Copy !req
2. You've really outdone yourselves,
Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
Copy !req
3. This is sure to be the winning entry
of this year's National Dessert Competition!
Copy !req
4. Oh, thank you Pinkie!
Copy !req
5. And thanks for transporting it
all the way to Canterlot for us.
Copy !req
6. Absolutely! It's my honor and I-
Copy !req
7. Beg pardon but,
could we maybe move things along?
Copy !req
8. This here cake's a mite heavy,
right Big Macintosh?
Copy !req
9. Eeyup.
Copy !req
10. All righty then, Big Mac!
Copy !req
11. To the train depot!
Copy !req
12. That's it Big Mac, nice and slow.
Copy !req
13. This is precious cargo you're carrying.
Copy !req
14. Yes, it took months
of planning and testing.
Copy !req
15. I would hate for it to-
Copy !req
16. Fall!
Copy !req
17. Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
Copy !req
18. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy,
a little pegassistance?
Copy !req
19. I'll get it there safely, you'll see!
Copy !req
20. Of course, Pinkie.
Copy !req
21. We never doubted you.
Copy !req
22. Twilight, can I see you a second?
Copy !req
23. A nice protective spell
as extra insurance...
Copy !req
24. Better safe than sorry.
Copy !req
25. AJ, Rarity, one last thing?
Copy !req
26. All right everypony,
we're in the home stretch here.
Copy !req
27. See, Mr. and Mrs. Cake?
I got it here without a hitch!
Copy !req
28. Now all we have to do is get it...
Copy !req
29. in?
Copy !req
30. Season 2 | Episode 24
MMMystery on the Friendship Express
Copy !req
31. Thank you all for helping me get
the cake safely on the dessert car.
Copy !req
32. Thank you for inviting us all
to go with you to Canterlot
Copy !req
33. for the National Dessert Competition.
Copy !req
34. I'm sure the festivities
will be just lovely.
Copy !req
35. Fooey on the festivities,
I can't wait to try
Copy !req
36. all those tasty treats!
Copy !req
37. Well, the tastiest treat
of all is sure to be the Cake's
Copy !req
38. Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness.
Copy !req
39. All that rich creamy goodness
of the marzipan,
Copy !req
40. That's why I call the
Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness
Copy !req
41. the "MMMM".
Copy !req
42. Exactly.
Copy !req
43. It's the most delicious delectable
delightful de-lovely cake in Equestria.
Copy !req
44. And it's sure to win first prize.
Copy !req
45. This is not so.
Copy !req
46. For I, Gustave Le Grand,
Copy !req
47. do challenge your crude cake
to a duel of delectable delacacies
Copy !req
48. against my exceptionally exquisite éclairs!
Copy !req
49. They will undoubtedly strike down
all the competition,
Copy !req
50. winning first prize and crowning me...
Copy !req
51. le champion!
Copy !req
52. Not a chance, Le Grand.
Copy !req
53. Doughnut Joe!
Copy !req
54. What are you doing in Ponyville?
Copy !req
55. Picking up the final all-important
ingredient for my contest entry...
Copy !req
56. "Doughnutopia"!
Copy !req
57. And with these super-sprinkles,
Copy !req
58. my doughnuts are gonna dunk all
the other lousy desserts steal first prize,
Copy !req
59. and make my doughnut shop famous...
Copy !req
60. forever!
Copy !req
61. Oh, Joe... your dippy doughnuts
could never outrun me.
Copy !req
62. Hello. What's your name?
Copy !req
63. I am Mulia Mild.
Copy !req
64. Behold, my chocolate mousse moose.
Copy !req
65. It will trample all your treats,
be given first prize,
Copy !req
66. and make me the greatest chef
in Equestria...
Copy !req
67. Madame Mild, you and your
mousse moose are mistaken.
Copy !req
68. Your frou-frou éclairs
will never defeat my doughnuts!
Copy !req
69. The Cakes'
Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness
Copy !req
70. is going to win!
Copy !req
71. Your simple cake could never
take my moose.
Copy !req
72. Well, it sure looks like we're in
for a delicious competition tomorrow.
Copy !req
73. Maybe we should all settle in
for a good night's sleep.
Copy !req
74. I gotta admit I'm pretty beat.
Copy !req
75. Yeah, I'm gonna hit the hay myself.
Copy !req
76. Wait! Didn't you hear those chefs?
Copy !req
77. We have to protect "MMMM".
Copy !req
78. Mmmm?
Copy !req
79. Mmm hmm.
Copy !req
80. I know for super sure that "MMMM"
is the best dessert in all of Equestria.
