TEXT: "Elements of Harmony: See 'Mare in the Moon'?" But that's just an old ponies' tale. Twilight: "...She will bring about nighttime eternal!" It's imperative that the princess is told right away. (Spike burps) Twilight: I knew she would want to take immediate action. Spike: (reading) "My dear Twilight, there's more to a young pony's life than studying. Make some friends." (Pinkie Pie gasps) Twilight: All the ponies in this town are CRAZY! I hope the princess was right... Rarity: She's GONE! Twilight: Oh no...Nightmare Moon! (evil laughter, peals of thunder) (theme song begins) My Little Pony, My Little Pony, ah, ah, ah, ah, (My Little Pony) Twilight: I used to wonder what friendship could be (My Little Pony) Until you all shared its magic with me Rainbow Dash: Big adventure Pinkie Pie: Tons of fun Rarity: A beautiful heart Applejack: Faithful and strong Fluttershy: Sharing kindness Twilight: It's an easy feat All: And magic makes it all complete, yeah (My Little Pony) Do you know, you're all my very best friends (evil laughter, peals of thunder) Seize her! Only she knows where the princess is! Stand back, you foals! (evil laughter, peals of thunder) Rainbow Dash: Come back here! Nighttime? Forever? (Spike groans sleepily) We gotta stop Nightmare! You've been up all night, Spike. You are a BABY dragon, after all. (crash) Twilight: Elements, Elements, Elements...Ugh! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?! And just what ARE the Elements of Harmony? And how did YOU know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy?! Rainbow Dash: Whoa! Applejack: Simmer down, Sally. She ain't no spy. But she sure knows
SUMMARY:
After Nightmare Moon decrees eternal night, Twilight and her new friends venture deep into the Everfree Forest to find the Elements of Harmony, a set of artifacts used to defeat Nightmare Moon in the past. Nightmare Moon creates obstacles to stop the six ponies, but each of Twilight's friends helps the group overcome them using her own strengths. Once they find the Elements, Nightmare Moon appears and shatters them. Twilight realizes that she and her new friends embody the six Elements - Honesty (Applejack), Kindness (Fluttershy), Laughter (Pinkie Pie), Generosity (Rarity), Loyalty (Rainbow Dash) and Magic (herself) - and the six wield them to defeat Nightmare Moon, returning her to her original form as Princess Celestia's younger sister, Princess Luna. Princess Celestia returns, forgives Luna and allows Twilight to stay in Ponyville in order to continue studying the magic of friendship.
