(snoring)
(whimsical instrumental music)
No, it can't be.
It isn't true.
Um, Twilight? (banging on the door)
Twilight!
The bus for Camp Evergreen leaves in 10 minutes!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!
I can't believe I overslept.
Me neither, that's not like you.
I know.
Don't you have a super annoying alarm clock
that goes (mimics alarm clock buzzer).
(alarm clock buzzes)
It's gonna be fine.
We'll help you pack.
(panting)
(groans) We're gonna be out in the woods.
When's she gonna need that?
If we were going to the moon
I'd insist she packed an evening gown.
One never knows, darling.
Let me just get changed.
(dark sinister music)
Midnight Sparkle!
How is this possible?
Sunset Shimmer helped me defeat you at the Friendship Games.
You and your friends can never truly defeat me.
(laughs manically)
(screaming)
Midnight Sparkle's a part of you.
I'll always be there
waiting in the darkest shadows of your mind.
I'll be back, Twilight!
And this time I won't stop until I have all the magic.
No, stop!
Twilight, wake up.
We can't stop, silly.
We're not there yet.
Hey, are you okay?
I'm fine.
We are gonna have so much fun.
We're gonna roast marshmallows and eat marshmallows
and sleep on marshmallow pillows!
Yeah, probably not gonna do that.
Maybe you're not.
Attention, students.
We're almost there, but before we arrive
we just wanted to say how proud we are of you
for raising enough money to go on this class field trip.
When we were your age,
we made some of our favorite memories in these woods
and we're sure you will too.
Now who's excited for Camp Everfree?
(cheering)
(cheerful camp music)

Isn't Camp Everfree just beautiful?
I can't wait until we have our first nature walk.
I definitely wanna go on one of those.
You wanna see all the adorable woodland creatures, too?
Yeah, specifically squirrels.
More specifically, so I can chase 'em!
(barking and panting)
I'm just lookin' forward to roughin' it.
I'm gonna make my own shelter, forage for food--
Uh, you know they provide us with food and tents, right?
Yup! Still gonna forage though.
(sigh) I'm just after some R and R.
The past year has all been a bit too much for my tastes.
I'll say!
We fought three evil sirens
who tried to hypnotize everybody with their singing,
one ridiculously competitive rival school,
and two demon friends!
Uh, (giggles) no offense.
None taken.
You'll get used to it.
Yup, Canterlot High has become a regular magic magnet.
Gonna be nice gettin' away to a place
where we don't have to worry about that kinda stuff.
Here you go, Twilight.
Thanks, it's Flash, right?
Yup, that's me!
And you're you.
And we don't know each other very well.
Cool story, bro.
Right.
I guess I'll see you around.
You know how there's that girl who looks just like you
when she's here but lives in another dimension
and she's a pony princess?
Uh-huh.
Flash kinda had a thing for her.
Oh.
(microphone feedback)
Hi, everyone!
If you could start heading to the courtyard,
that would be rad!
It's time to start the best week of camp ever!
(campers conversing)
Hi, everyone!
Welcome to Camp Everfree!
I'm Gloriosa Daisy, your camp director.
Think of me as your friendly camp and nature guide
and this is my brother, Timber Spruce.
Think of me as that awesome guy
who should always be invited to fun things.
We aim to please,
so before we hand out our tent assignments,
we'd like to hear from all of you.
You're free to do whatever you like here.
Uh, except hike near the rock quarry,
that's off limits.
Yes, but otherwise, your options are wide open.
So what activities will make this
the very best week of your lives ever?
Rock climbing! Done!
Archery! Of course!
Tetherball! Naturally!
Rainbow, I know you're excited
but maybe give somebody else a chance to make a suggestion.
Arts and crafts!
My mom needs new pot holders.
I'll supply the looms.
Cookie decorating! (slurps)
Ooh, I do make a mean sugar cookie.
Early morning nature walks?
With walking sticks for everyone!
Oh, me!
Oh, uh, a fashion show
where I design the most fabulous camp looks
inspired by today's hottest trends
and have them modeled by my classmates
in a gorgeous outdoor setting!
A camp tradition!
We have literally never done that.
I'll be taking requests the rest of the time you're here
so if there's anything you'd like to do,
anything you need, just ask.
But what about the camp gift?
That was my favorite Camp Everfree tradition.
The camp gift, of course!
Really? Yes, really.
Well, I just thought--
Then you thought wrong!
Anyone else picking up on a little tension
between Gloriosa and her brother?
[Both] Uh...
Little.
Every year, campers work together
to create something useful.
A gift for future campers.
Working toward this common goal
is key to forming the strong bonds
that will last well beyond your time here at camp.
Which is why it's so important.
This gazebo was a gift from last year's group.
Oh, oh, oh, and the totem pole and the sundial
were also made by campers!
The sundial was our year's gift!
(Coughing) Even though some people
thought it was a little impractical
since the sundial can't be used at night.
(chuckles) You all seem like a really amazing group
so I'm certain you'll come up with something
inspiring to leave behind.
(campers cheering)
Speaking of leaving things behind,
now's the time when we give out tent assignments
so you can leave your heavy bags behind.
