@Pinklady1,

I'm not saying it will happen, I'm only saying that I wouldn't be surprised if it does.

However, it's worth noting that Celestia and Luna are both likely thousands of years old and Cadence, according to her official back-story novel, is a little over over a thousand years old. It probably actually takes a pony a long time to grow to Celestia's size.

FWIW, Lauren always said that her ultimate plan was for Twilight to become the new ruling Princess of Equestria so Celestia and Luna could finally set aside their immortality and rest after too long caring for their Little Ponies. I think that would be too much of a maudlin and downbeat ending for the show but I can see Twilight continuing to grow and become more and more powerful with time. The trick then will be avoiding letting her become a walking, talking Deus Ex Machina for absolutely any issue that arises.
