Hear ye! Hear ye!
The Ponyville Foal and Filly Fair is almost ready to begin!
Just because the attendees are young
doesn't mean they don't deserve my very best creative work.
Why, this puppet theatre is going to be the talk of the Foal and Filly Fair!
How could it not be? You're the one making it.
But I couldn't have made it without the help of one of my dearest and most supportive friends!
You are my favorite dragon!
Your favourite dragon?
Oh gee.
The hours have been long, the work taxing beyond compare.
But it'll all be worth it when we hear these three little words…
This is awful!
Awful?
And completely unusable.
It doesn't travel!
And no room for my puppets!
It appears I won't have a travelling puppet theater to use after all.
I don't know what that guy was talking about.
This thing is perfect.
This is terrible! Simply terrible!
So that puppeteer didn't like your exquisitely crafted best puppet theater in a history of puppeteers and puppet theater.
You can just contribute something else to the Foal and Filly Fair.
I suppose I could.
Forget it, Spike.
I'll never have something finished in time.
I wanted to leave my creative mark on the fair, and I failed.
Miserably.
And that makes me miserable!
There's gotta be something in here somewhere.
It's not who, it's what!
Like what can help Rarity make something in time for the fair.
She really really really wants to make a creative contribution!
She said I'm her favorite dragon!
So it's up to me to come through for her in her time of need!
There's gotta be some kind of spell that'll do the trick.
Come on, help the dragon out!
It's not for me, it's for Rarity!
The one who made you that bowtie you like so much.
Okay, I get it.
You don't think we should use magic.
What is that?
What?
If I wasn't supposed to have it, it wouldn't be so easy to get!
And it's covered in spikes! Like me!
Inspiration manifestation.
Instantly brings ideas to life.
I'm liking the looks of this one!
Rarity!
Leave me be!
Can't you see how distraught, disappointed and downtrodden I still am?
But I brought you something!
Unless it's another carton of vanilla oat swirl
or word that the festival has been cancelled,
I don't think I'm interested!
It's magic!
Spike, precious scales, I already have magic!
But not the kind that helps you create something in time for the fair!
This can!
I suppose it's worth a try.
From in the head to out in the world Every thought to action
Hold close this book, and through its spell You'll start a chain reaction
Projecting forth whatever beauty you see
Only when true words are spoken Will you finally be set free
Did it work?
There's only one way to find out.
Oh my! I thought about making this a much more beautiful spellbook
and I have!
Dear, dear, Spike!
Here I was about to give up,
but like a true friend you've come through with flying colors!
Come! We must find the puppeteer right away!
So that I may provide him with the most fabulous theater he has ever imagined!
Or
should I say, that I've ever imagined?
Aha, Miss Rarity, come to see the show, I presume.
You notice I had to make do out of your recent failure to produce a functioning theater.
Oh, but I think you'll find the new one I've created will be much more to your liking.
Well, it is gorgeous,
but that was ever the problem, now, was it?
Oh well, this one does seem to travel.
Plenty of room for my puppets!
I'd say, Miss Rarity, I don't know how you managed to do so in such a short amount of time,
but you seem to have redeemed yourself.
How did you manage to do so in such a short time?
As a matter of fact, she used a sp…
Proper designer never reveals her tricks.
Thank you again, Spike, for being such a dear friend.
And finding this book for me!
My pleasure.
Well, I guess I can return it, now that the fair is over.
Yes, of course.
I've made my creative contribution as I'd hoped to do.
And all is well.
Then again, perhaps I should keep it but a skotch longer.
You don't mind, do you, Spike?
Of course not.
See you tomorrow!
What?
She'll keep it for a few more hours.
No harm in that.
Rarity?
Spike!
I'm so glad you're here!
Whoa!
Are you okay?
Oh, I've never been better!
This book you've given me is amazing!
Why, I've been up all night just creating and creating and creating and creating!
I have completed my fall line… for the next fifteen seasons!
Wow!
But then I started thinking, why stop there?
Oh, Spike. I've always thought this town of ours could use a few beautifying upgrades.
And with this book I can make that happen with such ease!
You will support me in this endeavour by letting me keep this book just a little longer?
Of course I will.
What do you say we get a little breakfast before we get started?
No time for breakfast!
I want to get started right away!
Technically…
we do have time, because with that book held close you can just make things…
Rarity?
Now, this is exactly what I'm talking about!
Why, that cart hasn't an ounce of a stylish flair.
My eyes playing tricks on me again?
What in rhubarb pie just happened?
Isn't it gorgeous?
It's amazing!
You should ask Applejack if she wants you to get all the Apple family carts a makeover.
Oh!
I don't really think I need to ask permission, darling.
Everyone loves surprises.
Especially when they are gorgeous ones.
You're right.
Everypony does love surprises.
We shouldn't even tell anypony that it's me who's behind all the fabulous changes I'll be making.
Why, that'd be a fun little secret for the three of us to share.
The… three… of us…
You, me…
and the book of course.
My marvelous, marvelous book.
Of course…
Promise me you won't say a word to anypony.
You got it!
I knew I could count on you, Spike.
And I also know just what I want to do next!
Take that!
