Spike and Angel's Great Race
Narrator: "Spike was waiting at a junction when a rabbit arrived."

Spike: "Hello,"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Who are you?"

Angel: "I'm Angel. Who are you?"

Spike: "I'm Spike. I run this path."

Angel: "So you're Spike, eh? I remember now. You got stuck in the snow. I took your passengers and Featherweight the Pegasus pulled you out. I've come to help you with your passengers today."

Spike: "Help me?"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "I can go faster than you."

Angel: "You can't."

Narrator: "Said Angel."

Spike: "I can!"

Narrator: "Huffed Spike."

Angel: "I'll race you."

Narrator: "Said Angel.

Their drivers agreed to the race going ahead.

The stationmaster said,

Stationmaster: "Are you ready? Go!"

Narrator: "Spike never could go fast at first, and Angel drew in front.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Why don't you go fast? Why don't you go fast?"

Narrator: "Called Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Spike: "Wait and see, wait and see."

Narrator: "Hissed Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "He's a long way ahead!"

Narrator: "They wailed.

But Spike didn't mind. He'd remembered the level crossing.

There was Angel, waiting at the gates, while they sailed gaily through."

Spike: "Goodbye, Angel!"

Narrator: "Called Spike.

After that, the paths left each other, so they couldn't see Angel.

Then, they had to stop at the station to let off passengers."

Spike: "Peep peep peep! Quickly, please!"

Narrator: "Called Spike, and off they went again."

Spike: "Come along, come along!"

Narrator: "Sang Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "We're coming along, we're coming along!"

Narrator: "Sang Apple Bloom and Sweetie."

Spike: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "Panted Spike, then he looked ahead. There was Angel, whistling triumphantly."

Spike: "Oh, dearie me. Oh, dearie me."

Narrator: "Groaned Spike."

Spike's Driver: "Steady, Spike."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike's Driver: "We'll beat Angel yet."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "We'll beat Angel yet, we'll beat Angel yet."

Narrator: "Echoed Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Spike: "We'll do it, we'll do it."

Narrator: "Panted Spike."

Spike: "Oh, bother! There's a station."

Narrator: "Then, he heard Angel."

Angel: "Goodbye, Spike! You must be tired. Sorry I can't stop. We rabbits have to work, you know. Good-bye."

Spike: "Oh, dear."

Narrator: "Thought Spike."

Spike: "We've lost."

Narrator: "But he felt better after a drink.

The signal dropped."

Spike: "Hurrah, we're off! Hurrah, we're off!"

Narrator: "Puffed Spike.

As they crossed the bridge, they heard an impatient whistle.

There was Angel, waiting at the traffic lights.

He started with a roar, and chased on after Spike again.

Now, Spike reached his full speed. Angel tried hard, but Spike was too fast.

Whistling triumphantly, he plunged into the tunnel, leaving Angel far behind."

Spike: "We've done it! We've done it!"

Narrator: "Panted Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "We've done it, hooray! We've done it, hooray!"

Narrator: "Chanted Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, as they whooshed into the last station.

Everyone was there to celebrate Spike's victory, but they gave Angel a big welcome, too."

Angel: "Well done, Spike!"

Narrator: "Said Angel."

Angel: "That was fun. But to beat you over that hill, I should have to grow wings and be an airplane!"

Narrator: "They now keep each other very busy. They often talk about their race. But Angel's passengers don't like being bounced like peas in a frying pan, and Hoity Toity has warned Spike not to race at dangerous speeds, so although, between you and me, they would like to have another race, I don't think they ever will, do you?"

Trouble in the Library
Narrator: "Hoity Toity sat in his office listening to the noise outside. The passengers were angry. The stationmaster came in."

Stationmaster: "There's trouble in the library, sir. Filthy Rich is sulking, there are no buffaloes and the passengers are saying this is a bad town."

Hoity Toity: "Indeed."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "We cannot allow that."

Narrator: "He found Big Mac, Cranky and Filthy Rich looking very cross."

Hoity Toity: "Come along, Filthy Rich. It's time your buffaloes are ready."

Big Macintosh: "Filthy Rich's not going!"

Narrator: "Said Big Macintosh."

Big Macintosh: "We won't arrange like little animals. That was Spike's job. We are important big animals. You fetch our buffaloes, and we will take them. Big animals don't arrange!"

Hoity Toity: "We'll see about that."

Narrtor: "Replied Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "No animal in my town is too important for small jobs."

Narrator: "And he hurried away to find Shining Armor."

Hoity Toity: "The yard's never been the same since Spike left to run his route."

Narrator: "He thought sadly.

Shining Armor was arranging changelings."

Hoity Toity: "Leave those changelings please, Shining Armor."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "I want you to fetch buffaloes for me in the yard."

Shining Armor: "Thank you, sir. That will be a nice change."

Hoity Toity: "That's a good unicorn. Off you go then."

Narrator: "So Shining Armor fetched buffaloes for the big animals and that day the lines ran as usual.

But next morning, Shining Armor looked unhappy. Big Mac came clanking past kicking dirt as usual."

Hoity Toity: "Bless me!"

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "What a noise!"

Shining Armor: "They all kicked dirt at me, sir."

Narrator: "Answered Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "They say big animals don't arrange, and last night, they said I have gray hooves. I haven't, have I sir?"

Hoity Toity: "No, Shining Armor. You have nice blue ones, and I'm proud of you. Big animals do arrange. But all the same, we do need another little animal here."

Narrator: "We went to a workshop, and they showed him all sorts of animals.

At last, we saw a nice little white one with brown spots."

Hoity Toity: "That's the one."

Narrator: "He thought."

Hoity Toity: "If I choose you, will you work hard?"

Pipsqueak: "Oh, sir. Yes, sir."

Hoity Toity: "That's a good filly. I'll call you 'Pipsqueak'."

Pipsqueak: "Yes, sir. Thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak. And Hoity Toity brought him back to the yard."

Hoity Toity: "Shining Armor,"

Narrator: "He called."

Hoity Toity: "Here's Pipsqueak. Will you show him everything?"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak soon learned what he had to do, and they had a happy afternoon.

Then, Filthy Rich came by, kicking as usual."

Pipsqueak: "Wheesh!"

Narrator: "Went Pipsqueak. Filthy Rich jumped and ran back to the library."

Shining Armor: "How beautifully you wheeshed him."

Narrator: "Laughed Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "I can't wheesh like that."

Pipsqueak: "Oh."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "That's nothing. You should here them in the workshop. You have to wheesh loudly to make yourself heard."

Narrator: "Next morning, Spike arrived."

Spike: "Hoity Toity sent for me. I expect he wants help."

Narrator: "He said to Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "Sh. Sh. Here he comes."

Narrator: "Replied Shining Armor."

Hoity Toity: "Well done, Spike. You've been quick. Listen, Filthy Rich, Big Mac and Cranky are sulking. They say they won't arrange like little animals. So I have shut them up, and I want you both to run the path for a while."

Spike: "Little animals, indeed!"

Narrator: "Snorted Spike."

Spike: "We'll show them!"

Hoity Toity: "And Pipsqueak will help too."

Pipsqueak: "Oh, sir. Yes, sir. Please, sir."

Narrator: "Answered Pipsqueak.

Shining Armor and Spike worked the main path, greeting each other as they pass by. Pipsqueak puffed along the branch path. Spike was anxious about Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, but both driver and conductor promised to take care of them.

There were fewer lines of buffaloes, but the passengers didn't mind. They knew that three other animals were having a lesson.

Big Mac, Cranky and Filthy Rich were cold, lonely and miserable. They wished now they hadn't been so silly."

Saved from Scrap
Narrator: "Hoity Toity works his animals hard, but they are very proud when he calls them 'really useful'."

Shining Armor: "I'm going to the scrapyard today."

Narrator: "Shining Armor called to Spike."

Spike: "What? Already? You're not that old!"

Narrator: "Replied Spike cheekily. Spike was only teasing.

The scrapyard is full of rusty old parts and machinery. They are broken into pieces, given to changelings, and Shining Armor takes them to the steelworks where they are melted down and used again.

Today, there was a surprise waiting for Shining Armor in the yard. It was a baby alligator."

Shining Armor: "Hello."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "You're not broken and rusty. What are you doing here?"

Gummy: "I'm Gummy. They're going to kill me next week."

Shining Armor: "What a shame."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Gummy: "My driver says I only need some new skin to be as good as new, but my owner says I'm old-fashion."

Narrator: "Shining Armor snorted."

Shining Armor: "People say I'm old-fashion, but I don't care. Hoity Toity says I'm a useful unicorn. What work did you do?"

Gummy: "My owner would send us from farm to farm. We threshed corn, hauled logs and did lots of other work. The children loved to see us."

Narrator: "Gummy shut his eyes, remembering."

Gummy: "Oh, yes. I like children."

Shining Armor: "Killed, what a shame. Killed, what a shame. I must help Gummy, I must!"

Narrator: "He thought of all his friends who like pets. But strangely, none of them would have room for a baby alligator at home."

Shining Armor: "It's a shame, it's a shame."

Narrator: "He hissed.

Then,"

Shining Armor: "Peep, peep! Why didn't I think of him before?"

Narrator: "There, on the platform was the very pony."

Vicar: "Hello, Shining Armor. You look upset. What's the matter, Charlie?"

Narrator: "He asked the driver."

Shining Armor's Driver: "There's a baby alligator in the scrapyard, Vicar. He'll be killed next week. Jem Cole says he never worked with a better alligator."

Shining Armor: "Do save him, sir. He saws wood and gives children rides."

Vicar: "We'll see."

Narrator: "Replied the vicar.

Jem Cole came on Saturday."

Jem Cole: "The reverend's coming to see you, Gummy. Maybe he'll buy you."

Gummy: "Do you think he will?"

Narrator: "Asked Gummy hopefully."

Jem Cole: "He will when I get you cleaned up."

Narrator: "The vicar and his two boys arrived that evening. Gummy hadn't felt so happy in months. He chuffered about the yard."

Vicar: "Show you paces, Gummy."

Narrator: "Said the vicar.

Later, he came out of the office smiling."

Vicar: "I've got him cheap, Jem! Cheap!"

Jem Cole: "Did you hear that, Gummy?"

Narrator: "Cried Jem."

Jem Cole: "The reverend saved you, and you'll live at the vicarage now."

Gummy: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Whistled Gummy.

Now, Gummy's home is in the vicarage orchard, and he sees Shining Armor everyday. His skin is spotless, and his tail shines. Gummy likes his work, but his happiest day is the church fair.

With a wooden cart attached to him, he chuffers around the orchard, giving rides to children.

Long afterwards, you will see him shut his eyes, remembering."

