1. No... nope...Copy !req
2. Thank you kindly, Twilight, for helping me out.Copy !req
3. I bet Big Macintosh I could get all these
Golden Delicious in the barn by lunchtime.Copy !req
4. If I win, he's gonna walk down Stirrup
Street in one of Granny's girdles, heh heh.Copy !req
5. No problem at all, Applejack.Copy !req
6. But I'm glad, the goal is lunchtime.
All this hard work is making me hungry.Copy !req
7. I know, right?Copy !req
8. Oh really, Spike? You've been lounging
on my back all morning while we worked.Copy !req
9. Exactly! You two were taking
so long, I missed snacktime.Copy !req
10. I guess be better get some food.Copy !req
11. Nope... worm...Copy !req
12. Aha!Copy !req
13. Oh, Spike! That looks delicious...!Copy !req
14. Spike!Copy !req
15. What?Copy !req
16. It's a letter from Princess Celestia!Copy !req
17. Hear ye, hear ye.Copy !req
18. Her Grand Royal Highness
Princess Celestia of Equestria...Copy !req
19. is pleased to announce
the Grand Galloping Gala...Copy !req
20. to be held in the magnificent capital
city of Canterlot on the 21st day of...Copy !req
21. yadda yadda yadda...Copy !req
22. cordially extends an invitation
to Twilight Sparkle plus one guest.Copy !req
23. The Grand Galloping Gala!Copy !req
24. The Grand Galloping Gala!Copy !req
25. Look! Two tickets!Copy !req
26. Wow, great! I've never been to the Gala.
Have you, Spike?Copy !req
27. No and I plan to keep it that way. I don't
want any of that girly frilly frou-frou nonsense.Copy !req
28. Oh, come on Spike! A dance would be nice.Copy !req
29. Nice? It's a hiccup more than just nice!Copy !req
30. I'd love to go.Copy !req
31. Land sakes! If I had an apple stand set up...Copy !req
32. ponies would be chewin' our tasty
vittles till the cows came home.Copy !req
33. Do you have any idea how much business
I could drum up for Sweet Apple Acres?Copy !req
34. Why, with all that money we could
do a heap of fixin' up round here.Copy !req
35. We could replace that saggy old roof.Copy !req
36. And Big Macintosh could
replace that saggy old plow.Copy !req
37. And Granny Smith could
replace that saggy old hip!Copy !req
38. Wow. I'd give my left hind
leg to go to that Gala.Copy !req
39. Oh. Well, in that case, would you like to...Copy !req
40. Are we talking about the Grand Galloping Gala?Copy !req
41. Rainbow Dash. You told me you were
too busy to help me harvest apples.Copy !req
42. What were you busy doin'? Spyin'?Copy !req
43. No. I was busy...Copy !req
44. napping.Copy !req
45. And I just happened to hear
that you have an extra ticket?Copy !req
46. - Yeah, but...
- Yes! This is so awesome!Copy !req
47. The Wonderbolts perform at the Grand Galloping
Gala every year. I can see it now...Copy !req
48. Everyone will be watching the sky.
Their eyes riveted on the Wonderbolts.Copy !req
49. But then, in would fly...Copy !req
50. Rainbow Dash!Copy !req
51. I would draw their attention
with my Super Speed Strut.Copy !req
52. Then I would mesmerize them
with my Fantastic Filly Flash.Copy !req
53. And for my grand finale the Buccaneer Blaze!Copy !req
54. The ponies would go wild!Copy !req
55. The Wonderbolts would insist that my signature
moves be incorporated into their routine.Copy !req
56. And then welcome me as their newest member.Copy !req
57. Don't you see, Twilight? This could be
my one chance to show 'em my stuff.Copy !req
58. You gotta take me!Copy !req
59. Hold on just one pony pickin' minute here.Copy !req
60. I asked for that ticket first.Copy !req
61. So? That doesn't mean you own it.Copy !req
62. Oh yeah? Well, I challenge you to
a hoof wrestle. Winner gets the ticket.Copy !req
63. Girls! These are MY tickets!
I'll decide who gets it, thank you very much.Copy !req
64. Whoever has the best reason to go,
should get the ticket, don't you think?Copy !req
65. - Drummin' up business for the farm?
