Does every animal have their copy of Wuthering Hooves? ...Friend's Book Club? Let's discuss the theme of nature as it applies to Hoof Cliffs'love.
Did somepony leave a light on? Oh, it's me. Oh! It's me! My Little Pony My Little Pony My Little Pony My Little Pony My Little Pony My Little Pony My Little Pony My little pony Until you all said it's magic with me Big adventure Tons of fun A beautiful heart, faithful and strong Sharing kindness It's an easy feat And magic makes it all complete You have my little fairy Do you know you're all my very best friends?
You're here! Isn't this exciting? Oh, you were called too!
Thank goodness. I feel so much better going with a friend. I was about to come and get you, but then I got distracted.
Oh. Ever since the map called us, I've been doing a ton of research. Testing out potential friendship problems. Diversifying my solution portfolio.
Ever since the map called us? But... That happened five minutes ago. I know, but I want to be 100% prepared. I mean, I'm the Princess of Friendship.
How would it look if I couldn't solve a friendship problem? Oh, I'm so lucky I'm being sent with you. Speaking of which, where are we going?
The Smoky Mountains. Oh, I've never been there before. Neither have I. And there isn't a lot of information on them.
All I could find was this. The Smoky Mountains harbor the most beautiful valley in all of Equestria. between its two majestic mountain peaks.
That's gorgeous. And where there's nature, there's a ton of animal friends. I can't wait to get started.
I'm a little nervous since that's all I could find. I usually like to be a bit more prepared. You seem pretty prepared to me.
Are those... for us? Yep! I've prepared our things! Snacks, books, blankets, books!
You said books twice. There are a lot of books. What do you think our friendship problem's gonna be?
I don't know... But I'm sure we'll figure it out. Nya!
Uhhh! Uhhh! Do you think it'll be a problem about lying? Oh, I'm sure we'll find out when we get there.
You're right....about when two friends just randomly decide to do something together, but they forget to invite the third friend, and the third friend feels left out? Or where one friend tells another friend's secret after they ask them not to? We'll know very, very soon, since we're almost there. Here, let me get that. Thank you.
Sorry I've been a little skiddly boppy boo. I just can't believe this is finally happening! Whoa!
...Oyster is happening! It's nothing like your book said it would be! Oh boy, I'm feeling very unprepared.
Where do we even start? Maybe by figuring out where the flying pumpkins are coming from? RANNY! Um, hi!
Hello, I can't believe you're here. Excuse us, but what are you doing? We're pumpkin-ing our neighbors!
Yes, but, um, why are you pumpkin-ing your neighbors? Well, because the McColts are just plain rotten! Hey, wait a tick.
Who are you two? You're not spies for the McCombs, are ya? I am Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship, and I'm here to solve your friendship problem. I'm Fluttershy, and, um...
I'm here too. Ma Huffield! Pleased to meet ya, but you're wasting your time.
We don't have a friendship problem. We have a McColt problem. And there's absolutely no friendship there.
Well, maybe there could be if we figure out what the McColts did to make you so mad. Oh, they've done so many things. Why, just today, they shot pebbles at our farmhouse and wrecked it. See, we're not very good at building, so all it took was a little pebble. But still!
Oh, no! I know what to do. We're gonna talk with these McColts and hear their side of the story. Once we have all the facts, we can put an end to this using reason and rationale.
Good plan. That's why she's the princess. In the meantime, could you please call off the pumpkin-ing? Oh, alright.
Thanks. Come on, Fluttershy. State your business!
Don't even bother. They're probably spies for the hoof fields. Hey, wait, you're an alicorn! I thought just the three princesses were alicorns.
There are four ali- Princess is an equestrian owl, I am Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship. And I'm Fluttershy. We have a new princess? When did that happen?
And how did the Hoofields come by a princess spy? We are not spies! Why does everypony assume we're spies? Because we don't get a lot of visitors. I'm Big Daddy McCult.
You caught us at a weird time. We're in the middle of a giant feud with our... TERRIBLE NEIGHBORS! Well, actually, that's why we're here.
To solve your problem with the hoof fields. So you're here to help us get rid of them. No, that's not what I meant at all.
Well, if you ain't for us, you're in us. We are not on anypony's side. We're here to help you become friends again. Well, that's gonna be hard. I don't believe we've ever been friends with the...
Hupfields! But you could be! They're just really upset you ruined their farmhouse!
Wait a hog-wogglin'minute! We only did that because the... Hupfields pulled the pit out of our wagon wheel!
A whole week's worth of food rollin'down the mountain! Us mccolts are mighty fine builders, but we don't know the first thing about farming. What do you have to travel on?
ways away to buy our food. Now we'll be stuck eating the pumpkins that Huffield's launched at us. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, pumpkin quesadillas, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheese, pumpkin pie, pumpkin frittatas.
Actually, that all sounds pretty good, but it'll get old. Have you tried meeting at a neutral location, talking about your problems, and really listening to each other? What? No! They'd sooner lock their dinners at us than listen to us!
Well, they'll listen to me. I'm an impartial third party! Attention, hoof fields and mobs!
I'm not a- We are both wasting time and resources on being mean to each other. Ponies are supposed to help each other and be kind. So, let's stop this senseless fighting! There, that should do it.
Ready to go home, Fluttershy? I'd love to, but if we solve the problem already, shouldn't our cutie marks be glowing again? Oh yeah, they should be glowing any minute now.
