What Goes Updo

Rainbow Dash: I can't believe the Crystal Empire Carnival's back in town! The moment that ribbon's cut, I am racing!

Applejack: I'm ridin' the rip-roarin' rides!

Twilight Sparkle: And I'm galloping to the games! With my trusty calculations for best buckball-throwing velocity to hula-hoop-catching probability, those carnival prizes are mine!

Pinkie Pie: [whines] I just hope Rarity shows up soon. They're about to cut the ribbon.

[crowd cheers]

[cameras clicking]

Mane Six sans Rarity: [gasp]

Princess Cadance: The Crystal Empire Carnival is now officially open!

[snip!]

[crowd cheers]

Princess Cadance: And to all your happy hooves, welcome!

[rapid footfalls]

[zoom!]

Mane Six sans Rarity: [coughing]

Pinkie Pie: Princess Cadance is trotting towards us! Act cool.

Mane Six sans Rarity: [shuddering]

Princess Cadance: What's wrong, ponies? Is something off with the opening day ceremonies?

Applejack: Not at all, Princess Cadance. We're just waitin' for our friend— Dangity-doo! That's one gem of an updo!

Mane Six sans Rarity: Oooooh...

Fluttershy: I wish I could wear my mane like that.

Princess Cadance: Well, you're in luck. There's a bejewel booth just up the way.

Mane Six sans Rarity: [sounds of awe]

Princess Cadance: Mane makeovers for all!

Mane Six sans Rarity: [gasp]

[zip!]

Mane Six sans Rarity: [cheer]

Princess Cadance: Yaaas!

[camera clicking]

Princess Cadance: Beautiful! Chic! Fierce! You ponies put the "you" in "fab-you-lous"! We have to get a sparkly selfie. Say "faboo"!

Mane Six sans Rarity: [laughing and cheering]

Rarity: Yoo-hoo!

Rest of Mane Six: Huh?

Pinkie Pie: [gasps] That must be Rarity!

[zip!]

Rarity: I am sorry I'm late, darlings. Rehearsal ran long, and you know how that... [gasps] My hoofness! Look at all of your updos!

Applejack: [chuckles] You dig? I think this apple really brings out my eyes.

Rest of Mane Six: [agreeing]

Rarity: I simply must have mine done in that style, too! Immediately!

[dramatic sting]

Rainbow Dash: Oh, no. The booth's boarded up.

Rarity: Now I'm stuck with a normal and boring – albeit amazing – mane. This moment can't get any worse!

[beeping]

Rarity: Ooh! New notification from Princess Cadance!

Rest of Mane Six: [gasp]

Rarity: Don't mind if I do! [gasps] The sparkly selfie of your updos? [faints]

Rest of Mane Six: [gasp]

[zip!]

Pinkie Pie: Oh, Rarity feels so bad.

Fluttershy: I knew we should've waited.

Twilight Sparkle: What are we gonna do?

Applejack: I've got it!

[zip!]

Rarity: [sighs]

Applejack: Hey, Rarity!

Rarity: [yelps]

[squeak!]

Applejack: How 'bout we become your personal sparkle stylists?

Rest of Mane Six: [cheer]

[hay rustling]

Applejack: Mm-hmm!

Twilight Sparkle: [laughs] Hmmm.

[zip!]

Fluttershy: Ahhh...

[spraying]

Pinkie Pie: Ahhh...

Rarity: Ooh, I am going to be the most fabulous pony here! Thank you—! [gasps, shrieks, barfs] You've made a mess of my mane!

Pinkie Pie: [laughs] I don't think it's all that bad.

[flump!]

Rarity: [growls] What have you done to me?!

Applejack: I've got it!

[zip!]

Applejack: Again.

[zip!]

Applejack: Pssst. All right. Solution's as easy as a toad tryin' to wrassle a flea. We just have to muss up our own manes to match Rarity's.

[zip!]

[whirring]

[ponies yelp]

Rainbow Dash: Whoo-hoo! Whooooaaaa! [laughs, yells]

[ponies screaming]

Twilight Sparkle: Ugh.

Applejack: [grunts]

[squeak!]

[ding!]

Fluttershy: Wheeee!

[whistle!]

[squeak!]

Applejack and Fluttershy: [laugh]

Rainbow Dash: Hey, Rarity.

Rarity: Hmm? [gasps, shrieks, barfs] Darlings, your manes! They're...

Fluttershy: Delightfully disheveled?

Pinkie Pie: Sweetly sloppy?

Applejack: Rootin' tootin' rumpled?

Mane Six sans Rarity: [laugh]

Rarity: But they were so beautiful before. Oh, you didn't have to do that just for me. Sure, I wanted to be included, but I should've accepted that I was late to partake in the fancy fun. On the bright side, at least you still have that sparkle selfie.

Mane Six sans Rarity: [laugh]

Princess Cadance: Yaaas!

Rarity: [gasps] Princess Cadance is trotting over here. Act cool!

[zip!]

