1
00:00:01,961 --> 00:00:03,044
( upbeat theme playing )

2
00:00:03,170 --> 00:00:04,421
( train engine chugging )

3
00:00:04,546 --> 00:00:07,007
You absolutely sure
you can do this?

4
00:00:07,132 --> 00:00:09,176
Of course. Wouldn't have agreed
to it if I couldn't.

5
00:00:09,301 --> 00:00:10,427
Piece of cake.

6
00:00:10,552 --> 00:00:12,095
Speaking of cake,

7
00:00:12,220 --> 00:00:14,264
I've got a little something
I need to attend to.

8
00:00:14,389 --> 00:00:17,351
Yeah, like keeping an eye
on a house full of critters.

9
00:00:18,853 --> 00:00:21,689
Uh, yeah, that was totally
what I was talking about.

10
00:00:21,814 --> 00:00:23,983
Relax.
Go do your welcoming thing

11
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:25,233
in the Crystal Empire.

12
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:26,986
Spike's got it all
under control.

13
00:00:32,616 --> 00:00:34,827
( Opal screeching
and Winona barking )

14
00:00:34,952 --> 00:00:37,746
Hurry up, Twilight,
we can't miss our train!

15
00:00:37,872 --> 00:00:39,414
Tickets.

16
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,208
APPLEJACK:
Oh, this is gonna be
a real treat.

17
00:00:41,333 --> 00:00:42,835
Princess Cadance said
she's never seen

18
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,545
the Crystal Ponies
so excited.

19
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:47,214
RAINBOW DASH:
Duh.
Of course they're excited.

20
00:00:47,339 --> 00:00:49,174
They're up
for the Equestria Games.

21
00:00:49,299 --> 00:00:51,092
It's only the biggest
sporting event

22
00:00:51,218 --> 00:00:52,887
in all of Equestria.

23
00:00:53,012 --> 00:00:55,681
Didn't Cloudsdale host
the Equestria Games one year?

24
00:00:55,806 --> 00:00:59,393
No. Cloudsdale should've hosted
the games one year.

25
00:00:59,518 --> 00:01:03,271
I'll never forget
when we got the bad news.

26
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,819
GAMES ANNOUNCER PONY:
The Equestria Games go to

27
00:01:08,944 --> 00:01:12,447
the city of Phillydelphia.

28
00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:15,576
No!

29
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:19,997
These Crystal Ponies
lost a thousand years

30
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:21,916
to an evil king's curse.

31
00:01:22,041 --> 00:01:24,251
They've had enough bad news.
No way we're letting them

32
00:01:24,376 --> 00:01:27,128
experience the pain
of losing out on these games.

33
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:30,007
Exactly. Princess Cadance
is counting on us

34
00:01:30,131 --> 00:01:32,217
to do our part to convince
the Games Inspector

35
00:01:32,342 --> 00:01:33,677
to choose
the Crystal Empire.

36
00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:36,764
And we are not
gonna let her down, are we?

37
00:01:36,889 --> 00:01:41,643
No!

38
00:01:41,769 --> 00:01:45,397
What? I was just answering
Twilight's question.

39
00:01:47,066 --> 00:01:51,028

50

PONIES:
Four, three, two, one.

51
00:02:25,938 --> 00:02:27,606
The Crystal Empire,
that's the one!

52
00:02:27,731 --> 00:02:29,817
Okay, everypony. Great job.

53
00:02:29,942 --> 00:02:31,276
Sounds like we're ready.

54
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:33,570
( all speaking
indistinctly )

55
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:37,156
One more time. From the top.

56
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:38,408
Oh.
Oh, please.

57
00:02:38,533 --> 00:02:39,952
I think that was perfect.

58
00:02:40,077 --> 00:02:42,329
Agh. But we've run this
like 12 times already.

59
00:02:42,454 --> 00:02:43,664
I think we've got it.

60
00:02:43,789 --> 00:02:45,332
Cadance said
the Games Inspector

61
00:02:45,457 --> 00:02:47,501
really puts folks through
the ringer on her visits.

62
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:49,336
There's no margin for error
here.

63
00:02:49,461 --> 00:02:51,672
And this time, we need
to practice the steps.

64
00:02:51,797 --> 00:02:53,841
On a train car?

65
00:02:53,966 --> 00:02:56,510
You heard the pony.
On your hooves.

66
00:02:56,635 --> 00:02:59,054
ALL:
Two, four, six, eight.

67
00:02:59,178 --> 00:03:01,015
( rumbling
and all screaming )

68
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:04,726
Crystal Empire, ladies.

69
00:03:04,852 --> 00:03:07,604
Watch your step
leaving the train.

70
00:03:08,647 --> 00:03:09,815
( sighs )

71
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:11,274
Probably should've watched
our step

72
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:12,609
while we were still
on it too.

