Introduction
If it isn't my most favorite little sister in the world! Finally decided to get your very first buzz cut from me, hmm? Well, have a seat and let's get started!
I'm your ONLY and BIG sister, you silly. And I would prefer the usual, thank you very much. Just a moisturizing treatment and a trim, please -- you always do such a wonderful job...!
Well, I AM an expert, after all! That's why the Mane Event salon hired me! And with almost NO experience under my saddle! Haha...
I mean, they couldn't be making a HUGE mistake by giving me this opportunity, RIGHT? Maybe they weren't AWARE that I'm a big FRAUD and I don't know what I'm DOING?!
Z-Zephyr? You really WILL give me a buzz cut if you don't stop waving those shears around...! What's gotten into you? This isn't like you...
UUUUGH... I know, I know. It's just... the All-Equestria Manestyling Conference is happening THIS weekend, and they're hosting a panel of professional judges...
I KNOW it would be good for me to go... I'll probably learn a lot, or WHATEVER. But, honestly, baby sister, I'm TERRIFIED I'll be outed as some kind of stylist fraud!
Hmm... Okay, I've decided we'll go to ManeCon... together! What's a big sister for, if not helping her little baby brother conquer his fear?
W-Wow! Look at all the lovely manestyles and stylish stylists...! Oh, Zephyr's hiding. I know this is a little overwhelming, but my brother has a lot more in common with these ponies than he realizes...!
End of round 2
*huff* A-And this is what I call a, uh -- A Cantertrot Blob -- I MEAN, a "Canterlot Lob"! *huff*
Heyyy, nice cut! Real stylish! I know you wanted some of my confidence -- well, I think you got it!
Really? But I was freaking out the entire time!
Exactly! Did you think I WASN'T nervous when I did the Yak Hurricane on stage, in front of everypony? I was totally losing it up there...
But you gotta fake it 'til you make it -- at least in terms of confidence. In terms of TALENT... well, we both have plenty already! Don't you think?
Wow, you know... hearing that from somepony who loves manestyling as much as I do -- it somehow makes me feel a lot better?
I'm glad... ' cuz, uh, it looks like one of the judges caught your performance!
A rouge manestyling, hm? The edges are a bit uneven, and your clippers could have been coarser, but this is a fine job for an up-and-coming stylist. ... Very well done!
Ending
Ooo! Yona's mane has never looked so good! Where did Zephyr say he learned how to style like a Yak?
From a good friend I met at ManeCon! I guess you Friendship School kiddos have the right idea... you actually DO learn a lot from working together. What a concept!
Hehe... You're keeping in touch with Pixie Cut, brother 'Breeze?
We've even been exchanging tips -- and encouragements -- sister 'Shy!
Whenever I get that nagging feeling that I'm a fool, fraud or failure... I remember that I have friends and a brave big sis who believe in me. I'm a pretty lucky stylist!
