"Hmph. I suppose you all have been fired, too?"

"Ahh, well, like, totally, but, ah, yeah."

"There's no point in trying."

"I see... so, it appears we have ourselves a new position to scout?"

"Sure."

"Totally."

"Oh, if I wasn't stuck with you two... ahem, shall we make our way, then?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Hey, dude, look, this mare's pacing around a light pole and changing outfits."

"You think she's nuts?"

"Celestia if I know."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Fluttershy?"

"Ugh, like, what do you, like, want, you know?"

"What I want to know is why you're acting all funny."

"Yes, Fluttershy, we've already moved back to Ponyville."

"And didn't ya leave all of those outfits back at Rarity's shop?"

"But the black speaks to me."

"Twilight...?"

"Yes, I'm on it."

FLASH!

"Okay, Flutter... erm..."

"Like, just, call me whatever."

"It doesn't matter."

"Names are a waste of time!"

"Just... don't go anywhere, y'hear?"

"Whatever."

"Sure."

"Most certainly... after I inspect this shop."

"Oh no ya don't, you're stayin' here till-- h-hey, wait!"

"I believe I can get a position here."

"No, Fluttershy, don't--"

"Ugh, like, get your hooves off me! Are you, like, like-liking me or what'eves?"

"Wha...?"

"Face it, AJ. There is no point in hesitating. Life is short and pointless. At least you can make some point out of it."

"Ah..."

"Hmph! Applejack, I always knew you were single, but never had I have been given the unpleasant thought that you were desperate!"

"Wait, no, it's not like that!"

"Ah, like, like that, like, at all, like, no. You know."

"What in the hay does that even mean?!"

"I dunno. Why even bother figuring it out. Will you just leave me alone?"

"No, wait here until-- hey!"

"And, I was, like, literally falling into pieces, because, like, I felt like I was soo falling apart, ya know?"

"Ya, like, totally. Jimmie Shorts was, like, so overrated."

"Get back here!"

"But, like, Jimmie Shorts wasn't that bad, ya know?"

"Oh, like, totally. No."

"Yeah, no."

"Nah."

"Total-- hey, I'm, like, choking on this rope!"

"Out of all the numerous ways to be captured!"

"I've always known this day would come..."

"I ain't hangin' ya! I'm... tying... you... here!"

"Stop in the name of the Law!"

"Oh come on!"

"Show your hooves where I can see them!"

"I'd rather not. My scars run deep..."

"Hey, it's me, AJ. Most reliable pony?"

"..."

"Element of Honesty...?"

"..."

"Twilight's friend."

"Never heard of her."

"The Princess of Friendship?"

"I don't recognise anything you say. Now shut up and stop giving me things I can and will use against you!"

"Finally, somepony knows the concept of justice! Foalnapping is such a Ponyvillian thing..."

"Like, I totally feel you like, that."

"I don't feel anything."

FLASH!

"Okay, I'm here and--"

"Are you this is this 'Twilight'?"

"Yes, I am."

"You're under arrest too."

"But I'm the Princess of Friendship!"

"Exactly. Impersonating a member of Royalty."

"Ain't there anypony who recognizes us?!"
