applejack:

"and that's when the yellow

birdie thought to himself,

"'hmm.

my favorite little tree

"isn't such

a little tree anymore.'

"so she sang her song

big and strong,

"and they all lived

in that great, big tree

"happily ever after.

the end."

applejack!

were you reading

a bedtime story to...

an apple tree?

[ chuckles ]

uh...

well, you know, being replanted

in a whole new place

is very upsetting

for a tree.

and bloomberg here

is one of my favorites.

no fair, applejack!

you've got a luxurious private

sleeper car for a tree,

while i am crowded and cramped

in the same car

with all the other ponies.

how am i supposed to get

my beauty sleep?!

but bloomberg's the whole reason

we're making this trip.

he needs his rest

so we can give him as a gift

to my relatives

in appaloosa.

hmm!

you talk about it as if

it's your baby or something.

who you calling a baby?

bloomberg's no baby!

don't let widdle rarity

make you all saddy-waddy.

bloomberg's

a big and strong apple tree.

yes, he is.

a-coochie-coochie,

coo-coo-coo!

it's widdle rarity

who's all saddy-waddy!

ugh!

[ indistinct conversations ]

oh, man!

we're going fast!

oh, my gosh!

this is so exciting!

i can't even wait!

[ sighs ]

for crying out loud

in the morning!

i can't wait!

yeah!

[ groans ]

do you guys mind?

i was up early

fire-roasting those snacks

you're all eating,

and i'm pooped!

uh, speaking of --

some of these popcorn kernels

didn't get popped.

okay, fine.

[ whoosh! ]

[ pop! ]

good night!

uh...

maybe it's time we all got

a little shut-eye.

we've got a big day

ahead of us tomorrow.

[ squeak! ]

aww! aww!

aww! aww!

[ snoring, mumbling ]

rainbow dash: psst!

pinkie pie, you asleep yet?

pinkie pie:

no. are you asleep yet?

if i was sleeping,

how could i have asked you

if you were asleep?

oh, yeah.

[ giggles ]

when we get to appaloosa,

you think we'll have to carry

that heavy tree

all the way from the train

to the orchard?

what tree?

you mean bloomberg?

[ sarcastically ]

no. fluttershy.

fluttershy's not a tree,

silly!

what's going on?

rainbow dash

thinks fluttershy's a tree.

i do not think she's a tree.

i was just --

did you say

she was a tree?

no!

well, yes,

but not exactly.

you know she's not a tree,

right?

she's not a tree,

dashy.

i'd like to be a tree.

oh, for pete's sake!

[ boing! ]

[ footsteps depart quickly ]

[ door creaks, slams ]

well,

that was kind of huffy.

huffy the magic dragon.

[ both giggle ]

[ all giggling ]

would you all

be quiet now?!

aaah! aaah!

aaah! aaah!

[ all blow ]

bloomberg?

bloomberg?

[ grunts ]

sorry, but i tend to snore

a bit.

good night.

[ sighs ]

[ birds chirping ]

[ hoofbeats rumble,

tracks clacking ]

[ all snoring,

rumbling continues ]

[ thud! ]

huh?

who gets what now?

huh?

[ sloop! sloop! sloop! ]

[ all gasp ]

a buffalo stampede!

oh, wow!

so noble,

all of them together.

rarity: i just love

their accessories.

they're getting awfully close

to the train.

aah! aah!

aah! aah!

[ all shouting indistinctly ]

[ snoring ]

[ creak! ]

[ squeak! ]

[ tweet! ]

ooh! looky!

now they're doing tricks!

ooh! ooh! ooh!

now do a back flip!

[ thud! ]

or just jump?

hmm.

something tells me

this isn't a circus act.

hey, there!

[ gasps ]

where you headed

in such a hurry?

[ grunts ]

wow.

you're pretty quick

for someone so...bulky.

no offense.

huh?

i just want to know --

hey!

i'm talking to you!

[ whirl! whirl! whirl! ]

whoa!

[ grunts ]

[ screech! ]

i've got you now, you --

[ thud! twang! ]

[ zip! ]

[ groans ]

[ whistles ]

[ applejack gasps ]

they've got bloomberg!

he-e-e-e-lp!

and spike!

[ groans ]

spike: he-e-e-e-lp!

dragon-napping spike.

i'll show her!

[ twang! ]

ow.

[ brakes screech, steam hisses ]

[ all panting ]

hey, there!

welcome to a-a-appaloosa!

braeburn, listen --

cousin applejack,

mind your manners.

you have yet to introduce me

to your compadres.

shame on you!

braeburn, listen!

something terrible's happened!

"terrible" is right.

your train is a full

seven minutes late.

that's seven minutes less

for you to delight

in the pleasures and wonders

of a-a-appaloosa!

[ all grunt ]

boggles the mind we

settler ponies built all this

in just the past year,

don't it?

and as you can see, we have

all of the finest comforts.

like horse-drawn

carriages.

okay.

you pull now.

aw, we just switched.

and those there are horse-drawn

horse-drawn carriages.

listen, braeburn,

i -- oof!

and here's our local

watering hole, the salt block.

pony:

that's enough salt for you!

can't i at least get

a glass of water?

over there's the office

of sheriff silverstar.

and here's where we have

our wild west dances.

and here's where we have

our mild west dances.

but, braeburn, we --

and here's

the most wonderful sight

in all of a-a-appaloosa --

our apple orchard.

braeburn!

first harvest

should be any day now.

brae--

'cause we need

that grub to live on.

braeburn!!

uh, yes, cuz?

you have a very nice town

and all,

but we have

a huge problem!

some of our friends

are missing.

a stampede of buffalo.

they took spike!

rainbow dash

went after them!

and we can't find

pinkie pie.

and we had an apple tree with us

for your orchard,

but they took that, too!

did you say buffalo?