Gummy: "I like children."

Narrator: "He whispers happily."

A New Friend for Spike
Narrator: "Gummy the baby alligator enjoyed living in the vicarage orchard. Shining Armor came to see him everyday, but sometimes, Gummy didn't have enough work to do."

Gummy: "I do like to like to keep busy all the time."

Narrator: "He sighed one day."

Gummy: "And I do like company, especially children's company."

Shining Armor: "Cheer up."

Narrator: "Smiled Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "Hoity Toity has work for you at his new harbor. I'm to take you to meet Spike today."

Gummy: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Gummy happily."

Gummy: "A harbor, the seaside, children. That will be lovely!"

Narrator: "Spike was on his way to the harbor with a load of metal pilings. There were needed to make the harbor wall firm and safe."

Shining Armor: "Hello, Spike."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "This is Gummy, a friend of mine. He's a baby alligator."

Narrator: "Spike eyed the newcomer doubtfully."

Spike: "A what alligator?"

Narrator: "He asked."

Gummy: "A baby alligator."

Narrator: "Exclaimed Gummy."

Gummy: "I travel in water instead of roads. Can you take me to the harbor, please? Hoity Toity has a job for me."

Spike: "Yes, of course."

Narrator: "Replied Spike. But he was still puzzled.

Workmen gave Gummy to Spike, and soon, they were ready to start their journey."

Gummy: "I'm glad Hoity Toity needs me."

Narrator: "Called Gummy."

Gummy: "I don't have enough to do sometimes, you know, Although, I can work anywhere. In orchards, on farms, in scrapyards, even at harbors."

Spike: "But you don't run on the roads."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike."

Gummy: "I'm a baby alligator. I don't need roads to be useful."

Narrator: "Replied Gummy."

Gummy: "You wait and see."

Narrator: "When they reached the harbor, they found everything in confusion. Changelings were blocking the roads, and stone slabs lay everywhere."

Spike's Driver: "We must get these pilings past."

Narrator: "Said Spike's driver."

Spike's Driver: "Gummy, we need you to drag them around this mess."

Gummy: "Just the sort of job I like."

Narrator: "Replied Gummy."

Gummy: "Now you'll see Spike. I'll soon show you what baby alligators can do."

Narrator: "Gummy was as good as his word. He dragged the pilings clear with chains, and towed them into position."

Gummy: "Who needs roads?"

Narrator: "He muttered cheerfully to himself.

Later, Spike brought Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle to meet him. Spike was most impressed."

Spike: "Now I understand how useful a baby alligator can be."

Narrator: "The fillies had lots of children. Gummy gave them rides along the harbor. He liked this best of all."

Apple Bloom: "He's very kind."

Narrator: "Said Apple Bloom."

Sweetie Belle: "He reminds me of Spike."

Narrator: "Added Sweetie Belle.

Everyone was sorry when it was time for Gummy to go. Spike took him to the junction.

A small tear came into Gummy's eye. Spike pretended not to see. He whistled gaily to make Gummy happy."

Spike: "I'll come and see you if I can."

Narrator: "He promised."

Spike: "The vicar will look after you, and there's plenty of work for you now at the orchard. But we may need you again at the harbor someday."

Gummy: "That would be wonderful."

Narrator: "Said Gummy.

That evening, Gummy stood remember his new friend, Spike, the harbor and most of all, the children. Then he went happily to sleep in the house at the bottom of the orchard."

Granpony
Narrator: "One winter's night, when the cold wind blew, the animals found it hard to sleep."

Braeburn: "What we need..."

Narrator: "Suggested Braeburn,"

Braeburn: "Is to listen to a story."

Pipsqueak: "Yes."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "A mysterious story."

Soarin: "But,"

Narrator: "Added Soarin,"

Soarin: "It must have a happy ending."

Spike: "Driver told me a story,"

Narrator: "Said Spike, so everyone listened."

Spike: "Once upon a time,"

Narrator: "Began Spike."

Spike: "There were three little characters, who lived in their own little house on their own little land. Their names were Randolph, Rex and Hamm. Randolph was the oldest, and was named after his grace. He was proud of this, and liked to keep the younger characters in order.

Whenever they did anything that Randolph thought wrong, he would say,"

Randolph: "That would never suit his grace."

Spike: "Other characters came and went, but Randolph outlasted them all.

Rex and Hamm used to call him 'Granpony.' They were fond of him, but they got very tired of hearing all about 'his grace.'

Sometimes they would tease him and chant,"

Hamm and Rex: "Characters come and characters go, Granpony goes on forever."

Randolph: "You impertinent scallywags!"

Spike: "Randolph would say."

Randolph: "Whatever are you toys coming to?"

Rex: "Never mind, Granpony. We're only young once."

Randolph: "Well, you better mind. Unless you want to end up like Sid."

Hamm: "Oh, Granpony? What ever happened?"

Randolph: "Sid,"

Spike: "Said Randolph,"

Randolph: "Was a show-off!

He rode roughly and often came off of the road.

I warned him to be careful, but he took no notice."

Sid: "Listen, Randy,"

Randolph: "He said,"

Sid: "Who worries about a few spills?"

Randolph: "'We do here,' I said, but Sid just laughed."

Sid: "He he he he he!"

Randolph: "Until one day, manager said he was going to make him useful at last. Sid stopped laughing then."

Rex: "Well, why? What did he do?"

Randolph: "He turned him into a generator. He's still out there near our house. He'll never move again."

Spike: "After that, Rex and Hamm became really useful toys, and all three were happy together for many years.

Then, hard times came. The companies near the hills closed, and the land was closed, too. People came to buy the characters."

Passengers: "We'll take Rex and Hamm."

Spike: "No one wanted Randolph. They thought him 'Too old'."

Rex: "Cheer up, Granpony."

Spike: "Called Rex."

Rex: "We'll find you some nice land, and then you can come and keep us in order."

Spike: "They tried to be brave and cheerful, but no one really thought their dreams would come true.

Randolph's driver and fireman polished and greased him one last time. They sheeted him snugly, and said good-bye. Then they had to go away and find work. Randolph was alone.

Randolph: "Oh, well."

Spike: "He sighed."

Randolph: "I'll go to sleep. It'll help to pass the time."

Spike: Winter torrents washed soil from the hills. Trees and bushes grew all around. You wouldn't have known a house was there, let alone a pony asleep inside."

Pipsqueak: "That's not a happy ending!"

Narrator: "Cried Pipsqueak."

Spike: "Ah,"

Narrator: "Murmured Spike."

Spike: "There will be one, but that will have to wait until next time."

Sleeping Beauty
Narrator: "It was a beautiful night in Ponyville. The day's work was done and the animals puffed safely home."

Pipsqueak: "Spike,"

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Will you tell us the end of the story?"

Spike: "You mean the one about Randolph the Lost Pony?"

Filthy Rich: "Exactly."

Narrator: "Said Filthy Rich."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "But please remind us of the story so far."

Narrator: "So Spike began and here is the rest of the story he told."

Spike: "Randolph was old and lived with two young toys called Rex and Hamm. They teased Randolph and called him 'Granpony', but they were happy together.

Then, their land was closed down and the young toys went away. Randolph was left alone in the house. He went to sleep and everything around him changed. But Randolph was never forgotten.

Years went by until one day not long ago, visitors came to see Hoity Toity."

Visitors: "We want to find Randolph."

Spike: "They said."

Visitors: "And make him happy again."

Spike: "Maps layed everywhere."

Visitors: "If we follow the old road shown here on the map."

Spike: "They said."

Visitors: "We'll travel north of the village and then into the mountains. And look. There's the sign for the old station. If Randolph's anywhere, he's there."

Spike: "Everyone set off to the mountains far away.

The days went by, the search grew harder, but the rescuers wouldn't give up."

Visitors: "Let's go this way."

Spike: "They said.

But there was still no sign of Randolph."

Visitors: "He's here somewhere."

Spike: "They said. They scrambled over hills, struggled over ditches.

At last their search ended, quite by accident."

(Crash!)

Visitors: "We found him! We found our sleeping beauty."

Randolph: "Excuse me?"

Spike: "Enquired Randolph."

Randolph: "Are you a vandal? Driver told me vandals break and smash things."

Visitors: "Bless you, no."

Spike: "Laughed the rescuers."

Visitors: "We dropped in because we couldn't find your door. Hamm and Rex will be pleased to see you."

Randolph: "So they did remember."

Spike: "Sighed Randolph happily.

Then they all set off for Randolph's new home.

Rex and Hamm were ready for a big welcome."

Hamm and Rex: "He's here."

Spike: "They whispered."

Hamm and Rex: "Sh! Sh!"

Randolph: "You woke me up."

Spike: "Grumbled Randolph."

Randolph: "In my young days, characters were..."

Rex: "Seen and not heard, Granpony, we know."

Hamm: "We're all be back at work tomorrow. We're glad you've come back. We can keep you in order now."

Randolph: "Keep me in order? Be off with you! Impertinent scallywags!"

Spike: "But Randolph's old eyes twinkled, and for the first time in years, he smiled as he dozed in the sun.

And that..."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "...is the whole story. Did you like it?"

Other Animals: "Yes indeed."

Narrator: "Agreed the animals."

Other Animals: "Especially the happy ending."

Narrator: "And soon, they were all asleep too."

Make Someone Happy
Narrator: "It was holiday time in Ponyville. All the animals were working happily, except for Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Why should a splendid donkey like me take messy changelings instead of buffaloes? Pipsqueak or Dr. Hooves should do it, I'm too important!"

Narrator: "Spike was cross."

Spike: "Cranky, why don't you think about something or someone else for a change. You'll be surprise and how much better you'll feel if you do."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Oh, please! Being important is the only thing for me to think about. Huh!"

Pipsqueak: "That pegasus pony's making a great deal of noise."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak to Dr. Whooves."

Dr. Hooves: "Her name's Lighning Dust."

Narrator: "Replied Dr. Hooves."

Dr. Hooves: "And she's flying around telling everyone about the fair that's arriving today."

Spike: "What are you two doing here?"

Dr. Hooves: "Hoity Toity wants us to pick up a very special load for the harbor."

Pipsqueak: "And I think it's got something to do with the fair."

Narrator: "Then they puffed away.

Meanwhile, Cranky was collecting quarry changelings from the yards."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Dustier and dustier!"

Narrator: "He grumbled. Then he saw Goldie Delicious."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "She looks miserable."

Cranky Doodle Donkey's Driver: "What's the matter?"

Narrator: "Asked Cranky's driver."

Goldie Delicious: "My sister has run to tell me she can't come to stay with me. I was so looking forward to her visit."