- A chance to audition for the Wonderbolts?Copy !req
66. - Money to fix Granny's hip!
- Living the dream!Copy !req
67. Oh my! Those are all pretty
good reasons, aren't they?Copy !req
68. Listen to that. I am starving.Copy !req
69. I don't know about you, but I can't make
important decisions on an empty stomach.Copy !req
70. So I'll think about it over lunch
and get back to you two. Okay?Copy !req
71. Okay.Copy !req
72. So who you're gonna give the ticket to, Twilight?Copy !req
73. I don't know, Spike. But I really
can't think straight when I'm hungry.Copy !req
74. So where should we eat?Copy !req
75. Bats! Bats on my face! HELP!Copy !req
76. Wait! These aren't...!Copy !req
77. Tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala?Copy !req
78. It's the most amazing incredible tremendous
super-fun wonderful terrifically humongous
party in all of Equestria!Copy !req
79. I've always always ALWAYS wanted to go!Copy !req
80. Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala
is the best place for me!Copy !req
81. Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala
is the best place for me!Copy !req
82. Hip hip hurray,
it's the best place for me!Copy !req
83. For Pinkie!Copy !req
84. With decorations and streamers and fairy lights
and pinwheels and piñatas and pincushions...Copy !req
85. With goodies like sugar cubes and sugar canes
and sundaes and sunbeams and sasparilla!Copy !req
86. And I get to play my favoritest of favorite
fantabulous games like pin the tail on the pony!Copy !req
87. Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala
is the best place for me!Copy !req
88. Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala
is the best place for me!Copy !req
89. Cause it's the most gallerific
superly-teriffic gala ever in the whole Galaxy!Copy !req
90. Whee!Copy !req
91. Oh thank you, Twilight!
It's the most wonderfulest gift ever!Copy !req
92. Um... Actually...Copy !req
93. Are these what I think they are?Copy !req
94. Yes, yes, YES! Twilight's taking my to
the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot!Copy !req
95. The Gala!Copy !req
96. I design ensembles for the Gala every year,
but I've never had the opportunity to attend.Copy !req
97. Oh, the society, the culture, the glamor!
It's where I truly belong.Copy !req
98. And where I'm destined to meet... HIM!Copy !req
99. Him...!Copy !req
100. Who?Copy !req
101. Him.Copy !req
102. I would stroll through the Gala
and everyone would wonder...Copy !req
103. "Who is that mysterious mare?"Copy !req
104. They would never guess that I was just
a simple pony from little old Ponyville.Copy !req
105. Why, I would cause such a sensation...Copy !req
106. that I would be invited for an
audience with Princess Celestia herself!Copy !req
107. And the Princess would be so taken
with the style and elegance...Copy !req
108. that she would introduce me to HIM!
Her nephew!Copy !req
109. The most handsome, eligible
unicorn stallion in Canterlot!Copy !req
110. Our eyes would meet, our hearts would melt...Copy !req
111. Our courtship would be magnificent.Copy !req
112. He would ask for my hoof in marriage
and of course I would say...Copy !req
113. YES!Copy !req
114. We would have a royal wedding,
befitting a princess...Copy !req
115. which is what I would
become upon marrying him.Copy !req
116. The stallion of my dreams.Copy !req
117. Twilight! I simply cannot believe you would
invite Pinkie Pie, so she could party...Copy !req
118. and prevent me from meeting my true love!
