Oh my glitter! This is going to be the best surprise ever!
[whispers] Here she comes. Thunder, light 'em up!
[all] Three, two, one. Happy Mare's Day!
Oh! Look! You're missing the fireworks!
Ugh, we thought you were the Queen!
Ha-ha! Imagine that! Me? The Queen?
Well, hello, Your Majesty!
[both laugh]
And now we've completely wasted the fireworks!
Ugh, I knew this would happen!
Zipp! You don't need fireworks to show the Queen
how much you care about her.
Which is great, 'cause now you don't have any!
[in awkward tone] Yay!
Maybe she's just running late?
No. I know exactly where she is.
What's next on The Royal To-do List, Zoom?
Well, we are running a bit late, Your Majesty,
but for item 81, you were supposed to--
[gasps] Meet my daughters in the Royal Square!
Oh dear.
Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise! [laughs awkwardly]
You were supposed to meet us in the Square!
I even made an appointment with Zoom this time!
Being a no-show is, like, totally harsh mother!
[Pipp] And on Mare's Day? Rude!
I know. I'm so sorry I've let you down!
And on this special day… [sighs]
Believe me, there's nothing I'd like more than to take a break from being Queen.
But there's just too much to do!
Then why don't we give you a break?
[Zipp] We'll do all your Queenly duties for the rest of the day!
Really? You want to be Queen?
C'mon, mom, how hard can it be?
Okay then, Zoom will make sure you have everything you need.
[in sing-song voice] Good luck!
Of course, Your Majesty. Forwarding the Royal To-do List now.
[beeping]
That's not, ahem, so bad.
[fast beeping]
Oof.
Would you look at that? It just keeps going and going and going
and going and going and going…
This'll be… fun. Right?
Item 82, the Newborn Foals Portrait…
[all] Aww…
[foals gasp, laugh]
[all gasp]
-[laughs] -Hey, hey, hey, come back here.
-[laughs] -[grunts]
-[foals laughing] -[ponies grunting]
[in breathless voice] I'll be. Right. Behind. You.
[upbeat music]
Item 97, the Grand Opening of the Royal Playground.
A-ha, this'll be easy!
[grunts] Huh?
Uh, this is hard to watch.
[grunts]
[in breathless voice] Must. Cut. Ribbon!
Just go on without us!
[yelps]
[Pipp clears throat]
-Woah, look! -Look out!
Yikes!
[groans in frustration]
Hmm. I do hope everything's okay.
[door opens]
We did it! We're late for dinner but, we made it!
And how did it go?
-A newborn foal gave me a shiner! -Being Queen is much harder than it looks!
-Look at all this dirt in my mane! -I'll never use scissors again!
The truth is, there were five of us, we didn't even come close
to finishing the Royal To-Do list! I can't believe you do that everyday!
Yeah, I think we were the ones being harsh earlier.
You are super amazing.
That means a lot, Pipp. Thank you.
[upbeat music]
[all gasp]
Woah. You think of everything!
Now, everypony, dig in!
[chatter]
[Sunny] Clear for landing, Team Pegasi!
It's just a little sports day, ponies. No need to show off!
All of Equestria's a stage, Sunny! Hitch, light the lanterns!
Lanterns? No, Hitc--
Roger that! Lanterns lit.
[Sunny] Wait, Hitch.
-Oh, oh no. -[Izzy] Did you say, "Oh go"?
-Izzy? No! -Go?
-No! -You heard her, Team Unicorn. Go, go, go!
Bogey at 3 o'clock!
Gross. Ah!
[yelps]
Everypony take cover!
-[playful music] -[ponies yelling]
-Are we ready to begin-- Ah! -Look out!
[both gasp]
I'm so sorry! This was supposed to be the best day ever and I--
-It's okay, Sunny. No harm done. -[Thunder yelling]
Maybe a little harm done.
With all of Equestria competing for the first time, this is a big job.
-How you doing? -I'm okay!
Not you, Thunder!
Even for a Queen, it would be a lot to handle alone.
[in awkward tone] I'm the Alicorn. I've totally got this!
Let the Equestria games begin!
