User blog:Gumball2/Let's Watch Princess Pony (Episode 2): Friendship Makes Rainbows

Lincoln: And we're back! Last time we had a bit of a cliffhanger, but now is the moment of truth.

Leni: Yeah! Let's get this started!

(Fade in. The chattering continues while Twily stares at the Moon)

Jewel: Do you know if the Princess is just running late?

Twily: No. She said nothing about...this.

Jewel: It's okay to speak your mind, dear. We're all trying to figure out what's going on.

Twily: Well if you must know-

(She's cut off by booming maniacal laughter)

Lincoln: Interrupted twice while talking to the same character? Yikes.

(Everypony turns. The center of the stage catches aflame while a black pony emerges from it, bearing reptile-like eyes. Twily is shocked to learn it's the Nightmare Enchantress from the Legend)

Enchantress: You thought you could keep me trapped on that rock while my sister took all the credit, but no more! Now, you will all love me!

Lucy: Someone has issues.

Enchantress: From this day forth, I will be your one and only ruler! Bask under my night, for it shall remain eternal!

(Enchantress heartily laughs)

Lincoln: So with no sun, no crops can grow...and then there'll be no one left to rule.

Leni: That's sad, Linky.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: It's True. Plants need sunlight to grow, even the ones that give us food.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: It's less depressing to not think about it.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Enchantress: Love me!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She extends her wings and soars in the air. Everypony is shocked, frightened, disappointed, etc. Meanwhile, Twily makes a dash to the Library. The five ponies watch their new friend race off and follow her. Once inside, Twily rips books off the shelves)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: No! No! No! No! No!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Could. Could. Could. Could you say that same word one more time please?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: I thought we were watching a different episode. Why does this feel the same?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(turns to Lincoln)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: How does that sound?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Pretty good. I think you're getting the hang of riffing.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Thanks. That means a lot coming from you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Do you have a hoot an' Haney what's goin' on 'round here?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily flinches and looks behind)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Why are you all here?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: As your friends, we stick together.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Yeah! You tell her!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Are all of you friends with each other?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Surprisingly, this breaks up the group's solidarity. All of them turn to each with uncertainty in their eyes. They awkwardly try to seek answers until Rosy proudly takes a step forward)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Well all of you are my friends because I consider Everypony in Maretown my friend!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Yay!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Jewel smiles and nudges Stuttersneeze)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Stuttersneeze and I have known each other since we were foals. She may not say much, but we have gotten close over the years.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: Yeah...

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily looks on, unsure of whether to be satisfied or caustic)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Well I'm glad you have each other, but I have work I need to do.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Now look here, cherry blossom. Even if we aren't all close, we all care about the fate of Equestria. You seem like a pretty smart cookie with a lot of ideas, but we wanna help ya out. 'Cause together, anything is possible.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: How rousing.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily sighes)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Fine.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She then turns to the bookshelf and looks through some more tones)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: I've been worried about the Enchantress's escape since I read about it in the Legend of the Two Sisters. Sadly, it says nothing about how to defeat her. That's why I have to find out a way.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: You?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily sighes once again)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Us.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: That was a quick turnaround.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Well Twily isn't mean.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Didn't you just say in the last episode that she was "really mean"?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Oh...well I meant that she isn't as mean now because she's with her friends.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Not yet. She has to learn how much they mean to her.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Right.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: There has to be a book somewhere in this library that can explain what's going on.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The six ponies disperse about the small library. Cut to a few minutes later, where much of the books have moved from their comfy shelves to a growing mountain. Bags are swelling under their eyes)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: This is taking forever!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Quit yer complainin'!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Stuttersneeze leafs over a page and nods her head)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: I could have caught up to the Enchantress by now! No way she'd beat me in a one on one.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: So much for teamwork.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: Well could you beat her?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Course not! She's so mysterious and full of spells, a simple Earth pony like me could never face her alone. That's why I'm here rather than running off!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Get on with it!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Stuttersneeze inches her way to Twily, who's head deep in a volume. She holds her book in front of her open to a particular page)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: And why is she taking her sweet time reading that? Couldn't she read that massive book in a breeze earlier?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Maybe she just really likes the book.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Hello?! We're in a state of emergency and everyone is letting little stuff get to them.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Maybe they like the dark after all.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: Um...would you like to look at this?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily turns and read the page it's open to. As she reads, her face lightens up)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: That's it!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Everyone turns to the lavender unicorn while she narrates the page she just read)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: "Hidden within the altar on the top floor of the Olde Royale Castle lies the Orb of Friendship"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Subtle!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: "The wielder Of it's immense power is that which encompass life, valor, truth, grace, tranquility, and virtue. Together, these forces access the Orb's radiant might, strong enough to erase any wrong"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: This is why I watch this show.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily looks anxiously at the assortment of ponies before her)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Well...thanks for the help.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: The job ain't done yet! We're coming with ya to the Castle!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: But it's dangerous! The Olde Royale Castle is in the-

