1
00:00:02,829 --> 00:00:05,789
The magical properties of this
spell will only have lasting
2
00:00:05,791 --> 00:00:07,045
effects if you focus on--
3
00:00:07,998 --> 00:00:10,064
No! Rainbow Dash!
4
00:00:11,596 --> 00:00:13,449
How in Equestria does
that pony expect to pass
5
00:00:13,455 --> 00:00:15,125
her History of the
Wonderbolts exam tomorrow
6
00:00:15,133 --> 00:00:16,702
if she's wasting time flying?
7
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:19,537
I'm just gonna fly
right up to her
8
00:00:19,549 --> 00:00:20,366
and tell her what I think
9
00:00:20,370 --> 00:00:22,476
about her lackadaisical
approach to studying.
10
00:00:22,747 --> 00:00:24,095
Won't she be surprised.
11
00:00:24,126 --> 00:00:24,735
Surprise!
12
00:00:24,780 --> 00:00:26,618
What? Huh?
How did you?
13
00:00:26,739 --> 00:00:28,146
Please, Twilight.
14
00:00:28,353 --> 00:00:30,230
That was the worst
sneak attack ever.
15
00:00:31,871 --> 00:00:32,565
What? But--
16
00:00:32,667 --> 00:00:34,967
I saw you giving me the
stink eye from the ground.
17
00:00:35,135 --> 00:00:38,095
And heard you flying towards me
and muttering from a mile away.
18
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,507
Well, if you heard me
muttering then you must know
19
00:00:40,515 --> 00:00:41,705
what I was muttering about.
20
00:00:41,988 --> 00:00:44,405
Yeah, yeah, the
Wonderbolts History test.
21
00:00:44,684 --> 00:00:45,730
No big deal.
22
00:00:47,631 --> 00:00:48,868
No. Big Deal.
23
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:50,009
Really Big
Deal.
24
00:00:50,078 --> 00:00:50,883
It's a test!
25
00:00:51,047 --> 00:00:52,612
A test that will
determine if you can join
26
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:54,468
the newly formed
Wonderbolts Reserves.
27
00:00:54,706 --> 00:00:56,275
And being part of the
Wonderbolts Reserves
28
00:00:56,282 --> 00:00:57,309
means you'll have
the opportunity
29
00:00:57,311 --> 00:00:58,864
to live your dream
as a Wonderbolt.
30
00:00:59,090 --> 00:01:01,490
This is the most important
test of your life!
31
00:01:01,701 --> 00:01:04,440
Twilight, not everypony
gets all freaked out
32
00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:05,748
about tests like you.
33
00:01:06,142 --> 00:01:08,956
I do not get all
freaked out about tests.
34
00:01:09,504 --> 00:01:10,762
Uh, seriously?
35
00:01:11,334 --> 00:01:14,546
Your freak-outs are so epic you
sing whole "freak-out" arias
36
00:01:14,552 --> 00:01:15,440
about freaking out.
37
00:01:16,150 --> 00:01:19,652
Fine. I may tend to take my
tests a little seriously.
38
00:01:20,105 --> 00:01:22,790
But that doesn't mean you
shouldn't be studying for yours.
39
00:01:24,224 --> 00:01:27,235
Oooh! And I know just the
pony who can help you!
40
00:01:29,114 --> 00:01:29,812
Me!
41
00:01:30,050 --> 00:01:32,023
This is going to
so much fun!
42
00:01:35,611 --> 00:01:37,531
Sure. Fun.
43
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,400

44
00:02:18,515 --> 00:02:19,525
Agh! Wha?
45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,236
Hunh?
46
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,232
This is the most complete--
47
00:02:22,347 --> 00:02:23,916
And ginormous!
48
00:02:24,122 --> 00:02:26,001
book on the History
of the Wonderbolts.
49
00:02:26,764 --> 00:02:29,662
OK, but how am I supposed
to get what's in there...
50
00:02:30,042 --> 00:02:31,086
Into here?
51
00:02:31,820 --> 00:02:34,749
With my handy dandy Study
Checklist, of course.
52
00:02:35,299 --> 00:02:36,370
Of course.
53
00:02:37,207 --> 00:02:39,395
First up: Reading
and Highlighting.
54
00:02:40,905 --> 00:02:42,692
Reading and highlighting
is the foundation
55
00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:44,138
of any good study method.
