Episode 23: "Cheese Pie"
…
Cheese Sandwich knew what his purpose in life was and had known it for a long time. He was to bring laughter everywhere he went in Equestria. His amusement factory had raked in the profits that gave him the freedom to travel the world, and Cheese had achieved purpose in his life. However, there was something on his mind that he was unable to get rid of. It was something that had been nagging at him ever since becoming inspired to be a party pony.
"Excuse me, sir?" Sans Smirk called as he peeked into his boss' office. "The workers were wondering if you are…" But right away, Sans noticed that his boss was looking at a picture on his desk, and it wasn't just any picture. "You must be looking at that picture of the princess of laughter again, aren't you?"
"Oh, uh, sorry Sans," Cheese stammered, turning his attention to his vice-president. "I was just having one of my... moments. You know how it is. Right, Boneless 2?"
Cheese's rubber chicken with the number 2 painted on its chest sat in the corner, motionless.
"Uh huh," Sans Smirk nodded. "As I was saying, the workers were all wondering when you wanted the latest Ponyville shipment to be completed by."
"Sometime over the next two days will work," Cheese instructed in reply. "I want things to be perfect for my latest visit to Ponyville. And I need to know the factory will keep running smoothly in my absence."
"Sir, forgive me for asking but, out of all the places in Equestria you seem to have a particular fondness for Ponyville," Sans pointed out. "Do you think it could be related to the Princess of Laughter, Miss Pinkamina Pie?"
Heeding Sans' remark, Cheese looked at a picture of himself and Pinkie Pie at Twilight's coronation, having the time of their lives on the dance floor at the Castle of Friendship. Had it really been that long already since they'd last seen each other?
"Yeah, it is," Cheese replied with something of a dreamy sigh. "Listen, Sans, I don't know what's been going on with me, but lately I've been having these strange… feelings for Pinkie Pie. It may sound silly but…"
"But what, sir?" Sans asked. "Do you think that you might be harboring romantic feelings for her? Because it sounds like you are."
His eyes widening, Cheese placed a hoof to his mouth in an effort to keep himself from getting sick! "W-why would you think that, Sans?!" He remarked in an uncharacteristically harsh tone of voice, swallowing his feelings. "Pinkie and I…it's not, we're not going to have a future together. It will never happen now that she's a princess."
"I think I might have to disagree with you on that, sir," Sans pointed out as he adjusted his glasses. "I know I sense feelings when I sense them. And if I can notice it then you know others can too.. You and the Princess of Laughter might just have a future together in spite of your differing career paths. Why, I can just picture the wedding…"
"Please, Sans!" Cheese pleaded and then interrupted. "You're going to make me sick again! And we don't want that!"
Sans wasn't fooled for a second. "You look fine to me, sir. If anything, you may be sick with love."
Swallowing his anxiety again, Cheese got up and walked over to Boneless 2, picking up the rubber chicken and bringing him back over to his desk.
"Sir, if you have any feelings for the Princess of Laughter, you must air them out," Sans encouraged. "Perhaps your upcoming trip to Ponyville would be a good time to determine if she feels the same way. One way or another you'll feel much better once you know."
Taking another deep sigh, Cheese couldn't help but attempt to not absorb the suggestion his second-in-command was making. Little did he realize that this wasn't going to be any ordinary business trip to Ponyville (and not just because of the growing war against Grogar).
…
…
At Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie normally went about her usual morning routine, getting the store ready for business as well as bringing smiles throughout Equestria. However, she currently stood in her party planning cave, looking at the same picture of herself and Cheese Sandwich at the after party from Twilight's coronation at the Castle of Friendship. "Gummy," She asked her pet baby alligator, while still looking at the picture. "I just can't seem to picture it. Lately, I've been having these strange feelings…"
All the toothless alligator could do was stare at his mistress, chomping his toothless mouth.
"That Cheese and I…no, no it can't be," Pinkie remarked, putting the picture back down on the cabinet. "How do you think that I, the princess of laughter, could have any future with a guy like him? He's too busy with his gag factory and I'm too busy with princess duties. Sure, we both like to spread laughter, but that can't be rough to start a relationship. These feelings…I just can't get them out of my mind."
Almost on cue, several strands of gold confetti popped out of her mane. "Gold confetti? Humph, never had gold confetti pop out of me before," Inspecting the gold confetti on the floor, Pinkie picked it up and brought it close to her face. "Why do you think I'm getting gold confetti, Gummy?"
