Prologue

O sleepless night... again.

Opening credits

Sunset Shimmer's struggles

Better Than Ever

Differing sneak peek shots

Same shot; but Rainbow Dash isn't seen here.

Same as a shot in the movie, but Pinkie's drumming rhythm is slightly different.

The new girls

Tour aftermath

Differing sneak peek shots

Same as a shot in the movie, but with Applejack frowning instead of smiling.

Battle of the Bands

Enter the Dazzlings.

What in Equestria?

Those new girls can be clearly seen from that table.

Even the Crusaders look interested.

Vat magicks is dis?

More students look oblivious.

What's wrong, Octy? Sirens got your tongue?

Hey, Adagio, Jem called, she wants her hair back.

Strummin' my pain with her fingers...

His guitar got touched...what!?

I guess they've never heard of the concept of "Keep your hands to yourself."

I think she likes you!

Spin, spin, spin.

What's with the glowing effects?

"Here's a chance to find your flame."

"Are you a loser..."

"...or a fighter?"

Something worth pondering over?

"Me and you, you and me Why don't we see who is better?"

"We don't have to be one and the same thing." (irony)

"Oh what's so wrong with a little competition?"

Hmm?

"Are you afraid of failing the audition?"

Hope none of you shippers are getting any ideas.

"Yeah, you rise above the rest"

Big deal, the Mane Six can stand on tables without anyone lifting them.

"It doesn't matter who you hurt"

"If you're just proving you're..."

"...the best!" (Wow, that girl's got a flexible spine!)

"Battle!"

You want to win it!

"Let's have a battle!"

"Battle of the Bands"

"Let's have a battle!"

Aria seems to be causing a rift between the Crusaders and Snips and Snails.

"Let's have a battle"

"Battle"

"Battle"

"Battle of the Bands!"

"I can beat you!"

Battle!

"Ha! You wish!"

Battle!

"I so want this!"

Battle!

"Not if I get it first!"

"You and me, me and you Why don't we see who is better?"

Insert Vishnu joke here.

Flash Drive vs. the Eco-Kids.

The Great and Powerful Trixie is always up for some competition.

Snips agitated.

First time Octy is seen singing.

Now we've got both of her versions singing! Not a solo maybe, but none the less.

Oh, my...!

Déjà vu, Sunset?

"Let's have a battle..."

"Battle..."

"Battle..."

"Battle of the Bands!"

What exactly is going on here?

"Oh, they're that kind of off!"

Differing sneak peek shots

A shot of the girls conversing that did not end up in the final film.

Very subtle difference. In this shot, Aria is looking ahead, but in the film, she peers down at the students for a brief second.

Different colored flame than the one used in the film.

In the film, this shot was replaced by two different shots.

Same as a shot in the movie, but the two male students in the foreground are slightly closer to the screen.

Writing a message to Twilight

What do you suppose Photo and Trixie are discussing?

Skippity-skippity-skip!

"How else could you explain what happened back there?"

Well, Sunset, how do you explain your missing cutie mark?

"Last thing she needs is another CHS event almost ruined by some power-crazed lunatic."

"Er, no offense."

"None taken."

Shifty Celestia.

"Dark magic? I find that very hard to believe."

"Those girls came into my office earlier and were absolutely delightful."

"Perhaps Sunset Shimmer is just eager to make someone else out to be a bad element, so that her actions at the Fall Formal will become old news."

"They still haven't forgiven me yet. I could see why you might think that, but--"

"That's not what's happening! We saw all of this go down in the cafeteria too!"

"Yes, but isn't your band supposed to be part of the Musical Showcase?"

"Yes."

"Perhaps you're all just worried that the Dazzlings will steal your spotlight.

"The Dazzlings?"

"It's the name of their musical group. That's why they came by my office earlier today – to sign up for the Showcase."

"Even sang a little song to Vice Principal Luna and I."

"They did?"

Looks as if Celestia and Luna are also under the spell.

Oh no.

Our old friend, the statue.

"I can't believe they got to Principal Celestia..."

"...and Vice Principal Luna, too."

"They've gotten to everybody!"

"Not everybody!"

Same old Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie Pie's right."

"We were there when the Dazzlings were singin'..."

"...and we weren't affected."

"It was like we were protected somehow."

"So let's take them down! It's not like we haven't tangled with dark magic before..."

"...and totally whooped its sorry butt!"

"Uh, no offense."

