Pipp Petals: You're a little pitchy, Zipp. I mean, this is the Zephyr Heights Wishentine Royal Carousel Concert!
Zipp Storm: Ugh! If it takes an hour to say the name, the show's probably gonna last for a week!
Pipp Petals: Even more reason to practice. From the top!
[clattering]
Izzy Moonbow: Just... a little... closer... and I can get these... [gasps]
[clattering]
Izzy Moonbow: ...ornaments!
Kenneth: [chirping]
Hitch Trailblazer: It's from my Grandma Figgy!
McSnipsalot: [clicking]
[birds chirp-laughing]
Hitch Trailblazer: Not "Piggy", you wisecrab. Figgy!
McSnipsalot: [clicking]
Hitch Trailblazer: Very funny. Anyway, Figgy writes, [reading] "My dearest grandcolt..." That's me! "...I can't wait to see you on Winter Wishday. We're gonna have so much fun building the best cookie cottages. Love, your Gran." D'awww! Isn't she the best grandma in the whole world?
Kenneth: [chirping]
Hitch Trailblazer: Oh, you think your grandma's better?
Kenneth: [chirping]
Hitch Trailblazer: That's what I thought.
[chirping and clicking]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [laughing]
[Sunny Starscout]
We whisk you some tasty cookies
We whisk you some frosted goodies
We wish you a yummy Wishday
And a happy New Moon!
[giggles] Okay, okay! If I keep it in any longer, I'm going to explode!
Zipp Storm: Hit the deck, everypony! [laughs]
[birds chirping]
Pipp Petals: What's got you buzzing, Sunny?
Sunny Starscout: Winter Wishday is just around the corner, and of course I can't wait to spend it with all of you! I have the perfect holiday planned for us, and it all ends with my favorite part – exchanging gifts under the Wishing Star! [squeals] There, I said it! [chomps]
Hitch Trailblazer: Uh...
Izzy Moonbow: Ooh...
Sunny Starscout: What?
Hitch Trailblazer: Well, it's just that I promised my Grandma Figgy I'd celebrate Wishday with her. Like we always do.
Izzy Moonbow: And I have to ring in the last night of Wishiehoof in Bridlewood with my hoof-made ornament. It's Jinxie if I miss that!
Pipp Petals: And we have to be home for the...
Zipp Storm: ...Zephyr Heights Wishentine Royal Carousel Concert.
Izzy Moonbow: Whoo-wee, that takes a long time to say.
Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm: Right?!
Hitch Trailblazer: It seems like we've all got conflicting holiday plans.
Sunny Starscout: No! I-I mean, sorry. Yes, we do all have plans, but I think we can still make this happen.
Hitch Trailblazer: But how?
Sunny Starscout: We'll stick together. That's how. We can definitely get to all of our holiday traditions and still make it back here in time to exchange gifts under the Wishing Star.
Pipp Petals: Oh! Love that for us, but Zephyr Heights and Bridlewood are quite the journey.
Izzy Moonbow: And wow! Look at all that floaty snow!
Sunny Starscout: Huh? That's strange. It never snows here in Maretime Bay. Like, ever. Right, Hitch?
Hitch Trailblazer: Nope. But I have been wishing for snow ever since I was little!
Sunny Starscout: Me, too! But how are we going to get to Bridlewood and Zephyr Heights in this?
Izzy Moonbow: Mm-hmm! [giggles] Zipp and I have a surprise for you!
Sunny Starscout: Surprise?
Sparky Sparkeroni: Surprise? [excited babbling]
Izzy Moonbow: It could be the perfect snow-lution to our pickle. [snickers]
Zipp Storm: It was supposed to wait until Wishday, but... oh, all right!
Hitch Trailblazer: So? What is it?
[beat]
Izzy Moonbow: Huh? Oh! Sorry, I zoned out there for a second. Follow me!
Izzy Moonbow: [humming] Ta-daaaa!
Zipp Storm: Okay, so it still needs a little work. But pretty great, right? We've been working on it for weeks.
Pipp Petals: Love it so much! One question though. What is it?
Izzy Moonbow: Well, originally, it was that old, broken tram car I found behind the factory. Then it was a giant art installation. Then Zipp had a brilliant idea to uni-cycle it from art to... moving art!
Zipp Storm: More like flying art!
Izzy Moonbow: Yeah, so now it's that!
Zipp Storm: I just wanted to find a way to show you ponies how awesome it is to fly, too.
Sunny Starscout: No way!
Hitch Trailblazer: Whaaaaat?!
Izzy Moonbow: We can use it to travel to our hometown holiday celebrations and make it back here to the Brighthouse in time to see the Wishing Star together!
[clatter]
Hitch Trailblazer: Pretty cool. But are you sure this thing can fly?
Izzy Moonbow: Hmmm... uhhh... [giggles] We think so! Never know until you try!
Sunny Starscout: What do you call it?
Zipp Storm: No name yet, but I have a few ideas.
Izzy Moonbow: Hmmm... [deep voiced] The Mare Stream! [normally] I mean, that's an option I was thinking of. We totally don't have to use it or whatever.
