**Spike**: Okay, Spike. You know you might get distracted by the stacks of books and copious charts, so remember what to say. "Twilight, I know you're in full prep mode for Trivia Trot tomorrow, but you need to get some sleep!" Huh. [laughs] Nice work. You got this.- [door opens]
**Spike**: [gasps] This is weird.- [thud]
**Spike**: Twilight! What are you doing?**Twilight Sparkle**: Great question, Spike! And the answer is...- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: ...going to bed! Brains need eight hours of sleep to perform at optimum levels!**Spike**: Oh. Cool. I thought I'd have to force you to go to bed since tomorrow is your chance to be the first pony to win Ponyville Trivia three times in a row. That is tomorrow, right?**Twilight Sparkle**: The answer is...- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: ...yes! Ask me another one.**Spike**: Another what?**Twilight Sparkle**: Another question! I want to stay in the zone. That way, I can sleep in the zone! Wake up in the zone! And be totally in the zone tomorrow!- [beat]
**Spike**: Uh, this is a whole new level of "Twilight-ing", isn't it? Heh.**Twilight Sparkle**: The answer is...- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: ...yes!**Spike**: Are you okay?**Twilight Sparkle**: The answer is...- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: ...*yes!***Spike**: Well, good night, Twilight. Good luck with your brain sleep and getting that third win. [chuckles]**Twilight Sparkle**: The answer is...- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: ...good night! And yes!**Spike**: That wasn't a question.

- [theme song]

**Twilight Sparkle**: I'm glad you decided to come watch your first Trivia Trot, Spike. I hope the rules aren't too confusing.**Spike**: Rules? Isn't trivia just asking questions and answering them?**Twilight Sparkle**: [laughs] The Trot is a little more involved than that. Let's start with the first category of rules. [reading] "Categories. Rule one: Each category must be categorically designated and thoroughly researched in all categorical..."

**Twilight Sparkle**: "...participating in Trivia Trot." And that wraps up rule forty-one point six. Of course, the exception to that – rule forty-one point six A – is interesting itself because—**Spike**: Oh, look! We're here!**Twilight Sparkle**: Ooh! I can't wait to see who my partner's gonna be!**Spike**: You don't get to pick your own team?**Twilight Sparkle**: Rule twenty point one six B, Spike. To keep things fair, the teams are randomly selected.**Spike**: [sarcastically] Twenty point one six B. How could I forget?**Twilight Sparkle**: And based on the regular attendees, I've charted every potential teammate's strengths and weaknesses, plus my percentage of winning with each one!**Spike**: Ha! I knew there'd be a chart! Glad I'm just watching. I don't think I could handle being your teammate. What if I let you down?**Twilight Sparkle**: [laughs] You could never let me down, Spike. But I'm glad you're watching, too. I'm going to need all the support I can get for win number three!- [door opens]
- [indistinct conversations]
**Applejack**: Well, well, well, if it ain't our reignin' champ. Think you can win again this week, Twilight?**Twilight Sparkle**: Everypony here has a different area of expertise, so it really is anypony's game. But yes!**Rainbow Dash**: Then you better hope you get paired with me, because I am gonna rule this game!- [door opens]
**Sunburst**: We'll just see about that! I didn't come all the way from the Crystal Empire to lose. And I hope you realize I have the highest percentage of correct answers, and I aim to keep it that way.**Rainbow Dash**: [whickers] I hope*you*realize not every category is gonna be "Spells So Old, Not Even Star Swirl the Bearded Remembers Them".**Fluttershy**: I hope there's one on fur maintenance for adorable creatures, because I've been 'brushing up'. [giggles]**Angel**: [chitters angrily]**Mudbriar**: Technically, that was a category last week.**Maud Pie**: It won't be in the game tonight.**Twilight Sparkle**: Rule thirty-seven point two C. No back-to-back categories. But I think Fluttershy was joking.- [door opens]
**Pinkie Pie**: Sure sounded like a joke to me! [giggles] Woo-hoo!**Twilight Sparkle**: Pinkie Pie?!**Pinkie Pie**: Present!- [dramatic musical sting]
**Twilight Sparkle**: [panicked muttering]**Spike**: What's wrong, Twilight?**Twilight Sparkle**: I hadn't anticipated Pinkie Pie as a potential player! She's never played before! My chart is completely off! I have no way to predict what'll happen, and unpredictable is not good for a Trivia Trot three-peat!**Spike**: Do I have to do that thing where I list all your successes as Princess of Friendship to put things into perspective and remind you this is just a game?**Twilight Sparkle**: Spike! This has nothing to do with being the Princess of Friendship! And this is*not*just a game! This! Is!*Trivia Trot!*- [tapping]
**Granny Smith**: Okay, settle down, everypony. I'm fixin' to pick these here teams.- [crowd cheers]
**Twilight Sparkle**: [gasps] It's starting! I have to reevaluate my chart! Spike, I need you to find the part on matchups! Can you look outside?- [teleportation zap]

