06x04 - Secrets of Starlight

[bunniefuu]

[rhythmic music]

We've been waiting
here for three hours, Iz!

-Nothing has happened.
-Yet.

Nothing has happened yet.

But you can bet your sparkles
it's going to!

I hope so! I mean,
I would love to transform

into a stunning crystal version of myself.

Maybe we should take a break
from staring at a tree.

[chuckles]
Just for a bit?

We'll come back, okay?

-[whooshing]
-[gasping]

Everypony, look!

Pretty!

Whoa. I guess you were right.

Ahem. Yes we were.

Crystal snow!
[gasps]

Oh, how pretty!

[gasping]

[giggling excitedly]
It happened!

I'm stunning!

-[phone shutter clicking]
-[chuckles]

I think this is another magical
Together Tree

like the ones we have in Maretime Bay,
Zephyr Heights, and Bridlewood.

-Be careful, Sunny.
-Relax!

It's not like it's gonna suck us
into a portal.

[screaming]

Huh? Ha.

[sneezing]

[groans]

-Wow.
-Whoa.

Woo.

[gasps]
Look at all those stars!

-[Misty] Where are we?
-[Zipp] Whoa.

Uh, better question...
What are we?

[gurgling]

Who cares?
We're so glamorous!

Sunny, what do you think this is?

Yeah. And how do we fix it?

I have no idea!

I've never seen anything like it before.

But the new Together Tree wouldn't have
brought us here for no reason, right?

[confused groans]

If we're here, then it must be
for something special.

We just have to figure out what it is.

Uh, is it just me or is that
portal thingy shrinking?

[Zipp] Nope. Not just you.

It seems to be moving
pretty slowly, though.

I think we have enough time to do
a little digging and investigate.

Well then, let's hurry!
So we can still get out of here.

Wherever here is!

We did just finish defeating Opaline

and I was sort of getting ready

to take a nap...
[yawning]

But I could muster enough energy
for another quick adventure.

Plus, I've never been in snow before!

Hmm, I thought it would be colder.

This snow is different! Oh!

Whoa!

[laughing]

It's extra, extra slippy. Whoa!

And extra sparkly!

You're right! What a fascinating place.

Let's find out what brought us here!

[gurgling]

I guess Sparky is leading the way!

[laughing]

Ooh! Aah!

[screaming]

[groans]

-All this slipping is making it...
-[blowing raspberries]

...very hard to "ooh" and "ahh."

Need a hoof?

I feel like I'm gonna be slipping
in this snow forever!

[gurgling excitedly]

[chuckling]
Sparky seems to love it.

We've been searching a long time!

Will we ever find anything?

[Zipp] Found something!

This way!

Come on, everypony!

[exclaiming]

Whoa!

[gasps]

Wow!

[all gasping]

[gasping in awe]

[Sparkly gurgling in awe]

-[gasping]
-[phone shutter clicking]

-[gasping]
-Wow!

Wow! It's so pretty under the starry sky!

-This place is incredible!
-More like incredibly empty.

Where is everypony?

It's like the whole place
has been completely deserted!

But it can't be because
of Opaline this time.

[wind howling]

[Pipp] Why would anypony abandon
a fabulous place like this?

[rhythmic thuds]

What is that?

It sounds like it's coming from in there.

Why is everypony trotting
towards the scary noises

when there is perfectly good silence
in the other direction?

Don't worry, Misty!

We're all going together.
We've got your back.

Oh, right. I keep forgetting!

[cheering]

Encore! Encore!

[screaming]

Was it something we said?

Where did everypony go?

[Sunny] Uh, we're really sorry!
We didn't mean to frighten you ponies.

[Izzy] We're friendly! We promise!

-Please come out!
-Yeah! And we ended up here by accident.

We don't even know where we are.

Hello. Sorry about
the sudden disappearance.

We shouldn't have panicked like that.

[gurgling]

[chuckling]
We're just not used to new faces

around here and, you know,
it's kind of hard to know

who to trust or what is real
because of the trance.

