Hello everypony, Starlight Glimmer here. Normally Princess Celestia would give this synopsis but the reins have been handed to me for a very specific reason, one which you will find out later. So here we go, my synopsis of "Hard to Say Anything."

Another day in Ponyville has arrived and the CMC are up to something involving these costumes left over from Rarity's shop. I swear, I don't know what is going on with that but it seems like Rarity has been spending more time up in Canterlot here lately. Ok, that is irrelevant here so let's get moving on shall we?

It looks like Big Mac is getting ready to haul another delivery of apples to somewh....wait a minute, he's making another delivery out to my old village? Now who in Equestria would be ordering so many apples all the time. Unless my old village has transformed into a big city, I wouldn't think so many apples so often would be necessary.

Of course the CMC are also interested and they must know something that nopony else does. They ask about the delivery and he blushes? Alright, I'm very curious and I'm going to find out what is going on so I'm going to take a page out of Celestia's playbook. I did the invisibility and teleport spell into the back of Big Mac's cart and I would not be alone in this journey. It looks like the girls are curious as well. They seem to think he has a crush on somepony out there and we'll see. I'm not sure of who out there he would have a crush but it will be fun to see.

After a very long ride we finally arrive out there and unfortunately, I have to stay invisible! What a shame too because I really wanted to go and eat some of Sugar Belle's treats. Speaking of her, she is the one who has been ordering all the apples. I can't help but wonder why....oh boy, Big Mac is blushing at her! It looks like the hardest working pony out there has his first crush and I can't help but wonder if the feelings are mutual.

Naturally the CMC are going to try to get those two to hook up and while I wasn't around to see them try to play matchmaker before, Twilight told me enough about it that I couldn't help but do a facehoof over it. Seriously girls, you three are the last ones I'd want to try and hook other ponies up. No love poisons this time girls, you've got to try and make this natural!

Unfortunately it looks like Big Mac isn't the only one trying to win Sugar Belle's attention. It appears as though Feather Bangs was trying to as well. Ugh, even when I had him unmarked he still acted like a bit of a prima donna but with his mark, he is basically an attention whore on steroids. I remember when I first met him he hit on me so naturally I unmarked him before Double Diamond and Party Favor gave him too much of a welcome. He learned right away that nopony hits on me and gets away with it. I'm thinking, perhaps Trixie and I should make another trip out there. I could point him out to her, tell her of his behavior and not only would I be happy, but so would Big Mac.

Now for something that has me rather confused. I know back in the day Sugar Belle wasn't overly fond of Feather Bangs, well ok both of them were unmarked so that may not count. Anyway, back to the present. Feather Bangs is trying to win Sugar Belle's attention and I'm not impressed by how he's doing it. Big Mac picks Sugar Belle a simple flower to give to her, nothing too flashy but Feather Bangs just had to get some over the top bouquet. First off, where the hell did he get it? I've looked around and I don't see any floral shops around here.

Well it looks like Big Mac is throwing in the towel and headed home. Don't do that Big Mac, you gotta show her that you're the better stallion. I'm not the only one thinking this, the CMC are as well but naturally, they are going to give him some advice that may not work out so well. Memo to Sweetie Belle: Just because things like this work out in some idiotic fairy tale doesn't mean it will work out in real life!

Here we go with the shenanigans. First up, rescuing a damsel in distress. I know Sugar Belle well enough to know that she ain't going to go crying and whining over something those three would do. Ok Scootaloo, you do realize that stealing her saddlebags is illegal, right? Well Big Mac looks like he is going to stop her and get his crush's bags back for her but unfortunately, Feather Bangs just has to grab it and give it back to her.

I swear, this is so frustrating and that isn't the worst thing. He gives them back to her, makes some cheesy remark that he thinks that will win her over and three other mares sigh acting like he is the best thing in the world. I have a feeling that the town must be growing because those three ditzes weren't there when I was running the show. Hell maybe I should unmark them, no wait, maybe I should unmark the pretty boy and they'll lose their mindless obsession with him.

Now on to attempt number two. Alright girls, let me start by saying this. You have Big Mac dressed up like an idiot. I can not think for the life of me, of anypony who would wear that hideous outfit. Well they tell Big Mac to go wake her up from her mid-day nap by kissing her. If somepony had ever tried that with me, or if they still did, I would unmark them and slug them. Hell I wouldn't even tolerate Trixie pulling shit like that.

