"This magic needs our full attention to make it happen!" "Twilight:" "There's no other way!" "Spike:" "I can't help it!" "Look!" "(random offscreen noises)" "(rock thuds)" "Twilight: (sighs) Never mind her." "She's just being Pinkie Pie." "Spike:" "Super EXTRA Pinkie Pie today." "(eerie theremin vibrato) Pinkie Pie:" "Hmm... (eerie theremin vibrato) Twitchy twitcha-twitcha-twitch." "Twilight:" "Pinkie Pie, what in the wide wide world of Equestria are you up to?" "Pinkie Pie:" "Oh, it's my tail!" "It's my tail!" "It's a-twitchin' twitching'!" "And you know what that means!" "Twilight:" "Actually, Pinkie, I haven't the slightest idea." "Pinkie Pie:" "The twitching means my Pinkie Sense is telling me stuff's gonna start falling!" "You two better duck for cover." "Twilight:" "Oh, Pinkie." "It's not gonna rain!" "Why, there's barely a cloud in the- (grunts)" "(frog croaks)" "Pinkie Pie:" "He just said, "Nice catch," in Frog."

"You okay, Twilight Sparkle?" "I just couldn't stand to see the pond getting so overpopulated, what with the frogs all hopping into each other and all." "So I decided to fly as many as I can over to Froggy Bottom Bog." "Twilight: (dryly) Of course you did." "Fluttershy: (mouth full) Bye-bye!" "Pinkie Pie:" "Um, Twilight?" "You've got a little something on your face, there." "Twilight: (sarcastic) Oh, really?" "Did your Pinkie Sense tell you that, too?" "Pinkie Pie:" "Nah." "I could just SEE it. (sings tunelessly)" "Spike:" "Wow!" "That was amazing!" "Pinkie Pie predicted something would fall, and it DID!" "Twilight: (dismissively) Oh, come on!" "She said that something would fall, and a frog just HAPPENED to fall at the same time!" "A coincidence, nothing else to it." "(eerie theremin vibrato) Pinkie Pie:" "MY TAIL!" "MY TAIL!"

"Nothing else is gonna fa- (screams, thuds, grunts)" "Spike: (fearfully) Oh no!" "Twilight fell!" "Is it...safe to go help her?" "Pinkie Pie:" "It's okay." "My tail stopped twitching." "(Pinkie Pie singing tunelessly)" "Spike: (laughs) That was AMAZING!" "Twilight:" "Oh, please." "Applejack:" "Uh, Twilight?" "Why are ya hangin' out in a ditch?" "Spike:" "Because Pinkie Pie predicted it!" "Twilight:" "Honestly, Spike, she did not." "Two coincidences like this in a row may be UNLIKELY, but it's still easier to believe than twitchy tails that can predict the future." "(eerie theremin vibrato) Applejack: (gasps) Twitchy tail?" "Pinkie Sense?" "!" "Whoa!" "(groans apprehensively)" "Spike:" "Don't worry, it's safe." "The prediction already came true." "Twilight:" "Oh, wait." "Don't tell me YOU believe in this stuff, too." "Applejack:" "I know it doesn't make much sense, but those of us who've been in Ponyville a while have learned over time that, "If Pinkie's a-twitchin', ya better listen."" "(theremin) Pinkie Pie:" "My ears are flopping!" "My ears are flopping!" "Spike: (recoils fearfully) What does THAT mean?" "!" "Pinkie Pie:" "I'll start a bath for you." "Twilight:" "Huh?" "(chuckles) A bath?" "!" "This thing keeps getting more ridiculous by the minute- (splash)" "(Twilight groans in frustration)" "(Twilight blows bubbles)" "Pinkie Pie:" "So, basically, it works like this:" "I get different, little, niggly feelings meaning different things." "Like, when my back is itchy, it's my lucky day!" "And when my knee gets pinchy, that means something scary's about to happen." "Twilight:" "Is your knee pinchy now?" "Pinkie Pie:" "No, but my shoulder's achy." "That means there's an alligator in the tub." "(splash)" "Twilight: (screams) How come your knee didn't get pinchy?" "!" "That isn't just scary, it's downright DANGEROUS!" "Pinkie Pie:" "No it's not, silly!" "This is my pet alligator, Gummy!" "He's got no teeth!" "See?" "(Gummy chomps repeatedly, Pinkie Pie giggles)" "Twilight: (unconvincingly) Okay, okay." "I get it." "Twilight:" "Well, I still don't believe all this "special power" stuff." "It's just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo." "Pinkie Pie:" "What's not to believe?" "You do magic." "What's the difference?" "Twilight:" "Huge!" "For one thing... (shoves soap aside, clears throat)" "Magic is something you study and practice." "It only happens when you decide to do it." "And it's meant to make something specific that you CHOOSE to happen happen!" "With you, it-it makes no sense at all!" "Pinkie Pie: (indignantly) That's SO not true, Twilight." "Sometimes it's a BUNCH of random things happening to my body at random times that supposedly predict the future." "I call 'em "combos."" "Twilight:" "Combos?" "Pinkie Pie:" "Sure!" "You know, like, ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter." "That means the sky is about to be graced with a