Transcripts/Dance of the Equestria Flares

:September 27, 2020
:Celestia: [rhythmically] To the right! To the right! To the left! To the left! Now up! Now up! Bring it down! Spin it around! Wash that car as you mean it! Come on!
:[water rushing]
:[blow dryer whirring]
:[squeaking]
:[Hideyoshi membayar upah cuci mobil]
:Jason: Ha! Thanks, Mr. Hideyoshi.
:[mobil melaju pergi]
:Jason: Sweet! More cash to add to the stash!
:Celestia: Woo-hoo!
:Jason: How about a little break? All of this sunshine and suds are doing a number on my hair.
:Rest of the Petrovburg Heroes: [agree]
:Jason: Hey, has anybody seen Luna lately?
:Luna: I'm here, guys. I was just going over the numbers.
:Martin: Have we raised enough to make all the repairs to Camp Everfree?
:Luna: We've only raised half. I counted the money four times just to be sure.
:Rest of the Petrovburg Heroes: [groan]
:Dennis: It's all right. We can just wash more cars. There's gotta be some we missed.
:[wind blowing]
:Martin: I, uh, think we're gonna have to come up with a new plan.
:Jason: But we're running out of time! The camp fundraising deadline is next week: Tia's already hosted a bake sale, Luna and Vincent had that doggie daycare, Princess Martin and I planned this car wash.
:Tobias: Not to worry, guys. It's my turn to devise a plan, and I already have something amazing in mind. It will be the most profitable of all of our fundraising events! [Dutch accent] The "stukje verzet"!
:Dennis: Hee-yoo! Now we're talkin'! What's your idea?
:Tobias: Meet me in the music room later this afternoon, and I will explain everything.
:Jason: Uh-huh!
:Celestia: Hee-hee!
:Spike: You got nothin', huh?
:Tobias: How did you know?!
LMB theme song
:Tobias: Astaghfirullah. Three hours and still no ideas for a lucrative last-minute fundraiser. Usually, window shopping inspires me.
:TV announcer: Are you a musician?
:Tobias: Hmm?
:TV announcer: Do you and friends love to dance?
:Tobias: Yes.
:TV announcer: Are you unique, cool, stylish?
:Tobias: Yes, yes, yes, and... obviously!
:TV announcer: Do you want to win a cash prize?
:Tobias: Yes!
:TV announcer: Then enter the "Chance to France" Competition at the Canterlot Mall! All you need is a music video of your own original song and dance. Then you could be prancing your way to first prize! Sign up now at the booth near the Applejack smoothie kiosk.
:[screech]
:Tobias: Oh, France Girls, we're certain to win!
:Cecil Lulamoon: [sweetly] Toby, what a nice surprise! [sourly] Not.
:Tobias: [gasps] Cecil! Zaynab! Why, it's been ages.
:Husniati: It's only been a few months since the Friendship Games.
:Tobias: Is that all? Wow! [giggles] How is everything over at Seborga High School?
:Zaynab: Oh, things at Seborga High have never been better since Mr. Zoey took over as our principal.
:Cecil Lulamoon: Yeah. He's going to let us have the spring dance on a yacht if we raise the money.
:Tobias: Ooh, sounds divine.
:Roman: Are you signing up for the "Chance to France" contest, too?
:Tobias: Princess Roman of Sunset Shimmer?! Heh-heh. Are you and your friends here to sign up for the competition?
:Husniati: We definitely aren't here because we like standing in lines.
:Cecil Lulamoon: I assume you already have a video concept figured out. The competition's going to be pretty fierce.
:Tobias: Yes, Lady Cecil. It came to me as soon as I saw that gorgeous red ruffled ensemble on the way over here.
:Cecil Lulamoon: Oh. Tell me more.
:Tobias: Oh! Well, each personnel of the V-Rainbooms is going to dance in a different style – like flamenco, hip-hop, or street ballet – and we'll wear costumes to match each gender. Designed by yours truly, of course. [giggles]
:Husniati: That sounds like a very good concept.
