1
00:00:02,290 --> 00:00:06,000
I think you really spruce up the office
Ms. Philodendron.
2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,880
I’m going to call you Phyllis!
3
00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:11,200
Don’t you look good, Phyllis…
4
00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:13,240
Come in.
5
00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:15,520
I mean, uh,
come in!
6
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:18,480
Uh, were you just talking to someone?
7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,190
No.
Why?
8
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:23,690
Starlight, I have something
very important to discuss with you.
9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,600
If this is about leaving early yesterday,
10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,370
I didn’t have any students on my schedule
11
00:00:27,370 --> 00:00:29,320
and Trixie was having a “magical emergency,”
12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,900
which actually turned out to be nothing.
13
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:33,190
It’s not anything like that.
14
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:38,030
Twilight Sparkle the Princess of Friendship,
15
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:41,130
in light of her impending ascension
to the throne of Equestria,
16
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:42,900
and in anticipation of her
17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,360
many duties and responsibilities forthwith,
18
00:00:45,530 --> 00:00:49,300
does hereby intend
to make good on her previous offer to you,
19
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,410
Starlight Glimmer, of replacing her
20
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:54,730
as Headmare of the School of Friendship!
21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,520
I want you to take over the school
when I move to Canterlot.
22
00:00:57,630 --> 00:01:00,890
I know!
It’s just so amazing.
23
00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:03,460
I’m a little,
do you think I’m really up for it?
24
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:04,440
Of course you do.
25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,600
I’ve covered for you every time
26
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:07,770
you’ve had to run off and save Equestria, but…
27
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,880
I mean, yes!
Of course! Thank You!
28
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:14,880
You’re welcome.
29
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,130
And I can’t think of any pony
who’d be better for the job.
30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,480
I’m a little nervous, and excited,
I’m mostly just nervous.
31
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,590
I understand,
32
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:24,960
Of course I’ll have a lot of
33
00:01:25,010 --> 00:01:27,380
important responsibilities
as ruler of Equestria,
34
00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:30,840
But I’ll always be available
to help whenever you need.
35
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:35,220
Are you supposed to be at
a Royal Etiquette lesson
36
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:36,740
with Celestia and Luna right now?
37
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:37,350
Right!
38
00:01:37,470 --> 00:01:39,040
Uh, can’t underestimate the important
39
00:01:39,090 --> 00:01:41,630
responsibility of Royal napkin placement.
40
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:48,060
Wow. I mean,
no biggie, right Phyllis?
41
00:01:48,130 --> 00:01:50,550
I’ve totally got this.
42
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,840
You know I am nothing but proud,
43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
that you’ve been officially offered
the position of Headmare…
44
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,930
Thanks.
45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,120
… but,
46
00:02:39,140 --> 00:02:42,630
I can’t help wondering
if it’s gonna cut into our social schedule.
47
00:02:42,890 --> 00:02:44,010
What do you mean?
48
00:02:44,370 --> 00:02:45,940
Take now, for example.
49
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:49,130
Instead of heading
to the delightful lunch I planned,
50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,650
we’re striding with determination toward
51
00:02:51,650 --> 00:02:54,210
what I can only assume is Twilight’s office.
52
00:02:54,430 --> 00:02:57,210
Obviously our lunch is super important,
53
00:02:57,250 --> 00:02:59,080
but so is taking over the school.
54
00:02:59,230 --> 00:03:01,940
And the only pony
who’s really run the School of Friendship
55
00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:04,090
is the Princess of Friendship.
56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,160
And I’m worried about doing it all alone,
57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,830
so, I wanna get as much advice
58
00:03:07,890 --> 00:03:10,170
from Twilight as I can while she’s still here.
59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,570
But Twilight’s never really done anything alone.
60
00:03:13,570 --> 00:03:15,260
She always has her friends.
61
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:17,650
But that just gave me an idea!
62
00:03:17,650 --> 00:03:18,680
Thanks, Trixie.
63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,840
You can give good advice
when you don’t mean to.
64
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:22,280
Uh, Thanks?
65
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:24,610
Are we still doing lunch?
66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Getting Royal Place Settings just right
is a lot harder than it looks.
67
00:03:33,390 --> 00:03:34,460
Okaaaay…
68
00:03:34,510 --> 00:03:36,740
Uh, I know how busy you are,
69
00:03:36,740 --> 00:03:39,470
but I wanted to talk to you about
running the school because,
70
00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:43,280
honestly, I was a bit worried
about taking it over all on my own,
71
00:03:43,410 --> 00:03:46,510
but I just realized
you never did it alone…
72
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:49,480
Having a friend help out is pretty great.
