Transcripts/Friendship Games

:Monday Morning – August 17, 2020
:Luna: I got your text, Jason! Did something come through the portal? Is Princess Aulia on the loose? Did Princess Roman come back with a problem that only we can solve?! 
:Celestia: Has a giant cake monster covered all the cakes in the republic?!
:Jason: Hmm, not exactly.
:Luna: Uh, I don't understand.
:Dennis: Well, Luna, I was just tellin' Jason that a broken guitar string doesn't really qualify as an emergency.
:Jason: It totally does!
:Tobias: Really, Jason! I was in the middle of sewing a very complex appliqué on my latest frock.
:Vincent: And I was just about to tuck every animal in for the night at the Fluttershy Animal Shelter. Now we'll have to start stories all over again.
:Luna: Jason, why would you send all of us an emergency text for a guitar string?
:Jason: Well, I was going to pony up and show our fans some awesome guitar licks, but I kinda need all six strings to do it. Got any extra?
:Rest of the Petrovburg Heroes: [groan]
:Luna: Here, Son. But everyone finished practicing for the day. I'm pretty sure that the throne rooms are locked.
:Jason: No problem. The acoustics in the hallway is perfect for power chords. [plays chord] C'mon, let's go!
:Dennis: You comin', Luna?
:Luna: I'll catch up in a bit.
:[writing a letter]
:Luna: [voiceover] Dear Uncle Diana,
:How's your state visit to Equestria? Any cool new magic spells? It's been pretty quiet here at Canterlot Presidential University since the Battle of the Bands. We still pony up when we play music, which Jason just loves to show off. But I still can't quite grasp what it's all about. I would love to hear what you think about it when you get a sec.
:Your grandson – Luna Vernadsky.
:[bus pulls up]
:[bus drives away]
:[electronic noises]
:Luna: Hey, girl! What are you doing?! Wait! Stop!
:[car skids]
:Luna: Who was that girl?!
:[meanwhile in the bus]
:[a girl opens her hoodie, identified as Roman]
:Roman: [sighs]
LMB theme song
:[]
:Luna: She was definitely doing something to the statue — or was going to.
:Vincent: Do you think she came through the portal from Vernadia?
:Luna: No, I'm pretty sure I would notice that. I think she was from over here.
:Dennis: Well, boy, that's a relief. The last thing we need is another magical so-and-so bent on world domination comin' over from Vernadia.
:Tobias: Agreed. I have no interest in another fight against the powers of evil magic. The wear and tear on my wardrobe are just too much to keep up with.
:Luna: Still, a mysterious figure snooping around the portal? Don't you wanna know what she was up to?
:Vincent: [shudders] I don't even wanna guess.
:Jason: Well, you don't have to. Because I've totally figured out who it was!
:Celestia: Ooh, ooh! A nighttime statue cleaner? A magical portal maintenance maintainer? A gardener?!
:Jason: Seeing as how they got off a bus from the city and got back on a bus headed to the city, I'll bet they go to—
:The Petrovburg Heroes: Seborga High School!
:Jason: Yep. With the Friendship Games starting tomorrow, they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wondercolts statue.
:Luna: Why would anyone take a bus all the way from Seborga District for that?
:Dennis: Because Seborga High and the French delegates are our biggest rivals!
:Tobias: Because that's just what the students of Seborga High would do.
:Jason: Because even though they beat us in everything – soccer, tennis, golf – they still have to gloat!
:Luna: Seems kinda silly to me.
:All but Luna: Silly?!
:Vincent: So, I guess you think the Friendship Games are silly, too.
:Luna: Well, it's not like we'll be fighting the powers of evil magic, even Princess Aulia's ones.
:Vincent: No. We'll be fighting against Seborga High – the campus that full of meanies. Not everything has to be magical to be important.
:Luna: You're right, Vincent. I'm sorry, I know it's a big deal.
:Tobias: [scoffs] That's putting it mildly, Luna. They're still revamping their playing field in preparation.
:Luna: I just don't understand why there's this big rivalry. Aren't the Friendship Games supposed to be about that French-stylized campus and our state university getting along?
:Dennis: Well, boy, it's kinda hard to get along with someone who beats you at everything.
:Jason: Not anymore! This time, things are gonna be different!
:Luna: What do you mean, Son?
:Jason: Oh, let's check it out later.
:August 17, 2020 – 08:00
:Princess Finlandia: As I am sure that tomorrow, our Canterlot Presidential University will be hosting our fellow students from Seborga High School – the French-sparkled campus. As we join together in the spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, and fidelity to compete in the Friendship Games.
:Canterlot Presidential civilians: [unenthused cheering, sparse applause]
:Princess Finlandia: Since the games only happen every four years, I'm sure you're all curious about what goes on.
:Bellvania: What do you mean, ma'am? Other than us losing?!
:[Finlandia and Tony have pissed up]
:Princess Finlandia: And that is precisely why I've asked Jason to come up and give you all a little, um... context.
:[microphone feedback to Jason]
:Jason: Thank you, Mrs. Finn. [clears throat] I know a lot of you might think there's no way we can beat a French-sparkled campus like Seborga High at anything.
:Celestia: Unless it's a loss competition to Seborga High! Because we're good at that!
:Jason: And I know that our campus has never won the Friendship Games even once.
:Tobias: Oh, yeah. I hope this speech isn't meant to be motivational.
LMB song: Canterlot Presidentials' Rally Song
:[Jason]
:Crystal of France's civilians are super athletic, super smart, and super motivated
:But there's one thing they aren't. They aren't the Wondercolts!
:We've fought magic more than once and come out on top
:[Chorus]
:Oh, oh
:[Jason]
:There's another campus, but none can make those claims
:[Chorus]
:Na, na-na-na-na, oh
:[Jason]
:Together, we are the Canterlot, come and cheer our name
:[Chorus]
:Oh, oh
:[Jason]
:This will be our year to win these games
:[Jason and chorus]
:We'll always be the Wondercolts forever
:And now our time has finally arrived
:'Cause we believe in the magic of friendship
:And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who'll survive!
:[instrumental break]
:[Canterlot Presidential civilians]
:Hey!
:[Jason]
:We're not the campus we were before
:[Canterlot Presidential civilians]
:Hey!
:[Jason]
:Yeah, we're different now
:[Chorus]
:Oh, oh
:[Canterlot Presidential civilians]
:Hey! Hey!
:[Jason]
:We overcame the obstacles we faced
:[Chorus]
:Overcame the obstacles we faced
:[Canterlot Presidential civilians]
:Hey!
:[Jason]
:We're the Canterlot United
:[Canterlot Presidential civilians]
:Unite!
:[Jason]
:And we'll never bow
:[Chorus]
:Oh, oh
:[Canterlot Presidential civilians]
:Hey! Hey!
