My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Oops! Sorry, Princess Twilight! That was meant for her!

INCOMING!

Whoa!

Toola Roola! Coconut Cream!

What are you doing?

That was meant for my ex-friend!

I'm not your ex-friend!

You're my ex-friend!

Both of you, stop!

So you see, friendship isn't always easy

but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for.

Awwww!

Hmm. That sounds familiar.

Hmmm. No. Uh uh.

Aha! Here it is!

What is that?

Come on, Starlight.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

This is the friendship journal my friends and I used to keep.

It's filled with all the things we've learned!

Like "friendship isn't always easy

but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for."

I'll judge a book by its cover just this once.

Thanks for coming, everypony!

I've got a surprise for you...

What is it, Twilight? Do I need to prepare myself?

It's this!

Oh! What is that thing?

Why is it so smelly!

Wait a minute!

Is this our old friendship journal?

I haven't seen this thing in forever!

Hooo-wee, it's lookin' a little uh, overripe.

I'll say!

There's a smooshed apple in Applejack's lessons.

Fluttershy's lessons are so small, you can barely read them.

I.. uh.. wanted to leave room for all of you.

I-I-I don't even know what this is.

It is called calligraphy, darling.

If you're going to make words, at least make them fabulous.

Looks like you got a little aggressive

with your friendship lessons, Rainbow Dash.

What can I say?

When I learn something, I learn it hard.

I found Pinkie's page.

Hee hee! Well, I am surprised!

That wasn't the only surprise.

Starlight and I decided to make one for each of you!

That's amazin'! A perfect copy!

I learned the spell years ago when I needed to make copies

of a certain...

Manifesto.

Ah! Even better than a perfect copy.

Oh, I'd forgotten all about this lesson.

Ha ha! Remember this one?

From when I helped Daring Do?

"Never underestimate the power of friends

who've always got your back."

Aww, Cheese Sandwich!

Party cannon!

Ah! Birthaversary!

After Twilight remembered the journal,

I had so much fun reading all the stuff you've all learned.

I just had to have my own copy.

And that brings me to the second part of the surprise.

My idea.

How would you girls feel about making our journal

available for everypony?

If we can get these lessons into other ponies' hooves,

maybe they'll benefit from them.

Well, I think that's a great idea.

I'm in! YAY!

We always said we wanted to.

Sounds fabulous.

Hahaha, hahaha! I'm awesome.

Oh, yeah, uh, good idea.

No! I don't want to play with you anymore!

Why not? You love playing hopscotch.

No, you do. Because you always win!

Hey, girls.

Couldn't help but overhear...

You might want to take a breather,

maybe read Rainbow Dash's chapter on Rainbow Falls.

It might help.

Sure, Princess.

Thanks, Twilight!

The friendship journal's makin' us super popular!

Oh...

We were thinkin' of putting together

a Cutie Mark Summer Camp.

Now everypony's definitely gonna sign up for it!

This is going to be awesome!

A Cutie Mark Camp is a great idea.

Yeah, but the purpose of the journal

isn't supposed to be marketing.

I just hope those foals actually learn something

from our lessons.

They will. I'm sure ponies all across Equestria will... AAAH!

Uh, hello.

Can I... help you?

We're here all the way from Fillydelphia

because we got copies of your friendship journal.

Wow! How wonderful.

What was your favorite friendship...

Will you sign them?

Oh. Uh, I guess so.

So, what did you think of the lessons?

Oh, we haven't read them.

These are keepsakes.

We gotta keep them in mint condition.

Oh.

Wow, that was worth the trip!

Don't worry, Twilight, I'm sure lots of other ponies

are being inspired to be better friends.

Well, I for one found the journal terribly illuminating.

I agree.

I'm seeing sides of these ponies I didn't know were there.

I only wish they'd left Rarity out.

She clearly doesn't belong in that book with the rest of them.

Oh, I know!

Who does she think she is?

Certainly she did a fine job setting up the

Ponyville Days Celebration,

but does she really believe it was a success

just because of her?

Ha ha ha!

The nerve!

But that's not what she was saying!

Rarity!

Poor Rarity.

She overheard all the mean things those ponies were saying!

She must be devastated.

I'm going after her.

Go ahead.

I'm going to have a chat with these two.

Rarity, wait!

Twilight, isn't it amazing?

Our journals are everywhere!

Pinkie! I've got to...

Ponies keep stopping by to tell me

my entries are hilarious!

I even had somepony come all the way from Las Pegasus

to say how much he liked my lessons!

I am so glad to hear someponies are being inspired

by the journal!

Hey look! There's Pinkie Pie, the funny one!

Giggly feedback is the best kind!

Well, at least you're getting a positive reaction.

I just saw Rarity.

I'm afraid this whole journal thing really upset her.

Aww. That's too bad.

Wait, that wasn't even funny.

[laughter[

OK. Well, I guess I'll catch you later.

Yup. Bye, Twilight.

Classic Pinkie!

Oh! She's even funnier in real life!

You've known me for years!

Maybe it's time to call it a day.

I ripped out all the Twilight Sparkle lessons

'cause they were getting in the way of the good ones!

What do you mean you skipped the lessons?

We've all had valuable experiences!

Hey, here's a great idea!

Why don't you guys talk to Twilight for a while

so I can get back to things like working and napping and...

well, pretty much anything else.

Aw, we don't want to hear her boring lessons!

Come on, tell us again about when you met Daring Do!

Heh heh. Again?

Haven't we already covered that one?

A couple dozen times?

We can't get enough of it!

Come on, you don't want to disappoint your fans!

It's just that I, uh, really need to get those

stormclouds back in their pens.

Cool! We'll come along and you can tell us the story there!

Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!

What's going on now?

Please! Just leave me alone!

Fluttershy? What's wrong?

We want answers!

Yeah! We're entitled to know!

What is it, everypony?

We want to know why Fluttershy keeps learning

the same thing over and over again.

Be assertive, already.

Even I've learned more than she has!

Why can't I be in the book?
