S01E03 The Ticket Master
Twilight pulled in the letter out of Spike's breath. "It's a letter from Princess Celestia!" She spent a few moments reading through it carefully, then her face brightened. "I've been invited to the Grand Galloping Gala, plus one guest!"
Spike burped again. "Look, two tickets!"
"Wow, great! I've never been to the gala. Have you, Spike?"
"No, and I plan to keep it that way. I don't want any of that girly frilly frou-frou nonsense."
Twilight leaned toward him. "Aw, come on Spike. A dance would be nice."
"Nice? It's a heap good more than just nice. I'd love to go. Land sakes, if I had an apple stand set up, ponies would be chowin' our tasty vittles till the cows came home. Do you have any idea how much business I could drum up for Sweet Apple Acres? Why, with all that money, we could do a heap of fixin' up 'round here. We could replace that saggy old roof, and Big McIntosh could replace that saggy old plow, and Granny Smith could replace that saggy old hip." Applejack blinked a couple times, seeming to come out of her trance. "Why, I'd give my left hind leg to go to that gala."
"Well, in that case, would you like to go?"
"Woah!" Rainbow's sudden crash into her prevented any reply from Applejack. "Are we talking about The Grand Galloping Gala?"
Applejack scowled at her. "Rainbow Dash, you told me you were too busy to help me harvest apples. What were you busy doing, spyin'?"
"No, I was busy napping, and I just happened to hear that you have an extra ticket?"
Twilight winced. "Yeah, but..."
"YES! This is so awesome. The Wonderbolts perform at The Grand Galloping Gala every year. I can see it now. Everyone would be watching the sky. Their eyes riveted on The Wonderbolts, but then in would fly Rainbow Dash! I would draw their attention with my Super Speed Strut. Then, I would mesmerize 'em with my Fantastic Filly Flash. And for my grand finale, The Buccaneer Blaze! The ponies would go wild! The Wonderbolts would insist that my signature moves be incorporated into their routine, and then welcome me as their newest member. Don't you see, Twilight? This could be my one chance to show 'em my stuff. You gotta take me!"
Applejack pulled her back by the tail. "Hold on just one pony pickin' minute here. I asked for that ticket first."
"So?" Rainbow pulled her tail back. "That doesn't mean you own it."
"Girls, girls." Twilight held her hooves up. "Relax. Watch, I've got the perfect spell for this." With a bright magical glow from Twilight's horn, one of the tickets flashed bright purple. Suddenly, there were three.
"A duplication spell?" Rainbow grabbed one of the floating tickets. "Nice!"
Applejack's eyes went distant for a moment, and she tapped her chin. "Hey, ya think the rest of our friends might like to go too?"
Twilight smiled. "Let's ask them! There are plenty of tickets to go around."
* * *
"Would I like to go to the most amazing super-exclusive party EVER? Of course! Sign me up!" Pinkie bounced crazily around, a challenge to keep track of.
With another flash, another ticket duplicated.
* * *
Rarity gasped. "The Gala? I've always dreamed of going. Of course I will!"
A freshly duplicated ticket floated over to her.

"Oh, hi Fluttershy." Twilight smiled. "We were just looking for you. Would you like an invitation to the Grand Galloping Gala?"
"Um... well, no." Fluttershy scuffed a hoof against the ground for a moment, until her bunny tapped her on the leg. "But I would love to go to the gardens around the dance! I hear they're lovely, especially on that night."
"Well, we'd love to have you with us!" Twilight sent another ticket floating over to another friend. "Okay, Spike, that's all of them. I guess everypony wants to go."
"Heh, good thing you learned that duplication spell, or this would have been rough!"
Twilight wiped her brow. "You're telling me. Come on, I'm starving. Let's head over to the cafe."

This series is basicly MLP without the morals. This pleases us.
5025874 Is there a way I can give you a thumbs up and a thumbs down at the same time?
.......Wouldn't there be some kinda security measures against this kinda thing? I mean it's essentially a free pass into the castle so they would be probably have dealt with a few ponies trying to do this.
This story has no flow no morals and if you wanted this to be simplified you should of had her go to Celestia right away. Also and this is coming from a poor editor, you have no flow or indication of character change. I am genuinly interested in this but it would really benefit from an edit and better pacing.
There is something odd about this story. It is not outrageous? overpowered? enough. It just seems to be a sped up version of the original. It seems really fast, with not much of a plot. It reminds me of something.
That is is. That is exactly it.
KBO.

Did she just forge a whole lot of tickets?
Actually, now Twilight is just committing fraud.
Yeah...she just forged the tickets of royal party, right?
And then, they were stopped at the gates, when ticket control detected the usage of duplication magic. Twilight Sparkle was charged 3000 bits.
Seriously, in a world where duplication magic exists, do you think that they are not gonna have some way to prevent illegal tickets?
Or... Twilight is so OP that she can cast a spell that cannot be detect at the ticket control.

Agree.
5031999 I think that's the joke.
That's counterfeiting.
Short but straight to the point...I like this.
Yeah this is defiantly like how it should have ended YouTube videos, only mlp style! Love it!

It'll probably be addressed in the finale.

Yeah, I was expecting her to just write the Princess and ask for more.
Ahh, old famous economy-crash spell.
Why they still have work, is surprises me.

The Equestrian government strongly frowns upon using duplication spells on money.
Wouldn't this be illegal? Or, at the very least, heavily monitored? I mean, sure, it's likely that not all unicorns can do a duplication spell, but I can see a thriving business for those that can do the duplication spell on the tickets.

lol, I dunno.

I think it would be illegal, otherwise businesses would be losing money.