-Trance?
-Trance?

[chuckling nervously]
Who said... Who said that? Not me.

Anyway, we're very glad to meet you!
Right, everypony?

[playing a melody on flute]

[chuckling]

Our mistake! Whoa!
We love visitors!

Not that we've really ever had any,
but I think we love visitors!

I mean, at least I do?

We just can't really invite anypony here
because of...

[clears throat]

Uh, what Comet here is trying to say is...

-Welcome to Starlight Ridge!
-I'm sorry, Violet!

I didn't mean to say that.

-Say what?
-[Violet] I'm Violet Frost!

-I'm Sunny. And this is...
-Izzy. Izzy Moonbow!

-Name's Zipp.
-Pipp, lovely to meet you.

-Hitch!
-Hi! I'm Misty!

[gasps]
And this is Sparky!

[sneezing]

We've never met any ponies
that aren't Auroricorns before.

And we've never met any that are!
We're so happy to be here!

I have never seen anypony
flute-jam like that before!

[chuckling]
I got a little carried away.

But I had to have some fun,
while I still can.

-[gasps]
-"Have fun while you still can"?

-What does that mean?
-Yeah! I like to have fun all the time!

So do I, Izzy!

Violet, Violet! I have an idea!
Be right back!

[chuckling]

[gasps]

Ha-ha! Sorry about that!

Sometimes, my hooves
can't keep up with my brain.

[chuckling]

Comet is our Starlight Ridge
Cocoa Specialist.

Mm-hmm, here!
Try a few of our favorite flavors!

Okay, let's see, we've got
Apple Oat cocoa, Razzleberry cocoa,

Hay Milk cocoa, Jumping Jellybean cocoa.

Mmm! Jumpy!

[Comet] Salty Cinnamon cocoa,
snowflake shaped marshmallow cocoa,

and, my personal favorite,
super ice cold frozen cocoa.

Oh, uh... Thanks!

You ponies are in luck,
because today is Starshine Time!

Yes! Woo-hoo! Starshine Time
is my favorite! It's my fav...

Quick question for you... What is it?

Starshine Time is our
special day of fun!

Oh my hoofness, what great timing!

Give us a second, would ya?
[chuckles]

While fun does sound fun,
let's not forget

that there is a shrinking portal
that we have to get back to.

I totally hear you, but these are ponies
we've never ever met before!

This is our chance to make
friends with them.

Hmm. Uh...

I guess we've got some time to hang.

But after that,
we're definitely going back.

Starshine Time does sound pretty cool.

And they do musical numbers!

Plus, Sunny's probably right.

If we're here in Starlight Ridge,
it must be for a reason.

And what better way to find out what
it is than having fun with new friends?

[gurgling]

[all] Aww!

Du-okay.
Starshine Time it is.

[all] Yes!

[laughing]

[chuckling]

Oh, I'm so excited!

I love skating!

Uh-oh! I'm not so sure about this.

Don't worry, Izzy.
You'll do great!

Wee! I could do this all day!

This is pretty awesome. Oh, yeah! Ha-ha!

I feel like I haven't skated in forever.

I've missed it so much!

[gurgling]

Okay. Come on, Izzy.
You've got this!

[screaming]
I don't got this!

I can't even do it for a second!

It's okay, Izzy!

It'll just take some getting used to.
Just go slowly.

[screaming]

Okay, maybe not.
[chuckling]

I'm no good at trotting
on this crystal ice

and I'm even worse at skating on it!

Don't worry! Whoa, ha!
I've never been good

at trotting or skating either.

Huh? You haven't?

Mmm-mmm.
I've got my own way of doing it.

I call it... Whoa! Trip-skating!

Well...
[chuckling]

The name sounds fun.

Mmm-hmm!
Follow my lead!

[exclaiming]

Oh yeah! Trip-skating looks more my speed!

Well, let's do it together!

[exclaiming]

You got it!
Whoa, you're a natural!

