1) Wouldn't it be interesting if Scootaloo never learned to fly? What if she realizes that she just might like being on the ground more than in the air? Still, it's much too early to tell. 3) Never, she'll never run out of cuteness, especially with that adorable accent of hers. 4) It seems like that would happen after the series ends (however far into the future that may be), in a kind of "good ending, everyone can live out their dreams" sort of way. Those kind of endings can make me tear up, especially if it follows an emotional climax or battle.

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's probably used to refer to a wider range of characters than just ponies. If I'm wrong, and it is implying that humans are canon, then... then...

What if it wasn't an alternate reality that I awakened to, but the TRUE world, one millennium in the future? Perhaps I would encounter a random misfit pegasus pony theif kind enough to take me in for a while, only to lose my way and find myself at the opposite end of Equestria. There I would meet an ignorant earth pony who had a knack for throwing balls, dissatisfied with his life, but ready to throw it away and begin a new one of adventure, and a smart, sharp-tongued yet honest magic-wielding unicorn pony. We would find our way back to Ponyville, and once there, would meet Twilight Sparkle. Twilight and I would stay awake late into the night, her enthralled with the stories of my strange, futuristic world, and me desperate to learn what place I had stumbled into. While that night would be truly enchanting, something would disturb me. She would eventually cross upon the subject of the Elements of Harmony, fervently explaining to me what they symbolize, who created them, what purpose they serve, and how she and her friends were bound to them, gifted with a unique power, yet bound by it until death. This wouldn't sit right with me. How could they subject themselves to the will of another being? That, once they passed on, another group of ponies would replace them, continuing the cycle for eternity? But of course, I wouldn't be able to convince her that I might have a point, and that there might be more to the Elements of Harmony than she knew about. Our band of three would continue our journey to pony lands we had never seen before. We would make it to the city, just in time for the annual GallopBall tournament. Between my odd looks (being a human) and the rowdiness of the spectators, we would get into a fight. Outnumbered, we would be in the midst of accepting defeat, until a badass, super strong earth pony would come to our rescue and drive off the ruffians. We'd learn that he was disenchanted with the ways of Celestia and Luna as well as the idea of subjecting ponies to fulfill their commands. The badass pony wanted to figure out a way to end the cycle of the Elements of Harmony. Maybe we would find our answer at the heart of the problem, Canterlot Caslte. Their library was said to hold the most information in all of Equestria; we might find something. Making our way to Canterlot Castle, we would cross by a beautiful river, but isn't that a cry for help I hear? Lo' and behold, it would be the misfit pony, struggling to make her way out of the river! We would help her, and, thankful for saving her life, she would assist us as much as she could for the time being. Still, she would seem to have something else on her mind... Aaaaaand, this story is getting too long. I don't feel like typing much more, so I'll make a summary... We would reach the Canterlot Caslte library and learn of Celestia and Luna, of the Elements of Harmony, and find the truth to the cycle of the Elements of Harmony. Their purpose revolved around the reawakening of Discord. Why must there be disaster, and why must ponies subject their livelihood to erase the problems that Celestia created? It would have to stop! We would have to end the cycle! Blah blah blah, and then we would defeat the mane six, who must defend the Elements of Harmony without question. We would then defeat Luna. Weakened by the destruction of the Elements, as well as the imbalance of nature due to Luna's death, Celestia would be able to be defeated. With both the Elements and the Mega Sisters out of the way, we would only have a small amount of time to prepare before Discord's seal broke. At last, Discord, the true final boss, would break free, but we would be ready to stop him and completely end the cycle of his reawakening. Everypony would be free at last. BUT WAIT!!! What about the "reality" of the world I had lived in, prior to being thrown into the land of ponies? My 1000-year-ago reality would really be a lifelike dream, preserved by both Celestia and Luna to serve as a constant reminder of what the ponies must never become: a society that rewards cruelty, lies and violence. With Celestia and Luna dead, there would be no more dream, and without the dream, no more me. I would say goodbye one last time to the friends I gained during my travels: the ignorant, but now open minded pony, the sharp-tongued, honest, but mother-like pony, the super strong, friekin' badass pony who now has friends to protect, and the misfit pony, who now has friends to cherish. I would say goodbye, and finally disappear into emptiness, into a forever-nothing dream. Now to get some sleep. (literally)

What I will confess to liking: Gore fics. Despite not having read many, I find them VERY entertaining, even when they aren't written well. Imagining and anticipating the violence that might occur next keeps me hooked. I wouldn't care if someone found out I like these, though they'd probably think I'm crazy if they did. Skeletons in the closet: Shipping. However, I like them to have a greater focus on plot, and not have clopping in them. Liking My Little Pony. I know that enjoying a cartoon is nothing to be ashamed of, but I'm still in the closet about it. This wouldn't be a problem if I was open about watching it in the first place. I'm still contemplating buying a Pinkie Pie pocket pony for my computer desk, or a shirt for everyday wear.