BEAUTIFUL rainbow!" "Twilight: (dryly) Yeah." "Sure." "Pinkie Pie:" "Uh oh." "I feel a combo coming on." "Ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch!" "(door slams, Twilight yelps)" "(door creaks slowly, shuts)" "(Twilight thuds into ground, groans)" "Twilight: (dazed) You said that "combo" meant "beautiful rainbow."" "Pinkie Pie:" "Oh, nonononono." "You're thinking of an ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter." "This was an ear flop, then eye flutter, then knee twitch." "That usually means, "Look out for opening doors."" "You okay?" "Twilight:" "I don't believe this..." "Pinkie Pie:" "You don't BELIEVE because you don't UNDERSTAND." "Twilight:" "Hmm... (bubbling)" "(theremin, restraints latch)" "Twilight:" "Okay, now when you get another twitch, we'll have all kinds of scientific information." "Pinkie Pie: (oblivious) Okey-dokey-lokey!" "(bubbling, occasional steam whistle)" "Twilight:" "Any twitches yet?" "Pinkie Pie:" "Nopey-dopey!" "(steam whistles periodically)" "Twilight: ..." "Now?" "Anything?" "Pinkie Pie:" "Wait!" "Hold on!" "...Uhh, no." "Twilight:" "Are you kidding me?" "!" "After a WHOLE day of nonstop twitching, now that I've got you hooked up, you're not getting a SINGLE ONE?" "!" "Pinkie Pie:" "I don't control it." "They just come and go." "Twilight:" "That makes no sense!" "Pinkie Pie:" "Sometimes you just have to believe in things, even when you can't figure 'em out." "Twilight:" "I will not believe in ANYTHING I cannot explain." "Pinkie Pie:" "Wait!" "Hold on..." "I'm feelin' something!" "Twilight:" "Oh my gosh!" "What?" "!" "What is it?" "Pinkie Pie: (stomach growling loudly) It's my tummy!" "That usually means I'm hungry." "Let's eat!" "(Twilight groans in exasperation)" "Twilight:" "You know what?" "!" "(chomps wires, grunts)" "(machine powers down) Just forget it." "I don't need to know if this is real or not." "I don't need to understand it." "I don't even CARE!" "Pinkie Pie:" "Okey-dokey-lokey!" "(helmet clatters to ground)" "(theremin music) Pinkie Pie: ..." "Uh-oh!" "(gasps, voice trembles incoherently)" "(door slams, Twilight yelps)" "Spike:" "Pinkie?" "Have you seen Twilight?" "Pinkie Pie:" "Uh-huh." "(door creaks shut)" "Spike:" "Twilight...?" "What're you doin' back there?" "Twilight: (groans) Did you two PLAN this?" "!" "Spike:" "Plan what?" "(Twilight pops off door and crashes to ground)" "Twilight: (grumbles) This is ridiculous." "This can't be happening." "This makes no sense." "I have to figure this out."

"(Twilight screams)" "(Spike yelps)" "Twilight:" "Honestly, Spike!" "Don't you know better than to sneak up on ponies?" "!" "Spike:" "Oh, sorry...but, um, isn't that what you're doing?" "Twilight: (gasps) No way!" "I'm doing scientific research." "I'm observing Pinkie Pie, scientific name Pinkius piecus, in its natural habitat." "Spike:" "Pinkius whoicus?" "(Spike yelps) Twilight:" "There's something fishy going on with the whole "Pinkie Prediction" thing, and I'm getting to the bottom of it." "So, shh!" "Come on." "Pinkius piecus is on the move!" "(Pinkie Pie humming happily)" "Twilight: (to self) Hmm...itchy nose... (Pinkie Pie gasps)" "Twilight:" "Aha!" "That makes no sense!" "See?" "She's hiding like something's about to fall from the sky, but a twitchy TAIL means something's gonna fall from the sky." "NOT an itchy nose." "(theremin music, bees buzzing)" "Twilight:" "This proves, (Spike gasps) perhaps conclusively, that" "(Spike yelps)" "Spike!" "Where are you going?" "!" "I'm trying to teach you the value of scientific" "(bees buzzing and stinging, Twilight yelping repeatedly)" "Spike: (whispering) What's she doin' now?" "Twilight:" "Smelling a flower." "Spike:" "Holy guacamole!" "I wonder what that means!" "Twilight: (dryly) Probably that the flower smells good." "Wait, I'm getting something." "Ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch." "Spike:" "Hold on...you told me that's the combo that says, "Watch out for opening doors!"" "Twilight: (scoffs) You really, really believe this stuff, don't you?" "Here." "Let me show you there's nothing to be afraid of." "You see?" "I promise you there's nothing to fear from that- (door opens)" "(Twilight screams, yelps repeatedly in pain, thuds)" "(slow, dissonant banjo music) Applejack: (voice echoing up steps) Twilight!" "You came to visit my new apple cellar!" "..." "Twi?" "You okay?" "Uh, Twi?" "Spike:" "Here, lemme help ya." "(lever squeaks)" "Twilight:" "Okay." "Take this down: twitchy tail." "Spike:" "Twitchy tail. (gasps) "TWITCHY TAIL!"" "(theremin music) Twilight: (grunts) Spike!" "We can't let Pinkie know we're here, remember?" "!" "(theremin music) Spike:" "Somethin's gonna fall!"

