[bunniefuu]

[gurgling]

[laughing]

Aw, hi there!

Hey, wait up!
[laughing]

[laughing]

Ah!
[grunting]

[gasping]

[Misty] Wow!

[bright mysterious music]

[gasping]

Where'd that come from?

Woah!

[rustling]

Huh?

[screaming]

[gasping]

What was that about?

It felt so real.

Like it's happened before.

Or it's going to.

That's new.

Something is definitely up.

[bell dinging]

[giggling]

[squeaking]

I think we're in danger.

[all gasping]

Is it Opaline?

-That's not what I meant.
-Opaline's here?

-No, I'm trying to tell you that...
-Look alive, ponies. And don't panic.

Okay, we're under attack.
But don't be afraid.

[singing]

What? You said not to panic!

Singing keeps me calm, okay?

If you could just listen.

I, Izzy Moonbow,
of the Bridlewood Moonbows,

call upon the Unity Crystals

to protect this Brighthouse
and everypony in it.

Listen to me!

I should clarify.

I don't think we're in danger
right now.

[all] Phew!

But we absolutely could be soon.

-[Hitch] What?
-No!

-What do you mean?
-Okay, back up.

From the top.
What's going on?

I had this scary dream,
but it felt real.

There was this tall creature...

Do you usually have scary dreams?

I've been having a lot of them, actually.

I'm exhausted!

-I wonder what they mean.
-Oh! I love dream analysis.

Like, did you know that everypony
in your dreams is actually you?

Ah! So I'm actually a tap-dancing
tube of paint

and the queen of the hermit crabs?!

-Yes.
-Or... maybe it wasn't a dream at all.

Maybe it was a vision!

-Of the future?
-Exactly.

You told us Opaline won't stop 'til
she has all the power of Equestria, right?

And she's kinda tall.

So, the dream creature must be her!

I don't know.
I couldn't really see the creature.

It was just a big shadow.

Hmm... So it could be a new threat?

Okay, describe it to me.

Don't leave out any details.
They could be crucial.

Uh... I can't really remember now.

I just knew something very bad
was about to happen.

Focus, Misty.
If we don't decode your vision,

we could be missing a vital clue
to Opaline's next move!

Go easy on her, Zipp.
Misty's been through a lot.

Maybe these bad dreams are because
you're still sleeping at the lair?

Yeah! You don't have to do this whole
"double agent" dance anymore, Misty!

No. I can't stop until I figure out
how to beat Opaline.

I don't know what I'd do if anything else
happened to you ponies... or Sparky!

Don't worry, I'm gonna help you
crack this mystery wide open.

We all will!
Take a breath and think back.

What else did you see?

[Misty] There was this big beautiful tree.

Kind of like the one you planted for me
in Zephyr Heights.

But this one was in a forest
and it had a door.

Hmm...
[gasping]

That sounds just like the Wishing Tree
in Bridlewood!

Other than the door part.
Could that be the one?

I... I don't know.

I don't think I've ever actually been
to Bridlewood.

I was just pretending to know about it
during our Unicorn sleepover.

[gasping]

I'm so sorry, Izzy, I just...

A unicorn who's never
been to Bridlewood?!

What are we waiting for?
We have to take you there. Now, now!

I have always wanted to see
where the other unicorns live.

I'll show you the Crystal Tea Room,
and then we'll trot through the plaza

and go to my house,
and then we'll go skipping!

[clears throat]
And we'll see if Bridlewood helps Misty

remember anything else
about her vision!

-Uh, yeah, that too!
-[Hitch] Oh no.

Come on, buddy.
You still don't want to play?

What's going on with Sparky?
He seems so tired lately.

He thought he would get his energy back
after Opaline drained his Dragonfire,

but he's been sleeping for days.

I'm getting worried.

Well, the Bridlewood forest is known
to have many healing properties,

especially the Wishing Tree!

I'm not sayin' that Bridlewood
has it all, but... it has it all!

-It's worth a shot.
-To the Mare Stream!

[bright music]

This is your pilot, Zipp Storm, speaking.

I'm expecting clear skies
and smooth conditions

as we cruise into our destination:
Bridlewood.

