Oh wow!
Oh my gosh!
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!
Sorry, Applejack!
Twilight, Twilight, where are you?
I'm in here, Pinkie!
What is it?
You'll never guess what I just got!
Is everything okay?
We heard a lot of oh my goshin',
and we weren't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
A good thing!
"To pink pony who lives with baked goods."
It's from the yaks!
"Yaks cordially invite pink pony to
Come. Now."
Prince Rutherford is officially inviting me
to the Yakslurbertfest in Yakyakistan!
What is Yakslubertfest?
It's a sacred yak holiday.
How did you get Prince Rutherford to invite you?
I subtly hinted for an invitation in my letters to him.
"May I please come to Yakslurbertfest?"
"Pretty please?"
"Pretty-pretty-pretty-pretty-pretty please?"
After my seventeenth scroll,
I think he picked up what I was putting down.
You know, we still don't know a lot about the yaks.
So I think you should definitely go to Yakslurbertfest, Pinkie.
Yeah!
Fostering friendships is what ponies do.
I won't let you down!
It's an honor to be the
official friendship ambassador to the yaks!
That's not an official position.
Yet!
You're the Princess of Friendship.
You can make it happen!
Okay, you got it.
You have to make it official!
Right.
I hereby make Pinkie Pie
the official friendship ambassador to the yaks!
This is officially…
the most exciting day in my life!
Yoohoo, Gummy, pay attention.
We're in the middle of an official friendship ambassador road trip game.
That's better.
Okay.
I spy with my official friendship eye…
something that is blue!
We're here!
Oh, by the way,
the answer was sky!
I win!
Yeah, I know that was a hard one, Gummy.
You're the best official friendship travel companion ever!
What is going on?
Yaks destroy!
Yikes!
Pink pony!
It's an honor to…
be here, Prince.
Did something terrible happen?
Is canceled?
No.
This's Yakslurbertfest.
Where yaks get together to stomp!
I didn't know that was part of the sacred holiday.
So this angry display of destruction is part of the festivities?
And here I thought you yaks were just in a bad mood.
No-o-o.
Stomping relaxes yaks.
Yaks had never been so clear.
This is awesome!
Sto-op!
Pink pony better check self before wreck self.
That is century old sacred yak twig
passed down from generation to generation.
Oh no!
I'm so sorry.
I was just trying to get into the spirit of Yakslerberfest.
Maybe I can fix it.
Yak kidding!
Yak got pink pony good.
Horn bump!
Oh, you sure did, Prince Rutherford.
That was a close one, Gummy.
This trip has to be perfect.
After all, we're not just visiting as friends.
We are on official friendship ambassador business!
Less talking! More stomping!
Yeah!
A-and stompy, stompy, stompy, stompy!
Now I take pink pony on Yakyakistan tour.
Thanks Prince Rutherford, but
I've been to Yakyakistan before.
Yak know, but thought pink pony
might not recognize town since decorated for Yakflerbertfest.
You're right!
It's so different now that you've pointed it out.
Oh, yaks not just have eye for decorating.
Yaks also amazing builders!
No. Way.
I thought you hired professional contractors.
Here.
Let me help you with that.
This ceremonial yak's fire pit,
where yaks tell stories.
I have so much to officially tell the ponies when I get back.
This yak eating hut.
Hut, where yaks eat.
The perfect balance of vanilla extract.
Yaks grow own vanilla bean.
Nothing important.
Yak sleeping hut.
Hut, where yaks sleep.
Yak music hut.
Hut, where yaks enjoy beautiful music.
This is beautiful and…
Pink pony ruin with talking.
And that how yaks defeat evil and save world.
Pink pony like yak story.
Yak impressed.
Pink pony can almost be honorary yak.
Official friendship ambassador and honorary yak?
Pink pony's title card is full!
Horn bump?
Oh, wait.
I don't have a horn.
Prince Rutherford, can I get some honorary yak's horns?
No. Yak horn too heavy for small pony head.
Yakslerberfest stomp time!
Stomp harder!
