Transcripts/Deep Tissue Memories


 * Rainbow Dash: So all I need to do is get Twilight to talk about a couple of memories?
 * Spike: Twilight's so busy, the spa's the only place we could think of where you could "run into her".
 * Starlight Glimmer: Thanks again for agreeing to this. I know this place isn't exactly your kind of thing.
 * Rainbow Dash: It sure isn't! But, you know, it's for Twilight, so I'm willing to suffer through anything.
 * [door opens]
 * Lotus Blossom: Ah, Rainbow Dash! So good to see you again!
 * Aloe: Would you like your usual suite of treatments?
 * Rainbow Dash: [laughs nervously]


 * [theme song]


 * [door opens]
 * [door closes]
 * Lotus Blossom: [gasps] Princess Twilight Sparkle! It has always been such a pleasure to serve the Princess of Friendship, but now you will be the ruler of all Equestria!
 * Twilight Sparkle: And getting ready for the coronation is pretty hectic. I need some time for myself. Becoming a ruler is exhausting.
 * Rainbow Dash: Tell me about it! I choreographed a whole routine for the coronation and led the Wonderbolts through it today. It really took it out of me. I can't imagine leading everypony in Equestria.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Hey, Rainbow Dash. I didn't realize you came to the spa after practice.
 * Rainbow Dash: Heh. All the time! Y-You know, for... for the deep tissue sports massage. It really helps with the sore muscles and flexibility. [grunts]
 * Twilight Sparkle: [laughs] Well, if you're here, I believe it.
 * [pages flipping]
 * Rainbow Dash: So when do you think you realized just how athletic I was?
 * Twilight Sparkle: Um, the first moment we met.


 * Spike: Hmm, there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she?
 * [whack]
 * [splat]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Nng.
 * Rainbow Dash: [sheepish laughter] Uh, 'scuse me? [more sheepish laughter]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Nnnn.
 * Rainbow Dash: [laughter] Lemme help you.
 * [rushing water]
 * Rainbow Dash: [more sheepish laughter] Oops, I guess I overdid it. Um, uh, how about this? My very own patented Rain-Blow Dry! No no. Don't thank me. You're quite welcome. [bursts out laughing]
 * Spike: [bursts out laughing]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Let me guess. You're Rainbow Dash.
 * Rainbow Dash: The one and only. Why, you heard of me?
 * Twilight Sparkle: I heard you were supposed to be keeping the sky clear. [sigh] I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the Princess sent me to check on the weather.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap. I'll do it in a jiffy. Just as soon as I'm done practicing.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Practicing for what?
 * Rainbow Dash: The Wonderbolts! They're gonna perform at the Celebration tomorrow, and I'm gonna show 'em my stuff!
 * Twilight Sparkle: The Wonderbolts?
 * Rainbow Dash: Yep!
 * Twilight Sparkle: The most talented flyers in all of Equestria?
 * Rainbow Dash: That's them!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Pfft! Please. They'd never accept a Pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day.
 * Rainbow Dash: Hey, I could clear this sky in ten seconds flat.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Prove it.


 * Rainbow Dash: Yup. [sighs] I've been a sporty pony my whoooole life. So I have to come to the spa a lot because, um... sports!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Come on, Dash. You don't have to pretend you don't like frilly spa treatments. Everypony knows you're an athlete, but it's not exactly a secret you like to be pampered, too.


 * Rarity: [gasps] Rainbow Dash! What are you doing here?!
 * Applejack and Rarity: [giggle]
 * Applejack: Yeah. I didn't think spa treatments were your thing exactly.
 * Rainbow Dash: What?!
 * [robe and slippers thud]
 * Rainbow Dash: Oh, they're totally not. At least, not the froufrou kind.
 * Rarity: Ah.
 * Applejack: Huh.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I, uh, I think I tweaked something at Wonderbolts practice the other day. I just came in for a deep tissue sports massage.
 * "Lavender Essence": Ah, Miss Dash, I am so sorry, but we are running just a tad behind, and we are not quite ready to start your pampered muscle massage and indulgent hooficure just yet.
 * Rainbow Dash: Oh! [chuckles nervously] I-I'm pretty sure that wasn't what I signed up for.
 * "Lavender Essence": But they are your usual.
 * Rainbow Dash: And it seems like you're really busy today anyway! I'll just come back tomorrow. [to Rarity and Applejack] Uh, see you two later! Have fun! [to Lavender Essence, whispered] But put me down for the same thing.
 * [whoosh]


