My Little Pony: Make Your Mark (2022) Movie Script
1
[birds chirping]
[chirping rapidly]
[tense music]
[wind howling]
Hmm Ahh!
[grunting]
[pony over radio] So did you
get it yet, Zipp?!
-Almost.
-[pony] Well, hurry up!
On it. Maximum sneaky engaged.
[footsteps approaching]
[tense music]
Hey, Mom.
[beeping]
[Zipp] Uh
Mission accomplished!
[pony] Good! Now fly fast!
-[chuckling]
-No problems with that!
You gotta let it go
You gotta let it shine
Oh, let's make our mark together
Just riding on forever
Just keeps on getting
Better, better, better
Every pony everywhere
You can feel it in the air
Find your spark
And just glow and shine
Make a mark that you can share
Hoof to heart you know we care
Oh ponies come on
Let's all unite
[pegasus] Ahh! Watch out!
[tense music]
[Zipp] Heads up, everypony!
I'm so sorry!
Thank you, Princess Zipp.
Zipp! Just call me Zipp.
And don't worry about it.
The magic from the Unity Crystals
in the Brighthouse
is new to all of us.
It takes practice!
[glitching]
Should I start now, or?
Ugh, where is she?!
I really wanted to use my--
Lucky microphone?
There she is!
What took you so long?!
Don't tell me you were sneaking
around the palace again.
[sighing]
You know you can just enter
through the main doors.
It's our house!
But if Mom knew I was there,
I'd get stuck doing one of her random
princess lessons.
Good point.
Okay, Sunny. Just remember,
pretend you're talking to us
and not like all of Equestria,
and you'll do great!
-Uh
-[Pipp] You're live now!
Like, now, now?
[Sunny] Uh
Hey, everypony!
I'm Sunny Starscout,
and I live here in Maretime Bay
with my friends!
[giggling]
A lot has changed around here
in the past few months!
Maretime Bay used to be the place
just us Earth Ponies live.
Just like how unicorns
always stayed in Bridlewood
and pegasi never left Zephyr Heights.
But when we found the three
Unity Crystals
and brought them back together,
it brought us back together!
All ponykinds were reunited
in friendship.
Now, any pony can live anywhere!
And
we have magic again!
Eee!
[Izzy] Doo-doo-doo!
Well, the unicorns and pegasi do!
[laughing]
Ta-da!
[gasps] Now you, Sunny.
Show everypony what you can do!
[Pipp] Ooh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Turn into an alicorn!
Eee! That's an Earth pony,
pegasus, and unicorn all-in-one!
Uh
[chuckling nervously]
You know it doesn't
really work like that, guys.
I can't just
Anyway, the point is,
magic powers or not,
I think everypony can agree
that our lives are way more magical
now that we're together again.
[singing] You know it!
Okay, Sunny. Do the thing!
Do you like super fun times?
Are you interested in learning more
about Earth Pony traditions
and tasting local treats?
Do you want see ponies
sing in a big concert?
Yes! You bet. And yes!
[scatting]
Then you should come to our annual
Maretime Bay Day Festival
for a day of fun in the sunshine!
It's going to be a blast!
And I'm not just talking about
the fireworks show!
[giggling]
All ponykinds are welcome!
Oh, oh! I love Maretime Bay Day!
You gotta come check it out!
The live Maretime music!
The sand castle contest!
The caramel Ponycorn!
Ahh! It's the best!
[slurping]
[chirping]
Hey! Give that back!
[gasps]
Hitch, my phone!
[tense music]
-[grunting]
-[shouting]
[bell dinging]
-Ahh!
-[gasping]
[bell dinging]
[grunting]
[thudding]
[Izzy] Got it!
[all laughing]
Oh! Hey, look! It's still on.
[laughing]
See you at the festival!
-[phone beeping]
-You okay, Izzy?
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah!
I mean, a little bit of ground glitter
never hurt anypony.
-[chuckling]
-Well, thank hoofness for magic!
Oh yeah!
Definitely!
Fo sho.
[Posey] Well I, for one, do not agree.
Is this about your flowers, Posey?
It was an accident,
but we'll fix them right away.
No!
What I meant was that I wish magic
had never come back!
And I'm not the only pony
around here who thinks so.
Uh, what do you mean?
You pegasi are always flying too fast!
O-or too low! Or too high up!
What's wrong with flying high up?
Ugh! I just don't like it, okay?!
And every time I'm at the market,
there's some smug unicorn
using their magic to shop.
[Posey] I almost got hit in the head
by a bag of floating apples yesterday!
Magic is not very safe.
At least not for the rest of us ponies
who don't have it.
Right, Sheriff Hitch?
Uh I don't know if I would say that.
[grumbling]
Everypony is just
still learning how to use it.
That's all. Magic takes practice!
Hmm! Then they should do it somewhere
else other than my garden!
[birds chirping]
Okay, wow!
She was really nice, right guys?
[humming]
Oh! Come on, Sunny! Let's go home.
Don't worry, Posey.
I'm gonna find a way to show you
and everypony else
just how awesome magic can be.
[bright music]
Pipp! Pipp! Pipp! I want
to show you something!
[Pipp humming]
So, what did you want to show me?
Well, I don't know if you noticed,
but I consider myself
a bit of an artist.
Of course I noticed!
All of this beautiful stuff
was made by you!
You're so creative, Izzy.
And you're amaze at making
new things out of old things.
[gasps] What do you call it again?
Oh, yeah, Unicycling!
Unicycling! Yes, yes, that's it!
So, the other day,
when I was searching for my box
of googly eyes in the basement,
-I found this!
-[Pipp gasping]
Is that Sunny's old lantern?
[Izzy] Well, her dad made it for her
when she was a filly!
So I thought
[gasps] That you'd fix it up for her
as a Maretime Bay Day present?!
Yup! But shh!
It has to be a surprise! Sorry.
Eee! I love surprises!
Your secret is safe with me.
[both] Hoof to heart!
[upbeat music playing]
-Ugh
-[Pipp] Zipp!
Zipp! Zipp!
Huh?
I have been asking you if you want
extra cheese on your pizza
for like 10 minutes!
What's up with you?
Oh, sorry.
Just thinking about something weird
that happened earlier.
The thing with Posey?
Oh, uhYeah! That!
Same here!
How could she not love magic?
[Hitch] Earth Ponies have never had
magic before.
Maybe Posey's jealous.
-Jealous?
-I know I am.
Magic seems a little scary,
but it would be pretty cool
to be able to levitate things.
Like this?!
Ooh! Haha!
Whoa. Whoops!
-[others laughing]
-Mmm! Worth it!
Ah, you're right, Hitch.
That is so much better than flying.
So, have you figured out
the whole magical wings
and horn appearing
atrandom times thing yet?
No, and it's been getting worse.
[birds chirping]
[explosion]
[gasping]
Uh Whoa!
-[shouting]
-[thudding]
[crashing]
[groaning]
Maybe Posey has a point.
Magic is unpredictable.
Hmm.
[timer dinging]
It may be unpredictable,
but it's not dangerous!
We just need to show
the Earth Ponies
that magic is nothing to be afraid of.
It makes Equestria a-a better place.
And it's fun!
Wow! Are you ponies thinking
what I'm thinking?!
I think I might be!
Alright, everypony.
On the count of three.
One two three.
Floating parade! Right?
Not exactly, but close!
We're going to use Maretime Bay Day
as our chance to show off
all the amazing things magic can do!
Then everypony will remember
just how special it is
that we have friendship and magic
in our lives again.
Are you ponies in?
Yeah!
Definitely, definitely!
-I'm in!
-[phone ringing]
Ugh.
Zephyrina? Are you there?!
