00:00:20 >> That was barely worth the effort, Adagio.
00:00:38 >> I'm tired of fast food, I need a meal.
00:00:41 >> The energy in this world isn't the same as in Equestria.
00:00:44 We can only gain so much power here.
00:00:47 >> I wish we'd never been banished to this awful place.
00:00:50 >> Really?
00:00:51 >> I love it here.
00:00:52 >> For realsies?
00:00:55 Because I think this place is the worst.
00:00:57 >> I think you're the worst, Sonata.
00:01:00 >> Yeah, well I think you're.
00:01:02 >> I'll tell you one thing, being stuck here with you two
00:01:06 isn't making this world any more bearable.
00:01:10 [MUSIC]
00:01:20 >> Did you feel that?
00:01:31 [MUSIC]
00:01:34 Do you know what that is?
00:01:36 [MUSIC]
00:01:38 >> It's Equestrian magic.
00:01:41 >> But this world doesn't have Equestrian magic.
00:01:44 >> It does now, and we're going to use it to make everyone in
00:01:49 this pathetic little world adore us.

00:03:53 >> Want some help?
00:04:10 >> No thanks.
00:04:12 >> We're good.
00:04:13 >> Oh, okay.
00:04:16 >> Sunshine Shimmer, over here.
00:04:20 [MUSIC]
00:04:30 >> I had no idea the whole school would be here.
00:04:34 [MUSIC]
00:04:37 >> White the eye catching advertisement, if I do say so myself.
00:04:40 >> And it smells like cake.
00:04:42 >> It does?
00:04:43 [MUSIC]
00:04:45 >> I used frosting instead of paste.
00:04:47 >> Fluttershy, you got a little something.
00:04:50 [MUSIC]
00:04:53 >> Did I get it?
00:04:54 >> Not exactly.
00:04:56 [MUSIC]
00:04:58 >> Good afternoon, students.
00:05:00 I just wanted to tell you all how pleased I am that so many of you are going to
00:05:05 participate in the first ever Canterlot High School Musical Showcase.
00:05:10 [APPLAUSE]
00:05:15 >> This is a wonderful opportunity to raise money for all our after school
00:05:19 programs here at CHS.
00:05:21 So keep working on those signs and posters.
00:05:24 I think it's going to be one of the most exciting events we've had at CHS since
00:05:29 the fall formal.
00:05:31 [MUSIC]
00:05:43 >> I am never going to live that down.
00:05:45 >> You were pretty bad at the fall formal.
00:05:48 >> A demon.
00:05:50 I turned into a raging she-demon.
00:05:52 >> And tried to turn everyone here into teenage zombies for your own personal
00:05:55 army.
00:05:57 >> Oh, darling.
00:05:58 You have us, and we've forgiven you for your past boo-boos.
00:06:03 >> To be honest, I'd say the whole experience brought everyone at Canterlot
00:06:07 High closer than ever before.
00:06:09 >> One, two, three.

00:25:03 >> I'm starting to think she's not coming.
00:25:06 [MUSIC]
00:25:08 >> Twilight!
00:25:10 >> I'm back.
00:25:13 [MUSIC]
00:25:20 >> Twilight!
00:25:22 >> And I've got some bad news about those new girls.
00:25:26 >> What?
00:25:27 [MUSIC]
00:25:32 >> I do hate that you had to return in a time of crisis.
00:25:35 We have so much catching up to do.
00:25:37 >> For starters, a certain blue-haired guitar player was just asking about you.
00:25:41 >> Flash Sentry was asking about me?
00:25:44 Isn't that nice?
00:25:47 Perhaps you could give us just the slightest bit of gossip from your world?
00:25:51 >> She's got an official title now.
00:25:53 Da-da-da-da!
00:25:55 The Princess of Friendship!
00:25:58 >> Wow, that's really impressive.
00:26:01 I guess you really were Princess Celestia's prize pupil.
00:26:04 >> She's even got her own castle.
00:26:07 >> Castle? You have your own castle?
00:26:12 Oh, lovely.
00:26:14 >> What's new here?
00:26:16 I mean, besides your school becoming the target of dangerous magical creatures from Equestria.
00:26:20 >> Yeah, so that isn't exactly the only strange thing that's happened since you left.
00:26:26 [MUSIC]
00:26:30 >> Pretty sweet, huh?
00:26:32 It happens to all of us when we play.
00:26:35 >> Hmm, my crown was returned to Equestria, but some of its magic must have remained here at Canterlot High.
00:26:41 Now that we're all back together, we can use that magic on the Sirens,
00:26:44 just like when we were able to use it on Sunset Shimmer when she turned into that horrifyingly awful winged monster.
00:26:51 No offense.
00:26:53 >> None taken.
