[CHEERS]
188
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:30,969
Rarity was right.
I don't believe it.
189
00:09:31,004 --> 00:09:35,840
Oh, my shining star! Thanks
to the sparkling costumes,
190
00:09:35,875 --> 00:09:38,943
dazzling choreography, and
brilliant vocal effects
191
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:40,812
that I designed,
192
00:09:40,847 --> 00:09:43,681
your performance
was SPECTACULAR,
193
00:09:43,716 --> 00:09:45,383
Countess Coloratura!
194
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:48,786
Oh, thank you, Svengallop!
195
00:09:48,821 --> 00:09:50,188
Correct me if
I'm wrong here,
196
00:09:50,223 --> 00:09:53,057
but that feller isn't
actually complimentin' Rara.
197
00:09:53,092 --> 00:09:55,293
He's complimentin' all the bells
and whistles he's piled on
198
00:09:55,328 --> 00:09:57,929
to make her Countess Coloratura.
199
00:09:57,964 --> 00:10:00,365
Oh, no, no, no, no! You
don't understand, Applejack.
200
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,201
Creating all those
elements is a lot of work
201
00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:05,069
and Countess
Coloratura's performance
202
00:10:05,104 --> 00:10:07,005
wouldn't exist without them.
203
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,041
If you ask me, that wouldn't
necessarily be a bad thing.
204
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:12,944
Oh, if we're all done here,
205
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:16,280
I'd love to go back to my
trailer and rest, Svengallop.
206
00:10:16,315 --> 00:10:17,982
Actually, right now
you're scheduled
207
00:10:18,017 --> 00:10:20,818
for your Meet and Greet
with the school ponies!
208
00:10:20,853 --> 00:10:24,322
I can totally get
you out of meeting
209
00:10:24,357 --> 00:10:26,391
with the school
ponies, Countess.
210
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:30,728
Absolutely not! My
favorite part of any event
211
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:32,930
is meeting with
the school ponies!
212
00:10:32,965 --> 00:10:35,867
The school ponies'll be so
happy to hear that, Rara.
213
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:42,407
Ponyville School Ponies!
214
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:44,776
As part of the Helping
Hooves Music Festival,
215
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:47,979
I'm holding a contest where
some of you will get a chance
216
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:51,916
to sing with me on stage at the
concert tomorrow! Sound fun?
217
00:10:51,951 --> 00:10:54,919
[cheers]
218
00:10:54,954 --> 00:10:58,222
All right! Now who
wants more Hoovsies?
219
00:10:58,257 --> 00:10:59,457
[cheers]
220
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:02,160
Now, that's more like
the Rara I remember.
221
00:11:02,195 --> 00:11:05,029
Pinkie: But I got
everything you requested.
222
00:11:05,064 --> 00:11:07,398
That was for
Countess Coloratura.
223
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:12,437
This is for me. And what
I want is premium oats.
224
00:11:12,472 --> 00:11:16,374
Oh, well, we have lots of tasty
oats right here in Ponyville.
225
00:11:16,409 --> 00:11:19,277
I would not feed
those to a chicken!
226
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:23,181
I want top-of-the-line,
Appaloosan Oats.
227
00:11:23,216 --> 00:11:27,351
Next. It appears that we are
surrounded by apple trees.
228
00:11:27,386 --> 00:11:30,488
Bring me 500 pre-peeled,
pre-cored apples.
229
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,725
And I want those
things in 24 hours!
230
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,860
But that's impossible!
231
00:11:35,895 --> 00:11:38,329
Do you want me to pull
Countess Coloratura
232
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:45,169
from your little podunk
charity show? Because I will.
233
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:49,207
Applejack! Svengallop just
made all of these new demands
234
00:11:49,242 --> 00:11:51,042
I heard, Pinkie.
But don't you fret.
235
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:53,344
I'll talk to Rara and
fix things right up.
236
00:11:56,282 --> 00:11:58,216
Did you see, sis? Did you see?
237
00:11:58,251 --> 00:12:01,152
Is this the little sister
you wrote to me about, AJ?
238
00:12:01,187 --> 00:12:07,225
Hold on, Applejack! You wrote to
Countess Coloratura...about me?
239
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:11,129
AJ said you were the best little
sister ever, Apple Bloom.
240
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:17,435
All right now, you best
git along, little ponies.
