Hey Lop sense you said that Jasper is dead (more or less). I have an idea that might help to right her out of your cannon forever or until you wanted to use her again. It would be a short (one maybe two if you felt up to it) story.



Well first you will need Spike and Scootaloo to call it quits. I would recommend going the route that they both mutually called it off (but do it how you think it would work best for your story). After that you can have Jasper trying to be the little Scootaloo I think you wanted her to be. You know just trying to be awesome, "Just like Rainbow Dash, just like mom" IDK if she would say something like that. As she is about to try some amazing trick she crashes into Aerostorm. He sees that she is way to wound up and offers her a different solution. At first she thinks "Aerostorm being the son of Rainbow Dash can teach me all the really cool tricks she knows. He can train me how to do those tricks." But he has different training in mind for her, mainly training to help her relax. When she finds out, she isn't happy. Stormy quickly gets her to understand being relaxed a way more fun way of live.



With her new "enlightenment" she decides to travel the world and maybe find out more about her Draconic heritage.



This idea can help with cannon. First, it can explain Spike and Scoots breaking up, and allows your Spike/Thorax ship to blossom. Second, as I said, it can be used wave away Jasper's disappearance. She can also be brought back if you want (I would really like to see that happen for one reason, just to see Chakra trying to hit on "an exotic" pony and to see her out mellow him or just punch in in the face for being a sleaze) Third, You get to write more for Aerostorm (or possibly Rosemary).
