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.

REPLACE THAT SAGGY, OLD HIP.

ABOUT THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA?

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...

I WOULD DRAW THEIR ATTENTION
WITH MY SUPER-SPEED STRUT.

THE WONDERBOLTS WOULD INSIST
THAT MY SIGNATURE MOVES BE

AND THEN...

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

[ BOTH GRUNTING ]

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 ]
[ 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 ]

OH, YOU'RE SIMPLY DARLING!

ISN'T IT?
AND YOU!
OH, SPIKE, I HAVE
A DANDY LITTLE OUTFIT
FOR THE DASHING GENT.

PART OF THIS GIRLY GALA GUNK.
SEE YOU BACK AT THE LIBRARY.

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.