Girls will be getting their assignments from Timber.
Guys, you're with me.
Oh, boy!
Yay! I'm in the emerald tent!
Woo, me, too!
Aquamarine. Me, too!
Woo-hoo! Oh, yeah!
I got Amethyst.
Sapphire. Me, too!
I mean, I'm assuming I am.
Technically, sapphires aren't just blue.
They can be pink, purple, yellow--
Yeah, but they're mostly blue
that's why they're named after the Latin word, sapphires.
That means, "blue".
I know. (giggles)
But did you know that sapphires
are just rubies without chromium?
No.
But did you know that sapphire tent is the best one?
No, why's that?
Because you're in it.
Oh, I bet you say that to all the campers.
Not true.
You're in the Ruby Tent?
Ha, that's the worst one!
Ah, man!
I'm just jokin', buddy.
Ruby tent is great.
It's like a sapphire, but with chromium.
(giggling)
But the ruby and coral tents
do look an awful lot alike to the undiscerning eye.
I better show you where it is.
See you around.
-(giggling) -What?
Heh, nothin'.
Ooh, that was adorable!
(whistle blows)
Okay, everyone, go get settled in.
We'll be meeting at the docks in 15 minutes
to go over some camp safety rules.
Let me know if you need anything!
(dark instrumental music)
I need somethin'.
Filthy Rich, so nice to see you.
What are you doing here?
Camp is just getting started.
Just takin' in the scenery, Gloriosa Daisy.
It's so (chuckles) relaxing.
Well, you can look around when camp is over!
Now, if you don't mind.
Fine.
(limo drives away)
Filthy Rich is, uh, an alumni of the camp.
He likes to check on his old stomping grounds
every now and again.
But enough about him.
Find your tents and put away your things.
We've got the best week of camp ever to begin!
(birds chirping)
(sigh) I'm all for learning safety rules
but I do hope I can get started on my designs
for the camp fashion show sooner rather than later.
Huh, I still can't believe you talked Gloriosa
into havin' a fashion show.
We're in the middle of the woods for cryin' out loud!
We're s'posed to be roughin' it!
It's clear from Gloriosa's own wardrobe
that she appreciates a well put together look.
Even if we are in the middle of the woods.
Fair enough.
Just as long as you don't put me in one
of your fancy pants outfits.
You're gonna, aren't ya? No.
Yes! (giggles)
Don't worry, it will absolutely speak
to your personal sense of fashion.
(spooky music, imitates ghost)
That was weird back there, right?
With that guy, Filthy Rich?
Huh? Oh, I guess so.
I just have this feeling that Gloriosa's hiding something.
Her brother is pretty cute though, huh?
He's okay.
Ooh, now look who's trying to hide something.
No, I'm not!
Hey, you okay?
You seemed a little freaked out on the bus earlier.
Probably had another one of her nightmares.
I'm fine.
I mean, what do I have to complain about?
Ever since I transferred here,
everyone from CHS has been really nice and accepting.
Especially considering what happened
at the Friendship Games.
That wasn't your fault.
Principal Cinch is the one who encouraged you
to try and use all that magic
to win the games for Crystal Prep.
You weren't ready to have that kind of power
but it's over now.
And if there's any group that's gonna forgive you
for something that happened in the past,
trust me, it's this one.
You guys comin' or what?
Be right there!
I just wanna put on some sunscreen.
Huh, I coulda sworn I packed it.
Found it!
(mystical music)
Did you?
How is this possible?
I can't believe this.
It's...
-terrible. -Amazing!
Are you kidding?
This is great!
I mean, we've all ponied up before.
Gotten the whole ears and wings and tail thing.
Shot magical rainbow lasers.
But nothing like this has ever happened.
How did you do it?
I don't know.
Maybe I didn't.
Maybe it's her.
Her, who?
Nothing, never mind.
Can we just not talk about it?
And could you please not bring this whole
levitating thing up to the others?
Why not?
You heard Applejack.
This is supposed to be a place
where everyone can get away from magic.
I don't want them to know I brought some
crazy, new kind with me.
If you really don't want me to,
I won't say anything.
I really don't.
Okay but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
(sigh)
(suspenseful orchestral music)
(sigh)
I think you're just gonna have to pick it up.
(groans)
Don't act like that!
What did you say?
I didn't say anything.
Just here to make sure
everyone was headed over to the docks.
Did you need something?
Nope.
Because if there is anything I can do
to make this week the best week ever,
you just let me know.
I've got this!
Thanks, I'm good.
People that chipper make me nervous.
This is gonna be so much fun!
I guess not all people.
(sigh) It's beautiful, isn't it?
It looks like a diamond shining in the sun.
It is lovely out here.
The fresh air, the cool breeze.
(bird chirping)
The birds that land on your finger.
I think that only happens to you.
Lake activities are available everyday until sunset
so if you want to canoe, sail, windsurf, or swim
just let me know.
(ducks quacking)
Aren't they just the cutest?
(shouts)
Whoa.
I know I'm charming but
you don't have to fall for me.
(sigh)
Guess I can't get too jealous, right?
