The Irelanders' Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - To Where and Back Again/Transcript

This is the script for The Irelanders' Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - To Where and Back Again

Connor Lacey: Come on, guys. It's time to head to Equestria.

Max Taylor: Okay!

Rogue (X-Men Evolution): Yeah!

Preston Stormer: On it!

Lightning McQueen: Ka-Chow!

[So, the team head to Equestria in the Tortuga HQ]

[At the Castle of Friendship, Starlight Glimmer is helping Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon with cleaning the castle]

Spike: [grunting, yelps] Well, we don't all have magical horns.

[Then, there was a knock at the door]

Starlight Glimmer: I wonder who that could be?

Spike the Dragon: I'll get it!

[Spike opens up the door]

Thomas: Hey, guys!

Twilight Sparkle: Hey, Connor and Thomas.

[The Irelanders and the Steam Team came inside the castle]

Ulrich Stern: Whoa.

Starlight Glimmer: Is there a problem?

Aelita Schaeffer: No, none at all.

Twilight Sparkle: I've been meaning to move these older books to my reference section for a while. Got to keep the new books front and center! Thank you both for your help.

Starlight Glimmer: Are you kidding? After all you've done for me, this is the least I can do.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, please. I haven't done that much.

Korra: Yeah.

Starlight Glimmer: Nah. You just taught me the value of friendship. Not much at all.

Twilight Sparkle: I may have offered some guidance, but you are responsible for the pony you've become. I'm proud to call you my student and my friend. Now we just need to get rid of these boxes. Spike, can you—? Spike?

Spike: What's that?

Twilight Sparkle: Is it a bird?

Starlight Glimmer: Is it a parasprite?

Spike: It's... it's... incoming!

[Then, Durpy flies over to the castle then crashes at a floor and delivered a message]

Connor Lacey: It's a pony with a letter.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh. I usually get letters by dragon.

Spike: It is the fastest way to get mail!

Bumblebee (Prime): I wonder who is it for?

William Dunbar: It's for Starlight Glimmer.

Starlight Glimmer: For me? Who'd be sending me a letter? It's... the ponies from my old village.

Connor Lacey: We haven't seen them since you stole their Cutie Marks.

Twilight Sparkle: Are they in danger?

Spike: Are they upset with you?

Starlight Glimmer: No... It's worse! They've invited me to the annual Sunset Festival!

Thomas: Starlight, calm down. I'm sure it's not that bad.

Starlight Glimmer: Oh, come on! You don't know how worse things like these can get!

Wolverine (X-Men Evolution): I don't know about you guys, but she has a point.

[They look at him]

[Boo giggles]

[Young Irish Film Makers and Hasbro Studios presents The Irelanders' Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - To Where and Back Again (Full Movie)]

Starlight Glimmer: [exhales] Uh, hey there, everypony.

Party Favor: Uh... Hey, Starlight. What are you doing here?

Starlight Glimmer: I-I... I was invited. To the Sunset Festival?

Double Diamond: Uh, yeah, but we didn't think you'd actually show up.

Party Favor: You didn't think we really wanted you here, did you?

[paper tearing]

Starlight Glimmer: But... I... apologized. I thought everything was fine.

Double Diamond and Party Favor: [laughing derisively]

Village ponies: [increasingly deranged laughter]

Starlight Glimmer: Please...! Stop...! Stop!

[beat]

Starlight Glimmer: What happened? Is anypony there? Princess Luna? W-What are you doing here?

Princess Luna: Dreams are my domain, Starlight Glimmer. I am here because you need me to be.

Starlight Glimmer: Oh. It's only a dream.

Princess Luna: It may only be a dream, but the feelings in it are real.

Starlight Glimmer: [sighs] Great. So I guess I'm more afraid of going back to the village than I thought. What do I do now?

Princess Luna: I have been helped time and time again by six very special ponies. They helped me overcome my past. You're fortunate to have them as friends. I suggest you share your concerns with them. I see much of myself in you, Starlight Glimmer, and I can tell you from personal experience that things do indeed get better.

[magic zap]

Starlight Glimmer: [gasps]

[The next morning, Starlight told everyone what happened]

Starlight Glimmer: ...and Princess Luna said I should tell you all how I was feeling. So... there it is. I'm afraid to go back to the village for the celebration.

Thomas: Oh.

Boo: Pony. [goes over to Starlight and hugs her leg in comfort]

Starlight Glimmer: Aw.

