Bon Bon's Diary

Clover: Hmm...that cake sure smells good, Bon Bon!
Bon Bon: Yeah, but we'd better clean up before my Mum gets home.
Clover: OK, I'll do the dishes.
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon! Clover! Look at this mess!
Bon Bon: We'll clean it up, Mum! We'll dust and mop and make the kitchen sparkle!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon, I don't mind if you bake, but shouldn't you be studying for that maths test tomorrow?
Bon Bon: Can I put the frosting on first?
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon! Your father and I expect you to get good marks!
Bon Bon: But Mum, maths is so hard!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Not as hard as giving up cooking, which you'll have to do if you don't do well on the test!
Bon Bon: No more cooking?

Miss. Hackney: All right, students! One minute left to complete the test. Time! Everybody put down your pencils and send your test papers forward!

Teddy: Hey, Bon Bon! How did you do on the test? I probably got an A, and I didn't even study!
Bon Bon: Come on, Teddy! You never got an A in your life!
Teddy: Oh yeah? We'll see who gets an A!
Bon Bon: Dear Diary,
Today was the worst day of my life. I did something I never did before - I cheated. It was a terrible ting to do, and I never should have done it. But I didn't want to disappoint Mum and Dad...instead, I disappointed myself.

Starlight: Here you go, Bon Bon! One Triple Decker Supreme with a cherry. It's usually two jangles, but for you, one of my best friends, two jangles.
Bon Bon: OK.
Starlight: That was a joke. I was trying to cheer you up. What's the problem?
Bon Bon: I can't... You don't want to know. You said two jangles? MY DIARY'S MISSING!!!
Starlight: Missing? Quick, everybody! We have to oranise a search party!
Patch: There's nothing like a good hunt to fire up your day! Let's go!
Starlight: But remember one thing...whoever finds that diary, don't open it! It's personal.
Bon Bon: Starlight's right. What's inside it is...
Bright Eyes: We understand perfectly, Bon Bon! We're all your friends. We wouldn't want someone to know our private secrets, would we?
All: No! Uh-uh! Nope! Oh dear, no!
Bon Bon: Secrets, secrets,
What if someone knew...
My secrets, secrets,
Think of how embarrassed I would be,
If they knew the secret side of me!
Sweetheart: I like Teddy, but I can't confess it,
Melody: My secret hide-out's where no-one would guess it!
Patch: Not as courageous as I'm painted,
I saw a mouse last week and almost fainted!
Bright Eyes: Once I got locked in alone for hours!
Clover: I broke my mother's favourite vase for flowers
All: Don't know what I'd do,
I'd die if people knew,
My secrets!
Starlight: It's the truth, though no-one is the wiser,
Miss Hackney is my personal adviser!
Bon Bon: What if all the kids should start repeating,
I got an A in maths by cheating?
All: Secrets, secrets,
Everybody has...
Their secrets, secrets,
Wouldn't want to give my own away!
If you've got a secret it should stay...
Bon Bon: Secret, secret, secret, secret! Shhh!
Patch: Sorry, Bon Bon. I came up empty.
Bright Eyes: Me too!
Bon Bon: Oh, what am I going to do?

Sweetheart: Think positive, Bon Bon! Somebody will find your diary!
Bon Bon: But what if it's the wrong somebody? Wait! I didn't look here!
Sweetheart: Come on, we'll be late for school!
Bon Bon: You go ahead! I'll be right there!
Teddy: Lose something?
Bon Bon:: Like what?
Teddy: Like, "Dear Diary, Last night I snuck a piece of chocolate cake from the fridge."?
Bon Bon: You found it! Give it back!
Teddy: Not so fast! I think you should carry my books to school - they're VERY heavy!
Bon Bon: I will not!
Teddy: I bet Miss Hackney would love to read your diary, especially the part about...
Bon Bon: Give me your books.
Teddy: And, I want you to bake me one of your special cakes!
Bon Bon: Anything else?
Teddy: Hmmm...tell me again how handsome I am.
Bon Bon: Very.
Teddy: And smart?
Bon Bon: The smartest.
Teddy: Then how you'd like to go to the school dance with me!
Bon Bon: I hate you!
Teddy: Bon Bon! Is that a yes, or a no?

Miss Hackney: Before I return your maths test, I want to announce that the highest mark was achieved by Bon Bon. She earned an A+ because she didn't miss one single problem. Congratulations, Bon Bon!
Bon Bon: Er...thank you, Miss Hackney...
Teddy: Miss Hackney!
Miss Hackney: Yes, Teddy?
Teddy: I found something you might want!
Bon Bon: No!
Miss Hackney: And what is it, Teddy?
Teddy: Your eraser.
Bon Bon: Phew!
Teddy: It could have been worse! Don't forget about the dance!

Bon Bon: Hi, Mum.
Mrs. Bon Bon: Hello, dear. How did you do on the maths test?
Bon Bon: I got an A...*Sobs*
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon? Are you all right? If you got an A on your test, why are you crying?
Bon Bon: Because, because I'm so happy! *Sobs*
Mrs. Bon Bon: Well, try not to be quite so happy. All right, dear?
Bon Bon: I'll try. Hi, Sweetheart? It's Bon Bon.
Sweetheart: Hi! Did you find your diary?
Bon Bon: Not exactly...
Sweetheart: Not exactly?
Bon Bon: I was just wondering if you knew somebody...who knew somebody who found something...and...and...wouldn't give it back?
Sweetheart: Did Teddy take your diary?
Bon Bon: Well, I can't say that.
Sweetheart: You mean it's not Teddy?
Bon Bon: Well, I can't say that either!
Sweetheart: Well then, what can you say?
Bon Bon: I...I've said enough already. It's my problem, not yours. I'm sorry to bother you, Sweetheart. Good night.
Sweetheart: It's no bother, Bon Bon. Good night.
Bon Bon: *Sighs* I can't go on living like this! I have to tell Miss Hackney the truth!

Teddy: Yeah...er...Teddy here!
Sweetheart: It's Sweetheart.
Teddy: Hello. What's up, Sweetheart?
Sweetheart: I heard a rumour that maybe, just possibly, you know who has Bon Bon's diary?
Teddy: Sweetheart! Not true!
Sweetheart: I sorta, kinda didn't think so 'cause you know what it's like to have a secret you don't want anybody to know about, right? I mean you wouldn't want anyone, or anybody at all to know that you have a...
Teddy: Don't say it!
Sweetheart: Actually, there's really, truly nothing wrong with having a...
Teddy: No!
Sweetheart: Then again if someone were to know that you had a...
Teddy: OK, I get the message!
Sweetheart: I knew it! Anyone who has the...you know what...can't be all bad.

Teddy: Er...Bon Bon!
Bon Bon: I don't want to talk to you, Teddy!
Teddy: But...I have something to tell you!
Bon Bon: I'm not interested. I'm telling Miss Hackney what I did. So you can't blackmail me anymore. Go away!
Teddy: But wait! You don't understand!

Bon Bon: It was the first time I... Cheating is not... Oh, it's a bad thing. I'll never ever do it again. I promise, Miss Hackney.
Miss Hackney: I believe you, Bon Bon.
Bon Bon: You..you can give me an F if you want. I deserve it.
Miss Hackney: I have a better idea. After school, I want you to take the test again. Oh, by the way, I think this belongs to you!
Bon Bon: But how did you...where did you find it?
Miss Hackney: I didn't. Teddy turned it in before you got here.
Bon Bon: He did?
Miss Hackney: He said he found it in the bushes, but you probably want it back.
Bon Bon: Then you knew I'd cheated on the test before I told you?
Miss Hackney: How could I know that?
Bon Bon: Well, it was in...I wrote it in my diary!
Miss Hackney: Bon Bon, do you think I'd read something so personal? No.

Bon Bon: *Laughs*
Teddy: Hi! Er...how did you do on the test?
Bon Bon: I got a C! C+ actually!
Teddy: Wait! I...er...I just wanted to say I'm sorry. You see, I...er...I wanted to take you to the dance, but I thought you'd say no, so as soon as I saw your diary, I, er...
Bon Bon: Why didn't you just ask me? Maybe I would have gone.
Teddy: Well, I was afraid to take the chance.
Bon Bon: You still want to go?
Teddy: Yeah, sure! But I can't. My dad grounded me 'cause I failed the test.
Bon Bon: You told me you got an A. And you didn't even study!
Teddy: Well, that was half true. I didn't study.
Bon Bon: Maybe next time we'll study together! Want some cookies? I was just going home to bake some!
Teddy: Yeah, great!
Bon Bon: Carry my books, OK?
Teddy: Sure! I'll do anything you want!
Bon Bon: Just forget what you read in my diary, OK?
Teddy: Hey, I only read a couple of pages anyway. I'm a real slow reader, honest!

Just For Kicks

Bon Bon: I'm out of gas! I have to stop!
Starlight: That blueberry muffin you had for breakfast must be slowing you down.
Patch: And the one you had for lunch too!
All: *Laughs*
Clover: Ooops...sorry! Oh gosh, I'm so clumsy!

Bon Bon: Phew! That was a tough work-out!
Bright Eyes: Exercise is very important, Bon Bon. It's good for your circulation and your metabolism.
Bon Bon: Gee, I didn't even know I'd had a metabolobolism!
Health Bar Assistant: OK, one carrot supreme, two fruit floats, one more carrot supreme, one combo, and my personal favourite, a squash squish!
All: Hey, great!
Health Bar Assistant: That'll be six jangles.
Starlight: Hmmm...Another squash squish, please? I'm really thirsty.
Ace: Howdy, everybody!
All: Hi, Ace!
Starlight: Hi, Ace! Heard you were made captain of the soccer team.
Ace: So what do you expect? Hey, Patch! Hustle up, practise time. Coach wants us sharp for the big game.
Patch: Oh, I love big games! The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat!
Melody: Hi, gang! Sorry I'm late. Our band rehearsal ran overtime. The Rockin' Beats were rockin' today!
Health Bar Assistant: Here's your squash squish, Starlight.
Ace: For you, Melody.
Melody: Forget it, Ace! Got to go work out! Bye!
Ace: Oh well. Here. Let's go, Patch.
Sweetheart: You really, truly, honestly like Ace, don't you, Starlight?
Starlight: Uh-huh! Only Ace likes Melody.
Bon Bon: But Melody doesn't like Ace.
Bright Eyes: Well, if you ask me, I think Ace likes Ace better than anyone!
Starlight: Maybe it's me. Maybe I need to change.
Maybe a new hair-do,
Something with a braid,
Add to that a ribbon,
Of a brilliant shade!
When he sees me dressed up,
That boy will stop and stare,
He'll realise we make a perfect pair!
Going for a picnic,
Skating on a lake,
I can see in my mind's eye,
The outings we would take.
Give me a bandana,
One he can't ignore,
Braceletes ought to make him,
Like me even more!
If I change completely,
He'll become aware,
That she and he....*Giggles*...I mean ME and he!
We make a perfect pair!
We make a perfect pair...

Coach: Keep it moving! Keep your heads up! Don't look at the ball!
Starlight: Nice dribbling, Ace! What am I? Invisible?
Coach: All right, all right! That's enough! Ace, work on your goal kicks! The rest of you, over here!
Ace: Right, Coach!
Starlight: Maybe if I was a soccer ball, he'd like me better.
Ace: Melody!
Melody: Oh no!
Ace: *Laughs*

Starlight: I...I don't understand.
Miss Hackney: Now, if you want Ace to like you, you need to get closer to him. Find a common interest. Maybe you should try out for the soccer team.
Starlight: But I'm not very good.
Miss Hackney: That doesn't matter. Just being there with him might make the difference.
Starlight: Hmmm...thanks for the advice, Miss Hackney. And please don't tell anybody we talked, OK?
Miss Hackney: If I told somebody, I wouldn't be your secret adviser, would I?

Coach: Not bad, not bad.
Patch: Way to go, Starlight!
Coach: Heads up, Starlight! Great shot! She's not bad.
Ace: Huh! For a girl...
Coach: OK now, Starlight. Dribble around Ace and you're on the team.
Starlight: *Gulp* Around Ace? But he's...he's...
Ace: The greatest?
Starlight: Uh-huh.
Patch: You can do it, Starlight!
Starlight: Ouch! AGH!
Patch: Are you all right?
Starlight: I guess so.
Ace: I just went for the ball!
Starlight: *Sobs*
Patch: Ace, you stink!

Starlight: Tried out for the team,
And it was gruesome,
It's plain to see,
That you and me,
Are not the perfect twosome.
All that I had wished for,
Now has gone to ruin,
Every hope and daydream,
Burst like a balloon.
It's high-time that I faced it,
I don't have a prayer,
That boy and I,
Must say goodbye -
We're not a perfect pair.
Patch: Starlight! I've been looking all over for you! You made the team!
Starlight: I...I did?
Patch: Uh-huh! Coach said you were pretty good, 'til Ace made you nervous.
Starlight: What did Ace say?
Patch: Who cares! Listen - come sun up tomorrow, with the big game on the horizon, and school pride is at stake, we're all on the same team. Remember, one for all...
Starlight: ...And all for one!

Crowd: *Cheers*
Coach: Great save, great save!
Starlight: Come on, Patch! Come on, Ace! Ooh...one minute to play!
Soccer playing pony: Agh!
Coach: Oh no!
Soccer playing pony: My ankle!
Referee: Time up!
Soccer playing pony: I can't play any more, Coach.
Coach: Now what? Starlight, you're in the game.
Starlight: Me? *Gulp*
Ace: Her? Coach, she's just a novice!
Coach: Stop arguing! There's only 30 seconds left. Run play 29.
Ace: OK, just get me the ball, Patch. We can't count on Starlight.
Patch: You'll get it if you're open.
Ace: I'll be open.
Referee: Let's play!
Coach: Starlight, get out there! We don't have all day!
Ace: Yo, Patch! Let me have the ball!
Patch: Starlight! Heads up!
Coach: Kick it!
Patch: Great shot!
Coach: We won! We won! Ye-he-he-hey!
Starlight: I did it!
Ace: Oh no!
Patch: You did it, Starlight, you did it!
Starlight: Where is Ace?

Starlight: ...And I only went out for the team so Ace would notice me.
Bon Bon: He noticed you all right.
Patch: He's just upset because he wasn't the hero!
Starlight: Ace?
Patch: Come on, Bon Bon. I want to show you something over there.
Ace: I...er...I...Sorry I left like that...I...er...Nice kick.
Starlight: Oh, I was just lucky. *Giggles*
Ace: No, it was good. Matter of fact, that's why I stopped by. I thought we could talk about your technique.
Starlight: Oh, really?
We make a.......
Ace: Yeah...er, did you...
...Perfect pair!
Starlight: Well, actually, it all happened so fast. I don't really remember.
Ace: Well, maybe we could practise together some time - just the two of us. Like, how about saturday?

Slumber Party

Starlight: It's...it's a fairytale.
Bon Bon: What's the first word?
Melody: Floor! The first word's floor.
Clover: No! Not floor!
Sweetheart: Clover! You're not supposed to talk!
Clover: I forgot.
Patch: I know - Stamp!
Sweetheart: Uh-uh! Stomp!
Bright Eyes: Wait! It's three. The number three.
Bon Bon: Oh, "Snow White And The Three Dwarfs"!
Starlight: Bon Bon, there were seven dwarfs.
Bon Bon: Sorry.
Patch: All right, what's the second word?
Sweetheart: Your stomach hurts?
Bright Eyes: Why, you're a ball.
Melody: Um...small...er...tiny...little...
Starlight: I've got it - "Three Little Pigs"!
Clover: That's it! That's it!
Mr. Sweetheart: OK, if you're through playing charades, who wants an ice cream sundae?
All: *Cheers*
Sweetheart: Great slumber party, huh, Mum?
Mrs. Sweetheart: The best, Sweetheart.

Bright Eyes: You know, ice-cream is rich in protein, calcium and Vitamin A.
Sweetheart: Gee, you're so smart, Bright Eyes.
Starlight: Here comes another scoop of Vitamin A.
Sweetheart: Can I put the cherry on top now?
Bon Bon: Not yet! Stand back!
All: Ugh! No! Yuck!
Melody: It's snack-time!
All: Hmmm! Yum! Delicious!
Sweetheart: Now?
All: NOW!!!
Sweetheart: Perfect! What was that?
All: *Screams* Oh no!
Sweetheart: What happened?
Clover: The power's out!
Patch: Could be the work of ghosts...
Mr. Sweetheart: Now, Patch, there are no such things as ghosts. You know that!
Melody: Hey, look! Somebody caught some ice-cream!
Bon Bon: Hmmm...Maybe it was a ghost.
All: *Giggles*
Sweetheart: All right, let's eat!
All: Hmmm! Yum! Delicious!
Mrs. Sweetheart: As soon as you've finished, everybody hit the shower - it's bedtime!

Bright Eyes (as Miss Hackney): All right, children, there will be no sleeping until everyone has finished their homework. Is that perfectly clear? Hm?
All: *Giggles*
Bright Eyes (as Miss Hackney): Miss. Sweetheart, I don't believe you've finished your homework. Naughty, naughty!
Sweetheart: Yes, I did! I did too!
Patch: Miss Hackney?
Bright Eyes (as Miss Hackney): Yes, Patch.
Patch: Catch!
Bright Eyes: Agh!
All: *Giggles*
Starlight: Hey, Patch?
Patch: What? Oh!
All: *Giggles*
Mrs. Sweetheart: Ahem! I thought I said bedtime! Sleep tight, little ponies.

All: *Screams*
Sweetheart: I'm scared. It's like a bad dream!
Bright Eyes: Oh, it's just a storm.
Patch: A perfect storm for a ghost story!
Clover: Oh no. No ghost stories. No, uh-uh-uh! No!
Bon Bon: Yeah, Clover's right. No ghosts!
Patch: What's the matter with all of you? You're not scared, are you?
Starlight: I'm not.
Melody: Me either!
Sweetheart: But my parents - we're supposed to be sleeping!
Patch: They'll never know.
Starlight: For a ghost story, we need to build a tent. Come on!

Patch: Once upon a time, a long time ago, a very long time ago, there lived a little pony named Squire, who lived in a big castle on the hill - not too far from here.
Sweetheart: Here?
Patch: Just beyond Paradise Lake. Now Squire wasn't too much older than we are, and he wanted to be a knight. His father took him inside one rainy evening, and told him...
Patch (As Squire's Father): "Squire, if it is a knight you desire to be, then you must tame a dragon."
Patch (As Squire): "A dragon?"
Patch (As Squire's Father): "Not just any dragon, but the dragon named Basil."
Melody: Basil?
Patch: Shhh! Now, the father told Squire that Basil lived in a cave, deep in the darkest parts of the forest. The next morning, Squire ventured into the misty forest. His father had given him his own sword, in case of trouble, and trouble was exactly what he found. A serpent dropped from a tree and wound himself around Squire's neck! The serpent hissed at Squire, but Squire bravely stuck out his tongue...and hissed right back! Afraid, the serpent slithered away, and Squire didn't even have to use his sword, which he really didn't want to use anyway. Later that morning, Squire found Basil's cave. Somewhere inside was the dragon!
Basil: *Roooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhrrrr!*
Sweetheart: Was that you, Patch?
Starlight: Quiet, Sweetheart!
Patch: Then, Squire sucked up his courage, and went into the cave! He knew the dragon was inside, but he didn't know where. Suddenly, flames shot out of the darkness! In the light from the flames, he found a torch, probably left there by another knight who would never again see the light of day. Using the dragon's own fire, Squire lit the torch, then moved deeper into the cave. Dark shadows, strange shapes, danced on the rocky walls...when all of a sudden THE DRAGON APPEARED!
Patch (As Squire): "Basil!"
Patch: Said Squire, staring up at the giant monster,
Patch (As Squire): "I shall tame you!"
Patch: Said Squire to the dragon,
Patch (As Squire): "I shall be a knight!"
Patch: But Squire never got the chance. Basil burned a hole in the ground, and Squire fell into it!
Sweetheart: What happened to Squire?
Patch: By the time he crawled out of the hole, Basil was gone. Squire never saw him again.
Clover: He should have taken me along for good luck.
All: *Giggles*
Patch: Go ahead, make fun. But they say Squire is still somewhere in Ponyland, searching for his dragon.
Bon Bon: It's Squire!
Melody: Yeah, right! He's probably in the attic looking for Basil.
Clover: You heard Sweetheart's Dad. Th...Th...There aren't any ghosts!
Sweetheart: I'll go get my parents.
Patch: No! Squire will run away if you do! I'm going up there.
Starlight: I'm going with you.
Bright Eyes: Me too!
Melody: Patch, wait for us!

Sweetheart: It's not working.
Patch: Squire?
Clover: OK, he's not here! Let's go!
Starlight: Maybe he's hiding.
Patch: Let's check it out!
Bon Bon: Wait! What if the dragon is in here?
Patch: There it is!
All: *Screams*
Patch: It's him!
Melody: It's the dragon!
Sweetheart: It's Basil! Careful, Starlight!
Starlight: *Sighs* Nothing to be afraid of!
In the night shapes may seem fearful,
In the light, they're much more cheerful!
Things are not always what they seem!
Some things bump and clank and rattle,
Don't go jumping into battle!
Things are not always what they seem!
Half asleep, you hear a peep,
And leap to a conclusion,
All alone, you start to moan,
But it's only an illusion!
When the breeze makes curtains flutter,
And your knees feel weak as butter,
Think is it real or just a dream!
You may need more information,
Could be just your imagination,
Things are not always what they seem!
Oh no!
Things are not always what they seem!
All: *Giggles followed by screams*
Clover: It's Basil!
Sweetheart: No, it's Springfield. Springfield...
Bright Eyes: Heavens, she must have gotten locked out in the rain...
Starlight: ...and come in through the window!
Bon Bon: Phew! So the noise wasn't a ghost after all!
Patch: Well, I was hoping it was.

Patch: *Gasp* Squire?
Squire: Hello, Patch. I wanted to thank you for telling my story.
Patch: Er...sure. Any time.
Squire: Now I must continue the search for my dragon. If ever you see Basil, let me know.
Patch: Er...you can count on me, Squire!
Squire: Farewell, Patch. Thank you again.
Patch: So long, Squire!
Starlight: Er...who are you talking to?
Patch: I was talking to...nobody. It was just a dream. Or maybe it wasn't!

