[at the pub]

Kerfuffle: Today's a closing time for me.

[door creaking]

Kerfuffle: Good m- Mr. and Mrs. Dazzle!

Spoiled Dazzle: Good morning, Kerfuffle!

Filthy Dazzle: [laughter] It seems you like my daughters that much. Say, where are they?

Kerfuffle: They're inside the boutique at the right door. What's the situation today?

Spoiled Dazzle: Well, it is a surprise, Kerfuffle. [laughs]

Filthy Dazzle: It's like a buried treasure.

Kerfuffle: Bet'cha know, Mr. Dazzle. [leaving] I'll be going to Canterlot to have some lovely drink at the biggest pub they have.

Filthy Dazzle: Well, Kerfuffle is still the same.

[inside Sunny's Boutique]

Sunny Flare: [mumbling in sleep] Oh... Are those sweet... carrot... pancakes I smell? [gasp] Mmm, how divine, num num num num. The aroma... spiced warm apple cider. [sniff] Ahh, and, the smell of... smoke... smoke? Smoke?! [screams]

[fire siren, bumping noises and cries]

Diamond Dazzle: Sunny! Rrgh, you ruined the surprise! I was gonna serve you breakfast in bed!

Sunny Flare: [sigh]

[theme song]

Sunny Flare: [inhales]

Filthy Dazzle: Well! G'mornin', Sunny!

Sunny Flare: Father! Mother!

Filthy Dazzle: I'll have you know that Diamond Dazzle here cooked this yummy lookin' breakfast all on her own.

Sunny Flare: I... figured. [sniffs] I didn't know you could burn juice.

Spoiled Dazzle: I've been giving her lessons. I wouldn't be surprised if she's got a cutie mark in fancy cooking by the time we get back from our vacation.

Sunny Flare: Vacation? Is that this week? As in 'starting this very instant' this week?! Uurh. Let me guess: apple sauce?

Diamond Dazzle: Nope. Toast! We're gonna have the bestest time two sisters could ever have! I'm gonna go grab my stuff from Dad's wagon.

Sunny Flare: So, now, when you say 'a week'... is that, um, seven whole days?

Spoiled Dazzle: And six nights, I know! Such a short time to spend with your little sis.

Filthy Dazzle: You gonna eat that?

Sunny Flare: But I've got such a long to-do list. Oh well, I suppose 'spend time with your sister' will just have to be added to the list.

[crash]

Diamond Dazzle: Just a few necessities.

[horn honks]

Sunny Flare: Now, let's get that kitchen all cleaned up.

Diamond Dazzle: Cleaned up? But we haven't even eaten yet.

Sunny Flare: Well now, Diamond Dazzle, I appreciate the gesture, but we simply can't eat this breakfast; it's burnt.

Diamond Dazzle: It's not that burnt.

Sunny Flare: Never fear, my dear, I'll get a proper breakfast going.

Diamond Dazzle: Can I help?

Sunny Flare: Oh, er, of course, er, in one moment, Diamond Dazzle. Let me just get things started.

Diamond Dazzle: Sunny! I thought you said I was gonna help!

Sunny Flare: You are! You... can... put the garnish on the plates.

Diamond Dazzle: You mean this parsley?

Sunny Flare: Okay, now, easy! It has to be just right! No need to rush. No! That's too slow. Careful! Back up! Looking for perfection here...

Diamond Dazzle: Whoa, whoa!

[crash]

Sunny Flare: Not... bad.

Sunny Flare: [gasp] There are some things I must attend to. Can you take the dirty towels to the laundry room?

Diamond Dazzle: No problem, I'll make myself useful!

Sunny Flare: Diamond Dazzle!

Diamond Dazzle: I told you I'd make myself useful. Surprised?

Sunny Flare: Am I? You washed my incredibly expensive one-of-a-kind designer crocheted wool sweater! Do you know how hard these things are to come by?

Diamond Dazzle: What's the big deal?

Sunny Flare: The big deal is that in the heat of the sun, wool... shrinks.

Diamind Dazzle: Oh. Sorry.

Sunny Flare: Nng... Well. Back to work. I must create.

Diamond Dazzle: Sorry?

Sunny Flare: Huh. Stay out of trouble, okay? Please?

Diamond Dazzle: I just wanted to do something nice for my sister.

Diamond Dazzle: Raargh, I'm so bored! When is Sunny gonna finish her work?

Sunny Flare: [in Diamond Dazzle's mind] Stay out of trouble, okay?

