>is that it's sort of like a short assigned dissertation, examiners deliberately setting new, somewhat random and creative challenges for potential entrants to try and solve. If I'm honest, I also like the idea of this interpretation, I'm biased on it; it would also make Twilight's background with Spike potentially unique and a happy coincidence, which I like as an idea.
As cool as having several dozen dragon assistants would be runing around and as Season 1 kino it would be to have the dragon's own reproduction dependent on the ponies I think I might prefer this as well. Plus or minus my partial temptation of Twilight Sparkle being Spike's mother somehow by creating life in the egg. Though I suppose those could coexist.

Actually, now that I think about it:
>Rainbow Dash does a Sonic Rainboom
but most don't see her.
>Even among those that do, they may not believe a filly pulled that off.
>Bullies lie to themselves enough to dismiss it.
>Especially if nearly everyone doubted her.
>Rainbow Dash is a braggart after all.
Yeah, that might work after all.
