Dialogue

[train chugging]

Applejack: Hoo-wee! Your very first princess summit. You must be over the moon, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, I am excited. But, to be honest, I'm a little nervous, too.

Pinkie Pie: You're 'nervicited'! It's like you wanna jump up and down and yell "YAY ME!!" But you also wanna curl up in a teeny-tiny ball and hide at the same time! We've all been there!

Fluttershy: I'm there almost every day.

Applejack: You've got no reason to fret, Twi. Everything's gonna be just–

Rarity: TWILIGHT! Oh, sorry, darling, but I just realized you're not wearing your crown. You haven't forgotten it back in Ponyville, have you?

Twilight Sparkle: It's in my bag. Just feel a little self-conscious about wearing it. Haven't really gotten accustomed to these yet, either.

Rarity: You are a princess now, Twilight. Embrace it! I'm telling you, if I had a crown like that, I would never take it off. Why, I'd sleep in the thing.

[horn fanfare]

Flash Sentry: Her highness, Princess Twilight Sparkle!

Princess Cadance: [laughs] Twilight! I haven't seen you since the coronation!

Princess Celestia: We have so much to discuss. But it can wait until tomorrow. You all look tired from your journey. Now, off to bed, all of you.

[excited conversation]

---

Twilight Sparkle: [sigh]

Spike: What's wrong, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know, Spike. I'm just... worried, I guess. Princess Cadance was given the Crystal Empire to rule over. What if, now that I'm a princess, Celestia expects me to lead a kingdom of my own?

Spike: That would be awesome!

Twilight Sparkle: No, it would not! Just because I have this crown and these wings, it doesn't mean I'll be a good leader!

Spike: Aw, sure ya will, Twilight. Now c'mon, you should get some shut-eye. Big day tomorrow! [sigh]

Twilight Sparkle: [grunts] Can't... tuck...! [grunts]

[twang]

Twilight Sparkle: Just trying to get comfortable! Ugh!

---

Rarity: Everything okay in there?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes! [to herself] Only it's not okay. It's not okay at all! If I don't get my crown tonight, I won't be able to go back to Equestria for another thirty moons! Oh, what are we gonna do?

Spike: Hmm. We tell them the truth. Let them know what's really at stake if you don't get the crown tonight. They'll help us figure somethin' out.

Twilight Sparkle: But what if they won't? What if when they find out how different I really am...?

Spike: Twilight, these girls rallied around you 'cause they saw what was in your heart. They aren't gonna feel any differently about you when they find out you're a pony princess in Equestria.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm glad you followed me here, Spike.

Spike: Me too. Unless, of course, we get stuck here for another thirty moons.

Applejack: You okay?

Twilight Sparkle: The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight.

Pinkie Pie: WHAT!?

Twilight Sparkle: It had to be postponed because Sunset Shimmer had Snips and Snails ruin all of Pinkie Pie's decorations.

Pinkie Pie: WHAT?!?

Twilight Sparkle: But the Fall Formal has to happen tonight.

Pinkie Pie: Wha–!

Twilight Sparkle: [sigh] You see...

Pinkie Pie: You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it, they don't work anymore, and you need them to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for, like, a really, really long time! [squee]

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason.

Spike: Nope, she's pretty much spot-on.

Rarity: He can talk!?

Spike: Oh, yeah! And back where I come from, I'm not even a dog! I'm a ferocious, fire-breathing dragon!

Fluttershy: This is so amazing! Tell me, what are you thinking right now?

Spike: Sure would love a scratch behind the old ears!

Rarity: Gah...

Spike: Uh, maybe later.

Twilight Sparkle: How did you know all that?

Pinkie Pie: Just a hunch.

Applejack: Wait a minute! Lemme get this straight. You're a pony?

Rarity: You're a princess?

Fluttershy: You're from another world?

Twilight Sparkle: [gulp] Mm-hmm.

Rainbow Dash: That... is... awesome!

[excited chatter]

Spike: See? Told ya.

[rock music]

Twilight Sparkle: Anybody see Sunset Shimmer?

Rainbow Dash: Maybe she was too embarrassed to show! She's gotta know you won by a landslide!

Twilight Sparkle: Maybe...

[music ends]

[cheering]

Principal Celestia: First off, I wanna say how wonderful everything looks tonight. You all did a magnificent job pulling things together after the unfortunate events of earlier. And now, without further ado, I'd like to announce the winner of this year's Fall Formal crown. The Princess of this year's Fall Formal is... Twilight Sparkle!

[students cheering]

Principal Celestia: Congratulations, Twilight.

Spike: Twilight! Help!

Twilight Sparkle: Spike?

Spike: [growling]

Twilight Sparkle: They've got Spike!

---

Sunset Shimmer: That's close enough!

Spike: Twilight!

Twilight Sparkle: Don't hurt him!

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. I'm not a monster, Twilight. [to Snips and Snails] Let him go. [to Twilight] You don't belong here. Give me the crown, and you can go back to Equestria tonight. Or keep it and never go home.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasp]

Sunset Shimmer: Tick-tock, Twilight. We haven't got all night. The portal will be closing on its own in less than an hour. So, what's your answer?

