Carrying the Ponyville flag
Welcome to the Ponyville Schoolhouse...again!
Hello, Cheerilee! Haven't seen you in a while!
We have a special guest today!
Ms. Harshwhinny, the pony of many faces...
...all of them scowling.
Self-explanatory.
There's gonna be an event where you must compete for glory.
Listening with wide eyes.
Youth is so wasted on the young, she thought.
"Cut to the chase already!"
Here comes Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow Dash, excited.
Yay, Dash!
Rainbow Dash, looking cute and cheerful.
"Most spectacular."
Who's gonna be the lucky ponies?
"It's gotta be me." Yeah, right!
She was the one who saved me from a well.
"Maybe it's us!"
These two should compete in a dance residual.
...or maybe not.
"You're gonna love this!"
AHEM!
Now then...
You will form teams and be rated on...
Scootaloo?
Rarity?
Pinkie Pie?
AHEM!
"Get to the nitty-gritty later!"
"Tell 'em the important stuff!"
"Like, who's the coach?"
"Pweeeeeeeeet!"
Same ol' Rainbow.
Rainbow Dash is super hyper today...
"That's right. ME!"
Scootaloo, staring wide-eyed at her idol.
Waving a flag, Rainbow Dash style.
Why are you so awesome?
You gotta maintain professionalism!
Professionalism is my middle name!
Rainbow Danger Professionalism Dash.
What happened to "Rainbow 'Danger' Dash"?
Hey, Twist! Haven't seen you in a while!
Very professionally.
Quite, quite correct.
Rainbow Dash is evilly introducing one of her new episodes.
Wide-eyed and excited.
Been taking physics-breaking skills from Pinkie.
Ah..
Like I said, my middle name is Professionalism!
Why do I have to deal with this?
Remember kids, do your best and show up bright and early tomorrow.
The class, listening attentively.
Thank you, and I'll be on my way.
What makes Ponyville special?
Class dismissed!
The Cutie Mark Crusaders, leaving the school smiling.
Discussing their chance to carry the Equestria flag.
That's the spirit, Apple Bloom!
I bet everypony in our class is going to compete.
I, for one know we can do it.
Because I'm so in!
So...what should our act be about?
Apple Bloom, Earth pony.
Sweetie Belle, unicorn.
Scootaloo, Pegasus.
That's it!
You see what I mean?
Hardworking Earth ponies, like me!
Graceful unicorns like me!
Awesome Pegasi, like me!
We're going to need a lot of practice...
But, we can do it, because we've got hearts as strong as horses!
Hearts Strong as Horses
They may be little, but they can make big hoofsteps.
Three trotting fillies.
Happily singing.
Taking turns leading.
The sun is bright today.
This scene is awe-inspiring.
CMC pulling a rope.
What, Bulk Biceps? *sigh*
The following gag was ruined by three grass blades in the shot.
"We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and you should believe!"
Determined Scootaloo.
EEK! A butterfly!
Ah, ha, ha! He's scared of butterflies!
How long can they hang there?
Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara, sitting and clapping their hooves.
Does Silver Spoon enjoy taunting us?
And, I mean..crush!
Ugh! She sang fine a few seconds ago!
..Your cutie marks!
.."Blank flanks!"
Yeah, yeah, we get it, we got blank flanks. Seriously, girls, it's getting old.
Like, we've never heard that one before.
Let me be the one to say...
The rich girls' cutie marks.
Superiority is Diamond Tiara's talent.
You'll see, Diamond Tiara!
Determined fillies.
Cutie Mark Crusaders, team forever!
You're so on, girls!
Rehearsing the routine
"Show me what you got."
"Don't worry, we will."
The stage, and Miss Cheerilee with the other foals.
Soon.
Silver and Diamond, giggling.
Earth ponies, unicorns and Pegasi all reign in this town of friendship!
Sweetie Belle must have made this.
Scootaloo riding the scooter with a flag.
Ta-da!
Their act must have been awesome, to impress the rich fillies.
Uh Scootaloo, I thought you said she'd like it?
..Work harder and let's try this again!
..We can make this work!
A Pegasus who can't even fly
I can't believe I'm saying this, but they could actually win! I mean, do you remember their last act?
But how do we upset them? We already called them blank flanks! It's almost like they don't care anymore!
We'll just have to find a new way to get under their skin.
Looking for a weak spot to humiliate the Crusaders with.
Lurking like a villain.
Scootaloo's wings, perfect target.
"Get under their wings."
In fact, we think you're very brave.
Why?
We're good Silver, that's why we're besties.
Because you're trying to show all three types of ponies, and you've got a Pegasus who can't even fly.
I mean, a Pegasus pony at your age? You should have been flying long ago.
So what if my wings can't get me off the ground?
"Your career as a flag carrier isn't getting off the ground either."
Miss Harshwhinny will never pick a Pegasus pony who can't fly to represent Ponyville in front of all of Equestria.
Miss Harshwhinny never said anything about that!
I would have thought it was obvious.
This is Ponyville, not Crippleville. That's way on the other side of Equestria.
Sooo Cute !!!!
Scootaloo hovering.
Is this a good idea?
Probably not.
Is this what its come to?
Scootaloo jumping.
"I liked the routine the way it was!"
"But all she cares about now is flying."
Scootaloo, trying her best to fly.
The final rehearsal / Scootaloo tries hard
Okay Cutie Mark Crusaders, this is your final run before you perform at the stadium tomorrow.
I know you're going to absolutely, positively...
Oh, almost lost my professionalism.
...have a lot of fun. Heh heh...
Okay, go!
*Tweeeeeeet*
*Slap*
Oof!
Uh... Did they over-prepare themselves or something?
"Now I need to...
...go coach these other ponies!"
Sweetie Belle feeling tired.
"Without you two, who's gonna hold up the hoop?"
"Ugh! You don't listen to yourself!"
How long has she been awake now?
I give up.
Scootaloo quits
"She'd better get here soon!"
"I'm not going."
Not going?!
If she's going to quit on us, we don't need her!
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fine." Sweetie's actually not fine with this.
The eyes of both cuteness and sadness.
No friend left behind
I don't think you're supposed to pick favourites, Dashie.
"We kinda told her..."
"...that we didn't want a quitter."
"Are you nuts?!"
Rainbow giving a short lecture about loyalty.
Apple Bloom and Sweetie are irritated.
Scootaloo throwing away her scooter.
Dashie at the door.
Hi, Scootaloo.
Scootaloo's happy to see Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle...
...but she's trying not to show it.
"You're you."
Nothing like a rub on the head from your pseudo-sister to cheer you up!
The CMC are all back together!
"Let's win this thing!"
Racing to the Crystal Empire
To the Crystal Empire!
Scooting toward the Empire!
Skis seem...inefficient.
The plank.
Switching it into high gear!
Hey, Sweetie Belle's helmet has a notch for her horn to fit!
I'm sure those two were looking for London 2012 and wound up her by mistake.
High hoof!
And the winner is...
That's a nice look for those two meanies.
WE WIN!
Ooh! They look even prettier when they're upset!
Ms. Harshwhinny seems to have lost her professionalism.
"Contain your excitement, Ms. Harshwhinny. Remember, professionalism."
"Uh... yes... well I... um... ahem."
Laughing at irony
The writers were definitely trolling here.
I know! I bet we'll get cutie marks in flag carrying!
Rainbow's sad about this.
