| - [[Category:Season transcripts]] Trixie: Come on, come on! Turn into a teacup! [magic zap] Trixie: No! Teacup! [magic zap] Trixie: No! Teacup! [magic zap] Trixie: [screeching] No! [normally] Oh, Starlight! I can't put a trick that's not working into my act! How come it's not working? Starlight Glimmer: It could be because you're just yelling "teacup!" and not picturing it in your mind. Trixie: Oh. Yeah, that could be it. Starlight Glimmer: What does your teacup look like? What shape is it? What color? Trixie: [inhales] [magic zaps] Trixie: Whoo! Starlight, I did it! [splurt] Trixie: Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! I did it, I did it, I did it! Woo-hoo-hoo! Starlight Glimmer: Hey! Trixie: Teacup! [giggles] Teacup! Teacup, teacup, teacup! Tea-cup! Teacup, teacup, tea-cup! You know what you need? A teacup! [splat] [teacup poodle yapping] Starlight Glimmer: [groans] Trixie: Whoops! I guess I pictured a teacup poodle? Heh. Starlight Glimmer: Trixie! You ruined my teacakes! Trixie: I just got excited! This is the first time I did a transfiguration spell! Real magic! Come on! Be impressed by me! [as Starlight Glimmer] "Yay, Trixie! You're so great at magic and having good hair!" Starlight Glimmer: [chuckles] Good job, Trix. But I was baking these to give to Twilight and the girls for their friendship retreat. Pinkie Pie gave me a recipe and everything. Trixie: Oh! You need some snacks to give to Twilight? I've got you covered. [humming to herself] [splat] Trixie: Problem solved. [magic rumbling] Starlight Glimmer: [exhales] Not exactly. [theme song] [train whistle blows] Twilight Sparkle: I am so excited for this friendship retreat! I can't remember the last time we all got to hang out without having to save Equestria. Rainbow Dash: Well, we are awesome. But technically, we weren't the last ponies to save Equestria. Twilight Sparkle: I was speaking in a broader sense. Are you sure you don't want to come with us? Spike: Yeah, I have three new comics to get through. Starlight Glimmer: And I promised Trixie we'd practice more magic. It might be better if the castle was empty, if you know what I mean. Trixie: [groans] Relax. If anything breaks, Starlight will just go back in time and fix it! Starlight Glimmer: [nervous laughter] Trixie: Kidding. Starlight Glimmer: We'll take good care of the castle while you're gone. Trixie: Have fun on your friendship retreat! [hushed, to Starlight] What in Equestria is a friendship retreat, anyway? Starlight Glimmer: [hushed] They're gonna bond, share laughs, and if I know them, they're gonna sing a song. Trixie: [giggles] We are gonna have so much more fun than them! Starlight Glimmer: [giggles] Shhh! Trixie: Twilight, wait! Starlight has something for you! Twilight Sparkle: Huh? Starlight Glimmer: [nervously] Here, I, um, brought you snacks... Twilight Sparkle: Oh, how... thoughtful, thanks. We will... not get hungry on the train. Starlight Glimmer: It was supposed to be teacakes, but... [sighs] it's a long story. Have a great time! Twilight Sparkle: You, too! [door shuts] [train rattling] Starlight Glimmer: Okay, Trixie, what kinds of spells did you want to work on next? Trixie: Well, every self-respecting magician has a disappearing act, so maybe we could start with that? Starlight Glimmer: Hmmm. Nothing just disappears, so that's technically a teleportation spell, and those are pretty hard. Maybe we should start with something smaller. Trixie: No-no-no-no. The Great and Powerful Trrrrrixie goes big or not at all! Just tell me how you do it. Starlight Glimmer: Well, I've always found magic is tied to my emotions. Whatever I'm feeling fuels whatever I'm doing, and the stronger I'm feeling, the stronger the magic. Trixie: Right. Like when you were so upset that cutie marks took away your friend, your magic was strong enough to enslave an entire village. [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: Yep. Thanks for bringing that up. Trixie: See? I'm already learning. If anypony is gonna teach me how to do a disappearing spell— Starlight Glimmer: Teleportation spell. Trixie: Whatever. I'm complimenting you. And me. We can do this, 'cause we're amazing, and magic is friendship and stuff. Starlight Glimmer: [laughs] I guess we can give it a whirl. Now, we just need to find you something to teleport. Trixie: Spike! How about it? Spike: [nervous laugh] Starlight Glimmer: Uh, let's pick something, I don't know, not living? Trixie: I mean it won't be as impressive, but okay. Teach away, mini-Twilight. Starlight Glimmer: [groans] Attendant Pony: [bored] Welcome to Manehattan Escapes. Rarity: Ooh, I'm going to start with a facial, and then get my hooves done, and— Twilight Sparkle: Oh, it's not that kind of retreat. Rarity: Isn't it called "Manehattan Escapes" because it's a deluxe spa where you can escape all of your troubles? Twilight Sparkle: Nope! It's because we get locked in a room and we have to solve puzzles and riddles in order to escape! Attendant Pony: [bored] The clues will lead you to a key to get out. Twilight Sparkle: Team-building! Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity: [sighs] Applejack: Come on, girls. This could be fun. Twilight Sparkle: Could be? Some of the brightest minds in Equestria put together these puzzles! Fluttershy: I'm just happy to be with all of you. Pinkie Pie: Me, too! I'm not great at solving riddles, but I'm super great at cheering other ponies on while they do it! Go, us! Ooo, ooo! Woo-hoo! Rarity: Yes, yes, woo-hoo. [clears throat] But just so we know, exactly how long will we be locked in here? Attendant Pony: [bored] A group of griffons set the record for the fastest escape. It only took them an hour. Rainbow Dash: Hah! Griffons barely like each other! We're basically the poster ponies for amazing friendships! So get your quill ready, bub! You're gonna have to write down a new record! Starlight Glimmer: If you master this spell before the girls get back, you'd be setting some kind of record! Trixie: Challenge accepted! Starlight Glimmer: Okay. What you want to do is concentrate on the object that you want to teleport... Spike: Yeah, I'm gonna go... all the way over here. Trixie: Concentrate on teleporting. Got it. Doin' the spell! Starlight Glimmer: No, Trix, wait, not just— [magic zap] Starlight Glimmer: [groans] [thud] Trixie: [weakly] Ta-da. Starlight Glimmer: [hyperventilating] No-no-no-no-no-no-no! You made Twilight's friendship map disappear! Trixie: [clears throat] Teleport. Starlight Glimmer: Really?! Trixie: Well, it was behind the apple. It was bound to happen. On the plus side, my magic is getting better! I made a whole table go poof! That was pretty impressive! Starlight Glimmer: Trixie, we have to get that map back. Trixie: We'll find it. No big deal. Starlight Glimmer: Twilight's never gonna trust me to be alone in this castle again! What were you thinking?! Trixie: Teleport, like you told me to. [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: No! You're supposed to concentrate on the object, not just teleporting! Trixie: [scoffs] Well, gee, you probably should have told me all the steps before you let me do the spell. Starlight Glimmer: I tried. [gasps] I... need a minute. [dishes clattering] [door opens] [crockery shattering] Spike: Hey, are you okay? Starlight Glimmer: I will be once I cast a spell to contain my anger in this bottle. Spike: Wait, what? Starlight Glimmer: Do you see this storm cloud? This has never happened before! All this magical energy has to go somewhere, and if I'm not using it to fight a magical duel or bend my friends' wills to obey my every command... Spike: Hah. I remember that. Starlight Glimmer: The point is, I don't know what my magic's going to do. So I'm hoping if I bottle up my anger, I won't do who-knows-what to Trixie. Spike: Are you sure that's a good idea? Starlight Glimmer: What choice do I have? I've got to get that map back, and I don't wanna lose Trixie. If she knew what I was thinking right now, she'd probably never talk to me again. Spike: Okay... You do what you need to do. I'll see if I can find the map somewhere in the castle. Starlight Glimmer: Trixie! Trixie: Oh, there you are! For a minute, I didn't think you were coming back, and that you might be upset with me for some weird reason. But then I remembered – you never get mad at me. Starlight Glimmer: [groans] [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: [exhales] Nope! [laughs nervously] Not mad at all! So, the map is probably in the last place you were thinking of. Where was that? Trixie: Ooh, great question. I wish you'd asked it, like, right after I did the spell. I don't remember anymore. [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: [groans] No worries. We'll just take a walk around town. Maybe that'll jog your memory. Trixie: Okay, that sounds fun. Ooh! Starlight Glimmer: Did you remember? Trixie: Nope! But I did think we could stop for cinnamon nuts while we're out! Starlight Glimmer: Cinnamon... nuts? [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: That's a good idea! Trixie: Yes! I've been craving something sweet since I couldn't have any teacakes this morning. Starlight Glimmer: [exhales] You got this, Starlight... Pinkie Pie: Woo-hoo! Go, Twilight! you can do it! [click, rattling] Pinkie Pie: Woo-hoo! Applejack: Hoo-wee! You solved that triangley thing mighty fast! Uh, does anypony need a purple jewel? Rarity: Ooh! Plum or boysenberry? Applejack: Don't both those fruits mean purple? Rarity: Yes, but one's a lovely purple and one's... well, icky. Rainbow Dash: [groans] Just put the gem in! We're trying to set a record here! [clunking] Pinkie Pie: [cheer-singing] Yay! We solved another clue, 'cause our friendship is so true! Yaaaay, us! Woo-hoo! Trixie: [chewing] Jeweler Pony: Ah, hello, fillies. Uh, how can I help you? Oh, are those cinnamon nuts? Trixie: Mmm, yes. I got them from the cart outside. They're delicious. Do you want some? Starlight Glimmer: Have you seen a big table? Magical map on it, sometimes glowing cutie marks shoot out? Jeweler Pony: [stuttering] A big ta— Uh, no! Uh, why in Equestria would something like that be in here? Ha. Trixie: Well, I cast a pretty amazing spell that transported it to the last place I was thinking of, but I might have been thinking about how I'd treat myself to a nice brooch instead. Jeweler Pony: Ah, well, no huge table here. Uh, are you still interested in that brooch? Trixie: Sure! Starlight Glimmer: No! We don't have time for this! Twilight and the girls are gonna be back soon! [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: But I'm not upset. What's our next stop? Granny Smith: Nope, I ain't seen it. Starlight Glimmer: Are you sure? It's really, really important that we find it. And it might be here because somepony... [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: ...was craving apples. Trixie: I'm still craving them. They'd go so well with cinnamon nuts! Granny Smith: [sniffs] Oh, them nuts sure do smell good! Heh-heh. Starlight Glimmer: Granny Smith, please. The table? Granny Smith: [confused muttering] Well, my eyes ain't what they used to be, but I'd know for sure if a big ol' table done appeared out of thin air. Starlight Glimmer: [sighs] [teapot poodle yapping] Trixie: Darn. I could've sworn it'd be at the ice cream parlor, because it was warm in the castle and I thought I wanted ice cream, and— Ooh! Maybe we should check out the Crystal Empire, 'cause Twilight's castle is made out of crystals, so I totally had crystals on my mind. [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: [tired] Okay, we better start moving if we want to make it to the Crystal Empire. Trixie: Are you okay, Starlight? Because you seem a little, uh, what's the word... "lch-bh-ba". Starlight Glimmer: [groans] [magic warbling] Starlight Glimmer: [tired] Nope. I am great. Trixie: Did your saddlebag just glow? Starlight Glimmer: [weakly] No. Trixie: Gimme! Starlight Glimmer: [weakly] No! Trixie: Give it here! Starlight Glimmer: [weakly] Don't! Trixie: What's in this? Bulk Biceps: Cinnamon nuts! Granny Smith: Ooh, I have had a hankerin' for these all day! Jeweler Pony: Uh, me, too! Ever since that Trixie came by with 'em. Starlight Glimmer and Trixie: [straining] [thud] [slow motion noise] [shattering] [dizzy stars] Trixie: Um, why are they looking at me like that...? Bulk Biceps: [growling] Trixie: Whoa! Granny Smith: You ruined my teacakes! Trixie: What?! [anxious noises] Jeweler Pony: You just had to give Twilight those smelly pretzels! Trixie: Were they your pretzels? I don't understand. Bulk Biceps: You don't pay attention when I'm trying to teach you! Trixie: Starlight, can you help me, please?! Applejack: Uh, Twilight, can you help me, please? [bricks moving] Rainbow Dash: I've seen those symbols! Over here! Pinkie Pie: You can do it! [clanking] Rarity: Almost there. Fluttershy: I've got the key! Twilight Sparkle: This is it! I'm so impressed. Rainbow Dash: I'm not. I knew we were the best! Granny Smith: You're the worst! Trixie: That seems harsh. Granny