56
00:02:44,524 --> 00:02:46,716
It allows the student to
hone in and boil down
57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,982
what's really important,
58
00:02:48,216 --> 00:02:49,990
separating the
good from the bad,
59
00:02:50,056 --> 00:02:52,909
the wheat from the chaff,
getting to the crux of things.
60
00:02:53,445 --> 00:02:55,059
Let's see what
you've got so far.
61
00:02:55,285 --> 00:02:56,349
Um...
62
00:02:56,878 --> 00:02:57,426
Huh?
63
00:02:58,111 --> 00:03:00,540
By highlighting everything,
you don't really
64
00:03:00,552 --> 00:03:03,422
separate the wheat
from the chaff.
65
00:03:04,776 --> 00:03:06,774
Or the good from the bad.
66
00:03:07,957 --> 00:03:10,113
Hey. I am not that tall!
67
00:03:15,061 --> 00:03:16,240
OK, Rainbow.
68
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:19,182
Clearly reading and highlighting
is not your style of studying.
69
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,660
So let's move on to
the tried and true.
70
00:03:22,614 --> 00:03:23,631
History Lecture!
71
00:03:26,632 --> 00:03:27,537
Yes, Rainbow?
72
00:03:28,485 --> 00:03:29,910
Is it snack time?
73
00:03:30,446 --> 00:03:30,850
No.
74
00:03:31,385 --> 00:03:32,419
Recess?
75
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,036
No.
76
00:03:34,146 --> 00:03:36,702
Can't we just watch the History
of the Wonderbolts movie?
77
00:03:37,285 --> 00:03:38,080
No!
78
00:03:38,485 --> 00:03:40,930
Now just get comfortable
and experience...
79
00:03:41,994 --> 00:03:43,886
the magic of learning.
80
00:03:45,215 --> 00:03:46,095
Ahem!
81
00:03:46,427 --> 00:03:48,520
Prior to the great
Celestia/Luna Rift,
82
00:03:48,803 --> 00:03:51,754
there was no need for the
Earth, Unicorn, Pegasi,
83
00:03:52,056 --> 00:03:53,672
or E.U.P.--Guard.
84
00:03:54,751 --> 00:03:56,460
But after Luna's banishment,
85
00:03:56,595 --> 00:03:58,899
the Protective Pony
Platoons were formed.
86
00:03:59,818 --> 00:04:02,444
On the anniversary of the
first Celestial Year of Peace,
87
00:04:02,684 --> 00:04:04,308
a celebration was held.
88
00:04:06,794 --> 00:04:08,376
Headed by General Firefly...
89
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,965
An elite team of aerial
performers were chosen
90
00:04:10,979 --> 00:04:13,309
to help commemorate this
auspicious occasion.
91
00:04:13,918 --> 00:04:16,251
The first performance
was so full of energy,
92
00:04:16,450 --> 00:04:19,845
so highly charged, that magical
lightning showered down
93
00:04:19,851 --> 00:04:20,606
on the crowd.
94
00:04:20,856 --> 00:04:23,381
Everypony was so filled
with amazement and wonder
95
00:04:23,598 --> 00:04:27,239
that General Firefly dubbed
them the Wonderbolts.
96
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,829
Rainbow Dash!
97
00:04:33,002 --> 00:04:35,069
Can you repeat
any of my lesson?
98
00:04:55,943 --> 00:04:57,139
History lecture?
99
00:04:57,689 --> 00:04:59,264
Nope.
100
00:04:59,369 --> 00:05:02,240
OK, Rainbow...Rainbow?
101
00:05:02,864 --> 00:05:03,797
Rainbow Dash!
102
00:05:04,757 --> 00:05:05,235
Here.
103
00:05:06,255 --> 00:05:11,334
Let's move on to my favorite
style of learning: Flashcards.
104
00:05:12,692 --> 00:05:16,647
Ooh! Does that mean
I'll learn in a flash?
105
00:05:17,465 --> 00:05:18,788
One can only hope.
106
00:05:20,942 --> 00:05:23,654
Colonel Purple Dart, the leader
of the Wonderbolts in the
107
00:05:23,736 --> 00:05:25,473
4th Celestial Era was
known for his...
108
00:05:26,107 --> 00:05:26,762
Wha?
