Pony Prom

1 No matter what you're doing No matter what you're playing It's no matter what you're saying 'Cause we're doing it all the same No matter where you are Or where you're coming from Put your hand on your heart Don't wait Yeah, you know that I, we, me, us We're doing it all the same No matter where you are Or where you're coming from Put your hand on your heart Don't wait Yeah, you know that I, we, me, us We're doing it all the same Yeah [Zoe.]
Somewhere, underneath all this, there's a tack room.
The annual stable's barn dance is tonight, and around here, that seems to be a pretty big deal.
Think prom, but with more ponies.
This one I call my "Oh, this old thing?" dress.
Cost: 3 pounds from a secondhand clothes shop.
Wow factor: ten out of ten.
It's It's okay.
Don't insult the dress.
It can hear you.
It's not "okay," it's perfect.
Shoes.
You need shoes.
- Ooh.
Excited much? - It's the barn dance.
We're gonna drink punch and eat mini-burgers, and break into a musical dance number we somehow all know the moves to.
Becky, you know that's just in movies, right? And then, when we're really old, we're gonna look back, thinking: "Oh, that was the night I danced with so-and-so, and look at us now, married 150 years.
" Yeah.
Except none of us actually have any dates.
So, you guys, funny thing is um, I actually asked Pin to the dance.
What? You and Pin? - That's not part of the movie.
- I mean, it's not a date.
We're just going as friends.
We're friends.
So, I hear you and Zoe are going to the dance together.
I know it's not a real date, but Oh, I thought you knew.
Knew what? Zoe only asked you because she felt sorry for you.
- Can't help but make trouble, can you? - I'm not making trouble.
I just don't want them to make a fool of you.
It was all a bit of a joke, apparently.
Zoe told Becky and Jade how you needed to lighten up, and they came up with this silly idea about asking you to the dance.
Is that true? Susie heard them.
I was so upset when she told me.
You deserve better.
Morning.
What exactly is going on here? Ted just popped by to say hello.
Well, you must be finished by now.
Hello is only one word.
Rosie.
I'm sorry.
I just know you have a lot of work to do.
Tonight, being the barn dance and all.
[Ted.]
She's right.
I best get going.
I'll pop back later and get those things sorted for your dad.
Oh, thanks.
He'd appreciate it.
As would I.
I'll see you out.
- [Frank.]
Good to see you, Ted.
- [Ted.]
Bye, Frank.
[indistinct chatter.]
- [Ted.]
See you later.
- [Maggie chuckling.]
See you later then.
They were quite the couple when they were young.
[engine starts.]
Broke Ted's heart when your mom left.
- I'll see you later, Gramps.
- Off to the stables? - Yeah, I think Ted needs my help - Ah.
to stay away from my mom.
- Hi.
- Oh, hi.
Okay, Marcus, I did something and I know you might not like it, but I just had to tell you: I rode Raven last night.
No, like, I actually rode him.
Out in the fields.
That's great.
It's a big step for you.
Did you miss the part where I said I rode Raven? I'm not a charity case, all right? Excuse me.
Pin.
Mia told me why you asked me to the dance.
You feel sorry for me.
What? No, no, no.
It's not like that Susie heard you, Zoe.
Apparently I need to lighten up.
- Okay, I said that, but I - I don't need you to look down on me.
I don't look down on you.
- I'm not coming to the dance with you.
- But I'm doing you a favor.
Now you can go with Mr.
Perfect.
[neighs.]
Bob.
Can this day get any worse? No.
I'm gonna search it and prove it to you.
Good news is that off-the-shoulder is in season, bad news is - Ghost Pony died 500 years ago today.
- What do you want me to do? Send flowers? - What if it comes back tonight? - And what if it's not real? What if we're in a spook-opalypse? No one is safe! G.
P.
made me do that.
The Ghost Pony made you clumsy, did it? Hey, guys, we can fix it.
Don't touch it.
It might be haunted.
- Can you just drop it? - I already did.
You owe me a new one.
If we don't deal with this now, you're gonna owe me a new soul.
[both.]
Zoe, tell her! Um Well [Zoe.]
Okay.
What I want to say is: "Jade, you can get a new screen online.
