Transcript
Narrator: "Christmas is the busiest time of the year for the animals of Ponyville. There are more passengers, and more deliveries than at any other time of the year."

Shining Armor: "Merry Christmas, Spike! All ready for Star Swirl the Bearded's grand Christmas lunch tomorrow?"

Spike: "Not yet, Shining Armor. I have to take these singers to their rehearsal, and then, take all those changelings up to the castle."

Shining Armor: (Chuckles) "You are busy, Spike."

Spike: "Oh dear. Hello, sir. Merry Christmas!"

Hoity Toity: "I'm afraid I'm not feeling very merry at the moment, Spike. I'm suppose to be at the docks. But I twisted my ankle, so I can't drive. Oh! Would you be able to take me instead?"

Spike: "Oh. I'd love to help, sir. But I have to take the singers to their rehearsal, and then changelings up to..."

Hoity Toity: "Oh, well. Don't mind me, then."

Spike: "But if one of my friends can help me, sir, I'm sure I can help you."

Hoity Toity: "Whooaa!" (Falls down onto a cart)

Spike: "Merry Christmas, Discord!"

Discord: "Huh! What reason have we to be merry?"

Spike: "I was wondering if you'd help me."

Discord: "No, Spike! I can't help you. I'm busy."

Spike: (Sighs) "Discord is as helpful as a chocolate firebox."

Rarity: (Humming Deck the Halls)

Spike: "Rarity!"

Narrator: "Luckily, Rarity was happy to help Spike. So he was able to take Hoity Toity to the docks."

Gustave: "Hurry up with that cart, Cheese Sandwich! These chains are coming loose."

Cheese Sandwich: "Arr! My body's frozen. I can't make it to you in time."

Gustave: "Whoa! Discord, help me! You need to push that cart under that path."

Discord: "I don't need to do anything. I've got enough jobs to do without helping you do yours!"

Gustave: "Whoa!"

Cheese Sandwich: "Arr! Shiver me timbers! The tree!

Arr!"

(Tree falls on Cheese Sandwich)

Discord: "Whoops!"

Gustave: "If you've been bothered to help, Discord, this never would have happened."

Discord: "That's not my problem."

Cheese Sandwich: "But Discord, Christmas is a time for good will."

Discord: "Huh, Bah Humbug!"

Narrator: "At last, the huge Christmas tree was loaded onto a cart for Silver Shill to deliver to the castle."

Silver Shill: "Oh, that's a big one. I think I might need some help."

Spike: "Oh, maybe Discord can help you. He doesn't have anymore changelings."

Discord: "Oh! I told you I'm busy!"

Spike: (Sighs) "Discord!"

Narrator: "Silver Shill set off for the castle. But the huge tree was rolling around so much, the chains were coming loose. And with no back animal to see what was happening, there was nobody to warn Silver Shill."

Silver Shill: "Ahhh!"

(Crash!)

Silver Shill: "Ow!"

Children: "Merry Christmas!"

Discord: "Bah Humbug!"

Silver Shill: "Discord, you came to help after all."

Discord: "No I didn't! One of those other animals that likes being helpful will be along soon enough."

Silver Shill: "But... but... ah."

Spike: "Silver Shill, are you okay?"

Silver Shill: "Yes, I'm fine. Just a bit off the path, that's all."

Spike: "That path looks like it'll need some repairs. But, was that Discord who just went by?"

Silver Shill: "Yes, but I think Discord must be very busy today, Spike."

Spike: "I'd like to find a way to teach that unhelpful Discord just what being helpful is all about."

Narrator: "That evening, when Discord returned, he found the creature works mysteriously deserted."

Discord: "Hello? Hello? Where is everybody?

Okay, you can stop messing around now?"

(Light comes on)

Discord: "Ahh! What's that?"

Rarity (In a ghostly voice): "Oooooooh!"

Discord: "Ahhhh! Who's there?"

Rarity (In a ghostly voice): "Oooooooh! I'm alive ghost. And I'm here to warn you to stop being such an unhelpful draconequus."

Spike (Whispering): "I think we need more steam."

Discord: "Just go away!"

Rarity (In a ghostly voice): "You shall be visited by three more ghosts before Christmas. Oooooooh! Hoity Toity says he needs you to go to the docks tonight, or you'll be in big trouble."

Discord: "Big trouble?"

Rarity: (Giggles) "This plan of yours is a great plan, Spike."

Spike: (Giggles)

Narrator: "Discord raced quickly into the docks. He had been scared by the ghost, and didn't like the sound of being in even more trouble."

Discord: "Sir? Are you here, sir?"

Gustave: (Snores)

Discord: "Ahh! Gustave, was that you?"

Gustave: (Snores)

Discord: (Gulps)

Cheese Sandwich: "Whoooooo!

Whoooooo! I am the Ghost of Christmas Past!"

Discord: "I, I should go. I think Spike needs my, my help at the yards."

Cheese Sandwich: "Arrr! You help Spike? When was the last time you helped someone, Discord?"

Discord: "Well..."

Cheese Sandwich: "Arrr! Let's go back and see, shall we? Whoooooo! Arrr!

You weren't helpful that time you pushed those changelings into the sea, were you?

And, you weren't helpful when you spilled milk on Hoity Toity either.

