THANK YOU KINDLY, TWILIGHT, FOR HELPING ME OUT.
NO. NO. I BET BIG MACINTOSH I COULD GET
ALL THESE GOLDEN DELICIOUS IN THE BARN BY LUNCHTIME. NO.
IF I WIN, HE'S GONNA WALK DOWN STIRRUP STREET... NOPE. NO.
...IN ONE OF GRANNY'S GIRDLES. NO.
[ LAUGHS ]
NO PROBLEM AT ALL, APPLEJACK.
I'M GLAD THE GOAL IS LUNCHTIME.
ALL THIS HARD WORK IS MAKING ME HUNGRY.

WOW! GREAT!
I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE GALA. HAVE YOU, SPIKE?
NO.
AND I PLAN TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
I DON'T WANT ANY OF THAT GIRLY, FRILLY, FROUFROU NONSENSE.
AW, COME ON, SPIKE. A DANCE WOULD BE NICE.
NICE?
IT'S A HEAP GOOD MORE THAN JUST NICE.
I'D LOVE TO GO.
LAND'S SAKES!
IF I HAD AN APPLE STAND SET UP,
PONIES WOULD CHAWING OUR TASTY VITTLES
TILL THE COWS CAME HOME.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW MUCH BUSINESS I COULD DRUM UP FOR SWEET APPLE ACRES?
WHY, WITH ALL THAT MONEY,
WE COULD DO A HEAP OF FIXIN' UP 'ROUND HERE.
WE COULD REPLACE THAT SAGGY, OLD ROOF.
[ POOF! ]
AND BIG MACKINTOSH COULD REPLACE THAT SAGGY, OLD PLOW.
[ POOF! ]
AND GRANNY SMITH COULD REPLACE THAT SAGGY, OLD HIP.
[ POOF! ]
[ UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS ]
WHY, I'D GIVE MY LEFT HIND LEG TO GO TO THAT GALA.
OH. WELL, IN THAT CASE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO --
WHOA!
[ GRUNTS ]
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA?
RAINBOW DASH!
YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE TOO BUSY TO HELP ME HARVEST APPLES.
WHAT WERE YOU BUSY DOING? SPYING?
NO. I WAS BUSY...
NAPPING.
AND I JUST HAPPENED TO HEAR THAT YOU HAVE AN EXTRA TICKET?
YEAH, BUT -- YES!
THIS IS SO AWESOME!
THE WONDERBOLTS PERFORM
AT THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA EVERY YEAR!
I CAN SEE IT NOW.
[ HARP MUSIC PLAYS ]
EVERYONE WOULD BE WATCHING THE SKY,
THEIR EYES RIVETED ON THE WONDERBOLTS.
BUT THEN, IN WOULD FLY...
RAINBOW DASH!
[ CROWD GASPING ]
I WOULD DRAW THEIR ATTENTION
WITH MY SUPER-SPEED STRUT.
[ CHEERING ]
THEN I WOULD MESMERIZE THEM
WITH MY FANTASTIC FILLY FLASH!
AND FOR MY GRAND FINALE, THE BUCCANEER BLAZE.
[ ZAP! ]
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
THE PONIES WOULD GO WILD!
THE WONDERBOLTS WOULD INSIST
THAT MY SIGNATURE MOVES BE INCORPORATED INTO THEIR ROUTINE
AND THEN...
WELCOME ME AS THEIR NEWEST MEMBER.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLES ]
DON'T YOU SEE, TWILIGHT?
THIS COULD BE MY ONE CHANCE TO SHOW 'EM MY STUFF.
YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE ME!
HOLD ON JUST ONE PONY-PICKIN' MINUTE HERE.
[ SPITS ]
I ASKED FOR THAT TICKET FIRST.
SO? THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU OWN IT.
OH, YEAH? WELL, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A HOOF WRESTLE.
WINNER GETS THE TICKET.
[ ZIP! ZIP! ]
[ BOTH GRUNTING ]
GIRLS! THESE ARE MY TICKETS.
I'LL DECIDE WHO GETS IT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WHOEVER HAS THE BEST REASON TO GO SHOULD GET THE TICKET,
DON'T YOU THINK?
DRUMMING UP BUSINESS FOR THE FARM?
A CHANCE TO AUDITION FOR THE WONDERBOLTS?
