[crickets]

Garble: [snore]

Sunset Shimmer: [gasp] Garble, wake up. Wake up, wake up, it's Winter Wrap Up day!

Garble: Huh? Mommy?

Sunset Shimmer: Winter Wrap Up!

Garble: You're not mommy.

Sunset Shimmer: Garble, the first day of spring is tomorrow, so everypony in Ponyville needs to clean up winter. Now help me get ready.

Garble: Clean up winter? Who cleans up winter? Don't they just use magic to change the seasons like they do in Canterlot?

Sunset Shimmer: No Garble, Ponyville was started by Earth ponies, so for hundreds of years they've never used magic to clean up winter. It's traditional. [sigh]

Garble: It's ridiculous. No magic... Fuh.

Sunset Shimmer: Okay, let's see: scarf, check; saddle, check; boots, check; Spike refusing to get up and going back to sleep, check. It's a good thing I'm so organized, I'm ready. Bright and early. Oh... maybe a little too early.

[theme song]

Sunset Shimmer: Those must be the team vests Sunny Flare designed. Blue for the weather team, green for the plant team, and tan for the animal team. I wonder which team vest I'll be wearing.

Garble: I'll take a blue vest, same color as my blankie, which I think I hear calling my name. "Garble! Garble! Come to bed!" Ugh, it's too early.

Mayor Mare: Thank you, everypony, for being here bright and early. We need every single pony's help to wrap up winter, and bring in spring.

[ponies cheer]

Mayor Mare: Now, all of you have your vests, and have been assigned to your teams, so let's do even better than last year, and have the quickest Winter Wrap Up ever!

[ponies cheer]

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, this is so exciting.

Mayor Mare: All right everypony, find your team leader, and let's get galloping!

Sugarcoat: All hands on the deck! Winter Wrap Up's beginnin'!

Sunset Shimmer: Oh gosh, where should I go? I'm not sure where I fit in. What exactly does everypony do?

Sugarcoat: Quit joshin', mateys!

[Indigo Zap]

Three months of winter coolness

And awesome holidays

[Lemon Zest]

We've kept our hoovsies warm at home

Time off from work to play

[Sugarcoat]

Yo-ho-ho-ho

Row, row, row

We the pirates of Winter Wrap Up we will go

The food we've stored is runnin' out

And we can't grow in this cold

[Sunny Flare]

And even though I love my boots

This fashion's getting old

[Sunset Shimmer]

The time has come to welcome spring

And all things warm and green

But it's also time to say goodbye

It's winter we must clean

How can I help? I'm new, you see

What does everypony do?

How do I fit in without magic?

I haven't got a clue!

[Choir]

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Let's finish our holiday cheer

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

[Sugarcoat]

'Cause tomorrow spring–

[Indigo Zap]

–is here!

[Choir]

'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

[Indigo Zap]

Bringing home the southern birds

A Pegasus' job begins

And clearing all the gloomy skies

To let the sunshine in

We move the clouds

And we melt the white snow

[Indigo Zap and Lemon Zest]

When the sun comes up

Its warmth and beauty will glow!

[Choir]

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Let's finish our holiday cheer

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

[Sunny Flare]

Little critters hibernate

Under the snow and ice

[Sour Sweet]

We wake up all their sleepy heads

So quietly and nice

[Sunny Flare]

We help them gather up their food

Fix their homes below

[Sour Sweet]

We welcome back the southern birds

[Sour Sweet and Sunny Flare]

So their families can grow!

[Choir]

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! ([Rarity] Winter, winter)

Let's finish our holiday cheer

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! ([Rarity] Winter, winter)

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! ([Rarity] Winter, winter)

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

[Sugarcoat]

No easy task to clear the ground

Plant our tiny seeds

With proper care and sunshine

Everyone it feeds

Apples, carrots, celery stalks

Colorful flowers too

We must work so very hard

[Sugarcoat, Cherry Berry, and Golden Harvest]

It's just so much to do!

