The Mane Attraction

[creaking and squeaking]

Twilight Sparkle: Wow, Applejack! Are you sure you've never managed a concert before?

Applejack: Well, it turns out doin' up a concert's the same as settin' up a rodeo.

Rose Light: And thanks to Pinkie's connections organizing the Ponypalooza Rock Concert, we've got quite a lineup for the Helping Hooves Music Festival.

Pinkie Pie: Twilight! Applejack! Rainbow Dash! Rarity! Fluttershy! Spike! Rose! Pinkie Pie! Oh wait, that's me. Everypony!

Twilight Sparkle: What is it, Pinkie?

Pinkie Pie: I have the most amazing news ever! It is totally gonna freak your frizz!

Rainbow Dash: Well, spill it, Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie: It wasn't easy. In fact, it was terribly difficult. But I have managed to book the biggest pony pop star in all of Equestria as the main attraction of the Helping Hooves Music Festival!

Applejack: Sapphire Shores?

Pinkie Pie: Sapphire Shores?! Please! Sapphire Shores is merely the second biggest pony pop star in Equestria. I have booked the one, the only, Countess Coloratura!

Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity Rose Light and Twilight Sparkle: Ahhh...

Applejack: Who in the hay is Countess Coloratura?

Sweetie Drops and Lyra Heartstrings: [gasps]

Amethyst Star: [gasps]

Fluttershy, Noteworthy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Royal Riff, Spike, Sprinkle Medley Rose Light and Twilight Sparkle: [gasps]

[poing]

Pinkie Pie: My frizz has been freaked!

Applejack: Pinkie Pie, who is this Countess Coloratura pony?

Pinkie Pie: Uh, I just told you that she's the biggest pony pop star in Equestria! How-how-how-how-how have you not heard of her?!

Applejack: Don't know. Though I did know a gal named Coloratura when I was just a filly. [laughs and snorts] Wouldn't it just be the funniest thing if that Coloratura and this Coloratura were the same Coloratura? Heh.

Pinkie Pie: Do you mean to tell me that you actually know Countess Coloratura?

Applejack: Well, I don't think it's the same pony, since my friend wasn't any sort of high-falutin' countess.

Pinkie Pie: Do you remember her cutie mark?

Applejack: Sure do. It had this super colorful bunch of musical notes that just shimmered in the light.

Pinkie Pie: You mean... like this?!

Applejack: Well, fancy that! That there's the very same cutie mark!

Pinkie Pie: Do you have any idea the number of hoops I had to jump through to get her to perform at the festival?! A whole lot of hoops! That pony is very demanding!

Applejack: Nah.

Pinkie Pie: Yah!

Rarity: I completely understand. We artistesrequire certain necessities in order to do our best work.

Applejack: This was clearly some sort of misunderstandin', 'cause Rara was just as down home as me!

Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Royal Riff, Spike, Sprinkle Medley Rose Light and Twilight Sparkle: Rara?!

Applejack: Even that big name was too fancy for her, so I shortened Coloratura to "Rara"!