73
00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:14,736
( engine chugging )

74
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:19,533
Wow!

75
00:03:19,658 --> 00:03:22,452
The Crystal Empire looks
crystalier than ever!

76
00:03:27,082 --> 00:03:29,376
APPLEJACK:
They must have everypony
in the Empire

77
00:03:29,501 --> 00:03:31,170
out sprucing it up.

78
00:03:31,294 --> 00:03:33,463
TWILIGHT:
This must be why
were asked us to handle

79
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:35,298
the welcome committee
routine.

80
00:03:35,423 --> 00:03:39,094
And it's probably also because
we'll be awesome at it.

81
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:40,888
Princess Cadance was right.

82
00:03:41,013 --> 00:03:43,682
These ponies do look
pretty darn excited.

83
00:03:43,807 --> 00:03:46,601
Yup.
I remember that feeling.

84
00:03:46,727 --> 00:03:48,395
But not as much
as I remember

85
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,397
the crushing wave
of disappointment that came

86
00:03:50,522 --> 00:03:52,107
when things didn't work out.

87
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:53,734
RAINBOW DASH:
That right there.

88
00:03:53,859 --> 00:03:57,071
That is the face
I do not want to see.

89
00:03:57,196 --> 00:03:59,823
APPLEJACK:
Uh, mm-hm.

90
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:07,206
We're here.

91
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:09,374
Ha, ha,
there are my girls.

92
00:04:09,499 --> 00:04:12,086
CADANCE & TWILIGHT:
Sunshine, sunshine
Ladybugs awake

93
00:04:12,211 --> 00:04:14,046
Clap your hooves
And do a little shake

94
00:04:14,171 --> 00:04:15,463
( Twilight and Cadance
giggling )

95
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:18,466
Oh, my, this is spectacular.

96
00:04:18,592 --> 00:04:21,595
Please, everypony, stand back.
I need air.

97
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,555
Go ahead
and try whatever you like.

98
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,724
It's all complimentary
for the welcome committee.

99
00:04:25,849 --> 00:04:27,017
( giggles )

100
00:04:27,142 --> 00:04:29,103
That over there
is a crystal mud bath,

101
00:04:29,228 --> 00:04:32,313
which relaxes your body
and rejuvenates your coat.

102
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,026
Now, I realize it can be kind
of strange to climb into mud,

103
00:04:36,151 --> 00:04:37,778
but if you'll just give it
a chance, I'm sure--

104
00:04:37,903 --> 00:04:39,029
PINKIE PIE:
Whoo-hoo!

105
00:04:39,154 --> 00:04:40,280
Pinkie! No!

106
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:41,990
( Pinkie Pie laughing )

107
00:04:42,116 --> 00:04:43,242
( sighs )

108
00:04:43,366 --> 00:04:44,993
So relaxing.

109
00:04:45,119 --> 00:04:47,246
Pinkie Pie! Honestly.

110
00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:51,541
BOTH:
Hmph.

111
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:54,502
( both sigh )

112
00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:56,797
Go ahead.
Have a good time

113
00:04:56,922 --> 00:04:59,466
while I get my ceremonial
headdress done.

114
00:04:59,591 --> 00:05:02,094
Ceremonial headdress?

115
00:05:02,219 --> 00:05:03,929
When meeting
with important guests,

116
00:05:04,054 --> 00:05:06,306
it was tradition for rulers
of the Crystal Empire

117
00:05:06,431 --> 00:05:08,016
to weave crystals
into their manes

118
00:05:08,142 --> 00:05:09,768
in a very specific way.

119
00:05:09,893 --> 00:05:12,604
The Games Inspector is known
for doing her homework.

120
00:05:12,729 --> 00:05:14,231
She'll certainly be expecting
my look

121
00:05:14,355 --> 00:05:16,066
to reflect the importance
of her visit.

122
00:05:16,191 --> 00:05:17,358
( door opens )

123
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:18,610
Princess.

124
00:05:18,735 --> 00:05:21,155
If I may have a word.

125
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:23,364
I have two pieces of news
for you.

126
00:05:23,490 --> 00:05:25,117
First, your mane-stylist
has the flu

127
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:26,367
and won't be able
to make it

128
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:28,203
for fear
of you catching it too.

129
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:30,831
Oh, well...

130
00:05:30,956 --> 00:05:32,666
I hope she's better soon.

131
00:05:32,791 --> 00:05:34,876
Do any of the other
stylists here know

132
00:05:35,002 --> 00:05:37,420
how to do the traditional
royal ceremonial headdress?

133
00:05:37,545 --> 00:05:39,631
( all indistinctly
chattering )

134
00:05:39,756 --> 00:05:41,049
Oh.

