Introduction

Text on screen: When watching TV, be sure to do so in a lit room not too close to the TV.
Twilight: Here in the magical land of Equestria live ponies, unicorns, and pegasi.
It's a beautiful, magical land full of fun.
I--Twilight Sparkle--study magic in Canterlot, where Princess Celestia resides.
I've discovered something of grave significance.
At this rate, something very bad will befall Equestria!

Pinkie: What? What? What's going to happen?!
I can't wait to find out!

Twilight: And thus, {\i1}My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic{\i0} now starts!

Prologue

Narrator: This is a　story from long long ago in the magical land of Equestria.
Two unicorn sisters cooperated to govern Equestria.
The older sister used magic to raise the Sun into the sky and create the day.
While the younger sister moved the Moon and created the night.
Thus they happily worked together for the sake of the ponies who lived in the kingdom.

Narrator: However, unbeknownst to others, the younger sister had become lonesome.
While all the ponies frolicked and had fun together during the day,
they all slept during the night.

Narrator: One night, the younger sister refused to lower the Moon.
The older sister tried to persuade her, but unfortunately the malice in the younger sister's heart turned her into the evil pony Nightmare Moon.
"I will make this into the land of the night," the younger sister said.

Narrator: Thus, the older sister used the strongest magic in ponydom, the Elements of Harmony.
Using them, she magically sealed away the younger sister in the moon.

Narrator/Twilight: Then the older sister took charge of both the Sun and the Moon, and the land has been peaceful ever since.

Twilight: Hmm... The Elements of Harmony. I'm sure I've heard of those before, but where?
{OP}

Part 1: Twilight's Discovery

Title: Welcome to Ponyville

White pony: Twilight Sparkle!
Moon Dancer's having a party at the West Castle. You coming?

Twilight: Sorry, I've got some studying to do.

White pony: Is that all she's interested in?
She really does seem to love books more than friends.

Twilight: I'm certain I've heard of the Elements of Harmony somewhere before.
Spike! Spike!
Spike. There you are.
No. No. No. No, that's not it either... Spike!

Spike: Here you go.

Twilight: Ah!
Elements... Elements... E, e, e... There it is!
Elements of Harmony.
"See: Moon Pony"?

Spike: Moon Pony?
Isn't that just an old fairy tale?

Twilight: Moon.... moon... There we go.
Moon Pony. An ancient pony legend?
A powerful evil pony that was defeated by the magic of the Elements of Harmony, and sealed away in the Moon.
However, after a thousand years, on the eve of the Summer Solstice, she will break the seal and finally bring about the land of the night.
Spike! Do you know what this means?!

Spike: Nope.

Twilight: A letter to the Princess, please.

Spike: Okie dokie!

Twilight: My dearest Princess, in the course of my magical studies I have discovered something incredible.
A crisis is approaching for our land!

Spike: "Our ears are blocked..."?

Twilight: A crisis is...

Spike: "he he is..."

Twilight: A crisis is...
Something bad is about to happen!
I say this because the Moon Pony is none other than Nightmare Moon.
She will be revived and plans to create a land of night.
To keep that from happening, we must do something quickly!
I away your reply.
Your student, Twilight Sparkle.

Spike: "Twilight Sparkle." Finished!

Twilight: Very good. Send it off.

Spike: Now?

Twilight: Of course!

Spike: Really? The Princess is in the middle of preparations for the Summer Solstice Celebration.
That's the day after tomorrow, if I remember correctly.

Twilight: That's why it's so urgent.
The day after tomorrow is the thousandth Summer Solstice Celebration.
We should let the Princess know immediately!

Spike: "...know immediately."

Twilight: Send it off already!

Spike: Okay! I get it.
There, it's off.
I dunno if she'll respond, though.

Twilight: It'll be fine, Spike.
There's no need to worry. The Princess always trusts what I tell her.
See? Just like I said.

Spike: "To my dear Twilight Sparkle."
"I have the uttermost confidence in you."
"However, you can't just spend all your time reading books."

Part 2: Welcome to Ponyville

Spike: "Twilight Sparkle, there are things more important than studying."
"In that vein, I am sending you to supervise the preparations for the festival."
"The site for this year's festival is Ponyville."
"There's also one other thing that I would like you to do."
"And that is to make some friends."

Spike: This really isn't that bad.
And you get to live at the library. Aren't you happy about that?

Twilight: Yeah, I am happy. Because I'm right.
I just have to finish with the festival preparations and then I do more research on Nightmare Moon.

Spike: What about friends?
The Princess said so.

Twilight: Preparations for the festival come first.
I'd love to do what she said, but there's no time for making friends right now.