Thank moons for that!

Woo! Listen to that unicorn speak.

Soon you'll know Bridlewood
like the back of your hoof.

If there's time, I wanna forage for some
exotic forest berries for my smoothies!

Do you think Alphabittle
will have recommendations?

-Alpha-whattle?
-Take a good look, Pippsqueaks!

'Cause this is the last
you'll see of my muzzle for a bit!

Today, I'm going to unplug and practice
"mega-pega-mindfulness".

And I'll be scoping out supplies
for my upcoming

all-natural Hoof and Mane product line!

Follow me for more details
for when it drops.

But, y'know, don't follow me today.

Get off your screens and get outside!
That's where I'll be!

Pipp Pipp. Bye Bye!

I really hope Izzy's right about
those magical healing powers.

I'll try anything to help Sparky
feel like himself again.

I'm sure we'll find something
to help cure him.

And find the answers to Misty's vision!

[Zipp] Starting our descent!

Misty, welcome to Bridlewood.

[bright music]

It's so... beautiful.

Welcome to my home!

Villa Izzy.

Tree Sweet Tree.

[Misty] This is all yours?

Oh, well it doesn't so much belong to me
as it's a living part of the forest.

-[melody playing]
-It's sort of like I've been tasked

with tending to it and leaving it
more beautiful than I found it.

-Know what I mean?
-I think so.

And now it's yours, too!
All of Bridlewood is!

Wow!

[Misty] These were all made by unicorns?

You bet your crystals!

Every last one!

[groaning]

So Misty, anything jogging
your memory yet?

Actually, yes.

Really?! Another vision?

Oh. No, sorry.

I meant this art. I've never seen
such beautiful images of ponies

who look just like me before!

Or have I?

[sighing]

Give her time.

I don't know how much time we have!

[Izzy singing]

These macarons
are a Bridlewood delicacy

made of edible fluffy-flowers.

Oh! Cute!

Oh, right. Mega-pega-mindfulness.

[gasping]
Neigh way!

When I don't record it,
I can really taste it!

[gurgling sadly]

[unicorn] Aw, the little dragon
wants a ride. So adorable!

It is adorable. But this is so unlike the
usual, off-the-walls-with-energy Sparky!

That is incredible!

And strangely familiar.

Taste can unlock new pathways
in the brain.

Are these treats making you
think of anything new?

It's making me think...
I need more!

-[crunching]
-[sighing]

These crystals have gotta spark
something for you.

Actually, you're right.

They are just like the ones in my dream.

Here, Sparky.
Try holding this bliss-quartz.

[gurgling]

Oh, good eye, Sunny!
Bliss-quartz boosts up positive energy!

And helps you see things clearly.

Clearly... clearly... clearly...

Here, Misty. You try.

It feels... nice?

-And?
-And it's so... pretty?

Ugh! It doesn't seem like you're
responding to anything here.

Just go easy on her.

I am, but we're running out of time.

[gasping]

[eerie music]

[giggling]

[muffled voice] Misty!

[Misty] Huh?

[Zipp] Misty! Misty! Misty!

Are you okay?

Look, her Cutie Mark!

It worked!
You had another vision, didn't you?

Ugh... I don't think it was a vision.

It felt like... a memory.

A memory?!

You mean... Maybe you are from Bridlewood?

I don't... It's too foggy.
I can't remember.

We must be on the right track!
What did you see?

I think I was a filly in that playground.

[gasping]
I played there when I was a filly!

Uh, who were you with?

I want to know, but I just don't...

You must remember something
from your fillyhood.

Before Opaline?

Just think!

I don't want to anymore.

It's okay, Misty.

You don't have to have
all the answers right now.

I'm sure you'll remember eventually.

Right, Zipp?

Right, of course.

It's okay, Misty. I'm sorry.

-[screaming for joy]
-[crashing]

[giggling]

[bright music]

[singing]

What's that?

That's Alphabittle's shop:
the Crystal Tea Room!

Oh you'll probably meet him later.

But first, we need to visit
the Wishing Tree

to see if it's the tree of your dreams!

And to find something even more powerful
than bliss-quartz to help Sparky.

