Transcripts/Swarm of the Century

Fluttershy: La, la la, la la, la la, la la. Thank you little squirrel, but remember: these flowers are for Princess Celestia. Only the prettiest ones will do. La, la la, la la, la la, la la.

[offscreen: chirp]

Fluttershy: Gah!

Parasprite: [chirp]

Fluttershy: Hello little guy. I've never seen anything like you before.

Parasprite: [sniff]

Fluttershy: Oh, are you hungry? [gasp] I guess you were hungry.

Parasprite: [purr]

Fluttershy: You're the cutest thing ever. I can't wait to show you to my friends.

[ theme song ]

Twilight Sparkle: Oh! Hurry up Spike! This place isn't gonna clean itself.

Spike: It also didn't mess itself up.

Twilight Sparkle: Princess Celestia will be here tomorrow!

Spike: I thought this was just an unofficial casual visit.

Twilight Sparkle: There's nothing casual about a visit from royalty. I want this place to be spotless, and you barely made a dent in the clutter.

Spike: Maybe you should, ugh, start reading them [groan] one at a time--wooah hoaw! Aw.

Twilight Sparkle: Everything's gotta be perfect. No time for fooling around.

Spike: You know, this would be an awful lot easier if there weren't two of us here, getting under each other's feet.

Twilight Sparkle: Great idea. You clean, I'll go see how everyone else's preparations are coming.

Spike: Maybe I should... [groan]

[ponies chatter]

Twilight Sparkle: What happened to the rest of her name?

Carrot: We couldn't fit it all in.

Twilight Sparkle: You can't hang a banner that says "Welcome Princess Celest". Take it down and try again.

Twilight Sparkle: That looks perfect. Keep up the good work.

Twilight Sparkle: Hello Mr and Mrs Cake. How's the banquet coming?

Mrs Cake: [sigh] It would be coming a little better, ah.

Pinkie Pie: Mmm... [slurp]

Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie! What are you doing? Those sweets are supposed to be for the princess.

Pinkie Pie: Aaaaa... I know. That's why I'm tasting them. Somepony needs to make sure that everything is tasty enough to tosh th' royal thung, and I, Pinkie Pie, declare that these treats are fit for a king, or a queen, or a princess.

Fluttershy: Twilight, Pinkie, you won't believe... oh, I'm sorry. Uh, am I interrupting?

Pinkie Pie: No, not at all. Come on in and make yourself at home. [slurp] What's going on, Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: You won't believe what I found at the edge of the Everfree Forest. Come on out, little guy. It's okay.

Parasprite: [purr] [chirp]

Fluttershy: Three?

Twilight Sparkle: They're amazing. What are they?

Fluttershy: I'm not sure. I'm also not sure where these other two came from.

Twilight Sparkle: I'll take one off your hooves. I've never seen anything so... adorable. Besides, it'll be nice to have a companion for Spike so he won't bother me so much while I'm studying.

Fluttershy: Pinkie, do you want the other one?

Pinkie Pie: UGH! A parasprite? Are you kidding?

Fluttershy: Ugh?

Twilight Sparkle: A para-what?

Fluttershy: How could she not like...

Pinkie Pie: Now I gotta find a trombone.

Twilight Sparkle: A what?

Pinkie Pie: A trombone, you know: [trombone imitation]

Twilight Sparkle: Ahhh, typical Pinkie.

Parasprite: [purr]

Rarity: Stand still, Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash: Ugh, I caaan't, I need to flyyy. This is waaay too boring for me.

Rarity: Do you want to look nice for Princess Celestia or not?

Twilight Sparkle: Wow, Rarity, those outfits are gorgeous.

Rarity: [flattered laughter] Thank you Twilight. Nice to know someone appreciates my talents.

Rainbow Dash: Ugh, sooo boooring.

Parasprites: [chirp]

Rarity: Huh?

Rainbow Dash: What's that sound, Twilight?

Parasprite: [chirp]

Parasprite: [chirp]

Parasprite: [chirp]

Rainbow Dash: Wow, what are they?

Twilight Sparkle: The better question is, where did they come from? I only had one a minute ago.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, I'll take one.

Rarity: Me too, oh, they're perfect.

Pinkie Pie: Does anypony know where I can find an accordion?

Rainbow Dash: [baby noises]

Pinkie Pie: Gals! Hello! This is important. Durgh! Thanks a lot.

Twilight Sparkle: [sigh] The decorations, the banquet, I really hope everything comes together in time for tomorrow.

Spike: [snore]

Parasprite: [baby noises]

Twilight Sparkle: [yawn] What's there to worry about?

Parasprites: [loud baby noises]

Twilight Sparkle: Spike! Wake up! What happened?

Spike: Huh? Whaaa! What's going on?

Parasprite: [chirp]

Twilight Sparkle: Where did they come from?

Spike: I don't know. The little guy got hungry in the night, so I gave him a snack, but... I have no idea where these others came from. Oh no! They're messing up all my hard work!

Twilight Sparkle: The princess will be here in a few hours.

Spike: Ugh.

Twilight Sparkle: Spike, help me round up these little guys.

Spike: Ugh, what does it look like I'm doin'? Ooow, waaah! D'oh. I know, I know, "stop fooling around".

Parasprite: [chirp]

Parasprite: [chirp]

Rainbow Dash: Huh? Huh?! [screech] [grunt] [groan] Get off me! [groan] [grunt] Waaa!

Rarity: Not only are you adorable, but you're also quite useful.

Parasprite: [purr] [grunt]

Rarity: Oh! Are you okay? Aaah! [gasp] Eewww. Aaah! Gross gross gross. No creature that behaves so revoltingly is allowed in my boutique.

Parasprite: [grunt] [pop]

Rarity: [screech]

Pinkie Pie: Look Rarity, Applejack loaned me a harmonica. Isn't that great?

Parasprites: [chirp]

Pinkie Pie: [gasp] And not a moment too soon.

Rarity: Ugh, Pinkie, I'm a little busy right now.

Pinkie Pie: And I'm not? You know how many more instruments I gotta find? A lot, that's how many. Now if we split the list between us, we might just make it in time.

Rarity: Please, Pinkie, I don't have time for some silly scavenger hunt. I've got a real problem.

Pinkie Pie: You've got a real problem alright, and a banjo is the only answer.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasp]

Rarity: [gasp] I see we're having the same problem.

Rainbow Dash: Ditto!

Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy knows everything about animals, I'm sure she can tell us how to stop them from multiplying.

Parasprites: [chirp]

Twilight Sparkle: ...or not.
