Celestia Monologue http://vocaroo.com/i/s0tuPKO88YNj Twilight Sparkle: ...and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since. Hmm... Elements of Harmony. I know I've heard of those before... but where? http://vocaroo.com/i/s0SeYQfwLJME Twinkleshine: There you are, Twilight! Moondancer is having a little get-together in the west castle courtyard. You wanna come? http://vocaroo.com/i/s142Wm8qOwTT Twilight Sparkle: Oh, sorry, girls... I've got a lot of studying to catch up on.   http://vocaroo.com/i/s0RhpbtMdad8 Twinkleshine: [sigh] Does that pony do anything except study? I think she's more interested in books than friends. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0glKk15RmXt   Twilight Sparkle: I know I've heard of the Elements of Harmony. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0VUqZkuTKM0     Spike: Ow! http://vocaroo.com/i/s1nY7Ndc2oyM     Twilight Sparkle: Spike! Spi-ike! Spike? http://vocaroo.com/i/s0lhi9DMpJtL     Spike: [groan] http://vocaroo.com/i/s03vq9z5iuJs     Twilight Sparkle: There you are. Quick, find me that old copy of Predictions and Prophecies. What's that for? http://vocaroo.com/i/s0nuPN2nW3zQ     Spike: Well, it was a gift for Moondancer, but... http://vocaroo.com/i/s0nNxUObuSW6     [squeak] http://vocaroo.com/i/s0h659H5UQ6U     Twilight Sparkle: Oh Spike, you know we don't have time for that sort of thing. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1qnSN6uDlWg     Spike: But we're on a break! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0IpFpH8p4yr     Twilight Sparkle: No, no, no... no, no, no!

Elements of Harmony, see: Mare in the Moon? http://vocaroo.com/i/s10vIRDXAfWk     Spike: Mare in the Moon? But that's just an old ponies' tale. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0xryDQL4M0M     Twilight Sparkle: Mare, mare... aha! The Mare in the Moon, myth from olden pony times. A powerful pony who wanted to rule Equestria, defeated by the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned in the moon. Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about nighttime eternal! [gasp] Spike! Do you know what this means? http://vocaroo.com/i/s0Wwg5prSReP     Spike: No-- whoa!  [smack]Ow! http://vocaroo.com/i/s1f07dlV3Qzs     Twilight Sparkle: Take a note please, to the Princess. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0KUNtzdhBSr     Spike: Okie dokie. http://vocaroo.com/i/s07FpEFdszsg     Twilight Sparkle: My dearest teacher, my continuing studies of pony magic have led me to discover that we are on the precipice of disaster! http://vocaroo.com/i/s1gAalAxLj8m     Spike: Hold on.

Ugh, that something really bad is about to happen! For you see, the mythical Mare in the Moon is in fact Nightmare Moon, and she's about to return to Equestria, and bring with her eternal night! Something must be done to make sure this terrible prophecy does not come true. I await your quick response. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. http://vocaroo.com/i/s19UWxoGf1Lf     Spike: Twilight Sparkle. Got it! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0mp5BpPefeh     Twilight Sparkle: Great! Send it. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0ws3eaZa6qA     Spike: Now? http://vocaroo.com/i/s1a18i3xrElv     Twilight Sparkle: Of course! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0MbXqMlaf6r     Spike: Uh, I dunno, Twilight, Princess Celestia's a little busy getting ready for the Summer Sun Celebration. And it's like, the day after tomorrow. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1HOviT1XMyU     Twilight Sparkle: That's just it, Spike. The day after tomorrow is the thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration! It's imperative that the Princess is told right away! http://vocaroo.com/i/s09z6H6LPbhI     Spike: Impera... impera... http://vocaroo.com/i/s0FBI5ewh5tZ     Twilight Sparkle: Important! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0PYIuNadt0C     Spike: Whoa! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0EsYtXQvPgU     [crunch] http://vocaroo.com/i/s1eqRdkv7Kkc     Spike: Okay, okay! [inhale] There, it's on its way. But I wouldn't hold your breath... http://vocaroo.com/i/s1IigEYxGTg0     Twilight Sparkle: Oh, I'm not worried, Spike. The Princess trusts me completely. In all the years she's been my mentor she's never once doubted me. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0akruTx4rSk     Spike: [belch] http://vocaroo.com/i/s0hNPrJh1SSF     Twilight Sparkle: See? I knew she would want to take immediate action. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0OCyPLHn0Sr     Spike: [clears throat] My dearest, most faithful student Twilight. You know that I value your diligence and that I trust you completely. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Vn6eu2Vpxj     Twilight Sparkle: Mm-hm! http://vocaroo.com/i/s1CUfy1o9Lkc     Spike: ...but you simply must stop reading those dusty old books! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0hTga00FlvS     Twilight Sparkle: [gasp] http://vocaroo.com/i/s13v9LTComnJ     Spike: My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony's life than studying, so I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location: Ponyville. And, I have an even more essential task for you to complete: make some friends! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0cni4bK630N     Twilight Sparkle: [sigh] http://vocaroo.com/i/s17qm4gLPNR3     Spike: Look on the bright side, Twilight. The Princess arranged for you to stay in a library. Doesn't that make you happy? http://vocaroo.com/i/s1MpYw8zuYpe     Twilight Sparkle: Yes, yes it does. You know why? Because I'm right! I'll check on the preparations as fast as I can, then get to the library to find some proof of Nightmare Moon's return. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0BcI3Xoq909     Spike: Then... when will you make friends, like the Princess said? http://vocaroo.com/i/s15AuEXop3ve     Twilight Sparkle: She said to check on preparations. I am her student, and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1QPja8p6kri     Royal guards: [whinnying] http://vocaroo.com/i/s0582JTvt3sW     Twilight Sparkle: Thank you, sirs. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1g5zUU1JZVb     Royal guards: [huffing] (no sound submitted)     Spike: Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about. Come on, Twilight, just try! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0j9XfnmRkRS     Twilight Sparkle: Um... hello? http://vocaroo.com/i/s0yqx67JIWvk     Pinkie Pie: [prolonged gasp] http://vocaroo.com/i/s1NM6gxbsR8L     Twilight Sparkle: Well, that was interesting all right. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1GxtJhb5ay7     Spike: [sigh] http://vocaroo.com/i/s0mIwadoqMyx     Spike: Summer Sun Celebration official overseer's checklist.
