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 Twilight's castle, Twilight, Starlight and Spike are bringing books to the basement down the stairs]

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

[He falls over and Twilight uses her magic to move the books and catches him from falling]

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.

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 is looking out the window, seeing something]

Spike: What's that?

[There's a tiny something coming from the distance]

Twilight Sparkle: Is it a bird?

Starlight Glimmer: Is it a parasprite?

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

[They duck down just as Derpy Hooves flew into the castle and crashed into the pile of books that Twilight stacked]

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

Spike: It is the fastest way to get mail!

[Twilight is about use her magic to get the letter in Derpy's mouth but Derpy move away and trots over to Starlight]

Starlight Glimmer: For me? Who'd be sending me a letter?

[She took the letter and reads it then a worried look appears on her face]

Starlight Glimmer: It's... the ponies from my old village.

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!

[Twilight, Spike and Derpy look confused at this. The intro begins and ends with the title The Irelanders' Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - To Where And Back Again. In Our Town, the ponies are getting ready for the festival when Starlight appears. She took a deep breath and trotted into Our Town. The ponies turn to see her with surprised looks]

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?

[He tore up the invitation]

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!

[Starlight open an eye and saw that it's nighttime and fog is rolling in Our Town and the townponies are gone]

Starlight Glimmer: What happened? Is anypony there?

[Then a shadow looms over her. Starlight turns to see Princess Luna walking out of the fog towards her]

Starlight Glimmer: 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 and people. They helped me overcome my past. You're fortunate to have them as friends. I suggest you share your concerns with them.

[She starts to walk on a glittering cloud and rose up to the sky]

Princess Luna: I see much of myself in you, Starlight Glimmer, and I can tell you from personal experience that things do indeed get better.

[Starlight smiles at those words and the moon starts to shine brightly. Starlight wakes up from her dream. Looking at the moon outside her window, she began to ponder what Luna had said. In the throne room next morning, she gathered the Mane 6, Spike, The Steam Team and the Irelanders to the throne room to talk about her anxiety of going to the Sunset Festival]

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.

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

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!

Gordon: Either way, Starlight, this is a chance to ensure that they know you've changed for real.

Iago: Yeah. (to Rainbow Dash) Besides, some of us are trying to move on from our evil deeds, mistakes and other things.

Rainbow Dash: Sorry.

Fireman Sam: You can say that it only makes her and Iago feel a lot worse.

Rainbow Dash: Oh. I see.

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.

Aviva Corcovado: You should accept the invitation and go. To not go just wouldn't be right.

Connor Lacey: Indeed. Their reactions might be different from your thoughts of being unforgiven about the Cutie Mark incident.

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

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?

[Starlight thinks and the scene changes to the group outside Trixie's wagon and Starlight ask her to come]

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.

Edward: (sighs) Looks like the rivalry between Twilight and Trixie still hasn't been fixed yet.

Connor Lacey: It sure hasn't.

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]

Twilight Sparkle: [strained noise]

Thomas: I think some of us can go with Starlight and Trixie to make sure she'II be alright.

Connor Lacey: I'll go with them to the Sunset festival if that's alright with you, Twilight. I'll be bringing Thomas, Percy, Toby, Maisie, Paxton, Hiro, The Kratt Bros, Fireman Sam, Sulley, Mike, Iago, Mewtwo, Boo, Violet, Dash, Norman Price, Spud, Aviva, Koki, Slyly, The Farthing Wood Animals, Leonard, Baloo, Bagheera, The Penguins and The Lion Guard with me just to keep Starlight company and to make sure she relaxes. The rest of you stay with Twilight and her friends and make sure they'II be safe.

Irelanders: Yes, Connor.

Connor Lacey: (to Twilight) Twilight, please be careful while I'm gone.

Twilight Sparkle: I will, Connor. Don't worry.

[The scene changes to Starlight, Trixie and The Irelanders approaching Our Town from a distance]

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.

Sulley: Trixie, it only makes Starlight even more worse.

Mike Wazowski: Perhaps try and make your sentence a bit more encouraging.

Fox (Farthing Wood): It is nice to be here helping your friend, Connor. But I smell a rat.

Connor Lacey: What do you mean, Fox?

Fox: I mean, there might be more to this than we think.

Aviva Corcovado: Like what?

Fox: What if something were to happen to our friends while we were gone? What if the invitation is some sort of distraction?

Paxton: I'm not sure the ponies from Starlight's village would do anything like that. They're good ponies since we helped them get their cutie marks back.

Fox: I don't mean them, Paxton. I mean, someone else.

Maisie Lockwood: (to Starlight with sympathy) You'll be fine, Starlight.

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

[She throws a smokebomb and it explodes everywhere, making her, Starlight and the Irelanders coughing]

Starlight Glimmer: Well, I couldn't ask for more than that.

Iago: And cut down on the smokebombs.

Starlight Glimmer: If we're gonna do this, let's do it.

Connor Lacey: Okay. Let's go.

Fox: Alright. I still have my suspicions though.

