02x05 - The Cutie Mark Mix-Up

[bunniefuu]

(♪♪)

Thank you, everypony,
for coming to the grand opening

of Maretime Bay's new
Community Garden of Magic!

(Cheering)
(Izzy): Yeah! Community garden! Woo!

This will be your place

to grow fresh foods,
foster friendships,

and have fun in the fields!
Take it away, Sheriff Hitch!

- Thanks, Sunny! I'm very excited to...
- (Izzy): Aw yeah!

That's our friend!
Nopony interrupt him when he talks!

Oh, ah. Thanks, Izzy.

(Clears throat)
Welcome, everypony!

As Sunny said, this garden
is the best place in town

to learn how to harness
your Earth Pony Magic...

Flora Magic!

Note to self: Earth Pony powers
are officially called "Flora Magic".

Hmm. I like it!

Shh!

Don't interrupt him!

Keep talking about
what you were talking about!

Ahh… Thanks, Izzy.

So yeah, that's what we've been calling it!
You know,

because of the Unicorn Float Magic
and Pegasi Flight magic,

it's kind of a natural thing to name it.
Flora…

You're right, Kurtle. I'm rambling!

As Sheriff of Maretime Bay,
it is my duty and great honor

to hereby dedicate this garden to...

Do we each get our own spot?!

(Hitch): Yes.
(belching)

There are "practice
plots" inside, ready

for you to start
planting and growing...

(crowd gasps)
Ah!

It's open! I call best spot!

- (Screaming)
- Slow down!

(Chirping)

(Dramatic music)

(Rumbling)

There's enough room for everypony!

(Gasps)

(Slurps)

(Giggles)
(Hitch): Thank you, Kurtle!

I am good at dedication speeches,
maybe too good.

(laughing, chirping)

Dibs on this plot!

(Squeaking)

What was that?

Don't worry, I'll fix this.

What's going on?

My speech might have made
the Earth Ponies too excited.

They're kinda… trampling everything!

- What do we do?
- Watch your hooves, everypony!

But also, don't worry! With a little bit
of love, I'm sure we can fix it!

Oh, yeah, I guess we can!

(♪♪)

(Exclamation)

(Crowd): Awesome! Neat!
Sweet! Very Cool! Amazing!

(Squeaking)

Whoa! Careful there!

We don't want another
Glimmerberry incident on our hooves.

Or on our manes. Oh…

That's exactly why a designated spot
to practice is perfect.

And just look at all these amazing fruits!

Like those! Uh, what are those?

Pearnana-melons!

Okay, that actually sounds really tasty.

Go ahead and get creative, everypony.

But let's just be mindful of the…

(Chittering)

(Sighs)
Wildlife.

(Izzy): Oh, I can't even belizzle my eyes!

It's like a parade, but not on purpose.

- Belizzle?
- I said what I said!

Just look at these animals going wild!

Ah! Great idea, Iz!

Cute animals are great for the feed.

(Shutter clicking)

(Panicked squeaking)

I can't even… I don't have words.

Try "belizzle"! It works whenever
you can or can't belizzle things.

(Pipp): Oh, no! They're stampeding
towards the Bright house!

Get out of the way, us!

I got it!

(Sneezing)

Huh. Maybe I didn't "got it".

Well, I did!

(Izzy sneezing)

And… posted.

- Great.
- Why are you all layin' around?

I need backup with these critters!

Can't you just ask them to chill out?
You literally speak "animal"!

That doesn't mean they'll listen.
So can you help?!

Sorry, what? I wasn't listening.

See?!

Of course we'll be your deputies!

Thanks. Because while you all handle that,
I gotta get back to the garden.

Sunny seemed stressed.

(Grunting)

Don't be stressed, Sunny!
We're deputies now!

We're going to help!

- (Whimpering)
- Cloudpuff! What are you doing here?

(Barking)

Keeping an eye on Pipp and Zipp
for Queen Haven, huh?

Yeah, that does sound boring.

Want to help me instead?