Rarity: But why, darling? You went back to apologize. They accepted. Everypony has moved on.

Strongarm: Yeah.

Chris Kratt: So there's nothing to worry about.

Starlight Glimmer: But have they? They don't really know how much I've changed. Or even worse, maybe I haven't changed as much as I think I have!

Rainbow Dash: Trust me. You are a totally different pony now. I mean, you were pretty awful.

Applejack: Rainbow Dash!

Rainbow Dash: What? She was! It's a compliment!

Rogue (X-Men Evolution): Well, now's not the time. It'll only make her feel worse!

Fluttershy: I don't think they would've sent the invitation if they didn't want you to come. I'm sure they'd be happy to see you.

Pinkie Pie: And getting an invitation to a party and not going?! That's like... I-It's like...! Well, I don't know what it's like, but it is definitely bad.

Applejack: Just be honest with them. I'm sure they'll understand where you're comin' from.

Ash Ketchum: She's right Starlight.

Twilight Sparkle: I understand how hard this is for you. Maybe if you took a friend along, it might make things easier. Somepony you trust who would look out for you?

Mike Wazowski: Yeah, like Boo, for instance.

Connor Lacey: And me.

Iago: Yeah, don't forget me.

[Starlight Glimmer thinks about this then she takes Connor, Iago and Trixie with her to her village]

Starlight Glimmer: Thanks so much for doing this, Trixie. When Twilight said I should bring a friend, you were the first pony I thought of.

Trixie: Great idea, Princess Twilight. Asking me – Starlight's best friend – to help her on this difficult journey really shows how wise a princess you have become.

Twilight Sparkle: [through gritted teeth] Thanks, Trixie. [hushed, to Spike] I was talking about me.

Henry: I guess the old rivalry hasn't change yet.

Hiro: Still needs time to trust each other I suppose.

Starlight Glimmer: The festival lasts a whole week, but I'm sure we won't stay that long.

Trixie: Oh. I don't know, Starlight. Time really flies when you're spending it with your best friend! [giggles]

Connor Lacey: Mind if Iago and I go with you two?

Trixie: Of course Connor. You're Starlight's​ other bestie after all. And I suppose so since Iago's changed now.

Iago: Yep, that's why I want to go with you three.

Boo: Pony.

Starlight Glimmer: Guess you wanna come along too, Boo.

Boo: [Giggles]

[The Mane 6, The Steam Team and the Irelanders waved at Connor, Trixie, Starlight, Iago and Boo as they headed off to the village]

Twilight Sparkle: [Whispers] Be careful, Connor.

[Eagle screeches]

Iago: Whoa. I didn't know it would take this long to get to the village.

[At last, they have arrived]

Connor Lacey: We've made it.

Trixie: There it is! The town where you—

Starlight Glimmer: Magically stole everypony's cutie marks, replaced them with equal signs, and forced them all to hide their natural talents? Yes.

Trixie: I was going to say where you came from, but yours is a more... emotionally traumatic answer.

Starlight Glimmer: [sighs] I just want to... blend in. Be just another pony in the crowd enjoying the Sunset Festival with my two friends​.

Trixie: Sounds good to me! And if things get weird for you, just let me know. I've got your flank.

Boo: Pony.

Starlight Glimmer: And you too, Boo.

Connor Lacey: And me and Iago.

[Then, they went inside the village]

Starlight Glimmer: [sighs] I just want to... blend in. Be just another pony in the crowd enjoying the Sunset Festival with my two friends​.

Trixie: Sounds good to me! And if things get weird for you, just let me know. I've got your flank.

Starlight Glimmer: Is that a promise?

Trixie: Not just a promise. A great and powerful promise!

[bamf]

Trixie: [coughing]

Connor Lacey: She's sorry. She just can't resist doing that.

Starlight Glimmer: Well, I couldn't ask for more than that. If we're gonna do this, let's do it.

Double Diamond: Oh! Starlight, you came!

Starlight Glimmer: [nervous giggle]

Party Favor: We were worried you wouldn't be able to make it! Are you staying the whole week? We have different events planned each day!

Sugar Belle: How is it living in a castle?

Double Diamond: It is so good to see you!

Trixie: [mock-whisper] Oh, yeah. These ponies are terrifying. [giggles]

Starlight Glimmer: [small groan] It's good to see all of you, too.

Party Favor: You got here just in time. We were having some debate about these banners. Which do you think feels more "sunsetty"?