Spike: Here's one of the Ponyville ponies. Why not try talking to her?
You'll be fine, it's easy.

Twilight: Um, Hello.
Yeah.... {\i1}Really{\i0} easy.

Spike: Summer Solstice Celebration supervision checklist.
First, food preparations at Sweet Apple Acres.

Twilight: Let's get this over with.
Hello, I'm Twilight Sparkle.

Applejack: Hiya! Nice to meetcha! Always happy to make a new acquaintance.
I'm Applejack. And now that we've introduced ourselves, let's be friends.

Twilight: Friends? That's not what I came here for.

Applejack: Well then, what'd you come for?

Twilight: We've come to check on the preparations for the Summer Solstice Celebration.
You're in charge of the food, correct?

Applejack: Bingo! That's correct!
You wanna try some?

Twilight: Sure, just a little bit, though.

Applejack: Food's ready, everypony!
Now, let me introduce my family.

Twilight: Sorry, we've really gotta go...

Applejack: This is Apple Fritter...
Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple,
Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp,
Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith.
Wake up, Granny Smith, we have a visitor.

Granny Smith: Hmm? Oh, time to eat. Okay, I'm coming.
Hey everypony, we've got some new family here.

Twilight: Eh heh heh... Well, looks like the foods in great shape, so we're just going to head back now.

Apple Bloom: You're not gonna stay for lunch?

Twilight: Sorry, but I'm {\i1}really{\i0} busy right now.
Fine, I'll stay and eat.

Spike: Well, the food's perfect. Next is the weather.

Twilight: Ugh... I ate way too much pie.

Spike: There should be a pegasus around here keeping the sky clear by the name of Rainbow Dash.

Twilight: I don't see her. I she off slacking?

Rainbow: Uh... you okay?
Hang on!
Whoops, looks like I overdid it.
Well then, how about this?
My super special Rainbow Dry.
No need to thank me, it was nothing.

Twilight: I assume you're Rainbow Dash?

Rainbow: That's right. You got it.
You've heard of me?

Twilight: Yeah, I've heard you're keeping the sky clear.
I'm Twilight Sparkle. I've come to check up on the weather.

Rainbow: Clearing the sky's a breeze.
I can do it in the blink of an eye.
I'll do it after I finish practicing.

Twilight: Practicing for what?

Rainbow: For joining the Wonderbolts.
The've got a show tomorrow at the festival, and I'm gonna take their entrance exam.

Twilight: The Wonderbolts?

Rainbow: Yeah.

Twilight: That acrobatic team?

Rainbow: Exactly.

Twilight: You're kidding, right?
How do you expect to join them when you can't keep the sky clear for a single lousy day.

Rainbow: FYI, I can clear the sky in ten seconds flat.

Twilight: Prove it.

Rainbow: Like I said. Ten seconds flat.
Told ya I could clear it in the blink of an eye.
You should see your expression in a mirror.
You're funny. Let's hang out again later.

Spike: Whoa. She's pretty good.
Oh come on, you look cute like that.

Spike: The decorations are.... really pretty.

Twilight: True, they do look nice.
Let's hurry up and wrap this up, then head to the library.
They really are pretty, though.

Spike: I wasn't talking about the decorations.
I was talking about her.

Rarity: No. No. No.
Inconceivable.

Spike: Are my spines straight?

Twilight: Hello.

Rarity: Hang on a second. I'm in the middle of something important.
Ah, that's it!
That has the perfect shimmer!
Rarity, you truly are a genius.
Now then, what did you need?

Rarity: Oh my stars! What happened to your hair?

Twilight: My mane? It's a long story.
I'm just here to check on the decorations and then I'll be on my way.

Rarity: You're going to head back with your lovely mane like that?

Twilight: Wait a second! Where are you taking me? Help!

Rarity: No good. Uh-uh.
Too green.
Too yellow.
Too poofy.
Too plain.
Too frilly.
Too boring.
To continue our conversation, where did you say you were from, again?

Twilight: I've been sent here from Canterlot...

Rarity: Canterlot?!
Oh, I'm so jealous.
That's such a fashionable city.
I've always dreamed of living there.
Oh, won't you tell me all about Canterlot?
You and I are going to be the best of friends.
Emerald?! What was I thinking?
Let's try ruby instead.

Twilight: Let's get out of here before she dyes my coat another color!

Spike: She's such a wonderful girl...

Twilight: Please focus on our job here.
What's next?

Spike: Um, music.
This is the last one.

Fluttershy: Umm, umm... Stop for a second, everyone.
Sorry to bother you, but your rhythm was just a bit off.
Okay, let's continue.
A one... a two... a one, two, three...