Copy !req
81. And I know that they know it too.
Copy !req
82. So...
Copy !req
83. So... one of them is going to
sabotage the Cakes' cake tonight!
Copy !req
84. You have to help me stand guard!
Copy !req
85. Pinkie, you're overreacting.
Copy !req
86. Yeah, those chefs aren't gonna
do your cake any harm.
Copy !req
87. But they are! I just know it.
Copy !req
88. Fine!
If you wanna stand guard, go for it.
Copy !req
89. We're going to bed.
Copy !req
90. I'll show them.
Copy !req
91. I'll stay up all night and protect you.
Copy !req
92. Nothing and nopony will stop me
from keeping you safe.
Copy !req
93. Stop, you saboteur!
Copy !req
94. I have you now!
Copy !req
95. Thank Celestia, you're okay!
Copy !req
96. But one of those bakers
is mixing up something bad.
Copy !req
97. So I'm not leaving you again,
no matter what.
Copy !req
98. Who turned out the moon?
Copy !req
99. Don't go near that cake, thief!
Copy !req
100. Stop, thief!
Copy !req
101. Oh, are you okay thief?
Copy !req
102. Overreacting my hoof.
Copy !req
103. I knew I was going to have
to keep a close eye on you.
Copy !req
104. And that's just what I'm gonna do.
Copy !req
105. The cake!
Copy !req
106. You look mmmm-marvelous.
Copy !req
107. I know. I think some congratulations
are in order for a job well done.
Copy !req
108. You better hold off on giving yourself
an award just yet Pinkie... look!
Copy !req
109. Look at what?
Copy !req
110. What is it?
Copy !req
111. What happened?
Copy !req
112. It's the
Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness.
Copy !req
113. It's been... mutilated!
Copy !req
114. Now, we just need
to find out who done it.
Copy !req
115. You mean, who "did it".
Copy !req
116. Exactly. Who did-done-dood it.
Copy !req
117. Well, having read many mystery novels,
Copy !req
118. I know that the only way to
discover the culprit is to investigate.
Copy !req
119. Exactly.
Copy !req
120. And as chief detective,
that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Copy !req
121. - You're investigatin'?
- Yes!
Copy !req
122. And Twilight shall be
my lowly assistant
Copy !req
123. who asks silly questions
with obvious answers.
Copy !req
124. Fine, Pinkie.
Copy !req
125. Should we start looking for clues?
Copy !req
126. Perfect silly question,
my dear Twilight.
Copy !req
127. Because the obvious answer is...
Copy !req
128. Yes?
Copy !req
129. No! 'Cause I know who did it.
Copy !req
130. Pinkie, how could you possibly know?
Copy !req
131. How could I possibly not know?
Copy !req
132. Clearly, this dastardly deed
was done by the baker
Copy !req
133. who knew their dessert
could not measure up
Copy !req
134. to the mastery of the
Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness.
Copy !req
135. I guess you feared
your éclairs lacked flair...
Copy !req
136. Gustave!
Copy !req
137. Thus, destroying the cake,
and the Cakes' chance
Copy !req
138. of winning the
National Dessert Competition.
Copy !req
139. But it makes no sense!
Copy !req
140. What do you mean, lowly assistant?
Copy !req
141. Well first, if you were tied
to the train tracks,
Copy !req
142. how are you now here?
Copy !req
143. Guess that isn't
a totally silly question.
Copy !req
144. And second, the cake hasn't been sliced,
it's been bitten.
Copy !req
145. Just look at the teeth marks!
Copy !req
146. You're right, my fine fellow.
Copy !req
147. Gustave Le Grand
is clearly in the clear.
Copy !req
148. Which means the "MMMM"
was destroyed by another baker.
Copy !req
149. A baker whose doughnuts are do-nots.
Copy !req
150. That's right, it was Joe!
Copy !req
151. Or as he's known in the spy world,
Mane. Con Mane.
Copy !req
152. Crushing the Cakes' chances to win!
Copy !req
153. Pinkie!
Copy !req
154. There is no laser beam security system.
Copy !req
155. And Joe is not sleek, stealthy Con Mane!
Copy !req
156. He's big, gruff, and messy!
Copy !req
157. Although, you would look
rather dapper in a tuxedo.
Copy !req
158. You may be right, lowly assistant.
Copy !req
159. May be?
Copy !req
160. Now that I'm taking
a closer look at these desserts,
Copy !req
161. I see that one simply cannot
look me in the eye.