The toothless alligator said nothing, much to Pinkie's annoyance "Some help you are, Gummy!" She cried and emerged from the party planner cave just as Mrs. Cake came into the kitchen with Pumpkin Cake on her back.
"Good morning, Pinkie Pie," Mrs. Cake smiled. "Is everything set for the store to open?"
"Yessiree bob, Mrs. Cake!" Pinkie excitedly replied, showing off her work to Mrs. Cake while trying to hide her feelings. "Cupcakes are baked, cakes are baked, pastries are baked and everything but the kitchen sink is ready to go!"
"Mmm-hmm," Mrs. Cake nodded, before pondering. "Pinkie, I can't help but notice something…"
"Don't tell me that you're guessing too! Is it really that obvious?" She groaned, placing a hoof to her face. "About me and…"
"Pinkie, it's perfectly natural to have feelings for somepony. You're in the prime of your youth, and love knows no age or season," Mrs. Cake explained in a tender tone. "I think you and Cheese Sandwich would make a perfect couple if you ask me. I mean, if you want to start dating…"
"Sorry, Mrs. Cake," Pinkie Pie interrupted while hastily racing behind the counter. "But I think we have a store to open and look, here's our first customer!"
Turning around, Mrs. Cake looked to see that Luna was standing in the doorway waiting to come in. Clearing her throat, Mrs. Cake opened the door and allowed the young alicorn inside.
"Well hello, Luna," Pinkie laughed. "What a... nice surprise. What can I do for you this morning?"
"Just coming to pick up some tabasco flavored cupcakes for myself," Luna answered, a basket in her aura. "Celestia thought I needed to cut back on them, but…"
However, Luna stopped mid-sentence and was immediately troubled by the pained look on Pinkie's face. "-Oh, I'm sorry! Is something the matter, Pinkie Pie?!" The former princess inquired.
"'Something the matter'?" Pinkie blinked. "No, no there's nothing the matter! I don't know where you would get that idea, you certainly wouldn't get it from me."
But Luna was on to Pinkie's words, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. "Really, there's nothing the matter with me." The Princess of Laughter tried to insist.
"That's what you say, Pinkie Pie," Luna declared while slowly advancing towards the party pony. "But I can sense that you're hiding something whether you admit it or not. Something involving a certain pony like yourself at Twilight's coronation celebration."
"Cheese Sandwich?" Pinkie remarked before chuckling. "He's just a random party pony like me. We're just good friends."
This made Luna smile with earnest. "Oh, really?" Luna chuckled, putting the basket down. "I seem to recall you both had quite the fun at the celebration with all the games and frivolities you both provided. In fact, I took part in one, the one you called 'Pin The Tail on the Donkey'."
Using her magic, Luna transported herself and Pinkie into a time warp and soon, they found themselves overlooking Twilight's coronation celebration at her castle. where they saw Luna wearing a blindfold and being turned around by Pinkie and Cheese.
"Round and round she goes! Where she stops, no one knows!" Both Cheese and Pinkie cried out as they stopped spinning Luna around and allowed her to attempt placing the mark on the donkey, who in this case was Cranky Doodle Donkey wearing his tuxedo from his own wedding.
"Come on, come on!" Cranky taunted Luna. "See if you can try and stick it on me…"
Watching with amusement, Luna couldn't help but chuckle at her own attempts to stick the tail on Cranky. She could also see Pinkie and Cheese looking at each other with romantic expressions on their faces as Luna placed the tail not on Cranky, but on Granny Smith's flank.
"Here now, what's this?" Granny Smith laughed, much to the delight of all in attendance. Even Luna couldn't help but feel amused at her own failure. Transporting herself and Pinkie back to the present, she had every reason to believe that there was no denying the truth on Pinkie's end.
"I don't think that Granny Smith was meant to have another tail," Pinkie defensively remarked. "May she rest with the angels now."
"It wasn't about my ineptitude, Pinkie Pie," Luna pointed. "But that is beside the point. I think you and the pony called Cheese Sandwich have feelings for one another. And pretty soon…he's going to pick up on them. What happens next is up to both of you to decide."
Saying nothing, Pinkie prepared the basket of Luna's favorite cupcakes while Luna watched.
…
Meanwhile, Cheese was aboard the Friendship Express with his factory's latest shipment of amusement products. During the whole ride over to Ponyville, he continued to think about Pinkie Pie. "Sans, if you think I have feelings for Pinkie," He asked while nervously placing his hooves together. "Then how should I…?"
