Because we are different and they have anonymity

Yes, but like i said, hiding something that is super dangerous/powerful inside a powerful, magical tree that gave them the elements of harmony, which are super powerful, have saved equestria multiple times and that celestia used to banish her sister (which she even states she couldn't forget), isn't something you forget Seeing this, and looking it up to see if its legitimate, made me think one of my original theories was correct (not sure if I posted it here though). That they will open the box and it could either be a moment similar the the "spark" moment In season 1 episode 2 where there will be nothing in the box and it will be their pure, unadulterated, badass friendship that defeats the evil, or they could be powered by some magical friendship force. If they can use this magical force when ever they want, I feel like it would be to OP and destroy any mystery for future episodes. However, if it's a one trick pony (pun intended), I will be okay with that. Unless they massively screw it up somehow.of course it could be permenant, which I don't think they will do as it would have similar problems to them being able to access it when ever and it would change the main characters, I also really hope they don't make it permenant.

i thought of that, but, ignoring the other points, they still have hid it in the tree somehow and putting the elements back opened it. who said the box was grown, it could have be revealed. i still do think that they didnt put it there though

no offense, but that is highly unlikely. a ) they dosn't even know what it is, like she said b )Would they really forget about the probably super dangerous/power thing they hid in a super powerful tree that protects equestria? i don't know about you, but i wouldn't forget, neither would princesses, whose jobs are to controll/look after the land.

If the series is going to last 5-6 seasons, which I think it will, it would be ok for it to be a one use object at the end of each season. But if the series lasts 7+ seasons, which I hope it does, it will just start feeling pointless, because there will be no mystery. It will also take away anything unique about them. This is because most people, I know I would, would be thinking "they are going to get something that will defeat it agian, then it'll disapear, and they will be sad...again". I think it would just be too repetitive like the elements started to be. Congrats to the writers though for making them looses the elements at just the right time. So, it all depends on how long the series lasts.

It could be multiple objects, because the elements can change shape, so why couldn't there be tiny objects in the box that when they take it out it gets bigger. Or it could be a magical aura that creates objects. I'm also thinking that they might not got something that is permanent. that was always an issue for me that when ever they got in trouble they would just use the elements. I know in the season 2 finale they didn't use them and they have made it difficult for them to get to on multiple occasions but how many more ways can they make it a story worth watching with the elements, it will just start repeating its self eventually. That is why I think the writers got Reid of the elements in the first place. So it could be some form of friendship boost or any thing that isn't permenant. Also the opening of the box could be linked to the physical items that have experienced the rainbow connection and what's in the box could be what is linked to their rainbow connection

I never saw that pattern, but what are the items for? I just thought of a theory. They could not need anything physical to open the box and they will all see their items individually and will connect to open the box. Remember when AJ was saying about the elements keeping them connected? And twilight gave that speech in the premier of this season? That could be linked to the box and them all finding out they became better ponies thanks to their friends. All their rainbow connections so far have come from them realising they hurt their friends so the corrected their ways. This leads me to believe that it will be 1 item to defeat evil that they all wield. Kinda like a super element of harmony on steroids

Add pinkie to list of ponies who have experienced the rainbow connection and have a object that to has had the rainbow connection

Good one, forgot about the badge and good call on linking them to their elements

I think that they will link all the rainbow connection cliffhangers (like rainbow dash and rarity with rainbow in their eyes and the rainbow thread and what ever comes in the future. It is pretty obvious by now that every character is going to experience the rainbow eyes) to not what is inside the box, but how to open it. What is a big thing with a lot of story tellers? It's about the journey not the destination. If it all linked into what's in the box they will probably just open the box with actual keys, making the journey very uninteresting and I find this very unlikely, unless the rainbow connection somehow makes the keys, because it would be a boring story arc. think about it they will probably have to find 1 or 2 keys on the last episode or they would just open the box before the end episode(s), completely ruining the mystery and if they have to find the last key, it would just be a overly simple and maybe boring episode of them going on a journey to find something for the millionth time which would most likely end up with one of the mane 6 or more leaving the group (purposefully or non-purposefully) just like almost every adventure they have gone on to find something. The rainbow connection could be linked to the episode where they realised they were friends before they met due to rainbow dash'a first sonic rainboom (the name of the episode eludes me at the moment) . Pretty unlikely though. I also think the disaster will probably happen at the equestria games as it is a major event and the 2 story arcs are happening at the same time. However the equestria games story arc appears to have more focus at the moment, so it could just be a mid season story arc that ends half way into the season. However the Equestria games story arc could finish at the same time as the box story arc and they are focusing in the Equestria games story arc to reinforce my point about it not being about the destination, but it being about the journey. As for what's inside the box I honestly don't have a clue. It could be the long lost heirloom for the equestria games, it could be the sword of holy titans, it could be more elements, it could e seeds to plant more trees of harmony, it could be an evil spirit, it could be absolutely any thing, or absolutely nothing. This is all speculation though. Figuring this stuff out always interest me so I will be doing more digging tomorrow after school NOTE: I don't think they will link flutterbat into the last episode because it seems like a completely different story arc IMO. Unless the cure her and that's how fluttershy experiences her "rainbow connection" Also, what I want to happen is inside the box is a magical field that causes fluttershy to enter have her third and final transformation (her final form if you will). then flutterhulk and flutterbat to merge and kick some evil ass thousand year old dragon and have the children of the night help her. That's just what I want though Also, please forgive any gramma and spelling mistakes as I am writing this at 1am and on my ipad and I was trying to get all my ideas onto the page before I forgot them, I still forgot a few points that, If I remember, I will update it.
