Rainboom Thieves Fun Facts #2 Scrapped Ideas

Almost forgot to do this...

Fact #5: The arc known at 'The Trick' was originally two different arcs. The first was 'The Duo' in which I was going to have Sunset and Trixie meet a random pony and this pony would help them track down the Feather Blades. The arc would end in them finding out Octavia was the leader. Then I was going to do 'The Trick', where it was two stories happening at the same time. One would be Twilight and Scootaloo coming in and cheering her up. The other would be where I would reveal the random pony Trixie and Sunset met turned out to be Sombra. There was going to be this big scene inspired by 'The Flash' tv show on the CW. After that, I was going to write the next arc which was going to have Trixie and Sunset meet Twilight in her Dazzling Bubble disguise and the trio stop Sombra. This of course did not happen because I couldn't think of a way for them to meet Twilight. I eventually scrapped the idea and combined 'The Duo' and the Twilight/Scootaloo part into one. Thankfully, I instead went for the Nightmare Moon route in the next arc, which in turn is still probably my favorite arc in 'The Rainboom Thieves'. I don't think I've ever had more fun writing that arc than any other.
