- Come on! - Come on!
Turn into a teacup!
No! Teacup!
Oh, Starlight, I can't put a trick
that's not working into my act!
How come it's not working?
It could be because you're just yelling teacup!
And not picturing it in your mind.
Oh, yeah, that could be it.
What does your teacup look like?
What shape is it? What color?
Starlight, I did it!
I did it! I did it! I did it!
Hey!
Teacup!
Teacup! Teacup! Teacup!
Teacup! Teacup!
Teacup!
You know what you need?
A teacup!
Whoops!
I guess I pictured a teacup poodle.
Trixie, you ruined my tea cakes!
I just got excited.
This is the first time I did a transfiguration spell --
real magic.
Come on! Be impressed by me.
Yay!
Trixie!
You're so great at magic
and having good hair!
Good job, Trix, but I was baking these
to give to Twilight and the girls
for their friendship retreat.
Pinkie Pie gave me a recipe and everything.
Oh, you need some snacks to give to Twilight?
I've got you covered.
Problem solved.
Not exactly.
I am so excited for this friendship retreat!
I can't remember the last time we all got to hang out
without having to save Equestria.
Well, we are awesome, but, technically,
we weren't the last ponies to save Equestria.
I was speaking in a broader sense.
Are you sure you don't want to come with us?
Yeah, I have three new comics to get through.
And I promised Trixie we'd practice more magic.
It might be better if the castle was empty,
if you know what I mean.
Relax.
If anything breaks,
Starlight will just go back in time and fix it!
Yeah.
Kidding.
We'll take good care of the castle while you're gone.
Have fun on your friendship retreat!
What in Equestria
is a friendship retreat anyway?
They're going to bond, share laughs,
and, if I know them, they're going to sing a song.
We are going to have so much more fun than them.
Shh.
Twilight, wait!
Starlight has something for you!
Huh?
Here, I, um, brought you snacks.
Oh, how... thoughtful, thanks.
We will... not get hungry on the train.
It was supposed to be tea cakes,
but it's a long story.
have a great time!
You, too!
Okay, Trixie, what kind of spells
Did you want to work on next?
Well, every self-respecting magician has a disappearing act,
so maybe we could start with that.
Hmm,
nothing just disappears,
so that's technically a teleportation spell,
and those are pretty hard.
Maybe we should start with something smaller.
No, no, no, no.
The Great and Powerful Trixie goes big or not at all.
Just tell me how you do it.
Well, I've always found magic is tied to my emotions.
Whatever I'm feeling fuels whatever I'm doing,
and the stronger I'm feeling,
the stronger the magic.
Right, like when you were so upset
that cutie marks took away your friend,
your magic was strong enough to enslave an entire village.
Yup. thanks for bringing that up.
See? I'm already learning.
If anypony is going to teach me
how to do a disappearing spell...
teleportation spell.
Whatever.
I'm complimenting you...
and me.
We can do this 'cause we're amazing,
and magic is friendship and stuff.
I guess we can give it a whirl.
Now, we just need to find you something to teleport.
Spike, how about it?
Uh, let's pick something, I don't know, not living.
I mean, it won't be as impressive, but okay.
teach away, mini-Twilight!
Welcome to manehattan escapes.
Ooh, I'm going to start with a facial
and then get my hooves done.
Oh, it's not that kind of retreat.
Isn't it called manehattan escapes
because it's a deluxe spa
where you can escape all of your troubles?
Nope.
It's because we get locked in a room,
and we have to solve puzzles and riddles in order to escape!
The clues will lead you to a key to get out.
Team-building!
Come on, girls!
This could be fun!
Could be?!
Some of the brightest minds in Equestria
put together these puzzles!
I'm just happy to be with all of you.
Me, too!
I'm not great at solving riddles,
but I'm super great at cheering other ponies on
while they do it.
Go, us!
Ooh, ooh! Whoo-hoo!
Yes, yes, whoo-hoo.
But, just so we know,
exactly how long will we be locked in here?
a group of griffons set the record
for the fastest escape.
It only took them an hour.
Ha! Griffons barely like each other!
We're basically the poster ponies
for amazing friendships,
So get your quill ready, bub!
You're going to have to write down a new record!
If you master this spell
before the girls get back,
you'd be setting some kind of record!
challenge accepted.
Okay, what you want to do is concentrate on the object
that you want to teleport.
Yeah, I'm going to go...
all the way over here.
Concentrate on teleporting.
Got it.
Doing the spell!
No, Trix, wait! not just --
Ugh.
