## Synopsis

A jobless man based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania decided to stop poverty in Africa until he gets a permanent job, but no one wants to join him! What will he do?

## Plot

#### Prologue: Day in the Life of Alvin Bradley

The film opens in Kensington Avenue, one of the dirtiest places in the Philadelphia suburbs filled tons of homeless and jobless people sitting next to the road and Alvin Bradley is no exception. Experiencing a low income and not having a permanent job, he sits most of the time next to the sidewalk with all of the other homeless poor people. However, despite being a poor person, Alvin is the only poor man in Philadelphia who does not get involved in crimes at all. In order not to continue his poverty, Alvin permanently leaves Kensington Avenue to start a new life.

After leaving Philadelphia, Alvin wore out of exhaustion due to walking by foot out in the middle of nowhere, so he took a nap under a tree. At the same time, a 2005 Lexus LS430 driven by Ringo spotted Alvin taking a nap, so he pulls over to offer him a lift. Much to his delight, he enters the car and leaves afterwards. Given the fact that Alvin hasn't heard the name Ringo Sanchez before, Ringo adds that he is a bass guitarist for the rock band Flash Drive, so the duo introduces each other.

#### Sci-Twi's Death, Utah Takes Place

Fade to York, Maine, a heartbroken day has struck the Mane 10 when Twilight Sparkle playing her role as the band's backing vocal singer for years started to suffer a leukemia disease. The band's members followed by Cubby, Izzy, Jake, Jewel, Sofia and their kids as well as the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Vivian and Yippy) began to mourn and a heartbroken Greg does not have the attempt to watch Twilight die since she has been in the band for years. Once Twilight says her last words, she exhales her last breath and die afterwards, leaving the others heartbroken, crying in tears.

After Twilight is buried at the Old Parish Cemetary the next morning located 4 minutes away from their house, the Mane 9 started to feel gloomy and unmotivated after the two Twilight Sparkle twins die until Nevada showed up, leaving the Mane 9 shocked. When a concerned Nevada cheers the bandmates about Twilight's death due to a leukemia disease, she brings her little sister Utah who recently quits her job working at Papa's Pastaria in Venice, Italy prior to joining the band itself. Given the fact that Utah hasn't joined a rock band before, Starlight Glimmer hires Utah as a backing vocal singer, much to her joy. Nevada left the house afterwards and Rarity is attempting to make a new outfit for Utah.

#### Alvin Meets Team Flash Drive, Nahwan Nafisah Shows Up

Fade to the Flash Drive headquarters, a confused Flash Sentry is peculiar when Alvin is a poor person from Philadelphia's Kensington Avenue until the duo introduce each other, including Watermelody and Oona. James added that the band decided to held a 24,000 kilometer roadtrip from the United States all the way to Gamboru, Nigeria. Given the fact that Alvin hasn't heard the country Nigeria before, Watermelody adds that Nigeria is an African country on the Gulf of Guinea, flooded with poor people. An excited Alvin is willing to join the roadtrip, so he joins along.

As the sun rises the next morning, team Flash Drive has prepared to take a long roadtrip from the United States all the way to Nigeria. Alvin does not wanna be left behind, but due to the lack of space in Zandar's new 7-seater Range Rover, Zandar apologizes to Alvin since there is no room left for him inside his Range Rover, leaving a dismayed Alvin. In order not to leave Alvin heartbroken, Brawly convinces Alvin to hitch a ride with Nahwan Nafisah instead. Given the fact that Alvin hasn't heard the name Nahwan Nafisah before, James adds that Nahwan Nafisah is his close senior and The Imperial March song from Star Wars is played to reveal a Black Raven Cadillac Escalade V showing up. Once the Escalade stops, the engine turns off, the driver's door opens and out goes Nahwan Nafisah in style with her black clothing. Team Flash Drive introduces Nafisah to Alvin, much to her joy. Due to the lack of room inside the new Range Rover, Nafisah allows Alvin to enter her Escalade V, much to his joy. Afterwards, the 14 pals in two family SUVs started to depart.