135
00:05:41,175 --> 00:05:42,301
( sighs)

136
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:45,470
Just a small detail.

137
00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:47,139
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

138
00:05:47,264 --> 00:05:49,641
You're trying to land
the Equestria Games here.

139
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:51,977
There's no such thing
as a small detail.

140
00:05:52,102 --> 00:05:53,352
Rainbow Dash.

141
00:05:53,478 --> 00:05:56,064
I suppose
I could give it a shot.

142
00:05:56,190 --> 00:05:58,900
Oh, Rarity,
you would do that for me?

143
00:05:59,026 --> 00:06:00,735
Way to step up, Rare.

144
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,279
Fortunately,

145
00:06:02,403 --> 00:06:05,282
I have all the precise
instructions right here.

146
00:06:08,409 --> 00:06:10,120
RARITY:
Oh, my.

147
00:06:10,245 --> 00:06:11,955
You sure
you're up to this?

148
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,916
Working on the hair of royalty
on such an auspicious occasion

149
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:16,793
is the opportunity
of a lifetime.

150
00:06:16,918 --> 00:06:18,377
I will give it everything
I've got.

151
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:20,922
See? No worries.

152
00:06:21,048 --> 00:06:23,217
Besides, the Games Inspector
isn't expected

153
00:06:23,342 --> 00:06:24,843
for several hours.

154
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:26,845
I'll have plenty of time
to figure out exactly

155
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:28,471
how to do this.

156
00:06:28,596 --> 00:06:31,016
Oh, Rarity,
that's wonderful.

157
00:06:31,141 --> 00:06:33,476
You said you had a second
bit of news?

158
00:06:33,601 --> 00:06:35,020
Yes, quite.

159
00:06:35,145 --> 00:06:37,064
The Games Inspector,
Ms. Harshwhinny,

160
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:39,607
will be arriving
on the next train.

161
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,235
ALL:
What?

162
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,571
What? You couldn't have
told her that news first?

163
00:06:44,696 --> 00:06:45,822
That's 15 minutes
from now!

164
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:47,074
FLUTTERSHY:
Oh, my goodness.

165
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:48,407
( Rainbow Dash gasping )

166
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:50,369
( gasps then sighs )

167
00:06:50,493 --> 00:06:52,620
How long before Cadance
is ready?

168
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:53,914
Hmm...

169
00:06:54,039 --> 00:06:55,582
I'm sure to find
some shortcuts.

170
00:06:55,707 --> 00:06:57,542
Can you have her back
at the castle when we're done?

171
00:06:57,667 --> 00:06:58,793
Done.

172
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:00,670
Okay, we'll be fine.

173
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:02,881
TWILIGHT:
Everypony,
just be on the lookout

174
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:05,092
for the pony
with the flower print luggage.

175
00:07:05,217 --> 00:07:08,095
PINKIE PIE
Easy peasy,
pudding in the freezy.

176
00:07:08,220 --> 00:07:10,513
We bring the Games Inspector
back to the castle,

177
00:07:10,638 --> 00:07:13,558
put on our big welcome committee
how-do-you-do, and then--

178
00:07:13,683 --> 00:07:15,352
Put the pudding out to thaw
before you eat it

179
00:07:15,476 --> 00:07:16,603
or you'll crack a tooth?

180
00:07:16,728 --> 00:07:18,355
I'll just ignore that.

181
00:07:18,521 --> 00:07:19,647
We need to remember

182
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:21,858
that the Games Inspector
arriving early

183
00:07:21,983 --> 00:07:24,736
is probably part of a plan
to psych us out.

184
00:07:24,861 --> 00:07:26,529
What do you mean?
You said it yourself.

185
00:07:26,654 --> 00:07:28,865
She's got a rep for trying
to catch hosts off guard.

186
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:31,534
Just to see if we can handle
the kind of massive pressure

187
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:33,745
that comes with hosting
the Equestria Games.

188
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:36,581
Oh, no,
we're gonna blow it.

189
00:07:36,706 --> 00:07:38,792
Not if we always stay
one step ahead

190
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:41,086
and don't fall
for any of her mind games.

191
00:07:41,211 --> 00:07:42,629
Anything she throws at us,

192
00:07:42,754 --> 00:07:44,505
we just need to remember
she's testing us,

193
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,967
and roll with it.

194
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:57,936
Excuse me, ma'am?

195
00:07:59,313 --> 00:08:00,563
Yes? What is it?

196
00:08:00,688 --> 00:08:01,773
Oh, no.

197
00:08:01,898 --> 00:08:03,108
Be cool.

198
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:04,734
Well, I know
you're not expecting us

199
00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:06,820
but we're here
to personally welcome you

200
00:08:06,945 --> 00:08:08,822
to the Crystal Empire.