Let's get to find out why the hook fields are launching tomatoes now. One at a time, Green Hoof. If you smush them tomatoes in the slingshot, they won't break on the McColts. What are you doing?
I asked you to stop fighting. Oh, is that what you were hollering about? We thought the McColts rubbed you the wrong way, so we tomatered them for you. My mistake.
Stop the tomato slingshots! Below the tomato slingshots, we're gonna paint their mountaintop red! There. Well, that didn't work.
I was so sure it would. It was a good plan. We need to think of another one, and soon. This fight is really affecting the animals around here. Not to worry.
I'll just, uh... Find the root of the problem and work from there. Pardon us, Ma, but do you remember what started this whole feud in the first place?
They know what they did. They know what they did! I'm starting to think neither of you know what either of you have done.
Sure we do. Them hip-bills did us a grave injustice some time ago for some reason. Share here! Okay, backup plan to the backup plan.
Maybe we can find some common ground that you can bond over. What do you do when- when you're not fighting. That's easy.
Getting ready to fight. What do you hope to get out of fighting? The satisfaction of winning. Of winning what?
The fight, of course. To prove our family is the best. The best at what? Winning.
Haven't you been listening? So the only thing they have in common is that they both want to win a fight, and neither of them know when it's over. How can I end this feud if I don't know what it's about? Ooh, maybe somebody just needs to say they're sorry.
That's a good idea. And friendship solution number 48. But we can move it up. I'm so glad you agreed to do this. This apology cake will go a long way to making amends between you two. Which part of my argument changed your mind?
The part where I said the benefits of friendship outweigh the cost of war? Or the part where I said forgiveness is an investment in happiness? Yeah, yeah, all of it.
Wait, are you even listening to me? Who goes there? It's my hoof field. Hoof field alert! Arm the cannons!
With an apology cake. Did you say cake? As in cake? Consider it a gesture of goodwill from us to you. I haven't had cake in ages.
Open! Open the gate! It's such a beautiful cake. Think of this as more than just a cake.
It's the first step in the long road to forgiveness. Nothing says let's be friends like a cake that says let's be friends. I wrote that in icing on the top.
For glory! Wow! McCall! Assume Delta Force formation! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Ready!
Aim! Fire! Fire!
Oh, Goofy Field! You planted ponies in that cake?! Yeah!
Wait, are you serious about apologizing? Why in Equestria would we do that?! We didn't do anything wrong! What are you talking about?! You've done so many things wrong!
Not as many as you! If you could just not yell so much, or maybe stop saying words altogether. Twilight!
Twilight, we should probably get back there. I mean, if you need a break, that's fine, but I really can't do this without you. I don't know if we can do this at all.
Even if I make things right, they're just gonna fight again. Hey, you little fellas. Well, that's okay.
You can come out. What was that? Oh, you poor things!
There isn't enough food here for you! Oh, brr! And you're freezing!
I'm gonna take you all home with me and get you all hot cocos. How do you feel about book clubs? I don't get it. This was supposed to be the most beautiful valley in all of Equestria. What happened?
What's that? Oh! Uh-huh.
Twilight! They know what happened here! What?
Stop! You have to listen to me! Everypony's free! Free!
You have to tell them! It's a lot harder to freeze an army of ponies than just six of them! Before you keep fighting, there is something you should know!
Long ago, there were two best friends, Grubhofield and Piles McCult. When they found the valley between the Smoky Mountains, they knew it was something special. So they made a promise to each other to protect and preserve the valley for all its adorable furry inhabitants.
But they disagreed on how to go about it. Grub wanted to start by planting crops so that everypony would have a little bit of a chance to grow. would have something to eat.
But Piles thought it would be better to start by building a shelter to protect them against the cold and wind. The two ponies were unable to come to an understanding, so Piles went ahead and built a shelter anyway, exactly where Grub was going to start his farm. Grub was upset, so he tore down Piles'shelter so he could plant his crops.
They kept fighting back and forth until it turned into a war. into a feud. The valley suffered from the constant destruction until finally the Hookfields and the Colts moved to separate mountains. Even then, the valley and all the animals in it continued to be caught in the crossfire. You see, by fighting, you're destroying the very thing that brought you here in the first place.
So it's time you both put your differences aside and come together. If not for yourselves, then for the sake of these cute and cuddly guys. Oh, shucks.
We never met. Want to hurt you little critters? Yeah, we're sorry!
They say they accept your apology. Uh, princess, you can unfreeze us now. Oh, right.
My Huffield, we promise we won't fight you no more. Us too. Except we promise not to fight you.
I suppose it doesn't matter who's right. We're both wrong. That's one thing we can agree on. This is wonderful!
I am so proud- ...of you two. Oh, thanks, princess. Though, I would just like to point out that I was the, uh, first to admit I was wrong.
That may be, but I promise not to fight first. That counts for more. Oh! Yeah! All right.
We don't have to speak animal to know what y'all are saying. Truce. Truce. Won't you eat, figure it out? We did.
And we didn't need my friendship portfolio to do it. We just needed each other. So, what do you think will happen next? We've all been called by the map now. Oh!
Huh, I'm sure we'll find out when we get home. What if it summons all six of us to another place? Or another pony we weren't expecting? What if it wants us to solve other kinds of problems like-