[They walk into Our Town and Double Diamond and Party Favor saw them with happy smiles]

Double Diamond: Oh! Starlight, you came!

Starlight Glimmer: [nervous giggle]

Skipper: Just like I taught the boys. Smile and wave.

Toby: You can do it, Starlight!

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]

Bagheera: Enough games, Trixie!

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!

[Starlight starts to get stressful as the villagers start asking all at once]

Starlight Glimmer: No! [trembling]

[She eventually let out a blast of pure magic and it knocks the ponies away from her. She move her head to the ground and cover it with her hoofs. The ponies are confused at this and rub their heads from the blast]

Hiro: Now look what you've done, you've all put too much pressure on her.

Koki: She's just a little stressed.

[Trixie looks awkwardly at this]

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!

[She throws a smokebomb and it covers their view as they made their getaway and heading back to Ponyville]

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!

Percy: You just need to pull yourself together.

Martin Kratt: Yeah, Starlight, chill out.

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.

Baloo: She's got a point.

Connor Lacey: Let's just go back to Ponyville and figure things out from there.

[The scene changes to Ponyville where the heroes saw Pinkie bouncing along the town and ran up to her]

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!

[She zooms off and Fox looks at Connor]

Fox: Is it me or is Pinkie not acting like herself?

Connor Lacey: Those suspicions of yours may have been right after all, Fox.

Starlight Glimmer: That was... strange.

Trixie: Isn't she always strange?

Starlight Glimmer: Yeah, but not like that.

Skipper: Kowaski, analysis.

Kowaski: She seems to be in a very bad way than being silly as usual.

Fireman Sam: Hmm. This is very suspicious.

[Then, Rarity and Applejack came into view]

Starlight Glimmer: Hey! I'm back early.

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.

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!

[Starlight, Trixie and the Irelanders look at each other in confusion. Then Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy fly in and Fluttershy whispers something in Rainbow Dash's ear]

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

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

[As they left, Rainbow whips her tail at them, confusing them even Fox]

Thomas: That's funny. They never laugh at someone's misfortunes.

Aviva Corcovado: And Rainbow never whips her tail like that.

Kion: Yeah, this is definitely strange.

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

Starlight Glimmer: I need to talk to Twilight!

[She runs towards to Twilight's castle but the door's locked when she tries to open it. She knocks]

Starlight Glimmer: Twilight? Hello?

[A hatch open and Spike saw her outside]

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

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

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

[He shuts the hatch hard, leaving Starlight shocked by his behavior as Connor arrives with his friends. She knocks again]

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

[The door opens and Twilight appears]

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

Spike: Yeah, right. Whatever.

[Spike walks away and Starlight and Connor step inside the castle]

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.

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.

Connor Lacey: Thanks to Trixie.

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

Starlight Glimmer: What?

Connor Lacey: Twilight, you're not being very helpful at the moment. I honestly think she deserves to try again.

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

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

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

[Then a door opens and Rainbow Dash pokes her head out and beckons to Twilight before ducking back in]

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

[Spike gestures that he's keeping a eye on Starlight and Connor and their friends before walking after Twilight]

Connor Lacey: That's not like Twilight to say that.

Boo: [taps Connor's arm]

Connor Lacey: What is it, Boo?

Boo: [gestures to the other Irelanders]

[Connor turns to see the rest of the Irelanders approaching them from outside]

Connor Lacey: You were supposed to keep an eye on Twilight and her friends whilst we were gone!

Raven Queen: Oh, sorry, o gracious leader of ours. But we were caught up some stuff.

Percy: What sort of stuff?

Cubby: Super important Irelander stuff you wouldn't understand!

Toby: Now don't be talking to us like that!

Avalanche: Look, we've been busy and are very tired. So we request permission to rest.

Connor Lacey: Permission granted. But don't let me down again.

Irelanders: Yes, sir!

[They left]

Thomas: This is very strange.

Fox: Something must have happened while we were away.

Maisie Lockwood: I don't know what's gotten into them.

Connor Lacey: Yes, Maisie. Why's Twilight acting so strange?

Ash Ketchum: Yeah and our friends.

Beshte: We'd better discuss this in the morning.

Fireman Sam: He's right. It's getting late.

Connor Lacey: (worried for Twilight) I hope she's feeling alright.

Fox: Hmm. Why do I sense something inside Connor that makes him care for Twilight?

[They walk off to sleep, unaware that Shupavu and Njano is watching them before slithering away. As night fall, Starlight heads for bed, still thinking what Twilight said]

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

[She turn off her lamp and went to sleep. She dreams that she was at Our Town at a foggy night with tumbleweeds rolling from one side to the other and a pony walk pass to the other house. Starlight saw Double Diamond walking pass her]

Starlight Glimmer: Hey, I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier.

[But Double Diamond just walked on, ignoring her. Then Party Favor walks by]

Starlight Glimmer: Party Favor, can you hear me?

[But Party Favor just ignored her and walked on. Starlight felt sad that she's been ignored]

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

[Starlight looks up and sees Twilight and her friends looking at her coldly and crossly]

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!