00:26:55 I'm used to it.
00:26:57 >> They'll never even know what hit 'em.
00:26:59 [MUSIC]
00:27:03 >> We've got nothing to worry about now that Twilight's back.
00:27:06 >> Oh, I'm pretty sure I could find something to worry about, but it won't be the Sirens.
00:27:12 >> The sooner we do this, the better.
00:27:14 Any idea where the Dazzlings might be?
00:27:16 [MUSIC]
00:27:21 >> There's a big party tonight for all the bands who signed up to be in the showcase.
00:27:25 That would include the Dazzlings.
00:27:27 [MUSIC]
00:27:29 >> Looks like we've got a party to crash.
00:27:32 [MUSIC]
00:27:49 >> I'm going to get more punch.
00:27:51 [MUSIC]
00:27:54 >> Twilight?
00:27:55 >> Bumped into always doing.
00:27:59 >> What are you doing here?
00:28:00 You came back for the big competition, right?
00:28:03 >> Something like that.
00:28:05 >> Not that there's going to be any real competition.
00:28:07 No one here wants this as bad as my band does.
00:28:10 [MUSIC]
00:28:24 >> Can you excuse me for just a minute?
00:28:26 [MUSIC]
00:28:44 >> Oh, no.
00:28:46 No one's mingling.
00:28:48 It's like there's some kind of underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute.
00:28:53 >> It's a fruit punch, isn't it?
00:28:54 I know I used too much grape juice.
00:28:57 >> It's not the fruit punch.
00:28:59 It's us.
00:29:00 >> But the punch is awful, too.
00:29:02 >> What do you know about good fruit punch?
00:29:05 >> More than you.
00:29:06 >> Do not.
00:29:07 >> Do, too.
00:29:08 >> This is just the kickoff party, girls.
00:29:11 Imagine what a tizzy they'll be in by the time the battle of the bands starts.
00:29:15 >> There isn't going to be a battle of the bands.
00:29:18 We're going to make sure of that.
00:29:20 [MUSIC]
00:29:22 >> All right, girls.
00:29:23 Let's do this.
00:29:25 [MUSIC]
00:29:28 >> Friendship is magic!
00:29:32 [MUSIC]
00:29:42 >> Uh, weren't there rainbows and lasers and stuff last time?
00:29:46 I don't understand.
00:29:48 We're all together again.
00:29:50 Why isn't this working?
00:29:52 [MUSIC]
00:29:57 >> You, uh, really need to go ahead and do that whole magic of friendship thing now.
00:30:01 >> I'm trying, Spike.
00:30:02 I thought the six of us standing together against the sirens would bring out the magic we needed to defeat them.
00:30:07 That's what happened before.
00:30:09 >> Talk about throwing down the gauntlet.
00:30:12 This group is obviously serious about winning.
00:30:15 A little cocky, though, aren't they?
00:30:17 Claiming there won't really be a battle.
00:30:20 Seems they think they've already got this thing all locked up.
00:30:24 >> Not if the great and powerful Trixie has anything to do with it.
00:30:29 >> Whatever, Trixie.
00:30:30 We're the best band at CHS.
00:30:32 >> No.
00:30:33 The Crusaders are going to win.
00:30:35 [MUSIC]
00:30:53 >> I think we may have found what we're looking for.
00:30:56 Or rather, it found us.
00:31:03 Magic!
00:31:05 Don't you see?
00:31:06 Everyone else has fallen under our spell.
00:31:09 But not these girls.
00:31:11 These girls are special.
00:31:18 >> It doesn't make any sense.
00:31:20 I should have been able to create the spark that would help us break their spell.
00:31:23 That's how it worked before.
00:31:25 >> But to defeat me, you drew magic from the crown I was wearing.
00:31:29 The sirens' magic comes from their music.
00:31:32 So maybe you have to use the same kind of magic to defeat them.
00:31:36 Or maybe not.
00:31:38 >> No.
00:31:39 I think you're on to something.
00:31:41 >> Really?
00:31:42 >> It's when you play music that you transform now, right?
00:31:45 >> Yep.
00:31:46 Ears, tails, the whole shebang.
00:31:48 >> So maybe the way to use that magic to defeat the sirens is by playing a musical counter spell.
00:31:53 >> You mean like a song?
00:31:55 >> Uh-huh.
00:31:56 And in order to free everyone who's been exposed to the siren spell, we'll need them all to hear it.
00:32:01 >> Hmm.
00:32:03 >> The band competition.
00:32:05 That's the next time we can be certain everyone will be in the same place at the same time.
00:32:10 >> Guess the rainbooms are the band to beat.
00:32:12 >> And I believe you, Twilight, just became the rainbooms' newest member.
00:32:18 [ Laughter ]
00:32:23 >> So what do you want to play?
