My Little Pony: Make Your Mark (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Growing Pains - full transcript

Magic's gone wild in Maretime Bay, and Sheriff Hitch is determined to rein it in - unaware that an evil pony is standing by to steal it all for herself.

(Bright music)

It's another beautiful day
in Maretime Bay

where the sun is shining,
the Pegasi are flying…

And practically nothing could go...
Wrong!

Oh, sorry, Hitch…

I was actually trying to open
the door for you.

(Chuckling)
I know you don't like magic…

What? Me not like magic?

Pshh! I'm totally cool with it now!

(Chirping)
What, Kenneth?

Oh, you're right!
I'm already late for my morning rounds!



- (All:) Good morning, Sheriff Hitch!
- Gah!

I mean, gah-reat job, Seashell!

Here, uh… let me help you.

- Thanks! We were actually stuck.
- Magic is pretty wild, huh?!

- Too wild if you ask me.
- Oh no! Are you upset?

Me? Upset? About magic? Never!

So we can use all the magic
we want, then? No rules?

No holding back?
(chuckling)

You were holding back?! Um…
Of course!

(Together): Hitch said,
"Use all the magic you want,"

don't hold back, everypony!

My magic's probably the most powerful
in the 'Bay, wanna see?

Does it involve sweeping?
If not, then no, Sprout.

(Tinkling)



Honest! Just need to warm up.

(Tinkling)

Uh-oh, that's a new feature.

Ah! Ah!

My magic is too powerful! Run!

It's everypony for themselves!

(Screaming)

- (Gasps)
- Berry attack! This is not a drill!

(Screaming)

Ah! Out of the way!

(Dramatic music)

(Screaming)

Ah! Ah!

Ah!

(Screaming)

Yup. Just another beautiful day
in Maretime Bay.

(Chuckling)

Oh, wish I had been around earlier.

Sounds like you made a real impact!

- (laughing)
- Ha-ha. Laugh all you want, Sunny.

But fruit juice funk can stay
in your mane for weeks!

This plant-powered magic
is something special.

Growing stuff at the stomp of a hoof?
Incredible!

Ugh. More like incredibly unpredictable!

I mean, we don't even know
all that it can do yet…

(Sunny): Well we know enough.
Like…

You seem to be the only pony
who can talk to animals.

But have you tried to grow anything yet?

To be honest, I'm afraid to
after this morning.

Come on. You can't judge all
Earth Pony magic on one little mishap!

Ah!

Oh!
(sighs)

Maybe you just need to see the scene
of the slime for yourself.

I swear I don't know what happened!

All I did was stomp like this.

(Tinkling)

Stop the stomping!

First, Maretime Bay was shook up
with magic, and I said nothing.

Uh, that's not true.
You actually said a lot.

Then Earth Pony magic came!
Now I'm saying something.

I keep this place safe and
it's too dangerous without rules!

But if our magic can produce
produce this perfect,

there might be no limit to what we can do!

We can't cut off a whole planet
of possibilities!

More like a cosmos of calamities.

- (Groans)
- But how are the Earth Ponies

gonna grow and learn…
and learn to grow with restrictions?

(Sneezing)

(Tinkling, creaking)

(Awkward chuckle)

Uh, just consider what I'm saying
before you jump to any conclusions.

- (Sighs)
- I'll think about it.

But the safety of ponies in Maretime Bay
is my top priority.

Mmm!

- (Gasps)
- Misty, quick!

That Alicorn is using the mirror
we gave her! Soon her magic will be...

Teasing us as it trots away.

Why has she barely used it?

If it was me, I'd have checked my pout
every minute on the minute!

And what a pout it is, Opaline!
Equal parts chilling and charming!

Don't pander to me, Misty.

Even though you are right.

Well, now it's time for me to tell you
to do something else.

Uhh…

Creating an inventory of
all magic types?

Limiting magic
to the magic hour of dusk?

A card that's bit in half... Hey!

(Chomping)

Sparky, careful!

Sparky, come here!

You won't be in trouble, I promise!

Ah! Sparky, wait!

Sparky! No dragon fire!

(Sighs)

(Cheerful babble)

Aww, I can't be mad at you,
Mr. Sparkeroni.

You're just too cute!

(Bell dings)

(♪♪)

No, no, no, Sparky, don't!

(Clattering)

Love being a dragon dad.

Whoa. That was so funny!

And also, you may need some help?

- (Coughing)
- Whatever gave you that idea?

Sparky's been excitable lately.

He was a hoof-ful already…

But he's literally chomped
through my desk!

Aww, he's just adding his flair
to the furniture, aren't you, Sparky?

You know, if you ever needed
a dragon-sitter,

I'd be happy to look after him.

Wow. Really, Izzy? That'd be great!

(Chirping)
Kenneth! I know, I know.

It's already time for my Town Hall.
Thanks, Izzy!

You're the best
and this helps me out a lot.