Diamond Dazzle: I never got in trouble for drawing. Hmm. This needs something...

Diamond Dazzle: Hi, Sunny! I made a special drawing for y–

Sunny Flare: [screams] Oh no! Did you use these gems?!

Sweetie Belle: Well, yes, but I know you'll have more in your work room...

Sunny Flare: But, but these are extremely rare baby blue sapphires! I need them for an outfit for an extremely important client!

Sweetie Belle: Oh. Sorry.

Sunny Flare: [sigh] Diamond Dazzle, what am I going to do with you?

Diamond Dazzle: Oh! We could paint together, we could ride bikes, play chess, sing a song, catch frogs, pillow fight–

Sunny Flare: That's not what I meant!

Diamond Dazzle: Oh.

Sunny Flare: Now I have to go and find some more of these gems!

Diamond Dazzle: I'll go with you and help!

Sunny Flare: No! No thank you. You can help by picking up these papers and stacking them, neatly. Put the pens and pencils back exactly where you found them, and please find something to do that doesn't create a large mess for me to clean up!

Diamond Dazzle: Geez Madame Tabitha, can't I do anything right?

Sunny Flare: Diamond Dazzle! I'm back! Diamond Dazzle? [gasps in shock]

Diamond Dazzle: Surprise!

Sunny Flare: My- ee- bleh- My inspiration room! What did you do? What did you do?!

Diamond Dazzle: When I saw the big mess in your room, I thought I'd clean it up for you.

Sour Sweet: This wasn't a mess! It was organized chaos! I was just about finished planning my new fashion line, and, and you, you, you went and, and you– and you put everything away!

Diamond Dazzle: But every time I make a mess, you get upset!

Sunny Flare: But this was my mess in my house! And now I have to start from scratch!

Diamond Dazzle: But, I thought it would make you happy!

Sunny Flare: Happy?! Happy?! I– [grinds teeth] I just need some time alone. Hm!

Silver Spoon: How's the sleepover at Sunny's goin'?

Diamond Dazzle: [mimicking Sunny] Why, it's smashing!

Silver Spoon: Huh?

Diamond Dazzle: I just wish we could do something special together that didn't include me goofing anything up.

Silver Spoon: The Sisterhooves Social! Sugarcoat an' I do it every year! You an' Sunny can compete against other sister teams in all these neat events!

Diamond Dazzle: That sounds like the perfect way for us to hang out! Sunny will think it's an excellent idea.

Sunny Flare: What a ridiculous idea. A contest at Sweet Apple Acres? It doesn't sound... very... clean.

Diamond Dazzle: So, what, now you're back to hating messes?

Sunny Flare: Diamond Dazzle, watch your tone! I am still your big sister.

Diamond Dazzle: Right! And any sister who cares about her sister goes!

Sunny Flare: Diamond Dazzle...! Honestly! Playing silly little games in the dirt is just... uncouth! With or without a sister.

Diamond Dazzle: Well then! Maybe, maybe I'll try the Sisterhooves Social without a sister! In fact, I think I'll try the rest of my life without a sister!

Sunny Flare: [gasp] Oh, I'm the one who's ruining your life?! Really?! Have you looked around this place? I'm the one who'd be better off with no sister!

Diamond Dazzle: Well it looks like we finally agree on something! Neither of us needs a sister!

Sunny Flare: Deal!

Diamond Dazzle: Deal! Goodbye, un-sister!

Sunny Flare: Hmph! Good luck living with her, Diamond!

Sugarcoat: 'Uncouth'? She said the Sisterhooves Social was 'uncouth'?

Silver Spoon: Yeah! Uncouth? [belch] Wait. What's uncouth?

Diamond Dazzle: It's not just the Social. She thinks I'm uncouth.

Sugarcoat: Honey, Sunny thinks everything's uncouth.

Silver Spoon: [with mouth full] What's uncouth?

Sugarcoat: It means uncivil. Y'know, bad mannered?

Silver Spoon: [belch]

Sugarcoat: Exactly. Diamond Dazzle, just give Sunny some time. She'll come around. Sisters always do.

Diamond Dazzle: Not sisters like Sunny.

Sugarcoat: Come on, now. Silver Spoon and I got some chores to finish up on. Maybe you can help!

Diamond Dazzle: You sure you want me to help? I just mess everything up!

Sugarcoat: Oh, come on, that's just stinkin' thinkin'. Watch!

Sugarcoat and Silver Spoon: [laughing]

Sugarcoat: Good catch there, Silver Spoon! Whoo!

