Transcripts/My Little Pony: Make Your Mark (special)

:[wind whistling]
:[birds chirping]
:[whoosh!]
:[heist music]
:[thudding]
:Zipp Storm: Hmmm...
:[window creaks]
:Zipp Storm: Aah! [grunts]
:Pipp Petals: [over radio] So did you get it yet, Zipp?
:Zipp Storm: Almost.
:Pipp Petals: [over radio] Well, hurry uuuuup!
:Zipp Storm: On it. Maximum sneaky engaged.
:[hoofsteps approaching]
:[heist music]
:Zipp Storm: Hey, Mom.
:[beep]
:[door opens]
:Zipp Storm: Uh...
:[glass clinks]
:Zipp Storm: Mission accomplished!
:Pipp Petals: [over radio] Good! Now fly fast!
:Zipp Storm: [chuckles] No problems with that.
:Tiny Pegasus: Aah! Watch out!
:Zipp Storm: Heads up, everypony!
:Tiny Pegasus: I'm so sorry. Thank you, Princess Zipp.
:Zipp Storm: Zipp. Just call me Zipp. And don't worry about it. The magic from the Unity Crystals in the Brighthouse is new to all of us. It takes practice.
:[bzzzt]
:Sunny Starscout: Should I start now, or...?
:Pipp Petals: [groans] Where is she? I really wanted to use my—
:Zipp Storm: Lucky microphone?
:Izzy Moonbow: There she is.
:Pipp Petals: What took you so long? Don't tell me you were sneaking around the palace again. [sighs] You know you can just enter through the main doors. It's our house.
:Zipp Storm: But if Mom knew I was there, I'd get stuck doing one of her random princess lessons.
:Pipp Petals: Good point. Okay, Sunny. Just remember. Pretend you're talking to us and not, like, all of Equestria, and you'll do great.
:Sunny Starscout: Uhhh...
:Pipp Petals: You're live...
:[beep!]
:Pipp Petals: ...now!
:Sunny Starscout: Like, "now" now? Uh... Hey, everypony! I'm Sunny Starscout, and I live here in Maretime Bay with my friends. [laughs] A lot has changed around here in the past few months. Maretime Bay used to be the place just us Earth ponies live, just like how unicorns always stayed in Bridlewood and Pegasi never left Zephyr Heights. But when we found the three Unity Crystals and brought them back together, it brought us back together! All pony kinds were reunited in friendship! Now anypony can live... anywhere! And... we have magic again! [squeals]
:[thud]
:Izzy Moonbow: Doot-doo-doo! Well, the unicorns and Pegasi do. [giggles] Ta-daaaah! Now you, Sunny. Show everypony what you can do.
:Pipp Petals: Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah! Turn into an Alicorn! [squeals] That's an Earth pony, Pegasus, and unicorn all in one!
:Sunny Starscout: Uhhh... [laughs nervously] You know it doesn't really work like that, guys. I can't just, uh... Anyway! The point is, magic powers or not, I think everypony can agree that our lives are way more magical now that we're together again.
:Pipp Petals: [singing] You know iiiiit! Okay, Sunny! Do the thing!
:Sunny Starscout: Do you like super fun times? Are you interested in learning more about Earth pony traditions and tasting local treats? Do you want to see ponies sing in a big concert?
:Izzy Moonbow: Yes! You bet! And yeeees! [scatting]
:Sunny Starscout: Then you should come to our annual Maretime Bay Day Festival! For a day of fun in the sunshine! It's going to be a blast! And I'm not just talking about the fireworks show. [laughs] All pony kinds are welcome!
:Hitch Trailblazer: Oh! Oh! I love Maretime Bay Day! You gotta come check it out! The live Maretime music! The sand castle contest! The caramel ponycorn! Ah! It's the best!
:[bird slurps, chirps]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Hey! Give that back!
:Pipp Petals: [gasps] Hitch, my phone!
:[action music]
:Sander: Ooh!
:Diggy: [whimpers]
:Zipp Storm: [grunts]
:[trolley bell dinging]
:Zipp Storm: Aah!
:Conductor Pony: Aah!
:[trolley bell dinging]
:[magic shimmers, fizzles]
:Izzy Moonbow: [grunts]
:[crash!]
:Izzy Moonbow: Got it!
:Mane 5 sans Izzy Moonbow: [laugh]
:Izzy Moonbow: Oh, hey, look. It's still on. [laughs]
:Pipp Petals: See you at the festival!
:[beep!]
:Sunny Starscout: You okay, Izzy?
:Izzy Moonbow: Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. I mean, a little ground glitter never hurt anypony. [giggles]
:Sunny Starscout: Well, thank hoofness for magic.
:Izzy Moonbow: Oh, yeah!
:Pipp Petals: Definitely.
:Zipp Storm: Fo' sho'.
:Posey Bloom: Well, I, for one...
:[door opens]
:Posey Bloom: ... do not agree.
:Sunny Starscout: Is this about your flowers, Posey? It was an accident, but we'll fix them right away.
:Posey Bloom: No. What I meant was that I wish magic had never come back. And I'm not the only pony around here who thinks so.
:Sunny Starscout: Uh, what do you mean?