109
00:05:27,469 --> 00:05:29,438
Rainbow, did you
see what happened?
110
00:05:29,890 --> 00:05:34,267
What? No! I was riveted by
your captivating cards.
111
00:05:34,958 --> 00:05:36,005
Hmmmm.
112
00:05:36,829 --> 00:05:39,008
After becoming the
official flying squadron
113
00:05:39,014 --> 00:05:41,465
for Princess Celestia, she
honored them with...
114
00:05:42,031 --> 00:05:42,813
Gotcha!
115
00:05:43,371 --> 00:05:43,982
Got what?
116
00:05:46,446 --> 00:05:49,047
The original Wonderbolts
lightning bolt insignia was...
117
00:05:49,324 --> 00:05:50,080
Ah!
118
00:05:51,221 --> 00:05:52,160
Rainbow Dash.
119
00:05:52,173 --> 00:05:53,332
You could have hurt me.
120
00:05:54,177 --> 00:05:56,282
With a spit wad? Really?
121
00:05:56,569 --> 00:05:59,127
A spit wad to the eye would
have been no laughing matter.
122
00:06:01,582 --> 00:06:03,209
Well, if you can horse
around like this,
123
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:05,469
then you clearly must
be ready for the test.
124
00:06:06,081 --> 00:06:06,675
Clearly!
125
00:06:07,278 --> 00:06:09,756
Well then, I guess you're
also ready for a...
126
00:06:11,410 --> 00:06:12,667
pop quiz.
127
00:06:12,885 --> 00:06:13,691
Bring it!
128
00:06:15,797 --> 00:06:18,503
The initials E.U.P.
stand for what?
129
00:06:18,975 --> 00:06:20,665
Ernie's Undercooked Pancakes.
130
00:06:20,856 --> 00:06:23,149
The original aerial
team performed for...
131
00:06:23,307 --> 00:06:25,121
Celestia's Cereal
Celebration.
132
00:06:25,914 --> 00:06:29,096
The Wonderbolts were given their
name by this famous Pegasus.
133
00:06:29,414 --> 00:06:30,279
Who is she?
134
00:06:30,831 --> 00:06:32,169
Please don't say Colonel Waffle.
135
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:35,929
Hello? General
Blazing Donut Glaze.
136
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:40,550
So, did I ace it or what?
137
00:06:40,911 --> 00:06:42,120
Or what.
138
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:44,534
You didn't get one
answer correct.
139
00:06:44,801 --> 00:06:46,362
What? But how?
140
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,471
I don't know.
141
00:06:47,578 --> 00:06:49,116
I've never heard
answers so wrong.
142
00:06:49,603 --> 00:06:51,127
And so breakfast related.
143
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,205
If you had taken the
official test today...
144
00:06:55,652 --> 00:06:58,120
My dreams of being
in the Wonderbolts Reserves
145
00:06:58,132 --> 00:07:00,025
would've been totally crushed.
146
00:07:01,094 --> 00:07:02,282
What am I gonna do?
147
00:07:02,456 --> 00:07:03,789
I'm running out of time!
148
00:07:03,861 --> 00:07:05,385
I don't know any
of this history!
149
00:07:05,945 --> 00:07:08,487
I'm going to fail!
150
00:07:12,796 --> 00:07:15,912
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna
fail, I'm gonna fail.
151
00:07:16,470 --> 00:07:18,140
And it's all your fault!
152
00:07:18,259 --> 00:07:19,186
My fault?
153
00:07:19,498 --> 00:07:21,000
I'm the one helping you.
154
00:07:21,656 --> 00:07:23,082
Maybe your famous
"study methods"
155
00:07:23,092 --> 00:07:24,450
aren't all they're
cracked up to be!
156
00:07:24,587 --> 00:07:25,730
Eh, teacher?
157
00:07:26,903 --> 00:07:29,931
Excuse me, I've used them
to study for many a test
158
00:07:29,949 --> 00:07:31,094
and passed.
159
00:07:31,447 --> 00:07:32,801
Yeah, right.
160
00:07:33,051 --> 00:07:35,773
Do you know the name of the
premiere Wonderbolts choreographer?
161
00:07:36,263 --> 00:07:37,535
Uh, well...
162
00:07:37,894 --> 00:07:39,566
Commander Easy Glider.
