Production and merchandise
Edit
Lauren Faust originally wrote this episode at 11 minutes long, before the show had been put in production by Hasbro. Amy Keating Rogers later came in and helped Faust flesh it out to a full 22 minutes, which is why both Rogers and Faust receive writing credit.[2] The first My MLP season 1 scenes video features shots of Big McIntosh reacting happily to the new plow and subsequently pulling it through the field during Applejack's Gala fantasy, which aren't included in the final version of the episode. When asked about these shots on Twitter, Amy Keating Rogers stated that they weren't in the script and guessed that they were in the storyboard.[3]

Twilight receives the tickets
Edit

Added by OcredanTwilight starts to ask Applejack if she'd like to go with her, but is interrupted by Rainbow Dash, who crashes in between them. Dash tells Twilight that The Wonderbolts perform at the Gala every year, and goes on describing how she will dazzle The Wonderbolts and the crowd with her own flying tricks hoping that they will scout her for the team. When she asks for the ticket, Applejack challenges her to a hoof-wrestle for the extra ticket until Twilight separates them, saying she will give the ticket to the pony who has the best reason. Applejack argues she could support her family, while Rainbow Dash wants to make her dream come true. Twilight, whose stomach is rumbling, promises to mull over it during lunch.
- "Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me!
Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me!
'Cause it's the most galarrific superly-terrific gala ever in the whole galaxy!" - — Pinkie's Gala Fantasy Song
When Twilight enters Ponyville, Pinkie Pie discovers the tickets and becomes excited, automatically assuming that the tickets are for her and Twilight. Rarity and Fluttershy soon learn about the tickets and also wish to attend. Rarity dreams of a Cinderella-style fantasy, ending with her picture-perfect marriage to Princess Celestia's "nephew". With some encouragement from her rabbit friend Angel, Fluttershy admits that she is not particularly interested in the party itself, but wants to visit the flower and wildlife-filled private gardens outside the castle.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack show up, and an argument commences over who should get the spare ticket. Twilight breaks it up, reminding them that because she is the one who was given the tickets, it is her decision, and promises that she will figure it out. Hoping it will be easier to think when she isn't hungry, Twilight and Spike leave the other five to get food.
Favors
Edit

Added by Juan Brony BroThe situation becomes chaotic when Pinkie inadvertently informs the whole town about the extra ticket. Practically everyone starts trying to do favors for Twilight. She and Spike run off and a chase ensues. Finally cornered by the mob, she inadvertently teleports both of them back to the library, leaving Spike slightly charred.
Back in the library
Edit

Added by OcredanTwilight, after relaying her report to Princess Celestia on how one's blessing can affect friendship, decides to return both the tickets, saying that she'd rather not go at all than leave out any of her friends. A swift reply from Celestia comes moments later, containing six tickets, saying Twilight should have just asked for more in the first place. All of the ponies are now happy to go together, instead of having to fight over just one vacancy. After they leave, an extra ticket is delivered to Spike, and he gleefully joins the ponies. He is slightly embarrassed when Applejack sees him, but she just chuckles and lets him go on his way.
Quotes
Edit
- For more quotes, see the episode's transcript.
- Rarity: I would stroll through the gala, and everyone would wonder: "Who is that mysterious mare?" They would never guess that I was just a simple pony from little old Ponyville. Why, I'll cause such a sensation, that I would be invited for an audience with Princess Celestia herself. And the princess would be so taken with the style and elegance, that she would introduce me... to him... her nephew! The most handsome, eligible unicorn stallion in Canterlot. Our eyes would meet... Our hearts would melt... Our courtship would be magnificent. He would ask for my hoof in marriage, and of course I would say... YES! We would have a royal wedding, befitting a princess which is... what I would become upon marrying him... The stallion of my dreams! Twilight, I simply cannot believe you would invite Pinkie Pie so she can... party... and prevent me from meeting my true love. How could you?!
- Twilight Sparkle: Quiiiet!
- Pinkie Pie: And then I said "Oatmeal? Are you craz–"
- Spike: Do you have any rubies? ...No? OK. I'll have the hay fries. Extra crispy!
- Rarity: Twilight, it's raining.
- Twilight Sparkle: No, really?
- Rarity: We will be the belles of ball, you and I. Everyone will be clamoring for our attention. All eyes will be on us! And then everyone will finally know the most beautiful, most talented, the most sophisticated pony in all Equestria is Rarity the unicorn! ... And Twilight Sparkle, of course.
- Applejack: I got apple pie, apple fritters, apple tarts, apple dumplings, apple crisps, apple crumbles, annnd Apple Brown Betty! Uh, the dessert, not my auntie...
- Fluttershy: Oh, well, hello Twilight. I hope you don't mind, but we're all doing a little spring cleaning for you.
- Twilight Sparkle: It's summer.
- Fluttershy: Oh, well, better late than never, right? It was Angel's idea.
- Twilight Sparkle: You're not doing this for the ticket, are you?
- Fluttershy: Oh no, I'm doing this because you're my very best friend. Right Angel? Oh, yes, we are just doing this for the ticket.
- Twilight Sparkle: PINKIEEEEEEEE!!!
- Pinkie Pie: Yes, Twilight?
- Twilight Sparkle: At least the other ponies tried to be subtle about the ticket.