[all cheering]
[both grunt]
-[grunts, chuckles] -[both yelp]
[chuckles]
Oh.
Huh? [blows whistle]
[gasps]
[all three scream]
My hoofiecure!
[in breathless voice] Stop! Flying. Against. Rules.
[blows whistle, yelps]
-[Hitch laughs] -[Sunny yelps]
[grunts]
[playful music]
-On your marks, get set-- -[all] Go!
[yelps]
[all three grunt]
[blows whistle]
[yelps]
[groans]
[all scream]
[loud thud]
The rules never said our boat had to be in the water.
I should know, I read them 17 times!
Maybe if the Unicorns controlled their oars better…
We controlled them fine, actually. Until we didn't.
I need an emergency restyling! [screams]
[group arguing]
[melancholy music]
Uh-oh. Our magic!
This was supposed to unite us.
The Pippsqueaks can't see me like this!
Don't worry, everypony. Sunny always has a plan. Right, Sunny?
Uh?
Being a leader's tough, isn't it? Everypony thinks we have all the answers.
All these different ponies together,
it's easy to get under each other's hooves.
You and your friends must be the same?
Sometimes, I guess. We're all so different.
[Sunny] It can be hard.
But, when we work together and listen to each other,
all our differences become strengths!
-[upbeat music] -[all laugh]
Kind of like a team?
Ponies, ponies! The games aren't about winning.
They're about celebrating our differences and working together!
-What happened? -Are the games over?
I don't get it.
From now on, each team will be a mix of all ponykind.
A representation of the unity that makes Equestria so great!
[all gasp]
Let the games, uh, re-begin!
-[all cheering] -[upbeat music]
[all three] Ha!
[blows whistle]
And the winner of the first All-Equestria games is…
Nopony.
Every team won one contest, so it's a tie!
[confused chatter]
[crowd] Oh yeah! Woo!
[happy chatter]
I suppose it makes sense. The first Equestria games…
And all of Equestria has won. Together. Well done, Sunny.
Hey! Can we go play now?
[suspenseful music]
According to the map,
the shmoogleberry bush should be right… here.
Huh? How'd you get here so fast?
-Um, we're in our garden, Hitch. -Huh.
Then I definitely overpacked.
Well, let's get picking!
That shmoogleberry pie isn't gonna shmooglebake itself!
[laughs]
-[gasps] -Watch out, Sunny.
This bush could be dangerous.
Never trust anything that starts with shmoogle.
[suspenseful music]
[both grunting]
Huh. Not what I expected.
Sunny, you're about to see a masterclass in, um, critter-talk-ery.
Guys, what seems to be the problem here?
Ahem. Well, ya see, us racoonicorns have been nibblin'
on these here branches for generations.
Illegally I might add!
We Pegasnails have rights to all fruit-bearing plants in the garden.
It says so here in the Great Snail Scrolls!
That's just a rolled-up leaf!
You're just a rolled-up leaf!
[fighting, arguing]
Anything I can do?
Nope! All under control, Sunny. I got this.
All right, well. I'm gonna go find some apples for the pie.
[both yelling]
Look, there's gotta be a simple way to resolve this.
You're right.
Racoonicorns, assemble!
Pegasnails, also assemble!
We're going to need a minute.
[action music]
Okay, this isn't what I had in mind. No fighting, no swords,
and no unbelievably adorable catapults.
All we need is a schedule.
[Hitch] The racoonicorns can pick from the bush one day,
and then the Pegasnails on the other.
You'll take it in turns, I'll be watching to make sure you all stick to it!
[Pegasnail yelps]
Trust me, this is foolproof. Rules and regulations fix everything!

Um, how's it going, Hitch?
It's, um, going pretty well. [tears up]
[sobs]
-Ha, take that! -Dandelion incoming!
Eat this!
Ugh! What did I do wrong?
I thought I could use my new critter communication skills
to really make a difference, but I just made things worse!
It's okay, Hitch! You've just gotta try a different approach.
Like a weekly roster instead of a daily one?
No. Why don't you try seeing what they have in common?
Remember, there's magic in unity!
See what they have in common.
[Racoonicorn] Oh! Ow! Ow! Watch the hair!