:Posey Bloom: You Pegasi are always flying too fast! O-Or too low! Or too high up!
:Pipp Petals: What's wrong with flying high up?
:Posey Bloom: Ugh! I just don't like it, okay?! And every time I'm at the market, there's some smug unicorn using their magic to shop!
:Posey Bloom: [voiceover] I almost got hit in the head by a bag of floating apples yesterday!
:Posey Bloom: Magic is not very safe. At least not for the rest of us ponies who don't have it. Right, Sheriff Hitch?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Uh... I don't know if I would say that.
:Posey Bloom: [growls]
:Sunny Starscout: Everypony's just... still learning how to use it. That's all. Magic takes practice.
:Posey Bloom: Hmph. Then they should do it somewhere else other than my garden!
:[door slams]
:Izzy Moonbow: Okay, wow. She was really nice, right, guys?
:[magic shimmering]
:Izzy Moonbow: [humming] Oh! Come on, Sunny! Let's go home!
:[curtains flapping]
:Sunny Starscout: Don't worry, Posey. I'm gonna find a way to show you and everypony else just how awesome magic can be.
:[bright music]
:[doors open]
:Izzy Moonbow: Pipp! Pipp! Pipp! I want to show you something!
:Pipp Petals: [humming] So what did you want to show me?
:Izzy Moonbow: Well, I don't know if you noticed, but I consider myself a bit of an artist.
:Pipp Petals: Of course I noticed. All of this beautiful stuff was made by you. You're so creative, Izzy. And you're amaze at making new things out of old things. [gasps] What do you call it again?
:Izzy Moonbow: Oh, yeah. Uni-cycling.
:Pipp Petals: Uni-cycling! Yes, yes, that's it!
:Izzy Moonbow: So, the other day, when I was searching for my box of googly eyes in the basement, I found this!
:Pipp Petals: [gasps] Is that Sunny's old lantern?
:Izzy Moonbow: Well, her dad made it for her when she was a filly! So I thought...
:Pipp Petals: [gasps] That you'd fix it up for her as Maretime Bay Day present?!
:Izzy Moonbow: Yup! But shhh! It has to be a surprise! Sorry.
:Pipp Petals: [squeals] I love surprises! Your secret is safe with me.
:Izzy Moonbow and Pipp Petals: Hoof to heart.
:[upbeat music]
:Zipp Storm: [groans]
:Pipp Petals: Zipp? Zipp! ZIPP!!!
:Zipp Storm: Huh?!
:Pipp Petals: I have been asking you if you want extra cheese on your pizza for, like, ten minutes! What's up with you?
:Zipp Storm: Oh. Sorry. Just thinking about something weird that happened earlier.
:Pipp Petals: The thing with Posey?
:Zipp Storm: Oh, uh... yeah. That.
:Sunny Starscout: Same here. How could she not love magic?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Earth ponies have never had magic before. Maybe Posey's jealous.
:Pipp Petals: Jealous?
:Hitch Trailblazer: I know I am. Magic seems a little scary, but it would be pretty cool to be able to levitate things.
:Izzy Moonbow: Like this? Whoo! [laughs]
:[whipping]
:Izzy Moonbow: Whoa! Whoops!
:[splat]
:Rest of Mane 5: [laugh]
:Izzy Moonbow: Mmm! Worth it!
:Pipp Petals: Ah, you're right, Hitch. That is soooo much better than flying.
:Zipp Storm: So have you figured out the whole "magical wings and horn appearing at random times" thing yet?
:Sunny Starscout: No. And it's been getting worse.
:[birds chirping]
:[magic shimmering]
:[boom!]
:Unicorn 1: [gasps]
:Sunny Starscout: [gasps] Uh... Whoa! [screaming] Oof!
:[crash!]
:Sunny Starscout: [groans]
:[splatting]
:Zipp Storm: Maybe Posey has a point. Magic is unpredictable.
:Sunny Starscout: Hmmm.
:[timer dings]
:Sunny Starscout: It may be unpredictable, but it's not dangerous.
:[magic shimmers]
:Sunny Starscout: We just need to show the Earth ponies that magic is nothing to be afraid of. It makes Equestria a... a better place. And it's fun!
:Izzy Moonbow: Wow! Are you ponies thinking what I'm thinking?
:Sunny Starscout: I think I might be.
:Izzy Moonbow: All right, everypony. On the count of three. One... two... three... Floating parade! Right?
:Sunny Starscout: Not exactly, but close. We're going to use Maretime Bay Day as our chance to show off all the amazing things magic can do! Then everypony will remember just how special it is that we have friendship and magic in our lives again! Are you ponies in?
:Izzy Moonbow: Yeah!
:Pipp Petals: Definitely, definitely!
:Hitch Trailblazer: I'm in!
:[phone ringing]
:Zipp Storm: Uggghhh.
:[phone ringing]
:Zipp Storm: [sighs] 
:Queen Haven: Zephyrina? Are you there? H-Hello? I can't see you.
:Zipp Storm: Hi, Mom.
:Queen Haven: Oh. [chuckles] There you are. It's been ages since I've seen my fillies!
