Phew! Thanks for helping me

get them so fresh and clean, Twilight.

No problem! Happy to do it.

You probably can't wait to get back to your castle

and take your own bath, huh?

Aren't there more animals that need cleaning?

I think you and I are the only ones left.

And I can't wait to get the mud out of my mane!

[splash]

Oh no! Angel got dirty!

I'd better stay longer to help give him a bath, too.

Fluttershy: Thank you ever so much for staying

to give Angel a bath, too...

But um, I think he's dry.

Goodness! It's gotten late.

You really didn't have to stay all day.

Not that we don't appreciate it.

Isn't that right?

I for one am exhausted.

[exaggerated yawn]

Plus, I really need to rest up

for that big pancake breakfast tomorrow!

And I'm sure you have to get the castle ready--

No! The castle's...fine.

But maybe I'd better see if Pinkie Pie needs help

with the pancakes!

[slam]

Um...Angel?

[munching]

[appreciative murmurs]

These are delicious, Pinkie Pie!

[slurp] [gulp]

Thanks! Twilight spent all night helping me pick the flavor.

I kept thinking we'd found the right one,

but she insisted I make even more to try.

And more. And more.

And more. And more. And more!

It was like she never wanted to--

--leave?

Exactly!

[munch]

Eventually we ran out of time so we just went with

Everyberry Anychip Surprise.

The surprise is I lost a measuring spoon in the batter.

Somepony's gonna get a very special pancake.

Rainbow: Up all night, huh?

Is that why she's so...

uh... out of it?

[snoring]

Um, I don't mean to sound unappreciative,

but has anypony else noticed that Twilight's been

a little too helpful lately?

Now that you mention it, she was lendin' a hoof

at Sweet Apple Acres the other day

and stuck around till near midnight.

Dug up fifty tree-plantin' holes when all I needed was ten.

Rarity: She spent an entire afternoon rearranging

a single gem drawer at the boutique.

An entire afternoon!

Rainbow: You think that's weird?

She raced me, like, a hundred times the other day

and lost every time.

She just kept going!

Best out of ten.

Best out of twenty.

Best out of a hundred!

I mean, I know hanging out with me is awesome

but it was like she'd rather keep losing than--

--leave?

Yeah.

Who does that?

[snoring]

[splat]

[snoring]

Somepony who's avoiding something, that's who.

Soon as she wakes up, we're gonna find out what.

[cough]

I WIN!

[gasp]

I'm pancake!

I mean, awake!

Uh, Twilight, is there something you want to tell us?

You know how much we appreciate all you do for us,

and we simply adore having you around.

But we worry you might be...

avoiding something else?

Oh, has it been that obvious?

I've been...

The thing is...

I know it's silly but I...

I've been avoiding...this place.

[gasp] Why in Equestria would you want to avoid

such a gorgeous castle?

Yeah, this place has everything!

Big tall ceilings that make you feel tiny.

Shiny new floors that are cold to the touch.

BRR!

And it even has long empty hallways... [echoes]

...hallways... hallways.

OK, I get it.

The castle is amazing.

But it just...

[sigh]

It doesn't feel like home.

[laughing]

Is that all?

Why you simply need to decorate, darling.

Make this space your own!

It's just so daunting.

Look how big it is.

I don't even know where to start.

You can start by letting us do it for you!

We will make this the castle of your dreams

while you go the Ponyville spa

for some much needed rest and relaxation.

I'm saying this with love, but...

have you looked in a mirror lately?

I've never seen you look this...

Yes, that is absolutely the word I was going to use.

I guess I do need a little help, and so does my castle.

And I just know you'll do a great job

because nopony knows me better than you!

We'll make this place feel cozier than hot cider

on a rainy day.

There's gonna be cider?

Uh...I mean, let's decorate!

Spike: Oh no, did I miss the pancakes?

I sleep like a baby under that cold, cavernous ceiling.

Spike, I'm so glad you're here!

Really?

Yes. You're taking Twilight to the spa.

Great! I've been meaning to get my claws done.