-[gurgling]
-[laughing]

[laughing]

-What was that?!
-It was absolutely stunning!

Oh it's nothing, just an Aurora Flare.

Um... Nothing is ever just nothing.

Is that why today is called
Starshine Time?

Yep!

Hmm...

So what activity is up next?

[exclaiming]

The Ice Slide is my absolute favorite
thing to do during Starshine Time.

As an Earth Pony, I prefer keeping
all four hooves on the ground.

I can't slip and slide by accident
if I slip and slide on purpose!

[screaming]

Wee!

Maybe Sparky and I
will just sit this one out.

[screaming]

Or just me.

Don't worry, Hitch.
We've got Auroricorn magic.

We promise we won't let you get hurt!
[chuckling]

[screaming]

[laughing]

Okay. If Sparky can do it, so can I.

[screaming]

[laughing]

This is so much fun! Woo! Yes! Here we go!

[sighing]

[laughing]

[Sunny] Wow! Another one!

They're so gorgeous!

I wish Aurora Flares would
happen in Equestria.

It seems like the Aurora Flare happens
whenever everypony is having a good time.

-It's clearly connected to...
-Equestria? I've never heard of it.

[gasps]
You've never heard of Equestria?!

Uh... Neigh way!

Oh I have always dreamed of traveling,

but I've never been allowed
to leave Starlight Ridge.

Wait, what do you mean allowed?

-Um...
-Onto the next activity!

-Uh...
-Huh.

[Sunny] And when we finished counting,
we realized there were exactly



And um, that's basically every single fact
I can think of about Equestria.

Wow! Equestria sounds incredible.

I would love to go.
Wouldn't you, Violet Frost?

It does sound amazing,
but I could never leave Starlight Ridge.

It's my home.
It's special, don't you think?

Even the snow here is known for having
magical healing properties.

-Wow!
-That is special.

Starlight Ridge is like nothing
I've ever seen before.

You all are pretty lucky to live here.

Yeah, we are...

But Equestria sounds
like a wonderful place to visit!

It is! It's our home!

And it has...
[muttering]

...all of us there. Ta-da!

Whoa! Izzy! Those are some skills.

You know, at first,
I didn't really like the snow.

It's slippy and stuff. But now,
it's really starting to grow on me.

[gurgling]

And now it's starting to melt on me.

Oh, Sparky, buddy, gotta be careful
with your magic.

[gurgling]

It's okay, Sparky!
It's a quick fix!

Ta-da! Again!

[cheering]

I knew it! Every time
we finish doing something really fun,

the Aurora Flare blasts
across the sky.

You're right.
It makes perfect sense.

The Flares are attached
to the Auroricorns'

special kind of Cutie Mark magic!

Wow! What a day.
I've had so much fun.

Have you ponies had fun?

Why won't you talk about
the Aurora Flares?

The Aurora Flares? Yeah!
They're super special.

And so unique, right?! Like wow!

When I first saw one, when I was a colt,
I couldn't believe my eyes!

-They're incredi-mazing.
-They sure are!

-Now for our next activity, we should...
-Okay, hang on one second.

Something isn't adding up about this.

Why is everypony acting so funny
every time we bring up the Aurora Flares?

[chuckling nervously]
Will you excuse us for one second?

We just have to go look at that
patch of snow, uh, over there.

I agree with Zipp.
Something strange is going on.

I know the Together Tree portal brought us
here for a reason, but what is it?

Maybe the reason we were brought here
was just to have some fun!

Yeah. We really did need it
after everything we've been through.

Mmm... Maybe. But could the reason
really not be bad for once?

-Hmm... Seems sketchy.
-[bells tolling]

[gasping]

What's with the bells?

[yawning]
You know what,

-today has been so great, but...
-Uh, right, yup!

[yawning]
Time for bed!

-Bed?
-Now?

What about all of the other activities?

[laughing]
You ponies are hilarious.

The bell's ringing,
so we have to go to sleep now!

[yawning]
It was so great meeting all of you!

Bye! Thanks for visiting!