:Cloudpuff: [barks]
:Queen Haven: At least Pipp answers her phone when I call her. You never do. And you haven't visited Zephyr Heights at all.
:Zipp Storm: Nope! You're right! I definitely have not been to Zephyr Heights! [laughs nervously]
:Queen Haven: Well, it's not like you can't fly now, darling. Oh! Cloudpuff wants to say hi! Who's Mommy's little baby? You are! You were saying?
:Zipp Storm: Oh, it was just—
:Queen Haven: Listen, Zipp, dear. I called because I'm gonna need you to move back home, okay?
:Zipp Storm: What?! No! No way!
:Queen Haven: I know you've had your fun with your new friends and all, but you're a princess, darling. You're going to be queen one day.
:Zipp Storm: I know. What about Pipp though?
:Queen Haven: Well, your sister has little salon project, and while I do like the idea of you being there to keep an eye on her, let's face it, she livestreams everything, so that's not really necessary. You're the one I need here, studying my every move and representing the royal family.
:Zipp Storm: But I'm not sure if I'm ready to leave just yet.
:Queen Haven: And why wouldn't you be?
:Zipp Storm: Ummm... there's a festival soon?
:Queen Haven: Hmm. I do suppose festival planning does count as a useful skill for your future on the throne. As queen, you'll be responsible for arranging state dinners, teas, parties...
:Zipp Storm: Uh... Oh! [mimicking static] You're... breaking... up!
:[phone beeps]
:Zipp Storm: Ugh. [sighs]
:Sunny Starscout: Is everything okay?
:Zipp Storm: Yeah. It's just that... I love it here in Maretime Bay so much. I don't want to leave yet. 
:Sunny Starscout: Leave?
:Zipp Storm: Go back to Zephyr Heights.
:Sunny Starscout: But you just got here!
:Zipp Storm: I know. I'm not ready to become a full-time, heir-to-the-throne princess yet. Not the way my mom expects me to be anyway. But... I'm not sure if I fit in here either.
:Sunny Starscout: Of course you do!
:Zipp Storm: Even if all I do is fly around and try out new moves?
:Sunny Starscout: It's what you love to do! As Izzy would say... [imitating Izzy] "It makes your sparkle shine really bright!"
:Zipp Storm: I don't know. Maybe my mom is right. Maybe I should just go back to Zephyr Heights and really try to be the kind of princess everypony is hoping for. [sighs] I'm going to have to do it someday.
:Sunny Starscout: At least stay until Maretime Bay Day. Then you can decide.
:Zipp Storm: Okay, yeah. I guess I can't miss that.
:Sunny Starscout: Now come on. We have a festival to plan, and it needs your magic, too.
:[glitching]
:[Pegasi screaming]
:Zipp Storm: [gasps] That's not good. Weird. [sighs]
:[glitching]
:Sunny Starscout: Ribbon wreaths are the traditional decoration of Maretime Bay Day. We hang them on our front doors, on Mane Street... Everywhere!
:Pipp Petals: Cuuuute! [coughs] A little dusty, but cute.
:Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] I once made a wreath out of old teaspoons!
:Pipp Petals: Loving that idea, Izzy. [gasps] Maybe we can add some unicorn and Pegasus flair to these ones, too.
:Izzy Moonbow: [gasps]
:[clattering]
:Izzy Moonbow: [with mouth full] Now... where did I leave my suitcase full of glitter?
:Sunny Starscout: Uh, anypony seen Zipp?
:Zipp Storm: What's with all the spoons?
:Izzy Moonbow: Oh, we're uni-cycling these old decorations. Do you want to try?
:Zipp Storm: Uh, decorating things isn't really my strong point.
:Sunny Starscout: We could do something else. What about baking Bay Day treats?
:Zipp Storm: I'm not very good at baking either.
:Sunny Starscout: Or write a song for the big concert!
:Pipp Petals: Ooh! Zipp, you used to love writing song lyrics with me!
:Zipp Storm: I-I don't think so.
:Sunny Starscout: Wait! I'm sure we can find something that you'd like to do.
:Zipp Storm: Uh, maybe later. Bye!
:[door opens]
:[door closes]
:[spoons clattering]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Good morning, station! Sheriff Hitch here, reporting for duty! At ease, deputies. So what do you say? [singing] Which Sheriff-y things should we do today in Maretime Bay? Hey, hey, heeeey!
:[door opens]
:Zipp Storm: Oof. Are you trying to rhyme?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Oh, hey, Zipp. Yeah, what did you think?
:Zipp Storm: Way too much.
:Hitch Trailblazer: Cool, cool. Just trying something out. Didn't work. Good feedback. [clears throat] So what can I do for you?
:Zipp Storm: I came by because... well... Have you seen anything... strange lately?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Strange? What do you mean?
:Zipp Storm: Well, I was on the balcony earlier when... Y-You know what? It was probably nothing. Forget it. [laughs nervously]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Wait. I know what this is about.
:Zipp Storm: You do?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Yup. Mm-hmm. You're... bored. But you don't have to be shy. We're pals! We can totally hang out! I know. Let's order fries from three different diners and then decide which ones are the best! [gasps] Or maybe a puzzle!
