I have lots of reasons!

In fact, I wrote them down.

You've been hanging around
Twilight for too long.
14
00:00:32,565 --> 00:00:33,766
Reason number one:
15
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:36,535
I invited Dragon Lord
Ember to Ponyville today.
16
00:00:36,602 --> 00:00:39,205
Reason two, the Dragon
Lord is a dragon.
17

Reason three: she's coming here
to learn more about friendship.
18
00:00:42,175 --> 00:00:43,542
According to Ember's letters,
19
00:00:43,609 --> 00:00:45,344
the dragons are
trying to be friends,
20
00:00:45,411 --> 00:00:46,579
but competing is
in their nature
21
00:00:46,646 --> 00:00:48,747
and it's leading to
more and more fights.
22
00:00:48,814 --> 00:00:50,850

reason number four:
23
00:00:50,917 --> 00:00:53,319
The Dragon Lord wants my advice!
24
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:55,554

Equestrian Friendship Ambassador
25

can't let her down.

Thorax and Ember feel special
183
00:07:49,001 --> 00:07:51,003
and keep them apart
for a few more hours.
184
00:07:51,070 --> 00:07:52,605
We can do this.
185
00:07:54,106 --> 00:07:56,609
Ah! What's happening?
186
00:08:00,245 --> 00:08:04,016
I think it's the map!
It's calling ... you!
187
00:08:04,083 --> 00:08:07,185
Apparently, you also have to
solve a friendship problem.
188
00:08:07,252 --> 00:08:09,622
♪ [horror sting] ♪
189
00:08:12,758 --> 00:08:15,193
The map is calling me?
190
00:08:15,260 --> 00:08:20,766
Amazing, the map is
really reaching out.
191
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:22,734
Not a good time,
I get it.
192
00:08:22,801 --> 00:08:24,336
Spike, are you here?
193
00:08:24,403 --> 00:08:26,772
Ember's eaten all of
Twilight's decorations and--
194
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:28,708
Oh hey, Twilight.
195
00:08:30,342 --> 00:08:31,643

that's not good.
198
00:08:37,116 --> 00:08:38,217
I KNOW!
199
00:08:39,418 --> 00:08:42,321
At least your friendship
problem is in Ponyville?
200
00:08:42,388 --> 00:08:44,823
OK, OK, to pull this
off, I'm going to need
201
00:08:44,890 --> 00:08:46,592
both of you to help.
202
00:08:46,659 --> 00:08:48,060
You two need to keep
Ember and Thorax
203
00:08:48,127 --> 00:08:50,028
separate while I
get ice cream.
204
00:08:50,095 --> 00:08:51,897
You mean find the
friendship problem.
205
00:08:51,964 --> 00:08:53,198
Yes.
206
00:08:53,265 --> 00:08:54,733
Go easy on me.
207
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,102
I'm under a lot
of pressure!
208
00:08:58,771 --> 00:09:00,038
Friendship Problem?

Anypony got a

Any problems to solve?

Friendship problems?
212
00:09:08,447 --> 00:09:09,749
Friendship Problems!
213
00:09:11,850 --> 00:09:13,919
Anypony got a
friendship problem here?
214
00:09:13,986 --> 00:09:15,588
No? OK.

00:09:17,923 --> 00:09:21,093
Well, I think vanilla
strawberry cream is overused!
216
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,294
Hmph.
217
00:09:22,361 --> 00:09:23,329
Yes! Fighting!

00:09:24,396 --> 00:09:27,199
Uh, I mean, what seems
to be the problem?

