Fluttershy: [spooky voice] Welcome to Fluttershy's tea party!

Rainbow Dash: Did she just say "tea party"?

Twilight Sparkle: It sounds like it's a scary tea party?

Rainbow Dash: [sighs]

Fluttershy: [spooky voice] Have a seat. Don't be scared of what awaits you. Go on. Pass the sugar. Oh, no! There is none! You're a terrible host!

AJ: (growls)

Rarity, put your coat on!

Rarity: Why would I do that?

Fluttershy: [spooky voice] You need to cover up because no one has complimented your dressssssss!

Pinkie Pie, look to your left and ask your best friend to pass the cucumber sandwiches!

Pinkie Pie: Huh? I can't. There's nobody there.

Fluttershy: [spooky voice] That's right. Because she didn't care to show uuuuuup.

Pinkie Pie: What?

Fluttershy: [spooky voice] A friend who didn't come through. That must scare you to the coooore.

Quick, everybody, look behind you!

Rainbow Dash: Uh, what are those?

Fluttershy: [spooky voice] They're unplanned guests. Your woooorst nightmare. You don't have enough food for them! Oh, no! There's a tiny kitten that needs a home! But you are over-scheduled right now. You don't have time to help! I said, "You don't have time to help!" This should appear to scare you! [normal voice] Why don't you look terrified? You showed up to a party and everypony was extremely disappointed in you. Can you imagine anything more upsetting?

Rarity: It was a really good try, darling, but the scares at Nightmare Night are of an entirely different nature.

Twilight Sparkle: It was really creative, though. I never would have thought of... all this.

Fluttershy: Oh, I'm just not cut out for this. Just go on without me.

Rarity: Oh, no. We couldn't possibly.

Fluttershy: You have to. This is the night you look forward to all year.

Pinkie Pie: We could... stay here?

Fluttershy: It's okay. I really want you all to have fun. This is how I spend every Nightmare Night. Please go. I'll be fine.

Pinkie Pie: Eh, it's funny. I actually thought she had an idea for something really scary for a second there.

Applejack: She definitely tried her hardest.

[door closes]

Fluttershy: I did try my hardest.

Angel: [thumping on table]

Fluttershy: Or... maybe not. I suppose I could have gone with something a bit scarier. You're right! I've been taking baby steps! I think it's time for grown up ones! I don't suppose you have any ideas how I could do that?

Angel: [growls mischievously]
