"Oh, what to wear?" "What to wear?" "Oh, what to wear?" "Scoot your boot, Apple Bloom." "It's not like it's the Harvest Day Parade." "We're just going to the train station." "Oh, too casual." "Too summery." "Your cousin isn't gonna care what you're wearing." "Just pick something." "This is my first time meeting her." "And she's from Manehattan." "I want to make a good impression." "You know what would make a good impression?" "What?" "Being on time to pick her up!" "Ah..." "You got nothing to worry about, sugar cube." "Y'all are gonna get along great." "You already have something in common." "Oh, yeah?" "What's that?" "Neither of you have your Cutie Mark." "What?" "!" "How could you forget to tell me something like that?" " Well, I" " Oh, this changes everything." "Meet you at the train station." "I gotta tell Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." "You know your cousin is supposed to sleep in here!" "You really think she'll want to join?" "She doesn't have her Cutie Mark." "Of course she'll want to join the Cutie Mark Crusaders." "I'm just so excited I could burst." "Is that the train from Manehattan?" "Yep." "That's her!" "Oh, wait, no, no, that's not her." "Oh, wait." "No, that's her." "Um, no." "Wait." "That's not her either." "Apple Bloom, you've never met Babs Seed, remember?" "Oh, heh-heh, yeah." "Ah, that's her." "Babs!" "Babs!" "It's me, your cousin, Apple Bloom." "And this is Sweetie Belle." "And this is Scootaloo." "And we are so, so, so glad you're here." "Thanks, I'm happy to" "This is going to be the best week of your life!" "Sure hope it's gonna be" "Seriously, we are gonna have a blast." "The Summer Harvest Parade is going on while you're here." "We get to ride in a float." "Really?" "I've never been on a float before." "And we've got a really big surprise for you." "Yeah." "Uh, a surprise?" "I give you the Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse." "The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" "A club devoted to helping ponies get their Cutie Marks." "We're its founding members." "Technically, we're its only members." "But we're always looking to expand and you seem like the perfect candidate." "I do?" "Well, yeah." "Since you don't have a Cutie Mark and all." "Oh." "Yeah." "That." "Allow me to show you just some of the highlights of our clubhouse, should you choose to join us." "This is where we do our roll call." "Huh." "This is where we eat our lunch." "Sometimes we stand here and think up great ideas." "Yeah." "Uh..." "Uh, could you excuse us for a moment?" "Sure." "Thought she'd be more impressed." "She's from Manehattan." "If we want to impress her we need to really wow her." "Hmm..." "Ah!" "The float." "She can ride with us on our Summer Harvest Parade float." "That's perfect." "This really is a good spot for thinking up great ideas." "Mm-hm." "Here it is." "The official Cutie Mark Crusaders float for the Summer Harvest Parade." "As a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders you'd be able to ride on it with us." "It'd be totally fun." "Uh..." "More like funny..." "Looking!" "Ha-ha-ha!" "What is that thing?" "A giant orange?" "It's a pumpkin!" "More like a lame-kin." "Who's the new blank flank?" "She's my cousin, Babs." "She's from Manehattan." "Manehattan, huh?" "Well, I guess you have that going for you." "Suppose you're gonna join their little club?" "What's it called?" "The Cutie Mark Crusaders." "More like the Cutie Mark Crybabies." " Hey!" " Ooh." "Big city attitude." "I like it." "Mm-hm." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, there's more where that came from." "Check this out." "Unh!" "Oh, no, she didn't." "Looks like somepony's pumpkin just got squashed." "When I tell Applejack" "You gonna tell Applejack what?" "Well, you know, uh..." "What are you, a snitch?" "Come on, Babs." "You should hang with us." "You know, the cool ponies." "Not these babies." "What just happened?" "I think Babs just went to the dark side." "We have to tell Applejack." "No." "We're not snitches." "Yeah." "And we're not babies." "Then why do I feel like crying?" "I still can't believe she ruined our pumpkin float." "I still can't believe I'm related to such a big stinking bully." "What are we going to do?" "We're gonna build a new float, that's what." "Why bother?" "She'll probably just ruin that one too." "We could always tell Applejack." "What are you, a snitch?" "No!" "We're not gonna be a bunch of tattletales." "Besides, she's only here a couple of weeks." "We'll just avoid her like the plague until she goes home." "Avoid her." "Yeah." "How hard can that be?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah" "Yeah, yeah, yeah" "Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah" "First we thought that Babs Was so really, really sweet" "A new friend to have" "And it seemed like Such a treat" "But then we found the truth" "She's just a bully From the east" "She went from Babs, yeah To a bully and a beast" "Everywhere we turn She's just a step ahead" "Babs Seed, Babs Seed What we gonna do?" "Got a bully on our tail" "Gotta hide We gotta bail" "Babs Seed, Babs Seed If she's after you" "Gotta run We gotta flee" "Gotta hurry Don't you see" "Babs Seed, Babs Seed She's just a bad, bad seed" "Yeah, yeah, yeah" "Yeah, yeah, yeah" "Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah" "Hiding from a bully We know it isn't right" "But the Cutie Mark Crusaders" "We aren't lookin' For a fight" "Oh, she'll go home soon" "And then we'll have Some peace again" "But for now we're stayin' Out of her way till then" "Everywhere we turn She's just a step ahead" "Babs Seed, Babs Seed What we gonna do?" "Gotta a bully on our tail Gotta hide, we gotta bail" "Babs Seed, Babs Seed If she's after you" "You gotta run We gotta flee" "Gotta hurry Don't you see" "Why so mean?" "Why so crude?" "Why so angry?" "Why so rude?" "Can't you be nice?" "Can't we be friends?" "Isn't it sad Is this how it all ends?" "Babs Seed, Babs Seed" "She's just a bad, bad" "Babs Seed, Babs Seed" "She's just a bad, bad" "Babs Seed, Babs Seed" "She's just a bad, bad seed" "Babs may have run us out of town, but at least we still have the club" "Hey!" "What are you doing at my clubhouse?" "Your clubhouse?" "This is our clubhouse!" "Well, it was yours." "And now it's mine." "And mine." "And mine." "That's not fair, Babs." "We never did anything to you." "And let's keep it that way." "Now scram, crybabies." "Bump, bump Sugarlump, rump!" "That Babs has really gone too far this time." "Kicked out of our own clubhouse." "And my own bed." "Seriously?" "Super seriously." "We need to talk to Applejack." "No!" " Rarity?" " No!" "Twilight?" "No, no, no." "We need to fight back." "Yeah, fight back!" "How are we gonna do that?" "By making her the guest of honor at the Summer Harvest Parade." "Yeah!" "Wait." "What?" "When you look up quot;embarrassedquot;" "in the dictionary, her face will be there." "Moo!" "Moo!" "Moo!" "Moo!" "Are those from the Carousel Boutique?" "Yep." "Excellent." "Ooh!" "Luster dust from Sugercube Corner." "They use it for decorating cakes." "That must be what Rarity uses on her emergency edible boots." "The gears and bands for the moving mechanism, my tools and stuff." "Did you bring the thing?" "From the place?" "What's that?" "Granny Smith's kitchen timer." "What's that for?" "You'll see." "Heh-heh." "Come on, y'all." "Let's get to it." "We only got a few hours before morning and this thing has to look so good," "Babs won't be able to resist wanting to ride in it." "Is this it?" "I think we're a go." "Good, because we better get out of here before Babs finds us." "Cutie Mark Crusaders, ho!" "Hot carrot crepes!" "Get 'em here." "Get 'em hot!" "Whoa!" "Isn't it smashing?" "No, I didn't mean smash." "I mean, isn't it a hit?" "No, no hit!" "No hitting." "I mean" "Well, don't even think about riding it, Babs." "You had your chance." "See you later, Cutie Mark Crybabies." "The timer set?" "Teach her to fool with the Cutie Mark