You should really go home now, but we did
have a really great time with you.

Aw.

[bells tolling]

That's it? We're done?

[sighing]
It was so sudden.

It's probably for the best.

The portal...
[chuckling nervously]

...must be pretty small by now.

Hmm, yeah.
I guess you're right.

[Misty] Wow, look how small it is.

Good thing we came back!

No. I really wanted to believe
that maybe the portal brought us

to Starlight Ridge to have some fun
and make new friends,

but something tells me
that's just not the case.

I agree.
My detective instincts are tingling.

The Auroricorns
were acting really strange.

Yeah, and they went to bed so suddenly!

I mean, I love my beauty sleep,
but that is just like too much.

The portal is getting really small.

If we don't leave now,
we might not make it through at all.

That would be bad.

What do we do?

We go back and find out
what's really going on.

But we could get stuck here.

It's a risk that we're just
going to have to take.

The Auroricorns are our friends now
and if they're in trouble,

it's our responsibility to help!

If one of us was in trouble, we would do
anything we could to help. Right?

I may just be getting used to having
friends, but I want to be a good one.

And that means going back and making sure
everything is okay with the Auroricorns.

You're right. Nopony is going to be
in trouble on my watch!

-Mine either!
-Or mine.

[gurgling]

Also me.

The Auroricorns are our friends!

If they need help, then help
is what they'll have!

[bright music]

Uh... What are they doing?

Well, they're certainly not sleeping.
That's for sure.

I guess they wanted to keep
having fun without us?

But why?!

We're a super-duper good time!

Let's go take a closer look.

[eerie music]

Comet! Comet?

Can you hear me?
What's going on?

[exclaiming]

[Izzy continues exclaiming]

Huh.

Even my Izzy boinks and bonks
didn't snap him out of it.

That usually works.

What do you think he's doing?

I'm not sure,
but he's definitely acting odd.

Uh, I know odd.

This was even odder than that!

Which I normally love.

But not this time!

Do you think this is why
they wanted us to leave?

Yeah, not so sure this fits
into their fun Starshine Time.

Then why do they all look so happy?

There's Violet Frost!
Should we go talk to her?

Oh my hoofness!
Who is that?

[Hitch] I have no idea,

but I think we can all agree
that she does not look friendly.

Uh... Neither does he!

[hissing]

I knew something was off about this place.

They're clearly in trouble!

Maybe if we get closer to Violet Frost,
we can hear what they're saying.

Let. Go. Of. Me. Allura! Ugh!

Don't try to fight it, Violet Frost.

Find me the star that I desire.

[laughing maniacally]

Yes, Allura.

Don't forget to smile.

And have fun.

[laughing maniacally]

What do we do?

Clearly, this Allura has got all
the Auroricorns under a spell.

-[laughing]
-We have to snap them out of it!

[laughing]

Maybe if we can get Violet Frost
and Comet far away from Allura,

we can get them out of the trance.
Violet Frost, stop!

Violet, no!

Ah, ugh...

[screaming]

No, no, no, no!

[grunting]

Wow, they are being really difficult!

And happily!

You do not want to go that way.

[grunting]

We need to be organized.
Let's link up!

[grunting]

Sunny?

[Comet] What are you all doing here?

Ha, it worked! Finally!

Hurry, over here!

I guess you discovered our secret.

Violet, what's going on?

You can tell us.

Yeah, we just wanna help.

It's okay. We're friends.

We didn't wanna tell you

because we didn't wanna
risk you all getting hurt, too.

Violet, who is that?
What does she want?

[gurgling]

That's Allura. She's an evil tyrant

that showed up one day
with her little sidekick, Twitch.

She completely took over
Starlight Ridge by force.

-By force?
-Yeah.

Allura claimed the most important
thing in our town:

a special relic called the Nova Charm.

[laughing]

That must be what we saw earlier.

It was so sparkly.

The sparkliest! It's a special charm

that our town has possessed
for thousands of moons.

Town law says that whoever holds the power
of the charm rules Starlight Ridge.