Well just as he was about to kiss her, Sugar Belle wakes up and is terrified. Then of course Feather Bangs shows up in some sort of chariot and takes her off into Scootaloo's "metaphorical sunset." Well perhaps that was for the best because had he not shown up, she would have likely smacked Big Mac, never talked to him again and quit ordering apples from the Apple Family.

Big Mac, I have some advice for you. Before you allow the CMC to make you fail for the third time, just tell them that their idiotic ideas won't work. Tell them that Sugar Belle is a REAL PONY and not some dingbat from a fairy tale. Unfortunately he doesn't do that and now he has sneaked into her bakery and breaks into a song. This should be one of those moments that makes me do a facehoof.

This doesn't surprise me. He decides to do a country song but he wouldn't be there for long. In comes pretty colt Feather Bangs and now they are singing to win her heart. I'll be like Celestia here. Thankfully this part is done in song so I don't have to give every single little detail. In the end, they both fail and Sugar Belle gets covered in some goop. I feel sorry for her, all she wants is to have a normal day but thanks to three clueless fillies, a hard working stallion who listens to them and a pretty colt that is impossible for her.

Finally she's had it. She tells them to leave her alone and let her have a normal day. I feel bad for Big Mac, well somewhat. If he wouldn't listen to fillies who read fairy tales he wouldn't be in this mess.

Before we move on to the next part it looks like Party Favor has taken Night Glider out for lunch. I never knew those two had special feelings for one another. I may be becoming soft but I hope something works out for them. Yeah I always thought Party Favor and Sugar Belle would hook up but hey, as long as they're happy, that is all that matters. Now what happened to Double Diamond, I'm not sure. Maybe he is up in the mountains skiing.

Now back to Big Mac. He is looking through Sweetie Belle's dumb book and realizes that none of the shit in there works and let's the girls know it. Suddenly those four finally get it, you're not going to win a pony's love by acting like an idiot, you do it by being nice, being thoughtful and doing something special for them. Now given that Sugar Belle's display case got destroyed during the singing fiasco, Big Mac has an idea, an idea that may just work.

Well now we have Scootaloo in a completely hideous and moronic disguise. Give me a break Scoots, anypony would know it was you and you look like a moron. Naturally Sugar Belle eventually sees through this and gets to her shop where she is greeted by a wonderful surprise, Big Mac has built her a new, larger display case. He remembered her talking about how she was talking about that. Now girls, this is what love is all about, not dumb songs, idiotic outfits and having ponies stealing saddle bags.

I can see it in their eyes, the crush is mutual! Now to see where this leads. Will the writers even keep this as part of the story line in the future or will this just be a one time gimmick to appeal to fan fic writers. I hope they keep this going but I have a bad feeling they won't.

Oh good grief, along comes Feather Bangs hoping he can win her heart but sorry pretty colt, you're too late! Sugar Belle has chosen Big Mac but hey, don't worry. You have three dingbats who seem to be mesmerized by every pathetic pickup line you make. Go see if they'll hook up with you.

I learned that he would but he is afraid to talk to ponies? Apparently that is why he can't get a mare. He is all glitz and glam yet he doesn't have an ounce of substance. Get this, he asks the CMC for help in hooking up with one of them and they agree to! Well with their help, he'll never get a mare. Oh wait, it doesn't take much to impress those three so he may not have any problems getting them. His biggest problem will be picking just one and hurting the other two's feelings and this is where what the animator's could show ends.

Now for what they couldn't show. As soon as the episode ended, I reversed the invisibility spell. I brought bits with me and I was going to buy some treats from Sugar Belle. Well I shocked everypony, especially Big Mac and Sugar Belle. And I did indeed buy some treats from Sugar Belle and I tell you, her treats are tastier than ever. I'm assuming that is because she is getting the highest quality apples in Equestria.

All seemed to be great but I did notice one thing that displeased me, my house was gone! Apparently it gave them too many bad memories so they tore it down and planted a tree where it was. Where would I stay if I was to come out and visit everypony for a couple of days? Well I asked Sugar Belle about this and she said I could stay with her and Night Glider. Good, because I may come out and visit again sometime. Sadly though, I doubt they would be thrilled if I brought Trixie and we did what we always do at night.

Now we all head back to Ponyville and on the way home, Big Mac and I told the girls to NEVER meddle in anypony's love life again. Hopefully it won't be a matter of them giving everypony mindless looks and saying WE DIDN'T LISTEN further on down the road.
