00:00:04,104 --> 00:00:06,004
Today we have two
special guests
3
00:00:06,106 --> 00:00:08,206
with a very special
announcement.
4
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:11,743
Everypony, welcome the Head
of the Equestria Games,
5
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:13,478
Ms. Harshwhinny.
6
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:14,179
(door opens)
7
00:00:17,918 --> 00:00:19,284
Thank you.
8
00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:23,655
Now I'm sure you all
know about the Equestria Games,
9
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:26,992
where ponies from all over
the land compete for glory
10
00:00:27,094 --> 00:00:29,228
in various athletic pursuits?
11
00:00:30,464 --> 00:00:34,332
Well, now you littlest ones will
have the chance to compete
12
00:00:34,435 --> 00:00:37,569
for a weighty responsibility
of your very own.
13
00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:40,338
Rainbow Dash: Oh, c'mon!
Tell them the fun part!
14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,774
(whoosh)
15
00:00:42,877 --> 00:00:45,944
(Ooh and aah from the others)

That's right!
17
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:49,581
All you gotta do is show
Ms. Harshwhinny the coolest,
18
00:00:49,683 --> 00:00:52,350
most spectacular,
most rockin' routine
19
00:00:52,452 --> 00:00:54,419
and you're goin' to
the Games!

00:00:54,521 --> 00:00:57,489
So, who's gonna be
the lucky ponies?
21
00:00:57,591 --> 00:00:59,391
It's got to be me.
22
00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:00,859
Maybe it's me.
23