Pipp Petals: It's perfection!
Zipp Storm: Agree. Now who wants to try it out?
Izzy Moonbow: Wait, wait, wait! Pre-flight check! Could somepony please shine a light?
Zipp Storm: You got it! Thanks for letting me keep an eye on your lantern, Sunny.
Sunny Starscout: I know it's in good hooves with Detective Zipp. Have you discovered anything new about its magic yet?
Zipp Storm: Just that its pris-beam energy is powerful.
Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] Just like our friendship!
Sunny Starscout: Exactly! [squeals] I can't wait to see the Wishing Star with my best friends!
Mane 5: [laugh]
[shimmering sounds]
[bright music]
[whoosh!]
Hitch Trailblazer: Whoa!
Izzy Moonbow: Look at that!
Sunny Starscout: Wow!
Pipp Petals: Amazing!
Zipp Storm: Cool!
Izzy Moonbow: Yeah, I, uh, I guess it works.
Izzy Moonbow: Ooh!
Sunny Starscout: Whoa!
Hitch Trailblazer: Whoa!
Zipp Storm: Whoa!
Pipp Petals: Wow!
Zipp Storm: No way! The lantern is like a magic key for this thing?
Hitch Trailblazer: Whoa!
[chime!]
[whirring]
[exciting music]
[whirring dies down]
Hitch Trailblazer: Do you have to have a driver's license for this vehicle?
Izzy Moonbow: [grunting] Ta-daaa!
Hitch Trailblazer: Yup. Everything checks out here.
Pipp Petals: One, two, three, four, five... Six spots? But there's only five of us.
Zipp Storm: All I know is – the captain's seat? That's for me! Whoa! New theory – holiday magic even stronger than regular magic?
Sunny Starscout: Then it's settled! First thing in the morning, we'll head out to tour Equestria and make it back to the Brighthouse in time to see the Wishing Star! Come on! There's so much to do to get ready!
Pipp Petals: Can't wait!
Zipp Storm: All right!
Izzy Moonbow: Yes!
Hitch Trailblazer: Great plan!
Pipp Petals: What should I pack?
Izzy Moonbow: Cookies.
[upbeat music]
Izzy Moonbow: Mm-mmm.
Sparky Sparkeroni: [laughs]
Zipp Storm: [laughs]
Izzy Moonbow: [exhales, laughs]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbles]
[beep]
[whirring]
Zipp Storm: Thanks, my little co-pilot.
[whirring]
Zipp Storm: Hmm... Yup. Just as I suspected.
Sunny Starscout: What is it?!
Zipp Storm: Still awesome! Everypony, hold onto your hooves! We're going flying! Magic check?
Rest of Mane 5: Check!
Zipp Storm: Door lock check?
Hitch Trailblazer: Check-eroo!
Zipp Storm: Onboard snack check?
Izzy Moonbow: [munching] Mmm! Check!
Zipp Storm: Take off!
[whirring]
[whoosh!]
Zipp Storm: This is your captain speaking. We are at a cruising altitude of... I don't actually know, and traveling at the speed of... magic! The current time is... This thing doesn't have a clock, but it's definitely morning.
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbles]
Zipp Storm: We have an estimated arrival at Grandma Figgy's cottage...
Pipp Petals: Yes!
Zipp Storm: ...at approximately... pretty soon. The seatbelt sign is... Well, we don't have one, but if we did, it would be off and you'd all be free to move around the cabin.
Sunny Starscout: [laughs]
Zipp Storm: Now, for a brief announcement from a member of our flight team.
Izzy Moonbow: Hello, this is your friendly in-flight entertainment coordinator Izzy Moonbow, and I'm here to say that it's time for a good old-fashioned sing-along, okay?!
Pipp Petals: Ooh! Yes! Yes!
Izzy Moonbow: And a-one, and a-two, a one-two-three!
[Izzy Moonbow]
Over the crystals and through the woods
To Grandmare's tree we go
[Sunny and Hitch]
Earth ponies play
[Izzy Moonbow]
It's the best day
[Pipp and Zipp]
Wings know the way
[music stops]
Hitch Trailblazer: What was that?
Pipp Petals: I don't know. I guess we all know the same basic melody at least.
Sunny Starscout: Each pony kind must have a different version of the lyrics!
Pipp Petals: Fun! Okay, let's take it again, but alternate verses this time! Hit it, Sparky!
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbling]
[squeaky toy squeaks]
[Zipp Storm]
Ohhh
[Hitch Trailblazer]
Ohhh
[Pipp Petals]
Ohhh
[Izzy Moonbow]
Ohhh
[Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm]
Over the mountains and through the clouds
[Mane 5]
To Grandmare's house we go
[Pipp Petals]
Earth ponies play
[Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm]
To whinny and neigh
[Mane 5]
Through peppermint candy snow
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh
[Pipp Petals]
When we get closer to Grandmare's house
[Sunny Starscout]
The pretty lights let us know
[Sunny Starscout and Pipp Petals]
And soon we'll see
[Mane 5]
A special pony
Through her icing-frosted windows
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh
[laughing]
Pipp Petals: Peppermint candy snow?
