If you’ve seen yesterday’s episode, you know that the Cutie Mark Crusaders were magically transformed into grown-ups, right? Well, here’s what I would’ve changed on it.
 
Instead of being yet another just CMC episode, I feel that Growing Up is Hard to Do should have been a CMC AND Pinkie Pie episode. Here’s how it’d work: After the part where Fluttershy tells them that Twilight has her magical research project, instead of going to Twilight’s castle, the Crusaders would go to Sugarcube Corner and ask Pinkie Pie (who we didn’t see in that episode unlike the other Mane Six), if she can take them to the Appleloosa County Fair. Pinkie says yes, to the CMCs’ excitement, then the rest of the episode would mostly be pretty much the same as the original, other than Pinkie Pie being the CMCs’ chaperone. However, the song “Being Big is All it Takes”, sadly, would have gone unused.
