Babs Seed~

[Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Apple Bloom]
First, we thought that Babs was so really, really sweet
A new friend to have, and it seemed like such a treat
[Scootaloo]
But then, we found the truth; she's just a bully from the east
She went from Babs, yeah, to a bully and a beast
[Apple Bloom]
Everywhere we turn, she's just a step ahead
[Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo]
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, what we gonna do?
Got a bully on our tail
Gotta hide, we gotta bail
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, if she's after you
Gotta run, we gotta flee
Gotta hurry, don't bạn see?
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, she's just a bad, bad seed
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Apple Bloom]
Hiding from a bully, we know it isn't right
But the Cutie Mark Crusaders, we aren't lookin' for a fight
[Scootaloo]
Oh, she'll go trang chủ soon, and then we'll have some peace again
But for now, we're staying out of her way 'til then
[Apple Bloom]
Everywhere we turn, she's just a step ahead
[Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo]
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, what we gonna do?
Got a bully on our tail
Gotta hide, we gotta bail
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, if she's after you
Gotta run, we gotta flee
Gotta hurry, don't bạn see?
Why so mean? Why so crude?
Why so angry? Why so rude?
Can't bạn be nice? Can't we be friends?
Isn't it sad? Is this how it all ends?
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, she's just a bad, bad-
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, she's just a bad, bad-
Babs Seed, Babs Seed-
[Scootaloo]
She's just a bad, bad seed!

The ballad Of the Crystal Empire~


[Twilight Sparkle]
Princess Cadance needs our help
Her magic will not last forever
I think we can do it
But we need to work together
We have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history
[Rainbow Dash]
It says that they like jousting
[Rarity]
They flew a flag of many hues
[Applejack]
Made sweets of crystal berries
[Fluttershy]
They had a petting zoo with tiny ewes
[All]
Oh, we have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history
[Pinkie Pie]
There was a crystal flugelhorn
That every ngựa con, ngựa, pony liked to play
[Twilight Sparkle]
And a Crystal kingdom anthem
Can bạn learn it in a day?
[All]
Oh, we have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history


Behold Princess Twilight Sparkle~


[Choir]
Thou Princess Twilight cometh
Behold, behold
A Princess here before us
Behold, behold, behold
Behold, behold (behold, behold)
The Princess Twilight cometh
Behold, behold (behold, behold)
The Princess is
The Princess is here!


Celestia's Ballad~

[Princess Celestia]
You've come such a long, long way
And I've watched bạn from that very first day
To see how bạn might grow
To see what bạn might do
To see what you've been through
And all the ways you've made me proud of you
It's time now for a new change to come
You've grown up and your new life has begun
To go where bạn will go
To see what bạn will see
To find what bạn will be
For it's time for bạn to fulfill your destiny



The Failure Song~


[Twilight Sparkle]
I was prepared to do my best
Thought I could handle any test
For I can do so many tricks
But I wasn't prepared for this
Levitation would have been a breeze
Facts and figures I recite with ease
Twilight Sparkle: The square root of five hundred and forty-six is twenty-three point three six six six four two eight nine one zero nine.
Teacher: She is correct!
[Twilight Sparkle]
I could ace a câu hỏi kiểm tra on friendship's bliss
But I wasn't prepared for this
Will I fail, hoặc will I pass?
I can't be sure...
[Spike]
She can't be sure...
[Twilight Sparkle]
My mind is sharp, my skills intact
My tim, trái tim is pure...
[Spike]
Her tim, trái tim is pure...
[Twilight Sparkle]
Oh, I've taken my share of licks
I've made it through the thin and thick
But no I wasn't
[Spike]
Oh no, she wasn't
[Twilight Sparkle]
Oh no, I wasn't
[Spike]
Oh no, she wasn't
[Twilight Sparkle]
No I wasn't
[Twilight Sparkle and Spike]
Prepared... for this!


I've Got To Find A Way~

[Twilight Sparkle]
I have to find a way
To make this all okay
I can't believe this small mistake
Could've caused so much heartache
Oh why, oh why?
Losing promise
I don't know what to do
Seeking answers
I fear I won't get through to you
Oh why, oh why?
Oh, Spike. What have I done?


Life In Equestria~


[Twilight Sparkle]
Life in Equestria shimmers
Life in Equestria shines
And I know for absolute certain
[Main Cast]
That everything (everything)
Yes, everything
Yes, everything is certainly fine
It’s fine
Twilight Sparkle: Yes! Everything’s going to be just fine!


