- [stomping]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Remind me how this happened again!- [crunch]
**Applejack**: And why there's a giant turtle eatin' my family's entire summer crop!**Fluttershy**: Oh, dear. Mr. Tortoise-Snap said he was hungry. But he promised me he would only take a few small bites.**Rainbow Dash**: I don't think that thing knows what "small" is.**Mr. Tortoise-Snap**: [gulps]- [stomping]
**Spike**: Aah!**Rarity**: Spikey-Wikey!**Spike**: Whoa!**Mr. Tortoise-Snap**: [chomps]**Twilight Sparkle**: Applejack and Pinkie, you distract him! Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy, let's save Spike!**Applejack**: [grunting]- [whirring]
**Mr. Tortoise-Snap**: [low growl]- [snap!]
**Fluttershy**: Mr. Tortoise-Snap, I'm only asking nicely once! Let my friend go!**Mr. Tortoise-Snap**: [low growl]**Spike**: Whoa! Whoa!**Twilight Sparkle**: And now, a simple teleportation spell should—**Princess Celestia**:*Halt, interloper!***Princess Luna**: Stay back, friends! My sister and I will take care of the beast!- [magic zaps]
**Rainbow Dash**: All the times we've actually needed their help, and they show up for*this*?- [whooshing]
- [teleportation zap]
**Twilight Sparkle**: That's just what*I*was about to do!**Princess Luna**: [laughs] Goodness, sister! That was fun!**Princess Celestia**: No need to thank us. To be honest, we've recently realized we like being part of the action.**Princess Luna**: Experiencing life instead of just dreaming about it.**Princess Celestia**: And making a difference outside the throne room.**Princess Celestia**and**Princess Luna**: [laughing]**Applejack**: Y'all think they're gonna be doin' this a lot?

- [theme song]

- [crunch]
- [splash]
**Fluttershy**: Oh, my. We'd better ask somepony to fix that hole. It seems very dangerous.**Princess Luna**: Which is why*we're*here!- [whoosh]
- [thud]
- [ponies cheering]

**Rainbow Dash**: [growls] I can't read this thing. How am I supposed to lead a Filly Guides hike if the map makes us*more*lost?**Princess Celestia**: Did somepony say "lost"?**Princess Luna**: Not for long! [laughs]- [zap!]

**Pinkie Pie**: [slurps]**Mrs. Cake**: Oh, now, this is just terrible! Miss Cheerilee ordered cupcakes for school today, and I forgot to make the order!**Pinkie Pie**: Ah, no biggie. We could—- [crash!]
**Princess Celestia**: Students going hungry? Not on our watch!**Princess Luna**: Let us bake, sister!**Pinkie Pie**: [gasps]- [splattering]

**Applejack**: And then they carried Granny Smith across the street. There wasn't even any traffic!**Fluttershy**: It's not that we don't appreciate their help.**Rarity**: But suddenly, Celestia and Luna seem to think we can't do anything on our own.**Rainbow Dash**: How are we supposed to learn to be rulers of Equestria with them fixing every teensy problem for us?**Twilight Sparkle**: Maybe the princesses changed their minds. Maybe they don't think we're up to the responsibility of protecting Equestria after all!**Spike**: Or maybe this week's just a one-time thing that'll never happen again.- [doors open]
**Princess Celestia**: Ah! A strategy meeting! What is the danger this time? A rampaging beast? Evil spell? Friendship problem?**Princess Luna**: We're ready to do whatever we can.**Twilight Sparkle**: Great. But is something wrong? It's just... You've been helping us an awful lot, and we know you have way more important ruler-y things to do, so...**Princess Luna**: We've spent more than enough time in the throne room. Real life is happening out here.**Twilight Sparkle**: Wait. That's what this is about? You're sick of being princesses?**Princess Celestia**: Not exactly. Battling the Everfree Forest alongside Star Swirl made us realize what we've missed out on. So, instead of spending the day ruling...**Princess Luna**: ...and the night patrolling dreams...**Princess Celestia**: ...we wanted a chance to do the things*you*do. Save the day! Adventure with friends! Shampoo anteaters.**Spike**: I'm pretty sure Fluttershy's the only pony that does that.**Rainbow Dash**: Well, there are waaaay more fun things to do than follow us around.**Pinkie Pie**: Ooh! You should make a list of all the stuff you never tried but always wanted to! There's a lotta little things out there to do!**Princess Celestia**: What an intriguing idea. Only... it's much harder to justify a vacation from the castle when it's not an emergency we're responding to.**Twilight Sparkle**: Don't worry. We'll cover your palace duties. It'll be a good chance for us to practice for when you retire.**Princess Luna**: Well, if you're sure you don't mind the extra effort.**Twilight Sparkle**: [scoffs]**Princess Celestia**: Thank you, Twilight! What a relief to know the Royal Swanifying Ceremony is in good hooves. [laughs]**Applejack**: The what now?

