[Twilight sends her letter, with a bottle of disappearing ink, to Celestia, who starts to write a reply]
CelestiaDear Twilight Sparkle, my most faithful student-- [words disappear] Oh, wrong ink. [giggles]
CelestiaA phoenix is a majestic, magical bird. While it appears healthy and happy most of the time, every so often, it must renew itself by shedding all of its feathers and bursting into flames. Rather melodramatic, if you ask me...
Princess Celestia[voiceover] I knew there was a special group of fillies in Ponyville, but I kept inventing all kinds of reasons why I shouldn't send you.
Princess Celestia[flat and stilted] It is time for a new day in Equestria-aaa.
Princess CelestiaA good leader knows when to ask for help, but a great leader has the courage to admit when they've made a mistake and the strength to make it right.
[Princess Celestia, a white alicorn with a green, blue and pink wavy mane and tail, graduates Twilight]
Princess CelestiaTwilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it.
But...you told me it was all an old pony tale.
CelestiaI told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon’s return, and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart.
[Twilight smiles at her friends]
CelestiaNow if only another will as well.
[Reveal that Nightmare Moon has transformed back into Luna, a dark blue alicorn with short blue hair]
CelestiaPrincess Luna.
[Luna wakes up and gasps]
CelestiaIt has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister.
Sister?
CelestiaWill you accept my friendship?
[Long pause.]
I’m so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister.
CelestiaI’ve missed you too.
’’’Gaunson: yeah me too Luna though I’ll except your friendship.
CelestiaWhy so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?
That’s just it. Just when I learn how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them.
PrincessSpike, take a note, please. [Spike writes something as she dictates.] "I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings, from her new home...in Ponyville!"
[Twilight's friends gather around her.]
Oh, thank you, Princess Celestia! I’ll study harder than ever before!
[Round of applause.]
Isn’t this exciting? Are you excited? ’Cause I’m excited, I’ve never been so excited! Well, except for the time that I went— [gasps] But I mean, really...
Well, it can't get any worse...
[Fluttershy suddenly bursts through the door. A large number of animals from outside start rushing in]
[agitated and livid] You're... going to LOVE ME!!
[All the other ponies start to flee, while Twilight is dumbfounded by the scene]
Celestia[whispers] Run.
You want to know why my eyes went all- [rolls eyes, followed by a grunt of pain] Because ever since I started having to perform my protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. Cadance hasn't been casting spells on me. She's been using her magic to heal me!
[inhales]
And she decided to replace her bridesmaids because she found out the only reason they wanted to be in the wedding was so that they could meet Canterlot royalty! And if she hasn't been on her best behavior with your [stomps hoof] friends, it's because with me being so busy, she's had to make all the decisions about the wedding!
I was just trying to–
She's been completely stressed out because it's really important to her that her big day be perfect! Something that obviously wasn't important to you. [Twilight gasps] Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and comfort my bride. And you can forget about being my best mare. In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't show up to the wedding at all.
C'mon, y'all. Let's go check on the princess.
[The rest of Twilight's friends; including Spike, leave her]
I was-
Princess Celestia[coldly yet sternly] You have a lot to think about.
[The wedding hall doors slam, leaving Twilight alone]
I-I don't understand. How can there be two of 'em?
She's a changeling! She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them!
["Cadance" disposes her disguise and transforms into Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings.]
[laughing] Right you are, Princess. And as queen of the changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered. My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!
They'll never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us!
[chuckling] Oh, I doubt that. Isn't that right, dear?
Mm-hmm.
Ah, ah, ah. Don't want to go back to the caves now, do you? Ever since I took your place, I've been feeding off Shining Armor's love for you. Every moment he grows weaker and so does his spell. Even now, my minions are chipping away at it.
[laughing]
[laughing] He may not be my husband, but he is under my total control now.
[both gasps]
And, I'm sorry to say, unable to perform his duties as captain of the Royal Guard.
Not my Shining Armor!
Soon, my changeling army will break through. First, we take Canterlot. And then, all of Equestria!
Princess CelestiaNo. You won't. You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell, but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!
[grunting]
[Princess Celestia and Queen Chrysalis engage in a beam battle. Queen Chrysalis ends up winning and Princess Celestia lands on the floor, her horn burnt and her crown loose. The wedding audience gasps in horror.]
Princess Celestia!
[Twilight runs to her. Her friends follow her.]
Ah! Shining Armor's love for you is even stronger than I thought! Consuming it has made me even more powerful than Celestia!
Princess CelestiaThe Elements of Harmony. You must get to them, and use their power to defeat the queen.
Rarity!
[laughing] You can run, but you can't hide!
[laughing] It's funny, really. Twilight here was suspicious of my behavior all along. [Twilight slaps her hoof from her chin] Too bad the rest of you were too caught up in your wedding planning to realize those suspicions were correct! [laughing]
Sorry, Twi. We should've listened to you.
