"Thank you little squirrel, but remember:" "these flowers are for Princess Celestia." "Only the prettiest ones will do." "Hello little guy." "I've never seen anything like you before." "Oh, are you hungry?" "Here you go." "I guess you were hungry." "You're the cutest thing ever." "I can't wait to show you to my friends." "Oh!" "Hurry up Spike!" "This place isn't gonna clean itself." "It also didn't mess itself up." "Princess Celestia will be here tomorrow!" "I thought this was just an unofficial casual visit." "There's nothing casual about a visit from royalty." "I want this place to be spotless, and you barely made a dent in the clutter." "Maybe you should, ugh, start reading them one at a time..." "Everything's gotta be perfect." "No time for fooling around." "You know, this would be an awful lot easier if there weren't two of us here, getting under each other's feet." "Great idea." "You clean, I'll go see how everyone else's preparations are coming." "Maybe I should..." "What happened to the rest of her name?" "We couldn't fit it all in." "You can't hang a banner that says "Welcome Princess Celest"." "Take it down and try again." "That looks perfect." "Keep up the good work." "Hello Mr and Mrs Cake." "How's the banquet coming?" "It would be coming a little better, ah." "Pinkie!" "What are you doing?" "Those sweets are supposed to be for the princess." "Aaaaa..." "I know." "That's why I'm tasting them." "Somepony needs to make sure that everything is tasty enough to tosh th' royal thung, and I, Pinkie Pie, declare that these treats are fit for a king, or a queen, or a princess." "Twilight, Pinkie, you won't believe..." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Uh, am I interrupting?" "No, not at all." "Come on in and make yourself at home." "What's going on, Fluttershy?" "You won't believe what I found at the edge of the Everfree Forest." "Come on out, little guy." "It's okay." "Three?" "They're amazing." "What are they?" "I'm not sure." "I'm also not sure where these other two came from." "I'll take one off your hooves." "I've never seen anything so... adorable." "Besides, it'll be nice to have a companion for Spike so he won't bother me so much while I'm studying." "Pinkie, do you want the other one?" "UGH!" "A parasprite?" "Are you kidding?" "A para-what?" "How could she not like..." "Now I gotta find a trombone." "A what?" "A trombone, you know." "Ahhh, typical Pinkie." "Stand still, Rainbow Dash." "Ugh, I caaan't, I need to flyyy." "This is waaay too boring for me." "Do you want to look nice for Princess Celestia or not?" "Wow, Rarity, those outfits are gorgeous." "Thank you Twilight." "Nice to know someone appreciates my talents." "Ugh, sooo boooring." "Huh?" "What's that sound, Twilight?" "Wow, what are they?" "The better question is, where did they come from?" "I only had one a minute ago." "Uh, I'll take one." "Me too, oh, they're perfect." "Does anypony know where I can find an accordion?" "Gals!" "Hello!" "This is important." "Durgh!" "Thanks a lot." "The decorations, the banquet," "I really hope everything comes together in time for tomorrow." "What's there to worry about?" "Spike!" "Wake up!" "What happened?" "What's going on?" "Where did they come from?" "I don't know." "The little guy got hungry in the night, so I gave him a snack, but..." "I have no idea where these others came from." "Oh no!" "They're messing up all my hard work!" "The princess will be here in a few hours." "Spike, help me round up these little guys." "Ugh, what does it look like I'm doin'?" "I know, I know, "stop fooling around"." "Get off me!" "Not only are you adorable, but you're also quite useful." "Oh!" "Are you okay?" "Aaah!" "Gross gross gross." "No creature that behaves so revoltingly is allowed in my boutique." "Look Rarity, Applejack loaned me a harmonica." "Isn't that great?" "And not a moment too soon." "Ugh, Pinkie, I'm a little busy right now." "And I'm not?" "You know how many more instruments I gotta find?" "A lot, that's how many." "Now if we split the list between us, we might just make it in time." "Please, Pinkie, I don't have time for some silly scavenger hunt." "I've got a real problem." "You've got a real problem alright, and a banjo is the only answer." "I see we're having the same problem." "Ditto!" "Fluttershy knows everything about animals," "I'm sure she can tell us how to stop them from multiplying." "...or not." "Ugh, do something Fluttershy, can't you control them?" "I tried everything I know:" "I've tried begging, and pleading, and beseeching, and asking politely and..." "If we can't get them under control before the princess arrives, it'll be total disaster." "Ew!" "If you ask me it's already a total disaster." "Here's all those apples you wanted, Fluttershy, but I still can't figure why y'need so many." "HEY!" "What do we do?" "I got it!" "No pony can herd like Applejack." "Yeah!" "We can drive 'em back into the forest." "I'l wrassle 'em up, but I need everypony's help to do it." "Twilight, you and Rarity wait over there." "I'll herd the little critters straight at ya like a funnel." "Rainbow Dash, you and Fluttershy stay on top of 'em, don't let 'em fly away." "Aye aye." "Yeeeeeee-haw!" "Alright y'all, here goes nothin'." "Look out