NURSE REDHEART
Oh, Princess Twilight, everypony at the hospital is so excited for your visit today! 
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
I'm never too busy to visit sick foals! I can't believe a whole class just came down with the Horsey Hives.
NURSE REDHEART
... on school picture day, too! 
NuRSE REDHEART (CONT'D)
Ohh! The poor dears really do need cheering up.
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
We'll do our best! We'll bring snacks, I'll read to them, and get them gifts.
SpIKE
Food and presents always cheer me up!
twILIGHT SPARKLE
We'll see you soon. 
SpikE
Okay, if we want to be at the hospital by lunch, then we have three hours to buy get-well presents, borrow a book from the schoolhouse and pick up treats.
TWiLIGHT SPARKLE
It's a lot, but if we stick to the schedule, I know we can get it all done. 
SpIKE
Yeah, knock on wood! 
Shining armor/cadance
Surprise!! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Oh my gosh!  
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
How's my favorite niece!? 
ShINING ARMOR
I'm good! I was hoping my favorite aunt could watch me for a few hours! 
caDANCE
Hope you're not too busy!
Spike
Actually, we kind of are--
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
Busy? Psh! Would the Best Aunt Ever be "too busy" to spend time with this adorable little one? 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
...no!

ACT ONE
Sc. 2 - INT. TWILIGHT'S CASTLE - HALLWAY -  Moments later
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
Flur-ry, I've got a surprise for you! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Just a couple of toys that reminded me of Flurry—! I’m excited to show you I’ve done some shopping for Flurry Heart!
CaDANCE
You're so sweet. You didn't have to do all that!
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
I know, but I can't help myself!
Best! Aunt! Ever!
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Open this one, Flurry! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Exactly! They're bears! You're one smart cookie!

ShINING ARMOR
We'll just put Flurry's things over here, Twiley--
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Uh huh-- totally! 
ShininG ARMOR
Mashed peas: her favorite--
CadaNCE
And diapers, extra diapers, oh and backup extra diapers. 
ShinING ARMOR
Mashed peas: her favorite--did I say that already? 
Spike
Uh-huh.

ShinING ARMOR
Whoops.
CADANCE
Oh! And this is the most important thing of all!
CadaNCE (CONT'D)
Her "whammy". 
Spike
I take it Flurry named it? 
CADANCE
Yup. If she gets fussy, just give her the whammy and she'll calm right down. 
ShinING ARMOR
You getting all this, Twiley?
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Whammy! Got it! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Where are you guys headed anyway? 
ShiNING ARMOR
You remember my friend from the royal guard, Spearhead? 
SpiKE
Honestly, all of your friends names are very similar.
ShinING ARMOR
Well, he has a pop-up art show at the Ponyville Cafe and we decided to go at the last minute--
CaDANCE
We're not exactly art enthusiasts but we could really use a night out--
SpiKE
You mean day? 
CaDANCE
That's what I said. Isn't that what I said? 
CADANCE (CONT'D)
Either way, are you sure you can watch her?
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
Have no fear! The Best-Aunt-Ever has everything under control! 
ShINING ARMOR
Thanks again, Twiley! 
SpiKE
Okay, let's grab that wharmmy thing and go! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Ooh, you wanna pretend we're the bears? I suppose we have time for a quick game.
SPIKE
Do we though?
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Hey! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
All right, rawr! I'm gonna getcha!
SpiKE
You should catch her soon, cuz we've got lots to do! Horsey-hive covered foals counting on us, remember? 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
Got it. Rawr, rawr!! I'm catching up! Rawr!
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
RAWWWWWR!!!
TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Uh oh. Sorry, bug. Did that scare you? 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
It's okay! It's just Auntie Twiley! 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
You know, that was a very advanced spell for somepony your age. Looks like you're taking after your Auntie Twiley already!
SpIKE
All right, that was pretty adorable. But now-- 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
I know, Spike. We're leaving. 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
I just have to feed her real quick. 
Sc. 3 - INT. PONYVILLE CAFÉ – SAME TIME

ShiNING ARMOR
Is this art... or a mistake? 
CaDANCE
I have no idea. 
But who cares? We're not changing diapers--
Spearhead
Shining Armor! Cadance! How are the new 'rents?! Give me some hoof! 
SpeARHEAD (CONT'D)
It is so! Good! To see you dudes! Thanks for coming!
shiniNG ARMOR
Of course! We're having a great time! Loving all the art!
SpearHEAD
Uhh That's a trash can.
ShinING ARMOR
So it is. I knew that!
SPearHEAD
But hey-- who's to say it's not art? Art can be anything that speaks to you. It's changed my world. This is my latest piece: A Thousand Nights in a Hallway. 
CaDANCE
Wow, I guess nighttime in a hallway can be pretty dark. 
SpearHEAD
There is none more dark. 
ShinING ARMOR
Yeah.. Totally. 
cadance
We're just so happy to be here! Usually we're covered in mashed peas by now.
Cut to:
Sc. 4 - INT. TwiLIGHT'S CASTLE - DININg hall
SpiKE
When they said mashed peas were her favorite-- 
SpiKE (CONT'D)
--did they mean her favorite thing to decorate a room with?
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
Aw, come on, Spike. That wasn't too bad! 
SpikE
Yeah and we're only twenty minutes behind schedule. 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
Twenty minutes?!? It's fine. We can totally do this.
END ACT ONE
ACT TWO
Sc. 5 - Int. Toy store - a little later
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Okay, we just need to grab some toys and we are out of here! 
FLURRY HEART
Rawrr!
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
You want to play, don't you? Well, I know a game that's even more fun...
...and more efficient.
Playing race cart! Ha ha! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Woohoo!
SpiKE
Hey Nice thinking, Twilight! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Best-Aunt-Ever! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Hang on, Flurry. The race cart is taking a pit-stop. 
FLURRY HEART
(Giggling)