00:32:25 Triangle?
00:32:26 Sousaphone?
00:32:28 Fluterman?
00:32:34 So magical.
00:32:37 I might take a little too long to learn how to play something with these.
00:32:41 I'll just sing.
00:32:42 >> Like as in lead singer?
00:32:44 Because that's usually my gig, this being my band and all.
00:32:48 >> It's our band.
00:32:50 And of course as lead singer.
00:32:52 She's the one with the magical know-how to help us pull this thing off.
00:32:55 >> Okay.
00:32:56 Yeah.
00:32:57 I'll just use this as a chance to hone my already insanely good lead guitar skills.
00:33:03 >> It's only temporary.
00:33:04 And we don't have to win the battle of the bands.
00:33:06 We just have to perform during the first round of the competition.
00:33:10 >> Let's get to learning that musical counter spell.
00:33:13 >> Well, that's just it.
00:33:14 I don't know any.
00:33:16 >> Aww.
00:33:18 >> But I'm sure I could figure out how to write one.
00:33:20 >> Totally.
00:33:21 Twilight can write a spell like it's nobody's business.
00:33:23 That's pretty much how she got to become a princess in Equestria.
00:33:26 >> Technically I helped finish a spell.
00:33:29 And there was a little more to it than that, Spike.
00:33:31 >> Yeah, whatever.
00:33:33 >> I've got this.
00:33:34 Come on.
00:33:36 >> Where are you going?
00:33:38 >> Well, last time we were here, Spike and I spent the night in the library.
00:33:41 >> Are you crazy?
00:33:43 We're besties now.
00:33:45 Slipper party at my house!
00:33:51 >> I'm going to get a status update.
00:33:53 Okie dokie, Loki.
00:34:09 >> Hey, I was about to beat you.
00:34:12 >> I doubt it.
00:34:13 So, Twilight, how is that counter spell coming?
00:34:16 >> Huh?
00:34:17 Oh, good.
00:34:18 Great.
00:34:19 >> Thanks for letting me use your notebook, Fluttershy.
00:34:21 I really like the song you wrote for the rain booms.
00:34:24 >> Thanks.
00:34:26 Hopefully one day we'll get a chance to play it.
00:34:32 >> 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.
00:34:38 >> Uh-huh.
00:34:41 >> Pizza's here!
00:34:54 >> Twilight, pizza?
00:35:10 >> [snoring]
00:35:39 >> No, that's not going to work.
00:35:43 >> Hey, Twilight.
00:35:45 You're up late.
00:35:47 >> Just looking over the counter spell.
00:35:49 We only get one shot at this.
00:35:51 It has to be perfect.
00:35:53 >> We really are lucky you're here.
00:35:55 >> That's what everyone keeps telling me.
00:35:57 >> Who could possibly need this much whipped cream?
00:36:01 Must be nice to have everyone always looking to you for answers to their problems instead of waiting for you to cause a problem.
00:36:08 >> Just because everyone expects something from you doesn't mean it's guaranteed to happen.
00:36:13 >> But that doesn't stop them from expecting it.
00:36:15 >> Which only makes things harder because the last thing you want to do is let everybody down.
00:36:25 >> [screams]
00:36:27 >> Boulder was hungry.
00:36:37 >> I still can't get over the fact that she's related to Pinkie Pie.
00:36:41 >> You and me both.
00:36:44 >> I better get some sleep.
00:36:46 Good luck with the counter spell.
00:36:48 Not that you'll need it.
00:36:49 This must be nothing compared to the stuff you're expected to deal with as a princess in Equestria.
00:36:55 >> Sunset shimmer?
00:37:00 Never mind.
00:37:01 It's not important.
00:37:06 No.
00:37:07 I have to be able to do this.
00:37:09 I have to.
00:37:13 >> Hey, hey, listen.
00:37:16 We've got a message for you.
00:37:20 We're not all alike.
00:37:23 But our friendship is true.
00:37:27 Yeah, we're really different.
00:37:30 But we still get along.
00:37:34 So hey, hey, listen to our song.
00:37:41 You may think you're in control.
00:37:45 But we're here to prove you wrong.
00:37:49 In the presence of the magic, with the power of our song.
00:37:56 Gonna stomp our feet, clap our hands, with the magic of friendship.
00:38:03 Gonna stomp your evil plans.
00:38:14 >> That sounded way better than the last five times you played it.
00:38:20 >> Nope.
00:38:22 >> I think it's pretty obvious what's going wrong with this counter spell.
00:38:27 >> You're turning what should be the chorus into a five minute guitar solo?
00:38:31 >> I'm trying to pick up the slack somehow.
00:38:33 Are you guys even trying?
00:38:35 >> I'm trying.