Yaks extra happy.
Ponies and yaks.
Friend.
Is this part of the festival?
Pink pony ask too many questions.
Everything is buried in snow!
What are we gonna do?
Yaks fine.
Snow fall from mountains all the time.
All the time?
Every Yakslerberfest.
Okay.
Avalanches like this completely bury all of your homes every Yakslerberfest?
Really?
This is big avalanche.
But not a problem!
For yaks are tough.
Yaks dig through snow.
Wouldn't take long.
Oh good.
You have an emergency plan in place.
Here, let me help.
I'm tired.
We must be almost done.
There's still snow everywhere?!
Yaks keep digging.
Yaks stop digging.
Make situation worse.
Okay.
Don't worry, Prince Rutherford.
I'll go back to Ponyville and ask for help.
Twilight and the others will be happy to come dig the snow away.
After all, many hooves make light work.
Right, Gummy?
Yaks no need pony help!
Why I'm sure it'll be okay,
'cause you probably have a plan B.
Yes.
Yaks wait for snow to melt.
All this snow?
It'll take a thousand moons before it melts!
Yaks known for their patience.
Well… be that as it may.
In the meantime what will you eat?
Where will you sleep?
Yaks can make this work.
Hardship make yaks the strong yaks that yaks are.
If pink pony disagrees,
than she can leave Yakyakistan
and never return!
Of course pink pony agrees with you!
Hey, let's try out some snow recipes!
Snow cakes!
Snow spaghetti!
Snow sandwiches!
Yaks can make this work.
Yak tired.
Yak retire to new sleeping hut.
Snow cake good.
Just the right balance of cold and water.
Stop! Yak eating new eating hut!
Prince Rutherford, what are we doing?
It's obvious. This new music hut.
Oh, so we're swaying to…
Shhh! Pink pony ruins snow music with talking!
What was yak?
Yak stomach rumbles. Yak hungry!
Shh! Prince yak will hear yak!
But snow worse than yak ever seen!
Yak know. Yak hungry too!
Gummy, did you hear that?
They can't make it work!
Yaks stop swaying!
Music over!
If Twilight and the others knew what was going on,
they would be here to help in a pony's heartbeat.
Have to convince Prince Rutherford that asking to help is okay.
Would you help me Gummy?
Thank you.
And see, asking you to help wasn't in hard at all.
Pink Pony has gathered you around a new ceremonial yak firepit.
To tell you a story.
A yak tradition, right?
Yay!
This is a story about a group of…
the goats.
Who live in the desert.
There was a sandstorm
and there entire village was buried in sand.
There was nothing they could do.
They knew, they could not survive by only eating sand-wiches.
Get it?
Okay, anyway.
Finally the goat's brave wise leader.
Let's just call him Prince… Drutherford.
Decides that they couldn't to it by themselves.
So he asked the neighboring town of the…
Bovineville to come help them.
Yeah, cows!
The magical cows helped the goats, everyone survived and lived happily ever after.
Because they asked for help.
The end!
So what is the moral of that story?
Is it "A" — asking for help is okay?
"B" — asking for help saves the day?
Or "C" — asking for help is good for everypony?
"D" — goats weak and horrible!
Magic bovines need to stay out of goats' business!
Not quite.
Any yak wanna shout out another answer?
Hey Prince Rutherford, I wanna talk to you about something…
Uh, what are you doing?
Yak's snowbed got a little melty last night.
Okay, yeah.
That's what I wanna talk to you about.
You know,
these yak's snowbeds are the fluffiest I ever slept in.
They so comfortable you forget what it's just a cold block of ice.
And the yak's snow sandwiches.
I hate it when food burns your mouth and overwhelms it with flavor.
Oh. Yak hates that too.
You know who would really really enjoy these snow sandwiches?
Twilight Sparkle and the other ponies!
Hey. I have an idea.
Why don't I go to Ponyville and bring them back here?
Ponies like snow sandwich?
Oh, ponies love snow sandwiches!
And hey, while they're here, you can ask if they'll clear the snow away.
