Thank you! Merci!
Gracias!
Great rehearsal. Tomorrow night will be a piece of cake!
A "piece of cake?"
A "piece of cake" was grammar school.
A "piece of cake" was the last thing I ate
and it was divine. No-- this is live theater.
Anything is possible.
- Give us examples. - You could forget your lines.
The lights could fall.
Worst of all: you could get stage fright!
(SCARED NOISES)
Out of curiosity,
what does stage fright feel like?
Your legs shake. Your knees buckle.
Your mouth gets dry.
Eep...!
Well that plum explains it.
I've got stage fright!
I have the most superb solution.
More cake?! I'm pretty hungry.
Tonight I'm throwing a De-Stress Ball.
It's what we actors do the night before an opening night.
We chill out, get our zen on,
and make all the colly-wobbles and worries go away.
This'll cure your problem for sure, Applejack!
Gah!
Prepare... to De-Stress!
RARITY: Bean bags for your bottom.
Candles for your comfort.
And treats for your tummies.
Eep! Is that... peppermint popcorn?
Peppermint is a natural calmer.
Yum.
But I-- I still got the fright.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
I wonder who that could be?!
(WHISPERING) I know who it is!
Friends! Allow me to introduce:
Chamomilia.
She will be guiding us in relaxation techniques.
Sweet child, I'm glad you called me.
There's stage fright in this room.
(THUNDER AND LIGHTNING CRASHING)
Lets get down to business.
Find your chill zone.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in, and hold it...
(DEEP INHALES)
Hold it, hold it...
(STRUGGLING NOISES)
Hold it, what is that?!
(SATISFIED MUNCHING)
(STRUGGLING NOISES)
(STRUGGLE NOISES)
(EFFORT GROANS)
We need to breathe, Chammie.
And exhale slooowly out.
(EXASPERATED BREATHING)
Wasn't that relaxing?
Now, picture yourself
on stage tomorrow night...
all of your friends and family watching you
from their seats.
See how proud they are of you.
Hey-- I reckon I'm feeling better!
CHAMOMILIA: See how disappointed they would be
if you forgot your lines.
(PANICKED BREATHING)
(AUDIENCE BOOING)
I reckon I spoke too soon!
I know you worry about tripping on stage
in front of everypony.
But that wont happen. Will it?
And everypony open your eyes.
See... isn't that better?
Oh! I think I've got stage fright.
It's all I can think about. It's contagious!
- I think I've got it too! - Now I got it!
Me too!
(STOPWATCH BEEPS) That's my time.
Afraid I need to go home, watch my stories, and knit.
I knit now.
(GASP)
Ill send you an invoice, Rarity.
(FRANTIC NOISES)
Aaaahhh!
- Waaahhhh! - (DEEP SIGH)
What's gotten into you?
That's just the thing.
Nothing's gotten into me, something's left me!
- I lost my stage fright! - How'd you do that?
Please tell us!
I need this bewitching brain spell gone.
It's the funniest dog gone thing.
Now that everyponys got stage fright,
I feel less alone.
And that's what being in a cast is all about, right?
You speak the truth.
The only way we get over our joint stage fright
is to do our show tomorrow.
And I'm golly-gee determined to go on stage
tomorrow with all of my best friends.
Hey, I'm relaxed again!
Hmm, I am too!
Explains the smell.
You saved opening night, Applejack!
It was your De-Stress Ball, Rarity.
- It worked its magic. - It really did.
Now, actors -- picture it:
the theater gets dark, the curtain goes up,
a spotlight shines on... us!
Showtime!

Ooh, darling, you're pitchy.
- You're pitchy! - Let me know when you're done.
This highfalutin' updo won't stay up!
My character cant have a down-do!
Twilight, your prop list spreadsheet is flawless!
Its every single item used in the show, organized perfectly!
Thanks Pinkie! I really wanted to make sure
I got it right so the play can go off without a hitch.
I included everything!
Almost everything.
Technically, this tablet is a prop.
Well, scroll down to the very bottom...
PINKIE PIE: There it is!
Everything goes in the spreadsheet! Along with:
Apples, a frying pan, a mirror, an old bucket,
this calculator, some pizza, a wheelbarrow,
an iced tea pitcher, a dozen squishy cube things--
PINKIE PIE: PLACES, THANK YOU, PLACES!
Oops. Time to go!
You ponies are the greatest to ever grace the stage,
and I KNOW about greatness.

Annnnd, showtime!
Huh! It is cold out there.
Dang near freezing!
It is cold in here too.
It has been cold in here for years.
You want heat? You want HEAT?
What do we look like, BILLIONAIRES!?
Ooh!
(GIGGLING)
- Yes! - Yay!
(ZAPPING)
What's happening?
Uh, did we hook up the stage lights wrong?
Should I go try to fix it?
You say you want heat?
We cant even keep the lights on around here!
(NERVOUS LAUGHTER)
(LAUGHING) - What a pro!
Sometimes I feel like I want to gallop
far, far away from all of this, you know?
Just gettin' out of this here town
and havin' a history hoedown--
(EXCITED LAUGHTER)
Uhh...
There's nothing here for me anymore.
- Huh? - ... Huh?
Its like outgrowing an old coat.
You want to put it on again,
but it just doesn't fit the same way anymore...
so you have to keep changin' your clothes...
always movin' forward.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
Oh, Id give all the stars in the solar system--
the planets, too-- to stay here!
But we've got two days to leave.
(AUDIENCE GASPS, SOBS)
But, but this is our home.
What will become of us?
(LAUGHTER)
I didn't do that. Two days, huh?
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
Psst, follow my lead.
What will become of us?
Nowhere to live,
nothing to hold on to!
Its like... its like all the things we hold dear
in this world are just... going away!