Rainbow Dash: So the
winning team gets to carry

00:01:53,313 --> 00:01:56,148
the Ponyville flag at
the Equestria Games!
47
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:58,917
Oh, you are gonna LOVE this!
48
00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:00,285
Ms. Harshwinny: Miss Dash!
49
00:02:00,387 --> 00:02:04,289
Will you please curb
your overenthusiastic outbursts!
50
00:02:04,391 --> 00:02:08,060
Now then, let me be
clear on the rules.
51
00:02:08,162 --> 00:02:10,429
You ponies will form teams.
52
00:02:10,531 --> 00:02:13,832
Each team will create
their own flag-carrying routine.
53
00:02:13,934 --> 00:02:19,004
Everypony will be judged on
grace, style, and originality.
54
00:02:19,106 --> 00:02:21,239
There's a most complicated
scoring system,
55
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:24,343
which I will elaborate
upon now. Firstly...
56
00:02:24,445 --> 00:02:26,578
Aw, Get to the
nitty gritty later.
57
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,215
Tell them the important
stuff: like who's the coach?
58
00:02:30,317 --> 00:02:31,617
(whistle blast)
59
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:33,584
That's right: ME!
60
00:02:33,687 --> 00:02:36,688
And you know why I'm
qualified to coach you?
61
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:39,223
Guess who carried the
Cloudsdale flag in the Games
62
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:41,059
when she was a little filly.
63
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:42,794
ME!
64
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:44,296
I'll never forget it.
65
00:02:44,398 --> 00:02:45,931
I burst into the stadium...
66
00:02:46,033 --> 00:02:49,801
spreading my wings,
the flag flapping in the breeze!
67
00:02:49,903 --> 00:02:52,304
I did tricks with that
flag the likes of which
68
00:02:52,406 --> 00:02:56,742
no pony saw before,
and no pony's seen since!
69
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,714
Professionalism, Ms. Dash,
I must insist.
70
00:03:02,816 --> 00:03:05,583
If you want to keep your job
as coach of these ponies,
71
00:03:05,685 --> 00:03:08,419
you must maintain a
professional attitude
72
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:10,555
and keep your
emotions in check!
73
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:15,294
Am I making myself absolutely,
100% crystal clear?
74
00:03:16,997 --> 00:03:18,162
Yes, Ms. Harshwhinny.
75
00:03:18,265 --> 00:03:20,965
You know, professionalism
is my middle name.
76
00:03:21,067 --> 00:03:23,367
Rainbow
"Professionalism" Dash.
77
00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:25,870
Hmph! Well, in
three days' time,
78
00:03:25,972 --> 00:03:31,543
Ms. Dash will accompany anypony
competing to the Crystal Empire
79
00:03:31,645 --> 00:03:34,012
where you will demonstrate
your routines for me
80
00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:35,546
and the other judges.
81
00:03:35,648 --> 00:03:39,318
Who will judge you
very professionally.
82
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,789
Ahem! Yes, quite,
quite correct!
83
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:47,726
In the meantime, get
ready to train and train hard!
84
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:51,029
Because I know this Opening
Ceremony is the single most
85
00:03:51,131 --> 00:03:54,799
important thing that will ever
happen in your young lives.
86
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:57,669
But I know you're up
for the challenge!
87
00:03:57,771 --> 00:03:59,003
And so am I!
88
00:03:59,105 --> 00:04:02,474
WA-WAHOOOO-(cuts short)
89
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:03,742
AHEM!
90
00:04:03,844 --> 00:04:07,045
Meet me after school tomorrow
at 15-hundred hours, sharp.
91
00:04:07,147 --> 00:04:09,747
And show me
your flag-carrying skills.
92
00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:11,049
I am outta here!
93
00:04:11,151 --> 00:04:12,884
(skid)
94
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:14,085
Professionally!
95
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:15,920
See how professionally?
96
00:04:16,022 --> 00:04:17,288
(groan)
97
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:19,791
Ponies, the most
important thing is this:
98
00:04:19,893 --> 00:04:23,161
your routine needs to show
what your town means to you.
99
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:25,597
So do Ponyville proud!
100
00:04:25,699 --> 00:04:29,034
Work hard. Be bold. Wow me.
101
00:04:30,304 --> 00:04:31,202
That is all.
102
00:04:31,304 --> 00:04:32,704
(bell rings)
103
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:35,673
(excited shouts)
104
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:38,076
So what do you say we come
up with the perfect routine
105
00:04:38,178 --> 00:04:39,210
and win this thing?
106
00:04:39,312 --> 00:04:41,479
I'd say that's rootin'
tootin' terrific!
107
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:42,948
But there's one problem!
108
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:46,217
I bet everypony in class
is planning to compete.
109
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:50,488
Listen: somepo ny in our class
is gonna carry that flag.
110
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:52,123
So it might as well be us!
111
00:04:52,225 --> 00:04:54,692
Crusaders, are you in,
or are you in?
112
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:55,994
Cause I'M in.
113
00:04:56,096 --> 00:04:57,029
Me too!
114
00:04:58,164 --> 00:04:59,297
Me three!
115
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:01,099
All right, the winning
routine needs to show
116
00:05:01,201 --> 00:05:03,134
what's important about
Ponyville, right?
117
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:04,336
Both: Right!
118
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:07,171
So what's special
about Ponyville?
119
00:05:07,273 --> 00:05:09,374
It's...It's...
120
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:13,678
I've got it!
121
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:15,346
It's a place where
different kinds of ponies
122
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:17,315
live together as friends.
123
00:05:17,417 --> 00:05:19,150
Earth Ponies, like me!
124
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:21,018
Unicorns, like me!
125
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,754
And Pegasi, like me!
126
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:26,123
So somehow we gotta figure out
a way to show that in our act.
127
00:05:26,225 --> 00:05:27,492
We're gonna
need a plan.
128
00:05:27,594 --> 00:05:29,360
And a lotta
hard work.
129
00:05:29,462 --> 00:05:31,396
And a whole bunch
of practice.
130
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:34,432
But take it from me: We
may just be little ponies,
131
00:05:34,534 --> 00:05:38,069

Oof!

If that's the best you've got,
we' re going to win for sure!
167
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:52,436
We already have the most
divine routine planned.
168
00:07:52,539 --> 00:07:54,840
It's absolutely
sure to crush everyone else.
169
00:07:54,942 --> 00:07:57,542
And I mean CRUSH!
170
00:07:57,644 --> 00:08:00,712
But we're winners,
and we have heaaaarts...
171
00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:04,448
Sure, but you know
what you don't have?
172
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:06,584
YOUR CUTIE MARKS!
173
00:08:06,686 --> 00:08:10,689
Blank Flanks! Blank Flanks!
Blank Flanks!
174
00:08:10,791 --> 00:08:12,824
What does that have to
do with flag-carrying?
175
00:08:12,926 --> 00:08:15,694
Having Cutie-Mark-less
ponies represent Ponyville
176
00:08:15,796 --> 00:08:17,762
would be unthinkable!
177
00:08:17,864 --> 00:08:22,033
And we, of course,
already HAVE our Cutie Marks.
178
00:08:22,135 --> 00:08:24,802
So we know who's going

I can't believe I'm saying
this. They could win!