[Choir]

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Let's finish our holiday cheer

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

[Lemon Zest]

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

[Choir]

'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

[Sunset Shimmer]

Now that I know what they all do

I have to find my place

And help with all of my heart

Tough task ahead I face

How will I do without my magic

Help the Earth pony way

I wanna belong so I must

Do my best today,

Do my best today!

[Choir]

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Let's finish our holiday cheer

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

[Sunset Shimmer]

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

Sunset Shimmer: Everypony belongs to a team. What should I do? Where should I go?

Indigo Zap: All right team, you're clear for takeoff.

Sunset Shimmer: Indigo Zap!

Indigo Zap: Oh, hey Sunset, what's up?

Sunset Shimmer: What are you doing?

Indigo Zap: Sending off one of my flight crews to retrieve the birds that have flown south for the winter.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, can I help? How about if I help clear out the clouds?

Indigo Zap: Um...

Sunset Shimmer: Right. No wings.

Indigo Zap: Sorry, Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer: [gasp] Great, now what do we do?

Garble: I don't know about you, but I'm gonna be nappin'. [snore]

Sunset Shimmer: Come on Garble, this is serious business. Winter needs to be wrapped up, and I'm determined to do my part. Somehow.

Sunset Shimmer: Sunny, please tell me there's something, anything I can help you with.

Sunny Flare: Well, how would you like to help create Ponyville's finest birds' nests?

Sunset Shimmer: Birds' nests?

Sunny Flare: Why yes. When the weather team guides the birds back north for the spring, they'll need a place to live and lay their eggs.

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, Sunny, that one's really beautiful.

Sunny Flare: Oh why, thank you most sincerely. Would you like to try your hoof at a nest?

Sunset Shimmer: Would I? Yes! Where do I begin?

Sunny Flare: Okay. Now... uh, take some of that straw and hay over there, and a little bit of branch. Now, weave them through there, yes. Uh, take some ribbon, yes, oh uh, n... not there, oooh, yes, uh, tuck it in over there, uh but be careful not to... I don't know I guess that would do... oh dear.

Sunset Shimmer: There! It looks just like... yours. Oh my.

Garble: That nest needs to be condemned.

Sunny Flare: Oh, Ga-ha-rble, it's not so bad, ah, maybe birds can use it as a...

Garble: An outhouse?

Sunny Flare: Garble. It's just fine. It's just a little rough around the edges. Let me lend you a hoof. Let's just untie this ribbon, and let me take out these sticks here, we'll shave this... [mumbling]

Sunset Shimmer: Hw...

Garble: I think we lost her.

Sunset Shimmer: Ah, and we need to weave the string...

Lemon Zest: Hellooooooo, Sunset! Wheeeeeeee!

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, Lemon Zest, you're quite the skater. Probably the best skater I've ever seen.

Lemon Zest: Hahaha! Thanks Sunset, I've been doing this since I was an itty-bitty little-wittle Twinkie-Lemon. Just comes natural. Which is probably why they designated me the lake scorer. I cut lines in the lakes with my skates. That way, when the rest of the weather team comes here to break the ice, it'll be easy as pie.

Sunset Shimmer: How clever. When the thick ice begins to melt, it'll break along the lines. Well, you sure have a lot of work ahead of you, there's quite a few lakes in Ponyville.

Lemon Zest: Ha, tell me about it. Hey, Twilight, wanna help me out?

Sunset Shimmer: Would I?

Lemon Zest: Come on, put on those skates over there. I bet you'll be a natural too.

Sunset Shimmer: Okay.

Lemon Zest: Yaaaaay! [cheers]

Sunset Shimmer: Uh... maybe on second thought.

Garble: What are you talking about? You said you wanted to be helpful.

Lemon Zest: Yippie!

Garble: Now get out there.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh no, whoa, wow...

Lemon Zest: Sunset, steer! Steer! Beat the chill! Enjoy the thrill!

Sunset Shimmer: Yaaaaa!

Lemon Zest: Oh boy...

[screams]

Garble: Pwuh.

Lemon Zest: [blips]

Garble: Ha ha, you are a natural, Sunset. A natural disaster. [laughter]

Lemon Zest: Sunset, you did a great job your first time around. I'm sure my first time was just as wobbly and bobbly and crasheriffic as yours.