"Whatcha doin'?" "Applejack:" "Takin' more apples to my new apple cellar." "How 'bout you, Pinkie?" "Whatchu doin'?" "Pinkie Pie:" "Oh, letting Twilight secretly follow me all day without me knowing." "Twilight:" "You mean you know all along?" "!" "Why didn't you tell me?" "!" "Pinkie Pie: (giggles) Silly, that would've spoiled the secret!" "(Twilight grumbles incoherently) Spike:" "Tail...still twitching?" "Pinkie Pie:" "All done!" "Clear skies from here on in, as far as I can tell." "(theremin music, Pinkie Pie shudders)" "(theremin music) Spike: (fearfully) Oh no!" "What does THAT one mean?" "!" "Pinkie Pie:" "Dunno, never got any like it before, but whatever that shudder's about, it's a DOOZY." "Something you'd never expect to happen is gonna happen!" "(Pinkie Pie's voice vibrates as she shudders)" "And it's gonna happen..." "AT FROGGY BOTTOM BOG!" "Applejack: (gasps) That's where Fluttershy is headed!" "Spike:" "Oh no!" "Is it about her?" "Pinkie Pie:" "Uh, I'm not sure." "Applejack:" "We'd better go and make sure she's okay." "Twilight:" "Calm down, everypony." "All we know right now is that Pinkie Pie just got a case of the shivers." "That's all." "Spike: (grunts) Hey!" "I thought you didn't believe in this stuff." "Twilight: (flatly) I don't." "I just want to be there to see the look on Pinkie's face when we find out nothing's wrong." "Pinkie Pie:" "Okey-dokey!" "(gate opens, frogs croak)" "(theremin music, PInkie's voice vibrates) Twilight: (sarcastic) Cold?" "Need a jacket or something?" "Pinkie Pie:" "No thanks." "I'm fine. (theremin music, Pinkie shivers)" "Spike:" "So, whaddya think happened to Fluttershy?" "Applejack:" "I hope nothin'." "Spike:" "I know, but...what do you THINK happened?" "Applejack:" "I'm tryin' not t'think about it." "Spike:" "Me too." "But I'm thinkin' about it, anyway." "Like...what if she EXPLODED!" "Applejack: (dryly) Just exploded...?" "For no reason?" "Spike:" "Yeah!" "Like, BOOM!" "Pinkie Pie:" "Whoa!" "Spike:" "I know!" "Pinkie Pie:" "What if...what if she exploded, and then...and then EXPLODED AGAIN?" "!" "Spike:" "Can you do that?" "!" "Can you explode twice?" "!" "Applejack: (dryly) Of course not." "Spike:" "Well, what if she exploded...and then exploded again...and then" "Twilight:" "Will you two STOP?" "She's fine;" "I'm sure of it." "Applejack:" "I hope you're right, for Fluttershy's sake." "Look!" "There's Froggy Bottom Bog!" "(dragonfly buzzing)" "Applejack: (shouting) Fluttershy!" "(bog creatures chirping) Pinkie Pie:" "Fluttershy!" "(Pinkie Pie gasps, splats into mud)" "Spike:" "Fluttershy!" "You're okay!" "Fluttershy: ..." "Of course." "Applejack: (sighs) What a relief." "Pinkie Pie:" "I'm so glad everything's alright." "Twilight:" "Sorry." "I know it's not right to gloat, but..." "AHA!" "(Spike grunts) I told you there was nothing to worry about, and I was right." "(ominous music)" "Pinkie Pie said whatever she was shuddering about was a (coughs) doozy, and (coughs) and the only (coughs) doozy here is how right I am." "Applejack: (fearfully) Um..." "Twilight?" "(swamp muck rumbling)" "Twilight:" "Pinkie's made a lot of predictions today, but- (coughs and wheezes)" "Ugh, what is that SMELL?" "But what we've shown here is that there's no point in believing (coughs) in anything you can't see for yourself."
