Preparing for the Gala[]
Pinkie is happy, like always.
Derpin' happy!
Pinkie's uncontrollable joy for the Grand Galloping Gala.
Mid-air rotation.
Air-kickin' happy!

It's hard to read when this is happening.
Twilight trying to concentrate.
"Please stop shouting."
Rarity isn't liking what she notices.
Air brakes.
Oddly solid landing.
Twilight studies with intense concentration.
Spike and Pinkie watching Twilight read.
She's got an awesome magic spell she's been working on for the Gala.
Where are the others? It's getting late.
Hold your horses, girl. We're here.
"Perfect! I'm ready!"
I can do this!
Perfect! I'm ready.
Oh hey, an apple!
Are we having pie?
It's alive!
That's a very nice chariot.
Even Rarity wishes she could do that.
Her mane is a mouse nest?
"They are gonna be okay, right?"
Fluttershy's mice friends.
Just watch, guys.
Uncanny valley?
Looks like Twilight's friends don't quite get it yet.
Don't worry, they'll be mice again at midnight.
Ta-da.
I see large mice.
"Opalescence, no!"
"MEOW!"
Opal looks a little too happy.
Opal. Those are horses not mice.
Hi ho, Silver!
"Those Horses were supposed to pull our carriage"
You say that as if Horses are hard to come by
"Oh, whatever shall we do?!"
Rarity has a back-up plan.

"C'mon, let me in, please?"
"But we're not dressed!"
Applejack has a comment with Rarity.
"We normally don't wear clothes."
"Ughhhhhh!"
"Some of us DO have standards"
I can't wait, guys.
Rainbow Dash looks awesome in this pic, don't you think?
Those fake eyelashes seem to pretty straining to apply.
Putting on fake eyelashes.
Brushie, hoof, brushie!
Fluttershy does not like a spit shine.
Happy, flat-haired Pinkie Pie is so cute...or is she?
Re-pop!
"Oh."
"Oh, okay. You guys have fun then."
"Don't worry Spike."
"We'll all get to spend time together."
"Great!"
Approaching the Gala[]
Spike can hear the eagerness of the ponies.
Spike is the chauffeur.
The ponies talking inside the carriage.
Let's get going!
Excuse me?
"If you weren't friends with our neighbor, Rarity...Huh!"
Whew!
Will the carriage even fit that bridge?
Canterlot looks simply magical in the sunset.
Canterlot in all of its glory.

Last stop, the Grand Galloping Gala.
Come out, ladies.
Glass shoes, fancy.
Taking a peek.

Meeting expectations[]
This hallway lacks the use of security from the Canterlot guards.

"This is even better than I thought."
Fluttershy, entering the gardens
"Oh my."
"I think she's calling to me."
"This is exactly what I've wished for!"
Singing for the Meadowlark.
She hears the Meadowlark respond.
Moving her stand to where there are ponies around.
Time to start selling.
Food all set up.
"Well, what's you're hungering for? Caramel apple? Apple pie? Apple fritter? Apple fries?"
"I'll take that big apple pie!"
"Yee-haw!"
"In the first minute, I made my first sale. Just like I expected."
Happy about her first sell.
Soarin making his way back to the VIP place.
"Always hungry after a show, eh, Soarin?"
Accidentally letting go of his beloved pie.

No time to waste
Dash for the rescue!
The pie has been saved, thanks to Rainbow Dash!
Wow, he wasn't even this happy when she saved his life
Walking away with his pie.

