So let me get this straight…
You and Spike are putting together a magical book of memories
that you plan to give to Twilight as a surprise at her coronation,
and you need me to get her to talk about her favorite memories of me
so you can record them all in your book?
Pretty much.
Twilight is heading over here to taste the cupcakes I made for her coronation.
I know just how I can use that to get her memory muscles moving.
That's good, because there isn't any place for us to hide while you do it,
so you're gonna be on your own.
The book's all set.
When you're ready, just tap the cover with your hoof…
and it'll start recording whatever memories are nearby.
A-And that's why a savory pie is a far superior…
Oh, hey, Twilight!
Hey, Starlight. Hey, Spike.
Hello, Spike!
I didn't see you there,
since we came into the shop separately and not together.
We definitely came here for totally different things.
But now it's time for us to go!
Bye bye, Twilight!
Goodbye, Twilight!
For your coronation cakes, I've used the science of baking to come up with a formula that connects tastes with memories!
Take a bite and tell me the first thing you remember.
Okay.
I guess this tastes like… the first time we met?
Surprise!
Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you!
Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?
Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet.
Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet?
I mean, duh, bo-ring!
Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember?
You were all "hello" and I was all "Aaaaah", remember?
Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new,
'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville!
And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends,
and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went "Aaaaah"!
I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville!
See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!
Are you all right, sugarcube?
Aww, she's so happy she's crying!
Not bad…
Now try this!
Well, it's, um, chocolatey.
No, dark chocolate.
No, I know!
That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it!
I didn't see you there… my apologies.
Right here…
Oh wait. I think I stepped in somethin'.
It's just mud.
Pinkie, what are you doing?! Run!
Oh, girls. Don't you see…?
When I was a little filly and the sun was going dooown…
Tell me she's not…
The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frooown…
She is.
I'd hide under my pillow from what I thought I saw,
But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way to deal with fears at aaall!
Then what is?
She said: Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall, learn to face your fears.
You'll see that they can't hurt you, just laugh to make them disappear.
Sooo, giggle at the ghostly!
Guffaw at the grossly!
Crack up at the creepy!
Whoop it up with the weepy!
Chortle at the cooky!
Snortle at the spooky!
And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone…
Andifhethinkshecanscareyouthenhesgotanotherthink comingandtheveryideaofsuchathingjustmakesyouwanna…
LAAAUGH!
I'll accept that.
I can tell what that one is just by looking at it.
I don't even need to taste it…
Wrong!
Is everypony alright?
I can't tell if my eyes are opened or closed.
I think I can see a little bit.
Nope…
Look at these!
Pinkie Pie has made the files for everypony in town.
With exactly what kind of parties we like.
Pinkie Pie has a secret party planning cave?
How cool is this?
Twilight Sparkle likes vanilla icecream, red baloons, dancing.
That's right!
But she is afraid of quesadillas.
No, I'm not!
They're just so…
cheesy…
Look at here.
It's notes for the party she wants to throw for her folks' fiftieth anniversary.
but they ain't nearly that old.
She's already planning their one hundredth too.
And their five hundredth?
I had no idea she worked so hard on her parties.
She may be more organized than you, Twilight.
Let's not get carried away.
I just wish Pinkie Pie were here
so we could tell her how much we all appreciate her hard work.
Thank you! Thank you!
I love you too!
All of you!
I don't know about your memory formula, but I sure liked the cupcakes.
And thinking of some of my favorite times with you was pretty fun, too.
Close enough.
Thanks for your help.
Oh! Hello again! It seems that we…
I forgot to pick up our… um, my order.
Me, too!
Well, that could not have gone better.
I got Twilight to remember all sorts of fun memories of me.
Oh, that's great! And the book worked okay when you tapped it?
Yeah. I… kinda forgot about that part.
Thanks for coming back!
I really thought I had my taste/memory formula figured out,
but I was completely/totally wrong.
So… on to stage two!
Well, I definitely know what this one is.
Pinkies, you've been brought here to take a test.
Don't worry. It's a simple test.
About as simple as they come!
And whoever passes, gets to stay!
Curtain, please.
The test
will be watching paint dry!
On your mark.