[whirring]
Zipp Storm: [gasps]
[whoosh!]
Rest of Mane 5: [shouting]
Zipp Storm: Eyes on the sky and not on your screens, fillies!
[whoosh!]
Mane 5: Whoa!
[whirring dies down]
Pipp Petals: Zipp!
Zipp Storm: Hey! It's new!
[clank]
Hitch Trailblazer: Trees? Those weren't there before.
Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] They look beautiful!
Hitch Trailblazer: But it doesn't even look like Grandma Figgy's house now.
Rest of Mane 5: [giggling]
Pipp Petals: Oh, my glitter!
Hitch Trailblazer: Wait, everypony!
Sunny Starscout: What is it now, Hitch? We can't waste any time. We're on kind of a tight schedule today.
Hitch Trailblazer: I know, I know. I just wanted to warn you all first. Look, my Grandma Figgy is great. She's probably the best Gran of all time.
Izzy Moonbow: Are you serious? Wow!
Hitch Trailblazer: Yeah, she's the best. But she can be kinda, um, particular about Winter Wishday.
Pipp Petals: Particular how?
Hitch Trailblazer: She likes things to be just so.
Pipp Petals: "Just so" how?
Zipp Storm: You're being just a little vague here.
Hitch Trailblazer: We celebrate Winter Wishday together every single moon the exact same way. Her favorite holiday activity is building cookie cottages with me, and it's always been that way since I was a little foal. It's a big, big deal to her. It's gotta be perfect. So just keep that in mind. That's all.
Sunny Starscout: Oh, that's all? Of course we'll honor her Earth pony traditions, just like she likes.
Pipp Petals: Yeah, silly! We're gonna be great guests!
Izzy Moonbow: Guests who go with the flow! In the snow!
Hitch Trailblazer: Thanks, everypony. I know it'll mean a lot to Grandma Figgy.
[knocking]
Grandma Figgy: Hitchie!
Hitch Trailblazer: Granny!
Grandma Figgy: [laughs]
Hitch Trailblazer: Cheery Wishday!
Grandma Figgy: Oh, it sure is! And what a treat to have Hitchie's friends here, too! Oh! And this little adorable little sweetheart, of course! Oh, come to Granny! [laughs]
Sunny Starscout: [shivering] T-T-Thanks for having us.
Grandma Figgy: Oh, goodness! You must be cold! I haven't seen snow like this since, well... never! Come in! Come in, and we'll warm those hoofsies right up!
[upbeat music]
Grandma Figgy: Who wants some hot cocoa?
Hitch Trailblazer: Ah! Ba, ba, ba, ba! Hold up! Three jumbo marshmallows per mug. No more, no less. Right, Granny?
Grandma Figgy: That's right, Hitchie. Enough to stick out of the top...
Hitch Trailblazer and Grandma Figgy: ...but not enough to overflow! [laughs]
Sunny Starscout: [giggles]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [giggles]
Izzy Moonbow: [slurps, gasps] This is scrumptious!
Pipp Petals: [slurps] Mmm! Super delish! And I love the decorations. So festive.
Grandma Figgy: Oh, thank you, dear.
Hitch Trailblazer: She puts up them up every Wishday. They look exactly the same as when I was a colt. Except for all those trees out front. That's different.
Grandma Figgy: I grew 'em with my very own glowin' hooves with this newfangled Earth pony magic. Pretty nifty stuff. Oh, I do love to change things up every chance I get, don't you? It can be so boring to do the same thing over and over.
Hitch Trailblazer: Hold that thought. I'm gonna grab some napkins.
Izzy Moonbow: I couldn't agree more, Figgy! Now, what would you say to another cup of cocoa with four marshmallows?
Grandma Figgy: [laughs]
Izzy Moonbow: [slurps] Oh! Ah!
Zipp Storm: [gasps] Look at his tiny sheriff costume!
Grandma Figgy: It was all he wanted that Wishday. I sewed it by hoof. Oh, the badge, too.
Hitch Trailblazer: Normally, this would be embarrassing, but it's a Wishday tradition. Granny would be upset if we didn't do it.
Pipp Petals: Right...
Sunny Starscout: I remember that Wishday! You and Hitch came over to watch the Wishing Star. We both wished for snow and thought it worked, but it was just my dad blowing bubble suds from the top of the lighthouse.
Grandma Figgy: You foals wanted a snowy Wishday, so Argyle made it happen. Oh, it's very nice you're continuing you and your dad's tradition with all your friends. He would love to see it. But look! Your wish finally came true!
Zipp Storm: So it really has never snowed in Maretime Bay before?
Grandma Figgy: Oh, no, not in my pony life. It's a beach town, after all. But snow was always in the best holiday stories. My favorite from when I was a filly was called Fantastical Flurrytales of Wishiehoof.
Izzy Moonbow: Oh! That looks just like the Wishing Tree!
Zipp Storm: Do you mind if I take a closer look? Hmm...
Hitch Trailblazer: Okay! Enough of storytime! Everypony to the Cookie Cottage Crafting Creation Corner!
Grandma Figgy: The what?