 * Rainbow Dash: So, Applejack and Rarity told you about that, huh?
 * Twilight Sparkle: And there's nothing wrong with it. In fact, you should enjoy your indulgent hooficure.
 * Rainbow Dash: I suppose it's okay to like different kinds of things.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Exactly. I'm not only a princess, and you're not only an athlete. Think of all the non-sports things you're into.


 * Doctor Horse: Rainbow Dash, what in the world is going on? Why are you stealing slippers?
 * Screwy: [barking]
 * Night Watch: Hey, get back to the hospital!
 * Applejack: What's all the ruckus?
 * Pinkie Pie: Mmm, I'd say it's more of a fracas than a ruckus.
 * Twilight Sparkle: What's going on, Rainbow Dash?
 * Rainbow Dash: [sighs] I'm an egghead.
 * Rarity: Pardon?
 * Rainbow Dash: See, I was trying to get back into the hospital to finish the last chapter of—
 * Twilight Sparkle: —'Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue'!
 * Rainbow Dash: You got me.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Wow, I knew the book was good, but I didn't know it could drive a pony to petty theft!
 * Rainbow Dash: Good? Try awesomely amazing. That book is undeniably, unquestionably, un-put-down-able! But then I had to put it down; I was sent home before I could finish it.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Well, I'm glad that's all this is about.
 * Applejack: There's no reason to go around causin' a ruckus—
 * Pinkie Pie: Fracas!
 * Applejack: ...causin' a fracas just because you like to read.


 * Rarity: Ooo. [sniffs] [sneezing]
 * Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash: [laugh]
 * Pinkie Pie: Aaa-choooo!


 * [liquid pouring]
 * [bubbling]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Hmm?
 * [poof!]
 * Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash: [laugh]


 * Applejack: [gasp] Land sakes!
 * Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash: [chuckle]
 * [water splash]
 * Applejack: [chuckles]


 * Rainbow Dash: I don't know...
 * Twilight Sparkle: Liking a bit of pampering doesn't make you any less of an athlete or anything else.
 * Rainbow Dash: You're right. What do you say we do hooficures and get pampered together?
 * Twilight Sparkle: Thanks, but I've been looking forward to a little alone time to decompress, and the Ponyville Day Spa has just the thing. Maybe next time.
 * [thud]
 * Starlight Glimmer: We don't have anywhere near enough memories for your section of the book!
 * Spike: Sorry, Dash.
 * Rainbow Dash: [groans]


 * [water flowing]
 * Twilight Sparkle: [sighs]
 * Rainbow Dash: You were right!
 * Twilight Sparkle: [yelps]
 * Rainbow Dash: This decompression thing is great!
 * Twilight Sparkle: It is pretty relaxing. Or it was.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yup. But you know what really gets me relaxed? Thinking about times when I was totally awesome!


 * [whooshing]
 * Gilda and Rainbow Dash: [laughing]


 * [whooshing]
 * [stopwatch ticking]
 * Applejack: [chewing]
 * Official: Ponyville qualifies!
 * [crowd cheering]


 * Rainbow Dash: It's time to stop wasting time! I'm going in!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow, no!
 * Rainbow Dash: Get! Out! [smack]
 * Razer: [sneezes]


 * Twilight Sparkle: Maybe that's relaxing for you. But for me, it's quieter, emotional moments that really do the trick. Can you think of any of those?