163
00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:42,575
Do you know how many Pegasi
flew in the original squad?
164
00:07:43,098 --> 00:07:43,615
Um...
165
00:07:43,873 --> 00:07:44,452
Seven!
166
00:07:44,776 --> 00:07:47,715
Do you know Princess Celestia's
favorite flight pattern?
167
00:07:48,183 --> 00:07:50,569
The Icaranian Sun Salutation.
168
00:07:50,794 --> 00:07:53,143
See? I could
pass the test.
169
00:07:53,658 --> 00:07:54,158
Fine.
170
00:07:54,323 --> 00:07:55,555
Rub it in, why
don't you?
171
00:07:55,797 --> 00:07:59,293
Besides, I don't see why I have
to take this lousy test anyway.
172
00:07:59,547 --> 00:08:02,080
I've proven I'm one of
the best fliers around.
173
00:08:02,308 --> 00:08:05,071
Knowing their origin and being
able to properly represent them
174
00:08:05,084 --> 00:08:07,765
for all of Equestria
is just as important.
175
00:08:08,019 --> 00:08:08,989
Yeah, right.
176
00:08:09,178 --> 00:08:11,471
Some history buff like you
must've made that up
177
00:08:11,484 --> 00:08:13,065
to bring us fliers down.
178
00:08:13,305 --> 00:08:16,130
Knowing history actually
is beneficial, Rainbow.
179
00:08:17,352 --> 00:08:19,141
Beneficial for eggheads.
180
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:19,912
Girls.
181
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:22,954
Well, this egghead knows
history and can fly.
182
00:08:23,254 --> 00:08:25,057
Maybe I should
become a Wonderbolt.
183
00:08:25,141 --> 00:08:27,701
Just 'cause you've got wings
doesn't mean you can fly.
184
00:08:27,777 --> 00:08:28,489
Girls!
185
00:08:28,579 --> 00:08:30,759
You're barely able to
just get off the ground.
186
00:08:32,433 --> 00:08:34,249
Girls! Stop!
187
00:08:36,288 --> 00:08:38,823
Now, is that any way
to talk to a friend?
188
00:08:41,274 --> 00:08:42,005
Sorry.
189
00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:44,226
Yeah, sorry.
190
00:08:44,796 --> 00:08:46,641
Don't you have more
important things to do?
191
00:08:46,831 --> 00:08:49,139
Like prepare Rainbow
for her big test?
192
00:08:49,719 --> 00:08:51,223
I've tried everything,
Fluttershy,
193
00:08:51,457 --> 00:08:53,508
but none of my study
methods work for her.
194
00:08:54,119 --> 00:08:56,704
Well, no offense to your
teaching methods, Twilight,
195
00:08:56,837 --> 00:08:58,926
but I think I may have
a way to help Rainbow.
196
00:09:03,047 --> 00:09:04,497
Oh! Who's that?
Who's that?
197
00:09:04,883 --> 00:09:07,734
Celestia and Luna, back
when they were happy.
198
00:09:29,363 --> 00:09:30,199
Now what?
199
00:09:30,526 --> 00:09:35,106
Gummy's an Earth Pony; Winona's
a Unicorn and Tank is a Pegasus.
200
00:09:35,455 --> 00:09:36,476
They're the E.U.P.
201
00:09:36,563 --> 00:09:38,183
helping to protect
the Princess.
202
00:09:42,021 --> 00:09:43,531
How are you
getting all this?
203
00:09:52,350 --> 00:09:53,137
Oh no!
204
00:09:58,948 --> 00:10:00,222
Stop, stop, stop!
205
00:10:00,452 --> 00:10:01,157
That was aw--
206
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,048
Awesome!
207
00:10:02,142 --> 00:10:04,977
I give it three "Woo hoos"
Woo hoo, Woo hoo, Woo hoo!
208
00:10:05,112 --> 00:10:06,690
And an extra "Woo"
for good measure.
209
00:10:06,835 --> 00:10:07,601
Woo!
210
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:11,142
Well, I give it a
"Whoa, whoa, what?"
211
00:10:11,186 --> 00:10:14,312
I'm totally confused and
I just want to go home.
212
00:10:14,378 --> 00:10:15,765
Whoa! Hey!
213
00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:17,680
Whoa, your woes,
there Woeful.
