And so, Stardust went on to read these books, about how the magic of friendship has triumphed over everyone who tried to invade Equestria, even after the Elements were given up to the Tree of Harmony. Then, however, a pattern started to become noticeable.

All but one of these invaders had invaded before-The time with Twilight was their SECOND defeat. And, for every invader that made its return, except for Discord (whom bends the rules of logic anyway, and was turned to stone instead of banished), the time gap was exactly one thousand years. This lead Stardust to write a letter to Celestia, to try to warn her of a third Nightmare Moon.

Celestia's response:

"Stardust, you have no need to worry. While it is true that Nightmare Moon was defeated for the second time 1000 years ago, she was reformed-She only first became evil due to jealousy-Our peaceful reign together lasted much more than 1000 years. Besides, these six ponies each represented the Elements together-I only represented three of them. As a result, I was unable to use their full power the first time, which is why Luna returned after 1000 years. So, there is no need to worry about a Nightmare Moon attack." And the Summer Sun Festival began, and Nightmare Moon did NOT appear; It was still just Luna. Stardust's theory was WRONG; Celestia was correct.

Four years later, in the Crystal Empire, were still the diamond statues of Spike, who famously saved the Crystal Heart from Sombra. (Winter Wrap Up+Fall Weather Friends in that order means exactly 3/4 of a year had to have passed between those episodes in Season 1-So using that, about 2 years likely passed between the S1 premiere and the S2 finale. We know FWF is the END of FALL and not the BEGINNING of it because of a S5 episode "Tanks for the Memories", where RD wants to stop winter-And the running of the leaves was one of the events happening.) Celestia called Stardust to head over there, and to make some friends of her own, for even more experience in her friendship studies. She became the new student of Princess Celestia. This sure was a good time... Sure, it was exactly 1000 years after Queen Crysalis left and seeked revenge on Starlight Glimmer, but the theory WAS proven wrong with Nightmare Moon, right?
