Plot Bunny Theater: Stupid Earth Pony Tricks 1

I've liked the idea that Earth Ponies are the longest lived of the Tribes thanks to their connection to the Earth. After all, Granny Smith is easily two hundred years old if she was at the founding of Ponyville. They can stay in their prime longer than most other ponies, but eventually it just takes too much effort to keep up and they physically become aged. Certain healer Earth ponies can transfer boosts of Earth magic into older ponies as therapy to help them, but this has diminishing returns as well.

So I like to imagine the hijinks that might ensue if Granny Smith and Twilight figured out a way to boost Earth Pony magic (after Twilight ascends) and Granny could really become physically younger again. At least for a short time.

-Granny getting hit on by stallions far, far younger than her... And worse, Granny flirting back.

-Granny trying to correct her grandchildren on everything from apple bucking to shopping and becoming a bit more overbearing due to youthful hormones.

-Granny meddling in all sorts of other affairs.

And failing miserably, because hooves aren't too good at that sort of thing.

Granny Smith: Ah, you young un's always acting like you invented sex, we knew a few things back in my day as well. Of course I did actually invent sex, before that foals were made via mirrors.

Shepherd: How many generations old are you?

I think I've seen fanart of things like this. Some of it made me want to rip my eyes out.

Heck in one round-robin thing I've taken part in ('Ponies and Dragons') at one point Flim and Flam accidentally discover how to turn ponies into dragons. Who did they test it on? Granny and her golden oldie friends. They then tried to seduce Garble. It got strange after that.

...and Applejack's reaction to that. Oh boy
