The Ticket Master

One day, shenzi, banzai and ed they were walking through the woods when they come to Twilight Sparkle and Spike who were helping Applejack harvest apples when Twilight receives a letter from Princess Celestia containing two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala. Applejack says that if she goes to the gala, she will open an apple stand and earn money for her family. in that the rumor of the gallop gala reaches the head of the three hyenas thinking that it would be an opportunity to go with her . Suddenly Rainbow Dash crash-lands and asks about the tickets. She tells Twilight she hopes to perform flying stunts at the gala to impress the Wonderbolts and, hopefully, be asked to join their troupe. Applejack and Rainbow Dash argue about the spare ticket until Twilight says she will think about it during lunch. upon learning of this shenzi banzai and ed appear between the two girls and tell them if they want to go but, applejack said that she would get the ticket just like Rainboow dash, banzai convinces them to make a secret plan so that twilight can go with them. But what they didn't know is that Twilight needed lunch and didn't have time to decide who to go to the gala with.

Twilight comes across Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy, who also want to attend the gala. Pinkie sings a song about playing games and partying at the gala. Rarity dreams about meeting Princess Celestia's nephew and falling in love with him. Fluttershy wants to visit the castle’s gated garden and befriend the exotic animals who live there.

Rarity dreams about meeting Princess Celestia's nephew and falling in love with him. Fluttershy wants to visit the castle’s gated garden and befriend the exotic animals who live there. then shenzi banzai and ed get the five ponies together to do a couple of favors:

* Rainboow dash will create a hole that will prevent rain
* Rarity will prepare a dress for her and a nice outfit for spike
* Applejack will open a stand where she will only sell desserts made from apples
* Fluttershy will clean the house with angel
* And finally pinkie pie will make a surprise outside the house to convince her

But not before warning them that if Twilight refuses their favors, they will make a surprise attack on their house with the hyena clan. they both agreed and got to work.

When Twilight and Spike are eating lunch, they notice the other ponies go inside, while the waiter asks Twilight if she's going to eat in the rain, but she doesn't notice the rain until she sees that Rainbow Dash left a hole in a rain cloud to keep Twilight dry. Twilight tells her not to do favors in order to get the spare ticket. Rainbow Dash closes the hole and the rain drenches Twilight and Spike, ruining their lunch.

after all, shenzi banzai and ed's plan hadn't worked well so it's Rarity's turn. Rarity passes by and invites them to Carousel Boutique where Rarity gives both of them makeovers. When Twilight realizes that she's doing it for the ticket she states that "she will have to wait for her decision like everyone else." Again the plan of the hyenas did not go very well. Afterwards, Applejack offers desserts to Twilight, but she declines there was, only one more shift left. When she goes back to the library, she finds Fluttershy and her animal friends doing spring cleaning. When Twilight asks Fluttershy to leave, Pinkie pulls Twilight out and sings The Ticket Song. Pinkie inadvertently informs the whole town about the extra ticket to the gala. shenzi, banzai and ed They knew it was the best time to accept the favor but something unexpected happens. A crowd of excited ponies try to do favors for Twilight, and she escapes by teleporting herself and Spike back to the library.

Seeing that his attempts were a terrible failure, Shenzi explodes with anger, enraged by his failures, decides to immediately make the surprise attack on his house. Twilight discovers the rest of the hyenas already waiting in the library and breaks down, telling them she doesn't want to disappoint anyone. but shenzi who had had enough of the rejections of her friends prepares to kill her but is then interrupted by her friends who arrive just in time, shenzi scolds them because she had not accepted their requests. Then Twilight realized that Shenzi, Banzai and Ed had manipulated their friends to keep the ticket and that she had decided to kill her and if she did not accept their favors, a startled twilight asks Shenzi why she was doing that and she tells him everything that happened. Twilight writes a friendship report to Princess Celestia and decides to return both tickets because she'd rather not go than leave out any of her friends. Princess Celestia sends back nine tickets, saying Twilight should have just asked for more. Twilight's stomach starts rumbling and the others invite her to dinner. As the ponies and the hyena clan get their tickets, Spike becomes upset that he doesn't get a ticket, but Princess Celestia soon sends a seventh ticket for him. Spike goes outside with the ticket giggling, but he stops as soon as he sees Applejack grinning at him. He immediately pretends he is disgusted that he has to go, but soon runs off giggling as Applejack follows along.