(Barking)

(Opaline): What is lacked in magical might,

conjure from my Alicorn light!

(Grunting)

Oh!

Ugh!

So… do you need anything?

I was doing fine,
until you ruined my concentration.

You know that my power is…
compromised.

No, I didn't.

Good answer.

But it doesn't change the fact
that it's still not enough.

Magic is back, Misty.

It's back and those silly little ponies
have it by accident!

Accident? We can try that, too!

(Opaline): Stop!

That silly Unity magic is just the spark.

Only I can possess the flame!

(♪♪)

Aw!

Don't get attached, Misty.

It's a sign of weakness.

Oh I wasn't! I was just impressed
by your magic.

Of course you were.

Nothing is more important than magic.

And when my magic mouse sneaks
into their magic house,

I will finally know the secret of how
they're harnessing the Prisbeam power.

(Sighs)

(Bright music)

Sunny?! Are you okay?

Yeah, just serving up some smoothies!
Are you okay?

Yeah, just taking care of the animals!

Good, so we're both okay.

- (Sighs)
- Too bad the dedication was a disaster.

- Did I ruin it?
- Not at all.

But I actually think
it gave everypony a chance

to practice their magic
while fixing the mess.

- Easy sugar snap peasy!
- Easy sugar snap peasy?

Easy for you to say, you're not Sheriff.

What does that mean?

- (Sighing)
- It was supposed to be my moment.

I had Big Scissors!
I'm in charge.

I shouldn't be encouraging
chaos and smoothies!

"Chaos and smoothies"?
Now there's a headline!

- What's wrong with smoothies?
- Nothing!

But I have the hardest job of anypony
and what-pony notices it?

(Sunny): Well, have you noticed how hard
I've been working?

I've been making smoothies
during this entire conversation!

True… But come on,
it's not like being Sheriff.

(Sunny): Yes, it is.

Well, it's easier than maintaining order.

(Sparky giggling)

(Barking)

(Grumbling)

(Squeaking softly)

(Grunting)

(Giggling)

Okay, so they're coming right for us.

But I have a plan!
I think… we should stop them!

Smart, smart. What's the plan?

Oh, that's it! That's the plan!

(Zipp): Heads up, ponies!

(Grunting)

(Barking)

I don't think you understand how much
pressure I'm under all the time!

Of course I do!

Do you even know how hard it is to be
the Alicorn in Maretime Bay?!

Everypony's watching.

I need to be a pony
that others can count on.

So do I.
(groans)

The Sheriff is the backbone of a community,
you know?!

(Both): You just don't understand
what it's like to be me!

And you never will!

(Sneezing)

(♪♪)

There, now you're back outside.

Who's a cute bunny?
You are! Yes, you are!

(laughing)
(Izzy): Aw!

(Barking)

Cloudpuff? What are you doing here?

Ugh! Mom sent you to check on me,
didn't she?

(Izzy): Aw! You're so cute!

(Hitch): Everypony be happy!

Hmm…

Follow your feels. You do you.

Hitch, you're not helping.

I have a line and nopony is asking
for anything on the menu.

We need order!
And we need it now!

Just do what you think is right.
You know? Go with your glow.

Litter? Bup, bup, bup!
Better pick up that cup!

They're acting weird. Very, very weird.

(Phone beeps)

Hi, friends. What's up?

Kinda busy, Zipp.

Hey, Zipp! Want to help me show ponies
around the magical garden?

(Zipp): Why are you talking like that?

I can understand
that you want something,

but I don't know exactly…

Maybe pearnana-melon?

This doesn't make any sense.

You two seem…
How do I put this… off?

Oh, yeah. Ever since Hitch
started that argument, I've felt off.

What?! No way, you started it!

Hmm.

Huh.

(Gasps)
Sunny! Hitch! Stop.

Now don't freak out but…

Your Cutie Marks are switched!

(Both): They are?! Oh! They are!

No, no, no!
How did this happen?!

I don't know.
But I'll get to the bottom… of it.

(Chuckles)

You say you started feeling funny
when, exactly?

