While I've always prided myself on paying attention to detail, I've taken my latest collection to a whole new level with "Rarity's Rules of TLC"!
PPinkie
Judging by this baby, TLC stands for "Tasty Liquorice Candy"!
TLC stands for "Time, Love and Couture". And while I do agree that this dress has potential, I've not had enough time to give it enough love to become couture.
LPLimestone Pie
Gaze into the eyes of Limestone Pie. Ma and Pa may own this rock farm, but I keep it running. Cross me and-
PPinkie
Aye-aye, Captain Grumpy! No one’s gonna mess with your precious mine!
LLimestone
Or Holder’s Boulder!
PPinkie
[sighs] Everypony stay away from Holder’s Boulder! There, you happy now?
PPinkie
This is Marble Pie, my baby sister who’s only a few minutes younger than me, but she’ll always be a baby to me, isn’t that right? She’s so excited to meet everypony! Oh, and she wishes you all a happy Hearth’s Warming!
[Long pause, Pinkie elbows Marble]
[To Apple Bloom] Guess Pinkie Pie always did the talkin' for her.
PPinkie
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.
PPinkie
[shocked] YOU DON'T?!!
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.
PPinkie
[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.
BABaby Alicorn
[burbling]
[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.
PPinkie
Wow! A unicorn, and a Pegasus! So she could be a super-strong flyer and have crazy baby magic.
PPinkie
Excuse me, sir! I couldn't help but notice your nifty rock pouch! Is there any chance you'd be willing to part with it? I really need it. Like, really really really!
SRStreet Rat
So let me get this straight: You, uh, really really need this pouch, huh?
PPinkie
I believe I said really really really.
SRStreet Rat
Well, you know, pouches like this are really hard to come by these days. But I might be able to part with it for the right price.
PPinkie
So you'll sell it to me? And I'll finally be able to give my sister the perfect Pie Sisters' Surprise Swap Day present? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! [party cannon fires]
SRStreet Rat
Hmmm. That's one sweet party cannon you got there. Tell you what. I'd be more than happy to give you the pouch for the low, low price of... that cannon.
PPinkie
[gasps] M-My... party cannon...?
SRStreet Rat
Well, if you really want to give that sister of yours the perfect present, then you'll have to give up your party cannon. So, what do you say? The pouch for the cannon
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
[gasps] Spirit? What am I supposed to—
PPinkie (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Presents)
[reverberating] Snowfall Frost! It is I, the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents!
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
Um, don't you mean "Present", like the time?
PPinkie (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Presents)
No! Toys, Hearth's Warming doll... here, want a cupcake?
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
Fine, "Presents". All of the pointless things ponies waste their time on.
PPinkie (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Presents)
Oh, Snowfall, it's not what the gift is that matters, it's what the gift means!
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
It doesn't mean anything. It's just stuff!
PPinkie (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Presents)
Exactly! Sometimes a cupcake means "I love you!" Or a toy means "Hi, how're you doing?" Sometimes a book means "Your mane looks amazing!" And sometimes a scarf means... well, a scarf usually means you look cold. That one's easy.
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
I don't understand anything you're saying.
PPinkie (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Presents)
Whoa! Whoa! [trembles]
SStarlight (As Snowfall Frost)
What's happening to you?!
PPinkie (As the Spirit Of Hearth's Warming Presents)
My Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents Sense is going off! That means a song is coming on!
PPinkie
Oh, I can't really stop a super fun party in the middle of mega-happy fun times, can I?! Oh, what would Rarity want?!
RDRarity Devil
Keep that party going till the break of dawn!
RARarity Angel
Indubitably! And as for the roof, get jiggy! Raise it, Pinkie! Raise it like you've never raised it before!
PPinkie
Oh! If you say so!
RDRarity Devil
Oh, please, Pinkie Pie. Never in a million years would I say such balderdash!
Between Applejack and me, we've got two-thirds of a team. All we need is a unicorn. That's where you two come in.
PPinkie
[whispering loudly to Fluttershy] Uh... they know we're not unicorns, right?
Uh, obviously. You're going to be on my team, and Fluttershy is going to be on Applejack's team.
We'll play against each other along with whatever unicorns want to try out until we find the best one.
PPinkie
Ohhhh! Phew! That's a relief because I left my unicorn costume at home! That's "uncredible"! Unbelievable and incredible? [scoffs] Come on!
Cogeria... persuadere... fiducia... hmm. Ah! Of course! Fiducia Compelus needs a trigger. [amplified] Ponies! Hear my voice and listen! Pinkie, kitchen. Rarity, Applejack, library. Fluttershy, stay here. Rainbow Dash, find somewhere inside the castle and set up a place where we can chillax.
RDRainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie
[overlapped agreement]
