#### Hot Rock Revenge

While crossing the lava, Cole, Applejack, Megan, the Upply, Wu, Vania, Gaia, Kitonaru and Chompy stumble across a Lava Monster who rises from the lava. Its tentacles attacks the group, so Korgran uses his axe to cut the tentacles, but the Magma Monster grows more in replacement. Cole uses his upgraded Elemental Powers to move rocks and use them to attack the Lava Monster.

He also orders Wu to deflect the lava balls from the Lava Monster, Linette and Gaia using magic vines against them, Maylia uses Mini Submerge Flood against the monster and for Fungus to distract the beast with his Ice magic. Finally, he instructs Plundar to get a boulder which Adam climbs for. The Lava Monster attempts to burn Plundar, but Fungus uses his magic to freeze the monster. Adam then pushes the boulder and huge rock lands on the Lava Monster causing it to sink.

#### The Core of Shintaro

The Upply, Cole, Applejack, Megan, Wu, Vania, Gaia, Kitonaru and Chompy are being chased by the Lava Monster they battled earlier. They discover some mine carts and decide to use them to escape the Lava Monster.

Little ponies spreading cheer
Give a toy, a hug, a sweater
Memories that last all year

Large, medium, and small
Sometimes the most important things
Aren't very big at all

Can't believe you didn't want to be here
You'd have had a blast, I guarantee here

Come on and feel the beat
Life is better when you're giving
Each time you do it feels so sweet

The present's always filled with presents
So come on, open your eyes
Spend time with ponies just like you
And watch your spirits rise
**[Jay]**
The present's always filled with presents
Take a look around
The reason for the holiday
Is quite easily found

It used to be so simple
It was a world I understood
I didn't know what I didn't know
And life seemed pretty good
But now the darkness rises
From somewhere deep inside of me
Her power overtakes me
Can I keep this midnight from getting free?
If I can stay with the light
I know I'll be free
And I can start to be whole
I can start to be me
But instead I am struggling
With all that I see
And these friends
Mustn't see the midnight in me!
The midnight in me!
They mustn't see the midnight in me...

From somewhere deep inside of me
**[Twilight Sparkle and Lloyd]**
Their power overtake us
Can we keep this midnight from getting free?
**[Twilight Sparkle]**
If we can stay with the light
I know we’ll be free

And we can start to be whole
I can start to be me

Jolly Ol' St. Nick

**Jolly Ol' St. Nick** is a popular Christmas song written by Benjamin Hanby originally published in 1881. Its melody is similar to the original version of the chorus of Jingle Bells with a chord progression similar to that of Pachelbel's Canon. Spike's version serves as the eighth track on the albums It's a Pony Kind of Christmas and A Joyful Christmas.

## Lyrics

**[Spike]**
Jolly old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way
Don't you tell a single soul what I'm gonna say
Christmas Eve is coming soon, now, you dear old man
Whisper what you'll bring to me, tell me if you can
Jolly old St. Nicholas
Whatcha gonna bring to me?
Is it a stash of gems that I can eat all day and night?
Or is it a diamond ring that I can give to Rarity?
When the clock is striking twelve and I'm fast asleep
Down the chimney broad and black, with your pack you'll creep
All the stockings you will find hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know
Scatta-boop boop, badda-do bap ba!
Come and gimme those Christmas presents
Scootily-boop, scootily-boop, scootily-boop ba!
Don't make me wait no more
Babba-doop boop
Give me some presents!
Doodle-oop boop daddila boop ba!
Scabba-doo, scabba-doo
Come give it to me, Santa, yeah!
Pinkie Pie wants a candy hat and Applejack wants to cook
Rainbow wants a lightning chain and Twilight wants a book
Rarity wants a set of lace and Fluttershy wants a nest
Now choose for me, dear Santa Claus, what you think is best
Jolly old St. Nicholas
Whatcha gonna bring to me?
Jolly old St. Nicholas
Whatcha gonna bring
Whatcha gonna bring to meeeeee?
Scattily-doo, scattily-doo, scattily-doo wow!
Yeah!

The chorus samples the 1978 song later used as the theme to the 1985 sitcom The Golden Girls. It is also featured as the thirteenth song in the album, "Into the Prime Empire".