:Cecil Lulamoon: Yeah, heh, I guess it's okay. If you're going for way too over-the-top.
:Tobias: Thanks! So, what's your concept?
:Husniati: Nothing. We don't have one yet.
:Cecil Lulamoon: What she means is it's a surprise! But it's a-ma-zing. So original.
:Tobias: Oh, well, I can't wait to see it. Good luck!
:Cecil Lulamoon: You, too!
:Tobias: See? It's a wonderful plan. We'll write some lyrics for our new song, and we'll choreograph some dance moves. Then our video will win a cash prize, and... ¡voilà!
:Dennis: You make it sound simple as pie.
:Tobias: That's because it is! France girls even agree. They're making a video, too.
:Luna: They are?
:Tobias: I-is that a problem, buddy?
:Luna: Hmmm... that's not. Just haven't heard much about that French-stylized high school since Princess Roman joined, I guess.
:Spike: Well, if you ask me, Seborga High has got nothin' on our Canterlot Presidentials! I love it here! [shudders] See what I mean?
:Tobias: Okay, before we get started with the choreographing of our dance moves and— [mumbling], there's just one tiny, teeny-weensey, little thing I forgot to mention.
:Martin: What's that, Lady Toby?
:Tobias: Uhhhh... [quickly] I would need to use our fundraiser money to buy costume materials for the video!
:Martin: Hmm. How much is the grand prize worth?
:Tobias: More than double what we need to fix up Camp Everfree!
:Jason: Ha! Then of course you can use the money for costumes!
:Dennis: [sighs] Oh, what the hell? Why not?
:Jason: Cool!
:Celestia: Whee-hee!
:Luna: According to my calculations, if we lend Lady Toby the funds we've already raised, we stand to gain four times as much money as we have now.
:Rest of the Petrovburg Heroes: [cheering]
:Luna: But if we lose the video contest, we'll be completely back to square one and zero rupiahs. Does anyone else think this is an awfully risky endeavor? I mean, um, heh... Me neither.
:Tobias: All right, guys. Who's ready to shoot our winning dance music video?
:Rest of the Petrovburg Heroes: [cheering]
:Tobias: [laughs] Looks like I have some fabric shopping to do!
:[in the rehearsal]
:Tobias: Let's take it from the top one more time. Jason, don't forget your cue. It's when Vincent does his triple pirouette, okay?
:[beep]
:Tobias: And... action!
:["Dance Flares" instrumental playing]
:Martin and Vincent: [grunting]
:Tobias: Cut!
:[record scratch]
:Jason: Hey! What happened to the music?
:Tobias: Vincent, it's supposed to be a triple pirouette.
:Spike: [yawns]
:Vincent: I know. It's just that... um... uh, I-I don't think I can do one of those.
:Tobias: Buddy, of course you can. I believe in you.
:Spike: How about you try "jazz paws" instead?
:Martin: Heh. Thanks, Spike. But all these moves are pretty hard.
:Tobias: Oh, I know. But if we want to win, we have to bring our game!
:Luna: Princess Roman and her Seborga High friends certainly will. They're excellent dancers, and you know how they love to compete.
:Dennis: How about we forget about the other teams and get back to dancin'?
:Celestia: Great idea, Dennis!
:Vincent: [imitating synth drums] It's really fun! [imitating synth drums] I haven't stopped this whole time! [pants]
:Tobias: Let's take it from Jason's entrance. [sighs] And... action!
:["Dance Flares" instrumental playing]
:Jason: [grunting]
:Martin: Whoa!
:Tobias: Oh! Oh! This is a disaster!
:Martin: Whoops. Sorry, Lady Toby.
:Tobias: [to Martin] Oh. Well, I can fix it, but I'll have to run to the fabric store before it closes. [to the rest of her friends] Keep practicing while I'm gone! Ahhh!