201
00:08:10,949 --> 00:08:13,243
The whole lot of you
came to do that?

202
00:08:13,368 --> 00:08:16,788
Uh, well, um, yes.

203
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:20,959
Well, darn tootin'!
Ain't that the cat's meow.

204
00:08:21,084 --> 00:08:22,419
Y'all didn't need
to do that.

205
00:08:22,543 --> 00:08:25,380
Why, I hardly expected
anything like this.

206
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:26,965
( sighs )

207
00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:28,842
The princess wouldn't
have had it any other way.

208
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:31,552
The Princess?
Princess Cadance?

209
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:32,804
None other.

210
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:35,723
Well, tie me up
and throw me down.

211
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:38,143
This just keeps getting
better and better.

212
00:08:38,268 --> 00:08:39,978
Can we help you
with your bags?

213
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:41,313
Don't mind if you do.

214
00:08:41,438 --> 00:08:42,981
Ooh! I love flower print.

215
00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:44,565
( squishing )

216
00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:46,151
Sorry.

217
00:08:47,568 --> 00:08:49,612
PINKIE PIE:
Our first stop is the castle

218
00:08:49,737 --> 00:08:52,240
where we've got a big
razzamatazzy welcome

219
00:08:52,366 --> 00:08:53,492
planned for you.

220
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:56,286
The castle?
Are you kidding?

221
00:08:56,411 --> 00:08:58,205
Hot diggity dog!

222
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:00,374
See that?
Just gotta roll with it

223
00:09:00,499 --> 00:09:02,959
until the Princess gets there
and we'll be just fine.

224
00:09:03,084 --> 00:09:05,128
( engine chugging )

225
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:06,505
( slow theme playing )

226
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:13,553
( hair dryer whirring )

227
00:09:14,971 --> 00:09:17,640
CADANCE:
So how's it going so far?

228
00:09:17,765 --> 00:09:21,936
Oh, I'm so sorry.
It's just all so complicated.

229
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:23,313
( chuckles )

230
00:09:24,689 --> 00:09:26,649
I can fix it.
CADANCE: Fix what?

231
00:09:26,774 --> 00:09:29,361
Well,
I was looking for shortcuts

232
00:09:29,486 --> 00:09:31,863
and I thought
step 12 was optional.

233
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:33,823
But it's not.

234
00:09:41,498 --> 00:09:44,918
GAMES INSPECTOR:
My golly,
the Crystal Castle!

235
00:09:45,043 --> 00:09:46,586
Why, I've seen pictures,

236
00:09:46,711 --> 00:09:51,216
but I never expected to see it
with my very own eyes!

237
00:09:51,341 --> 00:09:52,467
( gulps )

238
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:54,969
From the inside.

239
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:58,223
Oh, my gosh, she's so nice.

240
00:09:58,348 --> 00:09:59,516
You're letting her
lull you

241
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,017
into a false sense
of confidence.

242
00:10:01,142 --> 00:10:04,896
Watch that.
It's all part of the game.

243
00:10:05,021 --> 00:10:07,441
Oh, my, I'm so excited.

244
00:10:07,566 --> 00:10:09,484
TWILIGHT:
Please have a seat,
won't you?

245
00:10:09,608 --> 00:10:12,112
Mind if I take a quick run
outside first.

246
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:13,905
It was an awfully long
train ride

247
00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:16,241
and my legs could use
a stretch.

248
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:19,327
Oh, well,
we were just about to start.

249
00:10:19,453 --> 00:10:20,912
Oh, never you mind.

250
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:22,872
You go on ahead.
I'm listening.

251
00:10:22,997 --> 00:10:24,583
She was probably testing us

252
00:10:24,707 --> 00:10:26,626
to see
if we could remain in control

253
00:10:26,751 --> 00:10:28,378
of a complex situation.

254
00:10:28,503 --> 00:10:30,671
Looks like we passed.
Bump.

255
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,382
Yeah.

256
00:10:32,507 --> 00:10:35,218
We'd like to thank you
for this opportunity

257
00:10:35,343 --> 00:10:38,096
to introduce you
to this wonderful kingdom.

258
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:40,390
Oh, well,
the pleasure is all mine.

259
00:10:40,515 --> 00:10:42,976
And since we're not even
from here ourselves,

260
00:10:43,101 --> 00:10:44,811
who better than us
to let you know

261
00:10:44,936 --> 00:10:47,522
just how welcoming
this place can be?

262
00:10:47,688 --> 00:10:49,899
ALL ( chanting ):
Two, four, six, eight

263
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:51,692
Name a place
That's really great

264
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:53,194
One, two, three, four

265
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,029
And keeps you coming back
For more

266
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,697
Two, seven, nine, three

267
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:58,617
The place that we'd all
Wanna be

268
00:10:58,741 --> 00:11:00,160
Four, three, two, one

269
00:11:00,285 --> 00:11:01,953
The Crystal Empire
That's the one

270
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:03,538
( fireworks expoding )

271
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:06,374
( cheering and whistling )

272
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:08,251
( all panting )

273
00:11:08,376 --> 00:11:09,710
GAMES INSPECTOR:
Oh!