Starlight Glimmer: O-Oh, you don't need me to decide that. Heh. Whatever you think is probably best.

Double Diamond: Uh, well, how about helping us with the routes for the relay races tomorrow? Can you take a look?

Starlight Glimmer: Oh, I-I shouldn't. You all go ahead. I-I just want to enjoy the festival.

Sugar Belle: But you will be a judge for the baking competition, right?

Double Diamond: We had a few questions about the order of the acts for the talent show.

Night Glider: And the unicorns have a fireworks show planned! We could really use your help!

[villagers chattering loudly]

[magic zap]

Starlight Glimmer: No! [trembling]

[villagers gasping]

Trixie: The Great and Powerful Trixie would like to thank you all for being such an amazing audience. Sadly, it is time for us to depart. Good night, fillies and gentlefoals!

Connor Lacey: See you later.

[bamf]

[villagers coughing]

[villagers shocked muttering]

[Connor, Iago, Boo, Starlight and Trixie leave]

Iago: That went well.

Connor Lacey: Ya think?

Starlight Glimmer: Ugh! I was horrible when I led that town! I was ready for them to not trust me, but... I wasn't ready for them to put me in charge again! With my past, I should never be in charge of anything!

Trixie: So you messed up. Big deal. [hushed] Don't you ever tell another pony I said this, but even Trixie's made mistakes. [giggles] I know! The trick is to just move on and pretend they never happened.

Starlight Glimmer: I feel like that's almost good advice.

Connor Lacey: Indeed. Oh, hey guys.

[The Irelanders have welcomed Connor and his friends back]

Jimi Stringer: Hey.

MewTwo: Welcome back, Connor.

[Then, Pinkie Pie bounces up to Starlight and Trixie]

Starlight Glimmer: Hey, uh, Pinkie Pie!

Pinkie Pie: Hey... [beat] you!

Starlight Glimmer: So... you're probably wondering why I'm back so soon.

Pinkie Pie: Where were you?

Starlight Glimmer: I... went to my old village? For the festival?

Pinkie Pie: Ooh, sounds fun! How was it?

Starlight Glimmer: It was kind of a disaster. I came back early because I freaked out!

Pinkie Pie: Ooh, sounds awful! Bye!

[The gang looked at each other in confusion]

William Furno: What's her deal?

Yumi Ishiyama: I have no idea.

Trixie: Isn't she always strange?

Starlight Glimmer: Yeah, but not like that. Hey! I'm back early.

[Then, Applejack and Rarity came to the others]

Applejack: Hi, Connor.

Rarity: Ah. Welcome back?

Starlight Glimmer: Have you two noticed Pinkie acting a little strange?

Applejack: Pinkie Pie always acts strange.

Trixie: Told you.

Starlight Glimmer: Anyway, I wanted to talk to all of you. Things didn't go the way I thought they were going to go at the Sunset Festival.

Rarity: What happened?

Starlight Glimmer: I kind of freaked out and ran out of the village.

Connor Lacey: That's right.

Applejack and Rarity: [laughing]

Applejack: You freaked out and ran away from a festival? Ha! That's the funniest danged thing I've heard all day.

Rarity: [laughing] Oh my. Let me guess. The decorations were terrifying!

Applejack and Rarity: [inconsiderate laughter]

Fluttershy: [whispering] ...Applejack for friendship business.

[Applejack and Rarity nod their heads]

Preston Stormer: Where are you going?

Rainbow Dash: Hello, ponies. We need Rarity and Applejack. Very important friendship business.

Trixie: I have to say, I'm really not as impressed with your friends as the rest of Equestria is.

Starlight Glimmer: We need to talk to Twilight!

Connor Lacey: I'm with you Starlight. I just hope that she's okay.

[The team made it to the Castle of Friendship to inform Twilight Sparkle]

Boo: Pony.

Connor Lacey: Don't worry, Boo. If something bad's happened I'll let you know.

[door creaking]

[knocking]

Starlight Glimmer: Twilight? Hello?

Connor Lacey: Twilight? Are you there?

Spike: What do you two want? Twilight's very busy!

Starlight Glimmer: Spike, we really need to speak with her.

Connor Lacey: Starlight has something she needs to tell her.

Natalie Breez: It's important.

Spike: Make an appointment! She's a princess, after all!

[hatch slams]

[knocking]

Starlight Glimmer: What's wrong with you? Why are you being so—

Twilight Sparkle: Rude? I think a certain dragon didn't get his nap today.

