"Starswirled Music Festival..."
"...we have arrived!"
"PostCrush!"
"PostCrush, PostCrush, PostCrush!"
"Oh. I see your point."
"Roll call!"
"Kiwi Lollipop..."
"A.K.A. 'K-Lo'!"
"...is the cool one."
"Supernova Zap..."
"A.K.A. 'Su-Z'!"
"...is the zany one!"
Starswirled Music Festival, day one[]
"Starswirled day one!"
"Come and get it!"
WHACK!
"Hey!"
"I'll be more careful from now on."
"So, I says to Big Mac, 'Get your own chicken coop!'"
"What do you call a PostCrush fan..."
"...with three eyes?"
"Pinkie Pie!"
"...I don't get it."
Seriously, Flutters?
The long festival security line[]
SQUISH!
"Security is an art. It cannot be rushed."
Cheese!
Pinkie Pie the easily distracted[]
"All I have to do is guess how many candies are in the jar. And my sugar senses say..."
"...three hundred and five!"
BZZZZT! Wrong!
"The neon garden is..."
"...a maze?!"
Ooh, a piece of candy!
Ooh, a piece of candy!
Ooh, a piece of candy!
Ooh, a piece of candy!
Ooh, a piece of candy!
"Who wants to be part of an art show?"
"I do! I do!"
(This won't end well.)
(...I was right.)
"I spilled paint..."
"...and it looks exactly like Rarity..."
"...with a pirate mustache!"
Getting to the stage / Kicked out[]
Chuuuurrooooos...
"No! I will not give in!"
"This is the worst possible time for churros, Pinkie!"
CRASH!
BUSTED!
Do the day all over again[]
"There they are! Two peas in the pod!"
"How was it? Rad-tacular? Amaze-magic?"
None of the above.
"We missed PostCrush."
"Someone wanted to win a bike..."
"...then got us lost in a maze..."
"...covered in paint..."
"...sidelined by churros..."
"...and finally, kicked out!"
(...She's talking about me, isn't she?)
"I wish we could do the day all over again. I'd do it different."
"Me, too."
"I'd do it alone."
I just wanted to see PostCrush...
BOOM!
What was that?
"Starswirled day one!"
"Come and get it!"
WHACK! (Again!)
"Ow!"
"Sorry. I'll be more careful from now on." Didn't you already say that?
"Starswirled... day one?"
What... just happened?
Part 2[]
The Starswirled do-over[]
"Are you okay?"
"I'm... not sure."
Just like security checkpoints at the airport.
"Security is an art."
"It can't be rushed."
"Anyone else having serious deja vu?"
"Nope. Just deja V-you!"
"Get it? 'Cause it's just you?"
Pinkie the still easily distracted[]
Hehehehe...
"What are we waiting for?"
Oh, Pinkie. What are we going to do with you?
"Who wants to be part of an art show?"
"I do! I do!"
Oh, no! Not again!
"Pinkie Pie just splattered paint..."
"...and it looks exactly like Rarity with a pirate mustache."
"Well, that would prove it for sure!"
How'd you do that?!
Sunset's time loop / Kicked out again[]
"It's possible that yesterday..."
"...a snag in the fabric of spacetime..."
"...could cause a temporal point — i.e., today..."
"...to fold in on itself and thereby repeat."
"Time loop!"
"Time loop!"
"Classic Sunset." How is a time loop 'classic Sunset'?
"This might sound crazy, but..."
"I think Equestrian magic is giving me..."
"...another chance to see PostCrush."
"Eh. Not that crazy."
"Why didn't you see PostCrush?"
"Mistakes were made."
"Our bad."
"No, her bad. You saw whose bad it was, right, sir?"
"Maybe you'll get another another chance?"
Sunset Shimmer goes it alone[]
"Starswirled day one!"
"Come and get it!"
WHACK! (Times three!)
"Thank you!"
"Ow!"
"Thank you!"
"Sorry. I'll be more careful from now on."
(Okay... That was REALLY weird.)
"No time for jokes."
"I'm having fun with my friend!"
Ooh, tasty!
Rude, Puffed Pastry. And after Pinkie saved you on the yacht.
"Sunset... are you..."
"...ditching me?"
Front and center at the concert[]
"Universe, I promise to make the most of this do-over do-over!"
"We did it!"
"PostCrush roll call!"
Oh... Right...
♫ (Yeah) ♫
♫ Be the true, true, true original ♫
♫ Dare to be ♫
♫ What you are meant to be ♫
♫ Working hard, that's our thing ♫
I love you, K-Lo!
♫ All this way, we're perfect, perfectly true ♫
♫ True, true original ♫
♫ True, true original ♫
♫ True, true original ♫
Whoops!