MONEY TO FIX GRANNY'S HIP.

OH, MY.
THOSE ARE ALL PRETTY GOOD REASONS, AREN'T THEY?

[ ZIP! ZIP! ]
[ BOTH GRUNTING ]
COME ON!
SO, WHO ARE YOU GONNA GIVE THE TICKET TO, TWILIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW, SPIKE,
BUT I REALLY CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT WHEN I'M HUNGRY.
SO, WHERE SHOULD WE EAT?
[ THUD! ]
AAH! BATS! BATS ON MY FACE!
HELP! WAIT!
THESE AREN'T...
TICKETS TO THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA?!

UM, ACTUALLY...
[ GASPS ]
ARE THESE WHAT I THINK THEY ARE?
UH... YES! YES! YES!
TWILIGHT'S TAKING ME
TO THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA IN CANTERLOT!
THE GALA?
I DESIGN ENSEMBLES FOR THE GALA EVERY YEAR.
BUT I'VE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND.
OH, THE SOCIETY, THE CULTURE, THE GLAMOUR.
IT'S WHERE I TRULY BELONG [GIGGLES]
AND WHERE I'M DESTINED TO MEET HIM!
HIM!
WHO?
HIM.
I WOULD STROLL THROUGH THE GALA,
AND EVERYONE WOULD WONDER, "WHO IS THAT MYSTERIOUS MARE?"
THEY WOULD NEVER GUESS
THAT I WAS JUST A SIMPLE PONY FROM LITTLE OLD PONYVILLE.
WHY, I WOULD CAUSE SUCH A SENSATION
THAT I WOULD BE INVITED FOR AN AUDIENCE
WITH PRINCESS CELESTIA HERSELF.
AND THE PRINCESS WOULD BE SO TAKEN
WITH THE STYLE AND ELEGANCE
THAT SHE WOULD INTRODUCE ME TO HIM!
HER NEPHEW...
THE MOST HANDSOME, ELIGIBLE UNICORN STALLION IN CANTERLOT!
OUR EYES WOULD MEET.
OUR HEARTS WOULD MELT.
OUR COURTSHIP WOULD BE MAGNIFICENT.
HE WOULD ASK FOR MY HOOF IN MARRIAGE.
AND, OF COURSE, I WOULD SAY, "YES!!"
WE WOULD HAVE A ROYAL WEDDING, BEFITTING A PRINCESS,
WHICH IS [GIGGLES] WHAT I WOULD BECOME UPON MARRYING HIM,
THE STALLION OF MY DREAMS!
TWILIGHT!
I SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE
YOU WOULD INVITE PINKIE PIE SO SHE CAN PARTY
AND PREVENT ME FROM MEETING MY TRUE LOVE.
HOW COULD YOU?
HMPH!
Spike: HEY!
[ GASPS ] ANGEL, THESE ARE PERFECT.
UH, LISTEN, GUYS,
I HAVEN'T DECIDED WHO TO GIVE THE EXTRA TICKET TO.
YOU HAVEN'T?!YOU HAVEN'T?!
UM, EXCUSE ME, TWILIGHT,
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK --
I MEAN, IF IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT,
IF YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN IT TO SOMEONE ELSE --
YOU?! YOU WANT TO GO TO THE GALA?
OH, NO.
I-I MEAN, YES.
OR, ACTUALLY, KIND OF.
YOU SEE...
IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA
AS IT IS THE WONDROUS PRIVATE GATED GARDEN
THAT SURROUNDS THE DANCE.
THE FLOWERS ARE SAID TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND FRAGRANT
IN ALL OF EQUESTRIA.
FOR THE NIGHT OF THE GALA AND THAT NIGHT ALONE
WILL THEY ALL BE IN BLOOM.
AND THAT'S JUST THE FLORA!
DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE FAUNA.
THERE'S LOONS AND TOUCANS AND BITTERNS, OH, MY!
HUMMINGBIRDS THAT CAN REALLY HUM
AND BUZZARDS THAT CAN REALLY BUZZ!
BLUE JAYS AND RED JAYS AND GREEN JAYS,
PINK JAYS AND PINK FLAMINGOES.
[ SQUAWKS ]
GEE, FLUTTERSHY, IT SOUNDS...
BEAUTIFUL?
Rainbow Dash: WAIT JUST A MINUTE!
