1
00:00:00,255 --> 00:00:05,317
Spike: No. Nope...No.
Applejack: Thank ya kindly, Twilight, for helpin' me out.

2
00:00:05,317 --> 00:00:08,940
Applejack: I bet Big Macintosh I could get all 
 these Golden Delicious in the barn by lunchtime.

3
00:00:08,094 --> 00:00:13,005
(Spike checking apples)
Applejack: If I win, he's gonna walk 
 down Stirrup Street in one o'Granny's girdles!

4
00:00:13,005 --> 00:00:14,164
(chuckles)

5
00:00:14,396 --> 00:00:15,929
Twilight: No problem at all, Applejack.

6
00:00:15,929 --> 00:00:20,387
I'm glad the goal is lunchtime. All this hard work is making me hungry.

7
00:00:20,387 --> 00:00:21,966
(thunk)
Spike: I know, right?

8
00:00:23,429 --> 00:00:24,729
Twilight: Puh-lease, Spike.

9
00:00:24,729 --> 00:00:27,655
You've been lounging on my back all morning while WE worked.

10
00:00:27,655 --> 00:00:31,881
Spike: Exactly. You two are taking so long, I missed snacktime.

11
00:00:31,881 --> 00:00:33,924
(Twilight's stomach grumbles noisily)

12
00:00:33,924 --> 00:00:38,011
Twilight: (laughs nervously) I guess we'd better get some food...

13
00:00:38,011 --> 00:00:41,540
Spike: Nope. Worm. AHA!

14
00:00:41,054 --> 00:00:44,028
Oh, Spike! That looks delicious!

15
00:00:44,028 --> 00:00:47,717
(Spike chomps, chews noisily)
Twilight: (irritated) Spike!

16
00:00:47,717 --> 00:00:50,968
Spike: (gulps) What? (gags, burps)

17
00:00:55,472 --> 00:00:57,655
It's a letter from Princess Celestia.

18
00:00:57,655 --> 00:01:04,760
(clears throat) "Hear ye, hear ye. Her Grand Royal Highness Princess Celestia of Equestria

19
00:01:04,076 --> 00:01:10,333
is pleased to announce the Grand Galloping Gala to 
 be held in the magnificent capital of Canterlot,

20
00:01:10,333 --> 00:01:13,259
on the 21st day of...eh, yadda yadda yadda,

21
00:01:13,259 --> 00:01:17,833
cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle and one guest."

22
00:01:17,833 --> 00:01:21,177
Both: (gasp) The Grand Galloping Gala!

23
00:01:22,756 --> 00:01:28,886
(theme song begins) My Little Pony, My Little Pony, ah, ah, ah, ah,

24
00:01:28,886 --> 00:01:33,298
(My Little Pony) Twilight: I used to wonder what friendship could be

25
00:01:33,298 --> 00:01:37,059
(My Little Pony) Until you all shared its magic with me

26
00:01:37,059 --> 00:01:39,335
Rainbow Dash: Big adventure
Pinkie Pie: Tons of fun

27
00:01:39,335 --> 00:01:41,056
Rarity: A beautiful heart
Applejack: Faithful and strong

28
00:01:41,564 --> 00:01:43,065
Fluttershy: Sharing kindness
Twilight: It's an easy feat

29
00:01:43,654 --> 00:01:46,002
All: And magic makes it all complete, yeah

30
00:01:46,022 --> 00:01:54,057
(My Little Pony) Do you know you're all my very best friends

31
00:01:57,539 --> 00:01:59,068
Applejack and Twilight: The Grand Galloping Gala!

32
00:01:59,676 --> 00:02:03,053
(both cheering)

33
00:02:03,917 --> 00:02:06,008
(Spike gags, burps)

34
00:02:07,292 --> 00:02:09,001
Spike: Look, two tickets!

35
00:02:09,001 --> 00:02:12,059
Wow, great! I've never been to the Gala. Have you, Spike?

36
00:02:12,586 --> 00:02:15,028
No, and I plan to keep it that way.

37
00:02:15,279 --> 00:02:18,016
I don't want any of that girly, frilly "froo-froo" nonsense.

38
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:21,004
Aw, come on, Spike. A dance would be nice.

39
00:02:21,038 --> 00:02:24,061
Applejack: Nice?! It's a heap good more than just NICE.

40
00:02:24,614 --> 00:02:33,062
I'd love to go. Land sakes, if I had an apple stand set up, 
 ponies would be chewin' our tasty vittles 'til the cows came home.

41
00:02:33,623 --> 00:02:37,080
Do you have any idea how much business I 
 could drum up for Sweet Apple Acres?!

44
00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:49,018
and Big Macintosh could replace that saggy old plow, (poof)

45
00:02:49,273 --> 00:02:53,031
and Granny Smith could replace that saggy old hip!

