You're getting yourself
worked up for no reason.

I have lots of reasons!

In fact, I wrote them down.
13

You've been hanging around
Twilight for too long.
14
00:00:32,566 --> 00:00:33,765
Reason number one:
15
00:00:33,834 --> 00:00:36,534
I invited Dragon Lord
Ember to Ponyville today.
16
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:39,204
Reason two, the Dragon
Lord is a dragon.
17
00:00:39,273 --> 00:00:42,107
Reason three: she's coming here
to learn more about friendship.
18
00:00:42,176 --> 00:00:43,541
According to Ember's letters,
19
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:45,343
the dragons are
trying to be friends,
20
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:46,578
but competing is
in their nature
21
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:48,746
and it's leading to
more and more fights.
22
00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:50,849

reason number four:
23
00:00:50,918 --> 00:00:53,318
The Dragon Lord wants my advice!
24
00:00:53,387 --> 00:00:55,553

Equestrian Friendship Ambassador

can't let her down.

00:07:49,002 --> 00:07:51,002
and keep them apart
for a few more hours.
183
00:07:51,071 --> 00:07:52,604
We can do this.
184
00:07:54,107 --> 00:07:56,608
Ah! What's happening?
185
00:08:00,246 --> 00:08:04,015
I think it's the map!
It's calling ... you!
186
00:08:04,084 --> 00:08:07,184
Apparently, you also have to
solve a friendship problem.
187
00:08:07,253 --> 00:08:09,621
♪ [horror sting] ♪
188
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:15,192
The map is calling me?
189
00:08:15,261 --> 00:08:20,765
Amazing, the map is
really reaching out.
190
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:22,733
Not a good time,
I get it.
191
00:08:22,802 --> 00:08:24,335
Spike, are you here?
192
00:08:24,404 --> 00:08:26,771
Ember's eaten all of
Twilight's decorations and--
193
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,707
Oh hey, Twilight.

that's not good.
197
00:08:37,117 --> 00:08:38,216
I KNOW!
198
00:08:39,419 --> 00:08:42,320
At least your friendship
problem is in Ponyville?
199
00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:44,822
OK, OK, to pull this
off, I'm going to need
200
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:46,591
both of you to help.
201
00:08:46,660 --> 00:08:48,059
You two need to keep
Ember and Thorax
202
00:08:48,128 --> 00:08:50,027
separate while I
get ice cream.
203
00:08:50,096 --> 00:08:51,896
You mean find the
friendship problem.
204
00:08:51,965 --> 00:08:53,197
Yes.
205
00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:54,732
Go easy on me.
206
00:08:54,801 --> 00:08:56,101
I'm under a lot
of pressure!
207
00:08:58,772 --> 00:09:00,037
Friendship Problem?

Friendship problems?
211
00:09:08,448 --> 00:09:09,748
Friendship Problems!
212
00:09:11,851 --> 00:09:13,918
Anypony got a
friendship problem here?
213
00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:15,587
No? OK.

00:09:17,924 --> 00:09:21,092
Well, I think vanilla
strawberry cream is overused!

Hmph.

Yes! Fighting!

to be the problem?

00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:38,876
OK... right,
more pony hugs.
221
00:09:38,945 --> 00:09:41,178
How's your trip to
Ponyville so far?
222
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:43,981
Well, I'm certainly learning
a lot about friendship.
223
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:46,183
I had no idea it was polite
to decorate your walls
224
00:09:46,252 --> 00:09:47,686
in your friends' favorite foods.
225
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,323
Heh heh. Oh, my...
226
00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:54,058
Where'd Spike and Starlight go?
227
00:09:54,127 --> 00:09:56,227
I feel like I'm being avoided.
228
00:09:57,764 --> 00:10:00,398
No! They're just making
sure everything is perfect
229
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:02,933
for your welcome party later.
230
00:10:03,002 --> 00:10:05,202
In the meantime, how about
I show you around town?
231
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:06,303
Sounds good.
232
00:10:06,372 --> 00:10:08,172
I can't exactly learn
about friendship
233
00:10:08,241 --> 00:10:09,674
if I don't make new friends.
234
00:10:12,479 --> 00:10:13,678
[sigh]

