Rainbow Dash: Wow! I can't believe how many ponies showed up!

Pinkie Pie: I can! I mean, finding out who the Ponyville Days pony of ceremonies is is a pretty big deal!

Twilight Sparkle: I didn't know Granny Smith was on the selection committee.

Applejack: Of course she is. Ponyville Days celebrates the founding of Ponyville, and she was right there.

Pinkie Pie: I'm glad the committee didn't automatically pick me so everypony gets a chance to see how great being me actually is! Even though the festival's basically a party and the pony of ceremonies gets to organize the whole thing! So it'd totally make sense if they did pick me.

Ponies: Shhh!

[microphone feedback]

Mayor Mare: Citizens of Ponyville, this year's applicants were all exceptional, but there can only be one Ponyville Days pony of ceremonies. And that pony is...

Pinkie Pie: [long inhalation]

Mayor Mare: Rarity!

Ponies: [cheering]

Applejack: Whoo-ee! All right, Rarity!

Rainbow Dash: Yeah! Whoo-oo-oo! [laughs]

Rose Light: Congratulations, Rarity! Do you know what you're gonna do?

Spike: [straining noises]

Rarity: Oh, I might have a few ideas.

Pinkie Pie: I'm so excited for the festival, I can hardly stand up straight!

Twilight Sparkle: Me too. I'm glad Rarity was picked. I know she'll add a touch of elegance to the whole thing!

Applejack: Probably more than a touch!

[lights buzzing on]

[cranking]

Spike: [clears throat] [reading] This year's Ponyville Days festival, designed by Rarity, will feature various high-class events such as... a silent cider auction and tasting...

Main cast sans Rarity: Ooooh!

Spike: ...A Ponyville gala in town square...

Main cast sans Rarity: Ahhhh!

Spike: ...And, of course, a Ponyville fashion show.

Main cast sans Rarity: Ooooh!

Spike: This year's Ponyville Days festival pony of ceremonies creates shimmering couture of her own design.

Rarity: And the theme is... "Small Town Chic"!

Rose Light: Wow, Rarity. You really have put a lot of effort into this.

Applejack: I'll say.

Fluttershy: Oh, I think it's going to be magical.

Rarity: [gasps] Do you really think so?

Pinkie Pie: Are you kidding? I can't wait!

Rarity: Oh, that's such a relief. But of course, I couldn't possibly do it all on my own. The festival is in three days!

Rainbow Dash: Pinkie Pie and I can hang lights and decorations in the town square!

Applejack: And I can get Sweet Apple Acres all ready for the cider tastin'.

Rarity: Oh, that's just perfect! And now, Twilight and Rose, if you two and Fluttershy wouldn't mind helping with the fashion show...

Twilight Sparkle: Of course!
