[Music]
excuse me when does the noon train from
the crystal empire arrive
uh
noon huh right sorry
i'm just a little excited because my
friend sunburst is coming
he's my oldest friend i mean we've known
each other practically forever we have
tons in common
we both love magic and games and jokes
everything really now that i think about
it there isn't a pony in all of
equestria i have more in common with
[Applause]
starlight
sunburst
you made it
of course i'd been looking forward to
this visit for a long time
[Music]
whoa how long are you staying uh just a
little reading for the train
same old sunburst
[Music]
it's gonna be so great spending time
together
just like old times
you and me doing the stuff we like games
magic antiquing
what
antiquing you know i like antiquing you
do
um of course historical knickknacks
ancient relics you are so lucky
ponyville is antique central
it is how have we never talked about
this we are going antiquing and you are
gonna love it okay
let's drop your stuff off at the castle
first
sure only
we may need to make a few trips
[Music]
i used to wonder what friendship could
be
until you answered it's magic with me
big
a beautiful adventures faithful and
strong sharing kindness
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
this is so great who knew i'd be the one
showing you the cool sights of ponyville
i'm a little surprised myself
[Music]
wow what a difference between the hoof
molded bricks and the extruded ones
right
uh-huh
oh
check out all these chandeliers
sometimes the crystals have magical
properties
oh oh that's cool how do you sunburst
i'm so glad you're here
in the antique store in ponyville
starlight's really been looking forward
to your visit
though i'm glad you're in the antique
store too i'm usually the only one
that's crazy who doesn't like antiquing
right
all right
oh look an ancient map of equestria made
by the mighty helm
without the help of unicorn magic or
pegasus flight the earth ponies of the
mighty helm were able to map the entire
coast of equestria cool
[Music]
you don't have to pretend to like all
this stuff what no
i do like it
i mean if you like it i like it besides
we've almost looked at everything right
oh wow you have got to see the saddle
arabian vanity
this shop looked a lot smaller from the
outside
[Music]
did you see this palaminian letter
opener wow that goes well with this
ancient phoenix feather quill we could
write to each other
um i really like this old tiny barrel
actually the stuff i bought is inside
the barrel but i can't wait to see what
it is
wait you don't know what you bought
it's a blind buy sometimes shops get too
busy to go through everything so they
load up a box or barrel and sell it
without knowing what's inside buying one
is sort of like a treasure hunt
once i found a first edition history of
equestria in the original old ponish
flight for certain plight
[Laughter]
it's an old ponish saying reward prefers
risk
it loses something in the translation
[Music]
why don't we look through this stuff
later yeah what do you want to do
starlight well
i don't know if you're gonna remember
this but
is this
dragon pit
i remember that game you two used to
play it
pretty much any time we weren't working
on magic i can't believe you found a
copy
[Music]
sunburst would get so excited whenever
his dragon got trapped he knocked the
whole board over
that's adorable
uh well it's an exciting game but i have
a little more control over my horn now
uh-oh some pony's dragon's gonna get
trapped
doesn't seem so exciting to me
huh i guess it is adorable
i hope you're enjoying your visit so far
are you kidding i mean first antiquing
and then spending time with twilight
oh
yeah
she's pretty great right i mean i know
she's a princess but i never thought
she'd be so fun to just hang out with
well she is the princess of friendship
right i guess that makes sense
so tomorrow i thought i suppose i'm just
surprised at how well we get along
i don't have much in common with most
ponies
you two are pretty similar i don't know
many ponies who are fluent in old ponish
exactly
oh i probably have more in common with
twilight than any pony in equestria
great
ah anyway i better get some sleep
uh ponyville might be small but there's
a lot to do
maybe we should ask twilight what she
recommends we see um
sure
great good night starlight
good night
[Music]
knock
oh hi starlight is it morning already
yep maybe a bit early but like you said
there's a lot to see in ponyville yeah
right
okay
plus i couldn't really sleep i just kept
thinking about all the stuff we have in
common and how much fun we'll have today
great uh is twilight up yet actually i'm
pretty sure she's busy with princess
stuff today oh
but i've got a full day of stuff planned
just you and me
uh great
um would you mind turning around or
preferably leaving the room so i could
get changed
[Music]
one genuine sweet apple acres apple tree
because we used to drink so much apple
juice as foals
uh i don't remember that
really i mean it was all we drank
here try an apple i bet that'll jog your
memory
ow
trixie what are you doing here
i often seek the privacy of the orchard
to practice new feats of amazement
and also i fell asleep
oh well sunburst and i were just
catching up so
i don't suppose the two of you want to
see a never-before-witness magical
marvel
sure
why not
behold visiting friend from starlight's
past and be amazed by the great and
powerful and current best friend of
starlight don't fix me
[Music]
i give you
the unicorn escape
once more
and
the great and powerful trixie requires a
little assistance
i know this trick there's a special link
but i could never hold the chain up long
enough to find it
[Music]
well if i could do magic like that i'd
have a whole slew of new tricks at my
disposal
i always liked close-up magic because i