214
00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:19,869
Someponies learn through
theatrical presentation.
215
00:10:20,056 --> 00:10:23,045
But other ponies learn
through musical intervention.

What? No. Really?
238
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,828
But I've got to
learn this stuff.
239
00:11:24,181 --> 00:11:24,880
Now!
240
00:11:26,179 --> 00:11:28,378
And I am just the
pony to help.
241
00:11:29,584 --> 00:11:31,859
Rarity. You look ridiculous.
242
00:11:32,035 --> 00:11:35,043
I'm going to ignore that comment
out of my desire to help you.
243
00:11:36,552 --> 00:11:37,441
Good luck.
244
00:11:39,514 --> 00:11:42,731
Get ready, Rainbow Dash,
for I am going to take you
245
00:11:42,747 --> 00:11:46,228
on an historical
adventure in fashion.
246
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,155
I am now modeling the rather
unattractive, and frankly,
247
00:11:51,248 --> 00:11:54,058
itchy original Wonderbolts'
flying costume.
248
00:11:54,823 --> 00:11:57,935
Fortunately, thanks to the
vision of Flair de Mare,
249
00:11:58,132 --> 00:12:00,899
the Wonderbolts ensemble
became more streamlined
250
00:12:01,043 --> 00:12:02,831
in a wonderfully
breathable fabric.
251
00:12:03,342 --> 00:12:07,137
Of course, there were
fashion hits and misses.
252
00:12:08,554 --> 00:12:11,121
Just look at those
dreadful bell bottoms.
253
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:13,036
What were ponies thinking?
254
00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:13,974
I don't know.
255
00:12:14,156 --> 00:12:16,554
I bet General Flash
rocked these things.
256
00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:18,522
Ah! Pinkie! You're real!
257
00:12:18,671 --> 00:12:19,514
Of course I'm real.
258
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:21,523
I mean, I'm not the
real General Flash,
259
00:12:21,594 --> 00:12:22,963
the 10th leader of
the Wonderbolts.
260
00:12:23,162 --> 00:12:24,919
But I, Pinkie, am really real.
261
00:12:25,246 --> 00:12:28,753
And I'm Admiral Fairy Flight,
from the 7th squadron.
262
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:32,474
And of course, you recognize
Commander Easy Glider.
263
00:12:32,899 --> 00:12:34,636
And I'm sportin' some
sort of get-up worn
264
00:12:34,641 --> 00:12:36,277
by Colonel Purple Dart.
265
00:12:37,937 --> 00:12:39,244
Just look at us.
266
00:12:39,416 --> 00:12:40,671
Look at us.
267
00:12:40,727 --> 00:12:42,017
Look at me!
268
00:12:42,132 --> 00:12:43,943
It's too much for my eyes!
269
00:12:44,288 --> 00:12:46,081
Now, don't you fret, Rainbow.
270
00:12:46,386 --> 00:12:47,646
This fashion show nonsense
271
00:12:47,654 --> 00:12:49,334
wouldn't help me
learn nothin' either.
272
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:51,732
Really?
273
00:12:51,959 --> 00:12:54,796
Well, what special study
trick do you have, AJ?
274
00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:55,799
Who me?
275
00:12:56,308 --> 00:12:57,385
Oh, I got nothin'.
276
00:12:57,615 --> 00:12:58,396
Aw.
277
00:12:58,661 --> 00:13:01,182
Why, I could tell you every
little thing there is to know
278
00:13:01,196 --> 00:13:02,585
about the history of Apples.
279
00:13:02,803 --> 00:13:05,112
But I picked all that up
over years in the field
280
00:13:05,313 --> 00:13:06,374
as a labor of love.
281
00:13:06,928 --> 00:13:08,056
How much time you got?
282
00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:09,479
Twelve hours.
283
00:13:09,783 --> 00:13:11,892
Oh, then you are up a creek.
284
00:13:14,901 --> 00:13:18,124
Well, I think we should just go
back to old-fashioned studying.
285
00:13:18,528 --> 00:13:19,847
What about our play?
286
00:13:22,074 --> 00:13:23,791
Just look at these costumes.
287
00:13:23,992 --> 00:13:26,940
Surely something resonates
with your inner Wonderbolt.
