Episode 12: Pet Project
In the pet store of Canterlot City Mall, Fluttershy is giving Applejack's Winona a bath. Fluttershy rises her and scrub her with soap. The dog jumps on to Fluttershy to give her a few licks with a smile. Then Fluttershy puts the dog back in and continues to clean the dog.
Fluttershy giggles, and says, "Who's a good girl?"
"Almost done, Winona!" Fluttershy adds with a smile.
After scrubbing the soap on the dog, Fluttershy uses the shower head to rinse the soap off. Then uses a hairdryer to dry Winona's fur. Winona barks in reaction as her fur fluffs up.
The door opens as Fluttershy places Winona back on the ground. The dog shakes the fluffiness off and her fur is back to normal. Then runs back to her owner, which is Applejack. Winona jumps into Applejack's arms and licks her face. Sun, Falling Star, and the Dazzlings are with her.
Applejack observes her dog, and says, "Wow! Winona looks cleaner than a whistle!"
Winona continues to lick on Applejack's face with a smile,
Fluttershy happily says, "Now she's all ready for the photo shoot."
"Uh, photoshoot?" Falling Star questions.
"For the charity calendar. We're making it to raise money for the local animal shelter. It's gonna feature all of our pets," Fluttershy explains.
Resting on the pillows, there are the girls pets. There is Opalescence, Tank, Angel Bunny, Nina, Spike the dog, and Owlowiscious.
"Wow, that's great! I wish I could contribute, but…" Falling Star says.
But she is interrupted when she hears Winona's barking. She turns to see the dog licking Applejack's face. And the owner laughs in replies.
Falling Star sadly replies, "I don't have a pet. Cause my dad's allergies," Falling Star says.
"Yeah. We don't have pets either," Sonata says.
Aria rolls her eyes, "I doubt you'll be able to handle one."
"And we all need to have one we can share," Adagio adds.
"Oh! Do you want one?" Fluttershy asks with a sparkles in her eyes.
"No, no. We wouldn't even know what to get," Adagio answers.
"And I don't it to be boring either," Aria says.
In the pet shop, the girls have set up a little photo session for the pets.
"Oh!" Fluttershy replies, petting her rabbit.
Twilight is helping Spike and Owlowiscious with their bow ties, and holding the mirror for them. Applejack is playing with Winona. Falling Star and the Dazzlings sigh with sadness to see the girls having fun with their pets. Rainbow gives Tank a piece of lettuce for lunch. Pinkie is snuggling her pet allegations. Rarity is brushing Opal's hair. And Sun is playing with a cattail with Nina.
The four girls left out go, "Awwwww…" to see the pets.
"Okay, everypet, get ready for your big close-up," Fluttershy says.
All of the seven girls pets are ready to have their picture taken.
"Awwww…" the four girls repeat with smile.
Before Fluttershy can take the picture, Falling star quickly stands up, "Wait! Got room for one more?"
"Actually…" Sonata says.
"Make that…" Adagio adds.
"Four more…" Aria adds.
Pinkie laughs, and says, "You're not a pet, silly!"
"No, we mean, We've changed my mind!" Falling Star clarifies.
The Adagio asks "Fluttershy, will you help us... choose a pet?"
Fluttershy gasps with glee, "I thought you'd never ask!"
Fluttershy then grabs the four girls, and Sun, and quickly leaves the pet shop
They all scream, "Whoa!"
Later on, the six friends arrived at the animal shelter. When they inter the shelter, they can see many different kinds of pets.
"Welcome to the animal shelter! Oh, I just know there's gonna be the perfect little pet for you somewhere in here!" Fluttershy happily says.
The girls look down to see a brown hamster with a black spot and ears
Fluttershy picks it up, and says, "They're just so cuddly. Don't you think, girls?"
"It's cute," Sonata replies.
Adagio says, "Eh, not for us. Maybe something a little less... furry?"
"I can't have any furry animals in my house," Falling Star adds.
In a fish tank there is a fish with the same hair as Sun.
Fluttershy happily suggests, "How about a betta fish? No fur at all. And this one's got beautiful fins."
Seeing the fish, the Dazzlings begin laughing.
"That fish has the same color as Sun's hair," Sonata says.
"And it not as fun as she is," Aria adds.
"You have to admit, it does have nice fins," Adagio replies with a smile.
Falling Star calmly says, "Uh, I don't know. It would be cool to be able to hold my pet."
"Hey guys, take a look at these," Sun says.
The girls walk over to the terrarium to see other pets. There are many different crabs inside. There is this one particular one the Dazzlings are interested in. There is a hermit crab that has a light orange color. And the shell is pink with spikes in it.
"Aww, that one looks cute," Sonata replies.
"I think it looks cool," Aria says.
"I agree. I think we just found our pet," Adagio replies.
"I'm happy for you three. Now we just need to find one for Falling Star," Fluttershy replies.
Suddenly, the girls hear crashing sounds coming from the back. They turn to see the door open, and something runs out. The creature looks like a small pink rodent with large teeth. The rodent looks so scared, that it jumps up in the air, and lands on Falling Star's shoulder.
Falling Star stares at it, and wonders, "What is that?"
I believe it is a rat of some kind," Aria replies.
"Actually it's a naked mole rat. It doesn't have any fur at all" Fluttershy confirms.
Falling Star and the little mole rat look at each other.
"You know, you're actually pretty cute, and you seem to have strong teeth," Falling Star says with a smile.
She turns to Fluttershy, and says, "I'll take him."
"Oh I am so happy for you. Now let's get back to the pet shop," Fluttershy says.
But Sonata interrupts, "Wait, where's Sun?"
The girls look around to see where their friend has gone off to. They manage to find Sun at one of the tanks.
Sun is looking at the lizards and geckos that are in there. There are many different colors and shapes of it. Sun stops to see a small one on a rock. The lizard is small yellow with black spots, and green eyes.
Sun smiles, and camly says, "Hey there, little guy."
The little lizard looks at Sun, and the scale shines at the lay. Sun smiles happily to see the little lizard.
Sun giggles, and says, "Well, aren't you just a little ray of sunshine!"
Later on, Fluttershy has the camera set for the photoshoot. Seeing through the camera, Fluttershy sees the eight pets along with the new ones. The hermit crab, the naked mole rat, and, the leopard gecko.
The others look to see the pets and show smile on their faces.
"Wow!" Rainbow says,
"Awww," Some of the girls replies.
The three new pets are a little shy to get close to the others.
Fluttershy says with a reassuring smile, "Oh, don't worry. You can scoot in a little, sweeties. They won't bite."
The little pets aren't sure still.
Sun puts her finger on the ground, and the little gecko crawls up. Adagio does the same the hermit crab, and Falling Star with the mole rat
Sun says to her her new pet, "It's okay, Ray. Nina and I will take care of you, okay. Promise."
"Don't worry Herbie, we'll be there for you," Sonata happily says.
And Aria gently strokes the head.
Falling Star says to her new mole rat, "It's alright Rufus, I'll be with you."
The girls then out their new pets close to the others. Soon, all of them gather together to take the picture. Owlowiscious lands on Spike's head, and Ray is on Nina's head. The camera flash of a great picture of the pets, big and small.
