Rainbow Dash: Ha-ha! Whoo-hoo! Yeah! [laughs] Whoa!

Owlowiscious: [hoots]

Rose Light: Who? Oh, it's you, Owlowiscious. C'mon, try and keep up! [laughs]

Winona: [barks]

Rainbow Dash: Winona? I mean... Winona's head?! Um, is this weird, or is it just me? Angel? Gummy?! Okay, this is officially beyond weird now and right on down to freaky town.

Opalescence: [hisses]

Rose Light: [gasp] Yaaaaah!

Rainbow Dash: Whaa!

Opalescence: [yowls]

Winona: [barks]

Owlowiscious: [hoots]

Rose Light: Phew.

Winona: [barks]

[ponies chattering]

Applejack: Let's get this thing started!

Pinkie Pie: [giggles]

Rarity: Sincerest apologies, Rainbow and Rose, if our pets were bothering you.

Opalescence: [meow]

Rarity: Say you're sorry, Opal.

Opalescence: [hisses]

Rarity: She's... sorry.

Rainbow Dash: What are you all doing out here?

Applejack: Why, we always round up our critters for a regular ol' Pony Pet Playdate in this park.

Rose Light: Uh, you do?

Applejack: Same time every week.

Fluttershy: I thought you knew. You didn't know? She didn't know?

Twilight Sparkle: Well, we had initially planned on inviting Rainbow and Rose, of course, except–

Pinkie Pie: We were totally gonna invite you, Rainbow and Rose, then Twilight remembered that you don't even have a pet, and Rarity remembered that you really like to take naps in the afternoon, so Applejack figured you wouldn't be missing out on anything anyway, and Fluttershy and I nodded our heads in agreement like this.

Fluttershy: Oh, please don't be mad at us.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, I'm not mad. You all are right. Not much point of a Pony Pet Playdate for me if I'm a pony without a pet, right?

Applejack: Eeexactly. So, if'n you'll excuse us...

[ponies chattering to their pets]

Rose Light: Hey, now wait a minute! Just because I don't have a pet now doesn't mean I never want a pet!

Fluttershy: Ohh! Y, y, Oh, really? You really want a pet? Really? 'Cause I've got so many wonderful choices at my house! Oh, and I know you'll just love them! And they'll love you! Oh, and you'll be best friends forever and ever! Oh! Now, Rainbow and Rose, my dear, I cannot express my delight. It's abundantly clear that somewhere out here is the pet that will suit you just right.

Rainbow Dash: I can't wait to get started, but first let me set a few rules. It's of utmost importance the pet that I get is something that's awesome and cool.

Fluttershy: Awesome, cool, got it! I have so many wonderful choices, just wait, you will see.

Rose Light: I need something real fast like a bullet to keep up with me.

Fluttershy: Sure! How 'bout a bunny? They're cutesy and wootsie and quick as can be.

Rainbow Dash: Cutesy? Wootsie? Have you even met me?