♫ We're perfect, perfectly true ♫
"What a perfect day!"
Part 3[]
The end of a perfect day[]
"There she is. The lone wolf!"
"Pinkie Pie's been actin' mighty strange this evening."
"Any idea what might've happened to her?"
Uhhh... (Quick! Think of a lie!)
"We... lost track of each other."
Well, that's... disturbing.
"How was the SHOW?"
"It was..."
"...perfect."
"I was being judgmental, darling."
"What is the point of throwing shade..."
"...if no one's there to catch it?"
"Talk tomorrow?"
Yeah. Tomorrow. If you're LUCKY.
Awwww, Pinkie so sad.
The days go round and round[]
Ahhh. What a beautiful NEW day.
...Wait.
...No...
"It... can't be. It's still—"
"Starswirled day one!"
"Come and get it!"
WHACK! (x4)
"I'll be more careful from now on." No, Dash. No, you won't.
"Okay, Equestrian magic."
"My..."
"...do-over..."
"...can..."
"...end..."
"...NOW!"
Sigh. Here we go again.
"Cue Snips..."
"...and push Sandalwood out of the way in three, two..."
Whoa! How'd you do that, Sunset?!
"Could've warned me, you know?"
"Tried that. You called me a witch."
"Are you?!"
"Hey, watch it!"
"Sorry. Thought you didn't come up 'til later."
"I'll make a note of that for next time."
"Day seventeen – saw paint guy by food truck..."
"...right before he breaks up with his girlfriend." Wait... What?
"It's not you, it's her."
"I'm not a witch."
You jerk!
"I'm just gonna go."
"Yeah, well... you better run!"
Honey, wait!
"Run from my problems?"
"I... actually haven't tried that yet."
Break away, find a great escape[]
Anyone else feel the floor moving?
"I gotta break out of here somehow!"
"Maybe if I leave the campgrounds, it'll finally end!"
"What. Are. You. Talking about?!"
"This is all your fault!"
"Are you saying the calendar industry..."
"...cooked up a conspiracy..."
"...to make every day today..."
"...just to save paper?!" Even for you, that's a crazy idea, Pinkie.
"No, I'm not saying that at all."
"You're right."
"It's too obvious."
"It's possible a snag..."
"...in the fabric of spacetime..."
"...could cause a temporal point..."
"– i.e., this day –"
"– i.e., this day –"
"– i.e., this day –"
"...to fold in on itself and thereby repeat."
"You really have done this a lot."
"You really have done this a lot."
"You really have done this a lot."
"Okay, you've made your point! Stop!"
"Okay, you've made your point! Stop!"
"Okay, you've made your point! Stop!"
"What did Princess Twilight say when you told her about this?"
"The journal! Of course! How did I not try that weeks ago?"
Secrets of the Time Twirler[]
"Starswirled day one!"
"Come and get it!"
WHACK! (x18)
"Ow."
"I'll be more careful from now on."
"No, Rainbow Dash. You won't!"
"Every day you say that..."
"...but you never are!"
"Why won't you change?!" Um... because that's how time loops work, Sunset.
"Okaaaaay..."
Waiting...
Still waiting...
More waiting...
Even more waiting...
YOU'VE GOT J-MAIL!
"Sunset, I've been doing some research..."
"...and it looks like you've found..."
"...another long lost Equestrian artifact."
"Lucky me."
Ctrl + C.
Ctrl + V.
"If we find whoever used the Time Twirler to start the loop..."
"...we'll be able to end it for good."
"Tell the others we've got a new mission."
Search for the Time Twirler[]
"Have you noticed anyone who doesn't belong?"
"Anyone out of place?"
"Anyone... EVIL?!"
"How could I? Every day is the same!"
♫ Every day's the same ♫
"It goes round and round."
"Wait. What was that?"
♫ Round and round and round and round ♫
"Hey, what are you listening to?"
Hmmm... That green fog looks awfully familiar...
"They must be a last-minute addition!"
"Who?"
"But they lost their voices!"
"They gotta be using magic!"
"That or vocal processing."
"They wouldn't!"
"Wait, what am I talking about? Of course they would."
♫ Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, let's find ♫
♫ Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, let's find ♫
♫ Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, let's find the magic ♫
"The Dazzlings are back?!"
Did you miss us, bronies?
Part 4[]
Return of the Dazzlings[]
"That song's called Find the Magic."
"Human scum."
"The chord progression is kind of samey-samey."
"And the Dazzlings are behind the time loop!"
"Still no excuse for lazy songwriting."
"You're a V.-important-P. to me."
"The weak shall crumble before me!"