:[phone rings]
:Hitch Trailblazer: A call? [clears throat] Sheriff station. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I see. Really? How strange. At the beach? Well, I'll be right there.
:[phone clicks]
:Hitch Trailblazer: It appears we have a code eight-eighteen at the beach. Want to come on a trot-along with me, Zipp?
:[door closes]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Aaaand I'm talking to nopony.
:[crab claws clicking]
:[seagulls squawking]
:[giggling]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Hmm. Looks normal to me.
:Annoyed Earth Pony: What do you mean something strange happened?! You did it on purpose!
:Nervous Unicorn: I did not!
:Annoyed Earth Pony: I saw you use your magic to drop your umbrella onto my sand castle!
:Nervous Unicorn: I'm telling you, it wasn't me! I was carrying it, and then my magic just went away!
:Annoyed Earth Pony: I don't believe you!
:[sand rustling]
:Nervous Unicorn: But I'm telling the truth!
:Hitch Trailblazer: [clears throat] Is everypony okay over here?
:Nervous Unicorn: Sheriff Hitch! I promise I didn't mean to ruin everything! My magic...
:Annoyed Earth Pony: I worked on that castle all day!
:[phone rings]
:Zipp Storm: Aah! Huh! Argh!
:[phone beeps]
:[beep!]
:Zipp Storm: Thursday, noon, beach. Second magical mishap. Levitation glitch. Unicorn drops umbrella. Lots of upset ponies. Very strange. Must investigate further.
:[glitching]
:Zipp Storm: Oh, no! Please, no!
:[glitching]
:Zipp Storm: [gasps, laughs]
:[whoosh!]
:[bright music]
:Sunny Starscout: Zipp! There you are!
:Izzy Moonbow: Oh, hey! Coming to town with us to gather more supplies for the new-and-improved Maretime Bay Day?
:Zipp Storm: Oh. Wish I could, but—
:Pipp Petals: Why can't you exactly?
:Zipp Storm: Because... I'm working on my surprise thing for Maretime Bay Day! Yeah! H-Have fun!
:[beep!]
:Zipp Storm: Thursday, 12:15. Crystals – normal. Pris-beam energy – intact. [sighs]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Okay. Tell me what happened. One at a time.
:Annoyed Earth Pony: She tried to sabotage my sand castle!
:Nervous Unicorn: No, I didn't! My magic was just gone!
:Hitch Trailblazer: Okay, okay. Everypony just—
:Annoyed Earth Pony: Magic shouldn't even be allowed on the beach!
:Tiny Pegasus: Is magic allowed on the beach, Sheriff Hitch?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Oh, uh... It's not... not allowed?
:[beat]
:Hitch Trailblazer: You know, actually, maybe I should go back to the stations and check the records to see what I can dig up! Yeah! You ponies just hang tight, and I'll get back to you!
:[seagulls squawking]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Huh. You don't belong here, do you? I've never seen an egg like this. Have you?
:[bird chirps]
:Hitch Trailblazer: What in Equestria are you?
:[water rushing]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Oh! [grunts] I'll take care of you, little one.
:Annoyed Earth Pony: You did it on purpose!
:Nervous Unicorn: I would never do that on purpose!
:Hitch Trailblazer: That's better.
:[click]
:Hitch Trailblazer: All roasty and toasty. I'll just keep you safe here until we can find who you belong to, okay?
:Posey Bloom: Sheriff Hitch!
:[slam!]
:Hitch Trailblazer: [laughs nervously]
:Posey Bloom: Who were you just talking to?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Nopony! Nopony at all! How can I help you, Posey?
:Posey Bloom: I was just trotting down Mane Street when I noticed that my hooves were stuck to the sidewalk. I tried and tried to move, but I couldn't for, like, a really long time. I think somepony's pranking me. Probably one of those unicorns. I'd like to file a complaint.
:Hitch Trailblazer: Okay. The complaint box is over there on the wall.
:Posey Bloom: Well, I'd prefer if you took it down yourself.
:Hitch Trailblazer: I would, but I'm late for an important meeting at the Brighthouse. Duty calls!
:[thud]
:Hitch Trailblazer: [whispering] Keep an eye on that egg for me, would you, deputy?
:[bird chirps]
:[door closes]
:Hitch Trailblazer: [laughs nervously]
:[door closes]
:Sunny Starscout: Maretime Bay Day is going to be great with these treats!
:Pipp Petals: How could it not? We've literally thought of everything. And I've been working on the [singing] all-new anthem for Maretime Bay Day! Whoo! You wanna hear it? Too late! Doing it anyway! [clears throat] A-five, six, seven, eight!
::[soulfully]
::Maretime Baaaaaay, yeah! Hey! Heeeeey!
:And then it's like...
::Somethin' about the sunshine and sea
:And then it's like...
::[progressively higher-pitched]
::Somethin', somethin', somethin', somethin', SOMETHIN'!
:Then...
::[extra soulfully]
::Somethin', somethin', somethiiiiin'!
:Izzy Moonbow: Uh... yeah, I don't like it. I love it! What?!
:[door opens]
:Hitch Trailblazer: [humming] Catchy!
::Somethin', somethin'...
:Yup. Very catchy. She's good.