[Starlight looks around for where Luna's voice is coming from. Then she saw Twilight and her friends disappear from sight]

Starlight Glimmer: A dream? This is another dream!

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

Starlight Glimmer: Princess Luna?

[She look around for Luna's voice and her location]

Princess Luna: Starlight Glimmer!

Starlight Glimmer: Princess Luna, where are you?

[Princess Luna appears in the moon, looking at her with a panicking look on her face]

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!

[She felt herself being pulled by something]

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]

[Two changelings jump on her and dragged her into the moon]

Starlight Glimmer: Princess Luna!

[Then her dream begins to collapse around Starlight as she jumps but got sucked into a black hole. She then woke up and was shocked by the news]

Starlight Glimmer: [panting] They're back!

[The scene changes to Starlight using her magic to float out of the balcony and into a bush. She look towards Trixie's wagon and knocks on the door with the Irelanders beside her]

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

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

[Starlight and the Irelanders got confused by this sleep talk and knock again]

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie, wake up!

[Then fireworks went off in all directions and Trixie open the window, coughing out smoke and looking tired]

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

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!

[She use her magic to pull Trixie out of her wagon]

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, 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.

Connor Lacey: What do you mean by too late for that?

Starlight Glimmer: You'II see.

[The scene changes to the castle door and Starlight, Trixie and the Irelanders enter it and approaches the throne room door. They peek through a gap to see the Mane 6 and Spike sat around the thrones. Spike draws a picture of Fluttershy sticking her tongue and smells on her throne. Fluttershy smacks him away towards Pinkie's throne and she punches him againest the table and Rarity laughs at that. The heroes watch this from behind the door with concern and confusion. Pinkie stick out her tongue at Spike as Twilight enters the throne room]

Twilight Sparkle: Is it ready?

Applejack: Just one more.

[Then the rest of Connor's team show up and Applejack put a black scarab on the table and it opens to let green energy out and the other scarabs do the same till they create a commutation link which shows Queen Chrysalis in it]

Starlight Glimmer: Queen Chrysalis!

Kion: She's back?! Hevi kabisa!

[Then Diesel 10, Diesel, Professor Pericles and Linda Ryan/The Shredderette appear on the link to speak to Twilight and her friends as well]

Thomas: Diesel! Diesel 10!

Maisie Lockwood: Professor Pericles!

Sulley: Linda Ryan!

[Queen Chrysalis look at Twilight and her friends and sighs with disgust]

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

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, right.

[She and her friends turn into the changelings which the heroes gasp at. Then Diesel 10 looks at the rest of Connor's team]

Diesel 10: As we can clearly see that no one is watching, you can take off your disguises.

[The rest of Connor's team take their disguises off, revealing themselves to be changelings as well]

Queen Chrysalis: Much better. Now report!

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

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

Changelings: [laughing]

[The Irelanders, Starlight and Trixie look at each other with worry]

Diesel: Thomas and Connor will pay for ruining my plan to get to the Great Railway Show, especially Paxton for thinking Thomas' whistle is my signal. That's the last time I ever get Paxton involved with my plans. From now on, it'II just be 'Arry and Bert and not goodie diesels who are incompetent fools.

[Paxton gasps]

Diesel 10: True. He did refused to help me steal the garland from Tidmouth Sheds at Christmas. But once Thomas, Percy and Toby are detained, they won't be able to stop us from diesel dominate Sodor and prove that we are much better than steamies, putting an end to the age of steam, once and for all! (his claw snaps a few times)

Professor Pericles: I'm so grateful that you brought me back, Linda.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: It's my pleasure, Professor.

Professor Pericles: It's a good thing that you get Thanos to use his Time Stone to restore Crystal Cove back to being the Most Hauntest Place on Earth and brings me, Ricky, Brad and Judy back to our evil selves. So now I want revenge on those Irelanders for helping the kinder foiling my plans to get the Planispheric Disk. They'II pay. All of them. They will pay.

[Connor and his friends gasp by this statement]

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: I know. I want revenge on them just as much as you do. At least the plan is in perfect motion.

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]

[Starlight, Trixie and the Irelanders look worried about this. But then Starlight accidentally make the door creak, alerting the changelings to their presence. They resume their disguises and they went to find whoever's making that noise. They walk past Starlight, Trixie and the Irelanders who are in an invisible spell that Starlight put up. Then the Twilight changeling stops and sniffs for their scent. She sniff past them and trot off out of the area. Starlight removes the invisible spell and Trixie gasps for breath. Before she starts hyperventilating, Starlight transport them outside to Trixie's wagon where Trixie tries to catch her breath]

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!

Fireman Sam: Trixie, calm down!

Connor Lacey: (shocked about Twilight's capture with worrisome) This is terrible! How could they do this to Twiley-kins?

Violet Parr: This is just like when Evelyn Deavor used her hypono goggles on our parents to make them serve in her plans to make supers remain illegal forever.

Private: When did that happen?

Violet Parr: It happened a long time ago when Mom is helping to make supers legal again.

Dash Parr: Looks like we're gonna have to rescue our parents again.

Fox: So my suspicions were right. It was a distraction.

