Episode 6:
Boast Busters

Spike encourages
"Come on, Twi! You can do it!"
He sticks his face out

From above his mouth
A GLORIOUS 'stache erupts!
"Ha-ha! You did it!"

He checks off the trick
She has twenty-five so far
And she's not done yet!

Spike likes this one best!
Looks in the mirror, posing.
He'll show Rarity!

Twilight smirks at him
To Spike's dismay, she removes
The magical hair

Talking about magic
Unicorns have a little
Magical talent

But what if they have
A magic special talent?
Just like Twilight does!

"There's not another
In all of Equestria
With your abilities!"

As Spike speaks those words
Two blurs go rushing past them
And he gets tripped up

Two small unicorns
Rushing to see some magic
They are Snips and Snails

A new unicorn
Claims to be most powerful
Spike's not buying it

She's in the town square
Putting on a magic show
They go see what's up

The whole town's gathered
Around a cart- It expands
It's a makeshift stage!

A large cloud of smoke
Appears, and then dissapates
Now there's a pony!

A hat upon her head
And a cloak placed on her back
Create her outfit

"Watch in awe!" she yells
Great and Powerful Trixie
Will perform magic

Rears on her hind legs
Pinwheels and sparks everywhere!
Impressive effects

Rarity is not
Impressed by Trixie's antics
"My, my, what boasting!"

Spike begins to tell
Of Twilight's greater prowess
He sees Rarity

Speech interrupted
Spike exclaims loudly, "Mustache!"
And he bolts away

Twilight sees nothing
That's bad about having skill
And her friends agree

Boasting is different
You shouldn't go all over
Showing off your skills

Having much magic
Does not make you almighty
Besides, Rainbow's best!

Err, I mean, yeah! Boo!
"It seems we have NEIGH-sayers!
Who's so ignorant?"

Are they not aware
They are in the presence of
The best unicorn?

Rarity goes “Pfft.”
Just who does she think she is?
“We all know Twilight is-”

Twilight interrupts
Her friends would think SHE’S bragging
She doesn’t want that!

Rainbow Dash flies up
“What makes you think you’re awesome?”
Vanquished an URSA?

Hoofington distressed
Nopony they could turn to
Trixie saved the day!

The story convinced some
Snips and Snails have decided
Trixie IS the best!

Spike starts to get mad
“How do you know? You weren’t there!”
Twilight zips his mouth

Trixie turns to the
Enthusiastic young ones
Claim's she's better

You don't believe her?
Well, she challenges you all
You do it, she does

Are there no takers?
Trixie looks around the crowd
Singles out Twilight

Twilight backs away
She claims she's nothing special
One word goes too far

Applejack steps up
Using her dexterous tail
She swings her lasso

Trixie's horn glowing
Rope hypnotizes AJ
Then it hogties her

Rainbow gets angry
She shouldn't show off like that!
RAINBOW DASH'S job!

She takes to the sky
And spins around a windmill
Then up through the clouds!

Strikes a pose above
Flies back through the holes in clouds
Water follows her

Sudden stop on stage
The water splashes her back
A rainbow then forms

Rainbow’s satisfied
But Trixie just smirks at her
And casts her spell

The rainbow’s spinning
Dash is caught in the middle
Gets flung off the stage

A cloud forms above
Lightning blasts downwards from it
It zaps Rainbow Dash

Spike suggests unicorn
Implying he wants Twilight
Rarity steps in

She thinks they want her
But she won’t give in to it
Beauty and grace- check!

She insults her mane
That angers Rarity more
She says, “It. Is. ON!”

She starts her talent
Pulls Trixie’s curtains over
They become a dress

Trixie’s spell begins
Spike thinks she won’t win this time
She activates it

Everypony gasps
Rarity knows it’s her mane
Her friends encourage

Spike says that it’s green.
Rarity can’t handle green.
It’s an awful color!

Rarity runs off
She insults the color green
Carrot Top is hurt

Twilight is the last
Nopony else can do it
Trixie calls her out

She doesn’t want to
“I hear my laundry calling”
Twilight runs away

“Trixie proved herself
Was there ever any doubt?”
The blue mare struts off

Later, by town hall
Snips and Snails bring a Smoothie
For Trixie’s drinking

The colts stand around
“Yes?” Trixie asks angrily
“Tell us a story”

Trixie brushes off
The colts start to back away
They run into Spike

He asks them what’s up
Drink for the G and P T
Spike begins to rant

Spike tells Snips and Snails
To not believe Trixie’s tales
They haven’t seen it

Snips gets ideas
Snails does not get the same ones
The two of them flee

Spike tries to convince
Twilight doesn’t hear him out
Won’t show up Trixie

Spike accepts at last
Slams the door in Twilight’s face
Opens and walks out

In the Everfree
Snips and Snails find a cavern
Look for an Ursa

Snails lights up his horn
Wakes up a giant blue bear
Not very happy

The bear roars loudly
Snips and snails flee the crime scene
Back to Ponyville

They come across Spike
He begins to run as well
Looking for some help

The colts find Trixie
While Spike runs to find Twilight
One must be able!

Trixie is disturbed
Snips and Snails knock on her door
“What’s so important?!”

The ursa roars out
Trixie bursts out of the door
The three ponies run

Spike enters the tree
Yells at Twilight for some aid
She runs out to help

Snips demands Trixie
She must vanquish the ursa!
Snails tends to agree

“You brought this thing here?”
Trixie can’t believe her ears
In awe of their act

Trixie tries to win
Uses the earlier rope
Ties up two fingers

Summons a storm cloud
It strikes the ursa’s behind
Doesn’t do damage

Twilight reaches them
Snails tells her it is their fault
Twilight is livid

Trixie admits lies
she says she made it all up
Snips and snails are shocked

Ponies in danger
Twilight finally steps up
Begins her magic

The wind blows softly
Cat’s tails create calm music
Ursa gets drowsy

Water tower lifts
Unscrews and pours water out
Floats into the barn

Milking all the cows
Bottle-esque water tower
Ursa starts drinking

Ursa floats in air
Twilight knocked it unconscious
Flies back to its cave

Cheering from ponies
Praise comes from all of her friends
Twilight is worried

Will her friends hate her?
“Why, whatever do you mean?”
“Trixie’s a loudmouth!”

“You don’t mind magic?”
“We’re proud to have you with us”
Spike’s very impressed

Bear was a baby
Not rampaging, just cranky
Somepony woke it

If that’s a minor,
What’s an ursa MAJOR like?
You DON’T wanna know.

Trixie throws smoke bomb
Runs off into the distance
Let her go, Rainbow.

Now, for Snips and Snails
They accept what is coming
Number twenty-five?

Spike wants treatment too
All three grow great mustaches
“Sweet!” they all exclaim.

Talent isn’t bad
Don’t show off for showing off
Accept who you are!