Copy !req
162. Pinkie... that moose is a mousse!
Copy !req
163. Yes!
Copy !req
164. And the mule behind the moose panicked
when she saw the mastery of the "MMMM".
Copy !req
165. So you're saying that the culprit is...
Copy !req
166. Mulia Mild!
Copy !req
167. Putting an end to the Cakes'
dreams of taking first prize.
Copy !req
168. I hope you're proud of yourself, Mulia.
Copy !req
169. Pinkie, stop! This is ridiculous!
Look at her!
Copy !req
170. I guess you're right...
Copy !req
171. Thank you!
Copy !req
172. But I was so sure that it was
one of the other bitter bakers
Copy !req
173. that destroyed the "MMMM".
Copy !req
174. That way, their delicious dessert
would reign supreme.
Copy !req
175. I mean, just look at Joe's Doughnutopia.
Copy !req
176. It's a spectacular city
of doughnutty delight,
Copy !req
177. topped temptingly
in sprinklicious sprinkles.
Copy !req
178. And Gustave's éclairs look incredibly
edible, with glistening glaziness.
Copy !req
179. But then, there's
Mulia Mild's Mousse Moose.
Copy !req
180. Why, this mouth-wateringly marvelous
mousse moose tempts the taste buds
Copy !req
181. with this silky, smooth, yummy-nummy,
chocolateyness.
Copy !req
182. So, why did this criminal devour the
Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness
Copy !req
183. while leaving this trio
of tasty treats untouched?
Copy !req
184. Now I have no idea who do-doned it!
Copy !req
185. This mystery gets more mysterious
every minute.
Copy !req
186. Well, you have to stop the wild
accusations and get to the truth.
Copy !req
187. Everypony go back to your cars
while we do a little investigating.
Copy !req
188. Okay Pinkie, in order to
really solve this mystery,
Copy !req
189. we're going to have to find clues.
Copy !req
190. Now you were here,
at the scene of the crime all night.
Copy !req
191. You're not accusing me, are you?
Copy !req
192. No!
Copy !req
193. But maybe you saw something
that will help us.
Copy !req
194. I saw a silhouette in the moonlight!
Copy !req
195. Good... let's retrace your steps.
Copy !req
196. Then, I chased the culprit down
the train towards the caboose.
Copy !req
197. But when I got there, he was gone.
Copy !req
198. Our first clue.
Copy !req
199. I think I know who did it, Pinkie.
Copy !req
200. - Already?
- Yes.
Copy !req
201. But I need more evidence to confirm.
Copy !req
202. Tell me what happened next.
Copy !req
203. I heard somepony else in the dessert car,
and chased them up to the engine.
Copy !req
204. But, when I got there, all I saw
was the conductor shoveling coal.
Copy !req
205. The conductor, huh?
Copy !req
206. But, that doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
207. What happened next, Pinkie?
Copy !req
208. Well... I went back to the dessert car.
Copy !req
209. Yes?
Copy !req
210. The curtains mysteriously closed,
all on their own.
Copy !req
211. Interesting. Anything else?
Copy !req
212. I heard hoofsteps, a loud thud.
Copy !req
213. And then they were gone!
Copy !req
214. When I opened the curtains,
I saw that the portrait by the door
Copy !req
215. was all crooked.
Copy !req
216. Oh my, what is that?
Copy !req
217. What next, Pinkie?
Copy !req
218. That's it. I was here guarding
the cake the rest of the night.
Copy !req
219. I mean... I slept by the cake
the rest of the night.
Copy !req
220. And when you woke up,
half the cake was gone?
Copy !req
221. Exactly.
Copy !req
222. By Jove, I think I've got it.
Copy !req
223. Call everypony back.
Copy !req
224. We have a cake culprit to catch.
Copy !req
225. Why are we all here again?
Copy !req
226. I bet you're wondering
why you're all here again.
Copy !req
227. She's good.
Copy !req
228. We have discovered the true culprit
of this cake carnage.
Copy !req
229. But how?
Copy !req
230. Well you see, when committing a crime,
Copy !req
231. it's crucial that one
never leaves behind clues.
Copy !req
232. Especially an obvious clue like... this.
Copy !req
233. A blue feather.
Copy !req
234. I knew it was you, Gustave Le Grand.
Copy !req
235. Pinkie, Gustave doesn't
have blue feathers.
