WHOO-HOO!

WINONA?
I MEAN, WINONA'S HEAD?!
UM, IS THIS WEIRD, OR IS IT JUST ME?
ANGEL?!
GUMMY?!
OKAY, THIS IS OFFICIALLY BEYOND WEIRD NOW
AND MOVED RIGHT ON DOWN TO FREAKY TOWN.
AAAAAAH!
WAAH!
WHEW!
* MY LITTLE PONY *
* AH-AH-AH-AH *
* MY LITTLE PONY *
* I USED TO WONDER WHAT FRIENDSHIP COULD BE *
* MY LITTLE PONY *
* UNTIL YOU ALL SHARED ITS MAGIC WITH ME *
* BIG ADVENTURE ♪ ♪ TONS OF FUN *
* A BEAUTIFUL HEART FAITHFUL AND STRONG *
* SHARING KINDNESS ♪ ♪ IT'S AN EASY FEAT *
* AND MAGIC MAKES IT ALL COMPLETE *
* YEAH, MY LITTLE PONY *
* DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALL MY VERY BEST FRIENDS? *
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, SWEETIE.
LET'S GET THIS THING STARTED.
SINCEREST APOLOGIES, RAINBOW,
IF OUR PETS WERE BOTHERING YOU.
SAY YOU'RE SORRY, OPAL.
SHE'S SORRY.
WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING OUT HERE?
WHY, WE ALWAYS ROUND UP OUR CRITTERS
FOR A REGULAR OLD PONY PET PLAY DATE IN THIS PARK.
UH, YOU DO?
SAME TIME EVERY WEEK.
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW. YOU DIDN'T KNOW?
SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
WELL, WE HAD INITIALLY PLANNED ON
INVITING RAINBOW, OF COURSE,
EXCEPT…
WE WERE TOTALLY GONNA INVITE YOU, RAINBOW,
THEN TWILIGHT REMEMBERED THAT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A PET.
AND RARITY REMEMBERED
THAT YOU REALLY LIKE TAKING NAPS IN THE AFTERNOON.
SO APPLEJACK FIGURED YOU WOULDN'T BE MISSING OUT
ON ANYTHING ANYWAY.
AND FLUTTERSHY AND I
NODDED OUR HEADS IN AGREEMENT LIKE THIS.
OH, PLEASE DON'T BE MAD AT US.
OH, I'M NOT MAD.
YOU ALL ARE RIGHT.
NOT MUCH POINT OF A PONY PET PLAY DATE FOR ME
IF I'M A PONY WITHOUT A PET, RIGHT?
EXACTLY.
SO, IF'N YOU'LL EXCUSE US.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, WINONA.
[ TALKING, BARKING, HOOTING CONTINUES ]
HEY, NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A PET NOW
DOESN'T MEAN I NEVER WANT A PET.
OH, REALLY?!
YOU REALLY WANT A PET?! REALLY?!
'CAUSE I'VE GOT SO MANY WONDERFUL CHOICES AT MY HOUSE.
OH, AND I KNOW YOU'LL JUST LOVE THEM,
AND THEY'LL LOVE YOU!
OH! AND YOU'LL BE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER AND EVER!
* NOW, RAINBOW, MY DEAR I CANNOT EXPRESS MY DELIGHT *
* IT'S ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE *
* IS A PET THAT WILL SUIT YOU JUST RIGHT *
* I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED *
* BUT FIRST, LET ME SET A FEW RULES *
* IT'S OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THE PET THAT I GET *
* IS SOMETHING THAT'S AWESOME AND COOL *
AWESOME, COOL… GOT IT.
* I HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL CHOICES *
* JUST WAIT, YOU WILL SEE *
* I NEED SOMETHING REAL FAST LIKE A BULLET *
* TO KEEP UP WITH ME *
* SURE HOW ABOUT A BUNNY? *
* THEY'RE CUTSIE AND WOOTSIE AND QUICK AS CAN BE *
CUTSIE, WOOTSIE? HAVE YOU EVEN MET ME?
* RAINBOW, HAVE FAITH *
* YOU SEE, I WILL BET YOU *
* SOMEWHERE IN HERE IS A PET THAT WILL GET YOU *
COME ON, THE SKY'S THE LIMIT.
SKY IS GOOD. I'D LIKE IT TO FLY.
REALLY? BECAUSE I THINK THIS WITTLE PUTTY TAT
HAS YOUR NAME WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
YES, HE DOES.
AWW, AND LOOK, HE LIKES YOU!
PASS.
* I HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL CHOICES FOR YOU TO DECIDE *
* THERE ARE OTTERS AND SEALS WITH MASSIVE APPEAL *
OTTERS AND SEALS DO NOT FLY.
