[confessing] I'm so, so sorry Rainbow Dash. I just wanted you to hang out with me and see how cool I was so you'd take me under your wing and teach me everything you know and become like my big sister. But then you started telling all those spooky stories, and I got scared! [upset] I thought I heard the Headless Horse so I ran out here by myself, and... [cries for a moment] I guess you know all the rest.
Hey, I'm gonna tell you something, but, if you ever tell anypony else, I'm gonna deny it. First time I heard those stories... [looks around] I was scared too.
[sniffling] You were?
Sure! I mean, I got over it because I realized, pretty quick, that if there was such thing as a Headless Horse, I could totally take it on. So, you're looking for somepony to take you under their wing, huh?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I might be up for something like that. [Opens her wing, takes Scootaloo under it]
Wait! If I'm not here when Rainbow Dash's letter arrives, I won't be able to read it right away, and if I don't read it right away I won't be able to write her back right away, and if I don't write her back right away, she might think I didn't get her letter and then she might worry about loss and then she's worried about her letter, she'll be distracted and if she's distracted then she won't do well in the Academy and if she doesn't do well in the Academy, then she'll get kicked out and if she gets kicked out she'll never get to be a Wonderbolt and if she never gets to be a Wonderbolt all her dreams will be crushed! And it'll be ALL. MY. FAULT!
So... in other words, you're stickin' by the mailbox.
Yup.
A hoofbump? Seriously? You made me clip my wing. You send half of our class into serious tail-spins on the obstacle course. You unleashed a tornado that nearly demolished my friends!
...Yeah. And?
And I get that you want to be the best. So do I! But you're going about it in the wrong way.
The Wonderbolts don't seem to think so. After all. Spitefire did make me the leader and you the wing pony.
[sighs] You're right. She did.
[sitting at her desk looking over file] This better be important. You're supposed to be up there busting clouds with your partner.
We're done with that, ma'am.
Already!? [looks at a clock on the wall] That's an academy record! Explain your methods.
That's why I'm here, ma'am. Lightning Dust decided to use a tornado.
A bit excessive for cloud-busting, but judging from your time, it was obviously an effective tactic.
Yeah, well that "effective tactic" nearly took out my friends!! No disrespect, ma'am, but there's a difference between pushing yourself as hard as you can and being reckless. And if being reckless gets rewarded around here, if that's what it means to be a Wonderbolt, then I don't want any part of it.
What are you saying, newbie?
[lays her wing pony badge on desk] I quit. [Spitfire stunned; leaves office, looks back fearfully]
Rainbow Dash! How dare you storm out of my office without giving me a chance to respond?! The Wonderbolts are looking for the best flyers in Equestria, but you were right. Being the best should never come at the expense of our fellow ponies. It's not just about pushing ourselves. It's about pushing ourselves in the right direction. You've shown that you're capable of doing just that. You're no wing pony, Rainbow Dash, you're a leader.
Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!
Now get out there and give me twenty!
Yes ma'am.
ASApple Split
Hey, where did all them apple fritters go? [hears chewing sounds, looks under table to find Applejack] And who are you, little one?
BABaby Applejack
I'm Appwejack! Mowe appwe fwittews? [Apple Split smiles]
[to Apple Bloom] ...and that's how we found out your sister had the appetite of a full-grown stallion!
Alrighty, ponies! Ready to have some fun?
BSBabs Seed
Whoa, is that the finish line? It's like a mile away or somethin'!
Actually, that's just the marker where you go on to the next leg of the race.
There's more?
Much more. Trust me, I have put together somethin' you are never gonna forget. After the seven-legged race you're gonna wanna hurry up and head over here, where you'll be bobbin' for apples!
[splash]
Then you'll run around these trees fifty times until you're real good and dizzy, then you'll jump these big wooden hurdles, and then there's the final leg, where you'll balance plates on your head while sayin' “Pappy pony picked a pluck of prickly pluffnuggets” over and over and over again. Last pony standin' wins!
...Seriously?
Seriously! C'mon, y'all, let's start makin' some memories! On your mark... get set... go!
How long you had those new chompers, Auntie Applesauce?
A lady never reveals the age of her teeth.
[rolling her eyes] Ugh...
Don’t you roll your eyes at me, Miss Apple Rose! I imagine you two think I have forgotten what you did to my parasol six reunions ago?
[giggles] We were just usin’ it to help break open that piñata.
AJ, Rarity, what's happening?
Applejack saved Spike's life and now he has to serve her forever.
Sweet! What are you having him do? Wash your laundry? Clean your room? Help you with your unfinished novel? Mine's about this awesome pegasus who's the best flyer ever, and becomes the captain of the Wonderbolts!
However did you come up with that ingeniously woven intricate plotline?
Just came to me.
Maybe Applejack needs help realizing what she needs help with! Like, maybe her back itches!
Huuuuh, that does feel... good...
[laughs] See? Or you might need help remembering your favorite song! [singing] The Dragon is the finest creature ever, there's more to him than just guarding treasure!
I don't think that's her favorite-
Or you might need help breathing!
Breathing? I certainly do not-
[Spike inflates Applejack with a pair of bellows. Applejack then deflates, sending Spike into a bush.]
See? There are plenty of things I can help you with, and you don't even have to trouble yourself with thinking of them.
No I'll think of them. Let me think of them.
Alright, y'all, here's the deal. Spike needs to save my life.
And you want us to shoot you out of a cannon towards a hornet's nest and give Spike a butterfly net so he can catch you mere seconds before you hit the nest and are stung by a thousand angry hornets! [puts on a moustache] I'll wear this moustache.
No. I am gonna be attacked by a timberwolf!
EEEveryone else
[gasps]
Can I still wear the moustache?
Just one question?
Yes? [Pinkie Pie's moustache re-appears] No.
Meh, suit yourself! [kicks away the net, nest and party cannon]
But I still don’t get why the Princess would be so late.
She’s bringing an important visitor. That could be part of it.
A visitor who is important and slow!
Maybe it’s somepony so terribly important, she still had many more terribly important things to do before she got here.
[tugging Twilight's tail] Maybe the visitor has a deer antler, a goat leg, a bat wing, and a snake tail!
[rolling her eyes] Yeah, right. That’s Discord.
Why in the wide wide world of Equestria would Princess Celestia bring along someone like that?
M-M-M-Maybe you should ask...her!
What’s he goin’ on about now?
Good news. Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth has agreed to take his dam apart and move it.
Well, it’s about time! My apple trees are so waterlogged, I can practically hear ’em gargle!
[Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth chatters]
But he says first you’ll have to apologize for calling him a nuisance.
Apologize?! He’s lucky I didn’t call him a varmint!
[Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth chatters angrily]
[gasps] Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth! Such language!
[Pause]
Fine, fine. I apologize.
[Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth starts taking the dam apart]