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Cut to all six of them at the edge of the woods)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">All: Everfree Forest!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: These type of cuts are the best. Nothing funnier than stopping mid sentence and going all the way to the place you warned everyone about not going to only t then say the name of the place you're at. Did no one talk to each other on that whole walk over there?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Linky, I know you're trying to tell jokes, but you're taking all the fun out of this.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Even I have to admit you used too many words.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Lincoln turns to camera)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: I guess not everything's gonna hit. I'm no Luan.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: You don't have to suck up to her.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Sometimes, she really makes some nice zingers!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Beat)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: I think Luan is funny.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Fade to black. Fade back into same location. Each pony has a different reaction to the Forest before them. Flying sports a cocky grin while Stuttersneeze's legs tremble)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Before I proceed, Are you sure you wanna tag along? Who knows what lies in there.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Twily,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Places a hoof on her shoulder)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: A good pony never leaves another to fend for themselves. I'm with ya!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: So am I!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: I love a good adventure!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: You also only met today.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: If Rosy is on board, then I'm totes with her.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Do you just agree with whatever she says?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Yup!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Lincoln looks funnily at her older sister before turning back to the episode)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: What are friends for.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Well...Okay.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily steps into the woods and most of the others follow. Stuttersneeze, though, can only watch with fear in her eyes. Her hooves are practically glued to the ground. Jewel turns and sees her)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Come along.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(beat)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: We'll be all together. You won't be alone.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Nothing. Nervous about her friend, Jewel approaches Stuttersneeze)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: It's okay, darling. If you want, you can hold my hoof)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She offers up the white appendage. Stuttersneeze solemnly stares at it. One of her hooves wavers between the ground and the air. Jewel, though, maintains a reassuring smile. Delicate seconds pass by)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: See Leni, She's not only into fashion, but she's nice too.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: I know. I like Jewel.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: And...

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Again, you're not gonna convert her. Just let her like Rosy.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Lincoln scratches his head)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: If you get frightened, you-

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She's jammed forward, colliding into Stuttersneeze)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: We're waiting for you!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Jewel shoots her a scowl)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Flying! You should know better!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: We haven't stopped! Now hurry up or you're gonna get lost!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Well!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Flying darts ahead while Stuttersneeze instinctively grasps Jewel's hoof)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Aren't they just cute together.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Is this gonna be like me and Ronnie Anne where everyone acts like we're datinf when we're really just friends?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: If you think this is bad, just you wait.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Oh no...