When I was explaining
to Hitch how running

a smoothie cart isn't
always smooth sailing.

And then I told her I knew that,

and it hardly compares
to the pressures of being Sheriff!

Mm-hmm. Then what?

- Then Sparky burped and...
- That was not a burp. I was a hiccup.

It was not!

Cutie Marks swapped…
and personalities, too!

I think I might know what's going on here.

Catch you on the flippity-flip!

Wait, are you not going to help us
figure out how to switch back?!

Not until I confirm my theory!

So… Uh, we're stuck like this.

I guess I'll do your job for now.

Good. Then I will have it easy
when I do yours!

Ha! Not as easy as me.

As if!

Alright! Who wants smoothies?

Okay, critters. Sheriff Sunny here.

Let's get you all back to your homes
in the garden.

Oh!

(Overlapping chatter)
Ah! Okay!

Alright, critters,
there's a new Sheriff in town.

You can understand me, right?

Oh!

Then why aren't you listening?!

(Chirping)

(Birds chirping)

(Chittering)

(Chirping)

This is not good.

Gotcha! Don't worry, we've got this!

Now, stay!

Look what I found!

"Snackerdoodles: Perfect for Cloudpuff

or any other critter
who needs to be

convinced to just
go outside already!"

Hey, that's perfect!

(Humming)

(Gasps)
It's working!

(Barking, chittering)

Ah!

The label didn't say anything about that.

Look on the bright side, Iz!
It looked adorable.

(Screaming)
Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!

Adorable!

Ah!

(♪♪)

Now that we're on the inside,

it's only a matter of time before I obtain
what's powering that Prisbeam magic.

Then we can harness their powers
and get your Alicorn magic back.

I'll take my rightful place,

reigning over all of Equestria
the way Alicorns were meant to!

And I'll make sure those little
"friendship ponies"

won't get to use their magic ever again.

Wait. Does that include me?

Don't be foolish, Misty.

You'll be allowed to keep your powers
once you get your Cutie Mark.

If you prove to me
that you're worthy of one.

I will. I'll do anything.

- (Panting)
- Why won't they leave?!

We're never going have a regular place
to live again!

This is just how it is now!

Don't worry.
I'm here to talk to the animals!

No offense, but isn't this more
of a Hitch thing?

Not today.

- (Gasps)
- Ah!

Listen up, animal friends!

It's time to skedaddle.

But, ugh! But I know you understood me!

It appears that Sunny has been
Hitch-Switched,

but still doesn't have his full powers.
Hmm…

What are you doing?! Taking notes?!

Don't you stand there, help me!

Ah!

Can't, I'm working. Hoof to heart!

Ugh!

This isn't so hard.
I don't know what Sunny was talking about.

You just gotta follow the rules!

I mean, recipes.
Gotta follow the recipes!

Um, excuse me?
My smoothie is too smooth.

- Can you chunkify it?
- What? But I followed the recipe.

There's the problem.
Sunny always makes them on the fly. Hmm.

Okay, I'll make you another chunkier one.

Hey, hey, hey! I'll take the usual.

- What's the usual?
- It's the smoothie I usually get.

Sunny knows what it is.

Sunny also chit-chats with us
while she blends.

You've been too quiet!

No recipes? Usual orders? Chit-chat?

I didn't know Sunny
had to do all this extra stuff.

I thought it was just blended fruit!

Hmm…

Looks like this switch thing
isn't working for you, is it?

What makes you say that?

Okay, fine!
I'll admit it, I just can't be Sunny.

So how did I get her Cutie Mark?

I think I might have an idea.
But take me through it one more time.

Well, first, Sunny and I were arguing
about who has an easier job

and I said it was clearly her.

Oh, but Sparky wouldn't stop hiccuping
dragon fire magic...

Dragon fire magic?

- That's it! That's got to be it!
- What is?!

Oh! Uh…

(Gasps)
Hmm…

Sunny is in trouble at the Bright house!

- There are animals everywhere!
- She is?

