Twilight Sparkle: I can't believe you two are going on a friendship quest! This is amazing!

Applejack: What do you mean, Twilight? We've been on one together before.

Twilight Sparkle: Exactly! This is the first time the map has teamed up the same ponies for a second quest!

Fluttershy: That is special.

Applejack: Heh. Must be 'cause we're extra good at solvin' friendship problems.

Twilight Sparkle: I hope so, 'cause it looks like this one might be a little tricky. You're going to the Peaks of Peril.

Fluttershy: The Peaks of... P-P-Peril?!

Applejack: Aw, it's just a name. It doesn't mean anythin'.

Fluttershy: Like how Cloudsdale is in the clouds and the Crystal Empire's made of crystal?

Applejack: Fair point. So, what can ya tell us about the place, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: Only what Rockhoof told me. Back in his day, nopony knew much about the Peaks of Peril except for the legend on this ancient shield. It says a group called the Kirin used to live there, known for their kindness and truth-speaking.

Applejack: Now we know why the Map called us.

Twilight Sparkle: Unfortunately, other creatures also lived there. The Nirik, fearsome beasts of pure fire.

Fluttershy: [shudders] Maybe you should go instead of me, Twilight. [laughs nervously]

Twilight Sparkle: Sorry, Fluttershy. Flanks don't lie.

[shimmering]

Applejack: Aw, I'm sure the two of us'll get that friendship problem solved, no matter what kind o' creature has it.

Fluttershy: [laughs nervously]

[theme song]

[train chugging]

[brakes hiss]

[train chugging]

[wind whistling]

Applejack: Guess nopony else is goin' out as far as we are.

Fluttershy: Maybe they know something we don't?

Applejack: Now, Fluttershy, I've told you a dozen times. There's nothin' to be sca—

Ticket Taker Pony: [screams]

Applejack and Fluttershy: [scream]

Ticket Taker Pony: I'm sorry.

Fluttershy: [screams] You really startled us.

Ticket Taker Pony: Oh, it's just that I'm not used to seeing anypony taking the train to... [ominously] the end of the line. The final destination. The last stop!

Applejack: We get the picture. Why?

Ticket Taker Pony: Nothing but uncharted terrain and wild beasts out that way. [maniacal laughter]

Applejack: Well, maybe there's a little somethin' to be scared of.

Applejack: Yah!

[squishing]

[Fly-ders buzzing]

Applejack: [groans]

[rocks crumbling]

[rustling]

Applejack: [panting] Those must be the Peaks of Peril. Whew. Tough goin', huh, Fluttershy—? Fluttershy? [groans]

Applejack: Yah! [grunts]

[squishing]

[Fly-ders buzzing]

Applejack: [groans]

Applejack: [pants]

[splash!]

[squirrel chittering]

Fluttershy: There. That should be enough flowers to keep your tree cozy.

Applejack: Fluttershy! What are you doin'?! This is no time for visitin' varmints! We're on a friendship quest, remember?!

Fluttershy: Yes, but actua—

Applejack: Come on! We're burnin' daylight!

Fluttershy: I know, but what I found out is that—

Applejack: Now, we gotta get up that peak! I figure if we use some rope and elbow grease, we can make it up half—

Fluttershy: Applejack! Can you please listen to me?! [clears throat] What I'm trying to say is the squirrels told me a shortcut they take to the Kirin village.

[grinding]

[rustling]

Applejack: Oh. [chuckles] Sorry, Fluttershy. I suppose I got a little too caught up in the adventure.

Fluttershy: That's all right. If you hadn't come back to get me, I probably would've talked to the squirrels all day. Heh.

Applejack and Fluttershy: [gasp]

Fluttershy: [giggles]

[rustling]

Fluttershy: I hope that's not a Nirik! [gasps]

Applejack: Show yourself!

Fluttershy: [shudders]

Applejack: Well, hi. I'm Applejack, and this here's Fluttershy.

[beat]

Fluttershy: If you have any friendship problems, we're here to help.

[beat]

Applejack: Huh. [to Fluttershy] Quiet bunch, ain't they? [clears throat] We're from Equestria, and we're plumb tickled to meet y'all.

[beat]

Applejack: S-So, uh... what are your names?

[beat]

Applejack: [stressing] Ap-ple-jack! Flut-ter-shy! Remember?

Fluttershy: [whispering, to Applejack] Maybe they don't understand us.

Applejack: [stressing] Do. You. Un-der-stand. Ponish?

[beat]

Fluttershy: Oh! But you don't speak?

[beat]

Applejack: Don't or won't?

Fluttershy: Will you excuse us for a moment? [to Applejack] You have to ask yes-or-no questions, or they won't answer.

Applejack: Like talkin' to Angel Bunny?

Fluttershy: Not exactly. I can always tell what Angel is feeling. But these Kirin don't show anything.

Applejack: Well, how are we gonna solve a friendship problem if none of 'em will tell us what it is?

[rustling]

Applejack: [yelps] Phew! [yelps] Oh. Have you seen a Kirin that talks?

[beat]

Applejack: Any idea where I should look?

[beat]

Applejack: Oh, for the love of Celestia! Can't ya just say somethin'?!

Autumn Blaze: [giggles] Gotcha!

Applejack: [gasps] This... is amazin'.

Autumn Blaze: Oh, you think so, too?!

Applejack: Mm-hmm!

Autumn Blaze: The way the light shimmers off everything, like, like it all suddenly woke up the moment you saw it and you realize, maybe the water, the mountains, the forest, and... yes, the rainbow and the stars and the sky are all all looking back at you thinking the same thing? That we are a part of the everything. That maybe there's just one thing and we are all it.

[beat]

Applejack: I was gonna say it's pretty. But yeah.

Applejack: I hope it's not a sore subject, but... you mind explaining why y'all went quiet in the first place?

Autumn Blaze: It's a long story.

Applejack: [sighs] You'd rather not talk about it?

Autumn Blaze: No.

Applejack: I... I under-

Autumn Blaze: [begins singing] I'd rather... siiiiiiiiiiiing!
