"Oh." "You um, you didn't hear me, um ..." "Singing in the most beautiful voice ever?" "Uh, yeah we did!" "(whimper)" "Wow!" "I've never heard you sing a solo like that before." "It was like a little slice of heaven." "With ice cream on top!" "Fluttershy, I cannot believe your spectacular voice isn't part of the Pony Tones Quartet!" "Um...well..." "I..." "Especially since you're having us perform for your Ponyville Pet Center Fundraiser tomorrow night!" "Well, you see, I..." "This simply must be rectified!" "You must share that stunning voice at the event." "Yeah!" "It will be so amazing!" "You'd be there on stage, basking in the hooflights, the center of attention, a shining star..." "With everypony staring at you, judging you, jealously noting how they could be WAY better than you." "Why wasn't it them?" "Why wasn't it them?" "And then, when you choke, they'll turn on you becoming a seething angry mob and you'll be horribly humiliated, never able to show your face in Ponyville again!" "Pinkie Pie!" "Don't be ridiculous!" "But I'm so good at it!" "Come, Fluttershy." "You will join the group making the Pony Tones Quartet the Pony Tones Quintet!" "No!" "Pardon me?" "I love the Pony Tones." "I'm one of their biggest fans." "But I do not want to perform with them." "Why not, Fluttershy?" "Well you see, I..." "I have...um..." "I-I have..." "Spit it out!" "I have...stage fright!" "(gasp)" "Is it contagious?" "Stage fright isn't a disease, Pinkie." "It just means that Fluttershy is scared to perform in front of everypony." "I'm very thankful the Pony Tones are singing at the Pet Center Fundraiser." "And I'm really looking forward to the performance." "But I'll be watching safely from the audience." "Well, I think it's a terrible waste of an exquisite talent, but I understand that you're not comfortable." "Thank you." "Ooh!" "Angel's right!" "We better get going!" "There's a lot of work to do before tomorrow's event!" "♪" "Ahem!" "All right, Pony Tones, let's run through that again!"

"Thank you, Spike, but this is an ensemble." "Enh, the rest of you were pretty good, too." "Oh, I thought you were all amazing, Pony Tones." "Thanks, Fluttershy!" "Now, Pony Tones, I want you all to rest your voices for the remainder of the day." "We'll do a final run-through tomorrow before the big event." "All right?" "Eeyup." "Sounds great!" "Oh, Rarity, the Pony Tones are really going to make the Ponyville Pet Center Fundraiser so special!" "Thank you so much for helping me help the animals!" "Oh yes." "It is wonderful when a plan comes together without any sort of drama, isn't it?" "(giggle)" "(owl hoots)" "(rooster crows)" "♪" "Morning, Fluttershy." "Good morning, Pony Tones!" "Actually, we're the Pony Tones minus one tone." "Big Mac is inconveniently late." "(panting)" "Well, there you are!" "Have I not told you about punctuality?" "Ah!" "I don't want to hear it!" "♪ (pitch pipe tone)" "♪ (no doo wop introduction)" "(gulp)" "Big Mac!" "Can you please start the song?" "Nnope." "Big Mac!" "Did you lose your voice?" "(gulp)" "Eeyup." "(gasps)" "♪" "Whatever did you do to cause this?" "Well..." "Howdy, everypony!" "And welcome to the 12th Annual Ponyville Turkey Call!" "(cheering)" "(gobble)" "Who will take the title this year?" "Will it be somepony new?" "Or will the Turkey Call champion of six years defend his title to make it lucky number seven?" "We'll find out if ya stop yer gabbin' and git on with the gobbling'!" "All right, everypony!" "Let's talk turkey!" "Big Mac, yer up!" "(takes a deep breath)" "A Turkey Call?" "You lost your voice doing a..." "Turkey Call?" "Lost his voice and the title!" "(Pinkie gobble)" "Now we can't perform tonight." "Wait!" "What?" "No!" "You have to perform!" "Otherwise the fundraiser will be a disaster." "Well, we cannot perform tonight with only three voices." "Why not?" "It would take rearranging all the music and we just don't have time." "I'm sorry, Fluttershy, but I have no remedy for this situation." "(gasp)" "Of course!" "A remedy!" "Follow me!" "(hoarse) Ahhhh!" "Hmmm." "Aaahh." "I can cure this pony that is hoarse, but it will take a longer course." "Come again?" "Hmmm." "I can mix a brew that will work just right, but it cannot heal him by tonight." "Oh no!" "Where are we ever going to find a deep voice to replace Big Mac's?" "(chuckle)" "Pardon me, Zecora, but this is no laughing matter." "We need a bass voice for the harmonies to work!" "Without it, the performance will be ruined!" "Please forgive my strange elation, but I was not laughing at your situation." "Then what?" "Remember when you pony folk stumbled into Poison Joke?" "Miss Fluttershy had an unusual change, deepening her vocal range." "(very low voice) I don't want to talk about it." "Yes, yes!" "Your voice became really low, making it sound like..." "Flutterguy!" "With these leaves, I can mix a brew creating the same effect on you." "Zecora, that's fantastic!" "Yes!" "I'll do it!" "I'd do anything for the animals!" "Why, you'd even appear on stage!" "Oh, except that." "I just can't bring myself to sing on stage in front of everypony." "What if you sang NOT in front of everypony?" "Huh?" "What if Big Mac was on stage moving his lips while you're behind the curtain singing his part?" "It would be just like singing in your house." "Nopony would know it was you." "Even still." "I just don't think I could sing in front of" "You must!" "For the animals!" "(squeaks)" "Oh, OK, then...mix it up." "♪" "Now do it just like we practiced." "(gasp)" "(crowd chatters)" "Good evening, citizens of Ponyville!" "I want to thank you all for coming out tonight and generously supporting the Ponyville Pet Center!" "Thanks to your kindness, pets are finding loving homes and we are sure to meet our fundraising goal!" "Where's Fluttershy?" "Prob'ly hiding'." "You know how much that pony hates the spotlight." "So, with no further ado, please welcome..." "The Pony Tones!"