"No distractions, no detours, no..."
"...walking off while I'm talking to you."
Equestria Girls vs. backstage[]
"Last summer, weren't you working at the, um...?"
"Cat food convention?"
"You were the guy who..."
"Yeah. I... got..."
"...FIRED!"
"What happened again?"
"I tried taking a kitten home with me, all right?"
"But that's against the rules!"
"Was it an orange cat?"
"Tuxedo!"
"Ask me her name!"
"See what happens!"
"What was her na—?"
KICKED OUT.
"I guess I don't got this."
"You don't. But together, we do."
"For a time looper..."
"...today's failure is..."
"...tomorrow's success."
The 19th loop / Open your heart[]
"What do you call a PostCrush fan with three eyes?"
No time for jokes, Pinkie. We have a critical mission!
Gaaaaaasp!
Oh... my... GOSH!
"Say hello to Hattie the kitty cat."
"Hello, Mr. Kitty."
"If you spend all your time keeping people out..."
"...how are you ever gonna let anybody in..."
"...to your heart?"
"Great idea, Sunset!"
"We came up with it together."
Infiltrating the Dazzlings' van[]
"Ooooh, that was our best show yet!"
"The loop is really working."
"Of course it's working."
"It was my idea."
"I knew it!"
"I bet they're hiding the Time Twirler somewhere in their tour bus."
"Looks more like a tour van to me."
Get down before they see you!
"Did one of you remember to take the bread out of the toaster?"
"It's not my job to not start fires."
Looking at YOU, tacos-for-brains.
"How was I supposed to know..."
"...you can't put tacos in the toaster?"
"Ugh. You two are so annoying."
"I will not give in!"
Mmmm... Churros...
"No. No, no, no!"
Ohhhh, but they look so good!
Maybe just one!
"No! No!"
But I'm sooooo hungry!
I'm sure Sunset won't mind! Come to mama, my sweet churros!
Sunset Shimmer the snooper[]
"Who leaves toast in a toaster?"
"Don't even think about eating our toast, Sunset Shimmer!"
"I was wrong. This is the worst possible time for churros."
"What are you doing on our bus?"
"Sorry, not sorry, Adagio."
"But it's time to take this track off repeat."
"I heard you admit the time loop was your idea."
"Time loop? What?"
"We looped a vocal track."
Geode powers, activate!
"...You're telling the truth."
"Of course I am!"
"But your song. 'Every day is the same'."
"That's about being stuck..."
"...in this miserable human world with no magic..."
"...or hope of returning to Equestria."
"And by the way, if there's Equestrian magic afoot around here..."
"...we call dibs."
Sunset Shimmer lashes out[]
"I thought if anyone would want to be able to redo the day..."
"...and fix their mistakes, it's you three."
"We made the mistake of using our powers..."
"...to manipulate Canterlot High School..."
"...and we've paid the price for it..."
"...with our magic."
"Unless you count the magic of vocal processing."
"Which I don't!"
"What I'm saying is..."
"...we already get a do-over with every new day."
"It's called living life."
"You should try it sometime."
"I can't!"
"Poor Sunset Shimmer. Are you mad?"
"I don't get a new day, okay?"
"I get this day forever!"
"Nothing changes!"
"I can't tell you how sick I am..."
"...of Pinkie Pie ruining everything..."
"...by running off to get churros!"
"I hate churros!"
"...Oh."
"I, uh... just wanted to say the Dazzlings are back..."
"...but I see you see they see you seeing them..."
"...and you've seen me too, so, um... see ya."
"Cool tour bus!"
"No, Pinkie! I didn't mean it!"
"If the day's always the same, maybe you're the one who needs to change."
Part 5[]
Pinkie Pie's worst day ever[]
"Pinkie Pie, wait up!"
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay!"
"Did you convince the Dazzlings to break the time loop?"
"No. It wasn't them."
"Well... I'm gonna find a nice line to wait in..."
"...so I don't ruin it for you again."
"You deserve to have a good day, Sunset."
"So do you, Pinkie Pie."
And so you SHALL, Pinkie Pie!
The 20th loop / Pinkie Pie's day[]
Okay, Equestrian magic! Let's make this Pinkie Pie's best day ever!
"Starswirled day one!"
"Come and get it!"
SWING AND A MISS!
"Not today!"
"What do you call a PostCrush fan with three eyes?"
"You call her Pinkie Pie..."
"...because you spell your name with three I's!"
"Ohhhh."
"Puns."
"In your face, mud!"
"Uhhh, you okay?"
"Never better."
"Pick whichever you want."
"They're all slow, but security is an art. It can't be rushed."
My girl!
My man!
Bump.