#### Utah's New Outfit, Alvin Meets Nahwan Nafisah

Back at the Mane 10's house, Rarity has designed a new outfit for Utah which has a yellow long-sleeved jacket with black stripes on its sleeves over a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt underneath, black pants, black shoes with yellow laces, a yellow knit hat and a black face mask. After Rarity gives Utah a purple eyeshadow and wears her new outfit, an excited Utah is satisfied with the design and willing to show the outfit to Nevada. Also, Sunset makes a new geode necklace for Utah that has a cutie mark of a snowflake. And thus, Utah is given the title ***ELEMENT OF INNOCENCE***.

On the way to Nigeria, inside Nafisah's Escalade V, Alvin is delightful to ride inside the Escalade V for the first time. Only to find Lightning Dust, Alberto, Perri, Penny and Prudence riding along, they introduce each other. Given the fact that Alvin hasn't heard the name ***NAHWAN*** before, Perri explains to Alvin that a ***NAHWAN*** indicates ***A QUICK LEARNER***, ***AN INTELLIGENT PERSON*** and ***CAN DEAL WITH IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS***. Alberto adds that Nafisah is originally born in Malaysia as ***Nahwan Nafisah binti Norazianto***, but then changes to ***Marjorie Nahwan Stephanie Nafisah*** after entering the United States, leaving a fascinated Alvin.

#### Nafisah Reunites with Jonna Jinton, Fighting Poverty in Africa

After taking the ferry from Canada to Greenland, both the Range Rover and the Escalade V enters Nuuk, Greenland's capital and afterwards, they proceed to the country's center section where they experience the Midnight Sun that does not end for 6 months. Afterwards, team Flash Drive (Flash Sentry, Brawly Beats, Ringo, James, Watermelody, Oona and Zandar) and team Escalade (Nafisah, Alvin, Lightning Dust, Alberto, Perri, Penny and Prudence) decided to sleep in the country's center portion to remain energized until the next morning. The next morning, the 14 pals crosses through Iceland, the Faroe Islands, into Norway's ferry terminal of Bergen, through the city of Tromsø and enters Sweden's Lapland region by crossing the borders of Norway and Sweden in the North. Inside Zandar's Range Rover, an exhausted team Flash Drive sleeps inside the SUV, prompting James to drive the vehicle. James tells Brawly that Nafisah wants to revisit an old associate of hers, so they proceed to a village called ***Grundtjärn***. Given the fact that Brawly hasn't heard the name Jonna Jinton before, James adds that Jonna Jinton is Sweetie Belle's idol from Sweden who is a filmmaker, photographer, artist and YouTuber. Also, Ringo adds that Jonna is the perfect match.

After arriving at ***Grundtjärn***, the two SUVs arrives at Jonna's house until both Johan and Jonna got out reuniting with Nafisah and Prudence. Noticing that Nafisah and Prudence brings some guests, the duo allows them to enter. Once the sun sets only over the horizon, nearly everybody has dinner together. Given the fact that Alberto and Penny hasn't met Jonna Jinton before, they took a chance to do so, including team Flash Drive. In addition, Nafisah adds that the whole crew are on the run to Gamboru, Nigeria near the Cameroon border, which is what the whole pals are up to. When Johan asks Prudence why are they heading for Nigeria, she adds that the whole convoy decided to help poor people who lacks food, water, shelter and even education. Penny adds that most countries in Africa suffered poverty due to cruel dictators, weather change and lack of facilities such as a clean toilet, proper house and many more. This action prompts Johan and Jonna to bring dozens of LED lights and food supplies to stop poverty in Africa.

