The Final Chapter of Season One.

Lemon Zest: Ahh! I... can't... believe... the Grand... Galloping... Gala... is... tonight!

Sunset Shimmer: Lemon! Please stop shouting, I'm trying to concentrate.

Sunny Flare: Lemon Zest! Stop that right now. It's time to prepare for the Gala, and I refuse to let you put on your new dress when you're all sweaty.

Lemon Zest: What's Sunset doing?

Garble: She's got an awesome magic spell she's been working on for the Gala.

Sunny Flare: Where are the others? It's getting late.

Sugarcoat: Hold your horses, girl. We're here.

Sunny Flare: Perfect! I'm ready.

Indigo Zap: For what?

Sunset Shimmer: All right, Garble.

Lemon Zest: A cherry! Are we having pie?

Garble: Shh! Watch!

[collective: Awesome! Wow! Lovely!]

Sunset Shimmer: Thanks. But that's just the start. Sour Sweet, did you bring your friends?

Sour Sweet: Yes. Will they be safe, Sunset?

Sunset Shimmer: You have my word.

Sunset Shimmer: Ta-da!

[collective: Oh. Uh. Ah. That's a choice. Interesting.]

Sunset Shimmer: Neat, huh? And don't worry. They'll be mice again at midnight.

Sour Sweet: Serenade, no!

["mouse-horses" neighing]

Sunset Shimmer: Wait! Come back! Those horses were supposed to pull our carriage. How will we get to the Gala?

Sunny Flare: Whatever shall we do?

Sunny Flare: Uh... ahem. Excuse me. Uh, would you boys mind pulling our carriage to the Gala?

Sunset Shimmer: Oh. Yeah. Right.

[theme song]

Lemon Zest: Ooh!

Garble: Come on, you guys. Let me in!

Indigo Zap: Sure thing, Garble.

Sour Sweet: Heavens no! We're getting dressed.

Sugarcoat: Dressed? Uh, beg pardon, Sunny, but, uh... we don't normally wear clothes.

Sunny Flare: [moan] I'm sorry, Garble. Some of us do have standards.

Garble: I still can't believe we're gonna be at Canterlot tonight. Our hometown, Sunset! And the best part is that we all get to hang out together all night long!

Indigo Zap: Uh... I-I don't know, Garble.

Sunny Flare: We'll just have to see.

Sugarcoat: We're gonna be a mite busy.

Lemon Zest: Busy having fun! [boing]

Garble: Oh. Okay.

Sunset Shimmer: Don't worry, Garble. We'll all get to spend some time together.

Garble: Great!

Garble: 'Cause I planned out my insider's tour of Canterlot. I've gotta show Sunny the crown jewels, and Sugarcoat the Princess's golden cherry tree. And Lemon, we gotta go to my favorite donut shop.

[excited chatter inside carriage]

Garble: Then let's get moving! Hyah!

Caramel: Excuse me!?

Garble: Um... I...

Lucky Clover: If you weren't friends with our neighbor Sunny... Hmph.

Garble: Whoa! You all look... amazing!

Sunset Shimmer: I can't believe we're finally here. With all that we've imagined, the reality of this night is sure to make this... The Best Night Ever!

Sunset Shimmer: Princess! I've been so excited to spend time with you and...

Princess Luna: Yes. Me too, Sun... Oh, good evening! Welcome to the Gala. Which is why I... Ladies! Lovely to see you again.

Sunset Shimmer: [sigh] Looks like getting a chance to talk to the Princess is gonna be a magic trick in itself.

Sugarcoat: First minute, first sale. Second... Fourth... Sixth... Sixtieth minute... no sales. [sigh] This ain't what I expected at all.

Lemon Zest: I'm at the Grand Galloping Gala... and it's not what I dreamed.

Sunny Flare: This isn't at all what I imagined.

Princess Luna: [in background] Good evening! So nice to see you. Welcome!

Sunset Shimmer: This isn't what I hoped.

Indigo Zap: This isn't hanging out.

Sour Sweet: This isn't what I wished for.

Sour Sweet: Gotcha! It's okay. I promise not to hurt you. I just wanna be your... friend?

Mr. Greenhooves: Mmm... Sounds good to me.

Indigo Zap: Come on, Indigo! If they don't notice you, you gotta make 'em notice you. [whistles]

Count Caesar: [yells] [grunts]

Sunny Flare: Just give him a chance, Sunny. His princely side is sure to come out if you're just patient.

Prince Fancy Pants: Miss Sunny! Stop!

Sunny Flare: Oh. Prince Fancy Pants! How chivalrous.

Prince Fancy Pants: One would hate to slip.

Sunny Flare: Yes. One certainly would.

Prince Fancy Pants: One's cloak should take care of the problem.

Sunny Flare: Oh, of course it will.

Lemon Zest: [gasp] [whispering]

Lemon Zest: C'mon, everypony! I know what will make you shake those groove-thangs!

