23. Pinkie, what are you doing
here alone in the dark?Copy !req
24. I'm not alone in the dark.Copy !req
25. Okay then, what are you all
doing here in the dark?Copy !req
26. We're h-hidin' from her!Copy !req
27. Did you see her, Twilight?Copy !req
28. Did you see Zecora?Copy !req
29. Apple Bloom! I told you never to say that name.Copy !req
30. Well, I saw here glance this way...Copy !req
31. Glance eeevilly this way!Copy !req
32. and then a bunch of you
flip out for no good reason.Copy !req
33. No good reason?Copy !req
34. You call protectin' your kin no good reason?Copy !req
35. Why, as soon as my sister saw Zecora ridin' into town...Copy !req
36. she started shakin' in her lil' horse shoes.Copy !req
37. Diiid nooot.Copy !req
38. So I swept her up and brought her here.Copy !req
39. I walked here myself!Copy !req
40. For safekeepin'.Copy !req
41. Applejack! I'm not a baby!Copy !req
42. I can take care of myself.Copy !req
43. Not from that creepy Zecora.Copy !req
44. She's mysterious...Copy !req
45. Sinister...Copy !req
46. And spoooky!Copy !req
47. Will you cut that out?Copy !req
48. Just look at those stripes. So garish.Copy !req
49. She's a zebra.Copy !req
50. A WHAT?Copy !req
51. A zebra. And her stripes aren't
a fashion choice, Rarity.Copy !req
52. They're what she was born with.Copy !req
53. Born where? I've never seen
a pony like that in these parts.Copy !req
54. 'cept her.Copy !req
55. Well, she's probably not from here.Copy !req
56. And she's not a pony.Copy !req
57. My books say that zebras come from a faraway land.Copy !req
58. But I've never seen her in Ponyville.Copy !req
59. Where does she live?Copy !req
60. That's just it.Copy !req
61. She lives in...Copy !req
62. the Everfree Forest!Copy !req
63. Spike!Copy !req
64. Uh... sorry.Copy !req
65. The Everfree Forest just ain't natural.Copy !req
66. The plants grow...Copy !req
67. Animals care for themselves...Copy !req
68. And the clouds move...Copy !req
69. ALL ON THEIR OWN!Copy !req
70. And that wicked enchantress Zecora
lives there, doing her evil...Copy !req
71. stuff!Copy !req
72. Oh, she's so evil I even wrote a song about her!Copy !req
73. Here we go...Copy !req
74. She's an evil enchantress!
She does evil dances!Copy !req
75. And if you look deep in her eyes
She puts you in trances!Copy !req
76. Then what will she do?
She'll mix up an evil brew!Copy !req
77. Then she'll gobble you up
In a big tasty stew!Copy !req
78. So... WATCH OUT!Copy !req
79. Wow. Catchy.Copy !req
80. It's a work in progress.Copy !req
81. This is all just a lot of gossip and rumors.Copy !req
82. Now tell me, what exactly have you
actually seen Zecora do?Copy !req
83. Well...Copy !req
84. Once a month she comes into Ponyville...Copy !req
85. Ooh!Copy !req
86. Then she lurks by the stores...Copy !req
87. Oh my!Copy !req
88. And then she digs at the ground...Copy !req
89. Good gracious!Copy !req
90. Okay, I'm sorry.Copy !req
91. But how is any of this bad?Copy !req
92. Maybe she comes to town to visit?Copy !req
93. Yeah! Maybe she's just tryin' to be neighborly?Copy !req
94. And maybe she's not lurking by the stores,
maybe she's going to them...Copy !req
95. lurk-free, to so some shopping.Copy !req
96. Yeah! Everypony likes to shop.Copy !req
97. You know what I think...?Copy !req
98. Apple Bloom! Hush and let the big ponies talk!Copy !req
99. I am a big pony!Copy !req
100. W-what about digging at the ground?Copy !req
101. You gotta admit that's weird.Copy !req
102. What if she's digging for innocent creatures?Copy !req
103. I am sure there's an explanation
for everything Zecora does.Copy !req
104. And if anypony here were actually
brave enough to approach her...Copy !req
105. she would find out the truth.Copy !req
106. Well, I'm brave enough.
I'm gonna find out myself.Copy !req
107. You ponies are being ridiculous!Copy !req
108. Well, I heard that Zecora...Copy !req
109. EATS HAY!Copy !req
110. Pinkie, I eat hay!Copy !req
111. You eat hay!Copy !req
112. Yeah, but I heard it's
the eeevil way she eats hay.Copy !req
113. Hey! Where's Apple Bloom?Copy !req
114. The door's open!Copy !req
115. She went outside!Copy !req
116. And Zecora is still out there!Copy !req
117. That silly lil' filly...
I told her to stay put!Copy !req
118. Spike, you stay here in case