Ta-da...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
You made Twilight's friendship map disappear!
Teleport.
Really?!
Well, it was behind the apple.
It was bound to happen.
On the plus side, my magic is getting better!
I made a whole table go poof!
That was pretty impressive!
Trixie, we have to get that map back.
We'll find it. no big deal.
Twilight's never going to trust me
to be alone in this castle again.
What were you thinking?
Teleport, like you told me to.
No, you're supposed to concentrate on the object,
Not just teleporting!
Well, gee, you probably should've told me all the steps
before you let me do the spell.
I tried.
I...need a minute.
Hey, you okay?
I will be once I cast a spell
to contain my anger in this bottle.
Wait, what?
Do you see this storm cloud?
This has never happened before!
All this magical energy has to go somewhere,
and if I'm not using it to fight a magical duel
Or bend my friends' wills to obey my every command...
Ha, I remember that.
The point is, I don't know what my magic's going to do,
so I'm hoping, if I bottle up my anger,
I won't do who knows what to Trixie.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
What choice do I have?
I've got to get that map back,
and I don't want to lose Trixie.
If she knew what I was thinking right now,
she'd probably never talk to me again.
Okay.
You do what you need to do.
I'll see if I can find the map somewhere in the castle.
Trixie!
Oh, there you are!
For a minute, I didn't think you were coming back
and that you might be upset with me for some weird reason,
but then I remembered you never get mad at me.
No, not mad at all.
So, the map is probably in the last place
you were thinking of -- where was that?
Oh, great question.
I wish you'd asked it, like, right after I did the spell.
I don't remember anymore.
No worries.
We'll just take a walk around town.
Maybe that'll jog your memory.
Okay, that sounds fun.
Ooh!
Did you remember?
Nope, but I did think we could stop for cinnamon nuts
While we're out!
Cinnamon nuts?
That's a good idea.
Yes!
I've been craving something sweet
since I couldn't have any tea cakes this morning.
You got this, Starlight.
Whoo-hoo! Go, Twilight!
You can do it!
Woo-hoo! Whew, wee!
You solved that triangle-y thing mighty fast.
Uh, does any pony need a purple jewel?
Ooh, plum or boysenberry?
Don't both those fruits mean purple?
Yes, but one's a lovely purple, and one's, well, icky.
Just put the gem in!
We're trying to set a record here!
Yay! we solved another clue,
because our friendship is so true!
Yay, us!
Whoo-hoo!
Well, hello, fillies.
Uh, how can I help you?
Oh, are those cinnamon nuts?
Mm, yes. I got them from the cart outside.
They're delicious! do you want some?
Have you seen a big table,
magical map on it?
Sometimes glowing cutie marks shoot out.
A big ta-- no, no.
Uh, why in Equestria would something like that be in here?
Well, I cast a pretty amazing spell that transported it
to the last place I was thinking of,
but I might have been thinking
about how I'd treat myself to a nice broach instead.
Uh, well, no huge table here.
Uh, are you still interested in that broach?
Sure.
No!
We don't have time for this!
Twilight and the girls are gonna be back soon!
But I'm not upset. what's our next stop?
Nope, I ain't seen it.
Are you sure?
It's really, really important that we find it,
And it might be here because somepony was craving apples.
I'm still craving them.
They'd go so well with cinnamon nuts.
Oh, them nuts sure do smell good!
Granny smith, please!
The table?
Uh, buh, huh?
Well, my eyes ain't what they used to be,
But I'd know for sure if a big ol' table
done appeared out of thin air.
Darn!
I could have sworn it'd be at the ice cream parlor
because it was warm in the castle,
and I thought I wanted ice cream.
And -- oh, maybe we should check out the Crystal Empire,
cause Twilight's castle is made out of crystal,
so I totally had crystals on my mind.
Okay, we better start moving
if we want to make it to the Crystal Empire.
Are you okay, Starlight?
Because you seem a little...
What's the word?
lch-bh-ba.
No, I am great.
Did your saddlebag just glow?
- No! - Gimme!
No!
- Give it here. - Don't.
What's in this?
Cinnamon nuts!
Ooh, I have had a hankering for these all day!
Uh, me, too, ever since that Trixie came by with them.
Um, why are they looking at me like that?
Whoa!
You ruined my tea cakes!
What?
You just had to give Twilight those smelly pretzels!
Were they your pretzels?
I don't understand.
You don't pay attention when I'm trying to teach you!
Starlight, can you help me, please?
Twilight, can you help me, please?