#### Utah's Video Chat with Nahwan Nafisah, The Mane 10 Joins Humanity

Back at the Mane 10's house, the Mane 10 (Applejack, Fluttershy, Greg, Hacky, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer and Utah) are all asleep until 3:00 AM where Utah's phone starts to vibrate, so she picks it up. Only to find Nahwan Nafisah onscreen, Utah tells Nafisah that Twilight dies of a leukemia disease, leaving a horrified Nafisah giving condolences to the Twilight twins. Apart from that, Nafisah adds that she and her gang are on the run to Nigeria to stop poverty due to water pollution, so Utah is confident to join as well. Nafisah reminds Utah to tell Sunset Shimmer that the band Flash Drive are on the run to stop poverty in Africa.

As the sun rises the next morning, the Mane 10 are having breakfast together. When Hacky Zak asks Utah that Nafisah is on the run to Nigeria, she agrees his question. In addition, Utah added that Alberto, Perri, Penny, Prudence and team Flash Drive joins the team as well, leaving a shocked Sunset Shimmer that Flash joins as well. Greg suggests that the Mane 10 will use their sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and pickup trucks since the whole agency started to deal with rough terrain. Utah will bring Fluttershy, Hacky, Rarity and Starlight in her L405 Range Rover Supercharged LWB while Applejack, Greg, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Sunset uses the Lexus LX600 F-Sport. The Mane 10 places hands in a circle, shouts the words ***STATEGY, FIGHT, CONQUER*** and afterwards, they depart together.

#### On the Run to Nigeria, Sleeping in Sudan

Back in Europe, team Flash Drive (Flash Sentry, Brawly Beats, Ringo, James, Watermelody, Oona and Zandar), team Escalade (Nafisah, Alvin, Lightning Dust, Alberto, Perri, Penny and Prudence), Johan and Jonna began to depart for Africa. Inside Johan's Mitsubishi L200 (***TRITON*** in Asia, Australia and New Zealand except for the Philippines using the ***STRADA*** name), Jonna is watching the Disney Junior TV series Jake and the Never Land Pirates inside the L200's radio screen. After a few hours, a confused Jonna has no idea why Nafisah likes to watch Jake and the Never Land Pirates so much, including Johan himself. This question prompts the duo to figure out why the students in both Canterlot High School and Crystal Prep are obsessed with Jake and the Never Land Pirates. Inside Nafisah's Escalade V, Alvin is fascinated watching the Disney Junior TV series Jake and the Never Land Pirates using the stuck-on LCD monitors behind the Escalade's front seats. When Alvin asks Nafisah why she likes to watch the show Jake and the Never Land Pirates so much, Nafisah adds that the characters Jake, Izzy and Cubby are the main characters to come in mind. In addition, Prudence adds that Jake and the Never Land Pirates is originally made for children below 5 years old, but many people are obsessed with it 40 years later.

After crossing nearly every single country in Europe, the Balkans, Asia's Middle Eastern region and into Africa, team Flash Drive (Flash Sentry, Brawly Beats, Ringo, James, Watermelody, Oona and Zandar), team Escalade (Nafisah, Alvin, Lightning Dust, Alberto, Perri, Penny and Prudence), Johan and Jonna ended up sleeping at the side of the road in Sudan after long exhausting hours of driving. Once nighttime falls, Jonna builds a campfire made out of logs and the whole crew gathered around the campfire. When Jonna asks Nafisah why she likes to watch the Disney Junior TV series Jake and the Never Land Pirates so much, she adds that many students in both Canterlot High School and Crystal Prep are obsessed with the show itself. In addition, Brawly adds that he and his bandmates use to go on a roadtrip to Washington DC with the trio and James replies that the characters Jake, Izzy and Cubby are the first thing to keep in mind when mentioning the show Jake and the Never Land Pirates. Watermelody says that the show Jake and the Never Land Pirates was originally made for children below 5 years old, but nearly every single student gets obsessed with the show Jake and the Never Land Pirates 40 years afterwards. Also, a curious Johan wonders about the tiny bag thing around Izzy's neck until Prudence claims that the small bag thing happens to be Pixie Dust. Given the fact that Johan and Jonna hasn't heard the word Pixie Dust before, Penny adds that Pixie Dust is a magical golden glitter-like powder that grants the abilities of flight. In addition, Perri adds that all Pixie Dust makes humans fly like Peter Pan, fascinating Johan and Jonna in the process.