46
00:02:55,914 --> 00:03:00,019
Wow. I'd give my left hind leg to go to that Gala.

47
00:03:00,187 --> 00:03:02,093
Twilight: Oh. Well, in that case, would you like to-

48
00:03:02,927 --> 00:03:04,060
(Rainbow Dash yelps, thuds)

49
00:03:05,527 --> 00:03:09,010
Are we talking about the Grand Galloping Gala?!

50
00:03:09,103 --> 00:03:13,079
Rainbow Dash...you told me you were too busy to help me harvest apples.

51
00:03:13,794 --> 00:03:16,081
What were you busy doin'? Spyin'?

52
00:03:16,812 --> 00:03:19,069
No, I was busy...napping.

53
00:03:19,692 --> 00:03:24,024
And I just happened to hear that you have an extra ticket?

54
00:03:24,243 --> 00:03:25,031
Twilight: Yeah, but-

55
00:03:25,311 --> 00:03:27,049
Rainbow Dash: YES! This is SO awesome!

56
00:03:27,494 --> 00:03:31,077
The Wonderbolts perform at the Grand Galloping Gala every year!

57
00:03:31,766 --> 00:03:33,034
I can see it now...

58
00:03:33,809 --> 00:03:36,074
Everyone would be watching the sky,

59
00:03:36,735 --> 00:03:38,087
(jets streaming past)
their eyes riveted on the Wonderbolts.

60
00:03:38,871 --> 00:03:43,042
But then in would fly...RAINBOW DASH!

61
00:03:44,583 --> 00:03:45,088
(audience gasps)

62
00:03:45,884 --> 00:03:48,072
Rainbow Dash: I would draw their attention with my Super Speed Strut...

63
00:03:50,992 --> 00:03:52,048
(audience cheers)

64
00:03:52,478 --> 00:03:57,091
Rainbow Dash: Then I would mesmerize 'em with my Fantastic Filly Flash...

65
00:03:58,033 --> 00:03:59,017
(whoosh)

66
00:03:59,955 --> 00:04:02,014
And for my grand finale,

67
00:04:02,138 --> 00:04:04,064
The Buccaneer Blaze.

68
00:04:04,645 --> 00:04:07,029
(explosion)

69
00:04:09,057 --> 00:04:11,010
(audience cheering)
Rainbow Dash: The ponies would go WILD!

70
00:04:12,215 --> 00:04:16,067
The Wonderbolts would insist that my signature moves get incorporated into their routine,

71
00:04:16,673 --> 00:04:20,099
and then welcome me as their newest member.

72
00:04:23,036 --> 00:04:26,019
(jets streaming across sky)

73
00:04:26,983 --> 00:04:28,061
Don't you see, Twilight?

74
00:04:28,608 --> 00:04:31,067
This could be my one chance to show 'em my stuff.

75
00:04:31,673 --> 00:04:36,050
Rainbow Dash: You gotta take ME- (grunt)
Applejack: Hold on just one pony-pickin' minute here!

76
00:04:36,503 --> 00:04:39,048
Applejack: (spits) I asked for that ticket first!

77
00:04:39,475 --> 00:04:42,017
So? That doesn't mean you OWN it.

78
00:04:42,169 --> 00:04:43,024
Oh yeah?

79
00:04:43,237 --> 00:04:45,074
Well, I challenge you to a hoof-wrasslin'.

80
00:04:45,745 --> 00:04:47,046
Winner gets the ticket.

81
00:04:48,067 --> 00:04:50,044
(both straining)

82
00:04:50,435 --> 00:04:51,041
Girls!

83
00:04:51,041 --> 00:04:52,080
These are MY tickets.

84
00:04:52,804 --> 00:04:54,089
I'LL decide who gets it, thank you very much.

85
00:04:54,893 --> 00:04:58,038
Whoever has the best reason to go should get the ticket, don't you think?

86
00:04:58,376 --> 00:05:03,044
Applejack: Drummin' up business for the farm?
Rainbow Dash: 
 A chance to audition for the Wonderbolts?

87
00:05:03,438 --> 00:05:07,006
Applejack: Money to fix Granny's hip?!
Rainbow Dash: LIVING the DREAM?!

88
00:05:07,061 --> 00:05:10,068
Twilight: Oh my, those are all pretty good reasons, aren't they?

89
00:05:10,683 --> 00:05:13,014
(stomach growls noisily)

90
00:05:13,144 --> 00:05:16,067
(chuckles nervously) Listen to that...I am starving.

91
00:05:16,674 --> 00:05:19,088
(nervously) I don't know about you, but I 
 can't make decisions on an empty stomach,

92
00:05:19,878 --> 00:05:24,089
so I'll think about it over lunch and get back to you two, okay?

93
00:05:24,894 --> 00:05:26,089
Both: (dejectedly) Okay.

94
00:05:29,063 --> 00:05:34,004
(both straining)

95
00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:37,006
Spike: So, who you gonna give the ticket to, Twilight?