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Cut to the other four ponies proceeding down the trail)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: The Princess took me to the Castle from time to time to pay respects for Princess Diana and this should be the right way.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: I could only imagine how the Princess feels.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily sighes)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: The Princess is always so calm and uplifting, but when we go, it's hard. She would do anything to have her sister back.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: She seems to be learning awfully quickly. At this rate, she'll be fully fledged friend by the end of episode five.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: No she won't. There's more than five episodes, silly.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Flying jerks her head behind)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: Where are they? I told them to catch up!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Everyone stops and examines the situation)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Don't tell me we lost them.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: I don't see them coming!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She looks down the foggy path from whence they came)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: We have to go back for them.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: But I know this path. If we veer off, who knows what can get to us!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: They need us and we can't leave somepony behind.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: To be fair, she did only meet you today.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: She's right. If there's untold demons out there, then our lost ones could be their prey. And it's too dangerous for Flying to go out there alone.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily turns back. Despite the uncertainty, she knows she has a heart)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Well...alright girls, let's find them.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: Come on!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The four ponies retrace their steps. Cut to later, where Flying soars over the trees, hovering over the grounded team)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Any sight of them?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: No!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Does anyone wanna play a game to pass the time?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Now's not the time for games, Rosy.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: How about a joke?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: No.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The gang continue their search silently)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Let's just hope something doesn't get her from the branches.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Flying continues her patrol over the area, squinting her eyes)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Yup. Nothing to see here.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The others scan their surroundings. Twily looks up at Flying)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: I think Linky might-

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(A vine snaps out from the leaves and envelops Flying. The others panic as Flying's screams ring out. Twily races to the bark and examines it)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Oh no! This is a Wild Wooly Tree!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: They couldn't get it a cooler name. Seriously?!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Flying!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Flying flails in the tangle of vines pulling her in)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Listen to me! To get out, you first need to strike the lower right vine with about 120 N of force.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: There is no lower or right! It's just vines everywhere!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: (anxious) Come on, memory. Please tell me I got the number right

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: (to Twily) That won't do anything.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She turns up to Flying)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Flying! You have to freeze!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: Are you crazy?! This thing is trying to eat me!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: You have to trust me! If you freeze, it'll think yer not there and will let go!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Everything I've read has told me about Pressure points. You need to strike those!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Twily, not all of them are like that! You have to believe me!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily stares dumbfounded at Pearasol)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Haven't your books taught you 'bout Wooly Trees That let go of things that stay still?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: It's not common!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: You gotta believe me!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Yes, trust me. I haven't read a book in my life.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: That's rude.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She turns to Lucy)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: And that's all I'm gonna say about that!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: What do I do?!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily stares at the folksy face with a familial grin. It was like they've known each other for years. Admittedly, it's too much. She relents)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Stay frozen, Flying!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: It'll go away! It'll think it isn't holding anything!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Flying slows her breathing. She closes her eyes and releases any tension in her limbs. If one didn't know any better, one would have taken her for dead. Remarkably, the vines slacken up. They retract into the tree while Flying slides out of its grip. Eventually she falls, but with a quick flap of her wings, she stabilizes)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: Wow...

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily watches awestruck before turning to Pearasol)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: How did you know that Tree would do that?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Pearasol turns away from Twily)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Sometimes...ya just gotta put the book down and live.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Even I have goosebumps.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: I could see that fitting in a movie trailer.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Rosy places a hoof on her shoulder)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: That must have been scary. Do you need a hug?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Flying darts forward)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: We have to keep going!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: That's mean!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The grounded ponies nod their heads and proceed. Cut to a further path along. Flying scans the ground below her, trying to pinpoint the others. A piercing scream alerts the crew. Flying swivels her head to detect the source. Once she's certain, she jabs her hoof to her right)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: They're over there!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The three dash through the bushes while Flying shoots down like a meteorite. Her hooves plant firmly on the ground. But it doesn't take long for her fierce eyes to soften)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: Seriously?!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Cut to Jewel and Stuttersneeze. The former is carrying a basket full of golden eggs)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: The horror! Some poor soul lost these! We have to find the owner.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: Uh...we have more important things to deal with right now.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: There's someone Out there that not only has to deal with eternal night, but also by the loss of all these eggs.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: The horror.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Leni chuckles)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Didn't you, like, already use that joke?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: This isn't exactly my specialty. Fresh material doesn't always fly off my tongue.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The others charge in)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: We heard screaming! Is everyone alright?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Flying sighes)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: Yes.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Jewel pouts and stomps her hoof)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Now that we have everyone, we should get back on track.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Cut to the others walking down the trail)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: I know this is all in the same place, but this episode feels like it jumps around.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: What do you mean?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Well in the last episode, once there were much longer scenes without fading to something else. But now everything feels like it's racing to the finish.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: But to be fair, this is an emergency.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: I know, but it's still worth noting.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(beat)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: I guess.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(A manticore lunges out in front, frightening the six ponies)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: So was he just hanging out in those bushes the whole time?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Maybe he likes it there.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Does he not have better things to do.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Sigh...No.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily charges up her horn)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Stand back girls. You wouldn't wanna be in front of this.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Stuttersneeze approaches her and taps her shoulder)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: You're gonna get hurt! Get out of the way!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: I wouldn't do that if I were you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: It's a manticore! The attacker is either gonna be us...or it.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: This isn't the way.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: What makes you so sure?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: He's...just hurt.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: What do you mean?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Rosy bounces out between the two)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Maybe it needs a joke to brighten up his mood!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: That's a nice thought, but I think he needs something else.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Stuttersneeze continues walking, getting within hoof's reach of the manticore. She smiles even with its toothy growl)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: There, there