:[Jason]
:So get ready to see us in the first place
:[All]
:We'll always be the Wondercolts forever
:And now our time has finally arrived
:'Cause we believe in the magic of friendship
:And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who'll survive!
:We'll always be the Wondercolts forever (Three! Two! One! Go!)
:And now our time has finally arrived (our time is now!)
:'Cause we believe in the magic of friendship
:And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who survive
:At the end of the day, it is we who survive
:[Refrain, x2]
:Na, na, na-na-na-na Wondercolts united together
:Na, na, na-na-na-na Wondercolts united forever
:Na, na, na-na-na-na Wondercolts united together
:[Jason]
:We'll always be the Wondercolts forever
:And now our time has finally arrived
:'Cause we believe in the magic of friendship
:And you know...
:At the end of the day, it is we who survive!
:[presidential civilians cheering]
:Vincent: Jason, that was amazing! Even I feel like we can win!
:Tobias: I feel like this country's pride is at an all-time high!
:Dennis: Is anybody else wonderin' how Jason ponied up without playin' his guitar?
:Jason: I know, right? It's probably because I'm so awesome!
:Luna: Maybe. I mean, you are awesome, but there's gotta be more to it than that, right? It just seems so random.
:Principal Tony: Well, Frihetens, it would be nice if your friends could get a handle on it. We'd like to keep magic as far away from the Friendship Games as possible. We mustn't be accused of cheating.
:Tobias: We don't need magic but strength to defeat those hoity-toity Seborga Highers.
:All but Tobias, Luna, and Tony: [agreeing]
:Tobias: [giggles]
:Principal Tony: Still, the Friendship Games are serious business. We don't want any surprises. Especially the kind that could cause us to forfeit. [to Luna] Luna, you came here from Vernadia. Perhaps you can get to the bottom of our magical development.
:Luna: [salutes] I'll do my best, captain.
:Jason: Okay. Does anybody have any guesses about what the events are gonna be?
:Celestia: Pie eating? Cake eating? [gasps] Pie-cake eating?!
:Dennis: They won't even let us see what they're doin' to the field. You think they'd at least tell competitors what they're competing in.
:Vincent: It could be anything.
:Tobias: Anything?! How will I ever pick the right outfit?!
:Luna: I really wanna help you, Lady Toby, but I think I better go focus on figuring out why Jason ponied up. See ya later!
:Celestia: Seems like he's got everything under control. Nothing to worry about.
:[Luna enters the library]
:Luna: Ugh!
:[voiceover]
:Dear Uncle Diana.
:Haven't heard back from you yet. I guess you must be pretty busy with your role as the president. But I could really use your advice right now. You see, I've been given the job by Captain Tony of keeping magic under control here at this Canterlot Presidentials, even though I still haven't quite wrapped my head around it. And now after seeing Jason pony up the way she did, it makes me think his magic might be... changing. Everyone is looking to me to figure things out and I really don't wanna let them down. But I'm not sure I have enough experience with friendship magic to solve this.
:August 17, 2020 – 08:40
:[in Seborga High School]
:[presidential bell rings]
:Roman: [deep breath] Excuse me. Sorry. Pardon me.
:Spike: [whimpers]
:[door opens]
:Spike: [whimpers]
:Roman: [takes Spike out of her backpack] Spike? Spike?!
:Spike: [barks]
:Roman: [giggles] Here we go.
:Spike: [barks] [pants]
:Roman: Okay, okay! Last night's field test confirmed it, Spike. With this device, I can track and contain the positive energy coming from Canterlot Presidentials.
:Spike: [growls, disagreeing with Roman's argument]
:Roman: I know you didn't like me going over there, but I just couldn't wait. And soon, I'll have all the time I need. All of Seborga High is gonna be there for the Friendship Games. I just hope all that "rivalry" nonsense doesn't get in the way of my research. If I can collect enough data on these EM frequencies, I should be able to extrapolate the waveforms to determine their origin. That would practically guarantee my entrance into the Everton Independent Study Program! Whoa!
:August 17, 2020 – 08:45
:First Lady Camilla: Luna, we know that Roman has kidnapped our presidential dog to Seborga High.
:Luna: Well, Spike isn't a pet, auntie. She is the focus of our presidential event. Human-canine cohabitation: effects and implications.
:First Lady Camilla: If you say so. But Mrs. Keith is highly allergic, so I suggest you come to Seborga High immediately to meet her there and then rescue Spike.
:Luna: Why?
:First Lady Camilla: Because she wants to see you.
:Luna: Ooh! Maybe she has discusses with Princess Roman about the application to Everton!
:First Lady Camilla: I've been meaning to talk to you about that. Are you sure that's what you really want?
:Luna: Why wouldn't it be? A program that allows me to focus all of my attention on advanced math and science projects? What a dream come true!
:First Lady Camilla: But there aren't any classrooms with other students there. You'll be doing everything on your own.
:Luna: That is why it's called an "independent study program".
:First Lady Camilla: I just don't want you to miss out on anything. That's all. Being around other people isn't a bad thing. Sometimes it's how you learn the most about yourself.
:Luna: I guess, auntie.
:First Lady Camilla: See you in Principal Keith's office at Seborga High.
:[First Lady Camilla leaves]
:Luna: [to himself] Okay, because Aunt Camilla wants me to retrieve Spike in the Seborga High, I must meet Mrs. Keith there!
:August 17, 2020 – 09:00
:[Luna arrives at Keith's office at Seborga High School]
:[door creaks]
:[chair squeaks]
:[door creaks]
:Luna: [asks to First Lady Camilla] Uncle Joe? Why is he coming here?
:First Lady Camilla: As an alumnus, Mrs. Keith thought him that he could provide some unique perspective.
:Luna: Perspective on what?
:Principal Keith: Why, the Friendship Games, of course. You competed in the games, did you not, Joe?
:Jozef Oktarini: [ahem] I did.
:Principal Keith: And you happen to recall who won?
:Jozef Oktarini: Ha ha, Seborga High did. They always win.
:Principal Keith: ¡Vive la France! We always win.
:[Luna approaches Mrs. Keith and greets her]
:Luna: Assalamu-alaikum, Mrs. Keith, why did you ask to see me?
:Principal Keith: Wa-alaikumussalam, Luna Vernadsky. I'll be honest, it doesn't matter whether or not this Seborga High wins or loses. [monkeyshine squeaks] The important thing is we are expected to win because this Seborga High has a reputation. And it is that reputation— my reputation that is responsible for everything we have here. For everything, you've done in your campus. And you've done quite a lot, haven't you?
:Luna: I don't know. I guess.
:Principal Keith: Oh, don't be modest, Luna. You're the most tolerant visitor have ever seen. What I can't understand is why you wouldn't want to compete against my best students.
:Luna: In the Friendship Games?
:Jozef Oktarini: Look, Luna. I know it's not really our thing, but representing this campus is kind of a big deal. Plus, if they could really compete against us.