96
00:05:37,061 --> 00:05:41,015
I don't know, Spike, but I REALLY can't think straight when I'm hungry.

97
00:05:41,148 --> 00:05:42,045
So where should we eat- (door slams open)

98
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:51,055
Pinkie Pie: (shrieks) BATS! BATS ON MY FACE!

99
00:05:51,055 --> 00:05:57,045
HELP! Wait...these are...tickets to the GRAND GALLOPING GALA?!

100
00:05:58,075 --> 00:06:03,046
(extremely rapid speech) It's the most amazing incredible tremendous super-fun 
 wonderful terrifically humongous party in all of Equestria!

101
00:06:03,462 --> 00:06:05,050
I've always, always, ALWAYS wanted to go!

102
00:06:05,505 --> 00:06:08,085
(singing) Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me

103
00:06:08,849 --> 00:06:12,015
Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me

104
00:06:12,146 --> 00:06:17,097
Hip hip, hooray, it's the best place for me, for Pinkie

105
00:06:17,974 --> 00:06:20,071
(speaking) With decorations and streamers and fairy lights and pinwheels

106
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:22,011
and pinatas and pincushions.

107
00:06:22,108 --> 00:06:24,071
With goodies like sugarcubes and sugarcanes

108
00:06:24,708 --> 00:06:26,061
and sundaes and sunbeams and sarsaparilla!

109
00:06:26,612 --> 00:06:31,040
And I get to play my favorite-est of favorite fantabulous 
 games like Pin the Tail on the Pony!

110
00:06:31,396 --> 00:06:34,097
(singing) Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me

111
00:06:34,971 --> 00:06:38,034
Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me

112
00:06:38,338 --> 00:06:45,044
'Cause it's the most galarific superly-terrific gala ever 
 in the whole galaxy! WHEE! (song ends)

113
00:06:46,465 --> 00:06:50,004
Oh, thank you, Twilight! It's the most wonderfulest gift ever!

114
00:06:50,025 --> 00:06:52,097
(Pinkie's eyes squeak)
Twilight: Um, actually...

115
00:06:54,546 --> 00:06:57,094
Rarity: (gasps) Are these what I think they are?!

116
00:06:57,936 --> 00:07:00,021
Twilight: Uh...
Pinkie Pie: Yes, yes, YES!

117
00:07:00,212 --> 00:07:03,009
Twilight's taking me to the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot!

118
00:07:03,091 --> 00:07:04,067
The Gala?

119
00:07:04,067 --> 00:07:07,087
I design ensembles for the Gala EVERY year,

120
00:07:07,874 --> 00:07:10,020
but I've never had the opportunity to attend.

121
00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:13,091
Oh, the SOCIETY, the CULTURE, the GLAMOR,

122
00:07:13,911 --> 00:07:16,009
it's where I truly belong. (giggles)

123
00:07:16,094 --> 00:07:18,042
It's where I'm destined to meet... (dreamily) HIM.

124
00:07:18,416 --> 00:07:21,090
Pinkie Pie: (excited) HIM! (quizzically) Who?

125
00:07:21,899 --> 00:07:22,074
Him...

126
00:07:24,175 --> 00:07:26,022
I would stroll through the Gala,

127
00:07:26,218 --> 00:07:30,077
and everyone would wonder, "Who IS that mysterious mare?"

128
00:07:31,884 --> 00:07:36,071
They would never guess that I was just 
 a simple pony from little old Ponyville.

129
00:07:38,432 --> 00:07:44,028
Why, I would cause such a sensation that I would 
 be invited for an audience with Princess Celestia HERSELF,

130
00:07:44,283 --> 00:07:51,002
and the princess would be so taken with my style and 
 elegance that she would introduce me... (squealing) to HIM,

131
00:07:51,017 --> 00:07:57,005
(dreamily) her nephew, the most handsome eligible unicorn stallion in Canterlot.

132
00:07:57,054 --> 00:08:00,058
Our eyes would meet, our hearts would melt,

133
00:08:00,583 --> 00:08:03,072
our courtship would be MAGNIFICENT,

134
00:08:03,718 --> 00:08:05,099
he would ask for my hoof in marriage,

135
00:08:05,994 --> 00:08:07,094
and of course I would say... (shrieking) YES!

136
00:08:07,944 --> 00:08:11,047
We would have a royal wedding befitting a princess,

137
00:08:11,474 --> 00:08:15,024
which is, (giggles) of course, what I'd become upon marrying (squeals) HIM,

138
00:08:15,235 --> 00:08:17,079
the stallion of my dreams.

139
00:08:17,789 --> 00:08:20,053
(wedding bells ring)

140
00:08:21,018 --> 00:08:26,010
TWILIGHT! I simply cannot believe that you would invite 
 Pinkie Pie so she could... (disgusted) party,

141
00:08:26,102 --> 00:08:29,014
(high-pitched whining) and prevent me from meeting my true love!

