Transcripts/Lost

***Narrator***: Long ago, there lived six ponies they were entrusted with the most sacred items in all of Equestria, they were called the Elements of Harmony. The leader of the group: Twilight Sparkle was graced with the prominent title of being called The Princess of Friendship, using the elements they've defeated many enemies in and out of this world. But as the hands of time slowly turned so did the moments with her friends, one by one the elements faded and plummeted Twilight back to where she began her journey in solitude. The princesses became worried about their friend and hoped that one day the elements could be restored.

[Opening]

[Knocking]

***Twilight Sparkle***: Oh, good morning Celestia.

***Princess Celestia***: Good morning Twilight, did you have a restful night?

***Twilight Sparkle***: [Stammers] Of course. I'm all rested up for monsters and debates.

***Princess Celestia***: I'm glad, I came here because I wanted to tell you that Cadance is coming to visit tomorrow and we should prepare for her arrival.

***Twilight Sparkle***: Gasps, really? Woohoo! Ur, I mean, very good I'll start the preparations.

***Princess Celestia***: You know...Twilight, you shouldn't hold everything in, you need to face that-

***Twilight Sparkle***: You know I wonder what's for breakfast, I hope it's pancakes.

***Princess Luna***: Good morning my sister, what is the matter?

***Princess Celestia***: It's nothing Luna, it's just...I'm worried about her.

***Princess Luna***: I am too sister, but this is a normal process of grief.

***Princess Celestia***: Yes I know, but it's been thirty years, it's time for her to move on.

***Princess Luna***: Remember when I was trapped on the moon for one thousand winters, did you forget about me and move on then?

***Princess Celestia***: Of course not, how could I forget you my dear sister.

***Princess Luna***: Of course I know, it's okay but my point is that Twilight is experiencing the pain inside her at this very moment, soon, it'll disappear like her memories of them. It just takes time.

***Princess Celestia***: I do hope you're right Luna

***Twilight Sparkle***: Oh girls, I miss you so much.

[Memory]

***Twilight Sparkle***: I miss you all so much.

[Mysterious Laughter]

***Twilight Sparkle***: Who...who are you?

***Mysterious Voices***: Oh, don't you remember us Twilight?

***Pinkie Pie***: Aw come on Twilight.

***Rarity***: Has it really been that long?

***Applejack***: That you don't remember?

***Fluttershy***: Your nearest.

***Rainbow Dash***: And dearest friends?

***Twilight Sparkle***: You are not my friends, you can't be because my friends are...

***Rainbow Dash***: What dead? Of course they are, you're the last one Twilight the lonely alicorn.

***Twilight Sparkle***: You're wrong, I'm not alone. Now disappear before I'll make you leave.

***Pinkie Pie***: Oh Twilight, poor sweet innocent Twilight, how are you gonna do that?

***Applejack***: We know you can't wield the Elements anymore.

***Rarity***: Why don't you go running and crying to Princess Celestia because this is our domain

[Spell blast]

**Pinkie Pie**: [laughs] Oh Twilight, you can't get away from us that easily.

**Rainbow Dash**: And your elements, your precious elements are so we could keep our place in this world.

[Spell]

**Twilight Sparkle**: CELESTIA, LUNA EQUESTRIA'S UNDER ATTACK!

**Princess Celestia**: Now tell us what happened

**Twilight Sparkle**: I was visiting the Tree of Harmony and then this black mist showed up and went into the trees and turned them black and then these shadows appeared and they-they looked like my friends except different. They had wide eyes and sharp teeth I grabbed the Elements and escaped before they destroyed them but I-I don't know what to do.

**Princess Luna**: Did you say these creatures were like shadows?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Yes, and they knew everything about me.

**Princess Celestia**: I think we know what you encountered Twilight.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Well, what is it?

**Princess Luna**: It's the virus that once infected me long ago.

**Twilight Sparkle**: [gasps] What do you mean?

**Princess Luna**: It is called The Nightmare, it feeds on darkness and disappears and it is the very creature that caused me to blind my judgement and become my worst fear.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Wait, you mean that the nightmare is what transformed you into Nightmare Moon?

**Princess Luna**: The very same and if you encountered it that means it's searching out a new host.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Does that mean that my friends are now?

**Princess Celestia**: No, no of course not, the Nightmare just chose the shape of your friends to confuse and anger you. Which I can see did a pretty good job.

**Princess Luna**: But the problem of the matter is, that a darkness is approaching more terrifying then you'll ever know.

**Twilight Sparkle**: But and how do we defeat it.

**Princess Celestia**: The only way to save Equestria is to use the elements once more.

**Twilight Sparkle**: But I can't wield them anymore, not since they left.

**Princess Luna**: That is true sister, there must be another way.

**Twilight Sparkle**: I'm sorry everyone, if I could stop being useless this problem could be solved.

**Princess Celestia**: No Twilight, this isn't your fault. We will find another way.

**Princess Luna**: She is right Twilight there has to be another way to defeat the Nightmare.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Nah, there's nothing here. I've been searching for hours but there's absolutely nothing. Oh.

