'''Original air date''': August 14th, 1992
The class get their grades back, and Miss Hackney announces that the school is rewarding their good grades with a masquerade party, and that they should arrive dressed as whatever they want to be when they grow up.
On the way to Starlight's ice cream shop, the girls discuss their various ambitions for when they grow up. Starlight offers everyone an ice cream sundae on the house, but to her surprise, Bon Bon instead goes home.
When Bon Bon gets home, we learn that she aspires to be a model when she grows up, but she's afraid everyone will laugh at her if they see her dressed up. She briefly considers not going to the masquerade, but after a pep-talk from her mother, ultimately does.
Patch is doing her circus clown act when Bon Bon arrives. Patch gets splattered with the watermelon she threw upward and falls over, provoking laughter from everyone else. Bon Bon thinks they're laughing at ''her'', and runs away in tears. She passes Teddy, but doesn't pay him any mind, and ends up in the forest.
Later, Bon Bon's mother can't find her daughter, and asks around, but no one has seen her. Teddy appears and says he saw her run toward the forest. Several ponies head out to go and find her.
Bon Bon is still running away, and narrowly avoids running off a cliff. Shortly after, everyone sees her. Bon Bon calls them out for supposedly laughing at and mocking her, but she soon learns the truth: that they were laughing at Patch, and it was Patch herself who said she was the silliest pony. A camera pony from earlier shows Bon Bon the footage as proof.
Bon Bon agrees to return to the party, but then the ledge she's standing on crumbles, and she holds on for dear life. Starlight and Lancer rush in to save her, first by Lancer lassoing her before she can fall to the ground, then by him and Starlight safely lowering her down.
With time left before the end of the party, everyone returns to school. Bon Bon confidently walks through with just her necklace, garnering positive comments from the other partygoers. Lancer offers her a dance, which she accepts.

* AdultFear: Bon Bon runs away to the woods when she thinks everyone at the party is laughing at her. Her parents worry about her getting lost but after they find her, she nearly falls off a cliff and it's clear they're very scared for her.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Patch is great at throwing a watermelon in the air with one hoof while riding a unicycle, which means one of two things: Patch possesses super strength or the watermelon is incredibly light. There's also the fact that it splatters over her easily when watermelons in real life are much harder than that.
* BigDamnHeroes: Lancer uses his lasso to catch Bon Bon mid-fall, then she and Starlight lower her slowly down to the ground.
* ChekhovsGunman: The camera pony who was filming everyone at the school party turns out to be conveniently useful later when Bon Bon believes everyone was laughing at her costume and his footage just happened to have all the right moments needed to show her they were actually laughing at Patch's antics.
* ContinuityNod: Melody and the Rockin' Beats play [[Recap/MyLittlePonyTalesS1E3BattleOfTheBands "Sweet Music"]] briefly.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Teddy doesn't see the big deal with Bon Bon running away to the forest.
* TheFreelanceShameSquad: Patch getting watermelon all over her and falling down provokes a long bout of laughter from everyone.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Starlight notes how unusual it is of Bon Bon to pass up an ice cream sundae (for free, even!).
