My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Season 4

Episode 13: Home

(It opens at the boys' house as Rob is poking Doug.)

Rob: Doug, Doug wake up.
Doug: What's up?
Rob: I'm sick of waiting to get home! We're looking through that stupid book ourselves!
Doug: Okay, I'll just tell Twilight to-
Rob: No, right now! We're getting over there, right now!
Doug: Rob... It's one in the morning. For goodness sake, Princess Luna isn't up right now!
Rob: Doug, we've been gone for three months! I don't freaking care what time it is!
Doug: Okay, fine. You know, you've been real bossy since you became... Whatever you are.

(Doug, Rob, and Chris go to the library and go in.)

Chris: Wait, where's John?
Doug: He's not going back. He said so a few nights ago.
Rob: Yeah, yeah, where's the book?!
Doug: Here.

(Doug brings the Spells of Asteroth out and looks through it.)

Doug: Oh hey, a Traveling Spell... But that's for the world you're already in. Um... Hey, here's one, but the lettering's so faded, I can't make out what the spell does.
Rob: Well then try it out! That must be it!
Doug: Um... Okay...

(Doug recites the spell in some forgotten language... And nothing happens.)

Rob: What the-? Nothing happened. Nothing happened! I can't believe this!
Doug: Dude, quiet. You don't wanna wake up, Twilight.

(Doug puts the book back.)

Doug: Let's just go back to the house and rest.
Rob: ... Fine.

(They head off as the book glows. Cut to the next morning as Doug wakes up in a POV shot as he walks around.)

Doug: Oh... I feel like I just died or something.

(Doug goes to a mirror as Spike walks up.)

Spike: Morning Twilight.

(Doug looks around for Twilight and finds he's in the library.)

Doug: How'd I get here?
Spike: Twilight, you live here, and what happened to your voice?

(Doug keeps looking around for Twilight as he catches a look of himself in the mirror, and it's Twilight's reflection staring back at him.)

Doug: AH! What am I doing in Twilight's body?!
Spike: Oh... Boy. Let me guess, Doug.
Doug: Oh man, oh man, oh man. What happened?!

(Cut to Rob waking up in Fluttershy's body as he walks around when he spots Angel Bunny.)

Rob: Hey man, what are you doing here?

(Angel Bunny stares in shock.)

Rob: What?

(Rob looks in the mirror and sees that he's in Fluttershy's body.)

Rob: Amalthea's horn, I'm a girl!

(Rob breaks down and cries.)

Rob: It's not fair! I'm a man! A MAN!

(Angel points to a picture of the gang at Sweet Apple Acres, particularly Big Mac, the stallion.)

Rob: Shut up! Just shut up!

(Cut to Chris waking up in Applejack's body as Applebloom comes in.)

Applebloom: Applejack, get up!
Chris: Huh? Applejack's here?
Applebloom: ... Uh-oh.
Chris: Uh-oh? What uh-oh?

(Chris looks out Applejack's window and sees her reflection.)

Chris: Hey Applejack, what are you doing out there?
Applebloom: Uh... Chris, that's your reflection.
Chris: Uh-oh.

(Cut to John as he gets up and walks around, noticing the decor of the room he's in.)

John: Hm... This doesn't look like my room.

(He sees that he's become Rarity.)

John: ... Oh... Sweetie Belle's in for a shock.

(He goes down as Sweetie Belle's there.)

Sweetie Belle: Hey Rarity! I- What's wrong?
John: Now, you may not believe this, but-
Sweetie Belle: John? You're in Rarity's body? Well then where's Rarity?
John: Well one could assume that she's in my body.

(Cut to Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie's room, as Rainbow Dash wakes up in Pinkie's body, and notices that she's pink.)

Rainbow Dash: Say huh?

(Rainbow Dash goes to the mirror to find Pinkie staring back.)

Rainbow Dash: Oh no!

(Cut to Pinkie as she's in Rainbow Dash's body, talking to her reflection.)

