Chapter 1: Let the Games Begin[edit]
All the girls in Springfield go crazy when they see a poster for Princess Ponypalooza, which is coming to town. Lisa is skeptical of it because it's just a promotional gimmick to get people to buy more toys and accessories. However, when Francine Rhenquist points out that the princess fashion contest winner wins a real pony, Lisa becomes interested, despite hating princess couture. A princess and Princess Precious show up, drawing the attention of everyone. Meanwhile, Lisa battles with herself because she wants to win the pony, but doesn't want to join such a reprehensible contest. When she gets closer to Princess Precious, she imagines herself riding the pony and having fun. She then decides to enter the contest.
Lisa goes to The Android's Dungeon to look at Princess Pony merchandise, where she is convinced by Comic Book Guy to buy the Princess Pony Boudoir Beauty playset. As she leaves, Bart skateboards past her but backs up when he notices what Lisa has bought. When Lisa says that the winner gets a pony, Bart becomes interested because a pony would make mowing the lawn a breeze. Lisa tells Bart to butt out as the contest is for princesses only, but Bart decides to enter anyway, with Comic Book Guy telling him that he'll teach him about Princess Pony.