Sunset Shimmer: Really?

Lemon Zest: No.

Garble: [chuckles]

Lemon Zest: But did I make you feel better?

Sunset Shimmer: Mm-hmm, yeah, I guess.

Lemon Zest: I think you'll be super awesome at something that keeps your hooves on the ground. I know, Sour Sweet could probably use your help with the critters.

Sunset Shimmer: Well... I'm pretty good with little animals. Yeah, I'll go help her.

Lemon Zest: Uh... it's, ah, that a-way.

Sunset Shimmer: Yaaaaaa!

Garble: [chuckles]

Sour Sweet: Wake up, little sleepy heads. Hope you had some wonderful dreams and restful hibernation, but it's time to get up now, spring is coming.

Hedgehogs: [yawn]

Sunset Shimmer: Awww, how cute.

Sour Sweet: Aren't they? This is my other favorite task the whole season, when I get to see all my little animal friends again.

Garble: Uh, what's "hibernation"?

Sour Sweet: It's like a long sleep.

Garble: Long sleep?

Sour Sweet: Yes. [bell rings] Wake up, little porcupines. Animals often hibernate through the winter to save their energy and eat less food.

Garble: I definitely like the idea of hibernation, uh, except for the "eat less food" part.

Porcupines: [yawn] [yelp]

Sour Sweet: Oh, would you just look at all these warrens and dens? I'm worried that I won't be able to wake up every animal before spring comes.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, I'll help, Sour Sweet.

Sour Sweet: You will? Oh, that would be wonderful.

Sunset Shimmer: Okay, let's start there.

[bell rings]

Sunset Shimmer: Hello? Wake up little friends, wherever you are. Spring is coming. [bell rings] I wonder which cute little furry creatures I've awoken.

Snakes: [hiss]

Sunset Shimmer: What in Luna's name?! Waaa! Snakes! Snakes! [scream] Ugh! [grunt] [scream] Ugh!

Sour Sweet: Good morning, friends.

Sunset Shimmer: [groan]

Sunset Shimmer: [sigh] All this Winter Wrap Up stuff is a lot harder than it looks.

Garble: [nasally] Right, because there's no magic. Why don't you just use magic, Twilight, and get it done the right way?

Sunset Shimmer: No, Garble, I have to do it the traditional way. Ponyville has never needed magic to wrap up winter.

Garble: [nasally] Well, they never had you here before, either. Think how much quicker they could wrap up winter with your magic.

Sunset Shimmer: No, no, no! I'm gonna find some other way that I can help out if it kills me. [grunt]

Sugarcoat: Fire the cannons! Keep pushin', Jolly. That's it, Roger. I know it's hard work, but you guys are doin' great. Yee-haw!

Sunset Shimmer: Hey, Sugarcoat. How's everything going?

Sugarcoat: Oh, just dandy. A little slow startin', but peachy all the same. There's a lot of ground to clear, ya hear? We can't even start the plantin' and the waterin' until we git all these heap a' snow hightailed outta here.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, I'd like to help.

Sugarcoat: Well, I... I dunno Twilight.

Sunset Shimmer: Just give me a chance.

Sugarcoat: Well, I never turn down a hard worker, but...

Sunser Shimmer: [struggle] Ugh... [struggle] Ugh... [gasp]

Garble: Think of how much quicker they could wrap up winter with your magic.

Sunset Shimmer: I could use a come-to-life spell. Hwww... Here goes...

Sugarcoat: Hmm. She's awful strong for such a little pony.

Garble: That's my girl, following my advice.

Sugarcoat: And what in tarnation does that mean?

Sunset Shimmer: [gasp] Uh-oh. Slow down. Slow down!

Garble: [yelp]

Garble and Sugarcoat: Whoa-oa-oa!

Sugarcoat: What's going on? Wha'd'ya do? You used magic, didn't you?

Sugarcoat: Nuts, Sunset, you used magic.

Garble: The nerve. Can you believe her?

Sugarcoat: You putrid bilge rat! Arrgh! That's not how we do it 'round here, Sunset, and especially not on MY FARM! Shiver me timbers, matey! It's to be good fer me to dig on yer grave!