142
00:08:29,144 --> 00:08:31,065
How could you?! HMPH!

143
00:08:33,463 --> 00:08:34,062
Spike: Hey!

144
00:08:36,389 --> 00:08:38,001
(Fluttershy gasps)

145
00:08:38,014 --> 00:08:40,038
Angel, these are perfect.

146
00:08:40,382 --> 00:08:42,061
Twilight: Uh, listen guys,

147
00:08:42,612 --> 00:08:45,082
I haven't decided who to give the extra ticket to.

148
00:08:45,816 --> 00:08:46,079
Rarity and Pinkie Pie: You haven't?!

149
00:08:46,791 --> 00:08:49,090
Fluttershy: (meekly) Um, excuse me, Twilight,

150
00:08:49,903 --> 00:08:51,099
I would just like to ask, um,

151
00:08:51,992 --> 00:08:55,066
if it would be all right, if you haven't given it to someone else...

152
00:08:55,661 --> 00:08:58,096
(incredulous) YOU?! YOU want to go to the Gala?

153
00:08:58,958 --> 00:09:04,011
Oh, no. (Angel thumps feet) I, I mean, yes.

154
00:09:04,113 --> 00:09:06,006
Or, actually, kinda.

155
00:09:06,064 --> 00:09:14,042
You see, it's not so much the Grand Galloping Gala as 
 it is the wondrous private gated garden surrounding the dance.

156
00:09:14,585 --> 00:09:19,065
The flowers are said to be the most 
 beautiful and fragrant in all of Equestria.

157
00:09:19,647 --> 00:09:23,064
For the night of the gala, and that night 
 alone, would they all be in bloom...

158
00:09:23,641 --> 00:09:28,024
And that's just the flora! Don't get me started on the fauna!

159
00:09:28,239 --> 00:09:31,035
There's loons, and toucans, and bitterns, oh my!

160
00:09:31,035 --> 00:09:35,081
Hummingbirds that can really hum, and buzzards that can really buzz,

161
00:09:35,808 --> 00:09:41,029
and blue jays, and red jays, and green jays, pink jays and pink flamingos.

162
00:09:43,146 --> 00:09:47,023
Twilight: Gee, Fluttershy, it sounds...beautiful?

163
00:09:47,233 --> 00:09:48,058
Rainbow Dash: WAIT JUST A MINUTE!

164
00:09:48,579 --> 00:09:51,055
Twilight: Rainbow Dash, were you following me?

165
00:09:51,552 --> 00:09:53,083
(flustered) No. I mean, yes. I mean, maybe.

166
00:09:53,827 --> 00:09:55,027
Look, it doesn't matter.

167
00:09:55,267 --> 00:09:59,045
I couldn't risk a goody-four-shoes like you giving that ticket away to just anybody.

168
00:09:59,446 --> 00:10:01,023
Applejack: Wait just another minute!

169
00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:03,088
Applejack, were you following me too?

170
00:10:03,881 --> 00:10:09,055
No, I was following THIS one [Rainbow Dash] to 
 make sure she didn't try any funny business.

171
00:10:09,547 --> 00:10:11,059
(grumbling) Still tryin' to take my ticket.

172
00:10:11,059 --> 00:10:12,080
YOUR ticket?!

173
00:10:12,798 --> 00:10:14,038
Pinkie Pie: But Twilight's taking me!

174
00:10:14,377 --> 00:10:20,069
(ponies arguing over each other)

175
00:10:21,436 --> 00:10:25,048
(ponies arguing over each other)

176
00:10:25,476 --> 00:10:28,073
Twilight: QUIEEEEEEEEEEET!

177
00:10:28,727 --> 00:10:32,065
Pinkie Pie: And then I said, "Oatmeal?! Are you crazy?!" ... (sheepishly) Oh.

178
00:10:32,651 --> 00:10:35,048
Girls, there's no use in arguing.

179
00:10:35,484 --> 00:10:38,055
Rarity: (pleading) But Twilight-
Twilight: (shushes) This is my decision,

180
00:10:38,549 --> 00:10:40,036
and I'm gonna make it on my own,

181
00:10:38,549 --> 00:10:42,033
and I'm gonna make it on my own, and I 
 certainly can't think straight with all this noise,

182
00:10:42,334 --> 00:10:45,026
(stomach grumbles) not to mention hunger.

183
00:10:45,259 --> 00:10:51,020
Now go on! Shoo!
(ponies grumble)

184
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:56,040
And don't worry! I'll figure this out! (crestfallen, to self) Somehow.

185
00:10:59,934 --> 00:11:01,088
Twilight: Ah, Spike, what am I gonna do?

186
00:11:01,885 --> 00:11:05,088
All five of my best friends have really 
 good reasons to go to the Gala.