00:38:36 >> It's fine.
00:38:37 It'll be fine.
00:38:38 One more time from the top.
00:38:42 >> Or perhaps we could take a short break.
00:38:44 Try on some of the wardrobe choices I put together.
00:38:47 I'm particularly fond of this one.
00:38:51 Of course, we could always go with something a bit more modern.
00:38:54 >> We're trying to save our school here.
00:38:57 Enough with the costumes.
00:38:59 >> We never have enough costumes.
00:39:01 >> She just wants to make things fun.
00:39:03 Isn't that what being in a band is supposed to be?
00:39:07 >> You don't have time for any of this.
00:39:09 You're supposed to check in at the Battle of the Bands in 15 minutes.
00:39:13 >> No.
00:39:15 >> But it's not ready.
00:39:17 If we play the counter spell in the first round and it doesn't work,
00:39:19 the sirens will know what we're up to and make sure we don't get a chance to play it again.
00:39:26 >> We'll have to buy ourselves some time so you can keep working on it.
00:39:29 >> And how do you propose we do that?
00:39:31 We compete in the Battle of the Bands for real.
00:39:34 I take overly vocals again and we stay alive until the finals.
00:39:37 We unleash the counter spell then.
00:39:39 You'll have figured it out by the finals, right?
00:39:42 >> Of course she will.
00:39:44 Twilight Sparkle's never met a problem she couldn't solve.
00:39:46 Right, Twilight?
00:39:47 >> Right.
00:39:49 >> Then let's go win us a Battle of the Bands!
00:40:03 >> Welcome to the first ever Cantaloupe High School Battle of the Bands.
00:40:07 I believe I speak for everyone when I say it is by far the greatest thing we have ever done here at this school.
00:40:15 [cheers]
00:40:19 We are so glad our three newest students encouraged us to turn this event into something exciting.
00:40:26 But as this is now a competition, we can only choose one winner.
00:40:31 Who is it going to be?
00:40:34 [chatter]
00:40:45 You feel that, girls?
00:40:47 Our true power is being restored.
00:40:49 [laughter]
00:40:54 And that's before we've tapped into the strongest magic here.
00:40:59 But the rain blossoms, or whatever they're called, aren't under our spell.
00:41:04 How exactly are we supposed to get to their magic?
00:41:07 The rain boons are just as capable of falling apart as anyone else.
00:41:11 They just need a little push in the wrong direction.
00:41:15 I have a feeling everyone here is going to be lining up to give them a shove.
00:41:22 [beat boxing]
00:41:28 Yeah, Snips and Snails in the house, yo.
00:41:31 They call me M.T. Snips, and there ain't no lie.
00:41:34 My favorite food is like pumpkin pie.
00:41:36 I'm D.D. Stazzy Snails. I like whales.
00:41:39 But I go to the beach to always bring my pails.
00:41:43 Everybody knows my favorite color is orange.
00:41:46 My rhymes are so fly, they're better than, um...
00:41:49 Than an orange, yo!
00:41:51 Yeah!
00:41:52 Yeah!
00:41:53 [beat boxing]
00:41:58 Why don't we get off the stage and leave right now?
00:42:02 [beat boxing]
00:42:05 Bam! That just happened!
00:42:06 Aw, yeah! We out!
00:42:08 Snips and Snails, out of here!
00:42:10 [siren]
00:42:14 Please do not drop the microphones.
00:42:17 Yeah!
00:42:18 Bam!
00:42:20 In your face, rain booms!
00:42:22 At least we know one group who won't stand in the way of us getting to the finals.
00:42:26 Let's get ready to rock!
00:42:28 Wait! Where's Rarity?
00:42:30 Here! I'm here!
00:42:32 [panting]
00:42:34 [music]
00:42:41 We will be performing in front of an audience.
00:42:44 I'm not going to wear something fabulous!
00:42:46 Hmph!
00:42:47 Gah!
00:42:49 [crowd noise]
00:42:54 Remember, we have to be good enough to make it through,
00:42:57 but not so good we let the siren see the magic within us.
00:43:00 They could realize we plan to use it against them.
00:43:02 Got it!
00:43:03 Be cool enough to win, but not so cool that we end up
00:43:06 shooing off the whole ears and tails and rainbows thing.
00:43:09 So... about 20% less cool.
00:43:12 One, two!
00:43:13 We've just got the day to get ready
00:43:17 and there's only so much time to lose
00:43:20 because tonight, yeah, we're here to party!
00:43:24 So let's think of something fun to do!
00:43:28 We don't know (we don't know)
00:43:30 what's gonna happen.
00:43:32 We just know (we just know)
00:43:34 it's gonna feel right.
00:43:36 All our friends are here and it's time to ignite,
00:43:40 so light it up!