Too Sick To Notice

Bon Bon: *Humming My Little Pony Tales Theme Tune*
Amber: Whatcha doing, Bon Bon?
Bon Bon: Getting ready. Father's taking me to the cinema today.
Amber: Whatcha gonna see?
Baby Pony: Atchoooooo! A-a-a-atchooooooooo!
Bon Bon: Wow! What was that? Sounds like the house is coming apart!
Amber: Come on!
Baby Pony: A-a-a-aaaaa-tchoooooooooooo!
Bon Bon: Look at this stuff!
Amber: *Giggles* It looks like snow.
Baby Pony: Aaaa-aaaa-aaa-aaaaaa-tchoooooooo!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Aww, that's an awfully big sneeze for such a little guy!
Baby Pony: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-TCHOOOOOOOOOOO!
Bon Bon: What's going on?
Mr. Bon Bon: Uh-oh! Looks like he got you too, Bon Bon.
Amber: Why's he exploding?
Mr. Bon Bon: He's not exploding, Amber, he's sneezing. Poor Baby Pony is sick.
Bon Bon: Is he going to be OK?
Mr. Bon Bon: He'll be fine - it's just a bad cold. But I'm not so sure about his room!
Bon Bon: Phew! Good! Then we can still go to the cinema?
Mr. Bon Bon: Ah, I'm afraid not. I have to get Baby Pony some medicine.
Bon Bon: But...but you promised!
Mr. Bon Bon: Bon Bon, I have to make sure he gets well.

Baby Pony: *Blows nose*
Bon Bon: Mother, will you braid my hair please?
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon, I'd love to. But I can't very well do your hair and cradle Baby Pony at the same time, can I? Why don't you ask Misty?
Bon Bon: OK. Misty, Misty, Misty!
Misty: Ow! Bon Bon! Look what you made me do! Now I have to start all over!
Bon Bon: Sorry, but I...
Misty: Shh! I have to concentrate!
Bon Bon: I have to have someone do my hair!
Misty: I have to help with Baby Pony! He is sick, you know?
Bon Bon: OK. Maybe Rusty will play a game with me. Have you seen him?
Rusty: Over here!
Bon Bon: Rusty? Aaaah!
Rusty: Didn't mean to scare you!
Bon Bon: *Laughs* Hey, this is fun! *Laughs*
Rusty: This isn't a game, Bon Bon! I'm trying to help Mother with the laundry. Baby Pony is sick, you know?!
Bon Bon: I know, I know.
Rusty: Now I have to sort it all over again! Isn't there something you can play with in your room?
Bon Bon: How does one sick baby pony get this much attention? I'm so sick of Baby being sick!
All my toys are boring,
No-one wants to play,
People keep ignoring me,
No matter what I say.
All this fuss of Baby Brother,
Because he has the flu,
But I would like a little attention too!
Everyone is busy,
Running here and there,
I could fall down dizzy,
And I bet no-one would care.
All because they heard my brother,
Start to cough and sneeze,
Well, I would like a little attention, please!
They all act,
As if I don't exist,
Were I to disappear, it's clear,
I would not be missed.
*Coughs* Hmmmm...
Baby Brother's pampered,
I'd like that a lot,
But I'm slightly hampered,
Because he's ill, and I am not.
But suppose that Dad and Mother,
Thought that I was sick,
Bet you anything that would do the trick!
Oh yes!
That would get me a lot of attention quick!

Bon Bon: *Coughs*
Mrs. Bon Bon: Did someone just cough?
Mr. Bon Bon: I heard it too.
Misty: It wasn't me.
Rusty: Me either!
Bon Bon: I think it was me...Aw...aw-ugh...yes, it was definitely me! *Coughs*
Rusty: Hey, Bon Bon! What's going on?
Misty: Gee, are you OK?
Bon Bon: Yeah...I mean no...I don't think I feel very good. Aww... Ugh!
Mr. Bon Bon: She looks very pale.
Mrs. Bon Bon: And she feels warm.
Misty: Oh no! Poor Bon Bon is sick too.
Bon Bon: Oh yeah, that's it. I'm sick too!
Misty: I've finished the baby bottles, Bon Bon. Now I'll read you some stories so you won't get bored.
Mr. Bon Bon: Hmm, looks like I need to make a special trip to the store for some medicine especially for Bon Bon!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Where does it hurt, Bon Bon?
Bon Bon: Umm...er...ooooh!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Oh, poor Bon Bon! You hurt everywhere?
Bon Bon: Er...Uh-huh... Oh, I'll get it! Ohh...ahhh...
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon! Should you be running around like that? Let Misty get the phone!
Misty: Oh, hi Starlight! Oh, sorry, Bon Bon can't go with you to the cinema today. She's sick in bed.
Bon Bon: Oh well, could be worse.
Misty: Bon Bon would love to go rollerskating, Patch. Maybe some other day - today she's really sick. Oh...hi, Melody!
Bon Bon: Let me guess! She wants me to go to a concert?
Misty: What? You have an extra ticket to the Cleveland Bays concert, and backstage passes?! Well, Bon Bon's going to be sorry to miss that, but she's not feeling well.
Bon Bon: I think I AM going to be sick!
Mr. Bon Bon: Here, Bon Bon. This should make you feel better.
Bon Bon: A present? For me?
Mr. Bon Bon: Well, not exactly. It's your medicine.
Bon Bon: Er...Thanks, Dad.

Bon Bon: Orange juice? I've changed my mind. I think I'd like apple juice.
Amber: But that's what you said before!
Bon Bon: *Coughs*
Amber: *Sighs* It's OK...
Bon Bon: Er...when you see Twink, tell him to bring more cookies!
Amber/Twink Owwwww! Ooh!
Bon Bon: Amber! Twink! What a mess!

Misty: Oh no! I've put pudding in the baby bottle!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Oh, that's all right, dear.
Bon Bon: Misty! Mother! You'd better come in here!
Mrs. Bon Bon: I'll take care of Bon Bon this time.
Misty: Thank you, Mother.

Mrs. Bon Bon: Oh my!
Mr. Bon Bon: *Sighs* Here's your "Ponybeat" magazine.
Rusty: And "Teen Pony", "Super Teen Pony" and "Cosmo Pony".
Bon Bon: Thanks, but this is from last month. Could you go back to the store?
Mr. Bon Bon: Back to the store?
Bon Bon: *Coughs* Please, Father? I just have to have the new issue!
Mr. Bon Bon: What's that? Smoke?
Mrs. Bon Bon: Oh no! My dinner!
Mr. Bon Bon: Bon Bon, honey! You belong in bed!
Bon Bon: But...
Mr. Bon Bon: No buts! We don't want you getting any sicker!

Bon Bon: Dear Diary, My whole family is working so hard because they think I'm sick, BUT I'M NOT!!!
Baby Pony: *Giggles*
Bon Bon: I've been a bad baby.
Baby Pony: *Giggles*
Toy sheep: Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Bon Bon: You don't have to rub it in.

Mrs. Bon Bon: Where is Bon Bon?
Mr. Bon Bon: She was here a minute ago. I'm sure of it.
Bon Bon: Here I am.
Mrs. Bon Bon: Is something wrong? Do you feel worse?
Bon Bon: Yes, but I'm not sick!
Mr. Bon Bon: You feel worse, but you're not sick? I don't get it.
Bon Bon: I...I was never sick. I just wanted you to pay attention to me like you did to Baby. I'm sorry.
Mr. Bon Bon: But you're not sick! That's good news, isn't it?
Mrs. Bon Bon: Oh, we have been busy with Baby, but that doesn't mean we love you any less, dear.
Bon Bon: You mean, you're not cross with me?
Mr. Bon Bon: Well, we're not happy that you mislead us, but we are happy you're not sick!
Bon Bon: I'm going to make it up to you! I'm going to help take care of Baby, I can clean the kitchen and for dinner I'll make my...er...YOUR favourite dessert!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Well, that sounds wonder...Oh! Oh, I don't think I feel very good!
Mr. Bon Bon: Ooh! Me either!
Misty: A-a-a-ATCHOO! A-a-a-ATCHOO!
Bon Bon: Looks like we've got three more sick ponies!
Rusty: Make that four.
Amber: Us too!
Bon Bon: Don't worry. I'll take care of each and every one of you. But first, I have to check on the baby.
Baby Pony: *Giggles*
Bon Bon: Feeling better and ready to play, huh? When I was little Potsy Pan Fan was my favourite game!
Misty: Bon Bon! I don't feel good!
Mr. Bon Bon: Bon Bon! Could you get me my book?
Mrs. Bon Bon: Oh, it's too hot in here!
Rusty: I'm cold!
Amber: Yeah, I want another blankie, Bon Bon!
Bon Bon: This will make you feel better. I know it doesn't taste good, but it makes you feel better! There, there now. It's OK. You'll feel better soon. I'll be right back.
Starlight: I thought you were sick!
Bon Bon: I'm fine now. I just needed a little attention.
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon! Can you find that new magazine for me?
Mr. Bon Bon: And then will you change the channel on the television?
Misty: I'd like a glass of water.
Rusty: Do I need more medicine yet?
Amber: I want my blankie!!!
Bon Bon: But now I've got all the attention I can handle! Isn't it great? I'm coming! Now you stay put - I'll get that magazine. Is this the right channel? Here's your blanket, I'll get your medicine. What magazine was that you wanted...

Battle Of The Bands

Mrs. Melody: How's the new song coming, Melody?
Melody: Hmm...I'm stuck, Mum. I can't think of a word that rhymes with orange.
Mrs. Melody: That's because there is none.
Melody: There isn't?
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Melody, come quick! PTV! Dazzle!
Dazzle: Don't forget Thursday night is the big one! PTV is hosting the first annual Battle Of The Bands to find the best new band in Ponyland! Any of you cool Little Ponies out there, if you've got the band, come on down Thursday night and show us what you can do!
Melody: Wow! A music contest! And the chance to appear live on PTV! Mum, can I go? The Rock 'n' Beats can win, I know we can!
Mrs. Melody: Well, don't forget, Thursday is my night to work at the hospital, but if you can get a babysitter for the twins...
Melody: No problem! But right now I've got to practise! See you!

Melody: Wait, wait, wait! Hold it! It's too slow!
Half Note: Gee, Melody! It sounded good to me.
Melody: Yeah, it was good, Half Note. But we need to be GREAT to win the Battle Of The Bands.
Sweet Tunes: Melody's right.
Melody: A 1, a 2, a 1.2.3!
Melody and the Rock 'n' Beats: Sweet Music,
Ooh, Sweet Music,
That's what I hear when you appear!
Sweet Music,
Ooh, Sweet Music,
Life is a tune when you are near!
When you are gone,
The song just isn't there,
But then I see your face again,
And music fills the air,
Fills the air!
Sweet Music,
Ooh, Sweet Music,
I love the sound when you're around!
Sweet Music,
Ooh, Sweet Music,
Beautiful harmonies abound!
I know our song will never die!
Never die!
We make Sweet Music you and I,
You and I!
We make Sweet Music you and I!

Melody: Think the French scarf with green bracelets would look better.
Mrs. Melody: You look wonderful, dear! Oh, by the way, who did you get to babysit?
Melody: Oh no! I forgot! We've been so busy practising! What if it's too late? What if I can't get anybody? Maybe you could call in sick?
Mrs. Melody: I can't do that! Everyone at the hospital depends on me to be there!
Melody: But the Rock 'n' Beats are depending on me! I have to go!
Mrs. Melody: I'm sorry, Melody. It was your responsibility to get a babysitter. Unless you do, I'm afraid you'll have to stay home.

Melody: Is Patch there? It's Melody.
Mrs. Patch: I'm sorry, Melody. Patch is at soccer practise.
Sweetheart: I wish I could help you out, Melody. I really, truly do, but I really, truly can't. We're taking inventory.
Starlight: Sorry, Melody, I can't do it!
Bon Bon: I can't, Melody. I've been grounded. If Mum knew I was even talking to you, she'd ground me forever!
Melody: *Sighs* What am I going to tell the Rock 'n' Beats? Ack!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: *Giggles*
Melody: Jing-a-Ling! That's it, you two! You're going to get it!
Tunefull: Let's go, Melody! Time to shine!
Melody: I...I can't go. I have to babysit my sisters.
Half Note: What? You have to go! We need you!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Uh-oh!
Melody: I'm really sorry, Half Note. But...but there's nothing I can do about it now.
Tunefull: Man, you should have gotten a babysitter! That's what you should have done!
Sweet Tunes: Forget it, Tunefull! We're going anyway. From now on, we're the Rock 'n' Beats, minus one.
Half Note: And maybe we'll be just as good - maybe better.
Melody: Good luck.

Dazzle: OK, gangs! Here are the rules. When you sound off for your favourite bands that little score board over there will ring up the rattles! The louder the noise, the greater the fireworks, the higher the score! So shake up those clappers, and ed up your yappers! All right, let the Battle Of The Bands begin!
Pretty Beat: I sure wish Melody was here!

Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Mine! No, mine!
Dazzle: OK, Little Ponies! Time to pump up the volume! Let's hear it for Metaloids!
Audience: *Cheers*
Melody: Oooh, that's it! The Rock 'n' Beats need me! We're out of here! Mum didn't say where I had to babysit you! She'll never know.

Tunefull: Oh gosh, They're really good.
Sweet Tunes: So are we, Tunefull.
Pretty Beat: We'd be better if Melody was here.
Melody: I am here!
Sweet Tunes: Melody!
Tunefull: Just in time! We're on next!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Wheeeeeeeee! Sand! Me love sand! Me too! Make sand castle! Me be queen! No, I be queen! Timberrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Audience: *Excited cheers*
Dazzle: And they loved it!
Melody: The twins! Where'd they go?
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Uh-oh!
Dazzle: OK, Rock 'n' Beats! You're up!
Half Note: Let's go, Melody! We're on!
Melody: I can't! I have to find the twins! I'm responsible for them.
Tunefull: Great! Now we're minus one again.

Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Where are we? Hey! Rock 'n' Roll! Wow! *Giggles*

Dazzle: All right, folks! Now give a listen to our next band, The Rock 'n' Beats!
Rock 'n' Beats: Ooh, Sweet Music,
Ooh, ooh!
Ooh, Sweet Music,
Ooh, You are near!
When you are gone,
The song just isn't there...
Member of the audience: *Yawn* Wake me when they're finished!

Rock 'n' Beats (On TV): ...Fills the air!
Bright Eyes: The Rock 'n' Beats don't have a chance without Melody!


Melody: Ting-a-Ling? Jing-a-Ling?
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Over here, Melody! Can't catch us!
Melody: Be careful!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
Melody: Oh no!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Wheeeeeeee! *Giggles*
Melody: Here I come!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Hi, Melody!
Melody: Jump!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: No way! Afraid!
Melody: I'll save you!
Jing-a-Ling, Ting-a-Ling and Melody: Whoah! Whooo! Whoah...Aaaaaagggggghhh!
Rock 'n' Beats: Fills the air!
Melody: Sweet Music,
Rock 'n' Beats: Ooh, Sweet Music,
Melody: I love the sound when you're around!
Sweet Music,
Rock 'n' Beats: Ooh, Sweet Music,
Beautiful Harmonies Abound!
I know our song will never die!
Never die!
We make Sweet Music You and I!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Sweet Music, Sweet Music!
Rock 'n' Beats: We make Sweet Music You and I!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Sweet Music, Sweet Music!
Rock 'n' Beats: We make Sweet Music You and I!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: You and I!
Audience: *Madly excited applause*
Dazzle: I've heard about blowing away the competition, but you Rock 'n' Beats really did it!

Melody: I'll make you a deal. I won't tell Mum what you did, if you don't tell her what I did, OK?
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: No tell! Never.
Melody: *Laughs* I love you!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: Love you too!
Mrs. Melody: It's late!
Melody: Mum!
Mrs. Melody: How did it go tonight?
Melody: Hey, fine! No problem!
Mrs. Melody: Oh, congratulations on winning the contest!
Melody: You heard?
Mrs. Melody: I saw you. They had the Battle Of The Bands on the TV at the hospital!
Melody: Er...I can explain everything! Really I can!
Mrs. Melody: Not tonight, honey, OK? It is late.
Melody: It's a long story, Mum, but I sure learned my lesson. Next time I'll call a babysitter for sure, I promise!
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: No babysitter! We want Melody! We want Melody!

And The Winner Is...

Dazzle: Here we go, gang! The moment you've all been waiting for! Time to pick the lucky winner of our "See The Cleveland Bays Live" Contest! Round and round she goes - which little pony will get the last two tickets? Nobody knows! And the winner is...
Mrs. Clover: Clover!
Clover: What?
Mrs. Clover: Clover, it's time for school! You overslept!
Clover: Oh no! I was having a great dream! Dazzle was just going to announce who won the tickets to the concert and...
Mrs. Clover: What concert?
Clover: The Cleveland Bays! Everybody sent in a postcard. The drawing's today after school!
Mrs. Clover: Well, if you don't get a move on, you'll be spending "after school" with Miss Hackney!

Miss Hackney: The numerator is the number to the left or above the line in a fraction, and the denominator is the number to the right or below. Indicating the number of parts into which the whole is divided....
Clover: Everyone to my house for the drawing!
All: *Excited cheers*

Dazzle: Here we go, gang! The moment you've all been waiting for!
Bon Bon: I can't stand it! I'm so excited!
Dazzle: Time to pick the lucky winner of our "See The Cleveland Bays Live" Contest! Round and round she goes - which little pony will get the last two tickets?
Melody: Me, me, me!
Clover: Gee, this is just like my dream!
Sweetheart: What dream?
Starlight: Quiet! She's going to pick the winner!
Dazzle: Is this yours? And the winner is...Clover, from High Street West!
Clover: I won, I won, I won! *Laughs*
Sweetheart: It never ever fails.
Bright Eyes: Amazing. Clover's the luckiest Little Pony I've ever known.
Bon Bon: Great chips. Congratulations. Glad you won.
Clover: Bye, Bon Bon.
Melody: Yeah, later Clover. Got to make band practise.
Starlight: Me too. I have to go to work.
Clover: Bye, Melody! So long, Starlight! Thanks for coming!
Bright Eyes: I have to run, Clover. I have to get to the library before it closes. Enjoy the concert.
Clover: Bye, Bright Eyes...
Patch: To the winner go the spoils. See you, Clove!
Clover: Spoils? What are spoils?
Sweetheart: I'm really, truly happy for you, Clover.
Clover: Everyone else is upset.
Sweetheart: Not upset; disappointed. They're happy you won, but unhappy they didn't. See you lucky...I mean see you later.
Clover: Gee, I guess it's not easy to be a good sport. Even for friends...

Clover: Morning!
Postman: Well, Clover! You must be expecting something pretty important!
Clover: Important? I'll say important!
Postman: You just did! *Laughs* Uh...let's see, Clover...Clover...Clover...
Clover: I'm sure it's there.
Postman: Here it is!
Clover: Oh, thank you! Thank you!
Postman: Have a nice day!
Dazzle: Dear Clover, Congratulations! Enclosed are the two tickets you won to the Cleveland Bays Concert. Bring a friend and have a ball! See you there, Dazzle.
Clover: Bring a friend? But which friend? I have so many. How can I choose only one?
Pink or yellow in my hair,
I hate choosing what to wear,
A or B,
Don't ask me,
My head just starts to ache.
Somehow I just never know the choice I ought to make!
I find it so confusing to be faced with a decision,
I even fret choosing what to watch on television!
Bon Bon, Bright Eyes, Melody,
Or one of the other three?
Which is right?
That's my plight.
I don't know who to take!
Two seats only for the show,
Each of them deserves to go!
I wish there was some way to know,
The choice I ought to make!
Which choice I ought to make!
Hmmm...So who do I take? Which one? Hmm...

Starlight: One strawberry shake, and one rainbow straw! It's on the house, Clover.
Clover: Free? Why?
Starlight: Well, it's just my way of saying I'm sorry for leaving so soon after you won the tickets. It wasn't very nice of me.
Clover: You don't have to apologise. As a matter of fact, how would you like to go to the concert with me?
Starlight: Oh, are you serious?
Clover: Uh-huh!

Melody: Hi!
Clover: Melody!
Melody: I know I shouldn't do this, but I really want to go to that concert. Is it possible, could you...would you...can I go with you?
Clover: Well...gee...I mean, I know how much music and rock 'n' roll mean to you, so I guess if anyone should go to the concert, you should go - sure!
Melody: I can't believe it!

Sweetheart: I don't care that I'm not going to the concert.
Clover: You don't?
Sweetheart: Not a teensy, weensy bit!
Clover: You're the only one.
Sweetheart: Well, it's just a concert.
Clover: But it is the Cleveland Bays!
Sweetheart: There are more important things in life than the Cleveland Bays.
Clover: You're right, Sweetheart. I'm not going! You can have my ticket!
Sweetheart: Oh gee, oh gosh! This is really, truly unexpected!

Patch: Hold everything! Hold everything! Clover invited me!
Sweetheart: Maybe so! Maybe so! But she gave me her ticket!
Starlight: How can you two be going when she invited me?
Melody: And me!
Bon Bon: Me too!
Bright Eyes: Look, there she is!
Clover: Uh-oh!
Patch: Get her!
Starlight: Come on out, Clover! You have some explaining to do!
Clover: Can we do it later? I'm looking for something.
All: NOW!!!
Clover: I can explain everything.
Melody: We're waiting.
Clover: I...I guess I wasn't thinking very clearly.
Bon Bon: You can say that again.
Clover: Well, you see, I didn't know which one of you to invite, so I invited all of you.
Bright Eyes: That's commendable thought, Clover, but unfortunately there are only two tickets. We can't all go.
Clover: You're right. We can't. Wait! I have an idea!

Clover: We'll have a brand new drawing for the two tickets.
Mrs. Clover: And Clover's Dad is going to draw the names.
Mr. Clover: I can't see a thing!
Mrs. Clover: You're not supposed to, dear.
Clover: OK, Dad. Draw the first name!
Mrs. Clover: Winner number one is...Melody!
All: *Cheers*
Melody: I can't believe it. I get to see my favourite group; My idols! *Sighs*
Mrs. Clover: One more, dear.
Clover: Oh, come on, Dad! Pick one!
Mrs. Clover: And winner number two is...Clover!
Clover: I did it! I won again! I didn't mean to...