Narrator: "Hoity Toity soon heard the sad news."

Hoity Toity: "We must cheer her up. Send Owlowiscious the Owl to pick her up immediately."

Narrator: "A few minutes later, there was a surprise for Goldie Delicious."

Owlowiscious: "All president and correct."

Narrator: "Called Owlowiscious."

Owlowiscious: "I'm here for a flying visit. Hurry aboard Goldie Delicious and fly the sky with me. Compliments of Hoity Toity."

Goldie Delicious: "Oh, how lovely!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Owlowiscious' made my fur dustier than ever!"

Narrator: "Muttered Cranky. But he was happy for Goldie Delicious.

Soon, she was flying high with Owlowiscious."

Goldie Delicious: "I've never seen the town like this before. It's wonderful!"

Narrator: "Meanwhile, Pipsqueak and Dr. Hooves had arrived at the docks. Gustave Le Grand was unloading an old tramp steamer."

Gustave: "Hey down there, you two, I'm playing lucky dip in the tramper's hold, and all these are for you."

Pipsqueak: "Wooden horses!"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak exclaimed."

Pipsqueak: "For the carousel ride. It's going to be a very exciting fair!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "It is indeed."

Narrator: "Whistled Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Hoity Toity has order me to stop pulling changelings and go to the station instead, Something to do with Goldie Delicious. Goodbye!"

Pipsqueak: "Well, what do you think of that?"

Narrator: "Cried Pipsqueak.

Goldie Delicious was waiting for Cranky with Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "Now this is your very special treat. Cranky will take you on a mystery ride, and I shall meet you at your destination."

Narrator: "Cranky took Goldie Delicious along her favorite coastal route to Ponyville Bay. When he arrived there, a big surprise awaited Goldie Delicious."

Goldie Delicious: "Oh!"

Narrator: "She cried."

Goldie Delicious: "You brought me to the fair ground, how lovely!"

Narrator: "Best of all, Hoity Toity invited her to make the announcements."

Goldie Delicious: "I declare this fair ground open!"

Narrator: "Goldie Delicious had the first ride on the carousel."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "You were quite right, Spike."

Narrator: "Cranky whispered."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Making someone happy does cheer you up."

Narrator: "Then together, they watched the fun of the fair."

A Bad Day for Owlowiscious
Narrator: "Owlowiscious the Owl loves flying. Up in the bright blue sky, over Ponyville, he looks out for anyone in distress.

Sometimes he delivers the mail. This makes Pipsqueak very cross."

Owlowiscious: "The mail run is done. Is there any more? I can deliver it for you in a jiff! That's what friends are for."

Pipsqueak: "Delivering the mail is a pony's job!"

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak grumpily.

Pipsqueak has many jobs, but carrying the mail is his favorite. It makes him feel really useful.

The next morning, Pipsqueak was happily delivering the mail."

Pipsqueak: "Must be on time, must be on time!"

Narrator: "He chuffed.

But up ahead, there was trouble with the signal box. It was broken. The signal engineers did not know how long it would take to fix. Pipsqueak had to stop, It's not safe for animals to run without signals. But Pipsqueak was very upset."

Pipsqueak: "I'm going to be late."

Narrator: "He cried."

Pipsqueak: "And it's not even my fault!"

Narrator: "Hoity Toity was in his office enjoying his toast and marmalade when he heard the news."

Hoity Toity: "Pipsqueak is stuck at a broken signal? Then Owlowiscious must take the mail."

Narrator: "Poor Pipsqueak was still waiting, and still upset. The last time he was held up, the mail was given to Owlowiscious."

Pipsqueak: "It made me feel like a really useless filly."

Narrator: "He sighed."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Well, the mail must arrive on time."

Narrator: "Said his driver.

Just then, they heard a familiar sound coming from above."

Owlowiscious: "Hello!"

Narrator: "Said Owlowiscious."

Owlowiscious: "Hoity Toity says you need my help. That's what friends are for!"

Pipsqueak: "Oh no!"

Narrator: "Cried Pipsqueak. But Hoity Toity had made up his mind. There was nothing Pipsqueak could do.

Pipsqueak's driver helped lead the mailbags into Owlowiscious' cargo net."

Owlowiscious' Pilot: "Maybe we should take the mail bags a few at a time."

Narrator: "Said Owlowiscious' pilot."

Owlowiscious' Pilot: "They're very heavy."

Owlowiscious: "I'd have to make too many trips. Then I'd be as slow as Pipsqueak!"

Narrator: "And so they loaded all the mail into Owlowiscious' net at once. And the engineer continued to work on the signal.

Just as they finished loading, a signal engineer cried out."

Signal Engineer: "It's fixed!"

Narrator: "He said."

Pipsqueak: "Wait, Owlowiscious!"

Narrator: "Shouted Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "I'm ready to go!"

Narrator: "But it was too late. Owlowiscious had already taken off. Pipsqueak watched the mail disappear. He was upset.

But then they all heard a strange sound."

Owlowiscious' Pilot: "Watch for those trees, Owlowiscious!"

Narrator: "Cried his pilot."

Owlowiscious: "My net is too heavy!"

Narrator: "Wailed Owlowiscious."

Pipsqueak: "Owlowiscious is in trouble!"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak cried."

Pipsqueak: "We must try to help him!"

(Owlowiscious crashes into a haystack)

Pipsqueak: "Are you all right?"

Narrator: "Called Pipsqueak."

Owlowiscious: "Just get someone to pull me out of this haystack."

Narrator: "Sputtered Owlowiscious. And Pipsqueak did, as fast as he could.

The next day, Owlowiscious was better and he was flying again. Pipsqueak was very pleased to see him."

Pipsqueak: "Want to take the mail, Owlowiscious?"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak teased."

Pipsqueak: "I'll stand by with the rescue team!"

Narrator: "All the animals cheered. And Owlowiscious hovered so low that only Pipsqueak could hear."

Owlowiscious: "Thanks for getting help to pull me out of that haystack, my friend!"

Narrator: "He said."

Pipsqueak: "That's all right."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "That's what friends are for!"

Unicorn Trouble
Narrator: "Night Light and Hondo Flanks are unicorn fathers. They're practical, peppery, and proud.

They nearly always work together.

One day, Night Light and Hondo Flanks were chuffing through the countryside, hauling a heavy load.

Down the line, Gummy the Baby Alligator had been struggling with a big cartload of hay. Crossing the road, the cart's wheels broke off. Then Gummy heard a whistle."

Gummy: "Oh, no!"

Narrator: "Gummy cried."

Narrator: "Night Light could see the cart!"

Night Light: "Stop!"

Narrator: "He cried. Night Light's driver applied the brakes, but it was too late!"

(CRASH!)

Narrator: "Luckily, no one was hurt."

Night Light: "Stop being pushy!"

Narrator: "Night Light snapped."

Hondo Flanks: "Don't call me 'pushy'!"

Narrator: "Hondo snapped back."

Night Light: "You shouldn't have pushed me into the cart!"

Narrator: "Huffed Night Light."

Hondo Flanks: "You pulled me, you mean!"

Narrator: "Argued Hondo."

Night Light: "Didn't!"

Hondo Flanks: "Did!"

Night Light: "Did not!"

Hondo Flanks: "Did too!"

Narrator: "Before long, the path was cleared, and Night Light and Hondo Flanks were on their way.

The unicorns were so cross, they refused to speak to each other for the rest of the day.

The next day, Hoity Totiy needed an animal to help Soarin at the smelter's yard.

Night Light: "May I go, sir?"

Narrator: "Said Night Light, eagerly."

Hoity Toity: "I only need one animal."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "Not two."

Night Light: "I am only one animal, sir."

Narrator: "Said Night Light."

Night Light: "And I would like to work with Soarin."

Narrator: "Hoity Toity was surprised, but agreed.

Spike was worried."

Spike: "Won't you miss one another?"

Narrator: "He asked."

Spike: "I know I'd miss Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Hondo Flanks: "I'll work better on my own!"

Narrator: "Sniffed Hondo."

Night Light: "I have work to do."

Narrator: "Huffed Night Light.

At first, Night Light enjoyed working with Soarin.

Then, things started to go wrong."

Night Light: "Did you put those changelings onto the other path?"

Narrator: "Night Light asked."

Soarin "You said you wanted them on the other path."

Narrator: "Soarin replied."

Night Light: "Not that other path; the other other path."

Narrator: "Night Light was cross."

Night Light: "Hondo Flanks would have known what I meant."

Narrator: "He huffed.

Hondo was working on his own. He chuffed dutifully through the beautiful countryside.

But Hondo had no one to share it with.

Although he tried not to, he was beginning to miss his friend.

That night, Hondo's driver took him to visit Night Light."

Hondo Flanks: "I was just passing."

Narrator: "Said Hondo."

Night Light: "Have you come to say you're sorry?"

Narrator: "Night Light sniffed. This made Hondo very cross."

Hondo Flanks: "I've nothing to be sorry for!"

Narrator: "He said, and steamed away in a huff.

The next day, Night Light was in a bad mood. Soarin could see he was getting too close to the barriers.

Soarin: "Look out!"

Narrator: "He shouted. But it was too late."

(CRASH!)

"Night Light's driver was very cross."

Night Light's Driver: "This wouldn't have happened if you were working with Hondo Flanks!"

Narrator: "He said. Night Light knew he was right, and Soarin knew he couldn't pull Night Light back onto the path. So he went for help.

Hondo was sadly finishing his work as Soarin steamed into the depot."

Soarin: "Night Light is in trouble!"

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Hondo Flanks: "Night Light in trouble?"

Narrator: "Hondo cried."

Hondo Flanks: "I'm on my way!"

Narrator: "And he steamed off as fast as he could.

Hondo struggled and struggled. He finally pulled his friend gently back onto the path.

He was relieved Night Light wasn't hurt."

Night Light: "Thank you."

Narrator: "Night Light said."

Night Light: "And I'm sorry."

Hondo Flanks: "No, I'm sorry."

Narrator: "Said Hondo Flanks."

Night Light: "I'm sorry!"

Narrator: "Insisted Night Light."

Soarin: "Don't argue about who's sorry!"

Narrator: "Chuckled Soarin."

Soarin: "Just be glad you're back together!"

Narrator: "And they were."

Shining Armor the Really Useful Unicorn
Narrator: "The animals in Ponyville are good at different things.

Big Macintosh is a very good express. Pipsqueak is good at carrying the mail. And when Shining Armor is not hauling changelings, he is very good at being a back animal. When animals have heavy loads, Shining Armor walks up behind and helps push. But Shining Armor is old. Some animals think this makes him unreliable."

Big Macintosh: "Shining Armor is a useless old unicorn!"