Apple Bloom comes back.Copy !req
119. Will do!Copy !req
120. Apple Bloom!Copy !req
121. You get back here right now!Copy !req
122. Beware! Beware, you ponyfolk!Copy !req
123. Those leaves of blue are not a joke!Copy !req
124. You... You keep your crazy mumbo-jumbo
to yourself, ya hear?Copy !req
125. Oh, brother.Copy !req
126. Beware! Beware!Copy !req
127. Yeah! Back at you, Zecora!Copy !req
128. You and your lame curse
are the ones who better beware.Copy !req
129. And you.Copy !req
130. Why couldn't you just listen to your big sister?Copy !req
131. I... I...Copy !req
132. Who knows what kind of nasty curse
Zecora could have just put on you?Copy !req
133. Just like in my song!Copy !req
134. Evil enchantress! With the dances!Copy !req
135. And the trances!Copy !req
136. You guys, there's no such thing as curses!Copy !req
137. Well, that's interesting to hear
coming from from Miss Magic Pants herself.Copy !req
138. My magic, real magic comes from within.Copy !req
139. It's the skill you're born with.Copy !req
140. Curses are artificial. Fake magic.Copy !req
141. It's cantrip with potions and incantations.Copy !req
142. All smoke and mirrors meant to scare.Copy !req
143. But curses have no real power.Copy !req
144. They're just an old pony tale.Copy !req
145. Just you wait, Twilight.Copy !req
146. You're gonna learn that some pony tales...Copy !req
147. really are true.Copy !req
148. She's an evil enchantress!
She does evil dances!Copy !req
149. BEWAAARE! BEWAAARE!Copy !req
150. If you look deep in her eyes
She will put you in trances!Copy !req
151. Yeah, was that supposed to scare us?Copy !req
152. - Wicked, wicked zebra!
- A curse.Copy !req
153. Then what will she do?Copy !req
154. Just you wait, Twilight.Copy !req
155. Some pony tales really are true.Copy !req
156. Then she'll gobble you up
In a big tasty stew!Copy !req
157. Sooo... WATCH OUT!Copy !req
158. Ugh... What a dream.Copy !req
159. Curses-shmurses.Copy !req
160. Whoa.Copy !req
161. Maybe Zecora cursed my hair?Copy !req
162. Or she cursed my horn!Copy !req
163. No, no, no, no, no!Copy !req
164. None of these books have a cure!Copy !req
165. There has to be a real reason for this.Copy !req
166. An illness? An allergy?Copy !req
167. A curse!Copy !req
168. I said a real reason.Copy !req
169. Something that points to something real.Copy !req
170. How about this one?Copy !req
171. "Supernaturals"?Copy !req
172. Spike, the word "supernatural" refers to
things like ghosts and spirits and zombies.Copy !req
173. Which are as make believe as curses.Copy !req
174. This book is just a bunch of hooey.Copy !req
175. But what if you're wrong, Twilight?Copy !req
176. What if this really is a...Copy !req
177. "A purse"? How could it be a purse?Copy !req
178. Pinkie! What happened?Copy !req
179. Hey! Say it, don't spray it, Pinkie.Copy !req
180. She's... trying to say... ow...Copy !req
181. Zecora... ow...Copy !req
182. she zapped us all with a... ow!Copy !req
183. curse!Copy !req
184. I'm afraid I have to agree.Copy !req
185. I hate to say I told you so, Twilight...Copy !req
186. but I told you so!Copy !req
187. It's a curse, I tells you!Copy !req
188. But Fluttershy seems just fine.Copy !req
189. Yes. There doesn't seem to be
a thing wrong with her.Copy !req
190. Fluttershy? Are you okay?Copy !req
191. Is there something wrong with you?Copy !req
192. Would you care to tell us?Copy !req
193. So... you're not gonna tell us.Copy !req
194. Yes, you're not or yes, you will?Copy !req
195. Good gravy, girl! What's wrong with you?Copy !req
196. I don't wanna talk about it.Copy !req
197. This is hilarious!Copy !req
198. Look at all of you. We got...Copy !req
199. Hairity...Copy !req
200. Rainbow Crash...Copy !req
201. Spitty Pie...Copy !req
202. Appletini...Copy !req
203. Flutterguy...Copy !req
204. And...Copy !req
205. I got nuthin'.Copy !req
206. Twilight Sparkle. I mean, seriously,
I can't even work with that.Copy !req
207. This is no joke, Spike.Copy !req
208. Now start looking for more
books so I can find a cure.Copy !req
209. I think we'll find a cure
for this curse at Zecora's place.Copy !req
210. It's not a curse!Copy !req
211. I agree with Dash.Copy !req
212. We'll go to Zecora's and force her
to remove this hex.Copy !req
213. It's not a hex either!Copy !req