- [door opens]
**Spike**: What'd I miss?**Twilight Sparkle**: Granny's about to call out the fifth team. Sunburst gave me the highest chance of winning, but he's been paired with Cranky Doodle!**Cranky Doodle Donkey**: [mumbles, muttering] What? Who's that?**Twilight Sparkle**: At least Rainbow Dash and Applejack aren't together. Team Apple-Dash is basically unstoppable.**Applejack**: [growls]**Rainbow Dash**: [growls]**Twilight Sparkle**: And apart they'll spend all their energy trying to one-up each other, so that only helps my chances.**Bulk Biceps**:*Let's do this! Yeah!***Twilight Sparkle**: Eh, not every team is a threat, but there aren't many ponies left.**Granny Smith**: All righty, hold on to your horseshoes, 'cause the next pair of players is... Maud and Mudbriar!- [crowd groans]
**Spike**: What's wrong?**Twilight Sparkle**: Maud and Mudbriar have been paired together every week. It's a statistical improbability! Which would be fine if they weren't so good.- [sizzling]
**Twilight Sparkle**: [deep gasp] Oh, no! According to my calculations, the only pony who could really threaten my winning streak is...!**Granny Smith**: And our final pair of contestants for this week's Trivia Trot is... Twilight and Pinkie Pie!**Pinkie Pie**: Twilight! It's you and me! Isn't that great?- [clatter]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Yeah. Great.

**Spike**: So, I'm guessing the one pony who could mess up your winning streak is Pinkie?**Pinkie Pie**: Twilight! I can't believe we're partners for a game! I love games! And I'm super duper excited for*this*game because it'll be my first time ever playing, and I get to play with you, which makes it even funner!- [zip!]
**Pinkie Pie**: Twilight and Pinkie Pie forever! Ooh! We could be Team Twinkie! Or [gasps] Team Pink-Light! [gasps] Sparkle Pie! No-no-no-no! [gasps] Twi-Pie! [squee]**Twilight Sparkle**: Pinkie, I'm glad you're excited, but tonight's game is special. I could be the first pony ever to win three consecutive Trots in a row. And I'm really hoping I do.**Pinkie Pie**: You don't have anything to worry about. I'll do everything I can to be the bestest and most funnest teammate ever.- [bell ringing]
**Spike**: So... still think you can win?**Twilight Sparkle**: [exhales] I know I can. Pinkie might not be the partner I expected, but I can coach her along. And besides, I'm pretty good at this game. If she misses a few, I'm sure I can pick up the slack.- [airhorn blows]
**Pinkie Pie**: Let's get this party started!**Twilight Sparkle**: [laughs nervously]

**Granny Smith**: Now, the first order of business is we need somepony to keep score.**Spike**: I'll do it!**Applejack**: [laughs] I'm not sure you wanna take that job, Spike. The score-keepin' can get a mite intense.**Sunburst**: Yeah. Starlight used to do it, but now... Well, I can't even say the word "trivia" around her.**Granny Smith**: [scoffs] Apple mash. Don't let them scare ya. You'll be fine. Now, let the games begin!- [crowd cheers]

