Nice moves, kid.
Nice moves?
Rainbow Dash thinks I've got…
nice moves!
Then, all of the sudden…
I'm AIRBORNE!
And then Rainbow Dash looks over and is like…
"Nice moves, kid!".
Wow!
She really said that?
I mean, it's like she practically told me she wanted to take me under her wing,
teach me everything she knows and become like my big sister.
I don't know about all that.
It was a really nice compliment and all, but…
I know, I know.
But all that stuff I said could happen, right?
Sure.
Absolutely.
I just need to find a way to spend some time with her,
you know, so she could see more of my awesomeness.
Well, Applejack and I are supposed to be camping at the Windsome Falls this weekend.
Maybe I could get my big sister to invite Rainbow Dash and then you can come too.
Really?
Sure.
I wanna go.
Well, duuh, of course you can go.
And I'll get Rarity to come too!
Rarity loves camping!
I despise camping!
All of that, ugh…
nature.
Applejack's going with her little sister but,
you know, if you don't wanna spend time with me…
Oh, all right.
Of course, I will need to find an outfit more appropriate for roughing it.
See? I told you she'd wanna go.
You packed the bug spray?
Yup. You got the canteens?
Yup. Looks like we're all set there.
He-e-ey!
Gee, Rarity, did you remember to pack?
Well, let's see who gets the last laugh
when you're absolutely desperate to curl your lashes
and you realize you didn't bring your eyelash curler.
Well, looks like we're all set now.
But, what about Rainbow Dash?
Isn't Rainbow Dash coming?
Of course she is, sugarcube.
She's gonna meet us up at our first campsite.
All right, y'all, let's move 'em out.
Are we there yet?
The last thousand times you asked that, the answer was "no".
This time - it's actually "yes"!
There's Rainbow Dash up there right now.
All right, Scootaloo,
just play it cool.
Hey Rain…
Hey, Rainbow Dash!
What's up?
What took you guys so long?
Well, some of us didn't pack as light as the others,
so we were slowed down a bit.
Looks like you'll be sharing a tent with me, huh?
If that's okay with you.
Sure, as long as you don't snore.
You don't snore, do you?
No, no way, not me.
Never snored a day or a night in my life.
Then you and I will get along just fine.
You have got to be kidding me.
Sweetie Belle, do be a dear and see if you can find some fresh flowers for my bedside vase.
Hey, Scootaloo, do be a sweetheart and see if you can gather some firewood?
Seriously though, can you get us some wood for the fire?
Of course!
Okay, everybody get comfortable.
Cause I'm about to tell you the best story you've ever heard.
Is it about the time when Rarity had wings,
and then they got ruined, and you saved her from plummeting to her doom?
Okay, maybe it's the second best story you've ever heard,
but probably still the scariest.
You like scary stories, right?
It all happened on a night
just like this one,
in a forest just like this.
And then the olden pony asked
"Who's got my rusty horseshoe?"
Not me!
You do!
Something in my throat.
I wasn't scared at all.
Good story.
Knew you wouldn't be scared.
Way you jumped that cart the other day.
You're like me. Fearless.
Yeah.
Fearless.
Don't worry.
Rarity is here to keep you safe and sound.
Think it's about time for me to hit the straw.
Don't you worry little sis.
There's no olden pony in our tent.
Eh, that sure was funny, wasn't it.
How they were all afraid of the olden pony,
but not me.
That's because you're tough.
Just like when I was your age.
I'm hitting the sack.
Come in whenever you feel like it.
It's nothing.
Just my imagination.
And that isn't the thundering stomp of the olden pony.
Is anyone out there?
Who's got my rusty horseshoe?
Rainbow Da…
You do!
What's that noise?
Is there a bug in here?
I don't know about you, but I slept like a filly.
Best night ever.
Glad you've rested up. Because we've got a long trek ahead.
Totally gonna be worth it to get to Windsome Falls.
Yeah. Totally.
Am I sweating?
I think I'm sweating!
Oh, but it's absolutely worth it to get to spend time with my little sister.
It's just that this cart feels like it's getting heavier all the time!
I don't care if that cart is as heavy as a pack of mules.
If we don't get to move on it'll be dark before we get to campsite.
Dark?
I'll just ride ahead to make sure the path is clear.
No, we don't wanna be out here after dark, right?
Doesn't matter to me.
Well, you know, it's for them scaredy ponies.
Don't fall asleep now.
We've got to get to that campsite before dark.
That's why it's always important to bring your own trunk on any public outing.
Don't come this way!
And take the path, it's…
way better than going through the bushes.
You're more nervous than a worm in an apple on cider making day.
What gives, Scootaloo?
Nothing, just thought I heard something.
You sure you're okay?
'Cause you seem a little jumpy.
Just getting my exercise.
You know how important it is to stretch out those hindquarters every so often.
Do you need a little help?
That's so sweet! Thank you.
What are friends for?
No need for tents tonight, y'all.
We'll just take shelter in that cave.
All right!