RAINBOW DASH! WERE YOU FOLLOWING ME?
NO. I MEAN, YES.
I MEAN, MAYBE.
LOOK, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
I COULDN'T RISK A GOODY-FOUR-SHOES LIKE YOU
GIVING THAT TICKET AWAY TO JUST ANYBODY!
WAIT JUST ANOTHER MINUTE.
APPLEJACK? WERE YOU FOLLOWING ME, TOO?
NO, I WAS FOLLOWING THIS ONE
TO MAKE SURE SHE DIDN'T TRY ANY FUNNY BUSINESS.
STILL TRYING TO TAKE MY TICKET.
YOUR TICKET?!
BUT TWILIGHT'S TAKING ME!
[ ALL ARGUING INDISTINCTLY ]
QUIET!!
AND THEN I SAID, "OATMEAL? ARE YOU CRAZ--"
OH.
GIRLS, THERE'S NO USE IN ARGUING.
BUT, TWILIGHT!
EH! THIS IS MY DECISION.
AND I'M GONNA MAKE IT ON MY OWN.
AND I CERTAINLY CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT WITH ALL THIS NOISE.
[ STOMACH GRUMBLING ]
NOT TO MENTION HUNGER.
NOW GO ON! SHOO!
[ ALL GRUMBLING ]
AND DON'T WORRY! I'LL FIGURE THIS OUT!
SOMEHOW.
AW, SPIKE, WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
ALL FIVE OF MY BEST FRIENDS HAVE REALLY GOOD REASONS
TO GO TO THE GALA.
APPLEJACK OR RAINBOW DASH?
PINKIE PIE OR FLUTTERSHY? RARITY?
OH, WHO SHOULD GO WITH ME?
[ STOMACH GRUMBLING ]
Waiter: HAVE YOU MADE YOUR DECISION?
I CAN'T DECIDE!
TWILIGHT, HE JUST WANTS TO TAKE YOUR ORDER.
OH.
I WOULD LOVE A DAFFODIL-AND-DAISY SANDWICH.
DO YOU HAVE ANY RUBIES?
NO?
OKAY. I'LL HAVE THE HAY FRIES.
EXTRA CRISPY!
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SPIKE?
I THINK WE HAVE TO TRY ANOTHER RESTAURANT.
I MEAN, I LIKE GRASS JUST FINE,
BUT WOULD IT HURT ANYBODY TO OFFER SOME GEMSTONES?
I MEAN ABOUT THE GALA AND THE TICKET AND WHO I SHOULD TAKE.
OH. YOU'RE STILL ON THAT?
SPIKE, LISTEN!
HOW DO I CHOOSE?
AND WHEN I DO CHOOSE,
WILL THE OTHER FOUR BE MAD AT ME?
I MEAN, I COULD GIVE UP MY TICKET AND GIVE AWAY TWO,
BUT THAT WOULD STILL LEAVE THREE DISAPPOINTED PONIES.
WHAT IF I -- AH, YOUR FOOD.
OH, THANK YOU. THIS LOOKS SO GOOD.
I'M SURE EVERYTHING WILL BE MUCH CLEARER ONCE I EAT.
UM, MADAM?
ARE YOU GOING TO EAT YOUR FOOD IN THE RAIN?
IT'S NOT RAINING.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
HI, THERE, BEST FRIEND FOREVER I'VE EVER, EVER HAD.
ENJOYING THE SUNNY WEATHER?
RAINBOW DASH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I JUST SAW THE SMARTEST,
MOST GENEROUS PONY ABOUT TO GET RAINED ON,
SO I THOUGHT I'D KICK A HOLE IN THE CLOUDS
TO KEEP HER DRY SO SHE COULD DINE IN PEACE, THAT'S ALL.
RAINBOW, YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO GET EXTRA CONSIDERATION
FOR THE EXTRA TICKET
BY DOING ME EXTRA-SPECIAL FAVORS, ARE YOU?
ME? NO, NO, NO.
OF COURSE NOT. UH-HUH.
SERIOUSLY, I'D DO IT FOR ANYPONY.
[ GULPS, LAUGHS NERVOUSLY ]
RAINBOW, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE ACCEPTING UNWANTED FAVORS,
SO I'D APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU'D CLOSE UP THAT RAIN CLOUD RIGHT NOW.
UGH! FINE!
