Twilight Sparkle
- Twilight Sparkle: Now that we're all back together, we can use that magic on the sirens. Just like when we were able to use it on Sunset Shimmer when she turned into that horrifyingly awful winged monster! No offense.
- Sunset Shimmer: [disgruntled] None taken.
- [happily]
- Sunset Shimmer: I'm used to it.
- Twilight Sparkle: The way Sunset Shimmer described them, I think these new girls sound an awful lot like... the sirens.
- Pinkie Pie: Not the sirens!
- [whispering loudly to Fluttershy]
- Pinkie Pie: I don't actually know what that is!
- Twilight Sparkle: All right, girls, let's do this! Friendship is magic!
- [nothing happens]
- Rainbow Dash: Uh, weren't there rainbows and lasers and stuff last time?
- Sunset Shimmer: [a while into the Dazzlings' performance and the Rainbooms' arguing] Stop! You have to stop!
- [they suddenly stop arguing]
- Sunset Shimmer: This is what they've been after all along! They're feeding off the magic inside you!
- Applejack: How can they be using our magic? It's the magic of friendship!
- Sunset Shimmer: Ever since you started this band, you've been letting... little things get to you. I never said anything because I didn't feel like it was my place, not when I'm so new to this friendship thing. I still have a lot to learn, but I do know that if you don't work out even the smallest problems right at the start, the magic of friendship can be turned into something else.
- [they hang their heads in shame]
- Twilight Sparkle: I can't believe all this tension was happening right under my nose and I didn't realise it. I'm supposed to be the one with all the answers, and all I've done since I got here is let you down.
- Sunset Shimmer: I don't think anyone is supposed to have all the answers, ut you can count on your friends to help you find them.
- Twilight Sparkle: I think you already have. Come on, we need to get out of here!
- [they all push themselves up at once at the door to no avail; they collapse to the floor, then a knock on the door is heard; it opens; Spike standing outside]
- Twilight Sparkle: Spike!
- [picks him up and hugs him]
- Spike: Sorry I took so long. I had to find someone who wasn't under the Sirens' spell to help me get you out.
- [DJ Pon-3 comes into view]
- Twilight Sparkle: Why *isn't* she under their spell?
- Spike: Never takes off her headphones.
- [DJ gives a thumbs up and smiles]
- Rainbow Dash: I hate to burst your bubble, Twilight, but the connection between their world and Equestria will still be totally cut off for a super-long time.
- Pinkie Pie: OK, first of all, if there was any bubble-blowing going on, why wasn't I told about it? And secondly, if the connection is totally cut off, how was Sunset Shimmer able to get a message to Twilight?
- Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] Pinkie, you're a genius!
- Pinkie Pie: Yeah, I get that a lot.
- [to Rainbow Dash]
- Pinkie Pie: Now about those bubbles...
- Twilight Sparkle: Maybe it doesn't even matter that we're trapped down here. I don't think the counter spell would have worked anyway.
- Applejack: 'Course is woulda worked, Twilight!
- [turns to look at Rainbow Dash]
- Applejack: Assumin' as certain band member didn't try to hog the spotlight the whole time we were tryin' to play it!
- Rainbow Dash: Hey! If you want to tell Twilight she's getting a little too caught up trying to be the new leader of this band, you don't have to be all cryptic about it.
- Rarity: She was talking about *you*, Rainbow Dash!
- Rainbow Dash: *Me*? I'm just trying to make sure my band rocks as hard as it needs to!
- Applejack, Rarity: *Our* band!
- Twilight Sparkle: But why wasn't it working? I should know what to do. How could I not know what to do? How could I have failed like this?
- Applejack: It might have been your idea to start a band, but it's not just your band, Rainbow Dash!
- Rainbow Dash: I'm the one who writes all the songs!
- Fluttershy: I write songs. You just never let us *play* any of them!
- Rarity: I had *the* most perfect outfits for us to wear.
- Applejack: Again with the costumes! Nobody cares what we're wearin'!
- Rarity: *I* care, Applejack! So sorry if I enjoy trying to make a creative contribution to the band!
- Pinkie Pie: Hey! Anybody here remember *fun*? I'll give you a hint! IT'S THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF BEING IN THE RAINBOOMS!
- Rainbow Dash: I wish I never asked any of you to be in my band!
- Rarity: *I* WISH I NEVER AGREED TO BE IN IT!
- Applejack, Fluttershy: Me neither!
- [all except Sunset and Twilight start arguing incoherently as their negative energy and distrust starts drifting up towards the stage where the Dazzlings are about to perform as Sunset starts to look frightened]
- Twilight Sparkle: We really need to stop bumping into each other like this.
- Flash Sentry: [to bandmates] Uh, you guys hear something?
- Bandmates: Nope, etc.
- Twilight Sparkle: I said, we have to stop...
- Flash Sentry: There it is again! So annoying!
- Maud Pie: Boulder was hungry.
- [opens a cupboard, sprinkles crackers on him and leaves]
- Sunset Shimmer: [whispering] I still can't get over the fact that she's related to Pinkie Pie.
- Twilight Sparkle: [whispering] You and me both.
- [they smile]
