Transcripts/Growing Up is Hard to Do

:Apple Bloom: I can't believe we're goin' to the Appleloosa County Fair!
:Sweetie Belle: Animal shows, carnival rides...
:Scootaloo: And all kinds of food on a stick! [slurps]
:[thud]
:Sweetie Belle: Speaking of food, did you pack snacks for the train?
:Scootaloo: For there and back.
:Apple Bloom: And our train tickets are all set.
:Sweetie Belle: And I've got our whole itinerary planned!
:Apple Bloom: Are you sure you're not Twilight's sister?
:Apple Bloom and Scootaloo: [laugh]
:Scootaloo: Weeks of planning has all come down to this. All we have to do now is wait for our chaperone to get here.
:Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: Mm-hmm!
:[pause]
:Apple Bloom: So when's Rainbow Dash comin'?
:Scootaloo: I thought you were gonna ask Applejack.
:Apple Bloom: [to Sweetie Belle] I don't suppose you asked Rarity?
:Sweetie Belle: You mean we spent all this time planning a trip, and none of us asked anypony to take us?!
:Scootaloo: In our defense, every other part of the trip was planned really well.
:[clatter]
:
:Sweetie Belle: We really did think of everything except finding somepony to take us, and the fair is only today!
:Rarity: I'm sorry, darlings, but I can't possibly go to Appleloosa. I promised to deliver a new design to Fancy Pants for his Monocle and Top Hat Appreciation Society soiree.
:Sweetie Belle: Can't you finish it tomorrow?
:[smack!]
:Rarity: Well, I could. But you'll learn as you get older how important it is to keep your promises, especially when running a business.
:Sweetie Belle: Maybe we should just go by ourselves?
:Rarity: What?! Oh, my dear, no! Appleloosa is far too long a train ride for young foals without accompaniment. You could end up in the wrong place entirely. Why don't you see if Rainbow Dash is free?
:Rainbow Dash: Sorry, but I just heard from Spitfire that a whole bunch of storm clouds got loose from the cloud factory, and she needs every Wonderbolt to help bust 'em.
:Scootaloo: Aw, come on, Rainbow Dash! They won't miss one pony! And we really want to go to the fair! Apparently we're too young to go alone.
:Rainbow Dash: Well, duh. Young ponies like you could get lost and never find your way back. But I still can't go. Being a Wonderbolt isn't just about showing off. It's also a responsibility. You'll understand when you get older. I'm sure you'll find somepony else to take you.
:Applejack: I wish I could, sugarcube. But Big Mac's not feelin' well today.
:Apple Bloom: Awww. But Big Mac's old enough to take care of himself, and we'd all have so much fun together.
:Applejack: Sometimes takin' care of somepony is more important than havin' fun. Speakin' of which, don't you even think about tryin' to go without a grown pony there to take care of you. You could end up in hot water or worse.
:Apple Bloom: We know.
:Scootaloo: The fair could be over before we find somepony to take us.
:Apple Bloom: But then we thought of you, since the fair will be full of all sorts of animals and creatures.
:Fluttershy: I'm sorry, but Twilight has an important magical research project, and she's asked for my help.
:Sweetie Belle: I guess that means Twilight's busy, too?
:Twilight Sparkle: I'm afraid I am. Star Swirl sent me this enchanted flower, and it isn't doing well. If I figure out its magical properties, maybe we can save it.
:Scootaloo: So that's a "no" on going with us to the fair?
:Apple Bloom: We've already asked Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity, and none of them can come.
:Sweetie Belle: And everypony made it clear we're too young to go on our own.
:Twilight Sparkle: Oh, definitely. You could take the wrong train or miss your stop...
:Fluttershy: Or get lost in a strange town and end up in a dangerous situation with nopony to help you.
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: We know!
:Twilight Sparkle: I know it's hard, but sometimes you just can't do what you want.
:Scootaloo: I'm pretty sure if you wanted to go to the fair, you could.
:Twilight Sparkle: Sure, grown-ups can do a lot of things that foals can't. But there's plenty we can't do either. Like right now, I can't find a single reference to this flower!
:Fluttershy: None of the birds or insects I've talked to have heard of it either.