"Sir, just be yourself," Sans suggested, reaching into a box next to him and pulling out a jack in the box, turning the handle as a clown in Cheese's likeliness emerged. "Remember, the princess of laughter is the one who got your laugh back after all. And the one who inspired you so. It sounds like you owe a lot to her."
"You're right, I do. But what if things become a little…weird? Or a lot weird?" Cheese pondered.
"Why wouldn't they? Everything you've ever done is considered weird," Sans pointed out. "It's in your nature as well as the princess'."
"To me though she isn't a princess, or at least not of that fully baloney kind. She's so much more." Cheese protested, placing the jack in the box back in its box with the rest of the shipment.
However, Sans Smirk thought otherwise. "Sir, perhaps when we arrive in Ponyville," He propose. "I suggest that we stop by a jewelry shop and…"
Sans' suggestion made Cheese jump into the air with a yelp, his eyes widening in shock! "Jewelry shop?!" He yelled, causing everypony else on the train to glare awkwardly at Cheese. "Why are you recommending…?"
Sans cleared his throat and began. "Sir, I think that…"
"Let's think about this for a tick tock second," Cheese whispered, placing a hoof on Sans' mouth. "I mean, me and jewelry, it's not a match made in Equestria. Ask Boneless 2, he'll agree with me." Sans turned to the inanimate rubber chicken sitting next to Cheese.
"If the chicken was alive, he would probably say the same thing as me, sir," Sans pointed out. "It was just a suggestion. And I think you should act on it sooner rather than later."
But just then the train pulled into the station in Ponyville as Cheese and Sans got off while the train porters worked on getting their shipments on the platform. "Sooner or later, he must face the truth." Sans said under his breath as he and Cheese oversaw the shipment's unloading.
…
…
Returning to the Castle of Friendship with her batch of cupcakes, Luna began to think of a plan to get Pinkie Pie and Cheese to confess their budding love for one another. The former princess realized that if she was going to get them to open up, she would need help. After all, love wasn't her speciality.
"Ah, Luna," Celestia greeted as she came down the stairs. "There you are. I was just about to head over to Canterlot to visit with Twilight and Cadence."
"What's Cadence doing in Canterlot?" Luna asked, putting the basket of cupcakes down at her hooves.
"Just visiting," Celestia answered. "Although it's more along the lines of looking out for Twilight's mental health like the rest of us."
"I see," Luna nodded before asking. "Um, Celestia, have you noticed anything strange about Pinkie Pie lately?"
"What do you mean, sister?" Celestia inquired.
Luna explained. "I mean, do you remember that other party pony who was at Twilight's coronation celebration here?"
It took a moment for Celestia to think of what Luna was trying to say, but eventually she remembered. "Was that the pony with the cheese sandwich in the shape of an accordion for a cutie mark?" Celestia remarked. "Curly brown mane and tail, had a rubber…" Suddenly, Celestia developed a scared look on her face and teleported away, much to Luna's annoyance.
Sensing where Celestia had gone to, she made her way upstairs and into her sister's room, finding her hiding under the bed with her long horn sticking out. "…chicken?" Celestia whimpered. "I mean, I know it's not a real chicken but still… it creeps me out."
"Yes, and I do remember having to tell him that you have a fear of chickens," Luna nodded in agreement. "A rather pointless fear if you ask me, but that is besides the point."
Celestia blushed and whined. "Luna!"
"All right, all right, if it bothers you so much…" Luna reassured her sister as she decided not to pursue the argument.
Relieved to hear this, Celestia teleported herself out from under the bed.
"Look, the fact is sister, I think that Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich love one another but are afraid to show it for whatever reason." Luna confessed.
"Well, that's lovely but what does that have to do with us, Luna? Love is Cadence's area of expertise, not ours." Celestia pointed out.
"Well, I think that since Cadence is in Canterlot, we could try to get Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich to…" Gesturing Celestia to lend an ear, Luna whispered her plan to her older sister.
"Are you sure about that?" Celestia wondered as the plan was whispered to her, her right eyebrow lifting up in suspicion. "What if…?"
"It's the only way, Celestia," Luna firmly protested. "Cadence is the princess of love after all and only she can…"
Before Luna could finish her sentence, Celestia walked past her, shocked that she could hear such a suggestion. "But Celestia, it's the perfect plan!" Luna cried as she left the elder alicorn's bedroom and went back down the stairs. "I mean, really it is! Cadence can just cast a spell and…"
"I seem to recall some of your 'students' trying it out on Big Macintosh and Cheerilee a long time ago," Celestia sternly interrupted, turning around to face Luna at the top of the stairs. "And that backfired for them quite spectacularly. They wrote me a letter explaining as much after the fact."