73
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,670
Exactly.
74
00:03:52,750 --> 00:03:55,440
So, what do you think about me
75
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,320
hiring a Vice-Headmare to help run things?
76
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,800
I trust you to run the school any way you want.
77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,600
And if that means hiring a Vice-Headmare,
I think it’s a great idea.
78
00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:05,580
Really?
79
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:06,790
Like you said,
80
00:04:06,870 --> 00:04:08,610
I’ve always had ponies around to help.
81
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:10,840
And don’t worry,
you can always call on me to…
82
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,730
Ah, Twilight?
83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,380
Rarity says you were supposed to be
at the boutique five minutes ago
84
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:16,260
for your second fitting
for the coronation gown.
85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,770
How many fittings are there gonna be?
86
00:04:19,540 --> 00:04:20,430
A lot?
87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,410
Anyway, good luck finding your Vice-Headmare.
88
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,790
I know you’ll pick the right pony for the job.
89
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:30,190
Wow.
I heard the whole thing,
90
00:04:30,190 --> 00:04:31,420
And all I can say is,
91
00:04:31,610 --> 00:04:33,310
I am humbled.
92
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,040
Uh, why?
93
00:04:35,390 --> 00:04:36,880
I hadn’t ever considered it,
94
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,370
but hearing you say it out loud
95
00:04:38,370 --> 00:04:41,850
made me realize
what a great and powerful Vice-Headmare I’ll be.
96
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:45,740
Plus we’ll get to work
and socialize at the same time!
97
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,740
Uh, well, sure,
that would be fun,
98
00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:49,850
but I can’t just give you the job.
99
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:52,600
Oh, noooo.
Of course not.
100
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:55,640
I imagine there’s a lengthy
“process” to go through
101
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,680
before you inevitably hire
the “best pony” for the position.
102
00:04:59,860 --> 00:05:00,630
Wink.
103
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:04,610
Exactly. I’ll probably
interview several ponies.
104
00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:06,700
Of course. “Several.”
105
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:07,650
Wink.
106
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:10,080
Why do you keep saying "Wink"?
107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,800
I'm not saying "Wink"!
108
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,110
Wink.
109
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,000
I’m glad you all decided
110
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,610
to be a part of the search
for the School of Friendship’s Vice-Headmare.
111
00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:24,020
Honestly, if you’re looking
for somepony to fundraise,
112
00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:27,740
I can bring in enough bits
to have several buildings named after me.
113
00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:32,440
Well, that’s not the primary
responsibility of the Vice-Headmare,
114
00:05:32,570 --> 00:05:34,790
but anypony is welcome to apply.
115
00:05:35,050 --> 00:05:38,600
I think the selection process
I’ve come up with is pretty special.
116
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,360
Albeit unnecessary.
117
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,580
Wink.
118
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:46,180
Since you all have to prove
119
00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:48,590
you have what it takes
to be Vice-Headmare,
120
00:05:48,590 --> 00:05:51,250
I’ve designed
the interview in three stages.
121
00:05:51,470 --> 00:05:54,810
Each stage will test
a different skill the Vice-Headmare needs.
122
00:05:55,290 --> 00:05:56,710
Only those who do well
123
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:58,030
will move through the stages
124
00:05:58,030 --> 00:06:01,300
until finally the best candidate
rises to the top!
125
00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:05,420
So without further ado,
it’s time for stage one
126
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,200
substituting for the teachers!
127
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,480
Once the students get a sample
128
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,120
of my great and powerful instruction,
129
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,990
they might not want to go back
to the regular faculty.
130
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,710
Wow, that seam is so straight!
131
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:27,200
You really learned how to sew
132
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,920
from mending apple sacks on the farm?
133
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:30,280
Eeyup.
134
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,420
Obviously loyalty
is the foundation of friendship and trust…
135
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,100
But nothing gets more loyalty
136
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:42,560
than a big stack of bits.
137
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,700
This book on business
will teach you all how to earn your own.
138
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:50,320
Chapter One: Equity…
139
00:07:23,170 --> 00:07:28,110
In the Pre-Equestia Era, year 1322,
Abraxius the Bold did…
140
00:07:29,710 --> 00:07:31,320
A bunch of boring stuff…
141
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,970
For a really long time.
