Ditto: There are two things I want you to do.
Thomas: I thought you said there was only one thing.
Ditto: Yeah, well.. I lied about that. I want you to practice concentration, and spiking the ball.
Erik: I can't believe you lied to us coach.
Ditto: Yeah, I know. Now start practicing, first on spiking. Thomas, Mimi, and Joe, you go on one side of the net, and the rest of you stay on the other side.
Silver: That's fine. I had no anticipation on leaving this side of the net anyway.
Ditto: Good. *Throws volleyball to Thomas* Spike it Tom.
Thomas: *Spikes the ball, but it goes too far*
Ditto: You're hitting it too high. You want the ball to head towards the ground once you hit it. Try again. *Gets another volleyball, and throws it at Tom*
Thomas: *Spikes the volleyball, and it hits Erik*
Erik: Ow! What was that for?
Thomas: Lets just say I was contemplating on whether I should get revenge on you for tripping me down those stairs last week.
Erik: It was an accident, and I said sorry.
Thomas: And now I forgive you.
Ditto: Save the arguing for later. Okay?
Thomas: Okay.
Erik: Sorry.
After everyone practiced spiking
Ditto: Let's focus on concentration now. You don't wanna lose focus on the ball if it's heading towards you, otherwise you'll let me, and all the fans down. Three on three match, you all stay on the same side you're on, and pretend I'm not here. Go.
Erik: *Gives ball to Sunny*
Sunny: 0 serving 0. *Serves the ball, but it hits the ground*
Ditto: The first team to get ten points is the winner.

Silver: *Bumps the ball over the net*
Joe: *About to get the ball*
Ditto: BLAH!!
Joe: *Looks at Ditto* What?
Ditto: Hit the ball!!
But it was too late. The ball hit the ground.

Erik: Got it. *Rotates positions with his teammates, and gets the ball* 2 serving 1.
Ditto: 87!!
Erik: *Hits the ball too far to the right*

Mimi Retcon: Did you really sleep with my sister?
Ditto: I didn't know you had one until now.
Mimi Retcon: *Throws the ball to Silver*
Silver: 2 serving 4. *Serves the ball, and it heads towards Thomas*
Thomas: *Accidentally catches the ball*
Ditto: Don't do that!
Thomas: I'm not trying to. *Throws the ball to Silver*
Silver: 3 serving 4. *Serves the ball, and it heads towards Thomas*
Thomas: Again? *Hits the ball, but it goes backwards*

Ditto: *Fake sneeze*
Thomas: *Hits the ball backwards to Joe*
Joe: *Hits ball over net*
Ditto: ALAHA!!!!!!
Sunny: *Hits ball over net*

2 B Continued
Blazin' is happy with his day, until he notices that a drawing of a pony he mysteriously finds on the ground doesn't go into making an actual character.
one of the most infamous and hated episodes of the show.... and for good reason, too.
where to even start with this thing? it gets EVERYTHING wrong! literally everything! from the lame premise, to the horrible execution, the brutal butchering of the characters, the pathetic "comedy", the Student 6 being pushed to the sidelines, the mean-spirited tone.... i literally can't think of anything they got right in this episode.
people say this one would've been better if it happened during the earlier seasons (like from S1-S3), but for me personally: i think it would've been better if Non-Compete Clause NEVER happened at all. like seriously, you could delete the episode from the overall canon, and nothing would change. no value would be lost.
this episode is nothing more than a waste of time and space.

THE NEXT DAY:
CRYSYAL EMPIRE:
Saten: Me?
Twilight: Yes.. Starlight really seems to like you, so you can be the one to help Starlight find her old friend, Sunburst.
Saten: ... Can I bring Derpy?
Twilight: (giggles) of coarse you can.. But Spike is going two, I don't have any jobs for him.
Saten: Fine, fine.
Twilight: Then it's settled! Shining Armor and I will head straight to the castle, and you two can head straight to Sunburst's!
Spike: Aye-aye, Princess!
Starlight: [nervously] Uh-huh.
Twilight: (to Shining) Alright, big brother, let's go see this amazing baby pony!
Shining Armor: [snoring] Ahhh... the baby...