After all, she isn't my Twilight.
Not that the other Twilight was mine.
But we were, you know.
Yeah, I get it.
But your Twilight is a princess in Equestria.
Hate to break it to ya but,
that's where she's gonna spend most of her time.
So you're saying I just need to get over her?
Kinda, yeah.
Ouch!
You're not pulling any punches.
Not really my style.
Sorry.
This is a safety hazard.
I suggest we close down the dock
for the remainder of the camp.
(campers complain)
Oh, I'm sure it won't have to be
for the remainder of camp.
It just needs to be patched up a bit.
I've got this!
Huh, or maybe we do.
If you ask me, this whole dock needs to go.
(thump)
Building a new one could be our camp gift.
Sure, it would benefit us
but a nice new dock would benefit future campers, too.
I don't know.
It's an awful lot of work.
I wouldn't want you guys to miss out on
doing other camp stuff because you're so busy
building a dock for future campers.
I hear what you're saying, Timber,
but we're Canterlot Wonderbolts.
We've got a reputation to uphold
and there was no way we were gonna leave this place
without contributing the most awesome camp gift ever!
I'm with AJ.
Building a new dock is definitely it!
What do you guys think?
(campers cheer)
Looks like it's settled then.
Looks like it.
That's some tension, all right.
We can reinforce the foundation.
Make it nice and sturdy.
And we can add a wood carved sign
that says, Camp Everfree.
And little boxes of food
so you can feed the ducks and fishies.
Oh, we'll add lanterns so you can see at night.
(gasps) It's stunning!
And will make an absolutely perfect runway
for my camp fashion show.
More importantly,
it'll be a great place for dockin' canoes
and feeding the wildlife.
You say tomato, I say perfect place to showcase
glamorous Boho-chic stylings.
What do you guys think?
It's going to be a lot of work but we can do it!
Yeah, adult supervision!
Huh, nice hammer.
Where'd you get it?
Uh, duh, the toolbox.
Huh, that's cool.
I made mine.
(groans)
Making lanterns out of solar powered garden lights.
Pretty crafty there, Timber.
You think that's crafty?
You should see my macaroni art.
I'm like the Picasso of noodles.
(giggling)
All right now, you've made a lot of progress
but it's going to be getting dark soon.
We can pick this up tomorrow
between our other camp activities.
Everyone get cleaned up
and we'll gather by the fire pit at eight
to share s'mores and scary stories!
S'mores!
And that's when she looked down
and realized she was wearing
purple socks with a burgundy dress! (screams)
Purple and burgundy, darlings.
The same color family. (screams dramatically)
Uh, that was a terrifying story.
Yeah, I'm terrified she'll try to tell it again.
(clears throat) Anyone else have a spooky story?
I have one.
But I'm warning you,
you might as well hug a friend now.
That's how scary it is.
(gasps) Oh, dear.
(teeth chattering)
It's time I told you about the legend
of Gaia Everfree!
(spooky music)
Many years ago, (chop)
my great grandparents came to this forest.
Seeing it's beauty,
they decided that it would be the perfect place for a camp.
But once they started building
strange things started to happen.
One pitch black night,
when the wind was howling,
a tree branch thrashed through the roof of their cabin.
They screamed and ran outside
only to see a giant creature rising from the earth.
She had wild hair like the roots of a tree.
He mouth had jagged rock teeth
and her eyes were pools of black tar.
But her aura shimmered like diamonds.
Anywhere she went, she left a trail of gem dust in her wake.
Trembling, my great grandparents asked
who she was and what she wanted.
In a deep and hallow voice she told them
that her name was Gaia Everfree,
an ancient spirit who held domain over the forest
and that my great grandparents
were trespassing on her land.
They begged her to let them stay and build their camp
to share this wonderful place with others.
Gaia Everfree finally agreed but warned them
that they would not be able to keep it forever.
Someday she would return and reclaim the forest as her own.
So if you see a trail of gem dust,
you'll know that it is,
Gaia Everfree!
(screaming)
Hey, guys.
Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
Then why'd you come out of the bushes?
I took the scenic route because
the forest is beautiful at night.
But no one else should do it without a guide, okay?
All right, everybody, time to head to your tents.
Hey, Gloriosa, do you have extra toothbrushes?
I forgot mine.
Sure do, I'll get one for you.
I'm scared of the dark.
Do you have flashlights?
Of course, I got this!
(grunting) Fluttershy.
Sorry, Spike.
I guess that story got to me.
Why? It can't be real.
I don't know.
Gaia Everfree could be some creature
that got booted from Equestria
and ended up in this world.
That's what happened with the Sirens.
Uh, sounded more like something that Timber
was making up just to scare us.
At least, I hope it was.
Last thing that I want is to have camp ruined
by some power-crazed magical creature.
Oh, hear, hear.
We've had to deal with more than our fair share of those.
At the Fall Formal, our musical showcase,
the friendship ga-- (stammers)
I mean, you know.
Everything turned out all right, of course.
(giggles nervously)
I'm kinda tired.
I'm gonna turn in.
Maybe lay off bringing up what happened
at the Friendship Games.
