Twilight, sugar, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you. And if it helps, I don't want the ticket anymore. You can give it to somepony else. I won't feel bad, I promise.
Me too. I feel just awful that I made you feel so awful.
And me too! It's no fun upsetting your friends!
Twilight, it was unfair of me to try to force you as I did.
Rainbow DashYES! That means the ticket is mine! [sing-song] I've got the ticket! I've got the ticket!
[ponies glare at her]
Rainbow Dash
You know, I haven't perfected my signature moves for the Wonderbolts anyway. I don't need that ticket either.
We all got so gung-ho about going to the Gala, that we couldn't see how un-gung-ho we were making you.
PPonies
We're sorry, Twilight.
Spike, take down a note. [Spike begins to write on a scroll] "Dear Princess Celestia, I've learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing a blessing. But when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty awful. So, though I appreciate the invitation, I will be returning both tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala."
If my friends can't all go, I don't want to go either!
Twilight, you don't have to do that!
Nope, I've made up my mind. Spike, you can send the letter now!
[Spike opens the window and breathes his green fire on the letter, sending it to the Princess]
Now you won't get to go to the Gala either.
It's OK, girls. I couldn't possibly enjoy myself without my best friends there with me. [Twilight's friends embrace her] So, I'd rather not go at all.
TTwilight
Welcome, everypony! Today we are here to honor a pony we can always count on to help in matters great and small. A pony whose contributions to-
Rainbow Dash
[flies in] Did you see Applejack's slick moves out there? What an athlete! This week she's gonna help me with my new flying trick, and I know, it's gonna be so awesome!
TTwilight
[pushes her away] Exactly. And-
[pops up behind the podium] This week, I get to run Sugarcube Corner for the first time.
TTwilight
What does that have to do with Applejack?
[awkward pause] Oh, Applejack, one of the best bakers ever is gonna help me! Applejack makes everything great, so free samples for everypony!
TTwilight
Okay... that's great. Now if I could just make a point without being inter-
Twilight, I'm so sorry, but I just wanted to mention that Applejack is also helping me this week with the official bunny census, where we count up all the new baby bunnies that were born this season. She's gonna help gather them using her wonderful herding skills. [slides away]
Anyone else? Anyone? No? Well then, as I was trying to say... [notices the Mayor giving her a guilty and apologetic stare; throws her papers] Ugh, never mind!
[moving her hovering machine closer] Yeah?
[grabbing the machine angrily] Don't you know how to take "get lost" for an answer?! Dash doesn't need to hang with a dweeb like you now that I'm around! You're dorkin' up the skies, Stinkie Pie, so make like a bee and BUZZ OFF!
[She grabs and stops the propeller, making Pinkie's whole machine spin out of control and fall down to earth]
Rainbow Dash
[returning] Try matching that! ... Hey, where's Pinkie and her crazy contraption?
Eh, she left. Something about being "as busy as a bee".
This is your idea of a good time?! I've never met a lamer bunch of dweebs in all my life! And Pinkie Pie... YOU! You are "Queen Lame-o" with your weak little party pranks! Did you really think you could make me lose my cool?! Well, Dash and I have ten times as much cool as the rest of you put together! Come on, Dash. We're bailing on this pathetic scene... Come on, Rainbow Dash! I said we're leaving!
Rainbow Dash
You know, Gilda, I was the one who set up all those "weak pranks" at this party.
Rainbow Dash
So I guess I'm "Queen Lame-o".
Come on, Dash, you're joshing me!
Rainbow Dash
They weren't all meant for you specifically. It was just dumb luck that you set them all off.
I shoulda known - that dribble cup had Rainbow Dash written all over it.
You have a wonderful talent dealing with all kinds of animals.
Yes, because they're not dragons...
Rainbow Dash
Oh come on! We've seen you walk up to a horrible manticore like it was nothing.
Yes, because he wasn't a dragon.