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She brushes his furry belly. The fierce scowl immediately softens. Twily, shocked, deactivates her horn)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: It's Okay, big guy. Just tell me what's wrong.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Aw! Isn't she nice, Linky?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Either that or lethally naive.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: Shh...it's gonna be alright. Here, let me help you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The quivering manticore gently brings it paw up to her)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: Now this will just hurt for a second.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(A close up of the paw reveals a splinter burrowed in. Stuttersneeze confidently pulls it out, causing the manticore to yelp. Stuttersneeze, though, is quick to kiss the boo boo)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: There. All better?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Now, the manticore is smiling and hugs Stuttersneeze)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: See. He's just a sweet ol' teddy bear.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Sure. I mean, this show isn't exactly Ace Savvy.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: I'm telling you, it's not all girly. There will be action.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: How did you know he was hurt?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: Sometimes, you just have to be open minded. You can learn a lot about somemanticore just by listening.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily, still confused, continues watching the hug fest. Cut to a different part of the journey)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Well we're done with that part. Now on to more walking!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: I still don't get why you grabbed all those eggs.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Must I say it again! Someone out there needs them! And mind you, these aren't just any eggs. These are Gilded Eagle eggs, one of the rarest variety out there. Whoever came across them is gonna make a fortune!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(A weak, pathetic eep breaks out. The group stop. They look around, wondering where that noise is coming from. Eventually, a yellow bird lands in front of them. Jewel's eyes widen)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Wow. They sure are rare.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: I guess that means everyone can have eggs.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Hello, there. I am surprised to meet some- er...bird of your type. What brings you to these dark woods?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The bird whimpers and points its wing towards the basket)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: Um...it's saying those are her eggs.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Jewel gazes at the basket)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Oh...are you sure?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The bird squeals again)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: Yes.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Jewel gazes at the eggs for several seconds. Her eyes grow heavy while the pupils waver back and forth. But at last, she strengthens her resolve. She places the basket on the group)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Here...these are your's. May they hatch and grow into strong and proud eagles.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: And they sound like Principal Huggins scratching the chalkboard.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The bird bows)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: She says thank you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Jewel smiles)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Certainly. They are your's.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Yay! We need a "Eagle Found Her Babies Party"!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: I'm in!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The eagle grabs the basket with its talons and flies off, while Jewel looks on proudly. Rosy, though, is bummed that the eagles couldn't stay)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: So...you do realize that the basket belongs to a pony...and that a pony was collecting the eggs for themselves.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: Yes, but I was never gonna take them for myself. They never belonged to me to begin with.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Camera pans to Twily before fading to more walking)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Okay...I'm still confused.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: What's wrong?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: I asked you this the first time I saw this scene. So Jewel is fine with letting a pony steal the eggs from the eagle...if the eagle doesn't come back? Does the pony go right into the nest and steal the eggs or did the eagle just leave them on the ground for anyone to pick up? If it's the first, then the pony is stealing and if the eagle never finds the thief, then Jewel is fine with it. But if it's the second, then why would the eagle come back for eggs it basically disowns?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Leni shrugs)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Lucy, do you have any ideas?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Sigh. Even I have to admit this is muddled messaging. The best I can come up with is that if the eagle comes back, then it just makes the pony feel guilty...or whatever.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Also, What exactly do ponies do with the eggs? Do they cook them?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Linky!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Well I dunno. Are they just decorations? And what happens when the babies hatch?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Sigh.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: It's Okay, Lucy. We're just having fun.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Turns to Lincoln)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Is that what we're doing?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: It's what I'm trying to do. And learn more about it as I'm watching.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Lucy crosses her arms)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: I try not to think about it too much.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Fade to the gang approaching the Castle. Bricks have fallen out of place, the walls are moldy and any paint is chipped. With bated breath, they enter. The inside is little better. The main lobby is filled with relics gathering dust. Along the walls are banners dulled by time)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: All we have to do now is get to the top floor.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Shows the other ponies mixture of resolve and uncertainty. Cut to black. When we return, we see them ascending the spiraling marble steps)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Y'know, this Castle is pretty spooky.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: It can be.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Y'know, when I get spooked out, I like to sing to make myself feel better...