And, Becky, there is no Ghost Pony.
" But what I should say is: You girls are both right in your own way.
Oh, diplomatic.
I like it.
Seriously? I thought I could rely on you for a sensible answer.
I thought you believed in Ghost Pony.
Okay, wait, what? Okay, that's not the face of someone who's about to ride their favorite horse.
[chuckles.]
I upset Jade and Becky.
Mmm, Pin hates me.
Marcus is being very British.
And Bob ate my prom dress.
[chuckles.]
I thought my life was complicated.
[chuckles.]
Look, Zoe, it's not the mistakes that matter.
It's what you do about them that counts.
Why don't you two show me what you can do? Okay.
Okay.
Come on, Raven.
Steady now.
Good boy.
That's it! Good boy.
Come on.
Just give it a go.
[snorts.]
- We got this.
- [neighs.]
- All right.
Come on, come on.
- [clicks tongue.]
[whinnying.]
[Zoe.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey.
It's okay.
- Still not a fan of the water jump, then? - I wanted you to see how good we are.
Are you serious? Water jump or no water jump, Raven is a different horse, and that's all because of you.
I am so proud of you, Zoe.
However, you're not getting off that easily.
Go around.
Try again.
Uh Okay.
This is it? This is the barn dance? Don't worry, I'll rake up most of the poo before the dancing starts.
Where are the rest of the decorations? Uh, we don't have many since Bob got into the storage shed.
Right.
Just a few more bits to do.
- Wait, what? - I'll be done here in a minute.
We can't let him finish.
- We have to keep him away from my mom.
- Does the lady need an evil plan? Yes, indeed.
Becky's blog: the old barn.
Okay, the time has come.
I'm going to prove, once and for all, that Ghost Pony exists.
Observe.
Carrots, which no horse can resist.
Especially if they're a ghost that hasn't eaten for 500 years.
And as we all know, carrots glow in the dark, so they are particularly attractive to ghosts.
How's that for science, Jade? I plan to lure the Ghost Pony into this barn, and then catch him using this net.
I can only assume that he has a death ray or laser vision, so I've brought protection.
Things are about to get real.
Okay, I want lanterns, and drapey things, and lights.
Lots and lots of lights.
[sighs.]
Look, Rosie, I've finished.
This is all we've got.
Ted, Ted, Ted.
There's something that you should know about me.
What's that? Party planning is my superpower.
Delivery for Miss Rosie Phillips.
Bring them in! I ordered a few more decorations.
I hope you don't mind.
You know who else used to boss me about like this? Your mom.
Looks like you have a new boss now.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Did you see Ted at the stables? Mm-mm.
I wonder why he hasn't come back to fix the door.
Maybe something came up.
No.
When Ted says he's going to do something, he does it.
- He's always looked out for me.
- [scoffs.]
Yeah, that was when he was in love with you.
Sorry, Mom, but you lost your touch.
[laughing.]
- Mm.
Yeah, you're probably right.
- [babbles.]
Meanwhile, my daughter has two boys fighting over her.
[groans.]
Can we not talk boys right now? My barn dance plans are kind of falling apart.
Are you still going? I don't even have a dress.
I might be able to help you there.
I wore it for my school dance.
It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
Yeah.
No offense, Mom, but weren't you born before style began? All right, let's take a look.
- [laughs.]
It's actually cute.
- Don't sound so surprised.
See if it fits.
Oh, Ted, you need to fix this.
- We don't want droopy lighting.
- [sighs.]
Rosie, I told your mom I'd help her fix some stuff.
Oh, she's probably forgotten about you.
She's really scatter-brained these days.
- I I should let her know I'll be late.
- No! Um - I mean, there's still so much to do.
- Well, half an hour won't hurt.
Okay, 30 minutes is the difference between boring and bling-tastic.
- I won't be long.
- Fine! Go see my mom, have a cup of tea, get married.
See if I care.
I have to do everything myself, don't I? Okay All right.
[screams, whimpers.]
Someone, help! Quickly! [screams.]
- You okay? - I'm alive.
[chuckles.]
Thanks a lot.
Now you're gonna tell me what's really going on and why you're keeping me here.