241
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:21,806
[laughter]
242
00:12:21,841 --> 00:12:25,510
Hey, Rara, you mind if I talk
to you about your manager?
243
00:12:25,545 --> 00:12:27,145
Sure, what about him?
244
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:30,214
Well, while you were meetin'
with the school ponies,
245
00:12:30,249 --> 00:12:33,384
he was demandin' all sorts
of stuff from Pinkie Pie.
246
00:12:33,419 --> 00:12:36,087
Svengallop works very
hard as my manager, AJ.
247
00:12:36,122 --> 00:12:39,190
So if he needs some things
when we're on the road,
248
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:41,092
I don't see anything
wrong with that.
249
00:12:41,127 --> 00:12:43,461
Well, do you see something
wrong with him telling Pinkie
250
00:12:43,496 --> 00:12:46,030
that if she doesn't get
those things by tomorrow,
251
00:12:46,065 --> 00:12:48,232
he'd pull you from
our charity festival?
252
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:51,435
What? But...he knows how
important charity is to me
253
00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:54,338
and leaving the festival would
completely ruin my image!
254
00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:57,909
I'm afraid Svengallop doesn't
give a pickled Pippin
255
00:12:57,944 --> 00:12:59,377
about your charity work.
256
00:12:59,412 --> 00:13:00,945
That's not true!
257
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:03,314
Svengallop has always supported
me in all my interests.
258
00:13:03,349 --> 00:13:05,449
You're just saying those
things because you're jealous.
259
00:13:05,484 --> 00:13:09,053
Jealous of what? A pony who
hides behind a veil so thick
260
00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:11,289
she can't see when
somepony's using her?
261
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:14,091
No, I'm not jealous
of that, Rara.
262
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:17,862
I am not Rara! I am
Countess Coloratura!
263
00:13:17,897 --> 00:13:20,331
And while we may have been
friends when we were young,
264
00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:22,867
we have clearly gone in
different directions!
265
00:13:32,345 --> 00:13:33,945
It just ain't right!
266
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:37,048
He's manipulatin' her and
she's just not seein' it.
267
00:13:37,083 --> 00:13:39,050
Enough stewing! More peeling!
268
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:42,854
Sorry, Pinkie, but
there is no way
269
00:13:42,889 --> 00:13:44,555
I'm lettin' that
lousy Svengallop
270
00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:46,924
use my friend like that!
271
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:48,126
Ohhhh.
272
00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:52,296
Countess Coloratura!
273
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:55,299
Wow, AJ! You said my real name.
274
00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:59,070
I said your new name, but I
saw the real you hangin' out
275
00:13:59,105 --> 00:14:01,005
with those school
ponies yesterday.
276
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,573
And I know somepony
that'd prefer
277
00:14:02,608 --> 00:14:05,142
if you stopped doin'
those little events.
278
00:14:05,177 --> 00:14:07,245
Oh, not this again.
279
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,313
C'mon, now. You just
gotta give me a chance
280
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:11,249
to prove what I'm
sayin' is true!
281
00:14:11,284 --> 00:14:13,484
And just how are you
going to do that?
282
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:17,555
Do exactly what I say; we'll
see if that Svengallop
283
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:20,425
truly has your best
interests at heart.
284
00:14:22,328 --> 00:14:25,062
Svengallop? Svengallop?
285
00:14:25,097 --> 00:14:26,397
Where are you, Svengallop?
286
00:14:26,432 --> 00:14:29,400
Here I am. Did you
need something?
287
00:14:29,435 --> 00:14:32,236
Yes, I was...considering...
288
00:14:32,271 --> 00:14:36,140
maybe canceling the contest
with the school ponies?
289
00:14:36,175 --> 00:14:38,542
Countess, this is
wonderful!
290
00:14:38,577 --> 00:14:40,544
I've been waiting
forever for you to cancel
291
00:14:40,579 --> 00:14:43,014
that pointless
school pony contest!
292
00:14:43,049 --> 00:14:45,049
You...have?
293
00:14:45,084 --> 00:14:49,320
You do it at every charity event
and it does absolutely nothing
294
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:53,524
to promote the Countess
Coloratura image that I built!
295
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:55,293
Consider it CANCELED!
296
00:14:55,328 --> 00:14:56,527
Pinkie Pie!
297
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:59,063
Yes, Svengallop, sir?