288
00:13:27,209 --> 00:13:29,240
And Granny Smith discovered
the first Granny Smith
289
00:13:29,256 --> 00:13:31,498
in Phillydelphia when
she was just a filly.
290
00:13:31,783 --> 00:13:34,122
♪ Commander Easy Glider was
the real cream of the crop. ♪
291
00:13:34,483 --> 00:13:37,295
Pinkie, stop rapping! That

296
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:50,524
No rapping.
297
00:13:50,649 --> 00:13:51,338
No cards.
298
00:13:51,408 --> 00:13:52,101
No costumes.
299
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:52,920
No play.
300
00:13:53,890 --> 00:13:55,404
And no apples!
301
00:13:56,124 --> 00:13:57,925
I am never going
to pass this test.
302
00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:58,684
Ever!
303
00:13:59,235 --> 00:14:00,640
Just forget it.
304
00:14:15,377 --> 00:14:17,393
Rainbow, I'm sorry
about all that.
305
00:14:17,804 --> 00:14:19,383
We didn't mean to
overwhelm you.
306
00:14:19,761 --> 00:14:22,226
It's OK. You were
just trying to help.
307
00:14:22,517 --> 00:14:25,322
It's just too bad I'm too
dumb to learn anything.
308
00:14:25,931 --> 00:14:27,348
You are not dumb.
309
00:14:27,570 --> 00:14:29,059
You just learn differently.
310
00:14:29,436 --> 00:14:31,970
If by "differently"
you mean "not at all"
311
00:14:31,988 --> 00:14:33,541
then you're totally right.
312
00:14:34,351 --> 00:14:36,115
No, that's totally wrong.
313
00:14:36,435 --> 00:14:37,996
See? Wrong again.
314
00:14:40,517 --> 00:14:43,463
I don't know anypony that's read
more Daring Do books than you.
315
00:14:43,789 --> 00:14:46,160
Well, that's not gonna get
me into the Wonderbolts.
316
00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:48,296
And your knowledge of
jokes and pranks
317
00:14:48,308 --> 00:14:49,705
is only rivaled by Pinkie.
318
00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:53,094
Great, my years of being
a class clown
319
00:14:53,139 --> 00:14:56,105
prevented me from actually
learning how to learn.
320
00:14:56,813 --> 00:14:58,124
That's not what I meant.
321
00:14:58,448 --> 00:15:00,899
You're smart, creative,
inventive, and...Ugh!
322
00:15:02,513 --> 00:15:04,905
Hey! I know you're upset,
but you don't need to--
323
00:15:08,887 --> 00:15:09,693
Whoa!
324
00:15:10,323 --> 00:15:11,808
I almost slammed into that.
325
00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:12,745
I know!
326
00:15:12,942 --> 00:15:15,254
You were jabbering on so
much, you didn't even notice.
327
00:15:15,601 --> 00:15:16,848
But how did you notice?
328
00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:19,588
You were listening and
talking to me the whole time.
329
00:15:19,832 --> 00:15:21,699
Ha ha! You're such a rookie.
330
00:15:22,015 --> 00:15:24,659
An experienced flyer like
me knows how to multi-task.
331
00:15:25,073 --> 00:15:26,347
While you fly?
332
00:15:26,686 --> 00:15:27,428
It's essential.
333
00:15:27,908 --> 00:15:29,416
Yes, I was paying
attention to you,
334
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:32,524
but was also scanning the sky
and the ground for any problems.
335
00:15:32,934 --> 00:15:33,744
Really?
336
00:15:34,253 --> 00:15:35,884
Flying's not just flying.
337
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,105
In order to stay
safe in the sky,
338
00:15:38,353 --> 00:15:40,013
I've got to hear and
see everything
339
00:15:40,027 --> 00:15:41,352
down to the littlest detail.
340
00:15:41,945 --> 00:15:44,827
For instance, I saw Apple Bloom,
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo
341
00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:46,126
come out of Sugar Cube Corner.
342
00:15:46,536 --> 00:15:47,385
And from the looks of it,
343
00:15:47,488 --> 00:15:49,555
they had carrot cupcakes
with sprinkles.
344
00:15:50,446 --> 00:15:53,408
And I'm thinking Big Mac
sold a huge order of apples
345
00:15:53,414 --> 00:15:57,529
to Filthy Rich because I heard
him give a very hearty, "Eeyup."
