My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Season 4

Episode 3: A New World Part 3

(It opens right after the last episode as they stare at the bear.)

John: Leave this to me. I'll use the old John Brown method.
Doug: What's that?

(John goes up to the bear.)

John: Good day to you sir. I see you're a fellow sailor. I used to sail with her majesty's navy for-
Bear: Stow it, mate!

(The bear knocks John aside as he shoves them all to a sign.)

Bear: Can't none of you read reading?!
Rarity: Okay, first of all, sir, it's "Can't any of you read writing?" If you're going to insult us, do it properly. Second, I resent your claim that we're all illiterate.
Bear: Duh... Anyway, it says "No Peopling allowed!"
Doug: Peopling? Is that even a word?
Bear: It means I gotta... Th-throw you all back!
Applebloom: Hey wait a minute! Anyone can see the King of Naboombu, and that's the law!
Bear: Where'd you hear that?
Applebloom: It's here in my book.

(Applebloom shows the bear the book.)

Bear: So it do.
Rarity: Does.
Rob: Rarity, the... Giant... Talking... Bear... Oh dear lord, I just said that out loud. Anyway, he's threatening to toss us into the ocean! Stop correcting his grammar!
Bear: Well if you people knew what was good for ya, ya'd get yourselves thrown back. The king don't like people!
Twilight: Well that's lucky, 'cause we're not actually people. We're ponies that are magically disguised as people.

(Rainbow Dash nods when her wings suddenly appear.)

Rainbow Dash: My wings! My beautiful wings!

(Rainbow Dash flies around.)

Rarity: Well why didn't you do that sooner?! Like when that Swigburn man was brandishing a knife!
Rainbow Dash: I didn't know I could.
Amalthea: The magic in this place is stronger than the rest of the world, so our strength with it is greater.
Fluttershy: Yeah, um, anyway, so could you take us to the king?
Bear: Well alright, but don't say I didn't warn ya.

(Cut to a tent bellowing in and out.)

King (pirate voice): GET OUT OF HERE!

(A tiger flies out and dusts himself off when he notices the bear.)

Tiger (Tony Jay-like): You, sailor, what are these people, doing on Naboombu?
Bear: They appeared on the beach and wanna see the king, and four of 'em have wings like hawks.

(The tiger observes Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Fluttershy, and Twilight's wings.)

Tiger: Indeed. However, the king is in no mood to play diplomat, so just throw them into the sea as usual.
Bear: Aye-aye, sir.
John: Whoa, wait! As a performer, I'm not without talents. Perhaps I could cheer him up in return for us staying long enough to just build a boat and leave like that?
Tiger: A good bargain, but I'm afraid his majesty is not simply in a foul mood. You see, his majesty fancies himself as the world's greatest football player, however, due to an... Accident with our referee, the Royal Cup Match cannot take place today. Now...
John: Wait, I can still help. I can referee.
Tiger: Indeed?
John: Yes sir. I was captain of my college team in 2012.
Tiger: Well, I'll see if he'll at least humor the idea.

(He goes in.)

King: NOW WHAT?!

(He listens and actually begins laughing before coming out. He's a lion with a crown and the Star of Asteroth around his neck.)

King: Har-har, can't tell ye how much I appreciate this offer, boyo. For some reason, we have difficulty keeping referees for more than a game or two. If there be one thing we like, it's volunteers. Eh, Khan?
Khan: Yes.
John: Well, let's get that game ready, your highness.

(John walks off with the two.)

Rarity: You know I've got to admit that in many respects, John Brown is a pretty brave man.
Applebloom: Yeah, and what's a football game?
Chris: Oh it's-
Doug: From the way they're talking, it's a game that's also called Soccer. The goal is to kick the ball into the opponents net.
Applebloom: Oh...
Discord: Plus, the sly old dog is in a position to grab the Star off the king without him realizing it.
Pinkie: Hooray!

(Cut to just before the game as John looks at the star.)

