[[folder: Revealed episodes (Spoilers inside)]]

!"[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13BabyCakes Baby Cakes]]"

[[WMG: The Cakes don't live in Sugarcube Corner; they normally keep their toddlers at home with a nanny while they run the shop.]]
Obviously, we've not seen mention of the Cakes having children, beyond treating Pinkie as one of their own. Sugarcube Corner only has the garret but appears to lack any other residence, implying the Cakes live elsehwere leaving the garret for Pinkie. Thus, by having the tykes stay with a nanny while they run the shop seems like a perfectly reasonable system. And perhaps why the Cakes aren't always frequent in Sugarcube Corner as they are at home tending to their twins.
* Following this, the plot will initiated when the Cake's nanny has to tend to her own business, and they either can't find a babysitter or Pinkie overhears and ''offers'' (read: foists) her services to them.

[[WMG: The leaked song "Smile Smile Smile" will be used by Pinkie Pie as a way to get the toddlers to stop crying.]]
And it'll cause them to cry even more because the chorus at the end is too loud.

[[WMG: The twins will say their first words at some point in the episode.]]
Most likely at the end, and the word being something Pinkie said, or even her name.

!"[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E14TheLastRoundup The Last Roundup]]"

[[WMG: It'll be an Applejack episode.]]
[[CaptainObvious Duhhhh...]]

[[WMG: It's a direct sequel to "Family Appreciation Day", and will involve Granny Smith passing away.]]
...while doing something unbelievably badass. Will then focus on the Apple clan coming to terms with the loss.

[[WMG: It's the Big Macintosh spotlight episode we've all been waiting for.]]
Yee Haw!!!

[[WMG: It'll be a WhamEpisode or something to that effect.]]
The title sounds ominous. Not to mention that "Last Roundup" tends to be used for when a cowboy is soon to die.

[[WMG: Something will happen to Applejack.]]
The premise states that she disappears. Well, what if something serious happens to her? Well, I'm not stating [[KilledOffForReal the obvious paranoid thoughts]], but it may have an impact on her.
* Perhaps she gets PutOnABus.
** Maybe she just has to leave town for the day, thus touching off the story?

[[WMG: It will have a lot of Tearjerker entries]]
Especially if the above [=WMGs=] are correct
* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint What is so Tear Jerk-y about a Big Mac Episode]]?

[[WMG: It will reveal the fate of Applejack's parents.]]
Her disappearance will possibly involve a yearly pilgrimage to their memorial, or something to that effect.

[[WMG: [[DarkerAndEdgier It will be the darkest episode to date.]] ]]
Which would say a lot if it happened since previous episodes have a villain almost sending the world into eternal night, bugs almost destroying the town, a main character almost falling to her death, a creature that almost turn a pony to stone, a pony getting kidnapped, the most happiest pony getting a psychological break down, a villain almost turning the world into eternal chaos, the most sane pony snapping, a filly getting an illness that explains a [[StoryOfTheBlanks rather dark fan game's backstory (sort of)]], a secondary character going on a greed induced rampage, and one introducing windigos that almost froze everypony to feed on their hate.

[[WMG: There will be a CallBack to how Discord broke her in the maze.]]
At least one of the problems she has with her friends will be due either to her being BrutallyHonest or trying to tell a white lie and [[BadLiar botching it badly]]. Or compounding the problem by doing ''both''.

[[WMG: [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E23TheCutieMarkChronicles Aunt and Uncle Orange]] will be referenced.]]
They may even appear, with Applejack going to visit them for some reason.
* And perhaps Uncle Orange's first name will turn out to be [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c9TB8hhXf54/TtBFZewKP9I/AAAAAAAAVfY/1tTI_bI3J0Y/s1600/20.jpg Mosely]].

[[WMG: Apple Bloom will be among those who get angry/annoyed with Applejack.]]
And ''that'' will hit Applejack particularly hard, given how important her family is to her.

[[WMG: This is Applejack's "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]".]]
Applejack's mark shows her devotion to her family and their apple-farming roots. In "The Last Roundup", however, she'll wind up second-guessing herself and wondering whether or not becoming a farmer and staying in Ponyville was the ''right'' decision for her after all.

[[WMG: As a corollary to an above WMG, this will be the start of major CerebusSyndrome]]
For the reasons mentioned above, as well as the rather ominous title.

[[WMG: Applejack will have only left for a small, mundane reason.]]
After all her friends go crazy looking for her, it will turn out that there was nothing wrong and she was going to return to Ponyville within a day or two anyway.

[[WMG:"The Last Roundup" will set up "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000".]]

[[WMG: Spike will lead the search party]]
Spike has an implied PlatonicLifePartners relationship with AJ. So, it would be fitting for him to not only noticed AJ's disappearce, but help out with finding her as well.

[[WMG: The moral will be to not jump to conclusions]]
Like the above WMG mentioned, Applejack may have left for some mundane reason and the characters took it way out of proportion. Also a nice meta message too, considering all these [=WMGs=] predicting doom and gloom just because the title has the word "last" in it.

[[WMG: The train will be involved at some point]]
It's part of The Friendship Express episode pack, and other than the first two episodes, all the episodes involved the train somehow.

!"[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E15TheSuperSpeedyCiderSqueezy6000 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]"

[[WMG: If "The Last Roundup" doesn't mention anything about AJ's parents, this episode surely will.]]
We are, based on the premise, talking about the fate of the farm that appears to have been in the family for some time.

[[WMG: It well be a retelling of the JohnHenry story, but with ponies. ]]
Except Applejack won't die at the end.....[[KilledOffForReal hopefully.]]

[[WMG: Applejack's truck toy will make its animated appearance here]]
...and we'll have a way to actually justify the cardboard cutout of Twilight in the back. While it's not a race, speed seems to be of issue here, and thus they may need to resort to the truck to move apples or containers quickly across the farm. Since they've been able to translate the train toy to the show, this doesn't seem like much of a stretch.
* Even if the truck does appear, the cardboard cutout probably wouldn't be addressed, since it isn't the only toy with one of those (it's just the most well-known one).
** Well, all they need to do is have Twilight riding in the back (for some strange and unknown reason). Doesn't necessarily need a in-show cardboard element.
*** Oh yeah, that could work. After all, the purpose of the cardboard cutouts is to say "put another one of your pony toys here!"

[[WMG: The Flim Flam brothers are twins and perhaps palette swaps of each other]]
* Alternatively, they could be FatAndSkinny.

[[WMG: The titular "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" is a cider-making machine built by the Flim Flam brothers.]]
The contest will be a [[ManVersusMachine Pony Versus Machine]] challenge between the Flim Flam brothers' invention and the Apple family's old-fashioned cider-making ways.
* If this is the case, this makes the Aesop of the day the merits of hard work and dedication over time-saving shortcuts that may backfire.

[[WMG: The Flim Flam brothers live in that carrot-themed building in the background of Sweet Apple Acres.]]
Assuming they already live in Ponyville and haven't just arrived.

[[WMG: There will be references to WallaceAndGromit]]
And it will be a stitch.

!"[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep Read It and Weep]]"
[[WMG: While Twilight will be the one to first bring RBD a book, the episode will feature the other four also bringing RBD one of their favorite books to read, leading to her discover the joys of several different types of works.]]
The brief recap would seem to directly imply that its a RBD/Twilight heavy episode, but it's very different to see Twilight having ''any'' sort of books - mostly non-fiction (for the ponies) - that would get RBD interested. On the other hoof, once the other four learn what Twilight's tried to help out with, they'll provide more interesting fictional works they all like that has the adventure and other "cool" aspects.
* Alternatively, while the other four all do this, only one of them - likely AJ's - book will be the one that ignite's RBD's joy to read more books; the other three (Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy) would more likely bring books on their favorite subject (fashion, baking, and animals, respectively) that are "boooor-ing!" to RBD.

[[WMG: This will be the GRatedDrug episode]]
Rainbow Dash will get ''too'' addicted to reading and the group will have to hold an intervention.

[[WMG: If the above WMG is true, there will be something to handwave the UnfortunateImplications of having an AccidentalAesop be "reading is bad"]]

[[WMG: Pinkie will somehow be involved with the injury]]
[[NoodleIncident Nothing will be shown revealing why]], [[NoodleImplements but the only thing would be said about is]] [[AscendedMeme it was a really bad cooking accident involving cupcakes]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is ''not'' in the hospital for broken wings.]]
Because otherwise they'd lose the chance to show her crashing into stuff because she's woozy from being ill. Can they really afford to do that?

[[WMG: The lesson of the episode is friends will accept you for who you are.]]
Notice how the premise says "secretly". She's worried about her tough girl image being ruined, and will go to great lengths to hide it, but eventually her friends find out, perfectly okay with it.

!"[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E17HeartsAndHooves Hearts and Hooves]]"
[[WMG: This episode will be a parody of shipping.]]
I'll just throw it out there right now.

[[WMG: [[ShipSinking At least one fandom pairing will be sunk.]] ]]

[[WMG: [[RelationshipUpgrade At least one fandom paring will be offical]].]]

[[WMG: Pinkie Pie will get [[HeartSymbol heart-shaped]] WingdingEyes at some point in the episode.]]
Like in [[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=199794913371287 this]] piece of stock art.

[[WMG: Pinkie Pie's leaked "Smile" song will be in this episode.]]

[[WMG: It will have [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a plot similar to]] a ComingOutStory]]

[[WMG: There will be an aesop about not ''needing'' to rush into romance.]]
At this point in the series, most of the main cast don't have any obvious LoveInterests. Rather than shoehorning in a bunch of [[ShallowLoveInterest new guys]], the episode will address this by showing they're content ''without'' boyfriends, and don't ''need'' to rush out and find one in order to be happy. To drive this point home, one of the girls ''will'' try and quickly strike up a new relationship, but struggle with it until she realizes she was happier before. (For extra Aesop points, this could be one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders -- most likely Apple Bloom or Sweetie Belle -- after getting teased for being a 'lonely loser' by Diamond Tiara.)

[[WMG: Big Macintosh will play a role in "Hearts and Hooves".]]
Potentially getting a chance at a RelationshipUpgrade with somebody. Not necessarily one of the main cast, though.

[[WMG: Spike and Rarity's relationship will be touched upon.]]
Given [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess recent events]], Spike will try to step up his game in this episode, much to Rarity's embarrassment. Alternately, Rarity will recieve interest from somebody else -- a regular customer, or someone visting from Canterlot or elsewhere -- that sets off Spike's jealousy and insecurity about their relationship.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: New Characters]]
[[WMG: The villains will be the same as the mane six, but without the element's of harmony.]]
* Twilight Sparkle: Her Counterpart will remain friendless, caught up in his or her studies. (Friendship)
** Possible candidate: Trixie.
** Another possible candidate: A Katrina (G1 Villain) expy with her henchman lizard creature as a Spike expy, who is abusive towards him and represents making friends through fear and power, like [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula.]]
* Applejack: MagnificentBastard who rips off customers daily. (Honesty)
* Fluttershy: Some sort of ruthless animal trainer that treats her pets like garbage, but still withdrawn from society. (Kindness)
* Rainbow Dash: A talented flier with an extreme case of ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, to the point where no one wants him/her around. (Loyalty)
** Possible candidate: Gilda.
* Rarity: An extremely greedy hoarder who keeps everything to herself.(Generosity)
** Possible candidate: Female Diamond Dog (extra points for the StealthPun).
** Second Possible Candidate: Blueblood
* Pinkie Pie: Child Pinkie Pie turned UpToEleven, may be a NietzscheWannabe. (Laughter)
** [[TheJoker You wanna know how I got my cutie mark?]]
*** HilariousInHindsight now that the first episode of season two is out. [[spoiler: what with the villain making the Mane Cast the opposite of their true nature, sans Twilight Sparkle.]]

[[WMG: Sea Ponies will eventually be introduced.]]
* Shoo-bee-doo-shoop-shoop-bee-doo.
* And they'll be based off hippocampus rather than seahorses. Because then they can actually, y'know, do stuff.
* Perhaps an episode where the mane cast befriend a hippocampus, but find it hard to do anything with her because hippocampii can't leave the water.
** Fans have drawn cart designs so the hippocampii can wheel themselves around on land.

[[WMG: Luna will be a main character in season 2.]]
Lauren Faust has said that Luna won't be appearing in the show again until season 2. However, her involvement with the plot beyond that is a mystery. Now, let's look at it this way. Twilight Sparkle needed to learn about friendship because her studies had kept her isolated from other ponies. Luna was isolated for one thousand years and overshadowed by hatred. It wouldn't be a far stretch to imagine Luna joining Twilight in her friendship studies, especially since Twilight and her friends are presumably the only ones who can blast her back to normal if she goes evil again.
* She will be rather cynical with a bit of shyness and have no understanding of modern equestria life, who try not to get involved with twilight and her friends.

[[WMG: Parents will show up in the next CMC episode(s).]]
If they will try explore past of other characters parents must be seen at some point, unless one previous WMG about parents is true.
* Partially confirmed - in "Cutie Mark Chronicles", we see Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle's respective parents.
* Sweetie Belle & Rarity's parents make an appearance in "Sisterhooves Social."

[[WMG: We are going to see glow-in-the-dark ponies soon.]]
The reason Princess Luna flipped out and became Nightmare Moon was due to loneliness and jealousy (no ponies were staying up to enjoy and admire her work, like they were for her sister). The problem is that although she became Princess Luna again, there still aren't any ponies who are usually up all night.