I've seen those symbols over here.
You can do it!
Almost there.
I've got the key!
This is it! I'm so impressed.
I'm not! I knew we were the best!
You're the worst!
That seems harsh.
Hyah! Ah!
Starlight!
I don't know what's happening!
Starlight, help!
I'm glad Twilight isn't here to see this.
I wish that Starlight was here
to see how strong friendships can be
when we trust each other and work together.
You've all taught me so much.
♫ Friendship used to make me so queasy, queasy ♫
♫ But you made it all so easy, easy ♫
♫ No, I don't have to say what I'm thinking ♫
♫ You already know without even blinking ♫
♫ You girls are the apple of my eye ♫
♫ The race that doesn't end in a tie ♫
♫ You are the funnel cake at my fair ♫
♫ The warm hug of a fuzzy bear ♫
♫ Best friends ♫
♫ Until the end of time ♫
♫ We'll have each other's backs ♫
♫ And let our true selves shine ♫
♫ And that's because everything we need is all right here ♫
♫ When we're with our team ♫
Starlight!
A spark of magic
Could be very helpful right about now!
I can't.
♫ I simply can't imagine there'd be a day ♫
♫ Where I wouldn't want to be walking your way ♫
♫ Whatever new problems there may be, may be ♫
♫ A friendship is always the door with the key ♫
♫ You are the jewels in my friendship crown ♫
♫ The sparks that make my world go 'round ♫
♫ We bring the best out that's our goal ♫
♫ There's no telling how far we'll go ♫
♫ Best friends until the end of time ♫
♫ We'll have each other's backs ♫
♫ And let our true selves shine ♫
♫ And that's because everything we need is all right here ♫
♫ When we're with our team ♫
That was lovely!
But, um, you know the game isn't over
until you turn that key?
Ah!
Did we do it?
So close.
You missed the griffon record
by two seconds.
Probably shouldn't have sung that song.
Aw, nuts!
Ah!
Nuts!
You just do whatever you want to do!
Starlight!
And you don't always have to bring up my dark past!
I didn't know you had one, granny smith!
I just can't believe you sometimes!
You make me so mad!
I barely even know you!
I don't understand why you're all so mad at me!
They're not.
I am.
You are?
I'm really mad at you.
You lost Twilight's map table.
You make jokes like it's no big deal.
It's like you don't even care
you could get me in a lot of trouble.
If we can't find that table,
Twilight's never going to trust me again,
and the worst part is
you didn't even say you were sorry!
I -- I'm sorry.
I had no idea you felt that way.
Yeah, I do!
But, to be fair,
I don't know how you could've known.
I did a spell and bottled up my anger.
But when the bottle broke,
it infected these three.
I'm really sorry.
I used magic so I wouldn't use magic.
I should've guessed that would backfire.
Oh, that's all right. it was a slow day.
Yeah, I was going to get my dentures clean
before y'all showed up.
Ah! Oh, no!
My nut cart!
Yay, my nut cart!
Uh, hang on. don't you work at the spa?
Ah! I'm late for my other job!
What? I wear many hats.
Not going to lie,
hearing you and those random ponies
say all those terrible things about me
wasn't easy, but I needed to hear it.
Why didn't you just tell me how you felt?
I didn't want to lose you as a friend.
Come on.
It would take a lot more than that to lose me.
Our friendship is stronger than a few angry words.
And a magical temper tantrum?
Listen, I'd take that over the boring pony
you were becoming any day.
The Starlight I love is passionate,
lively, and, yeah, sometimes angry.
Those are my favorite parts of you,
that and the fact that you forgive me every time.
I'll forgive you if you forgive me.
Deal.
I remembered what I was thinking about!
You're kidding me.
There's more to it than that.
I was thinking about how glad I am
to have met you,
and I remembered our first meeting
here at the ponyville spa.
And now I just have to teleport it back.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
A little to the left.
Oh, now rotate it just a hair.
Hey, girls! How'd it go?
Nothing!
What?
Uh, let's just say I learned
a friendship lesson while you were gone.
You've barely graduated,
and you're already taking initiative!
Oh, so proud!
We learned about team-building
and problem-solving.
And when not to sing songs!
We certainly had a good time,
but I really was looking forward to a spa day,
and the ponyville spa is still open.
Anyone?
Sounds good to me!
We'll meet you there.
Quick, do you have a spell that will make the spa ponies
forget that the map table was there?
Haven't you learned anything
about using magic to solve your problems?
No.
If we learn that lesson, how will we ever have fun?
