Summary
Time with the princess

Laughing at the flower's misery.
The Crusaders' royal connections
At school, the Crusaders and Pipsqueak are playing a game of four square when Diamond Tiara calls them and the other foals on the playground to gather around her. She entices the colts and fillies with an acrobatic display she had promised to put on, but she has her butler Randolph perform it for her. The foals eat it up and shower Diamond Tiara with praise, and the Crusaders are frustrated by the attention she receives for not doing anything.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are quite excited to see Princess Twilight.
Apple Bloom is unsure of the idea, but Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo see this as an opportunity to have Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon learn to do something on their own.
Popularity

Congratulations, CMC! You are now popular!
By the next day, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have told every foal in the class about the Crusaders' "Twilight Time", and they all want in as well.
- "Thanks to me, you three are now the hottest thing around. You're welcome."
- — Diamond Tiara
Sweetie Belle is excited over her and her friends' newfound popularity among their classmates. Apple Bloom is still uncertain, but Sweetie Belle assures her that she has the situation under control. She arranges for Twilight to meet them for lunch at a fast food restaurant in Ponyville called the Hay Burger. Despite her friends' misgivings, she also allows for a few of her classmates to watch the princess from a distance—not realizing that the entire class has tagged along.

Twilight becomes a celebrity amongst the foals.
- "You mean, Princess Twilight decides where it's cool to go based on where they go?"
- — Pipsqueak
Twilight thanks the Crusaders for the lunch invite and flies off, prompting the foals to swarm and fawn over the three fillies.
The Cutie Mark Celebs
The Crusaders take advantage of their new popularity to receive gifts and favors from their classmates, including free lemonade from Pipsqueak, a hoof-shining for Scootaloo, and a bejeweled bow for Apple Bloom.

The CMC are so popular, the other foals have become zombies.
They race toward the library to explain the situation to Twilight, but the other foals cut them off at the door. While Twilight is surprised by the number of foals at first, she understands the Crusaders' desire to share "Twilight Time" with others and invites them all in. Twilight is pleased that so many foals in Ponyville are eager to learn from her, until Pipsqueak reveals that he wants to learn to get popular through knowing a princess like the Cutie Mark Crusaders have.

The CMC apologizes to Twilight for their mistake.
Epilogue

The Crusaders in disguise to keep Twilight Time a secret.
With Twilight's permission, Sweetie Belle writes the lesson she and her friends learned in the friendship journal.
Apple Bloom succeeds in making a flower grow with her potions, Scootaloo successfully assembles a unicycle, and Sweetie Belle becomes better with her magic. Twilight commends the three on their progress, and they take their leave, relieved that "Twilight Time" is back to normal. Just before stepping out, they disguise themselves so as not to be recognized by their classmates.