**Princess Celestia**: "Fun Not Yet Had". [squeals] I can't wait to start planning our time off!**Princess Luna**: The chance to do whatever we want! And you know what that means!

**Princess Luna**: Well, it's just that I... I spend each night in everypony's intense dreams. So I could use some real-world downtime.**Princess Celestia**: [sighs] I understand. But for me, every day*is*real-world. Meetings and decrees and meetings about decrees and decrees about the meetings... I crave excitement!**Princess Luna**: Uh, I'm not sure how we can both be happy. Unless...**Princess Celestia**: [gasps] We take turns doing what we like!**Princess Celestia**and**Princess Luna**: Sister trip!**Princess Luna**: And I have the perfect accessories for us to wear! Wait right here!- [teleportation zap]
- [teleportation zap]
**Princess Celestia**: Oh. [nervous laugh] We'll be... twin-sies.**Princess Luna**: [giggling] Just like regular pony tourists. I knew you'd love it.**Princess Celestia**: I have a few things for us, too.- [thud]
**Princess Celestia**: Sunglasses, bug spray, ice boots, hoof sanitizer, and travel snacks!**Princess Luna**: [slurps, chews, coughs]**Princess Celestia**: You have to add water. What do you think?**Princess Luna**: It's perfect, sister.

**Princess Celestia**: And here are instructions of how to prepare for the Royal Swanifying.**Twilight Sparkle**: If it's written down, I'm sure we can handle it. Have fun!**Princess Luna**: One more thing. We're leaving you in charge of raising the sun and moon while we're gone.**Twilight Sparkle**and**Spike**: [gasp]**Twilight Sparkle**: [nervous laugh]**Princess Celestia**: We have put a small part of our power in this amulet. You can activate it with your magic at any time. Preferably dawn and dusk.**Pinkie Pie**: Ooh! That's not a terrifying level of responsibility or anything!**Twilight Sparkle**: We won't let you down, princesses. [to Spike] Please tell me that scroll says what the the Royal Swanifying is.**Spike**: Apparently it's a celebration of all the swans in the royal lake. We round them up, parade them through the streets, and finish with a party in the castle.- [swan squawks]
**Rainbow Dash**: One question.*Why?!***Twilight Sparkle**: It doesn't matter. This is our chance to show Celestia and Luna we'll do whatever the job requires. If they can take care of all this themselves, then I know*we*can. Together.**Fluttershy**: Um... hmm.**Rarity**: Ah. Jolly good.**Spike**: You're definitely not reading the same scroll I am.

**Princess Celestia**: Remember, sister. From now on, we are regular, carefree ponies!- [excited chattering]
- [camera clicks]
**Princess Luna**: We're leaving the princess life behind, and we're not even going to fly!**Princess Celestia**: Of course. [laughs] How new and different. It's just like Pinkie Pie said.