MAYBE NOT, BUT I'VE SEEN THIS PARTICULAR SEAL
CATCH 10 FEET OF AIR WHEN HE BREACHES THE WATER.
THAT'S IT. I'M OUT OF HERE.
* WAIT, THERE MUST BE A PET HERE *
* THAT WILL FIT THE TICKET *
* HOW ABOUT A LADYBUG OR A CUTE CRICKET? *
BIGGER AND COOLER.
BIGGER, COOLER, RIGHT.
* I'VE GOT JUST THE THING IN THAT TREE, DASH *
* MEET YOUR NEW FABULOUS PET SQUIRRELLY-Y-Y-Y *
IT'S JUST A SQUIRREL.
NOT JUST ANY SQUIRREL… A FLYING SQUIRREL.
YEAH, SO, LIKE I WAS SAYING…
* FLUTTERSHY, PAL *
* THIS WON'T CUT IT *
* I NEED A PET TO KEEP UP WITH ME *
* SOMETHING AWESOME *
* SOMETHING FLYING *
* WITH COOLNESS THAT DEFIES GRAVITY *
I'M SENSING YOU WANT AN ANIMAL THAT CAN FLY.
YOU THINK?
* I HAVE PLENTY OF WONDERFUL CREATURES WHO SOAR IN THE SKY *
* LIKE A SWEET HUMMINGBIRD OR A GIANT MONARCH BUTTERFLY *
BETTER, BUT COOLER.
I SEE.
* HOW ABOUT AN OWL? OR A WASP? *
* OR A TOUCAN? *
* THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL CREATURES THE LIKES OF THAT *
* THERE ARE FALCONS AND EAGLES *
* THEY ARE BOTH QUITE REGAL *
* PERHAPS WHAT YOU NEED IS A DARK AND MYSTERIOUS BAT *
NOW YOU'RE TALKING!
BUT INSTEAD OF JUST ONE STANDOUT,
NOW THAT'S TOO MANY.
* SO MANY CHOICES *
* AND SUCH RICHES APLENTY *
NOT A BAD PROBLEM TO HAVE IF YOU ASK ME.
* THE BAT WOULD BE AWESOME *
* BUT THE WASP, I'M DIGGING, TOO *
* DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN A YELLOW-STRIPED BAT? *
NO.
* I'VE GOT A HOT PINK FLAMINGO *
* JUST DYING TO MEET YOU *
* WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO? *
OF COURSE! THAT'S IT!
* THERE'S REALLY JUST ONE WAY *
* TO FIND OUT WHICH ANIMAL'S BEST *
* HOLD A CONTEST *
* OF SPEED *
* AGILITY AND GUTS *
* THAT WILL PUT EACH PET TO THE TE-E-E-E-E-ST *
282 THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED *
* THEN WE'LL KNOW FOR SURE WHO'S BEST OF THE LITTER *
* THE ONE WHO IS AWESOME IS COOL *
* JUST LIKE ME! *
* CAN'T SETTLE FOR LESS 'CAUSE I'M THE BEST *
* SO A CONTEST, WE WILL SEE *
* WHO'S THE NUMBER-ONE GREATEST PERFECTEST PET *
* IN THE WORLD FOR ME-E-E-E-E? *
* MAY THE GAMES BEGI-I-I-I-I-I-I-N *
AND MAY THE BEST PET WIN!
Rainbow Dash: SHH!
SO, YOU ALL THINK YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES
TO BE MY PET, DO YOU?
WELL, WE'LL JUST SEE ABOUT THAT.
IF ANY OF YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT,
BOW OUT NOW BEFORE YOU HUMILIATE YOURSELF IN FRONT OF YOUR PEERS.
THIS COMPETITION ISN'T FOR THE WEAK.
YOU'D BETTER BE PREPARED TO STEP UP YOUR GAME!
YOU CALL THAT FLAPPING?!
THAT'S BETTER!
THERE'S ONLY ROOM ON TEAM DASH FOR ONE OF YOU,
AND MY FUTURE PET NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE EXTREME.
ANY QUESTIONS?
I GOT ONE.
DOES SHE UNDERSTAND WHAT A PET REALLY NEEDS?
YEAH, LIKE CARE AND ATTENTION, LOVE AND AFFECTION.
UGH! AND BREATH MINTS!
NOW, YOU JUST PAY ATTENTION AND TRY YOUR BEST AND…
SERIOUSLY, FLUTTERSHY, THE TURTLE?!
WHAT DID YOU BRING THAT THING HERE FOR?
TECHNICALLY, HE'S A TORTOISE,
AND HE'S ALWAYS DREAMED OF BEING SOMEPONY'S PET.
