@Whatshis: There are like four different phrases that go in sequence. It starts with something like "Hi, my name is Pinkie Pie" and then talks about parties and hopes you have a happy birthday. I haven't had time to go through them all yet.

I like Swiss cheese.

ORANGE TANG IS PEOPLE!

How could ponies have Swiss Cheese if they don't have a Switzerland?

@Pip: You mean ompa lompas?

Well, what would the Gainax ending be like?

I think that the ponies appear to sacrifice themselves to the final boss, but then a montage of events from throughout the show play in the last moments before the screen fades to black. We then see Human!Twilight in a hospital bed with her Human!family and the Human!Mane six. She's apparently been in a coma for a long time, and the viewer is led to believe that the entire show was a hallucination of what was going on before Twilight fell into the coma. Twilight embraces with those around her. Zoom out to see the final boss looking into a crystal ball, smiling devilishly. The real Mane Six appear behind him/her/it and tell him/her/it that he/she/it hasn't won yet. Cut to Mane Six powering up the Elements of Harmony, like in the first episode. Fade to black after magic flash.

Also, only four pages of non-explicit PinkieDash on Derpibooru! What a rip!

@Gex That would be... awful.

@Perp Awful how?

Pony Transformers are best Transformers.

@Gex Well, I don't care for a Gainax Ending at all to begin with, and bringing humans into things is just bad news, IMO.

It was supposed to be disappointing. As if anything like that would ever happen on a show originally intended for little girls!

In semipony related news, I've recently met two people who actually say 'cool Beans'. I always thought it was something only Scootaloo said.

Final boss: Adulthood.

In the last episode ever, one of Celestia's foreign ambassadors needs a new scholar, so Celestia offers the position to her most faithful student. Twilight recognizes that this is a great career opportunity and a way to put what she's learned about friendship to use, but on the other hoof, she's reluctant to leave Ponyville and her friends. Twilight asks for more time to think the offer over.

As it turns out, most of her friends simultaneously get similar job offers that will take them away. Rainbow Dash finally gets accepted into the Wonderbolts. Rarity gets a position with a glamorous studio in Canterlot. The Apple family acquires new land, and establishing a new orchard there is Applejack's responsibility. Fluttershy gets a position at a faraway zoo or nature preserve or something. Pinkie Pie strikes me as the one least likely to leave Ponyville (she already seems set up to take over Sugarcube Corner when the Cakes retire) but the plot works just as well if she's the only one to stay.

Twilight realizes that she and her friends can't stay together in Ponyville without depriving each other of once-in-a-lifetime dream opportunities. She writes back to Celestia to accept the position.

The mane six say their goodbyes, promising to write and visit each other as often as possible. Twilight is the first to leave, so the others see her off at the train station.

As the train pulls away, there's a voiceover of Twilight writing her final friendship report, not as a letter to Celestia, but as an entry in her journal. She writes that friendship is made of both meetings and departures. That, even though circumstances have scattered her friends to the four corners of Equestria, she'll always have the memories of their times together to treasure.

Across the world, thousands of pre-teen girls and adult men will bawl their eyes out while the overly-cheerful end credits music plays.

People do say that, it just borders on Totally Radical most of the time.

That's a pretty solid idea, although I feel like it's a bit...obvious. Not to mention that after stuff like the season 2 finale it would almost feel anti-climactic. There needs to be a huge threat to Equestria in there somewhere. There also needs to be a note in there about how even though she's leaving her friends behind, she can still make new friends.

Is that Applejack's cousin?

@Story: Oh no, no, no. Colin has been saying "cool beans" for a long time. Years before our worlds connected.

Maybe the movie could be like Recess where all the freinds go away, and they have to reassemble to foil an evil plot.

Cool Beans?

@Meta So many feels. It seems perfect. Hopefully the show will get a proper ending such as this, instead of ending with a generic episode like far too many cartoons.

Edit: Actually, after some consideration, I think that the offers should be placed before a huge threat comes to Equestria, greater than anything seen before. Thus, the ponies would have to deal with both mental and physical trials.

Accomplishments for the day: wrote -2 pages...

Wait, the Recess plot involved messing with the moon ... the villian was really Nightmare Moon!

More than I've written.

Good point. Maybe after the last friendship report, a brief scene of Twilight arriving in her new home and immediately hitting it off with one of her neighbors.

Insert generic writing advice about how deleting is the most important step.

What, you wrote -3 or something?

Insert generic thankful response.
