Here's the Mane 6 (and Spike) as they appear prior to the events of Junior Gala. Twilight has yet to evolve into an Alicorn, as it's the defeat of Nightmare Moon/restoration of Princess Luna that earns young Twilie her wings and super strength. Indeed, the whole Element-bearer squad have a lot of growing up to do: Pinkie, Rainbow and Flutters are all in their very early 20s, whilst AJ and Rarity are still in high school (Twilight is somewhere in the middle). And yet, let's none of us discount the skills...boisterous bruiser Pinkie has pulverized rocks bigger than you, martial arteeste Rarity will kick evil's butt and look divine doing it, AJ's got good old Apple ingenuity (and plenty of pertinent questions to axe), Twilight and her l33t magic were hand-picked by the pinnacle of the species for this job, Dash is a serious athlete who did that sound-barrier thing, and Flutts....well... "Why oh WHY did you guys bring me along??" "'Cuz you're kind, playa!" "Yeah, I'm KINDa gonna DIE!" "How do you think I feel? Token dude? Token reptile? Put me down, Jerklight, I wanna LIVE!"mlp:fim = Hasbro/FaustI'm a hell, hellraiser! Bringin' hurt to your door. I'm a hell, hellraiser! Friendship and magic are gonna come... www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5VbMA… PS: Why aren't they wearing the Elements? Well, technically they are. The Elements are intangible and they choose their own bearers. Makes it harder for them to get lost or stolen, right?Other PS: Dashie and Flutters are interested but not a couple yet; they make it official after the Nightmare Moon caper (spoilers: Flutts survives). AJ and Rares take even longer...jeez, WAY longer...
