"It's About Time".. Season 2, Episode 20.. This particular episode has created quite the mystery. If the future Twilight that got the problem started was trying to tell the present/past Twilight not to worry ABOUT that problem, then where did it all begin? What created the FIRST time-traveling Twilight? After all, there had to a timeline where Twilight didn't travel back in time, and without a problem, she wouldn't warn her past self about it!

...So, what was Future Twilight originally trying to warn her past self about? This is the mystery that has been discussed... By a few theorists. ...And the theories pretty much overcomplicated the whole thing. The answer's simpler than it seems-It was probably originally about her scheduling. We can clearly see at the start how she's panicking about how she didn't leave any time in the schedule to make another schedule. ...What if she originally worried about the schedule, and something similar to Lesson Zero (S2E3) happened all over again? Perhaps she learned her lesson then, and THAT'S when she first decided to travel back in time..

"Whatever you do, don't.." "..Waste your time worrying about the schedule."

And, of course, Twilight took that as a warning about a disaster, and the events of the episode happened. The message really didn't change that much through the iterations at all.