**Granny Smith**: The first category is "Literary Figures".- [crowd groans]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Ooh! A category about books! We're off to a great start!**Pinkie Pie**: [giggles]**Granny Smith**: [clears throat] Who is the pony that despises the holiday season in the old classic*A Hearth's Warmin' Tale*?- [bell rings]
**Pinkie Pie**: The answer is nopony! Because everypony ends up loving the holiday with singing, festive cakes, and thoughtful presents!- [beat]
**Granny Smith**: Well, as much as that ain't exactly wrong, it ain't exactly right neither.**Pinkie Pie**: [laughs nervously]**Twilight Sparkle**: [whines]**Spike**: Just doing my job, Twilight.**Twilight Sparkle**: [sighs]**Pinkie Pie**: Sorry. I didn't know we could have negative points.**Twilight Sparkle**: It's fine, Pinkie. But maybe it'll help our chances if I coach you as we go. Tip one – try sitting still.**Pinkie Pie**: Can do, Coach Twilight—**Twilight Sparkle**: And don't get distracted. Or*be*distracting. Oh, and remember to listen carefully. Also, it's best to keep quiet between questions.**Pinkie Pie**: Got it.

**Pinkie Pie**: [whimpers] Sitting still, sitting still, sitting still...! [continues under]**Granny Smith**: Which topographical locale used to be a cavern, but after thousands of years of erosion, is now a gorge?**Twilight Sparkle**: Pinkie!**Pinkie Pie**: What?!- [bell rings]
**Maud Pie**: The answer is the Ghastly Gorge.**Granny Smith**: That is one hundred percent correct!**Applejack**: [chomp]**Granny Smith**: The next category is "Apples"!**Rainbow Dash**: Rigged!**Applejack**: I didn't hear*you*complain when the category was "Wonderbolt History".**Rainbow Dash**: But... [stutters] that-that's totally different!**Twilight Sparkle**: Okay, Pinkie. Remember, the category is "Apples". Keep your mind on apples.**Pinkie Pie**: Apples, apples, apples, apples... Ooh, and oranges. And grapes! And strawberries. [gasps] Strawberry cupcakes! I'm hungry.**Granny Smith**: Which variety of apple only blooms for five days?**Rainbow Dash**: [coughs] Don't choke. [whistles]**Applejack**: Now, why would I choke on a question about apples? Uh... What was the question again?**Granny Smith**: You kiddin' me?**Twilight Sparkle**: Come on, Pinkie, you know this one. Mysterious apples? Only around for five days?**Pinkie Pie**: [gasps]- [stomach growls]
**Pinkie Pie**: Quiet down there. Pretty sure there's a rule against tummies ringing in.- [bell rings]
**Fluttershy**: Um, I'm just guessing, but is it zap apples?**Granny Smith**: Finally! Yes, Fluttershy, it is. At least*somepony*here knows her apples.**Bulk Biceps**: Yeah!- [thud]
**Fluttershy**: [weak laugh]- [stomach growls]

**Spike**: One minute left in the refreshment/bathroom break—! Aah!**Twilight Sparkle**: Spike! I don't think I can coach Pinkie well enough for us to get my three-peat! I don't want her to feel bad! She's trying so hard, but I might have to start answering everything myself!**Pinkie Pie**: Look, Twilight! No more belly growl interruptions for Team Twi-Pie! [chomps, gulps]**Spike**: Maybe instead of focusing on Pinkie, you should just focus on how*you're*playing.**Twilight Sparkle**: Or... I should look at how everypony else is playing.**Granny Smith**: Hope you're all in your seats 'cause the break is over, and it is time for more questions. [muttering] Let me see, uh... How do you say "reward" in Olde Ponish?**Pinkie Pie**: [gasps]- [smack!]
- [bell rings]
**Cranky Doodle Donkey**: [snoring]**Sunburst**: "Reward" in Olde Ponish is "*hliet*".**Granny Smith**: Correct!**Twilight Sparkle**:*Sleeping!*- [crowd muttering]
**Twilight Sparkle**: [clears throat] Sunburst's partner is sleeping. And according to rule fifty-seven point six, sleeping on the table is subject to dis-qual-i-fi-ca-tion!**Granny Smith**: Oh, looky here. That's an actual rule. Cranky is disqualified. I'm sorry, Sunburst. Without your teammate, you can't play neither.**Sunburst**: Aw, fine! But I'm counting that as a correct answer! [groans] Can't even stay awake for five minutes...**Twilight Sparkle**: Don't worry, Pinkie. We're not out of this game yet.

