Mildred: But that verse also says that we can make it all better. We can make people feel good.
 
Fili-Second: Remember, Faust doesn’t want us to tell stories that can hurt. She wants us to spread nice words, and if you can do that, you’ll be that hero too. See ya next time.
 
Mildred: Ta-ta!

Filli-Second: “Hmm. So the scrolls says, if you’re not careful, your words can hurt ponies, just like a sword.”
 
Mildred shows up
 
Mildred: “Oh, is that right!”
 
“Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle didn’t mean to hurt Mildred, but they weren’t careful with what they said, and who they said it to. And it caused big problems.”

Fili-Second: We’re back at the Fili Cave to wrap this one up and send you home. Mildred, do you suppose the scrolls have anything to say about what happened today?
 
Mildred: As a matter of fact it does, it’s coming up on the screen right now.
 
Fili-Second: Here take a look at this.
 
we see the verse
 
Fili-Second: Reckless words pierce like a sword. But the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18.

@Background Pony #279F  
Filli-Second: “Say there, citizens! We really had an adventure today, didn’t we? That was a thorny one! I mean, once that problem got going, it just spread like a w-”
 
Mildred: “Ah, Mistress Filli, enough with the puns! Can we please get on with these?”
 
“Uh, sorry.”

fades to Fili-Second in the cave

@ianpony98  
A flower goes up to the screen

everyone looks down and smiles
 
Fili-Second: Oh. Hey Mildred. Somebody told me you were a robot.
 
Crowd: Shh.
 
Fili-Second: looks around Is there a flower show?

@ianpony98  
flowers start sprouting around the Mother Weed until her head becomes one; the clouds clear
 
Mildred: “Ahh!”
 
she’s sliding down the vines back on to the ground
 
Mayor Mare: “We’re sorry we thought you were a robot.”
 
Filthy Rich: “We din’t even ask you if it was true!”
 
“Oh, I forgive you. I forgive you all! Uh, has anyone seen Filli-Second?”
 
grappling gadget pops out of the sewer, pulls out a badly beaten Filli-Second

@ianpony98  
Filthy Rich: “Well, I remember when Mildred helped me out with my dinner party. A scary robot wouldn’t do that!”
 
Snips: “She helped me change a wagon wheel.”
 
Random pony: “She carried my groceries for me.”
 
Flash: sobbing “She helped us with our bake sale!”
 
Everyone: “What a nice mare!”
 
Weed looks to Mildred who just grins

Sweetie Belle: Did you see that?
 
Scootaloo: Yeah, do you think?
 
Sweetie Belle: We can save Miss Mildred by spreading some nice words. Come on.
 
Scootaloo: Hey, Miss Mildred is a nice mare.
 
Flash Sentry: What? The scary robot.
 
Scootaloo: She’s not a robot. She’s a nice mare who came to our class to tell us stories.

@ianpony98  
Dash: “Listen, if you hear something about someone that sounds bad, or even just weird, you should ask them about it, or ask your mom or dad. But don’t spread rumors. Even if it’s true, Faust doesn’t want us to tell stories that can hurt, she wants us to spread nice words.”
 
Scootaloo: “So, Miss Mildred isn’t a robot.”
 
“No, Miss Mildred is a very nice mare.” flowers pop out behind her

Rainbow Dash: Sometimes grown ups say something that really means something else. When Miss Mildred said she needed to “recharge her batteries”, it really meant that she was tired and needed to go home and rest. That’s all.
 
Scootaloo: Oh.

@ianpony98  
Sweetie: “Oh. Well, we heard Miss Mildred tell you that she needed to ‘recharge her batteries’.”
 
Scootaloo: “So we thought she must be a robot. Right?”
 
Rainbow Dash: “Oh, kids, that was a figure of speech!”
 
“A what?”

Rainbow Dash: Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, do you have something to tell me?

@ianpony98  
Scootaloo: “It’s a big weed, Dash! Didn’t you hear? Miss Mildred is really a dangerous robot with laser eyes!”
 
Dash: “What? Who said that?”
 
Filthy Rich: “It’s true! She’s gonna take over the world!”
 
“Now where did you hear that?”
 
“The weed told me! Yeah, isn’t that right?”
 
Dash goes up to the Mother Weed
 
“Did you make up this story?”
 
Mother Weed: “What? I’m a rumor weed! I never make anything up! I heard it from two very reliable sources. Right, kids?”
 
Sweetie and Scootaloo look at each other

Rainbow Dash flies in
 
Rainbow Dash: Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, what’s going on? What’s that thing that has Mildred?

@ianpony98  
Filthy Rich: “It’s the robot! She’s shaking the world!”
 
Mildred: “I’m not shaking anything! It’s shaking me!”
 
Mother Weed rises out; everyone panics
 
“Ahh!”
 
Weed takes Mildred and holds her hostage atop the courthouse
 
Random pony: “Hey, the weed has the robot!”
 
Other pony: “Serves her right! The menace!”

@ianpony98  
Random pony: “I heard she wants to take over the world!”
 
Hondo Flanks: “I heard there are teenagers inside her that know karate!”
 
Another pony: “Our children are in danger!”
 
Mildred: “No! No! It’s not true! I’m not a robot!”

@ianpony98  
Filthy Rich: “Don’t look at her eyes! They’re laser beams!”
 
Mildred: “No wait! crowd gets closer I’m not a robot! I’m from Sire’s Hollow!”
 
In the sewer, Filli-Second gets pummeled
 
“I’m warning you, I’m a super- gets knocked to the wall …hero.”
 
Mother Weed: “Face it, you can’t stop this weed! Thanks to your friends up there, I’m getting bigger by the minute!” laughs
 
Weed: “So, did you hear the one about Mildred?”
 
“What?”

@ianpony98  
cut to the town square
 
Mildred: “Everyone, listen to me!”
 
crowd sees her; Mildred sees the mayor and Flash
 
“Ah, Mayor! Filli-Second needs our help! She’s-”
 
Flash: “Look, Mayor, it’s like I told ya! She’s got a shiny metal head, just like a robot!”
 
Mayor Mare: “You’re right! Stand back, evil robot!”
 
“Oh no, that’s my helmet, it keeps my brain safe.”
 
“Your robot brain!”
 
“No. What? No!”
