Meanwhile, in Ponyville, the rest of Twilight's friends are busy preparing the stage for the play. Twilight tells her friends the good news. Celestia is especially uncertain because she has no acting experience, but Twilight assures her she doesn't need experience since she will be playing as herself. Celestia and Spike are uncertain about Twilight's sudden casting decision, but Twilight says she is more than happy to do something nice for someone who has always put others before herself.

Upon learning that Celestia has never been in a play herself, Twilight offers her the leading role in her own play.

Twilight plans to put on a play at the School of Friendship, and Celestia is thrilled by the idea, having had a deep love for the theater ever since she was little. The episode begins at Canterlot Castle, where Twilight Sparkle shares with Princess Celestia her idea for commemorating Celestia's "ones-versary"-the one thousand, one hundred, and eleventh anniversary of when she first raised the sun.
