** Rarity goes into hysterics and spends most of the wrap-up trying to fix the "mess" of a nest Twilight made. Given her materials, Twilight made a nest that's more natural for normal birds than Rarity's team ever makes.

* MusicalWorldHypothesis: The song may be partly the Diegetic version, mostly because they do this every year and this may be the song and dance they do every year. Twilight's solo throws it off a bit.