#### Team Flash Drive and Team Escalade Arrives in Nigeria, The Mane 10 and Cutie Mark Crusaders on the Run

After crossing the borders of Chad, Cameroon and into Nigeria, team Flash Drive (Flash Sentry, Brawly Beats, Ringo, James, Watermelody, Oona and Zandar), team Escalade (Nafisah, Alvin, Lightning Dust, Alberto, Perri, Penny and Prudence), Johan and Jonna arrives in Gamboru, only to be aware that the whole town is filthy with tons of trash, clogged drains, black smoke from factories and polluted water until the black people ahead of their eyes gathered around and clears a big path for the two SUVs and a pickup truck to park and stop at a safe spot. After turning off the engines, the 14 pals left their vehicles and Nafisah shouts to the crowd that she has landed in Gamboru, Nigeria. The black people are confused at who Nafisah is until she introduces herself to the black people. Perri stands up and announces to the people of Nigeria that the whole troop came here to clean up the whole country and fix the water sewage system, much to their joy.

Out in the middle of nowhere, the Mane 10 (Applejack, Fluttershy, Greg, Hacky, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer and Utah) in their Lexus LX600 and Range Rover with Potion Nova and Photo Finish inside the LX600's 3rd row seats are trying the plough through the wavy sand dunes in Sudan that connects El-Obeid and El Geneina. During their journey, Nova and Photo Finish sleeps in the 3rd row seats and Applejack feels exhausted driving her LX600 for hours, prompting Nova, Photo Finish and the Mane 10 to stop in the middle of the desert, shut the vehicles off and take a nap for 5 hours. When a concerned Potion Nova asks Utah that Twilight dies of a leukemia disease and Nevada's little sister, she agrees Nova's question. Utah adds that she used to work at Papa's Pastaria in Venice, Italy for more than 37 years before shifting to the Mane 10. At the same time, a Celestial Silver Metallic 2023 Toyota Sequoia Limited 8-seater ridden by the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Vivian and Yippy) passes by as well. The Sequoia's front passenger window opens to reveal Yippy behind the wheel and Vivian sitting next to her along with Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle in the 2nd row seats as well as Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in the 3rd row. Applejack tells Yippy to take a nap for a while, so Yippy moves to the front, stops the vehicle, shut the engine off and left the SUV to take a nap as well.

#### The Mane 10 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders Sleeping in Chad, The Amber Crew on the Run

After 5 hours sleeping in the middle of the desert in Sudan, the Mane 10 (Applejack, Fluttershy, Greg, Hacky, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer and Utah), Potion Nova, Photo Finish and the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Vivian and Yippy) proceeds their journey to Nigeria until heavy rainfall pours down onto everything, prompting the Mane 10, Nova and Photo Finish to quit their journey and sleep at an empty parking lot in N'Djamena, Chad's capital near the border of Cameroon until the next morning. As nighttime falls in Chad and the rain stops, the Mane 10, Nova, Photo Finish and the Crusaders had a campfire together until a miserable Sunset Shimmer claims that Prudence has been missing for nearly 6 months and Fluttershy adds that Cooper has been working at the Pancakeria alone. When Nova asks Greg that Cooper and Prudence are the Pancakeria's workers, he agrees Nova's question and serves nearly every single plate of pancakes, french toasts and waffles to customers for years. Utah explains that Cooper and Prudence are based in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada where Papa's Pancakeria is present. Due to exhaustion, the Mane 10, Nova, Photo Finish and the Crusaders put out the fire and sleep afterwards.