[ ZIP! ]
THAT'S BETTER.
[ GROANS ]
TWILIGHT! IT'S RAINING.
NO, REALLY?
COME WITH ME BEFORE YOU CATCH A COLD!
[ WHIFFLE! WHIFFLE! WHIFFLE! ]
[ LAUGHS NERVOUSLY ] OOPS.
SORRY.
OH, NO!
IT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT!
AFTER ALL, WE ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS, ARE WE NOT?
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE BEST OF FRIENDS DO.
UH...
MAKEOVER!
[ GRUNTING ]
RARITY! OW!
THIS REALLY ISN'T NECESSARY.
I MEAN, THANK YOU, BUT -- OOH!
THAT'S TOO TIGHT!
[ HARP MUSIC PLAYS ]
THERE! OH, YOU'RE SIMPLY DARLING!
UH...
YEAH, IT IS KIND OF PRETTY, ISN'T IT?
AND YOU!
OH, SPIKE, I HAVE A DANDY LITTLE OUTFIT
FOR THE DASHING GENT.
WHOA! OUCH! OH! HEY! COME ON! WATCH IT! WHOA!
[ HARPSICHORD MUSIC PLAYS ]
OH, SPIKE. NOW YOU JUST NEED A HAT.
UGH!
I TOLD YOU, I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS GIRLY GALA GUNK.
SEE YOU BACK AT THE LIBRARY. [ ZIP! ]
[ LAUGHS NERVOUSLY ] OH, WHO NEEDS HIM ANYWAY?
THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOU
AND HOW FABULOUS YOU'LL LOOK AT THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA.
WAIT. THE GRAND --
[ GASPS ]
AND, OH, MY GOODNESS. WHAT A COINCIDENCE.
I HAPPEN TO HAVE AN ENSEMBLE OF MY OWN
THAT MATCHES YOURS TO A "T."
WE WOULD BE THE BELLES OF THE BALL, YOU AND I.
EVERYONE WOULD BE CLAMORING FOR OUR ATTENTION.
ALL EYES WOULD BE ON US.
AND THEN EVERYONE WOULD FINALLY KNOW
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, MOST TALENTED,
MOST SOPHISTICATED PONY IN ALL OF EQUESTRIA
IS RARITY THE UNICORN!
[ GIGGLES NERVOUSLY ]
AND TWILIGHT SPARKLE, OF COURSE.
[ GIGGLES NERVOUSLY ]
I SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
YOU'RE JUST BUTTERING ME UP SO I GIVE YOU THE EXTRA TICKET.
WELL, IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY DECISION
JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I'VE BEEN TRYING ALL DAY JUST TO GET SOME LUNCH!
DID SOMEPONY SAY "LUNCH"?
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
I GOT APPLE PIE, APPLE FRITTERS, APPLE TARTS,
APPLE DUMPLINGS, APPLE CRISP, APPLE CRUMBLERS,
AND APPLE BROWN BETTY!
UH, THE DESSERT, NOT MY AUNTIE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY THERE, BEST FRIEND?
[ STOMACH GRUMBLING ]
IS THAT A "YES"?
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.
IN FACT, I'M LESS SURE NOW THAN I WAS THIS MORNING!
UGH!
SO, THAT'S A "MAYBE"?
[ SIGHS ]
I NEVER THOUGHT BEING SHOWERED WITH FAVORS
WOULD BE SO AGGRAVATING!
[ HUMMING ]
[ GASPS ] FLUTTERSHY! NOT YOU, TOO!
OH! WELL, HELLO, TWILIGHT.
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND,
BUT WE'RE ALL DOING A LITTLE SPRING CLEANING FOR YOU.
IT'S SUMMER.
OH.
WELL, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, RIGHT?
IT WAS ANGEL'S IDEA.
[ SQUEAKS ]
YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS FOR THE TICKET, ARE YOU?
OH, NO!
I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE MY VERY BEST FRIEND,
RIGHT, ANGEL?
OH.
YES, WE ARE JUST DOING THIS FOR THE TICKET.
[ STOMACH GRUMBLING ]
NO! NO! NO!
WELL, THIS WAS ALL VERY NICE OF YOU AND ANGEL,
BUT I'M NOT ACCEPTING ANY EXTRA FAVORS
UNTIL I'VE MADE MY FINAL DECISION.
SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE.