**Galaxy Star**: Princess Twilight, is that you?

**Twilight Sparkle**: [surprised yell] Oh, it's just you, what are you doing?

**Galaxy Star**: I was just looking for the latest volume of Pinnacles and Potions, it's going be in my next exam in a week. I have to study up.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Of course, I remember when I was a student just like you.

**Galaxy Star**: [laughs] That is so weird, seeing as I'm your student now, Princess Twilight.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Yes that was a long time ago

**Galaxy Star**: Well anyways, what are you looking for princess? Maybe I can help.

**Twilight Sparkle**: I don't think you should be involved in this.

**Galaxy Star**: Why? Is it dangerous?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Yes and I don't want you to get hurt.

**Galaxy Star**: But this is what my studies are for, I want to help you Princess. Please, tell me.

**Twilight Sparkle**: I guess you're right but I can't endanger you any further. I'm sorry.

**Galaxy Star**: I understand princess but if you ever need anypony to talk to, I'm always here.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Thank you that really means a lot.

**Galaxy Star**: No problem but I'm sure whatever the problem is it can be fixed with the elements. I read so much about them already. Like how they helped you save Equestria from monsters, villains and even sirens. I remember once that they said- What's wrong princess?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Nothing Galaxy it's just...I can't use the elements anymore

**Galaxy Star**: WHAT!? What do you mean you can't use the elements anymore? Aren't the elements the main reason for your kingdom being the princess of friendship and all? Oh sorry guess I'm not helping that much.

**Twilight Sparkle**: No it's okay. I know that the elements were part of my reason for being an Alicorn. It's just when my friends...left...so did the elements, see.

[spell cast]

**Galaxy Star**: Woah, they looks so...dull

**Twilight Sparkle**: They didn't always look like that. They used to be bright beacons of light that gave hope and joy to everypony but one by one as each friend of mine left so did the element. It became dark and dull and slowly cracked, I tried to use them but it's useless. They're never coming back and so aren't the elements.

**Galaxy Star**: I'm sorry Twilight but I'm sure the elements aren't completely gone though, they're probably deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep down somewhere

**Twilight Sparkle**: I'm not too sure about that Gal

**Galaxy Star**: Well, you never know princess. Now I got to go practice my teleportation cause I keep ending up in Saddle Arabia. [laughs] Maybe I should buy a train ticket first, just in case.

[snoring]

**Princess Celestia**: Twilight, where are you?

**Twilight Sparkle**: THE ANSWER IS SIXTYFIVE! Er I mean.

**Princess Celestia**: There you are Twilight, have you been in the library all night?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Er, maybe. I was just trying to find someone that will help us defeat the nightmare but I have nothing.

**Princess Celestia**: Well thank you for your dedication Twilight but I think I found an answer to the problem.

**Twilight Sparkle**: REALLY!? WHAT IS IT!?

**Princess Celestia**: Calm down, I know of a zebra in Ponyville who can maybe help with the problem.

**Twilight Sparkle**: In...Ponyville?

**Princess Celestia**: Yes, I know you don't like going there Twilight but this may be the only opportunity we have.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Of course, I understand. It's just...hard, when do we leave.

**Princess Celestia**: Oh Twilight I wish I could come with you but Luna and I have to prepare for Cadance's visit. I know it is difficult but you'll have to go without us.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh well if it 's the only way then. Yes, I'll leave immediately.

**Princess Celestia**: Here, take this, so you won't be recognized.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Thank you Celestia.

**Princess Celestia**: One more thing Twilight, since Luna and I will not be able to come with you, I already asked Galaxy if she would accompany you. She is very excited to learn about where you lived.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Really? Oh thank you Celestia.

**Princess Celestia**: Of course Twilight now you better get going, the carriage leaves soon.

**Twilight Sparkle**: I think I gonna take the train for old times sake.

**Princess Celestia**: Very well, good luck Twilight

[train]

**Galaxy Star**: Woah, this is so cool, I've read about Ponyville in books and you told me a bit about it but we're actually here. [squeals] So exciting. Oh sorry princess, I'll try to contain myself from now on.

**Twilight Sparkle**: [laughs] It's okay Gal it is exciting to see where I used to live and here do you think you could call me just Twilight. It might look a bit suspicious if you call me princess.

**Galaxy Star**: Okay you got it prince- I mean Twilight. So you're gonna give me the grand tour or what?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Okay well, that's where I used to study for my exams [points] and over there is where the mayor's building is and er...

**Rarity**: Oh darling that dress simply gorgeous.

**Applejack**: Thanks so much for helping me Twilight, I couldn't have done it without ya.

**Pinkie Pie**: Ooh, look at that over there

**Fluttershy**: Oh Twilight can you help me find some new food for Angel?

**Rainbow Dash**: Hey Twilight, think you can beat me in a race?

**Mane 5**: Twilight

**Rarity**: Twilight

**Applejack/Rarity**: Twilight

**Mane 5/Galaxy Star**: Twilight

**Galaxy Star**: You okay Twilight? You kinda spaced out there.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Yeah Gal, let's try to find that zebra quickly. Excuse me but do you know a zebra that lives around here?

