1. Now, what have we learned?
Copy !req
2. Lots of control...
Copy !req
3. Good.
Copy !req
4. Screaming and hollering...
Copy !req
5. Yes. And most importantly...
Copy !req
6. Passion!
Copy !req
7. Right!
Copy !req
8. So now that you know the elements
of a good cheer, let's hear one!
Copy !req
9. Yay.
Copy !req
10. You're gonna cheer for me like that?
Copy !req
11. - Louder.
- Yay.
Copy !req
12. - Louder!
- Yay.
Copy !req
13. LOUDER!
Copy !req
14. Yaaay.
Copy !req
15. Too loud?
Copy !req
16. Yay.
Copy !req
17. And now, phase one of my routine...
Copy !req
18. Woo...
Copy !req
19. Phase two...
Copy !req
20. Way to go.
Copy !req
21. Here we go. Phase three...
Copy !req
22. The sonic rainboom!
Copy !req
23. Come on!
Copy !req
24. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
25. Last one.
Copy !req
26. Thank you so much for helping me
clean up all these books, guys.
Copy !req
27. It was a crazy weekend of studying.
Copy !req
28. Rainbow Dash, you rock.
Copy !req
29. Woohoo.
Copy !req
30. Did my cheering do that?
Copy !req
31. Sorry about that, ladies.
Copy !req
32. That was a truly feeble performance.
Copy !req
33. Actually, it wasn't all bad. I particularly
liked it when you made the clouds spin.
Copy !req
34. I'm not talking about my performance.
I'm talking about yours.
Copy !req
35. That feeble cheering.
Copy !req
36. What are you two arguing about?
Copy !req
37. Were we arguing? I'm sorry.
Copy !req
38. I wish you guys could come to Cloudsdale to see
me competing in the Best Young Flyer Competition.
Copy !req
39. What's that?
Copy !req
40. It's where all the greatest
pegasus flyers get together...
Copy !req
41. and show off their different flying styles!
Copy !req
42. Some are fast!
Copy !req
43. And some are graceful.
Copy !req
44. Golly! I'd love to see you strut
your stuff in that competition.
Copy !req
45. Yeah. I wish you guys could be there.
Copy !req
46. Fluttershy is a great support,
but her cheering isn't exactly inspirational.
Copy !req
47. Ooh! I'd love to see you make a sonic rainboom!
Copy !req
48. It's, like, the most coolest thing ever!
Copy !req
49. Even though I've never actually seen it,
but, I mean, come on, it's a sonic rainboom!
Copy !req
50. How not cool could it possibly not be?
Copy !req
51. What's a "sonic rainboom"?
Copy !req
52. You really need to get out more.
Copy !req
53. The sonic rainboom is legendary!
Copy !req
54. When a pegasus like Rainbow Dash
gets going so fast...
Copy !req
55. Boom!
Copy !req
56. a sonic boom and a rainbow
can happen all at once!
Copy !req
57. And Rainbow Dash here's
the only pony to ever pull it off.
Copy !req
58. It was a long time ago. I was just a filly.
Copy !req
59. Yeah, but you're gonna do it again, right?
Copy !req
60. A-are you kidding?
Copy !req
61. I'm the greatest flyer
to ever come out of Cloudsdale.
Copy !req
62. I could do sonic rainbooms in my sleep.
Copy !req
63. Wow. If you pull that off,
you'll win the crown for sure.
Copy !req
64. The grand prize is an entire
day with the Wonderbolts.
Copy !req
65. A whole day of flying with my lifelong heroes.
Copy !req
66. It'll be a dream come true!
Copy !req
67. Yay.
Copy !req
68. I'm gonna go rest up.
Copy !req
69. Don't wanna overprepare myself, you know.
Copy !req
70. You, on the other hand, better keep practicing.
Copy !req
71. I need a cheering section to match
my spectacular performance.
Copy !req
72. She's practiced that move a hundred times
and she's never even come close to doing it.
Copy !req
73. I don't know if I can
cheer loud enough to help her.
Copy !req
74. Well, guess we better get this cleaned up.
Copy !req
75. Again.
Copy !req
76. Go on, go on.
Copy !req
77. Go on what?
Copy !req
78. Find a spell that will get us
wingless ponies into Cloudsdale.
Copy !req
79. Didn't you see how nervous she was?
Copy !req
80. Nervous? Have you spit your bit or someth'n?
Copy !req
81. She was tootin' her own horn louder
than the brass section of a marchin' band.
