It wasn’t easy getting
Twilight’s memories of all her friends in there
Without her realizing it,
But we did it.
I’m not so sure you did.
What do you mean?
You are both so thoughtful,
Clearly Twilight is important to you.
But don’t you think you might be important to her as well?
Right...
We forget to add ourselves!
Oh, I can’t believe we forgot
To put in some Twilight memories of us!
And the coronation is tomorrow.
There isn’t time to track Twilight down
And get her to remember more stuff.
I know we wanted the book to be full of Twilight’s memories, but...
We’ll just have to use our own.
I’ve got a lot of those.
My memories of Twilight go as far back as I can remember.
Well, Miss Sparkle?
We don’t have all day.
I knew it was the most important day of my life,
That my entire future would be affected
By the outcome of this day.
And I was about to blow it!
I’m sorry I wasted your time.
She’s always been there...
When I really needed her.
What do you mean you have to win the Gauntlet?
It’s the only way to protect Equestria from the dragons!
You heard them.
They have horrible plans for ponies if they win!
So somehow, I have to do it.
There has to be another way!
It’s too dangerous.
Besides, if you win,
You’d have to stay here!
I know.
But there’s no other way to keep my friends safe.
Well, if you’re staying to compete,
Then we’re staying to cheer you on.
Um... Twilight?
Oh. Hi.
Where’s your... Father?
He’s gone.
Turns out he wasn’t what a real dragon should be after all.
He also wasn’t my real dad.
Oh, Spike...
I’m so sorry.
I’m the one who’s sorry.
You were just worried about me
And I lost my temper.
Sludge was just a great big phony.
I have to say, I’m not surprised.
There’s no way a dragon like that was related to you.
But if you still want to search for your real family,
I’d understand if you spent more time in the Dragonlands.
I don’t think so.
I already know who my real family is.
It’s me right?
Your relationship with Twilight is certainly special, Spike...
But I know from experience
The relationship between a teacher and pupil is as well.
Yeah. Twilight and I didn’t start out
As warm and fuzzy as she and Spike did...
I studied that spell for years!
How can you...?
I studied magic for years, too,
But what I didn’t know then
Was that studying could only take me so far.
Each of my friends has taught me something different about myself.
It was their unique gifts and passions and personalities
That helped bring out the magic inside of me.
I never would have learned
That I represent the Element of Magic without these five,
And I certainly wouldn’t be here to stop you now.
Spare me your sentimental nonsense.
I gave these ponies real friendships
They never could have had otherwise!
How do you know that?!
You never even gave us a chance.
Now more than ever I know how important it is to stop you.
Well, good luck!
Up for another race-ending fight, Twilight?
No.
You were right.
I can’t stop you.
But you can’t stop me from trying
And we could be stuck doing this for all of eternity.
If that’s what it takes to keep you and your friends
From getting your cutie mark connection,
Then I’m game.
Uh... But all that’s totally behind me now.
Obviously.
Everything changed when Twilight reached out her hoof in friendship...
Starlight, you’re right.
I don’t know what you went through,
But I do know you can’t do this.
I’ve seen where this leads
And so have you.
I only saw what you showed me.
Who knows what will really happen?
I’ve seen it a dozen times.
Things don’t turn out well in Equestria without my friends.
Ugh! What’s so special about your friends?!
How can a group of ponies that are so different...
Be so important?
The differences between me and my friends
Are the very things that make our friendships strong.
I thought Sunburst and I were the same,
But we turned out different
And it tore our friendship apart!
So try again.
Make new friends.
And if something that you can’t control happens that changes things,
Work through it together.
That’s what friendship is.
And it’s not just my friendship
That are important to Equestria.
Everyponies are.
When yours ended it lead us here,
But just imagine all the others
That are out there waiting for you
If you just give them a chance.
How do I know they won’t all end the same way?
I guess it’s up to you to make sure they don’t.
If I could have everypony’s attention.
As you all know, Starlight Glimmer been my pupil for a while now,
And I'd hoped she’d be my pupil for a long time yet to come,
But it turns out
That’s just not meant to be.
Starlight,
You have proved yourself to be a kind,
Loyal, strong, honest
And truly magical friend.
Just look around this room at all the new friendships you’ve made.
I know there's nothing more I need to teach you.
So we have a second reason to celebrate today.
Three cheers for Starlight Glimmer on her graduation day!
WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE!!!
Your future is in your own hooves now.
I can’t believe we almost forgot to include ourselves.
What’s wrong?
After hearing your memories,
I couldn’t help but think of some of my own.
I too have fond remembrances of Twilight.
Do you think you might include our recollection as well?
Of course!
Twilight Sparkle.
I’m so sorry!
I didn’t...
You have a very special gift.
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a unicorn with your raw abilities.
Huh?
But you need to learn to tame these abilities through focused study.
Huh?
Twilight Sparkle,
I’d like to make you my own personal protege here at the school.
HUH?!
Well...?
YEEESSS!!
One other thing, Twilight.
More?
My Cutie Mark!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Why so glum my faithful student?
Are you not happy that your quest is complete
And you can return to your studies in Canterlot?
That’s just it.
Just when I learn how wonderful it is to have friends,
I have to leave them.
Spike, take a note please.
I, Princess Celestia,
Hearby decree, that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle,
Shall take on a new mission for Equestria.
She must continue to study the Magic of Friendship.
She must report to me her findings from her new home...
In Ponyville.
Goodbye Nightmare Night.
Forever.
CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE!
YOU WERE WISE TO BRING THIS CANDY TO ME!
I AM PLEASED WITH YOUR OFFERING!
SO PLEASED THAT I MAY JUST EAT IT INSTEAD OF...
...EATING YOU!!
I am not certain that did
What you meant for it to do, Twilight Sparkle.