How could you?Copy !req
119. Hey!Copy !req
120. Angel! These are perfect!Copy !req
121. Listen guys, I haven't decided
who to give the extra ticket to.Copy !req
122. You haven't?Copy !req
123. Um... Excuse me...Copy !req
124. Twilight, I would just like to ask...
I mean, if it would be all right...Copy !req
125. if you haven't given it to someone else...Copy !req
126. You? You want to go to the Gala?Copy !req
127. Oh... no.Copy !req
128. I mean... yes. Or actually, kind of. You see...Copy !req
129. It's not so much the Grand Galloping Gala...Copy !req
130. as it is the wondrous private gated
garden that surrounds the dance.Copy !req
131. The flowers are said the be the most
beautiful and fragrant in all of Equestria!Copy !req
132. For the night of the Gala and that night
alone will they all be in bloom.Copy !req
133. And that's just the flora!
Don't get me started on the fauna.Copy !req
134. There's loons and toucans and bitterns, oh my!Copy !req
135. Hummingbirds that can really hum!Copy !req
136. And buzzards that can really buzz!Copy !req
137. And blue jays and red jays and green
jays, pink jays and pink flamingos.Copy !req
138. Gee, Fluttershy, it sounds... beautiful.Copy !req
139. - Wait just a minute!
- Rainbow Dash!Copy !req
140. Were you following me?Copy !req
141. No... I mean, yes... I mean, maybe.
Look, it doesn't matter!Copy !req
142. I couldn't risk a goody four-shoes like you
giving that ticket away to just anybody.Copy !req
143. - Wait just another minute!
- Applejack! Were you following me too?Copy !req
144. No. I was following this one to make
sure she didn't try any funny business.Copy !req
145. - Still tryin' to take my ticket.
- YOUR ticket?Copy !req
146. But Twilight's taking me!Copy !req
147. QUIET!Copy !req
148. and then I said "Oatmeal? Are you craz..." Oh.Copy !req
149. Girls! There's no use in arguing!Copy !req
150. But Twilight...!Copy !req
151. This is my decision and I'm
gonna make it on my own...Copy !req
152. and I certainly can't think
straight with all this noise!Copy !req
153. Not to mention hunger.Copy !req
154. Now go on! Shoo!Copy !req
155. And don't worry, I'll figure this out!Copy !req
156. Somehow.Copy !req
157. Oh Spike. What am I gonna do?Copy !req
158. All five of my best friends have
really good reasons to go to the Gala.Copy !req
159. Applejack, Rainbow Dash,
Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy, Rarity...Copy !req
160. Oh, who should go with me?Copy !req
161. Have you made your decision?Copy !req
162. I CAN'T DECIDE!Copy !req
163. Twilight, he just wants to take your order.Copy !req
164. Oh. I would love a daffodil and daisy sandwich.Copy !req
165. Do you have any rubies?Copy !req
166. No? Okay, I'll have the hay fries. Extra crispy.Copy !req
167. What do you think, Spike?Copy !req
168. I think we have to try another restaurant.Copy !req
169. I mean, I like grass just fine, but would
it hurt anybody to offer some gemstones?Copy !req
170. I mean about the Gala
and the ticket and who I should take!Copy !req
171. - Oh, you're still on THAT?
