[CHEERS]
188
00:09:27,099 --> 00:09:30,970
Rarity was right.
I don't believe it.
189
00:09:31,003 --> 00:09:35,841
Oh, my shining star! Thanks
to the sparkling costumes,
190
00:09:35,874 --> 00:09:38,944
dazzling choreography, and
brilliant vocal effects
191
00:09:38,977 --> 00:09:40,813
that I designed,
192
00:09:40,846 --> 00:09:43,682
your performance
was SPECTACULAR,
193
00:09:43,715 --> 00:09:45,384
Countess Coloratura!
194
00:09:45,417 --> 00:09:48,787
Oh, thank you, Svengallop!
195
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:50,189
Correct me if
I'm wrong here,
196
00:09:50,222 --> 00:09:53,058
but that feller isn't
actually complimentin' Rara.
197
00:09:53,091 --> 00:09:55,294
He's complimentin' all the bells
and whistles he's piled on
198
00:09:55,327 --> 00:09:57,930
to make her Countess Coloratura.
199
00:09:57,963 --> 00:10:00,366
Oh, no, no, no, no! You
don't understand, Applejack.
200
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:03,202
Creating all those
elements is a lot of work
201
00:10:03,235 --> 00:10:05,070
and Countess
Coloratura's performance
202
00:10:05,103 --> 00:10:07,006
wouldn't exist without them.
203
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:10,042
If you ask me, that wouldn't
necessarily be a bad thing.
204
00:10:11,109 --> 00:10:12,945
Oh, if we're all done here,
205
00:10:12,978 --> 00:10:16,281
I'd love to go back to my
trailer and rest, Svengallop.
206
00:10:16,314 --> 00:10:17,983
Actually, right now
you're scheduled
207
00:10:18,016 --> 00:10:20,819
for your Meet and Greet
with the school ponies!
208
00:10:20,852 --> 00:10:24,323
I can totally get
you out of meeting
209
00:10:24,356 --> 00:10:26,392
with the school
ponies, Countess.
210
00:10:27,826 --> 00:10:30,729
Absolutely not! My
favorite part of any event
211
00:10:30,762 --> 00:10:32,931
is meeting with
the school ponies!
212
00:10:32,964 --> 00:10:35,868
The school ponies'll be so
happy to hear that, Rara.
213
00:10:40,972 --> 00:10:42,408
Ponyville School Ponies!
214
00:10:42,441 --> 00:10:44,777
As part of the Helping
Hooves Music Festival,
215
00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:47,980
I'm holding a contest where
some of you will get a chance
216
00:10:48,013 --> 00:10:51,917
to sing with me on stage at the
concert tomorrow! Sound fun?
217
00:10:51,950 --> 00:10:54,920
[cheers]
218
00:10:54,953 --> 00:10:58,223
All right! Now who
wants more Hoovsies?
219
00:10:58,256 --> 00:10:59,458
[cheers]
220
00:10:59,491 --> 00:11:02,161
Now, that's more like
the Rara I remember.
221
00:11:02,194 --> 00:11:05,030
Pinkie: But I got
everything you requested.
222
00:11:05,063 --> 00:11:07,399
That was for
Countess Coloratura.
223
00:11:07,432 --> 00:11:12,438
This is for me. And what
I want is premium oats.
224
00:11:12,471 --> 00:11:16,375
Oh, well, we have lots of tasty
oats right here in Ponyville.
225
00:11:16,408 --> 00:11:19,278
I would not feed
those to a chicken!
226
00:11:19,311 --> 00:11:23,182
I want top-of-the-line,
Appaloosan Oats.
227
00:11:23,215 --> 00:11:27,352
Next. It appears that we are
surrounded by apple trees.
228
00:11:27,385 --> 00:11:30,489
Bring me 500 pre-peeled,
pre-cored apples.
229
00:11:30,522 --> 00:11:33,726
And I want those
things in 24 hours!
230
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:35,861
But that's impossible!
231
00:11:35,894 --> 00:11:38,330
Do you want me to pull
Countess Coloratura
232
00:11:38,363 --> 00:11:45,170
from your little podunk
charity show? Because I will.
233
00:11:45,203 --> 00:11:49,208
Applejack! Svengallop just
made all of these new demands
234
00:11:49,241 --> 00:11:51,043
I heard, Pinkie.
But don't you fret.
235
00:11:51,076 --> 00:11:53,345
I'll talk to Rara and
fix things right up.
236
00:11:56,281 --> 00:11:58,217
Did you see, sis? Did you see?
237
00:11:58,250 --> 00:12:01,153
Is this the little sister
you wrote to me about, AJ?
238
00:12:01,186 --> 00:12:07,226
Hold on, Applejack! You wrote to
Countess Coloratura...about me?
239
00:12:07,259 --> 00:12:11,130
AJ said you were the best little
sister ever, Apple Bloom.
240
00:12:14,566 --> 00:12:17,436
All right now, you best
git along, little ponies.
