[ FANFARE PLAYS ] AH!
IT'S STARTING! I'M MISSING IT!
[ SIGHS ]
OH, THANKS, ANGEL.
[ SPROING! SPROING! ]
I MEAN, IF YOU HADN'T REMINDED ME,
I MIGHT HAVE NOT REMEMBERED, AND THEN I WOULDN'T BE THERE
AND EVERYPONY WOULD BE WONDERING WHERE I WAS AND --
OH, RIGHT. I'M LATE.
[ RATTLING ]
OH, OKAY, THEN. SEE YOU LATER.

[ GULPS ]
NO ONE. NEVER MIND. I'LL GO HOME.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, SIRS. SHE'S ON THE LIST.
THANKS, TWILIGHT.
I'M SO GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT, FLUTTERSHY.
IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.
[ BELL DINGS ]
HOW'S EVERYPONY DOING? GOOD? GOOD.
ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN GET FOR YOU, DEARIES --
OOH! I-I MEAN, ESTEEMED GUEST.
EVERYTHING IS FINE, MR. AND MRS. CAKE.
SORRY I'M LATE.
I HAD TO FINISH TAKING CARE OF A PATIENT FIRST.
OH, YOU AND YOUR TENDER-LOVING CARE OF LITTLE ANIMALS.
I JUST KNOW PRINCESS CELESTIA'S GONNA LOVE THAT ABOUT YOU.
I MEAN, I HOPE SHE WILL.
I MEAN [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY] OF COURSE SHE WILL.
WOW, TWILIGHT, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
WHO GOT NERVOUS AT SOCIAL GATHERINGS.
OH, IT'S NOT THAT.
I JUST WANT THE PRINCESS TO APPROVE OF MY FRIENDS.
BUT SHE'S MET US ALL BEFORE.
AND READ ABOUT YOU IN MY LETTERS.
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SHE'S SPENT ANY REAL TIME WITH YOU.
I WANT EVERYPONY TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION.
WELL, I'M SURE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
BESIDES, IT'S JUST A CASUAL GET-TOGETHER, RIGHT?
DON'T TOUCH ME! WATCH THE DRESS!
CAREFUL! YOU'RE GONNA SPILL THAT ON ME!
OH, OOH, THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS.
WHAT IS IT?
OHH! DOES IT STAIN?!
KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME!
OR PERHAPS NOT THAT CASUAL.
UH, WHICH IS THE SALAD AND WHICH IS THE APPETIZER AGAIN?
AND WHICH AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT FIRST?
AW, NEVER MIND. I'M NOT HUNGRY.
IT'S OKAY, TWILIGHT.
SO OUR FRIENDS' MANNERS AREN'T PERFECT.
I DOUBT THE PRINCESS WILL EVEN NOTICE.

[ SLURPS ]
GOTCHA!
OH!
AND WHAT ABOUT YOU, DEAR? FLUTTERSHY, IS IT?
ME? OH, YES, YOUR HIGHNESS.
I UNDERSTAND FROM TWILIGHT SPARKLE'S LETTERS
THAT YOU ENJOY TENDING TO THE NEEDS OF WOODLAND CREATURES.
YES, I LOVE TO TAKE CARE OF ANIMALS.
AS DO I.
AS PRINCESS, I CARE DEEPLY
ABOUT ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL.
[ COUGHS ]
NOTHING MEANS MORE TO ME
THAN THE WELL-BEING OF ALL MY SUBJECTS.

AH, PHILOMENA, MY PET. YOU'RE AWAKE.
DO SAY HELLO TO OUR GRACIOUS HOSTS.

I'M SORRY, EVERYPONY.
I'M AFRAID I HAVE TO CUT THE PARTY SHORT.

ROYAL DUTY CALLS. THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL TIME.
IT'S BEEN A JOY GETTING TO KNOW YOU ALL BETTER.
[ SQUEAK! ]
PHEW!
NOW I CAN EAT SOMETHING!
I'M STARVED!
[ CLATTER! CLATTER! ]

ALL I WANT IS A CLEAR PATH TO THE EXIT.
NOBODY MOVE, AND MY DRESS WON'T GET HURT!
STAY BACK! BACK, I SAY!
[ SLURPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
WELL, SPIKE, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE
HOW THINGS WENT WITH THE PRINCESS,
BUT AT LEAST NO BIG DISASTERS HAPPENED.
[ DOOR SQUEAKS ]
OH, YOU POOR, LITTLE THING.
HOW DID YOU EVER GET IN SUCH BAD CONDITION?
DON'T YOU WORRY, PHILOMENA.
I'LL NURSE YOU BACK TO HEALTH AS A FAVOR TO THE PRINCESS,
WHO'S OBVIOUSLY JUST FAR TOO BUSY TO CARE FOR YOU PROPERLY.
[ COUGHS ]
I'M SURE THE PRINCESS WILL APPRECIATE THE HELP.
[ WARBLE! ]
OH, MY!
WE'D BETTER GET YOU TO BED RIGHT AWAY.
THERE.

