Later on, Rainbow and Applejack take Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy
Later that day, Rainbow and Applejack put more and more pressure on Pinkie and Fluttershy during a training session, telling them that all of Ponyville is counting on them to succeed. This causes Pinkie and Fluttershy to mess up as the pressure builds, finally resulting in Applejack calling off the training so they can rest. While walking away, Fluttershy says that the pressure to succeed is getting to her, but Pinkie assures her that nopony else will be pressuring them, since most of the town hasn't even heard of the game.
