00:00:00I got your text, Rainbow Dash. Did something come through the portal? Is Equestrian magic on the loose? Did Twilight come back with a problem that only we can solve?
00:00:22Have the giant cake monster covered all the cakes in the world in cake? Um, not exactly. Uh, I don't understand. Well, Sunset, I was just telling Rainbow Dash here that a broken guitar string doesn't really qualify as an emergency. It totally does. Really, Rainbow Dash, I was in the middle of sewing a very complex applique on my latest frock. And I was just about to tuck everyone in for the night at the shelter. Now we'll have to start stories all over again.
00:00:50Why would you send all of us an emergency text for a guitar string?
00:00:55Well, 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?
00:01:03Here. But everyone finished practicing for the day. I'm pretty sure all the music rooms are locked.
00:01:10No problem. The acoustics in the hallway are perfect for power chords.
00:01:16Come on, let's go!
00:01:17Do you come in, Sunset?
00:01:21I'll catch up in a bit.
00:01:22Dear Princess Twilight, how's life treating you in Equestria? Any cool new magic spells?
00:01:35It's been pretty quiet here at CHS since the Battle of the Bands.
00:01:39We still pony up when we play music, which Rainbow Dash just loves to show off.
00:01:43But I still can't quite grasp what it's all about.
00:01:46I would love to hear what you think about it when you get a sack.
00:01:49Your friend, Sensei Shimmer.
00:01:51Hey!
00:02:17What are you doing?
00:02:21Wait! Stop!
00:02:24Who was that?
00:02:32What the?
00:02:53How about you?
00:02:56OK, lie.
00:02:57Oh, my God.
00:03:27Oh, my God.
00:03:57Oh, my God.
00:03:59We've come this far and we're not going back.
00:04:03No way.
00:04:04Prepare yourself because we're on the attack.
00:04:07Attack.
00:04:08Won't have to find us.
00:04:09We'll be tracking you down.
00:04:11Right now.
00:04:12And when we're finished, we'll be taking the crown.
00:04:15All the way.
00:04:17All the way.
00:04:17All the way.
00:04:19To the Friendship Games.
00:04:20Na, na, na, na, na.
00:04:22Oh, na, na.
00:04:23Let's go all the way.
00:04:25All the way.
00:04:26All the way.
00:04:27To the Friendship Games.
00:04:29Na, na, na, na.
00:04:30Oh, na, na.
00:04:32Let's go.
00:04:34Hey.
00:04:36Oh.
00:04:38Hey.
00:04:39We studied hard and we're here to win.
00:04:45We're only telling you once.
00:04:50Our magic comes from the inside out.
00:04:53What you see is what you get.
00:04:55Don't you ever forget.
00:04:58All the way.
00:04:59All the way.
00:05:00All the way.
00:05:01To the Friendship Games.
00:05:03Na, na, na, na.
00:05:04Oh, na, na.
00:05:05Let's go all the way.
00:05:08All the way.
00:05:09To the Friendship Games.
00:05:11Na, na, na, na.
00:05:13Oh, na, na.
00:05:14Let's go.
00:05:15Na, na, na, na.
00:05:17Oh, na, na.
00:05:18Let's go.
00:05:19Na, na, na, na.
00:05:21Oh, na, na.
00:05:22Let's go.
00:05:24Na, na, na, na.
00:05:25Oh, na, na.
00:05:26Let's go.
00:05:30Let's go.
00:06:00Do you think she came through the portal from Equestria?
00:06:03No, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that. I think she was from over here.
00:06:07Well, that's a relief. The last thing we need is another magical so-and-so bent on world domination coming over from Equestria.
00:06:16Agreed. I have no interest in another fight against the powers of evil magic. The wear and tear on my wardrobe is just too much to keep up with.
00:06:24Still, a mysterious figure snooping around the portal? Don't you want to know what she was up to?
00:06:28I don't even want to guess.
00:06:31Well, you don't have to, because I've totally figured out who it was.
00:06:36Ooh, ooh! A nighttime statue cleaner? A magical portal maintenance maintainer? A gardener?
00:06:41Seeing as how they got off a bus from the city and got back on a bus headed to the city, I'll bet they'd go to...
00:06:50Crystal Prep!
00:06:50Yep. With the friendship game starting tomorrow, they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wonder Gold statue.
00:06:58Why would anyone take a bus all the way from the city for that?
00:07:02Because the Crystal Prep Shadow Bolts are our biggest rivals.
00:07:05Because that's just what the students at Crystal Prep would do.
00:07:08Because even though they beat us in everything, soccer, tennis, golf, they still have to gloat.
00:07:16Seems kind of silly to me.
00:07:18Silly?
00:07:20So, I guess you think the friendship games are silly too.
00:07:23Well, it's not like we'll be fighting the powers of evil magic.
00:07:26No, we'll be fighting against a school full of meanies. Not everything has to be magical to be important.
00:07:33You're right. I'm sorry. I know it's a big deal.
00:07:36Oh, that's putting it mildly, darling. They're still revamping the playing field in preparation.
00:07:41I just don't understand why there's this big rivalry.
00:07:44Aren't the friendship games supposed to be about our two schools getting along?
00:07:48Well, it's kind of hard to get along with someone who beats you at everything.
00:07:51Not anymore! This time, things are gonna be different.
00:07:55What do you mean?
00:07:57Oh, you'll find out.
00:07:58As I am sure you all know, tomorrow, Canterlot High School will be hosting our fellow students from Crystal Prep Academy
00:08:07as we join together in the spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, and fidelity to compete in the friendship games.
00:08:18Since the games only happen every four years, I'm sure you're all curious what goes on.
00:08:24You mean other than us losing?
00:08:26And that is exactly why I've asked Rainbow Dash to come up and give you all a little, um, context.
00:08:36Thank you, Principal Celestia.
00:08:38Ahem.
00:08:38I know a lot of you might think there's no way we can beat a fancy school like Crystal Prep at anything.
00:08:46Unless it's a losing to Crystal Prep competition, because we're really good at that.
00:08:51Ugh.
00:08:52And I know that CHS has never won the friendship games even once.
