The Mentally Advanced Series/Original Series

This page contains summaries for episodes produced for FiMFlamFilosophy's My Little Pony abridged series The Mentally Advanced Series.

Episode 1
Twilight Sparkle and Spike help Applejack pick apples at Sweet Apple Acres, Twilight noting that a unicorn would be more efficient at a "filthy Earth pony"'s job. As the three talk (and Twilight engages in a bit more racial Earth pony profiling), Spike receives a letter from Princess Celestia. Celestia, bragging to Twilight about how wonderful living in Canterlot is, sends her two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala. Twilight is excited at the prospect of being away from Ponyville for a day, but Spike thinks this is one of Celestia's pranks.

Rainbow Dash arrives and, seeing Twilight's two tickets, begs Twilight to take her with her to the Gala, her reason for wanting to go being a "need to be emotionally validated by [her] childhood idols" and craving attention. However, Applejack, being more practical, wants to scalp one of the tickets for money to fix the farm and get Granny Smith a hip replacement. Unfortunately for the Pegasus and the cowpony, Twilight doesn't intend to take either of them and plans to find a date.

In town, Twilight encounters Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy, who all want to go to the Gala as well. Rarity goes so far as to offer Spike sexual favors in exchange for the extra ticket, and when Applejack and Rainbow Dash join them, a large argument breaks out. Twilight shuts them up and they leave.

As Twilight and Spike have lunch at a cafe and Twilight thinks of a way to get back at Celestia for her prank, Rainbow Dash appears and asks for the ticket again. She only leaves when Twilight threatens bodily harm. Rarity arrives and drags the two to Carousel Boutique where, as she distracts Twilight with a makeover, she asks Spike for the ticket. When Twilight is finally able to get away, Applejack returns offering an assortment of pies. An overwhelmed Twilight bolts to the Golden Oak Library, where she finds Fluttershy cleaning. Fed up, Twilight demands that she leave, only to be dragged out the front door by Pinkie and a gaggle of ponies. The ponies all beg Twilight for the ticket and offer her favors, and they chase her and Spike all over Ponyville. When the two of them are cornered, Twilight teleports them to the library.

There, they find the rest of the Mane 6 waiting for them. Twilight reaches her breaking point and entertains thoughts of killing everypony. As her friends dissuade her from such thoughts, Twilight finally thinks of a way to get back at Celestia. She sends her a long and boring letter and sends the tickets back. Only seconds later, Twilight receives a reply: not only does Celestia promise to gouge out Twilight's eyes, but she also sends her an additional six Gala tickets.