187
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:08,053
Applejack, or Rainbow Dash?

188
00:11:08,526 --> 00:11:11,054
Pinkie Pie, or Fluttershy, Rarity...

189
00:11:11,544 --> 00:11:13,054
Oh, who should go with me?

190
00:11:13,541 --> 00:11:16,033
(stomach grumbles)

191
00:11:16,653 --> 00:11:18,065
Waiter: Have you made your decision?

192
00:11:18,065 --> 00:11:20,009
Twilight: I can't decide!

193
00:11:20,089 --> 00:11:22,055
Twilight, he just wants to take your order.

194
00:11:22,551 --> 00:11:26,045
...Oh. I would love a daffodil and daisy sandwich.

195
00:11:26,452 --> 00:11:29,047
Do you have any rubies? ...No?

196
00:11:29,047 --> 00:11:32,077
Okay. I'll have the hay fries. Extra-crispy.

197
00:11:32,767 --> 00:11:34,053
What do you think, Spike?

198
00:11:34,532 --> 00:11:36,081
I think we have to try another restaurant.

199
00:11:36,808 --> 00:11:40,076
I mean, I like grass just fine, but would 
 it hurt anybody to offer some gemstones?

200
00:11:40,755 --> 00:11:43,091
I MEAN about the Gala and the ticket and who I should take.

201
00:11:43,913 --> 00:11:46,037
Oh. (annoyed) You're still on THAT?

202
00:11:46,374 --> 00:11:47,049
Spike, LISTEN!

203
00:11:47,489 --> 00:11:48,088
HOW do I choose?

204
00:11:48,882 --> 00:11:51,044
And when I DO choose, would the other four be mad at me?

205
00:11:51,436 --> 00:11:54,004
I mean, I could give up my ticket and give away two,

206
00:11:54,042 --> 00:11:56,040
but that would still leave three disappointed ponies!

207
00:11:56,405 --> 00:11:58,022
Twilight: What if I-
Waiter: Ah, your food.

208
00:11:58,216 --> 00:12:01,010
Oh, thank you. This looks so good.

209
00:12:01,096 --> 00:12:03,079
I'm sure everything will be much clearer once I eat.

210
00:12:03,789 --> 00:12:06,062
(stampede rumble)

211
00:12:06,622 --> 00:12:11,008
Waiter: Erm, madame? Are you going to eat your food in ze rain?

212
00:12:11,008 --> 00:12:14,003
It's not raining... (thunderclap, rainfall)

213
00:12:14,633 --> 00:12:16,049
What's going on?

214
00:12:16,491 --> 00:12:19,032
Rainbow Dash: Hi there best friend forever I've ever ever had!

215
00:12:19,323 --> 00:12:20,076
Enjoying the sunny weather?

216
00:12:20,763 --> 00:12:23,046
(accusatory) Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?

217
00:12:23,457 --> 00:12:24,066
(innocently) What do you mean?

218
00:12:24,664 --> 00:12:27,096
I just saw the smartest, most generous pony about to get rained on,

219
00:12:27,961 --> 00:12:29,077
so I thought I'd kick a hole in the clouds

220
00:12:29,772 --> 00:12:32,079
to keep her dry so she could dine in peace, that's all.

221
00:12:32,791 --> 00:12:39,085
Twilight: Rainbow, you're not trying to get extra consideration for the 
 EXTRA ticket by doing me extra special favors, ARE you?

222
00:12:39,085 --> 00:12:43,043
Me? No no no, of COURSE not!

223
00:12:43,426 --> 00:12:44,035
(sarcastic) Uh-huh.

224
00:12:44,354 --> 00:12:47,033
Seriously. I'd do it for anypony.

225
00:12:47,327 --> 00:12:49,093
(ponies dashing about)

226
00:12:49,927 --> 00:12:52,062
(gulps) Heheh...eh...

227
00:12:52,621 --> 00:12:55,096
Rainbow, I am NOT comfortable accepting unwanted favors.

228
00:12:55,964 --> 00:12:58,066
Twilight: So I'd appreciate it if you'd close up that raincloud right now.

229
00:12:58,658 --> 00:13:00,047
Ugh. FINE.

230
00:13:01,723 --> 00:13:03,040
That's better.

231
00:13:04,695 --> 00:13:08,050
(rainfall, Twilight grumbles)

232
00:13:08,503 --> 00:13:10,036
(Spike snickers)

233
00:13:10,361 --> 00:13:12,071
Rarity: Twilight! (matter-of-factly) It's raining.

234
00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:14,054
(sarcastic) No! Really?

235
00:13:14,054 --> 00:13:16,082
Rarity: Come with me before you catch a cold!

236
00:13:19,695 --> 00:13:21,018
(Twilight shakes off water)

237
00:13:21,181 --> 00:13:24,099
Twilight: (giggles nervously) Oops...sorry...

