Episode transcript

Prologue: A letter from Sire's Hollow[]

No one respects the mailponies... except for Derpy.

Do you even read your mom's letters, Sunburst?

Since there are not a lot of babies in the Crystal Empire, there is so little call for a Crystaller.

Are you ok, Sunburst?

"Why am I yelling?!"

Starlight and Sunburst's mission[]

Aww, Burstie needs hugs! :3

Look at the bright side, Twilight isn't making you a nervous wreck this time.

Train ride to Sire's Hollow[]

That's not true, Starlight. You are a wonderful pony.

"Do you really think that will work?"

"Nope!"

The more things change[]

Enter Firelight and Stellar Flare[]

"No 'pumpky-wumpkin's in public!"

It's not funny, Sunburst!

"Sorry chipmunk..." (That's even worse)

Get your hoof off of me!

If you two are going to fight, you should sell some tickets.

Starlight and Sunburst's parents[]

Preservation vs. development[]

"Welcome to Sire's Hollow!"

Twilight would declare this a crime against literacy.

"Welcome to Sire's Hollow!"

In yo face!

Eww, Gross

Man, this is sooo stale!

This is the kind of food only Maud could chew.

What did they use? Flour or Cement Mix?

Sorry, Starlight

"Welcome to Sire's Hollow!"
"Welcome to Sire's Hollow!"

"Okay, it's annoying. I get it."

Mission not complete[]

"Oh, goodness, look at my wrist, I gotta go."

Look at my flank

Escaping on tippy tip toe

Where do you think you're going, Sunburst?

Somepony went through quite a childhood phase.

Oh, Celestia, no.

Can you give us a second?

"I think I liked it better when they were fighting." (We all do, Sunburst)

Firelight and Stellar Flare's help[]

Hey! That blanket got a kite on it!

Awww, my li'l Glimmy-Wimmy is so CUTE!

This...is...humiliating

That's your cue, ladies.

No concern for personal hygiene? These mares don't get out much, do they?

Hiding from the parents / Secret meeting[]

We don't want your help![]

"...And then, I thought the best way to look for a friendship problem in the present..."

"Dad!"

"...was to look back in our town history even farther!"

"Sunburst! Oh, finally!"

"Now, I know you don't want me to make up a problem..."

"That's not how this—!"

"I mean, nopony ever became a success..."

"...by following all the rules, right?"

"How are things on your end?"

"Couldn't be better!"

"New leads and such!"

"Guys...?"

"We really are providing excellent assistance, aren't we?"

"Guys!"

"I dare say our children should be grateful for our help."

"Guys!"

"We don't want your help!"

Friendship mission breakdown[]

"Because you're driving us CRAZY!"

And you...you're no better!

"That's what all of us think." (We're afraid they're right, Sunburst and Starlight)

"Why couldn't we have been sent..."

"...to stop a war or something?!"

The moment you realize that Starlight caused a war.

Apologies and asking for help[]

A friendship problem we already had[]

Epilogue: A parent is a friend too[]

Here we go again...

Ha ha ha...

Please help us.