Crowd: *Cheers*
Melody: What's the matter, Clover? This is incredible! The lights, the stars...aren't you excited?
Clover: Yeah, I'm excited. I...I just feel bad about the others. It's just not the same without the whole gang here.
Melody: Oh, you're right. We usually do all the neatest stuff together.

Dazzle: It's only a couple of minutes to show time. Are you ready out there?
Crowd: Yeeeaaaahhhh!
Dazzle: Are you ready at home?
All: Yeah!
Bon Bon: Anyone see Melody or Clover yet?
Bright Eyes: Not me. Oh, I'll get it! Clover? Melody? What in the world are you doing here?
Melody: We missed you.
Clover: So we sold our tickets to someone, bought pizza, and here we are!
Bon Bon: I love pizza!
Clover: It just wouldn't be the same if we didn't watch the concert together.
Bright Eyes: Well, OK. Let's party!
All: *Cheers*
Dazzle: Hold on to your hats, Little Ponies! Because here come the Cleveland Bays, to blow the roof off! Let's hear it for them!
All: *Cheers*
Patch: Still feeling lucky, Clover?
Clover: You kidding? Having friends like you makes me the luckiest Little Pony in the world!

Stand By Me

Starlight: It's beautiful!
Bright Eyes: A mechanical marvel! Positively state-of-the-art!
Patch: And it's all yours?
Sweetheart: What's it do?
Melody: All the stuff that works! Records, plays music...I mean, look! It's got a gazillion buttons! Like this one - I'm not sure what it's for... Oh no!
Teddy: *Laughs* Look! The do-do hit the dumb-dumb button!
Melody: Not funny, Teddy! What if I just totaled my brand new tape recorder?
Teddy: Here! Let me show you how to do it!
Melody: Hand it back, Teddy!
Teddy: I know what I'm doing! Now look what you made me do. Here!
Melody: If it wasn't broken before, it is now! This is a disaster!
Sweetheart: Teddy was only simply trying to help you make it better, Melody.
Patch: Huh? That's not what I saw!
All: *Chorus of agreement*

Sweetheart: Maybe perhaps if you told Melody you were really, truly sorry.
Teddy: Do you think I'm a geek or something? I don't apologise to anybody! Especially not Melody.
Mr. Tidwell: Hi, Sweetheart. Did I see that young Teddy causing trouble here again?
Sweetheart: Oh no, Mr, Tidwell. It was an accident.
Mr. Tidwell: I wish all young ponies were as responsible as you are and...
Sweetheart: Er... There's the bell! I don't want to be late!

Miss Hackney: Can you guess our lesson for this week?
Starlight: A fashion show?
Patch: Nah, I know! We're going to play croquet!
Bon Bon: Hey, watch it!
Miss Hackney: Today we're going to study pony court room procedure. We're even going to put on a pretend trial, and you can all play a part!
All: *Excited chattering*
Melody: Oh no, oh no! I can't believe I've lost it!
Patch: What's wrong, Mel?
Melody: I must have left it... My cassette player! It's been swiped! And I bet you swiped it! Hand over my cassette desk, Teddy!
Teddy: Huh! Search me!
Melody: I don't have to. Look!
Starlight: Um...Miss Hackney? Maybe we can use our pony court lesson to determine if Teddy took Melody's tape recorder?
Miss Hackney: A splendid idea! "Learn by doing" has always been my motto. Starlight, since you're such an even .... pony, you can be the judge!
Bright Eyes: Can I be the prosecutor?
Clover: What's a prosecutor?
Miss Hackney: Bright Eyes has to try to prove Teddy is really guilty, and we'll also need someone to help Teddy defend himself. Any volunteers?
Sweetheart: I'd be really, truly happy to help Teddy!
Miss Hackney: Good, Sweetheart. Now the rest of you will be the jury. It will be your job to weigh the evidence and decide if Teddy is guilty or innocent. If Teddy is found guilty, he will be suspended from school for three days.
Sweetheart: *Gulp*
Miss Hackney: Trial begins tomorrow. Prepare your cases!
All: *More exicted chattering*
Mr. Tidwell: Whoah! Little Ponies are always in such a rush.
Sweetheart: Teddy, you've got to tell me every itty little bitty thing so I can help you win this case.
Teddy: If you think I need help, you're just as nuts as the rest of those jerks! Ouch! Oh...Ugh!
Sweetheart: Euuuuggghhh! See? Everyone, even you, needs help sometime.
Teddy: Yeah. Maybe.

Sweetheart: Hi, Bright Eyes. What are you doing?
Bright Eyes: I'm preparing a list of reasons I think Teddy is guilty. He had the motive, the opportunity, and besides, he's very, very rude.
Sweetheart: He's not that bad. *Sighs*
Melody: Hi, Bright Eyes! Hi, Starlight!
Sweetheart: Melody, I'm glad you're here. I need to talk to you about Teddy.
Melody: Did you hear something, Starlight?
Starlight: It's Sweetheart.
Melody: You mean my ex-friend?
Sweetheart: I'm still your friend, Melody.
Melody: Huh! Traitors can't be friends!
Sweetheart: I'm Teddy's friend too!
Melody: That's obvious. You can't be Teddy's friend and ours. Isn't that right, Starlight?
Starlight: Sorry. I'm not supposed to take sides.
Bright Eyes: But I can!
Patch: Well, Sweetheart, what's it going to be? Him, or us?
Sweetheart: I want to help Teddy. He needs me.
Melody: Then we'll see you in court!
Sweetheart: All right, if that's what you want. Come on, Teddy.

Starlight: Pony court is now in sessions. Bright Eyes, are you ready to present your case against Teddy?
Bright Eyes: Yes, your honour. As my first witnesses, I would like to call Clover and Bon Bon.
Bon Bon: We promise to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Starlight: What about the cassette player? Did you see Teddy take it?
Clover: Er...to tell you the truth, I didn't see Teddy actually take it.
Bon Bon: But he's so mean. It would be just like him!
Sweetheart: I object! That's speculation...or something. He's really, really not like that at all. You just don't know him like I do.
You don't know the boy like I do,
You don't know how he can be,
Warm and caring,
Kind and sharing,
The best of company!
You don't know the boy like I do,
I have seen his other side,
Sweet and gentle,
Sentimental,
The things that most boys hide.
Clover: Stubborn and brash!
Sweetheart: Yes, that's true.
Bon Bon: Impulsively rash!
Sweetheart: He's that too.
Melody: Selfish at times!
Sweetheart: What else is new?
But breaking the law,
He couldn't do.
If you knew the boy like I do,
You'd know why I'd take his part,
He acts rough and tough,
But that's all a bluff,
I know what's in his heart!
I know what's in his heart!
Starlight: Maybe you should call Teddy as your witness, to prove your case.

Sweetheart: Let's go over the evidence against you. You were missing from class when the tape recorder disappeared?
Teddy: I was in the gym, standing up for the soccer team!
Sweetheart: Great! Then the coach can give you an alibi!
Teddy: No-one saw me. It wasn't fair.
Sweetheart: That tape Melody saw on your hoof, it wasn't Melody's?
Teddy: Oh, save your breath! It was Melody's. It must have gotten stuck there when I tried to help her make it play!
Melody: Yeah, right!
Sweetheart: What about a motive? If you have a tape recorder of your own, you wouldn't need to take Melody's, right?
Teddy: Yeah, but I don't have one. I'd do anything to get one!
All: *Gasp* He said he'd do anything! I know! How awful!
Teddy: I mean, almost anything! Oh, Sweetheart, I'm dead! You've got to help me!
Sweetheart: How can I, Teddy? You really, truly convinced the jury you did take it. Hmmm...wait a minute! Wait a minute! There may actually, truly be hope yet. Starlight! I mean, your honour! I want to call a special, surprise witness! Mr. Tidwell!
Mr. Tidwell: What's, er, going on, Sweetheart?
Sweetheart: I was wondering, what's all that stuff you have?
Mr. Tidwell: Oh, this and that. Mostly things that have been left out in the playground.
Sweetheart: And Mr. Tidwell, what do you do with these things?
Mr. Tidwell: Put it here in the lost and found box, of course. *Laughs* You wouldn't believe some of the things I find!
Sweetheart: You mean, like this?
All: *Gasps*
Melody: My...my cassette recorder! Wow, thanks!
Teddy: See? I told you I didn't do it!
Starlight: Case dismissed!
Miss Hackney: Well, ponies, this has been quite an important day. Can anyone tell me what we've learned?
Sweetheart: Well, I've learned to stand up for what I believe in, even when no-one agrees with me!
Melody: I learned I'd better know the whole story before I give somebody a ................
Miss Hackney: What about you, Teddy? What did you learn?
Teddy: Well, I guess that...that friends can be important. Er...er...if...if you need them - which I don't! Aaaaaah! Sweetheart! Help...help...help me!
Sweetheart: Hold on, hold on! I'll help you, Teddy!

The Tea Party

Bon Bon: Hmmm...
Sweetheart: Bon Bon! Those are for our tea party!
Bon Bon: Not to worry, Sweetheart. I baked plenty for everybody. Thank you!

Bright Eyes: You know, Patch, if we could get some electricity in here, we could have hot tea just like our parents.
Patch: I'm working on it!
Bon Bon: May I have a drop of cream please? Ugh! Clover!
Clover: You asked for a drop!
Starlight: May I have your attention please? The topic for today's tea party is whether or not to allow boys into our club.
All: No! Uh-uh! Nah! No, no, no! No way! Ew, no!
Melody: Hey, you know the rules, Starlight! No boys allowed!
Clover: Right! Only girls! Sorry...
Bright Eyes: Starlight's quite right, we have to be fair. We don't want to be accused of being prejudiced.
All: No! Not that! Uh-uh! Nah! No, no, no! I don't want to be prejudiced! No!
Sweetheart: What's prejudiced?
Bright Eyes: Prejudiced means having an opinion without having all the facts.
Sweetheart: Well, we don't want to do that, do we?
Bright Eyes: I move that we do some research. If we find a boy we like, we can vote him in, or not, at the next tea party.
Patch: I second that motion.
Starlight: All in favour, say "I"!
All: I!
Melody: Then let's check out the boys!
All: Boys, boys, boys,
What do we want with boys?
Clover: One's a bully,
One's a brute,
Melody: But some I think are awfully cute!
All: Boys, boys, boys,
Most of them make such noise,
Bon Bon: Ugly grunts and nasty snorts,
Bright Eyes: Some write lovely book reports!
Sweetheart: But they play so rough and tough at sports!
Starlight: But at a dance, they're good escorts!
All: Boys, boys, boys,
Boys, boys, boys!
Bright Eyes: Some of them are helpful,
Melody: Some of them are mean!
Bright Eyes: Some are sharing, even caring,
Melody: But find me one that's neat and clean!
All: Boys, boys, boys,
None of us girls enjoys,
The way they push, and tease, and shout,
Clover: Although some are nice to have about,
Melody: And some smell bad a sauerkraut!
All: We can't live with, or live without,
Boys, boys, boys,
Boys, boys, boys,
Boys!
Starlight: OK, after school tomorrow, we vote!

Patch: Boys sure make it tough to like them, don't they?
Bright Eyes: Look!
Patch: We're being robbed!
Mr. Berrytown: We'll come back for the rest later.
Bright Eyes: *Gasp* They're coming back!
Patch: We've got to protect our club-house!

Starlight: As chair-pony of our tea club, I hereby table our vote on the boys.
Clover: What table? It's gone!
All: *Giggles*
Patch: OK, it's no laughing matter, Clover. Our secret meeting place has been invaded by...by a ring of thieves!
Bright Eyes: At least two.
Sweetheart: But what can we do? We're just Little Ponies.
Starlight: Well, I'll tell you what we can do! Well...er...better yet...er, I'll tell you what we CAN'T do! We can't ignore the problem! We can't sweep it under the carpet. We can't allow somebody to come in here and take our things. Because if we do, where will it stop? Where will they go next? Maybe your house, Bon Bon!
Bon Bon: No!
Starlight: Maybe yours!
Sweetheart: No, not mine!
Starlight: Or yours, Melody!
Melody: *Gasp*
Starlight: And before we know it, all of Ponyland will be picked clean of everything we own. We can't let that happen! We have to stop them now! *Gasps for air*
Clover: But...how?
Patch: I'll show you!

Sweetheart: What are we doing with our knapsacks?
Patch: First you pull out the elastic drawstring, then tie the ends together in a knot...like this...and, you've got a slingshot!
Sweetheart: It works!
Patch: You make the rest of the slingshots. I'll go help the others.
Bon Bon: Ow!
Sweetheart: I'm really, truly sorry, Bon Bon!

Clover: Ow!

Clover: Whooaaaaaaaahhhhh! Now what?
Patch: We wait.

Bon Bon: It's getting dark.
Bright Eyes: Maybe they just aren't coming.
Sweetheart: Maybe we should go home before our parents start to worry about us.
Bon Bon: Wait! They're back!
Patch: All ponies to your battle stations!
Mr. Berrytown: That's funny. Must be stuck. Stand back! Come on! Eugh! Hey, what's this?
Logan: Hmm...honey.
Mrs. Berrytown: Oh dear! What's happening?
Mr. Berrytown: I don't know, but I'm going to find out!
Patch: Don't come any closer.
Mr. Berrytown: Who are you?
Patch: Who are YOU?
Mr. Berrytown: Oops! Whooooooaaaaaaaaaah!
Patch: Commence firing!
Mr. Berrytown: Oooh!
Logan: Ugh! Oh, jelly - good!
Melody: *Giggles* Bullseye!
Mrs. Berrytown: All right, that's enough of that! Come back here! I know you're in there. Aaaaaaaaaaahh!
Melody: Way to go!
Mr. Berrytown: I don't know who you are, but you'd better stop right now!
Patch: And you'd better get out!
Mr. Berrytown: You don't belong here.
Patch: Neither do you.
Mr. Berrytown Ugh.
Mrs. Berrytown: I saw a monster! Heeeeeeeelllllllp!
Patch: You give up?
Mr. Berrytown: No way! Ow! *Muffled noise* OK, I surrender!
Patch: Did you say surrender?
Mr. Berrytown: Yes!
Patch: Cease fire! Sir, your surrender is accepted. Whoops! Ouch!
Mr. Berrytown: I demand to know the meaning of this. We're the Berrytown's - we own this house.
Patch: You own it?
Bright Eyes: We thought you came here to rob it!
Mrs. Berrytown: We move in next week. We just wanted to clean out all the junk!
Clover: But all the junk is ours!
Bon Bon: Yeah, this is our secret clubhouse...
Sweetheart: Where we have our extra-special tea parties!
Mr. Berrytown: Well, I see now why you did this, and, er, I think you're all very brave Little Ponies, but...but it looks like we have a problem.
Starlight: And it looks like we owe you a big apology - and some help!

Clover: Look out below!
Logan: Got it!
Sweetheart: Thank you, Logan.

Mrs. Berrytown: I want to thank you all for helping us fix up our house - especially Little Posy's room.
Baby Berrytown: *Gurgles*
Sweetheart: Can Cherry be in the picture?
Mrs. Berrytown: Of course she can. Maybe you'd like to be her new babysitter?
Sweetheart: I'd love to! She's the sweetest little newborn.
Mrs. Berrytown: Say chestnut, everybody!
All: Chestnut!!!
Logan: It's ready, it's ready!
Clover: What's ready?
Mrs. Berrytown: Just a little surprise.
All: Oh, wow! Ooh! Wonderful!
Mr. Berrytown: You like it? It's your new clubhouse!
Bright Eyes: It is magnificent!
Patch: Wow, thanks!
Melody: Far out! Let's have a tea party!
Mrs. Berrytown: I make a great honey tea if you'll let me.
Starlight: Oh...you can make the tea, Mrs. Berrytown, but I'm afraid you can't come to the party. It's a...a private club...
Mrs. Berrytown: I understand.
Logan: Can I maybe join your club?
Starlight: Hmmm... Everybody, looks like we need to have our first meeting in our new clubhouse!

All: *Discussing boy ponies*
Starlight: Quiet, quiet! Come to order!
Sweetheart: Logan saved my life. I think he should be in the club.
Patch: He only saved you from getting full of paint.
Sweetheart: Same difference.
Starlight: I call for a vote!

Starlight: Logan, can we see you for a minute?

Starlight: Could I please have your attention? On behalf of all of us, I'd like to welcome Logan into our club!
All: *Cheers*
Starlight: Would you like to say something, Logan?
Logan: Yeah, sure! Send the scones over here! Please?
All: *Giggles*
Logan: *Munching sounds* Thanks a lot!

The Masquerade

Miss Hackney: Remember, I want no-one to look at their test results until I've handed back all your papers.
Bon Bon: We must be in trouble. I know I failed, I know it!
Miss Hackney: All right, Class! Together now, turn over your papers!
Starlight: I...I got an A!
Melody: Cool, a B+!
Bon Bon: Oh wow! I got an A-!
Miss Hackney: And you all did so well, the school has decided to reward you with a special masquerade party tonight! And I want you all to dress up as whatever you wish to be when you grow up!
Patch: *Aeroplane noises*
Miss Hackney: And yes, Patch, even you will one day grow up.
Patch: And, when I do, I'm going to be a circus clown!
Miss Hackney: *Sighs* Why aren't I surprised?

Clover: *Giggles* I can't wait to dress up like a great ballerina!
Melody: Yuck on that old stuff! It's Rock 'n' Roll for me! Yeah!
Bright Eyes: I plan to be an enviromentalist, to keep our world beautiful.
Patch: An enviromentalist? What kind of costume is that, Bright Eyes?
Bright Eyes: It's...er...er... Gosh, I don't know!
Starlight: Well, I think best while enjoying an ice cream soda. Come on, everybody! It's on the house!
Bon Bon: I...I don't think I can have any ice cream right now, Starlight. I...er...I told Mum I'd be home early today. Bye!
Starlight: Gee, I can't believe Bon Bon passed up an ice cream sundae!

Bon Bon: How could I tell them what I want to be when I grow up? They'd never understand. But I so want to become a world famous model!
Unseen Photographer: Hold this, Bon Bon. You look gorgeous as always! Hello, Bon Bon! You are so beautiful!
Bon Bon: Melody longs to be a rock star,
She's dreamed about it since I can recall,
That's OK for Melody,
If that's what she would like to be,
But mine is the best dream of all!
Starlight has plans to be a teacher,
And Patch would like to be a circus clown,
Bright Eyes dream is excellent,
To help save our enviroment,
But mine is the best dream hand's down!
I'm born to be a model,
Wearing evrything from fancy gowns to jeans!
I'm born to be a model,
A fabulous model,
Like in all the fashion magazines!
All my friends have their special daydreams,
But their dreams would not suit my fantasy,
Yes, they may be quite worthwhile,
Sorry! They're just not my style!
Mine is the best dream for me!
Mine is the best dream for me!
Me, a world famous fashion model? Who am I kidding? Dear Diary, How can I go to the masquerade as my heart's desire, when I know I'll look so silly if I try to dress up like them? *Sniffs* Come in.
Mrs. Bon Bon: Honey, I heard a noise. What's wrong?
Bon Bon: Mum, is it OK if I don't go to the masquerade tonight?
Mrs. Bon Bon: But it should be so much fun.
Bon Bon: If they see me dressed up like this, everyone will just laugh.
Mrs. Bon Bon: Honey, I think you're just overdoing it a little. You look beautiful!
Bon Bon: Oh, you're just saying that because you're my mum!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Trust me, dear, everyone knows how beautiful you really are.
Bon Bon: And...and no-one will laugh at me?
Mrs. Bon Bon: You'll see. They'll think you're just perfect the way you are. Why don't you get ready to go while I finish baking the cookies for the party?

Sweetheart: A present...for me? *Giggles* That's a good one, Patch!
Lancer: Does the doctor need the help of a poor, but honest explorer?
Sweetheart: How kind of you! You're so nice.
Photographer: What?! Oh, it's you, Patch!
Patch: So, did you get a shot of me?
Photographer: I'm taking videos of everyone, Patch. And I can even play them for you later on my TV!
Un-named pony #1: You look terrific!
Un-named pony #2: You too!
Starlight: Everyone! Attention, Ponies! Here's Melody and the Rock 'n' Beats!

Bon Bon: Hurry, Mum! We're already late!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Well, the cookies took longer to bake than I thought, but we made it.

All: *Laughs*
Starlight: Look at her!
Clover: She's so silly!
Lancer: So dumb!
Sweetheart: Oh, her costume's so weird!
Patch: Definitely the silliest pony here, right?
Bon Bon: They're all laughing at me, I knew I shouldn't have come, I just knew it! *Sobs*
Teddy: Hey, where are you going? Is that dumb masquerade already over?
Bon Bon: I can't go back to the party. Maybe I should find some new friends somewhere else.

Mrs. Bon Bon: Have you seen Bon Bon? I baked her favourite cookies.
Starlight: Nope. I haven't seen her all night.
Clover: Me neither. Hmm...these are good!
Mrs. Bon Bon: That's strange. Where could she be? Have you seen Bon Bon?
Photographer: I don't remember taking her picture...
Mrs. Bon Bon: Has anyone seen Bon Bon?
Teddy: Yeah, I did. She was running towards the forest, like, so what?
Mrs. Bon Bon: The forest? She could get lost in there.
Starlight: Why would she go there?
Mrs. Bon Bon: Oh, Bon Bon thought everyone would laugh at her dream of becoming a fashion model.
Clover: Oh, but we never even saw Bon Bon!
Starlight: And we'd never laugh at her - she's our friend!
Lancer: We've got to find her before it's too dark!
Photographer: Hold on! Wait! We can go in my van!

Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon! Where are you?
Clover: It's Clover, and Starlight, and all your friends!
Bon Bon: I can't let them laugh at me again. I can't go back! I can't! Agh!
Lancer: I see her! Bon Bon, come on back, it's us!
Bon Bon: Oh my, I didn't realise I was so high up!
Starlight: Bon Bon, please come back!
Bon Bon: You said I...I looked dumb - you laughed at me!
Lancer: We didn't laugh at you! We didn't even know you were at the party!
Bon Bon: But Starlight said that my costume was weird, and Patch said I was the silliest pony at the party!
Patch: No, I didn't! I said I was the silliest pony at the masquerade. I work hard at being silly!
Starlight: And it was Patch's costume that I said was weird!
Bon Bon: But I heard everyone laugh at me when I came into the masquerade.
Photographer: We didn't laugh at you, Bon Bon. And I can prove it!
Starlight (On TV): Look at her!
Clover (On TV): She's so silly!
Lancer (On TV): She looks so dumb!
Bon Bon: Then, you didn't laugh at me?
Starlight: We'd never laugh at you!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Honey, come on down now! Everyone loves you!
Bon Bon: I...I feel silly now, but OK, Mum. I'm coming....Aaaaah!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon!`
Bon Bon: Heeeeeellllllp!
Starlight: Come on, Lancer! We've got to save her!
Lancer: Right!
Bon Bon: I...I can't hold on much longer!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon!
Starlight: We're coming!
Lancer: Got you!
Bon Bon: Oops! Aaah!
Lancer: Bon Bon, don't worry. We're going to lower you to the ground now.
Bon Bon: OK, OK, I'll hold on!
Photographer: Here she comes. Everyone get ready!
Mrs. Bon Bon: It's all right, you're safe now.
Patch: And you're with friends too.
Starlight: Are you all right?
Bon Bon: I am, thanks to you two.
Patch: OK, so now what do we do? I mean there's still time before the masquerade's over.
Bon Bon: Well, let's go back and dance! After all, I want everyone to see my fashion model's costume.

Ace: You look beautiful, Bon Bon!
Teddy: *Whistles*
Lancer: Care to dance, Bon Bon?
Bon Bon: I'd love to, Lancer.


Out Of Luck

Mr. Clover: Nah, no good. Won't work. Can't use this. Or this either.
Clover: What you looking for, Dad?
Mr. Clover: Won't know 'til I find it. That's the way it is with art, Clover. Inspiration is the father of genius.
Clover: Gee, it must be great to be a sculptor.
Mr. Clover: Now this might work!
Clover: Look what I found!
Mr. Clover: *Laughs* Now you can start your own sculpture!
Clover: I have another idea.

Clover: I just thought it would make a neat symbol for our club.
Patch: I read a story once about an old lamp somebody named Aladdin found, and it turned out to be magic!
Bright Eyes: I read that story in the library. Aladdin rubbed the lamp and he got three wishes!
Bon Bon: Wow! A magic teapot!
All: Yeah! How exciting! Make a wish! Yes!
Starlight: Go ahead, Clover. Make a wish!
Clover: OK, here goes. I wish...I wish it would rain a jillion jangles!
Patch: That's a good one.
*Thunder*
Sweetheart: *Gasp* It's really, truly coming true!
Starlight: These aren't jangles. It's raining real rain!

Melody: I thought we were going to be rich, not wet.
Sweetheart: Here's more icky, sticky glue!
Starlight: Send it up!
Bright Eyes: Hurry up! I've got a great deal of homework to do!
Patch: Hey, Clove! Why don't you make another wish so we can all go home? *Laughs*
Clover: OK. Maybe it'll work this time!
Patch: I was only joking...
Clover: I wish...our teahouse would fix itself so we could all go home! Did it work?
Bon Bon: Whoops! Gone overboard!
Clover: Ugh! Gee, it looks like my good luck turned bad!

Clover: Ow! Oh gee, what happened to the good old days?
Once upon a time,
Fortune smiled on me,
Now I find I'm stuck,
Completely out of luck,
Life's as bleak as it can be.
Strange,
How quickly things can change,
One false move you take a tumble,
One day tulips are in bloom,
The next day it's all gloom and doom!
Almost seems a crime,
How fortune piled on me,
How my heart would soar,
If I could feel once more,
The way it used to be,
When fortune smiled on me!
Oh no!
Mrs. Clover: Clover, look what you've done!
Clover: Sorry, Mum. It was an accident.
Mrs. Clover: You clean up this mess right now, then go to your room, is that clear?
Clover: Yes, Mother. *Sighs* Maybe this is all just a bad dream.

Clover: It's you! It's your fault! There! I wish I'd never found you!

Dustman: Hey, look at this. It must have got tossed out by mistake! Er...sorry to bother you, Ma'am, but I found this in the trash. I thought it was so nice, maybe you didn't mean to throw it away...
Mrs. Clover: Why, you're right. It belongs to Clover. I can't wait 'til she gets home from school. She'll be so glad you found it. Thank you!

Clover: Mum! I'm home! Oh no.
Mrs. Clover: Hello, dear.
Clover: Mum, what's that doing here?
Mrs. Clover: Well, I...I thought you threw it away by mistake.
Clover: It wasn't a mistake. I don't want it!
Mrs. Clover: Well, I can't understand why. It's a perfectly nice teapot. How was school? All right, what happened?
Clover: It's from Miss Hackney.
Mrs. Clover: Miss Hackney says you didn't do your homework last night.
Clover: Oh, it was all because of that stupid teapot! I couldn't concentrate! It's done nothing but give me bad luck ever since I got it and...
Mrs. Clover: Clover, not doing your homework has nothing to do with bad luck. Sorry, but you're grounded for the rest of the day.
Clover: Grounded? Oh...

Clover: Let's see, the numerator goes into the denominator... No, that's not right... The denominator goes into the numerator... Ugh! I can't even think straight! That's it - I've had it with you!

Clover: Good riddence!
Fisherman: Huh?

Mrs. Clover: Your father was so busy with his work I hardly saw him today.
Clover: Did he finish that last sculpture?
Mrs. Clover: Not yet. He's worried sick he won't make the opening tomorrow night.
Clover: Dad'll come through, he always does. Can I put the cucumber in now?
Mrs. Clover: Fire away!
Mr. Clover: What's going on? Hey, easy! I'm on your side!
Clover: Oh, sorry...
Mr. Clover: I'll get it!
Fisherman: Are you Clover's father?
Mr. Clover: That's me.
Fisherman: I think this belongs to your daughter.
Mr. Clover: Clover, I have something of yours.
Clover: Agh! It's back!
Mr. Clover: You threw this into Paradise Lake?
Clover: I hate it! I don't want it! I don't want to see it again - ever!
Mrs. Clover: Calm down, dear! It's only a teapot!
Mr. Clover: That's no excuse. You can't just throw things into the lake you don't want. We have to protect our enviroment - you know that!
Clover: Right now I have to protect me!
Mr. Clover: I'm sorry, Clover. That attitude is simply unacceptible. Go to your room!
Clover: But...but...
Mr. Clover: Now!

Mr. Clover: Come in!
Clover: I know you banished me to my room for the rest of my life, but I need to talk to you.
Mr. Clover: Sure, what's on your mind?
Clover: Well, I just wanted you to know that I understand about pollution, but I was desperate!
Mr. Clover: Clover, this teapot has nothing to do with your luck.
Clover: Yes, it does. Get it away from me!
Mr. Clover: Luck is very often nothig more than a matter of hard work and being in the right place at the right time.
Clover: Well, when I found that piece of junk, I was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time!
Mr. Clover: Clover?
Clover: What?
Mr. Clover: I've got an idea. You said you didn't want it.
Clover: No, Dad! You can't do this! It's bad luck! Please don't put it there! Please!
Mr. Clover: Perfect! Just what I've been looking for! I'm ready for the show!
Clover: Not.

*Posh voices chatting*
Sweetheart: Who are all these ponies?
Clover: Hopefully they'll buy my Dad's sculptures.
Pacth: Hey, Clove! Isn't this your teapot?
Clover: Uh-huh! It's just haunting me!
Un-named posh pony with ring symbol: Perhaps you could tell me something about this one?
Mr. Clover: Well, actually it's my most recent piece.
Clover: I hope she doesn't see the teapot!
Un-named posh pony with ring symbol: Hmm..my, my! What an extraordinary work of art. I simply adore your use of everyday items to convey a sense of immediacy and familiarity, at the same time illustrating the wastefulness of our society.
Mr. Clover: Why, thank you! That's exactly what I had in mind.
Un-named posh pony with ring symbol: *Gasp* And this teapot!
Clover: Oh, I knew it!
Un-named posh pony with ring symbol: It's a stroke of genius!
Clover: I don't believe it!
Un-named posh pony with ring symbol: Shall we discuss the price?
Mr. Clover: Of course! Right this way!
Starlight: She's actually going to buy it!
Bright Eyes: Your father's going to become famous!
Clover: Gee, I guess that teapot was good luck after all!
Mrs. Clover: On the other hand, dear, maybe the sculpture sold because it was good, not because the teapot was lucky.
Clover: Well, maybe it was lucky that the sculpture was good.
Mrs. Clover: Let's just say that sometimes it's good to be lucky!

The Play's The Thing

Melody: Keep your eyes on me, twinnets! Nobody in school can play the princess better than me. Listen to this; "Ladies and lords of the kingdom, welcome!"
Jing-a-Ling and Ting-a-Ling: *Giggles* Hooray, Melody!
Melody: Thank you, thank you. Let's face it. It's a sure shot! Miss Hackney has to take me for the lead - I'm the star!
Mrs. Melody: Melody, this room is a disaster area! Clean it up right now!
Melody: Mum, don't blow a fuse! Remember, I'm the star. Stars don't clean, they have assistants to do stuff like that.

Miss Hackney: All right, all right, it's time for auditions. Er... Patch, you first!
Patch: Miss Hackney, I'm not going to stick to the script. I thought it was kind of dull, so I jazzed it up!
Miss Hackney: Shakespony has been considered classic literature for centuries, Patch.
Patch: This will be better, trust me! "On guard, you landlubbers! Take your swords and fight these pirates to the end!"
Miss Hackney: Thank you, Patch. That was quite...original. Next audition!

Clover: "And so lords and ladies, I bid you a fair adieu." Oops!
Miss Hackney: All right, that's everyone! Thank you for auditioning. Remember, there are no small parts, only small actors. The list of assignments will be up tomorrow.

All: *Excited chattering*
Bon Bon: Hurry up! I want to see what part I got!
Starlight: Melody, you're the star! You're the princess!
Bon Bon: Melody, don't you just feel like the luckiest Little Pony around?
Melody: Lucky? No way! It's talent, pure and simple.
Starlight: Clover, you're a guard.
Clover: A guard? Oh well, at least I got a part.
Starlight: And Bon Bon! You're going to be the wise old woman!
Bon Bon: Oh, just great! That's what I always wanted to be - a chubby old hag!
Starlight: Oh, you'll be great! We all will! Now let's go backstage and see what needs to be done. Melody, where are you going? We're all supposed to help out backstage.
Melody: Hey, don't give me the giggles! I'm the star. Bye bye, girls!
Patch: How can you beat that? Looks like the pretend princess is turning into a real princess.
Starlight: Never mind her. We've got work to do!

Clover: Wow! Look at all this neat stuff!
Starlight: I wonder what's in here?
Bon Bon: Oh, gee, who's ever going to believe I'm a seventy-five year old woman?
Starlight: Bon Bon, that's the magic of theatre.
Making them believe,
In the web you weave,
That's the magic of theatre!
Noble kings and lords,
With their rubber swords,
That's the magic of theatre!
A cardboard sun seems so real,
You can feel yourself growing warm!
A sudden flash, a noisy crash,
Makes a smashing thunderstorm!
Patch: See that mountain top?
Bon Bon: Why, it's a painted drop!
All: That's the magic of theatre!
Clover: Fancy dressing gown,
Bon Bon: Made of hand-me-downs!
All: That's the magic of theatre!
Starlight: Creating an illusion,
That takes their breath away!
All: That's the magic of theatre,
Starlight: And the fun of putting on a play!
All: That's the magic of theatre!
That's the magic of theatre!
Starlight: To help make the illusion,
We paint,
Patch: We build,
Bon Bon: We sew!
All: That's the magic of theatre,
And the fun of purring on a show!
That's the magic of theatre!

Bon Bon: Do I look seventy-five? I need to look really old!
Starlight: Just wait 'til I've finished with your hair. With the new hair-do and Patch's make up...
Patch: ...You'll look older than Miss Hackney!
All: *Laughs*
Starlight: There! All finished! You'll look fantastic at dress rehearsal!
Melody: But, not as good as me!
Clover: Melody!
Starlight: Your new hair-do looks terrific!
Melody: Thanks. Your mum styled it earlier today.
Starlight: You mean when you should have been working on the masks for the ballroom scene?
Melody: Oh, chill out, Starlight! In case you didn't know, I'm going to be interviewed on PTV later today.
Clover: Wow, that's really great, Melody! You'll look terrific on PTV with that new hair-do! Can you do my hair like that, Starlight?
Starlight: Sure I can!
Melody: No! Nobody can have my hair-do! I'm the star!
Starlight: Don't be ridiculous! She can have any hairstyle she wants!
Melody: No, she can't! I have to stand out!
Starlight: Can!
Melody: Can't!
Starlight: Can!
Melody: Can't!
Clover: It's...it's OK, Starlight! Um, I'll...I'll take a different hair-do.
Patch: What's with her? She's so stuck up.
Starlight: I think I know how to teach Melody a lesson.

Ace: Nobody is supposed to watch the rehearsal, but I want to see Melody - she's terrific!
Melody: Welcome, fair ladies and noble lords to my beautiful kingdom. Tonight...you're going...to hear...a tale...of...true...romance! I shall sit upon my royal throne, and tell you a love between a princess and her prince. Thank you. Aaaah! OK, OK, where's my throne?
Teddy: *Laughs* This is really the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Everything goes wrong - Melody is terrible! *Laughs*
Ace: She'll be better in the next scene - you'll see!
Melody: My prince has sent word. He rides shortly to read me a love poem. But wait, is that the voice of my prince wooing me?
*Croaking frogs*
Melody: That can not be my prince's voice...unless he's got a frog in his throat!
All: *Laughs*
Melody: Hark! I hear a knock at the door! It must be my prince. *Giggles* If I can just open this door, I know I'll see my prince. Oh...Open, door! Aaaaaaah!
Teddy: *Laughs* This is the funniest thing I've ever seen!
Ace: *Laughs* You're right, you're right!
Melody: OK, that's it! Stop the rehearsal right now!
Starlight: Something wrong, Melody?
Melody: Everything is wrong. The play was a mess. I come out like some amateur!
Patch: Have a problem with the props, lights, sound effects?
Bon Bon: You're the only important one, but those on backstage mean nothing? Only the star counts, right?
Miss Hackney: Could someone tell me what's going on here?
Starlight: Our star princess royally mistreated her former friends.
Melody: What do you mean...former friends?

Starlight: It's almost time for Melody's interview on PTV. Does anybody want to watch it?
Patch: What for? So she can tell all of Ponyland how important she is?
Clover: Maybe we should watch. Maybe she'll surprise us by saying something nice.
Patch: Yeah, right!
Dazzle: Today, I'm interviewing Melody, a member of the Rock 'n' Beats, and this week, the star of the school play. So, tell everyone, how does it feel to be the star of the play? I guess it's pretty important.
Melody: Well, I learned a lot about being the star...
Dazzle: Such as?
Melody: The fact that one actress doesn't make a play. It takes everyone chipping in to really make it work.
Patch: Am I hearing things?
Starlight: Melody's serious about making this work!
Clover: *Giggles* This play's going to be great now!

Melody: Welcome, fair ladies and noble lords, to my beautiful kingdom. Tonight you are going to hear a tale of true romance. I shall sit upon my royal throne, and tell you a love between a princess and her prince. It is a cold and evil night. A storm is raging. Thunder and lightning fill the castle! I shall sleep through this terrible night, and awaken to bright sunlight and the cockerel crowing.
Bon Bon: Madam, did you hear the news? There's to be a marvelous masquerade this eve'. Plus Prince .................... will be there.

Clover: Halt! Who goes there? Oh, it's you, Princess. They are expecting you.
Patch: Ah, my eyes have never seen such beauty. I am yours to command.

Melody: Oh, noble, bright and beautiful sword, you have helped me vanquish the dragon, and set my people free!
Ace: This is the greatest! I can't believe how much better it is tonight!
Teddy: Yeah, even I like it. I hope I'm not losing my edge.
Patch: Fantastic! Everything went great! The costumes, the props, the sound effects...
Starlight: Listen to that applause! Everyone loved it!
Ace: These are for you.
Melody: Thank you, Ace. But they aren't just for me - a play could never work with just the star. Let me bring out all my friends and hard workers backstage. They're the ones who really made this show happen!

Shop Talk

Mrs. Starlight: One more curl, and it's time for the hairdryer. So, heard any interesting gossip lately?
Un-named pony at hairdressers: Well, just this morning, Mrs. Nettlebush told me last night's big winds blew the roof right off her house!
Mrs. Starlight: No!
Un-named pony at hairdressers: And worse than that, all her clothes were blown all over the neighbourhood!
Starlight/Sweetheart: *Laughs*
Mrs. Starlight: Aren't you girls supposed to be making a couple of ice cream sodas?
Starlight: Er...yes, Mum. They're almost ready.

Un-named pony at hairdressers: Oh, they're lovely, girls. Thank you so much. And speaking of lovely, did you hear that Justin finally proposed to Moonglow?
Mrs. Starlight: I heard it straight from Moonglow's mother. The wedding's scheduled for next month. Well, what do you think
Un-named pony at hairdressers: I think you should help me pick out a new outfit to go with my curls!
Mrs. Starlight: Well, since I don't have any more appointments today, why not?
Starlight: Mum, would it be OK if Sweetheart and Bon Bon did our friends manes while you're out?
Mrs. Starlight: Fine! Just make sure you sweep up when you're done.
Starlight: Oh, boy! Let's get everyone in here on the double!

Starlight: So, girls, heard any interesting gossip lately?
Clover: Well, I've got a juicy story,
Just wait until you hear,
Madame Percheron once had a beau,
Count Apaloosa was his name,
She has his picture in a frame,
I think they were engaged once years ago!
Patch: So here's my juicy story,
My neighbour dyed her hair,
Instead of blond, it turned an awful green!
Bon Bon: I heard a hair fell out in clumps,
Because she came down with the mumps,
And now her family's under quarantine!
Melody: I heard a rumour that Dazzle has a boyfriend,
He stays with the Cleveland Bays or so I heard.
Bright Eyes: At school you should have seen the boys,
They jumped around and made such noise,
Poor Miss Hackney misspelled a word!
Clover: Have you got a juicy story?
Starlight: You know that stuck up pony,
Who acts like she's so smart,
Well, I heard today in maths she got a D!
All: To share these stories is such fun,
It's fun to share with everyone,
Gossip that's as juicy as can be!
Oh my, I'm in my glory,
When I hear a juicy story,
So long as it's not about me!
So long as it's not about me!
Patch: Hey, Sweetheart! You didn't tell any stories about anyone!
Sweetheart: Gee, I don't usually ever tell stories about people, but there's one about my baby sister, Sugar.
All: Yes?
Sweetheart: Well, when she's asleep she looks ever so sweet sucking on her hoof...
Melody: Sweetheart, is that the juiciest story you've got?
Sweetheart: Well, she's only a baby.
Bright Eyes: Forget about your sister, Sweetheart. What about Teddy, hmm?
Melody: Yeah, you know him better than the rest of us, you must have something on that bully.
Patch: Huh! Teddy may be a bully, but he's not really so tough.
Bon Bon: He isn't?
Patch: No way! In fact, I'll bet he's really such a scaredy-cat, that when he gets upset or frightened, he has to go home to cuddle with his teddy bear!
All: *Laughs*
Starlight: Yeah, but he can't tell anyone...
Melody: ...Because it would completely trash his reputation as a tough guy!
Patch: *Giggles* Pretty good joke, eh, Sweetheart? Sweetheart? You mean Teddy really does have a teddy bear?
Sweetheart: I...I promised not to say anything...
Patch: Woohoo! Teddy really does have a teddy bear!
Sweetheart: I didn't say that!
All: Teddy has a teddy bear! Teddy has a teddy bear! Teddy has a teddy bear! *Laughs*
Ace: He does? Unreal! Wait until Lancer hears about this!
Sweetheart: No, Ace! You can't, it's not what you think it is. They're only kidding! Oh please, oh please!
Ace: Later, ladies! The starting gun has sounded and I'm history!

Lancer: OK, Teddy, good luck!
Teddy: Yeah, you're the one who needs the luck, Lancer, 'cause here they come! Lancer, you're so lame, you couldn't guard this goal if there were three of you!
Ace: At least he doesn't need his teddy bear!
Teddy: Huh?
Lancer: Teddy has a teddy bear?
Teddy: Shut up! I do not!
Lancer/Ace: Teddy has a teddy bear! Teddy has a teddy bear!
Teddy: I said, shut up! Both of you!
Lancer/Ace: *Laughs*
Teddy: You guys make me sick.
Lancer/Ace: *Laughs*

Mrs. Teddy: Teddy? Is there anything wrong?
Teddy: No, Mum! Just leave me alone! Oh, teddy, what am I going to do? I trusted Sweetheart with my secret, but she...she must have blabbed! I'm ruined!
Mrs. Teddy: Teddy? Your little friend Sweetheart is here to see you.

Teddy: Some friend you turned out to be. I have on secret in the whole, wide world and you go and tell everyone!
Sweetheart: But Teddy, I didn't! Patch was making up stories and...
Teddy: You knew how much it would hurt me, but you went and blabbed anyway!
Sweetheart: But Teddy...
Teddy: It just makes me so mad, I could...I could just kick something! Ouch!
Sweetheart: *Giggles*
Teddy: Now you're laughing at me too!
Sweetheart: No! Honest, I'm not! It's... *Giggles*
Teddy: Yes, you are! Which means you're not my friend anymore either!
Sweetheart: Oh no! Now I've made it worse!

Starlight: I had no idea Teddy would feel so bad. He's always acting so tough.
Bon Bon: Maybe we should try to help him.
Starlight: The question is, how can we make him feel better?
Bright Eyes: Well, as long as Ace and Lancer continue to make fun of Teddy, he's only going to feel worse.
Sweetheart: Wait a minute! I've got an extra specially great idea! But it will only work if Bright Eyes and Melody can get Lance and Ace to babysit a bunch of Baby Ponies...

Lancer: OK, Ace, one more pass, and away she goes!
Bright Eyes: Way to go, guys!
Melody: What a shot!
Lancer: Wow! Bright Eyes and Melody? They've never come to watch us practice before.
Bright Eyes: Lance?
Melody: Ace?
Bright Eyes: We need your skill and your knowledge...
Melody: ...For a very dangerous mission.
Ace: There is no mission too dangerous for yours truly.
Lancer: Yes! Just point us in the right direction, and we're ready to go!

Babies: *Talking and giggling loudly*
Ace: Wait a minute - your idea of a dangerous mission, is to babysit for a bunch of out-of-the-cool Baby Ponies?
Melody: Well, I call this dangerous.
Sugar: *Screams*
Ace: Oh no! Got you, Sugar! Whoops!

