Journey of the Spark/Transcript


 * Changeling: Your Majesty, we found it.
 * Queen Chrysalis: Perfect.


 * Changeling: This is it, Your Highness.
 * Queen Chrysalis: At last... I finally found him. Keep watch outside. I have some business that I would like to discuss with our little friend.
 * Changeling: Yes, Your Majesty.
 * Discord: [voice] You know, it's not often that I receive a visit from royalty. Queen Chrysalis, is it?
 * Queen Chrysalis: So you are Discord.
 * Discord: [voice] Spirit of chaos and disharmony, at your service.
 * Queen Chrysalis: I have come to--
 * Discord: [voice] I know why you're here. You want revenge against Twilight Sparkle. Tisk tisk, Your Majesty. Playing around with revenge is a very dangerous thing.
 * Queen Chrysalis: I could have succeeded in conquering Canterlot had that pathetic unicorn not found me out! That little Twilight... I want to make her pay for thinking she could humiliate me! But I can't act against her on my own. That is why I have come seeking your help.
 * Discord: [voice] How exciting! Sadly, as you can see, I'm having some trouble getting around these days. I'm afraid I can only help you if I am freed from this prison.
 * Queen Chrysalis: And how am I supposed to do that?
 * Discord: [voice] Tell me, Your Majesty, what happens when you remove one of the Elements of Harmony?
 * Queen Chrysalis: I don't... understand.
 * Discord: [voice] Twilight Sparkle is the key to activating the Elements of Harmony's powers.
 * Queen Chrysalis: Go on...
 * Discord: [voice] Get Twilight's friends to turn against her. Wreak chaos, spread disharmony, make Twilight the villain. And only then will you be able to separate her from the others.
 * Queen Chrysalis: But how can I do that? They trust her too much to believe she would do something terrible of her own accord.
 * Discord: [voice] Ugh. And here I thought there were some smarts in that cheese-grated brain of yours. Think, Chryssi, think! Who does Twilight Sparkle care about more than any pony in Equestria?
 * Queen Chrysalis: Hmm, I see...
 * Discord: [voice] Now you're getting it. Break the Element of Magic away from the others, and I shall do the rest. No one will be powerful enough to stop us, not even Celestia! You get your sweet revenge, and I get to roam free as I did before, no longer chained by the Elements of Harmony.
 * Queen Chrysalis: Very well. I will help you escape from your prison. But should you double-cross me, there will be dire consequences.
 * Discord: [voice] Oh, perish the thought!
 * Queen Chrysalis: We shall see. Heed this warning, Twilight Sparkle: the end of harmony may arrive sooner than you think. [evil laugh]


 * [opening title]


 * Spike: [off-screen] Twilight! Twilight!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Yes, Spike?
 * Spike: We just got a letter from Princess Celestia! You'd better get down here, quick!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Be right there. What's the letter say?
 * Spike: [clears throat] "To my faithful student: I am writing this letter to inform you that this year marks the return of the Royal Arch-mage Coronation."
 * Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] The Archmage Coronation?!
 * [beat]
 * Spike: Right. "We are hosting a celebration in honor of this legendary event, and it would be my pleasure for you and your friends to join us in Canterlot to discuss preparations. I await your reply. Sincerely, Princess Celestia." Do you hear that, Twilight?
 * Twilight Sparkle: It's pronounced "Ark-mage".
 * Spike: That's what I said, "the Royal Arch-mage". Uh... what's an arch-mage?
 * Twilight Sparkle: The Royal Archmage is the highest honor that any gifted and well-versed unicorn can receive. Quick, let's send a response. "Dear Princess Celestia, I would be more than happy to join your for the event. I will gather up my friends immediately, and we will be on our way. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." I've been reading up on the ceremony. Supposedly it only happens once every hundred years. It's one of Canterlot's most prestegious events!
 * Spike: Wow! This is so cool! Do you think the princess might give you the title, Twilight?
 * Twilight Sparkle: I think that might be a bit of a stretch, Spike. The archmage position is rarely given to ordinary unicorns. It's a position reserved for certain members of the royal family. But, there has been an exception every now and then.
 * Spike: Ah... well, who needs a fancy title? You're still the best magician ever, no doubt!
 * Twilight Sparkle: To be fair, Spike, I think you're the best assistant ever.
 * Twilight Sparkle and Spike: [laugh]


 * [Twilight Sparkle]
 * Today I'll shine like I've never shone before
 * And I will show the princess that I'm ready for more
 * I'll dazzle her with magic, every spell that I've done
 * And I'll prove to her I'm ready for my place in the sun


 * [Rainbow Dash]
 * Today I'll be what I've never been before
 * And I will take to the sky, spread my wings, and soar
 * There's a brand new spark up in the sky today
 * And as sure as night is dark, we are on our way


 * [Rarity]
 * Today I'll rise with the upper crust
 * Fancy drinks, crystal glass--


 * [Applejack]
 * Cider is a must!


 * [Rarity]
 * Clean your hooves, it's a big day!


 * [Applejack]
 * Hold your horses, they're okay!


 * [Rarity and Applejack]
 * Sure as stubborn ponies squabble, we are on our way


 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * There'll be ponies laughing, ponies dancing, having so much fun!
 * I cannot wait to celebrate everything with everyone
 * All those thousands of ponies from every place under the sun!


 * Fluttershy: Thousands of ponies? Really?
 * Pinkie Pie: Of course! The Prince and Princess are coming back! It's the event of the century!
 * Fluttershy: [whimpers]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie!


 * [Fluttershy]
 * Maybe I'll hide in a cupboard, lock the door...


 * [Twilight Sparkle]
 * There won't be thousands of ponies there by far--


 * [Fluttershy]
 * Are you sure?
 * I could find a little corner I could use for a day


 * [Rainbow Dash]
 * Don't listen to Pinkie Pie, she's gone off the hay!
 * And as sure as the Wonderbolt flies, we are on our way


 * [Rarity and Applejack]
 * The bumpy road to Canterlot


 * [Rainbow Dash]
 * Flying free!


 * [Applejack]
 * Through dirt we'll trot!


 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * And we'll party!


 * [Fluttershy]
 * Maybe not!


 * [All]
 * And sure as the moon is grey
 * We're on our way