[burp]
220
00:09:33,238 --> 00:09:35,674
Ember, there you are!
221
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:38,877
OK... right,
more pony hugs.
222
00:09:38,944 --> 00:09:41,179
How's your trip to
Ponyville so far?
223
00:09:41,246 --> 00:09:43,982
Well, I'm certainly learning
a lot about friendship.
224
00:09:44,049 --> 00:09:46,184
I had no idea it was polite
to decorate your walls
225
00:09:46,251 --> 00:09:47,687
in your friends' favorite foods.
226
00:09:50,089 --> 00:09:52,324
Heh heh. Oh, my...
227
00:09:52,391 --> 00:09:54,059
Where'd Spike and Starlight go?
228
00:09:54,126 --> 00:09:56,228
I feel like I'm being avoided.
229
00:09:57,763 --> 00:10:00,399
No! They're just making
sure everything is perfect
230
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:02,934
for your welcome party later.
231
00:10:03,001 --> 00:10:05,203
In the meantime, how about
I show you around town?
232
00:10:05,270 --> 00:10:06,304
Sounds good.
233
00:10:06,371 --> 00:10:08,173
I can't exactly learn
about friendship
234
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,675
if I don't make new friends.
235
00:10:12,478 --> 00:10:13,679
[sigh]

[startled] Oh!
238
00:10:19,384 --> 00:10:21,219
Hey
Thorax...
239
00:10:21,286 --> 00:10:24,189
Twilight and Spike had some
boring official paperwork
240
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:27,059
to deal with, so looks like
you and I get to hang out.
241
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:28,427
What would you like to do?
242
00:10:28,494 --> 00:10:30,228
But I wanted to
talk with Spike.
243
00:10:30,295 --> 00:10:32,230
He said he'd be right back.
244
00:10:32,297 --> 00:10:35,267
You will, but first how
about we grab a bite to eat?
245
00:10:35,334 --> 00:10:38,804
You know, now that you've said
it, I am a little hungry.
246
00:10:38,871 --> 00:10:40,205
Is there a dining
room in the castle?
247
00:10:40,272 --> 00:10:42,274
NO!
248
00:10:42,341 --> 00:10:46,078
... I mean yeah, but
that's castle food.
249
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:48,247
If you want the good
stuff, we gotta go to town.
250
00:10:51,250 --> 00:10:53,118
[phew]
251
00:10:53,185 --> 00:10:55,053
... and that's why you should
never let cupcake flavors
252
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,222
get in the way of
your friendship.
253
00:10:57,289 --> 00:11:00,826
I guess I never thought of it
that way. Thanks, Spike.
254
00:11:03,428 --> 00:11:05,297
Oh, come on! Glow!
255
00:11:05,364 --> 00:11:06,732
Spike!
256
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:08,233
There you are!
257
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:10,302
Done with your boring
paper work I see.
258
00:11:10,369 --> 00:11:13,438
Ha ha ha!
259
00:11:13,505 --> 00:11:18,076
Yup, I am done with whatever
Starlight says I was doing...
260
00:11:18,143 --> 00:11:20,378
Thorax wanted to get
out of the castle.
261
00:11:20,445 --> 00:11:24,216
I thought coming to town was
a really, really great idea.
262
00:11:24,283 --> 00:11:26,452
Well! Maybe now we can talk.
263
00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:30,088
Sure.
264
00:11:30,155 --> 00:11:31,456
I'll leave you guys to it.
265
00:11:31,523 --> 00:11:35,060
First of all, I want to say
thank you for having me over.
266
00:11:35,127 --> 00:11:36,962
I'm in a bit of a
leadership pickle
267
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:38,564
and I could use
some advice.
268
00:11:38,631 --> 00:11:43,301
Well, I definitely want to help
you out as quickly as possible.
269
00:11:43,368 --> 00:11:46,304
Here's my problem: there's this
renegade group of changelings
270
00:11:46,371 --> 00:11:48,306
who still feed off of love.
271
00:11:48,373 --> 00:11:51,877
Even though I said, "Hey, let's
not do that anymore," they say,
272
00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:53,879
"Hey this is how we've
been doing things
273
00:11:53,946 --> 00:11:55,480
for hundreds of years."
274
00:11:55,547 --> 00:11:57,349
but it's like they don't
want to even though
275
00:11:57,416 --> 00:11:58,818
I'm the leader and I
asked politely...
276
00:12:02,421 --> 00:12:07,559
[interested chatter]
277
00:12:07,626 --> 00:12:09,094
Hello.
278
00:12:09,161 --> 00:12:12,798
I am Ember, daughter of Torch,
winner of the Gauntlet of Fire
279
00:12:12,865 --> 00:12:14,800
and lord of all dragons!
280
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,201