241
00:12:20,138 --> 00:12:21,807
[laughter]
242
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,511
Hey, Rara, you mind if I talk
to you about your manager?
243
00:12:25,544 --> 00:12:27,146
Sure, what about him?
244
00:12:27,179 --> 00:12:30,215
Well, while you were meetin'
with the school ponies,
245
00:12:30,248 --> 00:12:33,385
he was demandin' all sorts
of stuff from Pinkie Pie.
246
00:12:33,418 --> 00:12:36,088
Svengallop works very
hard as my manager, AJ.
247
00:12:36,121 --> 00:12:39,191
So if he needs some things
when we're on the road,
248
00:12:39,224 --> 00:12:41,093
I don't see anything
wrong with that.
249
00:12:41,126 --> 00:12:43,462
Well, do you see something
wrong with him telling Pinkie
250
00:12:43,495 --> 00:12:46,031
that if she doesn't get
those things by tomorrow,
251
00:12:46,064 --> 00:12:48,233
he'd pull you from
our charity festival?
252
00:12:48,266 --> 00:12:51,436
What? But...he knows how
important charity is to me
253
00:12:51,469 --> 00:12:54,339
and leaving the festival would
completely ruin my image!
254
00:12:54,372 --> 00:12:57,910
I'm afraid Svengallop doesn't
give a pickled Pippin
255
00:12:57,943 --> 00:12:59,378
about your charity work.
256
00:12:59,411 --> 00:13:00,946
That's not true!
257
00:13:00,979 --> 00:13:03,315
Svengallop has always supported
me in all my interests.
258
00:13:03,348 --> 00:13:05,450
You're just saying those
things because you're jealous.
259
00:13:05,483 --> 00:13:09,054
Jealous of what? A pony who
hides behind a veil so thick
260
00:13:09,087 --> 00:13:11,290
she can't see when
somepony's using her?
261
00:13:11,323 --> 00:13:14,092
No, I'm not jealous
of that, Rara.
262
00:13:14,125 --> 00:13:17,863
I am not Rara! I am
Countess Coloratura!
263
00:13:17,896 --> 00:13:20,332
And while we may have been
friends when we were young,
264
00:13:20,365 --> 00:13:22,868
we have clearly gone in
different directions!
265
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:33,946
It just ain't right!
266
00:13:33,979 --> 00:13:37,049
He's manipulatin' her and
she's just not seein' it.
267
00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:39,051
Enough stewing! More peeling!
268
00:13:40,619 --> 00:13:42,855
Sorry, Pinkie, but
there is no way
269
00:13:42,888 --> 00:13:44,556
I'm lettin' that
lousy Svengallop
270
00:13:44,589 --> 00:13:46,925
use my friend like that!
271
00:13:46,958 --> 00:13:48,127
Ohhhh.
272
00:13:50,495 --> 00:13:52,297
Countess Coloratura!
273
00:13:52,330 --> 00:13:55,300
Wow, AJ! You said my real name.
274
00:13:55,333 --> 00:13:59,071
I said your new name, but I
saw the real you hangin' out
275
00:13:59,104 --> 00:14:01,006
with those school
ponies yesterday.
276
00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:02,574
And I know somepony
that'd prefer
277
00:14:02,607 --> 00:14:05,143
if you stopped doin'
those little events.
278
00:14:05,176 --> 00:14:07,246
Oh, not this again.
279
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,314
C'mon, now. You just
gotta give me a chance
280
00:14:09,347 --> 00:14:11,250
to prove what I'm
sayin' is true!
281
00:14:11,283 --> 00:14:13,485
And just how are you
going to do that?
282
00:14:13,518 --> 00:14:17,556
Do exactly what I say; we'll
see if that Svengallop
283
00:14:17,589 --> 00:14:20,426
truly has your best
interests at heart.
284
00:14:22,327 --> 00:14:25,063
Svengallop? Svengallop?
285
00:14:25,096 --> 00:14:26,398
Where are you, Svengallop?
286
00:14:26,431 --> 00:14:29,401
Here I am. Did you
need something?
287
00:14:29,434 --> 00:14:32,237
Yes, I was...considering...
288
00:14:32,270 --> 00:14:36,141
maybe canceling the contest
with the school ponies?
289
00:14:36,174 --> 00:14:38,543
Countess, this is
wonderful!
290
00:14:38,576 --> 00:14:40,545
I've been waiting
forever for you to cancel
291
00:14:40,578 --> 00:14:43,015
that pointless
school pony contest!
292
00:14:43,048 --> 00:14:45,050
You...have?
293
00:14:45,083 --> 00:14:49,321
You do it at every charity event
and it does absolutely nothing
294
00:14:49,354 --> 00:14:53,525
to promote the Countess
Coloratura image that I built!
295
00:14:53,558 --> 00:14:55,294
Consider it CANCELED!
296
00:14:55,327 --> 00:14:56,528
Pinkie Pie!