214. This is all my fault.Copy !req
215. If I hadn't followed Zecora in the first place,
none of this would have happened.Copy !req
216. I just gotta fix this.Copy !req
217. Now where does she think she's goin' this time?Copy !req
218. I don't care what you say, Twilight.Copy !req
219. It's time to pony up and confront Zecora.Copy !req
220. Come on, girls! Are you with me?Copy !req
221. And I as well.Copy !req
222. Uh, I don't know. Seems awfully dangerous.Copy !req
223. How about you, Applejack?Copy !req
224. Applejack?Copy !req
225. Has somepony stepped on her?Copy !req
226. Or sat on her?Copy !req
227. Rarity's hair!Copy !req
228. Oh! Oh! Pinkie, what are you doing?Copy !req
229. Really... Ah! Ever heard of personal space?Copy !req
230. Apple Bloom is gone too!Copy !req
231. I bet they went after Zecora.Copy !req
232. Well, we better go find them.Copy !req
233. Come on, girls. Let's go!Copy !req
234. Ooh! Oh dear, ugh...Copy !req
235. Oh, this is so unseemly...Copy !req
236. Hey! A little help here?Copy !req
237. Oopsie. Sorry.Copy !req
238. Ow!Copy !req
239. Uh... Spike?Copy !req
240. Are you coming?Copy !req
241. Nope!Copy !req
242. Gotta stay here and look for the cure.Copy !req
243. Twilight Flopple!Copy !req
244. Stop it right there!Copy !req
245. Turn around right now, missy!Copy !req
246. No.Copy !req
247. No? You can't ignore direct order
from your big sister!Copy !req
248. Sorry, Applejack. But *I'm* the big sister now.Copy !req
249. Apple Bloom! You come back here
right this instant!Copy !req
250. I'm gonna tell Big Macintosh on you!Copy !req
251. Oh, pony feathers.Copy !req
252. Come on, girls. We've got to get to Zecora's.Copy !req
253. Hurry!Copy !req
254. Easier said than done.Copy !req
255. Heeey! Wait for me!Copy !req
256. Rainbow! Thank Celestia.Copy !req
257. There's no time to lose!Copy !req
258. I need to get to Zecora's pronto.Copy !req
259. Get it up, pony!Copy !req
260. Excuse me!Copy !req
261. YEEHAW!Copy !req
262. What the...Copy !req
263. No, Rainbow Dash! Other way!Copy !req
264. I look horrible!Copy !req
265. Oh my. That place really does look horrible.Copy !req
266. Nice decorations. If you like creepy!Copy !req
267. "She stole your song?"Copy !req
268. Oh, Pinkie. Doesn't sound anything like your song.Copy !req
269. She's an evil enchantress
And she does evil dancesCopy !req
270. And if you look deep in her eyes
She will put you in trancesCopy !req
271. Then what will she do?
She'll mix up an evil brewCopy !req
272. And she'll gobble you up
In a big tasty stewCopy !req
273. So... watch out.Copy !req
274. You saw those terrible things.Copy !req
275. Now you believe us, Twilight?Copy !req
276. Scary looking masks, confusing incantations
and a great, big, bubbling cauldron?Copy !req
277. Oh. Everything is pointing to Zecora being...Copy !req
278. bad.Copy !req
279. Or...Copy !req
280. What if Zecora is just making soup?Copy !req
281. The perfect temperature for ponies, I presume.Copy !req
282. Now, where is that little Apple Bloom?Copy !req
283. Or...Copy !req
284. What if she's making Apple Bloom soup?Copy !req
285. What if she's making Apple Bloom soup?Copy !req
286. I'm coming for ya, Apple Bloom!Copy !req
287. Ho there!Copy !req
288. Heel, Rainbow Crash!Copy !req
289. What have you done with Apple Bloom?Copy !req
290. No! No!Copy !req
291. Ponies! What is this...Copy !req
292. No! You know not what you do!Copy !req
293. You've gone and spilled my precious brew.Copy !req
294. We're on to you, Zecora.Copy !req
295. I didn't wanna believe that you cursed us...Copy !req
296. but the evidence is overwhelming.Copy !req
297. You made me look ridiculous!Copy !req
298. You made me sound ridiculous!Copy !req
299. You ruined my horn!Copy !req
300. How dare you!Copy !req
301. You destroy my home, destroy my work...Copy !req
302. then rudely accuse me of being a jerk?Copy !req
303. You put this curse on us,
now you're gonna uncurse us!Copy !req
304. It is unwise to venture down this road.Copy !req
305. Your actions will make my anger explode!Copy !req
306. Where is Apple Bloom?Copy !req
307. Zecora! I think I found
all the things you asked for.Copy !req
308. What in Ponyville is going on here?Copy !req
309. Apple Bloom! You're okay!Copy !req
310. Why wouldn't I be?Copy !req