[[WMG: Season two will introduce a new character to the group.]]
Possibly a male one, who would basically can't stand the {{sugar bowl}} world he lives in. Needless to say, he would be both a [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarker]] and a [[ButtMonkey Butt Monkey]], quite possibly being a [[TakeThat Take That]] to people who bias the show as bad because it's MLP. As the season goes on, he will slowly start being less critical of the world as he starts opening up more to the main cast.
* Also building on the theory below about season two starting with the main cast in Canterlot, he will be introduced as being a pony who is forced to keep an eye on them in case they cause more trouble. (Maybe being the son of a guard pony at the castle, who wants to keep an eye on them but can't.)
** Also building on one of the meta guess examples where there will be a lesson about letting go of friends; in the season two finale he'll be forced to leave the group for some reason, maybe because the higher ups are finally convinced that they won't cause anymore trouble, or due to some important business that will force him to go away for sometime. Could be a bit of a {{tear jerker}} if they show that he doesn't want to leave them anymore, maybe shedding a single tear as he's taken away.
*** Would also get bonus points if he's voiced by [[CrispinFreeman Crispin Freeman]] through some miracle.
** If the above thought is true about him being tasked with keeping an eye on the main cast, some of the aesops could be in the form of him submitting reports to his boss/father about what he learned from the gang.
* It's possible that he'll be introduced as the science and technology pony (maybe running a fix-it shop) as a counterpoint to all the magic in Ponyville and Canterlot and to be TheSmartGuy in a way that's different from Twilight. He may also be used in an attempt to give Spike a male friend to relate to and have the two of them bounce snarky dialogue off one another about the general strangeness of Ponyville and its residents as well as the obvious "Women be Different from Men, Yo" jokes.
** A male technological genius who likes being around females and [[DeadpanSnarker driveby snarking whatever strikes his fancy.]] Yeah, I'll roll with that...
--> '''Pony Stark:''' The truth is...[[Film/IronMan I am Iron Mane.]] *DUNNN DUNNN DUNDUN DUN*
* You know, a new recurring male wouldn't necessarily ''have'' to be there just to offset the feminine tones of the series; who says he can't just be regarded as an ordinary friend and equal by the mane cast? There could even be some lesson in there about how boys and girls can play together without having to regard one another differently. Given how progressive the show's been thus far, it's not impossible. Plus it wouldn't necessarily conflict with the above suggestion of a GadgeteerGenius pony, which would be an admittedly cool addition to the setting.
* Another idea is that soon after his introduction two or more of the Mane cast will start competing with each other for his affection [[NoGuyWantsToBeChased while he would very much rather stay just friends]]. Through the course of this they would find out that even though they like him, they don't have very much in the way of common interests (him being a bit more laid-back and possibly something of a geek) and eventually call off their pursuit of him ([[RuleOfFunny which he suddenly finds insulting]]). The lesson being that boys and girls can be friends without any kind of romance or ShipTease involved.
* Also he could be the first Pony we see who doesn't live at his job as a lesson that people are more than what they do for a living.
* I think if they do add another guy to the group he won't ''quite'' be a mane character. He'll show up frequently and be involved when he does, but he won't be in every episode and won't be added to the opening credits. Reasons for this can include already having a rather large cast, having to work him naturally into the story rather than shoving him there for the sake of having another male character, and also to test the waters to see how fans both young and old react to him and if he fits in well probably wait until a third season (Hopefully!) to move him into the Mane cast.
* If a male character is added to the cast, I'd rather he be just as intelligent and introverted as Twilight. In fact, make him another one of Celestia's personal projects, making them god-siblings. The intellectual SiblingRivalry would make an interesting counterpoint to the normal Mane Six antics.
* Honestly, though, isn't this Spike's role, essentially? Although I can see them adding another male character just to have someone Spike can talk to when none of the mane 6 are around.
* They probably will want to keep the species equality, so if they introduce any new characters they will introduce them three at a time.

[[WMG: There will be a Witch-King of Angmar Expy.]]
Another ancient villain will return; one whom, according to ''Predictions and Prophecies'', "nopony can defeat". Oh, the mane cast will ''try'', with the Elements of Harmony, but it simply won't work. As the villain's gloating, however, cue [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Spike]]. This could possibly come as part of an episode of arc where Spike grows up into something more resembling an adult dragon; while he and probably everyone else are iffy at first with his new form, they'll all learn to accept it after he saves them all. Twilight would probably have been accepting the whole time... and [[{{Shipping}} maybe Rarity finds the new form handsome]].
* There are like fifty creatures that fulfill that requirement aside from Spike: the farm hands on Applejack's farm, the Diamond Dogs, the two dragons, Gilda, Zecora, Discord... more if we count animal-level intelligence creatures, like Opalescence, Winona, Owlicious?, the Hydra...

[[WMG: Season 2 will "reintroduce" a team of villains/rivals.]]
Sure, Nightmare Moon escaped from her imprisonment, but who helped her? Those four stars that we saw always within proximity of the moon. If Lauren Faust is allowed to start putting "magical girl" themes back into the show, this troper could totally imagine the four stars appearing as a team of four villainous ponies who want Luna to "regain her powers" as Nightmare Moon and once again shroud Equestria in eternal darkness, so that the stars can always be seen in the sky.

To go deeper, perhaps at the start of the season we'll see Luna failing to make friends, and become envious of Twilight when seeing her surrounded by the other ponies. In come the "star ponies", who offer her unconditional friendship with a false smile, and she desperately accepts. Thus, the kiddies get to learn about the various ways that "friends" can take advantage of you and play you for a foal. These events would also provide a wealth of plot potential for the creators to work with, both as individual episodes, and as an overarching, season-long storyline that Lauren Faust (and many fans) seem to desire more.

[[WMG: Similarly, season two will introduce [[EvilCounterpart evil counterparts]] to the Elements of Harmony.]]
For example: The Elements of Chaos or Discord.
* With Trixie being the leader and [[EvilCounterpart evil counter part]] of Twilight.
** Possible names for the elements, and their GoodCounterparts:
*** Brutality/Magic (Magic needs finesse and training, brutality does not)
*** Distrust/Loyalty (Wielder is in constant fear of being backstabbed, rather than being loyal or trusting.)
*** Greed/Generosity (Self-explanatory.)
*** Insanity/Laughter (Laughter [[CaptainObvious spreads joy]], insanity spreads sadness.)
*** Deceit/Honesty (Wielder [[GambitPileUp is always double-dealing]], rather than being straight with others.)
*** Cruelty/Kindness (Self-explanatory.)
**** Of course, this also raises the question of how everyone will deal with [[KnightOfCerberus artifacts just as powerful as the Elements of Harmony, but evil]]. Not to mention how to deal with Trixie once she's been defeated...

[[WMG: WeirdAlYankovic will appear as a pony in a future episode.]]
* He has already been asked by Jayson Thiessen. Maybe he'll appear as Pinkie Pie's uncle. He's got the frizzy hair, wacky sensibility, and love for accordions that Pinkie does, so why not?
** And his name will be Allegro, or something similar.
*** I'd love to see "Weird Al" in a cartoon. But will his cutie mark be a bologna (unlikely)? Or something to do with polka?
**** Perhaps a musical episode, as suggested elsewhere? Since it's "Weird Al", the "soundtrack" would have parodies of popular songs (I'd love to see a ponified "Mooves Like Jagger"!)

[[WMG: Whatever character WeirdAlYankovic is asked to play will have some relationship to Pinkie Pie.]]
Recently, in a Twitter feed, Wierd Al was asked to Voice Act for the show. He hasn't replied, but if and when he does, the character he plays will have some relationship with Pinkie Pie. Because, let's be honest, its too good of a chance for anyone to miss.
* Wait; Weird Al is going to be a horse? [[BackAtTheBarnyard Why does that sound familiar?]]

[[WMG: The series 2 villains will include [[TransformersAnimated Blackarachnia and Waspinator]].]]
The ''Transformers Animated'' art style would go well with that of ''MLP:FIM'', and since ''TFA'' ended prematurely, there are a whole lot of unresolved plot threads. Plus, it would allow Hasbro to reuse moulds they've already made.

Blackarachnia and Waspinator would fit well as villains. Both were spurned by their comrades due to events beyond their control. Blackarachnia is hated by the other Transformers because of her organic components, and Waspinator was imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. Learning about comradeship again would fit well with the friendship them of ''My Little Pony''.
* If not as a crossover, then a quick appearance as a regular (oversized) spider and wasp with the same voice actors.
* If I may combine this with the above WMG about Weird Al voicing a character: I AM WRECK-GAR! I AM A BRONY!

[[WMG: [[RhinoRampage Rhinos]] will appear on the show.]]
And they will be a TakeThat against RatedMForManly.
* [[RuleOfFunny And inexplicably]], they'll still have [[RealMenWearPink cutie marks]].

[[WMG: Rarity will gain a new LustObject in Season 2.]]
After having her dreams of marrying a prince dashed at the Grand Galloping Gala, Rarity will move on to another eligable bachlor pony. This might also [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption end in failure]] when she finds what is wrong with this one. The cycle will continue in later seasons.
* Alternatively, Rarity finds herself in an actually decent relationship with an actually decent stallion, prompting the rest of the mane cast to deal with feeling neglected when Rarity spends so much time with him instead of them. Dealing with jealousy of attention when one's friends start dating is a real concern for teenagers, after all. To preserve [[StatusQuoIsGod status quo]], her love interest might live in Canterlot and thus not be able to show up very often.

[[WMG: Updated villains from previous MLP generations will appear.]]
Hell, Tirek's appearance alone make for an awesome bunch of episodes

[[WMG: Luna disguises herself as "Moon Dancer" and tries to live life as a normal earth pony for an episode or two.]]
* Of course, Pinkie Pie can see right through her disguise and nearly blows her cover on several occasions.
** Ever read ''[[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/story-sunny-skies-all-day-long.html Sunny Skies All Day Long]]''?

[[WMG: We meet the parents of the Mane cast.]]
* It turns out Pinkie Pie's parents are as humorless as she's mentioned, But her sisters are a different case. One is a bit of a klepto and the other one appears to suffer from OCD.
** And I wouldn't be surprised if one of these sisters was an ElegantClassicalMusician.
* Twilight's parents are extremely proud of their daughter, Her mother is a Teacher for young Unicorns and her father is an astronomer. They are also terrified of turning into plants again.
* Fluttershy comes from an extremely wealthy family, With both of her parents being bombastic and loud, scaring the poor filly to shyness.
* Rainbow Dash doesn't have a mom or a dad, but was raised by four of her uncles. She doesn't seem to question why her birth parents were never around, but she likes to brag that she has "twice as many parents as you have".
** Turns out her real parents are [[ClashOfTheTitans the original Pegasus]] and [[RainbowBrite Starlite]].
*** No, one of them has to be the [[RobotUnicornAttack RU]].
* Rarity's parents are both artists, though terrible with money. Rarity remembers a rather spartan childhood, half of the money she makes at her shop goes to care for her parents.
** We've now met Rarity and Sweetie Belle's parents. They seem tacky/embarrassing if anything…
* However we will only meed ''one'' of Spike's parents who will explain why the gave him up for "adoption" and just why some dragons do this (Perhaps his mother died and male dragons are ill-equipped to raise young.).

[[WMG: A member of the Apple family gets married.]]
Not any direct relation to Applejack, but a distant cousin or something. The gang prepares for the wedding, and the [=CMCs=] want to help out. On the day of the wedding, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom arrive on time, but Scootaloo oversleeps. This is especially bad, since she was supposed to pick up the wedding bands (bracelets because ponies don't have fingers) and she has not done that yet. In her mad dash to get to the wedding on time, she accidentally crashes into the wedding arch, sending it crashing down. Sweetie Belle manages to distract all the guests by performing for them and Apple Bloom repairs everything. everything works out, and by the end of the episode, Twilight tells the [=CMCs=] to take a look at their flanks…

[[WMG: Season 2 itself will feature a real [[ShoutOut shout-out]] to Bronies…]]
They'll be portrayed as [[{{Youkai}} Oni]] (Ogre-like creatures from Japanese mythology). The Bro-Oni are either going to be brutish but ultimately friendly creatures who befriend the ponies or villainous and are minions to a BigBad.
** Would they eventually pull a HeelFaceTurn?
[[WMG: At some point the Mane cast will encounter a gigantic subterranean monster.]]
It'll cause earthquakes just by moving and will be so massive all they can see is its eye. After 20 minutes of trying to communicate with it or fight it Celestia will show up and say "sorry we woke you up [[spoiler: mom, me and Luna will try to play more quietly now.]]"
* If we're going that route, this is my idea: [[spoiler: There will be a crisis not even Princess Celestia or the six Elements of Harmony can resolve. Maybe a giant meteor on a crash-course with Equestria or something. Anyway, a truly gigantic alicorn (bigger than even the Ursa Major here) who looks like he's made of dark matter, and possibly has stars for eyes will save Equestria. After some awkwardness, Celestia and Luna will introduce their father, Ouranos, Lord of the Cosmos.]]

[[WMG: Big Bad of this season will be named: Krastos the Glue Maker.]]
However, nopony will understand why he chose that title since the glue that exists in Equestria isn't animal based and never has been.
* His own glue might not even be made from (or be explicitly said to be made from) horses. He'll be a different sort of villain, perhaps a high-class thief or a send-up of ruthless businesses.



[[WMG: The evil force that took over Princess Luna (and helped free Discord) will return and take over Princess Celestia.]]
Her evil persona will be something along the lines of "Hellfire Sun". Princess Luna and the mane cast will join together and find a way to purge the evil from her as they did with Luna.
* Probably not. After all, kid's show.

[[WMG: Advancing from the above, the evil force that took over Luna will function as a (rather light, though) KnightOfCerebus.]]

[[WMG: Season 2 will have an episode with the original [=FiM=] prototype characters appearing]]
Posey, Surprise, Firefly, Sparkler. Twilight's moms old friends come back, and the gang notices the GenerationXerox going on. Thumbs up if one of the old gang is related to one of the mane cast (besides Twilight and Twilight).
* For this to happen, Hasbro would have to somehow regain the copyrights to those characters. If they did that, it would actually be [[AndTheFandomRejoiced kinda]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]].
** Considering how popular the series is, I wouldn't doubt it. Plus Twilight appeared as Twilight's mom, though she didn't speak and wasn't referred to by name; it's undeniably Twilight, and WordOfGod has confirmed it. They could just as easily make the others appear, though their fur tones would probably changed similar to how Twilight's mom went from pink to white.

[[WMG: G1 Ponies will reappear.]]
Twilight's mom is more-or-less Twilight from G1 (I believe its WordOfGod too), and Moondancer was mentioned in the pilot. Aside from Sea-Ponies, I expect some more G1 Ponies.

[[WMG: One of the Mane cast will get romantically involved with somepony, causing tension with the others.]]
For example, Fluttershy and Big Macintosh start working together on something, then they start spending all their time together, then both Applejack and Angel get jealous and come up with a series of antics to break them up. And in the end Big Mac and Fluttershy assure them that they're {{just friends}} (for now).