Pinkie: Rainbow Dash, please stop talking while I'm talking! I- Wait... This is a mirror, so... Ooh... A mystery!

(Pinkie puts on a Sherlock Holmes hat.)

Pinkie: The game's a foot... That's a funny expression!

(Cut to the boys' house as the girls wake up in their bodies.)

Rarity: Oh dear lord! Now all I can make are tuxedos!
Applejack: Tuxedos? We got more important things ta worry about! Like how we've all switched bodies with the boys!
Fluttershy: Oh, I hope Rob and Angel Bunny are okay.
Twilight: Okay everypony, let's just calm down and get to the library.

(Everyone meets up at the library as Doug lets them in.)

Rainbow Dash: Okay, what the heck happened?!
Doug: It's all my fault. I was looking through the Spells of Asteroth to speed along our chance to get home, and I found this page that had the title of it worn out. I read the spell, and I guess what it did was switch all of us up. I've been trying to use the Cut-Off spell, but it's not working.
Twilight: Ooh... That's not good.
Rob: Well what are we supposed to do?! Live our lives inside other people?!
Twilight: I'm sure there must be some way to reverse this spell, and Doug and I will look through it. You guys just... Well... Do what you normally do, I guess.
Rarity: Well if I'm going to spend an indefinite amount of time as a male, John must come with me to the Carousel Boutique at once!
John: Why?
Rarity: I've got to get as many dresses out as possible before everypony thinks I'm some sort of a weirdo.

(They head off as Twilight goes to the book while Doug mopes on the floor.)

Twilight: Doug, are you alright?
Doug: This was all my fault. I shouldn't have read that stupid spell.
Twilight: Hey, come on. You had no idea this would happen. Come on... Who's the best body guard around?
Doug: Those guys in Canterlot?
Twilight: Come on, Doug, you know what I meant.
Doug: Alright.

(Cut to Rob and Fluttershy.)

Fluttershy: You know I just don't understand how Doug did what he did. It just doesn't seem like him.
Rob: Yeah... It's so weird.

(Rob looks down as Angel Bunny taps his foot.)

Rob: What are you staring at?!

(Cut to Sweet Apple Acres as Chris stands there with Applejack and Applebloom.)

Applejack: Alright now, since you got my body, you gotta help us out here.
Chris: Right!

(Chris kicks the tree as all the apples fall down on top of him.)

Chris: Help! I'm lost in apples!

(Applejack actually chuckles a little and helps Chris out.)

Applejack: That was mighty respectable, but ya might wanna wait 'till some barrels are put under the next tree.
Chris: Oh yeah.

(Cut to Rarity and John at the Fashion boutique.)

John: Hey, what do you think of a bit of gold in this outfit right here?
Rarity: ... John dear, that's your magician's outfit... Brilliant!

(Rarity does so and tries it on for John.)

Rarity: Oh darling, you'll look ravishing in this once Doug and Twilight undo that spell.
John: Indeed. After all, there's nothing quite like getting in touch with one's feminine side.

(Cut to Pinkie clearing the sky as it's a bright sunny day.)

Pinkie: Yay! Sunshine!
Rainbow Dash: Well... That's about it.
Pinkie: Aw.

(Cut to Fluttershy's place as Rob looks out the window as Fluttershy comes up.)

Fluttershy: Um, Rob are you-
Rob: Alright, I confess! I did it!
Fluttershy: Um... Did what?
Rob: I convinced Doug to go to the library at one in the morning! I convinced Doug to look through the book! I convinced Doug to read the page with the worn away title! I'm the reason we're all switched around! Oh please, just make the guilt stop!
Fluttershy: Oh my. Well Rob, I think you're gonna have to explain to Twilight and assure Doug that it wasn't his fault.
Rob: Right!

(They arrive.)

