Talk:Cutie Mark Crusaders/@comment-5264798-20150421221818

I'm a little scared that an episode might go like this:

The Crusaders will reach the point where they've lost all hope and can't think of anything else to try. Then the group will have no reason to exist anymore, so they'll disband. Without her friends, Scootaloo will be left alone with  just her scooter; she'll ride around on it for a while and suddenly realize she's been good at it all along (maybe Rainbow Dash will help with that). Similarly, Sweetie Belle will start singing to herself (or maybe to Rarity), Apple Bloom will come home to her family and realize they're what make her special, and in one magical moment, all three of them will simultaneously get their marks.

The scary part is that an episode like that would suggest that abandoning your hopes and dreams (and your friends) is the way to make them come true, yet it's such a natural way for it to finally happen... they discover their talents for themselves, which is the key to getting a cutie mark.