"None taken... again."

Ladybug, ladybug, Fly away home. Your house is on fire, Your children are gone. (Why doesn't that last part ever rhyme or make sense?)

"There may be some kind of magic inside us, but it only comes out when we play music."

"I sure don't know how to use it to... whoop anybody's butt"

"If only we could get a message to Twilight."

"Maybe she could tell us how to break the spell..."

"...the Dazzlings have cast on our friends."

"Well, that's not gonna happen."

"The portal's closed."

Heads up!

Rarity, always the drama queen.

"And I get the feeling they don't exactly have cell phones where she's from."

Hmmmm....

Thinking, thinking, thinking...

[light bulb ding]

"I may have an idea..."

"...how we can get in touch with Princess Twilight!"

Rummaging through her stuff. (What is Pinkie looking at?)

"When I was Princess Celestia's student back in Equestria, she gave me this."

What is that book?

"Even after I abandoned my studies, I held on to it."

"Deep down, I guess I knew I was making a big mistake..."

"...and I wanted to still have a way to reach out to her."

"Maybe it still works."

"That's a book, darling. What do you mean, 'maybe still works'?"

"It used to be that if I wrote something here, it would appear in the pages of a book in Princess Celestia's library."

"I get a message to her, then she could get a message to Princess Twilight."

"So what are you waiting for? Get to writing!"

I'll even let you use my lucky pen, gal pal!

Thanks, Rainbow... I suppose.

"Been a long time since I've written these words."

"Dear Princess Celestia..."

Meanwhile, back in Equestria...

A beautiful day in Ponyville. Home to Princess Twilight and her friends.

There goes our little muffin queen's pony counterpart (isn't she cute?).

Let's see what our favorite six ponies are up to at Twilight's new castle.

Rarity's emblem is glowing... What does it mean? (Answer: The six ponies would later sit at their throne emblems and discover the Cutie Map in episode 92 of Friendship is Magic.)

AJ and Flutters pushing a box. May it contain the mirror? Also, Spike is reading Rainbow Dash's favorite book, Daring Do.

Of course, one simply must not be too clean.

What's wrong, Rarity? Pinkie blowing up a balloon should be nothing new to you.

"Excuse me, Princess."

"Where do you want all these books?"

"The library."

Pinkie, pretty sure your throne has three balloons on it, not apples.

"Even this one that's glowin' and vibratin'?"

They may not have cell phones in Equestria, but books seem to somehow act like them.

What do you mean by "glowing and vibrating"?

"What is it, Twilight?"

"It looks like a message to Princess Celestia..."

"...from my friends at Canterlot High."

"How is that even possible?"

"I have no idea, but..."

"...it sounds like they need my help."

That book is about Equestrian's myths and Pony Tales. That's the same storybook seen in the beginning of episode 1 and the second act of episode 90

"The way Sunset Shimmer described them..."

"... I think these new girls sound an awful lot like... the sirens."

"Not the sirens!!!"

"I don't actually know what that is!" Typical Pinkie.

The sirens were three beautiful..."

"...but dangerous creatures..."

"... who had the power to charm ponies with their music."

" But to maintain this power..."

"... they had to feed on the negativity and distrust of others."

"The more of this negative energy they consumed, the stronger their voices became..."

"...and the farther they could spread their dark magic."

"I don't think I like this story very much."

"If the sirens had their way, they would have divided and conquered all of Equestria."

"But a certain Star Swirl the Bearded wasn't having it."

"Rumor has it he found a way to banish them to another world – one where he believed their magic power would be lost"

"That world must have been the one where my Canterlot High friends live."

"But Star Swirl must have sent them there ages ago. How come they're just surfacin' now?"

"I don't know. But if my hunch is right..."

"...and it is the sirens who have come to Canterlot High, this spell they've cast is just the beginning."

"My friends need me. I have to get back to them."

"I hate to burst your bubble, Twilight..."

"...but the connection between their world and Equestria..."

"...will still be totally cut off for a super long time."

"Okay, first of all, if there was bubble-blowing going on..."

"...why wasn't I told about it?!"

"And secondly, if the connection is totally cut off..."

"...how was Sunset Shimmer able to get a message to Twilight?"

Oh, my Celestia! The pink pony has a point!

"Pinkie Pie, you're a genius!"

"Yeah, I get that a lot."

"Now about those bubbles..."

Twilight's preparing to gather things.