274
00:11:09,836 --> 00:11:12,964
I tell you,
I have traveled far and wide,

275
00:11:13,089 --> 00:11:16,050
but I have never,
ever been welcomed anyplace

276
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:18,512
in the fashion that you all
have done here today.

277
00:11:18,637 --> 00:11:20,180
That's fantastic.

278
00:11:20,305 --> 00:11:23,266
Princess Cadance would be
so glad to hear that.

279
00:11:23,391 --> 00:11:24,809
Honestly, I'm surprised

280
00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:26,936
she knows anything
about me at all.

281
00:11:27,770 --> 00:11:29,272
Of course she does.

282
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:31,732
She's been looking forward
to your visit for weeks.

283
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:34,235
Oh, goodie. Is she here?

284
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:35,529
Uh...

285
00:11:35,654 --> 00:11:37,155
Where the heck is she
anyway?

286
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,698
Wasn't she supposed
to be here by now?

287
00:11:39,824 --> 00:11:41,535
Oh, that's all right.

288
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:42,994
( suspenseful theme
playing )

289
00:11:43,119 --> 00:11:44,663
( gulps )

290
00:11:44,787 --> 00:11:46,873
Maybe-- I'll just take
my little run outside now.

291
00:11:46,998 --> 00:11:49,334
( panting )

292
00:11:49,459 --> 00:11:51,545
Or, if you like,

293
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:53,463
we could give you a tour
of the castle.

294
00:11:53,588 --> 00:11:55,840
RAINBOW DASH:
That way,
you could be learning

295
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:58,426
and stretching
all at the same time.

296
00:11:58,552 --> 00:12:01,555
Oh, a tour
of the Crystal Castle.

297
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,264
I'd love that a whole heap.

298
00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:05,850
Dash, we've hardly ever
even been here before.

299
00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:07,977
It's just another test.

300
00:12:08,102 --> 00:12:10,397
We gotta roll with it,
remember?

301
00:12:10,522 --> 00:12:12,899
Ooh, let me give the tour.

302
00:12:13,024 --> 00:12:15,068
PINKIE PIE:
I'll do it, I'll do it.
Let me, let me, let me.

303
00:12:15,193 --> 00:12:16,486
( sighs )

304
00:12:16,611 --> 00:12:18,112
Fine. You will start
giving her the tour

305
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:20,907
and I'll go see
what's keeping Cadance.

306
00:12:22,242 --> 00:12:24,035
( upbeat theme playing )

307
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,787
( groans then grunts )

308
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:28,206
Hello there.

309
00:12:28,331 --> 00:12:29,748
Hello yourself.

310
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:32,001
First hello of the day.

311
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:33,253
Oh. Ugh.

312
00:12:33,378 --> 00:12:35,213
( grunting )

313
00:12:35,338 --> 00:12:36,673
( Twilight humming )

314
00:12:38,049 --> 00:12:39,676
Aah!
What are you doing here?

315
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,344
We finished
the welcome committee song

316
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:43,555
and we just wanted to introduce
Ms. Harshwinny to--

317
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,140
No, no. Princess Cadance
isn't ready.

318
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,309
Something's gone
terribly wrong.

319
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:49,936
TWILIGHT:
I need to speak
to the princess.

320
00:12:50,061 --> 00:12:51,312
RARITY:
You can't, mustn't.

321
00:12:51,438 --> 00:12:53,022
She's in a delicate
conditioning rinse

322
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:54,815
that must go perfectly
if there's to be any hope

323
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:56,025
for her hair.

324
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:58,111
TWILIGHT:
Come on. How bad could it be?

325
00:12:58,236 --> 00:13:00,863
Imagine her mane
turned into a porcupine.

326
00:13:00,988 --> 00:13:02,574
Oh.

327
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:04,951
Please, I'll bring her back
from the brink of tragedy,

328
00:13:05,076 --> 00:13:06,785
but you have got to buy me
some time.

329
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:08,871
There's no other way.

330
00:13:08,996 --> 00:13:11,499
So you see, this here,
this, um--

331
00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:13,501
This is, um...

332
00:13:13,627 --> 00:13:15,754
A big round room.

333
00:13:15,878 --> 00:13:19,090
It's known
for its roundness and bigness.

334
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:22,801
And did I mention
that it's round?

335
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:24,971
I think they call it
a rotunda,

336
00:13:25,096 --> 00:13:28,141
a small, confining rotunda.