He-hello?! I can't see you.
Hi, Mom.
[chuckling]
Oh, there you are.
It's been ages since I've seen my fillies!
-[Cloudpuff barks]
-At least Pipp answers her phone
when I call her. You never do!
And you haven't visited
Zephyr Heights at all!
Nope, you're right!
I definitely have not been
to Zephyr Heights.
Well, it's not like you
can't fly now, darling.
Oh! Cloudpuff wants to say hi!
Who's Mommy's little baby?
You are!
You were saying?
-Oh, it was just--
-[Queen Haven] Listen, Zipp, dear.
I called because I'm going to need you
to move back home, okay?
What?! No! No way!
I know you've had fun
with your new friends and all,
but you're a princess, darling.
You're going to be Queen one day!
I know. What about Pipp, though?
Well your sister has
her little salon project,
and while I do like the idea
of you being there
to keep an eye on her, let's face it,
she livestreams everything,
so that's not really necessary.
You're the one I need here,
studying my every move
and representing the royal family!
But I'm not sure if I'm ready
to leave just yet.
And why wouldn't you be?
Um
There's a festival soon?
Hmm. I do suppose festival planning
does count as a useful skill
for your future on the throne.
As Queen, you'll be responsible
for arranging state dinners,
teas, parties
Uh. Oh!
[Zipp mimicking static]
You're! Breaking! Up!
[mimicking static]
[phone beeps]
Ugh.
[sighing]
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
It's just that I love it here
in Maretime Bay so much.
I don't want to leave yet.
Leave?
Go back to Zephyr Heights.
But you just got here!
I know. I'm not ready
to become a full-time,
heir-to-the-throne princess yet.
Not the way my mom
expects me to be, anyway.
But
I'm not sure if I fit in here either.
Of course you do!
Even if all I do is fly around
and try out new moves?
It's what you love to do!
As Izzy would say
[high-pitched] It makes your sparkle
shine really bright!
I don't know.
Maybe my mom is right.
Maybe I should just go back
to Zephyr Heights
and really try to be
the kind of princess
everypony is hoping for.
[sighing]
I'm going to have to do it someday.
At least stay until Maretime Bay Day.
Then you can decide.
Okay, yeah.
I guess I can't miss that.
Now, come on!
We have a festival to plan
and it needs your magic, too!
[wind howling]
[glitching]
[shouting]
[gasps] That's not good.
Weird.
[sighing]
[glitching]
Ribbon Wreaths are the traditional
decoration of Maretime Bay Day.
We hang them on our front doors,
on Mane Street, everywhere!
Cute!
[coughing]
A little dusty, but cute.
[gasps] I once made a wreath
out of old teaspoons!
Loving that idea, Izzy.
[gasps]
Maybe we can add some unicorn
and pegasus flair to these ones, too.
[gasps]
[clattering]
Now where did I leave
my suitcase full of glitter?
Uh, anypony seen Zipp?
[Zipp] What's with all the spoons?
Oh, we're unicycling
these old decorations!
Do you want to try?
Uhh Decorating things
isn't really my strong point.
We could do something else!
What about baking Bay Day treats?
I'm not very good at baking either.
Or write a song for the big concert!
Ooh! Zipp, you used to love
writing song lyrics with me!
I don't think so.
Oh, wait! I'm sure we can find
something that you'd like to do!
Uh, maybe later! Bye!
[Hitch] Good Morning, station!
Sheriff Hitch here, reporting for duty.
At ease, deputies!
So, what do you say?
[singing] Which Sheriff-y things
should we do today in Maretime Bay?
Hey, hey, hey!
[Zipp] Oof. Are you trying to rhyme?
Oh, hey, Zipp.
Yeah! What did you think?
-Way too much.
-[Hitch] Cool, cool.
Just trying something out. Didn't work.
Good feedback!
[clears throat]
So, what can I do for you?
I came by because, well
Have you seen anything strange lately?
Strange? What do you mean?
Well, I was on the balcony earlier when
You know what?
It was probably nothing. Forget it.
[chuckling nervously]
Wait! I know what this is about.
-You do?
-[Hitch] Yup. Mm-hmm.
You're bored!
But you don't have to be shy. We're pals!
We can totally hang out! I know,
let's order fries
from three different diners
and then decide which ones are the best!
[gasps] Or maybe a puzzle!
[phone ringing]
A call?!
[clears throat]
Sheriff Station.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I see.
Really? How strange! At the beach?
Well, I'll be right there!
It appears we have a code 8-18
at the beach.
Want to come on a trot-along
with me, Zipp?
And I'm talking to nopony.
[crab claws clicking]
-[birds squawking]
-[pegasus giggling]
Hmm. Looks normal to me.
[Earth pony] What do you mean
something strange happened?!
You did it on purpose!
-I did not!
-I saw you use your magic
to drop your umbrella onto my sand castle!
I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
I was carrying it,
and then my magic just went away!
I don't believe you!
But I'm telling the truth!
[clears throat]
Is everypony okay over here?
Sheriff Hitch! I promise I didn't mean
to ruin anything. My magic
[Earth pony] I worked
on that castle all day!
-[phone ringing]
-Ahh! Ha!
[phone ringing and buzzing]
Argh!
[phone beeps]
-[phone beeps]
-Thursday. Noon. Beach.
Second magical mishap, levitation glitch.
Unicorn drops umbrella.
Lots of upset ponies. Very strange.
Must investigate further.
[glitching]
Oh, no. Please, no!
[glitching]
[glitching]
[gasping]
Ha-ha!
[bright music]
Zipp! There you are!
Oh, hey! Coming to town with
us to gather more supplies
for the new-and-improved Maretime Bay Day?
Oh. Wish I could, but--
Why can't you, exactly?
Because
I'm working on my own
surprise thing for Bay Day. Yeah!
Have fun!
[tense music]
[phone beeps]
Thursday, 12:15.
Crystals, normal. Prisbeam energy, intact.
[sighing]
[Hitch] Okay.
Tell me what happened.
One at a time.
She tried to sabotage my sand castle!
No, I didn't! My magic was just gone!
Okay, okay. Everypony just--
Magic shouldn't be allowed
here on the beach!
[young pegasus] Is magic allowed
on the beach, Sheriff Hitch?
Oh. Uh
It's not, not allowed?
You know, actually, maybe I should go back
to the station and check the records
to see what I can dig up! Yeah!
You ponies just hang tight
and I'll get back to you.
[birds squawking]
Huh
You don't belong here, do you?
I've never seen an egg like this.
-Have you?
-[birds chirping]
What in Equestria are you?
Oh!
[grunting]
I'll take care of you, little one.
[Earth pony] You did it on purpose!
[unicorn] I would never
do that on purpose!
That's better.
All roasty and toasty.
I'll just keep you safe here
until we can find who you belong to, okay?
[Posey] Sheriff Hitch?
[chuckling nervously]
Who were you just talking to?
Nopony! Nopony at all!
How can I help you, Posey?
I was just trotting down Mane Street
when I noticed that my hooves
were stuck to the sidewalk!
I tried and tried to move, but I couldn't
for like a really long time!
I think somepony's pranking me.
Probably one of those unicorns.
I'd like to file a complaint!
Okay! The complaint box
is over there on the wall.
Well, I'd prefer if you
took it down yourself.
I would, but I'm late for
an important meeting at the Brighthouse.
Duty calls!
Keep an eye on that egg for me,
would you, Deputy?
[chirping]
[laughing]
[bright music]
Maretime Bay Day is going to be
great with these treats!
How could it not?
We've literally thought of everything!
And I've been working
on the all new anthem
[sing-songy] for Maretime Bay Day! Woo!
[normally] You want to hear it?