Narrator: "Big Mac sniffed."

Big Macintosh: "He should be retired!"

Pipsqueak: "But he doesn't have tires."

Narrator: "Pipsqueak said."

Spike: "Retire,"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Means taken out of service."

Big Macintosh: "And not a moment too soon."

Narrator: "Said Big Mac. And the other big animals agreed with him, but Pipsqueak was very upset.

Later, his driver asked him why he looked so glum. Pipsqueak told him about Shining Armor."

Pipsqueak: "The big animals don't think he's useful anymore."

Narrator: "He said.

Pipsqueak's driver saw Hoity Toity, and told him what Pipsqueak had said."

Hoity Toity: "I will attend to the matter immediately."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity.

Hoity Toity had a plan."

Hoity Toity: "The new loop path is completed."

Narrator: "He said to Shining Armor."

Hoity Toity: "I want you to teach Noteworthy how to run it properly."

Shining Armor: "But, sir,"

Narrator: "He asked."

Shining Armor: "Who will look after the changelings?"

Hoity Toity: "Soarin will do your work."

Narrator: "Hoity Toity replied.

When the other animals heard Soarin was going to help them, they were pleased."

Filthy Rich: "Soarin is very reliable."

Narrator: "Said Filthy Rich."

Big Macintosh: "It makes no difference to me!"

Narrator: "Said Big Mac pompously."

Big Macintosh: "I don't need a back animal!"

Narrator: "And he stomped away.

Shining Armor enjoyed working with Noteworthy. It was great fun delivering passengers to stations in the beautiful countryside.

But Soarin was not happy. The changelings were playing their silly games."

Changelings: "Soarin should play with other birds cause he's no good at pulling changelings. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet! Hold back, hold back!"

Narrator: "They giggled. Soarin found himself going slower, and slower, and slower. Halfway up Big Mac's Hill, his hooves and wings stopped altogether. Soarin was stuck."

Soarin's Driver: "Oh no!"

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Soarin's Driver: "This is Big Mac's path."

Narrator: "Soarin's guard phoned the signalman to warn him."

Signalman: "It's too late to switch Big Mac to the middle path."

Narrator: "Said the signalman."

Signalman: "You'll have to flag him down."

Narrator: "Big Mac saw the guard."

Big Macintosh: "If I stop on this hill, I'll never get started again!"

Narrator: "He said crossly, and he walked up to Soarin. Big Mac tried to set off again, but his feet spun and spun."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "It's no good. We need a back animal."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "I'll send for Shining Armor."

Narrator: "Big Mac was cross.

Shining Armor was excited. He was going to be the back animal for two animals.

Shining Armor cheerfully walked up behind, and the strange line set off.

They chuffed gently into the station."

Stephen Hatt: "Look at that!"

Narrator: "Laughed a boy."

Stephen Hatt: "The back animal must be the strongest and the best."

Narrator: "Big Mac was embarrassed. Hoity Toity spoke severely to Big Mac."

Hoity Toity: "You have said rude things about Shining Armor. He proved today that he is useful, reliable and very helpful!"

Narrator: "Big Mac felt very ashamed.

The next morning, Big Mac apologized."

Big Macintosh: "Thank you for helping me, Shining Armor."

Narrator: "Puffed Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "You really are a useful unicorn."

Shining Armor: "It's good to be back."

Narrator: "Shining Armor chuffed happily.

Hoity Toity's plan had worked. There was no more talk about Shining Armor retiring."

Slinky Saves the Day
Narrator: "Slinky is a little slinky dog toy who works at the quarry in Ponyville.

Slinky's best friends are Buzz Lightyear. Slinky helps keep their path clear. Sometimes, Slinky works so hard clearing their path that the slinky dog forgets there's also work to be done at the quarry.

One day, Slinky returned late to the quarry. Hoity Toity was cross."

Slinky's Driver: "Sorry, sir."

Narrator: "Slinky's driver said."

Slinky's Driver: "We were helping Buzz and Woody."

Hoity Toity: "I know you like helping Buzz and Woody. But their path is in bad condition. It takes too much of your time."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "I am going to shut it down."

Narrator: "Slinky was upset."

Slinky: "But what will Buzz Lightyear and Woody do?"

Narrator: "Slinky asked."

Hoity Toity: "They will come and work with you here at the quarry."

Narrator: "He had made up his mind. There was nothing Slinky could do.

Their path was closed down. Buzz and Woody came to work at the quarry. They worked as hard as they could, but they missed the forests and hills. Most of all, they missed their passengers.

Slinky could see they were not happy.

Hoity Toity came to the quarry with important news."

Hoity Toity: "We are going to be blasting for the next two weeks."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "It won't be safe for you here. I'll have to find you other work."

Slinky: "Please, sir."

Narrator: "Slinky said."

Slinky: "May we use the next two weeks to repair Buzz and Woody's path? Then they can go back to their old jobs."

Slinky's Driver: "There are plenty of line workers available."

Narrator: "Slinky's driver added. Hoity Toity agreed."

Hoity Toity: "But you have only two weeks to complete the job."

Narrator: "He said sternly.

Buzz Lightyear and Woody's path was covered in rocks and branches. The path had holes in several places.

Trixie the Blue Unicorn thought cleaning up the path was ridiculous."

Trixie: "What a waste of time!"

Narrator: "She sniffed. Woody was upset."

Woody: "She's right."

Narrator: "He said."

Woody: "We'll never get it done in two weeks."

Slinky: "We can't give up!"

Narrator: "Said Slinky. The toys worked harder than ever, but time was running out.

The next day, Slinky had a clever idea."

Slinky: "If only we had a unicorn to help us."

Narrator: "Slinky sighed. Trixie stopped."

Trixie: "But I couldn't possibly help you. I'm a great and powerful unicorn."

Slinky: "Well, we do need a special kind of unicorn."

Narrator: "Slinky teased."

Trixie: "I am a special kind of unicorn."

Narrator: "Protested Trixie."

Slinky: "It requires hauling."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Trixie: "I can haul."

Narrator: "Said Trixie."

Slinky: "And pulling heavy branches."

Narrator: "Added Slinky."

Trixie: "Well of course I can pull."

Slinky: "So you'll do it."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Trixie: "Well, of course!"

Narrator: "Said Trixie proudly.

Trixie was as good as her work. She hauled rubbish, and pulled branches from the path.

She helped remove a fallen sycamore tree from the bridge."

Slinky: "Thank you, Trixie."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "We couldn't have done it without you."

Trixie: "I know."

Narrator: "Said Trixie proudly.

Hoity Toity inspected the line. He was very impressed."

Hoity Toity: "Well done, Slinky."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: And well done, Trixie. We will open this path immediately."

Narrator: "Slinky was proud. Buzz Lightyear and Woody were very happy."

Hoity Toity: "Maybe now, Slinky will have time to work at the quarry."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity, and Slinky just smiled."

Rarity's New Rabbits
Narrator: "It was a splendid day in Ponyville. Spike was taking Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle back to the library. A new unicorn had arrived and he wanted to say hello. The unicorn was beautiful with a shiny mane and a gleaming horn."

Hoity Toity: "Spike, meet Rarity."

Spike: "Hello, Rarity."

Rarity: "Hello, Spike."

Hoity Toity: "Rarity, collect your stuff. You and your driver must learn the line."

Rarity: "Yes, sir."

Narrator: "She answered. Spike was impressed.

Later, the only fillies Rarity's driver could find were Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Rarity's Driver: "These aren't your sort of ponies."

Narrator: "He said."

Rarity's Driver: "But I'll suppose they'll do."

Narrator: "Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle felt insulted."

Sweetie Belle: "How dare he say we'll do."

Narrator: "Sweetie Belle whispered.

Rarity walked carefully along the road."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "How dare he say we'll do, how dare he say we'll do."

Narrator: "Grumbled the fillies.

Spike saw Rarity coming down the path, with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Rarity: "Hello, Spike."

Narrator: "Rarity called. But Spike was cross."

Spike: "Those are my fillies. Give them back!"

Narrator: "But Rarity didn't hear Spike and she went on her way.

Then, Shining Armor passed and Pipsqueak. When Rarity whistled hello, the animals didn't whistle back. Rarity couldn't understand why they were so unfriendly. She was upset.

Later, Hoity Toity spoke to Spike."

Hoity Toity: "I want you to go to the docks to pick up new rabbits."

Spike: "New rabbits? But sir,"

Hoity Toity: "Really useful animals don't argue."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity.

Spike didn't want new rabbits. He wanted Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle back.

When Dr. Hooves saw Rarity return to the library, he was surprised."

Dr. Hooves: "Those are Spike's fillies."

Rarity: "So that's why he looked cross."

Narrator: "Exclaimed Rarity."

Rarity: "I'll go and apologize."

Spike: "Don't want new rabbits, don't want new rabbits!"

Narrator: "Chuffed Spike.

Later, Rarity was still looking for Spike when a signalman flagged her down."

The Signalman: "Dr. Hooves hasn't cleared his signalbox."

Narrator: "He told Rarity's driver."

The Signalman: "Please, go and see what's wrong."

Narrator: "Rarity could see that Dr. Hooves had hurt himself on the crossing. Then Rarity heard Spike's whistle."

Rarity: "Oh dear!"

Narrator: "Spike could see Dr. Hooves. He knew he could never stop in time."

Dr. Hooves: "Help!"

Narrator: "Rarity charged towards Dr. Hooves and with a huge effort, pushed him across the road, just in time."

Dr. Hooves: "Thanks."

Rarity: "I did it."

Narrator: "Later, Hoity Toity praised Rarity."

Hoity Toity: "Well done. You were a very brave pony."

Dr. Hooves: "The bravest."

Narrator: "Chuffed Dr. Hooves."

Hoity Toity: "It gives me great pleasure to present you with two new rabbits."

Rarity: "Thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Replied Rarity."

Rarity: "Spike, I'm sorry I took Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Spike: "And I'm sorry I was so cross."

Narrator: "Replied Spike."

Rarity: "Friends?"

Spike: "Friends."

Narrator: "Rarity loves her rabbits and being part of Hoity Toity's town."

Spike and the Rainbow
Narrator: "Spike has friends all over Ponyville. Friends at the Docks, and friends at the farm. All of the animals are Spike's friends. And so are all the children.

One night, there had been a summer storm in Equestria. Hoity Toity came to Golden Oak Library. He looked very serious."

Hoity Toity: "A strong wind has blown down the telephone lines."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "Spike, you must take the engineers to fix the telephone lines, or it will cause confusion and delay."

Narrator: "He boomed."

Spike: "Yes, sir."

Narrator: "Said Spike, and he puffed away.

