See?
New posters!
We never had those underwater!
I won't keep you in suspense any longer.
We're bringing one of Ponyville's oldest traditions
to our school - the Fetlock Fete!
The what-what-what?
It's a pony dance party!
They're the best!
I'm ready!
You don't need to do that, Ocellus.
This year the event's at school, and open to everycreature.
We're calling our dance the Amity Ball!
Even better!
Yona not know Amity Ball dance.
Yona only know traditional dance of Yakyakistan!
Go like this!
Ball dance like that?
Not exactly.
It isn't just once dance, it's a whole night of them!
Plus an awesome party.
And we'll have all the old Fetlock Fete traditions!
The pony pal contest,
a lucky pot dinner, you'll love it!
So like this says, get your pony pal and come along!
Wanna go?
I've got nothing better to do.
You had me at dinner.
Now, who wants to help me hang more posters?
Me!
Sure!
Hey Yona!
Wanna be my pony pal?
We can enter the contest together.
But Yona yak.
Yona not pony.
So?
Pony, pony, more pony...
Aw, that's just a poster.
Come on, it'll be tons of fun together!
Promise.
Okay!
Yona go with Sandbar.
Great!
I'll get the tickets.
See you later!
Yona not let Sandbar down!
Yak best at being pony pal!
Yona not sure how, if she not pony...
Terribly sorry, Yona!
All these dresses I'm sewing for the dance have me completely dazzled!
Dress?
Yona need dress for dance?!
Yona have lots to learn about being best pony pal...
Yona interrupting?
Oh, haha, well, not interrupting exactly,
more like blocking the flow- stopping me
from what I'm do-- so, yes, interrupting!
Now, what can I do for you, Yona?
Yona not know yak need special pony dress for dance!
Yona no can wear what Yona always wear?
Yona could-- um, you could.
But the Fetlock Fete, or whatever Twilight is calling it,
it's all about tradition.
There's a certain way to do everything at the dance.
Yes!
That what Yona want to learn!
How to do all the pony things!
Even if Yona has to wear dress.
Well, uh, y-y-yes,
i-if that's what you really want!
Yona be best pony pal for Sandbar!
In that case, at an elegant affair like a pony dance,
one must converse in a sophisticated fashion.
Talking with brussels sprouts
in your mouth helps you to learn to articulate.
Take a mouthful, and repeat after me.
How kind of you to ask me to tea.
May I offer you a glass of punch?
The weather is quite agreeable today.
Yona likes brussels sprouts!
Let's move on.
We will need to do something about your hairstyle.
But first, let's find the right dress!
Now, purple taffeta, frosty chiffon...
gold broquet, one of my favorites!
Yona like brown.
Bluh, earth tones, they're so...
earthy, aren't they.
Don't worry.
We will find something to make you stand out.
Yona not want to stand out.
Yona want to fit in.
Quite.
And by the time we're through,
it'll be like you've been going to pony dances your whole life.

I almost forgot!
The most important part of the ball!
Oh, pfft, Yona already have pony pal.
Oh, not that, darling, the dancing!
And I know precisely who can help!
Uh...
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy good at dancing?
Don't be so surprised!
I'm awesome at everything!
Except for baking.
There are two traditional dances that everypony does at the fete.
After a few days of practising with us,
you'll know them both.
And fit right in!
Absolutely.
We'll start with the slow dance, the Pony Cotillion.
That's Fluttershy's specialty.
Oh, I wouldn't say specialty.
It's just fun!
Here, Yona, I made you a chart.
All you have to do is follow these dance steps.
You'll learn them in no time!
Now, just start walking.
Step on whatever color I name.
Let's begin!
Blue, red, step-ahead, green, black, now step back!
Now you try?
Blue, red, step- a- oh!
No, um, Yona start over.
Blue, red, green, black, yak step back?
Good!
Now, black, green, red and blue, red,
black hold one-and-two,
red, blue, red once more,
green-black-blue-red three-and-four!
Yona feel like she has four front feet!
Um, maybe we should try this again later.
Don't worry, Yona.
That was the hard one.
Mine's way easier.
A little dance called the Pony Prance!
The key to this one is speed!
Come on, Yona, try it!
Just get with the flow and let yourself go!
Oh my!
Whoa there!
Yona like to flow and go!
Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres, Yona!
Rarity tells us you need some help
gettin' ready for the big dance.
Some, ha!
Indeed.
And we only have a few more days.
Well, you've come to the right place,
cause if you asked me what my favorite part of the dance is,
I'd say everything about the dance!
But especially...
this!
The fetlock lucky pot dinner!
It's part of the Ponyville dance tradition.
Everypony brings a dish to share,
and we swap 'em without knowin' whose is whose.
...although my lucky pot probably gives me away, hehe.
You can cook anything you want!
Like , oh, I don't know...
maybe... cupcakes?!
Uh, I already told Yona a little bit about that tradition,
she's even brought her own lucky...
bucket.
Yak buckets are best buckets.
Yona think make traditional yak dish - stew!
Extra fibre.
Ponies like?
Hm, I'm not sure!
So, just in case, let's get baking!
Flour, milk, sugar, butter, icing.
Then we mix, and we beat, and we pour into pans, we bake...
And now you try it!
That's one way to mix it!
Let's try somethin' a little simpler.
I'm sure we can do somethin' with these.
O-kay!
Apple sauce it is!
Blue, red, green...
