thing!"

"No problem, we're just glad we noticed it." Spike said, both he and Toby smiled at each other and high five.

Later, both Toby and Spike walked into Sugar Cube Corner laughing giddily and excitedly.

"Man… this thing is awesome!" Toby exclaimed, gesturing to the Redo watch.

"No question!" Spike agreed, as he took the watch and stared it happily. "Man, this thing makes problems big and small so much easier!"

"Yeah, it feels so good to do nice things for somepony doesn't it?" Toby remarked.

"Then why did you yell at that guy playing the guitar in front of that old restaurant?" Spike wondered.

"Come on, singing about losing his girl? Oh wah, wah! Dude, you're playing guitar in front of a disgusting, old restaurant, no wonder she's gone!" Toby replied scathingly, a bit disgusted that the stallion did such a thing. Spike gave him a look.

"Relax, I didn't mean it. I was just joking around , that's all…" Toby assured him.

"Ok then…" Spike said slowly. "So… can I borrow the Redo watch for a while now?"

"Why do you need it all of a sudden?" Toby questioned.

"Uh… special reason." Spike replied, his eyes darting back and forth.

"Spike, don't misuse it." Toby told him, almost like a parent talking a child. "That's a very powerful item you got there."

"Come on Toe, we've both used it a hundred times for good today, why can't I use it just once for me?" Spike reasoned.

"It's not about how many times we use it Spike, it's how we use it." Toby stated.

"It's not a big deal, I'll bring it back when I'm done." Spike said. "I promise, ok?"

"Ok…" Toby sighed. Spike gave him a smile and a nod before heading out the door. Toby rubbed his forehead a little, obviously getting a headache and sat down at one of the tables. He then spots Mrs. Cake at the counter.

"One Milk please, Mrs. Cake!" Toby called out, before slumping down on the table. "Make it a double!"

She nodded understandingly and walked off to get Toby's milk. Toby let out one more sigh before he heard a voice beside him.

"Toby?"

Toby jumped and let out a startled yelp before he saw Twilight standing beside him.

"Oh… Twilight it's just you…" Toby said, relieved.

"Uh… what's the matter with you?" The unicorn questioned. "You seem kind of… jumpy."

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine, just a bit worried Spike be… getting in over his head for some reason." Toby admitted, he saw the worried look on her face and instantly regretted his words. "But I'm sure it's nothing, so don't worry."

"Well, ok…" Twilight said slowly, while Toby was handed his glass of milk, which he took a big drink out of. "So… are going to do it today?"

"Do what?" Toby asked curiously.

"My hoof-to-hoof combat training." Twilight reminded him. "With my magic… on the fritz, you told me you'd teach me how to fight so I could better protect myself!"

"Oh! Ha-ha! Right! Almost forgot!" Toby exclaimed. "Come on, let's head to the library!"

Twilight nodded and proceeded ahead whilst Toby finished off his drink and placed a few bits on the counter before leaving.

---

Both Toby and Twilight later arrived back the Library. After Twilight managed to move most of her books and other items out of the way, they both stood in a large empty spot of the library where they would train. Toby stood in the middle of it.

"Ok first off, I personally consider it an honor to be your teacher." Toby admitted. "Fair warning though; to teach you how to protect yourself I'm gonna have to throw a lot at you. Like pretty much everything I've learned from watching all those Kung Fu movies… and from all the other fights I've gotten into over the years, so just remember; this could hurt quite a bit."

Twilight nodded. "I understand."

"Good." Toby said, as he threw away his vest and rolled up his sleeves which revealed multiple bruises on his arms.

"Goodness… what happened?" Twilight asked, concerned.

"The job." Toby replied simply. "Now, combat is about controlling conflict. Putting the battle on your terms. You should always be acting and never reacting."

Twilight used her magic to levitate a quill which she used to write down what he had just said on a notepad "Interesting…" she mused.

"From what I've seen, your fighting style is use magic to levitate objects and throw them at other creatures or to get away, not to mention most of the time your studying." Toby deduced. "If I had to guess… I'd say you've never been in an actual fight in your life."