John: What a magnificent ornament, sire.
King: Aye. Wouldn't be without it. Been in the family for generations.

(Cut to the stands as Khan leads the gang to a large box.)

Khan: The King has given you permission to sit in his royal box, do try not to make a mess of it.
Applejack: Uh... Alright.

(Cut to the field as the game commences. The King's team is made of carnivorous animals while the other team is made of herbivores.)

John: Right then, let's have a nice clean game.

(He blows the whistle, and all at once, everyone tramples him to get the ball.)

Fluttershy: Oh my, that can't have felt good.

(Eventually, the ball goes to an ostrich that continually kicks it around.)

Scootaloo: Hurry up and get rid of it, you idiot!

(They trample the bird.)

Chris: Oh, well you did tell him so.

(Eventually, the ball lands on a rhino's horn, popping and blowing all over the place.)

King: STOP THAT BALL!

(The king's bellow sends everyone into the herbivore's goal, as the King sees the ball and blows it in as well.)

King: Har-har. Game's over. I win.
John (exhausted): Okay...

(Cut to later as John gets his jacket back on.)

John: Oh, your highness let me help you into your robe.
King: Why thank you.
John: So, you ever heard of something called the Gypsy Switch?
King: Why no.

(The king turns around the reveal John's referee whistle.)

King: Can't say that I have.
John: Remind me to tell you about it, sometime.

(John holds his hand behind his back to reveal the Star.)

John: I can't tell you how pleased I was to make your acquaintance.
Twilight: Yeah, sir, but I think we better get going back home.
King: Aye. You're a friendly lot, and I don't mind ye visiting, but I wouldn't want ye living here.
Rarity: Quite right, sire. Well, bye.

(They head off as Khan notices the whistle.)

Khan: Sir, would you mind if I pointed something out.
King: What?
Khan: It appears that Mr. Brown has stolen your Star and replaced it with a whistle.

(The King looks and roars as he rushes after them. Cut to the others as they get to the beach.)

Twilight: We have it. The star! Now we just need to figure out the spell, and we can get home!
Doug: Let's practice this thing in my place. It'll be safe enough there.

(The King charges.)

Sweetie Belle: AH! What do we do?!
Doug: I've got an idea! Twilight, you still got that book?!
Twilight: Yeah.
Doug: Give the first half to me!

(Twilight does so as Doug skims through a few pages.)

Doug: Got it! (To the King) Filigree apogee pedigree pillogee!

(The King turns into a rabbit.)

Doug: Holy cow, it worked. I was totally winging it... Uh... We might wanna leave before that spell wears off.
Twilight: Right.

(They teleport back to Doug's apartment.)

Twilight: Okay, now the Star.

(Doug tosses it to her as she reads it.)

Twilight: Perfect! Okay, I need some shoes.

(Doug puts down some work shoes.)

Twilight: Okay, here goes. Treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee.

(Nothing happens.)

Sweetie Belle: Nothing happened!
Twilight: Hm, could I be doing something wrong?
Doug: Well maybe you could jazz it up a little. Like what John said back in London. "Do it with a flair".
Rob (groaning): That means do it as a song doesn't it?
Doug: Yup, now come on guys, we need all the help we can get.
Everyone (chanting): Treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee.
Treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee.
Twilight: Substitutiary Locomotion!
Mystic Power that's far beyond the wildest notion!
It's so weird! So feared! And yet wonderful to see!
Substitutiary Locomotion come to me!
Doug: Shh! Now.
Twilight: Treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee.

(The shoes begin moving on their own.)

Applebloom: Cool!

(Everyone joins in the shoes dance as it's joined by Doug's other shoes, and his jacket. And a woman's gown, which begins dancing with John.)

Rarity: That's the gown I bought in London!
John: Really? It dances divinely.
Twilight: Okay, this is seriously out of control!
Applejack: Well what are we supposed to do about it?!
Doug: Maybe the book has an All Purpose Cut-Off Spell. I hear about that sort of thing in loads of fantasies and the like.