knew i could do it if i just practiced
enough
[Music]
starlight why didn't you tell me how
much sunburst and i had in common
gee
i don't know
[Music]
i know trixie's magic is you know fun
but the mirror pool is actual magic whoa
this place is pure pony lore
yep i mean it's supposed to be all
dangerous and i guess i shouldn't have
broken the seal to get in but you wanted
to see the sights of ponyville right
so pinkie pie just dove in and made
copies of herself
mm-hmm
if we made copies of ourselves we could
get a year's worth of hanging out over
in one day
[Music]
and not that we would
do you hear that
oh i hope it's not a leftover pinkie pie
not exactly
mod how did you get in here this
cavern's actually connected to mine
uh what are you doing tapping mod isn't
super chatty i mean you and i could sit
around and talk all day but she looks
pretty busy
are you taking some kind of core sample
not exactly i'm uncovering this section
of strata for closer study
you might want to step back
i'm studying this area's metamorphosis
foliation is this nice phylite or slate
wow the pressure above must be pretty
uniform to get the planer fabric to be
this consistent you know about geology
i dabble for example by the speleothems
in this cave i kind of figured there was
another way out
because of the calcite deposits
[Music]
starlight where's sunburst
hmm doing stage magic with trixie
studying new rocks with maude you're
here so i guess you two aren't off
translating some ancient old ponish text
what are you talking about why would
sunburst be doing any of that i thought
he came to ponyville to see you
i thought so too
but it hasn't worked out that way
when we were fools we had more in common
than any two ponies in equestria
but now it seems like he's got more in
common with my friends than he does with
me
oh
everypony changes but that doesn't mean
there aren't still things you both like
you both love magic right
magic
sure you're really good at it and
sunburst practically knows every spell
that ever was
you're right thanks twilight you're the
best
i try
starlight what happened
mod and i found some fascinating
sedimentary stratum but when i turned to
show you you were gone mod does have a
way of making rocks really interesting
but i wanted to work on something a
little more us
what's this just a little something i
made up
whoa you made up this spell just now
[Music]
[Applause]
wow
i know right but wait there's more
[Music]
cool right
um sure
now we can play dragon pit just like we
used to
actually i thought we could go with mod
nothing was better than just you and me
playing this game when we were fools
right starlight do you want to be red or
blue
starlight i don't want to play the game
at all
[Music]
what's going on in here
nothing
i was trying to have fun doing the one
thing i thought we still had in common
but i guess we don't even have that
anymore
[Music]
i don't understand starlight and i have
known each other since we were foals but
that doesn't mean we have to be fools to
hang out uh starlight does have a
tendency to overdo
i mean it is surprising how well i get
along with all of her friends but she
and i still have tons in common maybe
you just need to remind her what those
things are
that's it and that's exactly what i'll
do
right after i think of them
oh
[Music]
obviously you and i hit it up
i am quite impressive
and we share a love for presta
digitation
right and starlight and i share a lot of
things too i just need to think of them
what else do you guys have in common
well we both made not so great choices
in the past
and we're self-conscious about everypony
judging us even though we've both
changed and are trying hard to be better
yeah we don't really have that
i can think of something you have in
common
you're both poor practice audiences
starlight and i don't really have a lot
in common other than feeling different
from most ponies
and comedy
comedy
i'm very funny was that a joke no
well it's more than i can think of that
she and i have in common we don't really
spend that much time talking about that
though mostly we're just comfortable
around each other
ah we used to be
we did everything together but now i'm
wondering if we've spent so much time
apart that we don't connect over
anything anymore and if we can't connect
over anything then maybe we're not even
friends well at least it's not serious
that was a joke
i appreciate you trying to help twilight
but it seems pretty clear that sunburst
and i have grown apart i understand but
i feel like that only happens if you
both let it you still want to be friends
right
i created a spell so we could relive
playing a game in our childhood home and
bodies
right
i'm just not sure sunburst wants to stay
friends too
i think you might be surprised
prepare yourself
for the new and improved dragon pitch
we had to take out a few spaces to get
it to fit but you hardly missed them
mod made the dice
[Music]
pumice is the lightest igneous rock it
seemed the best choice
and i added the special effects
there's nothing like a little
well-placed magic smoke
looks like somepony's dragon is gonna
get trapped i thought you didn't want to
play this game
well i didn't want to pretend to be a
foal but i know you wanted to play i
thought it'd be fun to play a version
big enough for full-grown ponies
what do you think
fun right
actually
it's missing something
now it's fun
[Music]
i don't know why i got so worried about
us not having anything in common yeah i
kind of think it doesn't matter as long
as we enjoy each other's company and
that game was certainly enjoyable
[Music]
what made it even better was getting to
play it with all my friends
[Music]
see you soon you bet i want to hear if
you find anything interesting in that
barrel trust me starlight you'll be the
first to know
[Music]
my little pony
[Music]
my little pony
[Music]