:Luna: I see, uncle.
:Principal Keith: It seems that your campus – Canterlot Presidentials, is undergoing something of a renaissance. Test scores are up, grades, and even athletics are on the rise. You see, they are eager on developing somewhat of a reputation. This can not happen!
:Luna: Ma’am, I can't possibly participate in that Games. I guess that princess of Sunset Shimmer challenges me in that competition.
:Principal Keith: Ah yes. She is Roman Rosalina – my best student. [to First Lady Camilla] Camilla, could you and Joe find my contact sheet for the Everton Independent Study program?
:First Lady Camilla: Of course, Keith.
:[door closes]
:Principal Keith: I understand you and Roman have applied there. You see, one of the advantages of having a reputation is a certain amount of influence in such things. So, let me offer you a deal. In return for contributing your agile mind to these games, I will use my influence to guarantee your application is approved. Though, I suppose I could also have it— denied. What do you think I should do?
:[Spike arrived at Keith's office]
:Spike: [whimpers]
:Luna: Come on, Spike! We shall return to our Canterlot Presidentials for the Friendship Games. Ich! The only difference now is that I have to compete against this campus. Besides, it's not like Mrs. Keith gave me much of a choice.
:Spike: [whimpers]
:Luna: I know, Spike. I don't like it either. I probably won't be able to collect anywhere near as much data as we thought. But maybe I can still get some.
:Spike: [whimpers]
:Luna: Spike, I wouldn't leave without you. Just remember to be quiet. And try not to shed.
:[door creaks]
:Luna: [to First Lady Camilla] Auntie, please allow me to return back to the campus.
:First Lady Camilla: Of course, Luna.
:August 17, 2020 – 09:20
:Cecil Lulamoon: [sourly] You could try the end of the line, Roman!
:Roman: What did you say, Cecil?!
:Cecil Lulamoon: [sweetly] Just that someone as smart as you should definitely go first.
:Roman: I— I didn't mean to. I was just asking.
:First Lady Camilla: This is the right bus, Roman. Go ahead.
:Roman: But... I didn't mean to cut in front, ma'am.
:Cecil Lulamoon: [sourly, scoffs] Well, it's too late now!
:[bus door opens]
:Jozef Oktarini: You're gonna have to take a seat, Roman!
:Roman: Hi, Husni.
:Husniati: That was a really bad speech. You should consider not speaking in public.
:[engine starts]
:Benjamin: Are we gonna win?!?!
:Roman: I— I don't know.
:Benjamin: Wrong answer!! Try again! Are we gonna win?!?!
:Roman: Um... I guess? I-It's just— I mean— I heard that Canterlot Presidentials is doing well now. With their reputation. And, I mean, it's not better than ours, of course. But we can't let them do it, you know? Win, I mean? Right?
:[rock music playing on headphones]
:Martin: Sist, you have gotta hear this!
:Roman: Uh? Eh!
:[in the presidential band room, Friheten Rainbooms practicing]
:Jason: I hope the Friendship Games have a music competition because we would totally rock it! [plays chord]
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: Um, Jason, we're supposed to keep magic out of this Friendship Games but our own spirit, remember?
:Jason: [scoffs]
:Tobias: Easier said than done, Sergey. I'm sure that our republic that the magic does whatever we want. But—
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: That's not our Petrovburg!
:Dennis: Well, when it comes to magic, I'm sure you'll figure it out.
:Tobias: And while Luna works on keeping the curse magic out of the games, I've been working on what to put in! [giggles]
:Dennis: Toby, what'd you go an' do?
:Tobias: Well, I had a little time on my hands, and since we don't know what the Friendship Games' events are, I made a few options for uniforms!
:Jason: You really didn't have to do that, lady.
:Tobias: I know.
:Dennis: No! You really didn't have to!
:Tobias: I know! [giggles]
:August 17, 2020 – 09:45
:Princess Finlandia: Welcome to Canterlot Presidential University. Principal Tony and Lord Twilight Sparkle can help your students get settled if you'd like me to show you around, Keith. There have been quite a few changes since your last visit.
:Principal Keith: Oh, yes, Finlandia. I'm sure that would be fascinating.
:[First Lady Camilla appears from the bus]
:Principal Tony: Oh, it's always such a pleasure to see you, mom. Even if it means another defeat.
:First Lady Camilla: Thank you, son, but I hear it's not going to be so easy this time.
:Pavel: Comin' through!
:[thud]
:Roman: Oof!
:Zaynab: [Turkish accent] Ciddi anlamda?! Seriously?!
:Roman: Oh, sorry, Zaynab. I didn't mean to. [groans to Cecil] Why don't you go ahead?!
:Cecil Lulamoon: [sweetly] You are such a sweetie! [sourly and hushed] I am watching you!
:[rock music on headphones]
:Martin: Ahh! Yeah! [rocking out sounds]
:Benjamin: You are kinda being a doormat right now!
:[Luna rushes toward his friends at the presidential band room]
:[Roman's device hums]
:Batiara: Hi, Brother Luna.
:Daniel Motonari: Hey, Brother Luna!
:Daisy Elizabeth: Hi, Brother Luna.
:Daniel Firsty: Hi, Luna.
:Victor Arsil: Hey, bro. Lookin' good, isn't it?
:Luna: Um, hi.
:Ferry Diana: Hey, what's happenin', brother?
:Daisy Elizabeth: Nice to see you, brother.
:Martin Susanti: Brother Luna, how ya doing?
:Yusuf Honganji: Brother Luna, yo! [clicks tongue]
:Luna: Hi, hello, uh, good.
:[thud]
:Pavel: Luna? I almost didn't recognize you as you visit Seborga High.
:Luna: Hm, like— since that morning, Pavel.
:Pavel: Oh, so how long are you there for?
:Luna: Just a sudden need.
:Pavel: Right. Of course. We'll win here.
:[Roman's device beeping]
:Luna: Uh, I gotta go.
:Pavel: Uh, okay. Bye? Aw!
:[]
:Dennis: Hm... Toby, these outfits are great, but why would you put so much time and effort into clothes we might not even wear? You're gonna exhaust yourself before the games even start.
:Tobias: Oh, pff. Kch. Fff. Ts! Don't be silly, Dennis! Putting effort into clothes is what I live for, and spending time for us all with energy!
:All but Tobias: [amazed reactions]
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: And magic, too, I guess.
:[Roman's device continues beeping]
:Tobias: [out of breath] Actually, Dennis, now that you mention it, I suppose I could use a tiny break. [faints]
:Dennis: I told you, Toby!
:[door opens]
:The Petrovburg Heroes: Luna? Alhamdulillah, you're saved!
:Luna: Oh, yes.
:Dennis: Well, welcome back. You're supposed to tell us you were comin'.
:Tobias: His eyeglasses. [to Luna] What are you wearing? It's so... severe.