Whoa, since when did Twilight make something this technologically advanced since that crazy contraption from episode 15 of Friendship is Magic?

"...and the interval between the two points is defined as the square root of the sum of the squares of the separation between the points along three spatial dimensions."

[cricket chirping]

"Duh!"

"She's gonna take the magic in here..."

"...and put it in there."

"That'll make the portal open up so that whenever she wants to..."

"..she can go from here..."

"...to there!"

"There..."

"to here!"

"Here"

"There"

"Here"

"There"

Ad infinitum.

"We get the idea."

Okie-dokie-lokie.

"Now to see if actually works."

"Oooooooh..."

Is that magic or taffy?

Wait for it.

Ta-da!

"Ahhhhh..."

"Don't suppose we could join you this time around?"

"Better not."

"It could make things pretty confusing if Canterlot High all of a sudden had two of all of you."

Makes sense, preventing paradoxes and whatnot.

"But I still get to go, right?

"There isn't another one of me at Canterlot High. And you never know if you might need your trusty assistant."

"Mm-hmm."

"Yes!"

Happy trails!

"Squee!"

"On your mark…"

"Get set…"

There they go again.

Through the mirror again

Trying to pass the time.

Can't read my, can't read my, no, you can't read-a my poker face.

Read 'em and weep.

Hmmm...

No, you read 'em and laugh!

Go fish! We're playing Gin Rummy!

Tick...tock...tick...tock...

"I'm starting to think she's not coming."

Looks like we got the gang back together!

"TWILIGHT!"

Not exactly as smooth a landing as the last time.

"I'm back."

Here, let me help you.

I don't know. You're not gonna give me yet another evil monologue, are you?

Oh, all right.

Group hug is best hug.

"And I've got some bad news about those new girls."

Catching up

"Oh, I do hate that you had to return at a time of crisis."

"There's so much catching up to do!"

"For starters, a certain blue-haired guitar player was just askin' about you."

"Flash Sentry was asking about me?!"

"Ahem. Isn't that nice?"

"Perhaps you would give us just the slightest bit of gossip from your world?"

"She's got an official title now."

"Doo-doo-doo-doo!"

"The Princess of Friendship!"

"Wow, that's really impressive."

"Guess you really were Princess Celestia's prized pupil."

"She's even got her own castle."

"A castle?! You have your own castle?!"

"Eh..ahem..."

"Ooh, lovely."

"What's new here?"

"I mean, besides your school becoming the target of dangerous magical creatures from Equestria?"

"Yeah, so, that isn't exactly the only strange thing that's happened since you left."

Shorts reference #1.

Shorts reference #2.

Whoa. I'd sell my wings to get one of these visual communicators back in Equestria.

Pretty sweet, huh? It happens to all of us when we play."

"Hmm. My crown was returned to Equestria, but some of its magic must have remained here at Canterlot High."

"Now that we're all back together, we can use that magic on the sirens."

"Just like when we were able to use it on Sunset Shimmer when she turned into that horrifyingly awful winged monster!"

"No offense."

"None taken."

"Heh. I'm used to it."

"They'll never even know what hit 'em!"

HADOUKEN!

"We've got nothin' to worry about now that Twilight's back."

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I could find something to worry about."

"But it won't be the sirens."

"The sooner we do this, the better."

"Any idea where the Dazzlings might be?"

Ooh! Ooh! I know! I know! Just gimme a sec.

How can Pinkie swallow that without getting an ice cream headache?

I drink your milkshake.

"There's a big party tonight for all the bands who signed up to be in the showcase! That would include the Dazzlings."

"Looks like we've got a party to crash!"

"Squee!"

Friendship is magic?

Twilight!?

Eh, Bumped. Into always doing it.

So mature Spot!

More than you.

Do not.

Do too.

There isn't going to be the Battle of the Bands.

Alright girls!

Let's do this.

What? It did not happen.

This is so humiliating!

You uh really need to go ahead and do that whole Magic of Friendship thing now.

I'm trying Spike, I thought the 6 of us standing together against the Sirens would bring out the magic we needed to defeat them that what happened before.

This group is obviously serious about winning a little cocky though aren't they.

Claiming there won't really be a battle seems they think they already got this thing all locked up.

Not if the Great and Powerful Trixie has anything to do with it.

Whatever, Trixie we are the best bands in CHS.

No the Crusaders are gonna win!

I think we may have found what we're looking for or rather it found us.

What!?