## Lyrics

**[Rachel Platten]**
If you threw a party
And invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for bein' a friend
I count on you and you count on me
It's as easy as one-two-three
And we're connected eternally
Let's dance around by the firelight
And catch the stars falling from the sky
Tell your secrets, and I'll tell you mine
Out of seven billion people in the world
Can't believe that I found you (Hey! Hey!)
I know you've got my back and I got yours
Call on me and I'll remind you (Yeah, you da best!)
Yeah, if you threw a party
And invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for bein' a friend
A friend, a friend
Thank you for bein' a friend
A friend, a friend
Thank you for bein' a friend
You understand without sayin' a word
Your heart is gold, but you put me first
And help me reach for what I deserve
Out of seven billion people in the world
Can't believe that I found you (Hey! Hey!)
And just in case you're feeling insecure
Call on me and I'll remind you (I will remind you!)
And if you threw a party
And invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for bein' a friend
A friend, a friend
Thank you for bein' a friend
A friend, a friend
Thank you for bein' a friend
So c'mon, call anyone over
They'll tell you the same thing I told ya
We'll always be shoulder to shoulder
I gotcha, I gotcha
So c'mon, call anyone over
They'll tell you the same thing I told ya
We'll always be shoulder to shoulder
I gotcha, I gotcha
And if you threw a party
And invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for bein' a friend
A friend, a friend
Thank you for bein' a friend
A friend, a friend
Thank you for bein' a friend
Say Goodbye to the Holiday

**Say Goodbye to the Holiday** is the third song of Season 6: The Changing Effect of LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Masters of Friendship and the second of six songs featured in the eighth episode "A Christmas Tail".

## Lyrics

**[Starlight Glimmer]**
Happy Hearth's Warming, they say in the street
Happy Hearth's Warming, they think they're so sweet
Words said so often that they lack any meaning
Why should I join in when I could be intervening?
Everypony loves this cursed holiday
But would they be better off with it out of the way?
Well, okay
Say goodbye to the holiday
With my magic, I'll erase it
The greatest gift that I give today
And everypony will have to face it
No more little games for you to play
After you say goodbye to the holiday
Goodbye, Hearth's Warming, you had a good run
Goodbye, Hearth's Warming, it's over, you're done
Finally set free from your forced celebrations
No need to reply to your trite invitations
Calendar shorter by a single day
Is my magic up to the test?
Time to see, I can't delay
Say goodbye to the holiday
Prepare the spell, no hesitation
All memory shall fade away
See Equestria's new transformation
No more shall anypony say
Happy Hearth's Warming...
[sinister laughter]
...after today!
After today...

Why are there so many
Songs about friendship
And what's on the other side
Dreams are illusions
The light full of visions
And darkness have swept till light
So we've been told and some Choose to believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see
Someday we'll find it
Our Friendship Connection
My good friends, the dreamers and me
Reach the Dream, reach the stars
Reach the team where you are
Lead the way through the light
Seize the day till the night
Take a stand, hand in hand
Harmony's everywhere
And no matter how hard we might survive
As friends would able to reach the dream

Rarity For You

**Rarity For You** is the Manehattan branch of Rarity's Carousel Boutique.

## Depictions in the Series

Prior to the events before Season 8, Rarity and her friends get the boutique ready for its grand opening, and Coco Pommel, Plaid Stripes, Blue Bobbin, "Betsey Trotson", and "Stärke Kragen" serve as its employees.

### The Oni and the Dragon

Rarity brings Fluttershy to this store and explains the various sections that the boutique is split up into—including chic, classic, and modern—and how to run the cash register. As the customer enters the store, Fluttershy makes an application for making a sale, but intimidated by the customer's brazen Manehattan personality. Rarity leaves Fluttershy to look after the store while heading to Canterlot, for assistance with the boutique employees.

After several failed attempts, Fluttershy retreats to the store's back room, where the raccoons encourage her to follow Rarity's advice and put on a special outfit. In this outfit, Fluttershy adopts a more sophisticated and haughty persona to match that of the customer, and therefore she is able to make a sale. Becoming a sophisticated salespony, she is able to have good business. However, many customers with different personas, Fluttershy got stressed out and she snaps at her raccoon friends for not catering to the customers properly. She even starts to drive away customers with her over-the-top personalities. She eventually gets so upset with the raccoons that they got fired.

When Rarity sees the state the shop is in and Fluttershy's insensitive views toward its clientele, she fires Fluttershy three times—once for each of her individual new personas. Finally dropping the act, Fluttershy apologizes for taking her salespony characters too far and for hurting her raccoon friends' feelings. She explains that acting like the ponies of Saddle Row gave her the confidence to interact with them.

Rarity tells Fluttershy that she wanted a friend to run her shop instead of someone like the rude ponies of Saddle Row and that she already had all the strength and confidence she needed to run it.

### Two Lies, One Truth

Caralisa went to the store to retrieve her damage clothing which she accidentally bought a dress that Smolder wore.