Luna realized that Celestia was referring to the time the Cutie Mark Crusaders had used an ancient love poison recipe on Applejack's older brother and on their teacher.
"Okay, so maybe having Cadence cast a spell isn't the answer. But I can adjust the plan, Celestia," Luna nervously chuckled. "There won't be any love potions at all. And I still have a plan to get them to open up. Now listen…"
…
Meanwhile, Cheese Sandwich and Sans Smirk carried their shipment into Ponyville as they neared a small jewelry store.
"Sans, I don't think we should be doing this," Cheese suggested with a nervous look on his face. "I mean, Pinkie and I don't really…"
"Sir, forgive me for being blunt," Sans sighed while turning around to face Cheese. "But you first met the Princess of Laughter as a colt and it was her that got you into the business you're in now, yes?"
Cheese said nothing as Sans pushed him into the jewelry story, much to the owner's confusion. "Um, can I help you?" She asked, raising a suspicious eyebrow. "If you need help, that is."
"He does need help, miss," Sans insisted while pushing Cheese up to the counter. "He's looking for something to give to the princess of laughter, something special. And I think you know what that is."
Smiling at what was probably going to be coming out of this visitation, the jeweler quickly made herself presentable to Cheese Sandwich. "Well," She laughed. "I probably can. So, what is it I can do for you, Mr… uh…?"
Nudging him in the side, Sans silently urged Cheese to talk to the salespony. "Oh, um," Cheese stammered, feeling the nudge that Sans was giving him. "Sandwich. Cheese Sandwich. And I was wondering if you could just give me something…simple for the princess of laughter."
Sans protested. "Sir, if I may…"
Wanting to get Sans off his back, Cheese acted fast and threw Boneless 2 into the streets. "Go get Boneless 2, quick!" Cheese ordered and just as Sans ran out to fetch his rubber chicken, Cheese slammed the door shut, much to the owner's confusion. "Ugh! Some ponies can be so pushy. I know he's doing what he thinks is best for me, but I can make my own decisions."
"Sir, what's going on here?" The owner asked in a confused tone. "Are you going to buy something or not?"
"My associate is trying to force me and the princess of laughter to be together because he thinks we're meant to be or something," Cheese explained. "It's strange. I mean, I like her a lot. But doesn't necessarily mean I'm ready to take it to the next step."
"Seems to me like he's forcing you into something you don't want to do," The jewler remarked. "You really should speak up. Love is not something you wanna rush into or force yourself into, because you'll just end up unhappy. But I think just showing your appreciation for the princess of laughter is good enough for someone like you. Let her know how much she means to you, even if you're not interested in a relationship just yet." She then reached into the glass jewel case and pulled out what appeared to be a necklace in the shape of Pinkie's cutie mark.
Cheese studied the necklace carefully and right away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of connection. To him, it seemed like the necklace spoke to him.
"In fact, this might be the one seller that's right up your alley," The jewler declared. "We had it custom made."
"I'll take it!" Cheese immediately declared as he coughed up bits to pay for the necklace, much to the jeweler's delight. Meanwhile, Sans forced the door open with Boneless 2 on his back. "I'm sure Pinkie won't mind if I give her something like this. Nopony in their right mind could resist something so dazzling, I'm sure of it!"
Realizing that his boss had finally turned a corner, Sans produced a small smile. "My plan is working even better than I hoped it would." He thought to himself.
…
Back at Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie was running the shop like normal when Mr. Cake came back towards the counter, reading off a note. "This just came for you, Pinkie Pie. It says here that Princess Twilight is holding a summit in Canterlot tomorrow." He declared, placing the note on the counter for Pinkie to read.
"That's funny," Pinkie remarked. "Twilight never told me anything about such a summit. Then again, emergency summits aren't out of the question," She read over the note more carefully. "It says here that there are two dozens cupcakes to be made. Must be a full house or something. Oh well. Time to get baking!"
Jumping into the kitchen, Pinkie produced two dozen cupcakes at lightning speed, much to Mr. Cake's amazement. "All set to go!" Pinkie declared, taking the boxes of cupcakes in her curly mane and heading out the door. "Be back in a bit, Mr. Cake!" Humming to herself, Pinkie left Sugarcube Corner as Mr. Cake was left alone with the note.