We already called
them Blank Flanks.
235
00:10:39,372 --> 00:10:42,707
Then we need to find a new
way to get under their skin.

Or maybe, get under their WINGS.

As a matter of fact,
we think you're very brave.

Brave? Why?
243
00:11:09,136 --> 00:11:10,034
Isn't it obvious?

00:11:10,137 --> 00:11:10,868
It is to us.

In fact, it's obvious
to everypony.
246
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:15,940
You're showing all three
types of Ponyville ponies,
247

yet you have a
Pegasus Pony...
248

not being able to fly

I mean, a Pegasus
pony at your age?
253
00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:34,091
You should have been
flying long ago!
254
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:36,894
So what if my wings
can't get me off the ground?
255
00:11:36,996 --> 00:11:38,529
Your career as a
flag carrier
256
00:11:38,631 --> 00:11:41,031
isn't getting off
the ground, either.
257
00:11:41,134 --> 00:11:43,535
Ms. Harshwhinny will
never pick a Pegasus pony
258

represent Ponyville

Why?
272
00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:15,800
If we want to win, I'm
gonna have to fly.
273
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:17,168
Is that even possible?
274
00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:18,669
And by tomorrow?
275
00:12:18,771 --> 00:12:21,005
Maybe I can fly if I
work twice as hard.
276
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:22,240
See?
277
00:12:22,342 --> 00:12:23,407
Oof!
278
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:25,409
Maybe three times as hard.
279
00:12:25,511 --> 00:12:27,211
Apple Bloom: Golly, I
don't know, Scootaloo.
280
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:29,480
I don't think
that's the problem.
281
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:30,882
Well, I know
this for sure:
282
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:32,750
flying is the only
way we're gonna win.
283
00:12:32,852 --> 00:12:34,952
So it's back to practice!
284
00:12:35,054 --> 00:12:36,654
Is this a good idea?
285
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:39,524
Whooah! (thud)
286
00:12:39,626 --> 00:12:41,760
I'll just work four
times as hard.
287
00:12:42,695 --> 00:12:44,195
Probably not.
288
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:49,734

Try it again.

00:15:21,521 --> 00:15:23,154
I better get some rest.
358
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:25,122
See you in the
morning, Scootaloo.
359
00:15:25,224 --> 00:15:26,890
Come on, Scootaloo!
360
00:15:26,992 --> 00:15:28,359
Do it for Ponyville.
361
00:15:28,461 --> 00:15:31,328
Just gotta try 20
times as hard.
362
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:32,963
(grunt)
363
00:15:33,065 --> 00:15:36,166
Thirty - times - as hard.
364
00:15:36,268 --> 00:15:36,967
Oof!
365
00:15:37,069 --> 00:15:39,637
Just a little harder...
366
00:15:39,739 --> 00:15:40,604
(thud)
367
00:15:40,706 --> 00:15:41,639
(grunt)
368
00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:42,406
(thud)
369
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:43,441
(sigh)
370
00:15:44,911 --> 00:15:46,977
I can't fly.
371
00:15:47,079 --> 00:15:49,714
I just...
can't!
372
00:15:51,117 --> 00:15:52,616
(train bell ringing)
373
00:15:52,719 --> 00:15:55,453
Crystal Empire!
All aboard!
374
00:15:58,058 --> 00:15:59,223
Scootaloo?
375
00:16:01,861 --> 00:16:03,293
Where IS she?
376
00:16:03,395 --> 00:16:06,931
She better get here soon. This
here train is about to leave!
377
00:16:07,033 --> 00:16:09,166
Here I am.
378
00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:11,802
We were scared you were going
to miss the train.
379
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:14,539
I - I'm not going.
380
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:15,706
WHAT?
381
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:17,141
I'm the weak link.
382
00:16:17,243 --> 00:16:21,144
If I go and fall, flop,
or do anything but fly,
383
00:16:21,247 --> 00:16:22,946
I'm gonna blow it
for you two.
384
00:16:23,048 --> 00:16:24,948
I can't believe you're
quitting on us!
385
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:27,050
But you're better
off without me!
386
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:29,019
But that's not
true, Scootaloo!
387
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:31,656
Ya know what, Sweetie
Belle? Forget it!
388
00:16:31,758 --> 00:16:35,927
If she's gonna quit, we don't'
want her and we don't need her!
389
00:16:36,029 --> 00:16:37,628
FINE!
390
00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:38,596
Fine.
391
00:16:39,632 --> 00:16:40,664
Fine.
392
00:16:40,766 --> 00:16:42,500
Conductor: All aboard!
393
00:16:42,602 --> 00:16:49,707

