1
00:00:01,509 --> 00:00:05,132
Sweetie Belle: (gulps, trembling) Are you sure about this, Scootaloo?

2
00:00:05,132 --> 00:00:08,661
I've never even HEARD of a pony zip-lining before...

3
00:00:08,661 --> 00:00:12,376
Scootaloo: (confidently) Neither have I, but Spike told me it was AWESOME!

4
00:00:15,023 --> 00:00:18,251
(ponies screaming)

5
00:00:20,341 --> 00:00:23,452
(ponies screaming, crash)

6
00:00:23,452 --> 00:00:25,263
(Scootaloo grunts, screams)

7
00:00:25,263 --> 00:00:25,890
(Sweetie Belle grunts)

8
00:00:25,089 --> 00:00:27,632
(Applebloom yelps, all three crash into ground and grunt)

9
00:00:29,071 --> 00:00:30,604
Applebloom: (weakly) See anything?

10
00:00:33,019 --> 00:00:36,873
Scootaloo: (dejectedly) Tree sap and pine needles, but no cutie mark.

11
00:00:36,873 --> 00:00:39,427
Sweetie Belle: Plan B?

12
00:00:39,427 --> 00:00:43,468
Scootaloo: Yeah. You know where we can find a cannon at this hour?

13
00:00:44,954 --> 00:00:50,666
(helmet clatters to ground)
It's no use. No matter what we 
 try, we always end up without our cutie marks.

14
00:00:50,666 --> 00:00:54,102
And surprisingly often, covered in tree sap.

15
00:00:54,102 --> 00:00:56,750
Sweetie Belle: Maybe we should do something less dangerous.

16
00:00:56,075 --> 00:00:59,397
Like pillow testing, or flower sniffing.

17
00:01:00,651 --> 00:01:04,319
(water splashes)
Applebloom: This town is full o'ponies who have their cutie marks.

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,270
Why don't we ask THEM how they did it?

19
00:01:06,027 --> 00:01:08,731
Sweetie Belle: That's a great, SAFE idea.

20
00:01:08,731 --> 00:01:12,771
Scootaloo: Yeah! And we can start with the coolest pony in Ponyville!

21
00:01:12,771 --> 00:01:15,000
Applebloom: Applejack!
Sweetie Belle: Rarity!

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,648
Scootaloo: Come on, guys. I said, "Cool!"

23
00:01:17,648 --> 00:01:21,084
You know who I'm talking about. She's fast. She's tough. (slams bucket)

24
00:01:21,084 --> 00:01:23,081
She's not afraid of ANYTHING.

25
00:01:23,081 --> 00:01:25,264
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle: ...Pinkie Pie?

26
00:01:25,264 --> 00:01:29,072
Scootaloo: No! The greatest flier ever to come out of Cloudsdale!

27
00:01:29,072 --> 00:01:30,790
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle: Fluttershy?

28
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:32,926
Scootaloo: No! Rainbow Dash!

29
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:37,059
Applebloom: Oh, yeah! That makes much more sense!
Sweetie Belle: Of course!

30
00:01:37,059 --> 00:01:40,059
Scootaloo: Let's do it. Let's find out how Rainbow Dash earned her cutie mark!

31
00:01:40,589 --> 00:01:41,056
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle: YEAH! (double high-hoof, splat)

32
00:01:41,564 --> 00:01:45,009
(ponies struggling and grunting, sap stretching)

33
00:01:45,094 --> 00:01:46,063
(all three groan)

34
00:01:48,019 --> 00:01:54,022
(theme song begins) My Little Pony, My Little Pony, ah, ah, ah, ah,

35
00:01:54,219 --> 00:01:58,049
(My Little Pony) Twilight: I used to wonder what friendship could be

36
00:01:58,491 --> 00:02:02,058
(My Little Pony) Until you all shared its magic with me

37
00:02:02,578 --> 00:02:04,076
Rainbow Dash: Big adventure
Pinkie Pie: Tons of fun

38
00:02:04,761 --> 00:02:07,004
Rarity: A beautiful heart
Applejack: Faithful and strong

39
00:02:07,036 --> 00:02:09,003
Fluttershy: Sharing kindness
Twilight: It's an easy feat

40
00:02:09,033 --> 00:02:11,040
All: And magic makes it all complete, yeah

41
00:02:11,402 --> 00:02:19,062
(My Little Pony) Do you know, you're all my very best friends

44
00:02:28,492 --> 00:02:31,064
(brakes squealing)

45
00:02:31,641 --> 00:02:34,011
Applejack: (echoing shout) GET BACK HERE, YA THIEVIN' VARMINTS!