Twilight set the quill and notepad down and approached Toby. "Well I…" she began.

"Try and hit me." Toby told her.

"What?" Twilight exclaimed, shocked. "I'm not gonna hit you!"

"Do it." Toby said sternly.

Twilight shrugged, got on her hind legs and tried to hit Toby with her forehoof. Her jab brushes over Toby's shoulder and gives Toby the opportunity to grab her fore arm and flip her onto her back with a flick of his wrist.

"Oh… what just happened?" Twilight asked, dazed.

"Good jab, but do you know where you went wrong?" Toby asked her.

"Uh…" Twilight began, trying to come up with something. "I let my guard down?"

"Close. You allowed me to dictate the terms of the battle." Toby explained. "Don't worry. You'll learn over time."

Toby then spotted an open book on the ground with a picture that resembled the Re-Do watch on one of the pages. He walked over and bent down to inspect it.

"Uh… what's this thing? In the book?" Toby questioned, gesturing to the Re-Do watch's picture. Twilight walked over to see what he was pointing at.

"Oh that! That is the legendary Re-Do watch." Twilight explained. Toby was mildly surprised that he got the name right but hid it and allowed her to continue. "It's said that with it anypony can go back and redo a moment in time where they made a mistake."

"Sounds pretty cool…" Toby said with a small smile.

"I guess… but from what I've read it's also something like a… curse of some kind." Twilight stated, that last word 'curse', made Toby's eyes widen.

"Curse? What kind of curse? You said there was no such thing as curses!" Toby said, in a slightly panicked tone.

"I said curses are artificial, fake magic, but this kind of magic is very similar to what a 'curse' can do." Twilight said.

"Which is?" Toby inquired, interested.

"Well it's said that if the Re-Do watch is used to much the strain on the space-time continuum could cause it to… well… break time." Twilight replied.

"Break time!?" Toby exclaimed, shocked.

Twilight nodded in confirmation. "That's right, but don't worry nopony has ever found the Re-Do watch so I don't think that…"

Before Twilight could finish her sentence she noticed that Toby was now long gone, like he had never been in the room at all.

"Toby?" she wondered. "Where did he go?"

---

Meanwhile, just outside the Carousel Boutique, a familiar purple and green creature was zipping from hiding spot to hiding spot, making sure nopony had seen him or was even watching him.

He soon got closer and closer to the door but when he heard the door opening he quickly ducked into a bush as Sweetie Belle exited the Boutique.

"Bye Rarity! I'm off to some more crusading!" she called out. As soon as she left Spike grabbed the door with his scaly little hand before it could close and snuck inside, quietly closing the door behind him and making sure not to ring the bell next to it.

Spike looked around the front area of the boutique nervously as he continued to tip-toe around, then he heard the sound of hooves coming down the steps and quickly hid under a cardboard box. Then the fashioniesta pony herself came down and began using her magic to go around several glittery and non glittery fabrics.

"Now let's see… where is the fabric I was going to use for Sapphire Shores' new outfit?" Rarity wondered to herself.

While she was distracted, the box Spike was under began to move itself toward the staircase and whenever Rarity looked in his general direction he managed to make it look like the box was staying still. The only other person that saw the box move was Rarity's cat Opalescence, though she didn't really seem to care that much As soon as he got up to the stairs, he zoomed up it like a cheetah and arrived in her bedroom. Taking one last look to make sure he was alone, he searched through the bedroom till he found a purple and gold locked book. He lets out an excited little chuckle.

"This is gonna be so sweet!" Spike said to himself

"What are you doing?" A voice asked, seemingly from out of nowhere.

Surprised by the voices words, he let go of the book and completely freaked out as he tried desperately to make a safe catch. Finally he got hold of it and turned around, and saw Toby standing behind him.

"Toby! When'd you get here?" Spike asked.

"Saw you sneaking in here so I teleported inside." Toby replied, he glanced at the diary. "Is that Rarity's private diary?"

"Uh… no?" Spike replied, glancing back and forth.

