My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Come on, come on! Turn into a Tea cup.

No. Tea cup!

No! Tea cup! No!

Oh! Starlight, I can't put a trick that's not working

into my act. How come it's not working?

It could be because you're just yelling "Tea cup"

and not picturing it in your mind.

Oh. Yeah, that could be it.

What does your Tea cup look like?

What shape is it? What color?

Woo! Starlight, I did it!

I did it, I did it, I did it!

Hey!

Tea cup! Tea cup! Tea cup! Tea cup! Tea cup!

Teeeaa Cup! Tea Cup! Tea Cup! Teeeaa Cup!

You know what you need? A Tea cup!

Oh!

Whoops, I guess I pictured a Tea cup poodle.

Trixie, you ruined my Tea cakes!

I just got excited!

This is the first time I did a transfiguration spell.

Real magic! C'mon. Be impressed by me!

"Yay Trixie!

You are so great at magic and having good hair."

Good job, Trix, but I was baking these to give

to Twilight and the girls for their friendship retreat.

Pinkie Pie gave me her recipe and everything.

Oh, you need some snacks to give to Twilight?

I've got you covered.

Problem solved!

Not exactly.

I am so excited for this friendship retreat!

I can't remember the last time we all got to hang out

without having to save Equestria!

Well, we are awesome,

but technically we weren't the last ponies to save Equestria.

I was speaking in a broader sense!

Are you sure you don't want to come with us?

Yeah, I have three new comics to get through.

And I promised Trixie we'd practice more magic.

It might be better if the castle was empty

if you know what I mean.

Ah! Relax. If anything breaks,

Starlight will just go back in time and fix it.

Kidding!

We'll take good care of the castle while you're gone.

Have fun on your friendship retreat!

What in Equestria is a friendship retreat, anyway?

They're gonna bond, share laughs and if I know them,

they're gonna sing a song.

We are gonna have so much more fun than them.

Shhh!

Twilight, wait! Starlight has something for you!

- Ha! - Huh?

Here, I, um, brought you snacks.

Oh. How thoughtful. Thanks.

We will... not get hungry on the train.

It was supposed to be Tea cakes, but it's a long story.

Have a great time.

You, too!

OK Trixie, what kind of spells did you want to work on next?

Well, every self-respecting magician

has a disappearing act

so maybe we could start with that?

Hmm. Nothing just disappears so that's technically

a teleportation spell and those are pretty hard.

Maybe we should start with something smaller.

No no no no. The great and powerful Trixie

goes big or not at all! Just tell me how you do it.

Well, I've always found magic is tied to my emotions.

Whatever I'm feeling fuels whatever I'm doing

and the stronger I'm feeling, the stronger the magic.

Right. Like when you were so upset that Cutie Marks

took away your friend, your magic was strong enough

to enslave an entire village.

Yup. Thanks for bringing that up.

See? I'm already learning!

If anypony is going to Teach me

how to do a disappearing spell...

Teleportation spell.

Whatever. I'm complimenting you! And me.

We can do this cause we're amazing

and magic is friendship and stuff.

I guess we can give it a whirl.

Now we just need to find you something to teleport.

Spike? How bout it?

Ha ha.

Let's pick something, I don't know, not living.

I mean, it won't be as impressive, but OK.

Teach away, mini Twilight.

Welcome to Manehattan Escapes!

I'm going to start with a facial

and then get my hooves done.

Oh. It's not that kind of retreat.

Isn't it called Manehattan Escapes

because it's a deluxe spa

where you can escape all of your troubles?

Nope. It's because we get locked in a room

and we have to solve puzzles and riddles

in order to escape!

The clues will lead you to a key to get out.

Team building!

Come on, girls. This could be fun.

"Could be"? Some of the brightest minds in Equestria

put together these puzzles!

I'm just happy to be with all of you.

Me too! I'm not great at solving riddles,

but I'm super great at cheering other ponies on

while they do it. GO US! Oha oha! Woohoo!

Yes, yes woohoo, but just so we know,

exactly how long will we be locked in here?

A group of Griffons set the record for the fastest escape.

It only took them an hour.

Pssh. Griffons barely like each other!

We're basically the poster ponies for amazing friendships

so get your quill ready, bub.

You're gonna have to write down a new record.

If you master this spell before the girls get back,

you'd be setting some kind of record.

Challenge accepted.

OK, what you want to do is concentrate on the object

that you want to teleport.

Yeah, I'm gonna go... all the way over here.

Concentrate on teleporting, got it. Doin' the spell!

No Trix, wait. Not just...

Nonononononono!

You made Twilight's Friendship Map disappear!

Ahem. Teleport.

Really?!

Well, it was behind the apple, it was bound to happen.

On the plus side, my magic is getting better.

I made a whole table go poof! That was pretty impressive.

Trixie, we have to get that map back.

We'll find it. No big deal.

Twilight's never going to trust me to be alone

in this castle again! What were you thinking?

"Teleport"! Like you told me to!

No! You're supposed to concentrate on the object!

Not just teleporting!

Well, gee, you probably should have told me all the steps

before you let me do the spell.

I TRIED!

I... need a minute.

Hey, are you OK?

I will be, once I cast a spell to contain my anger

in this bottle.

Wait, what?

Do you see this storm cloud?

This has never happened before.

All this magical energy has to go somewhere

and if I'm not using it to fight a magical duel

or bend my friends' wills to obey my every command...

Ha. I remember that.

The point is, I don't know what my magic's going to do.

So I'm hoping if I bottle up my anger,

I won't do who- knows-what to Trixie.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

What choice do I have? I've got to get that map back

and I don't want to lose Trixie.

If she knew what I was thinking right now,

she'd probably never talk to me again.

OK. You do what you need to do;

I'll see if I can find the map somewhere in the castle.

Trixie.

Oh, there you are. For a minute

I didn't think you were coming back

and that you might be upset with me for some weird reason.

But then I remembered you never get mad at me.

Whoo. Nope. Not mad at all.

So, the map is probably in the last place

you were thinking of. Where was that?

Oooh. Great question. I wish you'd asked it, like,

right after I did the spell. I don't remember anymore.

No worries. We'll just take a walk around town.

Maybe that will jog your memory.

OK, that sounds fun. Oooh!

Did you remember?

No. But I did think we could stop for cinnamon nuts

while we're out!

Cinnamon nuts?!

That's a good idea.

Yes! I've been craving something sweet

since I couldn't have any Tea cakes this morning.

Whoo!

You got this, Starlight.

Woohoo! Go Twilight, you can do it!

Woohoo!

Hoo-wee! You solved that triangle-y thing mighty fast.

Does anypony need a purple jewel?

Ooh! Plum or boysenberry?

Don't both those fruits mean "purple"?

Yes, but one's a lovely purple and one's... well... icky.

Oh! Just put the gem in! We're trying to set a record here!

Yay, we solved another clue!

Cause our friendship is so true!