46
00:02:34,111 --> 00:02:35,078
Applebloom: Thievin' what, now?

47
00:02:35,783 --> 00:02:37,092
(Applejack pants, all scream, crash)

48
00:02:39,823 --> 00:02:41,031
Applejack: Applebloom?!

49
00:02:42,516 --> 00:02:44,093
Applebloom: Hey, sis, how'd you get yer cutie mark?

50
00:02:44,931 --> 00:02:47,057
Applejack: ...I never told you that story?

51
00:02:47,573 --> 00:02:50,083
Scootaloo: Hey! I thought we were gonna ask Rainbow Dash!

52
00:02:50,829 --> 00:02:52,069
Applebloom: We need all the help we can get!

53
00:02:52,687 --> 00:02:54,040
Scootaloo: Ugh, fine.

54
00:02:55,427 --> 00:03:00,072
Applejack: Why, shoot. I was just a li'l filly, even littler than y'all...
(flashback wipe)

55
00:03:00,721 --> 00:03:03,079
Applejack: (voice-over) I didn't wanna spend my life at a muddy ol' apple farm.

56
00:03:03,786 --> 00:03:08,071
I wanted to live the sophisticated life, like my Aunt'n'Uncle Orange.

57
00:03:13,724 --> 00:03:17,090
So I set out t'try my luck in the big city: Manehattan [Manhattan]!

58
00:03:17,904 --> 00:03:21,006
The most cosmopolitan city in all of Equestria.

59
00:03:21,062 --> 00:03:23,057
Snobbish male pony: Hey! Outta the way, ya rube!

60
00:03:23,569 --> 00:03:27,052
Applejack: (voice-over) I knew I'd find out who 
 I was meant to be in Manehattan.

61
00:03:30,953 --> 00:03:33,018
(Applejack knocks on door, door opens)

62
00:03:33,182 --> 00:03:35,069
Filly Applejack: Aunt Orange! Uncle Orange!

63
00:03:35,069 --> 00:03:38,012
Thank y'all so much for lettin' me stay!

64
00:03:38,012 --> 00:03:42,003
(door slams shut)
Aunt Orange: (patronizingly) "Y'all!" (snobbish laugh) Isn't she just the living end?

65
00:03:42,029 --> 00:03:43,052
Uncle Orange: (haughty chuckle) How quaint.

66
00:03:43,515 --> 00:03:47,065
Aunt Orange: Don't worry. We'll have you acting 
 like a true Manehattanite in no time.

67
00:03:47,648 --> 00:03:52,097
(ponies chattering)

68
00:03:52,969 --> 00:03:56,040
Stallion: And how are you finding good old Manehattan?

69
00:03:56,402 --> 00:03:58,035
Filly Applejack: (eloquently) Oh, it's simply divine.

70
00:03:58,353 --> 00:04:00,054
Aunt Orange: Very well said, my dear.

71
00:04:00,536 --> 00:04:04,044
Filly Applejack: Although, I must admit the city noise took some getting used to.

72
00:04:04,436 --> 00:04:09,050
Where I'm from, the nights are so quiet you seldom 
 hear a peep until the roosters wake you.

73
00:04:09,498 --> 00:04:10,084
White mare: The...what?

74
00:04:10,845 --> 00:04:14,042
Stallion: I say, my dear, what in the world is a..."rooster?"

75
00:04:14,421 --> 00:04:16,019
(ponies chuckling condescendingly)
Filly Applejack: (thinking in normal voice) What's he talkin' about?

76
00:04:16,186 --> 00:04:18,097
What do I say? I don't wanna look like a fool...

77
00:04:18,972 --> 00:04:21,039
Server: Dinner is served.

78
00:04:24,034 --> 00:04:28,007
Filly Applejack: (aloud, eloquently) Thank goodness. Being a city pony's hard work.

79
00:04:28,074 --> 00:04:30,012
I'm so hungry I could eat a-

80
00:04:39,591 --> 00:04:41,087
(normal voice, morosely) Cock-a-doodle-doo...

81
00:04:41,867 --> 00:04:45,003
Oh, I wonder what Granny Smith and Big Macintosh are up to...

82
00:04:45,032 --> 00:04:49,034
I bet they're applebuckin' their way through the Red Delicious trees.

83
00:04:49,344 --> 00:04:52,066
Oh, what I wouldn't give for just one bite...

84
00:04:52,657 --> 00:04:56,022
Applejack: (voice-over) I never felt so homesick in all 
 my days as I did right then.