I think she's still pretty sensitive about it.
Our lips are sealed.
(birds chirping)
(snoring)
Here I am.
Over here.
(dark sinister music)
(fire explodes)
I'm always here!
No!
What happened?
Nothing.
Sorry, Sunset.
Uh, Twilight, I think something happened.
(screams)
(yelp)
(sigh) Is it time to get up already?
Twilight, we really have to talk about this.
No, we don't.
(light guitar music)
(bird squawks)
Hey, I know you don't want to
but I really think we need to figure out
what's going on with your magic.
If you could learn to control it--
But that's just it,
I'll never be able to control it!
(crash)
What happened?
I didn't mean to.
We didn't see anything
so we don't know what happened.
Are you okay?
Yeah, it was so weird.
We were stuck in the middle of the lake with no wind
then all of a sudden, bam!
The wind picked up and we were pushed right into the dock.
(gasp) You don't think it was the spirit, do you?
No, it was me.
Spirit, show yourself.
The great and powerful Trixie commands it!
What's that?
Is that crystal dust?
How else can we explain it?
Man, all our hard work, ruined!
At least the fishies are eating well.
Let's salvage what we can out of the water.
Maybe we can still fix this.
We have to try!
- Camp Everfree needs a runway! - Dock.
Dock, yes, that's what I meant.
♪ It used to be so simple
♪ It was a world I understood
♪ I didn't know what I didn't know
♪ And life seemed pretty good
♪ But now the darkness rises
♪ From somewhere deep inside of me
♪ Her power overtakes me
♪ Can I keep Miss Midnight from getting free
♪ If I can see with the light
♪ I know I'll be free
♪ And I can start to be whole
♪ I can start to be me
♪ But instead I am struggling with all that I see
♪ And these friends
♪ Mustn't see the Midnight in me
♪ The Midnight in me
♪ They mustn't see the Midnight in
♪ Me
(curious music)
(mumbling)
So many squirrels.
Spike. (yelps)
(sigh) Aw, man.
I was having the best dream.
Wait, that dream could be a reality.
Before you run off to chase squirrels,
do you have any idea where Twilight could be?
I really need to talk to her.
What happened?
Did she do that lifting things off the ground thing again?
That's just it, I don't know if it was her
but if it was, we need to deal with it head on.
I can track her down.
Keep it together, deep breaths.
You are not a monster.
(shouts)
Oh, hi. (giggles)
What are you doing here?
Uh, looking for you.
Oh, I just went on a nature walk
and got a little lost.
Let me show you the way.
I'm kind of an expert at these woods.
I've lived here my whole life.
That must have been nice,
growing up at a camp.
Yeah, though it has it's downsides.
When I was younger I wished we sell this place
so we could live in a town like normal people.
Really?
I was 10.
I really wanted to hang out at the mall.
(chuckling)
I've never told that to anyone.
You must be special.
And not just because you have a tree branch in your hair.
(gasps) How long has that been in there?
Not long, just the whole time we were talking.
Well, why didn't you say something?
I guess we could help Twilight deal
with the magic stuff a little later.
(bright upbeat music)
Rock climbing is all about perseverance and trust.
Rarity, you can trust that Applejack will spot you.
Yeah, so you can totally go faster than you're going.
Rainbow Dash!
Sorry, I've been waiting to do this since we got here.
Well, you'll have to wait a little longer, darling.
Oh, good, Twilight,
if you spot me I can finally go.
I'll go get another harness.
I'm not sure--
I better make sure my sister doesn't need anything.
See you later.
Twilight, there you are.
I was looking for you. (earth rumbles)
(campers shouting)
Was that an earthquake?
We aren't near any fault lines.
Hey!
Who left this crystal-y, dusty stuff here?
(yelps)
I really would like to come down now.
Sorry, it's a little bit stuck.
(screams)
Applejack!
What are you doing?
Is everything okay over there?
I don't know what happened.
I didn't even pull the rope that hard.
It's like she was light as a feather all of a sudden.
I was scared half to death!
It wasn't my fault!
Let me help you get your harness off.
No, thank you!
(yelps)
(splash)
What in the world just happened?
Oh, dear, I am so sorry, I think.
Did I just do, whatever that was?
I don't think it was your fault.
I'm gonna go get Applejack a towel.
Me too.
You're not the only one with a new kind of magic.
This is great!
No, it's not.
Rarity and Applejack could have really hurt each other.
Why is this happening?
- I don't-- - Hi, girls.
Anything I can do for you?
Applejack just fell into the lake.
Oh, no!
She's gonna need warm towels, dry clothes,
oh, and a hot cocoa.
I've got this!
(high-pitched scream)
Fluttershy?
(dramatic instrumental music)
What happened?
I don't know.
We were just decorating cookies.
And I was all, you need more sprinkles
and you need more sprinkles!
So, standard Pinky Pie stuff?
I was just tossing sprinkles to Fluttershy
when all of a sudden, it glowed pink and exploded.
(loud boom)
Just like that, only earlier.
Okay, why don't you lay off touching stuff for a while.
Oh, dear, we really should clean all of this up.