Too late! Doing it anyway!
[clears throat]
A-five, six, seven, eight!
Maretime Bay
[vocalizing]
Yeah! Hey! Hey! And then it's like
Something about the sunshine and sea
And then it's like
Something, something, something
Something, something
Then something,
something, something
Uh Yeah. I don't like it.
I love it! What?!
-[door opening]
-[Hitch humming]
Catchy!
Hmm, something, something!
Yup. Very catchy. She's good.
[timer dinging]
Mmm!
Miniature Glimmerberry tarts!
-Great idea, Izzy.
-[Izzy giggling]
[Izzy] Oh, ta-da!
Ooh, now they're a true work of "tart".
Mmm. But how do you make them
taste like magic?
The secret ingredient
[whispering] Magic!
We have to make Cloud Candy next!
It's Zipp's favorite!
Um, where is she, by the way?
[uncertain grunts]
Hour five. Still nothing.
Hour five and one minute. Still nothing.
[sighs] Maybe I was wrong.
Maybe there's no pattern to it.
Just a glitch.
Ugh.
What in the wing feathers?
[giggling]
[resonating]
Ah!
[whooshing]
Whoa.
I don't believe this.
[hooves clopping]
Everypony, quick! Come upstairs!
You have got to see this!
-There you are!
-What happened?!
Just hurry!
Wow!
What are we looking at?
There were all these vines
growing on the wall!
And they were glowing!
Glowing vines?
Okay.
I have a confession.
I've been monitoring the crystals,
and I think something is wrong with them.
What? No, there isn't!
None of you have noticed that magic
seems kinda weird lately?
Like it keeps switching off, or something.
Hmm Nope!
-[Pipp] Me neither
-Really?
-[phone chimes]
-Sorry, Sis.
Hitch?
I saw what happened at the beach
the other day! Didn't you take--
What? I didn't take anything at the beach!
down a report?
Oh. Right. A report.
Actually, that reminds me,
gotta go file that report!
Hey, you wait a second!
You were gonna teach us how to make
life-sized gummy bunnies!
I know it sounds weird,
but I know what I saw!
And what I've been seeing.
Like the other day, when I was flying
back from Zephyr Heights,
these two pegasi crashed
into each other and I think it--
I'm sorry, Zipp.
I've been so caught up
in all the festival planning.
This is all my fault.
That magic is glitching?
Uh, magic is not glitching.
But you said it yourself.
Your alicorn magic
keeps appearing randomly!
You don't find that strange at all?!
No, I-I think that's just
because I'm still learning.
We all are!
[chirping]
-Ugh! Report.
-[phone beeps]
Nothing new to report.
No more signs of mysterious
glowing vines or crystal glitches.
[phone ringing]
Ugh!
-[Zipp] Hi, Mom.
-Zipp! There you are.
Have you been ignoring my calls,
young filly?
No, no. Just busy, Mom!
I'm actually helping Sunny
with decorations right now,
so I gotta go.
[chuckling]
[Queen Haven] Well, I can't
wait to see them!
See what?
The decorations!
Oh, didn't Pipp tell you?
I'll be attending
this Maretime Bay Day festival.
You will? Why?!
[barking]
Yes, it is treat time!
I know, I know!
See you there, darling!
Come on!
There's gotta be something.
[laughing]
[bell dinging]
[Zipp] Everything on Mane Street
appears normal.
Huh?
Hmm except that.
Huh.
Here you go, little one.
I brought you some sand
to make you more comfortable.
I thought maybe you'd like that.
[Hitch] Lookin' rosy and cozy!
Now, who wants to hear a story?
-[Zipp] I do!
-Ahh! Zipp!
Wow, you are sneaky!
What are you doing here?
I had an instinct, so I followed it.
And I was right.
You have been hiding something!
-Hey!
-Woo! Haha!
So, uh what is it?
No clue. I saw it on the beach
and I just knew it needed help. I just--
Had an instinct and followed it?
Yeah.
Hey, uh would you mind
keeping this between us for now?
Sure, I can Zipp it.
What?
So you gonna read us
that story now, or what?
-[claws clicking]
-[chirping]
[phone chimes]
[chiming]
Oh, no.
We rushed right here!
So what's the emergency?
Well, everypony seems
really stressy lately.
We clearly need a break,
and luckily, I know just the place.
I planned a surprise for you!
You're welcome!
Ooh!
Please don't let it be makeovers,
please don't let it be makeovers.
I knew it.
But this is so relaxing!
And informative!
Did you ponies know that there
are over a thousand different
kinds of hermit crabs?!
Cause I did not!
[Hitch] Sorry, Jazz.
[Hitch laughing]
I'm so sorry!
So ticklish!
[laughing]
Don't you ponies love it
here at Mane Melody?
-Yeah-huh!
-Mm-hmm!
What's wrong, Zipp?
Not a fan of Mane Melody?
No, no. It's awesome.
Pipp has done a great job here.
[gasps] You really think so?
Yeah, I do.
And hey, I'm sorry if I haven't been
helping out.
My mind's just on other things.
Like the crystals?
Something weird is going on.
Ugh, you worry too, too much.
But if something happens
to those crystals,
we'll lose magic again for good!
-Then it'll be no more flying and--
-[Pipp] Sis, sis, sis, sis, sis, sis.
You need to chill!
Nothing is going to happen.
[whistling]
We've got our friends back,
we've got magic back,
and we've got
[all singing] Music!
At Mane Melody
We sing!
While we style!
[all] Pipp, Pipp, hooray!
This one goes out
to my paranoid big sis, Zipp!
[upbeat music playing]
I know you're feeling like
there's something wrong
But don't you worry,
I have just the song for you
[giggling]
So kick those hooves up
in this comfy chair
And you'll forget about
those cares in a minute or two
Yeah
That's what you'll do
You've got a lot on your mane
and that's kind of tragic
But with a little bit of caring
and a touch of magic
You'll feel brand new
And you'll forget
what's been troubling you
So put your hooves up high
'Cause we're feeling alright hey!
Every day is awesome
in the Maretime Bay
So put your hooves up,
put your hooves up yeah!
Everything is gonna be okay
You don't get it, do you?
We can't just sing a song
and ignore everything.
If we lose magic this time,
we may never get it back again!
And it'll be our fault.
[Izzy] What's she talking about?!
[Sunny] Lose magic?
Whose fault?
[thudding]
-[ponies groaning]
-[Pipp gasps]
Are you ponies okay?
[groaning]
What happened, Windy?
I I don't know!
I was just flying along,
and the next thing I knew,
I was down here on the ground!
Yeah, me too!
Because you fell on us!
Ugh, I'm so sorry, everypony.
I'm normally such a good flier!
[Posey] Clearly she's not!
This is what I've been saying!
What everypony's been thinking!
If pegasi and unicorns
can't be respectful,
then they shouldn't be allowed
to use their magic
in Maretime Bay!
She's right.
I'm not sure.
Yeah! No more magic!
It isn't fair.
We Earth Ponies don't get any magic,
and then the ponies that do have it
don't even know how to use it!
Or they use it to prank us.
-Yeah, Posey's right!
-I agree!
Everypony, wait!
And now, they want to ruin
our special Earth Pony holiday, too!
That's not true!
We want it to be the best day ever!
[Diggy] Well, then Maretime Bay Day
should be magic-free!
Like it's always been!
-A no-fly zone!
-Or we're not coming!
[thunder booming]
I think I finally know
what's happening to magic,
why it's glitching!
You do?
It's the crystals! They might be
powered by ponies!
What?!
Okay, check this out.
Pipp, when we were fillies,
I used to steal Mom's
chocolate-dipped cherries
and blame it on you!