Crusaders." "Y'all are letting' Babs ride in your golden apple float?" "Yeah." "We thought she deserved to be the center of attention." "Well, that's just super sweet of y'all." "Makin' Babs feel so special." "You know after all the heartache she's been having in Manehattan." "Heartache?" "Well, I didn't say nothing because I didn't want her to feel singled out, but there's been some bullies back in Manehattan just been teasing' her to pieces for her blank flank." "T-T-Teased?" "B-Bullies?" "Yup." "She came out to the farm to get away from all her problems back home." "I'm so proud of y'all." "You done a good deed." "So that's why she jumped in when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon started giving us a hard time." "She didn't want to be bullied like at home so she decided to be a bully instead." "And now we've turned into bullies too." "What'll we do?" "Nice float, Babs." "Snagged it from those whiny-baby blank flanks." "Too cool for mule, Babs." "We gotta stop that float." "Applejack." "Quick, you have-- ( band playing loudly )" "Huh?" "Quick, you have to help us!" "What?" "We booby-trapped it!" "Babs." "Bully." "Payback." "No time to explain." "We've just got to get Babs out of that float." "Oof, my popcorn!" "Sorry!" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me." "Ow!" "Whoops." "Pinkie Pie, let us in." "Funny joke." "No, really." "Let us in!" "Oh!" "Here." "Babs, you gotta get out of that float!" "You're not getting your float back, crybabies." "But it's booby trap" " Veggie salad!" " Huh?" "Veggie salad!" "Veggie salad." "Seriously?" "Hey, don't leave me!" "Ha-ha!" "quot;" "Leavequot; me!" "Ha-ha-ha!" "What the--?" "Babs!" "Babs!" "Oh, sweet apple sauce!" "Maybe we'll get our cutie marks in quot;" "Stupidest Ideas of All Time.quot;" "Are y'all okay?" "Yeah, we're fine." "No sweat." "After I'd been so mean to you, you saved me." "Uh, about that..." "I don't get it." "I saw it all happen." "You pushed me out just when the float was about to head into the lake." "Except we were the reason it was headed into the lake." "We booby-trapped the float." "You see, Babs, we were trying to get you back for being a big bully." "But then Applejack told us about how you were being bullied back in Manehattan." "And we figured out you were just doing it to avoid getting picked on in Ponyville." "But by then, we were the ones being bullies." "And..." "Oh, why does life have to be so ironic?" "Guess what we're trying to say is..." "We're sorry." "I'm sorry too." "Ah." "You know, this all could've been avoided if y'all just came to me in the very beginning." "That's what I kept on saying." "So can we start over?" "Definitely." "Yeah." "We, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, elect Babs Seed to join us as a sister, friend, confidante, ally, bosom buddy, gal pal, compadre, chum of chums" "Well, you wrote this." "Oh, uh, yeah." "Homegirl, amiga..." "Blah, blah, blah, blah." "Oh, yes, here." "And fellow Cutie Mark Crusader!" "You are solemnly sworn in here this day in witness of your fellow sisters, friends, confidantes, bosom buddies, compadres" "Congratulations !" "Gotta remember to revise that." "So you promise you're going to start our Manehattan branch of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, right?" "Yeah." "And I promise to keep talking to my big sis about the teasing back home." "Good, and if you have any problems, we've got your back too, you hear?" "So you're leaving, huh?" "Great." "Now we're stuck here with these lame blank flanks." "Hey!" "That's not how you talk to my friends." "F-Friends?" "Yeah, you got a problem with that?" "Well, what if I do?" "What are you gonna do about it?" "Tell your mothers about your bad attitudes." "I'm sure gonna miss that bad seed." "Bad seed?" "I thought y'all were friends now?" "No, see, first we called her quot;" "Bad Seed,quot;" "as in actually a quot;bad seed.quot;" "But now she's quot;badquot;" "as in quot;good.quot;" "Get it?" "Yeah..." "No."