85
00:04:56,217 --> 00:04:58,058
(distant explosion)

86
00:04:58,585 --> 00:05:03,097
It was amazin'! A rainbow, pointin' right back towards...home.

87
00:05:03,972 --> 00:05:06,080
In that moment, it all became clear.

88
00:05:06,805 --> 00:05:09,059
I knew right then just who I was supposed t'be.

89
00:05:16,047 --> 00:05:17,090
That's when this here appeared.

90
00:05:17,904 --> 00:05:22,048
I've been happily workin' the farm ever since.
(bunnies blow raspberries at Applejack)

91
00:05:22,048 --> 00:05:26,077
There they are! GET BACK HERE, YA THIEVIN' VARMINTS!

92
00:05:26,774 --> 00:05:29,084
Sweetie Belle: Aww, that was such a sweet story!

93
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,025
Scootaloo: Sweet?! Try "sappy."

94
00:05:32,254 --> 00:05:33,074
(Scootaloo gags)

95
00:05:33,074 --> 00:05:37,032
Come on, we've gotta find Rainbow Dash and hear 
 the COOL way to get a cutie mark!

96
00:05:37,316 --> 00:05:38,052
(vroom)

97
00:05:41,217 --> 00:05:43,026
(Applebloom and Sweetie Belle screaming)

98
00:05:43,261 --> 00:05:46,079
(brakes squeal, wheels snap off, Crusaders scream and crash into ground)

99
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:50,071
Fluttershy: (gently) All right, little ones. This way, this way.

100
00:05:50,714 --> 00:05:54,043
You really should be more careful.

101
00:05:54,429 --> 00:05:55,092
Somepony could get hurt.

102
00:05:55,915 --> 00:05:57,091
Why are you in such a hurry, anyway?

103
00:05:57,912 --> 00:06:01,036
Scootaloo: We're trying to find Rainbow Dash so we 
 can hear how she earned her cutie mark.

104
00:06:01,036 --> 00:06:03,072
Fluttershy: Oh! That would be interesting.

105
00:06:03,717 --> 00:06:07,015
You know, I wouldn't have gotten my cutie mark if it weren't for her.

106
00:06:07,154 --> 00:06:09,043
Scootaloo: (intrigued) Rainbow Dash?! Really?!

107
00:06:09,429 --> 00:06:13,066
Fluttershy: Oh, yes. It all started at Summer Flight Camp...
(flashback)

108
00:06:13,656 --> 00:06:17,084
Fluttershy: (voice-over) You'd never guess, but when I was little, I was very shy.

109
00:06:17,835 --> 00:06:20,000
And a very weak flier.

110
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,004
(Fluttershy struggles weakly)

111
00:06:25,149 --> 00:06:28,082
(Fluttershy yelps and flails about)

112
00:06:28,818 --> 00:06:30,030
(Fluttershy gasps)

113
00:06:33,694 --> 00:06:35,088
(Fluttershy snags flag and crashes, grunts)

114
00:06:36,992 --> 00:06:41,073
(Hoops and Dumbbell laughing)
Colt Dumbbell: Nice going, "Klutzershy!" [Fluttershy]

115
00:06:41,728 --> 00:06:43,096
They oughta ground you permanently!

116
00:06:43,958 --> 00:06:46,084
Colt Hoops: HA! My baby brother can fly better than you!

117
00:06:46,837 --> 00:06:50,004
(Hoops and Dumbbell laughing)
Fluttershy: (voice-over) It was the most humiliating moment of my life.

118
00:06:50,041 --> 00:06:51,076
And then, out of nowhere...

119
00:06:52,038 --> 00:06:54,017
(air whooshing past)

120
00:06:56,636 --> 00:06:58,031
Filly Rainbow Dash: Leave her alone!

121
00:06:58,307 --> 00:07:01,042
Colt Hoops: (mockingly) Ooh, what're you gonna do, "Rainbow Crash?"

122
00:07:01,419 --> 00:07:04,025
Filly Rainbow Dash: Keep makin' fun of her and find out!

123
00:07:04,252 --> 00:07:07,022
Colt Dumbbell: You think yer such a big shot? Why don't you prove it?!

124
00:07:07,224 --> 00:07:09,004
Filly Rainbow Dash: (goading) Whaddya have in mind?

125
00:07:13,308 --> 00:07:14,052
Colt Hoops: Yer goin' down!

126
00:07:14,515 --> 00:07:16,019
Filly Rainbow Dash: In history, maybe!

