My Little Pony Rewatch Project
Deconstruction is Magic
“Spike, I just have to tell you how absolutely proud I am of you.”
“Proud of me?”
“Yes. It was you who stopped… w-well, you, from destroying Ponyville. You are my hero, Spikey-wikey!”
“I learned that no matter where you go in life, you should never forget that you are the product of your home and your friends. And that is something always to be proud of, no matter what.”
“A very valuable lesson to have learned.”
“Never fear, your friendly neighborhood Rainbow–”
“Excuse me, uh, do you think you could skip your catchphrase and just hurry up and save us?!”
“The falcon sure does look cool… He’s absolutely everything I wanted in a pet.”
“Yay?”
“But I did say that whoever crosses the finish line with me gets to be my pet.”
“You did! You did say that! She did say that, that was the rule!”
“And the only racer who crossed the finish line with me was the one who stopped to save me when I needed help. The tortoise!”
“Sweet! Heart’s Desire, huh?”
“Ay me, but what is this?
I’ve run out of Amethyst.
I must go get this purple flower
for my brew to have full power.”
“Yeah, you go, you go.”
*grin*
The Cutie Mark Crusaders want nothing more than to get their cutie marks. Apple Bloom, frustrated with waiting, takes a shortcut. It backfires.
“Bein’ sisters is like… apple pie. You can have amazin’ apples, and you can have a wonderfully crispy crust, but only together you can have a perfect apple pie.”
“But apart, all we are is just a pile of mush and some crumbly dry mess… I know what I need to do! I just hope it isn’t too late!”
“Enough chit-chat! Time is candy!”
“Pinkie Pie, aren’t you a little old for this?”
“Too old for free candy?! NEVER!“
“Is that everything on the checklist?”
“Yep!”
“Great. Now that we’ve completed the checklist of things we need to create a checklist, we can make my checklist of the things I have to get done by the end of the day. Ready?”
“Ready!”
“Item One: Create checklist of the things I have to accomplish by the end of the day.”
In which Twilight Sparkle tries to learn something new about friendship by solving a problem, but there are no problems in Ponyville. So she creates a problem to solve, which predictably produces additional problems.
“Necklace, necklace, necklace, necklace, and… big crown thingy! Come on, everypony, let’s go!”
“But Twilight, aren’t you missing somepony?”
“Nope: we’ve got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, and the brute. That just about covers it.”
“But what about Rainbow Dash?”
“Congratulations, Spike, you’re the new Rainbow Dash. Now let’s go!”
“Stop stalling, Discord! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony?”
“Oh, so boring, Celestia. Really? Fine, I’ll tell you, but I’ll only tell you my way. To retrieve your missing Elements, just make sense of this change of events. Twists and turns are my master plan. Then find the Elements back where you began.“
