- Rainbow Dash: Now, what have we learned?
- Fluttershy: Loss of control.
- Rainbow Dash: Good.
- Fluttershy: Screaming and hollering
- Rainbow Dash: Yes, and most importantly?
- Fluttershy: Passion!
- Rainbow Dash: Right! So now that you know the elements of a good cheer, let's hear one.
- Fluttershy: [inhales] Yay.
- Rainbow Dash: ...Ugh. You're gonna cheer for me like *that*? Louder.
- Fluttershy: Yay.
- Rainbow Dash: Louder!
- Fluttershy: Yay.
- Rainbow Dash: LOUDER!
- Fluttershy: [Takes deep breath] Yaay.
- Rainbow Dash: Ugh...
- Fluttershy: ...Too loud?
- Twilight Sparkle: How am I supposed to find a flight spell in this mess?
- Pinkie Pie: A flight spell? One sec...
- [Gets book]
- Pinkie Pie: Page 27!
- Applejack: How'd you do that?
- Pinkie Pie: It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash knocked me into the bookcase.
- Princess Celestia: So Twilight Sparkle, did you learn anything about friendship from this experience?
- Twilight Sparkle: I did Princess, but I think Rarity learned even more than me.
- Rarity: I certainly did. I learned how important it is to keep your hooves on the ground, and be there for your friends.
- Princess Celestia: Excellent. Well done Rarity.
- Rainbow Dash: That was a truly feeble performance...
- Fluttershy: Actually, it wasn't *all* bad. I particularly liked it when you made the clouds spin.
- Rainbow Dash: I'm not talking about *my* performance. I'm talking about *yours*; that feeble cheering.
- Rainbow Dash: AAAAHHH! What do I do? Everypony is gonna see me fail! The Wonderbolts will never let a loser like me join! Princess Celestia will probably banish me to the Everfree Forest! MY LIFE IS RUINED!
- Rainbow Dash: And here's where they make the rainbows.
- Pinkie Pie: [dips a hoof in the rainbow water and licks it, causing a reaction] Spiiicyyy!
- Rainbow Dash: Yeah. Rainbows aren't known for their flavor...
- Rarity: [flying above the competition with sunlight shining through her translucent temporary wings] Look upon me Equestria! For I. AM. RARITY!
- Rainbow Dash: You've got to learn to be assertive, Fluttershy. Don't be afraid to speak up.
- Billy Dumbbell: Well well well. What do we have here?
- Hoops: It's our old friend, Rainbow *Crash*!
- Billy Dumbbell: Get kicked outta any flight schools lately?
- Billy Dumbbell, Hoops, Score: [laughter]
- Rainbow Dash: I *didn't* get kicked out.
- Billy Dumbbell: Face it, Rainbow Crash. Flight school had *too* many rules, and not enough naptimes for you.
- Hoops: Huh, ask her about the sonic rainboom.
- Billy Dumbbell: That's nothing but an old mare's tale. You don't have the skills to try something like that.
- Fluttershy: Now wait just a minute! Oh, I'm sorry. I'm trying to be more assertive. Anyhow... She *is* going to do a sonic rainboom!
- Billy Dumbbell: No she's not, 'cause there's no such thing!
- Fluttershy: Then show up at the Cloudseum and see for yourself!... If you're free.
- Billy Dumbbell, Hoops, Score: [laughter]
- Hoops: [within laughter] Yeah, I'll be free.
- Billy Dumbbell: Oh, don't worry. We'll be there!
- Hoops: See you then, Rainbow Crash!
- [they leave]
- Fluttershy: Did you see that? I was so assertive!
- Twilight Sparkle: [watching the competition] I loved number seven. Doing fifteen barrel-rolls in a row can't be easy.
- Fluttershy: My favorite is number ten. She just looked like such a nice pony.
- Applejack: Hmm... Wonder how come we haven't seen Rainbow Dash or Rarity yet? The competition's almost over.
- Lucy: [back in the prep room] Number fifteen, let's go!
- Rarity: [overdressed with extra makeup on] Rarity... Is ready!
- Lucy: Look ladies. I don't know what to tell you. There's only time for one more performance. If you both want to compete, you'll just have to go out there together!
- Rarity: Well Rainbow Dash? Shall we?
- Rainbow Dash: [scared babble]
- Madden the Announcer: [back outside again] And now, for our final competitor of the day, contestant number fifteen!
- [Rainbow Dash comes out, unsure of herself, while Rarity follows with much confidence]
- Madden the Announcer: Uhh... And apparently contestant number four...
- Rarity: [Rainbow Dash has performed a "sonic rainboom" to save Rarity from her fall] Oh thank you Rainbow Dash. You saved my life!
- Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah. I did that too. Ha, BEST DAY EVER!
- [last lines]
- Rainbow Dash: This really is the BEST DAY EVER!
- Billy Dumbbell: Uhh, hey Rainbow Crash.
- Hoops: [elbows him] Dash!
- Billy Dumbbell: Oh! Uhh... Sorry Rainbow Dash. Uhh, we just wanted to congratulate you on winning the competition.
- Hoops: That sonic rainboom was awesome!
- Rainbow Dash: Heh, thanks guys.
- Billy Dumbbell: Uhh, we're really sorry we gave you such a hard time before.
- Rainbow Dash: Aww, that's ok. Don't worry about it.
- Billy Dumbbell: Hey. Do you want to hang out with us? Maybe you could show us how you did that incredible trick!
- Rainbow Dash: Sorry boys... But I've got plans!
- [She flies off with two of the Wonderbolts]
- Spitfire: So you're the little pony who saved our lives. We really wanted to meet you, and say thanks.
- Rainbow Dash: OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!
- Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash. Are you okay? You don't look so good.
- Rainbow Dash: [Panting] Of course! Why wouldn't I be ok? Everyone's so in love with Rarity's wings that they won't even notice when I totally *blow it* in the Best Young Flyer's Competition.
- Rainbowshine: [to Rarity] Hey! There's an idea! YOU should enter the competition!
- Nana Knits: Yeah! I could watch you fly all day long!
- Rarity: There really isn't anypony who uses their wings quite like me. Perhaps I *should* compete.
- Rainbow Dash: WHAT?
- [workers continue awing at Rarity]
- Rainbow Dash: What am I gonna DO? I'll never win the competition now...
- Rarity: [to her friends] I want to apologize to all of you for getting so carried away with my beautiful wings. I guess I just lost my head.
- Fluttershy: It's okay.
- Applejack: Oh, don't worry about it, kiddo.
- Pinkie Pie: We still love you.
- Rarity: [to Rainbow Dash] And I'm especially sorry that I was so thoughtless as to jump into the contest at the last minute after you had worked so hard to win it. Can you ever, ever forgive me?
- Rainbow Dash: Aw, it's okay.
