(The Rainbooms are trapped under the amphitheater stage)
Give it up, Rainbow Dash. You’ve been tryin’ at this for hours, it’s not gonna open.
TS Twilight Sparkle
Maybe it doesn’t even matter that we’re trapped down here. I don’t think the counter-spell would’ve worked anyway.
Applejack
’Course it woulda worked, Twilight. (To Rainbow) Assumin’ a 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.
R 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.
AS All sans Twilight and Sunset
OUR BAND!
TS Twilight Sparkle
But why wasn’t it working? I should know what to do! How can I not know what to do? How can 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!
F Fluttershy
I write songs, you just never let us play any of them!
R Rarity
I had the most perfect outfits for us to wear!
Applejack
Again with the costumes! No one cares what we’re wearin’!
R Rarity
I care, Applejack! So sorry if I enjoy trying to make a creative contribution to the band!
PP 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’D NEVER ASKED ANY OF YOU TO BE IN MY BAND!!!
R Rarity
I WISH I’D NEVER AGREED TO BE IN IT!!!
Applejack and Fluttershy
ME NEITHER!!!!!!
(They start to argue, and their negative energy wafts upward.)
Sunset Shimmer
Those three are possession of some of dark magic. How else could you explain what happened back there?
Applejack
Don't worry, y'all. We'll let Principal Celestia know all about this and those girls will be kicked to the curb in no time. Last thing she needs is another CHS event almost ruined by some power-crazed psychopathic punkrock girl who won the Fall Formal.
Sunset Shimmer
Me? A power-crazed psychopathic punkrock girl?! [Chuckles for a bit] Did you SERIOUSLY just call me that?
Applejack
No... [Bursts into laughter] I was just messin' with you!
Sunset Shimmer
[Sunset Shimmer and Applejack both laugh] [Happy sighs]
Too good..
Applejack
[Before the Rainbooms perform in the first round of the Battle of the Bands]
Least we know one group who won't stand in the way of us gettin' to the finals.
Sunset Shimmer
[sarcastically]
Hmph. Shocker.......
Rainbow Dash
Let's get ready to rock!
PP Pinkie Pie
Wait! Where's Rarity?
R Rarity
Oh! Here! I'm here! [panting]
R Rarity
[metal fringes jangling]
We will be performing in front of an audience. I'm not going to wear something fabulous? Hmph.
Applejack
Guh...
