    Oh, I get it! This chapter represents the power of imagination! It's whatever we want it to be! Is imagination like the 7th element of harmony or something?

    Wait, no. That's just me being stupid. Yeah, I think we've got a few words missing here. :twilightblush:

    Canterlot!

    Canterlot...

    It's only a model...

    Quiet!

    Come, knights. Let us RIDE, to, CANTERLOT!

    We're Knights of the Round Table,

    We prance when ere we're able,

    We do routines and chorus scenes

    With hoofwork impeccable.

    We dine well here in Canterlot,

    We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.

    We're Knights of the Round Table,

    Our shows, they are, formidable,

    But many times, we're given rhymes

    That are quite unsingable.

    We're Opera mad in Canterlot,

    We sing from the diaphragm

    a looooooot.

    In war we're tough and able,

    Quite indefatigable,

    Between our quests we wear sequin vests,

    And impersonate Clark Stable.

    It's a busy life in Canterlot,

    I have to pull the pram a lot.

    You know what? On second thought, it is a silly place...

    FInally!! FINALLY! A whole new reason for me to re-read 'Progress' again! And again! And maybe one more time! And then once more! And... Well, you get the idea...

    It's the most awesome story containing Luna EVER.

    To everypony: If you still haven't read it, READ IT IMMEDIATELY.

    To Mr. Talon: Thank you for being awesome again, and... Wait... Where is Luna-Do-Well, eh? Don't say you won't continue Luna VS Vigilantism... I won't be able to bear it...

    I think what happened is that she calculated the time it would take for every kernel to pop, rather than the amount of time to pop as many kernels as possible without burning any.

    Probably one of the most. Beautifully designed scenes I've read in a short peice. The fact you added a lovecraft poem to it takes it from a wonderful moment of dusting away her past mistakes and regrets. For a new and better tomorrow, and turns it into an infinitely, deep, and mystical event.

    Well done, well frigging done !