Get set.
GO!
Whoa, this is so exciting!
Okay,
maybe not that exciting.
Oh, hey, look at the birdie!
Watch me bounce and touch the ceiling!
Is that… Is that a frog crossed with an orange?
Cool!
Where?
Look what I can do with my hooves!
Betcha can't make a face crazier than…
this!
I can't take it any more!
Somepony's making baloon animals!
What? Where?
Pinkie, you can look away now.
I passed?
You passed.
You're the only Pinkie who kept staring at the wall.
I had to. I just had to.
I couldn't leave my friends. I just couldn't!
But I guess sometimes I WILL have to choose between them.
Knew you'd be up to the challenge.
I'm me! I'm me! I'm ME!
That's nice, but this cake isn't supposed to remind you of that.
It's supposed to remind you of all the holidays I invented!
Happy day-after-your-birthday, Zecora!
Happy monthiversary to you and you today
Surprise! Happy seventy-third Wonderbolt training session!
We were just celebrating the anniversary of the twins' first sneezes!
Congratulations on your seventy-fourth Wonderbolt training session!
Happy unofficial "Wake Your Friends Up" Day!
Happy "It's Not Your Birthday But Here's a Pie Anyway" Day!
National Random Holiday Party Day!
Now this one definitely makes me think of…
Twitchy twitcha twitcha twitch.
Pinkie Pie?
What in the wide, wide world of Equestria are you up to?
It's my tail! It's my tail!
It's a-twitch a-twitchin'!
And you know what that means!
Actually, Pinkie, I haven't the slightest idea.
The twitchin' means my Pinkie Sense is telling me that stuff's gonna start falling!
You two better duck for cover.
Oh, Pinkie, it's not gonna rain.
Why, there's barely even a cloud in the…
He just said "nice catch" in frog.
Oh, no. That's not it at all.
Does it maybe remind you of babysitting?
Hey, you're a wonderful crowd here tonight, where y'all from?
Well that's great.
Y'know, I used to have an ant farm,
but I had to get rid of it because I couldn't find tractors that small!
Get it?
Tracktor! That! Small!
The other day, I spilled spot remover on my dog,
and now I can't find him!
Gee, tough crowd.
Tell me about it…
Fine, I wasn't gonna pull off a show stopper,
but you're a lovely audience and I think you deserve it!
First you wriggle your tail Oink-oink-oink
Then you wriggle your snout Oink-oink-oink
Then you wriggle your rump Oink-oink-oink
Then shout it out Oink-oink-oink
First you wriggle your tail Oink-oink-oink
Then you wriggle your snout Oink-oink-oink
Then you wriggle your rump Oink-oink-oink
Then shout it out Oink-oink-oink
First you wriggle your tail Oink-oink-oink
Then you wriggle your snout Oink-oink-oink
Then you wriggle your rump Oink-oink-oink
Then shout it out Oink-oink-oink
There! See?
Nothing to this babysitting business.
Yes, absolutely. That's exactly what this cake reminds…
No, it doesn't!
But maybe it reminds you of all the crazy outfits I've worn over the years, huh?
Yes?
NO!
Those were all trick questions!
This cake is about my ability to sum up a series of events in a quickly stated run-on sentence
that keeps going for as long as it takes for me to say either everything that's happened up to this point
or everything that's going to happen with no real way of explaining how I could possibly know that information!
Pinkie, I love that you're taking this job so seriously.
Memories or not, I trust you to make whatever coronation cakes you want.
Pinkie, that was great!
I think we got everything we needed.
We most certainly did not!
Twilight got all those memories wrong!
My taste/memories formula isn't working!
Didn't you just make that up?
But that doesn't mean it shouldn't work!
We need to try again!
Back to the cutting board!
Pinkie, it's the middle of the night! What are you doing here?!
I think I finally cracked/solved the taste/memory formula!
Here!
Pinkie, this cake is… I can't even describe it!
Wow, Pinkie,
this came together quick,
even for you!
What can I say?
I'm good at what I do.
Prince Rutherford, every time we tried to make something in Equestria
feel like Yakyakistan we couldn't get it right.
When I got back from my adventure, I realised something.