Rarity, that one's fixin' to get away." "Keep a lean on 'em, Rainbow Dash." "Hold on girls, we're almost there." "Pinkie!" "Twilight, we don't have much time." "You're telling me?" "The princess could arrive at any moment." "Exactly." "That's why I need you gals to drop what you're doing and help me find some maracas." "Maracas?" "Pinkie, we've got much bigger problems than missing maracas." "You're right!" "Getting a tuba has to be our number one goal." "Follow me." "I said, follow me!" "Pinkie Pie, you are so random." "And you are all so stubborn." "Forget her ladies." "Focus." "Head 'em up and move 'em out." "Alright." "Ouch." "We did it." "Nice work, Applejack." "Couldn't a'done it without y'all." "Now let's get back and clean the mess they made, before the princess arrives." "Okay, everyone knows what to do, right?" "We gotta work extra hard to make up for lost time." "Where did they come from?" "Uh, I may have kept just one." "I couldn't help myself." "They're just so cute." "We don't have time to keep rounding up these things." "What do we do now?" "We call in the weather patrol." "Yeah." "Time to take out the adorable trash." "Way to go, Rainbow Dash." "Looks like our problems are solved." "They will be with these cymbals." "Hey!" "Give me those back!" "I can't hold it!" "She's breaking up." "Pinkie Pie, what have you done?" "I've lost a brand new pair of cymbals, that's what I've done." "Will you forget about your silly instruments for one second?" "You're ruining our efforts to save Ponyville." "Me?" "Ruin?" "I'm not the ruiner, I'm the ruinee!" "Or is it ruiness?" "Ruinette?" "Come on girls, there's no reasoning with that one." "She's a few apples short of a bushel." "Hey!" "I'm trying to tell you all that the ruining is on the other hoof." "If you just slow down and listen to me!" "What do we do?" "They're eating all the food in town." "My apples!" "We've gotta do something." "I got it!" "I'll cast a spell to make them stop eating all the food." "Look, tamborines!" "If you can all just..." "Heh." "Hey, it worked." "They're not eating the food anymore." "Oh no... if they get inside my store..." "Every pony for herself!" "My outfits!" "Go on, shoo!" "Get out of here." "Naughty!" "Naughty!" "I'll save you!" "No woodland creature is gonna eat the Apple Family's crop." "Brace yourself y'all, here they come." "Didn't see that one comin'." "Help!" "They're eating the words." "Help..." "Have you gone mad?" "Zecora, these little guys are devouring Ponyville, and the princess is on her way." "Can you help us, please?" "Oh monster of so little size, is a parasprite before my eyes?" "I dunno!" "Is it?" "Tales of crops and harvests, consumed." "If these creatures are in Ponyville, you're doomed." "Oh no, here she comes." "Okay, here's the plan." "Rainbow Dash, you distract them." "Good." "Everyone else, we need to build an exact copy of Ponyville right over there." "We've got less than a minute." "Zecora was right, we're doomed." "Oh no, the princess's procession is here." "It's all over." "Pinkie?" "We're in the middle of a crisis here." "This is no time for your... nonsense?" "Look." "Twilight Sparkle, my prized pupil." "Hello, princess." "So lovely to see you again, as well as your friends." "So... how's the trip?" "Get much traffic?" "Ah, what is this?" "Oh ho ho, these creatures are adorable." "They're not that adorable." "I'm terribly honored that you and the good citizens of Ponyville have organized a parade in honor of my visit." "Parade?" "Oh." "Yes, the parade." "Unfortunately, that visit is going to have to wait for another time." "I'm afraid an emergency has come up in Fillydelphia." "Apparently there's been some sort of infestation." "An... infestation?" "Yes, a swarm of incredibly bothersome creatures has invaded the poor town." "I'm sorry Twilight, to have to put you all through so much trouble." "Trouble?" "What trouble?" "Before I have to go, would you care to give me your latest report on the magic of friendship in person?" "My... report?" "Haven't you learned anything about friendship?" "Actually, I have." "I've learned that sometimes the solution to your problems can come from where you least expect it." "It's a good idea to stop and listen to your friends' opinions and perspectives, even when they don't always seem to make sense." "I'm so proud of you, Twilight Sparkle, and I'm very impressed with your friends as well." "It sounds like you're all learning so much from each other." "Thank you, princess." "Hey, what happened to the princess?" "Emergency in Fillydeplphia." "Some sort of infestation." "Oh no!" "Have they got parasprites too?" "Well, have tuba, will travel." "I think the princess can handle it." "So you knew what those critters were all along, huh Pinkie Pie?" "Well DUH, why do you think I was so frantic to get my hooves on all these instruments?" "I tried to tell you." "We know Pinkie Pie, and we're sorry we didn't listen." "[I'm sorry] [So sorry, Pinkie.] [Sorry, Pinkie.] [Real sorry, Pinkie.]" "You're a great friend, even if we don't always understand you." "Thanks guys, you're all great friends too, even when I don't understand me." "You saved my reputation with Princess Celestia, and more importantly, you saved Ponyville." "Or not."
