PINKIE PIE: Get 'em while they're hot and tasty!
New glittery treats featuring cosmic cotton candy crystals!
Straight from the oven and--
--into your mouths!
(EXCITED SQUEALS)
I dare say dear girl, these cupcakes are so good,
I think I need to lie down.
I'm gonna spend the whole day baking new treats.
And you'll be my taste-testing team!
There's literally nothing that can come between
me and my baking!
(GASPS)
I reckon' you spoke too soon, Pinkie.
Somethin's out there blockin' the sun.
(GASP!) Maybe it's another cosmic event!
Ehm...
I have no idea what in Equestria it could be!
It's a mysterious manescratcher.
(OMINOUS SCREECHING)
(SCARED GASPS)
It looks like something's inside!
Are any of you... scared?!
Yes! Here we go again...
Should we follow that squirrel?
- Why would we do that? - I don't know! I panicked!
We should wait and see what happens. And in the meantime,
we can study this giant balloon... airship?
I don't know if it's my nerves or the phrase
giant balloon airship
but every time I think about what's inside that thingy,
my thoughts go from sweet to sour!
Is anypony else's imagination running wild?
(SCARED SHUDDERING)
Aaand start fantasy sequence montage!
PINKIE PIE: There could be more rare baking ingredients inside!
(EXCITED SQUEALING)
Stuff me full of cookies, that's chocolate lava!
Ohh the scorching s'mores I could make!
That's a lot of chocolate lava
coming right for me!
Rarity, what do you think it could be?
Maybe the balloon will transform into a stage!
Ponies will gather from far and wide
to watch me perform my one-pony show: "Lambilton".
I play a little a lamb who transforms the world
through song and ilamb-ic pentameter!
(SINGING) I want to be in the loom where wool happens,
the loom where wool ha-- (SPLAT!)
Didn't expect a pelting.
Get it? A pelt-ing?
(SPLAT!) Ok! I'll see myself out.
Or the balloon could be a giant library
containing all the information in the universe!
What I would give to be inside with all those books!
(RUMBLING)
A reading light would be nice.
Maybe it's a Balloon Monster.
Maybe it's Balloongore, The Destroyer!
Behold, I am Balloongore!!
All ponies bow before--
wait, Balloongore? My name's Balloongore?
Eh, I'm not good with names...
But I am good with manes!
(EVIL LAUGHTER)
Quick! Who's next?!
Maybe the balloon is full of apples?
Ooh-wee!
(EXCITED LAUGHTER)
Even I know that's too many apples!
Aaahhh!
This fantasy feels familiar.
End montage! End montage!
Maybe all of those things will happen.
Or none of them.
Honestly, I'm okay with waiting to find out.
You're not scared?
It could be any of those things!
That's, well, it's... scary!
Am I curious about the giant, mysterious, hovering, glowing
airship balloon that none of us have any idea
what it could be or what will happen next because of it
being here all of a sudden? - Exactly!
But that doesn't mean we should jump
to the worst-case scenario!
Everypony take a deep breath.
(DEEP EXHALING)
Repeat after me: The unknown is not scary.
MANE 6: The unknown is not--
(YELPS)
By my calculations, I think this balloon--
I mean, these balloons--
are somehow related to the cosmic event
of the Cotton Candy Comet!
What makes you say that, Twi?
(MANE 6 GASPS OF AWE)
Yep, story checks out. Pinkie, you look nervous.
I feel it!
The unknown is not scary.
The unknown is not scary!
In a way, it's actually kind of exciting.
'Cuz we'll figure it out together! Right?
(NERVOUS AGREEMENT)
Oh oh! Cliffhanger!
♪
(EXCITED SQUEALS)
Pinkie darling, I know this taste test is a big deal...
but do you think you might be overdoing it
on the streamers just a teensy bit?
Nope! A dessert like my splendiferous cupcakes
deserves double the sweetness, triple the decorations,
and quadruple the taste-testers!
Speaking of-- where are they?
You're right! Everypony's... LATE!
They promised that they'd be here fifteen sprinkles ago!
For maximum effect, the cupcakes need to be tasted
right at four o clock!
I'm sure they have a good reason--
Even so-- I can't wait!
Hurry Rarity-- you have to try one right now!
(RARITY STAMMERING) - Well...what do you think?
Too much sugar?
No, no...erm...
It's the perfect amount of sugar!
They're absolutely delectable, Pinkie!
Just... divine!
Yahoo!

♪
Oh no! Two sprinkles past four!
Did we miss it?
Yes, yes you did.
- We're sorry! - My bad!
Oopsies.
Honestly, I just plum forgot it was Thursday!
Sorry, Pinkie.
Well I have a good reason...
I was super-focused on conducting a complex experiment
and I completely lost track of time!
And I'd just placed first in a winglifting competition.
They'd just given me my trophy when..!
As for me, I was hosting a bountiful bunny brunch
for Angel and his buddies!
Oh my! Oh!
But! I brought you this!
What a unique apology gift.
Thanks Fluttershy!
There was a tiara inside?!
Wow, all of a sudden...
I feel a strong urge to tell you ponies that...
...I love Brussels sprouts! (SHOCKED GASPS)
Woah.
I think that tiara might have some magical properties!
Do you mind if I try it on Pinkie?
Sure I--
I wasn't late because I was conducting an experiment!
I was...
painting lawn gnome ponies!
It's my secret hobby!
I've never told anypony that before!
Just as I suspected!
This tiara makes the pony who wears it...
tell the truth! - Coooool! My turn!
I am the most awesome pony I know!
Hey, it works.
Why were you late today?
Truth is, was gonna compete,
but the new Daring Do book was just way too unputdownable!
(AWKWARD LAUGHTER)
Okay, fine.
I was on my sixth attempt at making Angel Bunny
an acceptable lunch. - (MANE 6 GASP)
I plum forgot it was Thursday!
Told ya. I cannot tell a lie!
Is it my turn? I need a mirror!
I'm going to need to see how I--
Look, Pinkie Pie-- your cupcakes are too sweet!
Just inedible! I can't imagine a single pony would
enjoy them in all of Ponyville!
(SHOCKED GASPS)
Ohh...Then why did you say they were divine?
Oh, I suppose I was just trying to spare your feelings.
Well, spare me any more thoughts!
♪
(SAD WHIMPER)
The truthiest truth is--
I'm sorry, Pinkie.
We all are!
And well... I only lied because I don't want to hurt
anypony's feelings!
Especially those of my best friends'...
PINKIE PIE: It's okay.
But in the future we should all take a lesson from Applejack
and be a little more honest with each other!
Startiiing... now!
Honestly? I still wanna to try your new cupcakes!
Wah-ha-hoo!

Now tell me what you really think!