Lancer: *Aeroplane noises*
Ace: I'm the ghost of sticky-wicky!
Peaches: Oh, go away! Peaches going to paint the nasty pony ghost!
Sugar: *Giggles* Glitter ghost! Glitter ghost!

Sweetheart: I can't believe it - our plan's working ever so specially well.

Bright Eyes: Well guys, the most perilous time of all has arrived...
Melody: ...As in baby pony dinnertime!
Baby Ponies: Ooh, no!
Melody: Oh? What's the surprise?
Bright Eyes: Here you are, Peaches.
Peaches: Ugh! Baby food icky!
Melody: Well, I guess there's only one thing to do.
Bright Eyes: Yes, you big, strong, handsome boys are going to have to show the Baby Ponies how it's done.
Ace: What? You mean we've got to...
Lancer/Ace: ...Eat baby food?
Bright Eyes: Not only that, but it's essential that you wear baby clothes!
Melody: And gurgle and goo like the babies do as well!
Bright Eyes: Otherwise it just won't work!
Ace: No way, Melody! Come on! Oh, goo goo ga... Oh, you should see yourself, Lance! You look hilarious!
Lancer: What about you? You make the best baby I've ever seen!
Sugar: We'll drink our milky if you do!
Ace: Only if Baby Lance does too!
Baby Ponies: *Giggles*
Melody: You guys are absolutely terrific! You got them all to drink their milk!
Ace: Yeah, but if anyone found out, our reputations would be ruined forever!
Lancer: Hey, I'm not saying a word! *Laughs*
*Click*
Sweetheart: You know, I wouldn't think of saying a word either, because pictures like these are worth a thousand words!
Teddy: *Laughs* Not only that, but you guys are the most photogenic Baby Ponies I've ever seen!
Lancer: Oh no!
Ace: It's not our looks, Teddy. The girls made us do it!
Teddy: I see. So you mean you guys aren't really wearing bonnets, and diapers, and warpaint and glitter.
Lancer: Well, of course we were...
Ace: ...But it's a long story!
Teddy: Yeah, kind of like that story you made up about me supposedly having a teddy bear?
Ace: That was no story. I heard it with my own ears!
Teddy: But, do you have pictures?
Lancer: Come on, Teddy! We never really believed you had a teddy bear. We were just joking!
Ace: Yeah, a rough, tough boy pony like you? No way! We were just trying to give you a hard time!
Teddy: And you'll never, ever mention the subject ever again?
Ace: No way!
Lancer: Wouldn't think of it!
Teddy: In that case, it's a deal! Hey guys, do you want to practice out on the soccer field?
Lancer: OK, but this time you play goalie and I shoot?
Teddy: You've got it, Lance!
Sweetheart: Have fun, Teddy!
Teddy: Thanks, Sweetheart. Pals?
Sweetheart: Pals.

Teddy: Well, Teddy, our secret's safe. And you know what? Some day, I'm going to have to let you spend some time with Sweetheart. I think she's the kind of girl you could really get to like...

Blue Ribbon Blues

Sweetheart: Teddy, stop! Give back my basket! Give it back to me!
Teddy: Got to catch me first, Sweetheart!
Sweetheart: Oh, you ruined our picnic, you big bully! Now get my stuff out of the lake - right now!
Teddy: But, er...
Sweetheart: You can swim, can't you?
Teddy: Of course I can. I...I just don't like the water.
Sweetheart: Oh, Teddy! Why, oh why, do I waste my time with you? All you know how to do is make other ponies feel bad!
Teddy: Not true, not true! I can do lots of other things!
Sweetheart: Like what?
Teddy: Well, like...like...like...farming!
Sweetheart: Farming?!
Teddy: Yeah, my cousin, Corny, lives on a farm. I love farming! I can even take you there to prove it!
Sweetheart: Gee, sounds like more fun than the picnic. I'll ask my parents if I can go.
Teddy: Er...great. I'll call Corny as soon as I...er...get home!

Sweetheart: Hmm...I really, truly love the smell of the country! This is the first ever time I'll have gotten an egg right from the chicken! Er...what do I do first?
Corny: Well, the first thing you do is...
Teddy: I'll show her! The first thing you have to do is let the hen know who's boss! OK, move!
Hens: *Angry clucking noises*
Teddy: Ow!
Corny: Er...that's not really the way to do it, Teddy...
Teddy: Oh yeah? Watch me! Give me that basket! Move! Out of the way! Hit the road, hen! Beat it! Give me that egg!
Hens: *Angrier clucking noises*
Teddy: Ow! ............. Ow! Watch it! Hey, shove off!
Corny: Teddy, stop!
Teddy: Hey! Ow! Leave me alone! Get away from me! Stop! Whhhhoooooooaaah! Oof! Yuck! Ugh!
Sweetheart: Are you OK?
Teddy: Fine. I just wanted some...exercise. Here's your eggs.
Corny: Thanks. But we really didn't want them scrambled!
Sweetheart: Ah, he's ever so cute.
Corny: Yup, that's Yorkie! He's going to win a blue ribbon tomorrow at the fair!
Teddy: Ha! For what? Being the fattest and the ugliest?
Yorkie: *Disgruntled oinking*
Mr. Meadowsweet: OK, everyone! Time for the harvest!
It's harvest time,
Come along with me!
It's harvest time,
Wait 'til you see,
The combine machine,
It does two jobs,
It cuts down the corn stalks,
Then strips off the cobs!
Meadowsweet Family: It's harvest time,
We've got bushels of fun!
It's harvest time,
There's so much to get done!
Doing the chores we have to do,
But we're having fun spending harvest time with you!
Mr. Meadowsweet: It's harvest time,
Come on, everyone! Join in!
Meadowsweet Family: It's harvest time,
Here's how we begin!
Mr. Meadowsweet: We shovel the grain,
Mrs. Meadowsweet: We pack up the sacks,
Corny: We puff it up for popcorn!
Daisy: We never relax!
Meadowsweet Family: It's harvest time,
So much to be done,
It's harvest time,
And we're having fun!
Doing the chores we have to do,
We're all having fun spending harvest time,
We're all having fun spending harvest time,
I'm having fun spending harvest time with you!

Corny: Hi, Teddy! I'm getting Yorkie ready for the fair. Want to help?
Teddy: Huh! I don't care about Yorkie - I care about Sweetheart.
Corny: Well, so do I...
Teddy: Yeah, well she's my girlfriend, not yours!
Corny: Huh! She won't be if you keep acting like a jerk!
Teddy: Ugh! I hope you lose tomorrow!
Yorkie: *More disgruntled oinks*

Teddy: *Snores* Huh? Hey, give me that!
Yorkie: *Angry oinking*
Teddy: Stop! Get back! It's mine! No, you'll rip it! Oh no!
Sweetheart: Teddy, what happened?
Corny: Yorkie!
Mr. Meadowsweet: What's going on here?
Teddy: I was sleeping, and Yorkie came in and...and...
Corny: Why, it's a teddy bear!
Mrs. Meadowsweet: What? Is it yours, Teddy?
Teddy: Well, actually I...er, I...I brought it for Daisy! It was going to be a surprise!
Daisy: Bear for me?
Sweetheart: I can sew it up for you, Daisy, OK?
Daisy: Now?
Sweetheart: As soon as I can.
Corny: Come on, Yorkie, you need your rest.
Mrs. Meadowsweet: Well, go back to sleep, Teddy. We'll clean up in the morning.
Teddy: Sweetheart, I...I just wanted to say that I...er...
Sweetheart: Goodnight, Teddy.
Teddy: Thanks for keeping my secret about my teddy bear. *Sighs*

*Cockerel crows*
Yorkie: Oink?
Teddy: You tore my teddy bear, and I'm going to get you, Yorkie!
Yorkie: *Terrified oinking*
Teddy: *Laughs* Er...hi!
Corny: Where's Yorkie?
Teddy: I...er...I was just coming to tell you, he...he's gone.
Sweetheart: Oh no!
Corny: Come on, we've got to find him! Yorkie! Yorkie! Yorkie!
Sweetheart: You don't have anything to do with this, do you?
Teddy: Me? No! Uh-uh!
Sweetheart: *Sighs* if this is your good side, I'm really, truly sorry you showed it to me.

Corny: Yorkie!
Yorkie: Oiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeennnnnkkkk!
Corny: Yorkie! I'm coming, Yorkie! Hang on! Now, Yorkie, swim to shore! Whoah! I'm stuck! Help! Heeeeellp! Heeeeeeelllllp! Teddy, help me!
Teddy: I'm...I'm afraid of the...the water!
Corny: There's nothing to be afraid of. Come on! Help me!
Teddy: *Laughs* You're right! This is fun!
Corny: Hey, what about me?
Teddy: Oh, yeah! Coming!
Sweetheart: Oh my, oh my! Teddy, Corny, are you all right?
Corny: Thanks to Teddy. He saved my life!
Sweetheart: Teddy, I thought you hated water.
Teddy: *Laughs* Not any more.
Sweetheart: You are wonderful, Teddy.

Sweetheart: Come on, Teddy! Last chance! You can do it! Oh, Teddy! You won, you won, you won, you won!
Daisy: Ooh, bear fixed. Bear mine now.
Teddy: Er...yours?
Sweetheart: Teddy!
Teddy: Why...er...sure, Daisy! It's yours!
Daisy: Thank you! Me go see Corny now!
Fairground Stall Holder: OK, here's your prize, pal!
Teddy: Oh no! Not a pig!

Farming Judge: This year's blue ribbon for the ........., pluckiest pig goes to...Yorkie!
Crowd: *Cheers*

Teddy: I was just thinking, Daisy. Wouldn't you rather have this great big, brand new pig, instead of that little dirty old teddy bear?
Daisy: Me love bear!
Teddy: I know, but if you trade me, you'll have a pig just like your brother's, only prettier! What do you say?
Daisy: Hmmm...OK!
Teddy: Now that was fair, wasn't it? Daisy's happy.
Sweetheart: And you got your teddy bear back!
Teddy: That makes everybody happy! Would you, er...would you hold this for me, just 'til we get home?
Sweetheart: You know what I think, Teddy? I think you have a good side after all!
Teddy: Yeah, well, just don't tell anybody, OK?

Roll Around The Clock

Melody: Watch this!
Ace: Hey, I could do that blindfolded!
Starlight: They're good. There's going to be lots of competition in the Rollerskating Dance Contest. I'm glad you're my partner.
Un-named pony with rope symbol: We'll be perfect.
Clover: Whoooaaaah! *Laughs* This is fun, Dandy!
Dandy: Yeah, let's get up so we can fall down again! Uh-oh!
Clover: It's Patch and Buddy!
Patch/Buddy: Heads up! *Laughs*
Sweetheart: Teddy!
Teddy: Hang on, Sweetheart! Let's crack the whip! Oof!

Bright Eyes: Whoah! Be right there! Aaah!
Bon Bon: Bright Eyes, are you in there?
Bright Eyes: Yes, I'm here, I think...
Un-named pony with a spinning top symbol: We'd like two tickets to the dance contest please.
Lancer: Hello! Rollerama! This is Lancer speaking.
Bright Eyes: I don't know how to stop! Ugh!
Lancer: Sorry, this is for you.
Bright Eyes: Thanks. Whoops! Yes, we still have tickets left. See you! Thanks...um, you can...go and skate now. I can handle this.
Lancer: OK, but...um...well...
Bright Eyes: Aaaah!
Lancer: I'll...I'll get you another roll of tickets, then maybe I'd better just...get out of your way?
Bright Eyes: Yeah! Aaagh!
Un-named pony with a spinning top symbol: Bright Eyes, where are our tickets?
Bright Eyes: Coming!
Un-named pony with a spinning top symbol: Thanks!
Starlight: I...er, hear...Lancer doesn't have a partner yet, Bright Eyes.
Bright Eyes: Really? He's such a good skater. If I was his partner, I'd probably just embarrass him.

Ace: Hey, Lancer! Why don't you ask Bright Eyes to be your partner for the dance contest?
Teddy: Yeah, she doesn't have a partner yet either.
Lancer: Really? She's so cute. I'd really like Bright Eyes to be my partner, but she's so busy she probably wouldn't go with me.
Ace: Lancer! You've got the wrong attitude, dude!
Teddy: Right, if you want something you've got to go get it!
Lancer: Gee, I...I don't know. That doesn't sound like me.

Starlight: Well, I know Bright Eyes wants to ask Lancer to be her partner, but she's afraid he'll turn her down!
Melody: Huh! She just needs a little lesson in irresistable charm!
Starlight: Great idea! A makeover!

Bright Eyes: Guys? Guys! I've a million things to do before tonight!
Patch: Like what?
Bright Eyes: Well...um...the...the tickets!
Clover: Uh-uh! You've already done that!
Bright Eyes: Yeah, but there are the...the prizes!
Starlight: That's done too, and you know it!
Melody: Huh! The only thing left is to get you and Lancer teamed up!

Lancer: Er...I don't know about this, guys.
Teddy: Listen! The thing with girls is, they like you to play hard to get. Sit down! We're going to tell it like it is!
Lancer: *Coughs* I don't understand why I...I can't just be myself.
Ace: Because as yourself you'll have no partner for the skate-dance contest, right?
Teddy: But when we get done with you, you'll have girls hanging all over you!
Want the girls at your feet?
Don't be friendly or sweet.
Ace: Lesson number one,
Listen to me, son,
Here's the way it's done!
Don't act shy and nervous like a foo-oo-ool,
You have to play the part -
Teddy/Ace: Play cool!
Lancer: Cool?
Teddy/Ace: Cool!
Bon Bon: Want to catch the boys eye?
Bake a chocolate cream pie!
Patch: Let him know you like,
Riding on a bike,
Going for a hi-ike!
Melody: Sachet down the halls when you're at schoo-oo-ool!
Starlight: You have to play it smart!
Starlight/Melody/Patch/Bon Bon: Play cool!
Teddy/Ace: When a girl is there,
Act like you don't care!
Starlight/Melody/Patch/Bon Bon: Play it meek and coy,
That's the way to win the boy!
Teddy/Ace: Don't be left on the shelf,
Learn to package yourself!
Starlight/Melody/Patch/Bon Bon: It's a common fact,
Putting on an act,
Helps you to attract!
When in doubt, recall this golden ru-u-ule!
You want to win his heart?
Teddy/Ace: You want to win her heart?
Starlight/Melody/Patch/Bon Bon/Teddy/Ace: Play cool!
Lancer/Bright Eyes You're sure this is going to work?

Starlight: He's here!
Bright Eyes: I think I've changed my mind...
Starlight: Too late!
Lancer: I don't want to do this. Bright Eyes will think I'm...I'm dumb!
Teddy: Who are you going to trust? You, or us? Go on!
Starlight: Go!
Lancer: Hi!
Bright Eyes: Oh, yeah...Hi!
Lancer: Er...well...
Ace: Don't just stand there - tell her how cool you are!
Lancer: Did you know I...I have the largest book collection of anyone in the school?
Ace: Oh boy, this guy needs work!
Bright Eyes: Oh, that's nice...I guess...
Melody: Bright Eyes, you've got to really get his attention! Try this - boys love to see your hair sway!
Bright Eyes: Whoa! I can't see! Whooaahh...Aaaaah! Oof!
Melody: That wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
Teddy: Ha ha! Now you can insult her! She'll love it, trust me!
Lancer: Er...hey, Bright Eyes! Is that your hair, or a mop? *Laughs*
Bright Eyes: Lancer!
Melody: Say something else to him, Bright Eyes!
Patch: After the way he insulted her, I'd say dump him!
Starlight: Maybe he didn't mean it. Try something else!
Bon Bon: Give him a cookie or something!
Sweetheart: Tell him you really, truly like him!
Teddy: Insult her again!
Ace: No, show her your killer smile!
Teddy: Forget that! Give her flowers that will make her sneeze!
Bright Eyes: Shut up!
Lancer: Get lost!
Lancer/Bright Eyes: What?!
Bright Eyes: I never knew you were such a jerk!
Lancer: And I always thought you were smart - not some air-head!
Ace: How could he mess up a sure thing?
Melody: *Sighs* Guess they just weren't meant to be.

Bright Eyes: Thank you, have fun. Thank you, have fun. Thank you, have fun...
Un-named pony with spinning top symbol: Oh, we will.
Bright Eyes: *Sighs* Oh, music for the contest! Whoooaaaaah!
Lancer: Bright Eyes? Here, let me help you, if...if you still want me to.
Bright Eyes: That would be nice, only if you want to.
Lancer/Bright Eyes: Bright Eyes/Lancer, I...
Bright Eyes: I wasn't acting like myself before. I was acting like...well, like I thought you'd like me to act.
Lancer: Me too! I...I thought you were so busy I had to do something outrageous to get your attention.
Bright Eyes: But I don't skate nearly good enough. I knew you'd never want to be my partner.
Lancer: But I could teach you!
Bright Eyes: Oh, really?
Lancer: Yeah! Hey, wait right here! Ready for your first lesson?
Bright Eyes: I certainly am!
Rollerskating Contest Judge: Ponies! Our contest will now begin. As I eliminate you and your partner, please leave the ring. The last pony team remaining, will be our winners!
Dandy: Here we go! Whoops!
Rollerskating Contest Judge: Good try, ponies. Thank you, thank you.
Dandy: Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Clover: But I just wished it could have lasted a little longer.
Teddy: Hey, Sweetheart! Let's crack the whip!
Sweetheart: No, Teddy! Aaaaah!
Rollerskating Contest Judge: Sorry. Running into the judge calls for a penalty - you're through.
Teddy: Oh, rats!
Melody: Ta-Da!
Ace: You mean, Ta-Da!
Melody: No, I mean, Ta-Da!
Ace/Melody: Oof! It was his/her fault!
Rollerskating Contest Judge: I don't know who's fault it was, but you're both out! This is a rollerdance contest, not an eating contest.
Bon Bon: Um...
Un-named pony with spinning top symbol: Sorry.
Buddy: Hey, Patch! Over to you!
Patch: She winds up, and she shoots! Ooops! We're out, huh?
Rollerskating Contest Judge: Yep! See me later about our hockey team! That's rollerdancing!
Bright Eyes: Well, at least we tried.
Rollerskating Contest Judge: You certainly did, and you've won!

All: *Cheers*
Melody: I don't get it. She didn't follow any of our directions.
Ace: Yeah, and he was a real loser in my book!
Sweetheart: *Sighs* They don't look like losers to me. They look really, truly perfect!
Bright Eyes: This is all very nice, Lancer, but it really belongs to you.
Lancer: Uh-uh, Bright Eyes. We did this together.

Princess Problems

Orphan Ponies: *Excited chattering*
Patch: Yep, playground's shaping up real well. You guys were great to help me with my project. The orphan ponies are going to love this!
Orphan Pony: Is our playground done yet?
Patch: OK, it's all yours now!
Orphan Ponies: *Cheers*
Patch: Wow! I guess they like it!
Melody: Oh wow, Patch. Did you really used to live here, at this orphanage?
Patch: Sure did, 'til my parents adopted me.
Rosy: It's not so bad here. But I have to confess, having my own parents would be really nice.
Patch: You'll get parents someday. Hey! That's the best rainbow I've ever seen!
Bon Bon: Hey, everybody! Look!
Melody: Ooh, do you think it's some rockstar?
Sweetheart: Only a princess would have something like that!
Starlight: Or a queen.
Bon Bon: Neat!
Clover: Owwwwwwww....
Patch: Are you OK?
Clover: I...I...I think so. I'm sure glad we're finished.
Patch: OK, come on! I'll buy everyone ice cream sodas. You too, Rosy!
Rosy: You go on ahead. I'll be there just as soon as I finish with this.

Patch: What's up?
Clover: It's the most excit...no, wonde...no, terrific news, Patch! Look!
Patch: The King and Queen of the Isle Of Pony are coming here? Huh! That must be who we saw. So?
Starlight: So, listen to this. They're looking for their long-lost daughter!
Sweetheart: A really, truly princess pony.
Bon Bon: Could be right here in our very own Ice Cream Shop!
Melody: It would be so cool to be a princess!
Sweetheart: Isn't it romantic?
Patch: Yeah, if you like that sort of stuff. But what's all this princess nonsense got to do with us?
Starlight: Well, listen to this. The princess pony was lost at sea when she was just a tiny baby. Her birthday is March 16th.
Bright Eyes: Wow! That's your birthday too, Patch.
Patch: Yeah, well, so lots of people have my birthday.
Starlight: She has bright pink hair...
Clover: Pink hair? Just like Patch?
Starlight: ...yellow eyes...
Bon Bon: Oh my gosh!
Melody: What else, Starlight?
Starlight: ...and a red birthmark on her front right hoof. Look! It's right here! Patch, you are the princess!
Patch: I never noticed that before...
Starlight: It's a good thing I found it then!
Melody: Face it, Patch, you're a princess! And I'm the best friend of a princess! Help! This is too much!
Bon Bon: This is great news! I'll have to bake a cake!
Patch: Hey! Wait a minute! This can't be true!
Bright Eyes: It is true. Your birthday is March 16th, you have bright pink hair, yellow eyes, you have the spot on your hoof and, after all, you were adopted!
Sweetheart: I always knew you were really, truly special.
Patch: Hmm...my parents always said I was special too. Maybe I am a princess!
All: *Excited chattering*
Melody: Rosy! You'll never believe it - Patch is a real princess! Come on! Help us get her ready to meet the king and queen!
Rosy: Sure, whatever you say!

