My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Ooooh, be careful!

Oh!

Are you OK, Angel?

I told you that entering the Ponyville Paw-Kour contest

was a dangerous idea.

You just rest here and I'll have you all fixed up in no time.

Oh, dear. I'm all out of bunny foot braces.

I think we need to pay a visit to Dr. Fauna.

I was sure that she would be here today.

Hello? Is anyPony there?

Fluttershy? Oh, am I glad to see you!

I wish I could say the same, but the door is stuck so,

I um... can't see you.

Ooh. Somebunny hurt his foot!

Let's bandage that up so he can get back home.

I'd like to keep him overnight, but as you can see

my place is just bursting with animals.

Ah! I don't think I can take in even

one more critter right now.

- Oh, dear. - Oh, dear.

You really have your hooves full here.

This place is like a zoo!

Then again, it's normally like that but still...

I can't keep up!

Now does my favorite wittle bunny want a carrot-pop?

That's OK. I think the goats ate all of them, anyway.

I just can't believe all these poor little animals are hurt!

What happened?

Every day, there's more and more animals on my doorstep.

Most of them just have minor ailments:

hurt wings, stuffy noses and such.

But the trouble is, even after they're all healed up,

I can't seem to get these comfy critters to leave!

Oh, dear!

They do seem to have made themselves right at home here.

I wonder why they chose to flock to my office.

It just doesn't make sense.

Don't be silly, Dr. Fauna.

You're the best Vet Pony in Equestria!

At least that's what I've been telling every Pony.

Ah, you did what?

Oh, no! Do you suppose it's my fault? I'm so sorry;

I didn't mean for this to happen.

I just know animals feel safe and happy under your care.

Oh! Normally, I don't mind if a snake wants to slither in

or a raccoon needs a rest. But now this place is so full,

I have no space to treat any injured animals!

That is a big problem.

That I'm going to fix for you!

I already have the perfect solution

that'll make the critters happy and give you more space!

Then you'll have all your ducks in a row.

The sooner you fix it, the better!

I'm on it.

I want to thank you all

for rushing right over when I called.

Dr. Fauna needs my help with a serious problem.

No. Her vet clinic is a bit maybe um... overrun

with adorable critters in dire need of a safe place

to lay their heads and...

they don't have anywhere to go!

Oh, that's just awful.

I know!

Yeah, Dr. Fauna's always fixin' Winona up

when she ain't feelin' too fine,

so helpin' her out is A-OK by me.

Ah! Yeah!

That's great news because it means you'll all be helping me

with something special, too.

Something that's been a dream of mine for a long time.

Oh, goody! Is your dream to make a bouncy castle

shaped like a gigantic bundt cake?

Um, no... not exactly.

Oh, just me then.

So what is it, Fluttershy? Spill!

My dream is to build a real animal sanctuary.

A beautiful habitat where every animal, whether sick...

or scared...

or even just lonely.

Feathered or furry, scaly or slimy,

every critter would be welcome.

My sanctuary can be the one place in Equestria

they call home till they feel ready to take on the world.

Wow, Fluttershy.

I've never heard you speak with such conviction.

That was exquisite!

Pretty awesome.

Thank you, every Pony.

You've all taught me so much about building my confidence

over the years. It's because of your friendship

that I finally feel able to make my dream project a reality.

But I can't build the sanctuary alone. Will you join me?

Of course! Yeah!

I'm happy to offer my extra hooves to ya!

But come to think of it, I actually know a filly

who'd be more help than I would. She's a friend of mine

from Winona's sheep herdin' competition: Wrangler.

She's an expert in animal enclosures.

How lovely!

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! I know somePony, too!

Hard Hat is the best construction Pony in Ponyville.

He can build anything you could ever, ever, ever want!

Hearing you all mention these experts,

I am reminded that I, too, have the perfect Pony

to help capture the essence of your vision.

To give it some

Is it...?

No, no. Um I was referring to the premiere interior designer

of the Canterlot Elite: Dandy Grandeur.

He helped me when I was setting up my Canterlot boutique.

I know he'd be thrilled to work with you!

Wow, every Pony! Thank you.

I can't wait to meet all of them and hear their ideas.

We're right on track to building

the most wonderful sanctuary in Equestria.

Thank you, Rupert!

Ah-Ahem. It's wonderful that you all could join me

to discuss the Ponyville sanctuary project.

My friends have so many nice things to say

about each of your talents!

This is a big project, so I'm happy to have

such experienced ponies working on it with me.

Rarity has impeccable taste in design and friends.

So I can't wait to work with you, you know?

I... I think so.

Yee-haw!

I'm just lookin' forward to helpin' ya out, ma'am.

And the animals.

So, uh... Pinkie Pie said you drew up some blueprints?

Um, Not exactly; it's more of a "dream-board."

That sure doesn't look like an animal hospital.

That's because it's not. It's a sanctuary.

A place that is safe but not restrictive, cozy but natural.

A place where the animals can come and go as they please.

So... can you build it?

I want the sanctuary to have an open floor plan.

No walls, more like an enclosure that melts into the trees,

That way, the animals can return to the forest

right when they feel ready.

Sneaky! I like it.

You know, I designed the Ponyville Hospital.

I could do the exact same thing right here.

I still have the blueprints.

Though it'll take a while to clear all these trees.

But I don't want to clear the trees. I want to use them.

Are you sure?

Like a cohesive structure. Or any structure I'm familiar with.

Critters don't live the same way ponies do.

I know this is unconventional, but that's because

we're trying to do something that's never been done before.

And I really believe it'll work.

All right, then. I'll see what I can do.

See, Fluttershy? Whatever you want!

Good.

I know she thinks knows what's best,

but once she sees how much better it works

with these plans, she'll thank us.

Which one do you like for the window treatments?

Ooooh Ah! Loving the print on those!

Um... not to be rude, but there must be some mistake.

We have no need for curtains at the sanctuary.

And why ever not?

Everything is going to look natural in the animal habitats,

not like it was made for ponies.

All those shades of brown and green?