[[WMG: List of G1 character that would appear in Season 2.]]
* Tirek
** The most likely candidate for BigBad of Season 2, if not BiggerBad. Would be a level of villainy similar to the Lich from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.
* The Crabnasties
** A single one would be introduced to the show as a grumpy civil servant who's main job is to exterminate the seemingly harmless and innocent posies. Fluttershy would feel sorry for one of them and took one home.....only for it to [[SealedEvilInACan cause all kinds of trouble]], accumulating to the posy growing to kaiju sized and devouring all of Ponyvile. The Crabnasty will then [[BigDamnHero come to the rescue]] and kill off the posy with ease. Celestia might enter and explain the crabnasty's job and the lesson that seemingly disgusting and cruel jobs are sometimes necessary, and the lesson of judging a book by its cover is reinforced.
* The Grundles
** Race of goblin like creatures who have a separate society outside of Equestria in the middle of the desert far beyond Appleloosa. It would be parallel to pony society, with the ponies living in a land where its a peaceful society consisting of herbivores in a bright, colorful location where nature is practically micromanaged while the grundles themselves are more carnivorous, live underground to protect themselves from the harsh desert sun, have [[ProudWarriorRace deep warrior traditions]], and surrounded by various shades of brown and grey as nature runs its course without any outside interference. Episodes here could teach lessons about adapting to and respecting other cultures and knowing that different societies have different viewpoints on life.
* Sea Ponies
** Aquatic ponies mentioned before, but would be hippocampuses instead of actual sea horses. Also, the infamous SHOO BE DOO might or not be included. If so, it would be used as the sea ponies' main defense mechanism against predators, [[SuckinessIsPainful who find it SO bad they immediately swim away in pain]] as a way of incorporating [[TakeThat the opinion of modern audiences of that song]].
* Katrina
[[WMG: List of Original Characters that would appear in Season 2.]]
* Harry the Bear
** Would initially shock Rainbow Dash, considering she thought she made him up. Though tends to get grumpy at times, he may ultimately have a soft spot for ponies and may be good friends with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy down the line.
*** And he will enjoy both playing seashells and collecting volleyballs.
* Krastos the Glue Maker
** A giant, powerful, and bloodthirsty warrior who targets ponies to make glue out of them. More detailed bio would either be: A) a VillainOfTheWeek who becomes recurring as the season continues along, and either the [[PsychoForHire hired help of the]] BigBad and/or the leader of a group of thugs; B) an ancient evil that was initially defeated by Celestia and Luna eons ago and no has recently escaped the prison he was trapped in and had been merely a scary story until then; or C) one of Tirek's many monikers.

[[WMG: A pony will forcibly become the next Nightmare Moon.]]
Using the issues they have with subtle manipulation of their memories, how they hear things, or thoughts, as well as promises for power.

Ponies that may become the second Nightmare Moon:
* Twilight Sparkle
** Her Mother
* Pinkie Pie
* The Great and Powerful Trixie

[[WMG:The Cutie Mark Crusaders will gain another member.]]
Who it might be:
* Dinky Hooves.
** Already saw her a couple times with a cutie mark, even though they aren't consistent.
* Somepony we haven't met yet.
* A pony who thinks they "got the wrong cutie mark" (this member only sticks around for one episode).
* Someone who's not a pony at all, but thinks the can still earn a cutie mark (A griffon, or perhaps another baby dragon. Maybe Little Strongheart will come back).
* An adult pony who after all these years still hasn't acquired a cutie mark.

[[WMG: The mane cast will meet a SpearCounterpart.]]
They'll show up out of the blue with their own elements and help the girls out with the problem of the day.
* [[DistaffCounterpart Will they have a little girl dragon?]]

[[WMG: We will get a VillainEpisode.]]
Where the focus is on Trixie, Gilda, and the other {{Evil Counterparts}} on the group. The episode would end with them hating each other's guts.

[[WMG: The Mane Six will meet an old creature in the Everfree Forest with separation anxiety issues.]]
They'll befriend it, have fun with it for a bit, and then go back to Ponyville. Unfortunately, the creature will panic and imprison the ponies, so that they'll stay with it [[{{Yandere}} forever and ever.]] It will be strongly hinted that the last friends the creature made [[WhoWantsToLiveForever died of natural causes long ago.]] It'll be like that one episode of {{Chowder}}, only less PlayedForLaughs and more PlayedForDrama. [[TearJerker Bleak]], [[NightmareFuel harrowing]] [[TheWoobie drama]].
* Will Zecora have any involvement?

[[WMG: Season 2's main villain will be AffablyEvil and most of the time the actual conflict between them and the mane 6 will be GoKartingWithBowser.]]
Until the Season Finale where the villain will TakeALevelInBadass and suddenly become the KnightOfCerebus...
* That would be an interesting angle; a villain who's genuinely likable would be a nice addition to the show.

[[WMG: The girls will meet a possibly EvilCounterpartRace for each of the pony species]]
They will be descendants of the followers of Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon pre-banishment. After her exile they went into hiding, or fled to another land/world. If they are really an EvilCounterpartRace , they might attempt to somehow re-transform Luna into NMM, or work for the new villains. But if they are just [[DarkIsNotEvil more oriented to the moon and darkness, not necessarily evil]], they may assist the mane cast, maybe even with a new member joining the cast's rank, functioning as a G-rated AntiHero, who could function as a ShadowArchetype to one of the cast.
* Or maybe followers of Discord? Maybe not everypony's been brainwashed by him. For all we know, some probably followed him out of their own will.

[[WMG: More G3 ponies will appear with re-imagined personalities.]]
Most of the main characters are G3 ponies with new personalities or Expies of G1 ponies, so it makes sense they might bring back more G3 ponies with new personalities.
* Minty will be introduced as an "[[MythologyGag old friend]]" of Pinkie Pie's (surely [[FourthWallObserver Pinkie]] is aware of the best friends her previous incarnation had). She may or may not be related to Twist, and she'll be [[TotallyRadical totally cool]].
** And obsessed with socks-- can't forget that.

[[WMG: The toyline pony 'Lily Blossom' will appear in season two (or maybe 3).]]
She's one of only 4 toyline ponies with their own boxart, and is the only one of them that isn't a region exclusive bonus pony.

[[WMG: Spike will meet and befriend some other young dragons.]]
* He will do the things dragons like to do with them. Initially Twilight is happy for him, but these dragons try to make Spike spend less time with his pony friends, believing that dragons are superior. They also pressure him into doing things he doesn't want to do. At some point they try to forcibly keep them away from him, but Twilight and the rest of the mane cast tell the dragon's mothers on them. The mothers make them apologize for behavingly so terribly and Spike goes back to hanging out with his pony friends. The lesson will be that true friends aren't always the ones who look and act the most like you, but rather the ones who treat you right.
** Seeing what being a 'real' dragon is like, Spike will be put off by it and prefer his pony friends/family, but will learn something about being a dragon that comes in handy (maybe he'll want to start hoarding stuff, good for Rarity...not so much for Twlight's house!), so he won't ignore it entirely. And Celestia won't spam him with letters ever again! (necessary, I know, but the [[ButtMonkey poor]] [[TheWoobie thing]]...)
** He kind of already did that in "Owls well that Ends Well". My guess would be that there will be an episode where some of his dragonish instincts kick and and he begins hoarding gems (and other forms of treasure) rather than eating them all right away. The conflict will come when Rarity's collection is wiped out and Spike must choose between helping her and keeping his collection (naturally he'll go with the former). The end of the episode will reveal that the rest of the ponies all chipped in and helped start a new collection for him and Twilight setting aside the basement of the library as his "Dragon's Cave"

[[WMG: Spike will meet a young female dragon based on Whimsey from G3.5]]
The two will develop a mutual crush on each other. She is, like him, an assistant to some other pony who visits Ponyville for the episode but at the end she must leave with the two of them starting a correspondence.
* Then the pony who Whimsey is the assistant to. Will get a crush on Twilight.

[[WMG: Toola Roola and/or Star Song will make an appearance, and maybe get their own toys.]]
They're the only two ponies of the G3 Core Seven who haven't yet appeared in ''Friendship is Magic''.

[[WMG: The Mane Cast's PsychoRangers[=/=]{{Evil Counterpart}}s will represent the SevenDeadlySins.]]
* [[TheSixthRanger Spike's]] counterpart is Lust like he had over Rarity.
* Pinkie Pie's counterpart is Gluttony on account she ate all those sweets.
* Rarity's counterpart is Greed for her love of gems.
* Applejack's counterpart is Envy for her jealously to anyone who's better than her.
* Rainbow Dash's counterpart is Sloth of her slacking off.
* Fluttershy's counterpart is Wrath of her [[BewareOfTheNiceOnes snapping.]]
* Twilight Sparkle's counterpart is Pride over her being Celestia's top pupil.
** Rarity and Applejack could switch sins. Rarity got very envious of Fluttershy's fame, while Applejack is the one who sings about making money.
*** Applejack sings about making money for her family. Earlier she mentioned using it to get a new barn and plow and replace Granny Smith's hip. So Greed still fits Rarity better.
**** As the guy who created this WMG, Rarity can be Prideful herself, and Twilight can be Wrathful since she evolves to {{Pokemon Rapidash}}.

[[WMG: Villains will only have a limited presence in the series.]]
Mostly to season openers and finales with most of the episodes in between still focusing on the slice-of-life elements.

[[WMG: There will be an episode where one of the ponies gets a boyfriend.]]
And the others will do everything in their power to break up the relationship, since they're worried it might break up their friendship. (And since their friendship powers the Elements of Harmony needed to fight off serious threats to Equestria, this is a little less selfish then it sounds.) The boyfriend will most likely [[StatusQuoIsGod leave at the end of the episode.]]
* Maybe, though if he leaves at the end it could present a FamilyUnfriendlyAesop if it isn't handled well.
** It could just be revealed that their relationship was purely platonic and the other ponies were wearing ShippingGoggles. Or they decided that their relationship wasn't going to work out and became JustFriends offscreen.

[[WMG: There will be an episode where the Mane Cast find a hippocampus washed up on a beach.]]
A hippocampus is a mythical creature with a horse body and a fish tail instead of back legs. Faust has expressed interest in using them, so it's a possibility. After some problems at a weather factory, there is a HUGE storm. After things clear up, the Mane Cast goes down to the beach to clean up, where they find a hippocampus washed up on the beach. She swam too far away from her home when the storm came and she ended up getting blown VERY far away. Parts of the seas can be dangerous, and she does't know exactly the way home. The Mane Cast gets a boat and uses their skills and knowledge to help her get through a safe, quick route home. They succeed, and the end moral will be something like "Friends should team up to help others" or "Helping others is a good way to make friends".

[[WMG: The next villain after Discord...]]
There are three basic types of villains. Type one is a dark spirit that cannot have its own form, but must take the form of others (Nightmare Moon applies). Type two is a physical being who represents a form of evil, like Discord representing chaos. The third type is a mix; a physical being that is not truly human/pony/whatever. They represent all forms of evil and can have their own form. However, they are composed completely of shadow and are usually a [[LegendOfZelda dark counterpart.]] My guess is a group of dark versions of the mane cast will appear and attempt to destroy the Elements of Harmony.

Opinions are appreciated.
* Perhaps a revival of Tirek from My Little Pony Generation 1?
* Some sort of EvilOverlord, who represents the villainous side of order, to show that [[LightIsNotGood order is not always good]], just like [[DarkIsNotEvil chaos is not always evil]].
** Even better, he/she ends up releasing Discord due to the strife they cause. And Discord [[EnemyMine teams up with the mane cast]], because [[EvenEvilHasStandards even ''he'' finds this new villain utterly despicable.]]
*** Or at least boring.
**** (I am the poster above you) [[TakeAThirdOption Why not both?]]
* An OmnicidalManiac, representing nothingness or mindless destruction.
* Wielders of the "Elements of Discord"
* The next villain will not be a huge, supernatural threat, but an Earth Pony manipulating their way to ''[[FromNobodyToNightmare becoming]]'' a huge, supernatural threat. [[LightIsNotGood They would also be chalk-white and behave in a generally polite, affable manner]].

[[WMG: Applejack et al will be forced to deal with her nasty cousin "Crab Apple".]]
It seems like no matter what they do to cheer him up (Parties, new clothes, all the books he wants) he's still grumpy, complains about everything, and makes the others feel bad. In the end, They leave him to brood on his own with the Aesop of "You can't please all the people all the time".
* Then again, it can be twisted into other aesops: Crab Apple was upset about something that happened back home and wasn't in the mood for socializing ("People need time for themselves too.") or they actually ''ask'' what he likes, and it turns out he simply doesn't like the stuff they have been doing, and enjoys other activities the mane six normally wouldn't consider fun, like playing in the mud or something. ("Not everyone's ideas of fun is the same, and it's only fair we all get to do the things we enjoy.")

[[WMG: One of the villains this season will be [[TheMusicMeister a Music Meister]].]]
Considering the ''entire cast'' are pretty much fantastic singers as we've seen so far, it'd be a shame not to do a MusicalEpisode, but most of the songs done so far have had to have been limited to one per episode...or most often done by [[{{CloudCuckoolander}} Pinkie Pie]]. WordOfGod has confirmed there will be more villains this season, why not take advantage of it and have one of them be an excuse for a MusicalEpisode. And end it with someone who doesn't like singing (perhaps Sweetie Belle, which could also go a little bit, or even all the way, into earning her Cutie Mark) having to beat the villain in a singing contest or something.
* And this [[TheMusicMeister Music Meister]] will be played by NeilPatrickHarris I assume?
** Better, Hinton Battle. And he will do a ''killer'' tap dance!

[[WMG: There will be a bit character who is an older male pony, accompanied by two young, beautiful, and [[{{Stripperific}} curiously-dressed]] female ponies, and his name will be Hugh Hoofner.]]
'Cause, you know, [[RuleOfFunny just for funny.]]
* If they [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar can sneak that by the censors, of course.]]

[[WMG: The next big enemy of the Ponies will try to replace Celestia's rule with a bureaucratic order where emotions like friendship would be abandoned in the name of efficiency.]]
Until now, we had Eternal Night and Eternal Chaos, so why not Eternal Order as the next big threat? It would be as much antagonistic to Friendship as Eternal Chaos, and possibly even more than Eternal Night. It's definitely a possibility.
* Perhaps the villain could be a MadScientist or GadgeteerGenius obsessed with machines? They could also have a shot at redemption, assuming they aren't [[CompleteMonster truly evil.]]