[screams]
282
00:12:19,438 --> 00:12:22,274
Usually when I do that, the
dragons are eager to meet me.
283
00:12:22,341 --> 00:12:25,076
That's not how
ponies make friends.
284
00:12:25,143 --> 00:12:27,480
Ahh, I get it.
285
00:12:30,249 --> 00:12:32,918
This is a weird friendship
thing you ponies do, right?
286
00:12:32,985 --> 00:12:34,487
[splat]
287
00:12:40,292 --> 00:12:42,994
Uh... you guys
are in town, too?
288
00:12:43,061 --> 00:12:44,362
What are you
talking about?
289
00:12:44,429 --> 00:12:46,164
You've been with
me this whole time.
290
00:12:46,231 --> 00:12:48,000
No, I'm Starlight.
291
00:12:50,969 --> 00:12:52,404
Riiiiight.
292
00:12:52,471 --> 00:12:54,439
I'm sorry, but you
can't blame me.
293
00:12:54,506 --> 00:12:56,508
You both look and
act so much alike.
294
00:12:56,575 --> 00:12:58,510
What?
295
00:12:58,577 --> 00:13:01,947
And they said to me just
keep saying the same thing.
296
00:13:02,014 --> 00:13:05,116
You know I think my leadership
problems started in childhood.
297
00:13:05,183 --> 00:13:07,385
I must've been three when ...
Three's a different story --
298
00:13:07,452 --> 00:13:08,787
and you definitely
gotta hear it,
299
00:13:08,853 --> 00:13:11,990
but the story about my
brother was when I was two...
300
00:13:12,057 --> 00:13:13,258
Or was I one?
301
00:13:13,325 --> 00:13:14,326
This is my seat!
302
00:13:14,393 --> 00:13:15,527
I saw it first.
303
00:13:15,594 --> 00:13:17,263
Well, I got here first.
304
00:13:18,964 --> 00:13:20,366
Thorax, excuse me for a second.
305
00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:25,404
Ponies, please.
306
00:13:25,470 --> 00:13:29,475
If I may, I think I can help
solve this friendship problem.
307
00:13:31,510 --> 00:13:33,612
You two should sit together.
308
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,647
You both like the same place;
you both ordered muffins;
309
00:13:35,714 --> 00:13:36,715
you're both ponies.
310
00:13:36,782 --> 00:13:38,516
I think if you made
a little effort,
311
00:13:38,583 --> 00:13:40,186
you'd find that you
have a .... whoa!
312
00:13:41,954 --> 00:13:43,455
OK, that had to have done it.
313
00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:45,057
Come on spikes, glow.
314
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,462
Hey, that was
really great advice.
315
00:13:50,529 --> 00:13:52,364
So what do you
think I should do?
316
00:13:54,733 --> 00:13:56,167
[gasp]
317
00:13:56,234 --> 00:13:58,603
Actually, I uh need a minute.
318
00:13:58,670 --> 00:14:02,274
Alone. To really come
up with great advice.
319
00:14:02,341 --> 00:14:03,608
I'll be right back!
320
00:14:03,675 --> 00:14:05,911
Great. No problem.
321
00:14:05,978 --> 00:14:07,512
Leave me again...
322
00:14:07,579 --> 00:14:09,681
It's fine.
323
00:14:09,748 --> 00:14:15,053
I'm just saying, you're both
purple ponies with purple hair.
324
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,623
You both have cutie marks
with sparkle-y things.
325
00:14:18,690 --> 00:14:21,593
Mine's more of
a glimmer!
326
00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:23,929
How is that different?
327
00:14:23,996 --> 00:14:25,664
Oh, good, Spike.
328
00:14:25,731 --> 00:14:28,099
Can you please tell
these two I'm right?
329
00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:30,201
They look very similar.
330
00:14:30,268 --> 00:14:33,638
Well, you know, one thing
friends do is let something go
331
00:14:33,705 --> 00:14:36,007
when it's upsetting
somepony else.
332
00:14:36,074 --> 00:14:37,442
But I'm right.
333
00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:40,378
Besides, who are you to be
telling me about friendship?
334
00:14:40,445 --> 00:14:42,948
I've barely seen
you all day!
335
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:45,417
I've seen you...
336
00:14:45,484 --> 00:14:47,219
Are you calling me a liar?
337
00:14:49,087 --> 00:14:51,223
Hey! No one yells
at my friend!