Twilight Sparkle: No.

Sunset Shimmer: What!? Equestria! Your friends! Lost to you forever! Don't you see what I'm about to do to the portal?!

Twilight Sparkle: Yes, but I've also seen what you've been able to do here without magic. Equestria will find a way to survive without my Element of Harmony. This place might not, if I allow it to fall into your hands. So go ahead. Destroy the portal. You are not getting this crown!

Sunset Shimmer: Fine. You win.

Rainbow Dash: You... are... so awesome!

Applejack: I can't believe you were gonna do that for us!

Rarity: It's no wonder you're a real live princess!

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, yes, she's so very special! [to Snips and Snails] Grab him, you fools!

Spike: [whimpering]

Rainbow Dash: Spike! Spike! Fluttershy!

Sunset Shimmer: I'll take that! [chuckles evilly] At last! More power than I could ever imagine!

[students gasp]

[thunder rumbles]

Sunset Shimmer: [evil laughter]

Main cast: [gasps]

Snips: This is gonna be so cool!

[students screaming]

Sunset Shimmer: I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight just to get my hands on this crown, and it really should have been mine all along. [growls] But let's let bygones be bygones. I am your princess now, and you will be loyal... to me!

[students screaming, Wilhelm scream]

[entranced moaning]

Sunset Shimmer: [to Snips and Snails] Round them up and bring them to the portal. [to Twilight and friends] Spoiler alert: I was bluffing when I said I was going to destroy the portal. I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school; I want Equestria! And with my own little teenage army behind me, I am going to get it!

[zombie-like moans]

Twilight Sparkle: No, you're not!

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, please! What exactly do you think you're going to do to stop me? I have magic, and you have nothing!

Rainbow Dash: She has us!

Sunset Shimmer: [growls, evil laughter] Gee, the gang really is all back together again. [evil laughter] Now step aside! Twilight has tried to interfere with my plans one too many times already! She needs to be dealt with! [evil laughter] What!?

Twilight Sparkle: The magic contained in my Element was able to unite with those that helped create it! [echoing] Honesty! Kindness! Laughter! Generosity! Loyalty! Magic! Together with a crown, they create a power beyond anything you could imagine, but it is a power you don't have the ability to control! The crown may be upon your head, Sunset Shimmer, but you cannot wield it, because you do not possess the most powerful magic of all: the magic of friendship!

Sunset Shimmer: No! [screaming] What is happening?!

Twilight Sparkle: Here and in Equestria, it is the only magic that can truly unite us all!

---

Twilight Sparkle: You will never rule in Equestria. Any power you may have had in this world is gone. Tonight, you've shown everyone who you really are. You've shown them what is in your heart.

Sunset Shimmer: [crying] I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't know there was another way.

Twilight Sparkle: The magic of friendship doesn't just exist in Equestria. It's everywhere. You can seek it out, or you can forever be alone. The choice is yours.

Sunset Shimmer: But... But all I've ever done since being here is drive everyone apart. I don't know the first thing about friendship.

Twilight Sparkle: I bet they can teach you.

Spike: Those are my girls! Woo-hoo!

"Brawly Beats": Did that dog just talk? Whoa. Weird.

Spike: Seriously? The talking dog is a weird thing about all this?

Rarity: I, for one, think you're adorable.

Spike: Oh, yeah.

Principal Celestia: I believe this belongs to you. A true princess in any world leads not by forcing others to bow before her, but by inspiring others to stand with her. We have all seen that you are capable of just that. I hope you see it too, Princess Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: I do.

[crowd cheers]

Flash Sentry: Would now be a completely awkward time to ask you for that dance?

Twilight Sparkle: [giggles]

---

Fluttershy: Where did you stay?

Rarity: What did they wear?

Pinkie Pie: Did ya have fun?

Applejack: What'd ya eat?

Rainbow Dash: Would ya say she's just as awesome as me?

Twilight Sparkle: [sigh] I wanna tell you all everything, I do, but I'm just so exhausted from all the dancing.

Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Princess Cadance: Dancing?!

Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry: Oh.

Flash Sentry: We've got to stop bumping into each other like this.

Twilight Sparkle: Who was that?

Princess Cadance: He's a new member of the castle guard. Flash Sentry, I think. Why? Do you know him?

Twilight Sparkle: Not exactly.

Applejack: Oooh! Somepony's got a crush on the new guy!

Twilight Sparkle: No. No, I don't.

Rarity: [gasp] She does! She absolutely does!

Twilight Sparkle: Don't be ridiculous. I don't even know him. He just...

Pinkie Pie: Totally reminds you of a guy you met in the other world who played guitar, was in a band, and helped prove you didn't destroy all the decorations for a big dance, so you could still run for princess of the big dance, and then asked you to dance at that dance?! [big breath] Right?

Twilight Sparkle: How did you know that?

Pinkie Pie: Just a hunch!
