Magical Mystery Cure


 * [splash]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash, that's not funny!
 * Rarity: Terribly sorry, darling. I'm afraid I'm... I'm not good with the thundery ones.
 * Twilight Sparkle: [gasp] Something tells me everything is not going to be fine.




 * Twilight Sparkle: What are you doing? What happened to your cutie mark?
 * Rarity: Whatever do you mean, Twilight? I'm simply doing what I've done since the day it first appeared. Does my sky look fabulous or what?
 * Ponies: [complaining]
 * Rarity: Too last season?
 * Twilight Sparkle: Where is Rainbow Dash? Why isn't she handling this?


 * Spike: [yawns] I still don't know what you had to wake me up for. I love sleeping in the rain.
 * Twilight Sparkle: It's not about the weather, Spike. Rarity had Rainbow Dash's cutie mark and said this was Rainbow Dash's cottage. Something strange is going on... [knocks]
 * [animal noises]
 * Rainbow Dash: Hey, guys.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash! Why is Rarity doing your job?
 * [crash]
 * Twilight Sparkle: And what in Equestria is going on in... here?




 * Twilight Sparkle: This is bad. This is very, very bad.
 * Spike: What's going on? Why is this happening?!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Last night when you were taking one of your seven-hour bubble baths, I got a special delivery from the princess.


 * Twilight Sparkle: Dear Twilight Sparkle,
 * The spell contained on the last page of this book is Star Swirl the Bearded's secret unfinished masterpiece. [gasps] Ooh! He was never able to get it right, and thus abandoned it. I believe you are the only pony who can understand and rewrite it. Princess Celestia
 * From one to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, fulfilled. That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't even rhyme!


 * Twilight Sparkle: I cast the spell so I could find out what it was, but nothing seemed to happen. But now I know something did happen. The spell has changed the Elements of Harmony! That must be why their cutie marks are all wrong!
 * Spike: So just cast a counter-spell to switch them back.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Oh. There is no counter-spell!
 * Spike: Why don't you just use that memory spell you used to fix everypony when Discord was here?
 * Twilight Sparkle: It's not their memories, Spike. It's their true selves that have been altered!
 * Spike: Zecora's cure for the cutie pox?
 * Twilight Sparkle: That won't work either...
 * Spike: Well [sighs], maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe our friends will grow to like their new lives.
 * Twilight Sparkle: No, Spike. They're not who they are meant to be anymore. Their destinies are now changed, and it's all my fault.




 * Twilight Sparkle: Oh, Spike, what have I done?


 * Spike: Aw, come on, Twilight, you'll figure out a way to fix this. These are your friends.
 * Twilight Sparkle: You're right, Spike. And they mean more to me than anything. My friends...
 * Spike: Twilight? Are you alright?
 * Twilight Sparkle: I've got it! I know what to do!
 * Spike: You do?
 * Twilight Sparkle: I may not be able to remind them of who they are, but I can show them what they mean to each other. They'll find the part of themselves that's been lost so they can help the friend they care about so much! Come on, Spike!


 * [bits clinking]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy, wait!
 * Fluttershy: Oh... Hey, Twilight...
 * Twilight Sparkle: Where are you going?
 * Fluttershy: I'm moving back to Cloudsdale. I don't know what's wrong, but I can't seem to make anypony laugh.
 * [whoopee cushion deflating]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Before you go, I was wondering if you might be willing to help Rainbow Dash. She's really struggling with her animals.
 * Fluttershy: But... I don't really know anything about animals...
 * Twilight Sparkle: But you do know something about Rainbow Dash.
 * Fluttershy: I... know that she's a true friend, and I'll do anything I can to help her.