(Twilight goes and finds the spell.)

Twilight: Got it. Finite Incantatum!

(The objects stop moving.)

Twilight: Phew. Okay, practice time.

(Cut to an hour or so later as Twilight's finally mastered the spell.)

Twilight: Phew. Now we can go back home and... And say good-bye to you guys.
Rob: Well, it was pretty fun, though it felt like I was stuck in a 60s Disney Movie.
Pinkie: Oh... Oh...

(Pinkie hugs the four good-bye as she cries.)

Chris: Oh, Pinkie, don't cry! 'Cause that'll make me- WHAHH!
Rob: Air! Need Air!

(Doug manages to get her off.)

Twilight: Hey you guys... Thanks.
Doug: Anytime.
Fluttershy: Rob, I just wanted to thank you for going along with all this. I know you didn't really believe it until we got to that zoo.
Rob: Hey, it was nothing.
Applejack: Well, so long, partners.
Chris (squeaky): Yeah.

(The girls open the portal and are about to go through when Discord smirks and snaps his fingers as the boys are flung through as well. Cut to Equestria as everyone arrives. The girls and Discord are back to normal as the boys now look like Ponies. Doug's a white Alicorn with a black mane. Rob is a green and scaly Pegasus with dragon forelegs with a brown mane. Chris is a red pony with a sandy brown mane. John is a black unicorn with a brown mane.)

Rob: What the-?! What just happened?!
Discord: Oh, I figured I'd follow that old proverb. "One should never break up a winning team."
Rob: You jerk!

(Rob's about to charge when Discord snaps his fingers and disappears.)

Doug: Hey, look.

(Everyone turns to see a winged version of Amalthea's unicorn form as Luna and Celestia get a good look at her.)

Celestia & Luna: Mother?
Amalthea: My little foals, you do not know how long I have prayed for this day.

(The family reunites.)

Doug: Aw, cute!
Chris: Yeah.
Applejack: Uh, maybe we should focus on the Changelings that are supposed to be coming!
Twilight: Oh, right! Treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee.

(All the unused suits of armor come to life and go to the guards, just as the Changelings arrive.)

Doug: Whoo! This is gonna be awesome!
Rainbow Dash: Yeah! We finally get to do some butt kicking!

(They all head off, except Fluttershy, who stays a little back.)

Fluttershy: Oh my.

(She nervously goes forward as the suits of armor assist the soldiers and the gang, not being tricked by the Changelings' disguises until they're stopped. After that, Amalthea, Celestia, and Luna fly down.)

Amalthea: Well done. All of you.
Rob: Yeah, yeah, now about getting us back home!
Celestia: We cannot do that. It takes too much time and energy to do it again.
Luna: In other words, you're stuck.
Amalthea: I think I shall make my first royal degree in a long while. I, Queen Amalthea, do hereby charge Princess Twilight Sparkle with the task of researching the book known as the Spells of Asteroth until a new and simpler method of portal spells can be found. Also, Douglas Halbeisen, Robert Bugie, Christopher Mccool, and Jonathan Brown shall serve as Twilight's bodyguards, in addition to the book, staying in Ponyville during the interval.
Doug: Whoo! We get to spend time in a magical land!
Rob: Oh jeez, it's so girly, I'm gonna throw up!
Chris: No way! This is awesome!
John: I say, it makes no difference to me, but I do fancy the idea of seeing what this world has to offer.
Pinkie: YAY!

(Cut to Ponyville as they arrive at an old building.)

Applejack: This here building hasn't been used in years, but it should make a good home for y'all after we fix it up.

(Spike comes up and waves.)

Spike: Guys!

(He stops at Rob.)

Spike: Who are you?
Rob: My name's Rob. I'm a temporary resident.
Spike: Cool! It's like having a brother!
Rob: ... Eh. I can see that.

(Everyone gets to work on the building.)

The End.