:Twilight Sparkle: I wonder if there's anything in Shadetail Evergreen's Tome of Flora and Fauna?
:Fluttershy: That book's pretty out of date, but it might be worth a try.
:Twilight Sparkle: I think there's a copy in the library filed under "Discontinued But Still Potentially Useful Ancient Texts". Unless I put it under "Hokum With a Slight Chance of Practical Applications".
:Apple Bloom: I guess this flower is the most interestin' thing we're gonna see today.
:Scootaloo: Unless you count watching Twilight struggle to remember how she organizes her books.
:Sweetie Belle: I bet every pony in Equestria is in Appleloosa right now.
:Apple Bloom: Every pony but us.
:Scootaloo: I wish we didn't have to wait to grow up.
:[magic sounds]
:Apple Bloom: I wish it would happen all at once. Then we'd know everything we need to get to the fair and back with no problem.
:[louder magic sounds]
:Sweetie Belle: I just wish we were as old as our sisters. Then nopony could tell us what to do, and we'd be able to take care of ourselves.
:[even louder magic sounds]
:Scootaloo: Hey, Sweetie Belle, why's your face all lit up?
:[high-pitched humming]
:[zap!]
:[whooshing]
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: [whimpering]
:[whooshing stops]
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: [groan]
:Apple Bloom: [gasps]
:Sweetie Belle: [gasps]
:Scootaloo: [gasps]
:[shatter!]
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: [gasp]
:Scootaloo: Do you know what this means?
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: We can go to the fair! [laugh]
:Scootaloo: [laughing]
:Apple Bloom: I hope you brought the tickets. We've gotta hurry if we're going to make the train.
:Sweetie Belle: I think we'll be fine. Check out how fast we're going! Grown-up legs are strong!
:Scootaloo: You're not kidding!
:[rattling]
:Scootaloo: I don't know how much of this my scooter can take!
:[ponies gasp]
:Apple Bloom: And nopony yelled at us to slow down even once! Being a grown-up is great!
:[pocketwatch ticking]
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: [panting]
:[train whistle blows]
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: [sigh]
:Sweetie Belle: We made it!
:Apple Bloom: Of course we did! We're grown-up ponies now! We can do anything! And all those worries Twilight and the others had don't apply anymore. Because we're big! And bein' big is all it takes!
:[train chugging]
:[brakes hiss]
:[train chugging]
:Scootaloo: I think I ate too many snacks.
:Sweetie Belle: Uh, this doesn't look like Appleloosa.
:"Loose Tracks": That's because it isn't...
:[creaking]
:Apple Bloom: You all heard that, right?
:Sweetie Belle: Uh, hello? [to Apple Bloom and Scootaloo] Do you think we got on the wrong train?
:Scootaloo: I thought trains just took you where you wanted to go.
:"Loose Tracks": [laughing]
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: [scream]
:"Loose Tracks": Sorry, I don't mean to laugh. But you three must not travel much. This is Hayseed Junction. The train to Appleloosa isn't for a few hours. Or you could set off on hoof. It's treacherous and confusing! Unfit for the young or timid! But you three are grown-ups. You'll be fine. I'll write down some directions.
:Sweetie Belle: Maybe we should wait for the train.
:Scootaloo: And miss the fair?!
:Sweetie Belle: We already ended up in the wrong place, which is exactly what we were warned about. And what if we can't follow the directions?
:Apple Bloom: Come on. We didn't come all this way for nothin'. Besides, I've been through a swamp as a young pony. As a grown-up, it'll be a snap.
:Scootaloo: Grown-ups always know the way!
:Sweetie Belle: Because being big is all it takes!
:"Loose Tracks": [laughs maniacally, hacks, inhales] Sorry. I've got kind of a throat thing.
:[montage music]
:[splash]
:[bufogren croaks]
:Scootaloo: Aah!
:[splash]
:[vines stretch, recoil]
:[bubbling]
:[splashing]
:Scootaloo: Sweetie Belle, are you sure this is the right way?
:[wind whistling]
:[branches creaking]
:Scootaloo: Sweetie Belle?
:[bushes rustle]
:Sweetie Belle: Scootaloo?
:Scootaloo: Aah!
:[thud]
:Scootaloo: Don't do that!
