I'm convinced that those are episodes with songs. It can't be episodes that McCarthy has written because that's way too many episodes for one writer. I doubt it has anything to do with the box either. I think the most we're going to get as far as box clues are episodes where each pony finds a key, and just looking at the amount of episodes she mentioned and how they're not spread out very well, I don't think that's what this is referring to. We know for a fact that episode 9 is the one containing the "Apples to the Core" song. And I'm willing to bet that episode 7 has songs in it as well, as the title "Bats!" is possible a reference to the Cats musical. Then there's the fact that episodes 25 and 26 are obviously the season finale, and it's almost a given that they'll have songs considering every season finale thus far has had more than one song. I'm betting my bits that those are episodes that have at least one song or more.

For me, Applejack is a source of inspiration. Of all the characters in the show, I wish I was more like Applejack. I just admire her in almost every way I can think of. She has tremendous integrity and strength of character. Everything from her genuine personality, her work ethic and dedication, her reliability and trustworthiness, and her selflessness and modesty. She's truly a role model in every sense of the word without even trying to be. She takes life as it comes and treats others how she'd like to be treated while always showing a greater interest in them than her own self. Applejack is an example to me. She's a friendly reminder of the kind of person that I strive to be like each and every day. Not only that, but she speaks to me on a personal level in an even more heartfelt way. While I didn't grow up as an orphan like AJ is implied to be, I did lose my father at a fairly young age which led to a lot of hardships for my family. Applejack is a keen example of someone who does her best to hold her friends and family together through thick and thin, and I had to try my hand at that for a time too.

Just what exactly would Rarity be the princess of? If she is going to be a princess, she needs to have more than just the title of one, and personally I am sick of princess characters beyond belief. It's just a label that gets slapped on female characters to make them sound cute and appealing to little girls. Besides, we already have Twilight who at least had to work for her position, alongside Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, and I don't think anybody wants another alicorn princess. If Rarity became a princess, so would all the others, and I think I'd faint if I saw Applejack with large wings and a horn. Rarity is already the queen of fashion, the belle of the ball, the pony who turns the most heads... as much as she might like it initially, being a princess is overrated.
