1. Once upon a time,
in a magical land of Equestria...
Copy !req
2. there were two regal sisters
who ruled together...
Copy !req
3. and created harmony for all the land.
Copy !req
4. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn
powers to raise the sun at dawn...
Copy !req
5. the younger brought out
the moon to begin the night.
Copy !req
6. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance
for their kingdom and their subjects:
Copy !req
7. All the different types of ponies.
Copy !req
8. But as time went on,
the younger sister became resentful.
Copy !req
9. The ponies relished and played in the day
her elder sister brought forth...
Copy !req
10. but shunned and slept
through her beautiful night.
Copy !req
11. One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused
to lower the moon to make way for the dawn.
Copy !req
12. The elder sister tried to reason with her...
Copy !req
13. but the bitterness in the young one's heart...
Copy !req
14. had transformed her into a
wicked mare of darkness:
Copy !req
15. Nightmare Moon.
Copy !req
16. She vowed that she would shroud
the land in eternal night.
Copy !req
17. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed
the most powerful magic known to ponydom:
Copy !req
18. The Elements of Harmony!
Copy !req
19. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony,
she defeated her younger sister...
Copy !req
20. and banished her permanently in the moon.
Copy !req
21. The elder sister took on responsibility
for both sun and moon...
Copy !req
22. and harmony has been maintained
in Equestria for generations since.
Copy !req
23. Hm... Elements of Harmony.
Copy !req
24. I know I've heard of those before.
Copy !req
25. But where?
Copy !req
26. My Little Pony, My Little Pony...
Aaaaah...
Copy !req
27. My Little Pony
Copy !req
28. I used to wonder what friendship could be.
Copy !req
29. My Little Pony
Copy !req
30. Until you all shared its magic with me.
Copy !req
31. Big adventure
Tons of fun
Copy !req
32. A beautiful heart
Faithful and strong
Copy !req
33. Sharing kindness
It's an easy feat
Copy !req
34. And magic makes it all complete!
Copy !req
35. You have My Little Pony...
Copy !req
36. Do you know you are my very best friends?
Copy !req
37. There you are, Twilight!
Copy !req
38. Moondancer is having a little get-together
in the west castle courtyard.
Copy !req
39. You wanna come?
Copy !req
40. Oh, sorry girls. I got a lot
of studying to catch up on.
Copy !req
41. Does that pony do anything except study?
Copy !req
42. I think she's more interested
in books than friends.
Copy !req
43. I know I've heard of the Elements of Harmony.
Copy !req
44. Spike! Spike!
Copy !req
45. Spike?
Copy !req
46. There you are.
Copy !req
47. Quick, find me that old copy of
"Predictions and prophecies".
Copy !req
48. What's that for?
Copy !req
49. Well, it was a gift for Moondancer, but...
Copy !req
50. Oh, Spike. You know we don't
have time for that sort of thing.
Copy !req
51. But we're on a break!
Copy !req
52. No... no, no, no no no!
Copy !req
53. SPIKE!
Copy !req
54. It's over here!
Copy !req
55. Elements... elements, e e e... Aha!
Copy !req
56. Elements of Harmony... Mare in the Moon?
Copy !req
57. Mare in the Moon?
But that's just an old ponies' tale.
Copy !req
58. Mare... mare... AHA!
Copy !req
59. "The Mare in the Moon - myth
from olden pony times..."
Copy !req
60. "... a powerful pony, who
wanted to rule Equestria..."
Copy !req
61. "... defeated by the Elements of Harmony
and imprisoned in the moon."
Copy !req
62. "Legend has it that on the longest
day of the thousandth year..."
Copy !req
63. "... the stars will aid in her escape and
she will bring about nighttime eternal."
Copy !req
64. Spike! Do you know what this means?
Copy !req
65. No.
Copy !req
66. Take a note, please. To the Princess.
Copy !req
67. Okie dokie.
Copy !req
68. "My dearest teacher. My continuing studies
of pony magic have led me to discover..."
Copy !req
69. - "... that we're on the precipice of disaster."
- Hold on!
Copy !req
70. Preci... preci...
Copy !req
71. - Threshold.
- Threee...
Copy !req
72. Uh... Brink?
Copy !req
73. That something really bad is about to happen!
Copy !req
74. "For you see, the mythical Mare in
the Moon is in fact Nightmare Moon..."
