Twilight: I've been planning this retreat for weeks

and we're already ten minutes behind.

Where is that photographer?

Oh, no, oh no, oh no. I'm SO SORRY.

Can you forgive me?

I don't expect you to forgive me.

Forgive me?

[growl]

Of course.

I'll help you set up your--

Princess Twilight, thanks SO much for this!

The Canterlot Historical Society is thrilled to document

the friendship work your teachers do.

Let me just pretty you all up!

OW!

Hey!

Don't want a single hair out of place, do we?

This is for the history books!

Now...

[flash pops]

Well, that's that! Bye!

WAIT!

You forgot Starlight!

She needs a picture too!

'Kay.

Now I'll get out of your manes!

I know how busy you are!

Yes, I know.

We have been planning this for quite some time.

[nasty laugh]

Oh, thank you, Applejack.

My spell can create a copy of anypony I desire.

All I need is an image and a piece of the pony.

Oh, and this.

[zap]

Why copies, Rarity?

Because Princess Twilight and her friends

control the Elements of Harmony.

The most powerful weapon in ALL Equestria.

[zap]

Which means YOU...

Will.

be, able, to, use, them, too!

[zap]

And serve me.

[zap]

Together, we will destroy Twilight Sparkle

and her meddlesome friends.

[zap]

OF COURSE I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN STARLIGHT GLIMMER!

She stole my hive.

Turned my subjects against me.

So I'll take her "friends" away while she watches.

And then I'll destroy her.

[maniacal laugh]

[zap]

With the Elements under my control,

I'll build a NEW hive of earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi.

And I will rule as Queen once again!

[huge zap]

[power up]

[crackling]

♪♪

At least our retreat isn't TOO far behind schedule.

Get ready for fun!

Are we talking FUN fun?

Or learning pretending to be fun?

Both! We've all been so busy teaching,

we've hardly had a chance to hang out with each other.

And I may have scheduled some friendship activities as well.

Count me in!

We can do friendship trust falls and pony pyramids...OH!

And hide and seek!

QUICK FIND ME!

Well, I love the idea of some quiet time with my best friends.

AH! YOU FOUND ME!

Rarity, why is Applejack carrying all your stuff?

Oh, that's not mine.

Yes, I used to overpack a tad.

But now it's JUST the essentials for me.

I'm a simple filly.

Normally I wouldn't lug so much gear,

but did y'all know this is Starlight's FIRST time campin'?

I just never really felt the need to...

hang out in nature.

Home has books, tea, fewer bugs, a roof...

That attitude right there is why I brought

the whole kit n' caboodle!

I'm giving Starlight the FULL Apple family camping experience!

Um, where ARE we camping?

Right next to the elements that brought us all together

in the first place.

The Tree of Harmony!

♪♪

LISTEN to your Queen!

We must retrieve The Elements of Harmony!

Hunting down some lame Elements?

This is the worst day EVER!

[splat]

No. NOW it's the worst day ever.

[mean laugh]

Those elements are mine!

Along with this rock.

Oh, and that twig.

I got all kinds of Elements right here under my hat.

I'll letcha see 'em for five bits.

Losers.

Why didn't you just attack them?

Excuse me?

You were close enough to pull hairs from their manes.

Why not just take your revenge then?

They've defeated my army.

I know better than to strike alone.

I need--

Friends?

Servants.

And the power of the Elements.

Right.

So, where are these Elements of Harmony?

The location of the most powerful weapon in Equestria

isn't something made known to just anypony.

I learned they were hidden somewhere in this forest.

Yeah well, it is a big forest.

[angry snarl]

Everypony stop!

And smell these roses!

[sniff]

Aaah!

Oh, yeah!

All right! Roses! Fun!

Now... let's try and stay on schedule!

Applejack, darling?

Anything in that wagon for mane maintenance?

Uh, let's see here.

Uh, look I got a bandana?

An entire wagon and no anti friz?

Darling, you're not even prepared!

I am. For campin'.

How you doin', Starlight?

[grunt]

Great.

[chirping]

Oh, no!

You and your sister fell out of your nest and got separated?

That's terrible!

Here.

I'm sure your home isn't TOO far away.

WAH! PINKIE!

If we keep stopping to have fun,

we're never going to get to the fun things I've got planned!

Good point!

LAST ONE TO THE TREE OF HARMONY IS A PARASPRITE!

[sigh]

I'm so bored!

Are we there yet?

WHERE yet?

We don't even know where we're going.

The quicker we search the forest,

the quicker we find the Elements.

I know where the Elements are.