Mrs. Patch: Hi, honey! Would you and your friends like some cookies and milk?
Patch: No thanks, Mum. We're in kind of a hurry.
Mrs. Patch: Kids! Always in a hurry.
Patch: All right, let's see what we've got! Oh, boy! I don't know what a princess would wear, but I must have something in here... What do you think, guys? Guys?!
All: Yeah.
Bright Eyes: Patch, we have to do better than this.
All: Yeah!
Starlight: We'll fix you up!
All: A princess must look beautiful,
Or else it must seem grand,
So we'll use this bit of lace,
Starlight: And this tattered pillow case!
And whatever else we find on hand!
All: A princess must look beautiful,
And dress with style and flair,
So we'll make a royal cape,
Starlight: By recycling that old drape!
And some fringe from that old easy chair!
All: A princess must have diamonds,
Strung from end to end!
Melody: But look! Your Mum has all these rhinestone trinkets she can lend!
All: A princess must look tailored,
Trim as she can be!
Bon Bon: You don't want those jellybeans -
Give them all to me!
All: We tried to make you beautiful,
Somehow by hook or crook,
For a princess must look beautiful!
And surprise!
Patch: That's how I look?
Are you sure about this? It doesn't seem like me.
Melody: Patch, if you can't trust us, who can you trust?
Rosy: Ooh, they're right. You're really beautiful! Ooops...my hair rinse is coming out! Oh well! There!
Bright Eyes: Gee, Rosy, I didn't know your natural colour was pink.
Rosy: Oh, yeah! It's fun to try different hair colours.
Starlight: We'd better be going!
Patch: Um...er, first let me help my dad.
Sweetheart: Patch, a princess would never, ever do something so ordinary.
Melody: Get with it, Patch! Once you're a princess, you won't be living with them any more!
Patch: I...won't? Gee, I guess I won't, will I?
Melody: Come on, everybody!
Mrs. Patch: Oh, don't you look nice?
Mr. Patch: A real beauty you are. But I think that even when your face is smudged with dirt! *Laughs*
Mrs. Patch: I'll bet you're off to the Little Pony Theatre for an audition.
Patch: I...I guess you could call it an audition...
Mrs. Patch: If that's what you want, Patch, dear, go for it!
Mr. Patch: Yeah, we just want our girl to be happy!
Patch: Yeah...
Starlight: It's getting late, Patch!
Patch: Bye, Mum! Bye, Dad! I...I love you!

*Excited and nervous voices*
Melody: *Laughs* Who are they kidding? None of them can even come close to matching the princess!
Clover: I can't see. How many are there? Uh..Uh..Uh..Whoah! Oww... Look!
Queen Of The Isle Of Pony: I'm sorry, my dear, but you are not my daughter.
Rosy: Ooh, the King and Queen are so wonderful. You're so lucky, Patch.
Patch: Yeah...lucky...

Usher: Next!
Patch: You know, this is probably just a waste of time. Why don't we leave now?
Melody: Hold on! Patch!
Patch: I...I can't do this!
Usher: Whooooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
Starlight: What could be wrong?
All: Come on! Where are you going? Come back!
Starlight: Why did you run away?
Patch: I don't want to live in some fancy place, or dress up every day.
Melody: Patch! Get with it! You don't want to be a princess?
Patch: I especially don't want to leave my parents. Would you want to leave your mother?
Melody: Well, no, of course not...
Patch: Oh, if it wasn't for this dumb birthmark. What...Look! It's coming off!
Starlight: You're right! It is! This looks a lot like the paint we were using on the playground!
Patch: Fantastic! I'm not the princess after all! And I don't have to wear this stuff any more! Oooh!
Melody: Patch, you've got to be the princess! Who else fits the description? Pink hair, yellow eyes, March 16th birthday...
Rosy: Oh, that's my birthday too.
Melody: Yeah, but do you have a red birthmark on your right front hoof?
Rosy: Sure. So what?
Patch: You do?
Clover: Rosy is the real princess!
Rosy: Me? Are you sure?
Patch: I'm so happy it's you, Rosy, and not me!
Bright Eyes: You know we'd better get back to the King and Queen before they leave!
All: Yeah! You're right! Hurry!

Queen Of The Isle Of Pony: I was so hoping this time we would find her.
King Of The Isle Of Pony: Some day we will find her, my dear. We must keep hoping.

Rosy: We're...too late!
Patch: Don't give up yet, Rosy!
King Of The Isle Of Pony: Ugh! This is an outrage! Who is responsible for this?
Patch: Er...I am, Sir. But it's for a very good reason. May I present to you, and the queen, Princess Rosy.
Queen Of The Isle Of Pony: Is it possible?
King Of The Isle Of Pony: Only one way to know for sure.
Queen Of The Isle Of Pony: We've found our daughter at last.
Princess Rosy: Oh, Mum! Dad!
Sweetheart: I just really, truly love happy endings.
Patch: Me too!

An Apple For Starlight

Miss Hackney: Today, we're going to study history and mechanics. Now, this is called a pulley - you use it to lift heavy weights.
All: *Laughs*
Miss Hackney: *Coughs* I see a lot of little ponies who don't want recess today.
All: Oh...
Miss Hackney: That's better. Now then, as I was saying, this is called a pulley. Oh...I feel a little faint!
Sweetheart: Are you OK, Miss Hackney?
Miss Hackney: Well, I...I'm a bit dizzy for some reason. Oh, I may have a touch of fever. I...I really don't think I should teach today!
Teddy: So we should all just go home, eh?
Miss Hackney: Oh, no, no, no! I always record my lessons just in case something like this happens. Starlight, will you come up here, please?
Starlight: Yes, Miss Hackney?
Miss Hackney: Now, I want you to teach the class today.
Starlight: You do?
Miss Hackney: Yes, just play this tape, and make sure everyone studies their history and the lesson on mechanics. I...I expect all of you to mind Starlight as you would me. I'll try to come back later today.
All: *Loud talking voices*
Bon Bon (with mouth full of cake): Hey, what was that?
All: *Laughs*
Starlight: *Coughs* I hope I don't have to cancel recess today?
Clover: Ow!
All: *Laughs*
Starlight: Melody!
Melody: Oh, OK...
Starlight: Just because Miss Hackney isn't here doesn't mean we're not going to learn! Let's see what lessons she has on the tape.
Miss Hackney (on tape recorder): Melody, if you wanted to lift a hundred pound sack of flour four feet in the air, how would you use a pulley to do it? Melody, stop listening to your music! Bon Bon, do you know the answer? If you wanted to lift a hundred pound sack of flour four feet in the air...
Bon Bon: *Muffled talking with mouth full of cake*
Miss Hackney (on tape recorder): I didn't think so.
Teddy: Oh, I know! Bon Bon would eat it!
All: *Laughs*
Starlight: That does it! Bright Eyes, Sweetheart, come up here! Maybe we can make them understand the importance of learning their lessons!
Lessons, lessons,
Pay attention to your lessons,
Though they may be tiring,
Knowledge is a precious thing!
Sweetheart/Bright Eyes: Not much glamour,
Learning all the rules of grammar,
Still the things we learn at school,
May some day be a helpful tool!
Starlight: We should study history -
It offers lessons at almost every turn!
Sweetheart/Bright Eyes: Study well each episode,
You'll thank your stars for the things you learn!
Starlight: Reading, writing,
Doesn't always seem exciting,
Still next time you get depressed,
When cramming for tomorrow's test...
Sweetheart: ...Stop delaying,
Though you'd rather be out playing,
Give your thoughts to study for a spell!
Starlight/Sweetheart/Bright Eyes: Some day it may come to pass,
You'll use the things you learn at class!
So learn your lessons well,
Learn your lessons well!
All: *Loud talking voices*
Starlight: OK, if that's the way you want to be, I'm going to report everyone to Miss Hackney!
All: *Gasps*

Starlight: Oh, what am I doing wrong? I don't want everyone to hate me, but Miss Hackney trusted me to help her out.
Starlight's Reflection In Mirror: You're trying to be Miss Hackney, instead of just being yourself! Everyone can have fun and still learn their lessons!
Starlight: Hmm...you're right, you're right!

Teddy: So, did you report us?
Starlight: I have a better idea - we're going on a field trip!
Bright Eyes: But Miss Hackney said for us to learn our Ponyland history.
Starlight: And, that's exactly what we're going to do! Follow me!

Starlight: That's Pony Rock. The first pony settlers discovered Ponyland from up there.
Teddy: How do you know?
Bright Eyes: Because she's the teacher, that's how!
Starlight: Listen, there's more...
Miss Hackney (on tape recorder): The very first pony settlers lived in what they now call Pinto Cave.
Patch: I bet that's Pinto Cave over there!
Miss Hackney (on tape recorder): Pinto Cave is now off limits to little ponies because no pony in modern times has ever fully explored it.
Starlight: Patch, come back here!
Patch: The entrance!
Ace: Let's go inside!
Starlight: Wait! Don't go in there!

Patch: Wow!
Starlight: We're not supposed to be in here. It's dangerous!
Patch: Oh, come on, Starlight! How could something so beautiful be dangerous?
Starlight: I guess we can explore just a little.
Bright Eyes: What about our history lesson?
Starlight: Yeah! This can be our classroom today!
Clover: Isn't it getting kind of dark in here?
Ace: Yeah, somebody hit the light switch!
Patch: I've got an emergency flashlight! Look, the "Archway To The Past"!
Starlight: How do you know?
Patch: I don't - I just made it up! *Laughs* Pretty neat, huh?
Starlight: Er, as your teacher, and the pony in charge of your safety, I don't think it's a good idea to go in there.
Ace: Great, let's go!
All: *Screams*
Starlight: Oof! Everyone OK?
All: Yeah! I guess so. I think I'm OK...
Patch: Look over there! Maybe it's some lost pony treasure!
Ace: Come on! Let's see if I can open it! We're rich!
Teddy: Oh yeah, real rich...if old tools are money.
Melody: Don't spend it all at once, Ace!
Patch: I bet this is the wagon hitch from the pony settlers!
Sweetheart: Wow, a real piece of Ponyland history, and we found it!
Bright Eyes: Let's take it back and show it to Miss Hackney!
Starlight: That's a good idea. We should be getting back anyway.
Patch: Whoah! Sure is slippery!
Ace: Oh, we can handle it. I'll pull, you push!
Bright Eyes: You have to be very careful - there's minimal traction.
Teddy: Yeah! It's slick too!
Starlight: Well, the good news is nobody's hurt.
Sweetheart: The bad news is that we can't get out of here!
Clover: We might never be found down here!
Starlight: Let's not panic 'cause the pony settlers got in here, and they got out. All we have to figure is how.
Teddy: Sure, easy as pie!
Starlight: Wait a second! Maybe there's something useful on Miss Hackney's tape!
Miss Hackney (on tape recording): Our pony ancestors were very clever, and learned how to use the things around them as tools for such things as finding food and to lift heavy objects.
Starlight: That's it! If the pony settlers could do it, so can we! Well, is anybody going to help me, or do you all want to stay here until we're older than the settlers?
Bright Eyes: Of course! With this wagon hitch, and that wheel, we can make a pulley!
Ace: Yeah! Just like the one Miss Hackney showed us this morning!
Teddy: Hey, this is cool! I never thought I'd actually use something I learned in school!
Patch: Uh-oh! My batteries ran out!
Clover: Oh, I hate the dark!
Starlight: Don't worry, Clover. You're with friends.
Clover: What good are friends if you can't see them?
Bright Eyes: I have an idea! We can use the batteries from the tape recorder!
Bon Bon: I'll do it! There! Now try it, Patch!
Patch: Hey, we're back in business!
Starlight: Clover, Bon Bon, help get the wheel on to the bar! That's it! Now, where's the rope that was in that old trunk?
Sweetheart: Here it is! Catch!
Starlight: All right, pull it tight! There, one pulley ready for action! OK, walk it over to the opening. Now anchor it! Now wedge that end into the rocks up there!
All: *Cheers*
Starlight: It's just tall enough. I...I think it'll work. OK, Clover, you're first. All right, everybody, pull! Just take it slow and easy! *Sighs* One down! Clover, toss your end of the rope back to us!
Clover: You've got it!
Starlight: OK, Bon Bon, you're next...

Starlight: Come on, Ace! Almost there!
Ace: All right! We did it!
Clover: Er...Starlight, who's going to pull Ace up here?
Ace: Hey, no sweat! I'm the best athlete at school, remember?
Teddy: Show off!
Ace: This is dead easy!
All: *Cries of alarm as the pulley begins to un-anchor itself*
Ace: Like I said, dead easy!
Bon Bon: OK, let's eat!
Starlight: OK, we're all safe! Everyone back to the Schoolhouse!

Starlight: Miss Hackney! Are you feeling better?
Miss Hackney: Oh yes! Much better, thank you. Starlight, this is for you, for being the substitute teacher.
Starlight: Oh, well...thank you!
Miss Hackney: So have you all done your lessons for today?
All: Yes, Miss Hackney!
Starlight: We just followed your...tape! Ace even gave us a demonstration on how to use a pulley!
Miss Hackney: Well, I am glad to hear that! I always say learning should be fun, right, class?
All: Yes, Miss Hackney! *Giggles*

[Lancer]

Up, Up And Away

Patch: Wow - a UFO!
Bright Eyes: An unidentified flying object.
Clover: There's another one!
All: *Giggles*
Bon Bon: Oh...
Patch: Bright Eyes is talking about things like spaceships and flying saucers.
Starlight: Come on, Patch! Those things don't exist!
Bright Eyes: It says here the UFO was spotted right above Pony Point!
Patch: Hey, maybe they'll come back! Let's hike up there tonight and wait for them. This could be the greatest adventure of our lives!

Sweetheart: Gee, it's sorta, kinda awfully high!
Bon Bon: And...and the trail's so skinny!
Patch: Oh, what's the matter with all of you? Take a risk for once in your lives! Be daring!
Starlight: Sometimes it's better to be careful.
Patch: Careful is boring! I'm going up!
Chief: Sorry, Patch. You can't go up there.
Patch: Er...why's that, Chief?
Chief: Well, didn't you hear about the UFO?
Clover: No, uh-uh! Nada! So we just wanted to see the flying saucer!
Patch: Clover!
Chief: Aha, so you did know!
Patch: But Chief...
Chief: It's too dangerous. If that UFO comes back tonight, every pony in town will want to go up there. So go home, all of you!
All: *Sighs*
Patch: Books are filled with heroes willing to take chances. I want to be like them!

Miss Hackney: The act of flying is based on the principles of aerodynamics. There are two basic forces - lift, and drag. Lift gives an airplane the ability to climb into the air and hold it up during the flight. Drag is an aerodynamic force that resists the forward motion of the object. The shape of the object influences...
Patch: I've had it with this boring old routine,
My days are dull and so free of strife,
I need a brief diversion,
Like a jungle land excursion,
Oh, where's the adventure in my life?
I'd like to commandeer a submarine,
Or hike up to the top of a soaring peak!
Or be an aviator -
Look! A live volcano crater!
Oh, where's the adventure that I seek?
Something so exciting,
Sounds so inviting,
I need to go out and get away!
Maybe mountain trailing,
Or para sailing,
Or be a spy,
Or a private eye,
Or a pirate stowaway!
Perhaps I'll travel in a time machine,
Or steer a canoe over serging streams!
Who wants to study science,
When I could be battling giants?
Oh, where's the adventure...
I want more adventure...
I want more adventure in my dreams!
Miss Hackney: And now, class, I have a surprise for you.
Patch: Oh!
Miss Hackney: I'd like you to meet someone very special. Follow me, please!
Patch: Wow!
Miss Hackney: I'd like you all to meet my old and dear friend, Mr. Kadoo, who was kind enough to come here today to give you a lesson in aerodynamics.
Mr. Kadoo: How do you do, how do you do, how do you do, My Little Ponies? What a treat it is to be here on this glorious, glorious afternoon! And a fond greeting to you, Miss Hackney - you look as wonderful as ever!
Little Ponies: *Giggles*
Miss Hackney: Why, thank you, Mr. Kadoo!
Patch: Can I go for a ride?
Mr. Kadoo: Er...wouldn't it be wise to first learn the basic principles of ballooning?
Patch: Hmm...yeah! Sure! I'm ready - let's hear them!
Mr. Kadoo: But first, I would love a cup of tea, Miss Hackney. Is that possible?
Miss Hackney: Er...yes...um, of course, Mr. Kadoo...
Patch: But...but...but what about the balloon?
Mr. Kadoo: I never discuss ballooning before tea. Miss Hackney?
Miss Hackney: Come, ponies!
All: Ooh, I think Miss Hackney likes him. Yeah, she does! *Giggles*
Bon Bon: *Gasp* Patch, what are you doing? You'd better get out of there before something happens!
Patch: Look! The instruction manual! Let's see...er, here it is! The blast valve!
Bon Bon: It...it's moving!
Patch: Relax, Bon Bon! It can't go anywhere! It's held down by that rope.
Bon Bon: This little rope?
Patch: This is fun!
Bon Bon: Patch, don't! Oh no! Jump! I'm holding it down! Heeeeeellllpp!
Patch: Hey, I'm flying! I'm really flying!
Bon Bon: Now get this thing down!
Patch: No way! We're going on an adventure!
Bon Bon: No, you can't do this!
Ponies: Oh my gosh! Patch, come back! Oh no! Don't go! Come back here! It's not safe!
Patch: It's OK, we're fine!
Bon Bon: No, we're not...
Patch: Don't worry - I've got the instructions. See you later!

Miss Hackney: Do you think, Mr Kadoo, that it's safe for the balloon to stay in the school yard?
Mr. Kadoo: I don't know why not, Miss Hackney. Certainly none of your students are qualified to fly it!
Patch: Hey, Mr. Kadoo! Miss Hackney! How are you doing down there?
Miss Hackney/Mr. Kadoo: Oh no!

Patch: Oh, his is incredible! I'm feeling the wind!
Bon Bon: I feel sick.
Patch: Sit back and enjoy the ride! There goes the tropical island. Come on, Bon Bon! You're missing all the fun!
Bon Bon: Just let me know when we land, OK?
Patch: This book is the key to our adventure. To continue ascending, burn more fuel.
Bon Bon: But the flame's going out!
*Squawks*
Bon Bon: What was that?
Patch: Hey! Get away from here! Shoo! Don't do that!
Bon Bon: Go away!
Patch: What are you doing? You just threw away the instructions!
Bon Bon: I did? I hope you have a good memory! Patch, he's popped it!
Patch: Well, at least the flame's still working.
Bon Bon: What else could possibly happen?
Patch/Bon Bon: Sharks!
Bon Bon: Oh no!
Patch: Don't worry, Bon Bon. I'll protect you!
Bon Bon: How?
Patch: I'm thinking. It's the UFO!
Bon Bon: Patch, this isn't a time to make jokes! Do something!
Patch: Bon Bon, look! It's Glowing Magical Ponies!
Bon Bon: Sure, what happened to the UFO?
Patch: I mean it, Bon Bon. It's really them! Look out! Be careful! All right!
Bon Bon: What's happening? What's going on?
Patch: Never mind. You wouldn't believe it anyway! She re-lit the burner! You guys are great!
Bright Glow: You are safe now. You can guide yourself and return home.
Patch: Where do you live? Are there more of you?
Bright Glow: We must go.
Patch: Wait! There's so much I want to know.
Bright Glow: Be patient, Patch. You have your whole life ahead of you.
Patch: I'll never forget you!
Bright Glow: And never forget to use caution, even on an adventure!
Patch: What's your name?
Bright Glow: They call me Bright Glow. Farewell, Patch!
Patch: Goodbye, and thank you!
Bon Bon: Who were you talking to, and don't tell me "Glowing Magical Ponies"!
Patch: Bon Bon, let's go home!

All: Phew! Here they are! They're safe! Yes, they're OK! Hi, Patch! Hi, Bon Bon!
Starlight: Are you OK?
Patch: It was the adventure of adventures!
Mr. Kadoo: My balloon! My balloon!
Miss Hackney: Well, needless to say, I'm pleased you're both back unharmed, but that doesn't excuse your irresponsible behaviour!
Patch: Look!
Bright Eyes: Oh, it's the UFO!
Patch: See you later!
Sweetheart: Isn't one amazing adventure enough for the day?

Chief: There it is again!

Patch: Bright Glow, I'm here!
Bright Glow: We wanted to be sure you arrived safely from your adventure.
Patch: I'm fine. Can I visit you sometime?
Bright Glow: The future is filled with possibilities. Until then, farewell!
Patch: So long, Bright Glow! I'll find you - some day...

Sister Of The Bride

Clover: Something old - Granny's veil,
Something new - a beautiful shiny hair comb!
Something borrowed - Mum's pearl necklace,
And something blue - a garter!
That's everything! You'll be the best bride ever, Meadowlark!
Meadowlark: Oh, Clover, I hope so. I just can't believe today's my wedding day!
Excuse the silly smile upon my face,
I can't help feeling things will go my way,
My heart is lighter than a song!
How could anything go wrong?
Today's my wedding day!
I see the guests and flowers all in place,
And then a wedding march will start to play!
Wedding guests: She's gorgeous! Stunning! The bride!
So's the groom who's at her side!
Meadowlark: I'm sure that's what they'll say,
Today's my wedding day!
Something's telling me,
Every bird up in the tree,
Will be singing out a song in perfect pitch,
And deep inside I feel a thrill,
To think the ceremony will,
Proceed without a hitch!
We'll exchange a ring and then embrace,
I'll toss my little sister my bouquet!
And then we'll ask each guest to take,
A slice of perfect wedding cake,
At least that's what I pray,
Today's my wedding day!
Clover: And it will be perfect. Positively per...Whoops!
Meadowlark: Got it!
Clover: Oh, I'm so clumsy!
Meadowlark: You're not clumsy, Clover - you're exuberant and full of life!
Clover: I...I am?
Meadowlark: *Giggles*
Clover: Oh great! You got here early!
All: Oh, wow! Look at her! Whoah! You look great!
Melody: Cool, Meadowlark! You look like you're marrying a prince!
Clover: Cheval isn't a prince, but he plays one in the ballet company. He's the handsomest prince ever!
Sweetheart: Oh, it's so really, truly romantic that they're actually getting married!
Clover: You can say that again! See this? Her engagement ring.
Sweetheart: Oh, that's the prettiest ever ring I've ever seen! So how can we help?
Clover: Well, there's still a lot to be done.
Meadowlark: Clover, watch out!
Clover: Oh, the pearls!
Mrs. Clover: My pearls!
Clover: Oh, I'm so sorry!
Meadowlark: Mother, don't worry! Everything will be fine!
Bright Eyes: We'll get them!
Mrs. Clover: Perhaps it would be best if Clover and her friends stayed out of the way, just until it's time for the ceremony?
Clover: We...we just wanted to help.
Meadowlark: Great, 'cause I've got some errands you can run! Here's a list!
Clover: Thank you! Check that the flowers are delivered on time, see that the baker has decorated the cake properly, and pick up the wedding rings? You want me to do all this?
Mrs. Clover: You want her to do all that?
Meadowlark: Absolutely. I know you won't let me down.
Clover: Starlight and Bright Eyes will stay here and fix Mum's pearl necklace.
Bright Eyes: Why, certainly.
Clover: The rest of you come with me - these are really important errands!

