Thank you so much for inviting me to your family's holiday party.
Would you say the Apple Family Annual Holiday Harvest
and Cider-Making Fest is more of a mulling fest or a chilling fest?
Don't you fret.
It's always a blast.
Well, aside from when the Flim Flam brothers make their appearance.
Huh?
They make it a tradition to swindle my family
at the Harvest and Cider-Making Party.
One year, they took all our ladders in the middle of the party.
We had to improvise.
Another year, they de-bottomed our baskets.
Last year, they gave Apple Bloom a pet worm.
Colonel Wigglesworth and all his friends...
...ate up every apple we had.
That's horrible.
And to think, bow ties used to be
a symbol of integrity that only cool people wore.
Oh, honey, you're thinkin' of bolo ties.
Anyway, this year we're settin' traps
for those no-good Flim Flam brothers.
If they try anythin' slippery, then things are gonna get sticky.
Applejack, I promise if you let me come up with a plan,
we can out-bamboozle those bamboozlers!
I was hopin' you'd say that!
Yes!
Yuck!
Nobody's talkin.
They're just standin' around.
Guess a cider party ain't much fun without cider.
You sure this is the best way to fool the Flim Flam brothers?
It is in fact the only way.
I triple-checked my game theory matrix.
Those no-good grifters are gonna offer
a fake diamond for the party's eponymous cider.
We'll play along, and by the time they figure out
we sold them pepper and salt water,
we'll be celebrating our victory with the real cider,
which is hidden in here.
I hope you're right.
Trust me.
Greetings!
Salutations!
No tricks this year!
Cross our hearts of gold!
Speakin' of gold, how would you feel about selling us your cider?
For the generous sum of...
...Let's say...
...This genuine real-life diamond?
Y'all come back next year, ya hear?
- We did it! - That was amazin'!
Twilight was one step ahead of 'em from start to finish!
Let the real Apple Family Annual Holiday Harvest
and Cider-Makin' Fest begin!
Where's the real cider?
Did they take the real cider?!
Aw, man!
That ain't fair!
They must've known about the switcheroo
and double-reverse switcheroo'd us right back!
Unless I knew they'd doubled-back
and take the real cider using a series of tunnels
I dug knowing they'd find them and use them,
ensuring that when they emerged
right outside the front door, they'd get...
trapped in a net!
Did you do that?
You tell me!
Nope.
Looking for this?
Nobody outsmarts the Flim Flam brothers.
Oh, thanks for the cider!
Time to go!
See you next year!
Oh, and one more thing...
Enjoy your pepper water!
Guess this party's over.
Actually...
it never got started.
No wonder Scootaloo was so quiet.
But...
who...
how...
how'd you...?
These clocks are all wrong.
The real party doesn't start for another twenty minutes.
Delicious!
You didn't switch the cider, did ya?
Surprise me once, shame on you!
Surprise me twice, shame on me!
Surprise me three times,
the fourth surprise is gonna be on you!
You're the surprised ones!
I...
I don't know what to say.
How about...
cheers?