00:08:57Oh, dear. I hope this speech isn't meant to be motivational.
00:09:00Crystal Prep students are super-ethnic, super-smart, and super-motivated.
00:09:06But there's one thing they aren't.
00:09:08They aren't Wondercools.
00:09:10We fought magic more than once, and come out on top.
00:09:15Oh.
00:09:15There's other schools, but none can make those claims.
00:09:18Na-na-na-na-na-na.
00:09:20Together we are Canterlot.
00:09:23Come and cheer our name.
00:09:25Oh.
00:09:25This will be our year to win these games.
00:09:29We'll always be Wondercools forever.
00:09:32And now our time has finally arrived.
00:09:38Cause we believe in the magic of friendship.
00:09:43And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who survive.
00:09:59We're not the school we were before.
00:10:02Yeah, we're different now.
00:10:04And we overcame the obstacles we faced.
00:10:09Canterlot united.
00:10:11We'll never bow.
00:10:14So get ready to see us in first place.
00:10:18We'll always be Wondercools forever.
00:10:22One, two, one.
00:10:23And now our time has finally arrived.
00:10:27Our time is now.
00:10:28First we believe in the magic of friendship.
00:10:32And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who survive.
00:10:39At the end of the day, it is we who survive.
00:10:46Na-na-na-na-na-na.
00:10:48Wondercools united together.
00:10:51Na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
00:10:53Wondercools united forever.
00:10:55First we believe in the magic of friendship.
00:10:58Wonderful united.
00:11:00Now our time has finally arrived.
00:11:03Wonderful united forever.
00:11:05First we believe in the magic of friendship.
00:11:08Wonderful united.
00:11:10And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who survive.
00:11:15At the end of the day, it is we who survive.
00:11:21Rainbow Dash, that was amazing.
00:11:33Even I feel like we can win.
00:11:35I feel like my school pride is at an all-time high.
00:11:39Is anybody else wondering how Dash ponied up without playing her guitar?
00:11:43I know, right?
00:11:44It's probably because I'm so awesome.
00:11:46Maybe.
00:11:48I mean, you are awesome.
00:11:49But there's got to be more to it than that, right?
00:11:52It just seems so random.
00:11:54Well, it would be nice if you girls could get a handle on it.
00:11:57We'd like to keep magic as far away from the friendship games as possible.
00:12:00We don't want to be accused of cheating.
00:12:03We don't need magic to defeat those hoity-toity crystal preppers.
00:12:08Still, the friendship games are serious business.
00:12:13We don't want any surprises.
00:12:14Especially the kind that could cause us to forfeit.
00:12:17Sunset Shimmer, you came here from a world of magic.
00:12:21Perhaps you can get to the bottom of our magical development.
00:12:24I'll do my best.
00:12:27Okay, anybody have any guesses what the events are going to be?
00:12:31Pie eating?
00:12:32Cake eating?
00:12:33Cake eating!
00:12:34They won't even let us see what they're doing to the field.
00:12:37You'd think they'd at least tell competitors what they're competing in.
00:12:40It could be anything.
00:12:42Anything?
00:12:43How will I ever pick the right outfit?
00:12:45I really want to help, but I think I better go focus on figuring out why Rainbow Dash ponied up.
00:12:51See you later!
00:12:52Seems like she's got everything under control.
00:12:55Nothing to worry about.
00:12:56Ugh.
00:13:10Ugh.
00:13:14Uh...
00:13:14Hey, Twilight.
00:13:17Haven't heard back from you yet.
00:13:18I guess you must be pretty busy with your role as princess.
00:13:20But I could really use your advice right now.
00:13:24You see, I've been given the job of keeping magic under control here at CHS.
00:13:27Even though I still haven't quite wrapped my head around it.
00:13:30And now, after seeing Rainbow Dash Pony up the way she did,
00:13:33it makes me think our magic might be changing.
00:13:37Everyone is looking to me to figure things out, and I really don't want to let them down.
00:13:42But I'm not sure I have enough experience with friendship magic to solve this.
00:13:50Excuse me. Sorry.
00:14:13Pardon me.
00:14:20Spike! Spike!
00:14:33There you are.
00:14:36Okay, okay.
00:14:40Last night's field test confirmed it, Spike.
00:14:42With this device, I can track and contain the bizarre energy coming from Canterlot High.
00:14:46I know you didn't like me going over there, but I just couldn't wait.
00:14:51And soon, I'll have all the time I need.
00:14:54All of Crystal Prep is going to be there for the friendship games.
00:14:57I just hope all that rivalry nonsense doesn't get in the way of my research.
00:15:01If I can collect enough data on these EM frequencies,
00:15:03I should be able to extrapolate the waveforms to determine their origin.
00:15:07That would practically guarantee my entrance into the Everton Independent Study Program.
00:15:10Why, Light? You know the rules against pets.
00:15:20Well, Spike isn't a pet, Dean Cadence.
00:15:22He's the focus of my research project.
00:15:25Human-canine cohabitation. Effects and implications.
00:15:28If you say so.
00:15:30But Principal Cinch is highly allergic, so I suggest you put on a clean shirt.
00:15:34Why?
00:15:35Because she wants to see you.
00:15:36Ooh, maybe she has news about my application to Everton.
00:15:39I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
00:15:42Are you sure that's what you really want?
00:15:44Why wouldn't it be?
00:15:45A program that allows me to focus all my attention on my own advanced math and science projects?
00:15:50What a dream come true!
00:15:52But there aren't any classrooms with other students.
00:15:55You'll be doing everything on your own.
00:15:57That is why it's called an independent study program.
00:16:00I just don't want you to miss out on anything, that's all.
00:16:03Being around other people isn't a bad thing.
00:16:06Sometimes it's how you learn the most about yourself.
00:16:08I guess.
00:16:10Meet you in Principal Cinch's office in a few minutes?
00:16:14What's she so worried about?
00:16:16Everton is exactly what I need right now.
00:16:19It's not like I have anything left to learn at Crystal Prep.