238
00:13:24,989 --> 00:13:28,084
(saccharine) Oh no! It's QUITE all right!

239
00:13:28,844 --> 00:13:33,030
After all, we ARE the BEST of friends! ...are we not?

240
00:13:33,302 --> 00:13:36,033
And you KNOW what the best of friends do!

241
00:13:36,333 --> 00:13:39,001
Twilight: Uh...
Rarity: (singsong) MAKEOVER!

242
00:13:39,014 --> 00:13:47,016
Twilight: Rarity! Ow, this really isn't fixing it...I mean, 
 thank you, but (straining to breathe) it's...too...tight...

243
00:13:49,115 --> 00:13:52,009
Rarity: There. Oh, you're simply DARLING.

244
00:13:52,087 --> 00:13:55,038
Uh...yeah! It is kinda pretty, isn't it?

245
00:13:55,384 --> 00:13:57,094
(Spike gagging)
Rarity: And YOU!

246
00:13:57,939 --> 00:14:01,065
Oh Spike, I have a dandy little outfit for the dashing gent.

247
00:14:01,654 --> 00:14:05,060
Spike: Daah! Ow, hey, wow, watch it! WHOA!

248
00:14:08,527 --> 00:14:10,034
(Spike shudders)
Twilight: Oh, Spike.

249
00:14:10,431 --> 00:14:11,068
Rarity: Now you just need a hat.

250
00:14:11,685 --> 00:14:14,084
Ugh! I told you, I don't want any part of this girly Gala junk!

251
00:14:14,843 --> 00:14:16,047
See you back at the library.

252
00:14:17,466 --> 00:14:19,060
Rarity: (laughing nervously) Oh, who needs HIM anyway?

253
00:14:19,603 --> 00:14:24,085
(mirror dragging on ground)
This is all about YOU, and how 
 FABULOUS you'll look at the Grand Galloping Gala!

254
00:14:24,085 --> 00:14:26,071
Wait. "The Grand-"

255
00:14:26,708 --> 00:14:29,036
Rarity: (gasps dramatically) And oh, my goodness!

256
00:14:29,355 --> 00:14:30,066
What a coincidence!

257
00:14:30,655 --> 00:14:34,084
I happen to have an ensemble of my 
 own that matches yours to a tee!

258
00:14:34,835 --> 00:14:37,085
We would be the belles of the ball, you and I.

259
00:14:37,854 --> 00:14:40,022
Everyone would be CLAMORING for our attention.

260
00:14:40,222 --> 00:14:43,057
All eyes would be on us, and then everyone would finally know,

261
00:14:43,566 --> 00:14:47,056
the most beautiful, most talented, most sophisticated pony in all of Equestria

262
00:14:47,056 --> 00:14:49,046
is RARITY THE UNICORN!

263
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:56,006
Ah... (nervous tittering) And Twilight Sparkle, of course... (nervous giggle)

264
00:14:56,058 --> 00:14:57,068
I see what's going on.

265
00:14:57,683 --> 00:15:00,014
You're just buttering me up so I give you the extra ticket.

266
00:15:00,145 --> 00:15:01,049
Well, it's not gonna work.

267
00:15:01,492 --> 00:15:04,060
You're going to have to wait for my decision like everyone else.

268
00:15:04,603 --> 00:15:08,033
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've been trying 
 all day just to get some lunch!

269
00:15:08,333 --> 00:15:10,078
Applejack: Did somepony say lunch?

270
00:15:13,055 --> 00:15:15,010
Twilight: You've GOT to be kidding me!

271
00:15:15,098 --> 00:15:18,054
Applejack: I got apple pie, apple fritters, apple tarts, apple dumplin's,

272
00:15:18,535 --> 00:15:22,076
apple crisps, apple crumbles aaaand...Apple Brown Betty.

273
00:15:22,761 --> 00:15:25,022
Uh, the dessert, not my aunt.

274
00:15:25,222 --> 00:15:27,064
Whaddya say there, best friend?

275
00:15:27,637 --> 00:15:29,036
(Twilight's stomach grumbles loudly)

276
00:15:29,355 --> 00:15:30,061
Applejack: Is that a yes?

277
00:15:31,677 --> 00:15:38,036
No. No! I don't know who I'm giving the ticket to, and 
 all these favors aren't making it any easier to decide.

278
00:15:38,365 --> 00:15:41,089
In fact, I'm less sure now than I was this morning!

279
00:15:41,894 --> 00:15:43,052
(Twilight screams)

280
00:15:43,052 --> 00:15:44,077
So, that's a maybe?

281
00:15:47,003 --> 00:15:51,092
Twilight: (groans) I never thought being showered with favors would be so aggravating...

282
00:15:53,004 --> 00:15:58,047
(Fluttershy humming My Little Pony theme)

283
00:15:58,473 --> 00:15:59,026
(Twilight gasps)

284
00:15:59,263 --> 00:16:01,054
Fluttershy! Not you too!

