Herd Happily live at the Sportacular Spectacular,
providing an exclusive look at athletes,
off the field.
Hello sporty ponies!
You're all about to compete in the games,
what's the secret behind playing your best?
Uh... I pick apples.
(GASP!)
Um, I've been practicing my game face.
(WHISPERING) Can you see it?
Allow me to speak for my camera-shy friends.
Each of us has been training sportacularly hard
Applejack's for this spectacular event and can't wait to compete.
Applejack's been training in her orchard to reach peak physique.
Twilight keeps stats to track how she's doing on the field.
And Fluttershy's devised a pump up routine
to get into the competitive spirit!
(FIGHTING NOISES)
Wow. And what about you?
What event can we look forward to seeing you perform in?
Moi? Oh, ha-ha!
While I do enjoy being center stage,
athletics is not my forte.
You can catch her at fencing later!
Oh darling, the only time you'll catch me with a foil
is when I'm dyeing my mane.
But you're a pro! You said so yourself!
Dearest Dash, that resume is for stage combat,
not hoof to hoof athletics!
What have you signed me up for?!
See, champion fainter, right here.
She can also cry on cue.
Me, too. Back to you, Karen.
I'm sorry Rarity. All the rest of us have signed up
for games and I didn't want you sitting out.
Oh, it's not your fault, Dash.
Even as a young filly,
sports were never in the cue cards for me.
Although I did once attend a Basket Ball...
I brought my finest basket expecting a splendid affair.
But instead of dancing...
Everypony was just running back and forth
throwing a ball into bottomless baskets.
I couldn't keep up at all.
It was positively dreadful,
and ever since then, I swore only to attend
basket galas and soirées.
I'm sure there's an activity for you.
This is the Sportacular Spectacular!
There's something for everypony here,
even indoor ponies.
Well lookie here Rarity, how about rhythmic trampolining?
The only bounce I want is in my curls.
Then how about... curling?
Oh, pfft. Unless it involves my mane, no thank you.
Ooo, this one's artistic...
PINKIE PIE: Cloud gymnastics!
The humidity, darling!
This one will do!
Freestyle Debate Ribbon Pinning?
It's pure perfection. It combines two of my loves,
oration and decoration.
This calls for a celebration!
(RARITY GASPS)
"Freestyle Debate Ribbon Pinning has been cancelled due to...
lack of interest?"
But this was it, my ideal event.
It was perfect for me!
We can keep looking, Rarity!
There's bound to be another event here for you.
Do not fret for me, Equestrians.
The truth is, this is not the end of my story.
I shall find a place within it, no matter what!
- Wow! (ENCOURAGING NOISES)
(DING!)
That's it! I know what I can do at the Sportacular Spectacular!
Use my strongest muscle of all.
How would you describe the Sportacular Spectacular?
(ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
The DJ doesn't speak. Allow me...
DJ, what events are you mixing while you are here?
RARITY: Disco discus. Should be a...groovy game.
Oh! She's a natural.
Thank you for saving my interview.
It was my pleasure.
Interview saving is one of my resume skills.
In fact, it seems I'm perfectly qualified
to join you as co-lead.
It's called a co-anchor.
Oh! So I got the part!
You "herd" it here first.
A pony never arrives unprepared.
Well there's plenty more where that came from
here at the Sportacular Spectacular.
I'm Herd Happily.
And I'm Rarity, coming to you live.
Back to you, Karen.
Uh thanks, Rarity. In entertainment news,
Finn Tastic's new summer blockbuster is making a splash,
but it's this reporter's opinion
that Roger the Singing Dolphin 2: Roger Sings Again,
doesn't have nearly enough singing.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)
I can't believe how much fun the Sportacular Spectacular is!
Agree, darling! I don't know if you've noticed,
but I'm not the sportiest of ponies,
and even I'm having a great time!
I'll say! It's always good to get outside
and today is no exception!
It's not just being outside that's been so great!
It's being able to do so much stuff together with all of you,
my best friends!
Um... Earth to Dash?
I'm having a friendship flashbaack!
(HAPPY MUSIC)
(GIGGLING)
Yeah! You can do it!
RAINBOW DASH: Yeah!! Spooorts!
(CHEERING, LAUGHING)
PA SPEAKER VOICE: All ponies to the arena for Buckball!
Flashback over! We're on a tight schedule!
PA SPEAKER VOICE: I repeat! All ponies to the arena
for Buckball!
Let's do this!
- We're gonna win! - We got 'em!
We're gonna pulverize 'em into tiny,
itty bitty little pieces! (PONIES GASP)
Oh, I took it too far.
Game time!
(EXCITED CHEERING)
Hey there ponies, line up on the grass
and count off to determine teams.
Oh, ref, maybe you don't understand!
We're The Mane 6.
♪
We're kind of already a team.
Yeah, a team of best friends!
Who are gonna pummel the competition!
Uh, save it for the field.
Love the enthusiasm.
Line up on the grass with the other players and count off.
We got a game to play!
Huh?
(MUNCHING)
♪
Oh, no!
I thought we'd automatically be on the same team!
Well, me too. This is not what I had in mind at all.
I don't want to compete against you five!
I barely wanted to play in the first place!
But I was excited...
to be on a team with my besties...
I agree with you.
This is not how I thought the game would go down.
Ahem...!
I'm clearing my throat for emphasis.
JUST A MOMENT! Emergency huddle.
Okay ponies. They're having us count off
but I've got a plan: we'll line up next to each other,
they'll split the group in two,
and we'll face off against the other six--
AND CLEAN THE GRASS WITH THEM!
Hmmm. The grass already looks pretty clean, though.
You know they have to keep it cut to regulation.
It was a figure of speech, darling.
Even I know that and I'm out on the grass as little as possible.
Okay, okay! Everypony, we're gonna get out of this huddle
and say "break" to prove that we all understand
what's happening, okay? - (GRUNTS OF AGREEMENT)
Now let's get out there, line up next to each other,
and get on the same team, ready?
MANE 6: Break! FLUTTERSHY: Break their spirits!
Okay ponies. Count off!
Count off? I think you mean split down the middle.
No, count off one-two-one-two.
- Gah! Emergency huddle. REFEREE: No!
You've used your allotted huddle.
I hate to admit it, but he's right.
(THUD!)
- It's here in the rulebook. (PONIES GROAN)
- One. - Two.
(PONIES SIGH)
(FIREWORKS SHOOTING)
♪
(GROANING)
We have our teams facing off
in today's Sportacular Spectacular
Mane Event--
pun intended.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
♪
We're gonna crush 'em!
I don't want to hurt them!
- We're gonna destroy 'em! - But they're our friends!
BOTH: We're gonna pulverize 'em
into tiny little itty bitty pieces!
Well that's what I said, but-- but-
(WHISPERING) But then I changed my mind!
This isn't what friendship is all about!
I don't wanna do this!
I don't either!
It's game time, folks.