[gurgling]

You know Alphabittle,
you should really consider opening

a second Tea Room in Zephyr Heights.

The Pegasi would go wild
for a shop like this.

-Ya think?
-And, then I could see you more often.

Ugh. With my royal duties,

it's hard for me to make it to Bridlewood
as often as I'd like.

Well, that would be nice.

But I could never leave Bridlewood.

Why ever not?

I just, I need to be here in case.

-In case of what, Alphie?
-In case of all sorts of things!

It takes a lot of work to run a tea shop.

Anyway, what do you want? Your usual?

With oat milk, I assume?

Hmm...

Izzy, you were right!

This is the same tree from my vision!

Let me see.

The Bunnicorn led me here, but then...

there was a glowing door.

Where is it?

Everypony split up, look for that door!

This is weird. I like it!

[humming]

[Pipp] No door this way!

[Hitch] I've got nothing either!

[gasping]

Hello?! Is anypony there?!

[mysterious voice] Misty!

I'm right here!

[mysterious voice] Misty, come back!

[Misty] Why can't they hear me?!

[mysterious voice] Misty, where are you?

[Misty] I'm here!

[gasping]

Help me!

[crying]

[crying]

Misty! Oh, what happened?

Hey, hey, you're safe now.

I remember more of it now.
I did live here when I was small.

But then one day, I went out
collecting Glowpaz crystals

and I got lost in the forest,

and when I tried to make my way back,
Bridlewood... was gone.

Just... gone.

[gasping]

Misty, your Cutie Mark,
it's glowing stronger.

It's doing something to the tree. Look!

[bright music]

Your powers are changing
the Wishing Tree?!

Be present, Pipp.
I don't need to film this right now.

It's way better to be mindful.

[epic music]

-[gasping]
-Woah!

Did anybody get that on video?!

I... I did that?

[chuckling]
Whoa!

I think so.

[flapping sound]

What's that sound?

Is the tree vibrating?

No.

It... it sounds like...

[gasping]
No, it couldn't be.

I didn't think they were real.

You didn't think what was real?!

Ah! Oh!
[laughing]

Breezies!

[wings flapping]

[gurgling softly]

No way!

My dad always told me bedtime
ponytales about breezies.

-[phone beeping]
-What? Wait...

This is not content.
This is a real moment.

Experience it, Pipp.
[sighing]

Pleasure to meet you. I'm Princess
Pipp Petals of Zephyr Heights.

And you must be...

[high-pitched gibberish]

Tiny pixie pony of... tree?

What in the hay are breezies?!

And most importantly,
are they dangerous?

What?! Of course not.

[high-pitched gibberish]

They're just excited to see us!

[high-pitched gibberish]

These two say they haven't seen
other ponies for a long time.

You know Breezie language too?

It's our pony language.

But at too high of a speed for most
to understand them.

I can help with that!
Watch this.

What were you saying again?

[high-pitched gibberish]

[Zipp] Now, just slow it down.

[Breezie 1, playing back] We haven't seen
new friends for hundreds of moons!

We have a special treat for you!

[Breezie 2] Follow us, new friends.
The Night Market awaits!

Night Market?
What's that, Izzy?

[gasping]
I have no idea!

Something in Bridlewood
I never knew about?!

I've gotta see this!

[giggling]

[epic music]

Wow!

[bright music]

[high-pitched gibberish]

-[Misty] Wow!
-[Sparky gurgling]

[all gasping in awe]

How'd they do this?

It looks like it goes on forever!

I can't believe this has all been hiding
inside the Wishing Tree.

[high-pitched gibberish]

[breezie playing back] In these stalls,
there are magical items

and secrets that have been lost
to your ponykind for generations!

-Really?
-Hear that, Sparks?

This wonderful place has gotta have
something to get you

feeling better in no time!

And maybe more answers to my past.

Only one way to find out.

I understand if you're not ready to share
everything about your life with me.

But I feel like you're avoiding
my questions.

Breezies?!

Please stop changing the subject.

And that's nonsense,
there's no such thing as... Ah!

[gasping]
Oh my...