[gasping]
I knew it!
You got me grounded like 12 times!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And guess what?
I don't like karaoke! It's the worst! Ugh!
-[Pipp gasping]
-Hey. you take that back!
Karaoke is a fun activity
for every age and skill level!
Zipp's allowed to like what she likes.
Just because we enjoy something,
doesn't mean she has to!
Sunny, there's no need to get
all huffy about it.
Izzy was just trying to stand up for Pipp!
-Don't call me huffy!
-Ugh! I didn't call you huffy,
I said you were being huffy!
There's a difference!
And whoa!
[glitching]
You you were right!
So when ponies aren't
treating each other with kindness
When we aren't vibing
The crystals get weaker.
And the more unstable
magic becomes in Equestria!
Which causes pegasi to lose
their flight and fall on other ponies!
And unicorns to drop
stuff onto sand castles.
And weather changes
[gasps] Like a rando thunderstorm?
Yup! Everything is all out of whack!
I wonder if this had anything to do
with why the crystals were separated
all those years ago.
Ugh, or why I still can't seem
to figure out my alicorn magic.
I don't know. I want to find out.
But if we want to keep magic
in Equestria,
first, we need to get everypony
back on the same page.
Zipp's right. We can't give up.
We can still make Bay Day
the celebration it's supposed to be.
A day of friendship!
[sing-songy] And harmony!
-[others] Yeah!
-Let's do it!
[all] Hoof to heart.
[gasps] It's here!
[scatting]
-The big day is here!
-[yawning]
The big day is here!
[yawning]
[sighing]
Don't worry, I got you.
Sunny, Sunny, wait!
Happy Maretime Bay Day.
We don't usually exchange gifts.
I know, but just open it!
It's it's the lantern my dad
made for me.
I thought it was beyond repair!
Thank you so much, Izzy.
Sometimes, when you add
a little bit of magic,
you can fix anything.
You're right! Now let's go add
some magic to today and fix this.
Mm-hmm!
-[party horns blowing]
-[whistling]
[upbeat music playing]
Oh, look, look, look!
Ponies showed up after all!
And there's the queen!
-[trumpeting fanfare]
-[crowd cheering]
Hello, Your Majesticness!
[gasps] Mom!
Happy Maretime Bay Day, everypony!
Welcome!
So far, so good.
Now we just gotta keep it up.
[Dahlia] Spoons in the wreaths?
Ugh, yuck!
I liked the old decorations better.
I could not agree more!
Oh!
Ooh! Oh!
Ooh!
Wow!
[trumpeting fanfare]
[crowd muttering]
-[Posey's friend 1] Ahem!
-[Posey's friend 2] Hey!
Pegasi have an unfair advantage!
[indistinct arguing]
[thunder booming]
Hmm
[upbeat music playing]
Boss ice cream. Blegh!
-Argh!
-Ew!
Waste not, want not!
Ahh! Huh?
Oh, no!
[grunting]
My wings won't work!
Neither will my hooves!
-[pony] Help!
-Our hooves are stuck!
What's going on?!
The glitches, they're getting worse.
[thunder booming]
Are you sure you want to do this?
Nothing has gone to plan today.
I have to give it my best shot!
We still need all
the positivity we can get, right?
Maybe this will help.
[gasps] My lucky mic!
Okay!
[singing vocal warm-ups]
[blowing raspberry]
Yes, we're ready!
Alright. Showtime!
Break a hoof, Pipp! But not really!
Actually, be really careful!
Everypony please welcome pop star,
Princess Pipp Petals,
to sing the brand new
Maretime Bay Day song!
-New song?
-What?
That's my daughter!
[Dahlia] We want to hear the real
Maretime Bay song,
sung by an Earth Pony!
-[pony] This isn't right!
-[overlapping arguments]
Hey! Be nice! Sheriff's orders!
Are you on their side?!
There are no sides!
[tense music]
We know that magic returning
hasn't been easy for everypony,
that Equestria is really different,
but that's a good thing!
It's so much better now that--
Whoa! No, no, no!
The magic! It's dying!
[gasps] Eggie!
What is that thing?!
It's some sort of void!
Everypony, get back!
[screaming]
[grunting]
But we're stuck!
-Let us go!
-It's not us!
[grunting]
Can't you ponies with magic
do something?!
Ugh! Our magic isn't working!
Ah! I do not like this! No, I do not!
[grunting]
[shouting]
Posey! Windy! No!
Come on, alicorn magic! Work!
But the magic! I-It's gone!
Then I'll have to try without it!
I'm going in.
Not without us!
[Zipp] That's it!
The magic will come back to us
if we can work together!
Come on, unicorns! Come on, pegasi!
Help the Earth Ponies!
[grunting]
[grunting]
It's working!
You got this, Sunny!
It's too dark in there! Take this!
[tense music]
[screaming]
[grunting]
Sunny?
[bright music]
[laughing]
That tickles!
-[chirping]
-[crab claws clicking]
I know, I know! I totally agree
with everything you guys are saying.
Did you just talk?!
Did I just understand you? What?!
[chirping]
Wow, that's a lot of information.
Well, nice to meet you, Kenneth.
I'm Hitch!
[chirping]
Flower power?!
Earth Pony magic?!
But that's never happened before!
When we work together,
maybe we can invent new magic.
You're right, Zipp.
Actually, you were right about everything.
I'm sorry I didn't believe you.
I should have been a better friend
and listened.
I was just so focused
on hoping magic was okay
that I lost sight of everything else.
Can you forgive me?
[chuckling]
Obviously.
[laughing]
[Queen Haven] Zephyrina! There you are!
My hoofness, what an ordeal!
Gather your things.
We need to hit the sky
if we're going to make it back
to the palace by sundown.
Mom! I'm not going back with you.
We agreed that you were
to resume your studies.
My place is here in Maretime Bay
with my friends.
I just need more time
to figure things out.
To investigate magic!
To explore who I am
before I take on my royal duty.
And you know what?
I think who I am
is somepony who likes figuring things out.
Yes, you certainly are,
my little princess investigator.
Mom? Would you do me a favour?
Anything, darling.
Would you mind just calling me
Zipp for now?
[Queen Haven] Of course, Zipp.
[barking]
-I'm sorry, it's a what?
-[barking]
[Hitch] A dragon?
But dragons haven't been seen
in Equestria for generations!
[cooing]
-He's so cute!
-Adorbs!
[cooing]
Hey, everypony.
I just wanted to say
I'm sorry for the way I acted.
I think I just felt
Left out?
Yeah! Exactly.
We'll make sure that doesn't
happen again. Right, guys?
-Yeah!
-Of course!
Pipp? Would you mind
singing your new Maritime Bay song?
I will, on one condition,
if you'll sing it with me!
I'll do the harmony!
[soft music]
[alicorn] Ha. Those little ponies
finally figured how
to stabilize the magic.
Took them long enough.
And now that they have,
it's time to take back what is mine!
[laughing]
[Izzy] It looks brilliant!
You think so?
We're so glad you're staying
in Maretime Bay, Detective Zipp!
Me too.
We have a lot to learn about magic
and how it works.
I'm just glad I'll be here
to figure it out with my best friends.
Well, I definitely still have
a lot of questions.
Like why does my alicorn magic disappear?
Yeah! Like why do I now
have the magical power
to understand every animal
except for this adorable baby dragon?
-[dragon cooing]
-Ow, ow, ow.
[Zipp] Or
where did magic come from?
Who made the crystals, anyway?
And how did they get separated?
Why didn't Earth Ponies
have magic before?!
Well, at least we already
know one thing for sure.
[Izzy gasps]
What's that?
No matter what lies ahead,
we'll face it together!