A deep dark cave!
Perfect for the story I've got for tonight.
All we need is a campfire, and we're good to go.
Of course…
I'll be right back with lots of firewood from the deep,
dark,
and not scary at all, forest!
Thanks.
Okay. I can do this.
On the count of three,
I'll get those branches.
One,
two,
three!
Here, branches branches branches…
It's colder than a timberwolf's toenail.
Where's that Scootaloo?
Here you go!
That's it?
It's all I could find, 'cause, y'know,
there aren't that many trees around here!
It's all we need.
Why don't you sit with Rainbow Dash for a while?
Now where was I?
Oh yeah!
The scary part!
Hey! I have an idea!
How about I tell tonight's story?
All right.
Just make sure it's a horrible one.
There once was a really, really nice pony,
who lived in a bright and sunny land,
where there were rainbows every day
and lots and lots of happy friends, and…
No offence, but it's not a real campfire story unless somepony's shaking.
I've been told that these very woods are haunted…
By the Headless Horse!
It gallops only at night.
If it doesn't have a head,
than how in tarnation does this pony know where it's going?
It's headless! Not brainless!
Looking for little lost ponies.
So where's its brain?
Fear was dripping from the air…
…and they were never heard from…
ever again!
Never?
Never.
Don't worry, you'll be safe with me tonight.
It's not time for bed yet, is it?
'Fraid so, Scootaloo.
But we haven't even sung any campfire songs yet!
You don't have to ask me twice!
Ninety-nine buckets of oats on the wall!
Ninety-nine buckets of oats!
Take one down,
pass it around, and you got eigthy one buckets of oats on the wall!
Forty-one buckets of oats!
Take one down,
pass it around, you've got forty…
buckets of oats on the wall!
Twenty nine buckets of oats!
Take one down,
Take one down, pass it around, you've got zero buckets of oats on the
wall!
Good night, Sweetie Belle.
Good night y'all.
Sleep tight!
Oh, just one more song!
Anyone?
How about a dance contest?
I know you love to cut a rug, so how about we mess up the cave floor?
I have a briliant idea!
Hide and seek! Who's with me?
Maybe tomorrow.
Seems like you don't really wanna go to sleep tonight.
Is there some reason why?
Of course, not!
I just love camping and hanging out with Rainbow Dash so much
that I don't wanna waste a single minute with… sleep.
Silly sleep.
That's cool and all, Scoot,
but there's a pony who needs a shuteye and she needs it now.
This is so unfair.
I'm falling asleep…
If the Headless Horse catches me,
I'm never gonna be heard from again! And I wanna be heard from!
It's all over!
A warm welcome to you, Scootaloo.
Princess Luna?
I thought you were the Headless Horse.
You were mistaken, but I hope not disappointed.
You are so, so much better, than the Headless Horse!
But what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Canterlot?
I am the Princess of the Night,
thus it is my duty to come into your dreams.
Oh, yeah. Wait, this is just a dream?
But it feel so real!
I assure you that you are asleep.
But when you wake, the thing that frightens you most will still exist.
The Headless Horse?
Is the Headless Horse really what frightens you the most?
I'm afraid Rainbow Dash will find out I'm not as tough as she thinks I am.
Everypony has fears, Scootaloo.
Everypony must face them in their own way.
But they must be faced, or the nightmares will continue.
Face your fear!
Princess Luna?
Oh, it was just a dream.
But the Headless Horse isn't!
Rainbow Dash said it lives here, in these very woods!
It's the wicked whinny of the Headless Horse!
So… it's a horse without a head… which means it doesn't have a mouth…
And if it doesn't have a mouth then… it's not a horse-eat-pony kind of horse,
but still… it's a horse… without a head!
Hello! Is anyone out there?
Anyone except the Headless Horse?
Heeee…
I got you!
Rainbow Dash! Is that you? Thank you! Thank you!
What were you doing out here in the middle of the night?!
It is time for you to face your real fear, Scootaloo.
I'm so, so sorry, Rainbow Dash.
I just wanted you to hang out with me and see how cool I was,
so you take me under your wing and teach me everything you know and become like my big sister!
But then you started telling all those spooky stories and I got scared.
I thought I heard the Headless Horse, so I ran out here by myself and…
well…
I guess, you know the rest…
Hey. I'm gonna tell you something, but if you ever tell anypony outs, I'm gonna deny it.
First time I heard those stories…
I was scared too.
You were?
Sure. I mean, I got over it because I realized pretty quick that
if there was such thing as a Headless Horse, I could totally take it on.
So, you're looking for somepony to take you under their wing, huh?
Yeah, I'm up here for something like that.
Really?
As long as you don't go falling into anymore rivers in the middle of the night.
It's a deal.
I call sister teams!
Last one to make it to the falls is a mouldy carrot!
Ugh, If you insist.
It is so on!
They think they can beat the two of us?
Who got my rusty horseshoe?
Here it is, for pony's sake!
Now take it and stop all your moaning.
Thank you and have a nice day!