Blue...
How kind of you to ask me to tea!
Blue, red, step-ahead,
how kind of you green, black,
Yona step back to ask Yona to tea.
Black, green, red and blue, red,
black hold-one-and-two, red, blue,
red once more,
green-black-blue-red three-and-four!
Look!
She's dancing!
How 'bout that?
And she's good!
Yona, if someone at the party tells you they feel thirsty, you say...?
May Yona-- um May I offer you a cup of punch?
By Celestia, I think she's got it!
She's really got it!
Yona, you did it!
You dance great!
And are so well spoken!
You'll be the hit of the ball!
♫ You've mastered so many pony ways ♫
♫ And grown a lot in the past few days ♫
♫ You've shown a turn that has earned our praise ♫
♫ And now I fit right... ♫
♫ ...in ♫
♫ You fit right in! ♫
Hello, everycreature!
I'm DJ Scales-and-Tail,
spinning your favorite tunes all night long!
So welcome to the Fetlock Fet--
I mean, the Amity Ball!
I'm just glad I'm here with you guys.
Least I'm not the only non-pony in the crowd.
You're not still worried about that, are you?
Like Headmare Twilight said,
this is a dance for everycreature!
There's no pony pressure.
You should've told Yona that.
Uh, what do you mean?
Didn't you hear?
Our teachers have been helping her get ready for the dance!
She's been taking lessons.
She's gone full pony for the dance.
All for you.
For me?
Why?
How kind of you to ask me to this soiree, Sandbar!
What?
You look so weird!
Yona?!
Quite.
Oh I do hope I make a good pony pal for you!
Uh, of course you do!
But, Yona, you didn't need to do any of...
this!
And why are you talking so funny?
I am not 'talking funny', I'm fitting in.
Could've fooled me.
Yona!
You look absolutely scrumptious, darling.
Uh, why don't I get that for you.
You made a lucky pot?
Precisely like ponies prepare!
Welcome, everycreature,
to our school's first annual Amity Ball!
For those of you who've never attended a Fetlock Fete,
we can't wait to show you
some of our fun traditions on this special night!
So, Spike...
Uh, Scales-and-Tail?
Uh, right.
Scales-and-Tail.
Let's get this party started!
Oh yeah, party ponies!
It's time to raise the roof and stomp your hoof
for the traditional first dance of the night,
the Pony Cotillion!
Yona know this one!
You do?
Indeed!
Green, black, then step back.
Shall we?
How did you learn this?
I had good teachers.
Yona!
Are you alright?
Yona never practice dance with dress on.
Uh-- I mean, may I offer you a cup of punch?
Time to shake things up a little!
That's right, everycreature, it's the Pony Prance!
Uh, maybe we should sit this one out.
No!
I do so love the Pony Prance!
It's okay, Yona!
Just stop bouncing!
We got you!
Wig...
come...
off!
What a calamitous yakcident!
Yona!
What happened?!
Are you alright?
No!
Yona not alright!
Yona want to be alone!
Yona sad...
Yona sing sad song...
sad Yona...
Yona no blame bird.
Yona no want to be around Yona either.
Yona sad...
Yona sing sad song...
Yona?
How Sandbar find Yona?
I know you pretty well by now.
I figured you'd come here.
Besides, it's where I'd go if something like that happened to me.
Sandbar mean something awful and embarrassing.
So awful Yona can not come down from treehouse ever!
Will Sandbar bring Yona food and water?
You know, it really wasn't that bad.
I don't think anycreature hardly even noticed!
...well, maybe one or two did.
If they happened to be in Canterlot for the day.
But anyway, it's all over now, so...
will you come back to the dance with me?
Yona disappoint Sandbar.
Yona not make very good pony.
Why would you think you'd disappointed me?
And who said anything about having to be a good pony?
Yona just want to do all the right pony things,
and fit in at dance!
Then maybe Sandbar and Yona win Best Pony Pals contest.
Instead, Yona win worst pony ever.
That's not true.
Really?
Sandbar name two ponies worse than Yona.
Cozy Glow and Sombra.
Okay, Sandbar right.
They worse.
Yona, it doesn't really matter
if you're a great pony or a horrible pony!
You're the best Yona I know.
That's why I asked you to the dance!
Really?
I never wanted you to be anything
other than what you are.
My friend, Yona, the yak.
So, what do you say?
Let's go back to the dance?
Don't worry, I'm with you!
We all are.
Yona!
Are you alright?
We were so worried when you disappeared like that!
Yona fine, but...
Yona sorry.
Not mean to make such a mess and ruin the pony dance!
It's not your fault, Sugarcube.
It's the opposite.
If anything, we should be apologising.
I thought we were just teaching you how to have fun at the dance!
We never meant to try to turn you into something you're not.
Is okay.
Friend help Yona feel better.
And that's why we're giving you this.
No way!
The Pony Pal prize!
From now on,
it's the annual Amity Ball Award for Friendship!
No poniness required.
We all decided you and Yona totally earned this.
Your actions tonight exemplify the true meaning of friendship.
Congratulations, you two!
Yona, I'm glad you're back!
Everypony wants to learn that crazy dance you did!
Yak dance?
Is easy!
Yona teach...
if everycreature want to learn?
It would be an honor.
You asked for it, and DJ Scales-and-Tail is gonna deliver!
Everycreature join Yona for...
the Yakyakistan Stomp!