[all cheering]
[bright music]
[upbeat music]
[birds chirping]
[chirping rapidly]
[tense music]
[wind howling]
Hmm Ahh!
[grunting]
[pony over radio] So did you
get it yet, Zipp?!
-Almost.
-[pony] Well, hurry up!
On it. Maximum sneaky engaged.
[footsteps approaching]
[tense music]
Hey, Mom.
[beeping]
[Zipp] Uh
Mission accomplished!
[pony] Good! Now fly fast!
-[chuckling]
-No problems with that!
You gotta let it go
You gotta let it shine
Oh, let's make our mark together
Just riding on forever
Just keeps on getting
Better, better, better
Every pony everywhere
You can feel it in the air
Find your spark
And just glow and shine
Make a mark that you can share
Hoof to heart you know we care
Oh ponies come on
Let's all unite
[pegasus] Ahh! Watch out!
[tense music]
[Zipp] Heads up, everypony!
I'm so sorry!
Thank you, Princess Zipp.
Zipp! Just call me Zipp.
And don't worry about it.
The magic from the Unity Crystals
in the Brighthouse
is new to all of us.
It takes practice!
[glitching]
Should I start now, or?
Ugh, where is she?!
I really wanted to use my--
Lucky microphone?
There she is!
What took you so long?!
Don't tell me you were sneaking
around the palace again.
[sighing]
You know you can just enter
through the main doors.
It's our house!
But if Mom knew I was there,
I'd get stuck doing one of her random
princess lessons.
Good point.
Okay, Sunny. Just remember,
pretend you're talking to us
and not like all of Equestria,
and you'll do great!
-Uh
-[Pipp] You're live now!
Like, now, now?
[Sunny] Uh
Hey, everypony!
I'm Sunny Starscout,
and I live here in Maretime Bay
with my friends!
[giggling]
A lot has changed around here
in the past few months!
Maretime Bay used to be the place
just us Earth Ponies live.
Just like how unicorns
always stayed in Bridlewood
and pegasi never left Zephyr Heights.
But when we found the three
Unity Crystals
and brought them back together,
it brought us back together!
All ponykinds were reunited
in friendship.
Now, any pony can live anywhere!
And
we have magic again!
Eee!
[Izzy] Doo-doo-doo!
Well, the unicorns and pegasi do!
[laughing]
Ta-da!
[gasps] Now you, Sunny.
Show everypony what you can do!
[Pipp] Ooh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Turn into an alicorn!
Eee! That's an Earth pony,
pegasus, and unicorn all-in-one!
Uh
[chuckling nervously]
You know it doesn't
really work like that, guys.
I can't just
Anyway, the point is,
magic powers or not,
I think everypony can agree
that our lives are way more magical
now that we're together again.
[singing] You know it!
Okay, Sunny. Do the thing!
Do you like super fun times?
Are you interested in learning more
about Earth Pony traditions
and tasting local treats?
Do you want see ponies
sing in a big concert?
Yes! You bet. And yes!
[scatting]
Then you should come to our annual
Maretime Bay Day Festival
for a day of fun in the sunshine!
It's going to be a blast!
And I'm not just talking about
the fireworks show!
[giggling]
All ponykinds are welcome!
Oh, oh! I love Maretime Bay Day!
You gotta come check it out!
The live Maretime music!
The sand castle contest!
The caramel Ponycorn!
Ahh! It's the best!
[slurping]
[chirping]
Hey! Give that back!
[gasps]
Hitch, my phone!
[tense music]
-[grunting]
-[shouting]
[bell dinging]
-Ahh!
-[gasping]
[bell dinging]
[grunting]
[thudding]
[Izzy] Got it!
[all laughing]
Oh! Hey, look! It's still on.
[laughing]
See you at the festival!
-[phone beeping]
-You okay, Izzy?
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah!
I mean, a little bit of ground glitter
never hurt anypony.
-[chuckling]
-Well, thank hoofness for magic!
Oh yeah!
Definitely!
Fo sho.
[Posey] Well I, for one, do not agree.
Is this about your flowers, Posey?
It was an accident,
but we'll fix them right away.
No!
What I meant was that I wish magic
had never come back!
And I'm not the only pony
around here who thinks so.
Uh, what do you mean?
You pegasi are always flying too fast!
O-or too low! Or too high up!
What's wrong with flying high up?
Ugh! I just don't like it, okay?!
And every time I'm at the market,
there's some smug unicorn
using their magic to shop.
[Posey] I almost got hit in the head
by a bag of floating apples yesterday!
Magic is not very safe.
At least not for the rest of us ponies
who don't have it.
Right, Sheriff Hitch?
Uh I don't know if I would say that.
[grumbling]
Everypony is just
still learning how to use it.
That's all. Magic takes practice!
Hmm! Then they should do it somewhere
else other than my garden!
[birds chirping]
Okay, wow!
She was really nice, right guys?
[humming]
Oh! Come on, Sunny! Let's go home.
Don't worry, Posey.
I'm gonna find a way to show you
and everypony else
just how awesome magic can be.
[bright music]
Pipp! Pipp! Pipp! I want
to show you something!
[Pipp humming]
So, what did you want to show me?
Well, I don't know if you noticed,
but I consider myself
a bit of an artist.
Of course I noticed!
All of this beautiful stuff
was made by you!
You're so creative, Izzy.
And you're amaze at making
new things out of old things.
[gasps] What do you call it again?
Oh, yeah, Unicycling!
Unicycling! Yes, yes, that's it!
So, the other day,
when I was searching for my box
of googly eyes in the basement,
-I found this!
-[Pipp gasping]
Is that Sunny's old lantern?
[Izzy] Well, her dad made it for her
when she was a filly!
So I thought
[gasps] That you'd fix it up for her
as a Maretime Bay Day present?!
Yup! But shh!
It has to be a surprise! Sorry.
Eee! I love surprises!
Your secret is safe with me.
[both] Hoof to heart!
[upbeat music playing]
-Ugh
-[Pipp] Zipp!
Zipp! Zipp!
Huh?
I have been asking you if you want
extra cheese on your pizza
for like 10 minutes!
What's up with you?
Oh, sorry.
Just thinking about something weird
that happened earlier.
The thing with Posey?
Oh, uhYeah! That!
Same here!
How could she not love magic?
[Hitch] Earth Ponies have never had
magic before.
Maybe Posey's jealous.
-Jealous?
-I know I am.
Magic seems a little scary,
but it would be pretty cool
to be able to levitate things.
Like this?!
Ooh! Haha!
Whoa. Whoops!
-[others laughing]
-Mmm! Worth it!
Ah, you're right, Hitch.
That is so much better than flying.
So, have you figured out
the whole magical wings
and horn appearing
atrandom times thing yet?
No, and it's been getting worse.
[birds chirping]
[explosion]
[gasping]
Uh Whoa!
-[shouting]
-[thudding]
[crashing]
[groaning]
Maybe Posey has a point.
Magic is unpredictable.
Hmm.
[timer dinging]
It may be unpredictable,
but it's not dangerous!
We just need to show
the Earth Ponies
that magic is nothing to be afraid of.
It makes Equestria a-a better place.
And it's fun!
Wow! Are you ponies thinking
what I'm thinking?!
I think I might be!
Alright, everypony.
On the count of three.
One two three.
Floating parade! Right?
Not exactly, but close!
We're going to use Maretime Bay Day
as our chance to show off
all the amazing things magic can do!
Then everypony will remember
just how special it is
that we have friendship and magic
in our lives again.
Are you ponies in?
Yeah!
Definitely, definitely!
-I'm in!
-[phone ringing]
Ugh.
Zephyrina? Are you there?!
He-hello?! I can't see you.
