Hail Mary
Tired of feeling like a no-talent outcast, Spike decides to join the school football team alongside Applejack and Rainbow Dash, in hopes it may help him deal with his problems with bullies, and gain the courage to speak to the woman of his dreams.
A Hail Mary pass is a long, desperate throw in the game of Equestrian Football. It's usually the game changer as attempting it could end in a turnaround or utter failure. Here we have Spike; in tenth grade, with few friends, and dealing with both bullies and social ineptitude. Daring to risk changing that which he perceives as weak about himself, he makes a spontaneous decision to join the Equestrian Football team at his school. Perhaps he intends to remove the slack from bullies, become more of a man, get the girl, or just satisfy himself, knowing he at least tried. This is Spike's attempt at a Hail Mary.