Thomas: And now it's up to us to stop the changelings before they take over Equestria again.

[Hiro notices Connor worried about Twilight]

Hiro: What's wrong, Connor?

Connor Lacey: It's just that I told Twilight to be safe when we left but I was worried and now she's been kidnapped by changelings and our enemies. This is the worst low I've ever saw in my life! They're gonna pay for this!

Hiro: No, Connor. Acting so rash is never the right way!

Maisie Lockwood: Hiro's right. It wouldn't be right to get consumed by anger too much.

Fireman Sam: Yes. You'II ended doing bad than good. What would Twilight say if you do that?

Connor Lacey: (still angry but seeing Hiro, Sam and Maisie's point) I suppose you're right. I won't act rashly but they'll will pay for capturing Twilight.

Leonard: I-if you say so, little buddy.

Iago: But now we don't have the two princesses to protect us.

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.

[They turn to see Thorax emerging from the bushes]

Trixie: [shrieks]

[Starlight put a soundproof bubble around Trixie to mute her screams]

Starlight Glimmer: Thorax?

Connor Lacey: Is that you?

Thorax: Yes.

Starlight Glimmer: Your wings look... different.

[Thorax's wings look crystallize and sparkly]

Thorax: I guess they do.

[Then Starlight grew suspicious and glows her horn at Thorax

Starlight Glimmer: How do I know you aren't some other changeling pretending to be Thorax?

Thorax: You, Connor and his team were there when Spike defended me to the ponies of the Crystal Empire. Princess Twilight said.......

[He turns into Twilight]

Thorax: As the Princess of Friendship, I should set an example for all of Equestria. But today it was Spike who taught me—

Starlight Glimmer: Okay, okay. I believe you. We don't need the whole speech.

Koki: Yep. We get it.

[Thorax changes back to his own self]

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie, this is Thorax. He's a reformed changeling. He's on our side. Understand?

[She nods and Starlight removes the bubble from her]

Thorax: Hi. It's a pleasure to...

[He lend out a hoof to Trixie but she just recoils in fear]

Trixie: If Starlight says you're on our side, I believe her. But maybe just stay over there for now, okay?

Paxton: [sternly] Trixie, he's a good changeling. He won't feed on your love, I promise.

Toby: Yes. So stop being fearful and take his hoof.

Norman Price: She just have to have panic attacks, doesn't she?

Spud the Scarecrow: Yeah. Can't she get a grip?

Starlight Glimmer: What did you mean there's no help? Did the changelings get Cadance too?

Thorax: They took Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart! Sunburst sent me here to get Princess Twilight's help, but... but it sounds like it's too late for that, too! So... what should we do?

Voice: You might need my help too.

Connor (Thomas & Friends): Huh? Who's that?

[Then Norman the diesel comes rolling up to the group]

Mewtwo: Norman!

Starlight Glimmer: You know him?

Paxton: Yes. Norman's one of the good diesels on Sodor.

Thomas: He once offer me to stay at the Dieselworks when the turntable at Tidmouth Sheds was frozen one winter ago.

Norman Price: Yeah, he also has the same name as me.

Trixie: That's very interesting.

Connor Lacey: What are you doing here, Norman?

Norman: I was looking for you guys since The Great Railway Show ended.

Fox: And for what specific reason?

Thomas: (remembering crashing into Norman by Diesel's trick and realize that he didn't get to apologize) Oh! I'm sorry about that accident at Knapford, Norman. I hope you weren't too badly damaged.

Norman: It's okay, Thomas. And I know it's Diesel's trick that's to blame. I hear from Paxton that Cranky accidentally loaded Diesel onto a ship with a crate.

Connor Lacey: Yeah. He did.

Paxton: But now he's back and working with Queen Chrysalis along with Diesel 10, Professor Pericles and Linda Ryan.

Norman: Oh dear. I remember those two females from the time we tricked Percy and the Irelanders into helping us takeover the Steamworks. Good thing Percy forgive the two of us for that since we're really good diesels. What are they up to now?

Maisie Lockwood: They're trying to take over Equestria and they've captured all the princesses!

Aviva Corcovado: Even the rest of our teammates have been captured!

Percy: And our friends!

Norman: Oh, dear. That's terrible. I wanna help.

Skipper: Looks like we need more help.

[Then a aircraft appears and the North Wind jumps down to the ground in front of the group]

Classified: Fear not, my friends. You're now under the service of the North Wind. (he shows the symbol to the group) You're welcome.

Connor Lacey: Glad you guys could make it.

Classified: Yes, of course. It's been a while since we stop David the octopus from taking all the penguins and mutated them into monsters.

Violet Parr: Yep. It sure is.

Thomas: What brings you animals to Equestria?

Classified: Well, ever since the Crystalling, we've been tracking any changeling presence. We even heard that there's a good changeling at the Crystal Empire but I found that hard to believe.

Iago: But there is. North Wind, meet Thorax the good changeling.

[Thorax steps forward]

Thorax: Hi. (nervous chuckles)

Short Fuse: You're the good changeling everyone's been talking about?