:Luna: What the heck?!
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: Where you go before?
:Luna: Hmm... Seborga High. At least, juniors at this campus are proudly greeting me that I am saved.
:Jason: Did you just say "Seborga High"?
:Spike: [barks]
:Sergey and Tobias: Spike!
:Luna: [gasps] You know our presidential dog's name, too?
:Princess Finlandia: And our music program has especially taken off, Keith. [gasps] Luna?
:Luna: Astaghfirullah... this is getting ridiculous!
:Principal Keith: Luna, apologize to me before, Roman just challenged you at the math equations competition, do you agree with her?
:Princess Finlandia: Luna, are you sure to compete against Roman?
:Principal Keith: Finlandia, your son is very curious, he is the smart one and is always curious. I'll introduce him to Roman and the rest of her teammates.
:Princess Finlandia: I didn't know Luna was hypnotized by Mrs. Keith.
:Celestia: He doesn't, mommy! He is obviously a handsome boy since it couldn't possibly be Uncle Diana's messenger since he doesn't go to Seborga High.
:Princess Finlandia: Nevermind it, Tia. 
:August 17, 2020 – 09:55
:Luna: I'm sorry, ma'am. That was Princess Roman who following those strange readings. She led me to those Seborga High guys and—
:Principal Keith: Luna, what you do in your free time is of little interest to me, but while you're here, I... just require your initiative to join Roman in the math equations competition.
:Luna: But why does everyone at Seborga High seem to know me?
:Principal Keith: Perhaps they're trying to confuse you and perhaps they're trying to lure you away.
:Luna: It didn't feel like anyone was trying to lure me, ma'am.
:Principal Keith: I don't know what they're planning, but I guarantee, you will win that competition. 
:Tobias: I can't believe our trusted friend goes to Seborga High...
:Jason: You're saying that Luna's gonna play against us? He should never do that!
:Vincent: Oh, we hope he wouldn't.
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: Luna is the miracle boy and an expert in friendship magic! And if he was here, we'd have already figured out why magic is randomly popping up during pep rallies and costume changes!
:Dennis: Yes, Luna is our trusted friend. He probably got problems of his own to deal with.
:Tobias: We certainly can't expect him to drop everything and pop through the portal whenever. Especially if it's to deal with something as minor as a few random pony-ups.
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: But they aren't minor! Magic came into this republic when Princess Roman stole Luna's moon sphere. It's taken a lot for her to earn everyone's trust. If we declared that we have to forfeit the games because Luna can't think of a way to keep it under control.
:Vincent: Oh, Luna, I'm sure you'll be able to figure things out.
:Dennis: You know, Sergey? He is the one who helped us understand what was goin' on with Aulia and her Dazzlings.
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: I guess. Truly, Luna is the one who will figure out what we needed to defeat them.
:Tobias: Astaghfirullah, don't you remember, Sergey? What we needed to defeat them is only him.
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] All right.
:The Petrovburg Heroes: [cheering] Thanks, Sergey!
:Jason: Come on, guys! Let's see if we can find any info about the events and come up with a strategy, but we'll have to save Luna first. [to Sergey] You comin'?
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: I'll catch up with you guys in a bit.
:Luna: [sighs] Still no reply from Uncle Diana.
:[Roman's device humming]
:Luna: Maybe there's another way I could reach him. Hey, let it go!
:[whoosh]
:Roman and Luna: [scream]
:Luna: Princess! What did you do?!
:Roman: [nervous laughter]
:First Lady Camilla: Roman, you have to check in with the others.
:Luna: Where's the portal? [grunts] Where's the portal?!
:August 17, 2020 – 10:10
:[cup crunches]
: Dennis: What do ya mean that the portal's gone?
:Luna: I mean it's gone. It's closed. It's not there anymore!
:Jason: How'd that happen, Luna?
:Luna: I don't know. But it has something to do with Princess Roman.
:Dennis: What in carnation is she up to?
:Benjamin: Huh?
:[splat]
:Benjamin: [snarls]
:Luna: [to Benjamin] Leave this to me! [to Roman] Princess, what have you been up to?
:Roman: Me? Oh, I was just, uh...
:Benjamin: Who wants to know?!
:Jason: Hmm, we do.
:Dennis: All right, everyone. We should never get too competitive before the games even start.
:Pavel: The games aren't really competitive since we've never lost.
:Vincent: That's not a very nice thing to say.
:Zaynab: [Turkish accent] Üzgünüm tatlım. Sorry, dearie. but these games aren't about being nice.
:Tobias: Well, all of you might use a little tact.
:Celestia: [to Roman] Hi, I'm Tia!
:Roman: [to Celestia] Oh, hi. I'm Roman.
:Celestia: I know, princess. You look just like the evil one. Her name is Roman too.
:Roman: That's— heh, weird.
:Celestia: What's that?
:Roman: It's sort of a spectrometer. I built it to track the frequencies of Aulia's curse magic, but it can also contain anomalies. [evilly laughter] It measures things.
:Celestia: Like the party?
:Roman: Yeah, though it doesn't look like much of a party to me, Tia.
:Celestia: I know. Something is definitely missing. Come on!
:Roman: Aah!
:August 17, 2020 – 10:30
:[civilians of Canterlot Presidentials and Seborga High gather together]
:["La Marseillaise" (instrumental version) played in welcoming Seborga High]
: P.A. voice: ¡Allons, enfants de Seborga! ¡Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
:Princess Finlandia: Hello, everyone! ¡Bonjour! I'd like to take this opportunity to greet all of our visitors from a French-sparkled campus – Seborga High School, and welcome them to our Canterlot Presidential University.
:Roman: [grunts] What in the campus is in these?
:Celestia: Party cannons, of course!
:Principal Tony: And lastly, I would like to recognize the twelve students that represent the CPU to compete. I don't think we could have chosen a better group to represent the excellence, sportsmanship, and friendship the games stand for.
: [party music]
:[party cannon exploded]
:[everyone dancing]
:Roman: Um, are you sure this is a good idea?
:Celestia: Absolutely!
:[party cannon squeak]
:[everyone talking]
:Celestia: Ooh, floaty!
:[Roman's device humming]
:[whoosh]
:Celestia: Aw! Oh, my party's pooped!
:[flash]
:[device closes, powers down]
:[thumping on microphone]
:[feedback]
:[Seborga's regional anthem ended]
:Principal Keith: I'd like to thank Mrs. Secretary Finlandia and Principal Tony for their unconventional welcome. It's been four years since the last Friendship Games, but it feels as though nothing has changed. Canterlot Presidentials continues to pick its competitors in a popularity contest and Seborga High continues to field its top twelve students. It is a comfort to know that even after so many years of losses, this campus remains committed to its ideals, however misguided they may be. I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome.
:Celestia: Oh...
:Dennis: Sorry, Tia. I thought your party additions were really swell.