Hitch Trailblazer: [sighs] The kitchen.
Zipp Storm: Hmm...
Grandma Figgy: So tidy. That's my Hitchie. [laughs]
Izzy Moonbow: Uh, can we start?
Hitch Trailblazer: No, wait! I almost forgot! I need to find the cute miniature lights to string up on the houses! We can't start before I find the cute miniature lights to string up on the houses! Gran, where are the cute miniature lights we string up on the houses?
Grandma Figgy: Maybe we can do them without the lights this time?
Hitch Trailblazer: I see a "Wishday" box but not a "Wishday Lights" box, so...
Grandma Figgy: Let's try something new, dear!
Hitch Trailblazer: Got 'em! Saved the day again! Thank hoofness, right, Grandma?
Grandma Figgy: Thank hoofness. When it comes to Wishday, Hitchie has to have everything just so.
Zipp Storm: [laughs] We noticed.
Hitch Trailblazer: Now, it's cottage time!
Rest of Mane 5 and Grandma Figgy: [laugh]
[upbeat music]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbles]
Hitch Trailblazer: Oh! [laughs]
Sparky Sparkeroni: Aww...
Zipp Storm: [chuckles]
Hitch Trailblazer: [laughs]
[camera clicking]
Zipp Storm and Grandma Figgy: [laugh]
Izzy Moonbow: [gasps]
Sunny Starscout: Wow! That looks great!
Hitch Trailblazer: Whoa! Hey, that's all right!
Grandma Figgy: Fantastic! This is the best batch of cottages I've ever seen!
Zipp Storm: [munching]
Grandma Figgy: They must taste as good as they look. [laughs]
Zipp Storm: Do they? I wouldn't know. [chomps]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [laughs, belches
[poof!]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [giggles]
Hitch Trailblazer: Oh, no, Gran! Your Wishday teapot!
Grandma Figgy: That old thing? Oh, it's okay.
Hitch Trailblazer: Okay?! But it's special! We've been drinking out of that teapot since before I could trot!
Grandma Figgy: That means it's definitely time for a new one then.
Sparky Sparkeroni: [purrs]
Mane 5 and Grandma Figgy: Awww!
Izzy Moonbow: So cute!
Sunny Starscout: Time? Oh, yeah! Time! Uh, Grandma Figgy, this was a fantastic way to kick off our grand holiday tour, but if we want to hit all of our stops, we've gotta get a move on!
Grandma Figgy: Wait! You need treats for the trip!
Hitch Trailblazer: Ah! Granny!
Grandma Figgy: [laughs]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [giggles]
Izzy Moonbow: Wow, look at that!
Hitch Trailblazer: Not a true cookie cottage without tiny lights.
Grandma Figgy: A shining reminder of our perfect Winter Wishday tradition. [laughs]
Hitch Trailblazer: Well, I know how you like everything to be just so, Grandma.
Grandma Figgy: Yes, Hitchie.
Rest of Mane 5 [laugh]
Sunny Starscout: Thanks for the Figgy pudding.
Zipp Storm: And the book.
Pipp Petals: And everything else!
Grandma Figgy: Oh, you're very welcome, everypony. My word, it's really coming down out here, huh?
Zipp Storm: It sure is.
Grandma Figgy: Stay warm! Fly safe!
Mane 5: We will!
[beep]
[whirring]
Mane 5: Bye!
Zipp Storm: Peace out!
Grandma Figgy: [slurps]
[whoosh!]
Sunny Starscout: [sighs] I just love the holidays.
Pipp Petals: Me, too! Grandma Figgy is the sweetest!
Hitch Trailblazer: Yes, she is. Even if she is pretty particular about traditions.
Zipp Storm: [chuckles] Yeah. She's so set in her ways.
Sunny Starscout: Okay, so I know we spent a little longer there than we planned, but we'll definitely still make it back to the Brighthouse to see the Wishing Star together.
Zipp Storm: We will if I have anything to say about it! Full speed ahead!
[beep]
[whoosh!]
[engine sputters]
[birds chirping]
Zipp Storm: Okay, same speed ahead, I guess. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Sunny Starscout: So what holiday traditions do you have, Izzy?
Izzy Moonbow: First I have to place my ornament on the Wishing Tree. And then it's the final day of the Wishiehoof Crystal Lighting Ceremony!
Pipp Petals: Ooh, I love ornaments!
Hitch Trailblazer: And I love ceremonies!
[beat]
Hitch Trailblazer: What? I do.
Sparky Sparkeroni: Me, too!
Izzy Moonbow: Oh, oh, oh! Can we pop by Villa Izzy first? I have to grab, uhhh, something...
Zipp Storm: Mysterious!
Izzy Moonbow: It'll only take two shakes of a pony's tail! Ooh, ooh! [whispers] That means not very long.
Sunny Starscout: Heh. Of course, Izzy. Oh...
Izzy Moonbow: [laughs] Yes!
Zipp Storm: Flying is my jam! To Bridlewood!
[whoosh!]
Mane 5: [cheer]
Zipp Storm: Hmm...