"It is isn't it?" Toby questioned, folding his arms. The nervous look on Spike's face just screams 'yes'. "Please tell me this isn't a ridiculous attempt to find out if Rarity likes you or not."

Okay. It's not a ridiculous attempt to find out if she likes me." Spike said before pausing, a wide smile appears on his face "It's a brilliant one!"

Spike laughed to himself, while Toby just rolled his eyes wearily.

"Look, hear me out. This is my one chance to find out for sure how much Rarity likes me." Spike stated. "And if I just so happen to get caught I can just use the Re-Do watch and start over. Easy!"

As soon as Spike held out the Re-Do watch, Toby immediately snatched it.

"Spike, I can't even begin to tell you how morally wrong this is. Invading another pony's privacy is just plain mean! Not to mention quite dangerous." Toby told him.

"What do you mean?" Spike asked.

"Twilight told me a bit about this thing when I saw a picture of it in one her books, she said if it's used too many times it could break time!" Toby exclaimed. "We have to get rid of it!"

"Aw, come on Toe!" Spike practically begged as he grabbed the Re-Do watch from him. "It's just this one time, I promise! And besides we don't how many times exactly it would take to actually break time so…"

Toby snatched it back. "No! We're getting rid of it!"

"Hey! Give it back!" Spike cried, as he grabbed the Re-Do watch and tried to pry it from Toby's hands. The two quickly wound up in a tug-a-war over the watch.

"Back off scale boy! Who say's you're in charge here!?" Toby demanded. The two continued to wrestle over the watch until the sound of hoofs approaching made them freeze. Then they heard of someone humming a lovey tune.

"Alright, now that I have that fabric it is time to add the Pièce de résistanceto my masterpiece!"

"Uh-oh! It's Rarity!" Spike whispered, in a panicking tone.

"Yeah, what was your first clue?" Toby asked, sardonically. They then heard the humming getting closer. "We got to hide!"

Spike nodded then zoomed over to a flowerpot, where he was pretty easy to spot. Toby walked over and put his hands on his hips.

"Not there, dummy!" Toby said, annoyed. He then pulled him away from the pot. "Come on!"

Toby and Spike slid under Rarity's bed, laid flat on their stomachs and did their best to stay quiet as the white fashioniesta pony herself entered the room. She continued humming as she began to use her magic on the fabric and use it to finish up her dress.

"Well this could be worse…" Toby muttered quietly. "Oh no it couldn't!"

"Actually… it can…" Spike whispered tensely as he directed Toby to the front door where they saw the familiar purple hooves of another pony entering the room.

"Rarity?" Twilight called out.

"Twilight?"

"Sorry to disturb you but have you seen Toby anywhere? I can't find him," she said. "In fact, I haven't seen Spike around either…"

"Sorry Twilight, I haven't seen either of them around all day." Rarity shrugged.

"That's strange… they've never done this before…" Twilight mused. "You think they're hiding something from us?"

"Oh pish posh darling, what could those two boys possibly have to hide from us?" Rarity inquired.

Toby and Spike glanced at each other and gulped. Then from out of nowhere, Pinkie Pie popped into the room via the open window.

"Hey girls!" she chirped.

"Oh, come on!" Toby whispered, annoyed.

"So… whatcha all doing?" Pinkie Pie asked, both curiously and excitedly.

"We're looking for Toby and Spike, have you seen them?" Twilight asked her.

"Oh that's easy! They're under there!" Pinkie Pie replied, gesturing to under the bed, which caused Toby and Spike's eyes to widen to the size of dinner plates.

"Under there?" Twilight echoed, both surprised and confused. She began to lower her head to check. "What are you…?"

"Oh no! They're gonna find us!" Spike squealed, he quickly took the Redo watch. "We got to get out of here!"

"No Spike!" Toby cried. But it was too late, Spike had already pushed the button and suddenly instead of time going backwards there was a blinding flash of white light.

---

At first all Toby and Spike could see is whiteness and then before they knew it they were both floating around a strange, blue area that felt like space due to the fact that they were both floating around with no signs of stopping. Images of every single moment in their past were also flashing all around them.

"Well this is a revolting development…" Spike remarked, bewildered. He gazed at the sea like environment they were in. "Where are we?"

