[splashing]

Apple Bloom: Just one more time? Please?

Applejack: Alright, but this is the last one.

Coconut Harvest: Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Woooo!

[splash]

Granny Smith: [spluttering] Who done that?!

Apple Bloom: Sure wish you'd come swim with us, Granny.

Granny Smith: Uh, sorry, dear. I just can't bring myself anywhere near that there swimmin' hole.

Coconut Harvest: How come?

Granny Smith: Well, I wasn't always this way...

[telecine beeping]

Granny Smith: Time was, I was an aquapony all-star! In fact, I was the only Apple to ever come close to breaking the Equestria high-diving record! Falling six stories into a deep dish pie pan takes a toll on the hindquarters. Oh, I was so sore, took years before I could even look at the water again! Just the idea of swimmin' makes my whole body ache! Besides, these old legs can't even paddle fast enough to stay afloat.

[splash]

Granny Smith: [panicked noises]

Apple Bloom: Boy, I sure would hate to be afraid of swimmin'. You think I'll ever be scared of the water?

[Jaws-theme BGM]

Coconut Harvest: Aah!

Big Mac: Nope.

Applejack and Big Mac: [laughing]

Apple Bloom: Wow, Granny. I can't believe you were a high diver!

Granny Smith: The best one in Ponyville!

Coconut Harvest: Do you think I could be a high diver?

Big Mac: Nope.

Applejack: Absolutely not.

Apple Bloom: But–

Granny Smith: Now you hold your horsefeathers, little seed! I never said bein' a high diver was a smart decision! It's incredibly dangerous!

Coconut Harvest: I know, but–

Granny Smith: But nothin'! It is the riskiest, scariest, darn-fool thing I ever did do! That's not to say I didn't wish I was still young and spry and confident, but let's leave the flyin' through the air to the Pegasi.

Apple Bloom: Wow, when you put it that way, it doesn't sound so fun.

[ponies talking]

Applejack: Wow. I wonder where everypony's headed.

[distant fairground music]

Applejack: Now where in Ponyville do you two think you're goin'?

Granny Smith: Aw, quit bein' such a worry-worm and follow your ears!

Coconut Harvest: Come on, Applejack, aren't you curious?

[fairground music gets closer]

[ponies chattering]
