Happy weekend everypony! Late post because busy weekend.

Ah, there was some speculation about the keys and the "rainbow bright objects", I bet this is exactly what the writers of the show wanted. I pass, they haven't give us enough information to really guess what is going to happen. It is quite obvious that the objects are important and related to the bigger arc that includes the box. But other than that, at this moment in the season, they could have written whatever with those elements. They could simply have done anything but show the "color lighted items" for all the season, and made an extrmely simple and predictable "oh those were the keys all the time" plot in the last episode, that lead to the mane 6 getting new magical mcguffins from the box in the end. OR they could have made a three parter season finale with a convoluted epic plot that somehow involved said items, other stuff (the diary, the ponies that give them the items, the tree of Harmony, the princesses, Discord, a new villain, etc.), the keys themselves and whatever amazing thing is in the box. And of course, anything inbetween those extremes could happen. Meh, I prefer to wait and make an educated guess when it is possible.

@Lunapplebloom You should totally do more little reviews about the comics, it is always interesting.

Today’s episode Simple Ways was fun, nothing special but ok.

Wanted to mention that last week I spent all my free time watching some of the Awesome Games Done Quick 2014 marathon on youtube. The event was pretty cool, you guys should go and check the list for games you may be interested to see speedrun. The last game was Chrono Trigger, beaten in about five and a half hours. I just watched it all, and that led to my next story recommendation:

I was sure that I had already recommended this one, but thanks to Aqueous, now I know I hadn't, big mistake. Tonight on the ==Fic of The Week,== a quite funny and well adapted version of one of the best video games ever. I present you:

My Little Chrono Triggers Are Magic by Pav Feira
[On Fimfiction Crossover Incomplete Everyone]
Rainbow Dash attends her hometown's Millennial Summer Sun Celebration. After enjoying herself a bit, she meets a peculiar pink pony and befriends her. When they go to watch the testing of the newest invention of Rainbow's closest friend, Twilight Sparkle, a strange portal appears and her new friend gets pull inside. Now, the two old friends must give chase and embark on the most important adventure in all of history.

As I said this is an adaptation, it is Chrono Trigger, but with ponies. Now this can be seen as a bad thing, as the story is almost the same, so the original story's twists coughDashwilldiecough are expected; however, the story is a delight to read. Seeing our pony characters so well written and so in character while portraying the game original characters is nothing but outstanding. There is much cleverness in how the author uses the slight parallels of both worlds to create something "new". It is just real fun. Add the dept that the writing media adds to the events, with scenes that are hilarious, or dramatic, or exciting in ways that the original game couldn't show, and that even add new themes to the story; and you get something really worth reading, even if you know the end of the story.
The only bad thing is that the story updates every blue moon. I usually don't recommend stories like that, but, as I said, the story is known, so no cliffhangers. As incomplete as it is, this piece is still great.
Great Writing.

And... this is just too funny to not post it.

Until next week.
