Holy crap, my writing got a 6, along with some other girl in my class. Although, I question the standards to get a 6 due to the fact my fanfictions can be better than this. The whole thing composed of my repeating the same "I would.." and reused some ideas, just changing them up a bit. Maybe if it was a fantasy work instead of an expository, I would be prouder of my work but frankly, staring at it makes me cringe. I'll rewrite that junk later, I am too busy writing fanfiction and staying up to four on reddit. Good night, you nocturnal peeps.

The Flaws of Princess Twilight Sparkle/Review of Princess TS Part One
Now, let me get this straight. I do not hate Twilight for becoming an alicorn, unlike some when it was revealed. Now, about nine months later, season four came of with a kicker. However, that is not the point, for now. You see, I slightly think Twilight become an alicorn is...to say the least, iffy. I mean, her friends helped her where she is today but she got the pair of wings. This means she has a whole new social standing, although it was needed for her character. She was meant to become a princess from the start and I am glad she was able to obtain such a high up position. I also have a feeling Twilight would have to begin to see her friends less because she is a princess but it does leave a whole world of possibilities. Now onto my actual review of the episode.
I feel that when Twilight said not to address her differently, that was when I knew Twilight was still Twilight...but with a fancy pair of wings. Quote from the episode "If other ponies want to address me that way, I suppose it's fine, but, not my friends. It just doesn't feel right.". The writers want us to know Twilight isn't going to become snobbish or change and still has the same feeling for her friends as she always has. That is heartwarming. In the scene where that came from, Rainbow Dash is teaching Twilight how to fly for the Summer Sun Celebration for the "big finale", something Twilight isn't too good at (control wise). But, this makes me question, how long has Twilight been in Ponyville? Anyways, I feel it is a bit odd to see Twilight go so fast, until I saw her crash into some clouds, that was hilarious! Did I mention this was an amazing two parter? It was less problems that A Canterlot Wedding and I feel has much better pacing than the Return of Harmony.
The new opening isn't all too different and I noticed an error with it, at least I think it was an error. In the first few seconds of the opening, Twilight is still a unicorn. But, there were some differences. Like, did any of you notice Discord is behind a window in Fluttershy's scene? I sure didn't until a couple of watchings. Also, the photo with some minor characters was new as well, a nice touch. And this time, it shows Luna and Celestia, with Luna peeking at the newly appeared scroll. Nice to see the animators know she is still a princess and important.
I am not quite sure what to feel with all the Mane 6 fawning over Twilicorn, I mean, I know they are proud of her but it seems a bit too excessive. Ah well, just a nit pick. But a fantastic line by Rainbow Dash which I quote "I don't know if it's everypony's dream" when talking about being a princess. Nice touch writers. Did any of you also notice how well done the animation is? I mean...wow! It looks absolutely stunning, with all the shading and lighting. (Silly me, I am gushing, aren't I? Sorry, this two parter is too good!) Applejack tells Twilight to cheer up because she gets to be by the side of the other three princesses after she talks about working on the Summer Sun Celebration preparation. Then Rarity comments that it doesn't feel right not being with Twilight on such a special day but AJ says it may be a special day, but they are always united. That is so sweet! Oh and Pinkie Pie is drooling about cakes in the corner, I must admit, it got a chuckle out of me, but not full on laughter. Some gags happen, but I won't cover those since they aren't the most relevant to the plot except Twilight feels she is already missing them as the others go back to Ponyville.
Twilight is shown worried that they if they go back to Ponyville, a bunch of junk will happen. Celestia comes in to reassure her that things will be fine....before stepping out of the room and getting stolen by....something! Twilight falls asleep and when she awakes sees both the Sun and the Moon are out, at the same time! When she goes outside, is asked questions about what is going on. She goes inside the palace once more and is told that Celestia and Luna have disappeared and getting Cadence isn't an option since she is ruling her own empire. The palace guards tell her now that the Royal Sisters are gone, they now serve under Twilight's command. I think it was nice to show she can take charge and rule, even under the circumstances she was in. She takes charge and says to continue the search for the two and is then told the Everfree is invading...and how does a forest invade? By freaking evil vines, of course!
In Ponyville, the Mane 6 encounter the invading Everfree, like how the clouds are now dark and spiky or how the vines are getting in the Apple Orchard or how it affects unicorn magic.
Sorry I had to cut this short, I felt having a bit of time between the two parts of the review would be good.

School Business; Writing
Starting to wonder about my writing skills, my teacher had us write an essay a bit ago and said if you score a 5 or 6, you don't have do another essay for the rest of the year or something. But every time someone asks about it, she looks at me/ my general area and I think she even pointed in my general direction. Do I actually write THAT good?
The thing? I personally thought my essay was FAR from my best writing, some did I get a 6? If that gets I 6, should I be worried how low the standards are or happy that I don't have to write anymore (unless the school forces all students to write something, like a state wide essay). And, I can't even find out until Friday! Pretty sucky, if you ask me.