Spike arrived at the Docks. The telephone engineers gathered round Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Then Spike noticed something in the sky. Spike thought it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen."

Spike: "Look at all the colors, Shining Armor."

Narrator: "Gasped Spike."

Spike: "Red and blue and yellow and green."

Shining Armor: "That's a rainbow."

Narrator: "Puffed Shining Armor wisely."

Shining Armor: "An old story says you'll find something magical at the end of the rainbow."

Spike: "Something magical."

Narrator: "Gasped Spike."

Spike: "That sounds wonderful. I must find the end of the rainbow right away."

Narrator: "And he wheeshed away as fast as he could.

Spike had to stop at a junction. The rainbow was overhead. Pipsqueak was already waiting."

Pipsqueak: "Hello, Spike."

Narrator: Pipsqueak said cheerfully."

Spike: "Sorry."

Narrator: "Spike puffed."

Spike: "No time to talk. I have to find the end of the rainbow."

Narrator: "And he chuffed quickly away.

Spike puffed up Big Macintosh's Hill. The end of the rainbow was just over the top. But when Spike reached the top, the end of the rainbow had moved."

Spike: "Bother!"

Narrator: "Said Spike.

Spike had to let some engineers off at the bridge. He could see the rainbow up ahead. Children on the bridge waved at Spike and called hello. Spike just chuffed away."

Spike: "Sorry, no time to talk."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Spike: "I have to find the end of the rainbow."

Narrator: "Spike took the telephone engineers all across the town. Over the hills and through the valleys. All the time, he was looking forward for the end of the rainbow."

Spike: "Must find the end, must find the end."

Narrator: "He puffed.

When Spike passed Filthy Rich, Filthy Rich asked him for some help."

Spike: "Sorry."

Narrator: "Cried Spike."

Spike: "I don't have time to stop. I'm looking for the end of the rainbow."

Narrator: "But the end of the rainbow was always just around the corner.

Finally, Spike past Braeburn."

Braeburn: "Slow down, Spike!"

Narrator: "Braeburn cried."

Braeburn: "There's something ahead on the path!"

Narrator: "But Spike wasn't listening. He was sure the end of the rainbow was just around the corner. But then there was trouble. Spike hit the telegraph pole and they all came off the path. Luckily, no one was hurt."

Spike: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "Spike cried. Spike was stuck. His driver couldn't phone for help. The telephone lines were still not working. Then Spike spotted Pipsqueak far away."

Spike: "Help!"

Narrator: "Cried Spike."

Spike: "Pipsqueak, help!"

Narrator: "And he whistled as loud as he could. Spike watched sadly as Pipsqueak puffed away."

Spike: "Pipsqueak isn't talking to me because I didn't have time to talk to him."

Narrator: "Thought Spike."

Spike: "I was too busy chasing the end of the rainbow."

Narrator: "Spike knew it was his fault.

But Pipsqueak had heard Spike's whistle. He knew Spike was in trouble. And he was hurrying to get help."

Pipsqueak: "Spike is in trouble!"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak called as he passed Filthy Rich.

Then Filthy Rich told Angel the Rabbit.

And Angel told the children.

The children told Cranky.

Cranky told Owlowiscious.

And Owlowiscious told Caramel. Caramel set off right away.

Caramel found Spike in no time at all. Soon, he had them all back on the path."

Spike: "Thank you for rescuing us, Caramel."

Narrator: "Said Spike. Caramel told Spike how the message had been passed on."

Caramel: "All of your friends had helped rescue you."

Narrator: "He said. Spike was very happy indeed.

Spike puffed along. The rainbow was still in the sky. But Spike didn't try to find the end of the rainbow. He worked as hard as he could until all the telephones were working again.

As Spike returned to Golden Oak Library, he was amazed to find the end of the rainbow. It was right over Golden Oak Library."

Spike: "The old story was right!"

Narrator: "Gasped Spike."

Spike: "There is something magical at the end of the rainbow; my friends. Friends are the most wonderful thing of all."

Spike and the New Pony
Narrator: "The animals in Ponyville keep very busy. There are always lots of jobs to do.

One morning, Hoity Toity came to the library."

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

Narrator: "He announced."

Hoity Toity: "His name is Trenderhoof. You must all make him feel welcome. A happy pony is a useful pony."

Narrator: "Later, Spike stopped at a red signal. The signalman called down to Spike."

Signalman: "The bridge ahead is unsafe. Spike, you are to collect a piece of iron work, so the bridge can be repaired.

Spike: "Yes, sir!"

Narrator: "Huffed Spike.

At the yards, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were with Trenderhoof, the new pony. Trenderhoof was a unicorn, but he wore glasses. Trenderhoof was backing up towards some crates."

Diamond Tiara: "Nearly there."

Narrator: "Said Diamond Tiara cheekily."

Silver Spoon: "Nearly there."

Narrator: "Said Silver Spoon naughtily. Then there was trouble."

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: "Watch where you're going, clumsy hooves!"

Narrator: "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed. Trenderhoof looked sad."

Silver Spoon: "It's not our fault if you're a silly pony!"

Narrator: "Said Silver Spoon, and they laughed even harder.

Spike arrived at the yards. He could see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughing with Trenderhoof."

Spike: "That must be the new pony."

Narrator: "He thought."

Spike: "He must be friends with the rude fillies."

Narrator: "Spike arrived at Town Hall."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Have you seen the new pony yet?"

Narrator: "Asked Cranky."

Spike: "Yes,"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "But we better be careful. I saw him at the yards with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They were laughing together."

Narrator: "Cranky was shocked."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "A pony, friendly with rude fillies?"

Narrator: "As Spike left, Shining Armor pulled in."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Have you heard about the new pony?"

Narrator: "Snorted Cranky. And he started to tell Shining Armor all about Trenderhoof.

Later, Shinnig Armor was having a drink. He was talking to Pipsqueak."

Shining Armor: "That new pony, Trenderhoof, is best friends with the rude fillies."

Narrator: "Shining Armor Puffed."

Shining Armor: "He doesn't want to be with kind animals at all."

Pipsqueak: "How do you know?"

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak."

Shining Armor: "Cranky told me, and Spike told him."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor.

Later, Pipsqueak met Rarity at a red signal."

Pipsqueak: "Don't go near Trenderhoof, the new pony."

Narrator: "He told her."

Pipsqueak: "The rude fillies have told him to biff into kind animals. Shining Armor told me, Cranky told Shining Armor, and they heard all about it from Spike."

Narrator: "When Spike arrived at the station, Hoity Toity was there."

Hoity Toity: "Spike, you must warn all animals not to cross the bridge until it's repaired."

Narrator: "He boomed.

Hoity Toity felt proud, it was a very useful job.

Just then, he heard a whistle. Someone was coming. Spike had to warn them.

It was Trenderhoof, with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Spike was shocked. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were his fillies!"

Trenderhoof: "Hello."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike cheerfully."

Spike: "I'm not talking to you!"

Narrator: "Spike huffed crossly. Trenderhoof didn't know what he had done.

Then, Rarity pulled in next to Trenderhoof."

Trenderhoof: "Hello."

Narrator: "Said Trenderhoof happily.

Rarity let out an angry huff."

Rarity: "It's no use trying to make friends with me. I know you're going to biff into all the kind animals, just like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon told you to."

Narrator: "Spike was surprised, but the stationmaster blew his whistle, and Trenderhoof puffed sadly away."

Spike: "Where did you hear that Trenderhoof is going to biff into all the kind animals?"

Narrator: "Spike asked Rarity."

Rarity: "Don't you know?"

Narrator: "Rarity said."

Rarity: "Pipsqueak told me, Shining Armor told Pipsqueak, Cranky told Shining Armor, and you told Cranky!"

Narrator: "Huffed Rarity."

Spike: "But I only said to Cranky that I'd seen Trenderhoof with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon."

Narrator: "Then Braeburn arrived."

Braeburn: "Have you heard about Trenderhoof, the new pony?"

Narrator: "He puffed."

Braeburn: "Filthy Rich saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon be horrible to him at the yards."

Narrator: "Rarity was shocked. Spike couldn't believe it; Trenderhoof wasn't friends with the rude fillies after all!"

Rarity: "Where was Trenderhoof going?"

Narrator: "Rarity asked."

Buster: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "Cried Spike."

Spike: "Trenderhoof's headed for the broken bridge! I must stop him!"

Narrator: "Trenderhoof was speeding through the countryside as fast as he could.

Suddenly, Trenderhoof saw a barrier in his path. He screeched to a halt, but it was too late.

Trenderhoof was in terrible trouble. He was on the broken end of the bridge.

Spike knew it was all his fault. Suddenly, he had an idea. Spike snuck slowly and carefully onto the bridge. He gently grabbed Sweetie Belle and held on. Spike was very scared.

Slowly and steadily, he began to pull Trenderhoof back from the edge. The bridge made a creaking noise.

Spike knew he must hurry. He pulled as hard as he could, and with one big puff, he pulled Trenderhoof's hooves off the bridge.

Spike had done it. He had saved Trenderhoof, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle!"

Trenderhoof: "Thank you."

Narrator: "Said Trenderhoof."

Spike: "I should have warned you,"

Narrator: "Puffed Spike."

Spike: "But I was too busy believing silly stories. I thought you didn't like kind animals, but now I know I was wrong."

Narrator: "Spike gave Trenderhoof a long, friendly whistle. Trenderhoof was very happy. At last, he knew he had a good friend in Spike."

Spike and the Statue
Narrator: "Winter was coming to Equestria. The leaves had fallen from the trees, and fog rolled over the countryside.

One chilly morning, Hoity Toity came to Golden Oak Library. He had a special announcement to make."

Hoity Toity: "A statue is to be put up at Ponyville Park."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "It will celebrate the town of Ponyville."

Narrator: "The animals were very excited. Spike was to collect the statue from Ponyville Docks."

Pipsqueak: "I wonder what it will be."

Narrator: "Peeped Pipsqueak."

Spike: "As soon as I find out,"

Narrator: "Puffed Spike."

Spike: "I'll come back and tell you."

Narrator: "And he steamed away.

But when Spike arrived at the docks, Gustave was still unloading the statue."

Spike: "Hurry up, Gustave."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "I wanna be the first to see it."

Narrator: "Gustave didn't like being rushed."

Gustave: "Why are you so excited to see the statue? You think it's gonna be of you?"

Narrator: "He scuffed. Spike didn't say anything. He was too busy watching the workmen open the crate. The statue was covered by a large waterproof sheet. It had a very familiar look. There was a tall head shape at the front, and then a tail shape at the back. The shape was just like Spike's shape. Suddenly, Thomas was very excited."

