What started as a backyard
hobby for fruit farmers

into a literal phenomenon.

to their new obsession.

It says very clearly
on page six forty-seven
364
00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:57,048
of the expanded buckball
tournament rules that
365

"a goal is scored when an
earth pony sends the ball
366
00:16:59,585 --> 00:17:02,686

doesn't say which basket.

I know. But I told you,
you didn't need to.

the whole sportify

You can't just give up.

Wind and Sky deserve
a pony they both like

wants to "rethink" things,

her to the lunch.

It's beating her

And it's barely a
sports reference.
399

How do you not know that?
400
00:18:25,571 --> 00:18:32,110
Because I don't know
anything about sports!

just made things worse.

slow, weak...

OK, again, not really
making me feel better.

Why do you like him?

seem to care about him,

he just wants you to like him.
