oh boy we are gonna have some fun with this.
Lending a Helping Claw: When out searching for gems near Mount Willy-Nilly (named after a famous Equestrian explorer), Spike encounters Whimsey Weatherbe, an abandoned dragon girl around his age who’s been living on her own for years and seems to be in need of help. When he gets her back to Ponyville, however, the odd powers she begins to display, combined with her tendency towards petty theft, make it hard for Spike to find ponies willing to trust her.Mare in the Mirror: Sunset Shimmer visits Equestria, but her odd behavior quickly causes Twilight, Spike, and Starlight to suspect that something is wrong. Now they must find out what that is without their guest realizing they’ve noticed something amiss. Technically, their guest is exactly who she claimed to be. She’s Sunset Shimmer… Just not their Sunset Shimmer. Human Sunset has arrived!
Truth or Scare: The CMC and some other foals have a Nightmare Night party, but things go south during “truth or dare”. Toola Roola challenges Scootaloo to a “Bloody Mary”-style dare, unaware that the being she’ll be calling is very, very real, and more terrifying than they could have ever imagined.
(I’m probably gonna take a few days off of any pony-related we sites until I see the movie.)
Ponyville harvest festival
Ponies having lots of happiness and cheer before winter
The main event is an open cooking contest where the theme is simple: Pancakes.
But not just any pancakes: they must be worth of being called the best comfort food.
Applejack is looking forward this contest, as nobody can beat the charm of her homemade food so the prize is practically hers
PinkiePie is on the same wavelength: nobody can top her ultimake baking skills and the superb fluffyness of her pancakes.
Both girls already decided what they will do with the prize money
Both girls also brag about their own skills, and soon the bragging becomes a bit too much
So much that they develop a rival streak and decide to make eat the other one’s words
Other contestants include, but are not limited to BonBon, Spike and even Derpy because ha! ha! Pandering!
They already know that with AJ and Pinkie around the competition will be very tough, so they decide to go all out to pulverize the competitors.
The contest starts. Location: Ponyville’s Plaza.
There’s a large stand with kitchens ready to use, and a huge pile of ingredients for the contestants to choose and use at will.
Everyone immediately try to hog the best ingrediants for themselves
Then every pony (plus the dragon) use the best of their skills to create the fluffiest, juiciest, sweetiest pancakes ever, packed with sweet cream, fruits, candy, chocolate, sprinkles, honey, syrup and a loooong etc.
They are all decided to not lose against the rest
Spike uses his own fire to cook the pancakes and also uses it to combine sugar with fruits, honey and syrup to create a multicolored crystaline crust that makes his pancakes shine like gems
BonBon mixes colored sweets with the batter to create an incredibly chewy and elastic pancake tower.
PinkiePie creates an extravagant mix of creams, chips, sprinkles and frosting to make every pancake hide a different, surprising flavor
And AJ packs her pancakes with grated apple, glazed apples, fresh apple slices, apple juice, dried apples and carefully cut apple peels as decoration, all with the most absolute harmony
The rest of the contendants also create incredibly sweet, ingenious flavor combinations
Derpy just watches everyone in awe before she finally starts working on her own dish as well.
The judges begin sampling the incredibly sweet food, they cannot decide which one is the best because all of them look and taste amazing
Eventually the judges decide that AJ and Pinkie’s pancakes are tied as the best ones, each one practically created an ode to harmony and sweetness.
Then Derpy (who finished the last) presents her own pancakes and everyone chuckles at her crudely made food.
They are just some shapeless pancakes, clumsily garnished with applesauce and sourcream
The rejected contestants and the two main contenders can’t wait to see the judges tear her food to pieces, the ugly pancakes simply cannot compete with their carefully made ones.
But the judges aren’t saying shit.
Because they are too busy devouring Derpy’s food.
Forget sampling, they wolf down their plates and immediately declare Derpy as the winner, since she was the only one who understood the contest’s purpose.
WHAT THE HAY?!
Of course everyone immediately complain, how’s that their harmony of sweet flavors could lose against Derpy’s burnt crap?
The judges ask them to try Derpy’s pancakes so they could see by themselves.
The irate contestants do as they were told and discover that Derpy’s pancakes were actually salty potato pancakes.
She says that since everyone else were aiming to create the sweetiest flavors ever, she got worried about the judges’ tastebuds so she prepared something simple and salty, much easier to eat for ponies with their mouths and stomachs overloaded with sugar and sweet flavors.
In other words, she created true comfort food by considering the situation of who was going to eat her food, as opposed of the other contestants who only aimed at overshadowing each other.
Pinkie and AJ admit their defeat and apologize to each other for their previous behavior, the other contestants also apologize for losing sight of what’s really important.