297
00:14:56,561 --> 00:14:59,064
Yes, Svengallop, sir?
298
00:14:59,097 --> 00:15:01,233
[coughing]
299
00:15:01,266 --> 00:15:05,170
We're making some adjustments
to the show. Follow me!
300
00:15:15,146 --> 00:15:16,715
Cancel the contest
for the fillies
301
00:15:16,748 --> 00:15:19,184
and schedule
me a spa treatment.
302
00:15:19,217 --> 00:15:22,421
Now that I don't have to oversee
a rehearsal with those brats,
303
00:15:22,454 --> 00:15:24,423
I have time for the works.
304
00:15:24,456 --> 00:15:25,491
You know the drill:
305
00:15:25,524 --> 00:15:29,328
deliver, or the diva
ditches your dippy charity.
306
00:15:31,563 --> 00:15:36,635
OK, Countess Coloratura!
All taken care of!
307
00:15:36,668 --> 00:15:38,603
recording plays through PA:
You know the drill:
308
00:15:38,636 --> 00:15:42,240
deliver, or the diva
ditches your dippy charity.
309
00:15:42,273 --> 00:15:45,177
So that's how you've
been managing things?
310
00:15:45,210 --> 00:15:47,579
Yeah, so? What's the problem?
311
00:15:47,612 --> 00:15:49,748
The problem is that
you've been using my name
312
00:15:49,781 --> 00:15:52,184
to intimidate ponies
to get what you want.
313
00:15:52,217 --> 00:15:56,621
But I work incredibly hard for
you! I deserve everything I get!
314
00:15:56,654 --> 00:15:59,558
But not because you scare ponies
into thinking I won't perform
315
00:15:59,591 --> 00:16:01,326
for their charities otherwise!
316
00:16:01,359 --> 00:16:03,628
I would never do
that to my fans.
317
00:16:03,661 --> 00:16:06,264
Which is why you should have
known that I would never
318
00:16:06,297 --> 00:16:08,567
cancel the School
Ponies Contest!
319
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,437
Hmm. All this charity and
school pony contest nonsense
320
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:15,507
is just remnants of that
boring little Rara
321
00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:17,542
I met back in Manehattan.
322
00:16:17,575 --> 00:16:20,579
You clearly don't
understand the real me.
323
00:16:20,612 --> 00:16:24,416
That's a joke! I
made you somepony.
324
00:16:24,449 --> 00:16:27,419
What can you even do without me?
325
00:16:27,452 --> 00:16:32,257
Good luck, Countess
Coloratura! Good luck!
326
00:16:35,326 --> 00:16:38,296
Oh, Rara! I'm so sorry.
327
00:16:38,329 --> 00:16:40,766
Are you gonna be OK for
the concert tonight?
328
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:45,303
Of course. After all,
the show must go on!
329
00:16:45,336 --> 00:16:48,206
Oh, my gosh, Rarity!
Svengallop's right!
330
00:16:48,239 --> 00:16:51,476
This is going to be a disaster!
I'm gonna be terrible!
331
00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:53,445
Can you give us
a minute, Rarity?
332
00:16:53,478 --> 00:16:54,580
Certainly.
333
00:16:56,714 --> 00:16:59,551
Now, why's it gonna
be so terrible?
334
00:16:59,584 --> 00:17:01,620
Because Svengallop was
in charge of everything!
335
00:17:01,653 --> 00:17:03,622
The lights! The
visuals! The sound!
336
00:17:03,655 --> 00:17:06,124
Without Svengallop,
I have nothing!
337
00:17:06,157 --> 00:17:07,793
Now, now. don't go
gettin' yourself
338
00:17:07,826 --> 00:17:10,062
into a tizzy there, Rara.
339
00:17:10,095 --> 00:17:13,098
Svengallop turned you
into Countess Coloratura
340
00:17:13,131 --> 00:17:15,634
and acted like your friend
so he could enjoy the perks
341
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:16,902
that came with bein' a star.
342
00:17:16,935 --> 00:17:20,338
But the real perk of friendship
is gettin' to see your friend
343
00:17:20,371 --> 00:17:22,441
bein' true to theirself.
344
00:17:22,474 --> 00:17:25,110
And, Rara, when
you're simply yourself,
345
00:17:25,143 --> 00:17:28,313
you're the brightest star
I've ever seen shine!
346
00:17:33,384 --> 00:17:35,320

Thank you, everypony!
385
00:20:26,057 --> 00:20:29,361
When I arrived at the Helping
Hooves Music Festival,
386
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:32,464
I had forgotten
who I really was.
387
00:20:32,497 --> 00:20:36,768
But then an old friend reminded
me what real friendship is about
388
00:20:36,801 --> 00:20:40,472
and she told me that if
I was true to myself,
389
00:20:40,505 --> 00:20:42,607
I couldn't go wrong.
390
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,877
So, I have a very special
surprise for her.