SpikE
Well, I'm not a detective, but I think we've got a suspect...
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Well, we better get to cleaning. We've got no time to waste! 
SalESPONY
Thanks, but they were organized by color.

Sc. 6 - ext. Ponyville schoolhouse - later that day
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Yes! We gained back a whole five minutes from running here! 
SpiKE
Yeah, but if you add that to the 40 minutes we were already behind we're still-- 55 minutes behind.  
I mean... yay, team? 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Mmhmm!

Sc. 7 - Int. PonYVILLE SCHOOLHOUSE - moments later
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Thanks for helping us out, Cheerilee! Sorry we were late--
CHEERILEE
Oh, no problem! But I gotta say, I'm surprised you came to me for a book. Don't you have a huge collection? 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Yes, but - sorry, one second--
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
--I didn't think the foals would be interested in The Unabridged History of Amulets in Pony Latin.
CHEERILEE
Yeah... it was good you came to me. How about the complete collection of "Ponyville Fables and Stables"--

TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Mmm, too long--
CHEERILEE
"Alien Alicorns vs. Space Pirates"?
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Well, the science there is preposterous--
Spike
How about Burnferno: Warrior from Within?! It's about a handsome dragon warrior who slays evildoers with his breath and his snappy comebacks!  
Twilight laughs.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
Let's borrow that for you and keep looking. What else?
CHEERILEE
How about "Gusty the Great"?
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Ooh! That was one of my favorites when I was a filly! We'll take it--

TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Umm…Should I go with something more current?  
TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Cheerilee! I am so, so sorry. I didn't even hear her leave--
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
There! All clean! 
CHEERILEE
Great. Now I'll just write it up again. With my mouth. 
Sc. 8 - Int. ponyville - cafe - later
Spearhead
Feast your eyes. This one's called 'A Kitchen Guard's journey'.

CadANCE
Wow..
ShinING ARMOR
This reminds me of the time Flurry got into the chocolate pudding and we found little chocolate hoofprints all over the carpet. 
CadANCE
That took forever to clean up! But remember how cute her little face looked when we caught her? 
SHINING ARMOR
Yeah she was like... uhoh!
SpeaRHEAD
Whoa-- Art is so evocative. I wasn't even going for that memory! Score!  
Sc. 9 - EXT. ponyville - STREET - LATER

