She could take your stock she asked him for a picture and if he's interested in people's writing. She continues to get positive Reformation from him and asked if he wants to read one of the books she has written yet not published. The books that she pulled out of her tote bag looks like an old book with the title etched into it called the 13 shires. The merchant ask her if she was cosplaying that's one of the characters.

As she continues to look around she continues to notice many peculiar things, one of them being her being a 4 tailed cat. Just like the one in the book that she written, so she concluded that the merchant must have liked her book so much that she turned her into her character queen of all queens the 4 tailed cat ruler of all shire's.

As the Twilight and the other were getting close to the tree house a stray thunder bolt hit a tree causing it to burst a flame and knock a large branch on top of them pinning them down. Before Twilight could levitate the large branch a bright light hit her horn knocking her out. The last thing she her was her friends screaming for her. As all this was going on said unicorn teleport her and her captures away. Using a spell to keep them knocked out it was revealed to be Lavender Swirl who did all this. In doing so she ripped their cutie marks off and turned them into little fillies. Moving on she mixed and unraveled each cutie marks. Continuing on she also slowly messed up their magical signatures so no one would recognize them.

There are many what if ideas and scenarios when it comes to this show. Here are a few what if plot points that may be interesting.
1
What if Twilight Sparkle never became a princess? What if Twilight Sparkle instead became an ambassador for Celestia? What if she had to learn culture of many creatures and her friends help her along the way? How would the story go and how differently would it end, if you consider these factors.

What if chrysalis was different from what she was portrayed as? What if the changelings actually had a culture while Chrysalis is still in power? What if after chrysalis failed attempt to take over made her think of a different way to cultivate love, instead of thinking about revenge? How would the story go and how differently would it end, if you consider these types of factors.
3
What if cozy glow never went to the Friendship is Magic School? What if cozy glow instead made a gang create a safe haven for abandoned children? What if cozy glow hometown was so far away that most ponies did not know that the city where cozy glow lived existed? How would destroy go and how differently would it end, if you consider these types of factors to the story.

2
let's do the Diamond Dogs. What are the Diamond Dogs in the show we're outcasts? What if the diamond dogs in the show had horrible social skills and thought Pony napping was the right thing to do in making friends? What if Rarity found out in the middle of this in started correcting them? How different would things play out and what Rarity make friends with them? Would the Diamond Dogs help out with Rarity? What the time it starts get clingy and dependent on Rarity if so how would this affect everyone?

Let's do shining armor. What was his military life like? Who are his close friends that he hangs out with and had similar Hobbies? What would his adventurous be like? How did shining armor meet Cadence and what would the date be like? I'll be quite curious and how the world is viewed around him.