[whirring dies down]
Izzy Moonbow: [humming, giggles]
Hitch Trailblazer: Whoa!
[door opens]
[door closes]
Sunny Starscout: Whoa!
Pipp Petals: Wow, that's a lot more than a few flakes.
[flump!]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbles]
Zipp Storm: Do you think all this snow is unusual for Bridlewood, too?
Pipp Petals: No idea. But doesn't it look gorgeous?
[door opens]
Izzy Moonbow: Surprise! Hoof-knitted scarves for all of you! Even you, Sparky.
Zipp Storm: Thank you, Izzy!
Pipp Petals: Stunning!
Hitch Trailblazer: Thanks!
Sunny Starscout: Is this traditional Wishiehoof winter wear?
Izzy Moonbow: Sure is! Now bundle up, everypony. We don't want to be chilly fillies!
Zipp Storm: Is it always this chilly?
Izzy Moonbow: Huh... Actually... Nope! Now, come on! Wishiehoof awaits!
[bright music]
[indistinct chatter]
Sunny Starscout: Wow!
Hitch Trailblazer: Whoa!
Pipp Petals: [gasps] Amazing! This looks so pretty, Iz! They really went all out!
Izzy Moonbow: Yeah, it's a unicorn thing. Wishiehoof is a day of fun, friendship, and frolicking! We are very serious about our frolicking!
Sunny Starscout: Wow. This is really special, Izzy.
Izzy Moonbow: Just you wait. The best is yet to come. Oooh! I gotta get in line to place my ornament!
Hitch Trailblazer: Is that what I think it is?
Pipp Petals: I was about to ask the same question.
Izzy Moonbow: If you're asking if my ornament for the tree is the tree, then... yes! I'm gonna put the tree on the tree! How funny is that? Now, to hang it up— [gasps] Oh, wait, is that Alphabittle?
Alphabittle: [slurps]
Izzy Moonbow: Alphabittle Blossomforth!
Alphabittle: Izzy Moonbow? You're back!
Izzy Moonbow: Couldn't miss Wishiehoof! Hey, do you still love games?
Alphabittle: Whatcha thinkin'?
Izzy Moonbow: Mmm... Charades! I'll bet you my ornament!
Alphabittle: I don't think you wanna do that, Izzy.
[western music]
Izzy Moonbow: Sounds like a dare! You're on! One word. First and only word. Uh, gumdrops! Rainbow! Uh, single-cell organism? Wait, that's three words. Uh, caterpillar! Scrumbo!
Alphabittle: Hmm?
Izzy Moonbow: [sighs] That's not even a word. UGH! I give up. What was it?
Alphabittle: It was my own name. Alphabittle. [laughs] Now cough it up! Respectfully.
Izzy Moonbow: Hmph! Enjoy it!
Sunny Starscout: Oh, no, Izzy. Your special ornament.
Izzy Moonbow: Oh, it's okay. You know what they say. Anything worth doing is worth doing twice.
Alphabittle: You made two? Why?
Izzy Moonbow: Don't you always prepare for losing spontaneous games of charades?
Alphabittle: [chuckles] I don't need to prepare. I'm the best to ever do it. Frostyshivers to you, Izzy.
Izzy Moonbow: Frostyshivers back at you, Alphabittle.
Pipp Petals: Iz, I'd really like to get to the tree, even just to snap a few pics in portrait mode.
Izzy Moonbow: [squeals] O-M-Cuties!
[bunnycorns squeaking]
Izzy Moonbow: How are you? Aww, look at you, you're freezing. I know what you need! Some Wishiehoof scarves! [grunting]
[bunnycorns squeaking]
Izzy Moonbow: What did they say?
Hitch Trailblazer: They said, "Thank you and frostyshivers." Okay, what does that even mean?
Izzy Moonbow: [giggles] It's our Wishiehoof greeting. Try it.
Onyx: It's far out. I haven't seen anything like this in....
[beat]
Onyx: Ever, ever, ever...
[bongo drums]
Izzy Moonbow: Neither have I.
Onyx: Do you wanna hear my new Wishiehoof poem? Wrote it just for today.
Hitch Trailblazer: No! [clears throat] No way! Too slow!
Onyx: What's that? You wanna hear it too? Okay. I call this one "Requiem for the Fallen Snow".
What are these flakes my eyes do see?
What is this chill coming over me?
Is this some enchanted winter fan-ta-sy?
Snowpony, come and set me free, free, free
[bongo drums]
[Onyx]
The flakes fall down, the trees don't wither
Colts and mares, I wish you... frostyshivers
[bongo drums]
Pipp Petals: I... I don't know what to say.
Hitch Trailblazer: I don't remember life before that poem.
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbles]
Izzy Moonbow: I loved it! Kinda felt a bit short, though.
Onyx: Well, I'm workshopping more verses at the open mic in a minute. You should come.
Sunny Starscout: We'd love to! But we have, um, a previous obligation. Bye, Onyx! You've got a date with a tree, buddy!
Izzy Moonbow: [laughs] All right! I'm coming, I'm coming!
Sunny Starscout: So what makes this tree so special?