285
00:16:01,538 --> 00:16:07,095
Oh! Well, hello, Twilight. I hope you don't mind. We're 
 all doing a little spring cleaning for you.

286
00:16:07,947 --> 00:16:08,097
(dryly) It's summer.

287
00:16:08,969 --> 00:16:14,054
O-oh, well, better late than never, right? It was Angel's idea.

288
00:16:15,285 --> 00:16:17,014
(salad tongs tapping bowl)

289
00:16:17,142 --> 00:16:19,056
You're not doing this for the ticket, are you?

290
00:16:19,557 --> 00:16:24,048
Oh, no! I'm doing this because you're my very best friend.

291
00:16:24,048 --> 00:16:25,069
Right, Angel?

292
00:16:26,825 --> 00:16:30,040
Oh. Yes, we are just doing this for the ticket.

293
00:16:31,515 --> 00:16:32,077
(stomach grumbles)

294
00:16:32,769 --> 00:16:34,026
No, no, NO!

295
00:16:34,255 --> 00:16:39,064
Well, this is all very nice of you and Angel, but I'm 
 not accepting any extra favors until I've made my final decision,

296
00:16:39,642 --> 00:16:41,007
so I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

297
00:16:41,732 --> 00:16:43,002
Ponies (outside): SURPRISE!

298
00:16:43,218 --> 00:16:44,005
(horns blow, song starts)

299
00:16:44,472 --> 00:16:48,002
Pinkie Pie: (singing) Twilight is my bestest friend! Whoopee, whoopee!
Twilight: (unamused) Pinkie...

300
00:16:48,187 --> 00:16:51,001
Pinkie: (singing) She's the cutest, smartest, all-around best po-nyyy, po-nyyy!
Twilight: Pinkie.

301
00:16:51,113 --> 00:16:54,002
Pinkie: (singing) I bet if I throw a super-duper fun par-tyyy, par-tyyy
Twilight: (annoyed) Pinkie!

302
00:16:54,224 --> 00:16:59,004
Pinkie: (singing) She'll give her extra ticket to the 
 Gala to me! (song ends)
Twilight: (screaming) PINKIIIIIIIE!

303
00:16:59,379 --> 00:17:00,005
(crash)

304
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,006
(sweetly) Yes, Twilight? (eyes flutter)

305
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:07,003
At least the other ponies TRIED to be subtle about the ticket!

306
00:17:07,032 --> 00:17:10,002
Purple pony: Wait, what ticket? What gala?

307
00:17:10,153 --> 00:17:13,008
Pinkie Pie: Oh, you didn't know?! Twilight has an 
 extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala!

308
00:17:13,776 --> 00:17:16,005
All: THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA?!

309
00:17:16,469 --> 00:17:18,005
(commotion)
Pony: Have I ever told you how much I love your mane?

310
00:17:18,466 --> 00:17:20,000
Pony: I'll wash your dishes.

311
00:17:19,999 --> 00:17:21,006
Pink pony: Would you like any help with your gardening?

312
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:24,002
Teal pony: I have a cartload of extra carrots.

313
00:17:24,225 --> 00:17:25,006
(ponies talking over each other)

314
00:17:25,641 --> 00:17:27,004
Spike: What're we gonna do?

315
00:17:27,406 --> 00:17:31,009
We're...gonna...RUUUUUN!

316
00:17:32,026 --> 00:18:05,007
(light remix of Benny Hill's Yakety Sax plays)

317
00:18:05,695 --> 00:18:12,006
(ponies offering favors)

318
00:18:12,615 --> 00:18:13,007
(poof, ponies gasp)

319
00:18:13,073 --> 00:18:16,007
(ponies talk over each other in confusion)

320
00:18:16,748 --> 00:18:18,001
(rising pitch hum, poof)

321
00:18:18,095 --> 00:18:22,005
Spike: (dazed) Warn me next time you're gonna do that!

322
00:18:22,507 --> 00:18:26,001
I didn't even know it was gonna happen! Now quick, lock the doors!

323
00:18:26,083 --> 00:18:31,001
(doors and windows slamming shut)

324
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:32,008
(sigh of relief)

325
00:18:34,117 --> 00:18:36,006
(frustrated scream)

326
00:18:36,578 --> 00:18:38,003
(harried) I can't decide! I just can't decide!

327
00:18:38,296 --> 00:18:41,007
It's important to all of you and I just 
 can't stand to disappoint any of you,

328
00:18:41,071 --> 00:18:44,001
and giving me gifts and doing me favors won't make any difference

329
00:18:44,078 --> 00:18:49,003
because you're all my friends and I wanna make you 
 all happy and I can't, I just CAN'T!

330
00:18:49,326 --> 00:18:53,002
Applejack: Twilight, sugar, I-I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you.