00:16:22I've walked through all these halls before
00:16:35I've been in and out of every door
00:16:42There's nothing in this school that I don't know
00:16:49In every class my grade's the best
00:16:54The highest score on every test
00:16:58I think that means it's time for me to go
00:17:03I know
00:17:03I know there's more that's out there
00:17:08And I just haven't found it yet
00:17:11I know there's more that's out there
00:17:15Another me I haven't met
00:17:18This school is full of people
00:17:24But still I don't belong
00:17:26They only dream of winning
00:17:31Look at me like something's wrong
00:17:34Maybe I'm better off alone
00:17:40Will I find what I'm looking for
00:17:44If I just do it on my own
00:17:47I know there's more that's out there
00:17:51Something to fill this hole inside
00:17:54I know there's more that's out there
00:17:58And I'm not afraid to try
00:18:01There's only so much this school can offer
00:18:04And I'm not saying that it's wrong
00:18:08But I know there's more that's out there
00:18:11Cause I've been searching all along
00:18:15Beyond these rooms
00:18:19Beyond these walls
00:18:22So much to learn
00:18:26I can't see it all
00:18:29There's something out there
00:18:34Calling me
00:18:35And it's a mystery
00:18:40That I can't wait to see
00:18:43Cause I know there's more that's out there
00:18:47Another place, another way
00:18:50And I know there's more that's out there
00:18:54And I'll find out someday
00:18:57I'll find out someday
00:19:04Shining armor? Why is my brother here?
00:19:26As an alumni, Principal Cinch thought he could provide some unique perspective
00:19:31Perspective on what?
00:19:33Why the friendship games, of course
00:19:35You competed in the games, did you not?
00:19:38Shining armor?
00:19:40I did
00:19:41And do you happen to recall who won?
00:19:44Crystal Prep did
00:19:46We always win
00:19:47We always win
00:19:48We always win
00:19:49Why did you ask to see me?
00:19:52Twyla
00:19:53I'll be honest
00:19:54It doesn't matter whether or not Crystal Prep wins or loses
00:19:57The important thing is that we are expected to win
00:20:02Because Crystal Prep has a reputation
00:20:05And it is that reputation
00:20:08My reputation
00:20:09That is responsible for everything we have here
00:20:13For everything you've done here
00:20:15And you've done quite a lot, haven't you?
00:20:19I don't know
00:20:19I guess
00:20:20Oh, don't be modest
00:20:22You're the best student this school has ever seen
00:20:25What I can't understand is why my best student wouldn't want to compete
00:20:30In the friendship games?
00:20:32Look, Twyla
00:20:33I know it's not really your thing
00:20:35But representing the school is kind of a big deal
00:20:38Plus, they could really use your help
00:20:40It seems Cantalot High is undergoing something of a renaissance
00:20:44Test scores are up
00:20:45Grades
00:20:46Even athletics are on the rise
00:20:48You see
00:20:49They are developing somewhat of a reputation
00:20:53This cannot happen
00:20:56Principal Cinch
00:20:58I can't possibly participate in the games
00:21:00My work here is very
00:21:01Ah, yes
00:21:02Your work
00:21:03Cadence
00:21:05Could you and Shining Armor find my contact sheet
00:21:08For the Everton Independent Study Program?
00:21:10Of course
00:21:11I understand you've applied
00:21:16You see
00:21:17One of the advantages of having a reputation
00:21:20Is a certain amount of influence
00:21:22In such things
00:21:24So
00:21:25Let me offer you a deal
00:21:28In return for contributing your agile mind to these games
00:21:33I will use my influence to guarantee your application is approved
00:21:39Though I suppose I could also have it denied
00:21:44What do you think I should do?
00:21:48Come on Spike
00:22:03I was always gonna go to Cantalot High for the friendship games
00:22:06The only difference now is that I have to compete
00:22:09Besides, it's not like Principal Cinch gave me much of a choice
00:22:13I know Spike
00:22:16I don't like it either
00:22:17I probably won't be able to collect anywhere near as much data as I thought
00:22:21But maybe I can still get some
00:22:27Spike, I wouldn't leave without you
00:22:31Just remember to be quiet
00:22:33And try not to shed
00:22:34Dean Cadence
00:22:44I'm not really sure where to go
00:22:46One second Twilight
00:22:47You could try the end of the line
00:22:50What did you say?
00:22:53Just that someone as smart as you should definitely go first
00:22:58I... I didn't mean to
00:23:00I was just asking
00:23:01This is the right boss, Twilight
00:23:03Go ahead
00:23:04But I didn't mean to cut in front
00:23:06Well, it's too late now
00:23:08Are we gonna win?
00:23:13I... I don't know
00:23:15Wrong answer! Try again!
00:23:17Are we gonna win?
00:23:19Um... I guess?
00:23:21It's just... I mean
00:23:23I heard that CHS is doing well now
00:23:25With their reputation
00:23:26And I mean
00:23:27It's not better than ours, of course
00:23:29But we can't let them do it, you know?
00:23:31Win? I mean, right?
00:23:33I mean, right?
00:23:35You're gonna have to take a seat
00:23:39Hi, Sugarcoat!
00:23:48That was a really bad speech
00:23:50You should consider not speaking in public
00:23:55Well, Spike
00:23:56At least I've got you with me
00:24:01Dude! You have gotta hear this!
00:24:04Ugh!
00:24:15I hope the friendship games have a music competition
00:24:18Because we would totally rock it!
00:24:20Um...
00:24:21We're supposed to keep magic out of the friendship games, remember?
00:24:26Easier said than done, darling
00:24:28I'm sure in Equestria, magic does whatever you want
00:24:30But...
00:24:31This isn't Equestria
00:24:33Well, when it comes to magic, I'm sure you'll figure it out
00:24:36And while Sunset works on keeping the magic out of the games
00:24:40I've been working on what to put in
00:24:43Rarity, what did you go and do?
00:24:46Well, I had a little time on my hands
00:24:48And since we don't know what the friendship games events are
00:24:52I've made a few options for uniforms
00:24:55You really didn't have to do that
00:24:57I know
00:24:58No, you really didn't have to
00:25:01I know!