[[WMG: One of the new villains will be an old minion of Nightmare Moon.]]
Perhaps a {{Golem}} or other mechanical creature, [[SealedEvilInACan lying dormant for a thousand years but suddenly awakened.]] Luna will probably feel some guilt about the harm that comes to other ponies (Bonus points if she actually created the villain in the first place if it is artificial or magical in nature) due to this villain's rampage. The villain may try to return Luna to her Nightmare Moon form.

[[WMG: The next [[BigBad villain]] will force be [[GodzillaThreshold Discord Threshold]] level.]]
Possibly the "order villain" suggested elsewhere but the situation will become so bleak they have to release Discord.
* Bonus points if Discord gives Celestia a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about her ''needing'' him to spread chaos.

[[WMG: Some part of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E11HearthsWarmingEve Hearth's Warming Eve]]" will foreshadow a coming villain.]]
* Shortly after [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 Return of Harmony, part 2]] aired Jayson mentioned another villain. At some point in this episode, there will be a hint of the villain's nature, perhaps they will somehow have been involved in the blizzard.
** This has some merit to it. [[spoiler: The Windigos]] are hinted in the episode to still be around. All they need is a little interspecies animosity…

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Possible Plots]]
[[WMG: The Aesop in the final episode (assuming the series is not canceled mid season) will be about learning to part ways with friends.]]
The series takes it's viewers at least somewhat seriously compared to most girls cartoons. The final planned episode will involve the main cast being called away from Ponyville for their own reasons, with at least a couple in a situation where they won't likely meet the rest of the group again. The episode will involve one of the ponies desperately clinging onto contact with some or all of the other ponies, before learning that her clinginess is only serving to hinder her friends' own lives and making the whole process more painful for everyone involved. Lauren Faust will want to let the target audience know that friendship that suffocates is just selfishness. The ending will be "happy" as the ponies come to terms with the fact, but will still be mildly depressing, just like in {{real life}}.
* This troper assumes that sooner or later, Twilight Sparkle will have to go back to Canterlot anyhow, so the series finale discussed above would actually make a lot of sense.
* The lesson will be ill taught by Celestia, wishing to keep Twilight from being psychologically tortured later in life like herself. One pony will become dangerously depressed, and Celestia will forbid, in a loving motherly way, Twilight from returning, in an attempt to teach her to let go. The true final lesson will be that while you may have to break paths with friends, that does not mean you must abandon them. This lesson will be one Twilight teaches to Celestia as she escapes back to Ponyville against Celestia's orders.
* Let's be honest, the show's aimed at young girls. Seeing as simply reading the synopsis made [[Tropers/GrimBloodyFable this rather stoic troper]] die a little inside, imagine how the target audience would feel with an ending like that. It's much more likely that the final episode of the first season will be their biggest adventure, but they'd likely still be together at the end. It's what the fans would want, and it leaves room for a second season.
** Series finale, not season.
*** My bad. My point still stands, however. This is MyLittlePony we're talking about. It's pretty likely that they'd end on a high note.
* No, the series finale will be the previous season finale because some executive JerkAss will decide to pull the plug without warning. Bitter? Me?
** How'd the ''SymBionicTitan'' fans get in here?
*** Pfft, kids these days. I came by my opinion through ''{{Firefly}}'' and ''{{Babylon 5}}'', thank you very much.
*** Hey, we needed ''something'' to watch.
* Seriously, it would be a lot more likely that in the final episode Celestia will cave in and let Twilight Sparkle stay in Ponyville, considering her actions in "Ticket Master" and "Bird in the Hoof" (while saying "she'll change her mind eventually" to herself as she had just made Twilight into an immortal God-Princess).
** The lesson of "learning to say goodbye to your friends" will actually come when Spike eventually grows too large to stay with Twilight and must go into the world to live as an adult dragon.
*** I think that will be (part of) the series finale. A "learning to say goodbye to friends" episode would be touching, especially to those of us who have had to say goodbye to friends who we know we won't see for a long time. One or more of the mane ponies having to say goodbye would be a bit too sad, I think, and it might be difficult to justify one of them leaving for good. If Twilight returned to Canterlot it would not be hard for her to visit regularly and the others could easily spend the rest of their lives in Ponyville. But Spike ''will'' grow up and have to leave eventually. And if the series finale does involve anyone having to say goodbye, you can count on declarations of "Confound these ponies they drive me to tears".
*** And being the living fax machine that he is, it would be easy for Spike to keep in contact with Twilight and the other ponies.
* The series finale may be about the friends getting separated... but still end with a high note with Twilight attempting to reunite them. More specifically, she would try to reunite them displaying each of the elements of harmony along the way to drive the point home... and fail, accepting the aesop. However, after some time passes, she realizes she doesn't like being a twilight-god-princess as much as she wants her friends back, and breaks the previous aesop by giving it a second try. Thus deconstructing friendship and then reconstructing it.
* While I'm sure that Aesop will be in an episode, I doubt it will happen like that, especially for a last episode. Personally, I think a new character will join the cast for a little while (just enough time for her to grow on us), and then will have to leave for some reason or another, and the Aesop will be used then. Mostly because I doubt the mane cast will ever have to say goodbye for good to each other, not in a show like this.
* If it [[https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1zZZnizNM_2hh_UQ22gmk2VChBrlFCmyLevNuCbKbSaQ resembles this fanfic]] in any way, this normally collected troper will spending the rest of the day bawwwing his eyes out.
* This is a very interesting idea, and one that would add a great deal of extra depth to an already interesting show. If it appears in the middle of a season, it might be a tremendous GrowingTheBeard or CerebusSyndrome moment for the show. And if it happens as the original poster guesses in a GrandFinale of sorts, I will officially declare that episode/group of episodes "My Little Pony's Toy Story 3"

[[WMG: Dash's second Sonic Rainboom will be important in the future.]]
Her first one indirectly helped the mane cast to get there Cutie Marks, and (as said below) possibly aided in binding the bearers of the Elements of Harmony together. According to Pinkie, no one's ever done a Sonic Rainboom since. So, it's possible that when one does occur, it has far reaching consequences.
* It kind of was, considering ''it already happened. In episode 16. Where the plot revolved around Rainbow pulling it off''. Just sayin'.
** I believe the OP meant that the Sonic Rainboom in episode 16 will have greater significance than we currently know.
* Or Perhaps it will have something to do with the ''villains''. Just a guess.

[[WMG: A later episode will feature Twilight and company visitng Zecora's homeland.]]
There'll be some SceneryPorn inspired by the Serengeti Plains, the usual culture shock jokes, maybe an encounter with a monster from African folklore in which they team up with the locals to save the day, and a lesson in mutual respect for other cultures or something.

[[WMG: Season 2 will feature Nightmare Moon possessing at least one of the mane cast.]]
Since WordOfGod has confirmed that Luna was turned into Nightmare Moon by some kind of external force of evil, and that season 2 is going to have a recurring villain, it seems awfully likely that this being will reappear in some capacity. It might just possess Luna again, of course, but "Party of One" and "The Best Night Ever" have demonstrated that Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are fragile enough to be potential targets as well. They both react very badly to being unappreciated -- just like Luna -- and might likewise be corrupted in a moment of weakness.

After a few episodes of villainy, Luna will then join the remaining mane characters and will wield either the Element of Laughter or the Element of Kindness in Pinkie Pie's/Fluttershy's stead to defeat Nightmare Moon and return whoever to normal.

* If Nightmare Moon (or whatever was behind Luna's transformation) wants a powerful host, Twilight would be the perfect candidate. A "Twilight Moon" with Twillight's GlowingEyesOfDoom would be awesome and frightening at the same time.
** Or, as part of a BaitAndSwitch, whatever possessed Luna will try and trick the Mane Cast and Luna into thinking it wants either Luna or Twilight in order to distract them from its real target [[spoiler: Spike, adding the almost unstoppable power of a dragon to its own.]]
*** That is a beautiful idea! Let's mail it in!

[[WMG: Pinkie Pie's mental fragility will be an argumental point during season 2.]]
WordOfGod confirmed villains during season 2, which means a confrontation against the bearers of the Elements of the Harmony. Pinkie seems to be the weakest link among them, so by breaking her into another depression pit, the Element of Laughter is removed from the BigBad's way.
* Unless the villain isn't throughly annoyed of Pinkie's antics. Pinkie isn't really that easy to break. We've only seen one breakdown from her once.
* And that breakdown came from her thinking she'd failed in what is almost literally her only reason for being alive -- making those around her happy.
* Pinkie Pie actually is not that easy to break. From what we've seen, as long as she has friends, she's happy and (relatively) stable. The easiest of the Mane Six for villains to break would probably be either Rainbow Dash (provided you could find something faster than her) or Fluttershy (just use evil magic to turn all the critters against her).
* If Discord turns out to represent the thing he's named after, perhaps another villain could be dubbed Fear and Pinkie Pie's element is his KryptoniteFactor. It'd certainly justify trying to get Pinkie Pie out of his way.

[[WMG: As a counter to the above: Pinkie Pie's personality will become a plot point in Season 2.]]
Word of God confirmed villains during season 2, which means a confrontation against the bearers of the Elements of the Harmony. Perhaps the PsychoRangers speculated above will be counterpoints to the mane cast (Elements of Discord?)

When Pinkie Pie goes against her opposite (Element of Despair?) rather than give in, she will cause Despair to undergo a HeelFaceTurn by sheer force of her joy. [[TearJerker And it will be the most]] ManlyTears [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming inducing thing in the show to date.]]
* Extra points if it involves a DisneyDogFight between the Elements of Harmony and Elements of Discord/Chaos/Whatever.
** I second that!

[[WMG: Prince Blueblood will learn a lesson in humility.]]
After he is banished from Canterlot for insulting Celestia's students.
* Hmmm…sounds like the plot of a [[ThePrincessAndTheFrog certain Disney film]]. Well, if Disney has taught us anything, it's that the [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove only way]] to teach a [[BeautyAndTheBeast spoiled prince]] to mend his ways is via BalefulPolymorph. If Blueblood is somehow turned into a creature, either Pinkie or Fluttershy will try to make a pet of him.

[[WMG: Rarity opens up a franchise in Canterlot.]]
And from then on, roughly half of the episodes take place there.

[[WMG: Trixie will return in the second or third season, AND... ]]
She will have a royal commission to study friendship from Princess '''Luna''', effectively making her the [[BlackMagicianGirl Black Magician Pony]] to Twilight's [[MagicalGirlWarrior Magical Pony Warrior]], and will also wind up being either her WorthyOpponent, FriendlyEnemy, or TheRival.
* Due to Fan demand, Trixie's return will be kinda unavoidable.


Even though they won't be in true opposition to each other (both will be trying to save friendships and ponies with what they learn) the [[EvilCounterpart mirroring aspect]] will be complete enough that while Twilight is focused on what makes friendships start and grow, Trixie will be finding out what makes them fail and die. Also, while Twilight has Spike as a [[NonHumanSidekick Non-Pony Sidekick]], Trixie will wind up with Snips & Snails as her [[MinionWithAnFInEvil assistants]].

At least a fifth to a fourth of the show's Aesop endings will be submitted by Trixie to Luna, and will provide a wrap-up of what NOT to do.

* Alternatively, she becomes a recurring antagonist, and somehow gets [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Snips and Snails]] [[TerribleTrio as as her henchmen,]] basically making them [[TeamRocket Team Rocket]] for the mane cast.

[[WMG: Season 2 will have an episode in which: ]]
Celestia will leave Twilight in temporary charge (while having the important stuff already done, just to be sure) of Equestria, while she and Luna take a spa day or something. As the rest of the cast get toured around the capital by Spike, in which [[HilarityEnsues hilarity ensues]]. [[TheChainsOfCommanding Twilight will become obsessed with the littlest things.]] Add in Pinkie causing riots or something. At the end, Celestia will return, and teach Twilight that leaders need to place trust in their followers, that not everything needs to be done yourself.
* Well, if [[MerchandiseDriven history repeats itself,]] then [[http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_AU/shop/details.cfm?guid=2377BFCC-5056-900B-1096-DDB33CEF1B7F this]] toy could be a forebearer of things yet to be.

[[WMG: Musical Episode!]]
Even more than usual, I mean. [[WeirdAlYankovic Weird Al]] could make a [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Pony Polka!]]
* Alternatively, the Mane Six lose all their voices due to the musical villain (possibly played by "Weird Al") so the plot will be mostly served [[ADayInTheLimeLight by the background ponies]] like Octavia and DJ Pon-3.

[[WMG: Season 2 will have an episode in which: ]]
Spike will [[RhymesOnADime yearn to learn]] about his dragon parents, or substitute parents, who believe in [[TheSpartanWay The Spartan Way]]. Eventually, he will realize that their way doesn't fit him, and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming he will have a montage of growing up with Twilight at Canterlot]]. This will serve as an Aesop about adoptive parents.
* They actually did an episode very similar to this in the 80's series.
* Alternatively, maybe his dragon parents aren't that bad at all, but even then, Spike still misses Twilight.

[[WMG: Season 2 will have an episode where Spike goes through Dragon Puberty]]
Specifically: getting his wings and possibly horns. At first he'll think that he's awkward and ugly and possibly try to run away again when his clumsiness ruins some important event, only to eventually be reassured that his friends still love him anyway and went through similar phases only to come out okay themselves.
* As mentioned under ArtEvolution and VocalEvolution Spike is one of the few characters who is visibly aging as the show progresses. Perhaps dragons age at different rates than ponies and he will eventually start going though larger growth spurts as he becomes an adolescent. It's possible his voice actor may be recast too.
** A [[BrokenBase Base Breaker moment if I ever saw one.]]
* A strong likely chance given the Spike-centric upcoming episode "The Secret of My Excess". Whether this is just growing up or growing large remains in question.

[[WMG: There will be an episode where Dash finally gets an invite to join the Wonderbolts...]]
... But ends up turning it down, because she finds out that if she takes it she'll rarely ever get to see her friends again. The aesop of the episode would be something like sometimes friends are more important than one's own desires. (Of course, it would be a massive case of [[YourMilageMayVary YMMV]] to some people if pulled this way.)
* Alternatively, it could be somethinng like she finally gets an invite to join them, but something puts her friends in danger (Possibly the antagonist of season 2). She would then be forced between her friends or joining the Wonderbolts, to which she'll get a BigDamnHeroes moment when she chooses her friends.
** You really think Discord would simply do something like that? Assuming he would come back.
** Either that, or Dash chooses to TakeAThirdOption, and somehow finds a way to be loyal to her friends and the Wonderbolts at the same time (possibly performing another Sonic Rainboom on the way to and/or in order to rescue her friends), and our Aesop for the episode is something about how you can (and should) always make time for your friends.