Spike: "Perhaps,"

Narrator: "He whistled."

Spike: "It really could be of me."

Narrator: "That night, Spike couldn't wait to tell the other animals about his statue. But when he arrived at the library,all the animals were asleep. Spike was too excited to sleep. He peeped his whistle to wake Pipsqueak up."

Spike: (whispering) "Pipsqueak, Pipsqueak! I think the statue was of me."

Narrator: "Boasted Spike."

Pipsqueak: "Really, Spike?"

Narrator: "Yawned Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: (yawning) "That's nice."

Spike: "It will be wonderful to have my very own statue."

Narrator: "Tooted Spike. He couldn't wait for morning to come.

The following day, Hoity Toity told the animals they were go to the showers. All except Spike. He was to collect more things for the statue.

First, Spike went to the Train Station. He was to collect the special block for the statue stand on."

Spike: "Are you looking forward to seeing my statue?"

Narrator: "He called to Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "It might not be your statue."

Narrator: "Huffed Shining Armor. But Spike wasn't listening.

Spike arrived at the Marketplace. He had to collect to a special podium for Hoity Toity to stand on."

Spike: "Look!"

Narrator: "Spike cried to Rarity."

Spike: "Hoity Toity will make a speech when they uncover my statue."

Rarity: "Who says it's going to be your statue?"

Narrator: "Rarity huffed."

Spike: "You'll see."

Narrator: "Said Spike, and he wheeshed away.

Pipsqueak arrived as Spike's wagons were being unloaded. Spike started to talk to Pipsqueak about his statue again."

Pipsqueak: "Please, stop talking about your statue!"

Narrator: "Peeped Pipsqueak. Spike was surprised."

Pipsqueak: "No one wants to hear about it anymore. No one wants to talk to you anymore."

Narrator: "Pipsqueak added crossly."

Pipsqueak: "And neither do I!"

Narrator: "Spike was left all alone. No one was talking to him. Spike felt very sad.

Spike walked toward Golden Oak Library. It had started to snow heavenly. But Spike kept going as fast as he could. He had to try to put things right with his friends.

But when he arrived at the library, Hoity Toity was there. He looked worried."

Hoity Toity: "The paths to Ponyville Park are blocked. None of you will be able to get to the ceremony."

Narrator: "He said sternly."

Spike: "I'll clear the paths."

Narrator: "Tooted Spike."

Spike: "I don't want any of you to miss the party."

Narrator: "The other animals were very surprised. They knew Spike didn't like his snow boots, and clearing the paths will make Spike late to see his statue. But Hoity Toity was pleased."

Hoity Toity: "You must work very hard, Spike."

Narrator: "He boomed."

Hoity Toity: "There's a lot to do."

Narrator: "Spike raced off. He could not let them down.

Spike felt silly for showing off. No wonder no one was talking to him. There was still a lot of paths to clear.

Thanks to Spike, everyone was able to get to Ponyville Park. They gathered nearby. The statue was covered in snow. But the sun had started to shine and the snow began to melt. Hoity Toity told everyone how proud he was of all his animals. But the animals were still thinking about Spike. And they were still cross.

Just then, there was a loud swooshing noise. A big patch of snow slid off the statue. Then another. Then another. The last of the snow fell to the ground. The animals were so surprised."

Big Macintosh: "That's not Thomas!"

Narrator: "Gasped Big Mac."

Pipsqueak: "No, it's of all of us!"

Narrator: "Peeped Pipsqueak. Everyone was very excited.

Then, Spike rolled up. He was very surprised when he saw the statue."

Spike: "It's not of me at all!"

Narrator: "He cried. Spike was very relieved and very happy."

Spike: "I'm sorry that I made you all cross."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Spike: "I think this statue of us all is the best statue there could ever be."

Narrator: "And all the animals agreed."

Follow That Flour
Narrator: "Every day is a busy day for the characters of Doc Top's land. They call hello as they pass each other on the hills, huff and puff at the transfer yards, and push and pull mutant toys at the wharf.

Early one morning, Spike was at the wharf. He liked the wharf. It was busy, and he met a lot of his friends there. But today, Spike was arranging changelings. And the changelings were being especially troublesome. It was taking all of Spike's puff to keep them in order. Then Cranky arrived."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I am to collect a wagon of flour to make cakes and bread for the Children's Harvest Festival Supper."

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Spike: "I wish Hoity Toity had given me that job."

Narrator: "Chuffed Spike."

Spike: "It would be so much more fun than arranging changelings."

Narrator: "Cranky was feeling very pleased with himself."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "First, I have to drink some water."

Narrator: "He said grandly."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Please shunt the flour wagon over for me, Spike."

Narrator: "Spike didn't want to shunt anymore. It meant his job would go on for even longer."

Spike: "Bossy head!"

Narrator: "He puffed.

Spike found the flour wagon outside the warehouse. He wanted to move Cranky's wagon as quickly as he could, so Spike wasn't taking care. He biffed the wagon very hard, and the door came loose. But Spike didn't see. An idea had flown into his head."

Spike: "I'll hide Cranky's wagon. Then bossy head will have to find me."

Narrator: "Spike thought hide and seek was a grand idea. Cranky came back from the water fountain. He saw Spike in the distance. And Cranky saw that falling from the wagon was a trail of flour."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Stop, Spike!"

Narrator: "Called Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Flour is falling out of your wagon!"

Narrator: "But Spike was too far away to hear.

Spike puffed into the warehouse to find somewhere to hide. More and more flour fell from the wagon. Cranky chased after Spike. Spike heard him coming."

Spike: "How does he know where I am?"

Narrator: "Thought Spike."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Spike, the flour!"

Narrator: "Called Cranky. But Spike couldn't hear him."

Spike: "Cranky won't find me this time."

Narrator: "He thought. Spike was having fun.

Spike found another good place to hide."

Spike: "Cranky will never find me here!"

Narrator: "He hooted happily. But then he heard Cranky's whistle whistle again."

Spike: "Bust my scales!"

Narrator: "Chuffed Spike."

Spike: "He's found me again!"

Narrator: "So, Spike puffed off.

Spike had reversed behind some changelings."

Spike: "Cranky will never find me here."

Narrator: "He tooted cheerily. But just then, he saw Cranky come around the bend."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Spike!"

Narrator: "Puffed Cranky. He was very cross."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "You've left a trail of flour all over the wharf!"

Spike: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "Cried Spike."

Spike: "I must have biffed the wagon so hard that the door came loose."

Narrator: "Spike didn't feel cheery anymore."

Spike: "If I've lost all the flour, there'll be no cakes and bread for the children's Harvest Festival supper."

Narrator: "He wheeshed sadly."

Spike: "I'm sorry, Cranky."

Narrator: "He chuffed."

Spike: "I'll get you another wagon of flour. Then you won't be late for the children."

Narrator: "Spike raced away.

Spike puffed, and he huffed. He wheeshed, and he whooshed. He had to get to the mill as fast as he could.

Then there was trouble. When Spike arrived at the mill, it was closed. Spike looked around. He could only see empty flour wagons. Spike felt sadder than ever. Dusty Dave, the miller, came to see Spike. He could see that Spike was very upset."

Dusty Dave: "I'm going home for my supper now."

Narrator: "He told Spike."

Dusty Dave: "But there's one full flour wagon right at the back."

Narrator: "Spike saw the flour wagon, but there were lots of other wagons in the way. He needed help.

Spike whooshed back to the wharf. He would have to ask Cranky to help him.

Cranky was waiting. He was still very cross. Spike pulled up alongside him."

Spike: "Cranky, I know you tried to tell me about the flour, and I know I was silly, but now I need your help."

Narrator: "Cranky knew that Spike was sorry, and he knew Spike needed his help, so they set off for the mill.

Cranky and Spike worked hard. There were lots of wagons to shunt, but they worked well together, and soon, the flour wagon was hooked up to Cranky, and he raced off. Spike felt proud of his friend.

Later, that evening, Hoity Toity stood by a table of wonderful breads and cakes. The children were very excited. Spike puffed by on his way home."

Spike: "Well done, Cranky!"

Narrator: "He called, and Cranky waved back. Spike was pleased Cranky was his friend again. And Spike smiled all the way back to Golden Oak Library."

Braeburn's Afternoon Off
Narrator: "The animals in Ponyville are very friendly. And no one is more friendly than Braeburn. Braeburn is a happy smiling earth pony with lots of friends. There's Twilight Sparkle at the quarry, Cheese Sandwich at the docks and Spike. They're all Braeburn's friends.

One day, Braeburn had finished all his jobs early. He was going to spend the afternoon at the farm. Braeburn loved visiting the animals. As he was about to leave, Hoity Toity arrived."

Hoity Toity: "Braeburn,"

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "I have three special jobs. As you have finished early, you will have time to do all of them."

Braeburn: "Yes, sir."

Narrator: "Puffed Braeburn. Braeburn was worried. He liked being useful, but three jobs would take him the rest of the day. Now he will have no time to go to the farm.

Braeburn puffed off. He felt sad. But then, he had an idea. Perhaps he could get everything done in time."

Braeburn: "All I need is some help with just one of my jobs. I'll ask one of my friends."

Narrator: "Braeburn's first job was to arrange some changelings at the yards. As he arrived, he saw Twilight."

Braeburn: "Twilight will help me."

Narrator: "He thought."

Twilight Sparkle: "Sorry, Braeburn. No time to talk."

Narrator: "Twilight puffed as she steamed passed him. Braeburn was upset. He was sure Twilight would help him."

Braeburn: "I'll just have to arrange the changelings on my own."

Narrator: "He puffed sadly.

Next, Braeburn had to collect some empty wagons from the depot. As he arrived, Spike was leaving."

Braeburn: "Spike!"

Narrator: "Called Braeburn."

Braeburn: "Wait! Will you help me take some wagons?"

Narrator: "Asked Braeburn."

Spike: "Sorry, Braeburn."

Narrator: "Chuffed Spike."

Spike: "I'm in a hurry. I'll help you later."

Narrator: "And Spike raced away. Braeburn was surprised. Twilight and Spike both rushed off very quickly. Now he would have to take the wagons to the Coaling Plant himself. It was getting late. Toby was worried he wouldn't get to the farm. And he wouldn't get to see the animals.

Once Braeburn had delivered the wagons, he rushed to his last job at Ponyville Docks."

Braeburn: "Perhaps my friend, Cheese Sandwich will help me."

Narrator: "But as Braeburn arrived, Cheese Sandwich was rushing towards him."

Braeburn: "Cheese Sandwich!"

Narrator: "Cried Braeburn."

Braeburn: "Stop, please! I have to help Gustave unload lots of cargo."

