## Plot

At a television/movie studio, the Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and the Shintaro Crystal Guardians sneak into Finn Tastic's trailer to meet with him. They explain that they made a fake Trail Trotters troop in order to help Fluttershy meet him, and Finn understands and agrees to meet Fluttershy. When the Ninja, the ponies, Megan and the Crystal Quartet bring Fluttershy, she becomes elated to meet her favorite celebrity, but Finn reveals that Fluttershy did not actually win the Trail Trotters contest and that her friends lied to her, causing her to run off in tears. Finn explains to the other ponies that he values honesty and that even though Fluttershy is hurt, revealing the truth is for the best.

Fluttershy wanders the studio hurt and angered by her friends' deception, but she slowly comes to the realization that even though her friends' troop was fake, the laughs and memories she made with her friends were real, even the former troopers who were lost at first, and they still helped her meet Finn Tastic like she wanted. She returns to Finn's trailer to voice not only her discontent about her friends' actions but also her gratitude for their intentions.

Princess Celestia then enters with the real winners of the Trail Trotters contest: the Cutie Mark Crusaders. In addition, in recognition of the Ninja, the Mane Six and Megan's friendship, Celestia appoints them as the leaders of the Crusaders' Trail Trotters troop, and they will managed to keep track of them while having important missions.