:[a few inches later...]
:Tobias: Oh, Alhamdulillah! I budgeted for backup fabric.
:[dance music]
:[Seborga High Girls dancing together]
:Tobias: [gasps] Is that a disco-inspired look? And a street ballet tutu?! I don't believe it. The France Girls stole my brilliant idea!
:[in the Ratnasari House]
:[sewing machine whirring]
:[knock knock knock knock]
:Celestia: Lady Toby! We're here!
:Luna: We got your text. You said it was an emergency?
:Dennis: Everythin' all right, sugarcube?
:Tobias: Well, since you asked... [sobbing] the answer is no!
:Vincent: Masha Allah! What happened, Lady Toby?
:Tobias: [through tears] Cecil... and her... Seborga... High friends stole our video concept! [sniffs] I saw them filming at the mall. They copied my design ideas and everything! So of course they looked absolutely fabulous. But the worst part is that they're all incredible dancers!
:Celestia: [gasps] Major bummer in the summer! Tissue for the issue?
:Tobias: [sniffs] Ta. [blows nose] Everyone is counting on me, on the video to win us the prize money for the camp. [sighs] Oh, how could I have been such a fool?! Of course, those France Girls stole my concept! I practically served it to them on a platter!
:Luna: Don't be too hard on yourself, Lady Toby. It's gonna take more than the Friendship Games for Princess Roman and her Seborga High friends to learn that winning isn't everything.
:Dennis: Eh, maybe this was all for the best.
:Tobias: Hmm? W-What do you mean?
:Dennis: Uh, your concept and costumes are really awesome, but, uh... our dancin'...
:Martin: Not so much.
:Tobias: [giggles] We could barely get in a two-step without trippin' over each other's boots. [laughs]
:The Petrovburg Heroes: [laughing]
:Celestia: You can say that again!
:Tobias: Nonsense! You all looked great! [sighs] Okay, maybe not great, but, but... but it was getting there! And the point is we don't have to let them win! That is our video concept! And I am going straight to Seborga High to let them know that they have messed with the wrong guys! Mmm! Who's with me?!
:[silence]
:Tobias: [clears throat] No, n-no, seriously, who is with me? I have no idea how to get to Seborga High.
:Luna: I'll go, lady. Maybe I can try to reason with them. Of course, Princess Roman is my rival girl.
:Tobias: That's the spirit, Luna! Come on!
:[spy music]
:Tobias: Okay, where's the dance studio?
:Luna: Sunset Shimmer Office, by the way.
:Tobias: Didn't you go to this campus yesterday?
:Luna: Yes, I was tasked by Aunt Camilla to rescue Spike and meet Mrs. Keith here.
:[dance music]
:Tobias: Wait, shhh. That's their music. Bingo!
:[in Sunset Shimmer Office]
:Cecil Lulamoon: Hey, girls! So what did you think of our routine? Scared yet?
:[bump!]
:Luna: Don't change the subject, Lady Cecil!
:Roman: But you didn't bring up a subject.
:Tobias: You either, Princess Roman!
:Cecil Lulamoon: Ooookay...
:Tobias: You know why we're here! You stole... our music video idea! Now... change your concept, or else!
:Cecil Lulamoon: Sorry, heh, but we can't.
:Seborga High Girls: [laughing]
:Luna: And... Zaynab, why is that?
:Zaynab: Because we care about winning, Luna!
:Cecil Lulamoon: And we will because we're just about to submit our video.
:Seborga High Girls: [laughing]
:Tobias: You're what? [stammers] It doesn't matter! Because we are still doing our video the way we planned!
:Cecil Lulamoon: Go ahead. But there's just one flaw in your little plan.
:Roman: By the time you submit yours, it'll just look like you copied us.
:Husniati: [to Roman] That's right, Sunset! [to Luna and Tobias] Except the worst version.
:[dance music resumes]
:[]
:Tobias: Oh, this is all my fault! All the money we raised is gone, and now we have no music video! I should never have convinced you all that we could pull this off in so little time!
