Saten Twist
Twilight Sparkle: I said no magic. You were supposed to do it por hoof so I could work in a friendship lesson.
Starlight Glimmer: Oh, I heard "set the table" and just kinda went for it.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, if you hadn't used magic, you'd have heard me say, uh... this plate represents your head, this spoon is your heart, and the knives... are sharp! Always be careful with knives. [sigh] The metaphors make mais sense when you're actually setting the table.
Starlight Glimmer: Should I... change it back?
Twilight Sparkle: I just want to make sure you're ready for this dinner. Princess Celestia will be joining us tomorrow night to see how the friendship lessons are going! Starlight Glimmer: If it's just you, me, and Princess Celestia, why are there four seats?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, the whole point is for you to bring a new friend. That way, the princess will see for herself just how far you've come. And how good a teacher you have.
Starlight Glimmer: Well, I can't choose. I like all your friends.. Oh, and the red one.
Saten Twist: Hello.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh. Your still here.
Saten Twist: You invited me.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh yeah.. Anyway, that's the best part! You have to make a new friend!
Starlight Glimmer: New friends? Hey, maybe I'll just force friendships por magically enslaving the entire population of Ponyville!
Twilight Sparkle: Starlight!
Starlight Glimmer: Kidding! [laughs nervously]
Saten Twist (creepily): She can enslave me.
Twilight: (elbows him).
Starlight goes around town to try and make a new friend. Pinkie Pie introduces her to Mrs. Cake, but her attempt to impress with a magically whipped-up cake sends the wrong message. aguardente de maçã introduces Starlight to the laconic Big McIntosh, but her use of magic to make him mais talkative angers Applejack. Rarity tries to help Starlight meet ponies por making her an elaborate dress, but it wouldn't be ready in time for Twilight's jantar the seguinte evening. arco iris, arco-íris Dashsuggests that Starlight meet Spitfire of the Wonderbolts, but Starlight doesn't know who the Wonderbolts are. She briefly gets along well with Fluttershy's animal friends, but she doesn't think they are what Twilight had in mind.
To get her mind off her growing stress, Starlight gets a spa treatment at the Ponyville dia Spa. There, she meets a pónei, pônei who is also from out of town and burdened por a dark past, and she is happy to finally meet someone she can relate to.
At Twilight's house, Saten is seen smoking a joint.
Twilight Sparkle: Well.. Least you stopped drinking.
Saten Twist: (cough) One step at a time.
Suddenly Starlight runs in, cutely like usual.
Saten (startled, drops joint out the window): Crap.. Hope the cops don't find it.
Starlight Glimmer: Twilight, guess what! I made a new friend!
Twilight Sparkle: That's fantastic news!
Starlight Glimmer: She's great!
Twilight Sparkle: Great!
Saten Twist: Yeah. I guess.
Starlight Glimmer: She's powerful!
Twilight Sparkle: Powerful?
Starlight Glimmer: She's—
Trixie: Hello... princess!
Twilight Sparkle: Trixie?!
Saten: Yaaay! Your back!
Trixie Lulamoone: Yes, I've been at the spa. I've been stressed lately. Didn't want you to see me so stressed out.
Saten Twist: Like it would mat-
Starlight: Twilight knows you two?
Trixie:
We've had our differences. What matters is Twilight gave me a segundo chance, and I appreciate it..
Twilight Sparkle: So, um, what brings you to Ponyville?
Trixie: The Grrrreat and Powerful Trrrrixie has come to perform a new stage show of grand illusion! I am calling it "The Humble and Penitent Trixie's Equestrian Apology Tour"!
Saten Twist: You still do the 3rd person thing?
Trixie: Of coarse I do babe.
Twilight Sparkle: Starlight? A moment? Over here?
(Starlight and Saten follow Twilight).
Twilight: [hushed] I know I said make friends with anypony, but, well, with Trixie's past, and your past, I'm not sure she's the bes-
Saten (offended) What are you trying to say about my girl!?
Twilight: Uhhh..
Saten: Show she got a little over confident last time. And.. Rude.. But give her a break!
Starlight Glimmer: Yeah, you did say anypony, and I just assumed that you'd trust me to make my own friends the way Princess Celestia trusted you.
Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] You're right. I trust you. Just be back in time for the dinner.
Starlight Glimmer: Thanks, Twilight! You won't regret it!
Twilight Sparkle: I hope not. [sighs]
Trixie: This magic show's gonna be the greatest thing Ponyville's ever seen!
(they leave).
Twilight: (gulps).
Saten: (groans and lights new joint)
Twilight: I'm sorry fo-
Saten: Just drop it girl.