00:25:06Vice Principal Luna can help your students get settled if you'd like me to show you around, Principal Cinch
00:25:10There have been quite a few changes since your last visit
00:25:13Oh, yes, Principal Celestia
00:25:16I'm sure that would be fascinating
00:25:20Oh, it's always such a pleasure to see you, Dean Cadence
00:25:23Even if it means another defeat
00:25:26Thank you, Vice Principal Luna
00:25:28But I hear it's not going to be so easy this time
00:25:36Coming through!
00:25:40Seriously?
00:25:41Oh, sorry
00:25:42I didn't mean to
00:25:47Oh, sorry
00:25:48Why don't you go ahead?
00:25:50You are such a sweetie
00:25:53I am watching you
00:25:58You are kind of being a doormat right now
00:26:19Hi, Twilight
00:26:24Hey, Twilight
00:26:29Hi, Twilight
00:26:30Hi, Twilight
00:26:31Hey you, looking good
00:26:32Um...
00:26:33Hi!
00:26:34Hey, what's happening?
00:26:35Really nice to see you
00:26:36Twilight, how you doing?
00:26:38Twilight, yo!
00:26:39Hi!
00:26:40Hello!
00:26:41Uh, good
00:26:44Twilight?
00:26:45I almost didn't recognize you
00:26:49When did you start wearing glasses?
00:26:51Um, like, since forever
00:26:54Oh, so, how long are you here for?
00:26:56Just for the friendship games
00:26:57Right, of course
00:26:59We'll totally win with you here
00:27:07Uh... I gotta go
00:27:08Uh, okay
00:27:09Bye
00:27:16Uh, Rarity, these outfits are great
00:27:18But why would you put so much time and effort into clothes we might not even wear?
00:27:22You're gonna exhaust yourself before the games even start
00:27:25Oh!
00:27:27Don't be silly, darling
00:27:29Putting effort into clothes is what I live for
00:27:31And spending time on my friends fills me with energy!
00:27:34Energy!
00:27:41Cool!
00:27:43And magic too, I guess
00:27:45Actually, Applejack, now that you mention it, I suppose I could use a tiny break
00:27:58Actually, Applejack, now that you mention it, I suppose I could use a tiny break.
00:28:10I told you.
00:28:14Twilight?
00:28:16Uh, yes?
00:28:17Well, I'll be. You should have told us you were coming.
00:28:21Darling, those glasses.
00:28:24What are you wearing? It's so severe.
00:28:27My uniform?
00:28:29You're uniform for what?
00:28:31For Crystal Prep.
00:28:33But why does everyone at this school know who I am?
00:28:36Did you just say Crystal Prep?
00:28:40Spike!
00:28:41You know my dog's name, too?
00:28:45And our music program has especially taken off.
00:28:49Twilight?
00:28:50This is getting ridiculous.
00:28:52I must apologize for the curiosity of my prize student.
00:28:56Your student?
00:28:57The smart ones are always curious.
00:29:00I'll return her to check in with the rest of her classmates.
00:29:05I didn't know Twilight had a twin sister.
00:29:08She doesn't!
00:29:09That Twilight is obviously the Twilight from this world, since it couldn't possibly be the Twilight from the Pony World, since the Twilight from the Pony World doesn't go to Crystal Prep over classes.
00:29:16I'm sorry, Principal Cinch. I was just following these strange readings. Actually, they led me to those girls, and I...
00:29:27Twilight, what you do in your free time is of little interest to me. But while you're here, I... all of Crystal Prep, in fact, require your complete focus.
00:29:36But why does everyone at this school seem to know me?
00:29:42Perhaps they're trying to confuse you. Perhaps they're trying to lure you away.
00:29:46It didn't feel like anyone was trying to lure me.
00:29:49I don't know what they're playing at, but I guarantee it isn't to help us win.
00:29:53I can't believe our world's Twilight goes to Crystal Prep.
00:30:00You're saying that Twilight's gonna play against us? She'd never do that.
00:30:05Our Twilight wouldn't.
00:30:07Our Twilight is a princess in Equestria and an expert in friendship magic.
00:30:11And if she was here, we'd have already figured out why magic is randomly popping up during pep rallies and costume changes.
00:30:17Oh, sorry. I'm just frustrated that I haven't heard back from her.
00:30:26She's a princess in Equestria. Probably got problems of her own to deal with.
00:30:30We certainly can't expect her to drop everything and pop through the portal whenever.
00:30:34Especially if it's to deal with something as minor as a few random pony-ups.
00:30:39But they aren't minor. Magic came into this world when I stole Twilight's crown.
00:30:44It's taken a lot for me to earn everyone's trust.
00:30:47If we have to forfeit the game, it's because I can't think of a way to keep it under control.
00:30:52Oh, Sunset. I'm sure you'll be able to figure things out.
00:30:55You're the one who helped us understand what was going on with the sirens. Remember?
00:30:59I guess. But Twilight was the one who really figured out what we needed to defeat them.
00:31:04Don't you remember, darling?
00:31:06What we needed to defeat them was you.
00:31:10All right.
00:31:11All right. Come on, guys. Let's see if we can find any info about the events and come up with a strategy.
00:31:18You coming, Sunset?
00:31:20I'll catch up with you guys in a bit.
00:31:22Still no reply.
00:31:44Maybe there's another way I could reach her.
00:31:46Hey! Let's go!
00:31:57What did you do?
00:31:59Twilight, you have to check in with the others.
00:32:07Where's the portal?
00:32:08Where's the portal?
00:32:11What do you mean the portal's gone?
00:32:28I mean, it's gone. It's closed. It's not there anymore.
00:32:33How'd that happen?
00:32:35I don't know, but it has something to do with that, Twilight.
00:32:41What in tarnation is she up to?
00:32:44Huh?
00:32:46Leave this to me.
00:32:50Twilight, what have you been up to?
00:32:53Me? Oh, I was just in the wants to know.
00:32:56Um, we do?
00:32:58All right, everyone. Let's not get too competitive before the games even start.
00:33:02The games aren't really competitive since we've never lost.
00:33:05That's not a very nice thing to say.
00:33:07Sorry, dearie, but these games aren't about being nice.
00:33:11Well, you might use a little tact.
00:33:15Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie.
00:33:17Oh, hi. I'm Twilight.