Copy !req
236. No, 'cause he's been dying them!
Copy !req
237. No, Pinkie.
Copy !req
238. Remember how when you chased
the suspect to the caboose,
Copy !req
239. they suddenly disappeared?
Copy !req
240. That's because they flew away.
Copy !req
241. But the thief did leave
a little something behind...
Copy !req
242. didn't you, Rainbow Dash?
Copy !req
243. I don't even like cake!
Copy !req
244. So Rainbow Dash did it! Case solved!
Copy !req
245. Case not solved, because
when we went to the engine,
Copy !req
246. I saw the conductor's hat.
Copy !req
247. And inside the hat was... this.
Copy !req
248. So it was you, that pink hair came
from your rainbow colored mane!
Copy !req
249. I don't have pink in my mane, Pinkie!
Copy !req
250. So you're wearing a wig?
Copy !req
251. Cut it out!
Copy !req
252. Pinkie, remember?
Copy !req
253. You chased a pony to the engine,
where you thought you saw
Copy !req
254. the conductor shoveling coal.
Copy !req
255. But that wasn't the conductor at all.
Copy !req
256. It was... Fluttershy.
Copy !req
257. You're going down, Fluttershy.
Copy !req
258. Pinkie!
Copy !req
259. But then another clue
confounded my suspicions.
Copy !req
260. You were guarding the cake
when the curtains mysteriously closed.
Copy !req
261. But that's no mystery, that's magic.
Copy !req
262. But when the thief tried
to make their great escape,
Copy !req
263. they left a little addition to the portrait.
Copy !req
264. Has anypony else noticed
that Rarity is wearing
Copy !req
265. her hair rather differently today?
Copy !req
266. What? Is it a crime to change
one's style every now and again?
Copy !req
267. Why, I think it's a crime not to.
Copy !req
268. Really?
Copy !req
269. Fine, I'm guilty!
Copy !req
270. I wear false eyelashes.
Copy !req
271. Oh, and I took a bite of the cake.
Copy !req
272. So did I.
Copy !req
273. Oh nuts, so did I.
Copy !req
274. You just made it sound
so delectable.
Copy !req
275. So tasty.
Copy !req
276. And boy was it!
Copy !req
277. I only meant to take a little,
lady-like bite.
Copy !req
278. And it was so good.
Copy !req
279. Yeah, I just dove right in!
Copy !req
280. But I'm really really sorry.
Copy !req
281. Terribly sorry.
Copy !req
282. Sorry, Pinkie.
Copy !req
283. That's okay.
Copy !req
284. At least this mystery
is finally solved.
Copy !req
285. But it isn't.
Copy !req
286. We figured out who ate the
Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness,
Copy !req
287. but we still don't know who devoured
the other bakers' goods.
Copy !req
288. You're right, Twilight.
You know what we have to do?
Copy !req
289. Well, yes I do. Do you?
Copy !req
290. Look for clues!
Copy !req
291. Well, Pinkie. Did you find
the devourer of the desserts?
Copy !req
292. I most certainly did.
It was, none other than...
Copy !req
293. the bakers!
Copy !req
294. First of all, Gustave has mousse
in his moustache.
Copy !req
295. And Joe has éclair in his hair.
Copy !req
296. And Mulia has sprinkles
in her freckles!
Copy !req
297. What do you say, bakers?
Copy !req
298. Oh I am so sorry, Mulia.
Copy !req
299. But Pinkie made your
mousse moose sound...
Copy !req
300. très magnifique.
Copy !req
301. And Pinkie's description of your éclairs
really did make 'em sound scrumptious.
Copy !req
302. And the way she spoke
of your Doughnutopia,
Copy !req
303. it was too delectable to resist.
Copy !req
304. Well everypony,
we finally have the mystery solved.
Copy !req
305. Yes, but now we don't have any desserts
to enter into the contest!
Copy !req
306. I think we can fix that. Come on!
Copy !req
307. Dear Princess Celestia,
Copy !req
308. today I learned that it's not good
to jump to conclusions.
Copy !req
309. You have to find out all the facts
before saying somepony did something.
Copy !req
310. If you don't, you could end up blaming
somepony for something they never did.
Copy !req
311. This could hurt their feelings,
and it can make you look really foolish.
Copy !req
312. So from now on, I'll always
make sure to get all the facts.
Copy !req
313. How's that for a lesson,
Princess Celestia?
Copy !req
314. Care for a bite?
Copy !req
315. I don't mind if I do.
Copy !req