"Win a tandem bicycle?!"
"My sugar senses say..."
"...three hundred and five!"
BZZZT! Try again!
"Five hundred seventy-two and a half..."
"...counting the green jellybean you ate part of in the parking lot."
Whaaaaat?! Are you a witch?!
Day of the dynamic duo[]
Wheeeee!
Look! Rarity with a mustache!
You call THAT a mustache? THIS is a mustache!
"This is the best day ever!"
"And now, for the grand finale!"
"What's that smell?"
"You'll see."
Churros for ze adorable couple?
"How did you know?!"
"Two, please."
"When I did things alone my way, I realized having a perfect day wasn't perfect without..."
"...you."
"Awwww."
"Mine's hard as a rock!"
"This is like eating a crowbar."
"Your lousy golf cart broke down on me for the last time!"
"Find someone else to deliver churros backstage to PostCrush..."
"...because I quit!"
Zut alors!
You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Sunset, Pinkie, and PostCrush[]
"See what happens when you embrace the chaos of our friendship?"
"This couldn't happen with all the mission-planning in the world."
"Tell me what happens!"
"Nope. First time."
"I'm glad it's with the other half of my dynamic duo."
"Special delivery!"
"We are huge, huge, ginormous fans!"
"Heeeey. The usual delivery guy..."
"...looks like two girls today."
Shhhh!
"I mean, today's the first time we have done this!"
"Yesterday was, um... a different day."
Ugggghhhh.
"Today can be a funny thing."
"Thanks for being fans, but we gotta... you know... get on stage."
"Before you go on..."
"...at least give me the honor of shaking your hand."
"Anything for a fan."
Gotcha! Geode powers, activate!
Kiwi Lollipop's memories[]
"Tomorrow has to be perfect! We've only got one shot at this!"
"As if I'm not super-duper aware, K-Lo!"
What's that?
Gaaaaaasp.
REDO!
REDO!
"Your voice? So flat!"
"Ugh! I can't!"
"Whatever!"
"We can just do it all over again!"
Inner band tensions.
REDO!
We will never stop the loop[]
"You found the Time Twirler!"
"You're the ones causing the time loop!"
Gasp!
"Pause. How did you see my brain?"
"We're gonna loop our show..."
"...'til it's perfect!"
"A fangirl like you wouldn't get it."
"Unless you're such a fangirl, you do get it."
"You know fans can never get it."
"But I do."
"I wanted things to go perfectly, too."
"But now I know they never do."
"Then we. Stop. Never!"
"And now that we know you're in on our little secret..."
"...you'll never set foot inside this festival again."
"Go ahead. Take our pictures and hang them up."
"Tomorrow morning, they'll all disappear."
"Ever heard of drawings?"
"Everything resets."
"You don't, and neither do we."
"Now that I've seen your faces..."
"...I'm an art school dropout..."
"...and you better believe I can draw your faces so good..."
"...guards will ban you at the gate from now until..."
"...4eva!"
"4eva-eva!"
"Security!"
"We got a code chartreuse – crazy fan alert!"
"How are you gonna let anyone in if you keep kicking people out?!"
"Tonight is my last chance to stop this..."
"...before I get banned for life!"
Part 6[]
Getting back inside / Final mission[]
"At least we'll be together."
"You know what? That actually makes being trapped at an eternal music festival..."
"...seem not half bad."
D'awwwww.
"Churros is magic!"
"Hey!"
"You two!"
"I remember you."
"You respected my security line earlier today."
"So many of these kids just don't get it."
"So I thought, 'Hey, self...'"
"...'these gals aren't crazy fans. They're just fans.'"
"'...And they didn't do anything... illegal.'"
"Weren't about to, either!"
"You are the best security guard ever!"
"They trapped my best friend..."
"...at a super fun music festival..."
"...without me for weeks!"
"They are so going down!"
Struggle for the Time Twirler[]
"I'm getting tired of living the same day over and over."
"Can this please be our last performance?"
"We've been over this, Su-Z."
"We don't stop until we get it perfect."
"Sorry to interrupt, buuuut..."
"...you have something that doesn't belong to you."
"Who let you two back in?!"
"Give us the Time Twirler now!"
"If you were real fans, you'd want this show to be perfect!"
"Eh. Nothing's perfect."
Churro-rang, go!
Ow, my arm!
Breaking the loop / This one's for real[]
Well... this is awkward.
FUMBLE!
"We did use to have a lot of fun."
"Guess we got so wrapped up in the pressure to be perfect..."
"...we forgot."
"So what do you say?"
"This one's for real."
"Let's do it then. For real."
"It'll be you and me. Just like old times."
"Whatever happens happens."
