## Plot

At Sugarcube Café, the Ninja, the Mane Six and Megan attempt to fill a very large number of orders in a short amount of time, and Rarity spends most of the time playing with her tablet instead of helping. In a series of unfortunate slapstick, Pinkie Pie ends up balancing dozens of pastry boxes on her hooves, and her friends help with delivering the boxes while Rarity records a video of them. Rarity shares the video with her friends, and Spike and Akita share the video with their friends, causing the video to go viral. The Ninja, the Mane Six and Megan become internet celebrities overnight.

Most of the Ninja, the Mane Six and Megan get wrapped up in their instant internet fame, posing for pictures with their fans, but Applejack is overwhelmed. The next day, the Ninja, Megan and the ponies' internet fame quickly subsides, with their viral video getting no new hits and no fans showing up to take pictures. Everyone except Applejack pretends to be relieved that everything is back to normal, but they start to wonder how to become famous a second time.