Spike: Yeah, right. Whatever.

Preston Stormer: [whispering to Connor] What's his deal?

Connor Lacey: [whispers back to Preston] I have no idea.

Twilight Sparkle: Sorry. He's been acting a little off all day. I think he missed a meal or something.

Starlight Glimmer: He's not the only one. Everypony's acting a little strange today.

[Boo hides in Connor's backpack]

Lightning McQueen: I don't get it.

Metabee: What's wrong, Boo?

Boo: Cuckoo. [points at Spike]

Twilight Sparkle: Yes, it's definitely been one of those days! How are you?

Starlight Glimmer: Not great, actually. You're probably wondering why I'm back from the village so early.

Twilight Sparkle: I didn't want to bring it up, but yeah, it did seem strange. Did it not go well?

Starlight Glimmer: The townsponies kept asking me things, like they expected me to be in charge again. But being a leader is the last thing I should ever be. So we left. Very suddenly. In a literal puff of smoke.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow, you should definitely never go back to that village.

Starlight Glimmer: What?

Connor Lacey: Huh?

Preston Stormer: Why not?

Twilight Sparkle: If you were worried about what they thought of you before, it's probably way worse now. I'd cut my losses.

[Then, Rainbow Dash came through the door and signals Twilight to get in the throne room]

[Twilight nods her head]

Twilight Sparkle: Ah! Speaking of friends, if you'll excuse me, important business to attend to!

[door closes]

Starlight Glimmer: Cut my losses? That can't be right.

Connor Lacey: Yeah.

[Then, that night]

[Starlight Glimmer have come to the village]

[The ponies are walking]

Blythe Baxter: You got it, Connor.

[eagle cries]

Connor Lacey: We've made it.

Agumon: What a shame.

[Tai whispers]

Ash Ketchum: Oh gotta go. Business.

Connor Lacey: Odd.

Starlight Glimmer: Hey, uh, Pinkie Pie!

Pinkie Pie: Hey... [beat] you!

Starlight Glimmer: That's... surprising advice, coming from you.

Connor Lacey: Of course.

Twilight Sparkle: Trust me. I'm the Princess of Friendship. You don't need those ponies. You can always make more friends.

[door opens]

Twilight Sparkle: Ah! Speaking of friends, if you'll excuse me, important business to attend to!

[door closes]

Starlight Glimmer: Cut my losses? That can't be right.

Connor Lacey: Yeah.

[tumbleweeds rolling]

[doors open]

Starlight Glimmer: Hey, I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier. Party Favor, can you hear me?

Twilight Sparkle: I told you you can never speak to them again!

Starlight Glimmer: What are you all doing here?

Twilight Sparkle: Making sure you do what I said! I'm your teacher, aren't I? Didn't I say to never come back here?!

Starlight Glimmer: Yes, but that just doesn't seem right. You aren't acting like yourself.

Starlight Glimmer and Princess Luna: Something is wrong!

[wind blows]

Starlight Glimmer: A dream? This is another dream!

[wind blows]

Starlight Glimmer: A dream? This is another dream!

Princess Luna: [whispering] Starlight Glimmer...!

Starlight Glimmer: Princess Luna?

Princess Luna: Starlight Glimmer!

Starlight Glimmer: Princess Luna, where are you?

Princess Luna: Starlight Glimmer, there is no time! You must get help!

Starlight Glimmer: What? What are you talking about? This is just a dream!

Princess Luna: Not here! In the waking world! They've taken my sister and I! It's worse than the last time! Your dream called to me, and I was able to break through! You must find help!

Starlight Glimmer: What are you saying?! Who's taken you?!

Princess Luna: Be careful who you trust! You need all the help you can find! The changelings have returned and— [gasps]

Starlight Glimmer: Princess Luna!

[The dream was sucking up everything and Starlight woken up]

Connor Lacey: What is it, Starlight?

Starlight Glimmer: [panting] They're back!

Connor Lacey: Who's back?

Starlight Glimmer: The Changelings!

[The Irelanders gasped]

Julius Nex: That's not good!

Shimmer (Shimmer and Shine): We gotta get Trixie!

[bushes rustling]

[knocking]

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie? Trixie, it's Starlight and Connor! Are you awake?

Trixie: [muffled, bleary] Of course, Princess Celestia... I'd love to perform for peanut butter crackers...

[knocking]

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie, wake up!

Lightning McQueen: Mater, do your thing.