Sugarcoat and Silver Spoon: [more laughing]

Diamond Dazzle: This is a chore?

Sugarcoat: Since we can't sell the bruised cherries, we gotta collect them all for the pigs to eat.

Silver Spoon: It's a lot of work, so we make a game of it. Wanna try?

Diamond Dazzle: Um, okay. Ow! You're right, it is hard work.

Silver Spoon: That's why we do it...

Sugarcoat and Silver Spoon: Together!

Diamond Dazzle: Huh, Sunny never wants to do chores together.

Sunny Flare: Ugh, all that work ruined, thanks to Diamond Dazzle. Oh my. It's usually a big mess in here. [gasp] Id-ee-a! This is genius! I shall call it 'full spectrum fashions'! If Sweetie Belle hadn't– [clears throat] Well, no matter. She still shouldn't have touched my things without permission. Hm!

Sugarcoat: Silver Spoon! You're up!

Diamond Dazzle: You're... making... grape juice? Sunny would call the fashion police on me if I got grape juice anywhere near her precious outfits.

Silver Spoon: Well, that's silly!

Sugarcoat: Silver Spoon...

Diamond Dazzle: Please, Sugarcoat, she didn't mean–

Silver Spoon: Whoa! [laughing]

Sugarcoat: How d'you like them grapes, y'little wench in the brig of mah ship!

Silver Spoon: That tickles! [laughing]

Sunny Flare: Now to get these fabrics washed for my fabulous new line. Ooh, my favorite sweater... I just can't believe that Diamond Dazzle.

Serenade: [growls]

Sunny Flare: Oh, Serene-adey! It's as if Diamond Dazzle knew the sweater was perfect for you. And Diamond Dazzle should consider herself perfectly lucky that this thoughtless mishap turned out all right. Hm.

[sheep baaing]

Sugarcoat: Silver Spoon!

Silver Spoon: Got it, sis!

Diamond Dazzle: Wow. It's as if they were just one pony.

Sugarcoat and Silver Spoon: Yo-ho-ho!

Sugarcoat: Way to corral some critters, sis!

Sheep: You coulda just a-a-a-asked.

Diamond Dazzle: Sunny never high-hoofs me.

Sunny Flare: Perfect! Just one more, and this ensemble is fini! Rrgh, Diamond Dazzle! Where's her silly little arts and crafts project?

Sunny Flare: Oh, Diamond Dazzle! My one and only sister! What have I done? All the time I could have spent with you was wasted complaining and wishing you were gone! [crying dramatically] Woe is me! No! I must get her back! I must! As Luna is my witness, I shall never be sisterless again!

Sunny Flare: [gasp] Diamond Dazzle! Oh, I have been galloping all over looking for you. I–

Diamond Dazzle: Oh hello, un-sister. What are you doing here? Better be careful, you might get some dust on you.

Sunny Flare: Oh, Diamond Dazzle, I want to apologize. I am not better off without a sister.

Diamond Dazzle: I'm not better off without a sister either. Spending the day with Sugarcoat and Silver Spoon made me realize that.

Sunny Flare: Oh, Diamond, you don't know how happy I am to hear–

Diamond Dazzle: And that's why I'm adopting Sugarcoat as my big sister!

Sunny Flare: What?!

Sugarcoat: What?!

Silver Spoon: What?!

Diamond Dazzle: A sister is someone who loves and takes care of another sister. Sugarcoat's a real sister.

Sugarcoat: H-Hold on, Diamond Dazzle. Don't get ahead of yourself here.

Silver Spoon: Besides, she's my big sister!

Sugarcoat: Yeah, um–

Diamond Dazzle: [to Sunny] Or maybe she should be your sister, so she could teach you what a good sister is supposed to be!

Sugarcoat: Heh, um, actually, I–

Sunny Flare: But I don't need lessons on being a good sister, I-I promise! Listen! I'll show you how to cook my favorite quiche! Or, or, I'll show you the proper way to beautify your mane. Won't that be fun? Hm?

Diamond Dazzle: Hm! You want me to go home with you, so we can do what you wanna do?

Sunny Flare: Uh... yes?

Diamond Dazzle: Just forget it!

Silver Spoon: We're still sisters, right?

Sunny Flare: Well, that apology went swimmingly. Sugarcoat, why do you have to be so good and make me look so bad?

Sugarcoat: [chuckles] Oh Sunny, once again you're thinkin' about yourself. Bein' sisters is a give and take. You've been doin' a whole lotta takin', but you haven't been doin' a whole lotta givin'.

