Watch where you're going!!!
Warning: Ancillary characters may be closer than they appear.
Sunset Shimmer, here is your antagonist!
"I'm sorry. I didn't see you come in."
"I've been here for a while."
"I've been trying to get your attention for, like, half the song."
"Yeah. And we know some pretty shy people. Am I right?"
"President of the Yearbook Committee and editor-in-chief."
"Do you want to join? We could always use extra help."
"I've been on the Yearbook Committee all year."
"We met in ninth-grade English."
"...saying it was nice to meet you then."
"You didn't let me finish."
To be fair... it probably wasn't her...
"Anyway, I counted up all the votes for the yearbook Superlatives."
"Ooh! We won 'Best Friends'!"
"Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle..."
"I always knew I liked you all..."
"...but now it's official!"
"Oh, good for Micro Chips."
"'Most Likely to Invent Cold Fusion'."
"Not a reason to be jealous. Pfft!"
"We know you're a genius."
"Besides, it's just the yearbook."
"Now ya gone and done it!"
"The student body has entrusted me..."
"...with the responsibility of gathering their memories into the pages of this book."
"In thirty years, we might not remember everything..."
"...but we will remember what's in the yearbook."
"Well, I'm entrusting you not to put us next to 'Best Muscles'."
"Every time you close the book, it'll be like we're kissing Bulk Biceps!"
"Oh. Uh, why don't we take our picture at the beach on Saturday?"
"Everyone's bound to look adorable."
"I'll make my world-famous fun-in-the-sun cupcakes!"
"The secret ingredient is edible sunscreen!"
"Dear Princess Twilight, this is gonna sound crazy, but... are we friends?"
Twilight: "Of course we're friends!"
Twilight: "Are you okay? What's going on?"
"Might be easier in person."
"Well, not 'person', so to speak..."
"Aah! Oops! I was trying to hug you."
"So, what's been happening?"
"This is bad, Sunset. It's way beyond..."
"...anything I've ever heard of. Although..."
"But you might not like it."
"I'll do anything to get my friends back, Twilight."
"There is one pony who might be able to help..."
"...but I don't know if you two want to see each other."
"Sooo, Princess Celestia..."
"...you'll never guess who's back! Actually, maybe you can guess, 'cause she's right here."
"Am I helping?" (No, you're not, Twilight)
"I wouldn't have said it that way."
"What Sunset means to say is--"
"I mean that I come before you a changed pony..."
"...humbly asking for forgiveness, guidance and knowledge."
"Or I can just go, and you never have to see me again."
"I've missed you, Sunset Shimmer."
There it is! The long-awaited reunion we've all been hoping for has finally happened! 😁
"I am not familiar with the exact spell that could have erased your friends' memories."
"But it sounds like Equestrian magic is at work in your world."
"Hmm, indeed. The toilings of this nefarious enchantment..."
[Sunset struggling not to laugh]
"...could portend unimaginable catastrophe if left unchecked."
Pull yourself together, Sunset
"I'm just used to hearing you say no student parking in the faculty lot. Heh-heh."
"This 'faculty lot' you speak of sounds like a place of great power."
"The answers you seek are in the Canterlot Library."
Is that who I think it is?
Of course those two books would be the classic unlocking mechanism!
Close your mouth, Twilight. We are not a codfish.
Oh, can that mouth get any bigger?
Celestia: Memo to me, fire the librarian.
Most adorkable smile ever.
Just let it go ladies, Twilight's adorkableness can't be understood!
"I don't want your lunch money!"
Trixie: "You really want to do this here, in the hallway, in front of everyone?"
"Canterlot High School's greatest and powerfullest..."
"If a seven-scale mock-up doesn't convince you..."
"...I don't know what will."
"Where's the Memory Stone? You turned my friends against me..."
"...just because I wouldn't put you in the yearbook..."
"...as the greatest and "powerfullest"?"
[Grunts]
"Powerfullest" isn't even a word!"
"What are you talking about?"
"The one you used to erase everyone's memories..."
"...you manipulative... blowhard!"
"A stone that could make everyone forget..."
"...all the bad tricks I've done?"
"Your puny rock pales in comparison to..."
"...the Great and Powerful Trixie!"
"I don't believe it. You have no idea what I'm talking about."
"Did somebody really erase everyone's memories of you?"
"And even though we all know you're..."
"... the "biggest meanie"..."
"...you're saying you're not mean anymore?"
Trixie: "So you have this..."
"...idea of who you're supposed to be, but no one at school..."
"I can't believe the only person who believes me is..."
"...the one I called a manipulative blowhard."
"Sorry."
Trixie: "I took it as a compliment."
"Let me help you find the Stone."
"No way, absolutely not!"
"Well, if you'd rather go on being the biggest meanie..."
Trixie's your friend, Sunset. Give her a chance.
♫ You don't see me fitting in ♫
♫ I'm sitting here alone ♫
♫ Right beside my shadow ♫
♫ I'm more than just a wallflower ♫
♫ There's so much more to me ♫
♫ A droplet in the mist ♫
♫ It's like I don't exist ♫
♫ Right beneath my picture ♫
♫ This is what you'll read ♫
♫ A laundry list of nothings ♫
♫ Not likely to succeed ♫
♫ A yearbook of blank pages ♫
♫ That no one wants to sign ♫
♫ Until the end of time ♫
Hey! Do you know how RUDE it is to try and steal from someone while they're singing?
Sunset: "Wallflower, stop!"
Wallflower: "You remember my name?"
"The memory stone... how I acted... all of it!"
"I erased the whole afternoon!"
...I shouldn't have said that.
"Listen, I used to be just like you."
"Sure, I was popular, but..."
"You're nothing like me."
"And I'm not lonely because I have..."
"That sounded less lonely in my head."
Sunset: "I'm sorry, Wallflower.
Wallflower: "No, you're not. You're just trying to look good in front of your friends. ...AND IT'S WORKING!"
"How am I supposed to get back at you if..."
"I wanted to teach you a lesson..."
"By erasing your friends' good memories of you."
"...But obviously, that didn't work."
"What if I erased all their memories..."
"You'd be stealing their memories of each other!"
"They'll think of each other the way you think of me."
"I've ruined their friendship once before."
"I'd rather give up my own memories than let it happen again."