Spike, get away from the bear!
341
00:15:00,198 --> 00:15:03,335
Actually the bear's a changeling
and he's quite gentle.
342
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:04,970
Not anymore!

Back away, Spike, I'm not
going to let this dragon
350

harm a scale on your back!
351

You back away! I'm not
going to let you harm him!

00:15:50,615 --> 00:15:51,950
And it's all my fault!
361
00:15:52,016 --> 00:15:55,320
My title of Equestria's
Friendship Ambassador is a lie--
362
00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:58,089
Oh. Hey. You guys
aren't fighting?
363
00:15:58,156 --> 00:16:00,025
Why would we be fighting?
364
00:16:00,092 --> 00:16:02,027
Because I accidentally
invited you both
365
00:16:02,094 --> 00:16:04,796
over to Ponyville
on the same day?
366
00:16:04,863 --> 00:16:07,065
Both: So what?
367
00:16:07,132 --> 00:16:10,068
So, I was trying
to keep you apart,
368
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:12,204
because I didn't
think you'd get along.
369
00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:15,774
Oh, I get it.
370
00:16:15,841 --> 00:16:18,376
You thought he wouldn't like me
just because I'm a dragon
371
00:16:18,443 --> 00:16:20,478
and I'm bad at friendship?
372
00:16:20,545 --> 00:16:23,081
No! No! Of course not! But...
373
00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:25,817
Wait, isn't that
why you're here?
374
00:16:25,884 --> 00:16:29,587
I can say I'm bad at friendship;
you can't say it about me!
375
00:16:29,654 --> 00:16:31,723
You know what? I don't
want to talk about it.
376
00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:33,725
Wait, please...
377
00:16:33,792 --> 00:16:36,394
[sigh] I'm sorry.
378
00:16:36,461 --> 00:16:38,229
No, no. It's cool.
379
00:16:38,296 --> 00:16:40,565
You thought I'd be too soft
and someone like Ember
380
00:16:40,632 --> 00:16:43,835
would never respect me, just
like my own changelings.
381
00:16:43,902 --> 00:16:45,303
No, that's not it!
382
00:16:45,370 --> 00:16:47,172
Thorax! Wait!
383
00:16:47,239 --> 00:16:48,807
Oh, no.
384
00:16:48,874 --> 00:16:50,376
What have I done?
385
00:16:51,843 --> 00:16:53,045
[splash]
386
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:01,419
Why are you still here?
387
00:17:01,486 --> 00:17:05,523
[sigh] Because I'm having
trouble leading my pack.
388
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:08,193
So I don't really
want to go home.
389
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:10,628
Wait, you're in charge?
390
00:17:10,695 --> 00:17:13,865
Ho boy, you need to
be more assertive.
391
00:17:13,932 --> 00:17:17,302
That's my problem,
I don't know how.
392
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:20,438
I tried asking them to please
follow my directions
393
00:17:20,505 --> 00:17:22,173
and I even offered
a prize and--
394
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,176
SHH! Stop talking.
395
00:17:25,911 --> 00:17:27,712
That's how you do it.
396
00:17:27,779 --> 00:17:30,548
Whoa. That just
gave me chills.
397
00:17:30,615 --> 00:17:32,183
I know you have
it in you.
398
00:17:32,250 --> 00:17:34,752
You turned into a
bear to defend Spike.
399
00:17:34,819 --> 00:17:37,522
I guess I can be tough when
I'm defending my friends.
400
00:17:37,589 --> 00:17:42,427
But when I'm just enforcing my
rules, I feel unsure of myself.
401
00:17:42,494 --> 00:17:44,429
There's nothing to
be unsure of.
402
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:46,531
You're the leader
for a reason.
403
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:48,466
Make a decision and
let it be known
404
00:17:48,533 --> 00:17:50,502
that the decision is final.
405
00:17:50,569 --> 00:17:52,704
And if that doesn't
work, turn into a bear.