[startled] Oh!
237
00:10:19,385 --> 00:10:21,218
Hey
Thorax...
238
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:24,188
Twilight and Spike had some
boring official paperwork
239
00:10:24,257 --> 00:10:27,058
to deal with, so looks like
you and I get to hang out.
240
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:28,426
What would you like to do?
241
00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:30,227
But I wanted to
talk with Spike.
242
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:32,229
He said he'd be right back.
243
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:35,266
You will, but first how
about we grab a bite to eat?
244
00:10:35,335 --> 00:10:38,803
You know, now that you've said
it, I am a little hungry.
245
00:10:38,872 --> 00:10:40,204
Is there a dining
room in the castle?
246
00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:42,273
NO!
247
00:10:42,342 --> 00:10:46,077
... I mean yeah, but
that's castle food.
248
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:48,246
If you want the good
stuff, we gotta go to town.
249
00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:53,117
[phew]
250
00:10:53,186 --> 00:10:55,052
... and that's why you should
never let cupcake flavors
251
00:10:55,121 --> 00:10:57,221
get in the way of
your friendship.
252
00:10:57,290 --> 00:11:00,825
I guess I never thought of it
that way. Thanks, Spike.
253
00:11:03,429 --> 00:11:05,296
Oh, come on! Glow!
254
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:06,731
Spike!
255
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,232
There you are!
256
00:11:08,301 --> 00:11:10,301
Done with your boring
paper work I see.
257
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:13,437
Ha ha ha!
258
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:18,075
Yup, I am done with whatever
Starlight says I was doing...
259
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:20,377
Thorax wanted to get
out of the castle.
260
00:11:20,446 --> 00:11:24,215
I thought coming to town was
a really, really great idea.
261
00:11:24,284 --> 00:11:26,451
Well! Maybe now we can talk.
262
00:11:27,954 --> 00:11:30,087
Sure.
263
00:11:30,156 --> 00:11:31,455
I'll leave you guys to it.
264
00:11:31,524 --> 00:11:35,059
First of all, I want to say
thank you for having me over.
265
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:36,961
I'm in a bit of a
leadership pickle
266
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:38,563
and I could use
some advice.
267
00:11:38,632 --> 00:11:43,300
Well, I definitely want to help
you out as quickly as possible.
268
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:46,303
Here's my problem: there's this
renegade group of changelings
269
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:48,305
who still feed off of love.
270
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:51,876
Even though I said, "Hey, let's
not do that anymore," they say,
271
00:11:51,945 --> 00:11:53,878
"Hey this is how we've
been doing things
272
00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:55,479
for hundreds of years."
273
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,348
but it's like they don't
want to even though
274
00:11:57,417 --> 00:11:58,817
I'm the leader and I
asked politely...
275
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:07,558
[interested chatter]
276
00:12:07,627 --> 00:12:09,093
Hello.
277
00:12:09,162 --> 00:12:12,797
I am Ember, daughter of Torch,
winner of the Gauntlet of Fire
278
00:12:12,866 --> 00:12:14,799
and lord of all dragons!

[screams]
281
00:12:19,439 --> 00:12:22,273
Usually when I do that, the
dragons are eager to meet me.
282
00:12:22,342 --> 00:12:25,075
That's not how
ponies make friends.
283
00:12:25,144 --> 00:12:27,479
Ahh, I get it.
284
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:32,917
This is a weird friendship
thing you ponies do, right?
285
00:12:32,986 --> 00:12:34,486
[splat]
286
00:12:40,293 --> 00:12:42,993
Uh... you guys
are in town, too?
287
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:44,361
What are you
talking about?
288
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:46,163
You've been with
me this whole time.
289
00:12:46,232 --> 00:12:47,999
No, I'm Starlight.
290
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:52,403
Riiiiight.
291
00:12:52,472 --> 00:12:54,438
I'm sorry, but you
can't blame me.
292
00:12:54,507 --> 00:12:56,507
You both look and
act so much alike.
293
00:12:56,576 --> 00:12:58,509
What?
294
00:12:58,578 --> 00:13:01,946
And they said to me just
keep saying the same thing.
295
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:05,115
You know I think my leadership
problems started in childhood.
296
00:13:05,184 --> 00:13:07,384
I must've been three when ...
Three's a different story --
297
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:08,786
and you definitely
gotta hear it,
298
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:11,989
but the story about my
brother was when I was two...
299
00:13:12,058 --> 00:13:13,257
Or was I one?
300
00:13:13,326 --> 00:13:14,325
This is my seat!
301
00:13:14,394 --> 00:13:15,526
I saw it first.
302
00:13:15,595 --> 00:13:17,262
Well, I got here first.
303
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:20,365
Thorax, excuse me for a second.
304
00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:25,403
Ponies, please.
305
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:29,474
If I may, I think I can help
solve this friendship problem.
306
00:13:31,511 --> 00:13:33,611
You two should sit together.
307
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,646
You both like the same place;
you both ordered muffins;
308
00:13:35,715 --> 00:13:36,714
you're both ponies.
309
00:13:36,783 --> 00:13:38,515
I think if you made
a little effort,
310
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:40,185
you'd find that you
have a .... whoa!
311
00:13:41,955 --> 00:13:43,454
OK, that had to have done it.
312
00:13:43,523 --> 00:13:45,056
Come on spikes, glow.
313
00:13:47,961 --> 00:13:50,461
Hey, that was
really great advice.
314
00:13:50,530 --> 00:13:52,363
So what do you
think I should do?
315
00:13:54,734 --> 00:13:56,166
[gasp]
316
00:13:56,235 --> 00:13:58,602
Actually, I uh need a minute.
317
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:02,273
Alone. To really come
up with great advice.
318
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:03,607
I'll be right back!
319
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,910
Great. No problem.
320
00:14:05,979 --> 00:14:07,511
Leave me again...
321
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:09,680
It's fine.
322
00:14:09,749 --> 00:14:15,052
I'm just saying, you're both
purple ponies with purple hair.
323
00:14:15,121 --> 00:14:18,622
You both have cutie marks
with sparkle-y things.
324
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:21,592
Mine's more of
a glimmer!
325
00:14:21,661 --> 00:14:23,928
How is that different?
326
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:25,663
Oh, good, Spike.
327
00:14:25,732 --> 00:14:28,098
Can you please tell
these two I'm right?
328
00:14:28,167 --> 00:14:30,200
They look very similar.
329
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:33,637
Well, you know, one thing
friends do is let something go
330
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:36,006
when it's upsetting
somepony else.
331
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:37,441
But I'm right.
332
00:14:37,510 --> 00:14:40,377
Besides, who are you to be
telling me about friendship?
333
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:42,947
I've barely seen
you all day!
334
00:14:43,016 --> 00:14:45,416
I've seen you...
335
00:14:45,485 --> 00:14:47,218
Are you calling me a liar?
336
00:14:49,088 --> 00:14:51,222
Hey! No one yells
at my friend!