Twilight: Hello!
Oh, sorry. Did I startle you?
I came to check on the music, but it's looking very good.
I'm Twilight Sparkle.
And you are?

Fluttershy: I'm Fluttershy.

Twilight: Could you say that again?

Fluttershy: I'm Fluttershy.

Twilight: What was that? I couldn't hear you.
Well, the birds are back; and it looks like preparations are right on target.
So, keep up the good work!
See you.

Twilight: That's over with.

Fluttershy: Ah! A baby dragon!
This is the first time I've seen a baby dragon.
He's {\i1}so{\i0} cute!

Spike: Well, well, well...

Fluttershy: He talks!
A dragon talking, that's incredible.
This is so amazing, I don't know who I could express it to.

Twilight: Well, we've got to get going now.

Fluttershy: Hey, wait a second.
What's your name?

Spike: I'm Spike.

Fluttershy: Hi Spike.
I'm Fluttershy.
A dragon that talks!
I want to know more about you.

Spike: What do you want to know?

Fluttershy: Everything, of course.

Spike: I started out as a small green and purple egg...
And that's everything from when I was born up through yesterday.
So, do you want to hear about today, now?

Fluttershy: Please, please do!

Twilight: Ah, sorry but it looks like we've arrived home.
This is our house, and my baby dragon is sleepy.

Spike: No I'm not!

Twilight: Oh dear. He's so sleepy he fell off.

Fluttershy: There, there.
I'll take you to your bed.

Twilight: That's okay. I'll do it. Good night.

Spike: Well, that was rude.

Twilight: Sorry.
But I've got to prove to the Princess that Nightmare Moon really is returning.
All these ponies trying to make friends are getting in the way of my studying.
Why's it so dark?

Ponies: Surprise!

Part 3: The Summer Solstice Celebration

Pinkie: Surprise!
Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!
It was my idea to have this party. Are you surprised?

Twilight: Yeah, I am.
You should be quiet in a library.

Pinkie: You're funny. What kind of party would it be if we were quiet?
A pointless one, that's what.
We met when you arrived here, right?
You said, "Hello," to me.
You remember?
I was like, "There's a pony I don't know," and I knew you had to be new because I know every pony in Ponyville.
And since you're new you don't know anyone or have any friends yet, right?
So you're probably pretty lonesome, right?
And sad along with that.
So then I got thinking...
And I hit upon the idea to have a party with every pony in town.
So now you can make lots of friends, right?

Applejack: What's wrong? Are you okay?

Pinkie: Aw, she's so touched that she's crying.

Spike: Hot sauce? Whoa...

Pinkie: What? It's good.

Spike: Hey, we're starting a game of "Pin the Tail on the Pony". Come play.

Twilight: I don't wanna.
All the ponies in this town are crazy.
What time do they think it is?

Spike: Tomorrow's the Summer Solstice Celebration.
We're all going to watch the Princess raise the sun.
Who needs sleep?
Come on and play with us Twilight. It's a party, after all.

Twilight: "Who needs Sleep? It's a party."
Geez, I thought I'd be able to research more about the Elements.
But, nope! No thanks to this party, I've been unable to do any studying here.

Pinkie: Hey, aren't you excited?
I'm excited! I'm super excited!
I was excited when I met you too.
I'm not gasping today though, but I'm even more excited.

Mayor: To this great assemblage of ponies, as your mayor I now pronounce the long-awaited beginning of the Summer Solstice Celebration!
In just a few moments, sun-raising magic will be used before our very eyes.
And then we will celebrate the longest day in the year.
Now then, for the introduction.
The ruler of our land, who unfailingly raises the sun and the moon each day.
A wise and regal pony, who rules Equestria in peace and harmony.

Fluttershy: Ready?

Mayor: Princess Celestia!

Twilight: Oh no.
It's Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare: Oh, my beloved subjects.
It's been quite some time.
I see that you continue to worship the sun.

Rainbow: What have you done with the Princess?!

Applejack: Whoa there.

Nightmare: Oh, you don't accept me as your ruler?
Then who am I?

Pinkie: Okay! I'll guess!
Umm... Hokey Smokes!
Or maybe Queen Meanie!
No... Black Snootie!

Nightmare: Due to being confined for a thousand years, do I no longer have the qualifications to be ruler?
Do you not know the legends?
Have you not seen the signs?

Twilight: I've seen them, and I know who you are.
The Moon Pony, Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare: Ah, very well. You are well informed.
Then what are my intentions?

Twilight: That's... that's... that's...

Nightmare: Today is the end.
You would do well to remember this.
From this moment on, the night will last forever!