At approximately 3:00 AM, a group of pickup trucks by the Amber Crew: a Ford F250 Super Duty Lariat ridden by Dipper Pines, Emelina Grace, Lyra Heartstrings, Sweetie Drops and Derpy Hooves inside followed by a Solar Octane Toyota Tundra TRD Pro ridden by Huckleberry Pie, Hildegard, Amber, Blueberry Muffin and Mabel Pines are on the run to Nigeria to stop poverty after realizing that Nafisah brings Prudence with her. Bringing tons of LED lights and solar panels in the truck's cargo bed, they attempted to install solar panels in poor people's houses since most of the children in Nigeria often use candles and fire source when dealing with important school work. In addition, they even bring some toilet bowls since the agencies are dealing with the water sewage system and plumbing to cut down maintenance costs. Even so, nearly every single government from other countries using trailer trucks, 4WD pickup trucks, heavy machinery such as bulldozers, excavators and dump trucks as well as box trucks carrying food supplies, modern tech and agriculture equipment joins in as well, so the whole world teamed up together to stop poverty and decontaminate the environment.

#### Nafisah's Speech on Poverty, Final Feast in Nigeria

After days, weeks, months and years of modernizing the whole continent of Africa (including rebuilding its schools, markets, houses and other facilities), Nigeria's politician Bola Tinubu becomes extremely proud of Nafisah's effort into stopping poverty. At the community hall, Mayor Tinubu stood on the podium and makes his speech about team Flash Drive, team Nafisah, Johan and Jonna convoying together and help the poor people by modernizing the whole continent of Africa with tons of modern machinery, LED lighting, decontaminating the polluted water source and rebuild the water sewage system, much to the crowd's joy applauding for Nafisah. Even so, journalists around the world (including CBC News, CNBC, Al Jazeera and more) came to film her speech.

After the speech ends, team Flash Drive (Flash Sentry, Brawly Beats, Ringo, James, Watermelody, Oona and Zandar), team Escalade (Nafisah, Alvin, Lightning Dust, Alberto, Perri, Penny and Prudence), Johan and Jonna had a feast with all of the journalists across the globe. While they are having their meal, Johan and Jonna are shocked when Jake, Sofia and their two kids showed up. Realizing that the duo are the pals from Sweden that Yippy mentioned, the Jintons and the Edwards family introduce each other. Also, a surprised Nahwan Nafisah is delightful when Jake, Sofia and their kids showed up, including the Mane 10, the Amber Crew, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Nova and Photo Finish. When a concerned Flash Sentry asks Sunset that Twilight dies of a leukemia disease, she agrees his question which prompts Utah to take her place.

#### Epilogue: The Return to America, Alvin Works at the Sweet Snacks Café

The next morning, it's time to return home. When a concerned Tinubu realizes that Alvin is a poor person, he agrees his question. In addition, Nafisah adds that Alvin is about to get a job at the Sweet Snacks Café, much to his delight. Given the fact that Tinubu hasn't heard of the Sweet Snacks Café before, Perri adds that the Sweet Snacks Café is an American 1950s diner filled with tons of waitresses and workers. In addition, Rainbow Dash adds that Pinkie Pie is the waitress, so Alvin is willing to work there. Afterwards, the film ends with team Flash Drive (Flash Sentry, Brawly Beats, Ringo, James, Watermelody, Oona and Zandar), team Escalade (Nafisah, Alvin, Lightning Dust, Alberto, Perri, Penny and Prudence), Johan, Jonna, the Mane 10 (Applejack, Fluttershy, Greg, Hacky, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer and Utah), Potion Nova, Photo Finish and the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Vivian and Yippy) returning home together.

After the post credits taking place at Sweet Snacks Café, Nafisah introduces the diner's workers to Alvin since it's his first day working at the Sweet Snacks Café prior to leaving behind his poverty life. All of the waitresses (including Pinkie Pie) introduces to Alvin with bright smiles and Nafisah left the cafe afterwards by wishing him ***GOOD LUCK***. Nevertheless, all of the workers resume their job as usual while Alvin starts his job for the first time.
