“...and that was Daring Do and the Chains of Cerberus. What do you think of it, Rainbow Dash?”

“It was so awesome!!!”

“And that´s all the time we had this week! Join us next time for more Books of Equestria! I´m Twilight Sparkle...”

“And I´m Rainbow Dash!”

“Goodbye.”

Vinyl Scratch came inside the recording booth to congratulate the two girls. Their literature critic show was one of the most popular in Ponyville F.M. It has been just two years since radio signals were invented in Equestria and the small business the musical unicorn had started with an earth pony friend had evolved into the multinational PonyWithTheGlasses.

“Yo girls, that was your best show eva!” the red eyed unicorn was a bit eccentric but  all her employees loved her very much since she was a very kind if a bit loud boss.

“Thanks Vynil but I´m a bit concerned what we will talk next week. We have already covered all the Daring Do series.” Twilight said.

“Aw what a drag. The Do in the Do is the most popular of the books. Ponies love to hear you two criticize her daring escapes!”

“Oh man, I hope they do another one soon!” Rainbow asked.

“I think it was a good ending, Rainbow. It´s better to not drag a story too long and risk ruining the franchise. ”

Just as she finished saying that a flash of light hit the recording studio and a pony wearing a lab coat appeared.

“Great Faust!”

“Agh, who are you?”

“I´m you, from the future!”

“Oh no, not this again!”

“Don´t worry Twilight, this time I built a time machine that uses Zap Apple Jam as fuel . It is perfectly safe!” Future Twilight explained.

“So, what do you want?”

“I came to take you two into the future!”

“Wo wo wo, nopony is taken mah girls outside mah crib!” Vinyl protested.

“You don't understand. I came to tell you that a new Daring Do book was just released. In the future! You must come with me to review it!”

“Oh okay. Be back at six.”

So with her boss approval, or better say “orders”; Rainbow and Twilight used Future Twilight machine to travel into the future world.

“....everything looks exactly the same.” Rainbow complained.

“Of course! Its been just eighteen months after all!” Future Twilight said.

“So...nothing has changed.”

“No, not much...except for the sea-ponies taking over Equestria.”

“Oh....what?”

“Oh yes. They took down Celestia and now rule all the world.Surprising that nopony saw that coming.”

They took a peek through the window to see flying squads of sea-ponies terrorizing the population.

“...well, we´ll deal with that later. Now, let´s get to the book!”

*******

One book review later.

******

“...and that was Daring Do and the Kingdom of the Crystal Pony. What do you think of it, Rainbow?”

“Hated it.”

“Yeah, me too. Eighteen months just for this? I wish they would have ended it on the twelfth book.”

“Twilight! Rainbow! The sea-ponies have caught us!”

Two armed guards burst into the recording booth. “Halt! Were you reading Daring Do books? You know that is against the law! Seize them!”

“Yikes!”

“Vamonos!”

******

One daring escape into the past later.

*****

“Yo, how was the show?” Vinyly asked.

“A monumental waste of time.” Rainbow said.

“I have a question for you Future me. If you have the ability to build a time-machine that runs merely on Zap Apple Jam, why used it to drag us into the future to review a terrible book instead of, I don't know, stop the sea-ponies from conquering the world?”

“Uh...that is because, there are certain events in time I cannot interfere. There are a ton of variables and fancy mathematics to consider...”

“But still there are several questions. Just like, how does one use apple jam as a fuel source?”

“Well, you see when the molecules of the apples are separated and something something unicorn magic...”

Vinyl and Rainbow were lookin back at forth at both Twilights arguing with themselves.

“And you are telling me that with all of time and space in your hooves, you still didn't take dance lessons?”

“For Faust´s sake girl! I was busy with other things!”

“Busy doing what? You do nothing but read books and record a radio sho-”

“I was frozen today!”

…

That was the definition of awkward silence.

“Yo, let´s start the next show best! Pinkie Pie, jump into record!”

Wearing a purdy hat, Pinkamena jumped in.

“Hi, I´m Pinkara! Welcome to Poking the fourth Wall and today we're reviewing Mare-Do-Well New Equestria...it ´s a baked bad. Roll music!”

Pinkara! Has a party cannon? Where does she keeps that?

Pinkara! She talks to the bronies, poking at the screen!

“Of course, don't you know anything about friendship?”

This is a baked bad!

Pinkara!