Can someone help me out?
(bird chirping)
Thank you, Mr. Bird.
(bird chirping)
Why, of course I can get you a little something to (gasps).
Did you just talk? (bird chirps)
But I don't speak chirp. (bird chirps)
Well, I don't know if you're the only bird I can understand.
(bird chirps)
Oh no, please don't call for your friends.
(birds chirping)
It's nice to meet all of you, too.
Were you just talking to the birds?
Um, yes.
(door opens, girl screams)
Did you tell them what happened?
So crazy.
I hoisted Rarity up the rock climbing wall
like it was nothing.
Like, I had way more strength than I usually do.
And I made a diamond-y thing appear out of nowhere,
which normally, I'd be excited about,
I mean the facets were just perfect and the--
Rarity!
Oh! Sorry.
It knocked Applejack over and then it disappeared.
Speaking of disappearing,
has anybody seen Rainbow Dash?
(gust of wind)
(crash)
Ow!
Woah, how'd you do that?
I don't know.
I started running to get the harness
and then the next thing I knew,
I was practically back in town.
Well, if you had some sort of super speed,
why were you gone for so long?
Because I lost it when I got far away
and then it came back when I got close to camp.
(gasp) Being at camp is giving us
all new magical abilities!
Not all of us have gotten new abilities.
I haven't but Twilight...
hasn't either.
(sigh) So much for my theory that leaving CHS
would mean leaving any new magic business behind.
Something at the camp must be making this happen.
Um, Gaia Everfree?
(creaking)
(screams)
Applejack, I was looking for you.
Here, I brought you some towels and dry clothes.
Oh. What happened in here?
We're kinda tryin' to figure that out.
Well, don't worry about it.
I got this!
Gloriosa!
I kicked my beanbag into the lake.
I'll get you another one.
And I'm all out of arrows.
Say no more, new arrows coming right up.
There you are.
Filthy Rich is back.
You want me to handle it? Absolutely not!
I've got this! (screaming)
Fluttershy, enough with the screaming.
I didn't scream. For once.
Nobody did.
Huh?
(loudspeaker) Attention, campers,
anyone who's interested in making floating paper lanterns,
please meet us by the picnic tables.
I don't know about the rest of y'all,
but I've been lookin' forward to comin' here for a month.
Maybe we forget about this new magic for a bit
and just try to focus on enjoying our time at camp.
I was oh-so-excited about the designs
I've come up with for the camp fashion show.
And I've barely gotten to work anybody in tetherball.
I think we should try to figure it out
but if letting it go for now is what the rest of you want--
(girls cheer in agreement)
Um, Pinky Pie?
What are you doing?
Putting marshmallows in my lantern.
Then when we light them,
mine will be beautiful and delicious!
Hey, Twilight,
why aren't you with everyone else?
Sunset said something at camp is causing
the other girls to get new magic.
I think it's Midnight Sparkle.
She's still part of me, I can feel it.
And I think her magic is infecting my friends.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know what I can do.
Okay, everyone, it's time to watch your lanterns fly.
(bright upbeat music)
Hey, cool lantern.
Mine's my face.
(giggles nervously)
-Are you okay? -Mm-hmm.
You don't seem like yourself tonight.
Ready, and go!
(bright enchanting music)
Aw, oh well, now I get to eat it.
Yup, beautiful and delicious.
(bright enchanting music)
(snoring)
(gasp) Twilight?
Twilight!
Where is she going?
(dark suspenseful music)
(branch snaps) Twilight?
What are you doing out here?
We're meeting a cab to take us home.
She thought you'd talk her out of it.
Because I would.
Twilight, you can't leave.
You don't think it was the spirit, do you?
No, it was me.
I think it's Midnight Sparkle.
She's still part of me, I can feel it.
And I think her magic is infecting my friends.
Twilight, there's no Midnight Sparkle.
There's only you.
How did you know what I was thinking?
When I touched your hand,
I could see things.
I could understand why you were leaving.
My new magic.
This is my new magic.
This is incredible!
No, it's not.
I'm infecting you now.
Twilight, you have to stop looking at this as a bad thing.
Easy for you to say.
Magic turned you into something beautiful.
The last time I tried to use it,
it turned me into a monster.
I'm just so afraid it's gonna happen again.
Yes, last time I turned into something amazing
but I've let magic turn me into a monster, too.
So if anyone understands what you're going through,
it's me.
I can help you, Twilight,
and the rest of our friends
can be there for you too,
but not if you run away.
(sigh) I'll stay.
But I still don't think it's a good idea
for me to be near the rest of our friends right now.
Not until we know why this is happening.
Understood.
(branch breaks)
What was that?
(screaming)
Wait, Twilight?
Timber?
I'm so glad it's just you.
Wait, what are you doing out here?
With an ax?
I was chopping down firewood.
In the middle of the night?
We needed more for tomorrow night's campfire
and if I didn't take care of it tonight,
it would be one more thing Gloriosa would add to her list.
I've got this!
(giggling)
What about you two?
Why are you hanging out in the woods
in the middle of the night?
Oh, I was sleep walking.