331
00:18:53,542 --> 00:18:56,005
And if it helps, I don't want the ticket anymore.

332
00:18:56,524 --> 00:19:00,007
You can give it to somepony else. I won't feel bad, I promise.

333
00:19:00,657 --> 00:19:05,001
Fluttershy: Me too. I feel just awful that I made you feel so awful...

334
00:19:05,069 --> 00:19:08,003
Pinkie Pie: And me too. It's no fun upsetting your friends.

335
00:19:08,273 --> 00:19:12,000
Rarity: Twilight, it was unfair of me to 
 try to force you as I did.

336
00:19:12,035 --> 00:19:15,006
Rainbow Dash: YES! That means the ticket is MINE!

337
00:19:15,564 --> 00:19:19,001
(giggles, gloats) I got the ticket, I got the ticket...

338
00:19:20,905 --> 00:19:26,007
You know, I haven't perfected my signature moves for the Wonderbolts, anyway.

339
00:19:26,071 --> 00:19:28,008
I don't need that ticket either.

340
00:19:28,008 --> 00:19:35,000
Applejack: We all got so gung-ho about goin' to the Gala 
 that we couldn't see how un-gung-ho we were makin' you.

341
00:19:35,023 --> 00:19:37,001
All: We're sorry, Twilight.

342
00:19:37,066 --> 00:19:39,002
Spike, take down a note.

343
00:19:39,249 --> 00:19:41,003
"Dear Princess Celestia,

344
00:19:41,292 --> 00:19:44,009
I've learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings,

345
00:19:44,868 --> 00:19:50,002
but when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more 
 than your friends can make you feel pretty awful.

346
00:19:50,025 --> 00:19:56,002
So, though I appreciate the invitation, I will be 
 returning both tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala."

347
00:19:56,153 --> 00:19:57,002
All: WHAT?!

348
00:19:57,221 --> 00:20:00,006
If my friends can't all go, I don't wanna go either.

349
00:20:00,565 --> 00:20:04,002
Applejack: Twilight...You don't have t'do that.

350
00:20:04,233 --> 00:20:08,000
Nope, I've made up my mind. Spike, you can send the letter now.

351
00:20:08,738 --> 00:20:10,009
(inhales, breathes fire)

352
00:20:10,921 --> 00:20:13,009
Fluttershy: Now you won't get to go to the Gala either.

353
00:20:13,939 --> 00:20:15,000
It's okay, girls.

354
00:20:14,961 --> 00:20:18,004
I couldn't possibly enjoy myself without my best friends there with me,

355
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:21,009
(ponies doting)
so I'd rather not go at all.

356
00:20:23,367 --> 00:20:26,008
(Spike gags heavily)
Applejack: Well, wallop my withers, Spike.

357
00:20:26,757 --> 00:20:30,007
(Spike gagging)
Isn't that just like a boy? Can't handle the least bit of sentiment.

358
00:20:30,704 --> 00:20:32,003
(Spike burps)
Applejack: Whoa, Nelly!

359
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,005
Twilight: A letter from the princess? That was fast.

360
00:20:36,509 --> 00:20:39,002
"My faithful student Twilight,

361
00:20:39,156 --> 00:20:41,008
Why didn't you say so in the first place?

362
00:20:41,757 --> 00:20:45,003
Six tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala!"

363
00:20:45,286 --> 00:20:46,003
(ponies gasp)

364
00:20:46,308 --> 00:20:48,000
Twilight: Now we can all go!

365
00:20:48,026 --> 00:20:51,002
(ponies cheer)

366
00:20:50,673 --> 00:20:53,000
(Twilight's stomach grumbles)

367
00:20:52,995 --> 00:20:56,001
(Twilight laughs nervously)
Rarity: Allow us to treat you to dinner.

368
00:20:56,006 --> 00:20:58,008
Rainbow Dash: What a great way to apologize.

369
00:20:58,754 --> 00:21:03,004
Pinkie Pie: And to CELEBRATE! Come on everyone, the cupcakes are on me!

370
00:21:05,697 --> 00:21:08,006
How come I don't get a ticket to the Gala?

371
00:21:08,576 --> 00:21:11,003
(Spike gags, burps)

372
00:21:12,175 --> 00:21:13,005
"And one for you, Spike."

373
00:21:14,172 --> 00:21:16,006
(childish giggling)

374
00:21:17,794 --> 00:21:21,001
Spike: I-I mean, (feigns revulsion) GROSS! I have to go, too?!

375
00:21:22,717 --> 00:21:27,007
(Spike and Applejack giggle)

376
00:21:30,635 --> 00:21:32,009
(ending theme begins) My Little Pony

377
00:21:35,139 --> 00:21:37,000
My Little Pony

378
00:21:38,917 --> 00:21:48,000
(instrumental)

379
00:21:47,957 --> 00:21:54,005
My Little Pony, friends