- [Lotta Little Things|song]
- [doors open]
**Fancy Pants**: Princesses, we are here to... Oh.**Applejack**: Uh, we're fillin' in for Their Majesties. What can we help y'all with?**Fancy Pants**: I say. How irregular. Well then. We offer our assistance as heads of the Royal Swanifying Committee.**Rarity**: Ah, what a relief.**Twilight Sparkle**: Thank you, but we have it all covered.**Fancy Pants**: Reeeeeally? Well, good luck with that.**Twilight Sparkle**: If we ask for help, it's just like admitting we're not as good at the job as Luna and Celestia are. Besides, how hard can throwing a swan party be?**Pinkie Pie**: Yeah! All we have left to do is polish the armor, bubble the punch, glitter the carpet, puff the pastry, float the floats, and carpet every road in Canterlot! Should I keep reading?**Twilight Sparkle**: [nervous laugh]

**Princess Luna**: Uh, Celestia? Since we're both a little tired, m-maybe the first thing we do shouldn't be too wild.**Princess Celestia**: Exactly what I was thinking.

**Princess Celestia**:*ziiiiip liiiiiiiiiine!*

**Princess Celestia**: Now, every time we have tea, we can remember this magical day!**Princess Luna**: Well, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. But now, we're going to do something*I've*always wanted to do but never could because of my night shift.**Princess Celestia**: Is it another zip line?**Princess Luna**: No.

**Princess Luna**: It's the post office!**Princess Celestia**: It is indeed.**Princess Luna**: Just think! All the mail in Ponyville goes through here! Isn't that amazing?!- [thump]
**Princess Luna**: One stamp, please!- [clattering]
**Princess Luna**: [licks] Wait for it...- [watch ticking]
- [door opens]
**Princess Celestia**: You didn't need a stamp if you were just going to give this to me.**Princess Luna**: Yes, but*I*didn't give it to you. A mailpony took it from me, searched to find who it was meant for, and gave it to you! It's about the process!

**Princess Celestia**: [echoing] Did you know that nopony has ever explored the bottom of these caverns?- [roaring]
- [rocks crunching]
**Princess Luna**: [flatly] I wonder why.

**Princess Luna**: I have always wanted to try this!- [technopop]
**Princess Luna**: Isn't this wonderful, sister?

- [Lotta Little Things|reprise]
- [inflating sounds]
- [doors open]
**Fancy Pants**: Princess Twilight! It has come to our attention that you don't intend to serve watercress at the Royal Swanifying Ceremony.**Twilight Sparkle**: There's not enough in the castle kitchens to—**Fancy Pants**: Don't tell*me*. Tell*him*.- [swan squawks]
**Fancy Pants**: And you must do something about the garbage piling up outside. The street sweepers are on strike, and the royal carpeters can't do their jobs.**Applejack**: Did you even know there were royal street carpeters?**Fancy Pants**: Oh, dear. I do hope those aren't the final decorations for the gala.**Rarity**: How rude.**Twilight Sparkle**: Thank you for your constructive criticism. But we really don't have time to chat, so...- [doors close]

**Princess Celestia**: [chewing, gulps] Well, I hope*you're*enjoying yourself on your super-relaxing picnic, sister.**Princess Luna**: I would be if you hadn't made us hike through a million prickle bushes! [groans]**Princess Celestia**: Well, they hurt less than that horrible howling you dragged us to.**Princess Luna**: That was*Ponygliacci*, and it's an opera! And you made us leave early, even though it was still*my*turn.**Princess Celestia**: Oh, just face it, Luna. You are never happy!**Princess Luna**: Because you don't want me to be happy. I always have to do things*your*way. I bet you wish I'd never come back so you could still rule day*and*night!**Princess Celestia**: You think I*like*that kind of pressure?! Being responsible for every little thing in Equestria*and*you?! What I'd like is a [booming]*sister I can depend on!***Princess Luna**: [booming]*You mean boss around!***Princess Celestia**: [booming]*Calm down, Luna!***Princess Luna**: No! And don't you*dare*use your Canterlot Voice on me! I think this adventure would be better if I did it by myself!**Princess Celestia**:*Fine!*I just remembered something I forgot I always wanted to do. Be alone!**Princess Luna**: [tearing up] Guess we have the same thing on both of our lists then.