[munch]

Oh. You mean now.

Applejack: Wow, girls.

[unsure] We did a great job.

Together!

Heh heh.

Together!

Yeah, that sure is something.

We sure did.

[chirps]

Fluttershy, I love that you brought so many animals.

Are these your trophies?

I prefer to think of them as everypony's trophies.

But with my name permanently etched onto them.

My my, Applejack.

Bringing the outdoors inside, it's...earthy.

What a lovely touch.

[sniff sniff]

Are these quilts vintage?

Nope. Just old.

Unlike your sparkly window doohickeys, which are...

why, they're just swell.

No one said anything about my hidden confetti cannons!

Oh right. They're hidden.

[giggle]

Hey guys, how do my claws look? SWEET CELESTIA!

Oh! Spike! Are you and Twilight done already?

Don't worry, I ordered her the super-deluxe mane blowout.

She'll be a while.

Man, this place looks terrible!

[relieved sighs]

Thank goodness somepony said something.

It's pretty bad, right?

This place looks like a mishmash of knickknacks.

Hmmm, I suppose it is a little cluttered.

What are you guys talking about?

I think it looks super fun!

[pow]

[animal sounds]

[crash]

[growl]

Whee!

Oh no!

If we could all just take a deep breath and calm down...

[crash]

[chitters]

No! That bunting is embroidered by hoof!

Don't you move one more paw!

[rip]

EVERYPONY STOP!

[tire screech]

[clatter]

OK, now it's a mess.

[pow]

What are we gonna do?

I don't know, but Twilight's blowout won't take that long!

If she was avoiding the castle before,

she'll never set hoof in here now!

Come on, guys!

We've gotta do something!

Twilight's counting on us!

Spike, you've got to get back to that spa and stall her!

Whatever you do, don't let her come home!

Like forever?

But we live here.

Well uh, maybe you could manage until...

...sunsetish?

Anything for you, Rarity!

OK, we all agree the castle is too cluttered, right?

So why doesn't everypony take one of their own decorations out

and we'll see how it looks?

Uh huh!

Spike, you're back!

How do I look?

And more importantly, how does the castle look?

Great!

I can't wait to go home and see it!

Great!

I mean, NO!

I mean, uh, I'm not quite ready to go yet.

Why don't we have a massage?

I was really hoping to get uh, this thingy!

The extra strength hot stone deep tissue massage?

[gulp]

I think I'll just have a traditional massage,

but you go for it.

Did somepony order massages?

[crash]

YEAH!

Let's DO this, little dragon!

[crash]

Oh, I hate it when he does that.

Come with me, Princess.

Come on, Rarity.

Everypony has taken somethin' out except you.

I know!

I simply can't decide.

How about this?

No! Not that!

Anything but that!

How about these?

But those brighten up the whole room!

They're my favorite accent!

Then let's lose the curtains.

The room wouldn't need brightening

if they weren't making it so dark!

Not them!

They're my favorite, too!

They can't all be your favorite!

OK, I'm taking down the portrait.

We already know what we look like.

The room still looks a little bit cluttered, doesn't it?

Perhaps I'll take down a poster or two.

Only to be helpful, of course!

OK, everypony calm down.

I'm sure we can find a way to remove the clutter...

together!

You're absolutely right, dear.

Hey! Those are my warmin' quilts!

Together!

[popping]

Fluttershy, tell your birds to stop pecking at my balloons!

I guess they must not like being scared out of their wits

by exploding confetti cannons or something.

But we can't get rid of the cannons!

I don't remember where I hid 'em!

[pop]

Allow me to help you!

Applejack: Oh no, I'll help you!

Rainbow: NOT IF I HELP YOU FIRST!

Ah. Great suggestion, Spike.

I feel totally relaxed.

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow!

You wanna hop on?

Maybe I can get us to the castle faster.

OW!

I mean, how...

nice is this day?

I was hoping we could take the scenic way back.

I don't know.

Walking is good for post-massage circulation.

Really?

I've never heard that theory.