**Fruit Pony**: A zebra? Well the only zebra that comes around here is Zillia but she lives in the Everfree Forest.

**Galaxy Star**: The Everfree Forest!? Why the heck does she live there?

**Fruit Pony**: Beats me, a couple of us have tried to convince her to move out of that shabby shack and into Ponyville but she always says no. I guess it belongs to her mother or something, I don't know.

**Twilight Sparkle**: You mean Zecora?

**Fruit Pony**: Yeah I think that was it now are you gonna buy something or play a game of 20 questions.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Of course, thank you you've been very helpful

**Fruit Pony**: Sure kid have a good day

**Galaxy Star**: Please don't tell me this means what I think it means?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Yep, we have to go through the Everfree Forest.

**Galaxy Star**: [screams] Something touched my hoof, oh okay it was just a vine. [screams] Something touched my other hoof, oh okay it was only a twig. [screams] Something touched my-

**Twilight Sparkle**: Galaxy...it's a forest things are going to touch you

**Galaxy Star**: I know I know but I don't do outdoors. Why do you think I'm studying magic in Canterlot? To get away from the wood.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Well you don't have to worry cuz we are here. [knocks door] Hello Zillia?

**Zillia**: Hello, who are you?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Hello Zillia, my name is Twilight-

**Zillia**: Yes, yes, I know of you Miss Sparkle. The princess of friendship has come to find me, so this must be big.

**Twilight Sparkle**: How do you know me?

**Zillia**: My mother Zecora talked of you quite fondly in the past, I do say it's quite an honour to meet you Miss Sparkle.

**Twilight Sparkle**: I'm not sure I would call it an honour I'm just a normal old pony. Anyway we need your help, this creature called the nightmare is threatening to destroy Equestria and we're wondering if-

**Zillia**: Old yes, normal no. I don't think there's a sense of normality about in you Miss Sparkle. In fact-

[Twilight yells]

**Zillia**: Here it is, this is a collection of complications you've overcome. See, you are far from normal.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Erm Zillia that's great but Princess Celestia said you can help me with-

**Zillia**: Yes yes, oh my soup is ready.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Zillia we really need your help with-

**Zillia**: Maybe I should head into Ponyville later and get some carrots. Hmm, yes carrots sound good.

**Twilight Sparkle**: ZILLIA! We really need your help with the Nightmare.

**Zillia**: I am sorry but I can't help you Miss Sparkle.

**Twilight Sparkle**: But Princess Celestia said that-

**Zillia**: I can't help you Miss Sparkle because you can't wield the elements like that

**Twilight Sparkle**: Like what?

**Zillia**: Like that. The elements can't be used now because you are like that.

**Twilight Sparkle**: I'm sorry but I don't understand, how can I stop the Nightmare?

**Zillia**: The problem is that you're asking the wrong question Miss Sparkle, instead you should be asking another.

**Twilight Sparkle**: I still don't know what that means.

[Open Your Heart]

**Zillia**: Well on you go, I have many things to do today

**Twilight Sparkle**: Wait, you didn't even answer my question.

[Door slam]

**Twilight Sparkle**: [exhausted yell] This is the last time I ask for help from her, let's go Gal.

[Galaxy hums Open Your Heart]

**Twilight Sparkle**: GALAXY!

**Galaxy Star**: What? It's catchy.

**Princess Celestia**: Welcome back Twilight, did you find Zillia?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Yes but she wasn't very helpful.

**Princess Luna**: What do you mean?

**Twilight Sparkle**: She just threw this book at me and slammed the door in our faces, now we still don't know how to stop the Nightmares.

**Princess Celestia**: And that's all she said?

**Twilight Sparkle**: She also said something about going back in time and finding myself but she wouldn't explain what that meant.

**Princess Luna**: Let me see the book Twilight

**Princess Celestia**: Actually Zillia might have been onto something, this is a book of old spells Starswirl threw away in the middle of his studies.

**Galaxy Star**: Woah, you mean THE Starswirl?

**Twilight Sparkle**: But these are some dusty old spells that don't even work, how are these going to help us?

**Princess Luna**: I'm not sure but I do believe Zillia wouldn't have given this book to you Twilight, if there wasn't a reason for it.

**Galaxy Star**: Maybe the spell isn't useless but unfinished

**Twilight Sparkle**: What do you mean unfinished?

**Galaxy Star**: Well, you became an Alicorn by finishing one of Starswirl's spells, so maybe this is the same thing.

**Twilight Sparkle**: Galaxy, you're a genius. Look, here is a spell that allows a pony to go back in time but only for a short while but what's missing?

**Galaxy Star**: What don't you recite it and see what happens?

**Twilight Sparkle**: Er I'd rather not. Seeing as last time I almost destroyed my friend's lives. Hmm, wait, there - when one heart is lost in the depth of time itself, one must go and set things right by rediscovering the place of which they began.

[Explosion]

**Princesses Celestia, Luna & Galaxy Star**: TWILIGHT!?
