Transcripts/Meet Potion Nova!; Pony Surfin' Safari

[theme song]

Meet Potion Nova!

Mane Six: [sigh]

[slide whistle]

Fluttershy: Oof! Um...

Applejack: Welp... not much goin' on today.

Twilight Sparkle: What happened to us?! We used to go on adventures! Fight evil! Regale each other with lore!

Pinkie Pie: Hmm... Lately, it does seem like we get into less adventures and more... comedic situations.

Twilight Sparkle: If only something magic would happen...

[vacuum cleaner whirring]

Rarity: Well, darlings, if you insist, I will sing an aria that I just happened to have prepared.

Me, me, me, all about me!

Me, me, me—!

[door opens]

Rarity: [yelps]

[angelic music]

Applejack: Guh!

Fluttershy: [yells]

Rarity: Guh!

Pinkie Pie: Geh!

Twilight Sparkle: She's... She's amazing!

Potion Nova: [yelps, grunts] Can't a pony enter a room without whipping up a cloud of magic? Oh, heya, there! What's shakin'?

[rattling]

Twilight Sparkle: Me! With excitement!

Pinkie Pie: Hello! May I offer some special help to a clearly special customer? A cupcake, mayhaps?

Potion Nova: Yeah, I need some help. But not with the cupcake.

Pinkie Pie: Don't see how that's possible. But go on.

Twilight Sparkle: Who are you?

Potion Nova: [dramatically and echoing] I... am Potion Nova.

[thunder]

Potion Nova: Oh. [clears throat] I'm Potion Nova! The potionista behind all your silliest potions!

Twilight Sparkle: You're the potion maker?!

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy: [groan]

Potion Nova: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [giggles] Anyways, I need you—

Twilight Sparkle: Y... Y... You?!

[shatter!]

[vacuum cleaner whirring]

Applejack: Welp. We lost Twilight.

Fluttershy: Oh! No more potions?!

Pinkie Pie: What happened?

Potion Nova: Every potion uses the same base. Sourced direct from the Potion Ocean. But the problem is... I've totally run out. So I've come to ask you.

Twilight Sparkle: Say, have you ever considered... oh, I don't know... taking on an apprentice?

Rest of Mane Six: Ooh.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, no, I dropped my resume! I'm so embarrassed! And also qualified.

Potion Nova: Um... you good?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh. Yes. Sorry. It's just... I've been wanting to meet you forever!

Potion Nova: Me? Oh, [scoffs] Listen, I'm just a simple unicorn with a refrigerator company and a dream.

Twilight Sparkle: And really amazing magical potions!

Potion Nova: Not if you six don't help me make it to the Potion Ocean.

Twilight Sparkle: I knew it! I knew we were going on an adventure! Time to get the gang back together!

[beat]

Pinkie Pie: 'Kay. We're back together.

Twilight Sparkle: Then let's go!

Mane Six: [giggling]

Twilight Sparkle: Look! A magical bridge! I bet we have to answer a riddle from a troll in order to cross! You! Troll! Give me your riddle!

Stranger Pony: I'm not a troll. I'm just trying to cross this bridge, too.

Twilight Sparkle: Or is that part of the riddle, huh? Huh? [laughs]

Potion Nova: It's okay. Come on. Excuse us. Have a good one.

Twilight Sparkle: I've seen this illusion before. Classic trick. The key is to be—

Potion Nova: Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait up a sec!

[whistling]

[splash]

[snarling]

Twilight Sparkle: [nervous laugh]

Mane Six: [grunting, panting]

Twilight Sparkle: This must be some sort of sinister, mystical, shape-shifting world!

Potion Nova: Um... full disclosure. [nervous laugh] Not the best with directions.

[shimmering]

Potion Nova: Hang on! My mane only twitches when something magic's gonna happen!

Twilight Sparkle: This is it!

[poof!]

Twilight Sparkle: Aw.

Potion Nova: You know, not all magic has to be big-explosive-showy. Magic's all around us. Which means it's kind of normal.

[zip!]

Potion Nova: See?

Rest of Mane Six: [laughing]

Fluttershy: Oh, my!

Applejack: The Potion Ocean!

Pinkie Pie: Pretty!

Twilight Sparkle: It's so magical!

Potion Nova: Nice to see it through fresh eyes. Guess I forgot how special it is.

Mane Six: [laughing]

Rarity: [slurps]

[squirting]

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy: [laughing]

Twilight Sparkle: Can I ask you something? If the journey wasn't full of dangerous magic, why did you need us?

Potion Nova: Ha! You joking? I can't lift all this potion myself. Only got four hooves. [giggles]

Twilight Sparkle: You just needed some pack mules?

