Introduction

Text on screen: When watching TV, be sure to do so in a lit room not too close to the TV.
Twilight: Here in the magical land of Equestria live ponies, unicorns, and pegasi.
It's a beautiful, magical land full of fun.
I--Twilight Sparkle--study magic in Canterlot, where Princess Celestia resides.
I've discovered something of grave significance.
At this rate, something very bad will befall Equestria!

Pinkie: What? What? What's going to happen?!
I can't wait to find out!

Twilight: And thus, {\i1}My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic{\i0} now starts!

Prologue

Narrator: This is a　story from long long ago in the magical land of Equestria.
Two unicorn sisters cooperated to govern Equestria.
The older sister used magic to raise the Sun into the sky and create the day.
While the younger sister moved the Moon and created the night.
Thus they happily worked together for the sake of the ponies who lived in the kingdom.

Narrator: However, unbeknownst to others, the younger sister had become lonesome.
While all the ponies frolicked and had fun together during the day,
they all slept during the night.

Narrator: One night, the younger sister refused to lower the Moon.
The older sister tried to persuade her, but unfortunately the malice in the younger sister's heart turned her into the evil pony Nightmare Moon.
"I will make this into the land of the night," the younger sister said.

Narrator: Thus, the older sister used the strongest magic in ponydom, the Elements of Harmony.
Using them, she magically sealed away the younger sister in the moon.

Narrator/Twilight: Then the older sister took charge of both the Sun and the Moon, and the land has been peaceful ever since.

Twilight: Hmm... The Elements of Harmony. I'm sure I've heard of those before, but where?

Part 1: Twilight's Discovery

Title: Welcome to Ponyville

White pony: Twilight Sparkle!
Moon Dancer's having a party at the West Castle. You coming?

Twilight: Sorry, I've got some studying to do.

White pony: Is that all she's interested in?
She really does seem to love books more than friends.

Twilight: I'm certain I've heard of the Elements of Harmony somewhere before.
Spike! Spike!
Spike. There you are.
No. No. No. No, that's not it either... Spike!

Spike: Here you go.

Twilight: Ah!
Elements... Elements... E, e, e... There it is!
Elements of Harmony.
"See: Moon Pony"?

Spike: Moon Pony?
Isn't that just an old fairy tale?

Twilight: Moon.... moon... There we go.
Moon Pony. An ancient pony legend?
A powerful evil pony that was defeated by the magic of the Elements of Harmony, and sealed away in the Moon.
However, after a thousand years, on the eve of the Summer Solstice, she will break the seal and finally bring about the land of the night.
Spike! Do you know what this means?!

Spike: Nope.

Twilight: A letter to the Princess, please.

Spike: Okie dokie!

Twilight: My dearest Princess, in the course of my magical studies I have discovered something incredible.
A crisis is approaching for our land!

Spike: "Our ears are blocked..."?

Twilight: A crisis is...

Spike: "he he is..."

Twilight: A crisis is...
Something bad is about to happen!
I say this because the Moon Pony is none other than Nightmare Moon.
She will be revived and plans to create a land of night.
To keep that from happening, we must do something quickly!
I away your reply.
Your student, Twilight Sparkle.

Spike: "Twilight Sparkle." Finished!

Twilight: Very good. Send it off.

Spike: Now?

Twilight: Of course!

Spike: Really? The Princess is in the middle of preparations for the Summer Solstice Celebration.
That's the day after tomorrow, if I remember correctly.

Twilight: That's why it's so urgent.
The day after tomorrow is the thousandth Summer Solstice Celebration.
We should let the Princess know immediately!

Spike: "...know immediately."

Twilight: Send it off already!

Spike: Okay! I get it.
There, it's off.
I dunno if she'll respond, though.

Twilight: It'll be fine, Spike.
There's no need to worry. The Princess always trusts what I tell her.
See? Just like I said.

Spike: "To my dear Twilight Sparkle."
"I have the uttermost confidence in you."
"However, you can't just spend all your time reading books."

Part 2: Welcome to Ponyville

Spike: "Twilight Sparkle, there are things more important than studying."
"In that vein, I am sending you to supervise the preparations for the festival."
"The site for this year's festival is Ponyville."
"There's also one other thing that I would like you to do."
"And that is to make some friends."

Spike: This really isn't that bad.
And you get to stay at the library. Aren't you happy about that?

Twilight: Yeah, I am happy. Because I'm right.
I just have to finish with the festival preparations and then I do more research on Nightmare Moon.

Spike: What about friends?
The Princess said so.

Twilight: Preparations for the festival come first.
I'd love to do what she said, but there's no time for making friends right now.

Spike: Here's one of the Ponyville ponies. Why not try talking to her?
You'll be fine, it's easy.

Twilight: Um, Hello.
Yeah.... {\i1}Really{\i0} easy.

Spike: Summer Solstice Celebration supervision checklist.
First, food preparations at Sweet Apple Acres.

Twilight: Let's get this over with.
Hello, I'm Twilight Sparkle.

Applejack: Hiya! Nice to meetcha! Always happy to make a new acquaintance.
I'm Applejack. And now that we've introduced ourselves, let's be friends.

Twilight: Friends? That's not what I came here for.

Applejack: Well then, what'd you come for?

Twilight: We've come to check on the preparations for the Summer Solstice Celebration.
You're in charge of the food, correct?

Applejack: Bingo! That's correct!
You wanna try some?

Twilight: Sure, just a little bit, though.

Applejack: Food's ready, everypony!
Now, let me introduce my family.

Twilight: Sorry, we've really gotta go...

Applejack: This is Apple Fritter...
Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple,
Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp,
Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith.
Wake up, Granny Smith, we have a visitor.

Granny Smith: Hmm? Oh, time to eat. Okay, I'm coming.
Hey everypony, we've got some new family here.

Twilight: Eh heh heh... Well, looks like the foods in great shape, so we're just going to head back now.

Apple Bloom: You're not gonna stay for lunch?

Twilight: Sorry, but I'm {\i1}really{\i0} busy right now.
Fine, I'll stay and eat.

Spike: Well, the food's perfect. Next is the weather.

Twilight: Ugh... I ate way too much pie.