346
00:15:59,607 --> 00:16:01,529
I always make note of
everything when I fly.
347
00:16:01,957 --> 00:16:02,620
No biggie.
348
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,020
Oh my gosh!
349
00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:05,666
What?
350
00:16:05,974 --> 00:16:06,677
Gotta go!
351
00:16:07,814 --> 00:16:09,320
Yeah, I get it.
352
00:16:09,584 --> 00:16:12,686
I wouldn't want to hang out
with a loser like me either.
353
00:16:22,842 --> 00:16:24,388
Thanks for meeting
me, everypony.
354
00:16:24,536 --> 00:16:25,594
What is it, Twilight?
355
00:16:25,859 --> 00:16:27,371
We have to help Rainbow Dash.
356
00:16:28,952 --> 00:16:30,321
Yes, but how?
357
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:32,745
We've tried every
kind of studying.
358
00:16:32,952 --> 00:16:34,768
My way, your way.
359
00:16:34,905 --> 00:16:37,104
But we haven't tried
Rainbow Dash's way.
360
00:16:37,434 --> 00:16:39,650
Hm, I'm intrigued.
361
00:16:41,198 --> 00:16:43,730
OK, listen up, ponies;
here's the plan.
362
00:16:49,738 --> 00:16:50,595
Hey, Rainbow.
363
00:16:51,096 --> 00:16:52,124
Wanna go for a fly?
364
00:16:52,876 --> 00:16:54,489
Sure.
365
00:16:54,591 --> 00:16:55,902
Got nothin' better to do.
366
00:16:59,588 --> 00:17:01,012
Didn't we just do this?
367
00:17:01,461 --> 00:17:03,832
Yes but, like you said,
I'm such a newbie,
368
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,455
I need all the
practice I can get.
369
00:17:07,984 --> 00:17:10,901
Yeah, well, I'm sure you'll
become a great flier in no time.
370
00:17:11,217 --> 00:17:13,414
After all, you're
good at everything.
371
00:17:17,594 --> 00:17:19,888
So what's going on?
372
00:17:20,113 --> 00:17:21,092
Oh, nothing.
373
00:17:21,346 --> 00:17:23,090
Just getting my
dreams crushed.
374
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:26,160
Uh,read any good books lately?
375
00:17:27,383 --> 00:17:28,749
Just history books.
376
00:17:29,254 --> 00:17:30,532
I'd tell you what
they're about,
377
00:17:30,589 --> 00:17:32,805
but my brain is
as dry as a rock.
378
00:17:33,824 --> 00:17:37,676
Speaking of rocks, did
you know Pinkie Pie
379
00:17:37,683 --> 00:17:39,170
grew up on a rock farm?
380
00:17:39,738 --> 00:17:42,602
Maybe I'll go work there,
since I have no other plans
381
00:17:42,844 --> 00:17:44,228
for the rest of my life.
382
00:17:44,696 --> 00:17:45,921
Oh, come on now, Rainbow.
383
00:17:46,142 --> 00:17:47,736
You can't give up on your dream.
384
00:17:48,130 --> 00:17:50,618
Seems my dream has
given up on me.
385
00:17:51,104 --> 00:17:52,770
Maybe I'll learn
to shine shoes.
386
00:17:53,024 --> 00:17:53,886
Sell hats.
387
00:17:54,152 --> 00:17:54,961
Dig ditches.
388
00:17:55,531 --> 00:17:57,490
Or maybe you'll be
a Wonderbolt.
389
00:17:58,109 --> 00:18:01,070
Twilight, give it
up! I have.
390
00:18:07,410 --> 00:18:09,959
So! What do you remember
about that flight?
391
00:18:10,425 --> 00:18:12,288
Nothing important.
392
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:15,777
Except, after Luna was
banished to the moon,
393
00:18:15,783 --> 00:18:17,640
Celestia needed
protective forces,
394
00:18:17,654 --> 00:18:20,920
so Earth, Unicorn, and Pegasi
formed the E.U.P. Guard
395
00:18:20,932 --> 00:18:23,133
of the Protective
Pony Platoons.
396
00:18:24,558 --> 00:18:25,334
Yes?