:[timer dings]
:Sunny Starscout: Mmmm! Miniature glimmerberry tarts! Great idea, Izzy!
:Izzy Moonbow: [giggles] Aww! Ta-daaa! Ooh, now they're a true work of "tart".
:Hitch Trailblazer: [chomps] Mmm. But how do you make 'em taste like magic?
:Izzy Moonbow: The secret ingredient... [whispers] Magic!
:Pipp Petals: We have to make cloud candy next! It's Zipp's favorite! Um, where is she, by the way?
:Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer: ["I dunno" sound]
:Izzy Moonbow: ["I dunno" sound]
:Zipp Storm: Hour five... Still nothing... Hour five and one minute... Still nothing... [sighs] Maybe I was wrong. Maybe there's no pattern to it. Just a glitch. Ugh.
:[whirring]
:Zipp Storm: What in the wingfeathers?
:Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, and Pipp Petals: [laughing]
:[pulsating]
:Zipp Storm: Ah!
:[whoosh!]
:Zipp Storm: Whoa! I don't believe this!
:Zipp Storm: Everypony, quick! Come upstairs! You have got to see this!
:Pipp Petals: There you are.
:Hitch Trailblazer: What happened?
:Zipp Storm: Just hurry!
:Izzy Moonbow: Wow! What are we looking at?
:Zipp Storm: There were all these vines growing on the wall! And they were glowing!
:Pipp Petals: Glowing vines?
:Zipp Storm: Okay. I have a confession. I've been monitoring the Crystals, and I think something is wrong with them.
:Sunny Starscout: What? No, there isn't.
:Zipp Storm: None of you have noticed that magic seems kinda weird lately? Like it keeps switching off or something.
:Izzy Moonbow: Hmmm... Nope!
:Pipp Petals: Me, neither.
:Zipp Storm: Really?
:[phone chimes]
:Pipp Petals: Sorry, sis.
:Zipp Storm: Hitch? I saw what happened at the beach the other day. Didn't you take—?
:Hitch Trailblazer: What?! I didn't take anything at the beach!
:Zipp Storm: ...down a report?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Oh. Right. A report. Actually, that reminds me. Gotta go file that report!
:Izzy Moonbow: Hey, you wait a second! You were gonna teach us how to make life-sized gummy bunnies!
:Zipp Storm: I know it sounds weird, but I know what I saw! And what I've been seeing! Like the other day, when I was flying back from Zephyr Heights, these two Pegasi crashed into each other, and I think it—!
:Sunny Starscout: I'm sorry, Zipp. I've been so caught up in all the festival planning. This is all my fault.
:Zipp Storm: That magic is glitching?
:Sunny Starscout: [scoffs] Magic is not glitching.
:Zipp Storm: But you said it yourself. Your Alicorn magic keeps appearing randomly. You don't find that strange? At all?
:Sunny Starscout: No, I-I think that's just because I'm still learning. We all are.
:[birds chirping]
:Zipp Storm: Uggghhh.
:[beep!]
:Zipp Storm: Report. Nothing new to report. No more signs of mysterious glowing vines or Crystal glitches.
:[phone ringing]
:Zipp Storm: Uggghhh! Hi, Mom.
:Queen Haven: Zipp! There you are! Have you been ignoring my calls, young filly?
:Zipp Storm: No, no! Just busy, Mom! I'm actually helping Sunny with decorations right now, so I gotta go. [laughs nervously]
:Queen Haven: Well, I can't wait to see them!
:Zipp Storm: See what?
:Queen Haven: The decorations! Oh, didn't Pipp tell you? I'll be attending this Maretime Bay Day Festival.
:Zipp Storm: You will?! Why?!
:Cloudpuff: [barking]
:Queen Haven: Yes, it is treat time! I know, I know! See you there, darling!
:[phone beeps]
:Zipp Storm: Come on! There's gotta be something!
:[ponies laughing]
:[trolley bell dings]
:Zipp Storm: Everything on Mane Street appears normal. Huh? Hmmm. Except that. Huh.
:Hitch Trailblazer: Here you go, little one. I brought you some sand to make you more comfortable. I thought maybe you'd like that.
:[plush toy squeaks]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Lookin' rosy and cozy! Now who wants to hear a story?
:Zipp Storm: I do.
:Hitch Trailblazer: Aah! Zipp!
:[slam!]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Wow. You are sneaky. What are doing here?
:Zipp Storm: I had an instinct, so I followed it. And I was right. You have been hiding something!
:Hitch Trailblazer: Hey!
:Zipp Storm: Whoo! [laughs] So, uh... what is it?
:Hitch Trailblazer: No clue. I saw it on the beach, and I just knew it needed help. I just—
:Zipp Storm: Had an instinct and followed it?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Yeah. Hey, uh, would you mind keeping this between us for now?
:Zipp Storm: Sure. I can Zipp it.
:Hitch Trailblazer: What?
:Zipp Storm: So... you gonna read us that story now or what?
:[crab claw clicking]
:[bird chirps]
:[phone chimes]
:Hitch Trailblazer and Zipp Storm: [gasp]
:[phone chiming]
:Zipp Storm: Oh, no!
:Hitch Trailblazer: We rushed right here! So what's the emergency?!