Magic, don't you see?

Everyone else has fallen under our spell.

But not these girls.

These girls are so special.

There are no strings on us.

The Rainbooms' newest member

I should have been able to create the spark that would help us break their spell.

But to defeat me, you drew magic from the crown I was wearing.

So maybe you have to use the same kind of magic to defeat them.

No, I think you're onto something!

It's when you play music that you transform now right?

Yup Ears, Tails, The whole shebang.

So maybe the way to use that magic to defeat the sirens is by playing a musical counter spell.

The band competition!

That's the next time we can be certain everyone will be in the same place at the same time.

Guess the Rainbooms are the band to beat.

Just became the Rainbooms newest member.

Triangle!

Sousaphone!

Theremin!

I might take a little too long to learn how to play something with these.

Like as in lead singer

Cuz that's usually my gig. This being my band and all.

and of course as lead singer

She's the one with the magical know-how to help us pull this thing up.

Okay, yeah that's cool.

I'll just use this as a chance to hone in.

My already insanely good lead guitar skills.

And we don't have to win the Battle of the Bands.

We just have to perform during the first round of the competition.

Well, that just it. I don't know any.

But I'm sure I could figure out how to write one!

Totally, Twilight can write a spell like it's nobody's business.

That's pretty much how she got to become a "princess in Equestria."

"And there was a little more to it than that, Spike."

"Well, last time we were here, Spike and I spent the night in the library."

Slumber party

Ah, I just love perfect-- Wait? What the?!

Spike, you ruined our selfie!

"I doubt it."

"So, Twilight, how is that counter-spell coming?"

Huh? Oh, uh, good, great.

...Fluttershy. I really like the song you wrote for the Rainbooms. Hey, look! It's a Gummy plush!

"Thanks."

[sighs sadly] "Hopefully, one day, we'll get a chance to play it."

[Rainbow laughing] Applejack: "Hey!"

"Twilight..."

...I think I speak for all of us when I say..."

"...I don't know what we would have done if you hadn't come back to..."

"...help us."

"Uh-huh!"

Midnight snack

[girls snoring]

Can't sleep.

"I'm a ninja, I'm a pajama ninja..."

Still not used to walking on two legs, eh, Twily?

I can get better hoofwriting if I write this way.

"No! That's not gonna work."

Sunset: "Hey, Twilight."

Busted!

"You're up late."

Poor Twilight doesn't want to disappoint her former enemy and newest friend.

"Just looking over the counter-spell."

"We only get one shot at this. It has to be perfect."

"We really are lucky you're here."

"That's what everyone keeps telling me."

"Who could possibly need this much..."

"...whipped cream?" Pinkie Pie! Who else?

"Must be nice to have everyone always..."

"...looking to you for answers to their problems..."

"...instead of waiting for you to cause a problem."

"Just because everyone expects something from you..."

"...doesn't mean it's guaranteed to happen."

"But that doesn't stop them from expecting it."

"Which only makes things harder because the last thing you want to do is..."

Both girls: "...let everybody down."

Kindred spirits.

A wild Maud appears.

WAAAAH!

"Boulder was hungry."

Just feedin' my pet rock.

Whoa....okay, THAT was creepy.

Sleep tight, friends of my little sister.

"I still can't get over the fact that she's related to Pinkie Pie."

"You and me both."

"I better get some sleep. Good luck with the counter-spell. Not that you'll need it."

"This must be nothing compared with the stuff you're expected to deal with as a princess in Equestria."

"Sunset Shimmer?"

"I... forgive... you... for what... happened between... us in the... first movie and... I want you to be... my... friend".

"Never mind. It's not important."

"Sweet dreams, BFF."

"No."

"I have to be able to do this. I have to."

Rehearsal at Sweet Apple Acres/Bad Counter Spell

"Hey, hey, listen"

"We've got a message for you"

"We're not all alike"

"But our friendship is true"

"Yeah, we're really different"

"But we still get along"

Oh, that sound could wake the dead!

Cringeworthy? We believe so.

No pony ears?

Why should I keep drumming to this poorly written song?

You'll keep playing or you won't get any cupcakes!

Fine, but only because cupcakes were promised.

Granny Smith may be going deaf, but at least now she'd rather be completely deaf.

"The power of our song"

"Gonna stomp our feet, clap our hands"

"With the magic of friendship"

Dern it.

"Uh, that sounded way better than the last...five times you've played it. Heh heh."