142
00:07:35,090 --> 00:07:37,760
Okay, I know history is important,
143
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:41,480
but I never learned any of it
and look how I turned out.
144
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,360
Wink.
145
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,720
Okay, Phyllis,
obviously those three are moving on,
146
00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:02,320
what about the rest?
147
00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:05,880
I think we’re in agreement on this one.
148
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,240
I know what you’re going to say.
149
00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:16,380
But it would be sooo much fun
to have my Vice- Headmare be a friend.
150
00:08:16,940 --> 00:08:19,810
She just needs a little more
hoof-holding than some of the others,
151
00:08:19,810 --> 00:08:23,550
but it could still work out, right?
152
00:08:23,650 --> 00:08:26,480
Starlight, I have given this a lot of thought,
153
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,620
and even though I still believe
154
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,880
naps are a valid use of class time,
155
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,560
you’ll be the one running the school,
156
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,240
so if you say no naps,
then no naps!
157
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,130
And I know I can be a little stubborn
and not the best listener,
158
00:08:38,130 --> 00:08:41,210
but I just can’t wait for us
to tackle this job as a team.
159
00:08:41,210 --> 00:08:44,980
Two great and powerful friends
taking on the world.
160
00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:49,190
And I know you still
have to go through all this “interview” stuff,
161
00:08:49,270 --> 00:08:50,040
Wink.
162
00:08:50,180 --> 00:08:53,400
But I just had to tell you
how excited I am!
163
00:08:55,580 --> 00:08:58,520
See?
I told you it could work.
164
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Alright remaining Vice-Headmare candidates.
165
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,720
Welcome to Stage Two!
166
00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:13,860
All of you are here because
you performed well…
167
00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:15,610
…or well enough,
168
00:09:15,950 --> 00:09:17,560
to face your next challenge…
169
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,720
Parent Teacher Conferences!
170
00:09:19,890 --> 00:09:22,680
The Vice-Headmare
will need to be a master communicator
171
00:09:22,810 --> 00:09:24,860
and I can’t think
of a better test of that
172
00:09:24,860 --> 00:09:28,030
than meeting with our students
and their parents or guardians.
173
00:09:28,770 --> 00:09:31,670
I eagerly look forward
to sharing my love of science,
174
00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:34,230
with both progeny and progenitors!
175
00:09:34,570 --> 00:09:35,840
Indeed.
176
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,180
An orchestra
is made up of different parts
177
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:41,040
and good communication
is the key to harmony.
178
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:42,570
Eeyup!
179
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:45,470
A lifetime on stage has taught me
180
00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:46,880
that good communication
181
00:09:46,950 --> 00:09:50,230
is essential to holding
your audience’s attention,
182
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,950
which is why
Trixie is also known
183
00:09:52,950 --> 00:09:56,260
as a great and powerful communicator!
184
00:09:59,380 --> 00:10:01,900
Life at the School
of Friendship is like a song,
185
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,390
and although she
started out singing her part pianissimo,
186
00:10:05,390 --> 00:10:08,920
Ocellus is now soloing fortissimo!
187
00:10:09,170 --> 00:10:10,760
That’s good, right?
188
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,760
Indeed.
189
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,330
The science curriculum
at this school is somewhat lacking,
190
00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:20,650
but Yona has taken
to the subject like a yak to smashing!
191
00:10:20,740 --> 00:10:23,650
If fostered,
I believe she could easily blaze a trail
192
00:10:23,650 --> 00:10:26,320
and expand our
understanding of science itself!
193
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,570
Yaks Best!
194
00:10:31,650 --> 00:10:34,460
Gallus is a fantastic student.
195
00:10:34,570 --> 00:10:38,400
He’s even taught me
a thing or two about napping.
196
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,190
Is that why
you’re putting me to sleep?
197
00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:42,600
Um… Excuse me?
198
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,510
I don’t know
why I have to come to these things.
199
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,630
Well, most parents or guardians
200
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,170
want to be involved in our student’s lives.
201
00:10:51,270 --> 00:10:54,000
Maybe we should find
a different representative
202
00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:56,540
from Griffonstone to be Gallus’ guardian.
203
00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:57,990
That’d be great!
204
00:10:58,050 --> 00:10:59,110
If you find one,
205
00:10:59,150 --> 00:11:01,060
let me know!
206
00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:02,620
I’m so confused!
