Just goes to show that though the two act like idiots (and, to be honest, actually are), they still have the potential for great futures. Especially Snails since he was actually the first in his age group to display the ability to cast spells while Sweetie Belle (who is in the same class as him, though he might be slightly older (I would not be surprised if they got held back a year or two)) just started to learn how to use magic.
It makes sense that Snails has a body type similar to Trenderhoof’s. I quite like it. Especially because I’m imagining Trend’s own awkward teen years, and it’s a hilarious mental image.
Keep moving forward.