Hi, Mom.
[chuckling]
Oh, there you are.
It's been ages since I've seen my fillies!
-[Cloudpuff barks]
-At least Pipp answers her phone
when I call her. You never do!
And you haven't visited
Zephyr Heights at all!
Nope, you're right!
I definitely have not been
to Zephyr Heights.
Well, it's not like you
can't fly now, darling.
Oh! Cloudpuff wants to say hi!
Who's Mommy's little baby?
You are!
You were saying?
-Oh, it was just--
-[Queen Haven] Listen, Zipp, dear.
I called because I'm going to need you
to move back home, okay?
What?! No! No way!
I know you've had fun
with your new friends and all,
but you're a princess, darling.
You're going to be Queen one day!
I know. What about Pipp, though?
Well your sister has
her little salon project,
and while I do like the idea
of you being there
to keep an eye on her, let's face it,
she livestreams everything,
so that's not really necessary.
You're the one I need here,
studying my every move
and representing the royal family!
But I'm not sure if I'm ready
to leave just yet.
And why wouldn't you be?
Um
There's a festival soon?
Hmm. I do suppose festival planning
does count as a useful skill
for your future on the throne.
As Queen, you'll be responsible
for arranging state dinners,
teas, parties
Uh. Oh!
[Zipp mimicking static]
You're! Breaking! Up!
[mimicking static]
[phone beeps]
Ugh.
[sighing]
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
It's just that I love it here
in Maretime Bay so much.
I don't want to leave yet.
Leave?
Go back to Zephyr Heights.
But you just got here!
I know. I'm not ready
to become a full-time,
heir-to-the-throne princess yet.
Not the way my mom
expects me to be, anyway.
But
I'm not sure if I fit in here either.
Of course you do!
Even if all I do is fly around
and try out new moves?
It's what you love to do!
As Izzy would say
[high-pitched] It makes your sparkle
shine really bright!
I don't know.
Maybe my mom is right.
Maybe I should just go back
to Zephyr Heights
and really try to be
the kind of princess
everypony is hoping for.
[sighing]
I'm going to have to do it someday.
At least stay until Maretime Bay Day.
Then you can decide.
Okay, yeah.
I guess I can't miss that.
Now, come on!
We have a festival to plan
and it needs your magic, too!
[wind howling]
[glitching]
[shouting]
[gasps] That's not good.
Weird.
[sighing]
[glitching]
Ribbon Wreaths are the traditional
decoration of Maretime Bay Day.
We hang them on our front doors,
on Mane Street, everywhere!
Cute!
[coughing]
A little dusty, but cute.
[gasps] I once made a wreath
out of old teaspoons!
Loving that idea, Izzy.
[gasps]
Maybe we can add some unicorn
and pegasus flair to these ones, too.
[gasps]
[clattering]
Now where did I leave
my suitcase full of glitter?
Uh, anypony seen Zipp?
[Zipp] What's with all the spoons?
Oh, we're unicycling
these old decorations!
Do you want to try?
Uhh Decorating things
isn't really my strong point.
We could do something else!
What about baking Bay Day treats?
I'm not very good at baking either.
Or write a song for the big concert!
Ooh! Zipp, you used to love
writing song lyrics with me!
I don't think so.
Oh, wait! I'm sure we can find
something that you'd like to do!
Uh, maybe later! Bye!
[Hitch] Good Morning, station!
Sheriff Hitch here, reporting for duty.
At ease, deputies!
So, what do you say?
[singing] Which Sheriff-y things
should we do today in Maretime Bay?
Hey, hey, hey!
[Zipp] Oof. Are you trying to rhyme?
Oh, hey, Zipp.
Yeah! What did you think?
-Way too much.
-[Hitch] Cool, cool.
Just trying something out. Didn't work.
Good feedback!
[clears throat]
So, what can I do for you?
I came by because, well
Have you seen anything strange lately?
Strange? What do you mean?
Well, I was on the balcony earlier when
You know what?
It was probably nothing. Forget it.
[chuckling nervously]
Wait! I know what this is about.
-You do?
-[Hitch] Yup. Mm-hmm.
You're bored!
But you don't have to be shy. We're pals!
We can totally hang out! I know,
let's order fries
from three different diners
and then decide which ones are the best!
[gasps] Or maybe a puzzle!
[phone ringing]
A call?!
[clears throat]
Sheriff Station.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I see.
Really? How strange! At the beach?
Well, I'll be right there!
It appears we have a code 8-18
at the beach.
Want to come on a trot-along
with me, Zipp?
And I'm talking to nopony.
[crab claws clicking]
-[birds squawking]
-[pegasus giggling]
Hmm. Looks normal to me.
[Earth pony] What do you mean
something strange happened?!
You did it on purpose!
-I did not!
-I saw you use your magic
to drop your umbrella onto my sand castle!
I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
I was carrying it,
and then my magic just went away!
I don't believe you!
But I'm telling the truth!
[clears throat]
Is everypony okay over here?
Sheriff Hitch! I promise I didn't mean
to ruin anything. My magic
[Earth pony] I worked
on that castle all day!
-[phone ringing]
-Ahh! Ha!
[phone ringing and buzzing]
Argh!
[phone beeps]
-[phone beeps]
-Thursday. Noon. Beach.
Second magical mishap, levitation glitch.
Unicorn drops umbrella.
Lots of upset ponies. Very strange.
Must investigate further.
[glitching]
Oh, no. Please, no!
[glitching]
[glitching]
[gasping]
Ha-ha!
[bright music]
Zipp! There you are!
Oh, hey! Coming to town with
us to gather more supplies
for the new-and-improved Maretime Bay Day?
Oh. Wish I could, but--
Why can't you, exactly?
Because
I'm working on my own
surprise thing for Bay Day. Yeah!
Have fun!
[tense music]
[phone beeps]
Thursday, 12:15.
Crystals, normal. Prisbeam energy, intact.
[sighing]
[Hitch] Okay.
Tell me what happened.
One at a time.
She tried to sabotage my sand castle!
No, I didn't! My magic was just gone!
Okay, okay. Everypony just--
Magic shouldn't be allowed
here on the beach!
[young pegasus] Is magic allowed
on the beach, Sheriff Hitch?
Oh. Uh
It's not, not allowed?
You know, actually, maybe I should go back
to the station and check the records
to see what I can dig up! Yeah!
You ponies just hang tight
and I'll get back to you.
[birds squawking]
Huh
You don't belong here, do you?
I've never seen an egg like this.
-Have you?
-[birds chirping]
What in Equestria are you?
Oh!
[grunting]
I'll take care of you, little one.
[Earth pony] You did it on purpose!
[unicorn] I would never
do that on purpose!
That's better.
All roasty and toasty.
I'll just keep you safe here
until we can find who you belong to, okay?
[Posey] Sheriff Hitch?
[chuckling nervously]
Who were you just talking to?
Nopony! Nopony at all!
How can I help you, Posey?
I was just trotting down Mane Street
when I noticed that my hooves
were stuck to the sidewalk!
I tried and tried to move, but I couldn't
for like a really long time!
I think somepony's pranking me.
Probably one of those unicorns.
I'd like to file a complaint!
Okay! The complaint box
is over there on the wall.
Well, I'd prefer if you
took it down yourself.
I would, but I'm late for
an important meeting at the Brighthouse.
Duty calls!
Keep an eye on that egg for me,
would you, Deputy?
[chirping]
[laughing]
[bright music]
Maretime Bay Day is going to be
great with these treats!
How could it not?
We've literally thought of everything!
And I've been working
on the all new anthem
[sing-songy] for Maretime Bay Day! Woo!
[normally] You want to hear it?
Too late! Doing it anyway!