127
00:07:16,187 --> 00:07:18,042
See you boys at the finish line!

128
00:07:20,924 --> 00:07:22,064
(Fluttershy waves flag)

129
00:07:22,642 --> 00:07:26,064
(Fluttershy yelps, voice trembles as she spins)

130
00:07:26,636 --> 00:07:30,077
(Fluttershy screaming)

131
00:07:30,769 --> 00:07:34,002
(Fluttershy flailing legs)

132
00:07:34,002 --> 00:07:39,027
(Fluttershy screaming; soft thump)

133
00:07:39,267 --> 00:07:40,080
Filly Fluttershy: Huh?

134
00:07:42,333 --> 00:07:46,012
Fluttershy: (voice-over) I had never seen such beautiful creatures.

135
00:07:46,121 --> 00:07:48,079
Butterflies don't fly as high as my cloud home.

136
00:07:48,788 --> 00:07:51,030
And I'd never been near the ground before.

137
00:07:51,295 --> 00:07:53,052
(gentle piano intro plays)

138
00:07:53,525 --> 00:07:58,012
Filly Fluttershy: (singing) What is this place
Filled with so many wonders?

139
00:07:58,122 --> 00:08:02,077
Casting its spell
That I am now under (drum flourish)

140
00:08:02,766 --> 00:08:07,008
Squirrels in the trees
And the cute little bunnies

141
00:08:07,085 --> 00:08:12,005
Birds flying free
And bees with their honey

142
00:08:12,054 --> 00:08:17,030
(holds each note in turn) Ho~ney
(music builds)

143
00:08:17,302 --> 00:08:24,004
(big band style)
Oh, what a magical place
And I 
 owe it all to the pegasus race

144
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:30,026
If I knew that ground had so much up its 
 sleeve
I'd have come here sooner, and never leave

145
00:08:30,259 --> 00:08:39,018
Yes, I. Love. Ev-ery-THIIIING! (holds final note)
(song crescendos, ends)

146
00:08:39,175 --> 00:08:42,080
(distant explosion, aural shockwaves)

147
00:08:44,887 --> 00:08:46,051
(frantic croaking)

148
00:08:52,968 --> 00:08:55,073
(gentle acoustic guitar rendition of My Little Pony theme plays)
(gently) Shh. It's okay.

149
00:08:57,635 --> 00:09:01,021
(hollow knocking, hollow echo) You can come out!

150
00:09:03,765 --> 00:09:06,083
(gurgling) Everything's okay.

151
00:09:06,083 --> 00:09:09,062
There's nothing to be afraid of.

152
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:11,043
(quacking)

153
00:09:13,378 --> 00:09:18,053
Fluttershy: (voice-over) Somehow, I had the ability to communicate 
 with the animals on a different level.

154
00:09:20,808 --> 00:09:23,027
Scootaloo: Waitwaitwait. What happened to Rainbow Dash?!

155
00:09:23,027 --> 00:09:24,034
What about the race?!

156
00:09:24,338 --> 00:09:28,001
Fluttershy: Oh! Well, I wasn't there, so I don't really know what happened.

157
00:09:28,007 --> 00:09:30,070
Scootaloo: Come on, Crusaders! We've gotta find her!

158
00:09:30,007 --> 00:09:33,030
Besides, I can't take any more singing.

159
00:09:33,301 --> 00:09:35,030
Sweetie Belle: Maybe my sister knows where she is.

160
00:09:35,298 --> 00:09:37,067
Bye, Fluttershy!

161
00:09:37,666 --> 00:09:38,097
Fluttershy: Bye, girls!

162
00:09:42,821 --> 00:09:45,024
Scootaloo: How did we get roped into THIS?!

163
00:09:45,236 --> 00:09:48,067
(pouting) We'll NEVER hear Rainbow Dash's story!

164
00:09:48,672 --> 00:09:52,011
Rarity: Are you girls STILL obsessing over your cutie marks?

165
00:09:52,109 --> 00:09:56,001
Sweetie Belle: Of course! Most of the fillies at school already have theirs...

166
00:09:56,001 --> 00:10:01,063
Rarity: Mm, I know how you feel. For the longest time, 
 I couldn't figure out why I didn't have mine.
(flashback)

167
00:10:02,697 --> 00:10:10,041
(stage playing music)

168
00:10:10,406 --> 00:10:13,007
Teacher: (nasal voice) Well done, Rarity. Your costumes are very nice.

169
00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:16,063
Filly Rarity: "NICE?!" They need to be SPECTACULAR!

170
00:10:16,629 --> 00:10:18,067
And the performance is tomorrow!