Twilight found me and was bringing me back to camp.
-Mm-hmm. -Come on,
I'll walk you guys back.
I'll protect you from
Gaia Everfree.
Everfree, Everfree!
Come on, that's obviously just a spooky story
you made up to tell around the campfire.
Oh no, it's legit.
How else would you explain what happened at the docks?
And that weird thing where the earth shook?
Come on, I know a shortcut back to the tents.
(twinkling sparkles)
Legit, huh?
I think we just found our Gaia Everfree.
But why would he work so hard
to make us think she was real?
You heard what he said about
wishing his sister would sell this camp.
If nobody wants to come here because
it's home to some angry, ancient nature spirit,
it sure would help his cause.
We should tell Twilight.
Not yet.
She's obviously going through a lot right now.
We should probably be 100% sure before we tell her
the guy she likes is a jerk
who's tryin' to run everybody out of camp.
Uh-Huh.
(hammering)
(dock creaks)
Phew!
Ugh, you gonna give us a hand here, Rarity?
I would love to,
but I really need to get the stitching on this poncho done
if it's going to make it into the camp fashion show.
Though at the pace you two are moving,
I don't know that the runway will ever be finished.
The dock is our gift to the camp
and it's gonna get finished.
That is if Rainbow Dash would hurry up
and bring me more wood.
I can't go any faster.
I don't wanna end up in the woods again.
Don't be silly.
Really?
(sigh) I know I said we should try to forget
all about this new magic business, but I can't.
What if I hammer the board into splinters?
Uh-huh.
Oh shoot, I'm all outta nails.
Oh, here you go.
Pinky, don't!
(sigh)
What?
Ooh, did you think the nails
would explode like the sprinkles?
Wow, glad that didn't happen, huh?
Sorry girls, I didn't mean to.
I don't know how to control this.
It's okay.
None of us do.
Which is why we shouldn't pretend this isn't happening.
Do you have them now too?
It started last night.
When I touch people,
it's like I can feel what they're feeling
and see their memories.
Ooh, fancy!
Try me, try me!
(cheering and singing)
Ooh, taffy!
That explains so much.
Yup!
Girls, we can't just brush these powers aside
because it doesn't seem like the ideal time to get them.
What if it turns out that they could
actually make things better?
♪ So you have magic
♪ And it's not that great
♪ But when it found you
♪ You know it was fate
♪ And it might seem scary now
♪ But it could be wonderful too
♪ So how about we embrace the magic
♪ And make the magic part of you
♪ You take a little dash of magic
♪ And you let it ignite
♪ Mix things up a little bit
♪ And it might start to go right
♪ In just five seconds flat
♪ How the story has changed
♪ All 'cause now you've embraced the magic
♪ And it just got better in every way
♪ I say embrace the magic
♪ No more holding back just let it out
♪ If you can take the magic
♪ And learn a little more what it can do
♪ Once the magic is part of you
♪ What's standing in your way
♪ That you can't move today
♪ You've got the strength in you
♪ To make your dreams come true
♪ No need to shield yourself
♪ From the magic that can help
♪ Protect from any harm that might come
♪ So you have magic
♪ And it's not that great
♪ But when it found you
♪ You know it was fate
♪ So if you listen close
♪ You might make a new friend
♪ And together we can make it
♪ I say embrace the magic
♪ No more holdin' back just let it out
♪ If you can take the magic
♪ And learn a little more what it can do
♪ Once the magic is part of you
Okay, that was pretty awesome.
And look what you managed to accomplish.
Please, please, please,
can we do our run-through for the fashion show
on it, right this minute?
I thought you weren't finished
with the stitching on your poncho?
I am now.
Get started without me.
I gotta go find Twilight.
Seeing what we've been able to do here
might make her embrace the new magic, too.
Uh, not that she has any.
I just wish you didn't tell them that ridiculous story!
Ah! This is all too much for you.
You have to let it go!
I knew it, he wants her to get rid of the camp.
(door squeaks)
Sunset Shimmer?
What were you doing behind that door?
What? Um, nothing.
I um, lost an earring.
Uh, there it is.
Hey, listen, I'm glad I ran into you.
I really wanted to thank you.
For what?
For the tough love.
Telling me I should get over Twilight.
I needed to hear that.
Sure, no problem.
Is something wrong?
What? No, why?
Come on, Sunset.
We used to date.
I know when something's bothering you.
(sigh) Okay, here's the deal.
My friend really likes someone
but I don't think that someone is who she thinks they are.
I don't wanna upset my friend by telling her what I think
because I also wanna protect her because
if what I think is happening, is really happening,
then she deserves to know, you know?
No.
But what I do know is that your friend
is lucky to have someone like you to looK out for them.
Really?
Yeah.
You know, you've changed a lot since we went out.
You're so much,
nicer.
Thanks, I'm glad you noticed.
Look, maybe you and me, we could start over as friends.
Uh, sounds great.
I gotta go.
Cool, yeah, I wanna start over later too.
(dark mysterious music)
(earth rumbles)
Shoot!
He's definitely up to something.
(phone rings)
It's Sunset.