337
00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:29,684
Pfft. Whatever.

338
00:13:29,808 --> 00:13:31,394
Round is round, am I right?

339
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:32,853
Easy, Pinkie.

340
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:34,105
Let's play this safe.

341
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:35,565
We got her in a good mood,

342
00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:37,191
so let's not do anything
to ruin that.

343
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:40,737
You know, I love
this sort of architecture.

344
00:13:40,861 --> 00:13:44,073
I detect a neo-gothic
inspiration in the design, yes?

345
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:47,910
Hey, look at me.

346
00:13:48,035 --> 00:13:50,622
( babbles )

347
00:13:52,749 --> 00:13:53,874
( sighs )

348
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,460
And not a moment too soon.

349
00:13:55,585 --> 00:13:57,545
Where's Cadance?
Tell me she's right behind you.

350
00:13:57,671 --> 00:13:59,714
There's a bit of a problem
with her headdress.

351
00:13:59,838 --> 00:14:01,048
How's it going here?

352
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:02,425
Boingie boingie boingie.

353
00:14:03,968 --> 00:14:06,387
I, uh, hate
to be a bother,

354
00:14:06,513 --> 00:14:07,846
but the legs
are cramping up on me

355
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:09,474
with all
this standing around.

356
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:11,850
Huh?
She's getting bored,

357
00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:14,395
and we have to buy Rarity
some more time.

358
00:14:14,521 --> 00:14:15,896
( sighs )

359
00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:18,191
I'll see if Shining Armor
can come help.

360
00:14:18,316 --> 00:14:21,361
Can't one of you other ponies
take over in the meantime?

361
00:14:21,486 --> 00:14:23,488
I got this.

362
00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:25,406
Wanna stretch your legs,
huh?

363
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:28,284
Well, whatever you need,
I'm sure we can provide.

364
00:14:28,409 --> 00:14:31,245
Let's just make our way
to the castle's gymnasium.

365
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:33,164
Our tour
will now be headed--

366
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:38,837
This way.

367
00:14:38,961 --> 00:14:41,673
And we're walking,
and we're walking.

368
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:43,800
( Twilight humming )

369
00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:51,891
( all speaking
indistinctly )

370
00:14:52,016 --> 00:14:53,142
Twiley.

371
00:14:53,267 --> 00:14:54,728
Hello there.

372
00:14:54,853 --> 00:14:57,522
Shining Armor,
you've gotta help me.

373
00:14:59,023 --> 00:15:01,192
Everything okay?
I left the other ponies behind

374
00:15:01,317 --> 00:15:04,195
giving the Games Inspector
the worst castle tour ever.

375
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,780
SHINING ARMOR:
Come on, gang!

376
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:08,449
Are we gonna gallop
or are we gonna trot?

377
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:10,117
A castle tour, huh?

378
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:12,078
I'm pretty sure I can give you
a hoof with that.

379
00:15:12,203 --> 00:15:14,247
Let's move, move, move!

380
00:15:14,372 --> 00:15:15,915
Everything's gonna be
okay.

381
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,419
I know. I'm not worried.

382
00:15:19,544 --> 00:15:22,422
I'm not worried, it worked.

383
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:23,673
( sighs then screams )

384
00:15:23,798 --> 00:15:25,091
I'm outside.

385
00:15:25,216 --> 00:15:26,384
( laughing )

386
00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:28,845
Feels so good
to stretch the old legs.

387
00:15:28,969 --> 00:15:30,471
What the-- ?

388
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:33,433
Turns out the Crystal Castle
doesn't have a gymnasium.

389
00:15:33,558 --> 00:15:34,642
Watch it!

390
00:15:34,768 --> 00:15:36,018
( Games Inspector screams )

391
00:15:36,143 --> 00:15:38,062
Make her stop.

392
00:15:38,187 --> 00:15:40,481
Wait.
That's the Games Inspector.

393
00:15:40,607 --> 00:15:41,775
Let her do her thing.

394
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:44,068
Good, oh, these hooves,
I'm outside.

395
00:15:44,193 --> 00:15:45,653
Why would she do that?

396
00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:46,987
I have no idea.

397
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:49,031
But that's why
she's in charge

398
00:15:49,156 --> 00:15:50,949
of choosing who gets the games
and we're not. Heh.

399
00:15:51,075 --> 00:15:52,326
( crashing )

400
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:57,331
Aah! Oh.

401
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:59,959
Get me outside
for a run.

402
00:16:00,084 --> 00:16:02,002
Look out!

403
00:16:02,128 --> 00:16:04,964
Yeah. Okay.
We need to stop her.

404
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:07,091
( Games Inspector
screaming )

405
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:15,767
Where is she going
in such a hurry?