:Vincent: They definitely broke the ice.
:Tobias: Yes. If only that Mrs. Keith hadn't frozen it again.
:Celestia: Yeah, she's awful.
:Vincent: Wow, Tia, what happened to you?
:Celestia: I don't know. Everyone started having fun after Princess Roman and I fired the party cannons and I ponied up.
:Luna: Of course.
:Celestia: But then the magic just drained right out of me.
:Luna: Wait, what do you mean "drained out of you"?
:Dennis: Hey. Where is that psychopathic Princess Roman?
:Celestia: Oh. That's right... Uh, well, she was right here.
:August 17, 2020 – 11:00
:Principal Tony: Good morning, Presidentials. I'm sure you're all thrilled to start the Friendship Games. Our competitors will face off in every aspect of the CPP curriculum, culminating in the elimination: the math equation finale.
:First Lady Camilla: Welcome to the first wave: the Academic Decathlon! You'll be scored on chemistry, woodshop, and everything in between. But remember, only the six students from each team with the most points will move on to the second wave. Good luck!
LMB song: Academic Decathlon
:[Luna and the CP Wondercolts]
:Ho! We're gonna take you down
:Ho! We're gonna take you down!
:Take you down! (Ho! We're gonna take you down!)
:Take you down! (Down, down, down)
:[Roman and the SH Shadowbolts]
:(Oh oh!) We're here to take you out
:(Aw aw!) We're here to take you out (Aw aw!)
:Take you out! (We're here to take you out!)
:Take you out!
:[Luna and the CP Wondercolts]
:We're not about to let you win, so get out of our way!
:Think you got us beat, but we're here to stay
:United strong, yeah, we'll take you down
:You're not so tough, now you're in our town
:All of the times we lost before
:Not about to give up, we're only bringin' it more
:We can smell your fear, we can see your sweat
:Hope you didn't spend money 'cause you're losin' this bet!
:[instrumental break]
:[Roman and the SH Shadowbolts]
:Talk a little too much for the campus that never wins
:Maybe you should just stop 'fore you even begin
:We are Seborga High, and we have a reputation
:Every little moment is about our education
:Put your ear to the ground, listen to that sound
:You're a house of cards and it's about to fall down (fall down)
:About to fall down (fall down), hit the ground
:[instrumental break]
:[Luna and the CP Wondercolts]
:Pressure's on! now we're gonna beat you
:Step aside! It's time that we defeat you
:Seborga High yourself 'cause you're about to go
:Down, down, down, down
:[Roman and the SH Shadowbolts]
:Pressure's on, you know we're gonna take you
:Just give up before we have to break you
:In our love for France, you're about to go
:Down, down, down, down 
:[instrumental break]
:[Roman]
:I can't wait 'til this is all over, there's so much more that's going on
:[Luna]
:And before these games are over, I'll find out just what she's done
:[All]
:Can they do it? Will they make it?
:Who will win it? Who will take it?
:Can they do it? Who will take it?
:Did they win it? Did they make it?
:Who's the winner?
:Who's the reject?
:How did they answer?
:[Roman's hand slapped]
:Principal Keith: Incorrect!
:[Roman hangs her head] 
:Joko Sikumbang: [camera shutter clicking]
:Principal Tony: That means the winner of the Friendship Games' first wave is Luna Vernadsky!
:[applause]
:Luna: Thank you all, guys!
:Seborga High civilians: [sigh, scattered applause]
:Jason: That was awesome!
: Tobias: Truly amazing!
:Luna: Thanks for your support cheers, guys.
:Dennis: That was as close to winnin' as our university's ever been.
: First Lady Camilla: After a careful tally of the points, we'd like to present the students moving on to the Friendship Games' second wave.
:[applause]
:The Petrovburg Heroes: [cheering for Luna]
: [Roman is jealous, Pavel stands behind her]
:Pavel: Congratulations, Roman! Although you have been defeated by Luna, you are really great!
:[device humming]
:Roman: I'm sorry, Pavel. Excuse me.
:Pavel: Okay, then. Aw.
:August 17, 2020 – 13:30
: Fluttershy cat: [purrs]
: [bush rustling as Roman hides]
: Polina: Do you wanna give it a treat?
: Luna: Guess I'm not the only one to smuggle it into the campus.
:Polina: [giggles] Not just one.
:Luna: Oh, wow. All I have is Spike.
:Spike: [panting]
:Polina: She is really uncanny. Does she talk?
:Luna: Um, not that I know of.
:Polina: Congratulations on winning, by the way. Though it didn't seem like anyone on the SH Shadowbolts was very excited about it.
:Luna: Seborga High friends are unexcited about anything they didn't do themselves.
:Polina: That sounds awful. [showing her bunny] Here, Luna. Hold this.
: Luna: Hmm... why?
:Polina: Holding a bunny always makes me feel better.
:Luna: Well, that's ridiculous. But... Ooh. It actually kind of works. I am the only representative of the team that won as the others just lost. Why are you being so nice to me?
:Polina: You looked like you needed it.
: [magic noises]
:Luna: [gasps] Whoa!
:[Roman activates the device]
:Spike: [growls and barks]
:Luna: Spike!
:Spike: [yowls]
:Luna: Spike!
:Polina: [shudders]
:Luna: Spike, are you okay?
:Spike: Um, I think so.
: [surprise!]
:Luna and Spike: Daaaah!!!
:Luna: [squeals as he runs]
:Spike: Luna! Wait!
:Polina: [sighs] Bye.
:Roman: [still hiding in the bushes, snickering]
:Luna: [panting run]
:Spike: Luna, come on! Wait for me! [panting] Why did you run away like that?
:Luna: Um, oh, I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with that princess of Sunset Shimmer or the hole in space. Or the presidential dog!
:Spike: Yeah. Weird, right?
:Luna: Are you okay? How do you feel? What happened? Where did you go?
:Spike: Hey, one question at a time! This is pretty new to me, too.
:Luna: Sorry.
:Spike: All I know is I chased that pointy rabbit through the glowy thing and then I was somewhere else. The next thing I knew, I was back in that nice girl's arms and I could talk! I don't really understand why I couldn't before. I mean, it's so easy.
:Principal Keith: Luna.
: Luna: [to Spike] Quick! Hide in here!
: [locker closes]
:Principal Keith: Who are you talking to?
: Luna: Um, myself. It's a nervous habit. Were you looking for me?
:Principal Keith: Indeed I was. Quite a coincidence that the SHS students moving on to the next wave are the same nice girls who were so interested in you, don't you think?
:Luna: I'm not sure, ma’am.
:Principal Keith: Perhaps you should get to know them after all.
:Luna: But I thought you didn't want me to.
:Principal Keith: Let's just say I'm covering my bases. Who knows? Perhaps they will reveal to you the secret for Canterlot Presidentials' newfound success.
:Luna: I dunno. Spying feels kind of... wrong.