Copy !req
75. "... and she's about to return to Equestria
and bring with her eternal night."
Copy !req
76. "Something must be done to make sure this
terrible prophecy does not come true."
Copy !req
77. "I await your quick response.
Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
Copy !req
78. Twilight. Sparkle. Got it!
Copy !req
79. Great! Send it.
Copy !req
80. - Now?
- Of course!
Copy !req
81. I don't know, Twilight.
Copy !req
82. Princess Celestia is a little busy getting
ready for the Summer Sun Celebration.
Copy !req
83. And it's, like, the day after tomorrow.
Copy !req
84. That's just it, Spike.
Copy !req
85. The day after tomorrow is the thousandth
year of the Summer Sun Celebration.
Copy !req
86. It's imperative that
the Princess is told right away.
Copy !req
87. Impera... impera...
Copy !req
88. Important!
Copy !req
89. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
90. There! It's on its way.
Copy !req
91. But I wouldn't hold your breath.
Copy !req
92. Oh, I'm not worried, Spike.
Copy !req
93. The Princess trusts me completely.
Copy !req
94. In all the years she's been my mentor,
she's never once doubted me.
Copy !req
95. See? I knew she would wanna
take immediate action.
Copy !req
96. "My dearest, most faithful student, Twilight."
Copy !req
97. "You know that I value your diligence
and that I trust you completely."
Copy !req
98. "But you simply must stop
reading those dusty old books."
Copy !req
99. "My Dear Twilight. There is more to
a young pony's life than studying."
Copy !req
100. "So I'm sending you
to supervise the preparations..."
Copy !req
101. "... for the Summer Sun Celebration in
this year's location, Ponyville."
Copy !req
102. "And I have an even more essential
task for you to complete."
Copy !req
103. "Make some friends!"
Copy !req
104. Look on the bright side, Twilight.
Copy !req
105. The Princess arranged for you to stay in a library.
Doesn't that make you happy?
Copy !req
106. Yes! Yes it does. You know why?
Because I'm right.
Copy !req
107. I'll check on the preparations
as fast as I can...
Copy !req
108. then get to the library and find
some proof of Nightmare Moon's return.
Copy !req
109. Then when will you make friends,
like the Princess said?
Copy !req
110. She said to check on preparations.
I am her student and I'll do my royal duty.
Copy !req
111. But the fate of Equestria does
not rest on me making friends.
Copy !req
112. Thank you, sirs.
Copy !req
113. Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have
interesting things to talk about?
Copy !req
114. Come on, Twilight. Just try.
Copy !req
115. Hello?
Copy !req
116. Well, that was interesting, all right.
Copy !req
117. Summer Sun Celebration:

Copy !req
130. Soup's on, everypony!
Copy !req

Copy !req
140. Okay. Well, I can see the food situation

Copy !req
141. Aren't you gonna to stay for brunch?
Copy !req
142. Sorry, but we have an awful lot to do...
Copy !req
143. Fine.
Copy !req
144. Food's all taken care of. Next is weather.
Copy !req
145. Ugh... I ate too much pie.
Copy !req
146. There's supposed to be a pegasus pony
named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds.
Copy !req
147. Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she?
Copy !req
148. Uh... Excuse me?
Copy !req
149. Let me help you.
Copy !req
150. Oops. I guess I overdid it.
Um... uh, how about this?
Copy !req
151. My very own patented Rain-Blow Dry.
Copy !req
152. No no, don't thank me. You're quite welcome.
Copy !req
153. Let me guess, you're Rainbow Dash.
Copy !req
154. The one and only!
Copy !req
155. Why? You heard of me?
Copy !req
156. I heard you're supposed
to be keeping the sky clear.
Copy !req
157. I'm Twilight Sparkle and the Princess
sent me to check on the weather.
Copy !req
158. Yeah, yeah. That'll be a snap.
Copy !req
159. I'll do it in a jiffy. Just as soon
as I'm done practicing.
Copy !req
160. Practicing for what?
Copy !req
161. The Wonderbolts!
Copy !req
162. They're gonna perform at
the celebration tomorrow.
Copy !req
163. And I'm gonna show 'em my stuff.
Copy !req
164. The most talented flyers in all of Equestria?
Copy !req
165. That's them!
Copy !req
166. Pfft... Please.
Copy !req
167. They'd never accept a pegasus who can't
even keep the sky clear for one measly day.