Allura managed to steal it
and possess it, so she's the leader.

Aw, this is no fun at all!

Allura sounds like a real bully.
[exclaiming]

-[grunts]
-You should stand up to her!

I wish we could,
but she's very powerful.

And persuasive. She's able to get us
to do whatever she wants just by talking.

If we try to stand up to her,
she could destroy our whole village

without us even realizing it. That's how
much her powers can trick our minds.

-It's no use.
-But what does she want?

Allura forces us to use our magic
to make the Aurora Flares.

[chuckling]

[Comet] Then she makes us steal
the stars out of them.

[Violet] She believes that one
of the stars in the sky is special

and contains the magic to open a portal
that will lead her to another realm.

She wants to control more
than just Starlight Ridge.

And until she finds the right one,
she's making us steal them all.

I can't believe that anypony
would be so cruel.

Plus, the stars are stunning.

That bully does not deserve any of them!

Maybe we need to get everypony
away from Allura?

You could all come back
to Equestria with us!

If we figure out how to get back, that is.

That's a great idea!

We can't just leave our home like that.

Starlight Ridge is special!

But what else can we do, Violet Frost?

We have to get the Auroricorns
away from Allura!

Comet, wait!

[panting]

[growling]

Comet, there you are.

-[gasps]
-[both] Oh no!

Almost got lost in the woods, did you?

Happy to be back, Allura.

That's right.

We need that happiness alive and well.

Now go. Join the others.

[sniffing]
Hmm...

What are we going to do?

There's no way we can get everypony

away from Allura long enough
to remove the trance.

There has to be another way,
there has to be.

Well, if whoever has the Nova Charm
is in charge of Starlight Ridge,

then there's only one thing to do.

We're getting that charm back.

[eerie music]

[growling]

Wait for it.

[growling]

Now!

[gurgling]

[gasps]
Hide!

[growling]

[gurgling]

There's got to be a way to stop her!

Well, everypony has a weakness.

Exactly! We just need to figure out hers.

What does Allura care about?

The portal, the stars,
the Aurora Flares...

Is this why you were being so strange
about the Aurora Flares earlier?

-Because of Allura?
-Yeah. Sorry about that.

But when we're happy
and having a great time,

the Aurora Flares blast across the sky!
We can't help it.

Allura uses her powers to trick us
into feeling happy.

She forces us to make
the flares against our will.

-That's horrible.
-Normally, I'm all about being happy!

But being tricked into it
does not sound right.

That's why whenever she leaves,
we celebrate Starshine Time!

A time when we make
the flares happen by choice.

-Our real happiness.
-Everypony deserves to be happy.

Mm-hmm, real happy.

Why does Allura want
to do such bad things?

Has she always been this way?

[cooing]

[Violet] All I know is that
Allura's determined

to find that other realm
by any means possible.

And she has the Nova Charm.
So, she's in charge.

Then we're just going to have to find
a way to make Allura give it back.

[all agreeing]

We've tried to steal it from her.
But it's impossible!

Then it's time to get creative!

Did somepony say "creative"?

That's ah, kinda my thang.

[chuckling]

[squeaking]

You're right, Twitch.
I haven't seen Violet Frost in forever.

Where is that pony?

You fool.
She's right over there.

[sniffing, squeaking]

Fine.

[gasps]

Violet Frost, what are you doing?

Hi, Allura! Happy to see you!

I'm just looking for that special star.

See? She's in the trance.
What do you want?

-You're annoying me.
-[squeaking]

How is Violet resisting the trance?

Oh, I made her some special
crystal snowball earplugs!

Just enough to muffle the spell.

The special star.

-What did you say?
-The special star.

-I found it.
-Protect the charm.

Mm-hmm!

I don't believe it. Show me!

A portal! I did it!

I finally did it!

Give me that.

Now I can use this star to open any portal
and go to whichever realm I desire.

[squeaking]

-What do we do now?
-We've gotta distract him.

[yawning]

Or lull him!