I BROUGHT A FELLOW FEATHERED FRIEND BY TO CHEER YOU UP.

BETTER?
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

DON'T WORRY. YOU'RE GONNA GET BETTER.

YOU'RE WORSE THAN EVER.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
[ ZOOM! ]
HI, FLUTTERSHY.
I JUST WANTED TO DROP BY AND SAY THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
FOR MAKING SUCH A GOOD IMPRESSION ON THE PRINCESS TODAY.
[ GASPS ]
WHAT IS CELESTIA'S PET DOING HERE?!
I COULDN'T LEAVE THE POOR THING THERE.
SHE NEEDED MY HELP.
OH, NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
THIS IS BAD!
HOW COULD I JUST WALK AWAY AND NOT DO ANYTHING?
BUT -- BUT -- SHE DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU!
I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.
WITHOUT TELLING ANYPONY?! WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION?!
BUT -- [ COUGHS ]
I KNOW YOU HAD GOOD INTENTIONS,
BUT YOU HAVE GOT TO RETURN THE PRINCESS'S PET!
BUT --
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
[ SIGHS ] YOU'RE RIGHT.
OKAY, LET'S...
[ COUGHS ]
...GO.
[ STRETCH! ]
[ THUNK! ]
IF WE HURRY, WE CAN PUT HER BACK
BEFORE ANYPONY EVEN REALIZES SHE'S MISSING.
[ GASPS ]
WE WERE TOLD WE COULD FIND TWILIGHT SPARKLE HERE.
WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU, MISS,
THAT THE ROYAL PET HAS GONE MISSING.
REALLY? YOU DON'T SAY.
[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]
[ COUGHS ]
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
[ BOTH COUGHING ]
[ Hoarsely ] IT'S THAT DRY NIGHT AIR.
BUT IT'S DAYTIME.
WELL, DAY AIR'S EVEN DRIER. [ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]
YOU GUARDS BETTER BE ON YOUR WAY
IF YOU'RE GONNA FIND THE PRINCESS'S MISSING PET.
PHILOMENA, WAS IT?
THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR KEEPING ME IN THE LOOP.
BYE!
[ PANTING ]
PHEW!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
GOING TO RETURN PHILOMENA, REMEMBER?
WE CAN'T NOW!
WHY NOT?
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PRINCESS IS GONNA DO
IF SHE FINDS YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOOK HER PET, DO YOU?!
DO YOU?
WELL...NO.
BUT IT CAN'T BE ANYTHING GOOD.
SHE MIGHT BANISH YOU FROM EQUESTRIA...
OR THROW YOU IN A DUNGEON...
[ GASPS ]
...OR BANISH YOU AND THEN THROW YOU IN A DUNGEON
IN THE PLACE THAT SHE BANISHES YOU TO.
YOU REALLY THINK THE PRINCESS WOULD DO THAT?
OKAY, GRANTED THAT PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN,
BUT DO YOU WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES?
ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS TO ME
IS THAT POOR LITTLE PHILOMENA HERE GETS WELL.
[ COUGHS ]
THAT'S VERY NOBLE OF YOU.
I'LL WRITE TO YOU WHEN YOU'RE BANISHED,
UNLESS I'M BANISHED
TO SOMEWHERE THERE'S NO POST OFFICE.
THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO WRITE TO ME.
DEAL?
PLEASE, TWILIGHT.
YOU JUST HAVE TO HELP ME GET PHILOMENA HEALTHY,
AND THEN WE CAN RETURN HER TO THE PRINCESS,
AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
DID YOU GIVE HER ANY KIND OF MEDICINE?
I TRIED TO, BUT SHE WOULDN'T TAKE IT.
UGH!
THEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE HER TAKE IT.
YOU CAN'T BE SUCH A PUSHOVER, FLUTTERSHY.
YOU NEED TO SHOW THIS PATIENT WHO'S THE BOSS.
MAKE HER STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT!
SHE CAN'T FLY.
NO EXCUSES!
[ GULPS ]
DONE. OKAY, WHAT ELSE?
UH, WELL, SHE KEEPS PULLING HER FEATHERS OFF,
THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T FALLEN OUT YET
FROM ALL HER COUGHING, I MEAN.
[ COUGHS ]
THERE YOU GO.
[ THUNK! ]
[ STRETCH! ]
I DON'T THINK SHE LIKES IT.
TOUGH LOVE, BABY.
YOU WANT HER TO GET WELL, DON'T YOU?
OF COURSE, BUT -- NEXT!
WELL, SHE DESPERATELY NEEDS SOME BED REST,
BUT I CAN'T GET HER TO STAY PUT.
[ HONK! ]
[ Echoing ] ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOU.
IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, PHILOMENA, I PROMISE.
PLEASE JUST RELAX AND TRY TO GET SOME SLEEP.
WHAT'S THIS SOUP OVER HERE?
SMELLS DELICIOUS.
I MADE IT FOR PHILOMENA, BUT SHE WOULDN'T EAT IT.
OH, SHE'LL EAT IT, ALL RIGHT.
[ TINKLING ]
[ SQUAWKS ]
HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!
NO, PHILOMENA! COME BACK!

WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?
ARE YOU HAVING A RACE?
OH, CAN I PLAY? 1, 2, 3, GO!
MMM! [ MUNCH! MUNCH! ]
EXCUSE ME.
HI!
BEG YOUR PARDON.
PUT ME DOWN!
WHAT IN TARNATION?
SORRY, BUT WE'VE GOT TO FIND --
THE PRINCESS'S PET BIRD!
[ COUGHS ]
PHILOMENA, COME DOWN FROM THERE.
YOU'LL HURT YOURSELF.
[ WARBLE! BOING! ]

[ ALL GASP ]
[ WHIMPERS ]
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
TWILIGHT.
YES, YOUR MAJESTY.
THERE'S BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
IT'S ALL MY FAULT.
NO, PRINCESS.
FLUTTERSHY DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
IT WAS MY FAULT.
I'M THE ONE WHO DID IT.
BUT YOU WERE ONLY TRYING TO HELP.
SOME HELP I WAS.
WILL YOU LET ME DO THIS? SHE'LL GO EASIER ON ME.
BUT IT'S MY FAULT.
NO, IT'S MY FAULT.
WAIT. WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
THANKS FOR TRYING TO PROTECT ME, TWILIGHT,
BUT, PRINCESS CELESTIA, I'M THE ONE WHO TOOK YOUR PET BIRD.
I REALLY WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP THE POOR LITTLE THING.
THEN I WAS GONNA BRING IT RIGHT BACK TO YOU, HONEST.
SO, IF YOU WANT TO BANISH ME AND THEN THROW ME IN A DUNGEON
IN THE PLACE THAT YOU BANISH ME TO,
THEN THAT'S WHAT I DESERVE.
OH, STOP FOOLING AROUND, PHILOMENA.
YOU'RE SCARING EVERYPONY.
[ TINKLING ]
[ ALL GASP ]
WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!
I-I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT IS THAT THING?
WHAT HAPPENED TO PHILOMENA?
THIS IS PHILOMENA.
SHE'S QUITE A SIGHT, AS I SAID,
BUT NOTHING UNUSUAL FOR A PHOENIX.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT, PHILOMENA?
[ SQUAWKS ]
A-A PHOENIX?
A PHOENIX IS A MAJESTIC AND MAGICAL BIRD.
WHILE IT APPEARS HEALTHY AND HAPPY MOST OF THE TIME...
EVERY SO OFTEN, IT MUST RENEW ITSELF
BY SHEDDING ALL OF ITS FEATHERS AND BURSTING INTO FLAME.
Rather melodramatic, if you ask me.
IT THEN RISES FROM THE ASHES FRESH AS A DAISY.
ALL JUST A NORMAL PART OF THE LIFE CYCLE OF A PHOENIX.
I'M AFRAID MISCHIEVOUS LITTLE PHILOMENA HERE
TOOK THE OCCASION TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN WITH YOU, FLUTTERSHY.
SAY YOU'RE SORRY, YOUNG LADY.
[ WHIMPERS ]
SO, AREN'T YOU GONNA BANISH ME OR THROW ME IN A DUNGEON
OR BANISH ME THEN THROW ME IN A DUNGEON
IN THE PLACE THAT YOU BANISH ME TO?
OF COURSE NOT, MY LITTLE PONY.
WHERE ON EARTH WOULD YOU GET SUCH AN IDEA?
I GUESS I HAVE SOME IMAGINATION.
FLUTTERSHY REALLY DID DO EVERYTHING SHE COULD
TO TRY TO TAKE CARE OF PHILOMENA FOR YOU.
AND I DO APPRECIATE
THAT YOUR HEART WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE, CHILD,
BUT ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS ASK ME,
AND I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU PHILOMENA WAS A PHOENIX
AND SAVED YOU ALL THIS TROUBLE.
I KNOW.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE JUMPED TO CONCLUSIONS.
NEXT TIME, I'LL ASK
BEFORE TAKING MATTERS INTO MY OWN HOOVES.
[ POP! ]
SHOULD I WRITE YOU A LETTER ABOUT THAT LESSON, PRINCESS?
NO, THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT. I THINK I CAN REMEMBER.
[ COOS ]
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU, PHILOMENA.
NO HARD FEELINGS.
HMM.
Hey, you know what you should do?
You should go over and tickle.