Copy !req
82. Oh, please.
Copy !req
83. I've put on enough fashion shows
to recognize stage fright when I see it.
Copy !req
84. You've got to find a way to be there for her.
Copy !req
85. Now go on!
Copy !req
86. How am I supposed to find
a flight spell in this mess?
Copy !req
87. A flight spell? One sec.
Copy !req
88. Page 27.
Copy !req
89. How'd you do that?
Copy !req
90. It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash
knocked me into the bookcase.
Copy !req
91. Here it is!
Copy !req
92. A spell that will allow earth ponies
to fly for three days.
Copy !req
93. Ooh... It looks really difficult.
Copy !req
94. I'm not sure I can do it.
Copy !req
95. You've got to try.
Copy !req
96. Okay. But who's gonna volunteer
to be the test subject?
Copy !req
97. I will!
Copy !req
98. For Rainbow Dash, I will go first.
Copy !req
99. Here goes...
Copy !req
100. I think it worked.
Copy !req
101. You've got to learn to be assertive, Fluttershy.
Copy !req
102. Don't be afraid to speak up.
Copy !req
103. Well, well, well. What do we have here?
Copy !req
104. It's our old friend, Rainbow Crash!
Copy !req
105. Get kicked out of any flight schools lately?
Copy !req
106. I didn't get kicked out.
Copy !req
107. Face it, Rainbow Crash. Flight school had
too many rules and not enough naptimes for you.
Copy !req
108. Huh. Ask her about the sonic rainboom!
Copy !req
109. That's nothing but an old mares' tale.
Copy !req
110. You don't have the skills
to try something like that.
Copy !req
111. Now wait just a minute!
Copy !req
112. Oh. I'm sorry. I'm trying to be more assertive.
Copy !req
113. Anyhow, she *is* going to do a sonic rainboom.
Copy !req
114. No, she's not, cause there's no such thing.
Copy !req
115. The show up at the Cloudiseum
and see for yourself.
Copy !req
116. if you're free.
Copy !req
117. Yeah, I'll be free.
Copy !req
118. Oh, don't worry. We'll be there.
Copy !req
119. See you then, Rainbow Crash!
Copy !req
120. Did you see that? I was so assertive.
Copy !req
121. Those guys are right. I'll never be able to do it.
Copy !req
122. But Rainbow Dash...
Copy !req
123. just because you failed the sonic rainboom
a hundred thousand times in practice...
Copy !req
124. doesn't mean you won't be able
to do it in front of an entire stadium...
Copy !req
125. full of impatient,
super-critical sports fan ponies.
Copy !req
126. What do I do? Everypony's gonna see me fail!
Copy !req
127. The Wonderbolts will never
let a loser like me join.
Copy !req
128. Princess Celestia will probably
banish me to the Everfree Forest!
Copy !req
129. MY LIFE IS RUINED!
Copy !req
130. Rar...
Copy !req
131. Rare? The sonic rainboom is way more than rare!
Copy !req
132. Rarity?
Copy !req
133. Rarity! Are you...
Copy !req
134. flying?
Copy !req
135. I most certainly am!
Copy !req
136. Aren't my wings smashing?
Copy !req
137. Twilight made them for me. I just adore them!
Copy !req
138. Why so shocked?
Copy !req
139. We couldn't leave our favorite flyer
without a big cheering section.
Copy !req
140. "We"?
Copy !req
141. I... I can't believe it!
Copy !req
142. It's incredible.
Copy !req
143. This is so cool! You guys made it!
Copy !req
144. Sure did!
Copy !req
145. WAIT!
Copy !req
146. How'd you do that? Only
pegasus ponies can walk on clouds.
Copy !req
147. Pretty cool, huh?
Copy !req
148. I found a spell that makes temporary wings...
Copy !req
149. but it was too difficult to do more than once.
Copy !req
150. So I found an easier spell that
lets the rest of us walk on clouds.
Copy !req
151. And we came to cheer you to victory.
Copy !req
152. To be honest, I *was* starting to get
just a teeniest, tiniest bit nervous.
Copy !req
153. But I feel a lot better now
that you guys are here.
Copy !req
154. Hey! We've got some time before the competition.
Copy !req
155. Why don't Fluttershy and I
show you around Cloudsdale?
Copy !req
156. Here it is. The greatest city in the sky!
Copy !req
157. Some of the greatest pegasi
in history came from Cloudsdale.
