Resume: One day after school, Twilight gets a strange text message from Timber Spruce comprised entirely of emoticons. Unable to decipher the text, she turns to one of her friends to help translate it.

In front lawn of Canterlot High as the bell rings. It is daytime, and a quick zoom in on the clock atop the library’s domed roof puts the time at 3:00—the end of the school day. Cut to the Rainbooms going their separate ways in a hallway, then to just outside the front doors as Pinkie Pie throws them open.

“How cool is chemistry class?” Pinkie said happily as bounds down to Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer at the bottom of the steps. “I can’t believe I got to come up with my very own chemical formula.” Pulling two green-iced cupcakes from her hair. “Jalapeño supernova cupcake frosting!”

As she takes a lick from one, Twilight’s cell phone beeps and vibrates to indicate an incoming text message. She glances at the screen with visible puzzlement as Sunset offers Pinkie a humoring smile.

“That wasn’t the assignment.” Sunset said.

Pinkie has now eaten the one she licked.

“Aw, you sound just like my lab partners.” She waves, addresses herself o.s. “COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU GUYS!”

Pan quickly to “you guys”—Snips and Snails, staggering dazedly across the lawn. Both are liberally besmirched with the same green icing, and Snips is wearing a pair of safety goggles. They stop for a moment to gawk at her, ignoring the incredulous stares coming at them from all directions, and then resume their shamble off to who knows where.

“I just got the weirdest text from Timber Spruce.”

Fluttershy, Rarity, and Sunset cluster in for a look; close-up of the phone. The display is headed by an icon of the green-haired teen’s face, below which the following string of graphics can be seen.

Rarity from o.s. “Pirate, plane, alligator, thumbs-up, waterfall, golf club, ice cream sundae.”

Cut to her and the other two spectators on the end of this, then to Twilight.

“What does it mean? Is it an inside joke?” She adjustes her glasses. “A hieroglyphic reference? A secret code?” She groans out her frustration while clapping both hands to her temples, phone and all. “My brain feels weird! I’m not used to not knowing things!”

“Hmm. Sounds like you could use a translator.” Rarity said as offers Twilight a help.

“I could help.” Fluttershy offers too.

“Leave this one to me.” Sunset offers too and touches Fluttershy’s shoulder.

“Who can get me out of this text-astrophe?” Twilight wonders.

Snap to Twilight and Fluttershy walking through a patch of woods behind the school completely barefooted and naked with a hair down; Twilight was left her dark purple star hair scrunchie, her new glasses, her blue blouse with short sleeves, her dark pink vest with a matching bow tie, her purple belt with a white buckle, her purple skirt with slightly lighter purple stars, her pony counterpart's cutie mark, her lighter purple frill at the hem, her sky-blue underwear, her sky-blue knee-high socks and her purple Mary Jane shoes with a belt and a decorative badge on her purple backpack and Fluttershy was left her green butterfly hairclip, her white tank top, her lime green skirt with her pony counterpart's cutie mark and a pink hem on the bottom, her pink underwear, her pink socks with white polka-dots and her lime green boots with white trim on the bottom as well on her pink backpack, and leaves them behind and hidded at the tree to no one find it; small critters hurry back and forth across ground and air.

“So what are you thinking, Fluttershy?” Naked Twilight.

“I’d start with…” Naked Fluttershy said as a bird flits down to perch on her finger. “…a bird.”

“Sounds good!” It flies away; Fluttershy sits her bare butt on a log.

“Then iguana, guinea pig, regular pig, frog, baby chick in the egg, baby chick out of the egg, all three “see no evil” monkeys, cat, cat, cat, cat, all the cats, and, um…” She rapids fire, during this bit of very strange dictation, the camera cuts back and forth between her and Twilight, who is having a great deal of trouble keeping up with the lot and/or making head or tail of it. Fluttershy has barely petered out when a squirrel hops up next to her and offers a chittered suggestion. “…finish it with a squirrel on his hind legs.”

“Sounds good!” Twilight taps screen. “Sent. That was perfect!” She sits next to Fluttershy. “So what did we just send?”

“A bunch of cute animal emojis!”

Most of the air goes out of Twilight at this pronouncement and the soft giggle that follows it, to be replaced by supremely annoyed frustration.

“But what does it meeeean?!?” Twilight confusses.

The spooked little rodent jumps into Fluttershy’s lap just before the phone sounds off. Both naked girls run a quizzical eye over the screen and smile at what they see, Twilight gasping, blushes and the squirrel jumping down to run off.

“He says yes to the zoo! And he said that i can go fully clothed or fully naked with or without my glasses!” She said confused as she keeps seeing the message with her blinded eyes. “The zoo?” Pauses; it sinks in. “Ohhhhh! The zoo!” Hugs Fluttershy. “Thank you, Fluttershy!”

“No matter what the problem is, adorable animals are always the answer.” Fluttershy hugs her back.