207
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:05,890
You’re saying
Silverstream is exuberant?
208
00:11:05,950 --> 00:11:06,720
Eeyup.
209
00:11:06,780 --> 00:11:08,250
And enthusiastic?
210
00:11:08,340 --> 00:11:09,610
Eeyup.
211
00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:10,980
But aren’t those the same?
212
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,850
And are they good?
213
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,660
I mean, you could be trying
to tell me she’s unfocused,
214
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:19,630
but then you might just be explaining
that you appreciate her high energy.
215
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,850
Er… nope, er,
eeyup, er… maybe.
216
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,940
There seems to be a lot of nuance here
217
00:11:25,940 --> 00:11:29,880
and I just want to make sure
I understand exactly what you are saying.
218
00:11:30,030 --> 00:11:31,100
So what are you saying?
219
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,080
Gallus doesn’t need to know
I’m “proud” of him!
220
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:39,000
And he certainly doesn’t need me
221
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,590
trekking all the way to Ponyville!
222
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,640
Good!
Because you’re no longer welcome!
223
00:11:45,490 --> 00:11:47,590
Well, fine with me!
224
00:11:48,390 --> 00:11:50,380
Trixie, what happened?!
225
00:11:50,670 --> 00:11:51,850
I’m not sure,
226
00:11:52,110 --> 00:11:55,550
But we’ll have one less conference
to worry about next semester.
227
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,430
I really appreciate your honesty,
Big Mac, and you’re right.
228
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:05,360
Parents expect a lot of
detailed communication when it comes to their kids
229
00:12:05,510 --> 00:12:07,060
and if you aren’t comfortable with that,
230
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:09,740
Vice-Headmare probably
isn’t the job for you.
231
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:10,900
Yeah, nope.
232
00:12:16,130 --> 00:12:18,480
Starlight, I know why you wanted to see me,
233
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,070
and you don’t have to worry.
234
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,310
Uh, Good.
235
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:23,690
It’s thoughtful that you’d want
to check in on me
236
00:12:23,690 --> 00:12:26,680
after my shocking confrontation
with Grandpa Gruff,
237
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,600
but never fear,
I shall recover.
238
00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:32,960
Trixie, that’s not exactly
what I wanted to talk to you about.
239
00:12:33,340 --> 00:12:37,120
You can’t get into a shouting match
with parents or guardians.
240
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,330
For the final stage of the interview process,
241
00:12:39,330 --> 00:12:41,480
you’ll each have to put together a field trip
242
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,640
and if you really do want the job,
243
00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:45,820
I need yours to be exceptional,
244
00:12:46,090 --> 00:12:48,480
because if I had to pick
a Vice-Headmare right now,
245
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,120
it wouldn’t be you.
246
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:53,720
Oh, I see what you’re doing.
247
00:12:54,090 --> 00:12:57,520
Obviously you’re not going to
give the job to somepony else,
248
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,390
but you want to see my best!
249
00:12:59,390 --> 00:13:02,010
Well, message received.
250
00:13:02,210 --> 00:13:02,980
Wink.
251
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,720
Uh, Trixie, I…
252
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,330
The Great and Powerful Trixie
253
00:13:07,330 --> 00:13:09,080
is about to pull out all the stops.
254
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,080
I hope you’re ready
for the most exceptional field trip
255
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,790
to ever grace this school.
256
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:21,480
Is it wrong for me to think
she might actually pull it off?
257
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,670
Uh, don’t answer that.
258
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,310
Not looking forward to the performance?
259
00:13:31,410 --> 00:13:33,500
I know Octavia loves music,
260
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:35,910
but a field trip to
a classical music performance,
261
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:38,370
isn’t my idea of an exciting time.
262
00:13:56,190 --> 00:13:57,750
Okay.
I take it back.
263
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,580
When I heard
we’d be arranging field trips,
264
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:03,480
I knew right away
I wanted to take you all to my lab.
265
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,620
I can think of no better trip
than one through the quantum field!
266
00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:11,410
I am referring to time travel!
267
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:16,870
I’ve been working on
a temporal transportation device!
268
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:20,930
A chair?
269
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,340
And 3, 4, 5 congratulations!
270
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:30,480
You are now five seconds
in the future.
271
00:14:30,510 --> 00:14:33,830
You see we are all already
time travelers!
272
00:14:34,190 --> 00:14:34,910
Who’s next?
273
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,570
Uh, now what?
