Once upon a time there was a slumber party. Once upon a time, a pair of friends gave each other a dare: one to enter the local rodeo when it came to town, the other not to enter. Applejack turns out to be quite happy with fulfilling her part of that challenge, but what about Rarity? Is she willing to rise up, climb on to a sweaty, icky beast, and risk her beautiful hide all for the respect of her friends? What about her own self respect? And what will it mean for the relationship between the two?

This time, it's Rarity's Rodeo.

When Twilight opens up her castle to ponies in town with friendship problems, Diamond Tiara comes looking for help with difficult problem—getting a pony she's bullied to forgive her.
So, Twilight sends Starlight Glimmer to help her. Will Starlight and Diamond Tiara be able to sort this problem out, and will Starlight be able to apply what she’s learned from this friendship mission to the few ponies who still hate her?