- Spike, listen!Copy !req
172. How do I choose? And when I do choose,
will the other four be mad at me?Copy !req
173. I mean, I could give up
my ticket and give away two...Copy !req
174. but that would still leave three
disappointed ponies. What if I...Copy !req
175. Ah, your food.Copy !req
176. Oh, thank you. This looks so good. I'm sure
everything will be much clearer once I eat.Copy !req
177. Um, Madame? Are you going to
eat your food in ze rain?Copy !req
178. It's not raining.Copy !req
179. What's going on?Copy !req
180. Hi there, best friend forever I've ever ever had?
Enjoying the sunny weather?Copy !req
181. Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?Copy !req
182. Whadya mean? I just saw the smartest,
most generous pony about to get rained on...Copy !req
183. so I though I'd kick a hole
in the clouds to keep her dry...Copy !req
184. so she can dine at peace. That's all.Copy !req
185. Rainbow. You're not trying to get extra
consideration for the extra ticket...Copy !req
186. by doing the extra special favors, are you?Copy !req
187. Me? No no no, of course not!Copy !req
188. Seriously, I'd do it for anypony.Copy !req
189. Rainbow, I am not comfortable
accepting unwanted favors.Copy !req
190. So I'd appreciate if you closed up
that rain cloud right now.Copy !req
191. Fine.Copy !req
192. That's better.Copy !req
193. - Twilight! It's raining.
- No. Really?Copy !req
194. Come with me before you catch a cold!Copy !req
195. Oops. Sorry.Copy !req
196. Oh no! It's quite all right.Copy !req
197. After all, we are THE BEST OF FRIENDS,
are we not?Copy !req
198. And you know what the best of friends do?Copy !req
199. Makeover!Copy !req
200. Ugh... Rarity...Copy !req
201. There! Oh, you're simply darling!Copy !req
202. Yeah... It is kinda pretty, isn't it?Copy !req
203. And you! Oh, Spike. I have a dandy
little outfit for the dashing gent.Copy !req
204. - Oh, Spike.
- Now you just need a hat!Copy !req
205. I told you! I don't want any part of this girly
gala gunk. See you back at the library!Copy !req
206. Oh, who needs him anyway?
This is all about you!Copy !req
207. And how fabulous you'll look
at the Grand Galloping Gala.Copy !req
208. Wait. The Grand...Copy !req
209. And, oh my goodness, what a coincidence!Copy !req
210. I happen to have an ensemble
of my own that matches yours to a tee.Copy !req
211. We would be the belles of the ball, you and I.
Everyone would be clamoring for our attention.Copy !req
212. All eyes would be on us. And then everyone
would finally know, the most beautiful...Copy !req
213. most talented, most sophisticated
pony in all of Equestria...Copy !req
214. is Rarity the Unicorn!Copy !req
215. And Twilight Sparkle, of course.Copy !req
216. I see what's going on. You're just
buttering me up so I give you the extra ticket.Copy !req
217. Well, it's not gonna work!Copy !req
218. You're going to have to wait for my
decision just like everyone else.Copy !req
219. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've been
trying all day just to get some lunch!Copy !req
220. Did somepony say lunch?Copy !req
221. You've got to be kidding me!Copy !req
222. I got apple pie, apple fritters, apple tarts,
apple dumplings, apple crisps, apple crumbles...Copy !req
223. aaand apple Brown Betty!Copy !req
224. The dessert. Not my auntie.Copy !req
225. What'd ya say there, best friend?Copy !req
226. Is that a yes?Copy !req
227. No! NO!Copy !req
228. I don't know who I'm giving the ticket to!Copy !req
229. And all these favors aren't
making it any easier to decide.Copy !req
230. In fact, I'm less sure now
than I was this morning! Aaargh!Copy !req
231. So... that's a maybe?Copy !req
232. I never thought being showered with
favors would be so aggravating.Copy !req
233. Fluttershy! Not you too...Copy !req
234. Oh! Well, hello, Twilight.Copy !req
235. I hope you don't mind but we're all
doing a little spring cleaning for you.Copy !req
236. It's summer.Copy !req
237. Oh. Well... better late than never, right?Copy !req
238. It was Angel's idea.Copy !req
239. You're not doing this for the ticket, are you?Copy !req
240. Oh, no! I'm doing this because you're
my very best friend! Right, Angel?Copy !req
241. Yes. We are just doing this for the ticket.Copy !req
242. No no NO!Copy !req
243. Well, this is all very nice of you and Angel...Copy !req
244. but I'm not accepting any extra favors
until I've made my final decision.Copy !req
245. So I'm going to have to ask you to leave.Copy !req
246. SURPRISE!Copy !req
247. Twilight is my bestest friend, whoopee! Whoopee!
- Pinkie...Copy !req
248. She's the cutest, smartest, all-around best pony! Pony!
- Pinkie...!Copy !req
249. I bet if I throw a super-duper fun party! Party!
- Pinkie!Copy !req
250. She'll give her extra ticket to the Gala to meee!
- PINKIEEE!Copy !req
251. Yes, Twilight?Copy !req
252. At least the other ponies *try ♪
to be subtle about the ticket!Copy !req
253. - Wait... What ticket? What gala?