There are?! I have to save her!

Also, you probably should've
led with that, Detective!

Don't worry, everypony!
Sunny will be back soon!

Phew! Great Sheriff, but Hitch cannot
make smoothies to save his hide.

Ugh!

(♪♪)

(Chirping, chittering)

- (Panting)
- To the left!

I'm going up!

Stop it, every critter!
I know you know what I'm saying!

Sunny! Hitch is in trouble! He needs you!

He is? He does?! Hitch!

I hope this works.

I have to help Sunny!

I have to help Hitch!

(Both): Oh!

Ouch! I hope I didn't make this worse.

- Sunny?
- Hitch?

I'm sorry, I thought you had it
easier than me.

- You don't.
- I'm sorry too.

I don't think you have it easy at all!

You're a pillar of the community!

So are you!

Maybe we both are good at what we do
because of who we are.

Well, nobody can be Hitch like you can.

And nopony can be Sunny like you can!

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Oh yeah!

(Both): Secret handshake time!

Up high! Down low!
Hitch it to a post!

Flip it Sunny-side up,
and on a piece of toast!

(♪♪)

Nice work, Detective Me!

Maybe I'm starting to get a handle on this
"Cutie Mark Magic" stuff.

So, you think there's still time
to fix all the messes we made today?

Only if we do what we each do best!

Oops. It must've gotten squished
when we crashed.

(laughing)

(♪♪)

I don't know much longer
we can keep this up!

Ah!

Sheriff Hitch is here, little buddies.
Come on, now!

Ah! It's a miracle!

I hear you've all been acting up.

(Squeaking)

(♪♪)

Here's your chunky smoothie!
Here's the usual!

Ooh, is that a new book
you're reading, Seashell?

Yeah! It's about this tree that grows
special crystals called "elements".

Wow, cool! Tell me more!

After you. Go ahead.
Thanks for visiting, friends.

Well, well, well.

It looks like we both did pretty good,
once we started doing what we were good at.

You said it. Is that all of them?

(Clattering)

(Sparky panting)

Sparky, leave that mouse alone!

- Did you see that?!
- It just went "poof"!

Was that a mouse? Or a ghost?!

- (Gasps)
- Daily mystery total: Three.

Cutie Mark Switch, disappearing mouse,
and this smoothie.

(Slurping)

Mm. It still doesn't taste right.

- (Sniffing)
- I know just the thing!

Ah! That was it!
Case closed.

Today was pretty wild, huh?

Yeah! I couldn't even belizzle it!

But at least everything is back
in order again.

Now that sounds like something
Hitch would say!

Oh no! Not again!

(Sigh of relief)

(laughing)

Ah-ha! Finally, it's all becoming clear.

- Misty!
- Yes, Opaline?

I need you to sneak into
the Crystal Bright house

and steal me that lantern.

It holds power. Prisbeam power.

Aww! Can I keep him? As a little friend.

(Squeaking)

No! No need for friends
when you have a job to do.

Now stay focused!

Yes, Opaline. I'm ready.

(Menacing music)

Thanks for the help.

I'm glad to help make sure things
are running smoothly,

just as long as it's not smoothies.

(laughs)

I'm just happy that the community garden
is officially open.

Even if the animals do still seem hesitant
to go back inside.

- (Chittering)
- Ah! Oh no…

Sunny! Hitch! Come look!

What happened?

See for yourself.

(♪♪)

(Chittering, chirping)

What is all this?!

It's your "critter corner"!

Now the animals have
a place to chill

if the garden gets to be
magically way too much.

Or if they want a solid lead on hanging
with their best buddy, Hitch!

Awesome!

(Birds chirping)

(laughs)
A birdseed smoothie?

Sure, I'll ask Sunny to add it
to the menu for you. Why not?!

You were saying, Kurtle?
Yes, lettuce is also nice.

(laughter)

So it looks like
you two worked things out, huh?

I think we just needed a little trot
in each other's horseshoes.

Even if we didn't want to admit it.

(laughing)

(♪♪)