171
00:10:18,672 --> 00:10:23,087
(sewing machine whirring)
Rarity: (voice-over) I tried every trick I 
 could think of, but nothing seemed to work.

172
00:10:23,874 --> 00:10:27,082
The costumes just weren't right, and the play opened that night!

173
00:10:27,821 --> 00:10:31,016
Filly Rarity: (dejectedly) Maybe I'm not meant to be a fashionista after all...

174
00:10:31,165 --> 00:10:33,063
(horn poofs, Rarity shrieks)

175
00:10:34,648 --> 00:10:36,032
What's going on?! (drags along ground)

176
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:40,068
Rarity: (voice-over) I had no idea where my horn was taking me.

177
00:10:40,685 --> 00:10:43,047
But unicorn magic doesn't happen without a reason.

178
00:10:43,471 --> 00:10:47,074
I knew this had to do with my love 
 of fashion and maybe even my cutie mark!

179
00:10:47,744 --> 00:10:48,095
(Rarity grunts)

180
00:10:48,951 --> 00:10:52,020
Rarity: (overly dramatic voice-over) I knew that this was...MY DESTINY!

181
00:10:54,292 --> 00:10:56,029
Filly Rarity: A ROCK?!

182
00:10:56,289 --> 00:10:57,096
THAT'S my destiny?!

183
00:10:57,961 --> 00:10:59,068
What is your PROBLEM, HORN?!

184
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,046
I followed you all the way out here for A ROCK?!

185
00:11:02,465 --> 00:11:04,093
(grumbles) DUMB ROCK!

186
00:11:04,927 --> 00:11:08,069
(loud explosion, air whooshing, Rarity screams)

187
00:11:08,688 --> 00:11:10,096
(rock cracks and splits)

188
00:11:14,725 --> 00:11:16,026
(Rarity gasps)

189
00:11:17,326 --> 00:11:27,038
(stage playing same song as before)

190
00:11:27,038 --> 00:11:29,089
(audience "oohs")

191
00:11:32,953 --> 00:11:38,025
Scootaloo: (frustrated) ARRRGH! These namby-pamby stories aren't getting 
 us any closer to our cutie marks!

192
00:11:38,247 --> 00:11:42,010
They're all about "finding who you really are" and boring stuff like that!

193
00:11:42,102 --> 00:11:44,033
Rarity: Yes, Scootaloo. That's exactly-

194
00:11:44,331 --> 00:11:48,014
Scootaloo: (oblivious) Come on, girls! We need action! We need Rainbow Dash!

195
00:11:48,139 --> 00:11:49,002
(door slams shut)

196
00:11:49,021 --> 00:11:53,062
Twilight: As a young filly in Canterlot, I always wanted 
 to go to the Summer Sun Celebration,
(Scootaloo groans)

197
00:11:53,619 --> 00:11:56,008
where Princess Celestia raises the sun.
(flashback)

198
00:11:56,008 --> 00:11:59,066
Twilight: (voice-over) And I saw the most amazing, most wonderful thing I've ever seen.

199
00:11:59,656 --> 00:12:12,047
(fanfare)

200
00:12:12,473 --> 00:12:24,013
(fanfare)
(Celestia flaps wings, ponies "ooh" and "ahh")

201
00:12:24,013 --> 00:12:28,022
(ponies cheering)

202
00:12:28,217 --> 00:12:32,007
Twilight: (voice-over) I poured myself into learning everything I could about magic.

203
00:12:32,071 --> 00:12:37,055
(Twilight grunts intensely, page turns)

204
00:12:37,551 --> 00:12:39,027
(Twilight gasps)

205
00:12:46,142 --> 00:12:51,025
My parents decided to enroll me in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.

206
00:12:51,251 --> 00:12:53,048
It was a dream come true!

207
00:12:53,048 --> 00:12:55,066
Except for one thing...

208
00:12:55,663 --> 00:12:58,012
I had to pass an entrance exam!

209
00:13:02,582 --> 00:13:07,018
(wooden cart clattering)

210
00:13:07,018 --> 00:13:10,020
Female proctor: Well, Miss Sparkle?

211
00:13:13,124 --> 00:13:15,040
(Twilight chuckles nervously)

212
00:13:20,183 --> 00:13:22,078
Female proctor: Well, Miss Sparkle?