[Lemon Zest]

You reach your right hoof in

You reach your right hoof out

You reach your right hoof in

And you shake it all about

You do the Pony Pokey meeting lots of folks with clout

That's what I'm talking about

You step your left hoof in

You pull it right back out

You step your left hoof in

But you better help him out

You do the Pony Pokey but should find a different route

That's what it's all about

You kick your back left in

You pull your back left out

You reach your back left in

Just be brave and have no doubt

You do the Pony Pokey feeling like you're gonna pout

That's what I'm singing about

You tilt your head in

You tilt your head out

You tilt your head in

Then you shake it all about

You do the Pony Pokey even though your date's a lout

You're better off without

You stomp your whole self in

You stomp your whole self out

You stomp your whole self in

And you stomp yourself about

You do the Pony Pokey and you give a little shout-

Sour Sweet: COME OUT!

[Lemon Zest]

That's what I'm talking about

You do the Pony Pokey

You do the Pony Pokey

You do the Pony Pokey

And that's what it's all about

Yeah!

Lyrica Lilac: Young lady, this is not that kind of party.

Lemon Zesf: Ohhhhhh... They don't want a party. These ponies want a paaartay!

Sunny Flare: Two cherry fritters and two glasses of red rum, please.

Sugarcoat: Two cherry fritters and two red rums comin' right up. That'll be eight bits.

Sunny Flare: Ahem.

Prince Fancy Pants: Ahem.

Sunny Flare: Ahem!

Prince Fancy Pants: Ahem!

Sunny Flare: [sigh] I'm going to have to pay, aren't I?

Sugarcoat: It's okay, Sunny Flare. I got you covered.

Sunny Flare: Thank you, Sugarcoat. At least somepony here has good manners.

Prince Fancy Pants: [barf] Oh! Fritters! Dumplings! Caramel apples! Rum! My royal lips have touched common carnival fare! I'm going to the buffet for some... hors d'oeuvres.

Sugarcoat: Well, no wonder nopony wants my food. They're fillin' up on those fancy-schmancy vittles. Well, my down-home cherries are plenty good enough for this crowd. I'll just dress 'em up a bit and prove it to 'em.

Sour Sweet: I'll catch you yet, my pretties. Oh yes. As soon as one of you little birds or monkeys or bears touches this net... you'll be mine! Mine! [evil laugh] Whoa!

Lemon Zest: Come on, everypony! You wanted a partay? Now it's paaartaaay! Yeah! Uh! Now that's a beat, yeah! Uh! C'mon, dance! Yeah, woohoo!

Sugarcoat: Okay, all you high-class ponies. Here's a highfalutin cherry cake for your hoity-toity taste buds.

Sugarcoat: Stage dive!

Sunny Flare and Prince Fancy Pants: [scream]

Sunny Flare: [angry growl] Celestia on a bicycle! You, sir, are the most uncharming prince I have ever met! In fact, the only thing royal about you is that you are a royal pain! Gah, disgusting! I hope you should be sent to the closest loony bin!

Prince Fancy Pants: Ewww...! Uh, stay back! I just had myself groomed!

Sunny Flare: Afraid to get dirty?! [babbles]

Prince Fancy Pants: [whimpering]

Indigo Zap: This is my chance! Yes! Whoa!

[crash]

Sunset Shimmer: Well... it can't get any worse.

[rumbling]

[door opens]

[animals chattering]

Sour Sweet: You're... going to love me!

[ponies screaming]

Sunset Shimmer: Um, um, uh... Eugh.

Princess Luna: Run.

Sunset Shimmer: [whistles]

Lemon Zest: Ooh! Sunny, your glass slipper! Now your prince is sure to find you.

Sunny Flare: [shriek] No! Ugh! Let's go!

Garble: Hey, Pony Joe. Another donut.

Joe: Don't you think you've had enough?

Garble: Another donut! Extra sprinkles!

[bell rings]

Joe: Sunset Shimmer! Ha, ha. Long time no see.

Garble: Hey, how was the Gala? How was your best night ever? Was it?

Everypony: [collectively] NO!

Garble: That sounds like the worst night ever!

Everypony: It was! [laughter]

Sunset Shimmer: I just hope Princess Luna isn't upset with us for ruining the Gala.

Princess Luna: That was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever!

Everypony: Princess Luna!

Sunset Shimmer: Pardon me, Princess, but tonight was just awful.

Princess Luna: Oh, Sunset. The Grand Galloping Gala is always awful.

Sunset Shimmer: It is?

Princess Luna: That is why I was thrilled you were all attending. I was hoping you could liven things up a bit. And while the evening may not have gone as you planned, I'm sure you'll agree that in the end it didn't turn out so bad for this group of friends.

Sunset Shimmer: You're right, Princess. Friends have a way of making even the worst of times into something pretty great.

Indigo Zap: Yeah! Hanging out with friends!

Sour Sweet: Talking!

Lemon Zest: Laughing!

Garble: You mean doing exactly what I wanted to do the whole time?

Sunset Shimmer: Yes, Garble. You were right.

Sugarcoat: As horrible as our night was...

Sunny Flare: ...being together here has made it all better.

Lemon Zest: In fact, it's made it...

All (except Luna): ...the best night ever! [laughter]