"Nnope."

"I think it's pretty obvious what's going wrong with this counter-spell."

"You're turnin' what should be the chorus into a five-minute guitar solo?"

"I have to pick up the slack somehow! Are you guys even trying?!"

"I'm trying."

"It's fine. It'll be fine."

"One more time from the top!"

"Or, perhaps we could take a short break..."

"...try on some of the wardrobe choices I've put together? I'm particularly fond of this one."

What is this, Sgt. Rarity's Lovely Diamonds Club Band?

"Eh, of course we could always go with something a bit more modern."

"We're tryin' to save our school here."

"Enough with the costumes!"

Don't be daft, darling!

"She just wants to make things fun! Isn't that what being in a band supposed to be?"

Not sure that line even deserved a "ba-dum-tss", Pinkie.

"You don't have time for any of this! You're supposed to check in at the Battle of the Bands in fifteen minutes!"

"What? But it's not ready!"

"If we play our counter-spell in the first round and it doesn't work..."

"the sirens will know what we're up to and make sure we don't get a chance to play it again!"

"Then we'll have to buy ourselves some time so you can keep workin' on it!"

"But how do you propose we do that?"

"We compete in the Battle of the Bands for real! I take over lead vocals again and we stay alive until the finals!"

"We unleash the counter-spell then."

"You'll have figured it out by finals, right?"

"Of course she will. Twilight Sparkle's never met a problem she couldn't solve. Right, Twilight?"

"Right..."

"Let's go win us a Battle of the Bands".

Everything's going to be just fine! (I think)

Battle of the Bands: Round 1

"Welcome to the first ever Canterlot High School Battle of the Bands!" (If you look to the left of the screen, you can see Bulk Biceps.)

"I believe I speak for everyone when I say it is by far the greatest thing we have ever done here at this school!"

"We are so glad our three newest students encouraged us to turn this event into something exciting!"

"You feel that, girls? Our true power is being restored."

"But the Rainblossoms, or whatever they're called, aren't under our spell."

"The Rainbooms are just as capable of falling apart as anyone else."

"I have a feeling everyone here..."

"is going to be lining up to give them a shove."

"Aw, yeah! Snips and Snails indahouse, yo!"

"They call me MC Snips and that ain't no lie!"

"My favorite food is like pumpkin pie!"

"I'm DJ Snazzy Snails, I like whales!"

"When I go to the beach, I always bring my pail!"

Everybody knows my favorite color is orange"

"My rhymes are so fly, you better..."

Uh...borange? Corange? Dorange? Are those even words?

"Than an orange, yo!"

"Yeah!"

"We out!"

"Um, that was pretty good, boys, but next time, please do not drop the microphones."

"In your face, Rainbooms!"

"Least we know one group who won't stand in the way of us gettin' to the finals."

"Wait! Where's Rarity?"

"Oh! Here! I'm here!"

We will be performing in front of an audience."

"I'm not going to wear something fabulous? Hmph."

"Guh..." (Notice Twilight is the only one who doesn't give an eyeroll like the others.)

Shake Your Tail!

Look at the Cutie Mark Crusaders' costumes...they must be the Show Stoppers (like in episode 18 of Friendship is Magic).

"Remember, we have to be good enough to make it through"

"but not so good we let the sirens see the magic within us."

"They could realize we plan to use it against them."

"Got it! Be cool enough to win, but not so cool that we end up showing off the whole ears and tails and rainbows thing."

"Sooo... about 20% less cool."

"One two!"

(See the animated short page for the full song).

"Boring."

Looks like human Pinkie Pie finally got her own party cannon!

Oh, no. It's episode 79 of FiM all over again.

"Ruined! Absolutely ruined!"

"Rarity, were you tryin' to make us lose out there?!"

"Wh- Oh! This was not my fault!"

"This was an act of sabotage!"

"Yeah, well, whoever did this couldn't have done this"

"if you didn't insist on dressin' like... like... this!"

Spike, I have a feeling we're not in Equestria anymore.

"And what was with the confetti, Pinkie Pie? How am I supposed to shred if there's paper stuck in my frets?!"

"It was pretty distracting."

"Ugh! Says the girl who was running from a light the whole time!"

"A light!"

"You still sounded much better than most of the other bands. I'm sure you'll make it to the next round."

"But it won't matter if you don't have that counter-spell ready."

" You all find a place to practice where the sirens can't hear you."