00:43:42 Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!
00:43:45 Shake your tail, shake your tail!
00:43:48 Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!
00:43:52 Shake your tail, shake your tail!
00:43:56 So what you didn't get it but the first time?
00:43:59 Slap it off!
00:44:00 No one said it is a crime!
00:44:02 Do your thing, you know you're unoriginal.
00:44:06 Your ideas are so funny that they're criminal.
00:44:09 Oh, we've just got the day to get ready
00:44:15 and there's only so much time to lose
00:44:18 because tonight, yeah, we're here to party!
00:44:22 So let's think of something fun to do!
00:44:26 We don't know (we don't know)
00:44:28 what's gonna happen.
00:44:30 We just know (we just know)
00:44:32 it's gonna feel right.
00:44:34 All our friends are here and it's time to ignite,
00:44:37 so light it up!
00:44:40 Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!
00:44:43 Shake your tail, shake your tail!
00:44:46 Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!
00:44:50 Shake your tail, shake your tail!
00:44:53 Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!
00:44:57 Shake your tail, shake your tail!
00:45:00 Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!
00:45:04 Shake your tail, shake your tail!
00:45:07 Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!
00:45:11 Oh, ruin! Absolutely ruin!
00:45:21 Rarity, were you trying to make us lose out there?
00:45:24 This was not my fault! This was an act of sabotage!
00:45:28 Yeah, well, whoever did this couldn't have done this
00:45:31 if you didn't insist on dressing like... like this!
00:45:35 We need to sound good.
00:45:37 Is there some reason that concept seems to escape you?
00:45:40 And what was with the confetti, Pinkie Pie?
00:45:42 How am I supposed to shred if there's paper stuck in my frets?
00:45:45 It was pretty distracting.
00:45:48 Says the girl who was running from a light the whole time!
00:45:51 A light!
00:45:53 You still sounded much better than most of the other bands.
00:45:56 I'm sure you'll make it to the next round,
00:45:58 but it won't matter if you don't have that counter spell ready.
00:46:02 You all find a place to practice where the sirens can't hear you.
00:46:05 I'll keep an eye on things around here.
00:46:08 I don't think we should use a classroom.
00:46:18 We really need to stop bumping into each other like this.
00:46:25 Uh, you guys hear something?
00:46:28 Uh, nope.
00:46:29 I said, we have to stop--
00:46:31 There it is again! So annoying.
00:46:34 Why are you acting like this? I thought we were friends.
00:46:38 Yeah, and then you decided to come back here
00:46:40 just so you could beat me in the Battle of the Bands.
00:46:42 I want this, Twilight, and you're trying to take it from me.
00:46:46 Some friend.
00:46:47 That's not why--
00:46:48 Come on, Twilight, we've got things to do.
00:46:50 You really think you're gonna help them?
00:46:52 I bet you have no idea what you're even doing.
00:46:55 Tears already? This is only the first round.
00:47:03 The next band to take the stage will be Trixie and the Illusions.
00:47:11 Better head back. We're supposed to go on after Trixie.
00:47:14 You're never gonna get away with this.
00:47:21 Why? Because you didn't?
00:47:23 Oh, we know all about you, Sunset Shimmer.
00:47:28 You've got quite the reputation at Canterlot High.
00:47:31 I've changed. I'm in a much better place now.
00:47:33 Waiting in the wings while your friends have all the fun?
00:47:37 Oh, yes. You girls are so tight.
00:47:40 And yet, they didn't ask you to be in the band.
00:47:43 Probably afraid no one would want to see them play if she was in the group.
00:47:48 Too bad. So sad.
00:47:51 If it's any consolation, no one is going to remember you at all by the time we're done.
00:47:57 Remember, girls, we want to save the good stuff for when our full power has been restored.
00:48:12 Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
00:48:15 You didn't know that you fell
00:48:17 Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
00:48:19 Now that you're under our spell
00:48:22 Blindsided by the beat
00:48:24 Clapping your hands, stomping your feet
00:48:27 You didn't know that you fell
00:48:29 Oh, oh, oh, oh
00:48:31 Now you've fallen under our spell
00:48:34 Oh, oh, oh, oh
00:48:36 We've got the music, makes you move it
00:48:39 Got this song that makes you lose it
00:48:41 We say jump, you say high, high
00:48:43 Hold your hands up to the sky
00:48:45 We've got the music, makes you move it
00:48:48 Got this song that makes you lose it
00:48:50 We say jump, you say high, high
00:48:52 Hold your hands up to the sky
00:48:54 Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
00:48:56 You didn't know that you fell
00:48:59 Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
00:49:01 Now that you're under our spell
00:49:03 Listen to the sound of my voice
00:49:06 Oh, oh, oh, oh
00:49:08 Soon you'll find you don't have a choice
00:49:11 Oh, oh, oh, oh
00:49:13 Captured in the web of my song
00:49:16 Oh, oh, oh, oh
00:49:18 Soon you'll all be singing along
00:49:21 Oh, oh, oh, oh
00:49:22 We've got the music, makes you move it
00:49:25 Got this song that makes you lose it
00:49:27 We say jump, you say high, high
00:49:29 Hold your hands up to the sky
00:49:31 We've got the music, makes you move it
00:49:34 Got this song that makes you lose it
00:49:36 We say jump, you say high, high
00:49:38 Put your hands up to the sky
00:49:40 Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
00:49:42 You didn't know that you fell
00:49:45 Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
00:49:47 Now that you're under our spell
00:49:49 Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
00:49:52 You didn't know that you fell
00:49:54 Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
00:49:56 Now that you're under our spell
00:50:01 [laughs]
00:50:04 This is it. Last round and you're in the finals.