"You totally missed the show!" "Just like a true professional, Fluttershy was back stage making sure everything ran smoothly." "And it was perfect!" "That was fantastic, Pony Tones." "My new puppy and I thought it was super duper crazy good!" "Why, thank you!" "And we were wondering if you would consider performing at my daughter Zippoorwhill's Cuteciñera." "Will you?" "Will you?" "We'd love to!" "When is it?" "Next week?" "Next month?" "Tomorrow!" "Oh, gracious, I'm terribly sorry." "That's just much too last-minute." "Oh no!" "Well..." "I understand."

"I didn't know that last performance was my last performance." "Fluttershy!" "Stop!" "Would it be OK if Fluttershy sang for you one last time?" "Yup."

"And that shy filly was living her dream in the shadows because she couldn't bring herself to come into the spotlight?" "Eeyup." "Well, for corn's sake!" "Let's go!" "Twilight:" "Fluttershy?" "You in here?" "Yes." "I'm here." "Pinkie:" "That was totally unbelievable!" "I mean, the curtain came up, and there you were, singing in front of everypony!" "And, you know, I don't think any pony was jealous cause there certainly wasn't an angry mob!" "But it must have been horrible standing there on stage!" "All eyes glued directly on you." "It's like you were living your own personal worst nightmare!" "(sobbing)" "It was!" "(frantic sobbing)" "What?" "Too much?" "(crying)" "What Pinkie meant to say was that you were really great." "Wait!" "Didn't I say that?" "Hardly!" "Whoops!" "YOU WERE GREAT!" "You totally blew my mind!" "Incredible!" "Though, no offence, you kind of sounded like a dude." "(sobs)" "A great sounding dude!" "Well, thank you all." "I'm glad you enjoyed it because I'm never going to sing in front of anypony ever again." "(gasp)" "Oh no!" "Are you kidding me?" "Can we please stop running!" "(panting)" "I just don't understand why, Fluttershy." "After all, you're the one that wanted the Pony Tones to sing for every silly thing that was requested of us." "You mean, you knew I really wanted to perform?" "Of course I knew!" "Oh." "And for all her babbling, Pinkie Pie was right about one thing." "Only one?" "When that curtain fell, and everypony saw you singing, you lived your worst nightmare." "Was it really that bad?" "Yes!" "Well, what was so bad about it?" "The thunderous applause?" "The praise for your fantastic singing'?" "The SCREAMING FANS?"

"Surprisingly OK!" "Rarity:" "Fantastic!" "Because the Pony Tones have been booked for the" "Apple Family's Zap Apple Jam Extraordinaire!" "Oh no!" "I couldn't do that!" "Why not?" "How come?" "Seriously?" "I'll get there someday." "But for now, baby steps, everypony." "Baby steps." "Fluttershy:" "Sometimes being afraid can stop you from doing something that you love." "But hiding behind these fears means you're only hiding from your true self." "It's much better to face those fears so you can shine and be the best pony you can possibly be!"