"I'll keep an eye on things around here."

Derpy Time!

Differing trailer shots

Same as a shot in the movie, but slightly zoomed out.

Tears already

"I don't think we should use a classroom."

"We really need to stop bumping into each other like this."

"You guys hear something?"

Hear what? It's just the wind.

"I said, 'WE REALLY NEED TO STOP--'"

"There it is again!"

"So annoying."

"Why are you acting like this?

"I thought we were friends."

I don't care!

You see my face, your life is done!

"I want this, Twilight"

"...and you're trying to take it away from me."

"That's not why..."

"Come on, Twilight."

"We've got things to do."

"You really think you're gonna help them?"

"I bet you have no idea what you're even doing!"

Poor Twilight.

"Tears already? This is only the first round."

"The next band to take the stage will be Trixie and the Illusions."

"Better head back. We're supposed to go on after Trixie."

Halt. Look who it is, sisters.

"You're never gonna get away with this." You tell those soulless jerks off good and hard, Sunset!

"Why? Because you didn't?"

"Oh, we know all about you, Sunset Shimmer. You've got quite the reputation at Canterlot High.

"I've changed! I'm in a much better place now!"

"Waiting in the wings while your "friends" have all the fun?"

Anyone else getting dizzy watching these two circle Sunset?

"Oh, yes, you girls are so tight. And yet... they didn't ask you to be in the band."

"Probably afraid no one would want to see them play if she was in the group."

"Too bad!"

"So sad!"

"No one is going to remember you at all by the time we're done."

"All that's left for you is despair and regret."

"Because you're nothing. A nobody. A rebel scum."

I... think I'm gonna cry.

Under Our Spell/Battle montage

"Remember, girls..."

"...we want to save the good stuff..."

"for when our full power has been restored."

It's showtime!

"Oh whoa oh, oh-whoa-oh"

"Now that you're..."

"...under our..."

"...spell"

"Blindsided by the beat Clapping your hands stomping your feet"

"You didn't know that you fell"

"Oh whoa oh whoa oh..."

"Now you've fallen under our spell"

"Fallen under our spell" is an understatement. These ladies are practically swooning.

Bulk Biceps vs. MC Snips and DJ Snazzy Snails

Tiny fiddle vs. terrible rhyming...

Fiddle wins!

Snips and Snails are out; Bulk Biceps advances to Round 2!

Flash Drive vs. the Eco-Kids

What is it that Flash has against those hippies?

And the Eco-Kids are outta here!

Must! Write! Counter-Spell! Before! It's! Too! Late!

"Listen to the sound of my voice"

"Oh whoa"

"Oh whoa oh"

"Soon you'll find you don't have a choice"

"Captured in the web of my song..."

"Soon you'll all be singing along!"

It's bass vs. cello!

Oh, come on, Rainbow. Octavia couldn't have been that bad...could she?

Ebony and ivory.

Close friends singing a duet.

The Great and Powerful Trixie is unimpressed by your Ship Tease, Hasbro!

What happened to your $12,000 double-necked guitar, Trix?

Oh, so that's how Trixie moves a grand piano without wheels!

The Illusions are into the semifinals!

The Rainbooms are falling apart...

...and Twilight knows she's running out of time.

Looks like the Crusaders are singing their theme song.

Cutie Mark Crusader Rock Gods! Yaaay!

Sunset knows how this story goes...and she doesn't like the ending.

Lemme at 'im, lemme at 'im, LEMME AT 'IM!!!

Is this really the best time to cop a feel of Adagio's hair, Aria?

This movie has gone a lot more epic.

(Maniacal laughter)

Differing sneak peek shots

Same as a shot in the movie, but without the red background within the white circle.

Same as a shot in the movie, but with less green fog.

The semifinals/Awesome As I Wanna Be

"This is it! Last round and you're in the finals!"

"Unless you think the counter-spell is ready to be played now."

"Don't worry, Twilight. Finals aren't until tonight."

"We'll get in a little more practice before we're supposed to hit the stage."

"We won't let you down!"

"Um, I was just wondering. We haven't played any of my songs yet, and..."

"It's the semifinals. We gotta do 'Awesome As I Wanna Be'."

"Hmph. You're never gonna top that performance, 'Rain-goons'."

"You shouldn't be allowed to when you have such a big advantage over the rest of us."

"My superior guitar playing and off-the-charts awesome singing voice?"

"Oh, don't be ridiculous."