00:50:18 Unless you think the Counterspell is ready to be played now.
00:50:21 Don't worry, Twilight. Finals aren't until tonight.
00:50:25 We'll get in a little more practice before we're supposed to hit the stage.
00:50:28 We won't let you down.
00:50:30 Yeah!
00:50:31 You won't let me down.
00:50:33 Um, I was just wondering, we haven't played any of my songs yet and...
00:50:39 It's the semifinals. We gotta do awesome as they wanna be.
00:50:42 Don't know why I even asked.
00:50:45 I got tricks up my sleeve
00:50:47 See me dominate
00:50:49 'Cause I'm powerful and great
00:50:53 [laughs]
00:50:57 Fantastic!
00:51:00 You're never gonna top that performance, Rain Goons.
00:51:05 You shouldn't be allowed to when you have such a big advantage over the rest of us.
00:51:09 My superior guitar playing and off the charts awesome singing voice?
00:51:13 Don't be ridiculous. I mean her.
00:51:17 If you were really all that, Rainbow Dash,
00:51:20 you wouldn't have needed to bring in some magical ringer to have half a chance.
00:51:24 Everyone's talking about it.
00:51:26 Ha! Please! I could win this thing as a solo act and everybody knows it.
00:51:32 Sure you could.
00:51:34 [laughter]
00:51:39 She's gone!
00:51:42 Oh wait, there she is!
00:51:44 Next up, the Rain Booms.
00:51:48 Knock 'em dead, Rain Booms!
00:51:52 I'll be here. Just watching.
00:51:56 [music]
00:52:01 Awesome as I wanna be
00:52:05 Awesome as I wanna be
00:52:11 First you see me riding on a sonic boom
00:52:13 Got my guitar shredding up the latest tune
00:52:16 There is nothing you can do to beat me
00:52:19 I'm so good that you can't defeat me
00:52:22 Yeah, I'm awesome, take caution
00:52:25 Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be
00:52:28 I'm awesome, take caution
00:52:30 Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be
00:52:33 [music]
00:52:35 [music]
00:52:49 Now that's the bad girl we love to hate!
00:53:04 I knew she was still trouble!
00:53:06 The real Sunset Shimmer is back!
00:53:09 No, it isn't like that.
00:53:12 What was that?
00:53:18 You were showing them your magic. I didn't know what else to do.
00:53:21 Close the curtains, unplug her app, give us a chance to deal with the situation?
00:53:26 I'm sorry, I just wanted to help.
00:53:28 Yeah, well you didn't.
00:53:30 None of this would have happened if you weren't trying to show off.
00:53:33 As usual.
00:53:35 Good show, Rain Brooms.
00:53:37 I especially like the part where Sunset Shimmer, in a fit of jealous rage,
00:53:42 knocked out Rainbow Dash mid-guitar solo.
00:53:45 It wasn't a fit of jealous rage!
00:53:48 If you say so.
00:53:52 Ooh, looks like they've already decided who'll be moving on to the finals.
00:53:57 I'm guessing it wasn't too difficult a decision.
00:54:01 [Song from the Final Fantasy X]
00:54:08 What can we do? There isn't going to be another opportunity for us to play.
00:54:12 And I had the most gorgeous outfit for the finals!
00:54:16 Yep, 'cause that's the real tragedy here, Rarity, that you won't get to play dress-up.
00:54:21 You know perfectly well that is not what I meant!
00:54:24 You guys want to keep it down? They're about to announce who's moving on!
00:54:27 Who are you kidding? You know it isn't going to be us!
00:54:31 The band that will be joining the Dazzlings in tonight's finals...
00:54:37 The Rain Booms!
00:54:39 What?!
00:54:40 Huh?
00:54:41 Did they just say the Rain Booms?
00:54:44 This isn't over!
00:54:46 Congratulations, girls. You deserve it.