Izzy Moonbow: It just always has been. Many unicorns believe it has mystical properties.
Pipp Petals: [gasps] Like what?
Izzy Moonbow: It's said that the Wishing Tree can get rid of the Jinxies. I don't know if it's true, but this tree is definitely one-of-a-kind. Here I go!
[bright music]
[gong sounds]
Zipp Storm: What does that mean?
Izzy Moonbow: [squeals] The final Crystal Lighting Ceremony's about to begin!
Unicorn Stallion: Frostyshivers! Frostyshivers to you! Frostyshivers to you! Frostyshivers to everypony!
[birds chirping]
Sunny Starscout: Oh, I hate to leave, but it's time! To the Mare Stream, crew!
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbles]
Izzy Moonbow: Oh! Why, it's the kindly mayor's secretary who always—
Sunny Starscout: GRAB HER!
Izzy Moonbow: I was only gonna say a quick hello!
Mane 5: [screaming]
Zipp Storm: Hold on to your holiday hats, everypony! Let's see how fast this thing can go!
Pipp Petals: Whoooaaaa!
[whirring]
Sunny Starscout and Izzy Moonbow: [whimpering]
Hitch Trailblazer: Whoa! [grunts] Whew!
Pipp Petals: Hey, Zipper? Can you see okay? All I see is a wall of white!
Sunny Starscout: The snow is too thick!
Zipp Storm: Freaking out isn't going to help! We gotta stay chill.
Pipp Petals: How can we stay chill?! Look at all that ice!
[ice cracking]
Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] I know how to calm us down! We just have to think calm thoughts and try as hard as we can to concentrate on what we want to happen! So think about a safe landing in Zephyr Heights!
Sunny Starscout: And this works?
Izzy Moonbow: It's an old unicorn trick! Worth a shot, am I right? I mean, am I? I'm making this up as I go along.
Zipp Storm: It's all we've got! So yeah!
Izzy Moonbow: Everypony! Visualize the fancy-schmancy royal gates of Zephyr Heights!
Sunny Starscout: [groaning]
Hitch Trailblazer: [groaning]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [groaning]
Pipp Petals: Palace sweet palace! Oh! Oh, do you think the decorations will be sparkly?
Sunny Starscout: CONCENTRATE!
Pipp Petals: [groaning]
Hitch Trailblazer: [whimpering]
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbling]
Izzy Moonbow: Aah! Hang on tight!
Zipp Storm: Come on, come on, come on!
[tense music]
[shimmering sounds]
[whirring]
Zipp Storm: Zephyr Heights! W-We're gonna make it!
[whoosh!]
[whirring dies down]
Sunny Starscout: Whoo-hoo! [laughs]
Pipp Petals: [hyperventilates] How's my hair?!
Zipp Storm: Hah! Nailed it!
Hitch Trailblazer: I can't believe that worked!
Izzy Moonbow: Whoo!
Sunny Starscout: Me neither, but there's no time to celebrate here.
Zipp Storm: And then we've gotta get ready for the...
Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm: ...Zephyr Heights Wishentine Royal Carousel Concert!
Izzy Moonbow: Wow, that still takes a long time to say.
Sparky Sparkeroni: Uh-huh.
Sunny Starscout: What should we do in the meantime?
Pipp Petals: Treat yourselves, of course!
Zipp Storm: V.I.P. Royal Luxury Box tickets to the concert. You can relax while we get ready.
Hitch Trailblazer: Aww, I don't wanna just sit around and—
Pipp Petals: Help yourselves to the complimentary gourmet food?
Hitch Trailblazer: You had me at "food".
Sparky Sparkeroni: Ooh! [chomps]
Sunny Starscout: Let's go, ponies! We've still got a star to wish on later!
Izzy Moonbow: One, two, three...
Mane 5: Wishentine!
[upbeat "Deck the Halls" instrumental]
Queen Haven: Come, Cloudpuff! Pick up those precious paws! Don't dawdle. Oh! Darlings, come look at this! Crandall's has outdone themselves!
[Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a]
Zipp Storm: [speedily] Wow, Mom, that was amazing! Very festive! Yup! So incredible! I don't think it can be outdone! Why bother looking at anything else?
Pipp Petals: [speedily] What's next? Ooh, they're doing a maple syrup tasting at Outingdale's!
Zipp Storm: Dibs on first sample! Come on, Mom! Get your syrup on!
Pipp Petals: Hurry!
Queen Haven: [panting] Oh, my, girls! Slow down! Shopping isn't a race! It's a marathon!
Pipp Petals: Oh, uh, well, um, uh, we, uh...
Zipp Storm: We just want to make the most of our Wishentine with you!
Pipp Petals: Yeah! We'd rather spend less time at more places than more time at less places!
Queen Haven: Well, I suppose that makes sense. [gasps] Oh, my hoofness! Look! It's us!
Pipp Petals: [squeals]
Zipp Storm: [groans]
[clattering]
Zipp Storm: Hmm? Hey, Mom? Do you know any Wishentine pony-tales about snow?
Queen Haven: Oh, girls, come! We simply take a selfie with our self-ies!