:Principal Keith: Well, it's your decision, Luna. It's not as if your application hangs in the balance. On second thought, yes, it does.
:[Principal Keith leaves, Luna opens locker]
: Spike: Astaghfirullah, she's awful. What are you gonna do?
:Luna: [sighs] I don't know, Spike. I don't know. 
:August 17, 2020 – 13:50
:Polina: All I did was hand a bunny to Luna. Then I ponied up.
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: We just don't get it. Toby's magic came out when she made us outfits. Tia's when she fixed the party, and now Lina.
:Polina: And then Princess Roman's pendant thingy just pulled the magic right out of me. I couldn't even stand up.
:Celestia: Like me at the party!
:Tobias: Or me right before we welcome Luna back!
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: So, Roman's stealing your magic?
:Dennis: I don't know. She doesn't seem like the magic-stealin' type.
:Luna: Yeah, but she had something to do with closing the portal. If the pendant can pull in magic, maybe she stole the portal, too.
:Polina: How?
: Luna: I don't know. And the pony counterpart or someone or principal who could help me figure this out is completely unreachable now.
:Celestia: This is too bad because Princess Roman knows everything about magic and portals and magical portals and portable magic!
: [thud]
:Jason: For now, let's just focus on defeating the SH Shadowbolts. And as long as this event puts me on a playing field, I don't think we've got anything to worry about.
:Dennis: Oh, it puts you on a playin' field, alright.
:Celestia: [gasps loudly]
:Luna: Am I the only one who thinks this is overkill?
:Dennis: [to Tobias] I don't suppose you made motocross outfits, Toby.
:Tobias: Oh, don't be ridiculous, Dennis. Of course I did! 
:August 17, 2020 – 13:55
:Principal Keith: You will race in pairs. Benjamin and Pavel will handle the motocross.
:Benjamin: YES!
:Principal Keith: Martin and Zaynab have requested the archery section.
:Martin and Zaynab: [high five each other]
:Principal Keith: Since speed skating is a standard requirement at our school, any of you should be able to do it. Roman and Cecil will start us off.
:Cecil Lulamoon: [sweetly] Well, that's just marvelous! [sourly] If you wanna lose before we even start!
:Principal Keith: Given Roman won the last event single-handedly, I have every confidence that she will be able to pull her weight here. Won't you?
:August 17, 2020 – 14:00
:Joko Sikumbang: [camera shutter clicking]
:First Lady Camilla: Welcome, everyone to the Friendship Games: Tricross Relay!
: [crowd cheering]
:First Lady Camilla: In this event, our qualifying competitors will face off in— [screenshot of Martin, Zaynab, Luna, and Dennis] —archery, [screenshot of Tobias, Vincent, Roman, and Cecil] —speed skating, [screenshot of Jason, Celestia, Benjamin, and Pavel] —and finally motocross.
:[engine revs]
:First Lady Camilla: So if the competitors are ready... [airhorn blows] Each competitor must hit a bull's eye before their teammates can start the next leg of the relay.
:[arrows hit]
:[audience cheers]
:Zaynab: [growls]
:[audience cheers]
:[arrows hit]
:[arrow misses]
:Zaynab: [growls]
:Dennis: [breaths]
:[arrow whooshes]
:[arrows hit]
: [bell dings]
:[crowd cheering]
:First Lady Camilla: And Canterlot Presidentials is off to an early lead!
:[arrows keep missing]
:Zaynab: [Turkish accent] Tamam. Well. That's just fantastic!
:Martin: I'm sure glad that Luna doesn't join Seborga High.
:Dennis: [to Martin] You're welcome, princess.
:Vincent: Whee!
:First Lady Camilla: If Seborga High can't hit another bull's-eye soon, they'll be out of this race.
:Benjamin: You're really bad at this!
: Dennis: Ugh! I can't take anymore! Ya have to stop aimin' at the target.
:Zaynab: Oh, that makes perfect sense! Don't aim at the target! Thanks so much!
:Dennis: Ya have to stop aimin' at where the target is an aim at where the target's gonna be.
:Martin: Yeah! Definitely take advice from the person you're competing against!
:[Luna has difficulty with his arrow-shooting]
:Dennis: Do you wanna hit the bull's eye or not? Then trust me. Take a deep breath.
:Luna: [deep breath]
:Dennis: And let the arrow go— riiiiight— now!
:[arrow whooshes]
:[arrows hit]
:[bell dings]
: [crowd cheering]
:Spike: Yeah! That's my friends!
:Dennis: See? I was tellin' ya the truth.
:[Roman takes out her device]
:[magic noises]
: [Roman hums her device]
:Dennis: Eh... what— is— she— doing?!
:Luna: [suspecting Roman] She's stealing your spirit!
:[thud]
:[whoosh]
:First Lady Camilla: Canterlot Presidentials only has two laps to go! But it looks like Seborga High is making up for a lost time!
:[SH Shadowbolts fans cheering]
:[wheels rolling]
:Tobias: Come on, Vincent!
:[CP Wondercolts fans cheering]
:First Lady Camilla: Finish!
:Joko Sikumbang: [camera shutter clicking]
:[engine revs]
:Celestia: Aah!
:Jason: Awesome!
:[crowd cheering]
:The Equestria Devils: [roar]
:[crowd gasps]
:[tires screech]
:The Equestria Devils: [roar]
:[Jason jumps and rescues Celestia]
:Celestia: Jason, you saved me!
:Jason: I will not about to let Luna and his friends become plant food!
:[meanwhile in the distance]
:Principal Keith: Hmm... it seems like there is magically appearing in the distance here.
:Principal Tony: Uh, magic? I don't see any magic. Something must be wrong with your eyeglasses, ma'am.
:Principal Keith: That's a foul! We must stop them!
:[magic noises]
:[tires screech]
:Jason: We can still win this!
:The Equestria Devils: [roar]
:[thud]
:First Lady Camilla: Canterlot Presidentials wins!
:[CP Wondercolts fans cheering]
:First Lady Camilla: Attention, students, please proceed to the presidential auditorium.
:[device humming]
:[portals closing]
:Dennis: Is everyone all right?
:Jason: Better than all right! We won!
:Luna: Yeah, we won, but someone could've been seriously hurt. The magic is going haywire by Princess Roman and we have no idea how to fix it!
:Roman: Um, excuse me, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I just wanted to learn about the strange energy coming from this campus. I didn't know that it was magic or... how it works.
:Jason: That's okay, princess. Neither do we.
:Roman: Oh, no! Oh, no no no! Not again!
:Jason: [struggling]
:Luna: We're sorry, princess, it just started absorbing energy on its own. But it's very outrageous!
:Roman: [storms] What do you mean you belittle my pendant?!
:[portal opening]
:Luna: It also causes these corresponding rifts to appear!
:Roman: Is there anything you do know?! Like how to get our magic back?! Or how to fix the inter-district portal?!