[clears throat]
A-five, six, seven, eight!
Maretime Bay
[vocalizing]
Yeah! Hey! Hey! And then it's like
Something about the sunshine and sea
And then it's like
Something, something, something
Something, something
Then something,
something, something
Uh Yeah. I don't like it.
I love it! What?!
-[door opening]
-[Hitch humming]
Catchy!
Hmm, something, something!
Yup. Very catchy. She's good.
[timer dinging]
Mmm!
Miniature Glimmerberry tarts!
-Great idea, Izzy.
-[Izzy giggling]
[Izzy] Oh, ta-da!
Ooh, now they're a true work of "tart".
Mmm. But how do you make them
taste like magic?
The secret ingredient
[whispering] Magic!
We have to make Cloud Candy next!
It's Zipp's favorite!
Um, where is she, by the way?
[uncertain grunts]
Hour five. Still nothing.
Hour five and one minute. Still nothing.
[sighs] Maybe I was wrong.
Maybe there's no pattern to it.
Just a glitch.
Ugh.
What in the wing feathers?
[giggling]
[resonating]
Ah!
[whooshing]
Whoa.
I don't believe this.
[hooves clopping]
Everypony, quick! Come upstairs!
You have got to see this!
-There you are!
-What happened?!
Just hurry!
Wow!
What are we looking at?
There were all these vines
growing on the wall!
And they were glowing!
Glowing vines?
Okay.
I have a confession.
I've been monitoring the crystals,
and I think something is wrong with them.
What? No, there isn't!
None of you have noticed that magic
seems kinda weird lately?
Like it keeps switching off, or something.
Hmm Nope!
-[Pipp] Me neither
-Really?
-[phone chimes]
-Sorry, Sis.
Hitch?
I saw what happened at the beach
the other day! Didn't you take--
What? I didn't take anything at the beach!
down a report?
Oh. Right. A report.
Actually, that reminds me,
gotta go file that report!
Hey, you wait a second!
You were gonna teach us how to make
life-sized gummy bunnies!
I know it sounds weird,
but I know what I saw!
And what I've been seeing.
Like the other day, when I was flying
back from Zephyr Heights,
these two pegasi crashed
into each other and I think it--
I'm sorry, Zipp.
I've been so caught up
in all the festival planning.
This is all my fault.
That magic is glitching?
Uh, magic is not glitching.
But you said it yourself.
Your alicorn magic
keeps appearing randomly!
You don't find that strange at all?!
No, I-I think that's just
because I'm still learning.
We all are!
[chirping]
-Ugh! Report.
-[phone beeps]
Nothing new to report.
No more signs of mysterious
glowing vines or crystal glitches.
[phone ringing]
Ugh!
-[Zipp] Hi, Mom.
-Zipp! There you are.
Have you been ignoring my calls,
young filly?
No, no. Just busy, Mom!
I'm actually helping Sunny
with decorations right now,
so I gotta go.
[chuckling]
[Queen Haven] Well, I can't
wait to see them!
See what?
The decorations!
Oh, didn't Pipp tell you?
I'll be attending
this Maretime Bay Day festival.
You will? Why?!
[barking]
Yes, it is treat time!
I know, I know!
See you there, darling!
Come on!
There's gotta be something.
[laughing]
[bell dinging]
[Zipp] Everything on Mane Street
appears normal.
Huh?
Hmm except that.
Huh.
Here you go, little one.
I brought you some sand
to make you more comfortable.
I thought maybe you'd like that.
[Hitch] Lookin' rosy and cozy!
Now, who wants to hear a story?
-[Zipp] I do!
-Ahh! Zipp!
Wow, you are sneaky!
What are you doing here?
I had an instinct, so I followed it.
And I was right.
You have been hiding something!
-Hey!
-Woo! Haha!
So, uh what is it?
No clue. I saw it on the beach
and I just knew it needed help. I just--
Had an instinct and followed it?
Yeah.
Hey, uh would you mind
keeping this between us for now?
Sure, I can Zipp it.
What?
So you gonna read us
that story now, or what?
-[claws clicking]
-[chirping]
[phone chimes]
[chiming]
Oh, no.
We rushed right here!
So what's the emergency?
Well, everypony seems
really stressy lately.
We clearly need a break,
and luckily, I know just the place.
I planned a surprise for you!
You're welcome!
Ooh!
Please don't let it be makeovers,
please don't let it be makeovers.
I knew it.
But this is so relaxing!
And informative!
Did you ponies know that there
are over a thousand different
kinds of hermit crabs?!
Cause I did not!
[Hitch] Sorry, Jazz.
[Hitch laughing]
I'm so sorry!
So ticklish!
[laughing]
Don't you ponies love it
here at Mane Melody?
-Yeah-huh!
-Mm-hmm!
What's wrong, Zipp?
Not a fan of Mane Melody?
No, no. It's awesome.
Pipp has done a great job here.
[gasps] You really think so?
Yeah, I do.
And hey, I'm sorry if I haven't been
helping out.
My mind's just on other things.
Like the crystals?
Something weird is going on.
Ugh, you worry too, too much.
But if something happens
to those crystals,
we'll lose magic again for good!
-Then it'll be no more flying and--
-[Pipp] Sis, sis, sis, sis, sis, sis.
You need to chill!
Nothing is going to happen.
[whistling]
We've got our friends back,
we've got magic back,
and we've got
[all singing] Music!
At Mane Melody
We sing!
While we style!
[all] Pipp, Pipp, hooray!
This one goes out
to my paranoid big sis, Zipp!
[upbeat music playing]
I know you're feeling like
there's something wrong
But don't you worry,
I have just the song for you
[giggling]
So kick those hooves up
in this comfy chair
And you'll forget about
those cares in a minute or two
Yeah
That's what you'll do
You've got a lot on your mane
and that's kind of tragic
But with a little bit of caring
and a touch of magic
You'll feel brand new
And you'll forget
what's been troubling you
So put your hooves up high
'Cause we're feeling alright hey!
Every day is awesome
in the Maretime Bay
So put your hooves up,
put your hooves up yeah!
Everything is gonna be okay
You don't get it, do you?
We can't just sing a song
and ignore everything.
If we lose magic this time,
we may never get it back again!
And it'll be our fault.
[Izzy] What's she talking about?!
[Sunny] Lose magic?
Whose fault?
[thudding]
-[ponies groaning]
-[Pipp gasps]
Are you ponies okay?
[groaning]
What happened, Windy?
I I don't know!
I was just flying along,
and the next thing I knew,
I was down here on the ground!
Yeah, me too!
Because you fell on us!
Ugh, I'm so sorry, everypony.
I'm normally such a good flier!
[Posey] Clearly she's not!
This is what I've been saying!
What everypony's been thinking!
If pegasi and unicorns
can't be respectful,
then they shouldn't be allowed
to use their magic
in Maretime Bay!
She's right.
I'm not sure.
Yeah! No more magic!
It isn't fair.
We Earth Ponies don't get any magic,
and then the ponies that do have it
don't even know how to use it!
Or they use it to prank us.
-Yeah, Posey's right!
-I agree!
Everypony, wait!
And now, they want to ruin
our special Earth Pony holiday, too!
That's not true!
We want it to be the best day ever!
[Diggy] Well, then Maretime Bay Day
should be magic-free!
Like it's always been!
-A no-fly zone!
-Or we're not coming!
[thunder booming]
I think I finally know
what's happening to magic,
why it's glitching!
You do?
It's the crystals! They might be
powered by ponies!
What?!
Okay, check this out.
Pipp, when we were fillies,
I used to steal Mom's
chocolate-dipped cherries
and blame it on you!
[gasping]
I knew it!