Thorax: Yes.

Eva: What happened to your wings?

Thorax: I'm not sure but I'm here to help.

Classified: Are you sure, you're not telling lies to us?

Thorax: Of course.

Corpal: We've also got word that the princesses, Shining Armour, Cadance and Flurry Heart got captured by the changelings.

Classified: Where's Twilight and her friends?

Hiro: They've been captured by changelings.

Classified: What?!

Connor Lacey: It's true.

Eva: Sir, there's no trace of the ponies in the area. Our friends are right.

Corporal: So many ponies!

[He yells and starts to do stress-eating things in quick]

Short Fuse: Boss! He's stress-eating again!

Classified: Corporal?

Eva: There, there.

Short Fuse: Rub the angry out of the tummy.

Classified: Corporal? Fo... focus. We are going to save those helpless ponies, because we are the North Wind, and no one... no one breaks the Wind.

Corporal: (mouth full) No one breaks the Wind.

Classified: There's a good Corporal.

Starlight Glimmer: Does he always do that a lot?

Short Fuse: Yes. We often tries to calm him down a lot when it happens.

Beshte: Poa! That sure is a habit.

Fireman Sam: But we don't have anyone else with magic to help.

Connor Lacey: This situation is getting worser by the minute.

Trixie: Yeah, Starlight. What are we gonna do?

Starlight Glimmer: I... I don't know! There has to be somepony else who can handle this?

Trixie: There is nopony else! Everypony with powerful magic is already gone!

[Then a red tail snakes down from the roof of Trixie's wagon and the group look up to see Discord sewing a rabbit doll together]

Discord: You know whenever ponies talk about powerful magic, they always leave me out. If I weren't so evolved, I might decide to take it personally. Well, isn't this quite the combination of secondary characters? Where are Twilight and the girls?

Starlight Glimmer: First, how do we know that you're really you?

[Discord looks cross and snap his fingers to make flowers grew legs and dance. A tree becomes a cuckoo clock with a squirrel in it and the landscape turns into a chaotic waste land and the group slips on soapy ground]

Connor Lacey: Okay, Discord, we believe you.

Discord: Shall I continue?

Starlight Glimmer: Chrysalis, the villains and the changelings are back. They've ponynapped all of the most powerful ponies in Equestria! Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Connor's friends, Twilight and her friends. We need to—

[Discord looks disinterested at first but when Starlight mention Twilight and her friends being kidnapped, his eyes grew wide with shock and he snaps his fingers to dispel his chaos and lean close to Starlight with an angry glare on his face]

Discord: [hushed] They took Fluttershy?

Starlight Glimmer: Yes!

Discord: [menacingly] Where?

Starlight Glimmer: The Changeling Kingdom. With you on our side, I can—

[Discord snaps his fingers and they transported to the edge of some woods]

Iago: Uh, never mind.

Discord: Odd. I was trying to take us right to Fluttershy, but there is no Fluttershy.

[His eyes stretched out of their sockets to the ground like snakes, to which Maisie reacts with a shudder down her spine]

Maisie Lockwood: [shudder] That's creepy.

Fox: [sniffs at the ground] The place we're looking for is not far from here.

[Trixie looks over and shudders in fear]

Trixie: [whimpers] I think I have a pretty good idea where she might be...

[Everyone look and there far off in the distance is the Changeling Kingdom, a giant grey hive which is shaped like a castle. The area is like a wasteland]

Thorax: I'd hoped never to see that place again. Now what?

[Everyone look at Starlight who got scared and nervous now. They survey the changelings kingdom from their position, mostly Discord who is very confused about what happened]

Discord: Oh, this is so strange. We're here and that's there, and I clearly meant for us to be there and not here.

Thorax: Oh, I-I can probably explain—

Discord: Oh, well. If at first you don't succeed...

[He's about to snap his lion fingers but Starlight's aura glows on it and stop him from doing it]

Starlight Glimmer: Maybe we should come up with a plan first?

Discord: [blows] A what?

Trixie: You know, figuring out the best way to do something before you actually do it.

Discord: [laughs] Oh, that's adorable. But you see, unlike you, I can do anything.

Thorax: Uh, actually—

Discord: That's all very nice, but really a waste of time. We have me. And what else could we possibly need?

Trixie: A draconequus with magic and half a brain might help.

Discord: Why are you here again? I mean, it's not like you're going to stop the changelings by pulling a rabbit out of a hat. At least my magic can do something.

[Discord pulls out another Trixie's head out of Trixie's hat. Both Trixies look at Discord annoyed]

Thorax: The thing about magic here is—

Discord: Like this! [snaps]

[He magic up a pig with wings and wears a uniform]

Discord: For Fluttershy!

[But as he goes over the edge, the Pigasus and his uniform disappears and he falls, managing to hold on to the ledge]

Discord: Yaaah!

[He gets up and snap his fingers to summon up a pigasus and direct it to fly to the edge but like before, it disappears into thin air]

Thorax: I've been trying to tell you! Nothing other than changeling magic works here. Chrysalis' throne is carved from an ancient dark stone that soaks up outside magic the same way changelings soak up love. It's how she keeps the hive safe.

