If Applejack helps, she dons the only spare costume - a tree - and goes on-stage as an enchanted tree to lift the bell. If Twilight helps, Sunset gets her to use her telekinesis to lift it, and Rainbow Dash (as the "Fairy Bootmother") pretends she's doing it with her magic. If Sunset helps, she improvises a MetaFiction monologue about how the bell's fall was on purpose and is a metaphor for life, and gets the whole audience to join in "ringing" the bell.

* FacePalm: This is Applejack's reaction when she realizes the only available costume is one of a tree.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Averted. During the play, Twilight, playing Selfie Soot‘s mother, almost accidentally hits her husband, played by Flash Sentry, with a frying pan. Flash manages to duck just in time to avoid it, and Twilight, realizing what she almost did, just grins sheepishly.
* HandSignals: In Twilight’s ending, Sunset tries this to get Twilight to use her magic on the bell. But when Twilight doesn’t understand her she gives up and just points to her geode in annoyance.

* WholePlotReference: The play seems to be very loosely based on ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}'': Rarity plays a young daughter of a coal miner who dreams of being able to go to Shiny City and be a dancer, but is unable until her "Fairy Bootmother" gives her a pair of diamond boots.

!!Tropes:

* AllPartOfTheShow: Sunset tries to play her running on stage as this.
* BadBadActing: Sunset is a girl of many talents, but acting is apparently not one of them. Not that the rest of the group are that much better.
* CuttingOffTheBranches: Some of the endings of the previous MultipleEndings shorts are canonized.
* LargeHam: This is Rarity's ''default'' state, being in a play just gives her an excuse to ramp it up.
* SchoolPlay: Duh. Complete with poor acting and worse special effects.
* TheShowMustGoWrong: Fluttershy's bell falls as she goes to ring it, and the play grinds to a halt as the actors wonder what to do.