406
00:16:15,892 --> 00:16:17,977
GAMES INSPECTOR:
Ah. Oh, yeah!

407
00:16:18,102 --> 00:16:20,939
Closer, closer,

408
00:16:21,063 --> 00:16:22,899
I think we got her.

409
00:16:23,023 --> 00:16:24,734
GAMES INSPECTOR:
Oh!

410
00:16:24,859 --> 00:16:27,278
( Rainbow Dash screams )

411
00:16:27,403 --> 00:16:29,363
( scratching on glass )

412
00:16:31,908 --> 00:16:33,910
Whoo-wee!

413
00:16:34,034 --> 00:16:35,870
That felt good.

414
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:37,288
Nothing like a great run

415
00:16:37,413 --> 00:16:39,415
to shake the cobwebs
off these old bones.

416
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:40,667
( Rainbow Dash panting )

417
00:16:40,792 --> 00:16:42,126
Hey there, Speedy.

418
00:16:42,251 --> 00:16:45,797
Oh! These wide open spaces
you all got here

419
00:16:45,922 --> 00:16:47,047
remind me of home.

420
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:48,800
This is great.

421
00:16:48,925 --> 00:16:52,846
Oh, so you're enjoying
your visit.

422
00:16:52,971 --> 00:16:56,140
Oh, I'm so glad.

423
00:16:56,265 --> 00:16:57,934
Oh, good golly, yes.

424
00:16:58,058 --> 00:17:00,269
I just love to travel
and see new places.

425
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:03,564
Such a beautiful spot
you got here too.

426
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:05,942
Why, thank you so much.

427
00:17:06,066 --> 00:17:07,360
I'm Shining Armor.

428
00:17:07,485 --> 00:17:09,487
Oh. The prince.

429
00:17:09,612 --> 00:17:11,071
What's going on?

430
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:13,533
From the looks of it,
just locking up the games

431
00:17:13,658 --> 00:17:15,451
for the Crystal Empire,
is all.

432
00:17:15,576 --> 00:17:17,328
Ain't no thing.

433
00:17:17,453 --> 00:17:18,579
My, oh, my.

434
00:17:18,705 --> 00:17:21,499
I never met a prince before.

435
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:23,584
Ha-ha-ha. I'm surprised.

436
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:24,878
I'd think
in your line of work

437
00:17:25,003 --> 00:17:26,546
you'd meet princes
all the time.

438
00:17:26,671 --> 00:17:31,342
Hardly, just an ordinary
Wild Mustang from Mustangia

439
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:34,387
here to enjoy
a little vacay.

440
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:37,139
Never thought I'd also
be meeting royalty to boot.

441
00:17:37,264 --> 00:17:39,308
( giggles )

442
00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:41,728
You are Ms. Harshwhinny,

443
00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:45,147
the Equestria Games Inspector,
aren't you?

444
00:17:46,482 --> 00:17:47,984
Inspector of what now?

445
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:49,235
( suspenseful theme
playing )

446
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:52,613
We got the wrong pony?

447
00:17:52,739 --> 00:17:56,450
No!

448
00:17:56,576 --> 00:17:59,161
I mean, yes!

449
00:17:59,286 --> 00:18:01,581
( panting )

450
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:04,918
( ominous theme playing )

451
00:18:05,043 --> 00:18:06,419
APPLEJACK:
Oh, please, still be here.

452
00:18:06,544 --> 00:18:08,170
Oh, please, oh, please,
oh, please.

453
00:18:08,295 --> 00:18:10,214
There's got to be
another pony

454
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:12,759
with flower print luggage
around here somewhere.

455
00:18:12,884 --> 00:18:15,302
Except that there isn't.

456
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,346
We've gotta find her
before Cadance finds out

457
00:18:17,471 --> 00:18:18,890
what a mess
we've made of things.

458
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:20,600
Okay, here's what we do:

459
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:22,936
We split the empire up
into five sectors.

460
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:24,812
Each of us search a sector.

461
00:18:24,938 --> 00:18:27,023
Well, except for the spa.

462
00:18:27,189 --> 00:18:28,441
What's the point
of checking there?

463
00:18:28,566 --> 00:18:30,234
That's where Cadance is.

464
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,946
If Ms. Harshwhinny is there,
well, then game over. Right?

465
00:18:33,071 --> 00:18:34,781
( all gasp )

466
00:18:34,906 --> 00:18:36,991
HARSHWHINNY:
Every city in the empire
wants to host

467
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:38,576
the Equestria Games.

468
00:18:38,701 --> 00:18:39,994
So I have to go through

469
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,829
all the big phoney baloney
song and dance,

470
00:18:41,955 --> 00:18:44,707
though of course I'm never
getting the real inside scoop.

471
00:18:44,832 --> 00:18:47,418
TOURIST:
Oh, golly.