274
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,910
Oh. I hadn’t actually
thought that much beyond this.
275
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Ponies and other students!
276
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,200
Welcome to the greatest
and most powerful field trip of your lives!
277
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,230
Where Yona and friends going?
278
00:14:57,510 --> 00:14:59,190
I am thrilled you asked.
279
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,650
Because today
we’re not doing a normal,
280
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:05,280
old, boring field trip,
where you go somewhere…
281
00:15:05,610 --> 00:15:07,390
So…
not field trip.
282
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:08,920
Au contraire.
283
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,640
I could have easily taken you
to Froggy Bottom Bog.
284
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,880
But, we don’t need
to leave the comfort
285
00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:16,250
of the classroom
for our field trip.
286
00:15:16,510 --> 00:15:19,210
I can bring the field trip
to us!
287
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:34,720
Trixie!
What did you do?!
288
00:15:35,130 --> 00:15:38,800
Well, I found the perfect little patch of bog
to teleport into the school,
289
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,680
I guess I just didn’t
consider the possibility
290
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,250
that a hive of flash bees
might have nested there.
291
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,760
Who told you bees
to nest in my patch of field trip bog!
292
00:16:08,290 --> 00:16:10,470
Trixie, go with the students.
I’ll handle this!
293
00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:11,560
I was only trying to give them
294
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,400
an exceptional field trip experience…
295
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,930
Which you have to admit I did!
296
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,180
We’ll talk about it later!
297
00:16:25,220 --> 00:16:26,560
Um… Starlight?
298
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,010
Hey, there.
299
00:16:29,190 --> 00:16:30,900
So… um,
they’re gone?
300
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:31,980
Yes.
301
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:34,680
Nice teamwork.
Am I right?
302
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,840
Are you kidding!?
303
00:16:37,140 --> 00:16:38,860
I don’t know what team you’re on,
304
00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:40,170
but it isn’t mine.
305
00:16:40,190 --> 00:16:41,710
This was a disaster.
306
00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:43,190
It was dangerous.
307
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:46,740
I think the word you
looking for are Great and powerful?
308
00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:49,200
It wasn’t even acceptable!
309
00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:51,430
You went from not taking it seriously
310
00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:55,910
to blowing things so out of proportion
you put everycreature in danger!
311
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,750
And I wanted to work with a friend so much
312
00:16:58,750 --> 00:17:01,900
I ignored the fact
that you would never be right for the job!
313
00:17:02,030 --> 00:17:03,420
I’m confused.
314
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,490
What are you saying?
315
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,000
I’m saying you’ll never be Vice-Headmare!
316
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,140
But…
but, I thought you created the position for me.
317
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,740
Why would you think that?!
318
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,450
I created the position
because I need help,
319
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,070
but I can’t think of any way
that you would ever help me!
320
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,490
Twilight’s friends always helped her.
321
00:17:22,310 --> 00:17:24,810
That’s because Twilight’s friends are competent.
322
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,740
They care about what they are doing,
323
00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:28,580
and they know how to do it!
324
00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:34,130
Well, I guess I won’t take up
any more of your time, Headmare Starlight.
325
00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:38,630
Starlight?
326
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,540
I just thought I’d check in to see
327
00:17:40,540 --> 00:17:42,450
how the search for a
Vice-Headmare was going.
328
00:17:45,630 --> 00:17:46,990
A lot better now.
329
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,280
Okay…
330
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,590
I really wanted it to be a friend,
331
00:17:50,650 --> 00:17:54,440
so I ended up pushing aside
some pretty big signs
332
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,920
that it wasn’t going to work out.
333
00:17:56,350 --> 00:17:58,570
Not everypony is right for every job,
334
00:17:58,850 --> 00:18:01,180
but everypony has something to contribute.
335
00:18:01,370 --> 00:18:02,760
The trick is figuring out what.
336
00:18:03,090 --> 00:18:05,640
What if you and your friend
can’t figure it out,
337
00:18:05,870 --> 00:18:07,340
if you have a job to do,
338
00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:08,950
you have to decide what’s best
339
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,500
and be upfront and honest,
340
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:13,030
even if it means
you can’t work with a friend on it.
341
00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:17,860
So, I guess that means
talking to them at the beginning
342
00:18:17,860 --> 00:18:21,320
instead of stringing them along
until you get so frustrated
343
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,630
you totally lose it
and say a bunch of really awful things.
344
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:25,980
Pretty much.
