fright she'll get over

funny Clover that was terrific the old

Amnesia trick I love it what's amnesia

thought of it last time Miss hacky

nailed me for not doing my homework but

I'm not pretending you really TR not

blank

is this it's yours Clover your very own

if you say so I think we better take her

inside well hello everybody what a nice

surprise are you my sister what uh

Clover has Amnesia I think I know what's

wrong

I was scared silly too the first time I

danced on stage before an audience they

practically had to carry me out there I

was desperately afraid I'd make a fool

of myself but once I started dancing

everything was fine so I really know how

you feel I know it's harder for you

because of me but just be yourself

that's all anyone really expects it's a

shame you won't be there tonight it

would have been a great chance for you

to find out just how good you are some

ponies never get that

chance one minute everyone one

minute I I don't know if I can do it

Madam Pon I was supposed to be a

snowflake not the harleen I understand
