As part of her new vision for the Rainbooms and keeping to her philosophy of "B.Y.B.B.", she wants to dress up Fluttershy to give her a "bad girl" public image. Nearby, Vignette takes Fluttershy aside to discuss her plans for the light parade. In another part of the theme park, Applejack discovers that Micro Chips has been hired to sell caramel apples instead of her or Rarity. When Applejack suggests taking a break, Rarity declines and wants to continue working, much to Applejack's disappointment. Meanwhile, Rarity shows Applejack around the parade prep area and gives directions to a designing team of multiple people. When they eventually work their way up to the larger rollercoaster, even Rainbow Dash gets scared from riding, and Fluttershy commends her on her bravery. While the girls' instruments get set up, they split up to explore and enjoy Equestria Land, and Rarity returns to oversee the parade's fashion designs.įluttershy and Rainbow Dash check out the cloud-themed rollercoaster, but Fluttershy is nervous about riding it and instead rides a smaller rollercoaster intended for young children. She decides to make them the central attraction of her light parade, and the girls accept out of desire to help Rarity, but Applejack harbors hostility and suspicion toward Rarity's new "best friend" Vignette. Rarity introduces Vignette to her friends, but Vignette only expresses interest in them after learning they're members of the popular rock band the Rainbooms. Rarity even refers to Vignette as her "best friend", much to Applejack's shock and envy. Due to their time of working together, Rarity and Vignette appear to have already gotten very friendly. On Equestria Land's opening day, Applejack and the other girls arrive to support Rarity, and Rarity introduces them to Vignette Valencia. She calls Applejack at her home and invites her and the rest of their friends to the parade's opening night, and Applejack accepts, eager to support Rarity at her new job. Vignette is certain that Rarity's fashion skills will make her light parade a huge success, and Rarity is charmed by Vignette's flattery. Later, Rarity meets with Vignette at Equestria Land, where Vignette expresses how impressed she is with Rarity's social media presence. Rarity considers turning down her position since she and Applejack won't be working together for the summer, but Applejack insists that she accept it, despite her hidden jealousy.

Just then, they each get a reply on their phones Rarity is hired on as the new fashion designer for Vignette Valencia's light parade, but Applejack's application is declined.

Some time later, the Equestria Girls gather at the Canterlot Mall, where Applejack and Rarity wait for news about their recent summer applications to work at Equestria Land as caramel-apple servers. In addition, Vignette discovers she can create holograms of different salads using the phone's touch screen. When Vignette uses the phone to take a picture of her salad to upload to social media, the salad becomes digitized and vanishes into thin air. As she enjoys a salad to calm her nerves, a wisp of Equestrian magic appears and enchants her smartphone. With two weeks before the park opens, Vignette wonders where she is going to find a replacement fashion designer. However, her constant disagreements with the parade's fashion designer and desire to change the show's costumes cause the fashion designer to quit. Vignette frequently touts her philosophy of "B.Y.B.B.-be yourself but better". The special begins at the theme park Equestria Land, where public relations expert and social media celebrity Vignette Valencia oversees the direction of a light parade show to promote the park's upcoming grand opening.