[humming]

[singing softly]

[whistling, snoring]

-[laughing]
-You did it!

-Way to go, Pipp!
-Nopony can resist

falling asleep to my lullabies.
Especially that one!

[whistling, snoring]

[grunting]

How much longer do you think
we have to pull these for?

I have no idea, but my hooves
are getting tired.

[groaning]

A fake.
[growling]

Oh...

-[gasps]
-Oopsy.

-[growling]
-[chuckling]

Double oops.

[hissing]

[exclaiming]

-[Violet] We got the charm!
-[exclaiming]

[growling]

I can't believe you got
the Nova Charm back!

You saved us!

We're finally free!

Six little ponies wandered
into my territory

and tried to destroy my plans?

Who do you think you are?

I know who we are.
We're the Auroricorns' friends!

And we're not going to let anypony,
or not-pony hurt them!

[laughing]
An Alicorn? How cute.

-[squeaking]
-It's too late, Allura. You lost!

-We have the Nova Charm now!
-Lost?

You think I need that pathetic charm
to have what I want?

-[growling purr]
-Ha-ha.

I don't need the charm to do anything.

I can have whatever I want.

All I need is the power
of "purr-suasion".

[chuckling]

[exclaiming]

[growling purr]

This place is so great!

Maybe I'll let the Auroricorns
have a little fun with you two

before I make you join them.

-[laughing]
-What do we do, Sunny?

We can't lose our beautiful
Starlight Ridge to Allura!

And you won't!

[laughing]

Huh...

Huh. That was weird.

[gasps]
Violet Frost.

Didn't you say the snow here
had healing magic?

Yeah. But I'd never actually seen it used.

[gasps]
That's it.

That's why Izzy's earplugs worked.

-What?
-They're made of snow.

The snow here is special.
Very special!

-Huh?
-It's a cure!

[laughing]

[grunts]

[squeaking]

[gasping]

-Sunny, you did it!
-But how?

The snow here is special.
Just like the Auroricorns!

What are you going to do?

Keep throwing snow at everypony?

That's exactly what we're going to do.

Crystal snowball fight!

Come on, everypony!
Keep throwing snowballs!

But she's been controlling us for so long.

Can we really beat her?

Yes. We can!
I know we can!

Sunny made me remember how special
of a place Starlight Ridge is.

And it doesn't stop there!

Starlight Ridge is special, but what
makes it extra special is all of you!

You are the Auroricorns!
You're amazing!

It's true! I know how you all must feel
being under the hoof

of somepony that's angry
and just wants to control you,

but it doesn't have to be this way.

The only way to get what you want is
to have the courage to defend yourself.

They're all right.
Nopony deserves this!

Quiet! Your plan will never work!

I'll just entrance you all again!

Well, that won't stop us from trying!

[laughing]

Whoa, that... that was kind of fun.

[laughing]

[squeaking]

[gurgling]

[groans]

Oh!

[laughing]

[screaming]

[laughing]

[growling]

[Sunny] Wow! Look at that!

[laughing]

-[gasps]
-[laughing]

That's it!
When you're happy, you're powerful!

So, we need to have real fun.

And be truly happy in order
to take back our town!

That's a great idea!

I now declare today...

Super Starshine Time!

All right!

[growling]

No!

Stop singing! Listen to me!

I'm your leader!
[grunts]

[gasps]

-[growling]
-[groaning]

I'll get you back, ponies!

I want out of this realm
and I always get what I want!

[gibberish]

Oh, I can't believe we're finally free!

And now, you know your secret weapon.

Fun, singing, and lots of snowballs!

Hmm... Now how do we get the Nova Charm
out of its ice cage?

[gurgling]

[cheering]

You ponies are incredible.
And it's only right

that you all become our new leaders!

[laughing]

We can't lead Starlight Ridge!

-We have to go back to Equestria.
-Hmm!

But if not you all, then who?

-Why you, of course!
-Me?

You've proven to be an incredible
leader today.