Clover: Ooh, they're beautiful! Whoops! Aaah, the rings!
All: Oh no! Oh dear! We've got to get them back! Oh no! What can we do?
Clover: I can't look! How did that happen?
Melody: Look, total luck!
Patch: Clover's always lucky.
Sweetheart: Wait! Isn't it really, truly bad luck for the bride if someone else wears her rings?
Clover: Don't say that! Whenever I'm around Meadowlark, everything goes haywire!
Suzette: Oh, Cheval! You are really wonderful!
Clover: Look! That's Cheval! He's the guy my sister's going to marry!
All: Wow! Look at him! He's so handsome! Gosh!
Suzette: Oh, Cheval, my engagement ring! It is so beautiful!
Cheval: A beautiful girl like you deserves a beautiful engagement ring.
Bon Bon: She's got an engagement ring too!
Patch: The dirty two-timer!
Suzette: I love you, Cheval!
Cheval: I love you too, Suzette!
Sweetheart: Oh no, no, no! He kissed her!
Cheval: Come, Suzette!
Clover: We can hide in there!
Suzette: Cheval, you are the greatest!
Melody: Yeah, Cheval is a no-good!
Patch: Rat!
Clover: Meadowlark will be crushed, just like these flowers. "Flowers for Meadowlark's wedding" - figures! Todays' just a total disaster. Patch, you and Sweetheart take what's left of the flowers back to the house, and don't tell my sister anything. The rest of you come with me - we're going to get to the bottom of this thing with Cheval!
Sweetheart: Hope we didn't ruin them completely.
Patch: Well, if Mrs. Bloom sees them, she'll have a heart attack!

Mrs. Clover: Huh! It's about time you got here with those flowers! All right, times are wasting - let's get these ready for the wedding!
Patch: But Mrs. Bloom! Why don't you let us do that?
Mrs. Clover: Nonsense, Patch. Many hooves make light work of...Oh my! The flowers are ruined! How could Clover let this happen? *Sobs*
Meadowlark: Now, now, Mum, we can still use these!
Patch: Er... Look, you've got a zillion flowers in the garden. I'll make you a beautiful bouquet!
Meadowlark: Great idea! Flowers from our very own garden. I bet Cheval will love it too...
Sweetheart: Cheval! The wedding! *Sobs*
Patch: Don't mind her. She always cries at weddings.
Sweetheart: *Sobs*

Cheval: Are you sure you want to go through with this?
Suzette: Oh yes! I want to get married as soon as possible!
Cheval: In that case, my little Suzette, we'd better take out a wedding cake now.
Clover: How can he marry her, when he's marrying my sister?

Cake Shop Owner: This is my most magnificent cake.
Suzette: Oh, I love it! It will be perfect for my wedding!
Clover: Hey, that's my sister's wedding cake!
Bon Bon: Your sister been had.
Cheval: Don't you think we should tell Meadowlark today?
Suzette: No, no, not today. She'll find out soon enough! *Giggles*
Clover: Cheval's not going to dump my sister and get away with it! I'm going to give him a piece of my mind! Cheval!
Cheval: Clover!
Clover: You can't treat my sister....whoah! Ooh!
Cake Shop Owner: My cake, you've ruined it!
Clover: Cheval, you're the meanest, most awful pony in all of Ponyland! And don't worry about telling Meadowlark. I'll tell her myself that the wedding's off!
Suzette: Who was that little pony?
Cheval: Why, that's little Clover, Meadowlark's little sister.
Bon Bon: How could you?

Bright Eyes: Well, hello, welcome to the wedding.
Sweetheart: *Sobs*
Mrs. Clover: Where's Clover? Where's Cheval?
Clover: Gangway!
Mrs. Clover: What happened to you? Is that cake? Wedding cake?! Oh no! *Sobs*
Clover: Meadowlark, sit down. I've something awful to tell you!
Meadowlark: About...my cake?
Clover: No, about Cheval! He...he...he's here!
Meadowlark: Cheval, Suzette, what's happening?
Clover: Go on! Tell her!
Cheval: Um...tell her what?
Clover: That the wedding is off so that you can marry Suzette.
Mrs. Clover: The wedding's off? Oh no! *Gasp*
Meadowlark: I don't think that's likely to happen - Suzette is Cheval's sister.
Clover: His...his sister?
Suzette: The only pony I intend to marry is my Albere. See? He asked me to marry him last night.
Melody: Uh-oh! I think we blew it - big time!
Clover: I've ruined your wedding! Oh...
Meadowlark: Then we'll just have to fix it, if everyone is willing to help?
All: *Chorus of agreement*

Bright Eyes: We've got all the frosting off.
Bon Bon: I'll make this cake just as good as new. Yeah, there! Ready for the little bride and groom.
Patch: This will make a beautiful bouquet for Meadowlark!
Bon Bon: Looks good enough to eat! In fact...
Melody: Bon Bon, no taste until the wedding!

Clover: Mum! Mum, wake up! Everything's OK now!
Mrs. Clover: Meadowlark, Cheval, the cake, flowers... rings?
Clover: Rings? RINGS!!! Oh, I had them at the bakery but now they're gone! Oh, I've ruined everything! *Sobs*
Mrs. Clover: *Sobs*
Bon Bon: The cake!
Melody: Hey! I said keep your hooves off!
Bon Bon: I have to. Got them. Hmm...they even taste good! I figured you must have lost them when you fell in the cake.
Meadowlark: As you can see, Mother, everything is perfect.
Cheval: Now, my dear, shall we have this ceremony?

Vicar: And do you, Meadowlark, take Cheval to be your lawfully wedded husband.
Meadowlark: I do.
Vicar: Then with these rings, I pronounce you husband and wife!
Wedding Guests: *Cheers*
Clover: Thanks for not being mad that I nearly ruined your wedding.
Meadowlark: Thanks for making my special day one I will never forget!

Birds Of A Feather

All: Hi! How are you! Hello! Great to see you!
Starlight: All right, order, everybody! The meeting will come to order! OK, now, any new business?
Bright Eyes: Yes, I have something that could be of extreme importance. Anyone recognise what this is?
Clover: It's a green-winged songbird.
Bright Eyes: That's correct, Clover. Have you ever actually seen one?
Clover: Well...no. Uh-uh.
Starlight: They used to be all over Ponyland, but nobody's seen one for years.
Sweetheart: How come? Where did they all go?
Starlight: I don't think anyone really knows. Nobody knows if they even still exist.
Patch: It's so weird that such a pretty bird would just vanish.
Sweetheart: It's so...so sad.
Bright Eyes: Don't worry, Sweetheart. I'm gonna see if I can do something about it!

Bright Eyes: I'm very grateful you chose to come along with me to search for the green-wing. So, where do you suppose we should look first?
Bon Bon: How come it's so blank where the old woods are?
Patch: That must be because no-one's ever been there before.
Bright Eyes: If no-one's ever been in the Old Woods, perhaps we'll find the long lost green-wings there!
Patch: Yeah, we'll be real explorers! What now?
Ace: I'm just figuring out the best way to the Old Woods. Let's see... My Pony Scouts compass, and my excellent sense of direction, tell me it's...this way!

Patch: You know, I think we just lost something?
Ace: What's that?
Patch: The trail.
Ace: Yep, that means we're in the old woods all right. Uncharted territory.
Patch: Wow, everything kind of looks the same! Except that rock formation...
Bright Eyes: And that isn't even on the map!
Patch: Hey, that sounds kind of like...
Bon Bon: Bees!
Bright Eyes: Agh...RUN!
Bon Bon: Let's get out of here.
Patch: Are we going the right way?
Ace: Who cares?
Patch: Bon Bon, they're going after your hat!
Bon Bon: Oh no! *Gasps* That was my favourite hat.
Bright Eyes: Looks like it was the bees' favourite hat too. *Laughs*
Patch: Anybody have any idea where we are?
Bon Bon: Oh, I knew it. We're lost, and I only brought a week's supply of food. *Munch* I'm going to sit right here and not move until somebody tells me where we are.
Bright Eyes: Bon Bon, I'll tell you where you are. You're sitting in nettles!
Bon Bon: *Gasps* Oh no! Ow, agh, ouch! Ooh, it itches! Ugh!
Ace: Hold on! My Pony Scout Manual says what to do for something like this. Here.
Bon Bon: What are you doing? First nettles, and now mud?
Bright Eyes: You'll have to hold still.
Bon Bon: But I hate being dirty!
Bright Eyes: There.
Bon Bon: Oh... Just look at me! I'm a mess!
Ace: But I'll bet you don't itch anymore?
Bon Bon: Hey, you're right! It worked! I'd better write this in my diary!
Patch: Ace, does your Pony Scout Manual give any tricks for getting un-lost?
Ace: Hmmm...OK, here's what we've got to do. If we can get to the top of a tall tree, we can look down on the woods and see where we are!
Bright Eyes: Oh well, sounds a good plan to me. Come on!

Bon Bon: Er...I still don't like this idea.
Bright Eyes: But it's a marvellous view! We can see almost all of the Old Woods!
Patch: Yeah, trees and more trees. That Pony Scout Manual might be good for nettles, but not so good for figuring out where you are.
Bon Bon: OH NO!!! I...I'm out of food! Now we're all gonna starve!
Ace: How did you eat a whole week's supply of food in one afternoon?
Bon Bon: Easy. I...I was hungry.
Patch: Hey, I read a book once, called "Wilderness Ponies", about these pioneer ponies who lived on fish and stuff.
Bright Eyes: Excellent idea.
Ace: And I have some emergency fishing line in my Pony Scout survival kit. We just need some bait!
Bright Eyes: Bon Bon, are you sure you don't have any food left that we can use for bait?
Bon Bon: No! R..really. Well, I do have my one little emergency candy bar, for use only in SUPER emergencies!
Bright Eyes: Thank you. This is a super emergency.
Bon Bon: Don't mention it.
Bright Eyes: There certainly should be some fish in that stream. We'll have lunch in no time at all! See? I hooked one!
Patch: Hang on, Bright Eyes!
Ace: Here, let me handle this!
All: *Screams*
Bon Bon: Well, I guess I'd better go rescue them, if we're going to have any lunch.
Bright Eyes: Everyone all right?
Patch: *Coughs* Yeah, but where did our fish go?
Ace: Oh no, it got away!
Bright Eyes: I guess we'd better try again.
Ace: Hey, I think I got it! Let's see. *Coughs*
All: *Giggles*
Bright Eyes: I wonder who got whom!
Patch: Wow, it's just like "The Wilderness Ponies"!
Ace: All right, let's have lunch!
Bright Eyes: Aww, he's so cute! And...so sad.
Bon Bon: We can't eat him!
Patch: Put him back, Ace.
Bon Bon: We're gonna starve, for sure, and no-one will ever find us for years and years.
Bright Eyes: Anyone have any good ideas?
Bon Bon: I'm...*Sob*...writing my great...*Sob*...farewell, just in case anyone ever finds my diary, which I'm sure no-one ever will. *Sniffs*
Bright Eyes: Bon Bon, don't move! It's a green-winged songbird!
Patch: Wow, so pretty!
Bright Eyes: Let's follow it! At least we can find out where it lives.
Patch: And if there are any more!
Bright Eyes: Oh, look! Babies!
There's a song in the air in the forest,
Birds are singing as they're winging here and there,
Could it be the scenery?
The brilliant forest greenery?
Is that why there's music everywhere?
There's a beautiful sound in the forest,
Birds are tweeting out their greeting loud and strong,
There is nowhere to be found,
Something sweeter than the sound,
Of nature's own sweet song.
Birds feel safe and at home in the forest,
They feel right there 'cause they're right where they belong,
There's no way to recreate,
To replace, or imitate,
Nature's own sweet song!
Nature's own sweet song!
Bright Eyes: No wonder there are so few green-wings left! The Old Woods have almost all been cut down! Well, now we know why. And now we can do something about it!
Bon Bon: But how are you going to do anything if we can't even find a way home. Hey! My diary!
Bright Eyes: We need it!
Bon Bon: No! It's mine! Whoaaaaaaah!
Bright Eyes: Don't you see? The way home is right here - in your diary!
Bon Bon: Huh?
Bright Eyes: You've been writing everything down, right? Every turn, every mistake, right?
Bon Bon: Yeah.
Bright Eyes: So all we have to do is follow your diary backwards and we'll find our way home.
Ace: Bright Eyes is right. Give me that!
Bon Bon: NO! This is still personal and private! Nobody reads it but me.
Patch: OK, then you read it to us. You can be our guide all the way home.
Bon Bon: OK, OK! Oh, all right! "We are going past this little stream for about fifty paces. Then turning left at a big rock."
Bright Eyes: Bye, green-winged songbirds! We'll help you all we can as soon as we get home!

*Applause*
Mayor of Ponyland: Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? My special congratulations to Bright Eyes who never stopped believing that the green-winged songbird could be found. Because of her, and her friends, we now know how to save the green-wings by preserving their home in the Old Woods. Ahem! As Mayor of Ponyland, the Ponyland council and I have voted to make the Old Woods a protected wildlife area, never to be touched again.
*Further applause*
Mayor of Ponyland: Thank you, thank you. Kids, I think a "Pony of the Month" award is in order for each of you.

The Impractical Joker

Dazzle: And that was the latest chart buster from the fabulous Cleveland Bays. And now, for all you little ponies who entered the contest for a date with the Bays' lead singer, Chain Link, tomorrow's the big day! If you're the winner this hunky punk could call you!
Melody: Isn't he gorgeous?
Patch: You really like him, don't you, Melody?
Melody: Like him? I love him! Can you imagine if I actually won the date with him? Ooooooh! Patch, what if he really calls me? What'll I say? What'll I wear?
Patch: Maybe that's him!
Melody: *Screams*
Bon Bon: You won't believe it - the "Cooking With Cupcakes" TV show wants me to send in a video of me baking something! I'm going to be a star!
Patch: Hey, my Dad just got a new video camera. I could do the tape for you.
Bon Bon: Gee, Patch, would you? I'd really appreciate it.
Patch: It's a deal!

Miss Hackney: An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal angles and two sides which are the same length...
Little Ponies: *Cheering*
Miss Hackney: Don't forget term projects are due on Monday. Have a nice weekend!

*Ringing telephone*
Melody: I'll get it! Hello? Hello!
"Chain Link": Chain Link here.
Melody: Er...Mr. Link, is it really you?
"Chain Link": The one and only, dream boat!
Melody: You mean I've won? We're...we're really going on a date?
"Chain Link": You'd better believe it, pound cake!
Melody: *Screams*
"Chain Link": Cool it, cool it. Listen, I hate to .... my fans, but I want our date to be a little private, do you think?
Melody: Private - right! Whatever you want, it doesn't matter!
"Chain Link": Good. Meet me at the top of the clock tower on the high street, 6 o'clock tonight.
Melody: Got it! I'll be there, Mr. Link!
Patch (In Chain Link's voice): And...er, call me Chain, doll-face! Bye-bye!
Patch (In own voice): *Laughs*
Melody: Oh, yes! Yes! *Screams*

Bon Bon: Are you positive I need this hat?
Patch: Sure, it makes you look like a real chef!
Bon Bon: If you say so, Patch. You're the director.
Patch: Ready? Action!
Bon Bon: Er...er....er....today I'm going to m...make a lemon m...meringue pie. Er...start with the cup of flour...oh! I can't see! Where's the bowl! Oh... *Giggles* sorry! N...now add two tablespoons of sugar. Whoops! Oh dear!
Patch: Never mind the milk - do the salt!
Bon Bon: Yeah!
Patch: No, not the salt! More flour!
Bon Bon: More flour...
Patch: Squeeze the lemons - hurry! Come on, Bon Bon! Whisk them! I running out of tape!
Bon Bon: Ow! *Laughs* Sorry about the mess. The pie's going to taste great!
Patch: Bon Bon, the oven!
Bon Bon: *Coughs* My pie! *Coughs* My pie is ruined!

Melody: Oh no! I'm going to be late! *Pants* Starlight, what are you doing here?
Starlight: I...I was waiting for Chain Link.
Melody: That's impossible! I have the date with Chain Link!
Starlight: So do I.
Melody: But I won the contest.
Starlight: Me too!
Starlight/Melody: Who's that? Sweetheart?!
Sweetheart: But where's Chain Link?
Patch (In Chain Link's Voice): Hi, doll-faces!
Melody: You're Chain Link?
Patch: Got you! I did it! *Laughs* I fooled you! *Laughs*
Melody: This is the worst practical joke you've ever pulled!
Patch: No, it's the best! *Laughs* You should have seen your face running up the stairs - I thought you were going to .................!
Melody: Patch, we're going to bust you!
Patch: Hey, hold it! Lighten up! Can't you guys take a little joke? It was all in fun.

Miss Hackney: Good morning, class. Before we begin with the presentations, let me congratulate you on a most inventive display of term projects. Bright Eyes, do you wish to be first?
Bright Eyes: Yes, Miss Hackney. Thank you. My project is a demonstration of the Vandershier theory of force as it relates to molecules, and I've put together a model and a video to help explain it.
Bright Eyes (On Video): Molecules are held together in a group by forces called Vandershier forces. When two molecules are...
Class: *Giggles*
Bright Eyes (On Video): ...They attract each other...
Bon Bon: Oh no!
Bright Eyes (On Video): ...When they come very close together...
Class: *Giggles*
Bright Eyes (On Video): Molecules vibrate about, in these positions of balance, and when the best...
Class: *Giggles*
Miss Hackney: Bright Eyes, turn off the tape! Bright Eyes, what is the meaning of this?
Bright Eyes: I...I...I don't know. I don't understand what happened. I've been sabotaged!
Patch: *Laughs* Got you!

Starlight: Nothing like ice cream to cheer you up.
Melody: Patch has to be stopped!
Bon Bon: Right, she needs a taste of her own medicine!
Bright Eyes: Hmm...and I think I know just how to give it to her!

Patch: *Whistles*
Bright Eyes: Here she comes!
Patch: *Whistles* Hmm...what do we have here? Very interesting.
All: *Laughs* Got you! Huh?
Patch: Not even close! Did you guys really think I'd fall for that old trick? I'm a pro at this game - nobody can sucker me! Boy, I love a practical joke!
I love playing practical jokes,
Dreaming them up,
Planning them out.
I love seeing innocent folks,
Jump in surprise,
And stammer and shout!
People fall for practical jokes,
Gets them off guard!
Throws them off base!
I love when an elaborate hoax,
Gets them all scared and red in the face!
It gives me such a tickle,
When someone bites a rubber pickle!
And what else can compare,
To sneaking up on someone unaware?
BOO!
I've pulled off some masterful strokes,
And I have lots more I can do!
Clover/Bon Bon: Hey! Who swiped our burgers and cokes?
Patch: If you can't guess,
Here is a clue,
Who the likeliest culprit would be,
That sneaky little,
Sneaky little practical joker - ME!
Hey! A flying saucer! I knew they existed - I've got to find it! Wow!
Martian #1: Hello, Earthling. Afraid do not be.
Martian #2: In peace we come.
Patch: Er...well, welcome to Ponyland! I, er...I've read a lot about martians. You are martians, aren't you?
Martian #1: Martians we, yes. Patch, you?
Patch: How...how...how do you know my name?
Martian #2: Observing you, we have been!
Martian #1: Smartest pony in Ponyland, you are.
Patch: Well, I hate to admit it, but you're right! I am the smartest pony in Ponyland! At least, one of them...
Martian #2: With us you come to our home.
Martian #1: Great need for your brain our planet has.
Martian #2: Our problems your brain solve!
Patch: Gee, you must really be in trouble. I accept - I'll come with you!
Martian #1: Mistaken you are. Not you we need...
Martian #2: ...Just your brain!
Patch: Wait a minute! I'm not that smart! You should see my report card - I'm failing everything! Ask anybody! Whoah!
*Splash*
Patch: Ugh! Yuck!
All: Got you! *Laughs*
Patch: This isn't funny!
Starlight: What's the matter, Patch? Can't you take a joke?
Clover: We knew you'd be expecting us to play a joke on you.
Bright Eyes: And we knew you wouldn't fall for the water gag at the fence. But it threw you off guard, didn't it?
Patch: Well, I've got to admit, it did, but how did you do it?
Starlight: Amazing what you can do with cardboard andChristmas lights, isn't it?
Sweetheart: And we borrowed this from Teddy.
Patch: It sure looked real! Actually, it was a pretty good practical joke - for beginners! Matter of fact, I can think of a few ponies I'd like to play this on. Of course, we'd need to make a few changes - put a fresh coat of paint on it, work out the design a little, give it some kind of...kind of sound, you know? And get a fake laser sword or two, and maybe...

The Great Lemonade Stand Wars

Patch: Starlight, catch!
Bon Bon: Give me back my diary!
Starlight: Melody, heads up!
Bon Bon: If anyone reads one single word, I'll never bake for you again!
Patch: Pass it here, Melody!
Bright Eyes: No, here!
Clover: Me, me! Throw it here!
All: Oh no!
Melody: Clover, look what you did!
Clover: It's not my fault! You didn't throw it straight!
Bon Bon: It wouldn't have happened if you weren't teasing me!
Bright Eyes: *Sighs* Bon Bon's right, we're all to blame.
Sweetheart: Maybe if we use some stick-forever glue, we could put the pieces back together.
Starlight: Oh, I'm afraid it's hopeless, Sweetheart. We're going to have to buy a whole new teaset.

Clover: Hey, over here! Look at this one - it's got little ponies all over it!
Sweetheart: I love it! I love it! Let's get it!
Starlight: I wonder how much it costs?
China Shop Owner: Er...that particular set is 200 jangles.
Clover: Two hundred? Oh no! Got it?
All: *Cheers*
China Shop Owner: Do you wish to buy the teaset?

Bright Eyes: 65, 66, 67. *Sighs* That means we still need 133 jangles to buy the teaset.
Sweetheart: Maybe we could ask our parents for the rest?
Patch: Huh! Not mine! My dad says if I ever break something it's my responsibility to pay for it.
Clover: I know - We could open a lemonade stand!
Bon Bon: Good idea! I could make the lemonade.
Patch: And I could make the stand!
Starlight: Sounds good to me. All in favour of opening a lemonade stand say "I".
All: I!

