What if Spectrum (Dash's brother) hadn't died in "Foal" ?

what if Applebloom never attempted to try and fix Scootaloo's scooter in um A broken bond

What if I wasn't there to save your ass on multiple occasions with my ridiculously awesome editing skills?

:rainbowwild:

What if Diamond Tiara somehow came back to life in Why Am I Crying?

1991718
If Spectrum didn't die in Foal (Assuming Rainbow Dash also survived), he would joined his big sister down on the ground in a desire to know more about it. He would have been the Fourth Crusader for the CMC, but have a rivalry with Scootaloo for Dash's love as a "sibling" and later on two would have had crushes on each other. Applejack and Rainbow Dash would get married and adopt children with no problems. Spectrum would have gotten his cutie mark in speed and joined RD in the Wonderbolts.


1991720
The Cutie Mark Crusaders would break up. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom would spend years friendless while Sweetie Belle, unable to take it, would find new friends in the forum of Dinky and Pipsqueak and start a new crusaders. Eventually, they would make up over time but would never be as close as they once were.

1991725
I'd find somebody else XP


1991730
She would change her attitude completely. Seeking forgiveness to everypony she ever hurt and stop acting like a bully. Eventually, she would earn her forgiveness and patch things up with her father. She would reveal to one of the CMC that she did go to the afterlife and saw her mother, but she was disappointing in her actions, making her promise that when she went back she would be a better pony and Diamond promised.

1991735
You better make that the ending motherfunker. :fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry:

Okay. let's swap things around!

What if Dash & AJ had switched roles in "Treating Her Right" ?(Dash is the one that wanted to be "treated right" and AJ finds out & asks her out)

I'm surprised nobody yet has asked, "What if Twilight was never assassinated?"

What if Twilight died after recivieng Night Lights heart in Night of Redemption?

1991742
:fluttershbad:
Why do you enjoying smashing my hearts to pieces?

Wait, am I actually feeling sympathy for her?

Damn thou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :raritycry:

JK. By the way, good job on making me have those feels for Diamond Tiara. Was never a big fan of her (thanks to her cuel bullying). That's why I enjoy stories when she and Silver Spoon redeem themselves. Know any good stories like that?

1991747
The only change would be the setting. They'd go to Manehatten where AJ uses her Aunt and Uncles connection to help Dash have a good date. But instead of seeing Bucky Cash they go to a Rave and have their picnic in Central Park before heading up to a hotel they rented for a night and have some "bow chicka bow wow".

1991748
Need a bit more specific with that question. Like never assassinated at all? Failed assassination? Or faked her death?

1991750
She would have been buried beside her father and Celestia, Luna, and the rest would forever feel guilt feeling they were responsible for this tragedy.

1991752 Hmm, well, I guess the first two, "Like never assassinated at all? Failed assassination?" are both very good questions themselves. I suppose I meant 'never assassinated at all' was what I meant, but 'failed assassination' is something I'm interested in knowing.

1991752
Bah, boring xD

Hmm... Not so much a "what if" regarding a story, but what if Granny Smith walked in on Aj & Dash's "first time" ? (Let's say it's in THR)

1991757
If she was never assassinated at all, Twilight's vision for Equestria would have come much earlier. All races would be free and have equal rights, class and status wouldn't determine what your standing is in society, your free to choose what career you want and not by what your cutie mark states, and finally she would, with the princesses permission, end the monarchy and establish a democracy.

If the assassination had failed: there would be a long purging of the nobility, but not in the forum of killing. All their status and assets would be taken from those the princesses declare corrupt (Which is a lot of them) which would result in a rebellion from the nobles leading to bloodshed. It would last for three years before the nobles surrendered and Twilight puts aside her vision for a generation to help heal equestria before continuing it. Blueblood would still be executed, but it would be a quick death like hanging.

1991761
"Well it's about time you two started getting it on! I want me some grandchilden before I keel over!"

"Uh, I'm a mare."

"Wait, really?"

1991770
Pfft... :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Best answer so far!

What if Dash died instead of Spectrum in foal.

Wait I got one more what if Button Mash had kept his game in Gift of The Mash

What if Starfall hadn't acted like such an evil piece of crap in Derpyball?

1991794
Spectrum would blame himself for his sister's death, but not his parents. His eventually runs away and stays at Fluttershy's place because his father is drinking himself and his mother just sits around in a void like state. Without Rainbow Dash, nightmare moon kills Twilight and her remianing friends who went with her, including Fluttershy, before ending Princess Celestia's life as well. She would rule Equestria while Spectrum and CMC forum a rebellion group. After many years of fighting, he, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Spike, Sweetie Belle, and an OC would call upon the elements of harmony and destroy nightmare moon forever. However, there is nopony left to raise the sun and moon so the elements turn Spectrum into an alicorn and make him the new leader of Equestria.

1991799
Button Mash would spend the entire year saving money for the tickets for him, Sweetie, his mom, and Rarity to go for next year's Hearths Warming Eve.
1991804
She and Derpy would go on to become best friends and legends in dodgeball, where Derpy was the most decorated and respected athlete in Equestria.

What if:

You told us exactly what happened to Lightning Dust after One More Shot.