Spike, get away from the bear!
340
00:15:00,199 --> 00:15:03,334
Actually the bear's a changeling
and he's quite gentle.
341
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:04,969
Not anymore!
342
00:15:05,038 --> 00:15:06,371

00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:09,307
Ahh!
344
00:15:15,214 --> 00:15:18,148
My worst fears are happening!

No!

Back away, Spike, I'm not
going to let this dragon
349
00:15:29,529 --> 00:15:31,462
harm a scale on your back!
350
00:15:31,531 --> 00:15:35,032
You back away! I'm not
going to let you harm him!
351

Wait, did you say you're not
going to let me harm Spike?

Yeah!

Yeah, what?

Equestria as we know it is over!

The war that pits
changeling against dragon

is about to begin!

00:15:52,017 --> 00:15:55,319
My title of Equestria's
Friendship Ambassador is a lie--
361
00:15:55,388 --> 00:15:58,088
Oh. Hey. You guys
aren't fighting?
362
00:15:58,157 --> 00:16:00,024
Why would we be fighting?
363
00:16:00,093 --> 00:16:02,026
Because I accidentally
invited you both
364
00:16:02,095 --> 00:16:04,795
over to Ponyville
on the same day?
365
00:16:04,864 --> 00:16:07,064
Both: So what?
366
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:10,067
So, I was trying
to keep you apart,
367
00:16:10,136 --> 00:16:12,203
because I didn't
think you'd get along.
368
00:16:13,606 --> 00:16:15,773
Oh, I get it.
369
00:16:15,842 --> 00:16:18,375
You thought he wouldn't like me
just because I'm a dragon
370
00:16:18,444 --> 00:16:20,477
and I'm bad at friendship?
371
00:16:20,546 --> 00:16:23,080
No! No! Of course not! But...
372
00:16:23,149 --> 00:16:25,816
Wait, isn't that
why you're here?
373
00:16:25,885 --> 00:16:29,586
I can say I'm bad at friendship;
you can't say it about me!
374
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,722
You know what? I don't
want to talk about it.
375
00:16:31,791 --> 00:16:33,724
Wait, please...
376
00:16:33,793 --> 00:16:36,393
[sigh] I'm sorry.
377
00:16:36,462 --> 00:16:38,228
No, no. It's cool.
378
00:16:38,297 --> 00:16:40,564
You thought I'd be too soft
and someone like Ember
379
00:16:40,633 --> 00:16:43,834
would never respect me, just
like my own changelings.
380
00:16:43,903 --> 00:16:45,302
No, that's not it!
381
00:16:45,371 --> 00:16:47,171
Thorax! Wait!
382
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,806
Oh, no.
383
00:16:48,875 --> 00:16:50,375
What have I done?
384
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:53,044
[splash]
385
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:01,418
Why are you still here?
386
00:17:01,487 --> 00:17:05,522
[sigh] Because I'm having
trouble leading my pack.
387
00:17:05,591 --> 00:17:08,192
So I don't really
want to go home.
388
00:17:08,261 --> 00:17:10,627
Wait, you're in charge?
389
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:13,864
Ho boy, you need to
be more assertive.
390
00:17:13,933 --> 00:17:17,301
That's my problem,
I don't know how.
391
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:20,437
I tried asking them to please
follow my directions
392
00:17:20,506 --> 00:17:22,172
and I even offered
a prize and--
393
00:17:22,241 --> 00:17:24,175
SHH! Stop talking.
394
00:17:25,912 --> 00:17:27,711
That's how you do it.
395
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:30,547
Whoa. That just
gave me chills.
396
00:17:30,616 --> 00:17:32,182
I know you have
it in you.
397
00:17:32,251 --> 00:17:34,751
You turned into a
bear to defend Spike.
398
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:37,521
I guess I can be tough when
I'm defending my friends.
399
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:42,426
But when I'm just enforcing my
rules, I feel unsure of myself.
400
00:17:42,495 --> 00:17:44,428
There's nothing to
be unsure of.
401
00:17:44,497 --> 00:17:46,530
You're the leader
for a reason.
402
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:48,465
Make a decision and
let it be known
403
00:17:48,534 --> 00:17:50,501
that the decision is final.
404
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:52,703
And if that doesn't
work, turn into a bear.
405
00:17:52,772 --> 00:17:54,238
[chuckle]
406
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:55,572
That's good advice.
407
00:17:55,641 --> 00:17:57,241
I know it is.
408
00:17:57,310 --> 00:17:59,143
So what's your deal?
409
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:01,145
Why do you think you're
so bad at friendship?
410
00:18:01,214 --> 00:18:02,779
I don't want to
talk about it.
411
00:18:02,848 --> 00:18:04,515
Oh, you have to.
412
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:06,284
How else are you gonna
solve your problems?
413
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:11,455
Through feats of strength
and fire duels, of course.
414
00:18:11,524 --> 00:18:13,223
Hiyah!
415
00:18:13,292 --> 00:18:15,359
[whoosh]
416
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,361