**Applejack**: Pinkie! You got those appetizers yet?!**Pinkie Pie**: Still mashing the guacamole!**Spike**: [yelping]**Rarity**: So we're just going to have to do with sequins!**Fluttershy**: Um, sorry for the bad news, but the courtyard is full of swans waiting to get in!- [swans squawking]
**Rainbow Dash**: And we're nowhere near ready!**Twilight Sparkle**: How does Celestia and Luna rule a kingdom*and*get all this done by themselves every year?!**Fancy Pants**: [laughs] Oh, how droll.**Spike**: Uh, what's the funny part exactly?**Fancy Pants**: The princesses never do all the ceremony planning by themselves.**Twilight Sparkle**: They don't?**Fancy Pants**: Oh, goodness, no. That's what the gala planning committees are for. Nopony could handle all this. [sips] Are those... sequins?**Rarity**: Still rude.**Twilight Sparkle**: Ooh! New plan, everypony! We're going to delegate!

**Rainbow Dash**: [to Upper Crust] You! You're on food duty!**Rarity**: [to Jet Set] I need gemstones! And purple satin!**Fluttershy**: [to Fleur de Lis] Tell the ponies at the gates there's a slight delay on the gala! Oh, um, if it's not too much trouble, I mean.**Applejack**: Uh... Now, who can we get to clean up all this garbage?- [stomping]
**Pinkie Pie**: I'm delegating!**Twilight Sparkle**: So*this*is how you rule Equestria!

**Princess Luna**: [slurping, sighs] Things are so much more relaxing without my bossy sister.- [ponies laughing]

**Princess Celestia**: Who needs a gloomy sister moping around all the time anyway? [whinnies]

**Princess Luna**: [groans]**"Nurse Sweetheart"**: Honestly, princess, didn't you wear any sunblock?**Princess Luna**: That's a thing? [sighs] Celestia would've warned me. If she were here.

**Princess Celestia**: Now, was it two left turns and a right, or two right turns and a left?- [whoosh!]
**Princess Celestia**: Luna always handled directions.- [twig snaps]
- [chicken clucks]
**Princess Celestia**: [shakily] And scared away the chickens!

**Princess Celestia**: Oh! Heh. I thought climbing Mount Filly-mane-jaro was on*my*list.**Princess Luna**: I'm not copying you! I just wanted to watch the sunrise.**Princess Celestia**: Ah. I'm, uh, here for the moonset.- [beat]
**Princess Celestia**: So, uh, how did the rest of your day go?**Princess Luna**: Oh, amazing! Yeah. Uh, f-fantastic. Best ever, really.**Princess Celestia**: Yeah. Me... too. Mmm.**Princess Luna**: You... You can walk with me. You know, i-if you want, I mean.**Princess Celestia**: Oh, well... [scoffs] Since we're going the same way. [laughs]

**Princess Luna**: This is so beautiful. It must be amazing in the sunlight.**Princess Celestia**: The night's pretty special, too.**Princess Celestia**and**Princess Luna**: Lucky star!**Princess Luna**: You taught me to look for those when I was a filly.**Princess Celestia**: [laughs] Hope I wasn't too bossy doing it.**Princess Luna**: You know, being with your sister all the time is hard, but being without her? It's even harder.**Princess Celestia**: I*do*know. [sighs] And I wouldn't trade you for any of the adventures on my list.**Princess Luna**: Not even your zip line?- [poof!]
**Princess Celestia**: Not even my zip line.**Princess Luna**: I'm sorry I said those things before. Sometimes it's just tough being the little sister.**Princess Celestia**: It's not always easy being the big sister either. I'm sorry, too.**Princess Luna**: [gasps] The sun and the moon together? At the same time?**Princess Celestia**: Now, where have I seen*that*before?**Princess Celestia**and**Princess Luna**: [laugh]- [long pause]
**Princess Celestia**: You think maybe Twilight's having trouble with the amulet?**Princess Luna**: We should probably go help her.

**Spike**: Okay, okay! I think I got it! Sunburst says we just need to reset the amulet with this! Turn the screw on the back—- [cranking]
- [sproing!]
**Spike**: ...and no more than one half turn.**Twilight Sparkle**: [whimpers] Does anypony have some tape?!