She says to meet her by the rock quarry.
But I thought we weren't supposed to hike out that far.
She says it's important.
What is that? (screams)
Shh!
(dark mysterious music)
What's going on down there?
I think it's Gaia Everfree or rather,
someone who wants us to think she's back.
Come on.
(dark suspenseful music)
Whoa, this place is beautiful.
There's Equestrian magic here.
I can--
I can feel it.
Wait, I thought Timber was just faking
there was a magical nature creature.
Are you saying it's real?
Timber?
What does he have to do with any of this?
Nothing.
It's all me.
Gloriosa?
But Timber.
I was sure he was the one trying to make it seem
like Gaia Everfree was back.
It was you who was trying to scare everyone away?
I would never try to scare anyone away from Camp Everfree.
Now, now, you fell behind on your payments, Gloriosa.
I own the land now.
Please, my great grandparents founded this place.
It's been in our family for generations.
You have to let the camp stay.
Instead of turning it into a spa resort
that will line my pockets with more money
than this camp ever could?
(chuckles) I don't think so.
But please, I--I--
I just need a little more time.
Fine, I'll give you 'till the end of the month.
(weeping)
What'll I do?
(mystical music)
(explosion)
(coughing)
Wow.
You don't know what those things are.
But I know what they can do!
I've been practicing.
I can control their power now.
You don't know that for sure.
This is our camp and it's being taken away.
If this has to be our last week here,
I'm going to use whatever it takes to make it count!
(earth rumbles)
You were using magic all over the place.
I had to tell them something to cover for you.
What did you want me to do?
I just wish you didn't tell them that ridiculous story!
Ah! This is all too much for you.
You have to let it go.
Timber wasn't talking about letting go of the camp.
He was talking about you letting go of the magical geodes.
All those things you were doing
to make this week, the best week ever,
every time you used magic to do them,
it caused another problem somewhere else.
Timber was covering for you.
How do you know what I was doing with the geodes?
How do you know about the magic?
I can see things, feel things
because I have magic, too
and so does she, and so do our friends.
Gloriosa, Timber wasn't wrong.
Maybe you should stop using magic.
Too much of it can be dangerous if you can't control it.
Oh, I got this.
And I'm going to use it to save my camp.
I just need more power.
No!
(dark music, electric shock)
Sorry, girls, I know what I need to do
but I feel like we're not on the same page, so...
Gloriosa!
(dark mystical music)
No!
(bright upbeat music)
(giggling)
Where are Twilight and Sunset?
Oh, they're missing our dress rehearsal.
I suppose we can get started without them.
Whenever you're ready!
(upbeat pop music)
Told you, you'd like it.
It's all right, I guess.
I do get to keep it after camp, though, right?
(dark sinister music)
(water fountain squeaks)
She looks different.
Yeah, she looks taller.
(upbeat pop music)
This is only a preview.
I've got another entire line I'll debut at the real thing.
(record scratches)
Why did you stop the--
(gasp) Oh my goodness!
Attention, campers!
It's Gaia Everfree!
She's real!
Ah, we're doomed!
Gloriosa?
What are you doing?
That's Gloriosa?
Am I goin' crazy or are her feet not touchin' the ground?
Freaky-Deaky!
I have an announcement to make!
Filthy Rich wants this to be
the last session of Camp Everfree,
but don't worry,
I got this!
(slam, earth rumbles)
(screaming)
Oh, come on!
We literally just finished building that!
♪ I have waited for the day
♪ To send this greedy wolf away
♪ Now the magic is my salvation
♪ Gather close in my protection
♪ We will
♪ Stand for Everfree
♪ Behold the beauty of nature in all it's glory
♪ No need to fear the vultures at the door
♪ Right here you have me to protect you
♪ Within these walls of thorns
♪ For Everfree, forever more
♪ They have come into our domain
♪ Here to seal our camp in chains
♪ But we have held it for generations
♪ This is just a complication
♪ We will
♪ Stand for Everfree
♪ Trust in me, this is for your own good
♪ Don't be afraid
♪ Nature is our friend
♪ All of this beauty that surrounds us
♪ Every lovely bloom
♪ Designed to defend
♪ Let them come, just let them try
♪ I'm not about to say goodbye
♪ This camp will be here throughout the ages
♪ Bring me to the history pages
♪ We will
♪ Stand for Everfree
(sigh) Why do these kinds of things always happen to us?
What are we going to do?
What we always do.
Save the day!
(cheering) Let's do it!
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
This is gonna be so much fun!
I only wish we had time to make superhero capes!
Oh, me too.
Enough about our wardrobe.
We've gotta stop Gloriosa from trapping everybody in here.
(screaming)
(sweet innocent music)
Hi, do you think you can give us a hand or paw?
We could really use a way out. (animals chatter)
(heroic music)
(animals chatter)
(loud boom)
(dark music)
(yelp)
(sparkles boom)
This isn't working.
Her magic is too strong.
(dog growls)
Nice work, Spike.
(grunting)
Twilight, you have to use your magic.
I don't think I can lift something that big.
It's our only chance of getting our of here
and helping our friends.