Copy !req
158. Oh! Wait for me!
Copy !req
159. Those wings are gorgeous!
Copy !req
160. Oh, why thank you.
Copy !req
161. Be careful with those wings, Rarity.
Copy !req
162. They're made from gossamer and morning dew.
Copy !req
163. And they're incredibly delicate.
Copy !req
164. Don't worry, Twilight. I'm sure they can't get
worn out from too much attention.
Copy !req
165. Since we're up here, I'd sure like to get
a look at where the weather's made.
Copy !req
166. Great idea! Come on, girls!
To the weather factory!
Copy !req
167. This is where they make the snowflakes.
Copy !req
168. Each one is hoofmade, as you could see.
Copy !req
169. It's a delicate operation.
Copy !req
170. Ooh! The snowflakes look even better from up here.
Copy !req
171. We better move on before Rarity
ruins winter and causes a drought.
Copy !req
172. And here's where they make the rainbows.
Copy !req
173. Spicy...!
Copy !req
174. Yeah. Rainbows aren't really
known for their flavor.
Copy !req
175. Where'd you get those
amazing wings? I want a pair.
Copy !req
176. Yeah, I guess I could see that.
Copy !req
177. Oh hey, look! It's Rainbow Crash again.
Copy !req
178. Yeah! Rainbow...
Copy !req
179. Crash!
Copy !req
180. Rarity! What are you doing
talking to *these* guys?
Copy !req
181. Oh, they were just admiring
my wings, Rainbow Dash.
Copy !req
182. Yeah. You should forget the sonic rainboom
and just get yourself some wings like these.
Copy !req
183. Oh. Come on, girls.
Copy !req
184. Why don't we go see how clouds are made?
Copy !req
185. Don't listen to them. You're gonna
win that competition for sure.
Copy !req
186. Are you kidding? I can't do the sonic rainboom.
Copy !req
187. And just look at these boring
plain old feathered wings.
Copy !req
188. I'm doomed.
Copy !req
189. Why, these old things?
Copy !req
190. Go ahead, everypony. Photos are encouraged.
Copy !req
191. Rarity! We're supposed to be helping
Rainbow Dash relax, remember?
Copy !req
192. Put your wings away and stop showing off.
Copy !req
193. Oh. How can you ask me to put away perfection?
Copy !req
194. Rainbow Dash, are you okay?
Copy !req
195. You don't look so good.
Copy !req
196. Of course! Why wouldn't I be okay?
Copy !req
197. Everyone's so in love of Rarity's wings
that they won't even notice...
Copy !req
198. when I totally BLOW IT
in the Best Young Flyer's Competition.
Copy !req
199. Hey! There's an idea!
Copy !req
200. Yeah. I could watch you fly all day long.
Copy !req
201. There really isn't anypony
who uses their wings quite like me.
Copy !req
202. Perhaps I should compete.
Copy !req
203. What?
Copy !req
204. What am I gonna do?
Copy !req
205. I'll never win the competition now.
Copy !req
206. I'm going to be a while.
Copy !req
207. Fillies and gentlecolts!
Please rise and join me...
Copy !req
208. in welcoming our beloved Princess Celestia!
Copy !req
209. Please welcome our celebrity judges
for the Best Young Flyer Competition...
Copy !req
210. the Wonderbolts!
Copy !req
211. And now let's find out who will take the prize...
Copy !req
212. as this year's Best Young Flyer.
Copy !req
213. Okay, contestant number one. You're up.
Copy !req
214. Okay, number two. Let's go.
Copy !req
215. Um...
Copy !req
216. Come on, come on. We ain't got all day.
Copy !req
217. She's talking to you.
Copy !req
218. Oh! Uh...
Copy !req
219. Oh, I guess that's me.
Copy !req
220. Okay, number four. Time to go.
Copy !req
221. I'm number four and I need
just one more itsy bitsy minute.
Copy !req
222. Be a dear and have somepony go ahead of me, hm?
Copy !req
223. Look. I don't care who it is,
but somepony's gotta go on.
Copy !req
224. LET'S DO THIS!
Copy !req
225. What am I gonna do?
Copy !req
226. I loved number seven. Doing fifteen
barrel rolls in a row can't be easy.
Copy !req
227. My favorite is number ten.
She just looks like such a nice pony.
Copy !req
228. Hm. Wonder how come we haven't
seen Rainbow Dash or Rarity yet.
Copy !req
229. The competition's almost over.
Copy !req
230. Number fifteen, let's go.
Copy !req
231. Rarity...
Copy !req
232. is ready!
Copy !req
233. Look, ladies, I don't know what to tell you.
There's only time for one more performance.