:Apple Bloom: Girls?
:[snap!]
:[thud]
:Apple Bloom: Maybe we should head back to the station.
:Sweetie Belle: I'm not sure we can. I think we're lost.
:Scootaloo: Just like Twilight and the others said!
:Spur: Well, where were you when I was feeding and caring for him?!
:[bushes rustle]
:Biscuit: [screams] Wild swamp ponies!
:"Spring Green" and "Savage Honeydew": Hmph!
:Sweetie Belle: We're not wild swamp ponies. We're just grown-ups.
:Scootaloo: And we are definitely not lost.
:Spur: Okay. But that swamp is pretty confusing if you're not from around here. I'm Spur, and this is Biscuit.
:[rattling]
:Apple Bloom: I'm Apple Bloom. Nice to meet you. But, uh, we're not confused. We're just... explorin' new ways to Appleloosa.
:Biscuit: Hey, that's where we're going!
:Spur: No, it isn't!
:Sweetie Belle: Uh, which is it?
:Spur: Biscuit thinks he can just take Bloofy here to the fair.
:Biscuit: Why not? It's just up the road. And Bloofy's my pet, too.
:Spur: Since when?! Bloofy's never even seen a crowd! Which you'd know if you ever took care of him!
:Biscuit: Did you ever think meeting all those ponies might be good for him?
:Bloofy: [chittering]
:Apple Bloom: He seems okay meetin' us.
:Biscuit: See? They're grown-ups, and they get it. Bloofy should totally come to the fair with me, right?
:Spur: Y'all don't really think that, do ya?
:Sweetie Belle: Um... Hold on. Us grown-ups need to confer. [to Apple Bloom and Scootaloo] What do you girls think?
:Scootaloo: If they go to the fair, we can tag along!
:Apple Bloom: And Spur probably should share Bloofy. I mean, that's somethin' a grown-up would say, right?
:Sweetie Belle: As grown-up ponies, we think you should share Bloofy and let Biscuit take him to the fair.
:Biscuit: That is some quality grown-up advice!
:Bloofy: [chittering]
:Spur: But Bloofy's never been around anything that exciting. What if something goes wrong?
:Apple Bloom: We're headed to the fair, too. Since we're such great advice givers, feel free to ask us for more.
:[ponies chattering]
:[horseshoe clangs]
:[splash!]
:[ponies laughing]
:Sweetie Belle: [laughs] It's everything I thought it'd be!
:Bloofy: [squealing]
:Passerby Pony: Well, my goodness, what an interesting critter! You should enter him in the animal showcase. You'd be sure to win "Most Interesting Creature"!
:Biscuit: Animals showcase? That's exactly what we should do!
:Spur: That seems like a bad idea. What do you grown-ups think?
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: [laugh]
:[thunk!]
:[bell rings]
:[ponies cheer]
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: [laugh]
:Sweetie Belle: Whoo-hoo! Whoo-whoo!
:[splat]
:Spur: What happened to being able to ask your advice?! You ran off the second we got here!
:Scootaloo: [gulps]
:Apple Bloom: Where's Biscuit and Bloofy?
:Spur: That's why I came to find you.
:[fanfare]
:[ponies chattering]
:Spur: It's one thing to bring Bloofy to the fair, but it's another to stick him in a showcase!
:Biscuit: What's the big deal?
:Sweetie Belle: You are supposed to be sharing him.
:Scootaloo: Yeah, I'm with Biscuit. The showcase looks like fun.
:Spur: Sorry if I think taking care of Bloofy is more important than having fun!
:Bloofy: [shrieking]
:Biscuit: Bloofy's just excited. He probably just wants to get out.
:Bloofy: [chitters, sniffs]
:Apple Bloom: Are you sure you're not just upset you have to share him? What if you took a little break?
:Spur: You mean, like, leave?
:Sweetie Belle: If sharing him is too hard, that might be the best thing. Take our word for it. We are grown-ups.
:Apple Bloom: I don't know what Spur's so worried about. Bloofy and Biscuit are havin' fun.
:Scootaloo: Yeah. What could go wrong?
:Bloofy: [chittering]
:[ponies cheering]
:Bloofy: [squealing]
:[whooshing]
:Scootaloo: Me and my big grown-up mouth.