"Hmm, who could have written something like this?" Mr. Cake wondered as Cheese Sandwich and Sans Smirk trotted up to Sugarcube Corner.
Walking into the shop, Cheese approached Mrs. Cake who had taken over the counter after Pinkie had departed.
"Um, excuse me," Cheese cleared his throat, catching Mrs. Cake's attention. "Is uh, Pinkie Pie here by any chance?"
Mrs. Cake shook her head. "I'm afraid she just left to deliver an important order, Mr…"
"Oh uh, Cheese, Cheese Sandwich," Cheese Sandwich nervously greeted. "You remember me, right? I came here for the princess of loyalty's birthaversary party. Well actually, she wasn't the princess of loyalty back then."
"Oh yes, of course," Mrs. Cake realized and nodded. "You're that party pony with the rubber chicken that you gave to Pinkie," And then she instructed. "She just left for Canterlot a few minutes ago. If you hurry though, you might be able to catch up to her."
Cheese's eyes widened with shock! "What?!" And he raced away with his mysterious box in tow!
…
…
Hearing that Pinkie Pie was now heading for Canterlot Castle, Cheese Sandwich and Sans retreated back to Ponyville Train Station with their shipment in tow, this time heading for Canterlot.
"Sir, weren't we just here?" Sans remarked with confusion.
"Yeah, but now we've got to get to Canterlot!" Cheese declared and then instructed. "Get somepony to help us load our shipment into the train cars! Hurry!"
"If you say so." Sans acknowledged. He suspected the real reason was not for business purposes, but he didn't say it out loud.
With their supplies loaded up a short time later, Sans and Cheese got back on the Friendship Express that was now bound for Canterlot.
"It's a very nice necklace, sir," Sans remarked as Cheese showed him the necklace he'd bought. "Almost in the princesses' favor."
"It's basically her cutie mark, Sans," Cheese replied while closing the small jewelry box containing it. "I think there's no use beating about the bush here."
"I think I know what it is, sir." Sans smiled.
Cheese nodded that Sans was correct. "Sans…" He began while gulping slightly. "Forget what I said earlier. I think that Pinkie and I…are in fact destined to be together. The writing's on the wall. Could it be that we're to one day be married and…?" Stopping mid-sentence, Cheese now had to absorb the future possibility of him and Pinkie being together! It excited him and yet it also frightened him because it was unknown.
…
Meanwhile, Pinkie arrived in Canterlot Castle with the two dozen cupcakes that Twilight had ordered. "Oh Twilight," She cried out in a singsong voice as she entered the throne room where Twilight, Spike, Cadence and the ex-royal sisters were waiting for her. "I got the cupcakes you requested for the summit."
"What are you talking about, Pinkie?" Twilight asked with a look of confusion on her face. "I never ordered cupcakes, and I don't have any summits planned."
"Um, if you say so, Twilight," Pinkie replied. "But what do you want me to do with all these cupcakes then?"
"We can take them off your hooves," Spike suggested while flying over to the boxes. "It'd be a shame to let such deserts go to waste."
But Twilight was beginning to sense that something was up. Just then, the doors opened and in stepped Cheese Sandwich and Sans Smirk along with their shipments of amusement products.
"Pinkie Pie?" Cheese called out from behind the princess of laughter. Turning around, Pinkie was surprised to see her party pony equal standing behind her.
"Cheese Sandwich?" Pinkie remarked. "What are you doing here?! Shouldn't you be at your factory?"
"We were doing a business run to Ponyville," Cheese explained while looking awkwardly at her. "But, there's… something I wanted to give you first."
Approaching Pinkie slowly, Cheese took several deep breaths, realizing that there was no turning back now. "I…I got this for you in Ponyville," He declared, reaching into his front pocket and pulling out the small box containing the necklace. "It's…it's got your cutie mark on it and everything."
Taking the small box, Pinkie opened it up and saw the necklace did indeed display her cutie mark. Her eyes widened with surprise at being received with such a gift!
"Looks like my plan is working after all." Luna thought to herself.
"Cheese!" Pinkie gasped with a large smile on her face. "You really didn't have to do this. This is…this is… so nice of you! And so sweet too!"
Cheese said nothing but realized that his hidden love for Pinkie Pie had indeed been confirmed.
Leaping into the air, Pinkie threw herself onto Cheese with excitement! But she quickly composed herself, realizing that she was a princess after all and had to maintain some dignity.
"I'll take it that you like the necklace!" Cheese laughed as Pinkie helped him back up. Then he realized that there was still one more bit of business to take care of. "Actually, Pinkie, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you."
