The Science of Magic

 * The Rainbooms: [conversing] Huh?
 * Rainbow Dash: Uh, I thought we were rehearsing.
 * Sunset Shimmer: Well, you are. Sort of. Back when I was Princess Celestia's student, I learned best by going out into the field and actually doing something. Studying ancient books is fine for some people, but I like to solve magical mysteries by rolling up my sleeves and getting my hooves... uh, hands dirty.
 * [glove snaps]
 * Applejack: I can relate to workin' hard outdoors, but what the hay does that have to do with us playin' music?
 * Sunset Shimmer: I'm trying to figure out how magic works here. Why you grow ears, tails, and wings when you pony up and what your instruments have to do with it.
 * Fluttershy: Um, are you sure we need to figure it out?
 * Sunset Shimmer: It'll be fun. Just start playing. You won't even know I'm here.

 * Sunset Shimmer: Finally, after all this testing, I've come to a definitive conclusion! [electricity crackles] [coughs] I have no idea how magic works in this world. [groans]