[[WMG: Alternatively, there will be an episode involving RD and Wonderbolts but she will just hang with them or be a temporary member.]]
And episode will be about or conclusion from it that RD will abandon for now or forever of her dream to be Wonderbolt and stick with rest of main six as what she realizes that it is her true calling.
* Alternatively-alternatively (Wonderbolt episode ideas are fun!), one of the Wonderbolts gets injured before an upcoming race with a rival team and Spitfire suggests having Rainbow Dash (she did win the Best Young Flyer's competition after all) fill in. As it turns out, the rival team is the best flying team of griffons, with none other than Gilda (who's still bitter about the events of "Griffon the Brush Off") among their ranks. At some point in the episode, for whatever reason, Gilda's life will be in danger and Dash will have to choose between saving Gilda or winning the race for the Wonderbolts, and of course chooses Gilda. They reconcile, Spitfire tells Dash she made the right choice even though the Wonderbolts lost the race, an Aesop is given about loyalty to friends, you get the idea.
* Or Dash is given the chance to perform a routine with them, triggering a major "ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh" attack. While she doesn't become a permanent mamber, she a least gets to keep the costume.

[[WMG: Or an episode where Rainbow Dash learns of all the mundane things the Wonderbolts do, and she loses interest in the group.]]

[[WMG: Season 2 will feature an episode in which:]]
A magical mishap of some sort causes the mane cast to [[FountainOfYouth turn into adorable babies]], [[HilarityEnsues and the responsibility of taking care of them will fall to the CMC]]. Zecora may get some time to shine as well, as she would most likely be the first one that Apple Bloom would think of to ask for help; this would also give the writers an excuse to have the CMC become [[BadlyBatteredBabysitter Badly Battered Babysitters]] as they try to keep six rambunctious babies from getting hurt in the Everfree Forest and learn a lesson about responsibility.

[[WMG: One episode will feature [[MemeticMutation double rainbow all the all the way across the sky]].]]
What will it mean? It might even be a triple rainbow!
* Well, they already had [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 chocolate rain]]...

[[WMG: There will be [[FreakyFridayFlip The Obligatory Body Swap Episode]].]]
Maybe it won't be in Season 2, maybe it will, but at some point in the show's course there will inevitably be some sort of magical accident that causes the mane cast to turn into one another, [[VoicesAreMental though still sounding like themselves for some reason]], and be forced to live as each other for a single day. The friendship report will, naturally, be about different perspectives and walking a mile in someone else's horseshoes. Here are some possible swapees and who they might become. Feel free to add.
* Twilight Sparkle
** Rainbow Dash
** Princess Celestia
** Spike
* Rarity
** Fluttershy
** Rainbow Dash, for a little MythologyGag (see [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwyIR598a_s here]])
* Pinkie Pie
** Twilight Sparkle
* Applejack
** Rarity
* Fluttershy
** Pinkie Pie
* Rainbow Dash
** Applejack
* ...Spike?
** Twilight Sparkle
** Even better, Rarity for a hilarious MythologyGag! (Spike's voice actress was G3 Rarity)
* Hell, maybe even Princess Celestia!
** Twilight Sparkle
** Luna, probably for some coup d'etat.
* A six-way swap between the whole mane cast.
* Perhaps an explaination could be Twilight temporally having a mess up with her magic and losing control of it for a short time.
* Also, given the now obvious DarkerAndEdgier tone the show has taken, I wouldn't be surprized if there was a TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody aspect to it, gradually picking up each others mannerisms, abilities, memories and the like, gradually start forgeting their own, and with each of the ponies getting used to their new host bodies, causing them to find a way to turn back before it was too late. I would think the change would be most apperant in whoever gets stuck as Rainbow Dash if, for no other reason, the new-found freedom that comes with her body. And, also, it's clear that the show does ''not'' assume that ViewersAreMorons. It never has. So I don't know about the VoicesAreMental thing. Besides, it'd be hysterical for one pony's vocal mannerisms to come from the voice of another.
** Maybe they ''never'' get back into their old bodies, but just adapt to their new bodies so well over time that it effectively restores status quo.
*** Nah. That'd render the whole episode useless. Besides, we'd ''never'' hear the end of it.
*** [[MemeticMutation Congratulations, X! You're the new Y!]]

[[WMG: Season 2 will introduce Hippogriffs, the port town of Stalliongrad and Airships]]
The Hippogriffs will also come in Unicorn (though this time it's double Horned), Pegasus, and Earth varieties, and be highly skilled with tools and vehicles given their Pony Heritage, Claws by Griffin heritage, and their never-ending need to find new and better ways to make dinner with little or no effort on their part. They live in Stalliongrad, a massive seaport-airport hybrid where ships sail the seas and the skies.
* It would also reek heavily of communist bloc cities, and the aesop is finding joy in the darkest of times.

[[WMG: The Girls get re-invited to the gala, but they don't want to go.]]
So they try to foist the tickets on other ponies, but are having trouble choosing who to give them to.
* Twilight Sparkle will try to "accidentally" "lose" her ticket to Trixie in a competition. Either Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash (or both) will try to pass their tickets to Gilda. Rarity will try to pass it to several different ponies (Photo Finish, Hoity Toity, even Blueblood) only to realize that her attempts are doomed to fail because outside the main cast, she knows mainly High Society ponies who already have their own tickets. Applejack will do the obvious and just try to sell the ticket. Fluttershy, too shy to even approach anyone, will have no idea whatsoever what to do. Of course, they all fail.

[[WMG:The mane cast will attend the next Grand Galloping Gala...]]
...but rather than treating it as a privilege like they did in season 1, they will consider their attending a ''public service''. Expect Fluttershy making up with the palace critters and leading an invasion, Twilight greeting guests in a manner designed to induce maximum confusion (possibly involving servings of WordSalad and/or ParanoiaFuel), Pinkie Pie being more Pinkie Pie than ever before, and at least one Sonic Rainboom. (Luna will also be there, her absence at last year's being explained by Celestia telling her she wouldn't like it and her presence at this one by Celestia eagerly assuring her that this one was ''guaranteed'' to be interesting, Twilight having indicated to her that they had some surprises planned.)

[[WMG: Twilight Sparkle gets stuck in a "Literature/{{Twilight}}" spoof episode.]]
She'll be harassed by a (very shiny) unicorn named Night Glider, who wants to do EVERYTHING with Twilight. The other five Ponies don't like him AT ALL. Initially, Twilight thinks they're just jealous, but soon finds out Night Glider was very literal with the phrase "be by your side forever". Eventually, he is booted out of Ponyville by the Mane cast (possibly by using the elements of Harmony again) and everyone learns a lesson in "friends look out for each other's best interests."
* For some weird reason, I actually want to see this...
* Throw in a jealous hippogrif named Blackmane, Pinkie Pie and Rarity recruiting for Team Blackmane and Team Night Glider, and you got a PARTY.

[[WMG: Spike will get turned into a pony for an episode.]]
Because it would not only be [[HilarityEnsues funny]], but the [[AnAesop moral]] could be a "Trot a mile in Another's Hooves" type deal.
* For bonus hilarity, Spike's pony form will become a LustObject for Rarity only for Spike to be turned off by her aggressive pursuit.
** So [[NoGuyWantsToBeChased no male dragon wants to be pursued by a mare]]?
* Alternatively, he'll become a LustObject for ''[[ToyShip Sweetie Belle]]''.

[[WMG: There will be an episode confronting Spike's place in the cast]]
One of the big debates around Spike (even on this very wiki) is his place in the show. Is he part of the main cast or is he a secondary character? Is he his own person or is he more like Twilight's pet? There's evidence for each point in the show, and an episode (although since he's already had his ADayInTheLimeLight episode for this season it may not be until season 3) will confront these issues and change the character dynamic a bit.

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will go back in time and perform a Sonic Rainboom thereby creating the original myth surrounding the phenomenon.]]
* Well…that would explain how the "myth" began when supposedly nobody had ever performed a Sonic Rainboom before. Maybe the one who witnesses it is a younger Celestia, [[FridgeBrilliance which could maybe explain why she didn't attempt to save Rarity in "Sonic Rainboom".]]
** That would be a good idea. And even better would be having Celestia tell her that when she returns to the present.

[[WMG: Gilda and Trixie will team up with the villains.]]
Ashamed with being laughed out of Ponyville, Trixie falls into a deep depression. The same evil force that turned Luna into Nightmare Moon will see this as an opportunity to take over a potentially powerful host. It convinces her to host it, promising that it will greatly amplify her powers. It also manages to convince other characters, among them, Gilda, to join it's side. They go to fight the main characters. Gilda is asked to take down Rainbow Dash. She gives Rainbow Dash a beating, but finds herself unable to deliver the final blow. She remembers the good times that they had, and their years of friendship. She realizes what a jerk she was, and decides to side with the main characters, fighting against the evil force.
* I like the idea that they are offered the chance to become villains in exchange for power to get back at those who showed them up, but Trixie refuses because if she can't win on her own then her boasts are even more hollow and Gilda thinks that kind of plot is lame. The evil force then brainwashes them anyways.
** Could they pull Heel Face Turns later and backstab the evil force?

[[WMG: Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo will have her own episode.]]
It will be about a letter that HAS to be delivered, but can't due to some complication (a monster?) and the name of it will be some pun on "Through hail, wind or snow". The Mane cast will gain a new found respect for the postal service, and the aesop will be about appreciating people. And it will still have plenty of derpy moments, even if Derpy will be shown to be a good mailmare overall.

[[WMG: Pinkie Pie will have an episode where the Aesop will be about PoorCommunicationKills]]
Because after the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E10SwarmOfTheCentury paraspite ep]], it would be odd. Might show up in season 3 instead.

[[WMG: Twilight Sparkle will be turned into a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampony]]]]
But she'll find that [[YourVampiresSuck undeath is overrated]] as she can't be around her friends without hungering for their blood (or LifeEnergy since it's a kid's show), can't see her beloved mentor's sun again, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking doesn't cast a reflection]]. So she'll find a cure for it by the end of the episode.

[[WMG: Derpy Hooves is going to have a FaceHeelTurn.]]
We already know that she is going to be part of the Mane cast, but she doesn't exactly represent an element of harmony (since there should only be 6,) does she? The answer? They put in an opposite force, elements of discord or whatever, and use HER as the 6th one, we already have 5 (the force that controlled Luna, and the 4 stars that helped Nightmare Moon escape). Some of the later (or pilot) episode(s) will revolve around this turn of events, possibly with a solid continuity. I only wish it didn't make so much sense.
* When did Lauren Faust say Derpy'd be part of the '''Mane''' cast?

[[WMG: Sweet Apple Acres is hit by a blight.]]
After bringing Granny Smith home from surgery, Big Mac, Applejack and Apple Bloom find out that in their absence their crops have been hit by "skyworms" and have rendered it all inedible. With the family's source of income gone, and Granny Smith's medical bills keep piling up, the three grandchildren have to figure out a way to make ends meet. Applejack asked Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy for help, but they each run off in a different direction. Big Macintosh offers his services as a delivery pony, but does not get many customers, Applejack gets a part-time job at Sugarcube corner (Because Pinkie Pie has gone to visit her parents) but is too stressed to do anything right, and poor Apple bloom tries a bunch of things, but fails at every turn. When "Mr. Taxes" comes to repossess the farm, Twilight Sparkle runs up and presents Mr. Taxes with a basket full of bits. Twilight has sold some of her books to help Applejack and her family, but sadly this isn't enough. Rarity and Fluttershy show up with a BIGGER basket of bits, as they worked their tails off to find and sell gems, but this still isn't enough. Finally Rainbow Dash shows up with the rest of town, She did a little stunt show to raise money, and when the townsponies asked why, they each wanted to help. The Cakes, Mayor Pony, Cherrilee, and everyone else shows up with money in hoof. Before anyone could count it all, Spike coughs up a letter from Celestia, who has graciously loaned the apple family one million bits. Applejack is moved to tears by her friend's generosity, and Mr. Taxes lets the Apple family keep their farm. In the end, they had all collected fourteen times the amount of money the apple family needed, and since Pinkie Pie just returned (With the entire crop of another Apple family's farm in tow. Don't worry, this was donated), they throw a party. The Aesop is "True friends stick together through thick and thin".

[[WMG: Rarity tries to "Turn Rainbow Dash into a Lady."]]
A fellow designer stops by Rarity's shop to "find inspiration" and she introduces herself to the rest of the mane cast. Things go well until she meets Rainbow Dash, who seems to give the guest pony a rather slovenly greeting and she arrives at the shop covered in mud. Deeply offended, Rarity asks the girls to please help Miss Designer by touring Ponyville, and Rarity sets to work teaching Rainbow Dash etiquette. Dash does not enjoy one minute of this and tries to thwart Rarity's attempts. Eventually, the rest of the Mane cast are forced to return to the shop, where Rarity and Rainbow Dash have begun to fight it out. Suddenly, The designer reveals her less lady-like side, and this shocks everyone. It turns out the designer was born and raised in the boonies of Equestria, and seems relieved that she has found someone she can be less formal around. The lesson here is "You can't change people, accept them for who they are."
* So then Rarity's goal would be so that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwyIR598a_s Rainbow Dash always dresses in style]]?

[[WMG: We'll get a TimeTravel episode where some of the cast meets Nightmare Moon during her imprisonment.]]
There'll be an accident sending some ponies to the moon during NightmareMoon's imprisonment. Nightmare Moon, having gone crazy from the lack of social interaction, will go {{Yandere}} for them.
* As a BrickJoke, perhaps have Luna apologize to them at some time in the episode for no clear reason, the first time they've met since her freedom. They think it's just for her being Nightmare Moon in general, but at the end, they find out ''this'' is what she meant.
** That's a good idea. Maybe [[MythologyGag the four stars that released her could turn out to be four of the mane cast?]]