397
00:18:25,758 --> 00:18:29,689
And at the celebration of the
first Celestial Year of Peace,
398
00:18:29,918 --> 00:18:31,736
an elite flying
squadron performed
399
00:18:31,953 --> 00:18:34,796
headed by General Firefly
who later named the group
400
00:18:34,915 --> 00:18:36,126
the Wonderbolts!
401
00:18:36,187 --> 00:18:36,915
Uh huh?
402
00:18:37,205 --> 00:18:39,808
Commander Easy Glider
established flight choreography
403
00:18:39,949 --> 00:18:42,078
that is still used by
the Wonderbolts today.
404
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,506
Yes!
405
00:18:43,836 --> 00:18:45,920
I know the history.
406
00:18:46,290 --> 00:18:47,326
I know it all.
407
00:18:47,620 --> 00:18:50,253
But how in Equestria
did that happen?
408
00:18:50,643 --> 00:18:51,949
You learned it.
409
00:18:52,144 --> 00:18:54,645
Yeah, I got that, but how?
410
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,023
Well, on our first flight, I
discovered that you catalogue
411
00:18:58,091 --> 00:19:00,163
everything that happens all
around you when you're flying
412
00:19:00,273 --> 00:19:01,839
without even thinking about it.
413
00:19:03,937 --> 00:19:04,872
Don't you see?
414
00:19:05,096 --> 00:19:07,633
I made use of your special
skills by enlisting everypony
415
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,871
to help you learn the
History of the Wonderbolts.
416
00:19:11,818 --> 00:19:16,392
I, Princess Celestia, banish
you, Princess Luna to the moon.
417
00:19:16,899 --> 00:19:18,934
No!
418
00:19:23,404 --> 00:19:24,007
Earth!
419
00:19:24,464 --> 00:19:25,630
Unicorn!
420
00:19:25,945 --> 00:19:27,116
Pegasus!
421
00:19:27,611 --> 00:19:28,169
E!
422
00:19:28,643 --> 00:19:29,496
U!
423
00:19:29,709 --> 00:19:30,558
P!
424
00:19:31,149 --> 00:19:31,920
Eeyup.
425
00:19:32,282 --> 00:19:36,074
Let us celebrate our first
Celestial Year of Peace.
426
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:38,747
Yeah. Let's party.
I'm General Firefly.
427
00:19:38,967 --> 00:19:41,207
Gee, my costume is
itchy and unattractive.
428
00:19:41,531 --> 00:19:43,695
But I'm gonna assemble
an awesome flying team.
429
00:19:45,170 --> 00:19:48,862
I'll call them the Wonderbolts.
430
00:19:48,991 --> 00:19:51,201
Streamlined style
by Flaire de Mare.
431
00:19:51,549 --> 00:19:52,911
Admiral Fair Weather.
432
00:19:53,432 --> 00:19:55,441
Colonel Purple Dart.
433
00:19:55,664 --> 00:19:58,144
Admiral Fairy Flight.
434
00:19:58,649 --> 00:19:59,670
General Flash.
435
00:20:00,150 --> 00:20:02,296
Commander Easy Glider.
436
00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:19,106
The History of the Wonderbolts.
437
00:20:20,331 --> 00:20:22,337
Oh my gosh, oh my
gosh, oh my gosh!
438
00:20:22,624 --> 00:20:23,555
Thank you!
439
00:20:23,652 --> 00:20:25,797
Thank you all so much!
440
00:20:25,972 --> 00:20:26,893
You're welcome.
441
00:20:26,991 --> 00:20:28,333
But it all came from you.
442
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:31,462
You learn without
knowing you're learning.
443
00:20:31,549 --> 00:20:33,795
Your main focus is flying,
but then your brain
444
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,189
is also absorbing lots of
other information.
445
00:20:36,481 --> 00:20:38,474
It's actually
really brilliant.
446
00:20:39,020 --> 00:20:41,851
Ha! I always knew
I was brilliant.
447
00:20:45,420 --> 00:20:48,189
Rainbow Dash finally learned
the History of the Wonderbolts.
448
00:20:48,489 --> 00:20:50,848
But she's not the only
pony that needed a lesson.
449
00:20:51,272 --> 00:20:53,763
I needed to learn something
just as important.
450
00:20:54,316 --> 00:20:56,495
One way of learning isn't
better than another.
451
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,599
After all, everypony is
unique and individual.
452
00:21:28,433 --> 00:21:30,183
Ha ha! Whoo!