:Jason: Are you crazy, lady? We're great at doing stuff super-fast. I mean, look at Tia. She just built that embassy office made entirely out of chocolate bars while we were talking.
:Celestia: [chomps, gulps] Want some, lady?
:Tobias: What I want is a new video concept!
:Celestia: Eh. [chomps]
:Jason: So let's create one!
:Tobias: Really?
:The Petrovburg Heroes (except Tobias): [agreeing]
:Martin: I'm sure if we all put our heads together, we'll come up with something even better than before.
:Tobias: Okay. I suppose it's worth a try.
:[zip]
:Celestia: I think it's working!
:Dennis: Yeah! I-I got somethin'! Okay, so we're in home-eco class—
:Tobias: Aah!
:Dennis: —bakin' some Latvian apple pies! And then, a fresh batch comes outta the oven. [sniffs] And everybody's havin' a great time!
:The Petrovburg Heroes (except Tobias): [conversing]
:Tobias: Wait. So basically, we are eating pastries at the campus in our music video?
:Dennis: [laughs] Uh, I guess I'm just kinda hungry.
:Tobias: Does anyone have another idea?
:Jason: Oh, oh! I do! So... we're in the middle of the jungle. And we're being chased by henchmen who are shooting poison arrows at us!
:The Petrovburg Heroes (except Tobias): [screaming]
:Jason: When suddenly, out of nowhere, the shadow of a giant beast appears!
:[Ahuizotl roars]
:Luna: Wait for a second! Isn't this a scene from the latest Italy Hospodines book?
:Jason: [laughs] Oh, yeah. That's why it seemed so cool. Never mind.
:Celestia: Okay! I've got it!
:Tobias: [screams] Please, Celestia, do tell.
:Celestia: We'll start out on... the moon! And we'll be wearing really sparkly costumes. No, wait! We'll be in spacesuits! We're surrounded by gorgonzola cheese! But then, a space doggie walks over and starts to eat the cheese!
:Spike: Mmm! Rich with buttery undertones.
:The Petrovburg Heroes (except Tobias): [giggle]
:Tobias: Stop! This will never work! [frustrated noise]
:Celestia: Aw, why not?
:Tobias: [grumbles] Because the contest is for dance music videos, and not one of your ideas included dancing at all!
:Celestia: But they were pretty funny, huh? [giggles] I liked yours, Jason!
:Jason: Thanks, Tia!
:Tobias: [growls]
:Rest of the Petrovburg Heroes: [startled]
:Vincent: La– Lady, are you okay?
:Tobias: [in great rage] Okay? No! I am not okay! The contest deadline is tomorrow, and we have just been wasting time!
:[Tobias leaves]
:[in Solvedos Cafe]
:Tobias: [crying and sobbing] Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom. [resumes crying] Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom.
:Zaynab: [Turkish accent] Hayır. It's no use, Cecil. Why are we even still trying?
:Cecil Lulamoon: Because the deadline hasn't passed. We can still come up with an original song to replace the Scottish outfits one we've been practicing our choreography with.
:Husniati: That's highly unlikely.
:Roman: Why did we tell Toby that we already submitted our video?
:Cecil Lulamoon: So that we can still use her concept. Toby is creative. She'll come up with something else. But if we don't, we have nothing. And imagine what our classmates would say.
:Roman: For the sake of Sunset Shimmer, they'll say it's our fault the spring dance had to be held in the boring old auditorium instead of on a yacht like we promised.
:Cecil Lulamoon: Exactly.
:Roman: Oh. They just don't want to disappoint their classmates.
:Husniati: But Luna and his friends have a band. They'll surely have a killer original song, and we don't.
:Cecil Lulamoon: [Russian accent] Nyet!
:Zaynab: [Turkish accent] Haydi bastır! Face it, Cecil! We're doomed!
:Tobias: [clears throat] Excuse me, France Girls.