"I mean her!"

"If you were really all that, Rainbow Dash, you wouldn't have needed to bring in some magical ringer to have half a chance."

"Ha! Puh-leeze! I could win this thing as a solo act..."

"and everybody knows it!"

"There she is."

"Next up, the Rainbooms."

"I'll be here... just... watching."

"First you see me..."

"...ridin' on a sonic boom"

"Got my guitar shreddin' up the latest tune"

"There is nothing you can do..."

"...to beat me"

"I'm so good that..."

"...you can't defeat me"

"Yeah, I'm awesome!"

"Watch out for me..."

"I'm awesome as I wanna be"

"Now that's the bad girl we love to hate!"

" No. It isn't like that."

Well, that went better than we hoped.

End of the semifinals

"What was that?!"

"You were showing them your magic. I-I didn't know what else to do."

"Ugh. Close the curtains? Unplug her amp? Give us a chance to deal with the situation?"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to help."

"Yeah, well, you didn't!"

"None of this would've happened if you weren't tryin' to show off – as usual."

"Good show, Rainbrooms!"

"I especially liked the part where Sunset Shimmer..."

"...in a fit of jealous rage, knocked out Rainbow Dash mid-guitar solo!"

"It wasn't a fit of jealous rage!"

"If you say so."

"Ooh!"

"Looks like they've already decided who'll be moving on to the finals!"

"I'm guessing it wasn't too difficult a decision."

"Huh?"

"What can we do? There isn't gonna be another opportunity for us to play."

"And I had the most gorgeous outfit for the finals!""

"Yup, 'cause that's the real tragedy here, Rarity – that you won't get to play dress-up!"

"You know perfectly well that is not what I meant!"

"You guys wanna keep it down? They're about to announce who's moving on."

"Who are you kidding?"

"You know it isn't gonna be us."

"The band that will be joining the Dazzlings in tonight's finals..."

"The Rainbooms."

"WHAT?!"

"Huh?"

"Did they just say, 'the Rainbooms'?!"

"This isn't over!" (Gotta love that Groucho walk.)

"Congratulations, girls. You deserve it."

"Seriously?! We didn't even finish our—!"

Be quiet!

"See you at tonight's big show, Rainbooms."

"We are really looking forward to it."

"Yeah, well... not as much as we are!"

"Zis never should haf been you, Rainbooms!"

"This is a travesty!"

"A travesty!"

"It really is!"

"The Rainbooms don't deserve to be in the finals."

"Not when your band was so much better in the semis.

"And wanted it so much more."

"Alas, this is the way it's going to be. Dazzlings vs. Rainbooms."

"Unless, of course, the Rainbooms don't manage to make it to their set..."

"...or held up for some reason."

Uh oh.

Getting trapped

"Check, one, two. Testing, testing..."

"Testing...!"

Ooh, too loud!

Oops. My mistake.

Sorry about that.

"This doesn't make any sense."

"We were awful."

"Doesn't anybody else think it's strange that we're the ones that made it to the finals?"

"Very strange."

"What are you doing here, Trixie?"

"Pretty sure the losers are supposed to be up there in the cheap seats."

"The Great and Powerful Trixie is the most talented girl at Canterlot High."

"It is I who deserves to be in the finals. And I will not..."

"[snaps fingers]"

"...be denied!"

Knick knack, paddy whack, give a dog a bone.

AJ is flat on her face. Pinkie be like "Hey, who turned out the lights?"

(More maniacal laughter)

This lil' doggy's gonna roll on home!

"See you never!"

"Told you someone would give them a shove."

"She didn't shove them. She pulled a lever."

"Go back to sleep, Sonata."

The Rainbooms' Argument

"Give it up, Rainbow Dash."

"You've been tryin' at this for hours. It's not gonna open."

"Maybe it doesn't even matter that we're trapped down here."

"I don't think the counter-spell would have worked anyway."

Of course it would have worked, Twilight."

"Assumin' a certain band member didn't try to hog the spotlight the whole time we were tryin' to play it!"

"If you wanna tell Twilight she's getting a little too caught up trying to be the new leader of this band, you don't have to be all cryptic about it."

"She was talking about you, Rainbow Dash!"

"Me?!"

"I'm just trying to make sure my band rocks as hard as it needs to!"

"OUR BAND!!!"

"But why wasn't it working? I should know what to do. How could I not know what to do? How could I have failed like this?"