00:33:20I know. You look just like my friend. Her name is Twilight, too.
00:33:24That's... weird.
00:33:26What's that?
00:33:27It's sort of a spectrometer.
00:33:29I built it to track EM frequencies, but it can also contain anomalies.
00:33:35It measures things.
00:33:36Like the party?
00:33:37Yeah, though it doesn't look like much of a party to me.
00:33:41I know. Something is definitely missing.
00:33:45Come on!
00:33:46Hello, everyone.
00:33:48I'd like to take this opportunity to greet all of our visitors from Crystal Prep Academy
00:33:53and welcome them to CHS.
00:33:56What in the world is in these?
00:33:59Party cannons, of course!
00:34:01And lastly, I would like to recognize the 12 students that CHS has elected to compete.
00:34:07I don't think we could have chosen a better group to represent the excellence,
00:34:11sportsmanship, and friendship the games stand for.
00:34:15Um, are you sure this is a good idea?
00:34:35Absolutely!
00:34:35Absolutely!
00:34:36I don't know if we just need to play with one!
00:34:37Oh, I don't know if we just need to do that!
00:34:39Wow!
00:34:41Oh, what's going on!
00:34:56Oh, what's going on!
00:35:02Mom...
00:35:04Mom!
00:35:04Mom!
00:35:04Mom!
00:35:05I am party pooped.
00:35:35I'd like to thank Principal Celestia for her unconventional welcome.
00:35:39It's been four years since the last Friendship Games, but it feels as though nothing has changed.
00:35:44Canterlot High continues to pick its competitors in a popularity contest,
00:35:49and Crystal Prep continues to field its top 12 students.
00:35:54It is a comfort to know that even after so many years of losses,
00:35:59your school remains committed to its ideals, however misguided they may be.
00:36:06I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome.
00:36:15Aww.
00:36:16I'm sorry, Pinky. I thought your party additions were really swell.
00:36:20They definitely broke the ice.
00:36:22Yes, if only that Principal Cinch hadn't frozen it again.
00:36:26Yeah, she's awful.
00:36:28Wow, Pinky, what happened to you?
00:36:30I don't know. Everyone started having fun after Twilight and I fired the party cannons, and I ponied up.
00:36:35Of course you did.
00:36:37But then the magic just drained right out of me.
00:36:40Wait, what do you mean, drained out of you?
00:36:43Hey, where is that other Twilight?
00:36:46Oh, she's right...
00:36:48Uh, well, she was right here.
00:36:51Good morning, students.
00:36:58I'm sure you're all thrilled to start the first day of the Friendship Games.
00:37:03Our competitors will face off in every aspect of the CHS curriculum,
00:37:07culminating in the elimination equations finale.
00:37:10Welcome to the first event, the Academic Decathlon.
00:37:14You'll be scored on Chemistry, Home Ec, and everything in between.
00:37:18But remember, only the six students from each team with the most points will move on to event number two.
00:37:24Good luck!
00:37:26We're gonna take you down,
00:37:36We're gonna take you down,
00:37:46We're not about to let you in, so get out of our way
00:37:48Think you've got us beat, but we're here to stay
00:37:51United strong, that we'll take you down
00:37:53You're not so tough, now you're in our town
00:37:56All of the times we lost before
00:37:58Not about to give up, we're only bringing in more
00:38:01We can smell your fear, we can see your sweat
00:38:03Hope you didn't spend money, cause you're losing this bet
00:38:06You've got nothing on us, na-na-na-na-na-na
00:38:09Let's go, wonderful
00:38:11You've got nothing on us, na-na-na-na-na-na
00:38:15Let's go, wonderful
00:38:16Talk a little too much, for a school that never wins
00:38:20Maybe you should just stop, or you leave and begin
00:38:22We are Crystal Prep High, and we have a reputation
00:38:25Every little moment is about our education
00:38:28Put your ear to the ground, listen to that sound
00:38:31You're a house of cars, and it's about to fall down
00:38:33Fall down
00:38:34I'm about to fall down
00:38:35It's the ground, you've got nothing on us, na-na-na-na-na-na
00:38:40Let's go, Shadow Ball
00:38:42You've got nothing on us, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
00:38:45Let's go, Shadow Ball
00:38:47Pressure's on, now we're gonna beat you
00:38:50Step aside, it's time that we defeat you
00:38:53Just so prep yourself, cause you're about to go down
00:38:56Down, down, down, down
00:38:57Pressure's on, you know we're gonna take you
00:39:00Just give up before we have to break you
00:39:02Hands are not a lot, you're about to go down
00:39:05Down, down, down
00:39:07Take it up, to the top
00:39:10Cause we know we can win
00:39:12Maybe you should just stop
00:39:14Cause we've seen you give in
00:39:17We believe in ourselves
00:39:19And we've got what it takes
00:39:22And we're not gonna stop
00:39:24I can't wait till this is all over
00:39:30There's so much more that's going on
00:39:34And before these games are over
00:39:39I'll find out just when she's done
00:39:42Can she do it?
00:39:46Will she make it?
00:39:48Who will win it?
00:39:50Who will take it?
00:39:52Can she do it?
00:39:54Who will take it?
00:39:55Did she win it?
00:39:57Did she make it?
00:39:59Who's the winner?
00:40:00Who's the reject?
00:40:02How did she answer?
00:40:05Incorrect
00:40:06That means the winner of the Friendship Games' first event is
00:40:14Twilight Sparkle and Crystal Prep
00:40:17That was awesome!
00:40:23Truly amazing!
00:40:24But we didn't win
00:40:25That was as close to winning as Canterlot's ever been
00:40:28After a careful tally of the points
00:40:31We'd like to present the students
00:40:33Moving on to the Friendship Games' second event
00:40:35Congratulations!
00:40:47You were really great!
00:40:49I'm sorry
00:40:49Excuse me
00:40:50Okay then
00:40:52Do you want to give her a treat?
00:41:09I guess I'm not the only one to smuggle her pet into school
00:41:16Not just one
00:41:18Oh, wow
00:41:21All I have is Spike
00:41:23It really is uncanny
00:41:26Does he talk?