:Pipp Petals: Well, everypony seems really stressy lately. We clearly need a break. And luckily, I know just the place. I planned a surprise for you! You're welcome!
:Izzy Moonbow: Oooooh!
:Zipp Storm: Please don't let it be makeovers. Please don't let it be makeovers.
:[mane dryer whirring]
:Zipp Storm: I knew it.
:Izzy Moonbow: But this is soooo relaxing! And informative! Did you ponies know that there are over a thousand different kinds of hermit crabs?! 'Cause I... did not!
:Hitch Trailblazer: [laughing] Sorry, Jazz! I'm so sorry! So ticklish!
:Pipp Petals: [laughs] Don't you ponies love it here at Mane Melody? 
:Izzy Moonbow: Yeah-huh!
:Sunny Starscout: Mm-hmm!
:Rocky Riff: What's wrong, Zipp? Not a fan of Mane Melody?
:Zipp Storm: No, no. It's awesome. Pipp has done a great job here.
:Pipp Petals: [gasps] You really think so?
:Zipp Storm: Yeah. I do. And, hey, I'm sorry if I haven't been helping out. My mind's just on other things.
:Pipp Petals: Like the Crystals?
:Zipp Storm: Something weird is going on.
:Pipp Petals: Ugh. You worry too, too much.
:Zipp Storm: But if something happens to those Crystals, we'll lose magic again for good. Then it'll be no more flying and—
:Pipp Petals: Sis, sis, sis, sis, sis, sis, sis. You need to chill. Nothing is going to happen. [whistles] We've got our friends back, we've got magic back, and we've got...
:Pipp Petals, Jazz Hooves, and Rocky Riff: [vocalizing] Muuuuusiiiiic-kuh!
:Pipp Petals: At Mane Melody...
:Jazz Hooves: ...we siiiiing...
:Rocky Riff: ...while we style!
:Sunny Starscout, Hitch Trailblazer, and Izzy Moonbow: Pipp-Pipp-hooray!
:Pipp Petals: This one goes out to my paranoid big sis Zipp.
:Zipp Storm: You don't get it, do you?! We can't just sing a song and ignore everything! If we lose magic this time, we may never get it back again! And it'll be our fault.
:Izzy Moonbow: What is she talkin about?
:Sunny Starscout: Lose magic?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Whose fault?
:[crash!]
:[ponies groaning]
:Sunny Starscout: Are you ponies okay? What happened, Windy?
:Windy: I... I don't know. I was just flying along, and the next thing I knew, I was down here on the ground.
:Dapple: Yeah, me, too. Because you fell on us.
:Windy: Ugh, I'm so sorry, everypony. I'm normally such a good flier.
:Posey Bloom: Clearly she's not. This is what I've been saying, what everypony's been thinking. If Pegasi and unicorns can't be respectful, then they shouldn't be allowed to use their magic in Maretime Bay!
:Diggy: She's right!
:Dapple: I'm not sure...
:Sander: Yeah! No more magic!
:Posey Bloom: It isn't fair! We Earth ponies don't get any magic, and then the ponies that do have it don't even know how to use it! Or they use it to prank us!
:Diggy: Yeah! Posey's right!
:Sander: I agree!
:Sunny Starscout: Everypony, wait!
:Posey Bloom: And now they want to ruin our special Earth pony holiday, too!
:Sunny Starscout: That's not true!
:Izzy Moonbow: We want it to be the best day ever.
:Diggy: Well, then Maretime Bay Day should be magic-free!
:Sander: Like it's always been!
:Dahlia: A no-fly zone!
:Posey Bloom: Or we're not coming.
:[thunder]
:Zipp Storm: I think I finally know what's happening to magic. Why it's glitching.
:Sunny Starscout: You do?
:Zipp Storm: It's the Crystal. They might be powered by ponies.
:Hitch Trailblazer: Whaaaaaat?
:Zipp Storm: Okay. Check this out. Pipp, when we were fillies, I used to steal Mom's chocolate-dipped cherries and blame it on you.
:Pipp Petals: [deep gasp] I knew it! You got me grounded, like, twelve times!
:Zipp Storm: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And guess what. I don't like karaoke! It's the worst! UGH!
:Pipp Petals: [deep gasp]
:Izzy Moonbow: Hey, you take that back! Karaoke is a fun activity for every age and skill level!
:Sunny Starscout: Zipp's allowed to like what she likes. Just because we enjoy something doesn't mean she has to.
:Hitch Trailblazer: Sunny, there's no need to get all huffy about it. Izzy was just trying to stand up for Pipp.
:Sunny Starscout: Don't call me huffy!
:Hitch Trailblazer: Ugh! I didn't call you huffy! I said you were being huffy!
:[fizzling]
:Hitch Trailblazer: There's a difference, and— Whoa.
:[fizzling]
:Sunny Starscout: You... You were right.
:Izzy Moonbow: So, when ponies aren't treating each other with kindness...
:Pipp Petals: When we aren't vibing...
:Zipp Storm: ...the Crystals get weaker. And the more unstable magic becomes in Equestria.
:Sunny Starscout: Which causes Pegasi to lose their flight and fall on other ponies!
