Episode 2: Best in Show: Pre-Show

In the school gym, there is a special event going on. There are people sitting in the bleachers, and having some snacks drinks, especially hot ones because of the cold weather outside. At one of the tables, there are students along with their pets. In the middle of the gym is covered by a blue carpet with obstacles for the pets.

Falling Star holds the video camera, "Alright… Lights… camera… action!"

Falling Star turns on the camera in front of Applejack and Fluttershy holding microphones. Fluttershy is also holding a piece of paper, and is very nervous.

Once the camera is rolling, Applejack says, "Howdy! And welcome to the first annual Canterlot Pet Show! Sure is great to be here, ain't it?"

As Applejack speaks, Fluttershy is trying to hide behind her. She manages to drag Fluttershy in front of the camera.

"Sure is, Applejack. Can't wait to see all the wonderful contestants," Fluttershy shyly says, reading from a piece of paper.

Applejack says, "Heh. All righty, then. You heard the lady! Let's meet 'em!"

Applejack and Fluttershy walk over to the table full of pets along with their owner. Among them are Trixie, Bulk with his dog, Twilight with Spike, Micro Chips with his robot, and Sonata with the hermit crab.

"This is the backstage area, where the pets get fresh and spiffy before the competition," Applejack says, walking along. Then Fluttershy bumps into her.

Applejack asks, "Right, Fluttershy?"

"Mm-hmm. Fresh and spiffy," Fluttershy shyly says.

Pinkie along with Gummy, Sun along with Nina, even a young boy with his pet crab. Flash is also with his dog, and the little doggy barks.

"Why, look at this handsome feller!" Applejack says.

Applejack presents the microphone, and says, "Tell us about your pooch!"

"Oh! The dog's a Boston terrier named…" Flash begins to say.

Fluttershy walks to the dog and the little dog barks

Fluttershy speaks up, "Banana!

"Anything else to share?" Fluttershy asks the little dog.

The dog, Banana barks in reply.

Fluttershy translate through the microphone, "Banana's favorite snack is bananas, he loves his banana toy, and his favorite pastime is…"

Suddenly, another dog barks catches Fluttershy's attention.

Fluttershy happily says. "Awww! What a cutie!"

Fluttershy walks over to Bulk's little dog that is wearing a blue bandana covered in sushi. The little dog barks in reply.

"Oh, really?" Fluttershy asks.

Bulk's dog barks.

"She loves daytime TV, is a great listener, and…" Fluttershy says.

But Applejack walks over, and says, "Uh, I think the show will be startin' soon, so we should wrap this up."

"I think we have time for one more quick interview," Fluttershy says.

Curious Applejack walks to where Fluttershy is. She sees Apple Bloom at one of the tables, and the family dog, Winona is on the table.

"Winona?" Applejack asks in surprise.

Winona barks in reply.

Applejack walks over, and asks, "What are you doin' back here?"

Winona barks happily.

"Awwww," Fluttershy happily a giggle.

Then says, "Winona only said that she wanted to surprise you by competing today!"

"Huh. Yee-haw! We gotta get ready to win that gold! Applejack happily says.

Applejack runs along with Apple Bloom and Winona to get ready for the show. Just then, Mr. Cranky Doodle and Matilda walk over with the dog to the show.

Sun walks over to Fluttershy, "It's sure was a good idea to interview the pets."

"I agree," Fluttershy says.

Just then, the bell rings.

"That's the signal! It's time to enjoy the cutest show in Canterlot!" Fluttershy happily says.

"And cut!" Falling Star says, turning off the camera.
