Of course! What can I do?
[door opens]
Whoa, what happened to you?
Twilight[groans, looking tired] Sorry, Spike. I just... [yawns] ...need a quick... nap. Napkin! Tell the delegates I'll... [trails off]
She's been awake for 3 straight days preparing for the summit. We need to make sure she gets some rest today. She'll never be able to attend the welcome reception in this condition. Can I count on you to see to it that she isn't disturbed?
I promise! I won't let you down!
Twilight
Ugh. Is everypony alright?
I can't tell if my eyes are open or closed.
I think I can see a little bit.
[crash]
[light flickers on]
MCMain cast sans Pinkie
Ooooh...
Look at these! Pinkie's made files for everypony in town!
With exactly what kind of parties we like.
Pinkie Pie has a secret party-planning cave?! How cool is this?!
[reading] "Twilight Sparkle likes vanilla ice cream, red balloons, dancing..."
Twilight
That's right!
"But she's afraid of quesadillas."
Twilight
No, I'm not! They're just so... [shudders] cheesy.
MCMain cast sans Pinkie
[talking over each other]
Looky here. It's notes for the party she wants to throw for her folks' 15th anniversary. But they ain't nearly that old! Huh. She's already plannin' their 100th too. And their 500th?
Twilight
I had no idea she worked so hard on her parties.
She may be more organized than you, Twilight.
Twilight
Let's not get carried away.
I just wish Pinkie Pie were here so we could tell her how much we all appreciate her hard work.
[tearing up] Thank you! Thank you! I love you too! All of you!
Twilight
You're back!
I tried to go to Yakyakistan so I could bring something back for my party. But at the last second, I made a mistake. [sighs] I worked harder on this party than any party ever. But I'm still just a big failure.
Twilight
Pinkie, you're not a failure.
What matters is how hard you tried.
Who else would've gone all across Equestria to plan one party?
Young Twilight
But according to this book, you’re supposed to add the sodium chloride first.
YMYoung Moondancer
I read ahead, and to make a proper salt lick, you need to add the molasses first!
Young Twilight
Well, I read ahead too, Moondancer! And I'm sure it said sodium chloride first!
YMYoung Moondancer
[flatly] Oh. I've got the wrong book. That’s so hilarious.
Twilight
Wow, that was inspired!
You have to do this every year!
We...could celebrate Nightmare Night together every year....But...the truth is, I really don’t want to.
But you’ve done it! You’ve found a way that we can all have a fabulous time together!
Yes, but I’ve also realized something: You all may love Nightmare Night, and I may be good at being a part of it, but it’s no fun for me to see my friends feel like they’re in danger, even if I know they’re not. I really don’t like it, It’s just not my cup of tea.
[scary voice] Spoooooky tea?
No, just regular tea. We do lots of fun things together, but I’m afraid this just isn’t gonna be one of them. Actually, I’m not afraid, I’m perfectly fine with it.
Twilight
Then we are, too.
I know there's no excuse for what I did, but I want you all to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair.
Twilight
I've been thinking a lot about how badly Equestria fared without just one group of friends. Because even when one friendship dies, the results can be disastrous.
I know first-hoof how true that can be.
Twilight
And that's why I've asked you here. If you're willing to learn, I'm willing to teach you what I know. You'll have the power to make Equestria an even better place.
Twilight
Starting is easy. All you have to do is make a friend...and you've got seven of them right here.
Twilight
I didn't know you were meeting us!
[tired] Of course I am! It's me, right here. Here I am. Why wouldn't I come meet my sister? Though we have met before, heh-heh...
Twilight
Are you all right?
[tired] Never better! Being a father is amazing! And wonderful, and amazing, and confusing, and amazing, but surprising too, you know? I mean, not that you'd know. You wouldn't know, I know... you know?
BABaby Alicorn
[burbling]
Twilight
The baby is an Alicorn?!
[tired] It looks that way.
But... but... but I thought Alicorn wings had to be earned by accomplishing some great, princess-worthy deed!
Yeah. How can you just be born with them?
The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!
It is beyond even our understanding.
[hushed] That's not very reassuring.
Wow! A unicorn, and a Pegasus! So she could be a super-strong flyer and have crazy baby magic.
We have Sunburst to thank for that.
I hope he takes his role as crystaller seriously. Something tells me the baby will need a pony like him to look to for magical advice.
TVTwilight Velvet (Mrs. Sparkle)
Cadance, darling, aren't we going to name the poor little dear, or are we going to spend our entire visit just calling her "the baby"?
We were thinking... "Flurry Heart".
You know, to remember the occasion.
Oh, goodness, how could anypony forget?
Twilight
I think it's lovely. [kisses]
Twilight
You could say that.
We've had our differences. What matters is Twilight gave me a second chance, and I appreciate it. [pause]
Twilight
So, um, what brings you to Ponyville?
The Grrrreat and Powerful Trrrrixie has come to perform a new stage show of grand illusion! I am calling it "The Humble and Penitent Trixie's Equestrian Apology Tour"!
That's kind of a mouthful.
[After Trixie deceived Starlight]
Twilight
Well, you won. I hope you're happy!
[sighs] Looks like the Great and Powerful Trixie is back to a solo show.
Twilight
Trixie?
Which is exactly the way she likes it! Thank you, Princess Twilight, for getting rid of that annoying pony who wanted to be my first friend! I am not sad at all! I definitely don't feel as if my heart is breaking into a million pieces! [closes the curtain]
[Twilight feels ashamed]
Twilight
Hey, Starlight! Ready to celebrate your first Hearth's Warming Eve here in Ponyville?
I was thinking I might just skip it.
TSTwilight and Spike
[gasp]
Skip Hearth's Warming Eve?!
I just find it all a little silly. It's mostly a day dedicated to presents and candy, isn't it?
And why would you deny yourself presents and candy? That's crazy talk!
Twilight
I think what Spike means to say is Hearth's Warming is about more than presents and candy. It's a time to spend with friends and family when we celebrate a very important day in Equestria's history.
I think to most ponies, it's just an excuse for silly songs and fun, not a day to remember some old story.
Twilight
Maybe you just haven't heard the right Hearth's Warming Eve story yet!
Earth ponies, Pegasi, and unicorns sing songs around a hearth to fight back an eternal winter caused by the mythical windigos? Ha! Every foal and filly knows that story.
Twilight
Not that one. My favorite holiday story, "A Hearth's Warming Tale"!
Twilight
Snowfall was all set to cast her spell that would erase Hearth's Warming Eve for all time... [narrating] ...when a voice from the hearth caught her attention.
AApplejack (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Past)
You sure you wanna go through with this?
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
Huh?! Who's there?!
AApplejack (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Past)
The Spirit of Hearth's Warming Past, that's who. And you and me have got to have us a little chat.
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
A spirit?! [suspiciously] I didn't cast any spirit summoning spell. What are you doing here?
AApplejack (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Past)
You don't think a spell like that would get by without some powerful forces noticing? You've got our attention, Snowfall Frost, and we've got some pretty strong opinions on this spell of yours.
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
"We"?
AApplejack (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Past)
They'll be along in a bit. For now, it's just you and me. Let's get a move on. We got a ton to see and barely any time to see it.
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
I'm not going anywhere. I've got a spell to cast, and I don't need a history lesson about Hearth's Warming Eve.
AApplejack (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Past)
We aren't going to the past to learn about the holiday. We're going to learn about you.