"I'm not sure but I think we've nearly broken time!" Toby realized.

"Oh man… what have I done!?" Spike exclaimed in a panicky tone.

"Spike! Calm down!" Toby urged.

"I can't! I pretty much doomed everypony! All because I wanted to know how Rarity really felt about me… you were right… I was selfish…" Spike admitted, glumly. "Toby… I'm sorry I got us into this mess."

"It's ok bud, that watch has a lot of power and with great power comes… I can't believe I'm actually saying this… great responsibility." Toby told him. "Plus we should have looked up what this thing was before we used it…"

"Ok so for future reference we should do some research before we even think about using a magic item or spell we've never heard of." Spike declared.

"Agreed… that is if we ever get out of here and fix time…" Toby said, as he quickly remembered where they were. Then an image of them finding the Re-Do watch floated by and Toby then got an idea.

"Hey! I think I got it!" he cried. "Follow that picture!"

Both Toby and Spike dog paddled towards the picture that continued to float away from them. They paddled and paddled and swam towards it as fast as their legs and arms could go until finally Toby managed to touch the picture causing to glow brightly, then a white light consumed them once again.

---

Before either of them knew it they were back at the sea squawker lake where they first found the watch, it look a few seconds before either of them realized where and when they were.

"Whoa!" They both exclaimed.

"Uh… what just happened?' Spike asked, bewildered.

"I'm not sure… but I think we just reset time… and now we're the only ones that remember what has happened during the past few hours." Toby stated.

"Whoa! Really? How did that happen?" Spiked asked. "How did you know that would happen?"

"No big trick, I just figured if I touched that certain moment time would reset itself." Toby shrugged. "But then again anything involving time travel is very confusing…"

"Yeah, especially since only you and I remember what has happened and nopony else not to mention we got like an extra amount of memories in our brains!" Spike said. "Shouldn't that make us… I don't know… crazy or something?"

Toby let out a chuckle. "Crazy? We already hang out with six girls and do thing like fight bad guys and be assistants for free!"

"Ok. CraziER." Spike corrected.

"You really want a two hour lecture on the space-time continuum?" Toby inquired, folding his arms.

Spike shrugged. "Sure? Why not? We got all the time in the world…" Spike mused.

"Amen to that Spike my boy, amen to that." Toby agreed. Just then Pinkie Pie popped up beside them.

"Hey, you guys!" she chirped, which made them both jump and scream, startled.

"Pinkie! What are you doing here?" Toby asked.

"Just thought I'd hop on over and say 'Hey, you guys!' and it was fun!" Pinkie smiled as she bounced up and down. "Boy that sure was close! The whole time almost breaking thing I mean."

Toby and Spike's jaws both dropped as they stare at her dumbfounded.

"How… how did you know that?" Toby stuttered in shock.

Pinkie Pie shrugged. "Just a hunch!" she replied with a smile. "By the way, I'd get to town if I were you, those little accidents and Twilight's training aren't going to solve or do themselves!"

Toby and Spike continued to stare at her as she skipped away in complete bliss. Then it hit them.

"Aw man, we should get back to town fast or else those accidents are gonna happen this time!" Toby realized.

"Yeah!" Spike nodded, as they begin to proceed to Ponyville. But then Toby stopped.

"But first…" he started before zooming off and coming back with the Re-Do watch. "We have to get rid of the thing that brought chaos into our lives and almost got us killed."

Spike grabbed it quickly. "Sweet! Are we gonna throw it?" he asked eagerly as he got ready to toss the Re-Do watch away, but Toby stopped her.

"No…" he started to say before zooming off, then he came back holding a sling shot. "We're gonna launch it!"

"Alright!" Spike cheered, as Toby positioned the Re-Do watch on the sling shot, pulled back on the rubber band and then released it sending the Re-Do watch flying into the distance. Both boys cheer and chest bump before they heard somepony yell 'Ow! My head!'

"Sorry!" Toby called out before he and Spike begin to whistle and walk away innocently towards Ponyville to stop a few accidents from every happening… again.