Just wait...
For what, for...
For them to scream some more?
Um, Princess Luna?
I know there’s not going to be anymore Nightmare Night,
But do you suppose maybe you could come back next year
And scare us again anyway?
Child...
Art thou saying that thou...
Likest me to scare you?
It’s really fun.
Scary,
But fun.
It tis?
Yeah! Nightmare Night is my favorite night of the year.
Well then we shall have to bring...
NIGHTMARE NIGHT BACK!
You’re my favorite princess ever!
She said yes, guys!
YAAAAYYY!!!
See? They really do like you, Princess.
Can it be true...
I created the Tantabus...
To give myself the same nightmare every night.
To punish myself for the evil I caused as Nightmare Moon.
But why would you do that?
To make sure I never forgave myself
For how much Equestria suffered because of me.
But it seems I have not learned my lesson,
For now I have only made you suffer more!
But that means you might just be the key to stopping all this!
Yeah! If it gets strong
Because you feel bad about
what you did as Nightmare Moon,
Then you just gotta stop
feelin’ bad for what you did!
How can I forgive myself?
I am no better now than I was then!
My creation is about to turn the world into a living nightmare!
But look at what you're doing!
Nightmare Moon would have wanted the Tantabus
To turn Equestria into a nightmare.
You’re doing everything you can to stop it!
Don’t you see?
That proves you’re not the same pony you were then?
Everypony who knows you knows that Nightmare Moon is in the past.
We all trust you, Luna.
Do you trust us enough to believe we’re right?
I do!
Is everything okay, Starlight?
We set out to make a book
Filled with Twilight’s memories of her friends,
But using our memories made me realize...
We should put everypony’s memories in!
But the coronation’s tomorrow.
How are we gonna do that?!
Okay, Celestia and Luna came up with some last minute...
“Princess Etiquette” for Twilight to learn,
But we don’t have much time.
I thought you were nearly finished with your book of memories.
We were,
But then we put in our own memories of Twilight
And wanted to give all of you the chance to do the same.
Oooh! Like how she’s always prepared for everything ever?
Or how much she loves books?
Or how she freaks out all the time?
You’re here!
Isn’t this exciting?
Oh you were called too!
Thank goodness.
I feel so much better going with a friend.
I was about to come and get you
But then I got distracted.
Ever since the map called us
I’ve been doing a ton of research.
Testing out potential friendship problems,
Diversifying my solution portfolio...
“Ever since the map called us”?
But... That happened five minutes ago.
I know,
But I want to be 100% prepared.
I mean...
I’m the Princess of Friendship.
How would it look if I couldn’t solve a friendship problem?
Do we want to know why
You’re wrapping up everypony in town?
Not wrapping paper.
A to-do list.
Two of these.
Three of those...
Maybe ten of those.
Just in case.
Twilight, darling, are you alright?
Sure! Just grabbing a few things.
Do I need this?
No. That’s silly.
I NEED EIGHT!
Hey y’all! What’s everypony...
Traditional holiday meltdown?
Hey Twilight...
How’s your day?
I got way behind grading midterms
And Cadance and Shining Armor are coming here
with Flurry Heart for Hearth’s Warming Eve.
And I haven’t started decorating
And I don’t know what to get ANY of you, and...
Stop.
Take a breath.
Now Let it out slow.
Now, I think I have an idea that might help.
Okay! That is it.
I am 100% certain we have everything we need.
And I am 100% certain Twilight is going to love it!
She sure is!
Love darling!
Absolutelytooly!
Oh definitely!
Of course!
Let’s meet back here in the morning
And give her the present
Before everypony leaves for the coronation.
Sorry, I’m so late,
Actually thought I’d missed you...
There’s no time!
So...
I’ll just give this to her
After the coronation,
I guess.
Well, it wasn’t exactly the coronation I was expecting.
I think the only thing that actually worked out
Was giving Twilight our gift.
Yeah. That seemed to go okay.
I can’t believe you two put this whole book together.
It is a truly wonderful keepsake.
I can’t get over how many memories we’ve all made together.
It’s not really surprising.
We’re making one right now.
And now.
Now too!
And now.
Now again.
We’re glad you like it.
There's another one!
Oh, that was a good one.
It’s the prefect present.
Not that I need a book to remember all of you,
But it’s nice to know that no matter what,
All I need to do to see you is open it...
Now you will never see your Princess or your sun!
The night will last FOREVER!!!
You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that?
Well you’re wrong,
Because the spirits of the Elements of Harmony...
...ARE RIGHT HERE!!!
What...?
Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt,
Represents the spirit of...
Honesty!
Fluttershy,
Who tamed the Manticore with her compassion,
Represents the spirit of...
Kindness!
Pinkie Pie,
Who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger,
Represents the spirit of...
Laughter!
Rarity,
Who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift,
Represents the spirit of...
Generosity!
And Rainbow Dash,
Who would not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire,
Represents the spirit of...
Loyalty!
The spirits of these five ponies got us through
Every challenge you threw at us!
You still don’t have the sixth Element!
The spark didn’t work!
But it did!
A different kind of spark.
I felt it the very moment I realized
how happy I was to hear you...
To see you,
How much I cared about you!
The spark ignited inside me
When I realized that you all
Are my friends!
You see Nightmare Moon,
When those Elements are ignited by the....
The spark...
That resides in the heart of us all,
It creates the sixth Element,
The Element of...
MAGIC!
NOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I just realized there’s one problem with this book.
What’s wrong with it?
It comes to an end.
Pinkie is right.
We’re making new memories all the time.
I don’t think a book like this can ever be finished.
I guess not.
We’ll just have to get started on volume two!
I’m so grateful for everything we’ve shared over the years.
My memories of you are so special,
I can’t wait to start making more.
