So does that mean that earth ponies aren't pregnant for as long as the other two types?

Yeah, it's like I pointed out when the episode came out, magic when you're a baby seems to depend more on your base desires, like how Pumpkin was able to use magic to get the toys over to her because she wanted them. And Rarity did say that they had fits of magic that come and go. It's probably that she'll have to learn finer control over her abilities to actually make them do a specific thing, rather than something general.

I still want to see Sweetie Bell using magic of some kind...

As I said, I'm worried that such an ep would make RD out to be a massive prick.

... when the hell did I turn into Mio? I loveit when Dash is a jerk. Bring it on!

Even if Rainbow is a jerk I'm sure she'll be a great teacher.

@Crowfall: Maybe?

EDIT: I do admit that I think that the Cake twins legitimately have above average ability for their age, but there's probably other factors at work.

I guess that could explain why we never saw her pregnant. The whole thing lasted a week.

It wouldn't necessarily make RD a jerk; it would actually give her a pretty good opportunity to finally show her better side. Like she's totally willing to help Scootaloo out, and Scoots feels bad when it doesn't work or something. As long as they made Rainbow Dash more of an enthusiastic teacher rather than a drill sergeant it could work. In "Call of the Cutie" she was totally willing to help Apple Bloom out.

Yeah, if anything I see Rainbow Dash being a bit too gung-ho when it comes to teaching. I think she'd be enthusiastic but accidentally push too hard.

#98935 Red Savant Fri, 17th Feb '12 1:33:00 PM from Eastern US

Yeah. My best guess would be that Dash would be too enthusiastic about helping her (once she got into the swing of things) and overdo it.

Also, sorry, Crowfall!

Oh, the sight of Scoots flying for the first time would make me SO happy

I see a combo of, over enthusiastic teaching, pushing her to hard, and being to critical of any failures.

Scootaloo learning to fly.

Hypothetical "Scootaloo learns to fly" episode.

Hypothetical as in no new info? Ah well, I still find it weird Pound can fly and Scoots can't.

#98943 Crowfall Fri, 17th Feb '12 1:36:40 PM

Aww, it sounds like this is setting up a scene where Scootaloo tells off RD and stops idolizing her. Even if it's only temporary that would make me really sad.

#98944 gingerninja 666 Fri, 17th Feb '12 1:37:24 PM from Aboard The Damocles

Didn't that happen in MMDW?

#98945 Crowfall Fri, 17th Feb '12 1:38:28 PM

She never got upset with RD in that one, she just got distracted by another pony. And even that depressed me a bit. Scoots! How could you?

#98946 Red Savant Fri, 17th Feb '12 1:39:21 PM from Eastern US

No one likes MMDW, so we don't have to rationalize bits from it. =D

#98947 Sereg Fri, 17th Feb '12 1:39:41 PM from South Africa

I've just realised an interesting implication of my earth pony parents hypothesis. If I'm right, then if they were raised by their parents, the Apple siblings would be even stronger than they are in canon! O_O

EDIT:

Hey! I liked MMDW even if I acknowledge that it had problems!

Hypothetical episode idea: Scootaloo asks Rainbow to teach her to fly; Rainbow blows her off and tells her to ask Fluttershy instead. I dunno how that would work out.

@Mousa: Happy belated birthday, all five of you.

Spoilered for personal crap: Just got news about my Manuscript back: the agent said my writing was very good, but they aren't interested in representing me. Feels bad...

EDIT: L Mage, your avatar is awesome, and I don't even like Zecora.

EDIT 2: "No one likes MMDW, so we don't have to rationalize bits from it."

I liked most of it.

@Blue You don't like Zecora?

What kind of dislike are we talking here?
