Start from the beginning
                                    

[rustling]

Rainbow Dash: [whispering] Okay, here's... [becomes indistinct]

Rarity: Huuuuh? [pause] I... just found out they're offering face painting for the little ones. [laughs nervously] [whispers]

Spike: [under his breath] Uh-huh. We can do that. Twilight's doing what?!

Rarity: He... really... loves getting his face painted. Haha.

Rainbow Dash: Who wants a flugelhorn?

Pinkie Pie: I want a flugelhorn!

Rainbow Dash: Who else wants a flugelhorn?

Pinkie Pie: [screaming] I want a flugelhorn!!

Spike: [pants] Twilight, wait! I'm coming with you!

Twilight Sparkle: You can't. I have to retrieve the Crystal Heart by myself.

Spike: I know. I promise I won't lift a claw to help you.

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] Not a claw, Spike.

Spike: Where are we going exactly?

Twilight Sparkle: I think I might know where King Sombra hid the Crystal Heart.

Spike: The castle?

Twilight Sparkle: The king would've been counting on the fact that nopony would dare come looking for it here. They'd have been too afraid to even try.

Spike: I hope you're right.

Twilight Sparkle: You and me both.

Applejack: [whinnies in surprise]

Rainbow Dash: What are you lookin' at?! That's what I thought!

Applejack: [whispering] Uh, Rainbow Dash? We're supposed to be actin' like nothing's wrong.

Rainbow Dash: Exactly. [growls]

Applejack: [hushed] What I mean is, maybe you should let me keep the Crystal Ponies away from the fake Heart, while you show off your joustin' skills.

Rainbow Dash: Huh. Seeing my awesomeness does have a way of putting ponies into a pretty good mood.

[ewes bleating]

Rainbow Dash: Come on, Knight Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: Huh?

Rainbow Dash: It's showtime.

Applejack: How are y'all feelin'? Havin' a good time?

Autumn Gem: The best I've had in over a thousand years!

Applejack: Well, that's good! Gotta renew that spirit of love and unity if you're gonna power up that Crystal Heart, right?

Autumn Gem: I sure would like to see it before the ceremony. It's been such a long time.

Applejack: Oh, I hear ya, but, uh... phew! Gettin' a little toasty out here. Bet you'd like to cool off with a little Crystal Empire nectar! [panicked noise] Uh, you tried the Crystal Empire fritters yet? Made from a traditional Crystal Empire recipe! You're gonna love 'em! [loudly] Uh, I hear there's a joustin' match about to start! You don't wanna miss that! [hushed] Come on, Twilight... These Crystal Ponies are more curious than a cat!

Twilight Sparkle: [panting, noises of exertion, sighs]

Spike: [pants]

Twilight Sparkle: It's gotta be here somewhere. It's just gotta be! Not a claw, Spike.