Copy !req
168. Hey. I could clear the sky in ten seconds flat.
Copy !req
169. Prove it.
Copy !req
170. Loop-de-loop around and WHAM!
Copy !req
171. What'd I say. Ten. Seconds. Flat.
Copy !req
172. I'd never leave Ponyville hanging.
Copy !req
173. You should see the look on your face.
Copy !req
174. You're a laugh, Twilight Sparkle.
I can't wait to hang out some more.
Copy !req
175. Wow. She's amazing!
Copy !req
176. Wait! It's kinda pretty once you get used to it.
Copy !req
177. Decorations. Beautiful...
Copy !req
178. Yes. The decor's coming along nicely.
Copy !req
179. This oughta be quick.
I'll be at the library in no time.
Copy !req
180. Beautiful indeed.
Copy !req
181. Not the decor. Her!
Copy !req
182. No, no, no... Oh my goodness no.
Copy !req
183. How are my spines? Are they straight?
Copy !req
184. Good afternoon.
Copy !req
185. Just a moment, please.
I'm in the zone as it were.
Copy !req
186. Oh yes! Sparkle always does
the trick, does it not?
Copy !req
187. Why, Rarity, you are a talent!
Copy !req
188. Now... um, how can I help youuuuaAARGH!
Copy !req
189. Oh my stars, darling! What ever
happened to your coiffure?
Copy !req
190. Oh, you mean my mane? Well, it's a long story.
Copy !req
191. I'm just here to check on the decorations
and then I'll be out of your hair.
Copy !req
192. Out of MY hair? What about YOUR hair?
Copy !req
193. Wait! Where are we going? HELP!
Copy !req
194. No, no, uh-uh.
Copy !req
195. Too green. Too yellow. Too puffy.
Not puffy enough. Too frilly. Too shiny.
Copy !req
196. Now go on, my dear.
You were telling me where you're from.
Copy !req
197. I've... urgh... been... sent...
from... Canterlot... to...
Copy !req
198. Canterlot?
Copy !req
199. Oh, I am so envious. The glamor, the sophistication.
Copy !req
200. I've always dreamed of living there!
Copy !req
201. I can't wait to hear all about it.
Copy !req
202. We are gonna be the best of friends, you and I.
Copy !req
203. Emerald? What was I thinking?
Copy !req
204. Let me get you some rubies!
Copy !req
205. Quick! Before she decides
to dye my coat a new color.
Copy !req
206. Wasn't she wonderful?
Copy !req
207. Focus, Casanova. What's next on the list?
Copy !req
208. Oh. Music. It's the last one.
Copy !req
209. Oh my. Um... Stop, please, everyone.
Copy !req
210. Excuse me, sir. I mean, no offense.
But your rhythm is just a teeny, tiny bit off.
Copy !req
211. Now follow me, please. A one.
A two. A one-two-three...
Copy !req
212. Hello!
Copy !req
213. Oh my. I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to frighten your birds.
Copy !req
214. I'm just here to check up on the music
and it's sounding beautiful.
Copy !req
215. I'm Twilight Sparkle.
Copy !req
216. What's your name?
Copy !req
217. Um... I'm Fluttershy...
Copy !req
218. I'm sorry, what was that?
Copy !req
219. My name is ...
Copy !req
220. Didn't quite catch that.
Copy !req
221. Well, um, it looks like your birds are back,
so I guess everything's in order.
Copy !req
222. Keep up the good work!
Copy !req
223. Ooookay.
Copy !req
224. Well, that was easy.
Copy !req
225. A BABY DRAGON!
Copy !req
226. Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before.
Copy !req
227. He's so cute!
Copy !req
228. Well well well.
Copy !req
229. Oh my, he talks.
I didn't know dragons could talk.
Copy !req
230. That's just so incredibly wonderful. I...
Copy !req
231. I just don't even know what to say.
Copy !req
232. Well, in that case we better be going.
Copy !req
233. Wait, wait! What's his name?
Copy !req
234. I'm Spike.
Copy !req
235. Hi, Spike. I'm Fluttershy.
Copy !req
236. Wow! A talking dragon!
And what do dragons talk about?
Copy !req
237. - Well, what do you wanna know?
- Absolutely everything!