Morning In Ponyville~


[Twilight Sparkle]
Morning in Ponyville shimmers
Morning in Ponyville shines
And I know for absolute certain
That everything is certainly fine
There's the Mayor en route to her office
There's the sofa clerk selling some quills
Davenport: Morning, kid!
[Twilight Sparkle]
My Ponyville is so gentle and still
Can things ever go wrong?
I don't think that they will
Morning in Ponyville shimmers
Morning in Ponyville shines
And I know for absolute certain
That everything is certainly—


Raise This Barn~


[Applejack]
Yee-hoo!

What My Cutie Mark Is Telling Me~


[Rainbow Dash]
These động vật don't listen, no, not one little bit
They run around out of control and throw their hissy fits
[cat hissing]
It's up to me to stop them, 'cause plainly bạn can see
It's got to be my destiny, and it's what my cutie mark is telling me
[Fluttershy]
[blows balloon]
I try to keep them laughing, put a smile upon their face
But no matter what I try, it seems a bit of a disgrace
[blows party horn]
[laughter]
I have to entertain them, it's there for all to see
It's got to be my destiny, and it's what my cutie mark is telling me
[Pinkie Pie]
I don't care much for pickin' trái cây and plowin' fields ain't such a hoot
No matter what I try, I cannot FIX THIS BUSTED WATER CHUTE!
I've got so many chores to do, it's no fun being me
But it has to be my destiny, 'cause it's what my cutie mark is telling me
[Applejack]
Lookie here at what I made, I think that it's a dress
I know it doesn't look like much, I'm under some distress
Could y'all give me a hand here and help me fix this mess?
My destiny is not pretty, but it's what my cutie mark is tellin' me
[Rarity]
I'm in tình yêu with weather patterns, but the others have concerns
For I just gave them frostbite over hàng đầu, đầu trang of their sunburns
I have to keep on trying, for everyone can see
[Rarity and cầu vồng Dash]
It's got to be
[Fluttershy]
It's got to be
[Pinkie Pie]
My destiny
[Applejack]
My destiny
[Rarity, cầu vồng Dash, and Fluttershy]
And it's what my cutie mark
[Pinkie Pie and Applejack]
It's what my cutie mark
[Rarity, cầu vồng Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack]
Yes, it's what my cutie mark is telling me!

It slithered out of the shadows and up to Dawn Bright's bed. It's eyes narrowed as it perpared to strike at its unsuspecting victim. That's when unicorn intution took over.

Dawn Bright didn't know why but suddenly she woke up. Staring her in the face was a snake, black as night. Dawn Bright screamed as she backed up against the wall. Even though she wasn't afraid of snakes, She was terrified of this one. It didn't look solid and had two front claws. It hissed, probably annoyed cause she woke up.

Dawn Bright had to think fast, the snake was already fast approaching. She concentrated on the snake....

I quietly galloped into the boutique, only to see my little sister, Sweetie Belle, sprawled on the floor, sobbing her lit eyes out. Surrounding her were multiple papers emblazed with drawings and doodles. To her left was a box of crayons.
"What's wrong, Sweetie? I thought you'd be with your friends."
She turned to stare at me.
"I was, but then Scootaloo went to help...

Discord chuckled. "With Celestia out of the way, I can finally claim what's rightfully mine." He stood in the center of what used to be Ponyville and admired his handiwork. He chuckled evilly. "Aw, all this beautiful chaos." He made a glass magically appear, grabbed a Sô cô la rain cloud, squeezed it, and Sô cô la sữa came into the glass. As he threw the đám mây to the ground, he took a sip from the glass.

-Meanwhile, In the Canterlot Maze-
You are trapped in the maze! Discord has taken away your horn and/or wings. bạn need to find your way out, find Twilight and her friends, get them harmonized again, and stop Discord hoặc else Equestria shall remain in chaos forever!

I saw the Royal Guards trying their best to defend Canterlot against the changelings.

"We have to get to Princess Celestia", đã đưa ý kiến Twilight.

The hot air balloon landed bởi the lâu đài and so did RD and I. We all ran inside the castle. We saw Princess Celestia in the gross, green, sticky, goo on the ceiling.

"Princess", exclaimed Twilight.

"I'm fine, just stop her!"

"It's too late", đã đưa ý kiến Queen Chrysalis as she entered the room. "My changeling minions have already took the form of almost every ngựa con, ngựa, pony in Canterlot and Ponyville. And soon, all of Equestria!" She laughed an evil laugh.

Bartholomew: Fillies, and gentlecolts, me, and the princess here have thought up a plan. Gilda thinks that we'll all sit out of this war, and be comfortable about it.