 * Rarity: The poor thing looks so sad! Just what are we doing to do?
 * Twilight Sparkle: I don't know what we can do.
 * Applejack: Buck up, Sugarcube. You just ain't yourself these days.
 * Rainbow Dash: [despondently] Whatever...
 * Rarity: Uh, how can I say this tactfully...? You've lost your sparkle, Rainbow Dash.
 * Pinkie Pie: I hate to say this, but, well... you've become...! [hushed] A party pooper!
 * Rainbow Dash: Didn't you hear me? I said 'whatever'. I don't know if you're here to cheer me up or what, but I'm fine.
 * Fluttershy: Let me handle this. Rainbow Dash, your winter is going to be pet-less.
 * [beat]
 * Rainbow Dash: [sobbing]
 * Rarity: Whatever did you do that for?!
 * Fluttershy: Because she'll never get past this until she lets it all out.
 * Rainbow Dash: [more sobbing]


 * Rainbow Dash: Hmm... I mean, that's emotional, sure, but how is it relaxing? No offense. Quiet moments are great, but not as great as being epic!


 * Rarity: [panting] Look upon me, Equestria, for I... am... Rarity!
 * [crowd oohs]
 * Rarity: Uh-oh. [screams]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Oh, no! Her wings evaporated into thin air!
 * Rarity: [screams]
 * Misty Fly: Ooh!
 * Soarin: Aah!
 * Spitfire: Uuh!
 * Rarity: [continues screaming]
 * Rainbow Dash: Hold on, Rarity! I'm coming!
 * Rarity: [more screaming]
 * Fluttershy: Oh, I can't look!
 * Rarity: [gasp]
 * Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Twilight Sparkle: [gasp]
 * Rainbow Dash: [grunts]
 * Fluttershy: A sonic rainboom! She did it! She did it! Wooo!
 * Rainbow Dash: Whoa.
 * [crowd cheering]


 * Rainbow Dash: Hey, where are you going? I can think of a ton more epic relaxing moments!
 * Twilight Sparkle: I'm sure you can, but right now I think I need to relax in my own quiet way.
 * Spike: We still need a few more. What are the chances you can get Twilight to remember stuff in her own quiet way?
 * Rainbow Dash: Ugh!
 * [splash]


 * Twilight Sparkle: Wow. I guess you don't realize how much tension you hold in your flank. Ooh. Oh, yeah. This is exactly what I needed. I love Rainbow Dash, but sometimes she can be a little much.


 * [whooshing]
 * [screeching]
 * Scootaloo: I hope this works.
 * [thwack]
 * [crowd cheering]
 * [storm cloud crackling]
 * Rainbow Dash: [yelps]
 * [storm cloud crackling]
 * [leaves being dislodged]
 * Rainbow Dash: [multiple yelps]
 * Crowd: [gasps]
 * Rainbow Dash: [grunts, screams]
 * [crash]
 * Rainbow Dash: [grunts, screams]
 * [lightning]
 * [downed fighter plane engine noise]
 * Pinkie Pie: Hope I'm not too late. [scoffs] I dunno what took that pony so long.
 * Rainbow Dash: [screams]
 * [splat]
 * Rainbow Dash: [groans]
 * Pinkie Pie: That was amazing!
 * Spitfire: Way to go, Rainbow Crash.


 * [polka music]
 * [skunk sprays]
 * Rainbow Dash: [laughs] Gotcha!


 * [music continues]
 * Spike: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]
 * Spike: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]
 * Spike: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]
 * Spike: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]
 * Spike: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]


 * [loud thud]
 * [sloop]
 * Rainbow Dash: Gotcha!


 * [clang!]
 * Rainbow Dash: Gotcha!


 * [cracking]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Ooh! Ow! Uh... maybe not quite so hard. [sighs] That's better. Dash might be a hoofful sometimes, but she's the most loyal friend in Equestria.


 * Twilight Sparkle: Even with Rainbow Dash's replacement, I don't think we're gonna qualify. No offense.
 * Pinkie Pie: Gah! What am I gonna do with all these now?!
 * Applejack: Uh, what were you gonna do with them before?
 * Rarity: [sighs] Maybe my Equestria Games uniforms will still be in style next year. I mean, I am pretty fashion-forward.
 * [hoofbeats]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Is that Rainbow Dash... walking?
 * Spitfire: [drinking water]
 * Fleetfoot: Does... this mean you're feeling better?
 * Rainbow Dash: I-I feel great, because... I was never hurt in the first place.
 * Wonderbolts: [gasps]
 * Bulk Biceps, Fluttershy and Derpy: [gasps]
 * Rainbow Dash: I faked my injury so that I wouldn't have to choose between flying for Ponyville or Cloudsdale. I wanted to fly with you both, and the decision was too hard!
 * Fluttershy: Oh, Rainbow Dash, you don't have to choose us. I know you love to win, and you should go with the team that surely will.
 * Rainbow Dash: I know now who I should've been loyal to.
 * Spitfire: Good choice. Always stick with the winners.
 * Rainbow Dash: Ponyville. Because it's not just where I live, but it's where my friends are. The ponies who really care about me, whether I can help them win a race or not.
 * Rest of main cast and Derpy: [cheering]