You got me grounded like 12 times!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And guess what?
I don't like karaoke! It's the worst! Ugh!
-[Pipp gasping]
-Hey. you take that back!
Karaoke is a fun activity
for every age and skill level!
Zipp's allowed to like what she likes.
Just because we enjoy something,
doesn't mean she has to!
Sunny, there's no need to get
all huffy about it.
Izzy was just trying to stand up for Pipp!
-Don't call me huffy!
-Ugh! I didn't call you huffy,
I said you were being huffy!
There's a difference!
And whoa!
[glitching]
You you were right!
So when ponies aren't
treating each other with kindness
When we aren't vibing
The crystals get weaker.
And the more unstable
magic becomes in Equestria!
Which causes pegasi to lose
their flight and fall on other ponies!
And unicorns to drop
stuff onto sand castles.
And weather changes
[gasps] Like a rando thunderstorm?
Yup! Everything is all out of whack!
I wonder if this had anything to do
with why the crystals were separated
all those years ago.
Ugh, or why I still can't seem
to figure out my alicorn magic.
I don't know. I want to find out.
But if we want to keep magic
in Equestria,
first, we need to get everypony
back on the same page.
Zipp's right. We can't give up.
We can still make Bay Day
the celebration it's supposed to be.
A day of friendship!
[sing-songy] And harmony!
-[others] Yeah!
-Let's do it!
[all] Hoof to heart.
[gasps] It's here!
[scatting]
-The big day is here!
-[yawning]
The big day is here!
[yawning]
[sighing]
Don't worry, I got you.
Sunny, Sunny, wait!
Happy Maretime Bay Day.
We don't usually exchange gifts.
I know, but just open it!
It's it's the lantern my dad
made for me.
I thought it was beyond repair!
Thank you so much, Izzy.
Sometimes, when you add
a little bit of magic,
you can fix anything.
You're right! Now let's go add
some magic to today and fix this.
Mm-hmm!
-[party horns blowing]
-[whistling]
[upbeat music playing]
Oh, look, look, look!
Ponies showed up after all!
And there's the queen!
-[trumpeting fanfare]
-[crowd cheering]
Hello, Your Majesticness!
[gasps] Mom!
Happy Maretime Bay Day, everypony!
Welcome!
So far, so good.
Now we just gotta keep it up.
[Dahlia] Spoons in the wreaths?
Ugh, yuck!
I liked the old decorations better.
I could not agree more!
Oh!
Ooh! Oh!
Ooh!
Wow!
[trumpeting fanfare]
[crowd muttering]
-[Posey's friend 1] Ahem!
-[Posey's friend 2] Hey!
Pegasi have an unfair advantage!
[indistinct arguing]
[thunder booming]
Hmm
[upbeat music playing]
Boss ice cream. Blegh!
-Argh!
-Ew!
Waste not, want not!
Ahh! Huh?
Oh, no!
[grunting]
My wings won't work!
Neither will my hooves!
-[pony] Help!
-Our hooves are stuck!
What's going on?!
The glitches, they're getting worse.
[thunder booming]
Are you sure you want to do this?
Nothing has gone to plan today.
I have to give it my best shot!
We still need all
the positivity we can get, right?
Maybe this will help.
[gasps] My lucky mic!
Okay!
[singing vocal warm-ups]
[blowing raspberry]
Yes, we're ready!
Alright. Showtime!
Break a hoof, Pipp! But not really!
Actually, be really careful!
Everypony please welcome pop star,
Princess Pipp Petals,
to sing the brand new
Maretime Bay Day song!
-New song?
-What?
That's my daughter!
[Dahlia] We want to hear the real
Maretime Bay song,
sung by an Earth Pony!
-[pony] This isn't right!
-[overlapping arguments]
Hey! Be nice! Sheriff's orders!
Are you on their side?!
There are no sides!
[tense music]
We know that magic returning
hasn't been easy for everypony,
that Equestria is really different,
but that's a good thing!
It's so much better now that--
Whoa! No, no, no!
The magic! It's dying!
[gasps] Eggie!
What is that thing?!
It's some sort of void!
Everypony, get back!
[screaming]
[grunting]
But we're stuck!
-Let us go!
-It's not us!
[grunting]
Can't you ponies with magic
do something?!
Ugh! Our magic isn't working!
Ah! I do not like this! No, I do not!
[grunting]
[shouting]
Posey! Windy! No!
Come on, alicorn magic! Work!
But the magic! I-It's gone!
Then I'll have to try without it!
I'm going in.
Not without us!
[Zipp] That's it!
The magic will come back to us
if we can work together!
Come on, unicorns! Come on, pegasi!
Help the Earth Ponies!
[grunting]
[grunting]
It's working!
You got this, Sunny!
It's too dark in there! Take this!
[tense music]
[screaming]
[grunting]
Sunny?
[bright music]
[laughing]
That tickles!
-[chirping]
-[crab claws clicking]
I know, I know! I totally agree
with everything you guys are saying.
Did you just talk?!
Did I just understand you? What?!
[chirping]
Wow, that's a lot of information.
Well, nice to meet you, Kenneth.
I'm Hitch!
[chirping]
Flower power?!
Earth Pony magic?!
But that's never happened before!
When we work together,
maybe we can invent new magic.
You're right, Zipp.
Actually, you were right about everything.
I'm sorry I didn't believe you.
I should have been a better friend
and listened.
I was just so focused
on hoping magic was okay
that I lost sight of everything else.
Can you forgive me?
[chuckling]
Obviously.
[laughing]
[Queen Haven] Zephyrina! There you are!
My hoofness, what an ordeal!
Gather your things.
We need to hit the sky
if we're going to make it back
to the palace by sundown.
Mom! I'm not going back with you.
We agreed that you were
to resume your studies.
My place is here in Maretime Bay
with my friends.
I just need more time
to figure things out.
To investigate magic!
To explore who I am
before I take on my royal duty.
And you know what?
I think who I am
is somepony who likes figuring things out.
Yes, you certainly are,
my little princess investigator.
Mom? Would you do me a favour?
Anything, darling.
Would you mind just calling me
Zipp for now?
[Queen Haven] Of course, Zipp.
[barking]
-I'm sorry, it's a what?
-[barking]
[Hitch] A dragon?
But dragons haven't been seen
in Equestria for generations!
[cooing]
-He's so cute!
-Adorbs!
[cooing]
Hey, everypony.
I just wanted to say
I'm sorry for the way I acted.
I think I just felt
Left out?
Yeah! Exactly.
We'll make sure that doesn't
happen again. Right, guys?
-Yeah!
-Of course!
Pipp? Would you mind
singing your new Maritime Bay song?
I will, on one condition,
if you'll sing it with me!
I'll do the harmony!
[soft music]
[alicorn] Ha. Those little ponies
finally figured how
to stabilize the magic.
Took them long enough.
And now that they have,
it's time to take back what is mine!
[laughing]
[Izzy] It looks brilliant!
You think so?
We're so glad you're staying
in Maretime Bay, Detective Zipp!
Me too.
We have a lot to learn about magic
and how it works.
I'm just glad I'll be here
to figure it out with my best friends.
Well, I definitely still have
a lot of questions.
Like why does my alicorn magic disappear?
Yeah! Like why do I now
have the magical power
to understand every animal
except for this adorable baby dragon?
-[dragon cooing]
-Ow, ow, ow.
[Zipp] Or
where did magic come from?
Who made the crystals, anyway?
And how did they get separated?
Why didn't Earth Ponies
have magic before?!
Well, at least we already
know one thing for sure.
[Izzy gasps]
What's that?
No matter what lies ahead,
we'll face it together!
[all cheering]
[bright music]
[upbeat music]