[camera clicking]
Sunny Starscout and Izzy Moonbow: Whoa!
Thunder Flap: Fizziewick sandwiches?
Izzy Moonbow: Whoa! What are those?!
Zoom Zephyrwing: That's just what Thunder calls cucumber sandwiches.
Izzy Moonbow: Oh, that's creative. [chomps]
Sunny Starscout: Oh, Izzy, look! There's even presents for us? Wow, so unexpected! Hitch!
Hitch Trailblazer: Huh?
Sunny Starscout: Get in on this! Huh...
Izzy Moonbow: Oh. They're empty.
Zoom Zephyrwing: Uh...
Thunder Flap: Oh, those are just... uh, uh, well... you see...
Zoom Zephyrwing: They're full of air! Um, uh, air from clouds!
Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, and Hitch Trailblazer: [gasp]
Zoom Zephyrwing: Special clouds!
Thunder Flap: That's right! Uh, clouds! It's a traditional Pegasus gift.
Sunny Starscout: How fascinating! And clever! What kind of clouds? Nimbus? Cumulonimbus? Cirrus? Raincloud?
Izzy Moonbow: Nah, that doesn't make sense. The box would leak. [laughs]
Sunny Starscout: [laughs] What's your favorite kind of cloud?
Izzy Moonbow: Good question. Well, I wanna say "fluffy" because I really like fluffy things...
Zoom Zephyrwing: That was a really good cover.
Thunder Flap: Oh, you, too. I just rolled with it.
Zoom Zephyrwing: I don't know why we didn't just tell them these are decorations.
Thunder Flap: Well, they seemed so excited.
Zoom Zephyrwing: They really did.
Sunny Starscout: What do you got there?
Hitch Trailblazer: Look, more clouds!
Zipp Storm: Mom, look at that! And that! Wow!
Queen Haven: [panting]
Pipp Petals: Yeah, it's even more impressive if you look at it while flying by it at top speed!
Cloudpuff: [barking]
Queen Haven: All right, that's enough ganders, girls. I can hardly keep up!
Skye Silver: Later this evening on ZBS, the Zephyr Heights Royal Wishentine Carousel Concert! Featuring Princesses Pipp and Zipp and the Royal Chamber Choir!
Queen Haven: [squeals] Come along, my dears! It's time to head to the concert hall! We need extra rehearsal time!
Zipp Storm: Why?
Queen Haven: I pulled some strings. You've got several more numbers in the concert. Which means... the show is twice as long as usual!
Zipp Storm: [groans]
Pipp Petals: [nervous chuckle]
Izzy Moonbow: Ooh! [chomps]
Sunny Starscout: Wow!
Hitch Trailblazer: [slurps] I gotta say, this is the life!
Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbles]
[grandiose music]
[ponies cheer]
Queen Haven: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you all so much for braving the snow to attend to our joyous and wonderful, wondrous, and joyful Zephyr Heights Wishentine Royal Carousel Concert!
[ponies cheer]
Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, and Hitch Trailblazer: [cheer]
Queen Haven: You're in for a treat! Tonight's show will be extra special. We will be taking you through the entire history of Wishentines of yestermoon. Now, we will begin with act one of six—
Sunny Starscout: [spits] Six?! [echoes]
Queen Haven: Yes, six! Now, it is my pleasure to introduce our very own Royal Orchestra Chamber Choir and my talented daughters Princesses Pipp Petals and Zephyrina Storm!
[slow, grandiose music]
[Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm]
The fire is glowing
Friendship is flowing
It's the feeling of knowing
It will soon be Wishentine
Hooves on the rooftop
The ringing of the bells
Lights shining bright
On the carousel
Joyous, joyous Wishentine
Joyous, joyous Wishentine
The twinkling Wishing Star that shines
At joyous, joyous Wishentine
Izzy Moonbow: [snoring]
[Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm]
Sleigh bells are ringing
Young ponies singing
The season is bringing
The joy of Wishentine
The gifts that we share
As our hearts all swell
As we go round and round
On the carousel
At joyous, joyous Wishentine
[applause]
Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, and Hitch Trailblazer: [snoring, muttering]
Zipp Storm: Love you, Mom! This was, uh, amazing! Yeah! Just great!
Pipp Petals: Yes! So glad we could celebrate Wishentine with you! Kisses!
Queen Haven: Excuse me! Where do you two think you're going in this snowfall?
Pipp Petals: Maretime Bay! To see the Wishing Star!
Zipp Storm: We promised Sunny!
Queen Haven: Joyous Wishentine, my darlings.
Thunder Flap: Awww! Thank you, Highness!
Queen Haven: Ugh.
[wind whistling]
[doors open]
Zipp Storm: We're here! We're here!
Pipp Petals: Sorry that took so long, Sunny! We had no idea it would be... [gulps] ...six acts.
Sunny Starscout: It's okay. You two sang beautifully.
Hitch Trailblazer: Oh, yeah! Zephyr Heights really knows how to put on a show.
Izzy Moonbow: The part where you all flew around in a circle like an actual carousel?! I'm still dizzy!
Zipp Storm: Thank you all, but we have to hurry!