*Excited chattering voices*
Sweetheart: Here you go! Two extra special lemonades!
Bright Eyes: Two jangles please. Thank you! Next?
Bon Bon: How many?
Customer: Three please.
Ace: Every pony in Ponyland must be there.
Teddy: They're making a fortune!
Lancer: No wonder! Their lemonade's great!
Ace: Big deal! We can make it just as good!
Teddy: Yeah! Why should they make all the money? Let's set up our own lemonade stand!
Lancer: Wait! This isn't right - it was their idea!
Ace: So what? Miss Hackney taught us that if .................. competition, it makes the economy stronger!
Lancer: Maybe, but we want to put them out of business...
Teddy: You know what your problem is, Lancer? You always side with the girls.
Lancer: I do not!
Ace: You do too! It's time to be one of the boys, and to prove it, you should give us the money to start our lemonade stand.
Teddy: Yeah! A big, fancy one! You're rich - you can afford it!
Ace: Come on, don't be a wimp!
Lancer: Hmm... OK, I'll do it.

Ace: That's it! Shut it off!
Lancer: I hope it's right this time.
Ace: Ugh! Needs more sugar!
Teddy: I just put some in.
Ace: Put more in!
Lancer: This is the fourth batch. We must be missing an ingredient!
Ace: Your turn to taste.
Lancer: Well?
Teddy: Isht's sho shweet shmy teesth aresh shtuck togetsher!
Ace: We've got to find out how they make it.
Lancer: Hmm... Bon Bon probably knows...
Teddy: Yeah, but she's not going to tell us!
Ace: Hmm...don't be so sure! They don't call me Prince Charming for nothing.

Bon Bon: Hey! One more jangle for the teaset.
Teddy: That's mine!
Bon Bon: Teddy! You scared me!
Teddy: That's my jangle. You saw me drop it and now you're trying to steal it!
Bon Bon: No, honest, I wouldn't. I didn't know it was yours!
Ace: Er, what's the problem here?
Teddy: Huh! She stole my jangle!
Ace: Teddy, give me the jangle!
Teddy: No!
Ace: Give it to me, or else!
Teddy: OK, OK, here!
Ace: Now, get out of here and leave Bon Bon alone!
Teddy: Don't tell me what to do!
Ace: I said buzz off!
Teddy: Well...OK!
Bon Bon: Gosh, Ace, that was terrific! Thanks.
Ace: Ah, it was nothing. I just didn't like him picking on you like that. Say, you wouldn't like to go out bike-riding with me after school, would you?
Bon Bon: You want to go bike-riding with me?
Ace: Sure, why not?

Ace: Watch this!
Bon Bon: Wow, you're fantastic! *Laughs*

Bon Bon: This is the best time I've ever had.
Ace: I'm glad. By the way, your lemonade's the best I've ever tasted.
Bon Bon: You really mean it?
Ace: The best. I'd, er, love to know how you make it.
Bon Bon: Oh, I'd tell you, but I can't! I've sworn to secrecy!
Ace: Hey, who am I going to tell? Come on, Bon Bon! It's just the two of us here.
Bon Bon: Well... *Whispers*
Ace: That's all?
Bon Bon (Whispering slightly louder): Oh, mint leaves from my mum's garden!
Ace: Of course! Oh...er, I've got to go, Bon Bon! I...forgot I had to be somewhere!
Bon Bon: So long, Ace! Thanks for the ride!

Sweetheart: Oh, how and why could this happen?
Teddy: Lemonade here - two glasses for the price of one! Lemonade!
Bright Eyes: I don't understand. Their lemonade can't be as good as ours.
Bon Bon: *Sobs* Yes, it can. I told Ace how to make it. I even told him about the mint leaves!
All: *Angry raised voices*
Starlight: Why, Bon Bon?
Bon Bon: Well, he took me bike-riding, and I thought he liked me, and he asked me about the lemonade and...Oh, I'm so sorry! *Sobs*
Starlight: Don't cry, Bon Bon. We forgive you.
All: *Sympathetic voices*
Patch: I am going over there!
Starlight: Me too!
Patch: What do you think you're doing, Ace?
Ace: What's it look like? We're selling lemonade!
Starlight: You stole our secret formula!
Teddy: No, we didn't. Bon Bon gave it to us!
Bright Eyes: I am extremely disappointed in all of you - especially you, Lancer!
Lancer: Well...I...I...
Ace: Hey, don't take it personally, Bright Eyes? Business is business!
Bright Eyes: Oh, it's business all right! Monkey business! You took something that belongs to us!
Teddy: Yeah, right! You're customers! *Laughs*
Patch: You can't scare us away, Ace.
Bright Eyes: That's right. We're not moving.
Ace: Well, neither are we?
Starlight: Fine. This means war!
Boys: If you think that you can beat us, think again!
If you think you can defeat us, think again!
Just when you think you've got us licked,
You'll find out that you've been tricked,
If rosy futures you're predicting, think again!
Girls: If you think that you can match us, think again!
Though you'll try you'll never catch us! Think again!
Just when you're sure you're out in front,
We'll pull off some clever stunt,
Best of luck, happy hunting, Think again!
Boys: Why not just admit,
You have no chance of winning?
Girls: We're not scared a bit,
We've had the edge from the beginning!
Boys: Think you'll win because you're leading?
Think again!
Girls: Think that we'll wind up conceding?
Think again!
Boys: If you take a backwards glance,
You'll see you don't stand a chance!
Girls: Look out now 'cause we're ascending!
Think again!
Boys: Think again!
Girls: Think again!
Boys: Think again!
All: Think again!

Bright Eyes: 170, 171, 172... *Sighs* That means we still need 28 more jangles to buy the teaset!
Clover: We only needed 24 yesterday!
Starlight: Who is it?
Lancer: It's Lancer!
Starlight: Let him in.
Lancer: I...I came to apologise for what happened. I left Ace and Teddy.
Patch: You quit?
Lancer: Mm-hmm. What they did just wasn't fair!
Bright Eyes: Well, I'm glad you finally realised that. Want to be on our side?
Lancer: Sure! I even brought something that might help.
Bright Eyes: It's a recipe for iced tea.
Lancer: Not just any iced tea! Our cook at the house makes it - you won't believe how good it tastes!
Bon Bon: Let's find out!

Teddy: I told you Lancer always sides with the girls!
Ace: It looks like he picked the right side this time. Come on! What's going on here?
Starlight: The lemonade war is over, Ace. We're in the iced tea business!
Lancer: Try some!
Teddy: Hey, this is really good!
Ace: Who cares? He's still a traitor.
Bright Eyes: We do! We just earned enough jangles to buy our teaset!
Sweetheart: Now we can have a for-real tea party again! Let's go, everybody!
Teddy: Hey, Lancer! Can I have some more iced tea?
Lancer: Sure!
Ace: Forget it!
Teddy: What's the matter with you? It's good!
Ace: Let's get out of here! We can't give up, Teddy!
Teddy: Give up? It's over - we lost!
Ace: And it's your fault!
Teddy: My fault? You made them mad by taking advantage of Bon Bon!
Ace: I only did that because you "could make good lemonade"!
Teddy: I never said I could!
Ace: It was your idea to open the stand!
Teddy: Was not! It was yours!

[Lancer]

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!

Starlight: Ready? And, left! Right! Up! Down!
Sweetheart: They really, truly are a dream team, Starlight!
Starlight: Yeah, but now comes the hard part, Sweetheart. Get ready for the carousel - on the count of three! 1, 2, 3 - DIVE! Perfect! Lancer, bring on the music!
Lancer: You've got it!
Teddy: *Laughs* Looks more like a flat tyre than a carousel!
Sweetheart: Teddy!
Starlight: Not you again?
Teddy: *Laughs* I brought you a present this time!
All: *Screams*
Patch: Just relax! It's only rubber - I have one like this at home!
Melody: OK, let's get him!
All: Yeah, let's get him! Great idea! Come on! Up we go! Out the water! Get him! Get him! Ouch!
Teddy: *Laughs* Nice move, Dream Team! What do you call that one? *Laughs*
Lancer: Well, I call this one "Squirt Teddy with the hose"!
Teddy: Whooooooooaaaaaah! Oof!
Sweetheart: Teddy, Teddy! You all right?
Teddy: Yeah! Ugh! I hope you all lose tomorrow!
Sweetheart: Teddy! Teddy, wait!

Clover: I'll be glad when tomorrow's over, so we can eat real food again.
Sweetheart: I'll be glad when tomorrow's over so we can have my birthday party!
Lancer: Oh, my parents called last night from Shetland Springs, and they said we could use the ballroom, so I'm having it decorated in the morning.
Patch: Everybody coming, Sweetheart?
Sweetheart: Every-single-body!
Starlight: Even Teddy?
Sweetheart: Well, yeah...it wouldn't be fair to leave him out...
Starlight: But Teddy always spoils everything!
Melody: Hey, we can't worry about Teddy now. We've got to worry about tomorrow's competition! I, for one, want to win!
All: *Chorus of agreement*

Crowd: *Cheers*
Swimming Contest Judge: And the scores for the Sunnyside Team are, '9.3', '9.5', and '9.6'!
Bright Eyes: *Sighs* It's a 9.4 - 6 average!
Clover: How can we possibly win?
Starlight: Because we're better, that's why!
Melody: Starlight's right - we didn't train this hard to lose! Let's get it on!
Swimming Competition Judge: The next and final team in the Second Annual Paradise Lake Synchronised Swimming Competition call themselves the Dream Team! Let's hear it for them!
Crowd: *Cheers*
Starlight: Hit it, Lancer!
Sweetheart: Go, Dream Team!
Bon Bon: They look great!
Starlight: So far, but here comes the carousel...
Melody: Where's Clover?
Starlight: Clover's missing!
Sweetheart: Something's very, very wrong!
Clover: Help! Help! Heeeeeeeelllp!
Starlight: Clover, what happened?
Clover: I...I...I saw a giant sea monster!
Crowd: *Screams*
Teddy: Hi, everybody! *Laughs*
All: Teddy!
Teddy: Pretty funny, huh? *Laughs*
Swimming Competition Judge: Attention please! For failing to finish their routine, the Dream Team is disqualified.
Teddy: Uh-oh...
Starlight: Get him!
Teddy: Whooooooaaaaaah!

Starlight: All those weeks of hard work, and for what? Nothing!
Patch: If it wasn't for Teddy, we could have won, I know it.
Bright Eyes: I even got a B in my last test, because we've trained so long!
Bon Bon: And I've been eating cookies instead of chocolate chips!
Clover: At least we have Sweetheart's party tonight to make us feel better.
Melody: Yeah, well I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if Teddy's going, I'm not!
All: No, she shouldn't have invited him! That's right! I'm not going! No, me neither! Of course not! Not with him!
Sweetheart: But, I already invited him.
Patch: Then un-invite him!
Sweetheart: *Gulp*

Sweetheart: All Teddy wants is to be liked - to be part of things! He isn't really mean. He just does mean things for attention!
Patch: Did you tell him not to come to the party?
Sweetheart: Well, no, not exactly...
Bright Eyes: He made us lose.
Sweetheart: I know, but I really want him to come.
Starlight: Sweetheart, it's Teddy or us. You have to choose.
Clover: Right. Him or us!
All: HIM OR US?!?!
Sweetheart: Well, if I have to make the choice...then...then nobody's coming! The party's off! *Sobs*
Melody: Hey, what about my new hair-do?

Lancer: You sure you want to do this?
Sweetheart: *Sobs* No, but I have to. I'm not going to choose between my friends!
Lancer: I just wish there was something I could do... Ahhh...

Lancer: Come aboard, Teddy!
Teddy: Aye-aye, Captain! Wow! I've always wanted to go sailing on a boat.
Lancer: Well, it's not mine. It's my father's - but he named it after me! Come on - I'll show you around! I invited some friends of yours too.
Teddy: What? You...you tricked me!
Girls: Teddy?
Starlight: Lancer! You didn't tell us Teddy was coming!
Patch: We're leaving!
Lancer: I don't think so.

Lancer: I prepared a peace treaty. It's for all of you to sign.
Teddy: I'm not signing anything!
Starlight: Well, neither are we!
Lancer: OK. Enjoy the ride then, because we're not going home until everyone makes up!
Bon Bon: You know something? I don't feel so good...
Bright Eyes: Teddy? You're nothing but an obnoxious ravel-rouser!
Teddy: Me? I am not! Er...what's a ravel-rouser?
Bright Eyes: It's a little pony who likes to cause trouble.
Teddy: Well, you're just a little pony who thinks she knows everything!
Clover: That's not true! Bright Eyes doesn't know everything!
Bright Eyes: I do too!
Teddy: And all Melody cares about is what she looks like, and having a good time.
Melody: Huh! Well, at least I care about something!. You're too selfish to care about anything except yourself!
Lancer: Hold on! You know what the problem is? You're all selfish. Here you are arguing about who did what to who.
Bright Eyes: I believe it's "whom"!
Lancer: Whatever! And the one who's really getting hurt is Sweetheart. I thought she was your friend. I thought you liked her.
Teddy: I...I like her.
Starlight: We...all like her...
Lancer: Then stop acting like babies, and sign the treaty before it's no longer her birthday!
Bon Bon: I...I think I'm going to be...sick...

Lancer: Don't be so sad, Sweetheart. I know you're upset, but I think the present I got you will cheer you up.
Sweetheart: It's in here?
Lancer: Close your eyes! OK, open up!
All: SURPRISE, SURPRISE!
Sweetheart: This is absolutely unbelievable!
Melody: Let's party!
Lancer: Coloured streamers, party favours,
Ice cream in assorted flavours!
All of the ingredients are here...
All: ...For an unforgettable party,
To usher in your tenth year!
Bon Bon: All your friends have been invited,
Everyone is so excited,
Thinking of the games that we will play...
All: ...At this unforgettable party,
To celebrate your big day!
Melody: Pass the lemon!
Bon Bon: Charades and statues!
Clover: Tag! And musical chairs!
Bon Bon: That's what makes a memorable party -
All: Fun and games that everyone shares!
Lancer: Read the cards with heartfelt wishes,
Taste the chocolate - it's delicious!
See the gifts in every shape and size!
All: It's an unforgettable party,
A happy birthday surprise!
It's an unforgettable party,
A happy birthday surprise!
Bon Bon: Happy birthday, Sweetheart!
All: Happy birthday!
Sweetheart: I really, truly don't know what to say except that...that this is the nicest, happiest day of my life. Thank you!
Starlight: Make a wish and blow out the candles!
Sweetheart: My wish already came true - all my friends are here!

Gribbet

Patch: There, great! Hey, where's Clover?
Clover: Er...hey! Here, wait a second!
All: *Giggles*
Bon Bon: OK, let's eat!
Sweetheart: We've got extra thick sandwiches, celery sticks, munchy crunchy crisps, Bon Bon's super rich carrot cake and...rain!
All: Oh no! Where did that come from? Oh dear!
Clover: Why does it always rain when we have a picnic?
Bon Bon: I knew we should have eaten before the picnic. *Munch*
Starlight: Back to the tea house, everybody!
Sweetheart: Hey, wait, oh, wait for me!
Spot: Ribbet, ribbet!
Sweetheart: What was that?
Spot: Ribbet!
Sweetheart: Something wrong?
Spot: Ribbet!
Sweetheart: Oh, my gosh! Your leg is hurt!
Spot: Ribbet!
Sweetheart: Ahh, looks like a Little Pony has to help a little frog!

Starlight: Hey, where's Sweetheart? I thought she was right behind us.
Sweetheart: I'm...I'm soaked!
Patch: What took you so long?
Sweetheart: I'll show you.
Spot: Ribbet!
Clover: Yikes! Yuck!
Sweetheart: He's hurt. See? He can't jump.
Bright Eyes: I've been reading about frogs in my biology book. Maybe I could operate.
Bon Bon: My Mum's got a great recipe for frog's legs...
Patch: Bon Bon!
Bon Bon: Just kidding!
Starlight: Well, I think the best thing to do is take him to a real doctor.

Starlight: Relax, Sweetheart. He'll be OK.
Sweetheart: Oh, I really, truly hope so! He's so cute!
Clover: Sit down! You're making me nervous!
Bright Eyes: I just thought of something - the frog needs a name!
Sweetheart: Gee, I...I hadn't thought about that. Wait, I know! Let's call him Spot!
Starlight/Bright Eyes/Clover: SPOT?!
Sweetheart: Why not? He's full of them!
Vet: Well, good news! Your frog's fine.
Sweetheart: Hi, Spot!
Spot: Ribbet!
Vet: He had a stressed fracture to his tibia fibula. But he should be hopping around like new in a few days.
Bright Eyes: Thank you very much, doctor. Was there any damage to the metacarpal or the phalanx?
Vet: Why, no. How did you...
Bright Eyes: I'm going to be a doctor!
Vet: Well, that's wonderful! Then you understand about the responsibility of taking care of the patient, don't you?
Bright Eyes: Of course!
Starlight: We all do. We want to nurse him back to health.
Vet: You can remove the splint in three days. And be sure he gets an ample supply of worms and insects to eat! Any problems, you call me, OK?
Spot: *Ribbet*

Starlight: *Sighs* It's been five days, and he still can't jump.
Sweetheart: Oh my gosh! We forgot to take off the splint!
Patch: No wonder he's not jumping!
Bright Eyes: Here, I'll remove the splint.
Sweetheart: Be extra special careful, Bright Eyes.
Bright Eyes: Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. There we go! Now watch him jump!
Sweetheart: He's still not jumping. Maybe he forgot how!
Patch: Let's teach him. Hey, Spot! Watch!
All: *Laughs*
Melody: Hold on, Patch! You've got to get more lift - like this!
All: *Laughs*
Bon Bon: Wait, it goes like this!
All: *Laughs*
Bright Eyes: I don't think this is working...
Spot: Ribbet, ribbet, ribbet!
All: *Cheers*
Patch: Now that Spot can jump, we can't leave him alone any more.
Sweetheart: I'd for sure take him home, but I have to babysit tonight.
Starlight: I work at Ice Cream Parlour.
Melody: Sorry, band practise tonight.
Bright Eyes: And I have to go to the library!
Clover: My mother hates frogs!
Patch: I've got soccer practise.
Bon Bon: I...um...Oh, I'll take him!

Mrs. Bon Bon: What are you baking, Bon Bon?
Bon Bon: Sugar sprinkle cookies, Mum.
Amber: Me love sprinkles.
Bon Bon: Would you get them for me, Amber? I left them in the pantry.
Amber: OK. Hmm...why this here?
Spot: Ribbet! Ribbet!
Bon Bon: Spot!
Spot: Ribbet!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Agh! What's that?
Bon Bon: Don't be scared, Mum. It's just Spot.
Spot: Ribbet! Ribbet! Ribbet!
Bon Bon: Spot, get off of there!
Amber: Me love frog!
Spot: Ribbet!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Amber, don't touch it! Help! Help!
Bon Bon: It's OK, Mum - he won't hurt you!
Amber: Oooh, fun!
Bon Bon: Got you!
Spot: Ribbet!
Mrs. Bon Bon: Bon Bon, get that frog out of here!

Bon Bon: Starlight!
Starlight: Hi, Bon Bon, what's up?
Bon Bon: Spot's feeling much better.
Starlight: Hmm...that's good.
Bon Bon: But...my Mum won't let me keep him!
Starlight: Hmm...that's bad!
Bon Bon: Sorry, Starlight, I don't have any choice. I've got to get home. See you!
Starlight: *Sighs* What can I do?
Spot: Ribbet! Ribbet! Ribbet, ribbet! *Slurps* Ribbet!
Starlight: OK, one double chocolate cone, one strawberry soda, one banana split, and one hot fudge sundae!
Customers: Hmm! Yum! They look delicious! Hmmm..*Screams*
Spot: Ribbet! Ribbet!
Customers: *Screams*
Starlight: Spot!
Customers: *Screams*
Spot: *Slurps* Ribbet!
Sweetheart: Spot, look at you! What are you doing?
Spot: *Slurps* Ribbet! *Burp*
Starlight: Sweetheart, you've got to take him. He's going to put us out of business!

Sweetheart: It's a really good thing my babysitting job was cancelled. Now I can take care of you myself.
Spot: *Lick*
Sweetheart: Aww, I love you too, Spot.
Spot: Ribbet! *Yawn*
Sweetheart: Aww, you must be exhausted. Good night.
Spot: Ribbet!
Sweetheart: Sweet dreams!

Miss Hackney: *Coughs* I...I apologise if my throat is a little scratchy this morning, but I'm just getting over a slight cold. *Coughs* Excuse me. Now then, we were discussing the proper use of punctuation. The question mark is used after a question. It's also called the interrogation mark or point.
Class: *Giggles*
Sweetheart: *Gasp* Spot!
Miss Hackney: I don't see what's so funny. *Coughs*
Spot: Ribbet!
Miss Hackney: *Screams*
Class: Spot! Come here! Come on, Spot! Good boy! Come here, Spot!
Sweetheart: Spot, over here!
Miss Hackney: Back to your seats, everyone, now! Sweetheart, would you like to explain the meaning of all this?
Sweetheart: Well, we found the frog, and he was really, truly hurt, and...and we nursed him back to health and...
Miss Hackney: I see. Well, I commend you for your good deed, but removing creatures from their natural habitat is not a very good idea...
Sweetheart: But...
Miss Hackney: No buts, Sweetheart. I suggest you return the frog to where you found it and set him free.
Sweetheart: *Sighs* I guess you're right, Miss Hackney. We'll do it.

Sweetheart: Off you go,
Into the great unknown,
It's time you were on your own!
Make the break,
But quickly,
For heaven's sake.
Despite how my heart might ache.
Much as I'd love,
To have you stay.
Believe me when I say,
It's better off this way.
Bye, Spot! Take care of yourself.
Bon Bon: We love you, little guy.
Clover: Yeah! It's been fun knowing you.
Sweetheart: Stay well, Spot.
Off you go!
Bon Bon: Life is awaiting you.
Clover: You're fit and as good as new!
All: So off with you,
Off with you,
Off you go!
Off you go!
Off you go-oo-oo!
Sweetheart: *Sighs* I'm really, truly going to miss him.
Bright Eyes: We'll come back and see him, OK?
Sweetheart: Okey-dokey.
Melody: Hey, let's have a picnic!
*Thunder*
Clover: See? I told you it always rains!
Starlight: Back to the teahouse, everybody!
Spot: Ribbet! Ribbet! Ribbet!