345
00:18:30,790 --> 00:18:31,800
Trixie.
346
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,460
I know you’re in there.
347
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:35,600
Well, you’re wrong!
348
00:18:38,830 --> 00:18:41,080
I’m sorry for all those things I said.
349
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:43,560
I just really wanted it to work out,
350
00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:46,280
Even though I knew it probably wouldn’t.
351
00:18:46,730 --> 00:18:48,320
I should have said something sooner.
352
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:50,760
Obviously we can’t have what we want,
353
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,160
because I’m terrible at everything
354
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,910
and could never help you with anything.
355
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,980
You aren’t terrible.
356
00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:59,140
And you have a lot of great qualities.
357
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,990
Maybe not Vice- Headmare qualities,
358
00:19:02,030 --> 00:19:05,250
But great and powerful friend qualities…
359
00:19:08,060 --> 00:19:11,280
Well, you really stand by
the ponies you care about.
360
00:19:11,550 --> 00:19:14,550
Gallus even said nocreature’s
ever stuck up for him
361
00:19:14,550 --> 00:19:16,350
the way you did with Grandpa Gruff.
362
00:19:18,210 --> 00:19:20,420
It would have been nice
to run the school together,
363
00:19:20,490 --> 00:19:23,980
But not everypony is right for every job.
364
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,200
I know how you take
your responsibilities seriously.
365
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,000
Aaaand maybe I should have known
366
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,310
I wasn’t exactly a perfect fit.
367
00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:36,540
If it makes you feel
any better, nopony was.
368
00:19:36,590 --> 00:19:37,450
What do you mean?
369
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,200
Well, Dr. Hooves has decided
to go back to his experiments
370
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:44,360
and Octavia is worried
the responsibilities of Vice-Headmare
371
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,430
Will take too much time away
from her music.
372
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,810
Maybe getting a
Vice-Headmare was a bad idea.
373
00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:52,570
Starlight.
Obviously you’d like some help,
374
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:55,570
and hiring a Vice-Headmare
is a great idea.
375
00:19:55,990 --> 00:19:57,440
But who could it be?
376
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,670
Well, you need somepony
who’s responsible like you,
377
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:04,400
and detail oriented,
like Twilight.
378
00:20:04,420 --> 00:20:08,710
And smart, obviously,
it is a school after all…
379
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,960
It would be nice if I got along with them,
380
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,300
since having it be a friend can’t work out.
381
00:20:14,270 --> 00:20:15,500
Maybe it can.
382
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:21,310
…and I knew as soon as I read Trixie’s scroll
383
00:20:21,310 --> 00:20:23,640
that it was the exact right thing
for me to do.
384
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,370
But, what about being
Flurry Heart’s Crystaller?!
385
00:20:27,010 --> 00:20:29,290
Honestly, now that Flurry Heart’s
a little older,
386
00:20:29,290 --> 00:20:30,870
there really isn’t much for me to do
387
00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:33,040
outside of the occasional
tradition or festival.
388
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:36,150
And working at a school
is what I always thought I’d do,
389
00:20:36,510 --> 00:20:38,210
I mean, if you’ll have me…
390
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:39,700
Are you kidding?
391
00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:40,910
You're hired!
392
00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:42,620
I had a feeling this would work out.
393
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,960
Oh, Trixie, thank you so much.
394
00:20:45,570 --> 00:20:47,780
Between being insightful when I want to be
395
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:50,700
and giving good advice
when I don’t mean to,
396
00:20:50,820 --> 00:20:53,040
I suppose I can be a pretty good friend.
397
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,140
More than that, actually.
398
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,220
You really did give good advice,
399
00:20:57,330 --> 00:20:59,160
and you helped me talk through the problem
400
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,000
of finding the right pony for the job.
401
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:03,200
And we know
you care about the students…
402
00:21:03,290 --> 00:21:06,480
Trixie the Great and Powerful
Advice Giver,
403
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,640
Problem Talk Througher,
and Student Care Abouter!
404
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:11,730
I think I’ll go with friend.
405
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,390
Friend is perfect,
406
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,320
But there’s a position here at the school
407
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,210
You might be right for too.
408
00:21:18,380 --> 00:21:20,680
What would you say
to being the School of Friendship’s
409
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,720
New student counselor?
410
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,720
I’d say, this office
needs a bit of redecorating
411
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,810
Potted plants scream desperation.
412
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,240
Phyllis, no!