:Luna: F*** that off!
:Roman: You're supposed to be so smart boy, Luna, but pathetic, but did you ever think that you shouldn't be messing around with that unsupposed things?!
:[portal closing]
:Luna: So that's your bad intention all this time?!
:Roman: And worst of all, you put the lives of my friends in danger!
:Luna: [exploding in crying] That's it! I must report this to principals right now! [sobbingly run]
:Spike: Luna, wait!
:August 17, 2020 – 15:30
:Princess Finlandia: [clears her throat]
:Principal Keith: Finlandia, you can't possibly call that "a fair race".
:Princess Finlandia: Keith, we all saw what happened. You can't think the CPP had some kind of advantage.
:Principal Keith: Can't I? Even without your trained attack plants, your students have wings!
:Principal Tony: Well, the race certainly had some... extenuating circumstances, ma'am. Perhaps we should end this game now and declare a tie.
:Principal Keith: A tie? Was this your strategy all along, Tony? To force us into accepting you as equals? I think not. The games will continue and Seborga High will prevail despite your antics and whatever performance-enhancing regimen your students are on.
:[Mrs. Keith leaves the principals]
:[Luna approaches the principals, towards Princess Finlandia's embrace]
:Luna: Mom... I'm sorry, I couldn't stop all this from happening...
:Princess Finlandia: It's not your fault, son.
:Luna: Isn't it? I should know how to control the magic that was brought here. But I don't. Instead, I let everyone down. And now Mrs. Keith thinks we're cheating.
:Principal Tony: It doesn't matter what Mrs. Keith thinks.
:Luna: But it does. The civilians here at this campus don't just wanna win. They wanna defeat Seborga High. It isn't gonna count if the other side doesn't really think they lost. Seborga High is never gonna believe we won fair and square if there's magic around. And that magic is only around... because of me.
:August 17, 2020 – 19:15
:[crowd cheering]
:First Lady Camilla: Since the score's tied, the final wave will determine the winner of the Friendship Games.
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: Somewhere on this campus, a pennant from each campus has been hidden. The first team to find their campus' flag and bring it back wins.
:First Lady Camilla: And as soon as our teams are ready, we'll begin.
:[in the CP Wondercolts corner]
:Vincent: Ya Allah... keep my heart stay on fidelity! I don't feel like playing these games anymore...
:Jason: But we have to play, Vincent. This is the last wave!
:Tobias: [scoffs] It's a little hard to focus with all the magic stealing and portal opening.
:Luna: And I feel awful about what Princess Roman said to me.
:Vincent: Especially since Princess Roman obviously mean to do all the stuff she did. She's actually really nice.
:Luna: [facepalms]
:Dennis: Luna, let's just get through this last event and prove we're not a bunch of cheaters. Then you can go over and apologize.
:[meanwhile in the SH Shadowbolts corner]
:Principal Keith: I know, I'm asking you to beat a team that isn't playing fair, but Canterlot Presidentials must be made to understand that even with magic at their disposal, beating Seborga High is simply not an option.
:Husniati: What if they grow wings again?
:Principal Keith: [to Husniati] A fair question, Husni. Though I believe we can now fight fire with fire. [to Roman] I've seen what your device can do, Roman. Containing magical energy is fine, but have you considered releasing it?
:Roman: But I don't even understand how it works, ma'am.
:Principal Keith: But you'd like to. And since our opponents have already used it to stay competitive, I see no reason why we shouldn't do the same. Unlike your rival boy — Luna, you have no interest in Everton. Though, honestly, I think there's more knowledge packed in that little device than any independent study program could offer.
LMB song: Unleash the Magic 
:[Principal Keith]
:I realize that you've always been an outcast
:It's not everyone at the campus likes to think
:To find a worthy boy like Luna
:I've had one or maybe two
:But the good ones disappear before I blink
:[Seborga High Shadowbolts]
:Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh, oh, wuh-oh-wuh 
:[Principal Keith]
:Now, I understand you have your reservations (oh-wuh)
:It's hard to have a brain as large as yours (oh-oh-oh-oh)
:But if we don't win these games
:Well, I think I've made it plain
:What will happen if we have the losing scores?
:[Seborga High Shadowbolts]
:Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh, oh, wuh-oh-wuh
:Unleash the magic, Roman! Unleash the magic!
:If we lose, then you're to blame (ah, ah-ah-ah)
:They all have used it, maybe abused it (ah-ah-ah)
:So then why can't we do the same?
:Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh, oh, wuh-oh-wuh
:[Principal Keith]
:Call that power, Roman, call it magic
:If we lose, it will be tragic
:More important is the knowledge we'll have lost (oh-oh-oh-oh)
:A chance like this won't come again
:You'll regret not giving in
:Isn't understanding magic worth the cost?
:[Seborga High Shadowbolts]
:Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh, oh, wuh-oh-wuh
:Unleash the magic, Roman! Unleash the magic!
:We're not friends here after all
:Our only interest in this business (ah-ah-ah)
:Is seeing Canterlot Presidentials fall! 
:Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh, oh, wuh-oh-wuh 
:[Principal Keith]
:What I'm suggesting's very simple
: And since it wins, win on all scores
:You only want to learn about the
:Magic that you have stored
:And as for me and all the others
:We only want what we deserve
:That our school will clinch the win
:And my—
:[Principal Keith + Seborga High Shadowbolts]
:—legacy will endure!
:Unleash the magic, Roman! unleash the magic!
:If we lose, then it's a crime
:But we can win it if you begin it (ah-ah-ah)
:It's up to you to not fail this time
:[Seborga High male civilians]
:Unleash the magic, Roman!
:Free the magic now!
:[Seborga High female civilians]
:Unleash the magic, Roman!
:Free the magic now!
:[Roman]
:Imagine all I'll learn by setting it free
:[Sergey the Twilight Sparkle] 
:If both teams are ready—
:[Roman]
:And now winning these games depends on me
:And what doors might open if I try to use it
:[First Lady Camilla]
:—the last wave of the Friendship Games begins—
:[Roman]
:But the magic's what I really want to see—
:[Luna]
:Princess, no!
:[All]
:NOW!
:[boom, whoosh]
:Luna: [gasps]
:Roman: [gulfed by magic] Heeeeeeeeeelllllllp... meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Uhh! Ahh!
:[transformation noises]
:Spike: [whimpers]
:Nightmare Moon: [evil laughter, to Luna] You were right, boy! I didn't understand magic before, but I'll do it now!
:[portal explosed]
:Luna: Vernadia!
:[crackling]
:[civilians screaming]
:Zaynab: Hey! Where are you going, ma’am?!
:Principal Keith: Anywhere to avoid that... monster! And I suggest you do the same!
:Luna: Princess Roman, you should never do this!
:Nightmare Moon: Why not, boy?! There's a whole country world right there, and it's just filled with magic!