But Pinkie's eyes welled up with happy tears knowing just exactly what Cheese was trying to say to her. "That you love me?!" She cried. "Because I love you too!"
"Yeah," Cheese whispered. "I guess I do love you then. And I'm happy you feel the same way, Pinkie."
Walking hoof in hoof, Cheese and Pinkie walked out to the balcony leaving Sans and the others in the throne room.
…
"Well Luna," Celestia commented while looking over at her sister. "It looks like your plan worked after all."
"Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich have finally confessed their true love for one another," Luna smiled. "Seems like their connection during the coronation celebration was indeed true."
"So, what happens now?" Cadence pondered.
"You're the princess of love," Twilight replied. "You're the expert. What do you think, Cadence?"
"I think that they will eventually marry, their love is that strong," Cadence declared. "If everything goes according to plan, of course. And I'm predicting that their wedding will be the most unique Equestria has ever seen."
And the four alicorns and young dragon watched along with Sans Smirk as Pinkie and Cheese overlooked the city of Canterlot, hoof in hoof as they realized that there would indeed be a future together for the two best party planning ponies in all of Equestria!
"Well done, sir," Sans whispered with a smile on his face. "Very well done."

All in all, this is a pretty sweet Breather Episode concerning the "war arc" and everything (which is one of the reasons I was looking so forward to the episode). Anyway, the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up are all wonderfully done in all the right places. I really enjoyed Cheese and Pinkie reflecting on their feelings for each other as well as all the help they got from their friends. This one has been planned for most of the season, but was well worth the wait.
VERY definitely looking forward to the remaining episodes in this season as well as the next season.
A minor thought, I wonder if Luna got more chances in that "Pin the tail" game in that part there?
Anyway, I enjoyed how Luna helped Pinkie Pie and Cheese Pie get together like that with that plan there she came up with.
Cadance might be impressed by that.
Interesting on how Luna showed off that time-warp-based ability too. Guess I like it when either princesses show off some spells/abilities they have aside from raising the sun/moon(which they sadly gave up and especially Luna didn't get to enjoy raising the moon for much long, not really fair for her..). Wonder if she will develop feelings or a deep bond with someone eventually?
This is probably minor but.. it just bugs me in seeing the sisters being referred to as "former princesses" or "ex-royal sisters", that and them no longer having benefits other princesses(like now having to ride in the regular car instead of the royal one on trains) have due to retiring just adds salt to the wound about the retirement(Luna definitely getting the short end of the stick there). Just wanted to get that off of my chest.
About Celestia worrying about Cadance's magic, I feel like she needs to realize there's a huge difference between Cadance's love magic and that love POISON the CMC used. Its not dangerous as the trouble love poison causes, along with Cadance can easily undo the spell if something goes wrong.
Speaking of Celestia, wonder if we might find out why she is afraid of chickens?
I find it interesting with this episode touches on Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich with how The Last Problem suddenly told us about that and such.
That's all the thoughts I got for this chapter(at the moment I think).
Obligatory:
Considering the implication (though not confirmation) that AJ and RD got together in the epilogue of the show, I wonder if an episode with a similar premise involving them will be done in season 12 or beyond.
Nice. Though I was hoping they would kiss. Maybe at their wedding?

Recently I discovered another reason that Spike often gets left out(specifically with Mane 6 stuff) which I hope the projects would avoid using that reason too. Him choosing to not go(especially for dumb reasons).
I watched All Bottled Up and it hurts so much on how Spike was left out of the friendship retreat, but the fact the writers made him choose to not go because of his comics aggravated me to no end. It makes no freaking sense, why would he rather do something like that instead of being included with the girls(especially since he could just take the comics with him or just read them later)?
Its like the writers knew many fans hated how Spike got left out from the Mane 6's stuff but instead of addressing and resolving that, they made him just choose to not go even though it makes no sense. We clearly see it looks like he feels left out(like with that photo of the Mane 6 where he taped a part of a pic with him on it and putting it on there).
Its irritating on how Spike is essentially not allowed to have that same special bond the Mane 6 share due to not being an Element Bearer.
Okay, this has nothing to do with the chapter (it was great tho), but what if grogar has a way to split nightmare moon and luna and add Nightmare Moon, Daybreaker, Midnight Sparkle and whatever evil version there is of cadence to his army.
Episode 24. A Diamond Divided is coming tomorrow.
OH HELLL NOOOOOO