213
00:13:22,783 --> 00:13:24,060
(male proctor coughs impatiently)

214
00:13:27,845 --> 00:13:31,010
(Twilight strains, grunts)

215
00:13:33,372 --> 00:13:34,097
(Twilight groans)

216
00:13:34,974 --> 00:13:38,013
(male proctor yawns ostentatiously)

217
00:13:38,132 --> 00:13:40,004
Female proctor: We don't have all day.

218
00:13:40,036 --> 00:13:42,059
Twilight: (voice-over) I knew it was the most important day of my life,

219
00:13:42,059 --> 00:13:47,023
that my entire future would be affected by the outcome of this day,

220
00:13:47,234 --> 00:13:49,028
and I was about to blow it!

221
00:13:49,277 --> 00:13:52,025
(magical sparks, Twilight strains and grunts)

222
00:13:53,643 --> 00:13:56,015
Filly Twilight: (morosely) I'm sorry I wasted your time.

223
00:13:57,073 --> 00:14:01,003
(loud explosion)

224
00:14:01,027 --> 00:14:04,000
(magical noises, poof)

225
00:14:03,999 --> 00:14:05,090
(Spike yawns)

226
00:14:05,903 --> 00:14:07,090
(Twilight shrieks, poof)

227
00:14:07,009 --> 00:14:09,094
(crackling explosion)

228
00:14:09,943 --> 00:14:11,094
(magical poof)

229
00:14:13,194 --> 00:14:14,064
(magical poof)

230
00:14:14,637 --> 00:14:17,000
(humming, magical poof)

231
00:14:17,002 --> 00:14:18,030
(roof shatters)

232
00:14:18,302 --> 00:14:23,041
(intermittent sparking)

233
00:14:23,411 --> 00:14:25,083
(crackling, Twilight grunts)

234
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:30,033
(humming subsides)

235
00:14:30,033 --> 00:14:36,018
(several poofs)

236
00:14:36,182 --> 00:14:38,004
(Spike gurgles)

237
00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:42,024
Celestia: Twilight Sparkle.
Filly Twilight: Oh, I'm so sorry. I-

238
00:14:42,242 --> 00:14:44,024
Celestia: You have a very special gift.

239
00:14:44,239 --> 00:14:47,091
I don't think I've EVER come across a unicorn with your raw abilities.

240
00:14:47,908 --> 00:14:49,002
Filly Twilight: Huh?

241
00:14:49,022 --> 00:14:51,086
Celestia: But you need to learn to tame these abilities through focused study.

242
00:14:51,855 --> 00:14:53,006
Filly Twilight: Huh?!

243
00:14:53,063 --> 00:14:57,057
Celestia: Twilight Sparkle, I'd like to make you my 
 own personal protégé here at the school.

244
00:14:57,567 --> 00:14:58,064
Filly Twilight: HUH?!

245
00:14:58,635 --> 00:14:59,098
Celestia: ...Well?

246
00:15:01,654 --> 00:15:03,028
Filly Twilight: (ecstatic) YEEEES!

247
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:04,063
Celestia: (amused) One other thing, Twilight.

248
00:15:04,626 --> 00:15:06,065
Filly Twilight: More? (crash)

249
00:15:10,315 --> 00:15:11,080
My cutie mark!

250
00:15:11,801 --> 00:15:15,028
(ecstatic) Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes...

251
00:15:15,284 --> 00:15:18,091
Twilight: (continuing from flashback) ...yesyesyesyes...
Applebloom: Okay, okay!
Sweetie Belle: We're happy for you, Twilight.

252
00:15:18,906 --> 00:15:22,011
(Twilight continues)
Scootaloo: Yeah, thrilled! (under breath) Let's get 
 out of here while we still can.

253
00:15:22,111 --> 00:15:24,085
Twilight: ...yesyesyes, YEEEEEES!

254
00:15:29,727 --> 00:15:31,063
Male pony: Uh...you okay?

255
00:15:31,631 --> 00:15:35,011
Twilight: (giggles nervously) Um...yes.

256
00:15:35,114 --> 00:15:39,011
(motor revving noises)

257
00:15:39,108 --> 00:15:42,054
Scootaloo: Ugh, why don't we EVER smash into Rainbow Dash?

258
00:15:42,544 --> 00:15:44,012
Pinkie Pie: You're looking for Rainbow Dash?

259
00:15:44,123 --> 00:15:47,056
If I was her, I'd be at Sugarcube Corner!

260
00:15:47,056 --> 00:15:49,093
Of course, if I was anyone, I'd be at Sugarcube Corner!

261
00:15:49,928 --> 00:15:53,050
Hey! I have an idea! Wanna go to Sugarcube Corner?!