1991826
Lightning Dust attends the acadamy and passes, making her a wonderbolt and making up with all those she had wronged.

What if R63?

How would that affect your characterizations in general? Also, I don't think you've written an R63 story.

1991842
Oh man, that's too much to change. And no I haven't but I've been saving my time for a good story to do one.

1991808
Damn, dude...:rainbowderp: (that's awesome)

Hmmm...what if Rainbow hadn't lost in Dash Wears Panties? Would AJ have had to do anything?
What if Dash died instead in Upon Wings?

1991926
If AJ lost, Rainbow would have dared her to go out on a date with Discord.

If Dash had died in Upon Wings, Applejack would fall into a state of depression and be a bit suicidal. She would get help and move on with her life, but never fall in love again. When she died she ask that her ashes be scattered like Rainbow's were

What if Cadence tried to defend Blueblood before his execution in The Assassination of Twilight Sparkle/Aftermath of a Fallen Star?

1991952
Nothing would change.

What if "The Assissnation of Twilight Sparkle" was all a nightmare that Celestia suffered from night after night? Would her paranoia make her unfit to rule?

1991981
No, if it was just a nightmare then it was just a nightmare.

Okay.

What If's?

What if, when Twilight's assassins were brought in to trial, had Shining Armor not restrained himself from cutting them down?

What if Night Light's heart hadn't been compatible for Twilight in "Night of Redemption"?

1992027 Well then, what if, after Twlight's assissnation, Celestia disappeared or resigned from the throne?

1992064

Shining Armor would have been able to kill at least three of the guilty before being stopped by the guard.

If Night Light's heart couldn't help, he would have spent every last moment with Twilight while she and him slowly fix the wounds between their family. After she died and was buried, Night Light would take his own life.

1992074
Luna would have been placed in charge and while she tries her best, it's not enough to make Twilight's dream become a full reality. The nobles would try to revolt, leading to a ten year purge of them, and Celestia wouldn't return till 300 years later where Luna would be angry at her for leaving her people like this, as well as Equestria itself would be angry at her. Celestia would be forced, and of her own free will, to resign her position before retreating again in solitude to live out another 400 years alone before death takes her

I have to say, her forms were certainly radical, though a couple things confuse me:
* "All races would be free and have equal rights," That seems to imply that some races were as much as enslaved -- like the cows or something?
*"finally she would, with the princesses permission, end the monarchy and establish a democracy" My problem with that is mainly how radical that is and how I'm not sure how easy I can imagine Twilight wanting to dismantle the monarchy she has respected and is a part of. I mean, after all, a monarchy and democracy aren't absolutely incompatible. It could've easily worked out as a constitutional monarchy like we have here in Britain or Jordan (which is a bit more of an executive monarchy), where the Princess' powers are limited by a constitution which transfers most power to the ponies and elective officials).

And, moving onto the second scenario, three years? Wow, I'd've thought that with her power, Celestia could've wiped them and their excuses for forces out with a mere flick of a horn. Though for a war to break out, it does suggest these utterly reviled aristocrats do have some significant support.

It does struck me though, the utter contempt for the nobility in mlp fanfiction. I mean, don't get me wrong; they were never meant to be most likable of guys in the show and history doesn't help, but surely there must be more than just a handful of nobles who want to emulate the Princess' examples.

Anyway, there's just one more little question, not really a 'what if', but maybe you could reply through PM: you mentioned in the Cheerilee chapter about a peace process going between Equestria and the Changeling Kingdom now that Chrysalis has been taken down offscreen. I'm Really interested in this, not just because I'm a changeling fan but also because it just sounds like a great subplot that could be explored, particularly with what exactly happened to Chrysalis and how this peace process has been affected by Twilight's involvement and her death. After all, the Changeling Kingdom is, or rather was, to Equestria what the Empire of Japan was to the USA in the twentieth century (though that's also because I base their culture on Japan in my fics, but that's a completely different matter)

1992093
You'll see in a future Chapter

What if Apple Bloom managed to see Diamond Tiara as the latter was being loaded into the ambulance in Why Am I Crying?

1992265
She would have ran to her family and told them what happened. She wouldn't make the wish that she get something bad to happen to her. When she learned she died, she starts wondering if she should feel sad about Diamond Tiara dying and asks Applejack what their relationship was before. She learns from AJ about Diamond Tiara's past and such and feels saddened that things were ruined between them because of what happened (Although she wouldn't know everything). In a sense, she would forgive Diamond Tiara for what happened, but wouldn't be in this guilt trip that she was going through righ tnow

What if in The "Death" of Button Mash, Button actually had and did sacrifice himself to keep the others safe?

1992282
I would have made it a focus on his funeral with all his friends, during the course of the service, remembering a fun or silly time they had of him before they say their final goodbyes when he is buried. A year later they all go, carrying joytoys, to the grave and play games there in his honor.

What if Scootaloo forgave Apple Bloom for breaking her scooter after the talk she had with her mother in chapter 3 of "A Broken Bond?"

1992578
It would just end there XP

What if, say, Silver Spoon died instead of Diamond Tiara? How (would) things be different?
