*the next morning*
Sunset/Glare: [snoring]
[phone buzzes, alarm sounds]
Sunset/Glare: Hmm? [sighs happily]
*the two get dressed and go outside to find the exact same events as yesterday unfolding*
Sunset: *worried* It... can't be.
Glare- *worried* It's still—
Rainbow Dash: *excited* Starswirled day one!
Blitz- *excited* Come and get it!
[they hit Sunset and Glare with the oars which irritates them]
Rainbow/Blitz: *walks off* Oh! Uh, sorry. We'll be more careful from now on.
P. Twilight/P. Dusk- *quietly reading but lightly glances at Sunset and Glare then goes back to reading*
Sunset/Glare: *annoyed*Okay, Equestrian magic.
*as the two keep going through the time loop*
Sunset/Glare: *irritated* Our....do-over....can....end now! *sighs* Cue Snips, and push Sandalwood out of the way in three, two...
Snips: You stage direct— Whoa! [groans as he trips and his ice cream goes flying]
Sunset- *stops Sandalwood*
[the ice cream falls]
Snips: *sad* Aww. *to them* Could've warned me, you know?
Sunset: *unamused* Tried that. You called me a witch.
Snips: [gasps in shock] Are you?!
Glare: [groans and grunts as he bumps into the festival artist]
Festival Artist: *glares* Hey, watch it!
Glare: *unamused* Sorry. Thought you didn't come up 'til later. I'll make a note of that for next time.
Sunset- *bored* Day seventeen – saw paint guy by food truck right before he breaks up with his girlfriend. It's not you, it's her. *the girlfriend runs off* *to Snips* I'm not a witch.
Both- *walks away* We're just gonna go.
Festival Artist: Yeah, well... you better run!
Sunset: *realizes* Run from our problems?
Glare- *smirks* We... actually haven't tried that yet.
*later that night Sunset and Glare hijack the RV and drive off while everyone is sleeping and startled them awake*
Lavender Quartet- *quickly come to the front and holds on to something*
Twilight/Dusk: [yelps] Sunset! Slow down!
P. Twilight/P. Dusk- *yelps* What are you two doing?!
Equestria Girls and Guys: [yelping]
Sunset: *frantic* We gotta break out of here somehow!
Glare- *frantic* Maybe if we leave the campgrounds, it'll finally end!
*Pinkie and Bubble rush out and glares at them*
Pinkie/Bubble: *glares* What. Are. You. Two. Talking about?!
Sunset/Glare: *angrily* This is all your fault!
Equestria Girls and Guys: [screaming]
[exhaust backfires]
[engine dies]
*outside Applejack, Rainbow, AJ, and Blitz are looking at the RV*
*Elusive and Butterscotch are soothing Fluttershy and Rarity to sleep while drifting off themselves*
*the dogs are sleep*
*Sunset and Glare are sitting on a rock in shame while the Lavender Quartet look them over and Pinkie and Bubble sit next to them*
Pinkie Pie: Are you saying the calendar industry cooked up a conspiracy to make every day today just to save paper?!
Sunset/Glare: *annoyed* No, we're not saying that at all.
Bubble: *admits* You're right. It's too obvious.
*the two walk off*
Sunset: *to the Lavender Quartet* Sorry to hijack the RV while you were all sleeping, but we've tried everything except leaving.
Twilight Sparkle: Hmm... It's possible a snag in the fabric of spacetime could cause a...
Twilight and Sunset: *in unison* ...temporal point – i.e., this day – to fold in on itself and thereby repeat.
[the six look at each other]
Dusk and Glare: *in unison* You really have done this a lot.
[P. Twilight and P. Dusk look at each other]
Twilight, Dusk, Glare and Sunset: Okay, you've made your point! Stop!
Sunset Shimmer: [sighs] This time loop started because we missed PostCrush.
Glare- *looks at them* So why didn't it end when we saw them?
Twilight/Dusk: *glances at Pinkie and Bubble* You two sure it's only about PostCrush?
P. Twilight/P. Dusk- *arches eyebrow with unamused looks*
Sunset/Glare: Uh...
Pinkie: *to P. Twilight and P. Dusk* We probably ask you two this every day, but what did Sunset and Glare say when they told you about all this?
Bubble- *to Sunset and Glare* And what did they say?
Sunset Shimmer: *realizes and looks at P. Twilight and P. Dusk happily* You two are magic experts and have dealt with this before! Of course! How did we ask you two weeks ago?
*the six look at them*
Sunset/Glare- *blushes*
Twilight/Dusk- *looks at their siblings in disbelief who are looking at them unamused*
Pinkie Pie: [giggles] Seriously though, why didn't you?
Bubble- *smiles* Are you two asking yourself, "Selves, how do we spend seventeen days with our best friends Pinkie Pie and Bubble Berry without asking for help until now?"
Sunset/Glare: *nervous* Uh...
Lavender Quartet: *arches eyebrow in unison* Still think this is only about PostCrush?
Sunset/Glare- *looks away*
Applejack: *walks over*?Bad news. Transmission's shot. Repairs ain't gonna be cheap.
AJ- Tow truck says he'll need cash tomorrow.
Rainbow/Blitz: [yawns]
Sunset Shimmer: [sighs, sarcastically] Tomorrow? Sure.
Glare- *sarcastic* Tell him we'll give him a million bucks if we see him!
P. Twilight/P. Dusk- *sighs*