262
00:15:54,758 --> 00:15:58,098
Sweetie Belle: Well, we're sort of looking for Rainbow Dash so 
 we can hear how she got her cutie mark.

263
00:15:58,984 --> 00:16:02,010
Pinkie Pie: Cutie mark?! Come with me and 
 I'll tell you how I got mine!

264
00:16:02,096 --> 00:16:04,046
Scootaloo: (resigned groan) Why not?

265
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:06,016
Pinkie Pie: All RIGHT!

266
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:09,055
(flashback)
Pinkie Pie: (voice-over) My sisters and I were 
 raised on a rock farm outside Ponyville.

267
00:16:09,549 --> 00:16:15,049
We spent our days working the fields. There was 
 no talking. There was no smiling. (sighs)

268
00:16:15,494 --> 00:16:17,016
There were only rocks.

269
00:16:19,627 --> 00:16:24,050
We were in the south field, preparing to rotate the rocks 
 to the east field, when all of a sudden...

270
00:16:24,503 --> 00:16:30,086
(distant explosion, air whooshes past)

271
00:16:33,466 --> 00:16:40,008
I'd never felt joy like that before. It felt so 
 good, I just wanted to keep smiling forever!

272
00:16:40,085 --> 00:16:45,006
And I wanted everyone I knew to smile, too, 
 but rainbows don't come along that often.

273
00:16:45,633 --> 00:16:48,001
I wondered, "How else could I create some smiles?"

274
00:16:52,506 --> 00:16:57,002
(rooster crows)
Mr. Pie: We'd better harvest the rocks from the south field.

275
00:16:57,243 --> 00:17:01,007
(loud band music)
Mrs. Pie: (sternly) Pinkamena Diane Pie, is that you?!

276
00:17:01,748 --> 00:17:05,005
Filly Pinkie Pie: Mom! I need you and dad 
 and the sisters to come in here, quick!

277
00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:15,000
SURPRISE!

278
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:17,005
You like it?! It's called...a party!

279
00:17:17,537 --> 00:17:19,009
(party blower blows, Pinkie's family gasps)

280
00:17:22,622 --> 00:17:27,003
(ponies' lips quivering)

281
00:17:27,313 --> 00:17:30,009
(crestfallen) Oh...you don't like it...

282
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,009
(gasps) You like it! I'm so happy!

283
00:17:44,217 --> 00:17:46,009
Pinkie Pie: And that's how Equestria was made!

284
00:17:46,864 --> 00:17:48,009
Scootaloo: (brakes squeal) Wha...huh?!

285
00:17:48,861 --> 00:17:50,003
Applebloom: Look! We're here!

286
00:17:50,347 --> 00:17:54,007
Pinkie Pie: Maybe on the way home, I can tell you the 
 story of how I got my cutie mark! It's a gem.

287
00:17:54,712 --> 00:17:59,003
Sweetie Belle: Oh, come on. She's just being Pinkie Pie.

288
00:17:59,031 --> 00:18:00,007
(Scootaloo sighs)

289
00:18:03,954 --> 00:18:06,002
Scootaloo: Rainbow Dash! You're here!

290
00:18:06,162 --> 00:18:10,001
Rainbow Dash: (smugly) I hear YOU'RE looking for my cutie mark story?

291
00:18:10,084 --> 00:18:15,004
Scootaloo: (sighs) You have NO idea what I've 
 been through today to hear that story!

292
00:18:15,378 --> 00:18:19,003
Rainbow Dash: It all happened during the race at Flight Camp...
(flashback)

293
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:23,007
Rainbow Dash: (voice-over) ...where I stood alone, against all odds, to defend Fluttershy's honor.

294
00:18:23,691 --> 00:18:26,006
(Rainbow Dash snorts)

295
00:18:36,833 --> 00:18:40,000
(Fluttershy yelps repeatedly)

296
00:18:44,867 --> 00:18:47,007
(Dumbbell crashes softly into cloud column)

297
00:18:47,747 --> 00:18:50,008
Rainbow Dash: (voice-over) I'd never flown like THAT before.

298
00:18:50,812 --> 00:18:54,001
The freedom was unlike anything I'd ever felt.

299
00:18:54,063 --> 00:18:56,008
(excited prattle) The speed, the adrenaline, the wind in my mane...

300
00:18:56,849 --> 00:19:00,001
I liked it...a lot.

301
00:19:00,053 --> 00:19:02,000
(Rainbow Dash yelps)

302
00:19:01,957 --> 00:19:04,008
Colt Hoops: Heh! Later, Rainbow Crash!