HE JUST WANTS A CHANCE TO COMPETE.
HE WON'T GET IN THE WAY. YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW HE'S HERE.
NO!
OH, JUST LET HIM TRY.
BUT THERE'S NO WAY HE CAN POSSIBLY KEEP UP!
LOOK AT HIM.
IT WON'T HURT TO LET HIM TRY.
BUT…
JUST LET HIM TRY.
FINE!
BUT DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!
THIS ISN'T A GAME, YOU KNOW!
ALL RIGHT, NOW, THESE GAMES WILL DETERMINE WHICH ONE OF YOU
HAS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITIES I'M LOOKING FOR IN A PET.
SPEED!
AGILITY!
GUTS!
376
COOLNESS!
AWESOMENESS!
AND RADICALNESS!
AREN'T THOSE ALL THE SAME THING?
YOU WOULD THINK THAT, TWILIGHT,
AND THAT'S WHY YOU WOULD NEVER QUALIFY TO BE MY PET.
Rainbow Dash: SPEED!
ON YOUR MARKS…
…GET SET…
SORT OF SPEEDY.
NOT SPEEDY.
PRETTY SPEEDY.
COULD BE MORE SPEEDY.
YEAH, THAT'S SPEED!
THAT'S JUST SAD.
AGILITY!
SORT OF AGILE.
NOT AGILE.
PRETTY AGILE.
COULD BE MORE AGILE.
WANT TO KNOW THE OPPOSITE OF AGILITY?
THAT.
WHOO-HOO!
YEAH, BABY!
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL AGILITY!
DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING!
I'M GONNA HAVE TO SHAVE A POINT OFF YOUR SCORE FOR THAT.
OKAY, WHICH OF YOU HAS THE GUTS
TO TRY AND GET OPAL'S FAVORITE TOY AWAY FROM HER?
HA! NOW THAT TAKES GUTS!
452
ANY PET OF MINE'S GOT TO LOOK GOOD
'CAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE ME LOOK GOOD.
COOLNESS!
SORT OF COOL.
NOT COOL.
PRETTY COOL.
COULD BE COOLER.
NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND.
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
EWW!
NOW THAT'S A COOL SOUND!
SORT OF AWESOME.
NOT AWESOME.
COULD BE MORE AWESOME.
OH-HO-HO, YEAH! THAT IS AWESOME!
UH, YOU DID THAT ALREADY.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL YOU CAN DO, HUH?
[ GLASSES CHIMING "MY LITTLE PONY" THEME ]
WHOA!
THAT WAS TRULY AWESOME!
BUT I'M AFRAID THIS IS THE RADICALNESS COMPETITION,
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE SOME POINTS OFF.
LISTEN, TURTLE.
TORTOISE.
WHATEVER!
YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN,
BUT I THINK YOU AND I BOTH KNOW WHO MADE THE CUT
AND WHO DIDN'T.
YOU DIDN'T.
I MEAN, "A" FOR EFFORT AND EVERYTHING.
YOU GAVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT.
MAYBE I'VE GOT A GOLD-STAR STICKER
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE YOU CAN HAVE,
BUT, SERIOUSLY, GO HOME.
YOU'RE STARTING TO CREEP ME OUT.
SO, ANYWAY…
YOU'RE ALL OUTSTANDING COMPETITORS.
BUT THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE OF YOU WHO'S NUMBER ONE.
SO THE FINAL TIE-BREAKING CONTEST IS GOING TO BE…
PAUSE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT.
A RACE AGAINST…
…ME!
THROUGH GHASTLY GORGE!
DUN-DUN-DU-U-U-N!
GESUNDHEIT.
ACTUALLY, GHASTLY GORGE ISN'T SCARY.
IT'S FUN.
I'VE FLOWN THROUGH IT A MILLION TIMES MYSELF,
SO, UH, OBVIOUSLY, I'LL BE AT THE FRONT OF THE PACK.
BUT WHICHEVER OF YOU MAKE IT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE WITH ME
WILL HAVE PROVEN YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH ME
AND WILL HAVE EARNED THE HONOR AND GLORY
OF GETTING TO BE MY PET.
READY…
SET, GO!
[ WAGNER'S "RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES" PLAYING ]
WHOO-HOO!
TRY TO KEEP UP!
CAN'T CATCH ME!
[ WHISTLING "RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES" ]
COME ON, SLOWPOKES!
YOU WANT TO WIN, DON'T YOU?
OH, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU…
WATCH OUT FOR THE QUARRY EELS!
THEY DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU GET TOO CLOSE TO THEIR NESTS!
LIKE THIS!
EASY-PEASY, ONE-TWO-THREESY.
RIGHT, GUYS?!
AVALANCHE!