[Starlight trots over to the edge and put her magic beam in the air to which it vanishes]

Connor Lacey: (to Thorax) Now you tell us?

Mewtwo: You could've told us this before Discord took us here.

Trixie: [to Starlight] So, uh, what kind of plan were you thinking?

Starlight Glimmer: Without magic, I have no idea. But nopony else is coming. So somepony better come up with something.

[There's some silence as no one has an idea]

Starlight Glimmer: Anypony? Anything?

[The Irelanders, Discord, Trixie and Thorax look at each other for a sec then look at Starlight for the answers]

Kowalski: Sorry, Starlight. No clue.

[Starlight felt discouraged and tries to think of a way to fix this]

Starlight Glimmer: Hmm. This throne – if we get into the hive and destroy it, can we get our magic back?

Thorax: Uh-huh!

Connor Lacey: That's a good idea. What do you guys think?

[Everyone thinks about it]

Fireman Sam: Hmm. That could work.

Discord: Well, that's a terrible plan. How are we even supposed to get to the hive?

Trixie: We walk.

Iago: Or fly since some of us have wings.

[Discord look at the kingdom in the distance and his long neck shudder at the thought of walking that far]

Discord: I haven't walked that far in a millennia!

Starlight Glimmer, Irelanders and Trixie: [groan]

[Later, the group are still walking towards the changeling

Discord: Oh, I don't know how any of you manage not being able to disappear and reappear whenever you want!

Trixie: Well, I, for one, definitely miss you being able to disappear!

Starlight Glimmer: Give Discord a break. None of us knew we weren't going to be able to use magic.

Thorax: I did.

Ono: Well, obviously, you're a changeling.

Baloo: Yep. So how are we gonna make sure we don't get switched with changelings?

Starlight Glimmer: If we get separated, it might make sense to have a way to make sure we are who we say we are.

Discord: Oh! Like a secret code! How about if I say "we are" and you say "doomed"? Or you say "rescue" and I say... [flails]

[Discord trips over a rock and fall flat on the ground]

Trixie: How about if we say "klutzy" and you say "draconequus"?

Starlight Glimmer: "Klutzy draconequus". Works for me.

Thorax: I'll definitely remember it.

Connor Lacey: Me too.

[Discord looks annoyed by this code word. Changeling guards with armor stood at the front gate. The group peeks out from behind a rock. Thorax taps Starlight and lead the group into the hive, using Discord as a bridge. They look around the place with a fearful look on their faces]

Trixie: Okay. I am definitely glad you came. I don't think we'd be able to find our way without you.

Thorax: You definitely wouldn't.

Koki: And we're grateful for that.

[Then the entrance closed behind the group]

Trixie: Um, where's the way out?

Thorax: It's a changeling hive. It shifts and changes like we do, and we're the only ones who can navigate it. It's total chaos to non-changelings.

[They went through another tunnel and Discord pull his tail in as the tunnel closes behind him]

Discord: Well, it's decent chaos. I don't know if I'd call it "total".

Iago: You wanna not hold up traffic? I wanna get in, get out and go home. Actually, I wouldn't mind skipping right to the "go home."

Fuli: Well, we're not leaving without our friends.

Rico: (mumbles and babbles in agreement)

Jimmy Z: What'd he say?

Skipper: He said that he agrees with the cheetah girl.

[The group walks on through the castle]

Discord: Are we sure that I'll get my magic back when we destroy this throne thingy?

Starlight Glimmer: If Thorax is right, then yes.

Discord: [sarcastic] Well, that's reassuring.

Trixie: And how are we supposed to destroy the throne when we find it?

Starlight Glimmer: I... don't know.

Trixie: [sarcastic] That's reassuring.

[Then she heard some rustling and she turns to see Discord looking through her saddlebags while tossing out her supplies aside]

Discord: I don't suppose you brought any throne-destroying tools along with these useless sideshow props.

Trixie: Asks the Lord of Chaos who can't go for a walk without whining nonstop!

Discord: Yes, but when the throne is destroyed, I'll be able to rip the very fabric of reality to save our friends, while you'll still be a self-absorbed, below-average illusionist!

Trixie: Self-absorbed?! Why, you...!

[Starlight get between the two of them and push them aside]

Starlight Glimmer: Cut. It. Out! I'm just barely keeping it together, and it would be wonderful if you two could actually try to help instead of bickering like foals!

Connor Lacey: Yeah, she's right you two. We need to cooperate on this one.

Aviva Corcovado: Yes, so stop bickering and start helping.

Discord: [defeated] Okay.

Trixie: How can we help?

Starlight Glimmer: Don't ask me! I couldn't even handle giving advice at the Sunset Festival, and I had magic then! And the three of us are as good as useless! At least Thorax knows where we're going.

Thorax: Um, guys? I think we're lost.

[They came across a labyrinth which has a lot of tunnels]

Ash Ketchum: Whoa. That's a lot of tunnels.