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Everyone hears her voice echo back against the walls. Once its remains wither away, their steps take back over)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy:...Anyone wanna sing along with me?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: I do! I do!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: We should be getting close to the top.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Are you sure?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: I'm sure.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Okay.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Boo! You're no fun!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Almost immediately after, they reach the top altar. In a lot of ways, it's a scaled down version of the lobby, with archaic regalia. The roof and much of the wall is missing, exposing the night sky and woods below. But in the back, there's a Well with a seal across the top)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: There it is.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily approaches the well with the others following behind)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: It is said that the wielder can restore peace to all of Equestria. Let's hope this works.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Her horn lights a white hue and sends a slow, yet graceful beam towards the seal. Twily closes her eyes and concentrates. Everyone else watches the spectacle before them, awestruck)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Any moment now.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Eventually, the stream ends, dimming the horn as the last of the spell goes to the seal. Twily opens her eyes and examines the work. The seal remains dark and shut as ever. Any confidence she had earlier crumbles)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: I don't understand. That's the most complex, powerful spell I know. I've spent months mastering it, hoping it could be used for something. Anything!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Her head lowers. Rosy sees this and goes up to Twily)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: It's Okay. You did the best-

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(An explosion fills the room with dust. The girls turn to the source, where a garish blue light penetrates the haze. Maniacal laughing rings out)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Enchantress: Bwahaha! You thought you could use that Orb to stop me!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(By then the dust has cleared)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: I'll never let you win, Enchantress!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Enchantress: Look at you! You're no more than Oriana's weakling. Do you think you can stop me?!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Try me!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Their two horns light up and they shoot spells at each other)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Finally, some action!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Some shots fire off, blowing holes in the stone walls. Stuttersneeze races to a fallen pillar and hides behind it, but one of Enchantress's blasts blows the marble to dust, leaving the poor thing to sprint off)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: You have wings, y'know.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: She's not very confident flying.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Jewel, remembering that she has a horn, lights it up and sends a blast at Enchantress, but the villain easily dodges it. But then, Twily sends a headon blast in the Enchantress's face)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Nice one!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Just as quickly, Enchantress charges up her horn and sends a blinding white blast at Twily. She props up a shield, which deflects it. But the powerful stream keeps coming, testing Twily's resolve. She exerts herself to keep up the shield, determined to defend herself. However, the membrane slowly wobbles and Twily wears out. The meeting point explodes, knocking Twily against the wall. She slides to the ground)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Stuttersneeze: Twily!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She sees the timid Pegasus race up to her side)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Jewel: My darling!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Jewel also joins her. A cacophony of concerns hit her as they come to her side)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Oh my gosh! Are you okay!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She grabs Twily, enveloping her in a bonecrushing hug)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Pearasol: Yer hurtin' her.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Gah! Sorry!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(She lowers her to the ground)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Enchantress: Hahahahaha! You act like a mere pupil too! You're too young and weak to take on me. You have lost.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily's eyes widen. Her words hit hard. The idea of defeat sounds more real, leaving her with nothing but despair)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: How dark.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Her eyes then turn to those around her. She sees all five of the ponies that had followed her joining her, protecting her, making sure she's okay. Their embrace feels warm, bright. Her eyes sparkle, along with her horn. A white aura envelops all six of them. Some of them are knocked from their trance)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Flying: What's happening?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: I...don't know.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The massive aura sends a blast to the well, causing it to light up. The seal breaks open, carrying the brilliant Orb from its resting place. The six ponies are in awe as they see the magical weapon come before them)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Enchantress: What do you think you're doing?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The Orb lands in Twily's hooves. As she stared at its reflective surface amazed, the truth hits her. She turns to all the others around her before returning to the Orb. She cracks a smile as she stands up. Her friends surround her as she holds the Orb out)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Sorry Enchantress, But you are no match to the power of valor, truth, grace, tranquility, life, and virtue!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The aura flows into the Orb before it sends off a giant rainbow blast directed at the Enchantress)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Enchantress: Noooooooo!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(As it hits her, the screen cuts to white)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: I guess friendship...makes rainbow blasts of awesome.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Yup. That's how this show is.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(As the blinding white dissipates, we see our six friends huddled against each other. As they come to terms with what has happened, they give each other some space. We see that it's no longer pitch night, but a serene sunrise. In the spot where Enchantress was lies a small, black pony. She struggles to her hooves and open her soft blue eyes. The others watch bewildered)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: Is that-

