- Ughhh. - Do you know what today is?
Nope. But I think she's gonna tell-
FLUTTERSHY: Today's the day they re e-mailing
the winning troop for the Finn Tastic meet and greet!
(GASPS)
Grrrrr! Nothing yet!
Eh, Fluttershy, we all have something to tell you -
I have received it! - Huh?
Yes I have received the email!
- You did? - How?
That's impossi- oh.
Yes, it's right here and it says:
CONGRATULA-FINS!
We're the winners!
HURRAAYY! WOOHOO!
When do we leave?!
Er...
What are our travel plans?!
- Wellll I -- - What should we wear?
Ah yes! What should we wear, that!
I can answer--
Crafting!
Perfect!
Just as we've woven a Trail Trotters troop
from six colorful threads--
The threads are us.
--now we can weave friendship bracelets
just as beautiful, strong, and metaphorical.
I'm so happy we won together as a troop.
I couldn't have asked for a greater group of friends.
Us too, yes,
we are also happy for that same reason.
Yes yes yes,
We can show Finn Tastic the magic of our friendship
or what have you. (SMASH!)
Did someone say magic?
No one knows more about magic than the Great and Powerful-
Trixie! Did you just magically appear?
I've been here for five minutes.
- Wanna join us? - Say no more!
I'm going to make the most amazing friendship bracelet
for my bestest friend in all of Equestrai...
Trixie!
Glass beads because of my crystal clear wit.
Emerald clovers for being lucky and brave.
And, mirror beads because my reflection's
always there for me.
Hm. Still needs a finishing touch...
ooh! Perfect!
Like me!
INCOMING!
(SCREAMS, WOAH!)
Gah! Waahhhh!
(THUD!) Oh..
Eh, Trixie...might be confident in the magic part,
but... You might need to spend some time
brushing up on friendship part.
First of all, it's not a competition.
Friendship is free like a butterfly.
That you can put in a jar.
Forever.
Getting close to another pony is one part,
but learning about them is the other.
Just like with magic,
friendship takes a little bit of time and practice.
It s like, a precious stone,
that you must cherish, and polish,
and wear to the poshest of parties!
That s great and all for you ponies.
But every time Trixie tries to do friendship,
Trixie fails.
Just leave it to us
and we'll make you into a lean, mean, friendship-making machine!
All you need is...lot of pointers-
And a training montage.
♪
(CRASH!) PINKIE: Huh?
♪
YEAH! (CHEERING)
TRIXIE: It's finished!
Well now, I reckon that's a good friendship bracelet.
Trixie the Great and Powerful,
has become Trixie the Powerfully Grateful.
Thanks for showing me the true meaning of friendship...
I couldn't have done it without all of you.
I know now that it's not just about being the best...
it's about having the best friend --
--ship bracelet! And this is it!
Now prepare to be amazed by its...
magnificence!
TA-DA! (STRUGGLE NOISES)
Well technically it did bring us all together.
Why thank you!
This'll be such a funny story to tell Finn Tastic
when we meet him!
♪
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:: The target is in sight.
Commence heist mode.
This one's for you, Fluttershy.
Finn Tastic!!
Who are you?!
Why don't you trot on into my humble home away from the ocean
and tell me why I'm the subject of your fanciful break in?
And I'm keeping this.
Do you want me to autograph a piece of coral for you?
He's just as awesome as Fluttershy said!
Uh, Mr Finn Tastic, sir,
we broke into your trailer because...
we've been pretending to be a Trail Trotters Troop.
It got out of hand when our friend, your number one fan,
was working like crazy on badges and selling cookies to win
the meet and gr-eeee-eeee-eeet with you,
and it was too late to come clean to her!
I know everypony says they're your number one fan,
but - Fluttershy, she really is,
and we'd do anything to help her meet you.
I get it. I'd go to crazy lengths to meet me too.
So! where is this superfan? (THUD!)
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Can I meet Finn yet?
You're right. She is my biggest fan.
Eeeee!
Fluttershy! It's a pleasure!
Mr. Tastic. I'll be frank,
I had a whole speech planned but...ok...!
I'll just start at the beginning.
Ever since I was a young filly...enough about me.
Tell me about you, Finn.
Please, call me Finn Tastic.
They say don't meet your heroes,
but whoever said that never met Finn Tastic!
You can do no wrong.
Which is why in the spirit of the transparency I live by,
I must tell you that you didn t actually win the meet
and gr-eee-ee-eet with me.
Your friends fabricated this Trail Trotters Troop.
It's all a lie. (GASPS)
(WHIMPERING)
Now why would ya tell her that?!
I've learned in my life that you have to live truthfully
in order to pretend to be a variety of characters
on the big screen, including my Golden Pond winning
turn as Roger the-- --Singing Dolphin!
We know. - Trust me,
even if it's hard, it's better to be honest.
We owe her the truth.
- Yeah... - Let's hunt her down!
Or you know, find her and tell her the truth.
How could they lie about the very core of my existence?
The Trail Trotters were my everything,
now they are nothing.
With nopony to trust, no badges to earn,
and no celeb to idolize,
I'm doomed to wander this earth alone and angry
for the rest of my days.
I'll need plenty of space--
Oh! Space!
Funny...to cool down and move on with no friends
and no porpoise.
Three months later.
Ugh! I'm so mad!
My friends made up every part of Trail Trotters!
The badges, the cookies, the hiking, the laughing,
the memories!
But it was real.
I got everything I wanted from Trail Trotters.
My friends made it happen.
I'm missing my time with Finn!
And my friends!
Cut! We got it! That's the one.
Fluttershy, it's all my fault,
what have I done? (GASPS)
Fluttershy! You're back!
- I know it's been months-- - It's been literal minutes.
--but I needed that time to realize:
your intentions with creating Trail Frauders--
That's what I m calling the fraudulent Trail Trotters--
your intentions were good,
but your actions were so, so bad.
But when we got rejected from the troop,
you banded together to give me everything I wanted--
the cookies, the badges, meeting Finn--
and I've been missing out on it because I was mad.
But, staying angry was only hurting myself.
You really do have great friends, Fluttershy.
Not many ponies would go to these...
dramatic lengths...
just to make their friend happy.
(GASPS)
May I present, the winners
of the Trail Trotters meet and greet!
And as a reward for great friendship,
in spite of less than stellar honesty,
I appoint you six as Trail Trotter Leaders
for Troop 482.
That's this troop.
(CHEERING)