Sunny Flare: But of course I give. I give lessons. Reasonable demands.

Sugarcoat: But ya never give in. Bein' sisters is like... cherry pie. You can have amazin' cherries, and you can have a wonderfully crispy crust, but only together you can have a perfect cherry pie.

Sunny Flare: But apart, all we are is just a pile of mush and some crumbly dry mess... [gasp] I know what I need to do! I just hope it isn't too late!

Diamond Dazzle: Well, I guess it's a good thing Rarity isn't here. Do I see 'uncouth' written all over this contest?

Silver Spoon: Look at the size of that pig!

Sugarcoat: He sure is a cutie.

Diamond Dazzle: That's the last word Sunny would use. [mimicking Sunny] Oh my, what a repulsive monstrosity! This thing needs a head to toe makeover!

Sugarcoat: It's almost time!

Diamond Dazzle: Well, you two have fun. Sure wish I had a sister to run the race with. Huh?

Silver Spoon: You do now!

Sugarcoat: SS and I figured since we do this every year...

Silver Spoon: I'd let you borrow my sis so you can give it a try!

Sugarcoat: Sister for a day.

Diamond Dazzle: No way!

Silver Spoon: One. Day. One. Day.

Granny Cinch: Be this thin' on? Yaaarrrrr! [to Pokey Pierce] I dern't think this thin' be on. [to the megaphone] Ahoy, comely wenches and lassocks! [Pokey Pierce whispers into her ear] What be th'- e- oh. ye have t' say so. Confangled modern thingamajigs. Now, th' event ye've all been waitin' fer! Th' Sister Soci- th' Socialhooves- Oh, Jack Rum, ye be knowin', th' big race! We have five teams this year fer th' event, pass the grog! So y'all head on up t' th' finish line, y'hear? [Pokey Pierce whispers into her ear] [to Pokey Pierce] Eh? [to the megaphone] Th' start line, avast! [to Pokey Pierce] That's what I said.

Diamond Dazzle: That's us.

Silver Spoon: One. Day. Good luck!

Granny Cinch: And may th' best sisters win! On yer marks... get set.., to be sure. Gooooo!

Sugarcoat: [yelps]

Diamond Dazzle: You okay, Sugarcoat?

Diamond Dazzle: Applejack, help!

Diamond Dazzle: You can do it, sister!

[ponies cheering]

Silver Spoon: Ooh, so close! You almost won!

Diamond Dazzle: Thank you, Sugarcoat! You were amazing! I don't even care that we didn't win. This was so much fun! Huh? Sunny?! Wait, where's Sugarcoat?

Sugarcoat: [deep breath]

Diamond Dazzle: I don't get it.

Sugarcoat: [chuckles] We switched places over at the very first mudhole.

Diamond Dazzle: So, we did the whole competition... together?

Sunny Flare: That we did, little sister. Well, except for the start line.

Silver Spoon: But you finished together!

Diamond Dazzle: You mean... you were all in on it?

Sugarcoat, Silver Spoon and Sunny Flare: Mm-hmm.

Diamond Dazzle: You did this for me?

Sunny Flare: Us. I did it for us. You see? We are cherry pie!

Diamond Dazzle: Huh?

Sunny Flare: Uh, I'll explain later. For now, I think we deserve a celebration!

Sugarcoat, Silver Spoon and Diamond Dazzle: Yeah!

Diamond Dazzle: Where?

Sunny Flare: The spa, of course.

Sugarcoat, Silver Spoon and Diamond Dazzle: [laughing]

Diamond Dazzle: Oh, Sunny.

Sunny Flare: No, I-I-I'm serious.

Rarity: Very well then, what should we write to the Princess?

Diamond Dazzle: I'll start. Having a sister is just about the bestest thing in the world. But it sure isn't the easiest.

Sunny Flare: I agree that being sisters is a wonderful thing, but it takes teamwork. Sometimes it's about compromising. Sometimes it's about accepting each others' differences. But mostly, it's about having fun together. Even if it means getting your hooves a little bit dirty.

Diamond Dazzle: A lot dirty.

Sunny Flare: A little bit dirty.

Diamond Dazzle: A lot dirty.

Sunny Flare: A little bit dirty!

Diamond Dazzle: A lo–

Garble: Hold it, hold it! How about "a medium amount of dirty, not too little, not too much, just right"?

Sunny Flare and Diamond Dazzle: Deal!