Copy !req
234. If you both wanna compete, you'll
just have to go out there together.
Copy !req
235. Well, Rainbow Dash? Shall we?
Copy !req
236. And now, for our final competitor of the day...
Copy !req
237. contestant number fifteen!
Copy !req
238. Uh... and apparently contestant number four.
Copy !req
239. Good luck, Rainbow Dash. Just do your best.
Copy !req
240. I hope you don't mind, but I took
the liberty of changing our music.
Copy !req
241. That rock and roll doesn't really match my wings.
Copy !req
242. Come on, Rainbow Dash. You can do this.
Copy !req
243. Just remember the routine.
Copy !req
244. Phase one...
Copy !req
245. Nice work, Rainbow Crash!
Copy !req
246. Time for phase two.
Copy !req
247. Look. Phase two is working.
Copy !req
248. And now, for my grand finale, I
will fly right up to the sun...
Copy !req
249. and beam my beautiful wings
over the whole city of Cloudsdale.
Copy !req
250. Oh, they'll be talking about it for years!
Copy !req
251. Looks like this is my last chance
to turn things around.
Copy !req
252. Phase three: the sonic...
Copy !req
253. rainboom.
Copy !req
254. Wings, don't fail me now.
Copy !req
255. Look upon me, Equestria!
Copy !req
256. For I am Rarity!
Copy !req
257. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
258. Oh no! Her wings evaporated into thin air!
Copy !req
259. Hold on, Rarity!
Copy !req
260. I'm coming!
Copy !req
261. I can't look.
Copy !req
262. A SONIC RAINBOOM!
SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT! WAAAH!
Copy !req
263. Whoa...
Copy !req
264. A SONIC RAINBOOM!
Copy !req
265. YEAH! YES!
Copy !req
266. I did it. I did it!
Copy !req
267. You sure did.
Copy !req
268. Oh, thank you, Rainbow Dash. You saved my life.
Copy !req
269. Oh yeah. I did that too.
Copy !req
270. Best day ever!
Copy !req
271. I want to apologize to all of you
for getting so carried away with my...
Copy !req
272. beautiful wings.
Copy !req
273. I guess I just lost my head.
Copy !req
274. - It's okay.
- Oh, don't worry about it, kiddo.
- We still love you.
Copy !req
275. And then especially sorry
that I was so thoughtless...
Copy !req
276. as to jump into the contest at the last minute
after you would work so hard to win it.
Copy !req
277. Can you ever ever forgive me?
Copy !req
278. Oh, it's okay. Everything
turned our all right, right?
Copy !req
279. I just wish I could have met
the Wonderbolts when they were awake.
Copy !req
280. Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh...!
Copy !req
281. So you're the little pony who saved our lives?
Copy !req
282. We really wanted to meet you and say thanks.
Copy !req
283. ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh...
Copy !req
284. Princess!
Copy !req
285. Hello, Twilight Sparkle. And hello to your friends too.
Copy !req
286. Princess Celestia. I am sorry I ruined the competition.
Copy !req
287. Rainbow Dash here really is the best flyer in Equestria.
Copy !req
288. I know she is, my dear.
Copy !req
289. That's why, for her incredible act of bravery
and a spectacular sonic rainboom...
Copy !req
290. I'm presenting the grand prize
for Best Young Flyer to this year's winner...
Copy !req
291. Miss Rainbow Dash!
Copy !req
292. ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmy
goshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!
Copy !req
293. So, Twilight Sparkle. Did you learn anything
about friendship from this experience?
Copy !req
294. I did, Princess. But I think Rarity
learned even more than me.
Copy !req
295. I certainly did.
Copy !req
296. I learned how important it is to
keep your hooves on the ground...
Copy !req
297. and be there for your friends.
Copy !req
298. Excellent. Well done, Rarity.
Copy !req
299. This really is the best day ever!
Copy !req
300. - Uh... Hey, Rainbow Crash...
- Dash!
Copy !req
301. Oh! Uh... Sorry. Rainbow Dash.
Copy !req
302. Uh, we just wanted to congratulate you
on winning the competition.
Copy !req
303. That sonic rainboom was awesome!
Copy !req
304. Thanks, guys.
Copy !req
305. Uh, we're really sorry we gave you
such a hard time before.
Copy !req
306. Aw, that's okay. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
307. Hey, do you wanna hang out with us?
Copy !req
308. Maybe you could show us
how you did that incredible trick?
Copy !req
309. Sorry, boys...
Copy !req
310. but I've got plans.
Copy !req