 * [thunk]
 * Rainbow Dash: [muffled] Whoa!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash!
 * Rainbow Dash: I'm in here! Help! I'm trapped!
 * Fluttershy: Hurry, Twilight! Can't you do some sort of spell to get her out?
 * Twilight Sparkle: No. Fluttershy, you're the only one who can help! Rainbow Dash needs you!
 * Fluttershy: Um... Hello? Little... woodland creatures? I know that you're all very upset and feel like giving Rainbow Dash a hard time, but we'd all really appreciate it if you'd calm down and, um, maybe... rest for a bit? Oh! Uh... look! Here's some nice, juicy leaves for you to munch on. And some crunchy, munchy acorns too. Uh, wouldn't you like to take a break and have a little snack?
 * [cutlery clinking]
 * [animals eating]
 * Fluttershy: Aww, look at that. I guess you were all just cranky because you were hungry. Oh, you are very welcome, little friends.
 * Bear: [kisses]
 * Fluttershy: Goodness, it's like I can understand them! I... I feel strange, like... like this is what I'm meant to do, like this is who I am! My destiny! Wha... what happened?
 * Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy, look! Your cutie mark! It worked! It worked! Oh, I'm so happy you're back to normal! Now we need your help!




 * Twilight Sparkle: [echoing] A mark of one's destiny, singled out alone, fulfilled. [normal] [gasps] Wait a second, that's it! I understand now! I know how to fix the spell!
 * From all of us together, together we're friends. With the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end!
 * Rest of main cast: [cries of shock]
 * Fluttershy: [gasps] What happened?
 * Rest of main cast: [exclamations of shock]


 * Twilight Sparkle: [echoing] Hello? Where am I? What is this place?
 * Princess Celestia: [echoing] Congratulations, Twilight. I knew you could do it.
 * Twilight Sparkle: [echoing] Princess... I don't understand. What did I do?
 * Princess Celestia: You did something today that's never been done before. Something even a great unicorn like Star Swirl the Bearded was not able to do, because he did not understand friendship like you do. The lessons you've learned here in Ponyville have taught you well. You have proven that you're ready, Twilight.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Ready? Ready for what?




 * Applejack: Twilight? Is that you?
 * Rest of main cast: [gasps]
 * Applejack: Wha... I-I've never seen anything like it!
 * Rainbow Dash: Ha! Twilight's got wings! Awesome! A new flying buddy! [laughs]
 * Rarity: Why, you've become an Alicorn. I didn't even know that was possible.
 * Pinkie Pie: [screaming] Alicorn party! [blows party kazoo]
 * [crowd cheering]
 * Fluttershy: Wow... You look just like a princess!
 * Princess Celestia: That's because she is a princess.
 * Main cast: Huh?
 * Pinkie Pie: Hold on a second! [drinks] [spits]
 * Twilight Sparkle: A... A princess?
 * Princess Celestia: Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, and of course, the leadership of a true princess.
 * Twilight Sparkle: But... does this mean I won't be your student anymore?
 * Princess Celestia: Not in the same way as before. I'll still be here to help and guide you, but we're all your students now, too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight.
 * Twilight Sparkle: But... what do I do now? Is there a book about being a princess I should read?
 * Princess Celestia: [giggles] There will be time for all of that later.


 * Princess Celestia: We are gathered here today in celebration of a momentous occasion. My most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, has done many extraordinary things since she's lived in Ponyville. She even helped reunite me with my sister, Princess Luna. But today, Twilight Sparkle did something extraordinary. She created new magic, proving without a doubt that she is ready to be crowned Equestria's newest princess. Fillies and gentlecolts, may I present for the very first time, Princess Twilight Sparkle!




 * [crowd cheering]
 * Princess Celestia: Say something, Princess.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Oh. Um... [clears throat] A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't really care much about. But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful. Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony!
 * [crowd cheering]
 * Shining Armor: Twilight! I'm so proud of you!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Are you crying?
 * Shining Armor: Of course not. It's... it's liquid pride. Totally different thing.
 * Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle: [laughing]
 * Applejack: Way to go, Princess!
 * Pinkie Pie: Best coronation day ever!
 * Fluttershy: We love you, Twilight.
 * Twilight Sparkle: I love you too, girls!