:[ponies screaming]
:[whooshing]
:Apple Bloom: Do you think this qualifies as gettin' into a dangerous situation with no grown pony to help us?
:[cow moos]
:Sweetie Belle: I think we're the grown ponies that need to be helping today!
:Scootaloo: Bloofy! Treats, treats, treats! Who wants a treat?
:[whooshing continues]
:[teleportation zap]
:Biscuit: What do we do now?!
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: Run!
:[train whistle blows]
:Fluttershy: I hope you're right about the girls coming here.
:Twilight Sparkle: Well, once we read Shadetail Evergreen's warning that the flower grants wishes, it wasn't a stretch to think they wished themselves to the fair. It's all they were talking about.
:Fluttershy: Or maybe, since we told them they were too young to come, they wished to become grown-ups, then came here and caused some kind of trouble that led to a town-wide panic!
:[distant screaming]
:Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. Or that.
:Apple Bloom: Twilight! Fluttershy! Thank goodness! I know you're not gonna believe it, but it's me, Apple Bloom!
:Scootaloo: And I'm Scootaloo! We kinda got turned into grown-ups!
:Sweetie Belle: And we thought we could take the train here, since we were old enough, but we ended up in the wrong place, just like you said we would!
:Apple Bloom: And got lost!
:Scootaloo: Just like you said we would!
:Apple Bloom: Then we met these foals who led us to the fair, and we tried to give them some grown-up-style advice, but it turned their pet into a tornado that might destroy the whole town!
:[whooshing]
:Fluttershy: Goodness! A Whirling Mungtooth! They are very rare and just the cutest little things when they're not excited.
:[crash!]
:Fluttershy: This one's excited.
:Scootaloo: How do we calm him down?
:Fluttershy: When they're young, a Mungtooth forms a tight bond with its caretaker. They're the only ones who can get them to stop spinning.
:Biscuit: Spur's the one who really took care of Bloofy. We have to find her!
:Twilight Sparkle: You all go look for Spur. Fluttershy and I will do our best to keep everypony here safe.
:[teleportation zap]
:[ewe bleats]
:Spur: That's Bloofy?!
:[teleportation zap]
:Biscuit: I'm so sorry, Spur. You knew what was best for him all along.
:Apple Bloom: And even though we seem like grown-ups, you were way more responsible than us.
:Spur: What do you mean, "seem" like grown-ups?
:Sweetie Belle: Uh, we don't have time to explain. Right now we have to stop this, and you're the only one who can do it.
:Spur: How?
:Fluttershy: I'll show you. He mostly just needs to see you.
:Spur: Hey there, Bloofy-boo. It's okay.
:[whooshing stops]
:Bloofy: [squeals, chitters]
:Spur: How did you know what to do?
:Fluttershy: After years of experience with animals, I've picked up a few things.
:Spur: Well, one thing's for sure. Bloofy definitely earned the "Most Interesting Creature" prize.
:Biscuit: I'm sorry I didn't listen to you.
:Apple Bloom: We all are.
:Spur: I guess grown-ups aren't always perfect.
:Twilight Sparkle: They sure aren't, but young foals pretending to be grown-ups are even less so.
:Spur: What do you mean?
:Twilight Sparkle: There's only one petal left. But I think the three of you know what to wish for. And I'm pretty sure Star Swirl won't mind.
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: We wish we were foals again.
:[magic sounds]
:Biscuit: Hold on! You three are actually younger than us?!
:Sweetie Belle: The flower turned us into grown-ups, so we figured we could do whatever we wanted. But I guess that's not exactly true.
:Apple Bloom: We did everything real grown-ups told us not to and caused all kinds of trouble.
:Scootaloo: And things could have been a lot worse. I guess we were pretty selfish.
:Twilight Sparkle: I'm glad you learned something. That's what growing up is. Which is why you probably shouldn't skip any of it.
:Sweetie Belle: I know we didn't make the best impression, but we sure would like to visit you and Bloofy some day.
:Spur: I guess that'd be okay, on one condition. You get a real grown-up to bring you.
:Cutie Mark Crusaders: Deal!
:All: [laughing]