Rob: Okay Twilight, it was my fault we were here and Doug read the spell! Doug's just so kind and a good friend that he blames himself!
Twilight: Yeah, that makes more sense.

(The book glows.)

Twilight: Hey what the-? The counter spell! It just appeared in the book!

(Twilight reads it, and they all return to normal and rush into the library to say.)

Rarity: Oh thank goodness! We're all back to our proper selves! I was afraid I'd have to start wearing... Oh, I can't even bring myself to say it.
Doug: Shorts?
Rarity: Shut it!
Doug: Sorry.
Rob: Whoo! We're back to normal! ... Also, I'm sorry everypony. This whole mess was my fault. I guess I was just a little too wrapped up in getting home, and not wrapped up enough in how all of you were so hospitable. I promise I'll never try another short cut again.
Twilight: Oh, here's a portal spell. Oh, and it's so easy! We can send you boys home right away! ... And say good-bye to each other.

(Everyone looks down as Pinkie cries.)

Chris: Oh no, Pinkie! Don't cry! 'Cause that'll just make me... I DON'T WANNA GO!
Doug: Um... Well I guess this is it. Thanks for everything everypony.
Applebloom: Does this mean you won't be tellin' our class anymore stories?
Doug: Probably, but hey, the best thing about stories is sharing them, like I did with you.
Rob: Girls, I just wanna say... Well thanks. You really are the best mares I ever met.
Rarity (smiling): Why Rob, I thought we were too girly for you.
Rob: ... Well... Maybe I was wrong. It's still weird as heck here, but it's that good weird.

(Twilight opens the portal as Doug, Rob, and Chris leave.)

Scootaloo: Well, I guess that's it. We won't have any more fun with the guys.
Celestia: Oh really?

(She, Luna, and Amalthea arrive.)

Amalthea: Twilight Sparkle, why did you think one of the criteria for your search was "simpler"?
Twilight: Girls, I just realized something!

(Cut to the three at Doug's apartment as they look around. They're all human again with their Cutie Marks moving to their ankles.)

Doug: Whoa guys, check the date and time. It's the same day we left, only twenty minutes later to be exact.
Chris: Oh cool, so it's like we never left.
Rob: Yeah. I'm gonna check my messages on your computer, Doug.
Doug: Sure.

(The buzzer goes off.)

Doug: Come on up.

(The door opens as everyone but Pinkie is there in their human form.)

Doug: Hey! What are you doing here?!
Rainbow Dash: Well the key word is "simpler portal spell". We can all hang out in both places together now!
Doug: Whoo-hoo!
Twilight: And Queen Amalthea gave us a side mission. To discover what's left of this world's magic... If we come across any.
Chris: Nice! ... Hey where's Pinkie?

(Cut to Rob watching the first episode of My Little Pony.)

Pinkie (statically): When I was a little filly
And the sun was going down...
Rob: Oh Pinkie, if you could get back here with the others, I'd laugh at ghosts too.

(Pinkie pops her head out of the computer.)

Pinkie: Hi!
Rob: AH!

(Rob falls over as Pinkie comes out, turning human.)

Pinkie: Are you okay, Rob?
Rob: Yeah, just caught me by surprise.

(Cut to Doug calling his aunt and uncle.)

Doug: Hey Aunt Linda, I just got accepted in this new school. Part of the curriculum involves a lot of traveling, at the school's expense, so you probably won't hear from me that much, but I'll check in on you guys whenever I'm in the neighborhood. Okay. Love you and Uncle Al too Aunt Linda. Good-bye.

(Rob and Chris just finish doing the same thing.)

John: Well you lot, up for a little trip to a fine fast food restaurant on me?
Rarity: What do they have?
Doug: There's a KFC a thirty minute's walk away.
Applejack: Y'all eat chicken?
Doug: Well we can find somewhere a bit more vegetarian, but for humans, it's a bit more of what kinda stuff we prefer to eat.
Applejack: Well, I guess we can try it out.

(They head off.)

The End.