Smith: Hiyaaa! Trixie: Whoa! Starlight! [panting] I don't know what's happening! Starlight, help! [magic fizzling] Starlight Glimmer: I'm glad Twilight isn't here to see this. Twilight Sparkle: I wish that Starlight was here to see how strong friendships can be when we trust each other and work together! You've all taught me so much. Attendant Pony: That was lovely. But, um, you know the game isn't over until you turn that key? [ding] Rainbow Dash: Gah! [thud] Rainbow Dash: [panting] Did we do it? [buzz] Attendant Pony: So close. You missed the griffon record by two seconds. Probably shouldn't have sung that song. Rainbow Dash: Aw, nuts! Bulk Biceps: [screaming] Trixie: Nuts! [crash] Bulk Biceps: You just do whatever you want to do! Trixie: Starlight! Granny Smith: And you don't always... [pants] ...have to bring up my dark past! Trixie: I didn't know you had one, Granny Smith! Granny Smith: [grunts] Jeweler Pony: Oh! I just can't believe you sometimes! You make me so mad! Trixie: I barely even know you! I don't understand why you're all so mad at me! Starlight Glimmer: [weakly] They're not. I am. [magic warbling and rumbling] Trixie: You are? Starlight Glimmer: [sighs] I'm really... mad at you. You lost Twilight's map table. You make jokes like it's no big deal. It's like you don't even care you could get me in a lot of trouble. If we can't find that table, Twilight's never going to trust me again, and the worst part is you didn't even say you were sorry! Trixie: I... I-I'm sorry. I had no idea you felt that way. Starlight Glimmer: Yeah! I do! [sighs] But to be fair, I don't know how you could have known. I did a spell and bottled up my anger, but when the bottle broke, it infected these three. I'm really sorry. I used magic so I wouldn't use magic. I should have guessed that would backfire. Jeweler Pony: Aw, that's all right. It was a slow day. Granny Smith: Yeah, I was gonna get my dentures cleaned before y'all showed up. Bulk Biceps: Ah! Oh, no! My nut cart! [magic humming] Bulk Biceps: Yay! My nut cart! Jeweler Pony: Uh, hang on. Don't you work at the spa? Bulk Biceps: [gasps] I'm late for my other job! What? I wear many hats. [cart squeaking] Trixie: Not gonna lie. Hearing you and those random ponies say all those terrible things about me wasn't easy. But I needed to hear it. Why didn't you just tell me how you felt? Starlight Glimmer: I didn't want to lose you as a friend. Trixie: Pfft! Come on! It'd take a lot more than that to lose me. Our friendship is stronger than a few angry words. Starlight Glimmer: And a magical temper tantrum? Trixie: Listen, I'd take that over the boring pony you were becoming any day. The Starlight I love is passionate, lively, and yeah, sometimes angry. Those are my favorite parts of you. That and the fact that you forgive me every time. Starlight Glimmer: [giggles] I'll forgive you if you forgive me. Trixie: Deal. [gasps] I remembered what I was thinking about! [bell rings] Starlight Glimmer: You're kidding me. Trixie: There's more to it than that. I was thinking about how glad I am to have met you, and I remembered our first meeting – here at the Ponyville spa. And now I just have to teleport it back! Starlight Glimmer: No-no-no-no-no-no-no! [thud] Spike: A little to the left. Oh, now rotate it just a hair... [door opens] Twilight Sparkle: Hey, girls! How'd it go? [loud thud] Starlight Glimmer and Trixie: [simultaneously] Nothing! Twilight Sparkle: ...What? Starlight Glimmer: Let's just say I learned a friendship lesson while you were gone. Twilight Sparkle: You've barely graduated, and you're already taking initiative! [tearing up] Oh... So proud... Fluttershy: We learned about team building and problem solving... Pinkie Pie: And when not to sing songs! Rarity: We certainly had a good time, but I really was looking forward to a spa day, and the Ponyville spa's still open. Anyone? Twilight Sparkle: Sounds good to me! Rainbow Dash: [simultaneously] I have a coupon! Rest of main cast: [simultaneous agreement] Trixie: We'll meet you there! [to Starlight] Quick! Do you have a spell that will make the spa ponies forget that the map table was there? Starlight Glimmer: Haven't you learned anything about using magic to solve your problems? Trixie: No. If we learned that lesson, how will we ever have fun? Starlight Glimmer and Trixie: [giggling] [end credits]
