Equestria Games

Rainbow Dash: This just got real!

[ponies chattering]

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: [cheering]

[creaking]

Rainbow Dash: Listen up, gang! We're almost there, so I've got a few things to say. First off, who here besides me thinks this is the best Equestria Games delegation in Ponyville history?

[ponies cheering]

Bulk Biceps: Yeah!

Rainbow Dash: And no matter what your sport is, we gotta give it our best, because we've all got a genuine shot at Ponyville gold!

[ponies cheering]

Rainbow Dash: ...With the possible exception of Bulk Biceps, Fluttershy, and me. I mean, we're good and all, but we're up against the Wonderbolts in the aerial relay, so gold's kind of a stretch. Let's not kid ourselves.

Scootaloo: Don't feel bad, Rainbow Dash! We have absolutely no shot at getting gold either!

Rainbow Dash: Uh, that's because you're carrying the flag for Ponyville in the opening ceremony. There are no winners.

Scootaloo: Winners or not, we still have the chance to be awesome!

Rainbow Dash: That's the spirit! You hear that, everypony? Winners or not, we all still have the chance to be awesome!

[ponies cheering]

Rainbow Dash: But, uh, let's still try to win lots and lots of stuff too, 'kay?

[steam hissing]

[bell ringing]

Spike: [straining] It's all in there, gang! Leave it to Spike, champion gear-carrier for all your gear-carrying needs.

Apple Bloom: And the Ponyville flag? You sure? And what about the flagpole?

Spike: In with the portable ramp! Whoa!

[thud]

Scootaloo: Give it a rest, Apple Bloom.

Spike: Aw, she's just nervous, that's all. Perfectly understandable. Whenever I'm afraid I'll forget something or start to panic, I have a simple trick. I count to ten, and by the time I'm done, I've calmed myself enough to get the job done right every time. Easy-peasy, cider-squeezy!

[hooves rumbling]

Spike: Hey! Put me down!

Scootaloo: What's going on?!

Twilight Sparkle: Spike! Are you all right?

Crystal Guard: A thousand pardons, O Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious.

Spike: Huh? Who the what now?

Princess Cadance: [to guards] Thanks for bringing Spike to us. [to Spike] It's okay, Spike. We'll have our hoofponies go back for your bags.

Spike: Uh, can they hang back a second and tell me what's going on first? [eating] Mm! So the ponies here think I'm some kind of hero, huh? [to Fleur De Verre] More of the green ones, please? I like the green ones.

Rose Light: Last time you were here, you got the Crystal Heart to Princess Cadance and Princess Moonstone Dream in time to save this entire empire from destruction!

Princess Moonstone Dream: You are known throughout my empire as "Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious".

Twilight Sparkle: Isn't that awesome? You're a big shot here, Spike! See that? That's you!