This uh, here boulder just told me. I swear.

[bird chirps]

You tried to fly out of the nest, but you fell and got lost?

[chirp]

[nasty laugh]

Hope ya like walking!

[laughter]

[yawn]

Come get me when I should care.

Where.

Are.

The others?

Uh, a uh Bugbear in plaid socks flew down and uh grabbed 'em.

Then disappeared!

Craziest thing I ever did see.

Turn around.

We're going back.

No! Keep searching.

I'll find the others.

We can accomplish more if we split our resources.

Very well.

You have my permission.

"Permission"?

You need us way more than we need you, "Your Majesty".

The others are fools.

But with me to lead them, there's no reason we can't find

the Elements and keep the power for ourselves.

♪♪

[rustling]

YOU'RE IT!

Hey, how did you get ahead of me?

You're fast!

I'm looking for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash!

Aren't they back there?

They are?

Sure!

Unless they're already at the Tree of Harmony.

What is the TREE of Harmony?

Oh, ha ho!

This is one of your "activities" right?

Like a friendship quiz?

It's the crystal tree that holds the Elements of Harmony!

BOOM!

Where is it?

Bzzzz! It's at the bottom of the stairs in the ravine

by the Castle of the Two Sisters!

A double BOOM!

How do you know?

You've SEEN it?

Mm hm!

Honestly Twilight, these questions are SUPER easy.

[chirping]

Right where you belong.

Oh, dear.

This isn't where I belong.

Oh, Rainbow Dash!

I'm so glad YOU'RE here.

I was lost!

Bummer. Later.

What just happened?

Hey,Fluttershy!

Fluttershy? Fluttershy!

Fantastic. First Pinkie races ahead of us,

and now Fluttershy is lost somewhere behind us.

My retreat is off to a great start.

It's not like Fluttershy to disappear like this.

We'll split up and search for her.

We can all meet back at the Tree.

Starlight, take the navigation gear and--

Go with Rarity? Great!

Rainbow Dash, YOU can go with Applejack!

I'll find Pinkie Pie.

Bored bored bored.

This is ridiculous! Where are my other minions?

Probably plotting to steal my things. Grrr.

They're at a secret party up in that there tree,

run by a squirrel named Jerome.

But uh, you need a password to get in.

ENOUGH!

[crash]

You will GO out there and find the others.

You will BRING them back here.

And we will STEAL the Elements of Harmony,

so I can destroy Starlight's life like she destroyed mine.

Understand?

[Uh huh!

The party password is: Rutabaga.

Why don't you fly up to your nest?

Oh, that's right. YOU CAN'T.

[nasty laugh]

[chirps]

Oh, Nopony asked you.

[chittering]

I hope you all freeze this winter.

[stomp stomp]

[cackle]

Hello again, little friend.

I think I may be walking in circles.

[angry chirping]

Oh, my!

Where did you learn that kind of language?

Um. Excuse me.

[angry chittering]

[frightened whimpers]

Finally! You found her!

Me? We're looking for Fluttershy!

Where's Starlight?

Well, if I knew THAT...

[boing]

Hey!

THIS is mine.

And this as well.

Oh, and this is ABSOLUTELY mine.

Rarity, what in the hay are ya gonna do with a fishing rod?

I don't know.

But I WANT it.

♪♪

Starlight, darling.

Your'e a gloriously bad camper.

And coming from me, that is saying a lot.

I know.

Want to break it to Applejack for me?

Who's breakin' what now?

Who are you?

Very funny, Applejack.

Still me under all this gear, Starlight.

Starlight?

How about that.

Y'all better come with me.

It's dangerous out here!

Applejack darling, are you all right?

You look a little peaky.

And where's your wagon?

Uh, stolen!

I barely got away!

Follow me and I'll tell ya ALL about it.

Pinkie!

There you are!

What are you doing?

[pop]

YOU CALL THAT A POP? UGH!

I thought you were racing to the retreat!

Please.

Why would I waste my time on a boring, lame, no-fun retreat?

What?

Rainbow Dash!

I think something's wrong with Pinkie.

Not my problem.

[splash]

[groan]

And then all we grew SUPER long manes with ALL kinds of colors

and your castle grew out of the ground and everypony was like

"WHOA!" And then we sang this song about Rainbows and--

Fluttershy! What's wrong?

[sobbing]

Everycreature is mad at me!

What? That can't be right.

[sobbing]

[groan]

Can we hurry this up?

We're on a schedule here.

Twilight, your schedule can wait!

Fluttershy's upset!

Well, tell her to get over it!