Spike is a dragon. You're not scared of him.
Yes, because he wasn't a huge, gigantic, terrible, enormous, teeth-gnashing, sharp scale-having, horn-wearing, smoke-snoring, could-eat-a-pony-in-one-bite, totally-all-grown-up dragon.
Rainbow Dash
All right, that's it! We've tried persuasion [pans to Twilight], charm [pans to Rarity], [pans to Pinkie Pie, who is dressed like a birthday gift with balloons and streamers] whatever it is Pinkie Pie does...
Rainbow Dash
It's time to stop wasting time! I'm going in! [flies into the Dragon's cave]
Rainbow Dash
[flies up to the Dragon] GET OUT! [kicks the Dragon in the snout, causing him to sneeze]
Listen here, Mister! [Walks up the Dragon's snout towards his eye; angrily] Just because you're big doesn't mean you get to be a bully! You may have huge teeth and sharp scales and snore smoke and breathe fire, but, if you may ask… no, and I repeat, no, you do not, and I repeat, NOT! YOU DO NOT! HURT! MY! FRIENDS!!! You got that?
DDragon
But that rainbow one kicked me.
[Rainbow Dash grins with her eyes close and nods]
And I'm very sorry about that.
Rainbow Dash
[looks confused]
But you're bigger than she is and you should know better. You should also know better than to take a nap where your snoring can become a health hazard to other creatures.
Don't you "But I" me, Mister! Now what do you have to say for yourself? I said what do you have to say for yourself?
DDragon
[breaks down crying]
[caring] There, there! No need to cry. You're not a bad dragon. You just made a bad decision. Now go pack your things. You just need to find a new place to sleep. That's all.
[ponies congratulate her]
Rainbow Dash
Fluttershy to the rescue!
You did it! I knew you could do it!
[the Dragon flies off]
Twilight, we don’t have much time!
You’re telling me! The Princess could arrive at any moment!
Exactly, That’s why I need you gals to drop what you’re doing, and help me find some maracas!
Maracas? Pinkie, we’ve got much bigger problems than missing maracas!
[gasps] You’re right! Getting a tuba has to be our number-one goal! Follow me.
[She zips away, but Twilight does not follow her; she instantly zips back]
Rainbow Dash
Pinkie, you are so random.
[scoffs] And you are all so stubborn!! [gallops off in anger]
Hey! What happened to the princess?
Emergency in Fillydelphia...
Rainbow Dash
Some sort of... infestation.
Oh no! Have they got parasprites too? Well... have tuba, will travel!
I think the princess can handle it...
But... have you ever run a race?
Well, no. But I do know a lot about running.
Rainbow Dash
And you know this from...
Books. I read several on the subject.
Rainbow Dash
What did you read... the Egghead's Guide to Running? Did you stretch up your... eye muscles to warm up? [laughs] Get it? "Eye muscles"?!
Aren't you going to tell me to change something too?
Rainbow Dash
No, I just want my dress to be cool.
Do you not like the color?
Rainbow Dash
The color's fine, just make it look cooler.
Do you not like the shape?
Rainbow Dash
The shape's fine, just make the whole thing you know, cooler. It needs to be about 20% cooler.
[sobbing] LEAVE ME ALONE! I want to be alone! I want to wallow in... whatever it is that ponies are supposed to wallow in! Do ponies wallow in pity? Oh, listen to me! I don't even know what I'm supposed to wallow in! I'M SO PATHETIIIC!
Rainbow Dash
That's your answer for everything!
Well we can't just leave Rarity like this!
She'll become a crazy cat lady!
[deadpan] She only has one cat.
Rainbow Dash
I just wish I could've met the Wonderbolts when they were awake. [a hoof taps on her shoulder. She turns around to see Spitfire, at the head of the Wonderbolts] Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, mygosh!
So you're the little pony who saved our lives. We really wanted to meet you, and say thanks.
Rainbow Dash
Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, mygosh!