(heroic music)
(branches snapping)
Why are you fighting me?
I'm doing this to save our camp!
I'm doing this for you.
(chuckles nervously) Gloriosa,
let's just think about this for a moment, shall we?
I mean, I think Camp Everfree is absolutely delightful
but I just don't know that I'm quite ready
to give up my weekly trips to the spa.
To the spa. (mimics)
To the spa! (dark sinister music)
(yelping)
Gloriosa, this isn't the way.
I appreciate your concern, Timber,
but I got this!
(yelps, dark sinister music)
No, you don't!
(shouts) Twilight, do you think you can use your magic?
I don't wanna use too much,
Midnight Sparkle could take over.
Twilight, our friends are in there.
Okay.
Please, Gloriosa, what you're doing is crazy.
You have to listen to me!
That isn't Gloriosa.
Twilight! Sunset!
You're okay.
That isn't your sister,
it's someone who's been consumed by Equestrian magic.
Whoever you are, you have to let my sister go.
Please, Gloriosa, come back.
I need you.
Gloriosa!
(dark sinister music)
(lighting strikes)
Rarity!
I can't keep this up forever.
It's up to you.
You can use your magic to pull the brambles apart.
No, there's too many of them.
It would take too much magic, I can't!
It's the only way.
You have to embrace the magic inside you.
But what if she takes over?
What if, instead of saving everyone,
I turn into Midnight Sparkle and only make things worse?
That won't happen.
We won't let it.
(diamond shield cracking)
(heroic music)
Come on, Twilight, you have to be stronger than she is.
(laughs maniacally) You will never control me.
I will always be a part of you.
No!
Twilight, listen to me, you are in charge.
You are a light, darling, a force of good.
Yeah, you can kick the darkness's butt!
We're here for you, Twilight.
And we'll be here, no matter what.
We believe in you.
You are not Midnight Sparkle!
No, I am Twilight Sparkle
and the magic I carry inside me is
the magic of friendship.
(explodes)
No! (yelps)
(triumphant instrumental music)
(explodes)
(sparkles twinkling)
(campers gasp)
Gloriosa?
What, what happened?
It's okay.
It's gonna be okay.
(campers applaud and cheer)
You did it!
Oh, nice bling.
What are these?
I'm not sure.
But clearly we have some kind of connection to them.
I almost don't care what they are,
they are gorgeous!
(gasp) And will totally go with the other collection
I was working on for the camp fashion show. (giggles)
That's probably canceled, isn't it?
I am so sorry.
I only wanted this to be the best week
Camp Everfree has ever had
and instead, I've made it the worst.
Maybe it's for the best
that I'm losing the camp to Filthy Rich.
No, it's not.
This camp has meant so much to so many people.
My sister and me included.
Why do you think we wanted our students to come here?
We can't let Filthy Rich take this place away.
If camp meant so much to you two,
maybe it meant as much to the other campers
who came here in years past.
And maybe we can get them to help save it!
Oh, like a fundraiser?
Or a ball?
Our band could play.
I could help write a new song just for the occasion.
(campers chatter)
Those are all good ideas,
but where would we hold it?
We could hold it in the crystal cave.
(gasp) A crystal ball, I love it!
I admire everyone's enthusiasm, really I do.
But I just don't know how we're going to
plan a ball by tomorrow and invite everyone.
We got this!

Thank you all so much for coming
and for helping us raise enough money to
save Camp Everfree!
(cheering)
Thank you for everything.
(sigh) If I just asked for help in the first place.
(chuckles) Don't sweat it!
It's kinda what we do.
Not to brag or anything,
but it's pretty cool how I saved all those campers
from those rubus fruticosus.
Blackberry brambles.
I'm familiar with the genus.
It's just a little weird you say you saved the campers.
I thought I saved them.
Yeah, but I saved you from falling on the dock
so that you could save the campers.
So, technically, it was all me.
(giggles) I'm really glad I met you.
Uh-oh.
What?
That sounds like a goodbye
and here I was hoping we'd still be able to hang out.
Maybe get dinner and catch a movie?
Yeah, I'd really like that.
Oh good, I was hoping that's what this meant.
(sweet romantic music)
Oh, uh,
(chuckles) sorry.
I need to borrow Timber.
There are some donors I really want him to meet.
They were good friends with mom and dad.
-Save me a dance, okay? -Uh-huh.
Adorable.
He does seem like a pretty cool guy.
You know what else is cool?
Our awesome, new superpowers!
I handed out like 400 flyers,
set up the stage,
and still had time to pick up pizza.
I love my super speed.
About that, I think the crystals
are the source of the superpowers.
You're not gonna ask us to give them up, are you?
No, in fact, I think maybe,
we were meant to have them all along.
Me too. (cheering)
(soft tender music)
There is one thing I'm still wondering about, though.
What's that?
Where did the magic that hit this cave come from?

Or is it fifth?
I've lost track.
All that matters is that the runway is finished.
I think you mean, the dock.
Oh, ta-mato, tomato.
Let's celebrate!
(sparkles explode)
(gasp)
D-H-X.
(Hasbro jingle)
