Transcripts/Winter Wrap Up

[crickets]

Spike: [snore]

Twilight Sparkle: [gasp] Spike, wake up. Wake up, wake up, it's Winter Wrap Up day!

Spike: Huh? Mommy?

Twilight Sparkle: Winter Wrap Up!

Spike: You're not mommy.

Twilight Sparkle: Spike, the first day of spring is tomorrow, so every pony in Ponyville needs to clean up winter. Now help me get ready.

Spike: Clean up winter? Who cleans up winter? Don't they just use magic to change the seasons like they do in Canterlot?

Twilight Sparkle: No Spike, Ponyville was started by earth ponies, so for hundreds of years they've never used magic to clean up winter. It's traditional. [sigh]

Spike: It's ridiculous. No magic... Fuh.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay, let's see: scarf, check; saddle, check; boots, check; Spike refusing to get up and going back to sleep, check. It's a good thing I'm so oragnized, I'm ready. Bright and early. Oh... maybe a little too early.

[ theme song ]

Twilight Sparkle: Those must be the team vests Rarity designed. Blue for the weather team, green for the plant team, and tan for the animal team. I wonder which team vest I'll be wearing.

Spike: I'll take a blue vest, same color as my blanket, which I think I hear calling my name. "Spike! Spike! Come to bed!" Ugh, it's too early.

Mayor: Thank you everypony, for being here bright and early. We need every single pony's help to wrap up winter, and bring in spring.

[Ponies cheer]

Mayor: Now, all of you have your vests, and have been assigned to your teams, so let's do even better than last year, and have the quickest Winter Wrap Up ever!

[Ponies cheer]

Daisy: Alright!

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, this is so exciting.

Mayor: Alright everypony, find your team leader, and let's get galloping!

Twilight Sparkle: Gosh, where should I go? I'm not sure where I fit in. What exactly does everypony do?

[ Winter Wrap Up song ]

Twilight Sparkle: Everypony belongs to a team, what should I do? Where should I go?

Rainbow Dash: Alright team, you're clear for takeoff.

Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash!

Rainbow Dash: Oh, hey Twilight, what's up?

Twilight Sparkle: What are you doing?

Rainbow Dash: Sending off one of my flight crews to retrieve the birds that have flown south for the winter.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, can I help? How about if I help clear out the clouds?

Rainbow Dash: Um...

Twilight Sparkle: Right. No wings.

Rainbow Dash: Sorry Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasp] Great, now what do we do?

Spike: I don't know about you, but I'm gonna be nappin'. [snore]

Twilight Sparkle: Come on Spike, this is serious business. Winter needs to be wrapped up, and I'm determined to do my part. Somehow.

Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, please tell me there's something, anything I can help you with.

Rarity: Well, how would you like to help create Ponyville's finest birds' nests?

Twilight Sparkle: Birds' nests?

Rarity: Why yes. When the weather team guides the birds back north for the spring, they'll need a place to live and lay their eggs.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow Rarity, that one's really beautiful.

Rarity: Oh why, thank you most sincerely. Would you like to try your hoof at a nest?

Twilight Sparkle: Would I? Yes! Where do I begin?

Rarity: Okay. Now... uh, take some of that straw and hay over there, and a little bit of branch. Now, weave them through there, yes. Uh, take some ribbon, yes, oh uh, n... not there, oooh, yes, uh, tuck it in over there, uh but be careful not to... I don't know I guess that would do... oh dear.

Twilight Sparkle: There! It looks just like... yours. Oh my.

Spike: That nest needs to be condemned.

Rarity: Oh, Spa-ha-hike, it's not so bad, ah, maybe birds can use it as a...

Spike: An outhouse?

Rarity: Spike. It's just fine. It's just a little rough around the edges. Let me lend you a hoof. Let's just untie this ribbon, and let me take out these sticks here, we'll shave this, [mumbling]

Twilight Sparkle: Hw...

Spike: I think we lost her.

Rarity: Ah, and we need to weave the string...

Pinkie Pie: Helooooooo Twilight! Wheeeeeeee!

Twilight Sparkle: Wow Pinkie Pie, you're quite the skater. Probably the best skater I've ever seen.

Pinkie Pie: Thanks Twilight, I've been doing this since I was an itty bitty little widdle twinkie Pinkie. Just comes natural. Which is probably why they designated me the lake scorer. I cut lines in the lakes with my skates. That way, when the rest of the weather team comes here to break the ice, it'll be easy as pie.

Twilight Sparkle: How clever. When the thick ice begins to melt, it'll break along the lines. Well you sure have a lot of work ahead of you, there's quite a few lakes in Ponyville.

Pinkie Pie: Ha, tell me about it. Hey, Twilight, wanna help me out?

Twilight Sparkle: Would I?

Pinkie Pie: Come on, put on those skates over there. I bet you'll be a natural too.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay.

Pinkie Pie: Yaaaaay! [cheers]

Twilight Sparkle: Uh... maybe on second thought.

Spike: What are you talking about? You said you wanted to be helpful.

Pinkie Pie: Yippie!

Spike: Now get out there.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh no, whoa, wow...

Pinkie Pie: Twilight, steer! Steer!

Twilight Sparkle: Yaaaaa!

Pinkie Pie: Oh boy...

[screams]

Spike: Pwuh.

Pinkie Pie: [blips]

Spike: Ha ha, you are a natural, Twilight. A natural disastar. [laughter]

Pinkie Pie: Twilight, you did a great job your first time around. I'm sure my first time was just as wobbly and bobbly and crashiriffic as yours.

Twilight Sparkle: Really?

Pinkie Pie: No.

Spike: [chuckles]

Pinkie Pie: But did I make you feel better?

Twilight Sparkle: Mm-hmm, yeah, I guess.

Pinkie Pie: I think you'll be super awesome at something that keeps your hoofs on the ground. I know, Fluttershy could probably use your help with the critters.

Twilight Sparkle: Well... I'm pretty good with little animals. Yeah, I'll go help her.

Pinkie Pie: Uh... it's, ah, that a-way.

Twilight Sparkle: Yaaaaaa!

Spike: [chuckles]
