Transcript
Narrator: "The animals in ponyville were always very busy. They liked being busy, and no animal liked being busy more than Spike. But sometimes, Spike also liked to have a day off.

One autumn morning, Hoity Toity came to the library. He had important news."

Hoity Toity: "A new pony has arrived in Ponyville."

Narrator: "He boomed."

Hoity Toity: "Her name is Coco Pommel. You must all help her get to know the town. And Spike..."

Narrator: "Added Hoity Toity,"

Hoity Toity: "You have been working very hard. Today, you can have a day off."

Narrator: "Spike was very pleased."

Spike: "First, I will have a long bath."

Narrator: "Spike chuffed cheerfully."

Spike: "Then, I shall go to the Crystal Empire."

Narrator: "On his way to the Bathhouse, Spike saw a pony he'd never seen before. The pony was huffing and puffing."

Spike: "Hello!"

Narrator: "Spike shouted."

Spike: "You must be Coco Pommel. What's the matter?"

Coco Pommel: "These changelings are too troublesome. I can't move them!"

Spike: "It's my day off,"

Narrator: "Whistled Spike,"

Spike: "But I'll help you."

Narrator: "This made Coco very happy.

Coco watched Spike biff and bump the changelings into line."

Spike: "All done!"

Narrator: "Huffed Spike. It was hard work, and he was tired."

Coco Pommel: "Thank you, Spike."

Narrator: "Oiled Coco. And she watched Spike chuff away.

Soon, Spike was covered in bubbles!"

Spike: "Shiny and bright, shiny and bright, that's what I'll be to start my day right!"

Narrator: "He chirped cheerily.

Coco wasn't cheerful. Coco was lazy. She didn't want to deliver his changelings carrying tiles. Then, he saw Spike. Coco had an idea. She would ask Spike to help her again."

Coco: "Help! Help!"

Narrator: "Coco called weakly. Spike slowed down."

Coco: "I don't know how to get to the schoolhouse."

Narrator: "Coco groaned."

Spike: "Don't worry, Coco!"

Narrator: "Spike puffed."

Spike: "I'll show you the way!"

Narrator: "Coco smiled. Her trick had worked!

So Spike showed Coco the way to the junction."

Spike: "The schoolhouse is further along that track."

Narrator: "Wheeshed Spike. Coco watched Spike puff away. Coco wanted Spike to take her changelings for her. Suddenly, Coco had another idea. She screamed for help again and again.

Spike heard the noise. He was worried. Coco watched Spike come back. Her new trick had worked. Now, Coco would pretend to have something wrong with her."

Coco Pommel: "Help!"

Narrator: "Coco cried."

Coco Pommel: "I've injured myself. You'll have to take these changelings for me."

Narrator: "Spike knew it was his day off, but he still wanted to help."

Spike: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike."

Spike: "I'll find another animal to help you, on my way to the Crystal Empire."

Narrator: "Coco was cross. She wanted Spike to take her changelings. Coco decided to leave her changelings."

Coco Pommel: "Then, another animal will have to take them!"

Narrator: "She thought.

So, Coco raced way. She didn't care about the tiles, she didn't care about Spike, all she cared about was getting far away from her work. Her legs were running faster and faster. Then, there was trouble."

CRASH!

Coco Pommel: "Help!"

Narrator: "Called Coco."

Coco Pommel: "Help! Help!"

Narrator: "But this time, there was no one there to help.

Spike arrived at a signal. Pipsqueak had some important news."

Pipsqueak: "The workmen are waiting for Coco to bring the tiles to repair the school roof. The children can't go to school until it's mended, and no one knows where Coco is!"

Spike: "I do."

Narrator: "Wheeshed Spike."

Spike: "She's injured herself. I must go back to help her right away."

Narrator: "Spike quickly found Coco. Spike was very surprised."

Spike: "I thought you injured yourself at the junction!"

Narrator: "Wheeshed Spike."

Spike: "And where are the changelings with the tiles?"

Narrator: "Coco looked very shame-faced."

Coco Pommel: "I tricked you."

Narrator: "Said Coco quietly."

Coco Pommel: "There was nothing wrong with me at the junction. I just didn't want to work with those changelings. I'm a really lazy pony."

Narrator: "Moaned Coco.

Coco's legs wobbled, and her hair was shedding. Now, Spike could see Coco really was in trouble! So Spike decided to help one more time."

Spike: "I'll help you back onto the path."

Narrator: "Spike puffed."

Spike: "Then, I'll be your back dragon. That way, we'll get the tiles to the schoolhouse in double quick time!"

Narrator: "Coco smiled her biggest smile ever!

Coco and Spike finally pulled into the schoolhouse station. Hoity Toity was waiting."

Hoity Toity: "Coco, you have caused confusion and delay!"

Narrator: "He boomed. Coco felt bad."

Coco Pommel: "Spike has shown me that being a really useful animal is much better than being a really lazy one!"

Narrator: "Coco wheezed.

Hoity Toity was pleased. Spike was pleased, too."

Coco Pommel: "Thank you, Spike!"

Narrator: "Coco hooted."

Coco Pommel: "From now on, I will try to be a really useful pony!"