00:41:28Um, not that I know of
00:41:30Congratulations on winning by the way
00:41:33Though it didn't seem like anyone on your team was very excited about it
00:41:37No one at my school gets excited about anything they didn't do themselves
00:41:41That sounds awful
00:41:43Here, hold this
00:41:50Um, why?
00:41:54Holding a bunny always makes me feel better
00:41:56Well, that's ridiculous
00:41:58But, oh, it actually kind of works
00:42:03I'm on the other team and you just lost
00:42:06Why are you being so nice to me?
00:42:09You look like you needed it
00:42:10Spike!
00:42:30Spike!
00:42:35Spike!
00:42:39Spike!
00:42:40Are you okay?
00:42:41Um, I think so
00:42:47Twilight!
00:42:48Wait!
00:42:49I...
00:42:54Twilight!
00:42:55Come on!
00:42:56Wait for me!
00:42:59Why did you run away like that?
00:43:02Um, oh, I don't know
00:43:04Maybe it has something to do with the glowing girl
00:43:06Or the hole in space
00:43:07Or my talking dog
00:43:08Or the hole in space
00:43:09Or my talking dog
00:43:10Yeah, weird, right?
00:43:12Are you okay?
00:43:13How do you feel?
00:43:14What happened?
00:43:15Where did you go?
00:43:16Where did you go?
00:43:17Hey, one question at a time
00:43:18This is pretty new to me too
00:43:20Sorry
00:43:21All I know is I chased that pointy rabbit through the glowy thing and then it was somewhere else
00:43:26Next thing I knew
00:43:27Next thing I knew I was back in that nice girl's arms and I could talk
00:43:30I don't really understand why I couldn't before
00:43:32I mean, it's so easy
00:43:34Twilight
00:43:35Twilight
00:43:38Quick, hide in here
00:43:40Who are you talking to?
00:43:41Um, myself
00:43:43It's a nervous habit
00:43:44Were you looking for me?
00:43:46Indeed I was
00:43:47Quite a coincidence that the CHS students moving on to the next event are the same nice girls who were so interested in you, don't you think?
00:43:56I'm not sure
00:43:57Perhaps you should get to know them after all
00:44:00But I thought you didn't want me to
00:44:02Let's just say I'm covering my bases
00:44:05Who knows
00:44:06Perhaps they will reveal to you the secret to Cantalot High's new found success
00:44:10I don't know
00:44:12Spying feels kind of wrong
00:44:16Well, it's your decision Twilight
00:44:18It's not as if your application hangs in the balance
00:44:22On second thought
00:44:23Yes it does
00:44:27Man, she's awful
00:44:29What are you gonna do?
00:44:30I don't know Spike
00:44:33I don't know
00:44:38All I did was hand Twilight a bunny
00:44:40Then I ponied up
00:44:42I just don't get it
00:44:43Rarity's magic came out when she made us outfits
00:44:46Pinky's when she fixed the party
00:44:48And now Fluttershy
00:44:49And then Twilight's pendant thingy just pulled the magic right out of me
00:44:53I couldn't even stand up
00:44:55Like me at the party
00:44:56Like me at the party
00:44:57Or me right before we met Twilight
00:44:59So she's stealing magic?
00:45:01I don't know
00:45:02She doesn't seem like the magic stealing type
00:45:04Yeah, but she had something to do with closing the portal
00:45:07If her pendant can pull in magic
00:45:10Maybe it stole the portal too
00:45:12How?
00:45:13I don't know
00:45:14And the pony or person or princess who could help me figure this out is completely unreachable now
00:45:20Which is too bad because Twilight knows everything about magic
00:45:23And portals
00:45:24And magical portals
00:45:25And portable magics
00:45:28For now let's just focus on beating the shadow bolts
00:45:31And as long as this event puts me in a playing field
00:45:34I don't think we've got anything to worry about
00:45:37Oh, it puts you on a playing field all right
00:45:49Am I the only one who thinks this is overkill?
00:45:52I don't suppose you made motocross outfits
00:45:55Oh, don't be ridiculous
00:45:57Of course I did
00:46:00You will race in pairs
00:46:02Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat will handle the motocross
00:46:04Yes
00:46:05Lemon Zest and Sunny Flair have requested the short track
00:46:08Since archery is a standard requirement at our school
00:46:11Any of you should be able to do it
00:46:13Twilight and Sour Sweet will start us off
00:46:15Well, that's just marvelous
00:46:17If you want to lose before we even start
00:46:20Given that Twilight won the last event single-handedly
00:46:23I have every confidence that she will be able to pull her weight here
00:46:27Won't you?
00:46:35Welcome everyone to the Friendship Games Tri-Cross Relay
00:46:47In this event our qualifying competitors will face off in archery
00:46:52Speed skating
00:46:54And finally motocross
00:46:56So, if the competitors are ready
00:47:04Each competitor must hit a bullseye
00:47:06Before their teammates can start the next leg of the relay
00:47:09Yay!
00:47:11Woo!
00:47:12Woo!
00:47:13Yay!
00:47:14Woo!
00:47:15We're going to have to get to that
00:47:28Yay!
00:47:30Woo!
00:47:31Woo!
00:47:32Yeah!
00:47:33Woo!
00:47:34Woo, woo!
00:47:35Woo!
00:47:36Yeah!
00:47:37Woo!
00:47:38Woo!
00:47:39Woo!
00:47:40Woo!
00:48:02Yeah!
00:48:05And Canterlot is off to an early lead!
00:48:17Wow, that's just fantastic!
00:48:21I'm sure glad I don't go to Crystal Prep.
00:48:24You said it.
00:48:29If CPA can't hit another bullseye soon, they'll be out of this race!
00:48:35You're really bad at this!
00:48:39I can't take anymore!
00:48:42You have to stop aiming at the target.
00:48:44Oh, that makes perfect sense!
00:48:46Don't aim at the target!
00:48:47Thanks so much!
00:48:48You have to stop aiming at where the target is, and aim at where the target's gonna be!
00:48:54Yeah!
00:48:55Definitely take advice from the person you're competing against!
00:48:59Do you want to hit the bullseye or not?
00:49:03Then trust me.
00:49:05Take a deep breath, and let the arrow go.