Narrator: "Puffed Braeburn."

Braeburn: "But I'm running out of time. Will you help me?"

Cheese Sandwich: "Sorry, Braeburn."

Narrator: "Said Cheese Sandwich."

Cheese Sandwich: "But I have an important delivery. These bandages are too important to wait, matey."

Narrator: "Braeburn felt miserable. He knew deliveries were important, but he thought helping a friend was important too. Neither Twilight Sparkle, Spike or Cheese Sandwich had helped Braeburn."

Braeburn: "And I thought they were my friends."

Narrator: "Puffed Braeburn sadly. He would have to move that cargo on his own. Now he'd never get to the farm.

Braeburn pulled up alongside Gustave."

Gustave: "What are you waiting for?"

Narrator: "Cranked Gustave."

Braeburn: "I'm here to pick up the cargo."

Narrator: "Said Braeburn sadly."

Gustave: "The ship's been caught in the rough seas."

Narrator: "Gustave snapped."

Gustave: "The cargo won't be here till morning."

Narrator: "Braeburn was delighted. Now he'll have time to get to the farm. So he raced off.

Then, Braeburn saw Filthy Rich in a siding."

Filthy Rich: "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Narrator: "Wheezed Filthy Rich sadly. Braeburn told him all about wanting to go to the farm, and all about Twilight and Spike and Cheese Sandwich."

Braeburn: "I thought friends help each other."

Narrator: "Braeburn wheeshed."

Braeburn: "But they were all too busy to help me."

Filthy Rich: "That's because they've all been helping me."

Narrator: "Puffed Filthy Rich. Braeburn was surprised."

Filthy Rich: "I got hurt."

Narrator: "Said Filthy Rich."

Filthy Rich: "So Twilight brought my special medicine, Spike took my passengers and Cheese Sandwich brought me some bandages."

Narrator: "Braeburn knew he had made a mistake. Twilight, Spike and Cheese Sandwich had been helping a friend after all."

Braeburn: "They were all helping you!"

Narrator: "Gasped Braeburn. Braeburn felt very silly."

Braeburn: "Is there anything I can do to help you, Filthy Rich?"

Narrator: "He asked. Filthy Rich was surprised."

Filthy Rich: "But then, you won't get to the farm to see the animals."

Narrator: "Said Filthy Rich."

Braeburn: "It doesn't matter."

Narrator: "Said Braeburn."

Braeburn: "Helping a friend is much more important. What can I do?"

Narrator: "Filthy Rich asked Braeburn to take his buffaloes to the town hall. Filthy Rich's buffaloes were very, very heavy."

Braeburn: "I don't know if I'll be able to move them."

Narrator: "Said Braeburn."

Braeburn: "But I'm going to try."

Narrator: "Braeburn hooked up to the buffaloes. He heaved and hauled, and puffed and pulled. At last, Filthy Rich's buffaloes began to move. Filthy Rich was very pleased."

Filthy Rich: "Thank you, Braeburn!"

Narrator: "He called as Braeburn puffed away."

Filthy Rich: "Sorry about your afternoon off."

Narrator: "But Braeburn didn't mind. He was helping a friend, and that was better than an afternoon off any day."

Shining Armor Strikes Out
Narrator: "All the animals in Ponyville are very happy to work Hoity Toity's town. Shining Armor has worked in Ponyville the longest. He knows everyone, and everyone knows him.

One summer morning, Shining Armor arrived at the docks. He had to pick up some heavy pipes. Big Macintosh and Spike were already there. Spike was very excited. A new pegasus pony has just arrived on the island.

Spike: "He looks so strong."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike."

Spike: "I'm sure he could even lift you up, Big Mac."

Narrator: "He chuckled. Big Mac didn't think this was funny, and Spike chuffed away.

Big Macintosh: "That pegasus pony might be big."

Narrator: "Big Macintosh sniffed."

Big Macintosh: "But his wings are small. He can't move unless another animal pulls him."

Narrator: "Shining Armor looked at the crane. Big Mac was right."

Shining Armor: "Then I don't think he can be really useful."

Narrator: "Chuffed Shining Armor slowly."

Big Macintosh: "Quite right, Shining Armor."

Narrator: "Huffed Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "He will only get in the way!"

Narrator: "Just then, Pipsqueak arrived. He was very excited to see the new pegasus too."

Big Macintosh: "He's not very useful!"

Narrator: "Boomed Big Mac."

Shining Armor: "He will only get in the way!"

Narrator: "Echoed Shining Armor."

Big Macintosh: "New-fangled nonsense!"

Narrator: "Wheeshed Big Mac, and he chuffed off."

Pipsqueak: "What's a new-funneled nuisance, Shining Armor?"

Narrator: "Peeped Pipsqueak."

Shining Armor: "New-fangled nonsense, Pipsqueak."

Narrator: "Huffed Shining Armor as grandly as he could."

Shining Armor: "It's something that is new and not really useful."

Narrator: "Shining Armor's wagons were right next to the new pegasus."

Bulk Biceps: "My name's Bulk Biceps."

Narrator: "The pegasus smiled at Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "I'm Shining Armor."

Narrator: "Huffed Shining Armor."

Bulk Biceps: "Can I come with you?"

Narrator: "Asked Bulk Biceps."

Bulk Biceps: "I could help with those heavy pipes."

Shining Armor: "I don't need your help."

Narrator: "Sniffed Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "New-fangled nonsense!"

Narrator: "And he puffed off quickly, before the pipes have been probably tie down.

Shining Armor was approaching the signal. He was thinking about Bulk Biceps and he was going too fast. Suddenly, the signal changed to red. Shining Armor screeched to a stop, but the sides of the wagons collapsed. Steel pipes toppled all over the path."

Shining Armor: "Bust my horn!"

Narrator: "Puffed Shining Armor. He looked at the heavy pipes, and wondered what to do. Spike had said Bulk Biceps was very strong."

Shining Armor: "New-fangled nonsense!"

Narrator: "Huffed Shining Armor. And he asked his driver telephoned for Caramel.

Caramel puffed and chuffed as fast as he could to the rescue.

Caramel started to move the pipes, but the pipes were heavy. He could only lift them one by one."

Caramel: "This is going to take me a very long time."

Narrator: "Gasped Caramel. Just then, Spike and Rarity arrived. They saw the pipes."

Spike: "We have to get through."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Why don't you go and get Bulk Biceps?"

Shining Armor: "No, no."

Narrator: "Whistled Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "Caramel is doing a fine job. We must be patient."

Rarity: "I don't like being patient!"

Narrator: "Pouted Rarity."

Rarity: "We have a very important job to do!"

Narrator: "Then they heard Big Macintosh. He was going fast. Then there was trouble. Big Mac hit the pipes with a loud crunch. He came off the path. It was a terrible mess."

Caramel: "I can't lift Big Mac."

Narrator: "Sighed Caramel."

Caramel: "He's too heavy."

Spike: "Shining Armor, we need Bulk Biceps!"

Narrator: "Said Spike. Big Mac sniffed."

Big Macintosh: "New-fangled nonsense!"

Narrator: "But Shining Armor knew this was a disaster, and he knew that Caramel couldn't lift Big Mac. There was only one thing to do."

Shining Armor: "I'll go and get Bulk Biceps."

Narrator: "Shining Armor wheeshed. And he raced off.

Shining Armor steamed into the docks."

Shining Armor: "Bulk Biceps, we need your help!"

Narrator: "He whistled."

Shining Armor: "It's an emergency!"

Bulk Biceps: "I'm ready and waiting, Shining Armor."

Narrator: "Whistled Bulk Biceps happily. So Shining Armor buffered up to Bulk Biceps and together, they left to the junction."

Bulk Biceps: "Go get 'em, Shining Armor!"

Narrator: "Shining Armor pulled Bulk Biceps up hills and down valleys. Everyone cheered and waved with them. Shining Armor felt very proud to be pulling the newest arrival in Ponyville.

Shining Armor soon pulled up with Bulk Biceps."

Bulk Biceps: "I can fix this."

Narrator: "Bulk Biceps smiled. And with his mighty muscles, Bulk Biceps lifted Big Mac back onto the path. Big Mac was surprised."

Big Macintosh: "Thank you, Bulk Biceps."

Narrator: "He huffed."

Big Macintosh: "Good work!"

Narrator: "Then, Bulk Biceps lifted all the pipes off the path. The job was done in no time. Big Mac and Shining Armor were very impressed."

Shining Armor: "I was silly to think you were new-fangled nonsense."

Narrator: "Wheeshed Shining Armor to Bulk Biceps."

Shining Armor: "You might be new, but you're also really useful. Welcome to our town!"

Narrator: "And everyone whistled and cheered for Bulk Biceps."

Hide and Seek
Narrator: "Ponyville Docks is a busy, bustling place. There are loading bays, paths and sidings, and lots and lots of big warehouses. Everyone enjoys working at Ponyville Docks.

One day, Spike, Pipsqueak and Gustave were all waiting for an important cargo ship to arrive. Gustave could see the ship was far away on the horizon."

Gustave: "The ship will be late."

Narrator: "He told Spike and Pipsqueak. Spike had an idea."

Spike: "Let's play a game while we wait."

Narrator: "He puffed cheerfully."

Pipsqueak: "What shall we play?"

Narrator: "Peeped Pipsqueak excitedly."

Spike: "Hide and seek."

Narrator: "Said Spike. It was his favorite game."

Spike: "You go and hide, Pipsqueak, and when I find you, I will peep loudly."

Pipsqueak: "You will never find me."

Narrator: "Puffed Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "I'm the best hider ever."

Spike: "Well, I'm the best finder."

Narrator: "Boasted Spike. Gustave looked down at the little animals."

Gustave: "Can I play?"

Narrator: "He asked."

Narrator: "You fly much too high to hide."

Narrator: "Spike laughed. Gustave felt left out. So Pipsqueak puffed away to hide.

Soon, Spike walked off to find his friend. Spike puffed past loading bays, steamed by sidings, and wheeshed alongside warehouses, but Pipsqueak was very good at hiding, and Spike couldn't find him anywhere.

Spike puffed into a large warehouse. He thought Pipsqueak might be hiding there. But when he got inside, he couldn't see him. Suddenly, an idea flew into Spike's head. He decided he would play a trick. Spike pretended he knew where Pipsqueak was hiding, even though he didn't."

Spike: "Found you!"

Narrator: "Peeped Spike loudly. Then he looked all around to see where Pipsqueak was hiding. Pipsqueak puffed out of his hiding place. Pipsqueak could see that Spike hadn't really found him at all. Pipsqueak whistled loudly. Spike was surprised."

Pipsqueak: "You tricked me!"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak puffed crossly."