Sunset Shimmer: Well, see, I just wanted to... [whine]

Garble: Come on, Sunset. Come on out.

Sunset Shimmer: I'm a winter mess up.

Garble: Well you're good at a lot of things, just not nest-making, ice-skating, animal-waking, snow-clearing.

Sunset Shimmer: [whine] Thanks a lot for making me feel so much better.

Garble: That's what I'm here for, sister.

Sugarcoat: Indigo Zap y'all on the weather team need to melt the rest of the snow here on the ground and the trees, pronto.

Indigo Zap: Got it.

Sour Sweet: Wait. My poor little animals' homes will get flooded if the snow melts too fast.

Indigo Zap: Got it.

Sugarcoat: I'm tellin' you, Rainbow, you gotta melt that snow now.

Sour Sweet: No, you simply must wait.

Indigo Zap: Okay.

Sugarcoat: Go.

Sour Sweet: Stop.

Sugarcoat: Go.

Sour Sweet: Stop.

Sugarcoat: GO!

Sour Sweet: AVAST YE!

Sugarcoat: I be sendin' ye to th' brig!

Sour Sweet: Don't be ridiculous!

Indigo Zap: Ugh! Make up your minds, ruffians!

Mayor Mare: Oh! What in Equestria are all you arguing about? This sort of silliness is why we were late for spring last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.

Sunset Shimmer: Did she say late?

Mayor Mare: I was hoping my amazingly inspirational speech would urge everyone to do better than last year, but now it looks like we're going to be later than ever. I mean just look at this catastrophe. The ice scorers made the ice chunks too big to melt. The nest designer is horrendously behind, we need several hundred, and she's only made one.

Sunny Flare: [sob]

Mayor Mare: And don't get me started on all the clouds in the sky, the icicles on the trees... This isn't good, not at all!

Sugarcoat: And it's gonna be all to pieces disastrous if we can't get our seeds all planted.

Indigo Zap: Chillax Sugarcoat, we're bustin' our chops as fast as we can.

Sour Sweet: No, not fast, we have to wake animals slowly.

Pokey Pierce: Uh, Sugar?

Sugarcoat: Oh good gravy, Jolly lost the grass seeds again, didn't he?

Pokey Pierce: Argh!

Rainbowshine: [grunt] Ditzy Doo accidentally went north to get the southern birds!

Indigo Zap: Oh that featherbrain. Didn't she learn her lesson last year when she went west?

[ponies grumble and complain]

Mayor Mare: Stop this at once. We don't have time to argue. It's almost sundown. Spring is going to be late again. Another year of scandal and shame. If only we could be more organized.

Sunset Shimmer: Garble! Get my checklist and clipboard, STAT!

Garble: Eh, yes, ma'am.

Sunset Shimmer: Stop, everypony!

[ponies argue]

Sunset Shimmer: Stop!

[bird chirps]

Sunset Shimmer: Sorry. I know you all want to complete your jobs on time, but arguing is no way to go about it. What you need is organization, and I'm just the pony for the job.

[Winter Wrap Up instrumental]

Mayor Mare: I can't believe it. Spring is here! On time! And we have you to thank for it. If it weren't for your organizing skills we would still be arguing.

Pokey Pierce: Argh.

[laughter]

Sunset Shimmer: It was a team effort.

Mayor Mare: And since you helped every team, we have an official vest for you. We give you the title, "All-Team Organizer".

Sunset Shimmer: Gosh, I don't even know what to say. Thank you, everypony.

Mayor Mare: And hereby I declare that winter is... wrapped up on time.

[cheers]

Sugarcoat: Garble's sure gonna be in for a hog-sized surprised when that last piece a' ice melts.

[laughter]

Sunset Shimmer: Dear Princess Luna,

Winter Wrap Up was one of the most special things I've ever been a part of here in Ponyville. It helped me to learn we all have hidden talents, and if we're patient and diligent, we're sure to find them, and as always, with good friendship and teamwork, ponies can accomplish anything. How's that, Garble? Garble?

Garble: [snore]

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, Garble. [laughter]