The fancy band!
Pretty!
Fancy!
"Gotta Dance!"
Pinkie dancing at the Gala.
"Nobody grooves/Like the girls with the hooves..."
Dancing on a statue...
..Put your hooves up in the air!
The ponies don't necessarily approve of Pinkie's dancing.
Interrupting the music.
Huh colt. This is gonna be one of THOSE gigs, isn't it?
Hi There! Your F Sharp needs tuning.
Hugging two ponies a little too tightly.
Singing at the top of her lungs.
Lemony Gem and "Serena"'s cutie marks revealed
Wait a minute.
"It's all I ever...dreamed?"
Not what they've expected[]
Sniffing a lovely rose.
"Well, hello. I am Prince Blueblood."
"I am...Rarity."
Rarity grins widely.
"It goes with my eyes."
Rarity is diasppointed.
Fluttershy eager to find the whistler.
Happy Fluttershy.
"My little meadowlark is right around this bend!"
Whistling coming from a blank-flanked fellow gardener.
"Was that you?"
"Yup! I love whistlin' while I work!"
Fluttershy finds her mystery whistler.
"Oh! Yes... Well... Excuse me."
"I must meet them."
"Ooh, more animals!"
I scared them.
Why do I have such a loudmouth?
"Oh, Fluttershy. You're such a loudmouth."
Ponies minding their own business.
Spitfire and Soarin.
Dash getting through a crowd.
Trying to get Spitfire's attention.
Soarin, doesn't notice Rainbow Dash.
Determined to get the Wonderbolts' attention.
"First minute, first sale."
"This ain't what I expected at all."
"I'm at the Grand Galloping Gala... and it's not what I dreamed."
Who will take the last seat?
"This isn't at all what I imagined."
"This isn't what I hoped."
Rainbow Dash, stands out.
"This isn't hanging out."
"This isn't what I wished for."
"No!"
"I've waited all my life-"
"For this moment-"
"And I'm not going to-"
"Let it slip by!"
"If it's the last thing I do--"
"I'm gonna make this..."
"The best night ever!"
Livening things up[]
Setting a trap.
"I think I got something."
"I just wanna be your... friend?"
The gardener eating the carrot.
"Sounds good to me!"
I didn't mean you...
If they don't notice you, make them notice you!
Dashie gets an idea.
"Up you go!"
Don't worry, Rainbow Dash to the rescue.
"You're welcome, sir."
"I'm sure the Wonderbolts will see me now."
The Wonderbolts don't notice Rainbow Dash.
Forget it.
That didn't go well.
Sure, this seems like a gentlemanly gesture, but don't hold your breath.
I know he must have a charming side.
Just look at those eyes, he's such a fool.
If you wouldn't mind.
This colt is not a gentlepony.
The Pony Pokey[]
"Ooh, I got a great idea!"
Telling her plan to the piano player.
Whisper whisper.
Hmm?
Oh dear.
"Attention party ponies!"
*Gasp*
Pinkie gives the orchestra the cue.
They begin to play the Pony Pokey.
Vigorous hoof-shake.
Ouch...
Ow, my hoof.
Apples are on the way.
Ack!
Applejack helps him to get up.
Want some apple treats, fellow pony?
Star Gazer isn't interested.
Saddened Applejack.
Two of the Wonderbolts chatting.
Rainbow almost gets their attention.
They are taken away.
Taking a photo...
I gotta do this!
If you would insist...
...Please, be a gentlecolt...
...I insist, you do it.
I said you do it! Understand me, Blueblood?!
What?
I refuse to!
Rarity is so shocked at Blueblood's behavior, her tiara disappears!
Rarity is angry. (Since when did you have access to "the stare"?)
"Ahh!!!"
Fluttershy is having a hard time.
Come back here!
I am so frustrated!
Where are you, you little squirrel??
Scary Fluttershy.
"COME OUT!!!!"
YAH!!!!!!
He hits a much higher chord on the ivories...
Pinkie plays Octavia's instrument for her.
Pinkie knocking into Octavia.
Dancing.
"Yeah!"
"Young lady! This is not that kind of party!"
"Ooooohhhhhh..."
"They don't want to party. These ponies want to PAR-TAY!"
The worst night ever[]
Bored Applejack is bored.
"Hey Rarity!"
They almost look like a cute couple, don't they? ...Almost...
"Two apple fritters comin' right up. That'll be four bits."
Who's gonna pay?
"It's okay, Rarity. I got you covered."
Here ya go...
About to take a bite...
"My tongue!"
"My royal lips have touched common carnival fare!"
"I'm going to the buffet for some... hors d'oeuvres."
Angry Rarity follows.
"Well, no wonder nopony wants my food. They're fillin' up on those fancy-schmancy vittles. Well, my down-home apples are plenty good enough for this crowd. I'll just dress 'em up a bit and prove it to 'em."
Fluttershy's crazy side emerges.
If critters run away, MAKE 'EM COME AND PLAY!
"Ah."
Its a trap...err too late.
Trapped in her own net.
Dreams can shatter though.
DJ Pinkie.
Ready to party Pinkie style?
...It's going to be so much fun!
Personal space? Never heard of her, but she's welcome to dance too!
Uh, Pinkie...
The poor pony getting thrown away.
How did you get over there?
"Okay, all you high-class ponies. Here's a highfalutin apple cake for your hoity-toity taste buds."
"These ponies will eat them, I'm sure."
"Stage Diiiiive!"
This won't be good.
This way...
A cake is on its way.
Seriously?
She's had it with this so-called Prince.
Did you know that you're a horse's rear end, Blueblood?
"You, sir, are the most UN-charming prince I have ever seen!"
"In fact, the only thing royal about you is that you are a royal PAIN!!!"
You're all messy...
"Stay back! I just had myself groomed!"
"Afraid to get DIRTY?!!"
Here have some cake!
He can't stand being dirty.
Now's my chance!
The crowd and The Wonderbolts are stunned.
I did it!
Uh oh.
Do you even lift?
Watching as the chaos unfolds...
...which causes this to happen.
Princess Celestia and Twilight.
Ooh...
"Well...it can't get any worse." (You just had to say that, didn't you Twilight?)
"You're going to LOVE ME!"
(Run! It's Flutterage!)
(Run! It's Flutterage!)
Run.
Come quickly!
Well, that squirrel won't be stealing any more birdseed...
Cinderella?
"NO!"
Donut Joe's shop[]
I want another one!
Spike needs to watch his sugar
I get what I want!
"Twilight Sparkle, ha-ha! Long time no see."
That was a wild night.
"How was your best night ever?"
"That sounds like the worst night ever!"
"It was!"
"Hee hee..."
She's not the slightest upset.
A wonderful group of friends, and Princess Celestia.
Just your usual doughnut party with an Alicorn.