- Oh, you didn't know?Copy !req
254. Twilight has an extra ticket
to the Grand Galloping Gala!Copy !req
255. THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA?Copy !req
256. Have I ever told you how much
I love your mane?Copy !req
257. I'll wash your dishes!Copy !req
258. - Would you like any help with your gardening?
- I have a cartload of extra carrots.Copy !req
259. What are we gonna do?Copy !req
260. We're... gonna... RUUUUN!Copy !req
261. Warn me next time you're gonna do that.Copy !req
262. I didn't even know it was gonna happen!
Not quick, lock the doors!Copy !req
263. I can't decide, I just can't decide!Copy !req
264. It's important to all of you and I just
can't stand to disappoint any of you...Copy !req
265. and giving me gifts and doing me
favors won't make any difference.Copy !req
266. Because you're all my friends and I wanna
make you all happy and I can't! I JUST CAN'T!Copy !req
267. Twilight, sugar... I didn't mean to
put so much pressure on you.Copy !req
268. And if it helps, I don't want the ticket anymore.
You can give it to somepony else.Copy !req
269. I won't feel bad, I promise.Copy !req
270. Me too. I feel just awful
that I made you feel so awful.Copy !req
271. And me too. It's no fun upsetting your friends!Copy !req
272. Twilight, it was unfair of me
to try to force you as I did.Copy !req
273. YES! That means, the ticket is mine!Copy !req
274. I've got the ticket, I've got the ticket...Copy !req
275. You know... I haven't perfected my signature
moves for the Wonderbolts anyway.Copy !req
276. I don't need that ticket either.Copy !req
277. We all got so gung-ho about
going to the Gala...Copy !req
278. that we couldn't see how
ungung-ho we were makin' you.Copy !req
279. We're sorry, Twilight!Copy !req
280. Spike, take down a note.Copy !req
281. Dear Princess Celestia. I've learned that one of
the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings.Copy !req
282. But when it's not enough
blessings to go around...Copy !req
283. having more than your friends
can make you feel pretty awful.Copy !req
284. So, though I appreciate the invitation...Copy !req
285. I will be returning both tickets
to the Grand Galloping Gala.Copy !req
286. WHAT?Copy !req
287. If my friends can't all go,
I don't wanna go either.Copy !req
288. Twilight, you don't have to do that!Copy !req
289. Nope, I've made up my mind.
Spike, you can send the letter now.Copy !req
290. Now you won't get to go to the Gala either.Copy !req
291. It's okay, girls. I couldn't possibly enjoy
myself without my best friends there with me.Copy !req
292. So I'd rather not go at all.Copy !req
293. Well, wallop my withers, Spike. Isn't that just like
a boy. Can't handle the least bit of sentiment.Copy !req
294. Whoah, Nelly!Copy !req
295. A letter from the Princess? That was fast!Copy !req
296. My faithful student Twilight.
Why didn't you just say so in the first place?Copy !req
297. Six tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala!Copy !req
298. Now we can all go!Copy !req
299. Allow us to treat you to dinner.Copy !req
300. What a great way to apologise!Copy !req
301. And to celebrate! Come on, everyone!
The cupcakes are on me.Copy !req
302. How come I don't get a ticket to the Gala?Copy !req
303. And one for you, Spike.Copy !req
304. I mean... gross! I have to go too?Copy !req