Copy !req
238. Well, I started out as a cute
little purple-and-green egg...
Copy !req
239. and that's the story of my whole entire life.
Copy !req
240. Well, up until today.
Do you wanna hear about today?
Copy !req
241. Oh yes, please!
Copy !req
242. I am so sorry! How did we get here so fast?
Copy !req
243. This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville.
Copy !req
244. - And my poor baby dragon needs his sleep.
- No, I don't!
Copy !req
245. Awww, wook at that. He's so sweepy, he
can't even keep his wittle bawance.
Copy !req
246. Poor thing. You simply must get into bed!
Copy !req
247. Yes yes. We'll get right on that.
Well, goodnight!
Copy !req
248. Huh. Rude much?
Copy !req
249. Sorry, Spike. But I have to convince the
Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming...
Copy !req
250. and we're running out of time!
I just need to be alone, so I can study...
Copy !req
251. without a bunch of crazy ponies
trying to make friends all the time.
Copy !req
252. Now where's the light?
Copy !req
253. SURPRISE!
Copy !req
254. Surprise!
Copy !req
255. Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw
this party just for you!
Copy !req
256. Were you surprised, were you, were you?
Huh huh huh?
Copy !req
257. Very surprised.
Libraries are supposed to be quiet.
Copy !req
258. That's silly! What kind of welcome
party would this be if it were quiet?

Copy !req
271. Hey, Twilight! Pinkie Pie started
Pin the Tail on the Pony. Wanna play?
Copy !req
272. No! All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!
Do you know what time it is?
Copy !req
273. It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration.
Copy !req
274. Everypony has to stay up or they'll
miss the Princess raise the sun.
Copy !req
275. You really should lighten up Twilight.
It's a party!
Copy !req
276. Here I thought I'd have time to learn
more about the Elements of Harmony.
Copy !req
277. But, silly me, all this ridiculous
friendmaking has kept me from it!
Copy !req
278. "Legend has it that in the longest day
of the thousandth year..."
Copy !req
279. "... the stars will aid in her escape and
she will bring about everlasting night."
Copy !req
280. I hope the Princess was right.
I hope it really is just an old pony tale.
Copy !req
281. Come on, Twilight!
It's time to watch the sun rise!
Copy !req
282. Isn't this exciting?

Copy !req
287. As mayor of Ponyville,
it is my great pleasure...
Copy !req
288. to announce the beginning
of the Summer Sun Celebration!
Copy !req
289. In just a few moments our town will
witness the magic of the sunrise.
Copy !req
290. And celebrate this, the longest day of the year!
Copy !req
291. And now it is my great honor to
introduce to you the ruler of our land.
Copy !req
292. The very pony, who gives us the sun
and the moon each and every day.
Copy !req
293. The good, the wise, the bringer
of harmony to all of Equestria...
Copy !req
294. Ready?
Copy !req
295. Princess Celestia!
Copy !req
296. This can't be good.
Copy !req
297. Remain calm, everypony.
There must be a reasonable explanation.
Copy !req
298. I love guessing games! Is she hiding?
Copy !req
299. She's gone!
Copy !req
300. She's good!
Copy !req
301. Oh no...
Copy !req
302. Nightmare Moon!
Copy !req
303. Oh, my beloved subjects!
Copy !req
304. It's been so long since I've seen your
precious little sun-loving faces.
Copy !req
305. What did you do with our Princess?
Copy !req
306. Whoa there, Nelly...!
Copy !req
307. Why, am I not royal enough for you?
Don't you know who I am?
Copy !req
308. More guessing games!
Copy !req
309. Um... Pokey Smokes!
How about Queen Meanie?
Copy !req
310. No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty...!
Copy !req
311. Does my crown no longer count now that
I have been imprisoned for a thousand years?
Copy !req
312. Did you not recall the legend?
Did you not see the signs?
Copy !req
313. I did! And I know who you are!
Copy !req
314. You're the Mare in the Moon.
Copy !req
315. Nightmare Moon.
Copy !req
316. Well well well. Somepony who remembers me.
Copy !req
317. Then you also know why I'm here.
Copy !req
318. You're here to... to...
Copy !req
319. Remember this day, little ponies,
for it was your last.
Copy !req
320. From this moment forth...
Copy !req
321. THE NIGHT WILL LAST FOREVER!
Copy !req
