How does this make any sense? (Rainbow Rocks)

[wolfheartmoon 107]

Two and a half years will have had to pass between the first movie and the second...? Are they freshman in the first movie?

Luna says the portal only opens every thirty moons, that's two and a half years.

Two and a half years will have had to pass in EQUESTRIA from the first to the second, how are they going to time skip that much?

 In Equestria moon rises everynight (Luna raises the moon) So thirty is like a month. I believe it's that way.

 

[wolfheartmoon 107]

The moon rises every night here too. Do they not have moon phases?

It might be the Twilight from their world on this movie, instead of the Pony one

[ponytheorist 181]

Ugh, fucking equestrian moons

you can see in some of the teasers that is the twilight from equestria coming back.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

a lot happened in season 4...... I'm gunna give a rough estimate of about 1.5-2 years worth considering how sweetie belles voice deepens halfway through the season.

 

And I genrally find that a good time frame, I mean would you expect ALL of that to happen in just 1 year?

[Bright Bastion 241]

I mean I suppose that's true but also, Equestria is a magical land filled with rainbows and ponies. I'm sure that they have more than enough wiggle room to make any number of reasons as to why she can go back early. I hear they were screwing around with a mirror in the comics so maybe they'll make a reference to that.

Well considering that I'm older than Peter Parker even though he was older than me when I first started reading Spider-Man it makes tons of sense. MLP is not 24 so it doesn't move real time. Most fiction items have this function of story telling, and there is an official name for it too.

 

I could flat out answer your question but it would be a spoiler. I'll give you a hint ....Magic + Science / Rules = Twilight

Sunset gets a message to Twilight through a book that Sunset has that can send messages to Celestia. In one of the previews you can see Twilight in the basement of her new castle building some sort of contraption to force the portal open early.