00:54:52 Seriously? We didn't even finish our--
00:54:56 See you at tonight's big show, Rain Booms. We are really looking forward to it.
00:55:02 Yeah, well, not as much as we are!
00:55:06 This never should have been you, Rain Booms!
00:55:23 This is a travesty! A travesty!
00:55:27 It really is! The Rain Booms don't deserve to be in the finals.
00:55:31 Not when your band was so much better in the semis.
00:55:34 And wanted it so much more.
00:55:36 Alas, this is the way it's going to be. Dazzlings versus Rain Booms.
00:55:41 Unless, of course, the Rain Booms don't manage to make it to their set, or held up for some reason.
00:55:46 Hmm...
00:55:48 Check, one, two! Testing, testing!
00:55:59 Testing!
00:56:07 This doesn't make any sense. We were awful.
00:56:12 Doesn't anybody else think it's strange that we're the ones that made it to the finals?
00:56:17 Very strange.
00:56:19 What are you doing here, Trixie?
00:56:22 Pretty sure the losers are supposed to be up there in the cheap seats.
00:56:25 The great and powerful Trixie is the most talented girl at Canterlot High.
00:56:30 It is I who deserve to be in the finals. And I will not be denied!
00:56:36 [screams]
00:56:38 [laughs]
00:56:49 See you never!
00:56:53 Told you someone would give them a shove.
00:57:01 She didn't shove them. She pulled the lever.
00:57:04 Ugh, go back to sleep, Sonata.
00:57:07 [music]
00:57:31 [grunts]
00:57:33 Give it up, Rainbow Dash. You've been trying at this for hours. It's not gonna open.
00:57:39 Maybe it doesn't even matter that we're trapped down here.
00:57:43 I don't think the Counterspell would have worked anyway.
00:57:45 'Course it would have worked, Twilight.
00:57:47 Assuming a certain band member didn't try to hog the spotlight the whole time we were trying to play it.
00:57:52 Hey! If you want to tell Twilight she's getting a little too caught up trying to be the new leader of this band,
00:57:58 you don't have to be all cryptic about it.
00:58:01 She was talking about you, Rainbow Dash.
00:58:04 Me? I'm just trying to make sure my band rocks as hard as it needs to.
00:58:09 Our band!
00:58:11 But why wasn't it working? I should know what to do. How can I not know what to do? How can I have failed like this?
00:58:18 It might have been your idea to start a band, but it's not just your band, Rainbow Dash.
00:58:24 I'm the one who writes all the songs.
00:58:26 I write songs, you just never let us play any of them.
00:58:29 I have the most perfect outfits for us to wear.
00:58:32 Again with the costumes. No one cares what we're wearing.
00:58:35 I care, Applejack. So sorry if I enjoy trying to make a creative contribution to the band.
00:58:41 Hey! Anybody here remember Fun? I'll give you a hint! It's the exact opposite of being in a rainboot!
00:58:48 I wish I'd never asked any of you to be in my band.
00:58:51 I wish I'd never agreed to be in it!
00:58:54 Me neither!
00:58:56 You better believe I got tricks up my sleeve.
00:59:15 See me dominate 'cause I'm powerful and great!
00:59:22 [fireworks]
00:59:28 Try to top that!
00:59:33 Oh gosh, I don't know if we can.
00:59:36 [laughter]
00:59:40 [music]
00:59:45 [music fades]
00:59:48 [music]
00:59:51 [music]
01:00:19 Stop! You have to stop!
01:00:22 This is what they've been after all along!
01:00:24 They're feeding off of the magic inside you!
01:00:27 How can they be using our magic? It's the magic of friendship!
01:00:31 Ever since you started this band, you've been letting little things get to you.
01:00:37 I never said anything 'cause I didn't feel like it was my place.
01:00:40 Not when I was so new to this whole friendship thing.
01:00:44 I still have a lot to learn.
01:00:46 But I do know that if you don't work out even the smallest problems right at the start,
01:00:51 the magic of friendship can be turned into something else.
01:00:55 I can't believe all this tension was happening right under my nose and I didn't realize it.
01:01:00 I'm supposed to be the one with all the answers.
01:01:02 And all I've done since I got here is let you down.
01:01:07 I don't think anyone is supposed to have all the answers.
01:01:10 But you can count on your friends to help you find them.
01:01:16 I think you already have.
01:01:18 Come on, we need to get out of here.
01:01:20 Spike!
01:01:27 Sorry I took so long.
01:01:31 I had to find somebody who wasn't under the Siren's spell to help me get you out.
01:01:35 Why isn't she under their spell?
01:01:38 Never takes off her headphones.
01:01:41 Come on, y'all. Time to prove we've still got the magic of friendship inside us.