HEY!
WHOA!
COME ON!
NO, WAIT, COME BACK!
DON'T LEAVE ME!
I'M THE ONE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO WIN!
I DON'T WANT TO END UP STUCK HERE…
…FOREVER!
OH, NO, NO. NO, NO, NO.
T-T-THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!
FOREVER IS WAY TOO LONG TO BE TRAPPED IN GHASTLY GORGE!
I MEAN, IT'S, LIKE…
FOREVER!
SOMEPONY, ANYPONY, HELP ME!
HELP ME!
WAHOO!
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!
OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK… YOU?!
OH, NO!
NOW I'M NOT ONLY GONNA BE STUCK HERE FOREVER,
I'M GONNA BE STUCK HERE FOREVER
WITH THE MOST ANNOYING TURTLE IN THE WORLD!
I'M DOOMED… DOOMED, I TELL YOU!
WHOA! WAY TO GO, FALCON, YEAH! ALL RIGHT!
WHOO-HOO!
GOOD!
YEAH.
YEAH, WAY TO GO.
HMM.
SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT HERE.
WHERE'S RAINBOW DASH?
GREAT GALLOPIN' GALOSHES!
THERE'S BEEN AN AVALANCHE IN THERE!
RAINBOW!
OH, DEAR!
WAIT, LOOK!
IT'S THE TURTLE!
TORTOISE! TORTOISE! TORTOISE! TORTOISE!
WHATEVER.
AND HE'S CARRYING SOMETHING ON HIS BACK.
IT'S RAINBOW DASH!
IT'S HER! IT'S RAINBOW!
MAYBE WE'D BETTER GO MEET THEM HALFWAY.
HA! WAY TO GO, LITTLE GUY!
OH, THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE NOT HURT, RAINBOW.
JUST MY PRIDE.
I CERTAINLY HOPE ALL OF THIS DREADFUL DUST WAS WORTH IT!
AH-CHOO!
IT SURE WAS IF'N IT MEANS RAINBOW GETS TO HAVE
HER OWN LITTLE CRITTER JUST LIKE THE REST OF US FROM NOW ON.
UH, THANKS.
WHAT YOU DID…
I OWE YOU ONE.
RAINBOW, YOUR NEW PET IS OVER HERE WAITING FOR YOU.
OOH! WHOA!
OH, RIGHT. YEAH. THAT.
W-WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU GOT YOUR PERFECT PET, RIGHT?
THE BEST OF THE BEST LIKE YOU WANTED, REMEMBER?
IT CAN FLY, AND IT'S NOT A SQUIRREL.
SHOULD WE SING ABOUT IT AGAIN?
A FALCON SURE LOOKS GOOD ON YOU, RAINBOW.
EASY, FELLA. NOTHIN' TO BE AFRAID OF.
A FALCON SURE DOES LOOK COOL.
HE'S ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING I WANTED IN A PET.
YAY?
BUT I SAID WHOEVER CROSSES THE FINISH LINE WITH ME
GETS TO BE MY PET.
YOU DID! YOU DID SAY THAT!
SHE DID SAY THAT! THAT WAS THE RULE!
AND THE ONLY RACER WHO CROSSED THE FINISH LINE WITH ME
WAS THE ONE WHO STOPPED TO SAVE ME WHEN I NEEDED HELP,
THE TORTOISE!
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE…?
WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?
HE EVEN SMILES SLOW.
AWW!
SPIKE, TAKE A LETTER.
DEAR PRINCESS CELESTIA,
I USED TO THINK THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT TRAITS
TO LOOK FOR IN A PET OR ANY BEST FRIEND
WERE ALL PHYSICAL, COMPETITIVE ABILITIES.
BUT NOW I CAN SEE
HOW SHORTSIGHTED AND SHALLOW THAT WAS.
TODAY, I LEARNED WHAT THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY REALLY IS…
A CERTAIN KIND OF SPIRIT, A STICK-TO-IT-IVE-NESS.
A NEVER-GIVE-UP, CAN-DO ATTITUDE
THAT'S THE MARK OF A REAL WINNER.
AND THIS TORTOISE HAS IT.
TENACITY.
GESUNDHEIT.
YOU JUST CAN'T STOP THAT LITTLE GUY.
HE'S LIKE A… LIKE A…
TANK!
BUT, RAINBOW, YOU DIDN'T WANT A PET THAT COULDN'T FLY
BECAUSE IT WOULD KEEP YOU GROUNDED AND HOLD YOU BACK,
REMEMBER?
HMM.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON OVER HERE, WINONA!
COME ON, TANK!
WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR OUR VERY FIRST PONY PET PLAY DATE!
* MY LITTLE PONY *
* FRIENDS *