:Cecil Lulamoon: To– Toby! Uh, how long have you been over there?
:Tobias: Long enough to hear that you have no original song.
:Husniati: Like I said. Doomed. [sips]
:Tobias: [chuckles, clears throat] Maybe you're not. Look, I know our teams haven't been getting along too well lately. But I think I have a solution where everybody wins.
:Cecil Lulamoon: We're listening.
:[]
:Dennis: So what's the big plan you were excited about?
:The Petrovburg Heroes: [gasp, awed reactions]
:Martin: Aren't Roman and her Seborga High girls using this video idea now?
:Tobias: They are, yes. But so are we! Guys, you can come out now! I know it's hard to believe, but these France Girls here helped me to realize that competing against one another was getting us nowhere.
:Roman: And Toby helped show us that winning was the only thing driving us. We didn't even care if we had to steal to accomplish it.
:Cecil Lulamoon: But that's not who we are. Anymore.
:Tobias: These France Girls have offered to help with dance moves if we'll help them with an original song.
:Husniati: Combining our talents is the most logical thing to do.
:Zaynab: [Turkish accent] Çok güzel. Perfect. We'll make one epic music video together.
:Tobias: So, what do you guys think? Are you in?
:The Petrovburg Heroes: Ummmmm...
:Celestia: Best! Music! Video! Idea ever!
:The Petrovburg Heroes and the Seborga High Girls: [laughing]
:Vincent: We can start by teaching you the words to our song.
:Zaynab: But this is just about the Friheten Rainbooms. There's nothing about us in the lyrics.
:Vincent: Yet. Wanna help me make some changes?
:Tobias: Anybody else care to work on some music?
:Cecil Lulamoon: We'll get to it after I teach you some dance moves.
:Tobias: Music first.
:Cecil Lulamoon: Dance first.
:Tobias: Music first!
:Cecil Lulamoon: Dance first!
:Tobias: Music first!
:Cecil Lulamoon: Dance first!
:Husniati: The order is irrelevant.
:Tobias: Oh, yeah?
:Tobias and Cecil Lulamoon: [laughing]
:[]
:Tobias: Lights!
:Cecil Lulamoon: Camera!
:Tobias Action!
LMB song: Dance Flares

:All our friends are right by our side
:It doesn't matter what style you bring

:It's dance flares, once you have it
:Let your body move, step into the music
:It's dance flares, and it's electric
:Let your body move to the music
:[Celestia]
:[rapping] Doesn't matter what style you got
:Just keep dancin' on that spot
:Your friends like you for who you are
:Dance flares, on the scene, superstar!
:Bristol preps, you got the moves
:V-Rainboom bringin' all the grooves
:Put it together and make it fit:
:Equestria Flares, dance flares!

:Bring whatever style you got
:'Cause the party is goin' off
:It's dance flares, and it's electric
:Let your body move to the music
:[]
:Dennis: Yee-hoo! We've got enough to make Camp Everfree look just like new! [to Roman] Right, princess?
:Roman: We're having the spring dance on a yacht!
:[Dennis-Roman high five]
:Celestia: Who's up for a celebratory Applejack smoothie?!
:The Petrovburg Heroes and the Seborga High Girls: [cheering]
:[The Petrovburg Heroes and the Seborga High Girls rushed]
:Tobias: [gasps] Ohhh-ho-ho-ho-ho! I have just had the most brilliant idea! Maybe Seborga High could use an award-winning band to play at their spring dance? It'll be the perfect way to show off our new dance moves!
:Cecil Lulamoon: That would be amazing! Of course, then we'd have a new dilemma to deal with.
:Tobias: Oh, no. What?
:Cecil Lulamoon: Figuring out what we're all gonna wear?
:Tobias: Oh, I already have some ideas that I'd be willing to share.
:Cecil Lulamoon: Me, too.
:Tobias and Cecil Lulamoon: [laughing]