Izzy Moonbow: And the snow is... Ah! What is this?
Zipp Storm: It's a blizzard!
Izzy Moonbow: Whoa! It is! I can't belizzle it's be-lizzarding right now! [chuckles] Oh, no. Are we gonna miss the star?
Sunny Starscout: [shivering] Not if we hurry!
Zipp Storm: We just have to get to the Mare Stream! Just one question. Where is it?
Sunny Starscout: I wanted so badly for us to get back in time to view the Wishing Star together! And now we're stranded in Zephyr Heights on Wishday, Wishiehoof, Wishentine, whatever you call it!
Hitch Trailblazer: We'll find our way back, Sunny.
Izzy Moonbow: Yeah! I'm not giving up yet! Hello? Mare Stream? Come out, wherever you are!
Mane 5 and Sparky Sparkeroni: [shivering]
[tense music]
Izzy Moonbow: Oh. Frostyshivers to us, I guess.
[wind whistles]
Zipp Storm: Huh?
Izzy Moonbow: I just wish we could just find the Mare Stream and get home in time to see the star together.
[shimmering sounds]
Izzy Moonbow: [gasps]
Mane 5: Whoa!
[triumphant music]
Mane 5: Whoa!
[whirring]
[hissing]
Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] It's magical!
Sunny Starscout: It's a miracle!
Zipp Storm: It's a magical miracle! No... It's not! It's a wish! Just like in the book!
Unicorn Mare: Frostyshivers!
[flump!]
Dapple: Frostyshivers!
Unicorn Mare: Frostyshivers!
Unicorn Stallion: Frostyshivers!
Zipp Storm: In Grandma Figgy's book, Fantastical Flurrytales of Wishiehoof, whenever the unicorns wanted snowy weather, they would try to recite a spell for it. But it's been ages since unicorns in Equestria could harness that ability because magic was lost. Now that's it's back...
Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] The unicorns have been doing spells?!
Zipp Storm: Without even realizing it! "Frostyshivers" isn't just a greeting!
Hitch Trailblazer: It's a really, really old snow spell?!
Zipp Storm: Uh-huh! Exactly! That's why we're having this snowstorm!
[beat]
Sparky Sparkeroni: Wow.
Sunny Starscout: Detective Zipp does it again!
Izzy Moonbow: But the unicorns don't know they're doing spells!
Sunny Starscout: You're right. I think we should make one more stop before we head to Maretime Bay.
Unicorn Stallion 4: Warm Wishiehoof! Warm Wishiehoof to you!
Unicorn Stallion 5: Warm Wishiehoof!
Unicorn Stallion 6: Warm Wishiehoof to you!
[laughing and cheering]
Alphabittle: Phew! I was starting to think I was gonna break my snow shovel. Or my back.
Izzy Moonbow: Yeah! We did it! We've gotta get back to Maretime Bay!
Sunny Starscout: Yeah, so we can celebrate!
[bright music]
[whirring]
[whoosh!]
Sunny Starscout: I can't believe we're here.
Pipp Petals: What a great idea, Sunny. And we had time to do everything!
Izzy Moonbow: [gasps] I didn't have time to do everything!
Hitch Trailblazer: What do you mean, Iz?
Izzy Moonbow: Ugh! I didn't have time to get you presents! I'm probably the only one that's empty-hoofed.
Pipp Petals: [gasps] I also forgot!
Zipp Storm: Ditto, sis.
Hitch Trailblazer: Oh, no! I did, too!
Sparky Sparkeroni: Me, too.
Sunny Starscout: Oh, it's okay. We don't need to exchange gifts. Because we have each other.
Hitch Trailblazer: That doesn't really count, though.
Sunny Starscout: Sure it does. Hitch shared his special family tradition, Izzy showed us the mystical Wishing Tree all lit up, and Pipp and Zipp gave us the gift of music.
Zipp Storm: So much music.
Sunny Starscout: But the best part is we got to experience the holiday together. Which is all I really wanted anyway. A magical time spent with all of you.
Rest of Mane 5: Awww!
Zipp Storm: [giggles] What's your gift, Sunny?
Sunny Starscout: Glad you asked. Wait for it. Wait for it... Continue to wait for another second, aaaaand... now!
[shimmering sounds]
Rest of Mane 5: Wow!
[shimmering sounds]
Sunny Starscout: Our cutie marks!
Zipp Storm: Whoa. That was pretty cool.
Hitch Trailblazer: So what did you wish for, Sunny?
Sunny Starscout: It already came true.
Izzy Moonbow: Wait! I just remembered I did get you ponies something else! [humming] Ta-daaaaa! For you! And you! And you!
Hitch Trailblazer: Thanks!
Sunny Starscout: Thank you, Izzy!
Zipp Storm: Thank you, Izzy!
Izzy Moonbow: Surprise! Nimbostratuses!
Pipp Petals: Ohhhh. Wait, what?
Izzy Moonbow: You know, air from the clouds! Zoom and Thunder said those were your favorite kind!
Mane 5: [laugh]
Sunny Starscout: I love it. Thank you all for the perfect holiday.