:Hitch Trailblazer: And unicorns to drop stuff onto sandcastles!
:Pipp Petals: And weather changes! [gasps] Like a rando thunderstorm?!
:Zipp Storm: Yup! Everything is all out of whack!
:Sunny Starscout: I wonder if this had anything to do with why the Crystals were separated all those years ago. Ugh. Or why I still can't seem to figure out my Alicorn magic.
:Zipp Storm: I don't know. I want to find out. But if we want to keep magic in Equestria, first we need to get everypony back on the same page.
:Sunny Starscout: Zipp's right. We can't give up. We can still make Bay Day the celebration it's supposed to be.
:Izzy Moonbow: A day of friendship!
:Pipp Petals: And [singing] haaaaarmooooony!
:Hitch Trailblazer: Yeah!
:Izzy Moonbow: Yeah!
:Zipp Storm: Yeah!
:Pipp Petals: Let's do it!
:Mane 5: Hoof to heart!
:Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] It's here! [scatting] The big day is here!
:Pipp Petals: [yawns]
:Izzy Moonbow: The big day is heeeere!
:Zipp Storm: [yawns, sighs] Don't worry. I got you.
:Izzy Moonbow: Sunny! Sunny, wait! Happy Maretime Bay Day!
:Sunny Starscout: We don't usually exchange gifts.
:Izzy Moonbow: I know, but just open it!
:[paper tearing]
:Sunny Starscout: It's... It's the lantern my dad made for me. I-I thought it was beyond repair. Thank you so much, Izzy! 
:Izzy Moonbow: Sometimes, when you add a little bit of magic, you can fix anything.
:Sunny Starscout: You're right. Now let's go add some magic to today and fix this.
:Izzy Moonbow: Mm-hmm!
:[upbeat music]
:[party horns blowing]
:[whistling]
:[indistinct chatter]
:Izzy Moonbow: Oh, look! Look, look! Ponies showed up after all! [gasps] And there's the queen!
:[trumpet fanfare]
:[crowd cheering]
:Izzy Moonbow: Hello, your Majesticness!
:Pipp Petals: [gasps] Mom!
:Sunny Starscout: Happy Maretime Bay Day, everypony! Welcome!
:Hitch Trailblazer: So far, so good.
:Sunny Starscout: Now we just gotta keep it up.
:Dahlia: Spoons in the wreaths? Ugh, yuck! I liked the old decorations better.
:Posey Bloom: I could not agree more.
:[soft music]
:Izzy Moonbow: Ohhhh! Ooh! Oh! Oooh! Wow!
:[trumpet fanfare]
:[crowd grumbling]
:Dahlia: Ahem!
:Mayflower: Hey!
:Posey Bloom: Pegasi have an unfair advantage!
:[indistinct arguing]
:[thunder booming]
:Zipp Storm: Hmmm...
:[upbeat music]
:Diggy: Moss ice cream? Bleghhh!
:[sounds of disgust]
:[splatting]
:Dapple: Waste not, want not! [chomping]
:Toots: Ugh! Huh?
:[wind whistling]
:Pipp Petals: Oh, no!
:[glitching]
:Pipp Petals: [grunting] My wings won't work!
:Hitch Trailblazer: Neither will my hooves!
:Pony 1: Heeeelp!
:Earth Pony 3: Our hooves... are stuck! What's going on?!
:Zipp Storm: The glitches! They're getting worse!
:[thunder booming]
:Sunny Starscout: Are you sure you want to do this? Nothing has gone to plan today.
:Pipp Petals: I have to give it my best shot. We still need all the positivity we can get, right?
:Zipp Storm: Maybe this will help.
:Pipp Petals: [gasps] My lucky mic! Okay! [vocal warm-ups, trills] Yes, we're ready! All right! [singing] Showtiiiiime!
:Izzy Moonbow: Break a hoof, Pipp! But not really. Actually, be really careful.
:Sunny Starscout: Everypony, please welcome pop star Princess Pipp Petals to sing the brand-new Maretime Bay Day song!
:[crowd muttering]
:Earth Pony 4: New song?
:Earth Pony 3: What?
:Queen Haven: That's my daughter!
:Dahlia: We want to hear the real Maretime Bay song! Sung by an Earth pony!
:[crowd grumbling]
:[thunder booming]
:[fizzling]
:[crack!]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Hey! Be nice! Sheriff's orders!
:Earth Pony 3: Are you on their side?!
:Zipp Storm: There are no sides!
:[thunder booming]
:Sunny Starscout: We know that magic returning hasn't been easy for everypony, that Equestria is really different, but that's a good thing! It's so much better now that—!
:[thunder booming]
:Sunny Starscout: Whoa! No, no, no! T-The magic! It's dying!
:[lightning strikes]
:Hitch Trailblazer: [gasps] Eggy!
:[zap!]
:[rumbling]
:Queen Haven: What is that thing?!
:Zipp Storm: It's some sort of void!
:Sunny Starscout: Everypony, get back!
:[ponies screaming]
:Earth Pony 5: But we're stuck!
:Earth Pony 6: Please let us go!
:Unicorn 1: It's not us!