**Angel**: [whispering]**Fluttershy**: [gasps]- [bell rings]
**Fluttershy**: Is the answer carrots?**Twilight Sparkle**: Ah! Rule thirteen point two! No help from pets!

**Applejack**: Nyah!**Rainbow Dash**: Nyah!**Twilight Sparkle**: Rule seventy-two point eight! No sticking tongues out at opponents!

**Twilight Sparkle**: Motion to establish new rule! No expressionless contestants!**Granny Smith**: Nice try.**Twilight Sparkle**: Fine.**Granny Smith**: The next category is... "Cupcakes"!**Pinkie Pie**: [gasps] Twilight! I know all about those! You have to let me help!**Twilight Sparkle**: [exhales heavily] Suuuure! Just when we're finally back in the game! [laughs crazily] Why, that sounds perfect, Pinkie, but... Ooh! Isn't that a confetti appreciation parade I see?**Pinkie Pie**: Where?!- [zip!]
**Granny Smith**: What flavor cupcakes did Princess Celestia order for Princess Luna's surprise birthday party last year?**Pinkie Pie**: Wait, what?!- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Double midnight chocolate fudge with chili pepper frosting!**Granny Smith**: Correct!**Pinkie Pie**: Hey! I knew that! I made those cupcakes!**Twilight Sparkle**: Sorry, Pinkie. But you were looking at the parade, and I didn't want our team to miss out on the point.**Pinkie Pie**: I guess that makes sense, but which way did that confetti parade go anyway?

- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: 1547 Pony B.E.!

- [smack!]
- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Vanhoover!

- [splat]
- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Cutie Pox!

- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**:*Bananaaaaas!*

**Granny Smith**: The category is "Sticks and Stones".**Twilight Sparkle**: [brays] I don't know anything about those! That's not any kind of category!**Mudbriar**: Technically, it's a kind of category where*we*know the answers and*you*don't.**Twilight Sparkle**: [hyperventilating]**Pinkie Pie**: Don't worry, fellow Twi-Pie. I grew up on a rock farm. I'm sure I know some of these.**Twilight Sparkle**: [hyperventilating faster]**Granny Smith**: What kind of stone can be used to start a fire?- [bell rings]
**Pinkie Pie**: The black one!**Maud Pie**: The answer is flint.**Pinkie Pie**: Yeah, that one! We both get points, right?**Sunburst**: Sorry, Pinkie. Rule four – answers must be specific and exact. I'd help you if I could. I know this category pretty well.**Twilight Sparkle**: Gee, Pinkie! I forgot the name of that famous rock in Griffonstone. Could you ask Maud?**Pinkie Pie**: You got it! Hey, Maud! What's the name of the famous rock in Griffonstone?**Maud Pie**: Pinkie, you can't ask me that.**Pinkie Pie**: Sure I can. I just did.- [crowd muttering]
**Pinkie Pie**: What?**Granny Smith**: You can't go and ask another player about rocks when that's the category. It's in the rulebook. Where's... Sorry, Pinkie, but you're disqualified.**Pinkie Pie**: What?!- [loud thud]