It's not your fault. She fooled everypony.
Hmm, I did, didn't I?
[She goes over to a window]
This day has been just perfect
The kind of day which I dreamed since I was small
Everpony I'll soon control
Every stallion, mare, and foal
Who says a girl can't really have it all? [evil laugh]
Quick! Go to him while you still have the chance!
[magic electric sounds]
Wha-where... Huh? Is-is the wedding over?
It's all over!
Your spell! Perform your spell!
[evil laughing] What good would that do? My changelings already roam free.
No! [magic zaps] My power is useless now. I don't have the strength to repel them.
My love will give you strength.
[chuckling] What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous sentiment.
[magic twinkling and surging]
Nooooo!
[screaming]
[After the Changelings have been driven out of Canterlot, decoy Celestia fall out of the cacoon as Twilight rushes over to help her but relized it was a decoy .]
Princess CelestiaDon't worry about me. I'm fine. You have a real wedding to put together.
[Twilight smiles warmly.]
Part 1
You want me to help protect an entire empire?
Princess CelestiaIt is, as I said, a different kind of test. But one I'm certain you will pass.
How do I begin?
Princess CelestiaBy joining Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in the Crystal Empire.
My brother is there?
Princess CelestiaHe is. Your Ponyville friends will join you as well. I have every confidence you will succeed. And when you do, I'll know you are ready to move on to the next level of your studies.
But what if I fail?
Princess CelestiaYou won't.
But, what if...?!
Princess CelestiaYou won't.
(Beat)
Princess CelestiaBut Twilight... In the end, it must be you, and you alone, who ultimately assists Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in doing what needs to be done to protect the Empire. Do you understand?
Mmm-hmm.
Princess CelestiaThen go. There is no time to lose.
[Twilight Sparkle opens a door at the bottom of the staircase with dark magic, revealing a negative vision of the future]
Princess CelestiaWhat are you doing here?
I don't know! I opened the door and-
Princess CelestiaAnd now you must go.
Go where?
Princess CelestiaDoesn't matter to me. You failed the test, Twilight!
[Twilight is horrified, commercial break]
I don't understand! The test-
Princess CelestiaNot only will you not move on to the next level of your studies, you won't continue your studies at all!
I... you didn't say anything about no longer being your student if I failed!
Princess CelestiaDidn't I? [walks away]
But... what do I do now?!
[She looks up and sees a stained glass window of Sombra's victory; she drops in sadness and cries.]
[voiceover] Twilight! Twilight?!
[In reality, Twilight is staring at the door hypnotized by Sombra's dark magic.]
Spike TWILIGHT! TWILIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!
[Twilight hears him and comes to her senses; he comes downstairs.]
[rapid fire] I know you told me to stay up there, but you were down here for such a long time and you weren't answering and I got worried, so I came down here, and you were just staring at that wall and... I was calling your name, but I couldn't seem to get your attention, and... What were you looking at? I mean, it's just a wall.
[The door's magic affects Spike]
Ponyville? Well, how did I get... No! I-I don't want to go! Please, Twilight! Don't make me!
[Twilight closes the door, snapping Spike out of it.]
King Sombra's dark magic. A doorway that leads to your worst fear.
We were home... you told me you didn't need me anymore. You were sending me away.
A fear that will never come to pass. I'm never gonna send you away. And I'm not gonna fail my test!
[She uses her own magic on the door, allowing them access through.]
Princess CelestiaIt's beautiful.
I wish it had been me who ultimately made it so. But it wasn't.
Princess CelestiaTwilight, as I understand it, Spike brought Princess Cadance the Crystal Heart, because you weren't sure how quickly you could find a way to escape from the tower. You weren't willing to risk the future of the citizens of the Crystal Empire in an effort to guarantee your own. Far better that I have a student who understands the meaning of self-sacrifice, than one who only looks out for her own best interests.
Does this mean...?!
[Celestia nods happily. Outside...]
She's totally gonna lose it! [breathes] Keep it together, Buddy. Gotta stay strong...for Twilight!
[Twilight throws the door open. After a pause...]
I...passed!!!
[The others cheer happily and Spike hugs Twilight.]
Princess CelestiaI'm fully aware that the last time Discord was here, he created serious havoc.
If by "serious havoc" you mean "turning Ponyville into the chaos capital of the world"...
...and tricking us all into being the opposite of our true selves...
And making yummy delicious chocolate milk rain all over the place without a single dollop of whipped cream to go with it anywhere in sight! Not a single dollop!
Hello? Where am I? What is this place?
Princess CelestiaCongratulations, Twilight. I knew you could do it.
Princess... I don't understand. What did I do?
Princess CelestiaYou did something today that's never been done before. Something even a great unicorn like Star Swirl the Bearded was not able to do, because he did not understand friendship like you do. The lessons you've learned here in Ponyville have taught you well. You have proven that you're ready, Twilight.
Ready? Ready for what?