[sighs.]
Oh, Zoe.
How do I look? Wait, something's missing.
It's beautiful.
It's an emerald.
Go to the dance, enjoy yourself.
Friends, boys Things have a way of working out.
Okay.
So, I went to have a look around, and when I came back, I saw this.
Something has been eating them.
I think my trap is working.
Ghost Pony is among us.
Among me.
- Ghost Pony is here.
- [rustling.]
What was that? [line ringing.]
- Hi, this is Becky - [Bob neighs.]
[Becky.]
and Bob.
We're on a hack, so we'll call you back! It's me.
Look, this is getting really silly.
Please, just call me back, Becky.
[line ringing.]
Pick up the phone, pick up the phone.
- Hi, this is Becky - [Bob neighs.]
[Becky.]
and Bob.
We're on a hack, so we'll call you back! Voice mail again.
It's hard to apologize to somebody when they won't pick up the phone.
Huh? I'm worried, Zoe.
Becky's so excited about the dance, she would never miss it.
- Unless - Something's happened.
Wait a second.
Check her blog.
See if she posted anything.
Great idea.
[keypad beeping.]
Right, she posted a live video an hour ago.
I think my trap is working.
Ghost Pony is among us.
- Guess what, it's about Ghost Pony.
- At least we know she's okay.
- [rustling over phone.]
- What was that? Something's coming! We have to go find her.
[Jade.]
Becky's phone is definitely here, somewhere.
[Zoe.]
But what if her phone is here, but she isn't? [Jade.]
What if the Ghost Pony zapped her? Are you deliberately trying to freak me out? [gasps.]
Bob! [snorts.]
But where's Becky? - Guys! - [Zoe.]
Becky! I half thought the Ghost Pony caught you.
Why weren't you answering your phone? I've been staking out the old barn.
Look.
I heard something coming, so I figured it was maybe Ghost Pony.
- So, I snuck out the back.
- Uh-huh.
But it wasn't a horse, it was a person.
They didn't stay long, but they left the light on, so I thought they'd Come back? - [vehicle approaching.]
- [gasps.]
[Zoe.]
Look.
Look.
Look, I know that guy.
That's the fake photographer.
Remember, the guy who said he was from the Pony People magazine? [Becky.]
He's wearing one of our hoodies.
- How very dare he.
- Becky, no.
Shh.
[Zoe.]
It all makes sense now.
I saw somebody at the beach in a Stables hoodie that day.
Sam must have given him one when he came to the yard.
[Becky.]
What's he doing? That's horse feed.
- [cell phone ringing.]
- [Zoe.]
He's gonna chain up a horse.
[Jade.]
That's horrible.
Yes.
Everything's ready at my end.
[Zoe.]
It's George.
George is the horse thief.
He's definitely going to keep a horse in there.
- We need to call Derek.
- What if he leaves before Derek gets here? Do you have that video of Bob when Becky thought he was singing? - Yes.
- He was totally singing.
- Something was irritating his nose.
- Which was making him sing.
Guys, horse thief.
He's about to get away.
- Here.
- Great.
[Bob snorts over phone.]
[Bob snorts over phone.]
[Bob snorts over phone.]
[Bob snorts over phone.]
Who's there? [Bob snorts over phone.]
[Bob snorts over phone.]
- Be as quiet as possible.
- [Bob snorts over phone.]
[Bob snorts over phone.]
[George.]
Who's in there? Is there someone in here? [girls shouting indistinctly.]
- [George.]
What do you think you're doing? - [girls.]
Yes! - [George.]
Open this door! - We did it! If you'd like to come with me, sir.
- Enjoy jail, George.
- If that's even your real name.
Don't give us evils just because you got totally owned by Pony Squad.
Well, Becky, you wanted to catch Ghost Pony, - and instead you caught a horse thief.
- [chuckling.]
I don't know what I was thinking.
You can't catch a ghost with a net.
- It'd go right through it.
- I can help you make a new trap.
I mean, if you need a hand with ghost catching.
Oh! Well, guys, this hug would be really awkward if you were still mad at me.
Of course we're not mad at you.
[gasps.]
The dance.
- Come on or we're gonna be late.
- Wait.