Fun, right?
When Prince was little yak,
Prince stomped on ground too hard,
made deep hole and fell into hole.
Ice froze over hole.
Prince waved to friends and family from inside frozen hole.
Waited for spring thaw.
Prince survived on own.
Wait a minute.
You spent the whole winter in a hole?
Yes.
And yak never asked for help.
Okay.
First of all, how did you make such deep hole from stomping?
And how did it freeze over so fast?
And how could you see your family and friends to wave to them from inside frozen hole?
Even if all that was possible, how did you breathe in there?
Yaks don't ask for help!
But the yaks are hungry.
And who knows when the snow might melt.
I just don't understand why…
Oh yes.
It's clear now that pink pony does not understand yaks.
Honorary yak status… rescinded.
Bang! Pretend there's door.
I just slammed it.
Fine! Be stubborn!
Oh, those yaks are so stubborn!
They refuse to ask for help even though they need it!
Well, this official friendship ambassador is gonna take matters into her own hooves.
I'll show them!
You're right, Gummy, I am too worked up.
Roadtrip game would officially calm me down.
I know! Let's play "Twenty million questions".
You think of something,
then I'll ask you twenty million questions until I can come up with what you're thinking of.
Let's go!
Is it blue?
Is it green?
Is it red?
Is it greenish red?
Is it reddish blue?
Is it bigger than a breadbox?
Is it smaller than a breadbox?
Is it a breadbox?
Is it bread?
Is it tea?
Is it Granny Smith dentures?
Is it you?
Is it a rooster?
Is it a red rooster?
Is it a red rooster eating corn?
Used up all twenty million questions!
Oh well, we are here anyway.
Official pony balloon still here?
Pink pony gone, because pink pony not tough like yaks.
Horn bump in agreement!
Now!
Snow sandwich lose novelty.
Snow couscous for dinner!
Then Prince Rutherford said:
"Bang! Pretend there is door.
I just slammed it."
Pinkie Pie…
So then pink pony said:
"Fine! Be stubborn!"
Pinkie Pie, we have to help the yaks!
So, in conclusion,
we have to help the yaks!
Just go with it, hon.
Great idea, Pinkie.
We'll be happy to help the yaks.
This is what friendship is all about.
Hey! I'll bring apples.
This season's' batch are extra juicy.
And I shall provide the yaks with Equestria's finest textiles.
They'll be silky and warm with hints of gold to complement their horns.
Stop!
We can't bring the yaks any pony stuff.
Why not?
The yaks are very proud.
They won't ask for help.
You know what they say:
"You can lead a yak to water but you better no let him know you doing it"!
Nopony says that.
Do they?
Okay then,
this will be unofficial cover friendship mission.
You got it.
Is it yellow?
Is it slimy?
Is it slimy yellow?
We're not playing that!
First!
We have to infiltrate the yak camping.
These walls are high.
Sneaking in will not be easy.
Or it super easy cause I'm awesome.
Go ahead! I'll catch up!
You all know what to do!
What happened?
Show melted, Prince Rutherford was right.
Yaks tough!
Yaks wait patiently!
Yaaaks win!
Helping and fixing entire Yak Village sure takes a lot out of ya.
Let's get out of here before…
Oh, pink pony!
Just play it cool.
We didn't help fix Yakyakistan, oh, no…
We just here for the snow sandwiches, but
then we got here and the snow was gone,
so we thought we'd hit a diner on the way back to Ponyville,
bye-bye!
Wait!
Yak not mad at pink pony.
Yak not?
Pink pony help yaks without yaks asking.
Means pink pony understand yaks.
I do?
I do!
Pink pony — the best kind of friend.
Officially honorary yak!
Pink pony — honorary yak!
Yippee
My own honorary yak horns!
Now I can officially horn-bump!
Yeah, you know, this is a little heavy for my small pony head.
Need some help with that, Pinkie Pie?
Pink pony no need applepony's help.
Just kidding.
Pink pony got applepony good.
Seriously. This is heavy.