417
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:19,463
Uh,...how did that help?
418
00:18:19,532 --> 00:18:21,398
Crushing another
dragon in competition
419
00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:25,235
establishes my dominance
and makes me feel great!
420
00:18:25,304 --> 00:18:27,938
Right, but how do
you think they feel?
421
00:18:28,007 --> 00:18:29,806
Humiliated! Ashamed!
422
00:18:29,875 --> 00:18:32,176
They probably want to run
away and bury themselves
423
00:18:32,245 --> 00:18:33,710
under a rock and...
424
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:35,379
... never come out.
425
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:37,247
They're probably sad.
426
00:18:37,316 --> 00:18:38,549
Kinda low.
427
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:40,551
Definitely not happy.
428
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:43,654
That's because that kind of
competition can divide you.
429
00:18:43,723 --> 00:18:45,856
And it doesn't get to
the heart of the issue.
430
00:18:45,925 --> 00:18:48,926
Talking about your
feelings does.
431
00:18:48,995 --> 00:18:49,960
Achoo!

00:18:50,029 --> 00:18:51,762
[whoosh]
433
00:18:51,831 --> 00:18:53,830
I think I'm allergic
to feelings.
434
00:18:53,899 --> 00:18:57,768
You know you don't have to be
sappy or huggy-feely about it,
435
00:18:57,837 --> 00:19:00,971
but you should let your
friends know how you feel.
436
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,907
I know where
we can start.
437
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:05,209
Where?
438
00:19:05,278 --> 00:19:07,311
Oh. Spike.
439
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:08,312
I got there.
440
00:19:11,050 --> 00:19:12,683
I think they're gone.
441
00:19:12,752 --> 00:19:14,585
They probably never
want to see me again.
442
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:15,586
[thud]
443
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:17,754

to see you now.

LET ME TALK ABOUT THIS!

00:19:25,298 --> 00:19:27,365
I feel...
449
00:19:29,368 --> 00:19:30,467
... mad.

451
00:19:31,537 --> 00:19:34,538
OK, that's a good
first attempt.
452
00:19:34,607 --> 00:19:36,841
Now maybe try to
be more specific.
453
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:42,379
I'm...

I KNOW I DO.
458
00:19:48,487 --> 00:19:50,721
And I know I need to
tell you how I feel
459
00:19:50,790 --> 00:19:54,491
because my friend, Thorax said
it would make me feel better.
460
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,959
AND IT DOES!
461
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,362
Yeah! And I have no
problem telling you
462
00:19:58,431 --> 00:19:59,596
what you did
was wrong
463
00:19:59,665 --> 00:20:01,398
because my
friend Ember

00:20:01,467 --> 00:20:02,799
is helping me be
more assertive.

how it could go wrong,

how it could go right.

feel better.

the friendship problem

by not trusting your friends.