SpiKE
Honestly, Twilight, I don't even want to tell you how late we are. Should I just cancel our visit to the hospital? 
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
What? Cancel? We can't cancel, Spike! The foals are counting on us! And the 
B.A.E. would never throw in the towel like that! 
SpIKE
B.A.E.?
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Best-Aunt-Ever! Besides, this errand is going to be different!
SpIKE
How do you figure that? 
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
Because Flurry can play with the Cake twins and stay out of trouble! Bestauntever.
Sc. 10 - Int. Sugarcube corner - continUOUS
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
Wonderful - they're friends already! 
SpiKE
Huh! I shouldn't have doubted you. 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Thanks. Wait, you doubted me? Spike, you watch Flurry, I'll take care of everything else. 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Hi Pinkie--how's it going--I need to pick up the cupcakes for the foals at the hospital and can you do apology treats? 
PinKIE PIE
I'm good--here they are--of course I can!
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Do you still have a giant file of everypony's favorite treat? 
PINKIE PIE
In my secret party planning cave. BRB!
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Hehe!Remind me to tell you later how amazing you are. Cheerilee?
PinKIE PIE
I am pretty awesome
PinKIE PIE (CONT’D)
Cherry oatmeal cookies with yellow sprinkles. 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Great! Can you write "sorry" on them?
PinKIE PIE
I've got a stamp for that.
SpiKE
Hey, you guys... no need to fight--
SpIKE (CONT'D)
Hang on! I'm sure there's another one!
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
Hold on, sweetie! We'll play in a second!
TwiliGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
The salespony at the toy store-- 
PinKIE PIE
Apple strudel cupcake with caramel drizzle! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Oh no. You're making the same face Cheerilee made.  
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Pinkie, remind me what your favorite treat is?
PinkIE PIE
The sampler platter.
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
We'll take three of those. 
SpiKE
A-ha!  told you I'd find another one!....
Sc. 12 - Ext. street - later
Spike
Uh-- Twilight--
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
It's going to be okay! It has to be okay! It's been so terrible so far that it can't possibly not end up oh-- 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
--kay. 
SpIKE
Sorry. 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
No, I needed it. 
SpIKE
I was just gonna say-- we're here. 
SpIKE (CONT'D)
And we're only four and a half minutes late!
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Four and a half??
Sc. 13 - Int. HoSPITAL - room - later
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
"And while nopony had ever tried to reach Cloudsdale on hoof, Gusty the Great was not deterred. She and her unicorn warriors marched up the hill-- but suddenly they encountered--"
SpiKE
What?! What was it?! 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE
"--it was the treacherous Grogar! And Gusty could tell he was ready for battle. Gusty called out to the unicorn warriors--"
OW!"
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Not right now, Flurry - these foals really want to hear this. 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
"'We can fight Grogar... TOGETHER!' And the unicorn warriors shot magical beams into the clouds that wove into one. The beam, stronger than a thousand armies, shined down. It wrapped around Grogar and pulled him to the ground. Don't let him escape!' yelled Gusty!"--
Sc. 14 - QUICK CUTS of HOSPITAL HIJINKS:
NurSE REDHEART
Say aaaaah! 
Sc. 15 - Int. Hospital room - moments later
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
"- Grogar was strong, for fear gave him power, and he broke through the bonds--"
TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
I know! So good, right?! 
SpIKE
Twilight! Look up! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Spike! You're floating! YOU’RE FLOATING!
SPIKE
So are you! 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLe
Flurry, honey, you need to stop this. Put us down, please! 
SpIKE
Twilight - look out! 
END ACT TWO
ACT THREE
Sc. 16 - Int. Hospital room - back to SCENE
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Nopony panic! Everything is going to be okay!   
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Ah! I can't keep up with her! 
SpIKE
Oh yea! Where's her snoozal?
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
Her what?
SPIKE
You know her, whacky, wompy-thing, the snail! Where is it? Cadance said it calms her down!
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
I don't see it! 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
FLURRY HEART! PUT US ALL DOWN THIS INSTANT!
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Is everypony okay?
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Flurry that was very, very bad! You could have hurt somepony.
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Oh, Flurry, I didn't mean to--
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Sweetie, you don't have to be scared, it's just me. See? 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Oh. You're scared of me. Because I yelled at you. Like a big scary bear. 
TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Flurry, I'm so sorry. I've been a terrible aunt today. All you wanted to do was play and I've barely been able to pay attention to you. None of this is your fault. It's mine.  
TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
So much for being the Best Aunt Ever.  
TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
But I hope you know how much I love you. 
TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
I take it, you forgive me? 
TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Thanks, Flurry. How about we head home? 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
--after we find your whammy, of course! 
NurSE REDHEART
Ahem!

TWILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
Oh! Right! And clean up...
Sc. 17 Int. Ponyville cafe - later
CaDANCE
This one kind of reminds me of Flurry's hair... 
ShinING ARMOR
And this one reminds me of Flurry, too. 
SpeARHEAD
How so? 
SHINING ARMOR
It's small, like her. 

ShinING ARMOR (CONT'D)
I can't do this anymore. Spearhead, this has been great but--
SpeARHEAD
Say no more. My art has always spoken to me about what I love, but knowing that it spoke to you about what you love, speaks to me. 
SHINING ARMOR
...what?
SPEARHEAD
Go to her! 
Sc. 18 - Int. Twilight's castle - later
Shining Armor
Flurry? Where's our little Foal?
ShinING ARMOR (CONT'D)
We missed you so much!! 
CadaNCE
But it looks like you had a great time without us. 
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
Actually, not so much. Flurry got into some mischief--
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
But it wasn't her fault. I shouldn't have agreed to watch her with such a jam-packed schedule. It was too much to juggle. 
TwiLIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
But Flurry taught me an important lesson today. It turns out being the Best Aunt Ever isn't about spending the most time with your niece, but spending quality time with her.
TwILIGHT SPARKLE (CONT'D)
And she taught me a really cool "bear" game, so I guess I learned two things. 
ShinING ARMOR
Well, we definitely should have given you more of a head's up. 
CadANCE
Yes! From now on, we'll give you plenty of notice--
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
That would be great! 
CadaNCE
What are you doing next Tuesday?
CaDANCE (CONT'D)
For dinner! Not to babysit--
TwILIGHT SPARKLE
I'll have to check with Spike, but I think we're free.  
CaDANCE
Where is Spike, anyway? 
Sc. 19 - Int. hospital room - tag
SpikE
"...the dashing dragon warrior breathed a scorching flame from his snout then chuckled to himself as he flew into the sunset. 'If you can't stand the heat, don't fight a dragon..'" 

Foal 1
Hey, you kinda look like him!
SPIKE
Thank you.
SPIKE (CONT'D)
Ok. Now who wants more cake?!
THE END.