[[WMG: There will be an episode that will address Cutie Mark Failure Insanity Syndrome.]]
Considering that [[DysfunctionJunction all of the mane characters]] have had at least [[SanitySlippage one mental breakdown]], it would be interesting to have an episode where they have to face their problems.

[[WMG: Pinkie Pie will help Sweetie Belle get over her fear of singing in front of audiences.]]
Her or Rarity. it'd be a nice sister-bonding moment if it was Rarity.

[[WMG: Diamond Tiara will temporarily lose her cutie mark.]]
She has to spend a whole week without it, and comes to respect the CMCs a little more. She still remains friends with them once she gets her cutie mark back (but she keeps it a secret).

[[WMG: There will be an episode where Rainbow Dash puts on a member of the Wonderbolts uniform while they aren't looking…]]
[[HilarityEnsues …And proceed to get chased around by Wonderbolts fans.]]

[[WMG: There will be an episode parodying the perception of Celestia as evil.]]
By either misunderstanding, possession, or... Really, who knows what else?
* And it will be called "A Bird In The Hoof".
** Another way this could happen is the mane cast taking a trip to the pony equivalent of Hollywood, and starring in a movie where Celestia is the villain, with all her terrible deeds in {{fanon}} played for laughs. (Banishing ponies to the moon on a whim? There's an '''entire city''' up there, with strong implications that an invasion/rebellion is imminent. Constantly pranking her subjects? Everypony's used to it, to the point that Celestia ''not pranking'' them is cause for concern. At the end of the episode is a TwistEnding: ''Celestia herself'' was the director!

[[WMG: There will be an episode where Spike feels embarrassed about only hanging out with girls.]]
* Some other boys (dragon, pony, or otherwise) will tease Spike about his "girly" interests, probably after he's just helped Rarity with something particularly girly, and he'll spend the episode trying to prove that he's "manly." At the end, he will learn AnAesop (possibly from [[{{Tomboy}} Rainbow Dash]]) about how your ''real'' friends don't care if you're a boy who likes girly things or a girl who likes boyish things, and will accept you for who you are. The entire episode will be filled to the brim with nods to the [[PeripheryDemographic bronies]] who aren't afraid to admit to enjoying "a show for little girls."

[[WMG: The infamious FanFic/{{Cupcakes}} fic will become an AscendedMeme...]]
...In the form of an in-universe scary movie being filmed in Ponyvile. Pinkie Pie will be cast as the villain and Rainbow Dash as a victim. Naturally it'll be toned down, but refrences will be made while they're reading the script that only people who are aware of the fic will realize. Possibly as a [[HalloweenEpisode Nightmare Night Episode]].
* Alternatively, it's a ghost story written by Spike after the events of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne Party Of One]].
* Or, if Krastos the Glue Maker actually shows up, he/she will be dressed similar to the outfit used in the fic.

[[WMG: Trixie and Gilda will meet up and become friends with each other and semi-friendly rivals with the Mane cast.]]

[[WMG: There will be a horror parody episode.]]
Which will be in Horror Anthology format, with a mysterious narrator telling three or four stories in one episode, all either borrowing from a story in the fandom or being a new one but with a few references, also being a bit marginally lighter than the source, the TwistEnding of the episode will reveal [[spoiler: either Pinkie Pie or ''Fluttershy'' as the narrator, just telling creepy stories to her friends]].
* That could work as a Halloween special...

Possible stories will reference:
* FanFic/{{Cupcakes}}: See past theories.
* The {{Luna Game}}s: Though with less jump scares and a little more [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel legitimate scares]].
* FanFic/StoryOfTheBlanks: Again, see past theories.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL5-8R6Kklg Eppaljeck]]: A long shot, but it would be mostly in a format like "there's something odd about Applejack."
* FanFic/{{Rainbow Factory}}

[[WMG: There will be a serious "FindTheCure" episode.]]
One of the group will get deathly sick and the others will have to locate a cure, half of them while the others stay behind to take care of her. Possibly Twilight, since her teleportation power could resolve the plot too fast. This seems to be a fairly popular fanfic plot for the series (and this is a series thus far prone to {{Ascended Meme}}s anyway) for the simple fact it'd certainly be a dramatic way to reinforce the friendship theme of the series over all. What better way to show the friendship of the characters than one of them being in serious danger and the others come to their aid?

[[WMG: There will be a CloningGambit episode.]]

[[WMG: There will be an EasyAmnesia episode.]]
Either with one pony or all of em'.

[[WMG: Fluttershy's FriendToAllLivingThings ability will be used to pull a BigDamnHeroes moment at some point.]]
Since there will be villains this season, it'd be a pretty good opportunity to combine her MamaBear mentality when it comes to her friends with her ability to befriend ''giant monsters''. Think about it, bad guy has the group on the ropes, about to finish them off and Fluttershy shows up with some backup, like the Dragon from Dragonshy or the Manticore from the pilot, to save the day.
* Or they show up because they sense Fluttershy, their friend, is in danger.

[[WMG: There will be an episode in which Luna is fulfilling Celestia's role.]]
Since Celestia mentioned they were meant to rule together, it only stands to reason that eventually Luna will take some princessing duties on herself. On one such occasion, she'll have to deal with the Mane Cast, perhaps giving them a task and supervising them.

Twilight will have to deal with responding not to her favourite mentor, but to someone who she barely knows but whom she is supposed to show the same respect and dedication, thus she'll be much more anxious about screwing something up, as well as harboring a slight resentment to Celestia for sending someone else to watch over her most faithful student.

The episode will probably end with Twilight writing a letter to Luna.

[[WMG: Trixie will get trapped in a lamp.]]
After being beaten by Twilight, she falls into the despair that many ponies go through when they feel they didn't follow through with the talent their Cutie Mark represents. In a quest for power, she finds the most powerful being is a genie. She goes through to become one, without realizing that genies are bound to a lamp and must do what the owner says. Eventually someone in Ponyville (maybe one of the Mane Cast, like Rainbow Dash or Spike, or a side character like Snips or Snails) gets ahold of the lamp and makes her grant all their wishes, to her dismay.

[[WMG: The Mane Six will have to fight The Smooze.]]
Except they won't win. Because nothing can stop The Smooze[[hottip:*:For those not in the know, The Smooze is a G1 villain.]].

[[WMG: There will be a episode centered in the mane six's pets.]]

[[WMG: We'll be getting a StoryArc at some point in Season 2 and/or beyond...]]
WordOfGod is that Hasbro insisted that the episodes be written to be viewed in any order, meaning [[NegativeContinuity no story arcs]]. But quite a few other shows started out with this mentality only to start introducing overarching plots in later seasons once it gained enough popularity and got the ball rolling. Given the wide PeripheryDemographic, this show has gained ''plenty'' of popularity to say the least.

[[WMG: The "Want it, Need it" spell will be used by an unscrupulous salespony.]]
A traveling peddler will come to ponyville selling useless wares (like perhaps used tissues) but enchant them with the spell. He can't be effected by the spell thanks to some special sunglasses he always wears, but everyone else in Ponyville is caught in the sway.
* He wouldn't need to wear special sunglasses. When Twilight cast the spell, she wasn't affected by it, presumably because she was the one who cast it.

[[WMG: We're going to see some of the Mane Cast's worst nightmares (either in an AllJustADream episode or not) at some point.]]
Among them being:
* Twilight Sparkle: Either losing her friends or [[PowerIncontinence absolutely losing control of her powers]]. Or possibly both.
** If hers is a dream, she'll lose her magic BECAUSE she lost her friends over something silly. We already know Twilight freaks over this sort of thing. If not, she'll lose her magic because of some illness unicorns can contract, where their magic gets backed up or doesn't work right for 24 hours. This will happen on a day where her friends have all requested use of her magical ability, and she will have to try and look like she's doing magic when she can't. This will make her friends mad because she'll mess it all up (since Twilight failed so badly during [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E11WinterWrapUp Winter Wrap-Up]]), and they'll think she did it on purpose. All will be fixed when Twilight just breaks down and tells them, OR Rarity figures it out because she once had the same problem, or Sweetie Belle just recovered from it.
** It's been implied in lots of episodes that Twilight's real worst fear is disappointing Princess Celestia, so it could be that instead.
* Rainbow Dash: Not being able to live up to the loyalty to her friends or [[SadisticChoice actually being forced to choose between them]] (much like with Discord, though with less brainwashing).
** In which case she would break the nightmare by taking the both [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]] [[TakeAThirdOption Third Option]]. A HeroicSacrifice.
** Alternately, we'll see her finally get to hang with the Wonderbolts as her prize from "Sonic Rainboom", since that never happened, and she'll try to show off and fail, and things will go south from there.
* Pinkie Pie: [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Being forever alone with no one to laugh with.]]
* Rarity: Falling out of favor with the fashion industry and/or having to get her mane and tail cut for some reason, like Sweetie Belle (or one of the other CMC, or somepony else) getting gum or similar in it or something.
* Fluttershy: Falling out of favor with her animal friends, which frustrates her into treating her friends badly. A mix of what happened at the Gala and when she was under Discord's MindRape. At first, Fluttershy's friends will react badly to this, then worry about her and try to fix things. Might not be a bad dream after all.
* Applejack: Sweet Apple Acres losing all or most of its main business because there is somepony else selling apples, either imports OR ones from Sweet Apple Acres itself that she (most likely she. It's ''always'' a she) is stealing. Twilight would greet this with nonchalance, as Twilight does, and tell Applejack that things will blow over or that she's simply imagining things and that Sweet Apple Acres is not really losing business.

[[WMG: There will be a Summer Sun Celebration episode.]]
And it will be filled with ContinuityPorn.

[[WMG: There will be an episode parodying SymBionicTitan.]]
Tara Strong's former castmates from that series will even make cameos voicing Pony versions of Lance and Newton/Octus.

[[WMG: There will be an episode where Spike meets other dragons.]]
He will meet other young dragons and hang out with them. Twilight will be supportive, since she knows he'll be happy having someone like himself to hang out with. Maybe she will even be the one who introduced them in the first place. But these new friends are jerks, they pressure Spike into doing things he doesn't want to do, and try to keep him from his pony friends by telling him that ponies are lame. The Mane Cast is concerned and tries to figure out what to do. Eventually he stands up to them when they take things too far and when he realizes who really cares about him, and the lesson is that true friends aren't always the ones who look and act like you.
* Would this work better with or without one of the dragons pulling a HeelFaceTurn against the others after Spike stands up to them and becoming a semi-reoccurring character? As long as it's written well enough, of course, possibly with some subtle {{Foreshadowing}} along the way.

[[WMG: One of the future episodes will be a MysteryScienceTheater3000 tribute episode.]]
All right, hear me out. Here's how I think it would go down:
Our six heroes, split into two teams of three, would be playing a game of truth or dare. In the dair pile would be a Bad Apple, a dare so bad, nopony wants it. So naturally, one team draws the Bad Apple card. The dare: To go to the Movie Theater (that no one had bothered to mention til now for some reason) and go see the movie everyone's staying away from: Zombie Ponies from Outer Space.
The trio then goes out to the Movie Theater (or Pony-Plex, as it'd be called) and find that nopony is there, they are the only three ponies in the theater for that screening (which, incidentally, is the only reason they're able to get away with talking throughout the movie.) The majority of the rest of the episode would consist of said riffing with the trio gradually finding that, although the film's bad, they're still having a good time regardless. The episode's moral would be something akin to the moral of the show on which the episode's based (and, no, I don't mean [[MST3KMantra that one.]]): With a little help from your friends, you can get through just about anything, espcially bad movies.
I know, it's a work in progress.
Of course, we'd have to make sure that the target audience is not rubbed the wrong way and that talking throughout the motion picture is okay (which it ain't), but I still think it's a half-decent idea. What about you?

[[WMG: There will be an episode in which Snips & Snails try to act like [[BigBrotherMentor Big Brother Mentors]] to Pipsqueak.]]
[[SelectiveObliviousness Unfortunately]], Pipsqueak's complaints about being as old as they are will fall on deaf ears.

[[WMG: Granny Smith finally passes on.]]
Her grandchildren are all gathered together some dark and stormy night, and Granny's in bed, getting sicker by the minute. Zecora, Fluttershy, Nurse Redheart, and other Doctor ponies are unable to fix her, so they leave. The Grandchildren realize that this could be it. Applejack refuses to believe that Granny can't be cured and vows to protect her from "eternal sleep". Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. A little black unicorn filly wearing a raincoat wants to be let in from the rain. They let her in, and Applejack goes on and on about how she'll protect Granny Smith from "Eternal Sleep". Then they ask the unicorn what her name is. She is Eternal Sleep, and she is an alicorn. All three grandchildren are in disbelief that the personification of death is a child. Before they can stop her, Eternal Sleep gets into Granny Smith's bedroom and gives her the strength to say goodbye to her grandchildren. Granny Smith gives them all a speech about how proud she is of each of them, that to see them all doing so well made her life worth it. Finally, Applejack allows Eternal Sleep to hold Granny Smith's hoof and leads her away, just as the storm clouds dissipate. At the Funeral, Applejack is the only one not crying. When her friends ask her why, she explains that while she is sad at losing Granny, when she remembers everything she did for her, it makes her happy. Then Applejack writes a letter to Princess Celestia about how saying goodbye is hard, but the happy memories will stay with you forever.

[[WMG: We will get at least 1 new episode focusing entirely on:]]
* Applejack.
** Maybe one where she competes with the local carrot business, and learns that partnerships pay off more than rivalries.
* Fluttershy.
** She could encounter some particularly nasty animal (a wolf, or a wild cat) that's giving the other fauna a hard time, and she'll have to find some non-violent way to deal with it.
* Pinkie Pie.
** And it will be ''[[RuleOfFunny insane]]''.
* Spike
** With little to no appearance of any of the mane 6 (if they appear, it's so they can lampshade how they're not the focus of the episode).

[[WMG: There will be a ChristmasEpisode.]]
And the Equestrian equivalent of Santa Claus will be a reindeer.
* Real or not, they do have some sort of Santa (judging by the costume display seen in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster The Ticket Master]]").

[[WMG: Not necessarily in Season 2, but there will be a RuleSixtyThree episode.]]

[[WMG: There will be an episode where two or sets of two ponies experience a FreakyFridayFlip, with the moral about respecting and understanding others' feelings.]]