Potion Nova: Plus, company wasn't bad. And if somepony were... say... to be my apprentice...

Twilight Sparkle: [giggles] Yaaa-ha-hay! Whoo-hooooo!

[fireworks]

Rest of Mane Six: [cheer]

Pony Surfin' Safari

Fluttershy: Hm.

Pinkie Pie: [chomps] Mmm.

Fluttershy: [giggles]

Twilight Sparkle: [yelps]

[poof!]

Potion Nova: Hope you're all enjoying the vacay and fun activities! [giggles] Just stay away from the Cute Triangle! Once you're lost, you're lost forever! Okay, have fun!

[poof!]

Applejack: Time for our first group activity – a bonfire! Uh... [sighs] Well, we can't get started with anypony missin'. Be back in a jiff.

[zip!]

[crab chittering]

Rainbow Dash: Your serve!

Applejack: Hey! We're tryin' to do a group thing back at the fire, and – thing is – you're a part of the group.

Rainbow Dash: [sighs] Bet you can't score while I'm gone!

[pop!]

[air hisses]

Applejack: All righty, where were we? [sighs] What part of "group activity" do we not seem to be gettin' here?!

Rarity: Darlings, tragedy! I can't find my couture sunglasses! Huh?

Applejack: Oh, I-I think I saw 'em by the bonfire.

Rarity: [gasps]

[zip!]

Applejack: [nervous laugh]

Fluttershy: [giggling]

[snip!]

Fluttershy: Huh?

Rarity: [distressed sounds]

Rainbow Dash: [slurping]

Applejack: [groans]

Twilight Sparkle: Um... [groans]

Pinkie Pie: Hmmm... Should I order a cupcake?

Applejack: This isn't Food Fest. It's Fire Fest! Now get your haunches outside with the rest of the crew!

Applejack: [gasps] How the...?! [groans] We're never gonna have a group activity at this rate!

Potion Nova: Oh, don't stress, Applejack.

Applejack: I just don't see the point of vacationin' together if we're not gonna be together.

[shimmering]

Potion Nova: [gasps] My mane! It means something magic's about to happen!

[poof!]

[owl hoots]

[rooster crows]

Mane Six sans Applejack: [snoring]

[door opens]

[upbeat music]

[alarm clock rings]

Applejack: We're burnin' daylight here!

Fluttershy: [yawns] Sleep in...

Twilight Sparkle: [groans]

Pinkie Pie: Huh?

Applejack: We didn't get group time at the bonfire, so I signed us all up for a surfin' safari!

Pinkie Pie: [yawns]

Applejack: Now let's go, go, go!

Rest of Mane Six: [groan]

Twilight Sparkle: Follow me to the caves!

Rarity: Are there any parasols available? My hat and SPF don't seem to be doing the trick.

Applejack: Uh—

Rainbow Dash: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Pinkie Pie: I'm gonna go back for snacks!

Applejack: Everypony, listen up!

[splash]

[zip!]

Applejack: We're havin' a fun day out as a group. No talkin', no snacks, no caves, no distractions! Just fun! Everypony stay in between these three rocks! Nopony allowed outside the boundaries! WE! STICK! TOGETHER!

[whooshing]

Applejack: [yelps]

Mane Six: [scream]

[splash]

Rarity: Ah! Darlings! My sunglasses!

Twilight Sparkle: This must be the Cute Triangle, where everything lost is lost forever!

Fluttershy: Including us?

Applejack: At least we're... together?

Rest of Mane Six: [growl]

Pinkie Pie: [slurping]

Applejack: I got a feelin' I caused this. But I might be able to fix it.

Pinkie Pie: Oh!

Applejack: All right, ponies.

Rest of Mane Six: Huh?

Applejack: It's been a minute, but if we're gonna get out of here, we're gonna have to use some good old-fashioned friendship magic!

[whoosh]

Rainbow Dash: You sure this is gonna work?

Applejack: It always has.

Mane Six: [gasp] Whoa! [scream]

[splash]

Mane Six: Whoa!

Pinkie Pie: Whoo-hoo!

Rainbow Dash: We did it!

Rarity: I lost my sunglasses!

Applejack: Welp, gotta admit. Your mane was right. We got caught in the magic of the Cute Triangle.

Potion Nova: Oh, yeah? Well, I had something really magical happen. I guessed how many gumballs were in the gumball machine at the beach bodega.

Twilight Sparkle: And you won?

Potion Nova: Nope. I was totally off. [giggles] But I was the only one who entered, so they gave it to me anyway!

Applejack: That's...

Fluttershy: Wow.

Applejack: ...incredible.

Potion Nova: I have so many gumballs! More than I ever could've guessed!

Mane Six and Potion Nova: [laugh]