Trixie: Oh, great. We might as well just sit here and wait for the changelings to soak up all of our love or whatever gross thing it is that they do. How often do you all get hungry?

Thorax: Actually, I haven't been since I met Spike. And changelings are always hungry. We can never get enough love.

Trixie: Well, that's just super—

[Starlight put a hoof to Trixie's muzzle to silence her]

Starlight Glimmer: But you aren't hungry at all now?

Thorax: Huh. Once I made a few friends, I guess I just sort of forgot about the whole feeding thing.

Starlight Glimmer: Is that about the same time your wings changed?

Thorax: I guess so.

Connor Lacey: Whoa. This is really fascinatingly.

Discord: [yawns] While I would love to sit around chitchatting about feeding and not feeding, [echoing] I have a Fluttershy to save! [echoes]

[Discord's shouting echoes through the large area, alerting the changelings to their position]

Trixie: [hushed] Can you please lower your voice?! You're gonna get us all captured!

Discord: Oh, you keep saying that, but I haven't seen an actual changeling since we got into this hive.

[But then he heard a buzzing noise]

Trixie: W-What's that?

Thorax: A changeling patrol!

[The group turn to a tunnel where the buzzing is coming from. The changelings look around for intruders. Thorax starts hyperventilating at this and Starlight put a hoof in his back to calm him down]

Discord: This seems like one of those moments where we need a plan.

Trixie: What kind of plan?! We have no magic, and it's not like my illusions are gonna save us!

[That gives Starlight an idea]

Starlight Glimmer: Do you have any of your smoke bombs?

Trixie: Are you kidding?

Skipper: Do I feel a plan coming on?

Connor Lacey: Yes, Skipper. You do.

[The Changeling patrol flies down the tunnel towards Trixie]

Thorax: Looking for somepony?

[She throws a smokebomb to the ground and disappears, much to the changelings' confusion]

Thorax: Is that the best you've got?! [laughing]

[The changelings chase after Trixie, who throws another smokebomb to make herself disappear again. The changelings chase after her down the tunnel while two of them diverts into another one. Starlight, Discord and the Irelanders look down from a hole above it]

Discord: Not exactly great and powerful, but effective.

Trixie: Hm. I'll take it.

[The other Trixie, who is Thorax disguised as Trixie to create a distraction, walk up to the group who edged away, unsure if she's Thorax or not]

Starlight Glimmer: "Klutzy"...

Trixie and Thorax: ..."draconequus"!

[Thorax changes back to his own form]

Discord: Ugh. I really think we need a new code word!

Iago: What's wrong with the one we already have?

Discord: It's very insulting. I'm not klutzy.

Connor Lacey: But it is a good code word.

Thorax: That was a pretty good plan.

Trixie: But we still don't know where we're going.

Starlight Glimmer: Actually, we might. Two of the changelings didn't go with the rest.

[Thorax hoof-palms his head, remembering something]

Thorax: Oh! With an intruder in the hive, they went to protect the queen! Good thinking, Starlight!

Starlight Glimmer: [embarrassed laugh]

[The group walk up some stairs and look over the top to see changeling guards guarding Chrysalis' chamber]

Trixie: Now what?

Starlight Glimmer: We... go in.

Thorax: Even if I wanted to, there's no way past the guards. We'll be spotted for sure.

Bunga: Wait. I may have an idea.

Connor (Thomas & Friends): What is it?

Bunga: I can use my stink to distract those Changelings so that we can get past them.

Vixen: And then what?

Bunga: Well, we can rescue our friends in no time.

Connor Lacey: Bunga, I'm not sure that could possibly work.

Violet Parr: Yes. It'II expose me when I'm invisible.

Fox: And that could result in us getting caught and won't be able to rescue our friends.

Bunga: Oh.

Mike Waowski: Anyone else have any more bright ideas?

Starlight Glimmer: We need some kind of... distraction.

[Trixie reaches into her saddlebag for more smokebombs but there's none left]

Trixie: I'm fresh out of smoke bombs.

Sulley: Great.

Norman Price: So what's Plan B to get past those changelings?

Connor Lacey: I have a idea. Live bait.

Norman Price: (in Timon's voice) Good idea. (realizing that Connor's referring to him and Spud) Oh no, there's no way I'm gonna be distracting those love hoggers.

Connor Lacey: (in Simba's voice) Come on, Norman. You guys have to create a diversion.

Spud the Scarecrow: (shudders) I don't want to be a changeling snack!

Chris Kratt: Well, they only feed on love so you won't become their snack.

Martin Kratt: Yes. So nothing to worry about.

Iago: You won't get me out there facing those bug winged creatures.

Maisie Lockwood: Me neither. I'm scared.

Discord: Normally, I'm the most distracting thing I can think of, but without magic...

Starlight Glimmer: You shouldn't underestimate yourself.

[Discord looks curiously at her idea. The changelings are guarding the chamber when Discord, Iago, Norman and Spud approach them. Discord's holding a microphone in his eagle claw]

Discord: [taps microphone] Hello, changelings and changelettes! Believe me, I was just as surprised as you are that I'm here! When I heard that I'd be playing for a bunch of changelings, I was beside myself! Then I realized, it was just one of you.