Mater: [Honks horn]

[fireworks exploding]

Trixie: [coughing] [tired] Starlight? Connor? What time is it?

Lightning McQueen: We hate to be waking you up at a time like this, but we have a major problem.

Starlight Glimmer: It's late. I think I figured out what's wrong with my friends!

Trixie: [yawning] I have a whole list of things that are wrong with your friends. We can go over it in the morning.

Starlight Glimmer: No, Trixie, we're in danger!

[door opens]

Trixie: [sighs] Okay, fine! Aside from lack of sleep, how are we in danger?

Starlight Glimmer: I think the—! [beat] What did you tell me never to tell another pony?

Trixie: Starlight and Connor, if you woke me up to play guessing games—

Starlight Glimmer: After we left my village, what did you tell me to never tell another pony you said?

Trixie: [sighs] [through very gritted teeth] That even Trixie's made mistakes.

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie, there's no time for this! What did you say?

Trixie: That even Trixie's made mistakes! Okay? Are you happy?!

Starlight Glimmer: [sighs] Yes. Sorry. I just had to make sure you weren't... [hushed] one of them!

Trixie: [hushed] One of who?

Starlight Glimmer: A changeling! I think they've taken Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!

Trixie: What?! Are you sure?! I mean, what do we—? We have to tell Twilight!

Starlight Glimmer: If I'm right, then it's too late for that.

Shine (Shimmer and Shine): What?

Connor Lacey: What do you mean, Starlight?

Thomas: She means that if she's right about talking to Twilight, it's too late for that.

Connor Lacey: What are you both talking about?!

Starlight Glimmer: You'll find out.

Main cast: [unintelligible mutterings]

[thwack]

Spike: [yelps]

[thwack]

Spike: [groans]

Rarity: [inconsiderate laughter]

[The heroes have looked at each other in confusion]

Twilight Sparkle: Is it ready?

Applejack: Just one more.

[magic energy crackling]

Starlight Glimmer: Queen Chrysalis!

Queen Chrysalis: Ugh. I can't take any of you seriously when you look like that.

[The others are really confused]

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, right.

[changeling transforming zaps]

Preston Stormer: Starlight, you were right.

Connor Lacey: Twilight!

[Queen Chrysalis smiled]

Randall Boggs: Much better. Now report!

Changeling: Everything here is going according to plan! We've replaced the six ponies and their dragon, and have taken control of the castle!

Connor Lacey: [Whispers] Oh Twilight​.

Linda Alpha: That's quite the admiration. Megatronus: You said it. Overlord Makuta Midnight Sparkle Ultimate Ninja Drako Ultron Sigma Kilobot Lucemon Mortum Terrorax Makino Zarc Von Nebula Firelord Witch Doctor Black Phantom Ryan/The Chimera Shredderette: Whoa. Soon, we will take all of Equestria and the other 15 realms.

Queen Chrysalis: Excellent. And I've just received word that the princesses from Canterlot have successfully been replaced as well.

Sailor John: Not to mention Thomas' friends.

Changelings: [laughing]

Queen Chrysalis: We thought too small last time. One ponynapped princess wasn't enough. With all the most beloved ponies of Equestria taken care of, nopony can stop us! [evil laughter]

Changelings: [laughing]

Miles Callisto: Oh, yeah!

Loretta Callisto: This is it for real!

[door creaks]

Changelings: [hissing]

[changeling transforming zaps]

[door slams opens]

Changeling Twilight: [as Twilight] [sniffing]

Trixie: [gasps for breath]

[magic zap]

[magic zap]

Connor Lacey: I can't believe that they kidnapped Twilight. Just you wait until I get my hands on Queen Chrysalis.

[Raven Queen placed an arm on Connor]

Trixie: [panting] I can't deal with this! I'm just a performer! This is... This is princess-level stuff! But the changelings have all the princesses... We're doomed!

Starlight Glimmer: Maybe not. Uh, Queen Chrysalis only said they took Luna and Celestia and obviously Twilight and the others... but maybe Cadance is still safe. Our best bet is to get to the Crystal Empire before the changelings do. That way we can—

Thorax: There's no help coming from the Crystal Empire.

Trixie: [shrieks]

Thomas: Trixie, calm down! He's not what you think!

Aelita Schaffner: Thorax is a good Changeling.

Starlight Glimmer: Thorax?

Thorax: Yes.

Starlight Glimmer: Your wings look... different.

Thorax: I guess they do.