: Luna: But you're destroying this republic to get it!
:Nightmare Moon: So what? There's more magic there, and I want to understand it all!
:[explosion]
:[civilians screaming]
:Luna: Uhh!
:Dennis: [grunts] Don't let go!
:[civilians screaming]
: Jason: Hang on!
:Tobias and Lia: Obviously! [struggling]
:Benjamin and Martin: We got you!
:[device humming]
:[magic noises]
:Luna: This isn't the way! I know you feel powerful right now, princess, like you can have everything you want! I've been where you are, I've made the same mistake you're making! I put on a helmet and, just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained! I thought it could get me everything I wanted!
:Nightmare Moon: Oh, you're wrong, boy! Unlike you, I can have everything I want!
:Luna: No way! That’s very outrageous! Even with all that magic and power, you'll still be alone! True magic comes from honesty! Loyalty! Laughter! Generosity! Fidelity! I understand you, Princess Roman, and I want to show you the most important magic of all—
:[transformation noises]
:Principal Hideyoshi: —the Magic of Friendship!
:[Dennis, Celestia, Vincent happy]
:[Tobias and Jason happy]
:[Nightmare Moon panicking]
:[magic noises]
:Nightmare Moon: [grunts, evil laughter]
:Spike: Princess Roman!
:Principal Hideyoshi: Spike?
:Nightmare Moon: Noooo!
:Principal Hideyoshi: Take my hand, Lady Roman. Let me show you there's another way... just like someone once did for me.
:[magic noises]
:[Roman and Luna return to normal]
:Roman: [sobbing] I am so sorry, Luna... I didn't mean for any of this to happen...
:Luna: I know, princess. And going by my own experiences, they'll forgive you.
:[Roman and Luna are happy]
:August 17, 2020 – 20:45
:Principal Keith: [angrily] Finlandia! You vindictive woman! On behalf of Seborga High, I demand that your son – Luna, must get disqualified from these Friendship Games immediately! Clearly, because of him, this presidential university had an unfair advantage for quite some time! And it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit!
:Princess Finlandia: I'd like to hope that saving this republic benefits us all.
:Husniati: At least they didn't manipulate Luna into releasing all of Roman's stolen magic and turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to invade this country apart just to win a game.
:Celestia: Wow! That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once, Mrs. Keith.
:Principal Keith: That's ridiculous!
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: Nope, that's pretty much what happened.
:Cecil Lulamoon: [sweetly] Actually, we're all to blame. [sourly] Mostly it was her.
:Principal Keith: Shut up, Cecil! [to presidential principals] Obviously! My students and my reputations from France have been infected by Luna with his heroic action! I will report this up with Princess Aulia! I hope Aulia will call her immortal curses so that Luna will be suffered, FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE!
:Princess Finlandia: Sound's good, Keith. I'm sure they would be very interested in hearing all about the magical students with their wings.
:Principal Tony: Oh, that fiendish princess will never trust you right, ma'am, even with the portals to different districts.
:First Lady Camilla: And don't forget to tell Aulia and all of her allies about our presidential dog. [giggles]
:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: Because that would never ruin your reputation, Mrs. Keith.
:[All civilians stand against Principal Keith]
:Principal Keith: What a sore loser.
:[Principal Keith leaving]
:[Petrovburg's Victory played]
:Princess Finlandia: Well, I know these Friendship Games haven't been what any of us expected, but given what we've all just been through, I think it's fair to declare us all winners.
:Civilians of Canterlot Presidentials and Seborga High: [happily cheer, wave Canterlot and Seborga regional flags]
:[Dennis throws her hat to the sky]
:August 19, 2020 – 08:00
:First Lady Camilla: Luna, I guess that was one way to finish up your time when you temporarily visit Seborga High. Pretty sure that Mrs. Keith will be fast-tracking your spirit after all of that.
:Luna: Auntie, I've been thinking about it and— I'm not so sure now is the time for me to apply to Everton.
: First Lady Camilla: Really?
:Luna: I may know about a lot of things, but friendship isn't really one of them. And I'm definitely not gonna learn more about it by being alone all the time.
:First Lady Camilla: So, your dear girlfriend – Martin, staying at Seborga High?
:Luna: Well, it seems that Princess Martin likes me so much. She personally appreciated my bravery when I fought against Princess Roman yesterday, I want to guide her about friendship...
:First Lady Camilla: I could transfer her to this campus instead.
:Luna: Really, Aunt Camilla?
:First Lady Camilla: You and Martin certainly be missed by me as your aunt. But I think that's a great idea! I'll be sure to speak to your mother about it right away.
:August 19, 2020 – 08:45
:Polina: Still no word from Mr. Diana?
:Luna: Not yet. But I think I may have figured out how magic works in this beloved country of ours. We pony up when we're showing the truest part of ourselves. I was so busy waiting for someone else to give me the answers that I gave up looking for them myself. I'm sure there will be more magical problems that pop up in this country, but as Dennis said, Uncle Diana has his own problems to worry about during his state visit to Equestria. We can't expect him to always be around to help us.
:[a few moment later]
:Martin: But maybe I can be?
:Princess Finlandia: It seems we have a new Wondercolt friend here at this Canterlot Presidentials! She is Martin Heldayeti.
:Martin: I'm not sure how much help I could be, ma'am. But I'd like to try. If you would all give me a chance.
:Princess Finlandia: [to the Petrovburg Heroes] I'm sure I can count on you all to help her feel at home.
:Luna: We sure can, mom.
:Celestia: Yay!
:Martin: Luna, my handsome darling, be my husband in the future.
:Tobias: Congratulations, Luna!
:Vincent: Princess Martin loves you, and you deserve to have her.

:Sergey the Twilight Sparkle: I'm so sorry that my father – Mr. Diana, didn't get here sooner! He didn't get our messages until just now because he was caught in this time travel loop and, honestly, it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to him... what the heck!
:Martin: [to Sergey] Hello, captain...

Ending theme song: Friends are Always There for You
:[Polina]
:I never thought that I would find a place
:To step right in and start again,
:I never thought that I could just begin
:Right where I left off and make a friend
:[Martin]
:Don't ever think that it might be too late
:You don't have to wait, there's no mistake with the friends you make
:A friendship's only made of what you bring
:And if you do it right, you can do anything
:[The Petrovburg Heroes + Polina]
:Just use your eyes, this time no lies
:Just don't disguise, who you are inside!
:Because your friends are always there for you
:You don't have to be the same for friendship to be true
:Because your friends are always there for you
:Around the world, it's still the same
:Together you have more to gain
:There's nothing that a friend won't do
:Everywhere you go, friendships there will grow
:When you find it, it's the key
:Friends can change the world, you see!
:Everywhere you go, friendships there will grow
:When you find it, it's the key
:Friends can change the world (x2) (ah-ah)
:Friends can change the world, you see!
