A happy Applejack with a bucket of apples.
Applejack pleased that Twilight is lending a helping hoof.
Excited to see her brother publicly humiliated.
Ooh, this apple looks good...
...but not good enough to eat.
Spike digging for apples.
Heh, this apple can go in the trash.
Does Twilight have an apple on her horn?
An apple hits Twilight on her head.
Oops, that's gotta hurt the poor unicorn.
Spike, you've been on my back all morning.
Spike looking through the basket of apples.
...that was eaten by a hungry little dragon.
"Spike! I wanted the juicy one..."
"Her Grand Royal Highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce The Grand Galloping Gala..."
"...to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot..."
"--cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle plus one guest."
Thus, the Gala excitement commences!
I've got a Golden Ticket!
Spike's not into girly parties and stuff.
Applejack seems pretty happy.
Daydreaming about the Gala.
Applejack's dream of going to Grand Galloping Gala.
Just imagine all the bits!
She'll make a mint there, right?
Hey guys, did I hear right?!
"What were you busy doing? Spying?"
"No, I was busy napping."
"I just happened to hear that you have an extra ticket?"
Rainbow Dash day dreaming.
"The ponies will love my awesome moves."
The ponies, watching in awe.
Berryshine, Golden Harvest and Daisy.
"I would draw their attention with my..."
I see Derpy. And Amethyst Star.
"Then, I would mesmerize them with my..."
"...Fantastic Filly Flash!"
"And for my grand finale..."
"... the Buccaneer Blaze!"
A legend in her own mind.
RD getting accepted into the Wonderbolts (in her mind).
She'll get to hang out with the Wonderbolts, right?
Rainbow Dash flying alongside the Wonderbolts.
Sweetie Drops and Berryshine among others watch Dash with the Wonderbolts.
Applejack with Rainbow Dash.
"My family needs it more than you do!"
"I challenge you to a hoof-wrestle. Winner gets the ticket."
"Drummin' up business for the farm?"
"A chance to audition for the Wonderbolts?"
"Money t' fix granny's hip."
"Those are all pretty good reasons, aren't they?"
"Can't make a decision on an empty stomach."
She's going to give it to me!
At this point, Ellie Goulding's song Starry Eyed should come on.
"Oh the Grand Galloping Gala, is the best place for me!"
Pinkie's fantasy of the Grand Galloping Gala.
"With decorations like streamers and fairy-lights..."
"...and pinwheels and piñatas and pincushions!"
"With goodies like sugar cubes..."
Pin the tail on the Pinkie!
Pinkie, as silly as ever.
Time to turn on the charm.
Rarity, as beautiful as ever.
Rarity, entering in her lovely dress.
Rarity at Celestia's throne room.
"...our hearts would melt."
Everypony watching as Prince Blueblood and Rarity dance.
YES! Of course, I'll marry you!
Rarity, in her fantasy about the Gala.
You don't want to marry him, trust me, I have stories about him that would turn your coat white...er.
"But, I wanna see my true love!"
Angel Bunny on a mission.
"Girls! I haven't decided though."
Fluttershy: "Um ... Excuse me ..."
...Pinkie and Rarity looking at Fluttershy.
"I would like to attend the Gala too..."
"You? You want to go to the Gala?"
Flying happily through the Gala..in her fantasy.
The critters will love her, right?
Blue jays, and red jays, and green jays, and pink jays!
With a pink bird on her back, isn't that heavy?
Twilight doesn't know what to say.
Dashie standing on a part of a ceiling.
Applejack arrives at the scene.
Delta, requesting a juggernaut suit. I need protection from these fierce ponies.
Five friends want tickets and only two tickets are available.
Pinkie Pie: "And then I said, 'Oatmeal? Are you craz-' Oh."
"Girls, there's no use in arguing."
"Eh! This is my decision..."
"...and I'm gonna make it on my own, and I certainly can't think straight with all this noise..."
"...not to mention hunger."
Spike, why are you leaving too?
Meeting up with Spike and Twilight at the cafe.
Centerpiece or appetizer?
Remember, she's a pony, not a pony-shaped human.
Spike trying to keep Twilight in reality as always.
"Do you have any rubies? ...No?" (A simple "I'm sorry, we do not" would have sufficed)
"Okay. I'll have the hay fries, extra crispy."
Apparently, she cares for AJ and 'Shy more.
That waiter has some waiting skills.
Savoir Fare leading a drenched Daisy inside the café.
Rainbow Dash smiling down at Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle is not impressed with Rainbow Dash.
Like an angel in the sky.
This is my disapproving glare.
Arthur, Arthur, King of the Britons!
Rainbow Dash is a guardian angel from heaven.
Rainbow Dash looking down upon the world.
Ponies running desperately to get out of the rain.
Wet mane, before she could even eat.
"Twilight, it's raining."
"No, really?" (Classic Twilight Snark.)
Great, now I have the wet mane!
Oh, no, it's quite alright. After all...
We are the best of friends, are we not?
Twilight Sparkle has a neck tumor. So that's why she doesn't cut her hair.
Spike looks like he's eating his own arm.
Ooh you too, Spikey-Wikey.
Doesn't he look just... dandy?
Spike doesn't approve of girly antics.
"This is all about you, and how fabulous you'll look at The Grand Galloping Gala!"
Twilight is getting squished, while Rarity continues to dream about the Gala.
I got plenty of delicious food.
The dessert, not my auntie.
What do you say there, best friend?
"I hope you don't mind..."
"...but we're all doing a little spring cleaning for you."
"Better late than never, right?"
Angel disapproves of Fluttershy's fib.
Twilight asks Fluttershy to leave
Pinkie Pie and her friends throw Twilight up in the air.
Pinkie's got ponies with her.
Twilight's not liking this.
Twilight Sparkle is not amused.
"She'll give her extra ticket to the gala to me!"
The ponies surrounding Twilight.
"The Grand Galloping Gala?!
The way to a woman's heart is through offering her carrots.
"RRRRRUUUUUNNNNN!" (Wait for us, Twilight)
One of Twilight's disguises.
Spike's so cute, isn't he?
Golden Harvest stands on two hooves, pointing that Twilight's the other way.
Nopony would ever notice them.
Sweetie Drops, Daisy, Cherry Berry, Lemon Hearts and White Lightning harassing Twilight for the ticket.
The aforementioned five (and Derpy) watch as Twilight casts a spell...
Teleporting back to the Library.
Twilight and Spike burned out and dizzy after being teleported.
A little warning would have been nice...
"Now quick, lock the doors!"
Hasbro+Fluttershy with blue wing = Busted!
"Enough! I can't decide!"
Twilight's friends begin to feel sorry for her.
A-hem. (You know you've really bucked up when Fluttershy is giving you a death glare.)
Happily writing a letter.
Applejack and Rarity watching the two floating tickets.
Fluttershy seems confused.
Rainbow Dash, seems to have a worried expression.
The timing of this letter was intentional on Trollestia's part, wasn't it?
Now how are they able to carry the tickets in the air? What sorcery is this?
Applejack and Fluttershy heading out the door with their tickets.
Spike, waiting at the door with the tickets.
At least there's still one ticket left.
"How come I don't get a ticket to the Gala?"
I didn't forget you Spike, here's your ticket for good time's sake.
Aww...looks like Spike likes girly, fru-fru stuff after all.
...Don't worry, your secret's safe with me..
...You're not fooling her, Spike.
Sweet laugh, Applejack. Oh yeah, and you forgot to lock the door.