01:01:45 And there's only one way to do it.
01:01:47 We're getting the band back together?
01:01:49 We're getting our band back together.
01:01:51 Which version of the counter spell are we going to play?
01:01:55 I don't think it matters what song we play, as long as we play it together.
01:01:59 As friends.
01:02:01 I know just the song.
01:02:03 Fluttershy's written a really great one.
01:02:06 We're about to save the world here.
01:02:09 Personally, I think we should do it in style.
01:02:12 Rarity?
01:02:13 I thought you'd never ask!

01:05:55 Sunset Shimmer, we need you!
01:05:58 You're never gonna bring me down
01:06:14 You're never gonna break this part of me
01:06:18 My friends are here to bring me round
01:06:21 Not singing just for popularity
01:06:25 We're here to let you know that we won't let it go
01:06:28 Our music is a bomb and it's about to blow
01:06:32 And you can try to fight, but we have got the light
01:06:35 Of friendship on our side
01:06:38 Got the music in our hearts
01:06:41 We're here to throw this thing apart
01:06:45 And together we will never be afraid of the dark
01:06:52 Here to sing our song out loud
01:06:56 Here to dance in wisdom round
01:06:59 As the music of our friendship survives, survives
01:07:06 Got the music in our hearts
01:07:10 We're here to throw this thing apart
01:07:13 And together we will never be afraid of the dark
01:07:20 Here to sing our song out loud
01:07:24 Here to dance in wisdom round
01:07:27 As the music of our friendship survives, survives, survives
01:07:40 [Music]
01:07:52 We will be adored
01:08:01 Tell us that you want us
01:08:03 We won't be ignored
01:08:06 [Music]
01:08:15 Guess that explains why these were so special to them
01:08:18 Without those pendants and the magic you brought here from Equestria
01:08:21 They're just three harmless teenage girls
01:08:24 Rainbooms rule!
01:08:26 That was amazing!
01:08:28 [Music]
01:08:35 You may have vanquished the Dazzlings
01:08:37 But you will never have the amazing show-stopping ability
01:08:41 Of the great and powerful Trixie!
01:08:44 [Music]
01:08:49 She's gone!
01:08:52 Oh wait, there she is!
01:08:54 [Music]
01:08:56 Trixie's okay!
01:08:59 You know, Twilight is going back to Equestria soon
01:09:02 The Rainbooms could really use someone to help Fluttershy on backup vocals
01:09:06 [Music]
01:09:12 I also play guitar
01:09:14 [Music]
01:09:18 We'll see
01:09:20 [Music]
01:09:30 Sure wish you could stay longer
01:09:32 Me too
01:09:33 But I have responsibilities in Equestria that I have to get back to
01:09:37 Its citizens need me
01:09:40 But now, I can go through the portal whenever I need to
01:09:44 This isn't goodbye
01:09:45 It's just goodbye till next time
01:09:47 Ready?
01:09:48 Ready!
01:09:50 [Music]
01:10:02 Dear Princess Twilight
01:10:05 Missing you already, and hope you'll be back soon
01:10:08 Things are definitely looking up for me here at Canterlot High
01:10:12 But I know I still have a lot to learn about friendship
01:10:16 Hope you don't mind if I write to you for advice when I need it
01:10:19 Your friend, Sunset Shimmer
01:10:22 You ready or what?
01:10:24 Ready!
01:10:26 One, two, three, four!
01:10:28 [Music]
01:10:37 Once upon a time
01:10:40 You came into my world and made the stars align
01:10:45 Now, I can see the signs
01:10:49 You pick me up when I get down so I can shine
01:10:53 Shine like rainbows
01:10:57 Shine like rainbows
01:11:03 Friends, you are in my life
01:11:06 And you can count on me to be there by your side
01:11:11 And when the music comes alive
01:11:15 We sing our songs to lift us up so we can shine
01:11:19 And the sound that we hear in our hearts
01:11:23 Makes our throats stand up
01:11:28 And the light that ignites in the dark
01:11:32 It makes us all love
01:11:36 And shine like rainbows
01:11:40 We shine like rainbows
01:11:46 Together we stand
01:11:49 As the rain begins to fall
01:11:55 And holding our heads up high
01:11:58 As the sun shines through it all
01:12:03 And the sound that we hear in our hearts
01:12:06 Makes our throats stand up
01:12:11 And the light that ignites in the dark
01:12:15 It makes us all love
01:12:20 And shine like rainbows
01:12:24 We shine like rainbows
01:12:28 Shine like rainbows
01:12:33 Shine like rainbows
01:12:37 Shine like rainbows
01:12:42 [music ends]
01:12:45 [typing]
01:12:52 No doubt about it, Spike.
01:13:08 There's definitely something strange going on at that school.
