TEXT: (branch rips) (branch reattaches) Rarity: Hmm... Hah! (poof) Perfect. (branch rips, crashes to ground) Applejack: (spits) Just take the broken limbs down, Rarity. Don'tcha'll care 'bout nothin' more than prettifyin'? Rarity: (defensive) SOMEpony has to! You were making an absolute MESS of the town square, Applejack. Applejack: Yeah, well, the storm's gonna make an even bigger mess if we don't prune all these loose branches so they don't tumble down on anypony. Rarity: I simply CANNOT imagine why the pegasus ponies would schedule a dreadful downpour this evening and ruin what could've been a glorious sunny day. Applejack: (sighs) Think more practical-like, will ya? Applejack: (kicking tree) They accidentally skipped a scheduled sprinkle last week, so we need a doozy of a downpour to make up for it, is all. Rarity: (whining) Oh no! My wonderfully styled mane shall be ruined! Applejack: Ya shoulda hurried up and finished the job, already. Rarity: (yelping frantically) It's coming down too fast! (yelping) Help me! Applejack: Uh...there. Hunker down to your heart's content whilst I finish this. Rarity: (panting) Oh, no, no, no! Applejack: What now? Rarity: I prefer not to get my hooves muddy. Applejack: (scoffs) There is just no pleasin' ya, is there?! Everything's gotta be just so. Rarity: And how does muddying my hooves serve ANY useful purpose? Applejack: Y'all wouldn't know useful if it came up and bit'cha. Rarity: (laughs condescendingly) That doesn't even make any sense. Applejack: Does so. Rarity: Does not
SUMMARY:
Applejack and Rarity have an argument over their respective approaches to work as they prepare for a thunderstorm. Their arguing causes them to be stuck outside when the storm hits, but Twilight invites them into the library to spend the night. Twilight decides to throw her first slumber party, much to Applejack and Rarity's regret. The hostility between Applejack and Rarity increases with each activity, with Twilight oblivious to the conflict. As they prepare to go to sleep, a lightning bolt threatens to send a tree branch into a nearby home. Applejack lassos it in time to stop it, accidentally dragging it into Twilight's bedroom in the process. Between the mess, Applejack and Rarity work together to get rid of the branch and clean up the mess, overcoming their differences. They later apologize to each other, and enjoy the rest of the slumber party with Twilight.