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: Diana!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The others turn to the Princess as she soars into the altar and approaches the black pony. Indeed, this is none other than Princess Diana)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Diana: Ori...

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Diana shivers and tries turning away from the Princess. Her shrinking form tells it's all, but Oriana extends a gentle wing)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: It's okay. I forgive you. I could never be mad to see you...not after all this time.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Diana: But...

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: Shh.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Oriana hugs her)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: Say no more.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The six watch the two while Diana whimpers into Oriana's shoulder. It's only then when Twily gazes down at her hooves. The Orb is gone)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: How did it go from super awesome to super awkward so fast?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(But no time for answers. Cut to Maretown, where the sun hangs high. Oriana and Diana proudly stand in front of the six)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Diana: Through your extraordinary talents, you six girls have saved me. I don't know how I can thank you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: You have no idea how happy I am to be reunited with you sister.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: That explains it. Sisters everywhere.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The Princess notices Twily's face. Rather than glowing with accomplishment, it had grown dower. Twily's head was facing the ground)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: What's wrong?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Twily glances at the five ponies around her)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: It's just that I became such good friends with all you and now I have to go back home.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(We witness a close up of her heavy eyes and depressing frown)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: This was actually my plan the whole time.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(That is enough to grab Twily's attention. Her ears perk up and her eyes widen. Oriana gently approaches her student and smiles)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: I sent you here to teach you that friendship is more important than studying.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Granted, I didn't make that clear and the fate of the world was at stake. But okay!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: I know that you still have a lot to learn about it and her you care very much for the bonds you made during this quest.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Rosy squished her cheeks)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Rosy: Aww!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: She's so cute!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: And with that, I have a new assignment for you. I would like you to stay in Ponyville and study friendship, learn everything there is to know about it.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The Princess smiles)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Oriana: I believe in you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Twily: I understand Princess. I won't let you down.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(The camera zooms in on Twily. She's proud as ever, knowing that she has already come so far. But then her gaze shifts to her new friends. Clearly, this will not be easy. Fade to black)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: And with that, the show has begun.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: You already everything that was gonna happen.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: I know, but it's important for the viewers at home.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Just wait until we get to the stuff you haven't seen.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: We still have one more episode that Linky has already seen.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: I know.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: I'm just saying. Be ready for that time. You'll really want to be on your feet.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Tell me about it.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Turns to camera)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lincoln: Well everyone. Did I make a big mistake doing this? Will I still be comedy gold going forward? Find out next time when we tackle Episode Three!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">(Leni waves to camera)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Leni: Bye Everyone!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:400;">Lucy: Until next time.