 * Shadowbolt Leader: We want you to join us, the Shadowbolts. We're the greatest aerial team in the Everfree Forest, and soon we will be the greatest in all Equestria, but first, we need a captain. The most magnificent...
 * Rainbow Dash: Yep.
 * Shadowbolt Leader: ...swiftest...
 * Rainbow Dash: Yes.
 * Shadowbolt Leader: ...bravest flyer in all the land.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yes. [chuckles] It's all true.
 * Shadowbolt Leader: We need... you.
 * Rainbow Dash: WOO-HOO! Sign me up. Just let me tie this bridge real quick and then we have a deal.
 * Shadowbolt Leader: No! It's them or us.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow, what's taking so long? Oh, no. Rainbow! [muffled] Don't listen to them!
 * Shadowbolt Leader: Well?
 * Rainbow Dash: You... Thank you for the offer, I mean. But I'm afraid I have to say no.
 * Main cast sans Rainbow: [cheering]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Good job, Rainbow!
 * Rainbow Dash: See? I'd never leave my friends hangin'.


 * Twilight Sparkle: It's pretty hard not to love a loyal friend like that.
 * Rainbow Dash: [crying]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Are you okay?
 * Rainbow Dash: [sobs] I-I'm fine, but... I love you, too! [sniffles] I'm sorry, Twilight, but once we got started reminiscing, I guess I just didn't want to stop.
 * Twilight Sparkle: We have had some pretty great times together.


 * Rainbow Dash: You gotta really flap 'em hard.
 * Twilight Sparkle: [grunts] Whoa!
 * Rainbow Dash: Uh, maybe not quite that hard.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Whoa! Oof!
 * Applejack: Lookin' good up there, Princess Twilight.
 * Rarity: Why do you protest so? You've already given up wearing your crown all the time. The least you can do is embrace your new title.
 * Twilight Sparkle: [sigh]
 * Rainbow Dash: Not if you spend all your time down here, you won't! Now get up there and show everypony the big finish!
 * Main cast sans Twilight: [cheering]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Woo-hoo! Whaaaa! Oof! Oof! [coughs] [screams]
 * Pinkie Pie: Wow! That was a big finish!
 * Twilight Sparkle: [groans]


 * Rainbow Dash: You guys were amazing!
 * School of Friendship Team: [groans]
 * Rainbow Dash: It was flawless. I can't think of any way that could've been better!
 * Smolder: We could have won the game.
 * Rainbow Dash: [scoffs] The game was just a sideshow. You guys were the main event!
 * Princess Celestia: I'm glad to see such good sportsponyship on display. Your cheer squad was an inspiration, Rainbow Dash. I'll have to start one at my school as well.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Wow, Rainbow Dash! It's almost like you were the perfect pony to coach cheer squad after all!
 * Rainbow Dash: Wait a second. Was this one of those things where you knew the lesson I needed to learn before I learnt it?
 * Twilight Sparkle: You mean like how you don't have to care about a thing other ponies like as long as you care about the ponies who like it? Nope. Don't know what you're talking about.
 * Rainbow Dash: Ugh!
 * Princess Celestia: Nicely done.
 * All: [laughing]


 * Twilight Sparkle: Well, this hasn't exactly been the relaxing spa day I was expecting, but it was pretty great all the same.
 * Rainbow Dash: And it's good to know I can always fall back on a career as a spa pony if the Wonderbolts don't work out.
 * Twilight Sparkle: [laughs] I wouldn't go that far.
 * [pages flipping]
 * Rainbow Dash: [forced laughter] Yeah! But... but seriously.
 * [zoom!]
 * Rainbow Dash: Whew!
 * [thud]
