have to race me.

357
00:20:15,313 --> 00:20:18,516
I just need you to fly fast
enough for a Sonic Rainboom.

358
00:20:18,516 --> 00:20:21,786
What? I can't do
that. Nopony can.

359
00:20:21,786 --> 00:20:25,123
It's not even a real thing.
It's just an old mare's tale.

360
00:20:25,123 --> 00:20:26,825
But it's not! I
know it's not.

361
00:20:26,825 --> 00:20:28,760
I've seen you do it.
In the future!

362
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:34,499
OK. I'm gonna go now.

363
00:20:34,499 --> 00:20:36,201
No! Wait!

364
00:20:39,671 --> 00:20:42,440
Gee, Twilight.
What's the matter?

365
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,812
Couldn't convince her to do the
impossible? That's too bad.

366
00:20:47,812 --> 00:20:51,216
[zap]

367
00:20:58,156 --> 00:21:01,259
Spike: Well, that
didn't work.

368
00:21:01,259 --> 00:21:03,261
This is going to be
harder than I thought.

369
00:21:03,261 --> 00:21:04,796
We'll have to try again.

370
00:21:04,796 --> 00:21:06,364
Hey, Twilight.

371
00:21:06,364 --> 00:21:09,200
I don't want to live in
that awful future we saw.

372
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,535
I don't think you'll have to.

373
00:21:11,503 --> 00:21:14,773
[clank]

374
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:17,108
Twilight: Pinkie? Fluttershy?

375
00:21:17,108 --> 00:21:20,378
SILENCE, CHANGELING!

376
00:21:20,378 --> 00:21:23,481
All servants of Queen
Chrysalis found in these woods

377
00:21:23,481 --> 00:21:26,118
must be destroyed!

378
00:21:29,354 --> 00:21:30,389
[gulp]