00:49:10Right...
00:49:11Right...
00:49:14Now!
00:49:20Yeah!
00:49:23Yeah! That's my girl!
00:49:24See?
00:49:25I was telling you the truth!
00:49:29See?
00:49:30I was telling you the truth!
00:49:31See?
00:49:32I was telling you the truth!
00:49:42What are you doing?
00:49:45I don't know!
00:49:46I-I don't know!
00:50:03Cancelot only has two laps to go, but it looks like Crystal Prep is making up for a long time!
00:50:08Come on!
00:50:31Come on!
00:50:32Come on!

00:50:50Ah!
00:50:51Ah!
00:50:52Ah!
00:50:53Ah!
00:50:54Ah!
00:50:55Ah!
00:50:56Ah!
00:50:57Ah!
00:50:58Ah!
00:51:00Ah!
00:51:01Oh, my God.
00:51:31Dash, you saved me.
00:51:36I wasn't about to let my friend become plant food.
00:51:48We can still win this!
00:52:01Canterlot wins!
00:52:22Attention students, please proceed to the gym.
00:52:31is everybody all right better than all right we won yeah we won but somebody could have been
00:52:50seriously hurt the magic is going haywire and i have no idea how to fix it um excuse me i didn't
00:52:58mean for any of this to happen i just wanted to learn about the strange energy coming from your
00:53:02school i didn't know that it was magic or how it works that's okay neither do we oh no no no not
00:53:10again i'm sorry it just started absorbing energy on its own but i'm not sure how what do you mean
00:53:21you don't know how it also causes these corresponding rifts to appear i don't know how that works either
00:53:33is there anything you do know like how to get our magic back or how to fix the portal to equestria
00:53:39equestria you're supposed to be so smart but did you ever think that you shouldn't be messing around
00:53:45with things you don't understand but i want to understand but you don't and worst of all you
00:53:52put the lives of my friends in danger i'm sorry i didn't mean to
00:53:58twice wait
00:54:01you can't possibly call that a fair race principal cinch we all saw what happened
00:54:14you can't think chs had some kind of advantage can't i even without your trained attack plans
00:54:21your students have wings well the race certainly had some extenuating circumstances
00:54:28perhaps we should end the games now and declare a tie a tie was this your strategy all along to force
00:54:35us into accepting you as equals i think not the games will continue and crystal prep will prevail
00:54:41despite your antics and whatever performance enhancing regimen your students are on
00:54:45i'm sorry i couldn't stop all this from happening it's not your fault sunset
00:54:52isn't it i should know how to control the magic i brought here
00:54:56but i don't i let everyone down and now principal cinch thinks we're cheating
00:55:01it doesn't matter what principal cinch thinks
00:55:04but it does the students here at chs don't just want to win they want to beat crystal prep
00:55:10it isn't gonna count if the other side doesn't really think they lost crystal prep is never
00:55:15gonna believe we won fair and square if there's magic around and that magic is only around because
00:55:20i don't feel like playing these games anymore
00:55:35but we have to play this is the last event
00:55:38this is the last event
00:55:40it's a little hard to focus with all the magic stealing and portal opening
00:55:55and i feel awful about what i said to twilight especially since she obviously didn't mean to
00:56:00do all the stuff she did she's actually really nice
00:56:03let's just get through this last event and prove we're not a bunch of cheaters
00:56:12then you can go over and apologize i know i'm asking you to beat a team that isn't playing fair
00:56:19but cantaloupe high must be made to understand that even with magic at their disposal beating crystal
00:56:24prep is simply not an option what if they grow wings again a fair question though i believe we can now
00:56:30fight fire with fire i've seen what your device can do twilight containing magical energy is fine
00:56:38but have you considered releasing it but i don't even understand how it works but you'd like to
00:56:45and since our opponents have already used it to stay competitive i see no reason why we shouldn't
00:56:49do the same unless of course you have no interest in everton though honestly i think there's more
00:56:56knowledge packed in that little device than any independent study program could offer i realize
00:57:03that you've always been an outcast it's not everyone at school who likes to think to find a student
00:57:11that's like you i've had one or maybe two but the good ones disappear before i think
00:57:17you know i understand you have your reservations it's hard to have a brain as large as yours
00:57:29but if we don't win these games well i think i've made it plain what will happen if we have the losing
00:57:35score
00:57:46they all have used it maybe abused it so then why can't we do the same
00:57:53call it power call it magic if we lose it will be tragic more important is the knowledge we'll have lost
00:58:05a chance like this won't come again you'll regret not giving in is an understanding magic work
00:58:11the cost
00:58:15and since it's win-win on all scores
00:58:41You only want to learn about the magic that you have stored.
00:58:49And as for me and all the others, we only want what we deserve.
00:58:57That our school will clinch the win and my legacy will endure.
00:59:04Unleash the magic, unleash the magic.
00:59:07If we lose then it's a crime.
00:59:11But we can win it if you begin it.
00:59:15It's up to you to not fail this time.
00:59:18Unleash the magic, free the magic now.
00:59:22Unleash the magic, free the magic now.
00:59:26Imagine all I'll learn by setting it free.
00:59:30Unleash the magic, free the magic now.
00:59:34And now winning these games depends on me.
00:59:38Unleash the magic, free the magic now.
00:59:42And what doors might open if I try to use it.
00:59:46The last events of the friendship games begin.
00:59:50But the magic's what I really want to see.
00:59:54Unleash the magic, free the magic.
00:59:57Unleash the magic, free the magic now.
01:00:02Unleash the magic.
01:00:04Unleash the magic.
01:00:05Unleash the magic.
01:00:06Unleash the magic.
01:00:07Unleash the magic.
01:00:08Unleash the magic.
01:00:09Unleash the magic.
01:00:10Unleash the magic.
01:00:11Unleash the magic.
01:00:12Unleash the magic.
01:00:13Unleash the magic.
01:00:14Unleash the magic.
01:00:15Unleash the magic.
01:00:16Unleash the magic.
01:00:17Unleash the magic.
01:00:18Unleash the magic.
01:00:19Unleash the magic.
01:00:20Unleash the magic.