-Hmm!
-I'm not special enough to lead, am I?

Violet Frost! Violet Frost!

[all] Violet Frost! Violet Frost!

Violet Frost! Violet Frost!

Being a leader isn't
about possessing a charm, Violet.

It's about doing the right thing.
Having hope!

-And having confidence.
-And courage.

-Empathy.
-Kindness.

And don't forget about creativity!

You've proven to have all of that.

Okay. I'll do it.
I'll lead Starlight Ridge.

[cheering, laughing]

Now what?
How will you get home?

[Sunny] There must be a way to get back.

I'm not so sure.
The portal is closed.

We're lost and now we're stuck!

Allura couldn't figure it out,
what makes us think we can?

At least this isn't the worst place
to be stuck.

We are all so thankful
that you ponies helped us.

But it was at the expense
of you getting home.

We're so sorry.

Hey! It's okay.

[screaming]

Woopsies! I'll get it.

[bright music]

Hmm... Sometimes,
you just have to be creative.

What are you talking about, Izzy?

-Wait a second. You don't think...
-What's going on?

The Nova Charm was the star!

You mean, Allura had it the whole time?

[laughing]
I guess her greed and anger stopped her

from seeing the special thing
right before her eyes.

I guess this means you can go home now.

Equestria, here we come!

[all exclaiming]

Thank you for everything.

We will never forget you all.

Well, I guess we better get going then.

Uh... Uh...

-I'm coming with you!
-I'm sorry, what did you just say?

I have been dreaming of seeing
the rest of the world

for as long as I can remember.

And I couldn't be happier
to call Starlight Ridge home,

but... I'm ready for my next adventure.

I want to see what else is out there!

And what better way to do it
than with new friends?

So, if it's okay, I would like
to come with you.

[coughs]
Are you kidding?

-[sighing]
-Of course you can come!

-[cheering]
-We'd love to have you!

New friend! New friend! New friend! Ooh!

I'm so proud of you, Comet.
You're gonna have the most amazing time.

I know it.
One more thing!

-I want you to have this.
-But don't you need it?

I think it's time we did away
with the old rules

and started making some new ones.

It belongs with you, Izzy.

That way, you can always find
your way back to Starlight Ridge.

Plus, now I know that the Nova Charm
isn't what makes a leader.

Caring about your fellow ponies is.

[laughing]

Love it!

Hoof to heart.

You're gonna do great.

[epic music]

[laughing]

We're so excited you came with us, Comet!

Whoa! You ponies look different now.

Oh yeah. This is what we really look like.
Surprise!

[laughing]

I've been in Equestria one minute
and I'm already learning so much.

I have a feeling you're gonna
super love it here!

And if you ever do miss home,
we know exactly how to get back.

Speaking of home,
I think it's time we head back to ours.

I think we've finally earned
ourselves that nap!

[laughing]

[Comet] Oh wow. I'm one of the best
nappers at Starlight Ridge.

It is amazing. Sometimes,
I can nap for like hours on end and...

More Razzleberry cocoa
for me please!

-I'll take another Apple Oat!
-You got it!

You're the best leader ever, Violet Frost.

[mimicking the ponies]

I'm so glad Comet and the others
made it through the portal.

But they definitely made
Starshine Time a little bit brighter.

Yeah, Equestria is very lucky to have
them.

[exclaiming]

What is it?

[squeaking]

What did you say?!

[squeaking]

What? Those ponies found the portal?

[squeaking]

-[mysterious voice] You fool.
-[gasps]

[mysterious voice] You had the star
the whole time!

Don't worry, brother.

I'll get it back.

[growling]

There's so much to see,
so much to learn! I can't...

Whoa! Wait!

We are so happy you're here, Comet.

Yeah! We're gonna show you
all there is to see in Equestria.

And with Opaline and Allura gone,
there's nothing but fun to be had!

[gasps]
Let's start right now!

Comet! How do you feel about a game
where we balance yarn ba*ls on our heads?

[screaming]

Ta-da!

[laughing]