"It might've been your idea to start a band..."

"but it's not just your band, Rainbow Dash!"

"I'm the one who writes all the songs!"

"I write songs!"

"You just never let us play any of them!"

"I had the most perfect outfits for us to wear!"

"Again with the costumes!"

"No one cares what we're wearin'!"

"I care, Applejack! So sorry if I enjoy trying to make a creative contribution to the band!"

"Hey! Anybody here remember fun?!"

"I'll give you a hint: It's the exact opposite of being in the Rainbooms!"

"I wish I never asked any of you to be in my band!"

"I WISH I'D NEVER AGREED TO BE IN IT!!!!"

"Me neither!"

The Dazzlings start their performance

Trixie simply cannot finish the song without a little flair.

"Try to top that!"

"Oh, I don't know if we can!"

It's time.

Sunset's epiphany

"Stop! You have to stop!"

"This is what they've been after all along!"

"They're feeding off of the magic inside you!"

"How can they be using our magic? It's the magic of friendship."

"Ever since you started this band, you've been letting little things get to you."

"I never said anything 'cause I didn't feel like it was my place."

"Not when I'm so new to this whole "friendship" thing."

"I still have a lot to learn..."

"...but I do know that if you don't work out even the smallest problems right at the start..."

...the magic of friendship can be turned into something else."

"I can't believe all this tension was happening right under my nose and I didn't realize it."

"I'm supposed to be the one with all the answers. And all I've done since I got here is let you down."

"I don't think anyone is supposed to have all the answers..."

"...but you can count on your..."

"...friends to help you find them." Looks like Sunset Shimmer's learned more about friendship than she thinks.

"I think you already have."

"C'mon! We need to get out of here!"

"Spike!"

"Sorry I took so long. I had to find somebody who wasn't under the sirens' spell to help me get you out."

"Why isn't she under their spell?"

"Never takes off her headphones."

"Come on, y'all! Time to prove we've still got the Magic of Friendship inside us!"

"And there's only one way to do it!"

"We're getting the band back together?"

"We're getting our band back together!"

"Whee!"

"Ooh, which version of the counter-spell are we going to play?"

"I don't think it matters what song we play..."

"...as long as we play it together..."

"... as friends."

"I know just the song."

"Fluttershy's written a really great one."

"We're about to save the world here."

"Personally, I think we should do it in style."

"Rarity?"

"I thought you'd never ask!"

Why is there someone who brings fruits and vegetables to a concert?

Adagio: "Sisters, let's get out of here! We're coming back for you one day, Sunset Shimmer!"

"Guess that explains why these..."

"...were so special to them."

"Without those pendants and the magic you brought here from Equestria, they're just..."

"...three harmless teenage girls."

Flash: "Rainbooms rule!"

"That was amazing!"

[giggling]

"What are you waiting for? Kiss him already!", shouted all the little girls in the theater.

"You may have vanquished the Dazzlings...

"...but you will never have the amazing show-stopping ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie!!!"

Now you see her...

...and now you don't... again.

"She's gone!"

"Oh, wait..."

"...there she is."

"You know, Twilight is going back to Equestria soon."

"The Rainbooms could really use someone..."

Well she had to learn something after dating Flash.

Rock on!

"I also play guitar."

What? How? What?

When even Rainbow is speechless about your guitar-playing, you know how much you rocked.

"We'll see."

"I love you, girls."

"We love you too, Sunset."

For your consideration: My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Best Animated Feature.

Twilight says goodbye "'til next time"

"Sure wish you could stay longer."

"Me too. But I have responsibilities in Equestria that I have to get back to."

"Ooh!"

"But now I can go through the portal whenever I need to."

This isn't goodbye."

"It's just goodbye 'til next time." (Threequel tease perhaps?)

"Ready?"

"Ready!"

Ending credits/Shine Like Rainbows

"Dear Princess Twilight, missing you already, and I hope you'll be back soon."

Things are definitely looking up for me here at Canterlot High, but I know I still have a lot to learn about friendship."

"Hope you don't mind if I write to you for advice when I need it. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer."

Rainbow: "You ready or what?"

"Ready!"

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

"Four!"

Epilogue

Still a sound wave?

No it's a seismograph.

Who's purple hand could that be?

Why, it's the REAL Human Twilight! (Not a brainwashed Equestria's Twilight Sparkle.)

"No doubt about it, Spike. There's definitely something strange going on at that school."