[sigh] I really miss this place, Spike.

We had so many wonderful memories here.

We did, didn't we?

Oh Spike, I'm so sorry.

Of course losing the Golden Oak Library was hard for you too.

I've got an idea!

Why don't we have the girls add some things

to make the castle feel more like your home as well?

Really?

Hop on!

[thud]

Ow!

I, um, I just thought of what I want.

Oh. OK. What is it?

It's a...

Well, I want a...

it's - I kinda need a...

A bed.

I thought you said you sleep like a baby in the castle.

Pfft! Everypony knows babies are terrible sleepers.

Let's go!

There! Now nothing is cluttering the castle!

There is literally NOTHING cluttering this castle!

What do we do now?

I hate to be the bearer of more bad news,

but it's almost sunset.

it's going to look like we didn't lift a hoof to help her.

Why is this so hard?

We're Twilight's best friends.

This should be easy for us!

She said it herself: if anypony should be able

to make her feel comfortable in her new home, it's us.

If we can't do it...

...then Twilight will be stuck living in a castle

that just makes her feel sad...

[echoes]

...sad...sad.

Wow, Fluttershy, I didn't know you could be

loud enough to echo.

[muttering to herself]

What do we do? What do we do?

If Twilight comes home now she'll be like

And we'll have to be like "NOTHING!"

And then she'll be like "I was counting on you!

Some friends you are!"

and we'll be like "AAAHHH!"

[blubbering]

Calm down, Pinkie.

We just need to figure out what we did wrong

so we can make it right.

Rarity: Well, I didn't do anything wrong.

I did exactly what I would do if this were my home.

But it's not your home; it's Twilight's home!

Where she keeps all her Rainbow Dash trophies?

Fluttershy: Maybe we're all a little guilty

of making ourselves feel at home instead of Twilight.

Come on, y'all, we just need to think about Twilight!

What was it she loved about living

in the Golden Oak Library?

Oh, everything!

The books, the smell of books,

the joy she felt from organizing books.

Remember that time I crashed into all those books

attempting my Sonic Rainboom after you guys just cleaned up?

[sigh] That was good times.

Yeah, for YOU, maybe.

remember when we were stuck having a sleepover there?

That turned out to be so much fun!

Remember the time it got blown up to smithereens?

Wait, no. That was the worst!

We had a lot of good memories there, though.

That's what made the Golden Oak Library home.

[all agree]

[gasp] That's it!

How's that one?

Too soft?

Too hard?

Too lumpy?

Ummm...

Just right! I'll take it!

Oh, thank goodness.

I thought you'd never find one you liked.

Let's find a salespony and get out of here.

Sounds good to me!

I mean, uh...

Do you hear that?

[imitates a squeak]

Too squeaky.

Better keep looking.

[growl]

Maybe my plan won't work after all.

Of course it will, darling! I can see it!

You and Fluttershy stay here.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, you come with me!

We're going shopping!

We'll meet back at the castle!

Hello? We're home!

All: Welcome home!

Oh. I, uh, love what you've done with the place!

You did such a good job of...

preserving the integrity of the original design.

Spike: Oh, come on!

It looks exactly the same!

Do you know how hard it was to keep her from coming back here?

I never want to see another dust ruffle as long as I live!

Twilight: Wait.

Keep me from coming back here?

It took a teensy bit longer than we thought.

What really makes home feel like home isn't what it looks like,

Seven Layer What's-That-Flavor Mystery Surprise!

These might be chocolate chips

or they might be super spicy black beans.

Let's go to the dining room!

but at least there's a table and chairs.

Whoa! What happened in here?

Last I checked this place was empty!

I couldn't help myself.

It was just begging for the personal touch.

Truth be told, I couldn't either.

Your kitchen might have some rustic farm decor, Twilight.

And there may or may not be some Derring Do posters

up in your library.

And some stuffed animals in your bedroom.

[pop and cheers]

What was that?

One of Pinkie Pie's confetti cannons.

What! It's not my fault I hid them so well!