303
00:19:04,813 --> 00:19:07,000
Filly Rainbow Dash: Hey!

304
00:19:06,095 --> 00:19:10,001
Rainbow Dash: (voice-over) Turns out the only thing I liked more than flying fast...

305
00:19:10,061 --> 00:19:13,005
(Rainbow Dash whooshes past, Hoops screams)
...was WINNING!

306
00:19:13,451 --> 00:19:18,001
(air screaming)

307
00:19:18,142 --> 00:19:23,003
(Sonic Rainboom)
Most people thought that the Sonic Rainboom was just an old mare's tale.

308
00:19:23,297 --> 00:19:26,001
But that day, the day I discovered racing,

309
00:19:26,129 --> 00:19:31,008
I proved that the legends were true. I made the impossible happen!

310
00:19:31,795 --> 00:19:36,000
(ponies cheer)

311
00:19:42,523 --> 00:19:46,008
Rainbow Dash: (smugly) And THAT, little ones, is how you earn a cutie mark.

312
00:19:46,842 --> 00:19:49,007
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Whooooa....
Fluttershy: Wait a second.

313
00:19:49,674 --> 00:19:51,006
I heard that explosion.

314
00:19:51,578 --> 00:19:53,005
And I saw the rainbow, too!

315
00:19:53,529 --> 00:19:59,002
Rainbow Dash, if you hadn't scared the animals, I never would have 
 learned I could communicate with them and gotten my cutie mark!

316
00:19:59,241 --> 00:20:03,000
Pinkie Pie: I heard that boom! And right afterwards, there 
 was an amazing rainbow that taught me to smile!

317
00:20:02,956 --> 00:20:06,008
Applejack: When I got my cutie mark, I 
 saw a rainbow that pointed me home.

318
00:20:06,811 --> 00:20:09,008
I bet it was your Sonic Rainboom!

319
00:20:09,783 --> 00:20:13,005
Rarity: There was an explosion I could never 
 explain when I got my cutie mark!

320
00:20:13,498 --> 00:20:19,002
Twilight: This is uncanny! If that explosion didn't happen when 
 it did, I would've blown my entrance exam!

321
00:20:19,021 --> 00:20:22,006
Rainbow Dash, I think you helped me earn MY cutie mark, too!

322
00:20:22,006 --> 00:20:27,002
(Rainbow Dash grunts)
Pinkie Pie: We ALL owe our cutie marks to YOU!

323
00:20:27,151 --> 00:20:29,003
Fluttershy: Do you realize what this means?

324
00:20:29,334 --> 00:20:32,005
All of us had a special connection before we even met!

325
00:20:32,538 --> 00:20:36,003
Rarity: We've been BFF's forever and we didn't even know it!

326
00:20:36,346 --> 00:20:37,008
Applejack: Come here, y'all.

327
00:20:37,833 --> 00:20:42,001
(ponies voicing mutual affection)

328
00:20:42,105 --> 00:20:45,004
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle: Aww!
Scootaloo: EWW!

329
00:20:45,403 --> 00:20:49,009
Scootaloo: Give me a break! Come on, Crusaders! Maybe 
 we just need to try zip-lining again.

330
00:20:49,907 --> 00:20:52,004
(Scootaloo grunts, sighs wearily)

331
00:20:52,415 --> 00:20:54,009
Fluttershy: Hey! How about a song?

332
00:20:54,922 --> 00:21:00,006
(ponies agreeing)
Scootaloo: (echoing) NOOOOOOOOOO!

333
00:21:00,635 --> 00:21:02,005
Twilight: (voice-over) "Dear Princess Celestia,

334
00:21:02,539 --> 00:21:04,006
Today I learned something amazing.

335
00:21:04,582 --> 00:21:10,006
Everypony everywhere has a special magical connection with her 
 friends, maybe even before she's met them.

336
00:21:10,573 --> 00:21:16,000
If you're feeling lonely and you're still searching for your 
 true friends, just look up in the sky.

337
00:21:16,006 --> 00:21:21,003
Who knows? Maybe you and your future best friends 
 are all looking at the same rainbow!"

338
00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:25,003
Spike: Gross! When did YOU get so cheesy?

339
00:21:25,294 --> 00:21:27,001
Twilight: Just write it, Spike.

340
00:21:30,495 --> 00:21:32,006
(ending theme begins) My Little Pony

341
00:21:34,721 --> 00:21:36,007
My Little Pony

342
00:21:39,087 --> 00:21:47,007
(instrumental)

343
00:21:47,678 --> 00:21:54,000
My Little Pony, friends