01:00:21Unleash the magic.
01:00:22Unleash the magic.
01:00:23Unleash the magic.
01:00:24Unleash the magic.
01:00:25Unleash the magic.
01:00:26Unleash the magic.
01:00:27Unleash the magic.
01:00:28Unleash the magic.
01:00:29Unleash the magic.
01:00:30You were right.
01:00:58I didn't understand magic before, but I do now!
01:01:09Equestria!
01:01:28Hey, where are you going?
01:01:35Anywhere to avoid that monster!
01:01:38And I suggest you do the same.
01:01:41Twilight, you can't do this!
01:01:47Why not?
01:01:48There's a whole other world right there, and it's just filled with magic!
01:01:54But you're destroying this world to get it!
01:01:57So what?
01:01:58There's more magic there.
01:02:00And I want to understand it all!
01:02:13Don't let go!
01:02:22Hang on!
01:02:23Hang on!
01:02:24I'll be a slave!
01:02:28We've got you!
01:02:30We'll be like this first question.
01:02:38Take this on the lesson to everything you want!
01:02:41Seriously?
01:02:42You can save your journey now!
01:02:43You have to build and that mayblood!
01:02:44Take this in your journey.
01:02:45It's Harmony!
01:02:46I've arrived in a lifetime.
01:02:48You have to live for no остан!
01:02:49It's W flour!
01:02:50Wait, peace!
01:02:51This isn't the way! I know you feel powerful right now, 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 crown and just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic it contains. I thought it could get me everything I wanted.
01:03:09Oh, you're wrong. Unlike you, I can't have everything I want! No, you can't. Even with all that magic and power, you'll still be alone. True magic comes from honesty, loyalty, laughter, generosity, kindness.
01:03:30I understand you, Twilight. And I want to show you the most important magic of all!
01:03:52The magic of friendship.
01:04:00Twilight.
01:04:22Twilight!
01:04:27Spike.
01:04:28Take my hand, Twilight. Let me show you there's another way. Just like someone once did for me.
01:04:58I am so sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
01:05:18I know. And going by my own experiences, they'll forgive you.
01:05:28Principal Celestia, on behalf of Crystal Prep, I demand that you forfeit the Friendship Games.
01:05:41Clearly, CHS has had unfair advantage for quite some time, and it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit.
01:05:51I'd like to think that saving the world benefits us all.
01:05:54At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic and turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game.
01:06:04Wow. That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once.
01:06:08That's ridiculous.
01:06:10Nope. That's pretty much what happened.
01:06:14Actually, we're all to blame.
01:06:17Mostly it was her.
01:06:18Obviously, my students have been infected with your magic, but I plan on taking all of this up with the school board.
01:06:28Good. I'm sure they would be very interested in hearing all about the magical students with wings.
01:06:34Oh, and the portal's two different dimensions.
01:06:36And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog.
01:06:40Because that would never ruin your reputation.
01:06:43Well, I know these friendship games haven't been what any of us expected.
01:07:02But given what we've all just been through, I think it's fair to declare us all winners.
01:07:08Yeah!
01:07:08Yeah!
01:07:09Yeah!
01:07:09Yeah!
01:07:09Yeah!
01:07:09Yeah!
01:07:09Yeah!
01:07:09Yeah!
01:07:10Yeah!
01:07:13I guess that was one way to finish up your time at Crystal Prep.
01:07:22Pretty sure Cinch will be fast-tracking your application after all of that.
01:07:26I've been thinking about it, and I'm not so sure now is the time for me to apply to Everton.
01:07:31Really?
01:07:32I may know about a lot of things, but friendship isn't really one of them.
01:07:36And I'm definitely not going to learn more about it by being alone all the time.
01:07:40So you're staying at Crystal Prep?
01:07:43Well, it seems the students here at CHS know an awful lot about the subject.
01:07:48I don't suppose...
01:07:51You could transfer to this school instead.
01:07:53Really?
01:07:55You'd certainly be missed at Crystal Prep, but I think that's a great idea.
01:08:00I'll be sure to speak to Principal Celestia about it right away.
01:08:03Still no word from Princess Twilight?
01:08:12Not yet.
01:08:13But I think I may have figured out how magic works in this world.
01:08:17We pony up when we're showing the truest part of ourselves.
01:08:20I was so busy waiting for someone else to give me the answers, that I gave up looking for them myself.
01:08:26I'm sure there will be more magical problems that pop up in this world.
01:08:30But like Applejack said, Princess Twilight has her own problems to worry about in Equestria.
01:08:35We can't expect her to always be around to help us.
01:08:37But maybe I can be?
01:08:40It seems we have a new wonder cult here at Canterlot High.
01:08:44I'm not sure how much help I could be, but I'd like to try, if you would all give me a chance.
01:08:52I'm sure I can count on you girls to help her feel at home.
01:08:56You sure can.
01:08:57I'm so sorry I didn't get her sooner.
01:09:23I didn't get your messages until just now because I was caught in this time travel loop.
01:09:26And honestly, it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me.
01:09:37Make that the second strangest.
01:09:53I spent so much time searching, looking for something more.
01:10:01Digging holes too deep and opening every door.
01:10:07And when you stand too close yet, the picture's never clear.
01:10:14And when you look too far away, it all but disappears.
01:10:18And it was right, right there, in front of me.
01:10:27Just too close for me to see.
01:10:33Sometimes the things you want are not the things you need.
01:10:39And it was right there, in front of me.
01:10:44There was a time before, I didn't know where I belonged.
01:10:53I thought I needed more, and that I couldn't get along.
01:10:59But who I am, was all I ever needed.
01:11:05And when I faced that test, I finally succeeded.
01:11:11And it was right, right there, in front of me.
01:11:17Oh, oh, just too close for me to see.
01:11:23Oh, oh, sometimes the things you want are not the things you need.
01:11:31And it was right, right there, in front of me.
01:11:36Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:11:40And it's all I ever needed.
01:11:42Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:11:46And it was right there, in front of me.
01:11:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:11:53And it's all I ever needed.
01:11:56Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:12:00And it was right there, in front of me.
01:12:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:12:07And it was right there, in front of me.