298
00:14:59,098 --> 00:15:01,232
[coughing]
299
00:15:01,267 --> 00:15:05,169
We're making some adjustments
to the show. Follow me!
300
00:15:15,147 --> 00:15:16,714
Cancel the contest
for the fillies
301
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:19,183
and schedule
me a spa treatment.
302
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:22,420
Now that I don't have to oversee
a rehearsal with those brats,
303
00:15:22,455 --> 00:15:24,422
I have time for the works.
304
00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:25,490
You know the drill:
305
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:29,327
deliver, or the diva
ditches your dippy charity.
306
00:15:31,564 --> 00:15:36,634
OK, Countess Coloratura!
All taken care of!
307
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:38,602
recording plays through PA:
You know the drill:
308
00:15:38,637 --> 00:15:42,239
deliver, or the diva
ditches your dippy charity.
309
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:45,176
So that's how you've
been managing things?
310
00:15:45,211 --> 00:15:47,578
Yeah, so? What's the problem?
311
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:49,747
The problem is that
you've been using my name
312
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:52,183
to intimidate ponies
to get what you want.
313
00:15:52,218 --> 00:15:56,620
But I work incredibly hard for
you! I deserve everything I get!
314
00:15:56,655 --> 00:15:59,557
But not because you scare ponies
into thinking I won't perform
315
00:15:59,592 --> 00:16:01,325
for their charities otherwise!
316
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,627
I would never do
that to my fans.
317
00:16:03,662 --> 00:16:06,263
Which is why you should have
known that I would never
318
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:08,566
cancel the School
Ponies Contest!
319
00:16:08,601 --> 00:16:12,436
Hmm. All this charity and
school pony contest nonsense
320
00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:15,506
is just remnants of that
boring little Rara
321
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:17,541
I met back in Manehattan.
322
00:16:17,576 --> 00:16:20,578
You clearly don't
understand the real me.
323
00:16:20,613 --> 00:16:24,415
That's a joke! I
made you somepony.
324
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:27,418
What can you even do without me?
325
00:16:27,453 --> 00:16:32,256
Good luck, Countess
Coloratura! Good luck!
326
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:38,295
Oh, Rara! I'm so sorry.
327
00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:40,765
Are you gonna be OK for
the concert tonight?
328
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,302
Of course. After all,
the show must go on!
329
00:16:45,337 --> 00:16:48,205
Oh, my gosh, Rarity!
Svengallop's right!
330
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,475
This is going to be a disaster!
I'm gonna be terrible!
331
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:53,444
Can you give us
a minute, Rarity?
332
00:16:53,479 --> 00:16:54,579
Certainly.
333
00:16:56,715 --> 00:16:59,550
Now, why's it gonna
be so terrible?
334
00:16:59,585 --> 00:17:01,619
Because Svengallop was
in charge of everything!
335
00:17:01,654 --> 00:17:03,621
The lights! The
visuals! The sound!
336
00:17:03,656 --> 00:17:06,123
Without Svengallop,
I have nothing!
337
00:17:06,158 --> 00:17:07,792
Now, now. don't go
gettin' yourself
338
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:10,061
into a tizzy there, Rara.
339
00:17:10,096 --> 00:17:13,097
Svengallop turned you
into Countess Coloratura
340
00:17:13,132 --> 00:17:15,633
and acted like your friend
so he could enjoy the perks
341
00:17:15,668 --> 00:17:16,901
that came with bein' a star.
342
00:17:16,936 --> 00:17:20,337
But the real perk of friendship
is gettin' to see your friend
343
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,440
bein' true to theirself.
344
00:17:22,475 --> 00:17:25,109
And, Rara, when
you're simply yourself,
345
00:17:25,144 --> 00:17:28,312
you're the brightest star
I've ever seen shine!
346
00:17:33,385 --> 00:17:35,319

Thank you, everypony!
385
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:29,360
When I arrived at the Helping
Hooves Music Festival,
386
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:32,463
I had forgotten
who I really was.
387
00:20:32,498 --> 00:20:36,767
But then an old friend reminded
me what real friendship is about
388
00:20:36,802 --> 00:20:40,471
and she told me that if
I was true to myself,
389
00:20:40,506 --> 00:20:42,606
I couldn't go wrong.
390
00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:45,876
So, I have a very special
surprise for her.