311. Because Zecora is an evil enchantress, who
cursed us and was gonna cook you up in a soup!Copy !req
312. Oh, Twilight.Copy !req
313. Did those silly fillies finally get in your head?Copy !req
314. You know there's no such thing as a curse.Copy !req
315. Apple Bloom, sweetie. You can't just
stand there and tell me this isn't a curse.Copy !req
316. This isn't a curse.Copy !req
317. If you will remember back,
the words I spoke were quite exact.Copy !req
318. Beware. Beware, you ponyfolk.Copy !req
319. Those leaves of blue are not a joke.Copy !req
320. It was a warnin'. About that blue plant.Copy !req
321. It's called poison joke.Copy !req
322. That plant is much like poison oak.Copy !req
323. But its results are like a joke.Copy !req
324. What in the hay does that mean?Copy !req
325. It means this plant does not breed wrath.Copy !req
326. Instead this plant just wants a laugh.Copy !req
327. Will somepony please talk normal?Copy !req
328. I think what she's saying is that
when we ran in to save Apple Bloom...Copy !req
329. we ran into the poison joke.Copy !req
330. All our problems are just little jokes it played on us!Copy !req
331. LITTLE JOKES?Copy !req
332. Very funny.Copy !req
333. Okay, fine.Copy !req
334. But... what about the cauldron?Copy !req
335. And the chanting.Copy !req
336. And a creepy decor.Copy !req
337. Treasures of the native land where I am from.Copy !req
338. This one speaks "hello" and this "welcome".Copy !req
339. Not welcoming at all, if you ask me.Copy !req
340. The words I chanted were from olden times.Copy !req
341. Something you call a nursery rhyme.Copy !req
342. But... the cauldron... the Apple Bloom soup...Copy !req
343. Lookie here, Twilight.
That pot o' water wasn't for me.Copy !req
344. It was for all these herbal ingredients.Copy !req
345. The cure for poison joke is
a simple all-natural remedy.Copy !req
346. You just gotta take a bubble bath.Copy !req
347. But I tried to find a cure in all my books
and couldn't find anything.Copy !req
348. What book has this "natural remedy"?Copy !req
349. Here is the book, you see?Copy !req
350. Sad that you lack it in your library.Copy !req
351. Actually, I do have this book.Copy !req
352. But I didn't look inside,
because the title was so...Copy !req
353. weird.Copy !req
354. "natural remedies
and cure-alls that are simply... super."Copy !req
355. I... I...Copy !req
356. I'm so sorry, Zecora.Copy !req
357. I had the answer the whole time
if only I bothered to look inside.Copy !req
358. Maybe next time you will take a second look.Copy !req
359. And not judge the cover of the book.Copy !req
360. Zecora, would you be kind enough to mix up
another batch of the herbal bath?Copy !req
361. Mix it up I certainly will.Copy !req
362. Yet I am missing an herb from Ponyville.Copy !req
363. But whenever Zecora comes to town,
all the shops are mysteriously closed.Copy !req
364. Oh, well... I think we can help you with that.Copy !req
365. Look, Rose! How awful!Copy !req
366. The wicked enchantress has cursed them all!Copy !req
367. The horror! The horror!Copy !req
368. Daisy, we need to talk.Copy !req
369. "Dear Princess Celestia."Copy !req
370. "My friends and I all learned
an important lesson this week:"Copy !req
371. "Never judge a book by its cover."Copy !req
372. "Someone may look unusual or funny or scary..."Copy !req
373. "... but you have to look past that
and learn who they are inside."Copy !req
374. "Real friends don't care what your cover is."Copy !req
375. "It's the contents of the pony that count."Copy !req
376. "And a good friend, like a good book,
is something that will last forever."Copy !req
377. "Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."Copy !req
378. Miss Zecora, I would love to
get the recipe for this bath.Copy !req
379. It's simply luxurious.Copy !req
380. Applejack! Hey, where is Applejack?Copy !req
381. I'm right here, lil' sis.Copy !req
382. I ain't tiny no more.Copy !req
383. Oh, I have never felt so lovely
in all of my life!Copy !req
384. Oh my gosh! I never realized
how horrible is not to be able to talk!Copy !req
385. I mean I love talking so much and I couldn't
talk at all when my tongue was all EEEH!Copy !req
386. It was the worst! Don't you agree, Fluttershy?Copy !req
387. Yes.Copy !req