:[lightning strikes] 
:Posey Bloom: [grunts] Can't you ponies with magic do something?!
:Windy: Ugh! Our magic isn't working!
:[rumbling]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Aah! I do not like this! No! I do not!
:[rumbling]
:Windy: [grunting]
:Posey Bloom and Windy: [scream]
:Sunny Starscout: Posey! Windy! No! Come on, Alicorn magic! Work!
:Zipp Storm: But the magic! I-It's gone!
:Sunny Starscout: Then I'll have to try without it! I'm going in!
:Izzy Moonbow: Not without us!
:[shimmering]
:Zipp Storm: That's it! The magic will come back to us if we can work together! Come on, unicorns! Come on, Pegasi! Help the Earth ponies!
:[ponies grunting]
:Izzy Moonbow: [grunting]
:Zipp Storm: [grunting] It's working! You got this, Sunny!
:Izzy Moonbow: It's too dark in there! Take this!
:[thunder booming]
:[fizzle]
:[tense music]
:[clang!]
:[shimmering]
:Posey Bloom and Windy: [screaming]
:Sunny Starscout: [grunting]
:[boom!]
:[triumphant music]
:Izzy Moonbow: Sunny?
:[shimmering]
:[whoosh!]
:[whirring]
:[boom!]
:Hitch Trailblazer: [laughs] That tickles!
:[bird chirping]
:[crab claws clicking]
:Hitch Trailblazer: I know, I know! I totally agree with everything you guys are saying. Did you just... talk?! Did I just... understand you?! Whaaaaat?!
:[bird chirping]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Wow, that's a lot of information. Well, nice to meet you, Kenneth. I'm Hitch!
:[bird chirping]
:[shimmering]
:Posey Bloom: Flower... power?!
:[shimmering]
:[whoosh!]
:Sunny Starscout: Earth pony magic?!
:Izzy Moonbow: But that's never happened before!
:Zipp Storm: When we work together, maybe we can invent new magic.
:Sunny Starscout: You're right, Zipp. Actually, you were right about everything. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. I should've been a better friend and listened. I was just so focused on hoping magic was okay that I lost sight of everything else. Can you forgive me?
:Zipp Storm: [chuckles] Obviously.
:Sunny Starscout: [laughs]
:Queen Haven: Zephyrina! There you are! My hoofness, what an ordeal! Gather your things. We need to hit the sky if we're going to make it back to the palace by sundown.
:Zipp Storm: Mom! I'm not going back with you!
:Queen Haven: We agreed that you were to resume your studies.
:Zipp Storm: My place is here in Maretime Bay with my friends. I just need more time to figure things out. To investigate magic. To explore who I am before I take on my royal duty. And... you know what? I think who I am is somepony who likes figuring things out.
:Queen Haven: Yes, you certainly are, my little princess investigator.
:Zipp Storm: Mom? Would you do me a favor?
:Queen Haven: Anything, darling.
:Zipp Storm: Would you mind just calling me Zipp for now?
:Queen Haven: Of course... Zipp.
:Cloudpuff: [barking]
:Hitch Trailblazer: I'm sorry, it's a what?
:Cloudpuff: [barking]
:[cracking]
:[poof!]
:Sparky Sparkeroni: [coos]
:Hitch Trailblazer: A dragon...?!
:Sunny Starscout: But dragons haven't been seen in Equestria for generations!
:Sparky Sparkeroni: [cooing]
:Izzy Moonbow: He's so cute!
:Pipp Petals: Adorbs!
:Sparky Sparkeroni: [cooing]
:Posey Bloom: Hey, everypony. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I acted. I think I just felt...
:Zipp Storm: Left out?
:Posey Bloom: Yeah! Exactly!
:Sunny Starscout: We'll make sure that doesn't happen again. Right, guys?
:Rest of Mane 5: [agreeing]
:Posey Bloom: Pipp? Would you mind... singing your new Maretime Bay song?
:Pipp Petals: I will on one condition – if you'll sing it with me.
:Posey Bloom: I'll do the harmony!
:[soft music]
:Opaline: Hah. Those little ponies finally figured out how to stabilize the magic. Took them long enough. And now that they have, it's time to take back what is mine! [evil laughter]
:[sinister music]
:Izzy Moonbow: It looks brilliant!
:Zipp Storm: You think so?
:Pipp Petals: We're so glad you're staying in Maretime Bay, "Detective Zipp"!
:Zipp Storm: Me, too. We have a lot to learn about magic and how it works. I'm just glad I'll be here to figure it out with my best friends.
:Sunny Starscout: Well, I definitely still have a loooot of questions. Like why does my Alicorn magic disappear?
:Hitch Trailblazer: Yeah! Like why do I now have the magical power to understand every animal except for this adorable baby dragon?
:Sparky Sparkeroni: [cooing]
:Hitch Trailblazer: Ow, ow, ow.
:Zipp Storm: Or... where did magic come from? Who made the Crystals anyway? And how did they get separated? Why didn't Earth ponies have magic before?
:Sunny Starscout: Well, at least we already know one thing for sure.
:Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] What's that?
:Sunny Starscout: No matter what lies ahead, we'll face it together!
:Rest of Mane 5: [cheer]