Pipsqueak: "You didn't know where I was at all."

Narrator: "Spike felt foolish."

Spike: "I'm sorry."

Narrator: "He wheeshed."

Pipsqueak: "I'll hide again."

Narrator: "Huffed Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "But no more tricks."

Narrator: "And he chuffed quickly away. Spike waited.

Then he steamed off to look for Pipsqueak again. But Pipsqueak was very good at hiding, and Spike couldn't find him anywhere."

Spike: "Bother!"

Narrator: "Huffed Spike. Suddenly, another idea flew into Spike's head."

Spike: "I'll pretend that Hoity Toity has arrived.

Pipsqueak!"

Narrator: "Said Spike loudly."

Spike: "Hoity Toity is here!"

Narrator: "But Hoity Toity wasn't really there at all. Suddenly there was a loud noise. Pipsqueak had been hiding at the top of the coal hopper. Spike was surprised."

Pipsqueak: "Bust my hooves!"

Narrator: "Puffed Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Where is he, Spike?"

Narrator: "But Pipsqueak couldn't see Hoity Toity anywhere."

Spike: "Found you!"

Narrator: "Peeped Spike cheekily. Pipsqueak saw that Spike had tricked him again."

Pipsqueak: "That's not fair!"

Narrator: "He wheeshed. Spike could see Pipsqueak was upset."

Spike: "I'm sorry."

Narrator: "Spike chuffed."

Spike: "Hide again. This time, I won't trick you."

Narrator: "So Pipsqueak puffed away to hide again. Spike waited.

Then he started to look for his friend. Spike still couldn't find him, but he did find the dockyard manager. The dockyard manager was also looking for Pipsqueak and for Spike."

Dockyard Manager: "The ship has docked and Gustave is unloading the cargo. You must come and collect your deliveries."

Narrator: "He told Spike. Spike peeped loudly for Pipsqueak. Spike: "Pipsqueak! The ship has docked!"

Narrator: "He called. Pipsqueak heard Spike, but he thought it was another trick. So Pipsqueak decided to stay hidden."

Spike: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "Cried Spike."

Spike: "Pipsqueak thinks I'm playing another trick."

Narrator: "Pipsqueak would be in trouble if he didn't collect his changelings."

Spike: "If only I hadn't tricked Pipsqueak before."

Narrator: "Said Spike. He raced over to Gustave."

Gustave: "Where's Pipsqueak?"

Narrator: "Cranked Gustave crankily."

Spike: "Pipsqueak is still hiding. I'm not a very good finder after all."

Narrator: "Spike wheeshed sadly."

Gustave: "And I fly too high to be a good hider."

Narrator: "Creaked Gustave. Spike remembered that Gustave flew so high, he had seen the cargo ship far out at sea."

Spike: "You may not be a good hider."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "But you'd be a very good finder."

Narrator: "Spike asked Gustave to see if he could find where Pipsqueak was hiding."

Spike: "Or Pipsqueak will get into trouble."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike. Gustave didn't want the little animals to get into trouble. Gustave looked easily over warehouses, across loading bays and down onto sidings. He could see where Bulk Biceps was working, and there he saw Percy."

Gustave: "I've found him!"

Narrator: "Cranked Gustave proudly. Spike raced over to Bulk Biceps."

Spike: "Found you, Pipsqueak!"

Narrator: "He peeped loudly."

Pipsqueak: "Shake my tail!"

Narrator: "Puffed Pipsqueak. "He was very surprised."

Pipsqueak: "You are the very best finder, after all."

Narrator: "Peeped Pipsqueak."

Spike: "No, I'm not."

Narrator: "Spike puffed sadly."

Spike: "I had to ask Gustave to find you. He flies so high, he could see where you were hiding."

Pipsqueak: "You tricked me again!"

Narrator: "Huffed Pipsqueak. Before Pipsqueak could get cross, Spike told him about the waiting changelings."

Spike: "It's time for our deliveries."

Narrator: "Spike whistled."

Spike: "We must hurry."

Narrator: "Together, Pipsqueak and Spike walked back to their changelings. Pipsqueak was happy his friend had found him. Soon, they were ready to leave."

Spike: "Thank you, Gustave!"

Narrator: "Spike chuffed loudly."

Spike: "You are the best finder."

Narrator: "Gustave was very pleased."

Spike: "And Pipsqueak,"

Narrator: "Spike puffed to his friend."

Spike: "You are the best hider ever."

Narrator: "And the two friends walked happily away."

Rarity and the Garbage
Narrator: "Rarity is a grand, white unicorn. She's very proud of her jewel cutie mark and her perfect, polished mane. One morning, Rarity was very excited. Hoity Toity had told her to work with a new pony."

Rarity: "I hope he's smart and useful."

Narrator: "She whistled.

Rarity met Spike waiting a signal."

Spike: "The new pony is waiting for you at Sugar Cube Corner."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Rarity: "I can't wait to meet him."

Narrator: "Puffed Rarity. And she chuffed away as fast as hooves could walk.

Rarity steamed into Sugar Cube Corner to look for the new pony. He was the dirtiest pony she had ever seen."

Gizmo: "Hello, Rarity."

Narrator: "Said the new pony."

Gizmo: "My name is Gizmo because I'm bit smelly. You're going to help me collect garbage."

Narrator: "Rarity was horrified."

Rarity: "Oh, come on then."

Narrator: "She sighed."

Rarity: "Let's get started."

Narrator: "Big Macintosh was talking to Cranky and Filthy Rich in a siding. When they saw Rarity with Gizmo, they laughed."

Gizmo: "Hello."

Narrator: "Whistled Gizmo."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Who's your smelly new friend with the funny glasses, Rarity?"

Narrator: "Snorted Cranky."

Big Macintosh: "We smelled you coming from miles."

Narrator: "Wheeshed Big Mac grandly."

Gizmo: "My name's Gizmo."

Narrator: "Whistled Gizmo."

Filthy Rich: "It suits you."

Narrator: "Laughed Filthy Rich."

Filthy Rich: "Phew!"

Narrator: "Rarity was very embarrassed. She hurried away. Gizmo puffed after her.

Up the road, Rarity and Gizmo passed more animals. When they say Gizmo, they all laughed too. Rarity was tired of being teased."

Rarity: "I must get away from Gizmo."

Narrator: "She huffed. Rarity walked faster."

Gizmo: "Wait for me."

Narrator: "Whistled Gizmo. But Rarity wasn't going to wait for Gizmo. And soon, Gizmo was a long way behind. Rarity was glad Gizmo had gone."

Rarity: "It's not my fault he can't keep up."

Narrator: "She huffed.

Later, Rarity had to wait for Trixie at a crossing."

Trixie: "Where's this new pony?"

Narrator: "Honked Trixie grandly."

Rarity: "Uh, he got lost."

Narrator: "Wheeshed Rarity."

Gizmo: "No I didn't!"

Narrator: "Whistled Gizmo cheerfully."

Gizmo: "Hello!"

Trixie: "Oh."

Narrator: "Sniffed Trixie."

Trixie: "Aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend?"

Narrator: "But Rarity didn't want anything more to do with Gizmo. She ran away as fast as her hooves could run."

Gizmo: "Wait for me."

Narrator: "Whistled Gizmo.

Up ahead, Rarity saw a forest path."

Rarity: "Maybe if I walked down here, Gizmo won't see me."

Narrator: "And Gizmo didn't see Rarity. He puffed passed on the main path.

Rarity chuffed all around Hoity Toity's town. She tried to hide from Gizmo. But still, everywhere Rarity went, Gizmo always found her.

In every tunnel, and in every siding.

At last, Rarity escaped from Gizmo."

Rarity: "Thank goodness."

Narrator: "She wheeshed."

Rarity: "Now no one will laugh at me for working with such a smelly pony."

Narrator: "Up ahead, Rarity saw Prince Blueblood. He was cross."

Prince Blueblood: "I meant to be taking the Duke and Duchess of Maretonia to an important lunch."

Narrator: "Huffed Prince Blueblood."

Prince Blueblood: "But my way is blocked by all these smelly garbage carts."

Rarity: "Flatten my horn."

Narrator: "Steamed Rarity. They were the garbage carts that Rarity and Gizmo should have cleared earlier."

Prince Blueblood: "Someone will have to move them."

Narrator: "Sniffed Prince Blueblood. Rarity knew that was her job."

Rarity: "I suppose I'll have to move them. Ugh."

Narrator: She shuddered. Rarity walked up. She pulled as hard as she could, but the carts were much too heavy for her to move on her own. Just then, Big Mac chuffed passed."

Rarity: "Can you help me move these garbage carts?"

Narrator: "Asked Rarity."

Big Macintosh: "Me?"

Narrator: "Snorted Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "Certainly not!"

Rarity: "Can you help me move these garbage carts, Cranky?"

Narrator: "Peeped Rarity."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Ew, no, thank you."

Narrator: "Wheeshed Cranky. Rarity was upset."

Prince Blueblood: "I'm still waiting!"

Narrator: "Puffed Prince Blueblood impatiently."

Rarity: "If Gizmo was here now, he'd be happy to help me."

Narrator: "Rarity sighed."

Rarity: "He wanted to be my friend, but I wasn't kind to him. I must fine Gizmo and say sorry."

Narrator: "Rarity looked high and low for Gizmo. But he was nowhere to be seen.

Then, at last, she heard Gizmo's funny whistle."

Gizmo: "Hello, Rarity."

Narrator: "Whistled Gizmo cheerfully."

Gizmo: "I was wondering where you'd gone to."

Rarity: "I'm sorry, I ran away from you."

Narrator: "Puffed Rarity."

Gizmo: "That's all right."

Narrator: "Whistled Gizmo."

Gizmo: "I'm just glad you found me. Let's get to work!"

Narrator: "Prince Blueblood was getting very impatient."

Rarity: "Don't worry, Prince Blueblood."

Narrator: "Said Rarity."

Rarity: "Gizmo is here to help now."

Prince Blueblood: "Freeze my hooves!"

Narrator: "Snorted Prince Blueblood when he saw Gizmo."

Gizmo: "That dirty pony can't move all these garbage carts."

Rarity: "We're going to move them together."

Narrator: "Chuffed Rarity."

Gizmo: "Oh, thank you, Rarity."

Narrator: "Whistled Gizmo. Prince Blueblood watched as Rarity and Gizmo hooked up to the garbage carts and quickly pulled them away. Prince Blueblood was very impressed."

Prince Blueblood: "Gizmo is very, very useful pony."

Narrator: "He whistled."

Rarity: "I know."

Narrator: "Bubbled Rarity happily."

Rarity: "And he's my new good friend, too."
