Exactly what I thought. |

Looks like it's time for me to take a certain mare to a Sleepshop. |

I don't even understand why this was a hard decision to make, Applejack was the only person with a serious reason to go there (even if it turned out her business plan was ill-considered) |

Besides, you'd think the magical land of Equestria would have universal free healthcare, what with it being a wonderful place to live an' all. |

In the U.S.A. social healthcare in shows is rated C for communism. |

I'd go with Fluttershy if it wasn't because Granny Smith would do an awesome dance. |

I agree that Applejack had the only real reason, she needed money to repair her home and pay medical bills.
Dash only wanted to go because of a slight chance to meet the wonderbolts. Rarity only had a silly filly dream about her prince. Pinkie parties all the time anyway. Fluttershy can visit the garden all year even when she can't see all flowers at once. Twilight ... well she owns the tickets. |

^Twilight probably has plenty of opportunities to talk to the princess on a weekend, or even just send letters back and forth.
And then there's Spike, who also had a sympathetic reason for going, to spend time with his friends. And then they ditched him at the first chance they got and he drowned his sorrows in hot chocolate and donuts. :( |

yeah, I too would have had applejack as the shoein as soon as everyone else laid their reasons on the table.
And applejack could have salvaged her business model if she had realized she needed to switch from a sales model to an advertising model. Prince Blueblood's prickishness aside, nopony is going to buy food when there are free snacks available. If she switched to free while making sure to mention that those snacks are normally only available from apple acres, then she'd have a big chance of drumming up a lot of future sales. |

I think the most bizarre part was that Pinkie wasn't ruled out right away. Her 'reason' was just that she wanted to go and Twilight stilled said "All my friends have really good reasons for going." The only thing that would have been a bad reason would be if they wanted to disrupt things, which is exactly why Celestia wanted them there. |

^ Actually Celestia wanted them to do something different and unique at the Gala. She never really didn't intend them to ruin it. |

in that episode you can see Twilight was thinking in give the tickets to Applejack and Fluttershy and left out Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Rainbowdash |

Pinkie Pie had no good reason? She's the only one who wanted to go to the party for the sake of the party. That has merit in itself; she's the only one who wanted to use the ticket for its intended purpose. |

^ Rarity and Rainbow Dash wanted to meet someone, which is pretty much the intended purpose of parties like that anyway. |