406
00:17:52,771 --> 00:17:54,239
[chuckle]
407
00:17:54,306 --> 00:17:55,573
That's good advice.
408
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,242
I know it is.
409
00:17:57,309 --> 00:17:59,144
So what's your deal?
410
00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:01,146
Why do you think you're
so bad at friendship?
411
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:02,780
I don't want to
talk about it.
412
00:18:02,847 --> 00:18:04,516
Oh, you have to.
413
00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:06,285
How else are you gonna
solve your problems?
414
00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:11,456
Through feats of strength
and fire duels, of course.
415
00:18:11,523 --> 00:18:13,224
Hiyah!
416
00:18:13,291 --> 00:18:15,360
[whoosh]
417
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:17,362
[explosion]
418
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:19,464
Uh,...how did that help?
419
00:18:19,531 --> 00:18:21,399
Crushing another
dragon in competition
420
00:18:21,466 --> 00:18:25,236
establishes my dominance
and makes me feel great!
421
00:18:25,303 --> 00:18:27,939
Right, but how do
you think they feel?
422
00:18:28,006 --> 00:18:29,807
Humiliated! Ashamed!
423
00:18:29,874 --> 00:18:32,177
They probably want to run
away and bury themselves
424
00:18:32,244 --> 00:18:33,711
under a rock and...
425
00:18:33,778 --> 00:18:35,380
... never come out.
426
00:18:35,447 --> 00:18:37,248
They're probably sad.
427
00:18:37,315 --> 00:18:38,550
Kinda low.
428
00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:40,552
Definitely not happy.
429
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:43,655
That's because that kind of
competition can divide you.
430
00:18:43,722 --> 00:18:45,857
And it doesn't get to
the heart of the issue.
431
00:18:45,924 --> 00:18:48,927
Talking about your
feelings does.
432
00:18:48,994 --> 00:18:49,961
Achoo!
433
00:18:50,028 --> 00:18:51,763
[whoosh]
434
00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:53,831
I think I'm allergic
to feelings.
435
00:18:53,898 --> 00:18:57,769
You know you don't have to be
sappy or huggy-feely about it,
436
00:18:57,836 --> 00:19:00,972
but you should let your
friends know how you feel.
437
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:02,908
I know where
we can start.
438
00:19:03,975 --> 00:19:05,210
Where?
439
00:19:05,277 --> 00:19:07,312
Oh. Spike.
440
00:19:07,379 --> 00:19:08,313
I got there.
441
00:19:11,049 --> 00:19:12,684
I think they're gone.
442
00:19:12,751 --> 00:19:14,586
They probably never
want to see me again.
443
00:19:14,653 --> 00:19:15,587
[thud]
444
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:17,755
Or ... they want
to see you now.

LET ME TALK ABOUT THIS!
449
00:19:25,297 --> 00:19:27,366
I feel...
450
00:19:29,367 --> 00:19:30,468
... mad.

452
00:19:31,536 --> 00:19:34,539
OK, that's a good
first attempt.
453
00:19:34,606 --> 00:19:36,842
Now maybe try to
be more specific.
454
00:19:41,346 --> 00:19:42,380
I'm...

00:19:42,447 --> 00:19:43,481

I KNOW I DO.
459
00:19:48,486 --> 00:19:50,722
And I know I need to
tell you how I feel
460
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:54,492
because my friend, Thorax said
it would make me feel better.
461
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:55,960
AND IT DOES!
462
00:19:56,027 --> 00:19:58,363
Yeah! And I have no
problem telling you
463
00:19:58,430 --> 00:19:59,597
what you did
was wrong
464
00:19:59,664 --> 00:20:01,399
because my
friend Ember

00:20:01,466 --> 00:20:02,800
is helping me be
more assertive.

I was so worried about
how it could go wrong,

how it could go right.

I really do
feel better.

the friendship problem

by not trusting your friends.