**Pinkie Pie**: I-I can't believe I'm disqualified! [whines]**Twilight Sparkle**: [laughs nervously] I'm sorry, Pinkie. Guess I forgot about that rule.**Pinkie Pie**: Oh, no! If I'm out, you don't have a partner! You won't be able to get your third win!**Twilight Sparkle**: Actually, since there's another player who has also had his teammate disqualified...**Sunburst**: Rule nineteen point seven B, whereby players whose teammates were disqualified may form a new team.**Pinkie Pie**: Oh. Okay. Um, I'll just cheer you on from... over there.- [balloons deflate]
**Granny Smith**: The next category is "Ancient Legends".**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh, we're gonna crush this round!**Sunburst**: I don't know, Twilight. You seem out of the zone today. But don't worry. I can pick up the slack.**Twilight Sparkle**: What?! I am the reigning Trot champ! If there's any slack that needs picking, I'll be the up! I mean, wait...**Sunburst**: I'm just saying you seem a little frazzled, and I do have a correct answer percentage to maintain.**Granny Smith**: Who traveled to Equestria from a distant land seeking to steal the magic from its pony inhabitants?- [bell rings]
**Twilight Sparkle**: That would be Lord Tirek!- [bell rings]
**Mudbriar**: Technically, that answer is incomplete. The answer is Lord Tirek*and*Scorpan.**Twilight Sparkle**: But Scorpan tried to convince Tirek*not*to do it, so technically he wasn't part of it, even if he started out—! [groans] Never mind.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Look, Sunburst. I realize I may have been a little off earlier, but I'm really good at this game.**Granny Smith**: How many holes are there in Daring Do's hat?- [bell rings]
**Rainbow Dash**: Twenty!**Granny Smith**: Correct!**Rainbow Dash**: Ha!**Sunburst**: Twilight, I knew that one! You just cost us a point*and*the correct answer I needed to boost my percentage!**Twilight Sparkle**: Well, I knew it, too. You're not the only pony to ever read a book, you know?**Sunburst**: You're right, Twilight. I'm sorry. But now that I think about it, I'm not so sure about Dash's answer. Could you do a quick fact check?**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh, I know it's twenty. But if you want proof... Wait! According to rule eighteen point three, I can't check outside reference material.- [teleportation zap]
**Twilight Sparkle**: [gasps] Are you trying to get me disqualified?! What kind of pony would do that to their own teammate?!**Sunburst**: You're right, Twilight. I don't know what got into me. I was so focused on my correct answers, I wasn't thinking straight. Can you forgive me?**Twilight Sparkle**: It's okay, Sunburst. I understand. And I have a teammate of my own to apologize to. Lucky for you, Cranky's awake. And according to rule fifty-seven point six B...**Sunburst**: Players previously disqualified for sleeping may rejoin the game. Provided they're well-rested.**Cranky Doodle Donkey**: [mutters] Where am I? What time is it? Where are my morning haycakes?!**Twilight Sparkle**: Pinkie, you were the best teammate I could ask for, but I let wanting to win keep me from seeing that.**Pinkie Pie**: [scoffs] I knew you wanted to win, but I probably could have helped a little. And even if I couldn't...**Twilight Sparkle**: ...we still could've had fun. I'm so sorry for not realizing it. I got so obsessed with one thing, I forgot what really mattered.**Pinkie Pie**: [sarcastically] No! That doesn't sound like you at all!**Twilight Sparkle**: Well, win or lose, nothing is more important than my friend. Or my team. Twi-Pie forever?**Pinkie Pie**: I-I don't know.**Twilight Sparkle**: I understand. I guess even the Princess of Friendship can mess things up with her friends.**Pinkie Pie**: Oh, it's not that. It's just that I already changed it to Team Twi-Burst, and now I guess I should change it to Sun-Doodle? [chomps]**Twilight Sparkle**: Actually, I have a better idea.

**Twilight Sparkle**: According to rule thirteen point two, players can join the game at any time, provided they start from zero.**Pinkie Pie**: Wow. These rules are really convoluted. But doesn't starting from zero mean we'll lose?**Twilight Sparkle**: Well, our chances aren't good, but the odds of having fun on Team Twi-Pie are one hundred percent!**Granny Smith**: What is the name of the Ponyville Day Spa's most popular candle?- [bell rings]