Do I look okay? - Uh, yeah.
You got a little something - Here? - Here? Is it gone? - [Zoe.]
Um - [Jade.]
She was - You're close.
You're close.
You're close.
You know what? I think we look great.
- Come on, let's go get the horses.
- Come on.
[indistinct chatter.]
- [pop music playing over speakers.]
- The stars were our night-lights Swam through your deep sea Beneath the morning's light Welcome to Pony Prom.
What happened to you guys? We caught the horse thief, that's what happened.
- What? - [Zoe.]
It's true.
We found him sneaking around the old barn - and we totally caught him.
- That's amazing.
- We did it.
- We're heroes.
I have a feeling tonight is going to be a great night.
My heart is beating loud With the jungle Babe, you and I Are nothing but animals You make me feel I'm lost in the wild I'm feeling up high And out of my head My heart is beating loud With the jungle You know, if this handyman thing doesn't work out, then you might have a future in party planning.
[chuckles.]
I think I'll leave that to you.
You don't have to worry, Rosie.
Me and your mom We're just friends with a lot of history.
That's all.
I know.
That's exactly why I called her.
Fancy showing these kids how it's done? Um, I'm not sure my feet will remember which way to go.
[laughs.]
Come on, I'll show you.
Just to be clear, this is not a date.
May I have the pleasure of a dance? I'm sorry.
I don't date younger men.
We'll see about that.
I don't know about you guys, but I definitely don't buy Mia and Pin.
- You mean Pia? - Or Min.
She's obviously using him just to get back at Marcus.
Well, that's not working.
[Becky.]
Aw, poor Derek.
Yeah, I know, right? He arrested the horse thief.
He at least deserves a dance.
Let it go Let it free Want to go for a dance? Come! Hey, Sam, want to dance? No, I don't do dancing.
Oh, hey! - Hey.
- Hi.
Wanna see me do the robot? [laughs.]
Oh, hey.
Why isn't Zoe with Pin? She not prom with boy.
What she means is that, um, Zoe doesn't have a date.
Why don't you ask her to dance? No.
I tried asking, but she wasn't interested Wrong! Marcus, bad! Uh, by which Becky means, she didn't know you were asking, doofus.
Look, it's not too late.
Go on, go ask her.
You make me feel I'm lost in the wild I'm feeling up high And out of my head My heart is beating loud With the jungle Babe, you and I Are nothing but animals So, you and Mia, huh? - Yeah.
- Cool.
All I ever wanted was for you to come and have fun, Pin.
With me, with Mia, with whoever.
Have a great night.
- I will.
- Good.
So, seeing as it was your idea, do you want to announce prom king and queen? Are you kidding me? That's the most important part of the night.
Yeah.
You deserve it.
[giggles.]
[music fades.]
Attention, Pony Prom-ers.
It's time to announce the prom king and queen.
But first, I would like to share a few words with you.
Now, I know you all enjoy being covered in mud and horse hair, and of course, poop.
[all laugh.]
But tonight, each and every one of you look like a prom king or queen.
[applause.]
But when it comes to prom king or queen, there can be only one winning couple.
I have the winners right here in this very envelope.
This could be our big moment.
Imagine what everyone would say.
Well, I didn't buy you that jacket for nothing.
[thunder rolling.]
And the winners are Mia and Marcus! Ah! I can't believe it.
[applause.]
Of course Mia would be prom queen.
Congratulations.
Yeah, but where's her king? [Rosie.]
Marcus? Marcus? - What's wrong? - I'm going home.
Don't you want to see the prom king and queen get crowned? [chuckles.]
- Pin, wait a minute.
- What are you even doing here, Zoe? Go back inside.
Mr.
Perfect's waiting for you.
Is that what this is about? You came with someone else.
There is nothing going on between me and Marcus.
I asked you to the dance because I wanted to come with you.
I know you want to push people away, but I like you.
I like you, and there is nothing you can do to change that.
- But you don't have to believe me.
- Zoe, wait.
[crowd exclaims.]
[horse whinnying.]
- Wait a second.
- What's wrong? Raven! Raven! Raven No! No, no, no, no, no! [whinnies.]
Raven! Raven!
