Colin suggests that it's for the best and points out the video's comments, one of which calls the video the "funniest thing I've ever seen". The Crusaders take this to mean they should try comedy and runoff.

==Personality==
===Benedict Ratnasari===
Benedict is Tobias' young sister in the name of "Ratnasari Sisters". She is one of the founding members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders – a club/"secret" society devoted to helping the Petrovs earn their cutie marks, along with Colin and Jerry. Benedict is very kindhearted and innocent. Despite this, she is often mischievous, vain, naive, and impetuous. However, Benedict remains positive and well-meaning in times of crisis, especially if she is responsible.
====Benedict's fraternity relations====
Benedict deeply admires her older sister – Tobias, and tries to show her devotion by helping Tobias with her work and chores. Despite her good intentions, Benedict's efforts are frequently disastrous, much to the dismay of Tobias. In the Friendship Games, Benedict is prepared to spend an entire week with Tobias but her burning desire to do something nice for her sister results in one disaster after another and creates tension between them. Through Dennis' help, Tobias learns of the give-and-take nature of sisterly relationships, and she and Benedict compete together in the Friendship Games.
===Colin Idmayanti===
As a member of the Applejack Family, Colin is Dennis' young sister and the young daughter of Mr. Hideyoshi and Mrs. Maria Applejack. She is one of the founding members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders – a club/"secret" society devoted to helping the Petrovs earn their cutie marks, along with Benedict and Jerry.
====Colin's fraternity relations====
Despite her independence, Colin is very close to Dennis, and enjoys helping her with the farm chores, as well as competing with her in the Friendship Games. While being briefly estranged from Tobias, Benedict spends most of her first visiting day helping Colin and Dennis with their chores, and points out how competently the two work together. After noticing how well synchronized the two sisters were in order to herd the sheep, Benedict Belle is amazed at how well they work together, and says that they worked as if they were just girls. Colin states that she always participates at the Friendship Games alongside her sister, but she openly lets Benedict borrow Dennis. She does, however, stress to Benedict that she's only willing to lend Dennis to her for one day.
===Jerry Scootaloo===
She is a talented scooter driver that idolizes her own brother – Jason, and develops a fraternity bond with him although she and Jason are not related. She is one of the founding members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders – a club/"secret" society devoted to helping the Petrovs earn their cutie marks, along with Benedict and Colin.
====Jerry's fraternity relations====
Jerry is energetic and tomboyish – much like to Jason. She complains about having to listen to "sappy" and "namby-pamby" stories. However, like the other Crusaders, she finds the romance charming between Mr. Hideyoshi and Mrs. Nate. Although she and Jason aren't related, Jerry views Jason as an older brother throughout the series, much in the same way that Colin and Benedict look up to their older sisters; Dennis and Tobias, respectively.