472
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:49,670
I've been having a swell time
since I got here.

473
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:52,381
I'm actually thinking
of extending my stay.

474
00:18:52,506 --> 00:18:55,843
And what exactly has made
your visit so "special"?

475
00:18:55,969 --> 00:18:59,138
Oh, gosh, where to start?

476
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:02,809
Oh, there she is.

477
00:19:02,934 --> 00:19:05,394
We're in luck, I don't think
either of them knows yet

478
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:06,771
that the other one's here.

479
00:19:08,856 --> 00:19:10,691
Wonderful news.

480
00:19:10,817 --> 00:19:13,193
Look, Princess Cadance,
better than new.

481
00:19:14,487 --> 00:19:16,405
Princess Cadance?

482
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:18,365
So this is where you've been.

483
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:19,993
I will have you know

484
00:19:20,118 --> 00:19:21,828
this is by far
the worst welcome I've had

485
00:19:21,953 --> 00:19:23,329
in all my years.

486
00:19:23,454 --> 00:19:25,372
I can't believe it.

487
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:26,916
What was wrong
with your welcome?

488
00:19:27,041 --> 00:19:28,876
There wasn't one.

489
00:19:29,002 --> 00:19:30,920
What is going on?

490
00:19:32,463 --> 00:19:35,716
Princess, we gave our welcome
to the wrong pony,

491
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:38,218
left the right one
waiting at the station,

492
00:19:38,344 --> 00:19:41,263
and completely
ruined everything.

493
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:45,726
Cinnamon bun?

494
00:19:45,852 --> 00:19:47,561
When I was a little filly,

495
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:50,230
I wanted so badly
for Cloudsdale to win

496
00:19:50,356 --> 00:19:51,524
the Equestria Games.

497
00:19:51,649 --> 00:19:53,776
But it didn't happen.

498
00:19:53,901 --> 00:19:55,987
So I thought I could make up
for that disappointment

499
00:19:56,112 --> 00:19:57,697
by helping the Crystal Empire
win the chance

500
00:19:57,822 --> 00:19:59,197
to host the games.

501
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:02,618
But it looks like I ruined
your chances instead.

502
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:04,286
Not so fast, Speedy.

503
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:06,246
I just finished hearing

504
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:07,665
about how this pony
was just treated

505
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:08,875
to the warmest,

506
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,168
funnest,

507
00:20:10,292 --> 00:20:12,378
most fabulous reception
she ever had.

508
00:20:12,503 --> 00:20:13,754
Darn tootin'.

509
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,382
Courtesy of these fine ponies
right here.

510
00:20:16,507 --> 00:20:18,258
Which, in my expert opinion,

511
00:20:18,384 --> 00:20:20,970
amounts to the first ever
unvarnished, unrehearsed,

512
00:20:21,095 --> 00:20:23,723
and unbiased appraisal
of a potential host

513
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:26,017
of the Equestria Games.

514
00:20:26,142 --> 00:20:28,226
Which can only mean
one thing.

515
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:31,438
The next host
of the Equestria Games

516
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:33,191
is The Crystal Empire!

517
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:34,441
( crowd cheers )

518
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:35,776
RAINBOW DASH:
We did it.

519
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:39,488
CADANCE:
Congratulations,
Crystal Ponies.

520
00:20:45,078 --> 00:20:48,164
You know it feels good
to help others get something

521
00:20:48,288 --> 00:20:49,957
you always wanted
but never had.

522
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:52,585
Almost as good
as getting it yourself.

523
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:54,420
Almost.

524
00:20:54,545 --> 00:20:55,922
We'll still be able
to come back here

525
00:20:56,047 --> 00:20:57,631
and watch the games
when they're played.

526
00:20:57,757 --> 00:21:00,843
You're right. That'll rock.

527
00:21:03,846 --> 00:21:04,972
Oh, my goodness.

528
00:21:05,098 --> 00:21:07,307
CONDUCTOR:
All aboard.

529
00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:08,601
Ha! Huh, Bummer,

530
00:21:08,726 --> 00:21:09,894
Spike had to miss out
on all this.

531
00:21:10,019 --> 00:21:11,311
He would've had fun here.

532
00:21:11,437 --> 00:21:13,355
I'm sure he's having
a great time

533
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,066
watching all the critters
back at home.

534
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:17,026
Think he's still
got a handle on things?

535
00:21:17,151 --> 00:21:18,318
( sighs )

536
00:21:18,444 --> 00:21:20,529
If he's staying calm
and collected,

537
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:23,574
I bet he's doing
a terrific job as a leader.

538
00:21:24,825 --> 00:21:26,077
( growling )

539
00:21:27,411 --> 00:21:28,913
You all hear that?

540
00:21:29,038 --> 00:21:30,289