I'll go get the others.

STAY. HERE.

[sobbing]

Great.

You upset Fluttershy, too?

You know what, Twilight?

Maybe if you weren't so worried about schedules,

you'd realize you're the one ruining the retreat

for your friends!

[gasp] Well!

If my friends don't care about the retreat I planned for them,

maybe they should've stayed HOME!

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?

[sobbing]

Keep it together.

You can do this.

You NEED those imbeciles if your plan is going to come together.

YOUR plan?

[gasp]

Uh, THE plan.

I'm just trying to do your bidding, Your Majesty.

Grubsitting you six is nothing like controlling my hive.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just destroy you all

and start over.

Because I know where The Elements of Harmony are.

You NEED me.

[sinister laugh]

♪♪

Mine! Mine!

[grunts and laughter]

I'm guessing some kinda curse?

Maybe Poison Joke?

Well, somethin' sure ain't right.

What are you plotting back there?

I can HEAR you, you know.

Don't think you're going to steal my things!

Oof!

[clatter]

Hang on.

I got a shovel we can use to whack those vines outta the way.

I KNEW IT!

I KNEW YOU WANTED IT ALL FOR YOURSELVES!

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!

[thud]

IT'S MINE!YOU HEAR ME!

ALL MINE!

[shrieks]

So there I was, just me and a bucket of honey!

Yeah, yeah that's the ticket.

But I- I survived all by myself in this here forest

for 127 hours!

Really?

I can't believe you've never told us that story before.

She's making a point. WE GET IT.

You're the GREATEST camper in the history of Equestria.

Well, I sure don't need any of that silly stuff

you're luggin' around.

The things you gave me are SILLY?

Just look in a mirror!

Guess I shoulda told ya that before, huh?

Heh heh heh!

[gasp]

Glad I was so entertaining for you.

I'm going to make sure she doesn't break a hoof out there

and then you and I are going to have a serious talk.

FINALLY!

There. That's all of you.

Nopony leaves without my say so.

Now wait a second.

Weren't you just--

[zap]

[gulp]

The time for my revenge on Starlight Glimmer has come.

Let's see if you're telling the truth about this tree.

Ha ha ha!

Rarity: Starlight!

Oh, please stop running.

[scream]

[crash]

[sobbing]

Of course I care about Fluttershy!

Then you got a super-weird way of showing it!

Rarity: What in Equestria is going on here?

Twilight is so into her "retreat"

that she doesn't even care if her friends are upset!

She just wants us to STAY.

ON. SCHEDULE!

Well, I'm SORRY Pinkie!

If I KNEW you thought this was a "boring lame no fun retreat"

I wouldn't have invited you in the FIRST PLACE!

I NEVER SAID THAT!

Sorry, y'all.

We woulda been here sooner but we had to take the long way

after RARITY ran off with all my stuff!

I most certainly did not!

What? You know I ain't no liar!

Where's all your gear?

Why? So you can LAUGH at me some more?

Hey hey! We're all friends here!

FRIENDS?

You left me alone in the woods!

[crying]

[all talking at once]

EVERYPONY, QUIET!

Listen.

We know each other really well.

The great stuff and how to get on each other's nerves, too.

I wanted a fun trip with my friends.

But instead, I got carried away with plans

and ruined everything.

If you want to forget it all and head home, I won't be offended.

I just want us to stop fighting.

Hey, sorry if I got carried away

with all that campin' stuff.

I'm sorry, too.

I should've just told you I'll never like camping.

Also: I'll never like camping.

Well, if we're all being honest...

I can't survive with just this tiny efashionable

little saddle bag!

I miss my things!

I'm sorry that you thought that I thought your plan was lame!

Your plans are the most unlamest!

And I always have fun when we're all together.

Even if it's learning pretending to be fun.

So does that mean you still want to have the retreat?

YES!

If everypony likes me again.

[shouts and laughter]

Let's get to that Tree!

I have the whole campsite set up and ready!

What's this garbage?

Badger installation art.

Ya see...

JUST RETRIEVE THE ELEMENTS!

[evil laughter]

Once we get the power of the Elements, no creature,

not even "Her Majesty" can tell us what to do.

Just follow my lead, got it?

[cackles]

Oooooh! That one's mine.

Oops. I'd say sorry, but I'm not.

Stop it, fools!

We need the elements to take out Chrysalis!

This was.

The worst. Day. Ever!

Come on, everypony.

We can fix this campsite in no time.

Spoken like a true camper.

Eh, don't push it.

I think our friendship is strong enough to handle

anything the world can throw at us.