[[WMG: It's not the last time we see the corrupted cast.]]
Perhaps later on, the mane cast will have to face their inner evils just like in {{Bleach}} where Ichigo fights his inner Hollow.
* [[http://hereticalrants.deviantart.com/art/Hollow-Twichigo-216352589?q=boost%3Apopular%20My%20Little%20Pony%3A%20Friendship%20is%20Magic%20bleach&qo=3 Just]] [[http://ah-darnit.deviantart.com/art/Pony-request-Hollow-Dash-243907188?q=boost%3Apopular%20My%20Little%20Pony%3A%20Friendship%20is%20Magic%20hollow&qo=1 like this...]]

[[WMG: The next antagonist will pull {{Body Surfing}}.]]
...But do a generally poor job of imitating who the Mane Cast are when they do get control over at least one of them.

[[WMG:One of the Mane Cast will die.]]
At the hands of the villains of S2, signaling [[DarkerAndEdgier a darker mood to the series]], with that episode's Aesop being dealing with the death of friends. Expect one of that ponies closer friends, such as Rainbow Dash to Applejack, to be [[BreakTheCutie crushed]]. Perhaps in a later episode said friend would have [[SwordOverHead the killer at their mercy]], most likely [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim with an Aesop about mercy.]]
* And now hopefully that I have posted this, the universe will do its best to stop it.

[[WMG: The ugly dresses from ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E14SuitedForSuccess Suited for Success]]'' will eventually reappear during a costume party.]]
Expect Rarity to be appalled, until it's pointed out that technically she didn't design them, her '''friends''' did.

[[WMG: The following is my take for 226 (Read as Season 2, Episode 26) of this series.]]
The episode would be called "The Best Day Ever" and it takes place on the Summer Sun Celebration -- Nightmare's "Night That Last Forever" last for one 24 period. The Mane Six and Spike gets ticket to this year Summer Celebration at Canterlot -- but the signer is unknown -- Pinkie Pie thinks it's Prince Blueblood -- much to Rarity's dismay -- while Twilight Sparkle assumed it is either Princess Celestina or Princess Luna. It turns out that everyone gets to do what they wanted to do at G.G.G: Applejack sells her apple treats, Pinkie Pie visits plenty of the parties, Rainbow Dash gets to show her stuff to the Wonderbolts again. Rarity meets Kara, a dark blue unicorn, Fluttershy fixes up her relation with the Castle's animals from G.G.G, learning the most animals were trying to sleep on that night, and Twilight Sparkle gets to talk to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The mane ponies learn that Kara is Prince Blueblood twin sister who brought tickets for them at S.S.C. for themselves in order to make up for the mane ponies's night at G.G.G. The Aesop here is that sometimes friendship can come from unexpected places.
* Kara? Wouldn't a name like... "Night Wish" be more appropriate in the Land of No Real Human Names? Only a few outlandish names like Lyra are actual names that apply to their cutie mark or talent (in Rarity's case). But they're a relatively big stretch.
** Well, there is Pony Joe...
*** Yeah, but "Pony Joe" is a commoner. It also might just be a nickname he got, based on how coffee can be called a "cup of joe", as doughnut shops typically have coffee, too. Kara is such a ''random'' name to pick. Like it's their own name, or their Ponysona's name. And besides, why say the name of the pony? Why not just say she'll be Blueblood's sister and leave it at that?

[[WMG:Luna will cause some serious trouble again.]]
Despite things going well on Nightmare Night, Luna's public image will remain quite poor, with most of the world's ponies mistrustful or hateful of her because of the things Nightmare Moon did in the past. Also, ponies will give no more attention/love to the night than the ponies a millennium ago did (or Luna will merely ''think'' so). Eventually, this will get bad enough to the point where Luna says, basically, "You all still hate me? You all still think my beautiful night is not important? Fine, then! Since you think my night is worthless and unnecessary, let's see how the world does without any night at all!" She then goes on to not only refuse to raise the moon, but also to somehow stop Celestia from being able to raise the moon or lower the sun. The result? [[EndlessDaytime 24-hour daytime and sunlight]]. Soon (days? weeks?) the resulting problems wreak havoc with everyone and everything - ponies' sleep cycles are disturbed, and thus they don't get the sleep they need; temperatures climb to constant, very uncomfortable or even dangerous levels without the night to cool the land and air; weather goes out of whack as a result of the temperature fluctuations (assuming that Equestria's weather and wind-cycles works in any way like Earth's); animals, unable to sleep at all, start dying in droves from exhaustion and severe sleep deprivation; eventually, droughts and/or famines might kick in. Eventually, the ponies realize just how vital the night is, and how they screwed themselves over by taking it for granted and ignoring it, as well as realizing that antagonizing a living goddess who control the day/night cycle is a bad idea no matter how it ends up. This leads to the ponies of the world begging Luna for forgiveness and to bring back the night before mass deaths start.

This could end in several ways. Luna could accept the ponies' apologies and return the night to existence, with everyone in the world having learned a very vital lesson. Or she could reject their apologies and refuse to return the night; if this happens, the Mane Six could end up having to convince her to do it... or, failing that, having to fight her and ''force'' the return of the night.

[[hottip:*:...If anyone wants to make a fanfic out of this, go ahead; I lack confidence in myself as a writer to adequately make this into a proper story.]]

[[WMG: There will be an episode [[LowerDeckEpisode about Celestia and Luna]]]]
In it there will be some exploration of her character, i.e. how, like Twilight, she never really had many friends due to her position of power. Before Luna reformed her Phoenix and student Twilight were the only people close to her and even then it was a teacher/student bond. Maybe even give rise to a new threat like the eleents of discord theories or the smooze theories.

[[WMG: Celestia will disguise herself as a normal Earth pony.]]
* ...So she can go around all day without being treated differently. It will go smoothly at first, but something will go wrong with the spell, making it so she can't change back to her true form at will. For extra drama, it will happen when Equestria needs her most, causing the Mane Six to save her.

[[WMG: There will be a {{Beatles}} episode, like [[ThePowerpuffGirls another Lauren Faust show]]]]
* In which the Mane Cast and Pipsqueak visit Liverpool [[hottip:*:which ThatOtherWiki tells me is also the name of a water obstacle in horse jumping]] and run into NoCelebritiesWereHarmed pony versions of TheBeatles themselves.

[[WMG: At some point, Twilight will clone herself.]]
Unfortunately, either the intelligence would be divided between the clones (resulting in either a Twilight that doesn't know what the other halves know, or the Twilights being progressively simple-minded), or they each represent a personality trait of Twilight's, one or two ''not'' wanting to go back to Twilight.

[[WMG: There will be a VerySpecialEpisode at some point.]]
Don't know what it would be about, though.


[[WMG:There is a future episode with a flashback that will have a filly Derpy.]]
The animators decided to sneak the filly!Derpy model in "The Cutie Pox" as a teaser.

[[WMG: The song that was leaked on the weekend of November 5th, if not a CD exclusive, will be in a future episode.]]
It could be in season two, but it may also be from season three, because we know they have already started recording voices (and songs) for season three. Given the nature of the song (its lyrics, and that it's long), it may feature in an episode [[spoiler: where everyone [[CrowdSong sings everything]]. Did you hear the choir backing Pinkie up near the end of the song?]]
* [[http://www.facebook.com/dannyimusic/posts/257320954315484 Daniel Ingram has implied that the song will be in an episode.]]

[[WMG: One or more episodes will [[DirectToVideo be released on DVD before they air]] on TheHub.]]
Perhaps as one of the five episodes on ShoutFactory's upcoming DVD ''[[http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0063FGF14 The Friendship Express]]''.
* Possibly confirmed. The DVD includes an episode titled "The Last Roundup", but it may be aired before the DVD comes out.
** [[http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-the-last-roundup/EP013304160040 It will indeed air before the DVD comes out]], but there's still the possibility of a future DVD containing a never-before-seen episode.

[[WMG: There will be an episode focusing on Scootaloo.]]
Sweetie Belle and Applebloom have both had episodes this season with them as the central characters, it's only natural Scootaloo will follow suit.
* The [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E7MayTheBestPetWin next episode]] is about Rainbow Dash hosting a flying race to see who will be her pet. Would it be surprising if [[LoonyFan Scootaloo]] decided to compete?
** That's {{Jossed}}, but there could still be a Scootaloo-centric episode in the future.
** If you take Cutie Pox as an Apple Bloom episode and Sisterhooves Social as a Sweetie Belle episode, then it would seem Scootaloo is due for a centric episode.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsG7WXyBguM#t=41m14s There will be an episode featuring a lot of Scootaloo]], but whether it'll actually focus on her remains to be seen.

[[WMG: At some point down the line, several fan-favorite background ponies will be featured in a LowerDeckEpisode]]
And it will be the ultimate love letter to the bronies.

[[WMG: Discord will return, and attempt to find other ways to remove the Elements of Harmony or their bearers.]]
Only this time, [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy he's going to try not to underestimate the Ponies]] this time. ''How'' he'll try to remove the elements or their bearers is up for speculation.

[[WMG: The next villain will be immune to the Elements of Harmony]]
And the mane cast will have to figure out an alternative way to stop them.
* And maybe they'll have to actually fight hoof-to-hoof and/or with combat/elemental[[hottip:*:FireIceLightning]] magic
** That would be an interesting twist.

[[WMG: There will be an episode showing that the mane six's virtues (honesty, loyalty, etc.) can be harmful if taken to extremes.]]
* Honesty: If you tell the whole truth all of the time and never hide anything from anyone, you become [[BrutalHonesty brutally honest]] and [[CannotKeepASecret can't be trusted with sensitive information]].
* Loyalty: If you support someone in everything they do and never disagree with them (even if it would be to their detriment), you become a [[YesMan Yes Mare]].
* Kindness: If you always try to help everyone with everything they do 24/7 (even if your help is unwanted), you become [[StopHelpingMe a nuisance]].
* Laughter: If you constantly try to get people to have fun, they'll eventually get bored and your efforts will just come off as annoying and selfish (In other words, this is what Pinkie feared had happened in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne Party of One]]).
* Generosity: If you give away too many things too freely, you'll end up causing waste and spoiling people. Also, you might be compelled to give away something that isn't yours to give.

[[WMG: There will eventually be villans who try to tap into the Elements of Harmony by using the corresponding virtues excessively, as detailed in the previous WMG.]]
And it'll work. Sort of. The first five elements will behave erratically and destructively from being wielded in that fashion, and since their powers aren't being used to foster friendship, the element of magic will refuse to function.


[[WMG: There will be another episode set during winter, or at least featuring snow.]]
[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKM_Tj5VuEU A Hasbro Entertainment and Licensing video]] features a one-second clip of Fluttershy running through snowy Ponyville while flapping her wings, and Hasbro's ''[[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/ Card Creator]]'' game features [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharW_TS_01.swf images]] [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharW_RD.swf of]] [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharW_RA.swf the]] [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharW_FS.swf ponies]] [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharW_AJ.swf wearing]] [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharW_PP.swf winter]] [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharW_DH_definitely_canon.swf outfits]] that they haven't yet worn in the show.

[[folder:Other]]

[[WMG: Should they make a Second Season for the series...]]
* 24/03/2011 - Greenlit for another series of [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/26-episodes-clarification-from-daniel.html 26]] episodes ^^
* There will be at least one episode centering around a male pony/ponies. While some ponies will resist and one (maybe Rarity) will dress up for him, but the ponies learn he's a person, too. The aesop will of course be that "boys and girls can be friends."
** If there is a "stallions and colts are ponies too" episode, it would more likely be centered around the school-age foals like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as children are the ones that more often tend to be sexist. Considering they're the only colts in the series, if they do have such an episode, it would probably be one to shed some sympathetic light on Snips and Snails. When the events of the episode lead to their humiliation, it seems like no one really cares all that much; I mean, they're just the comic relief guys. But when along comes the DidYouThinkICantFeel scene...
* Trixie will join the crew as the SixthRanger.
** Many fans like Trixie because of her [[ThirdPersonPerson various]] [[SmugSuper bad]] [[AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter attributes]]. Remove them and she's no longer the Trixie we know and like. Keep them and other fans will complain why the Mane Cast is hanging around with somepony [[TheScrappy who's always insulting them]].
* Alternately, Derpy Hooves. In case she becomes popular enough to Hasbro consider making a toy based on her. Well, why not? It's not like Trixie doesn't have followers or that can't be made appealing for the target audience. And Derpy is...Derpy -- [[EnsembleDarkhorse everybrony's favorite pony]].
** The problem with adding another pegasus would be that they would have to add another unicorn and another Earth pony as well. If there were more of one than the others, it might be construed as favoritism and pegasus popularity would rise, resulting in fewer sales of unicorn or Earth pony toys. Remember Hasbro's motto: To sell toys.
*** [[{{OTP}} Lyra and Bonbon.]]
* Why is no one thinking of Zecora?
** Then she will become a RecurringCharacter that The Ponies will use for help when they encounter something [[HollywoodVoodoo voodoo]], or She'll become a SixthRanger of some shorts.
*** Confirmed true: as of the 10th episode of the second season, Zecora has been in 3 of them basically for her voodoo that she does so well (the tale of Nightmare Night, the inspiration and solution for Applebloom's Cutie Pox, and as for why Spike was growing out of control).
* As another alternative they will add a male SixthRanger ([[FanNickname Doctor Whooves]] FTW!) in an attempt to cash in even further on the male audience.
** Keep in mind that Hasbro started releasing repaints before they've even released molded versions of some of the ''main cast''. I rather doubt Hasbro is paying any attention to anything at all.
* What about Princess Luna as the SixthRanger? Think about it. Luna has been in the moon for 1000 years. Whether she was awake/percieved it as a full millenium doesn't matter if you realize that any friends she had before imprisonment are probably dead/gone. Secondly, there would be great potential for her development as a character; I'd expect a lot of TheAtoner, guilt, etc. Thirdly, there would be potential for character dynamics; it wouldn't be a stretch at all to have one or more ponies still unsure about her, still wary. And fourth... Hasbro could make another *** toy if they wanted to.
* It will feature longer story arches the way Lauren Faust wanted the show to be rather than episodic.
* It will add more of the "sailor moon" vibe the pilot provided (which was apparently quashed by ExecutiveMeddling), though the majority of the episodes will probably still be the slice of life sort.
** Highly likely, since WordOfGod says that season 2 will be introducing villains. (Woo hoo!)
* There will be an episode where Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy [[PersonalitySwap switch personalities]], [[HilarityEnsues just for hilarity and]] [[TalkingToHimself the fact they're voiced by the same person]].
** Why not Rainbow Dash and Applejack? They share a voice actor too.
*** Never said that couldn't happen either.