[barking]

It's okay, Cloudpuff, these are... ponies!

Uh, oh... Welcome to my shop.

May I offer you some... tea?

Hmm, well, okay. Sure, whatever you want!

It seems like they're trying
to tell us something.

Wow. You don't see this every day
or any day!

Ever! Hmm...

[barking]

Okay, everypony, I'm closing early.

Let's go see what this is about!

[Pipp] Oh... I can't use my phone

to look up which ingredients
would work in my new beauty line.

So I'll have to go on instinct.

Oh! How do you do that?

Like the Pegasi who came before me!

I'll base it on touch and smell.

[sniffing]

Oh, safflower, that could be nice.

[sniffing]
Oh, nuh-uh. Not that one.

[sniffing]
Oh!

I'm getting notes of grapeseed, jasmine...

[sniffing]
And glitter essence?

I'll take this one! How much?

[high-pitched gibberish]

Wait, wait, wait. I can't trade my phone.

I may be getting better
at this "being present" thing,

-but that is too far!
-[Izzy squeals]

This fabric will be perfect for new
curtains for the Crystal Brighthouse!

Oh, thank you unicorn ancestors

for guiding us to this secret trove
of treasures!

The Breezies said this oil has been used
to revitalize pony energy

since the earliest days of Equestria.

Maybe it'll work on dragons!

What do you think, Sparky?

[sniffing]
[gurgling]

[moaning]

[soft music]

[gasping]
This reminds me of something

my dad used to have.
If only he could see me now,

perusing precious objects
thought to be lost to history!

He'd be so proud.
Or jealous!

[laughing]
So uh... how about you, Misty?

Getting any clues about...
Huh, Misty?

[breathing heavily]

[gasping]

[moaning nervously]

[indistinct chatter]

No!
[gasping]

What did you just see?!

I... I was shopping at a place
a little like this.

It was definitely Bridlewood.
Unicorns everywhere.

But I couldn't see who I was with.

I wonder what it was around here
that triggered the memory this time.

-[Zipp] Ah! Cloudpuff?!
-[barking]

[laughing]
Where did you come from?

-Mom must be here.
-[barking]

[Queen Haven laughing]

I'll be right back!

Darling, I didn't know you were here!

How lovely! Can you believe
this remarkable place?

I've never seen anything like this
in all my days.

So you're sayin' if I can correctly guess
what herbs you used in this tea,

you'll give me the whole bag?

You're on. I've never met a tea blend
I can't name in three sips!

Hmm...

[grunting]

[laughing]

Hey sis, how's the
mega-pega-mindfulness going?

Amazingly.

I've never felt more clear.

Can't say the same
for these breezies though.

[high-pitched gibberish]

[Breezie 1, playing back] I've never
seen magic like this before.

I tried to take it away from them,
but they just started crying.

I think they might have a real problem.

[Sunny] Mind if I stop here?
Those fruits look out of this world!

Or should I say "inside this tree"?

[laughing]

Because inside the tree... Ah, okay.

Sure, I'll... wait over here.

[high-pitched gibberish]

Uh, what? Me?

[high-pitched gibberish]

[Misty] Hey, wait up!

[high-pitched gibberish]

A key? But I don't understand.

What is this for?

"This enchanted key will take you
to the place you most want to go."

One time use only?!

Why is this so familiar?

It belongs to the door
in my memory.

But how did you know...
What, where did you go? Hello?

Sunny? Wait, no!

Alphie! Your Cutie Mark!

Look at that! Must be
the magical properties of this tea.

Or the thrill of a new challenge!

Saddles off to you!

I haven't tasted oolong that smooth
in... ooh, a long time.

Hm, that's so strange.

That's been happening
to our unicorn friend all day, too.

You mean Izzy?

No... A new friend.

You haven't met her yet
because she was living...

You know, never mind! It's a long story.

Oh, here they are.
I'll introduce you right now!

Uh... where's Misty?

I last saw her at the Berry Booth.

I thought she'd left to find you!

-[both gasping]
-We gotta find her.

-Misty, where are you?
-Come back!

-Misty?
-Come back!

Where did she go?

She's... gone.

[ominous music]