Princess Cadance: Actually, I took the sparkle selfie down. After seeing Rarity left out, I realized it has lost its luster. Let's take another one.

Mane Six sans Rarity: [cheer, gasp]

Rarity: But your updo was the cutting-edge of coiffure!

Princess Cadance: And it still is. I love the untidy trend. So chic and low-maintenance.

Mane Six: [agreeing]

Princess Cadance: Say "messy do"!

Mane Six: [laughing]

Communication Shakedown

[ponies screaming]

Pinkie Pie: [screaming]

Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and Fluttershy: [screaming]

haunted house growls]

Rarity: [giggles]

Rest of Mane Six: [panting]

Pinkie Pie: All right, ponies! We're doing this carnival right! But there's still sights to be seen and treats to be eats! So what do we all want to do next?

Applejack: I – and this might shock some of y'all – feel like bobbin' for apples.

Rarity: I would like my muzzle painted. Even though there's clearly no improving this visage.

Rainbow Dash: I gotta play the mallet game. I need total strangers to know how strong I am.

Fluttershy: I'd like to ride the teacups!

Rest of Mane Six: Ooh.

[beat]

Fluttershy: I don't have a reason. Just seems fun.

Mane Six: [sigh]

Rarity: Seems we have not arrived at a consensus.

Pinkie Pie: [scoffs] That's no problem at all. Let's just split up, do separate stuff, then synchronize our plans in a group text.

Applejack: Hmm. Not a bad idea.

Rainbow Dash: I'm in.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay, I'm adding us all in a text together. And go!

[beeping]

Rainbow Dash: And... break!

[zip!]

Rainbow Dash: Never mind!

[zip!]

Applejack: Now, if I know apples like I think I do, just gotta factor in the weight of the submerged Fujis with the bulk of the honeycrisps, minus the displacement of the red delicious... There it is! [chuckles] The biggest apple in the bushel! [grunts] Yee-haw! [chomps]

Pony Running the Booth: That was the best bobbin' these baby-blues have ever seen!

Applejack: Well, shucks. Thank you kindly. So what's my prize?

Pony Running the Booth: Well... it's the apple.

Applejack: Huh. Fair enough. [chomps]

Face Painter: Almost finished. No peeking.

Rarity: Hmmm... Darling, I think you're doing a top-notch job. Just a few suggestions on the intricacies of capturing the butterfly's delicate wings. I could, um... Well, I'll just finish it myself.

[heavenly music]

Fluttershy: Whoo-hooooo! This is so exhilarating! I've never known excitement like this! I am on a nonstop thrill ride, and I never want to get off!

[teacups creaking]

Rainbow Dash: You ponies dare me to win?!

Pony: [indifferent grunt]

Rainbow Dash: Oh, well. I dare myself! [grunts]

[squeak!]

[ding!]

Rainbow Dash: [laughs, kisses]

Reuse Pony: [gasps] Would you look at that?!

[ponies gasp]

Reuse Pony: I bet the prize for a win that big is enormous!

Rainbow Dash: Ugh. I'll just have my memory of this moment as my prize.

[squeak!]

[crashing sounds]

Pinkie Pie: Wow! That was awesomazing! Better check in with everypony so we can meet up and have even more fun together! "Hey, anyone around or what?" And send! Perfect!

[phones beeping and buzzing]

Rarity: "Anyone around or what?" I didn't think we were gone that long. Is she implying that I've been dillying? Or worse – dallying?!

Applejack: If she wanted us to meet up sooner, she should've said somethin'.

Fluttershy: W-What did I do?

Twilight Sparkle: Wow. No smiley face? Is she mad at me?

Rainbow Dash: "Anyone around or what?" [scoffs] Of course I'm around. I'm gonna answer, "Yeah!"

[beep]

Rest of Mane Six: Huh?

Rarity: This cannot be good!

Fluttershy: "You OK?"

[phone beeps]

Rainbow Dash: "You OK?" Wow. Okay, Fluttershy. Message received! Time to reply in all caps! "I THINK SO!"

Pinkie Pie: "Whatever."

Mane Six: [whimper and sigh]

[Ferris wheel creaking]

[sad music]

[hissing]

[phones ring]

Mane Six: Oh, hey, it's you! Huh. Hey, stop saying what I'm saying! Stop saying what I'm saying! I wasn't really mad. It's just 'cause of that really weird text.

Pinkie Pie: Enough! I mean, we had to put an end to this sometime.

Applejack: Hey, Pinkie? You mean you weren't really mad at us?

Pinkie Pie: No, not at all! This has been a great day! Maybe we just needed to communicate a little bit better.

Rarity: Well, I can say that I'd love to do a little less texting and a little more talking face-to-face. Especially with fabulous friends like you.

Rest of Mane Six: Awwww!

Pinkie Pie: Look! More treats to be eats! Who wants some? It's on meeee!

Rest of Mane Six: [cheer and laugh]

Pinkie Pie: [chomps] Mmmm!