(train whistle)
395
00:16:59,085 --> 00:17:01,619
How's my favorite
routine going today?
396
00:17:01,721 --> 00:17:03,087
Oh, I just can't keep it in.
397
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:04,922
I want you to win so bad!
398
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:06,457
♪ "BumBUM, bumBUM". ♪
399
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,593
Then Scootaloo does
that KAPOW!
400
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:09,993
through the hoop!
401
00:17:10,763 --> 00:17:14,532
Well, there ain't gonna be
a Scootaloo. She's staying home.
402
00:17:14,634 --> 00:17:15,933
She's WHAT?
403
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:18,702
She got it in her head that the
only way to represent Ponyville
404
00:17:18,804 --> 00:17:21,172
was by flying in our routine.
405
00:17:21,274 --> 00:17:24,575
When she couldn't do it,
she told us she was quitting.
406
00:17:24,677 --> 00:17:28,245
And then you tried to stop
her from doing that, right?
407
00:17:28,347 --> 00:17:31,749
Well, actually we
kinda told her...
408
00:17:31,851 --> 00:17:33,851
that we didn't
want a quitter.
409
00:17:33,953 --> 00:17:35,820
Hang on! Are you NUTS?
410
00:17:35,922 --> 00:17:39,357
You're a team and a team
never leaves a friend behind.
411
00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:43,694
(screech)
412
00:17:43,796 --> 00:17:44,729
Come on!
413
00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:47,698
Sorry you
can't make it!
414
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,435
We'll take a picture for
you from the winners' circle.
415
00:17:51,537 --> 00:17:52,870
(giggling)
416
00:17:52,972 --> 00:17:55,039
I do not like them one bit.
417
00:17:55,141 --> 00:17:56,641
Put on some speed, girls!
418
00:18:06,286 --> 00:18:08,586
Rainbow Dash: Throwing
away your scooter?
419
00:18:08,688 --> 00:18:10,054
Rainbow Dash?
420
00:18:10,156 --> 00:18:12,156
Yup. But not just me.
421
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,294
I don't want to see them.
422
00:18:17,396 --> 00:18:19,230
And what are they
doing here, anyway?
423
00:18:19,332 --> 00:18:21,532
They're supposed to
be on the train.
424
00:18:21,634 --> 00:18:22,866
We're not going.
425
00:18:22,969 --> 00:18:24,702
Not without
YOU, Scootaloo.
426
00:18:26,538 --> 00:18:28,506
What's gotten into
you, Scootaloo?
427
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:30,641
I didn't want to ruin
their chance to win
428
00:18:30,743 --> 00:18:32,944
just because I couldn't fly.
429
00:18:33,046 --> 00:18:34,679
And who said you had to?
430
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:38,282
But flying's what Pegasus
ponies are supposed to do!
431
00:18:38,384 --> 00:18:41,685
YOU flew when you carried
the flag in the Games.
432
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:43,154
But that was me!
433
00:18:43,256 --> 00:18:44,622
You're you!
434
00:18:44,724 --> 00:18:47,524
And it just doesn't
matter if you can fly or not!
435
00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:49,694
Your routine was amazing
'cause it represented
436
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:52,463
exactly what makes
Ponyville special.
437
00:18:52,565 --> 00:18:55,566
You do still know
what that is, right?
438
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:56,667
Friendship.
439
00:18:56,769 --> 00:18:59,603
Three kinds of ponies
living together as friends,
440
00:18:59,705 --> 00:19:00,838
just like us!
441
00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:01,839

But Rainbow Dash...
445
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:11,682
What if...what if my
wings never grow?
446
00:19:11,784 --> 00:19:13,617
What if I never fly?
447
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:16,687
Listen, Scootaloo:
maybe you'll fly someday...
448
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:18,055
or maybe you won't.
449
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:20,324
You're all kinds of
awesome anyway.
450
00:19:20,426 --> 00:19:23,093