-Hmm. -[Racoonicorn] Watch the fur!
-En masse! Pegasnails, attack! -Racoonicorns, attack!
Hey, I'm battlin' here! What is this?
This is the talking table!
We're gonna sit around it, and we're gonna talk this thing out! Now!
[grunts]
[both argue]
I hear you, but we all have to work together if we want--
-Work together? Huh, impossible! -Hey!
[continue arguing]
Oh, come on now, there's gotta be something you both--
Unless it's gotta do with baking, I don't wanna hear about it!
[gasps] Baking? I also love to bake!
[triumphant music]
-Hey, bring it in 'ere. -[Pegasnail chuckles]
You were totally right, Sunny!
Turns out they both love making berry-based treats,
and now they're best friends!
I'm proud of you, Hitch!
Hey, so, um… [chuckles awkwardly]
Now, can we pick some of those berries for our pie?
-[eerie tune] -[both scream]
Behold! The awesome power of the great… Hoofdini!
Oh hey, Rufus!
Marvel as he floats in the air! Gasp as he levitates objects!
How does he do it? It's mare-aculous!
-Aw! -He clearly uses wires.
Ponies have, like, real magic now?
Aw, who am I kidding?
Since real magic came back to Equestria, nopony is interested in my tricks.
What? That can't be true, Ru-- I mean Hoofdini.
[epic music]
[transitions to melancholy music]
Oh, just helping them move house. [chuckles]
So, where d'ya want it?
See? All washed up.
You're an Earth pony! Why don't you just use your growy-growy planty magic?
It is so cool! Whenever I try and grow plants, it takes forever,
and I forget to water them, and then they all die.
I don't have any magic. All I got is my tricks.
And now, they belong on the garbage dump.
Lucky for you, my specialty is giving all kinda things a second chance.
See. Garbage…
Into a fabulous, uh, bow tie!
-Ta-da! -[Rufus] Oof!
Little heavy?
Come on! We're gonna turn you into something new and awesome too!
So! A wannabe sheriff, eh?
Well, it's an amazing job, but very demanding.
You have to be hyper-aware of your surroundings.
Was that, did you just swallow the key? Why would you do that?
Sorry! I'm an escape artiste! Swallowing keys is what we do!
Cards, anyone? [chuckles awkwardly]
And Hoofdini will do the best job ever of guarding the crown jewels!
Ahem, what crown jewels?
-[yelps] -Where did they go? How did he do it?
Thief! Guards!
Uh, okay, gotta go!
Gimmie a tea, Alpha-B. Pepperminty, pretty P!
Coming up! Ta-da!
[gasps]
-[suspenseful music] -[chuckles awkwardly]
I ain't payin' for all these teas, if you please.
Aw, this is hopeless. My tricks will never fit in anywhere.
I might as well forget Hoofdini and just be playing old Rufus.
Nah, we just haven't found the right thing to unicycle you into yet!
Ugh! Buffering! We're missing Pipp's new livestream!
You gotta hold your phone way higher than that!
[sighs]
No wonder my magic don't impress anypony.
Everypony can do it!
Yes! Full bars! Not gonna miss a whinny of Pipp's new live stream!
Hey, Pippsqueaks!
Still haven't figured out my amazing show-stopping entrance!
Sad face! Hit me up with your suggestions in the comments!
Ooh! I've got an idea!
-Hey, watch it! -[gasps]
[yelps]
Whoa! That Pony, she's falling!
Somepony, do something!
[screams]
Look out!
-[continues screaming] -[suspenseful music]
[grunts] No use! She's falling too fast!
If only these vines were longer.
[epic music intensifies]
[gasps] Saddle-cadabra!
Woo-hoo! I knew it! You had Earth pony magic all along!
Guess so! Just needed a good reason for it to start working!
Hoofdini! You saved Glory. You're not just a magician, you're a hero!
What did I say, huh? Nothing belongs on the garbage dump! Unicycled!
A-ha! And for your next trick…
Shout out to my friend Hoofdini for this new big show-stopping entrance!
[in sing-song voice] It's magic!
[upbeat music]
Whaddya think, Izzy?
Mare-aculous!
[closing theme music]