And, you definitely were not helpful when you refused to move the cart yesterday. Poor old Cheese Sandwich! Poor old Cheese Sandwich!"

Discord: (Screams)

Cheese Sandwich: "So, how did poor old Cheese Sandwich do? Whooooo!"

Gustave: "Spooooky."

Cheese Sandwich and Gustave: (Laugh)

Cheese Sandwich: "Spooky indeed!"

Discord: "Come on, Discord. You must have been hearing things. There's no such things as..."

Silver Shill: "Oooooooh! Oooooooh!"

Discord: "Ghosts. Oh no!"

Silver Shill: "Oooooooh! Oooooooh! Oooooooh! I am the Ghost of Christmas Present."

Discord: "No, you're not! There's no such things as ghosts."

Silver Shill: "Then I must be good at pretending.

You shouldn't be hiding, Discord. You should be out there enjoying the extra jobs Christmas brings."

Discord: "Huh! Enjoying? Why would I enjoy doing extra work?"

Silver Shill: "Because that's the way to make others happy, of course. Close your eyes, Discord, and think."

Discord (while closing his eyes): "Hmm."

Silver Shill: "Think of the smiles on people's faces when they see the twinkling lights and sing Christmas songs.

And think of the laughter and fun as they enjoy their presents.

Oooooooh! And think of the face of Hoity Toity as he eats his Christmas pudd...

Discord?"

Discord: "Ghosts aren't real! Ghosts aren't real! Ghosts aren't real!" (Screams) "Ghosts aren't real!"

Narrator: "Discord was in such a hurry that he didn't see the damage road where Silver Shill had come off."

Discord: (Screams)

(Crash)

Discord: (Waking up from unconsciousness) "Help! Help! Help! Help!"

Spike: (Gasps)

Discord: "Spike, is that you? Have you come to help me?"

Spike: "Sorry, Discord, but I'm far too busy. It's nearly morning, and I have lots of jobs to do. Today is Star Swirl's grand Christmas lunch."

Discord: "Spike, wait."

Gizmo: "Are you sure about this, Spike?"

Spike: "Yes. Pile it on, Gizmo!"

(Garbage falls on Spike)

Lickety Split: (Chuckles) "I can't tell it's you."

Spike: "Perfect! That's the idea." (Chuckles)

Discord: (Sniffs) "What's that, that smell?"

Spike: "Ooooooh!"

Discord: "Help! Somebody! Anybody!"

Spike (In a ghostly voice): "I am the Ghost of Christmas Future!"

Discord: (Cries) "Oh no! This is the worst Christmas ever!"

Spike (In a ghostly voice): "If you think this is the worst Christmas, let me tell you what your future Christmases will be like.

If you don't start helping others, others will stop helping you. And you'll be left alone! Alone forever! Forever!"

Discord: "Help.

Help. I don't want to be left alone."

Narrator: "Meanwhile, up at the castle, Star Swirl was getting ready for all the guests to arrive."

Star Swirl the Bearded: "Merry Christmas, Pipsqueak! Presents over there, please.

The choir is here. Marvelous!

Fa la la la la la la la la!

And the food for the lunch. But where are all the guests?"

Discord: "Spike, have you come to help?"

Spike: "Yes, Discord. Of course I have. I couldn't just abandoned a creature who had just come off the path."

Discord: "Oh, thank you, Spike! Thank you! Thank you!

I'm as light as a feather. I'm as merry as a school boy!"

Spike: (Laughs)

Discord: "If there's anything I could do to help you, just let me know and I'll do it."

Spike: "Really? Do you honestly mean that, Discord?"

Discord: "Yes, Spike, I do mean it, I do." (Gasps) "I could take Bulk Biceps back to the rescue center."

Spike: "Thanks, Discord. That would really help. I'm already late to take the guests to Star Swirl's Christmas lunch."

Narrator: "Finally, Spike arrived at the town hall to pick up the passengers. He was in such a race to get to the castle that one important passenger got left behind."

Hoity Toity: "Huh? Wait for me!"

Narrator: "Discord had taken Bulk Biceps back to the search and rescue center, and was feeling very pleased with himself."

Discord: "I never thought I'd say it, but it feels good to be helpful. Yes, it feels..."

Hoity Toity: "Ohhhhh!"

Discord: "Oh no! Not another ghost!"

Hotiy Toity: "Ohhhhh! My ankle."

Discord: "Sir? Shouldn't you be at the castle?"

Hoity Toity: "Yes, but I have no way of getting there."

(Discord has an idea)

Choir: "Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!"

Star Swirl the Bearded: "Spike!"

Spike: "Merry Christmas, sir!"

Star Swirl the Bearded: "Welcome to my grand Christmas lunch! But where's Hoity Toity?"

(Discord arrives with Hoity Toity)

Hoity Toity: "Room for one more?"

Star Swirl the Bearded: "Let the grand Christmas lunch begin!"

(Everyone cheers)

Discord: "Those ghosts were right. It is quite nice to be helpful, and see everyone happy."

Silver Shill: "Well done, Spike! Your plan worked. Discord is now a really helpful draconequus."

Spike: "Merry Christmas, Discord!"

Discord: "Merry Christmas, Spike! Merry Christmas, everyone!"

(Everyone laughs)