[ sighs ]

them buffalo,

they want us settler ponies

to take every single tree

you see here off this land.

they sure as hay don't want

any new ones added in.

but why?

beats me.

we put a lot of hard work

into this land

so we could feed our town,

our families, our foals,

and now they're saying

all these trees have to go?

t'ain't fair.

[ bird screeches ]

[ sloop! slump! ]

[ pitter! ]

[ sloop! whip! slump! zip! ]

oh, i can't wait to get my

hooves on that little buffalo.

[ twang! ]

ow!

nobody tricks rainbow dash

and gets away with it.

boo!

yah!

pinkie pie!

oh, you caught me.

looks like i tricked you and

didn't get away with it, either.

you're good.

shh!

what do you think

you're doing?!

you got to

get out of here!

i do?

you're gonna blow

my cover!

i am?

i'm trying

to save spike!

oh, my gosh!

so am i!

and the more of us

there are out here,

the more chances

of us getting...

[ rumbling, snorting ]

...caught.

run, pinkie! i'll hold them off!

save yourself!

spike: stop!

dash, pinkie, 'sup?

hey, no worries.

i know those guys.

they're cool.

if you say so, spike.

catch you later, bro.

seems they took me

by mistake,

and they feel awful

about it, too, poor guys.

fortunately,

they totally respect dragons,

so they treat me

like an honored guest.

still don't like ponies much,

though,

ugh!

but you're with me,

so it's cool.

[ scoffs ]

well, i still don't trust them.

i say we turn tail

and bail while we still --

mmm!

[ munching ]

before we finish eating?

are you loco in the coco?

can i please have more

of that mushy stuff,

whatever it was?

certainly.

and, mr. spike,

you like gemstones, yes?

turquoise! mmm!

[ munching, chuckles ]

this here's

little strongheart,

and these are my friends

pinkie pie and rainbow dash.

[ snorts ]

[ poing! ]

you!

you!

that's it!

we are out of here!

[ chuckles nervously ]

ooh!

wait!

please accept my apologies

for what happened on the train.

we didn't mean

for anyone to be hurt.

yeah, right.

we only wanted

the tree.

the settler ponies

have overtaken the land

and have planted an orchard

all over it.

because of

their thoughtlessness,

we can no longer run over our

traditional stampeding grounds.

huh? huh?

i think it's time

they met chief thunderhooves.

we have a long and winding

stampeding trail

that we have run upon

for many generations.

my father stampeded

upon these grounds

and his father before him

and his father before him

[ snoring ]

and his father before him

and his father before him

and --

i think they get the idea,

chief.

hmph.

it is a sacred tradition

to run the path every year,

but this year,

these settler ponies,

these...

[ snorts ]

...appaloosians...

[ snorting ]

they planted apple trees

all over it

without asking

our permission.

well,

that's not very nice.

right,

rainbow dash?

hmph.

the ponies

refused to move their trees,

so we are stuck here,

and it is not fair!

see, rainbow dash?

they had

a good reason to --

[ all gasp ]

i'll say

they had a good reason.

come on.

we have some apple-picking

appaloosians to talk to.

ow!

[ groaning ]

gently, please.

sorry, rarity,

but our friends are out there,

and we have to be

ready for a long hike

into buffalo territory

if we're gonna

save them.

let's go!

[ screech! ]

hi, guys.

pinkie!

[ thud! ]

we're so glad

you're safe.

oh, there you are.

thank goodness.

how did you escape

from the buffalo?

we didn't.

[ all gasp ]

rainbow dash: we promised

the buffalo a chance to talk.

oh, yeah?

about what?

we brought our new pal

little strongheart here

to explain

to the appaloosians

why they should move

the apple trees

off buffalo land.

that information

will be quite help--

that's weird. 'cause

my cousin braeburn here

wants to explain

to the buffalo

why they should let

the apple trees stay.

that would be

a useful thing to --

the land is theirs!

you planted the trees

not knowing that.

honest mistake.

now you just got to move them.

that's all.

well...

[ chuckles ]

they busted

their rumps here.

and now they're supposed to

bust their rumps again

just 'cause some buffalo

won't stampede someplace else?

plant the tree

somewhere else!

where?

it's the only flatland

around these parts.

the buffalo had it first!

the settler ponies

need it to live!

come on, applejack!

i put my hoof down!

you're being unreasonable!

look...

both the settlers

and the buffalo

have good reasons

to use this land.

there must be something

we can do.

hey!

i've got an idea!

you're right on!

it appears

have come to an agreement.

we have.

that was the worst performance

we've ever seen.

abso-tively.

the time for action

is upon us.

our stampede will start

at high noon tomorrow.

and if the orchard

is still there,

we'll flatten it

and the whole town!

[ all gasp ]

but, chief!

and we appaloosians say

you'd better bring your best,

'cause we'll be ready

and waitin'.

but, sheriff...

we've just got to talk

some sense into them

before somepony

gets hurt.

listen, maybe if you would

just reconsider, we --

about the trees --

now, if you could --

[ gasps ]

if we could just sit down

and talk, we could --

[ growls ]

[ gasps ]

why won't anybody

be rational and reasonable?!

sheriff,

if we could only --

[ all cheer ]

[ grunting ]

isn't there some way

to stop this?

unless the settlers

remove those trees,

i do not think so.

[ sighs ]

[ munching ]

i know you don't want to

do this.

but they have taken

our land.

what would you have me do,

rainbow dash?

i don't know.

but it's never too late

to think of something.

at noon,

it will be too late.
