- Twilight Sparkle: You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you're wrong, because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right *here*.
- Nightmare Moon: What?
- Twilight Sparkle: Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!
- Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness!
- Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!
- Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity!
- Twilight Sparkle: And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty!
- Twilight Sparkle: The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us.
- Nightmare Moon: You still don't have the sixth Element! The spark didn't work!
- Twilight Sparkle: But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all - are my friends. You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic.
- Nightmare Moon: NOOO! Nooo!
- Princess Celestia: [Luna has just been freed of Night Mare Moon's influence] It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister.
- Everypony: Sister?
- Princess Celestia: Will you accept my friendship?
- Pinkie Pie: Whoa!
- Princess Luna: [runs forward and embraces her] I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!
- Princess Celestia: [crying tears of joy with her] I've missed you, too.
- Pinkie Pie: [blows her nose, sobs, and streams of tears flow out of her eyes as she cries; suddenly, the waterfalls stop] Hey, you know what this calls for? A PARTY!
- Twilight Sparkle: I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are, where to find them... I don't even know what they do!
- Pinkie Pie: [looking on the shelf] "The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide".
- Twilight Sparkle: [knocks her aside] How did you find that?
- Pinkie Pie: [dance-bouncing, sing-song voice] It was under "E"!
- Twilight Sparkle: Oh.
- Princess Celestia: Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it.
- Twilight Sparkle: But... you told me it was all an old pony tale.
- Princess Celestia: I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart.
- Rarity: Such lovely luminescent scales.
- Sea Serpent: I know.
- Rarity: Your expertly coiffed mane.
- Sea Serpent: Oh, I know, I know!
- Rarity: Your fabulous manicure.
- Sea Serpent: It's so true!
- Rarity: All ruined without your beautiful mustache.
- Sea Serpent: It's true, I'm *hideous*!
- Twilight Sparkle: [Pinkie Pie is laughing at some scary-looking trees in the Everfree Forest] Pinkie, what are you doing? Run!
- Pinkie Pie: Oh girls, don't you see?
- Pinkie Pie: [singing] When I was a little filly and the sun was going down...
- Twilight Sparkle: Tell me she's not...
- Pinkie Pie: The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown.
- Rarity: She is.
- Pinkie Pie: I'd hide under my pillow from what I thought I saw/ But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way to deal with fears at all.
- Rainbow Dash: Then what is?
- Pinkie Pie: She said: Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall, learn to face your fears/ You'll see that they can't hurt you, just laugh to make them disappear.
- Pinkie Pie: Ha ha ha!
- [the scary face in the tree disappears; the other ponies gasp]
- Pinkie Pie: [singing; the other ponies laugh with her to vanquish the scary faces] So, giggle at the ghostly/Guffaw at the grossly/Crack up at the creepy/Whoop it up with the weepy/Chortle at the kooky/Snortle at the spooky
- Pinkie Pie: [half singing/speaking] And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... HAHAHAHA... heh... LAUGH!
- [they all laugh together]
- Shadowbolt: [offscreen voice] Rainbow... Rainbow...
- Rainbow Dash: [is about to finish fixing the rope bridge for her friends] Who's there? I ain't scared of you! Show yourself!
- Shadowbolt: We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the best flyer in Equestria.
- Rainbow Dash: Who?
- Shadowbolt: Why, you, of course.
- Rainbow Dash: Really? I mean... Oh yeah, me. Hay, uh, you wouldn't mind telling the Wonderbolts that, would ya? 'cause I've been trying to get into that group for like, *ever*.
- Shadowbolt: No, Rainbow Dash. We want you to join us, The Shadowbolts.
- [three pegasus ponies gallop up to Rainbow Dash wearing bodysuits and goggles similar to the Wonderbolts; the female speaker in the middle is flanked by two males]
- Shadowbolt: We're the greatest aerial team in the Everfree Forest, and soon we will be the greatest in all Equestria, but first, we need a captain. The most magnificent...
- Rainbow Dash: Yep.
- Shadowbolt: Swiftest...
- Rainbow Dash: Yes.
- Shadowbolt: Bravest flyer in all the land.
- Rainbow Dash: Yes,
- [chuckle]
- Rainbow Dash: it's all true.
- Shadowbolt: We need... *you*.
- Rainbow Dash: WOOHOO! Sign me up. Just let me tie this bridge real quick and then we have a deal.
- Shadowbolt: No! It's *them* or *us*.
- Twilight Sparkle: [from the other side of the bridge] Rainbow, what's taking so long?
- [sees Rainbow Dash talking to the Shadowbolts]
- Twilight Sparkle: Oh no. Rainbow! Don't listen to them.
- [the Shadowbolt leader muffles her out by increasing the density of the clouds between them]
- Shadowbolt: Well?
- Rainbow Dash: [thinks for a bit] You...
- [the leader gets excited]
- Rainbow Dash: Thank you! For the offer, I mean, but I'm afraid I have to say no.
- [finishes fixing the bridge and flies off]
