And Scootaloo flying... Didn't a lot of fans have the idea that she had some flight disability or something similar? I wonder if this'll make a few fan-fics obsolete...

yeah it'll be interesting, I think it was because scoot has smaller wings than normal :? maybe it'll be a generic *overcoming your disabilities* style episode :3 as for spike.......I have no ideas XD

Smaller wings? might I remind you of:

No hard feelings?

Anyhow, as the discussion was going, I think that although Wieners are voracious predators, the ponies of Equestria have long guarded their borders. They do fight off an army of Changelings in the season 2 finale for example. The magic of friendship is really about the power they can get from each other's qualities. The Elements of Harmony for example, are a Magic weapon which can only be wielded by the avatars of each aspect of friendship; Loyalty, Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter and Magic. With the Elements, the main cast have managed todefeat a chaos god, and the dark side of one of their rulers.

Also guys, this may be fake, it was up on My Little Brony, but I've seen it elsewhere. But if this is real, well, season 3's going to be exciting, isn't it...

Spike- Wings
Scootaloo- Flying

I call a fake on that one, ive seen a fair bit of photoshop in my years on theis flying rock that is not inhabited by neon colored equestrians and something in that picture makes it reek of photoshop to me, dont get me wrong i want to see a flying chicken and little spike getting his wings in a kind of coming of age story line. but something about the picture and the tagline throws me off a little. also no showing on EQD if this was legit they would be all over it as it seems like the thing they would get before anyone else.

**DPBellathrom**

damn.....that was quick o.O

did roid rage ever fly in that episode though

**bloodaxegit**

He did, there was a clip where he flew past RD when all the pegasi were making the whirlwind/hurricane.

**DPBellathrom**

then maybe scoot is just lazy XD I'd like to see her fly though :3

**bloodaxegit**

Well, in Ponyville Confidential, Scootaloo climbs a tree, but falls out, and tries to use her wings, but she still hits the ground (If you're wondering how I've remembered this, I've almost memorised a few episodes, Ponyville Confidential and Hurricane Fluttershy included, I've been watching them on my phone during long journeys, and an old phone can't hold many more than 5 episodes XD ).

**AduroT**

Stupid Mondays. I'm usually up earlier because I don't work Sunday nights so get to bed earlier. Nothing going on at the FLGS. I've already watched all the new tv episodes that came out at the end of the last week. Internets still borked and there's only so much you can do on an iPhone. Soooo bored!

and aduro, there's always ponies to watch :3

**AduroT**

Yeah, I did watch Read it and Weep right before posting that. I ended up making two more posts for Pony Kirby rather than waiting to do em at work.

**DPBellathrom**

hey blood axe, I think I found out why she cant fly lol

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ah poor scoot, suffering from acrophopia...

**liquidjoshi**

Painfully ironic.

**bloodaxegit**

XD, brilliant.
I tried going to Westfield again, still no blind bags, they may have stopped selling them...
But tomorrow is another day, and Hamleys is a bigger store. So, I'm going to the centre of London to buy ponies. A floor of the girls' section. Oh joy.

**liquidjoshi**

If you fail your morale check and consider turning back, remember Commissar Joshi's words: Man up and buy your ponies. And feel like a boss while you do it.

**AduroT**

Sorry to hear that Git. Here, have some filly Twilight to help cheer you up.

**bloodaxegit**

*Wipes tear from eye*
I swear sirs, I'll do you proud.

**DPBellathrom**

here's a helpful and informative video if you get stuck bloodaxe ^^

**bloodaxegit**

That's handy, I'd better buy some Lego with it. Anybody's justified to buy that, right?

Also, have any of you seen this The Brony Song yet? It pretty much summarises every difficulty we can face as a fandom, and ends on a high note. All in all, it's pretty awesome.

I hope he didn't put everything into the sandwich...

its easy to buy ponys when you kidnap a small child and drag them through the store with you.

but in all seriousness i only have one place local where i can get ponys and for the past few weeks they havnt had any in. but soon i have been reliably informed that my local oldrids will be stocking them (a little over priced but thats oldrids) but asuming i have the nescisary funds i will be buying a few unless DP beats me to them.

**DPBellathrom**

lol, the brony song was pretty good ^_^

nah I wont take them all....after all.....

**KillerSkivil**

im fairly certain your going to get them all but 1 and then have some small child buy that one. im fairly certain its going to be a race to get them thats if i havnt spent all my money on warmachine or computer stuff. i only realy need my octavia as she is the all time best pony in ever and i should be set.

**AduroT**

I work nights, so when I got my ponies it was like 8am, the store was nearly empty, and I used the self checkout.

**liquidjoshi**

Self checkout... the only way to do it safely. The store near me that sometimes has them is big. Really big. There will be someone in there that you know, making every trip a stealth mission.

**KillerSkivil**

it may look even dodgeyer if you sneek into your local asda or where ever then sneak around the store to obtain ponies then going to the self checkout with nothing but ponies. if you walked in perfectly normaly and got some stuff other than ponies it would look alot more normal.

**liquidjoshi**

Get salad with ponies. It's healthy.

**AduroT**

I got bored at work...

awwww ^_^ nice work

I must admit the self servace checkouts are a god send to nervous bronies. I am thinking that if you can grab a fellow brony to tag along for moral support it would go smoother. that or if your really desperate buy a cheap birthday card and some wrapping paper along with your pony (pro tip, buy ponies in bulk so you dont have to buy as much wrapping paper/ cards ) :3
