Granny Smith: Oh, snickerdoodle! Where is the darned thing? [groans] I wish for once I'd remembered to label these boxes! Uh, Big Mac, be a dear and help me move those... uh, maybe it's in that one on the bottom.
[boxes creaking]
[lid sliding]
Granny Smith: Oh, dagnabbit, it's not in there either!
Apple Bloom: [muffled laughing] [normal] You can't catch me!
Applejack: [laughing] Woo-hoo!
Coconut Harvest: Hey!
Applejack: [more laughing] You trickster!
Granny Smith: Sisterhooves Social is right around the corner. Thought it'd be nice to award the winner of the big race the ribbon from when we hosted the very first Social! If'n of course I could find the darn thing. Oh, would you looky here! My, how Apple Bloom used to love watching you make that thing fly. It's like she thought you was magic. Ah, right, enough reminiscin'. Gotta find that ribbon! If you would just help me— [straining] pull... this... box, then maybe I can... uh, Big Mac?
[thump]
Granny Smith: [straining] Found her!
Apple Bloom and Applejack: S-I-S-T-E-R-S! Which two sisters are the best? We are! Apple Bloom and Applejack forever! Yee-hoo!
Apple Bloom: We're gonna win every competition at the Sisterhooves Social! Those other fillies aren't gonna know what hit 'em!
Applejack: Oh. Hey there, Big Mac! Did you want somethin'?
Big Mac: Eeyup.
Coconut Harvest: Hold that thought. Applejack, you are the most awesome friend ever!
Applejack: Aw, gee-whiz. [laughs] Well I think it's sweet that you hold that opinion, but—
Apple Bloom: It's not opinion! It's objective fact! You saved Equestria like a gazillion times, you're smart, funny, strong... why, you're the best sister of all time! Probably the best Apple of all time! Right, Big Mac?
Big Mac: Eeyup.
Coconut Harvest: And with you by my side, I am guaranteed to taste sweet, sweet Sisterhooves Social victory! Go, Apples, go, go, go, Apples go!
Applejack: Uh, Apple Bloom and Coconut Harvest? I think Big Mac's got somethin' he wants to show you.
[squeaking]
[dragonfly toy spinning]
[clicking]
Apple Bloom: Oh, hey. Is that the toy we used to play with when I was little?
Big Mac: Eeyup!
Coconut Harvest: Neat. [to Applejack] Alright then! Let's get back to practicin'! One more run-through of our jugglin' routine, make sure our harmonies are tight in our song, and see if we can't beat our best pie-eatin' time!
Applejack: Hold on, sugarcube. I need a minute to talk with Big Mac.
Apple Bloom: Mind if I go ahead and start eatin' this pie?!
[splat]
[hammer clanging on anvil]
Applejack: Hey, Big Mac, you all right?
Big Mac: [sighs] Yup.
Applejack: You sure? You seemed a little down back there.
Big Mac: [scoffs] Nope.
Applejack: Come on, you can tell me. You feelin' a little left out? Apple Bloom, Coconut Harvest and I have been spendin' a lot of time together gettin' ready for the Social.