[[WMG: Lauren Faust will include some reference to the '4chan Pony Wars'.]]
We know that she at least is aware of the shows popularity on 4chan, and considering how wracked the fandom is with the site putting the fan community there into a strangle hold, she's probably going to hear about it at some point. Considering the nods already given to the [[FanCommunityNickname bronies]], I wouldn't doubt one bit that she'd give a little nod at some point as to the plight of the fan community. Perhaps a little dialogue quip or something.

[[WMG: Season 2 will introduce more Elemental groupings.]]
For example: The Elements of Justice (Intelligence, Patience, Diligence)

[[WMG: Season two will involve a search for the "Seventh Element".]]
The seventh being "Courage" which is possessed by Spike, however since his young body is too fragile to handle such a power using it will involve a temporary PlotRelevantAgeUp until he learns how to control it.

[[WMG: Season 2 will prove to be a [[BrokenBase base breaker]] due to ExecutiveMeddling.]]
We know that Lauren has reduced her involvement with the show in the second season; she says she has full confidence in the crew working on it, but she would sort of have to say that wouldn't she. I'm worried that the show may start to move away from Lauren's brand of storytelling back toward the sort of stereotypical "girlie" stuff that Lauren was trying to get away from in the first place. This will divide the base as many old-school bronies don't like it, but the target audience doesn't care as much.

(I'm very hopeful that the act of making this prediction will make the universe strive to prove me wrong.)
* The "Equestria Girls" song proves that Hasbro (or at least the Hub) knows about [[PeripheryDemographic the bronies]], so hopefully they will continue to make it appeal to them. I almost feel that they will try too hard and fail that way.
** But that promo was put together by the Hub, not necessarily by the people actually making the show itself. You can't tell anything about what the show's staff will do from that.
*** Yes, but so far the people who make the show have earned our trust. The promo suggests that ExecutiveMeddling probably won't make the show take a turn for the worse.
* The show's awesomeness is not all down to Lauren. Daniel Ingram, the animators, the writers, even the voice actresses, they all play a part in making the show what it is. And despite what Hasbro might think, little girls aren't idiots. If the show changes for the worst, they'll get as upset as the older fans, they just won't complain on the internet.
* Actually, a clarification that Lauren posted suggested that one of the reasons she's not so involved is that the things she needed to contribute to Season 2, such as basic episode ideas, were pretty much done. So her ideas will be implemented, hopefully, and there's the rest of the very talented staff remaining. This troper is optimistic about season 2.
* The Hub tends to really go with shows that take advantage of the PeripheryDemographic. I don't think they'll want to risk messing with one of the shows they've got that does that the best.
** It has been established that Hasbro don't get involved further than ''very'' specific an little things, like the "princess" thing.

[[WMG: No matter how hard they may try, Studio B won't be able to give everypony from Season 1 a return appearance.]]
This will lead to the bronies deciding that the missing character has had an untimely demise between seasons, [[TheFabFour complete with reading "clues" from the series]] that supposedly support the [[UrbanLegends "facts"]] that they will be creating, themselves.
* Exactly how an animated character can get killed instead of merely PutOnABus will be a main point of the debunkers.
* If this guess is correct, expect a Snopes entry before the last episode of Season 2 is aired on the Hub network.

[[WMG: Season 2 will be slightly darker than season 1.]]
By which I mean, there will be slightly darker storylines and elements. For the most part, the show will retain it's lightheartedness. But there will be storylines where the entire fate of Equestria is at stake, and there will be threatening villains. There might even be a sadder episode or two, like Granny Smith dying. This is because Hasbro not only acknowledges the older fanbase, but EMBRACES it. (Crowning Company of Awesome, much?) Hasbro even stated that they won't take down fan-made [=FiM=] videos, even the less child-friendly ones, because they promote the show. Since the older internet fans not only watch the show, but heavily promote it through pictures, forums, memes, and videos, Hasbro and the studio will do a little more to appeal to them while still keeping the aspects of the show that made it so awesome and appealing.

[[WMG: The first episode's {{Foreshadowing}} will be revealed to have another meaning.]]
As almost everyone knows, Nightmare Moon was shown in the hourglass in the first episode when it was distorting a statue. If you think about it, they actually could have place Foreshadowing elsewhere... Unless Nightmare Moon was ''watching'' Twilight, and has plans for her, [[DemonicPossession plans that involve using her incredible powers as her own]].

[[WMG: CerebusSyndrome will ensue.]]

[[WMG: Someone will be KilledOffForReal.]]
* Celestia, with Luna taking control of the sun as well as the moon. Twilight instead keeps her "friendship reports" in a diary of some sort, maybe a CaptainsLog.
* Granny Smith. Not necessarily killed, but maybe passing on in her sleep, leading to some [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming bonding between Applejack and Pinkie]], the latter of whom will have had experienced the loss of Granny Pie when she was Apple Bloom's age.
* A villian who is [[CompleteMonster utterly evil and despicable,]] and somehow immune to the Elements of Harmony.

[[WMG: Season 2 will include more [[ShoutOut references]] to the various fan works.]]
* [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] finally having his proper accent and running around with Derpy, Colgate, or Rose.
* Spike wearing [[ScottPilgrim Scott's jacket.]]
* A party featuring a [[WeirdAl Pony Polka.]]
* Pinkie acting odder than usual with her friends mistaking her for a killer.
* Big Macintosh shown as being rather popular with the Fillies.
** [[{{Squick}} I think you mean the]] ''mares.''
*** Perhaps the OP was subtly referencing [[SweetAppleMassacre a certain other fic]] [[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed which shall not be named]]...?
*** Remember that in reality, adult women may also sometimes be called "girls", especially in such contexts. It may be politically incorrect and degrading, but it happens.
* Apple Bloom developing a crush on Spike.
* And much more!

[[WMG: None of the villains from previous incarnations will appear.]]
Keep in mind, the only G1 copyrights Hasbro could retain were on Spike and Applejack. This probably extends to the villains and minor characters, too. However, we could easily get a LawyerFriendlyCameo or an Expy of a villain or 2.

[[WMG: "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed Luna Eclipsed]]" includes at least one costume [[{{Foreshadowing}} based on a character from a later episode]].]]
Most likely a monster and/or villain.
* Spike's could count.

[[WMG: "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]" set up a change in format for future episodes.]]
Celestia condition to forget Twilight's punishment was that the rest of mane cast be involved in making friendship report when and only when they discover them. This could lead to the following in future episodes:
* Because the rest of mane cast can send friendship reports now, there will be episodes where Twilight will be absent, possibly focusing solely on one of the characters, and if they find something to report, they can now do it themselves.
** This is confirmed to be correct, but it still remains if the second part is also true.
* Not every episode will have an aesop. Some will just be for fun.

[[WMG: The group friendship reports at the end of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]" will be a parallel to the Grand Galloping Gala from Season 1.]]
The Grand Galloping Gala (referred to further in this WMG as "GGG" for short) in Season 1 served as a psuedo-StoryArc as a sort of compromise between Faust and Hasbro. There were three episodes in this arc, a beginning, middle, and end. The beginning was the third episode. Season 2 will have the group friendship reports in the same manner. "Lesson Zero", the third episode of the season, is the beginning. At the season's midpoint, there will be a story where the plot focuses on the group friendship reports... somehow, I'm not quite sure. The season finale will be the end as well. I'm not sure how a plot could actually be derived from the reports, perhaps it'll be based on some other aspect of "Lesson Zero", or maybe it'll involve some of the new villains.

[[WMG: Season 3 will finally have an overarching plotline.]]
Reportedly, Season 3 will have only 13 episodes, compared to the first two seasons having 26 each. True, a coherent story can be hard to get out on a tight schedule, but with only half as many episodes, it would also have the plus of not having to be stretched out as far.

[[WMG: There are only (currently) 13 episodes for Season 3 so the FIM team can make a movie/30th anniversary special.]]
2012 is the 30 year anniversary of the ''MyLittlePony'' franchise, so they might take some time off from the show to do something to celebrate like a movie.

[[WMG: Season 3 will end with a SeriesFauxnale.]]

[[WMG: Season 3 will be the SeriesFinale.]]

[[WMG: The show will end with a BigDamnMovie.]]
* Whether the show ends after the third or fourth season or lasts even longer, it's possible it could end with a BigDamnMovie. The past MyLittlePony franchises have all had movies, furthermore, it seems a show like this would go out with a bang. It may not end up in theaters but it could be on TV. It would involve the Mane Cast fighting an evil that threatens to destroy not only Equestria, but the whole world.

[[WMG:By the end of S2 everyone of the mane six with have had an at-least 70% sanity slippage. ]]

[[WMG: The show will end with a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent.]]
In which every single pony in existence is turned into an Alicorn.

[[WMG: At least one member of the mane cast will get a LoveInterest.]]
And the fandom will ''hate'' him, subjecting him to DieForOurShip and RonTheDeathEater within hours of the first episode he appears in airing. That or they will subject the member of the mane cast he is a LoveInterest for to DieForOurShip and RonTheDeathEater, and pair him off with some other character.
* RD will get a male LoveInterest. What happens next is better left to everyone's imagination...

[[WMG: Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo's name will get an [[TheUnreveal Unreveal]].]]
Like the first word of it being shown to be "D███y" (with the middle three letters being blocked or obscured by something else).

[[WMG: Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo will make an apperence in every episode of season 2]]
She was in almost every episode in season 1, but now the animators will make it a point to have her appear in every episode of season 2.
Evidence for this is her appearance in "May the Best Pet Win!" She is the only background pony in the entire episode, and she's visible for only a few seconds. This is just the animators hiding her so they can say she officially appeared in every episode.

[[WMG: Twilight will not write a sngle friendship report untill the season final]]
Last season the 3rd ep connected to the final why not this season?
* IIRC, Twilight has written reports even after ep 3. I think
* Twilight as written only one Friendship Report since Episode 3, that was in Luna Eclipsed. Other than that every letter has been from somebody else (somebody because Spike writes one). We've also started seeing episodes without any Friendship reports.

[[WMG: Mare do well is only the tip of the iceberg.]]
There will be more hero [[{{Expy}} expies]] later on. Including [[PowerRangers a ranger team]], [[IndianaJones an adventure archeaologist]], and [[TheATeam a crack team of royal guards on the run for a crime they didn't commit]].
* And they'll form a JusticeLeague.

[[WMG: Each of the Mane Cast's Gala fantasy will come true this season.]]
In "Sweet And Elite", three of theirs already did (see below). At some point, the other three will have theirs come true, and possibly the other two whose weren't the episode's focus will have episodes devoted to it.

* Rarity: She met a high society stallon who behaved like a true gentleman towards her. Sure, there's no implication of a LoveInterest with Fancypants, but he still treated her like a lady and truly liked her for who she really was.
* Fluttershy: She made friends with some of the animals in Canterlot garden. If revisited, perhaps a future episode will involve her making friends with them (perhaps they get sick and Celestia calls her in to act as vet, knowing how much she wanted to befriend them before?)
* Pinkie Pie: She got to enjoy a big party in Canterlot and have a great time. Hers got more focus, seeing as she threw a big party for Twilight's birthday in Canterlot's ballroom, so a second episode might not be needed exploring this.
* Rainbow Dash: At some point, she'll get to hang out with the Wonderbolts for real, perhaps even get the chance to perform with them once (not ''join'' probably, but actually take part).
* Applejack: She make money for her farm and family somehow, though she did destroy the old barn so a new one could be built in it's place, so hers may have already come true too.
* Twilight: She'll get the chance to spend time with Celestia for real. Perhaps Celestia decides to take the day off and spends it with her for real.

[[WMG: Spike and Rarity will eventually become an OfficialCouple.]]
Due to the recent developments it seems to be leading up to this. [[StatusQuoIsGod BUT]], there is a rather evident age difference and I doubt it will be openly allowed.
* There could be a case of JailBaitWait, on Rarity's part.

[[WMG: The display of ThePowerOfFriendship to defeat the Windigos is {{Foreshadowing}}.]]
It shows it's possible to utilize a CircleOfFriendship attack of DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu strength ''without'' having the Elements Of Harmony, at least not the ''physical'' elements. A future villain will somehow steal the Elements again, but ultimately be beaten by the Mane Cast using the Rainbow Of Light ''without'' the physical elements.

[[WMG: Discord's origins will be revealed.]]
And it will turn out he was originally a being with little power at all, until a source gave him Reality Warping abilities [[FromNobodyToNightmare turning him into who he is today]].
* This troper came up with the idea that Discord was created by a combination of the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E11HearthsWarmingEve Windigos]], beginning to starve from the new-found Harmony between Pony-kind, and whatever it was that made Nightmare Moon.

[[WMG:The Fire of Friendship will serve many roles later in the series]]
* The beacon will be transported in a torch and later re-lit as the full beacon in the Equestrian version of the Olympics.
* The beacon will be a source of power for the six when the Elements of Harmony fail them somehow.

[[WMG:Guesses about [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/tour-of-hasbro-italy-and-ominous.html the supposed episodes 27 & 28 of the second season and the mysterious "*o** *r** **i* c***a***r*"]]]]
It should be noted that someone figured out 2 words in "*o** *r** **i* c***a***r*" prior to [[http://mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=3634303.html#3634303 this post]], meaning that the answer includes two of the words guessed before that point.
* Maybe the two episodes are actually episodes 1 & 2 of the third season, produced early like "The Return of Harmony" 2-parter was.
* [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/tour-of-hasbro-italy-and-ominous.html?showComment=1325435984768#c4392322465527795162 More]] [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/tour-of-hasbro-italy-and-ominous.html?showComment=1325436945502#c7011227125271926382 information]]: "There is an answer with a great intuition about the real meaning of it, but no one has answeered it correctly yet." And it's definitely referring to the end of season 2, even though Italy splits the episodes into TwoShorts.
* [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/tour-of-hasbro-italy-and-ominous.html?showComment=1325718753567#c7754314625679021980 Update]]: It's not a 3-parter, just the ending of the second season. "And still, no correct answers. Try to think out of YOUR box."