[The changelings snarls at Discord, Iago, Norman and Spud]

Discord: [nervous laugh] But, seriously, this isn't the toughest crowd I've ever been in front of. But it's definitely the easiest to bug!

[The changelings look confused at this bug pun in the joke]

Discord: "To bug"? Is this thing on? [taps microphone]

[As the changelings advance on Discord, Iago, Norman and Spud, Starlight tip-toed to the door, open it and lead Trixie, Thorax, Connor and his friends inside the chamber]

Iago, Guys, we're in trouble here.

Norman Price: Yep. Um, I know.

[He whispers something in Spud's ear]

Spud the Scarecrow: Oh, OK then.

[Norman puts on a hula dress while Spud got an apple in his mouth]

Discord: What are you two doing?!

Norman Price: Connor said we have to create a diversion. And a diversion is what we're going to do.

[They start dancing to Discord and Iago's shock]

Norman Price: Lu'au!

If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat Eat my buddy Spuddy here because he is a treat

Come on down and dine On this tasty swine All you have to do is get in line

Aaaare you achin' Spud the Scarecrow: Yup, yup, yup Norman Price: Foooor some bacon? Spud the Scarecrow: Yup, yup, yup Norman Price: Heeee's a big pig Spud the Scarecrow: Yup, yup Norman Price: You could be a big pig too. Boy!

[The diversion makes the changelings snarls at the four]

Iago: Uh-oh.

Discord: Well, if you think that you can do any better, be my guest!

[He throws the microphone to the ground and sped off with Iago, Norman and Spud with the changelings chasing them. Starlight, Connor and the others see this from behind the door]

Trixie: It is absolutely ridiculous that that worked.

[Discord, Norman, Spud and Iago ran into a nursery hive and hide. The changelings flew past them and out of sight]

Spud the Scarecrow: Phew. that was close.

Iago: Indeed, what were you two thinking?!

Norman Price: We were only creating a diversion by using Timon and Pumbaa's hula dance.

Spud the Scarecrow: Yeah. So why are you so shocked about it?

Iago: Because it's the stupidest thing that you two have ever come up with!

Norman Price: Sorry but it was the only diversion we can come up so shut your beak!

[Timon pauses the adventure]

Timon: It's a bit embarrassing for those two to use our hula dance in this adventure. I would have skip it if I should have known it's in it just like we did in our perception of The Irelanders' Adventures of the Lion King.

Pumbaa: I know. At least we see that our friends can try it out.

[Maisie Lockwood appears]

Maisie Lockwood: Guys, we need to get on with the adventure here.

Timon: Alright, I heard ya. Hopefully Bunga has luck with his bravery.

[He use the remote to unpause the adventure and Discord causally walk out of his hiding place with Norman, Spud and Iago following him]

Discord: It is certainly a pleasure to have such dedicated fans. I'll have to come back with some new material after I rescue Fluttershy.

[They're about to walk back to the others when they hear a familiar crying sound coming from a chamber nearby]

Fluttershy: [whimpers] Please, help! [whimpers]

[They follow the sound into the chamber and find Fluttershy crying with her tail trapped by a rock]

Discord: Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: Discord! Iago! Norman! Spud! I'm stuck!

Discord: You certainly are. And I should probably help you get free. But... oh-ho-ho-ho-ho...

[He stop himself and wags his finger, suspecting that it's a changeling disguised as Fluttershy]

Fluttershy: But what?

Discord: But you are obviously not Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: Oh.

Norman Price: You're trying to lure us into a trap!

Discord: I mean, We're separated from the group and just happen to come across the one pony I care most about? We can smell this setup a mile away.

Iago: Yeah. We're not falling for any of your tricks.

Fluttershy: [sniffs, crying] No. You're right. There's no way you should trust me. Just go find the others. [wailing] I understand!

Discord: Oh, come on!

[Then they hear more crying and they saw lots of Fluttershys crying. Discord looks shocked at this]

Spud the Scarecrow: Which one's the real Fluttershy?

Norman Price: I don't know.

Iago: How are we supposed to tell the difference, they all look the same.

Fluttershy #1: We're probably all changelings. You shouldn't rescue any of us. Unless, you think, maybe one of us might be the real Fluttershy. Oh, that certainly would be a nasty changeling trick, wouldn't it?

Fluttershys: [crying]

Fluttershy #2: I'm the real one.

Fluttershy #3: I'm the real one.

Fluttershy #4: I'm the real Fluttershy.

[Discord begins to doubt himself heavily now. Meanwhile, Connor, Starlight and their friends are waiting]

Thorax: We can't wait for Discord, Iago, Norman and Spud. Between seeing them and Trixie, the castle will be crawling with guards soon.

Starlight Glimmer: But if we do manage to destroy Chrysalis' throne, we'll need him. He could take on the entire changeling army by sneezing if he wanted to.

Connor Lacey: (remembering Three's a Crowd events) Yes. I remember when he's pretending to be all blue with sickness to test Twilight if she's his friend.
