Quotes 

• Spike : [Twilight Sparkle is trying to rest in another room while everypony else is partying with techno music; she groans]  Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie is starting Pin The Tail on the Pony. Wanna play?

  Twilight Sparkle : No! All the ponies in this town are *crazy*! Do you know what time it is?

  Spike : It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration. Everypony has to stay up or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun. You really should lighten up Twilight. It's a party.

  Twilight Sparkle : [quietly mocking]  Ugh! Here I thought I'd have time to learn more about the Elements of Harmony, but, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it!

  [looking out the window] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Legend has it that in the longest day of the thousandth year the stars will aid in her escape and she will bring about everlasting night. I hope the Princess was right. I hope it really is just an old pony tale.

• Spike : [reading Celestia's response]  My dearest, most faithful student Twilight, you know that I value your diligence, and that I trust you completely...

  Twilight Sparkle : Mmm-hmm.

  Spike : ...But you simply *must* stop reading those dusty old books!

  Twilight Sparkle : [gasps in shock] 

• Spike : [on the chairot to Ponyville, reading Celestia's letter]  My dear Twilight: There is more to a young pony's life than studying. So I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location: Ponyville. And, I have an even more essential task for you to complete: make some friends.

  [Twilight groans] 

  Spike : Look on the bright side, Twilight, the Princess arranged for you to stay in a library! Doesn't that make you happy?

  Twilight Sparkle : [suddenly beams up]  Yes, yes, it does. You know why? Because I'm right. I'll check on the preparations as fast as I can, then get to the library to find some proof of Nightmare Moon's return.

  Spike : Then when will you make friends, like the Princess said?

  Twilight Sparkle : She said to check on preparations. I am her student, and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends.

• Twilight Sparkle : Take a note, please. To the princess.

  Spike : Okie dokie.

  Twilight Sparkle : "My dearest teacher. My continuing studies of pony magic have led me to discover, that we're on the precipice of disaster..."

  Spike : Hold on. Preci... preci...

  Twilight Sparkle : Threshold.

  Spike : Thre...

  Twilight Sparkle : Uh, brink? Ugh! That something really bad is about to happen. "For you see, the mythical Mare in the Moon is in fact Night Mare Moon and she's about to return to Equestria and bring with her eternal night. Something must be done to make sure this terrible prophecy does not come true. I await your quick response. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"

  Spike : Twilight. Sparkle. Got it.

• Pinkie Pie : Surprise! Hi. I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you. Were you surprised, were you, were you? Huh huh huh?

  Twilight Sparkle : Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be *quiet*.

  Pinkie Pie : [Twilight begins to mix a drink for herself, not knowing that she's pouring in hot sauce]  That's silly. What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring. You see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all, hello, and I was all, *gasp*, remember? You see I never saw you before, and if I never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know every pony, and I mean every pony in Ponyville, and if you're new, then it meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, and I had an idea, and that's why I went *gasp*, I'll just throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville. See? And now you have lots and lots of friends.

  Applejack : [to Twilight]  Are you alright, sugar cube?

  [train whistle sounds; Twilight runs out of the room, gagging] 

  Pinkie Pie : Awwww, she's so happy, she's *crying*.

  Spike : Hot sauce. Ew.

  Pinkie Pie : What? It's good!

• Twinkleshine : [with Lemon Hearts and Minuette]  There you are, Twilight! Moondancer is having a little get-together in the west castle courtyard. You wanna come?

  Twilight Sparkle : Oh, sorry, girls... I've got a lot of studying to catch up on.

  [runs off] 

  Twinkleshine : [sigh]  Does that pony do anything except study?

  Twinkleshine : I think she's more interested in books than friends.