We shouldn't try to make Equestria feel like your home.
We should try to make you feel at home in Equestria.
And that means showing you why we love it here.
So you'll love it too.
Pink pony work hard to make yaks feel at home.
Now yaks happy.
No declare war.
Those look yummy, Pinkie.
Let me help you!
But we better cover them up so they don't get spoiled.
Why would they get spoiled?
We're all gonna eat them super soon.
Oh, didn't anypony tell you?
Shining Armour and Cadence are held up.
They may not arrive till Saturday.
What?!
You mean…
I have…
to wait…
another whole day?!
I don't know if I can!
Pinkie Pie, do you have something you need to say?
You seem like you've been keeping something in.
We're here to listen.
Well, go on then, sugarcube.
We're not going to judge you, darling.
You'll feel so much better, once you get it off your chest.
Come on…
Whatever it is, you can tell us.
We're best friends.
Friends! Friends! Friends!
Tell! Tell! Tell!
Friends! Friends! Friends!
Tell! Tell! Tell!
Okay, okay, you win!
Shining Armor and Cadance are gonna have a…
…an awesome weekend with best little sister
in all of Equestria!
Hi, everypony.
…And then I said goodbye, and then I came here!
…And then I gathered you all together and started telling you about it.
First, I said—
Well, that sounds like quite a trip!
And Cheese Sandwich just left his own factory?
Yup. But I think Sans Smirk's hooves were the perfect ones to leave it in.
As much as Cheese was born to wander Equestria and make ponies laugh in-person,
Sans was born to run that factory.
And you don't sound so worried about findin' your life's purpose anymore.
Nope! I figured out Cheese and I are pretty much the same.
We both need to see ponies laughing to feel fulfilled.
And I already do that.
My life is purposing itself all over the place!
Pinkie Pie! How do you remember everything about everypony?
'Cause everypony's my friend and I love to see my friends smile!
My name is Pinkie Pie (hello!)
And I am here to say (how ya doin'?)
I'm gonna make you smile, and I will brighten up your day!
It doesn't matter now (what's up?)
If you are sad or blue (howdy!)
Cause cheering up, my friend, is just what Pinkie's here to do!
Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile! (Yes I do!)
It fills my heart with sunshine all the while, (yes it does!)
Cause all I really need is smile, smile, smile,
From these happy friends of mine!
I like to see you grin (awesome!)
I love to see you beam (rock on!)
The corners of your mouth turned up
Is always Pinkie's dream (real fun!)
But if you're kind of worried
And your face has made a frown
I'll work real hard and do my best
To turn that sad frown upside-down!
Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin! (yes, I do)
Busting out from ear to ear. Let it begin!
Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin!
And you fill me with good cheer!
It's true, some days are dark and lonely
And maybe you feel sad,
But Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad.
There's one thing that makes me happy,
And makes my whole life worthwhile!
And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile!
I really am so happy,
Your smile fills me with glee!
I give a smile, I get a smile
And that's so special to me.
Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam (yes I do!)!
Tell me, what more can I say to make you see? (That I do!)
It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam.
Yes it always makes my day!
Come on, everypony, smile, smile, smile.
Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine.
All I really need is a smile, smile, smile,
From these happy friends of mine!
Come on, everypony, smile, smile, smile
Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
All I really need is a smile, smile, smile,
From these happy friends of mine!
Yes, a perfect gift for me,
Is a smile as wide as a mile!
To make me happy as can be!
Smile.
Smile!
Come on and smile!
Yes! Yes! All of that!
That's exactly what you were supposed to remember!
This cake is amazing.
I'm not sure you ever need to bake another one.
Let's not go crazy.
I can't think of a more perfect cake for my coronation.
But I should probably get back to sleep.
I think we finally got everything we need.
Or not.
What…? Oh, no!
Spike, we fell asleep!
I'm sorry, Pinkie. We didn't get any of the memories you just went through.
No problem. I remember them all.
First, I woke Twilight up and fed her some of this amazing cake.
And then she remembered the time I prevented the yaks from declaring war on Equestria.
And then she remembered the time I knew that Cadance and Shining Armor were going to have a baby…
