Okay, new head canon time. I know this is contradicted in both the show and my earlier pieces, but I am a firm believer that Luna's mane only sparkles and flows at night and Celestia's only flows and is multicolored during the day. Otherwise Luna's mane looks like it did in episode two (day light) and Celestia's looks like it did in the episode one flashback. I know, it's weird, but this is what I'm going with from now on. You'll see why later.
Also, I know a lot of people are wondering why there are so many gaps between each part of this series. I think once the whole thing is out you'll look back on the series as a whole and realize the events that take place between each part are not necessary to move the story forward. Right now it's more important to leave each part ending with either a punchline or a cliffhanger.
XD Hand slave! This is a great comic series. That being said, Celestia misspells below as "bellow" in the 3rd "panel". Just thought you should know, since some people care about such things. Keep up the good work!