And that!
What in the…?
Get…
it…
off…
me!
I've always thought Rainbow Dash could use a little more glamour.
And now look at her!
Cloud-busting with style!
Moving on!
She will be fine.
It's just a dress.
Wait for your favorite dragon!
La la-la la-la la-la la la…
There you go, mister Robin.
Don't you look so content in your little house.
Oh, my goodness.
You're lost?
No, not that way.
That looks like that's a door to a…
bedroom.
Try that one over there.
No, no. That is to a…
Shoe closet?
Oh, dear…
Maybe try the staircase?
No, no, no, no. The other staircase.
Isn't it gorgeous?
It's probably the most beautiful birdhouse ever created.
Go on.
I'm just not sure how the bird feels about it.
What does a bird know about architectural design?
What matters is what you think, Spike.
And you love it.
Don't you?
Of course I do.
It's so…
Rarity.
It is, isn't it?
Oh, adorable!
But it could use a touch of class? Don't you think?
Oh, yeah.
Definitely.
But this party doesn't even seem have a proper theme!
Let's do something about that. Shall we?
You've already make things look really really great.
Maybe you should stop while you're ahead?
You are right, Spike.
There's so much to do elsewhere!
Right!
Elsewhere…
Just one more little thing before we go.
Why, this party is certain to make a society page now.
Won't Pinkie Pie be pleased?
Happy, happy day to…
Huh?
I am simply buzzing with ideas.
Simply buzzing!
That's great.
But…
You've been at this for a while now.
Haven't you take a break?
Give that brilliant mind of yours a rest.
Don't be silly.
I'm not gonna stop now!
Why, I won't stop until the every inch of Ponyville is benefited from my creative vision!
Starting with you, Spike!
You! Look! Fabulous!
All because of you!
Anything for my favorite dragon and most supportive friend.
Come!
There's so much more to do!
Oh no! Not you too!
What do you mean, not me too?
Oh, judging by that outfit, I thought for sure…
What, this?
I just wanted to try out a new look.
You like?
Well, in that case, have you seen anypony suspicious around?
Nope.
Princess Twilight, the gazebo has been turned into solid crystal!
And two ponies are now trapped inside its walls!
No! I made a promise to Rarity to keep this to myself!
But you're right, Owlowiscious.
I have to tell.
And once I do,
I can forget Rarity thinking of me as the most supportive friend.
I can forget Rarity thinking of me as a friend at all!
I can't do it.
I promised I'll keep all of it between the three of us.
Of course it's weird that she meant me, her and the spellbook.
But… The spellbook!
Of course!
If I didn't get it away from her, I bet she won't be able to use its magic anymore!
Oh come on, it's the perfect plan!
I just have to figure out which way she went.
I can't see!
I'm thinking she's headed this way.
What do you think you're doing?
Me? I was just…
basking in your creative radiance.
Oh, Spike.
You do say the nicest things.
Thanks.
Well, where was I?
Oh yes!
Gold-plated rooftops for everypony!
Spike!
I have just had the most marvellous idea!
Of course you have.
You're Rarity!
My work here in Ponyville is nearly complete.
Don't you think it's time the rest of Equestria benefited from my creative vision?
Absolutely!
Oh! I'm thinking we go by chariot!
Or, as everyone will soon be calling them, rariot!
Oh yeah. We should definitely go by…
How… how did you do that?
Why, whatever do you mean?
The book. It's… I mean… You don't…
It's gone!
The book is gone!
Gone?
Why it's right there.
I need my book, Spike!
What have you done with my book?
Why would I do anyhting with your book.
We're friends!
It was probably the owl.
But wait.
I don't seem to need it anymore, do I?
Yes, yes!
I can feel its magic flowing within me now!
I'm so excited! I'm so excited!
I'm so scared.
Oh, the places we'll go, Spike.
Manehattan! Fillydelphia! Canterlot!
And there you'll be by my side!
Just as you always have been here in Ponyville.
Your constant praise and adoration driving me to even greater heights!
Until there isn't an inch of Equestria that hasn't been utterly transformed by my
creative genius!
No.
What did you say?
I said no.
You've been changing things, but you haven't been making them better.
I should've told you the truth at the very beginning.
But I didn't, because I was trying to be a supportive friend.
But instead I let you become something awful.
Awful?
What happened?
Rarity? You're okay?
I think so.
Though by the looks of it, something quite terrifying has happened to Ponyville.
You happened.
Me?
The last part of the spell!
Only when true words are spoken Will you finally be set free
The spell took over you and you wanted to change everything in Equestria.
I was afraid to tell you how I really felt about it.
But then I… I told you the truth.
Dearest Spike.
You should never be afraid to tell me the truth.
We're friends, remember?
Today I learned how important it is to be honest with your friends
when they're doing something that you don't think is right.
A true friend knows that you're speaking up because you care about them.
Spike!
Never-ever-ever-ever
take another book out of the library at the castle without asking!
Princess Cadence and Princess Luna have much better things to do than help me clean up Ponyville!
Do you have any idea how hard it was to reverse that much dark magic?
You don't look so good.
What?
I'm just being honest.
It's what good friends do.