If you need anything for Sparky there's
a comprehensive list of do's, don'ts

and potential threats and dangers.
See you later, I'll be outside!

Potential threats and dangers?

What's so dangerous about you?

(Dramatic music)

- (Feedback)
- Hello…

I know we started the day with a pretty
disastrous... I mean, magical morning.

(Clears throat)
After surveying the recent magical changes

in Maretime Bay and the messy ways
they've disrupted our daily lives,

I have decided there will be…

No use of Earth Pony magic…

(Gasps)
Whatsoever.

(Dramatic gasps)

Until I've collected enough data
from all of you to form proper regulations

and guidelines!

(Dramatic gasps)

I assure you,
this is all for your own safety.

We don't know what's possible
with Earth Pony magic yet.

Until I've taken proper inventory of every
flight, float, flora, and fauna power,

magic is off limits. That is all.

(Crowd groans)

(Groaning)

I thought you said you weren't gonna do
anything drastic!

No, I said I would think it over.

And my thoughts are telling me it's bad
and it's only gonna get worse

if I don't step up!

- Ugh, but Earth Pony magic is powerful!
- Exactly!

What's gonna happen if we have
more mishaps?

It's my job to make sure
everypony is safe!

Earth Ponies need to practice.
Like the Pegasi and Unicorns had to!

(Giggling)

Growing pains! They'll get it.

Guessing you ponies were too tied up
for the town hall earlier?

Just a little reminder of the new rules!

(Groans)

Sunny has a point, Hitch.

It's too early to know if Earth Pony magic
is anything to worry about.

Look, I'm part of the reason
Earth Pony magic is here now.

What if I become the reason
Earth Ponies get hurt?

As Sheriff, I can't let that happen!

(Babbling)
(Izzy): Oh, come on, Sparky!

Hey, you hungry? What about food?

Would that calm you down?

Whoa, guess that's a yes!
I am great at this.

Ha-hoo! Play me?

Well, I have never said no
to a talking TV before. Sure!

If you're watching this,
then you are dragon-sitting Sparky!

Here's some important things to know…

Sparky is prone to grunting, grubbing,
grabbing things that aren't his.

Running, racing, wilding out
around the office

until you've exhausted all reasons for why
he could be running in the first place,

and by that time, he's already
resting in a dragon-nap.

Experiencing drowsiness
while dragon-sitting is normal,

though if fire-breathing occurs,
consult the list of foods, fire-safety

and fun suggestions
as well as Sparky safety schedule

located in the cabinet to your left.

Food list!
That sounds like a good start.

Now, where's that cabinet…

(Hitch): Be careful not to cross out
any items on the Sparky schedule.

It's important he does
everything in order.

Don't let him eat before sleeping,
don't let him sleep before eating!

Don't let him do this all unsupervised.

Huh? Even if he asks me to?

Especially if he asks you to!

He's a baby dragon,
he doesn't know any better.

You're the one in charge.

Well…

You seem happy and nothing bad
has happened.

I'm sure this is nothing to worry about.

(Burps)

This a controlled magic experiment
to collect data, Dahlia.

Just muster your magic in
a little burst…

(Intriguing music)

Whoa! Dahlia? Where'd you go?

Is now the time I mention
I'm allergic to gardenias?

(Sneezing)

(Groans)

(Babbling, crashing)

(♪♪)

Sparky, don't do that again!

Unless I'm around to film it!

Now do it again, but wilder!

Let your freaky-fun-flag fly, Sparky!

Fly!

And what's your magic?

Ah!

Perfect, great. Don't do it again.

(Izzy): That's the spirit!

Abandon all order!
Dazzle with destruction!

Express yourself to the extreme!

I…

Don't do it again.

Huh?

- (Zipp): Look at their hooves!
- They're all glowing!

And fizzing?

Okay…

This is officially getting weird!

(♪♪)

Eh? I didn't even want to do that!

(Camera shutter clicking)

See? I just need to plan
and plot out

a perfectly thought-out list
of precautions

all before you ponies can say,
"Presto"!

(Together): Presto! Presto!

Ha-ha. I didn't mean literally.

No, Hitch, the ponies, they're...

Safe and protected
now that we've put a stop to this.

- You'll see...
- Magic is out of control again!

And I have video proof!

In a sassy-sparkle filter, too!

I know, the sunglasses are
a great touch, right?

The Pippsqueaks made it just for me.

Why didn't you try to tell me?!

I think it has something to do with
the glowing hooves!

Not a good look, Jazz!

- (Shrieks)
- What does this mean?!

It's gotta be the built-up
Earth Pony magic!

I don't think you're supposed
to keep it all in!

I was wrong, I shouldn't have
put a pause on Earth Pony magic.

Oh, I'm so happy to hear you say that.
I've been trying to tell you...

I should've gone straight
to the Unity Crystals!

When ponies united and
the unity crystals were created,

every pony got their magic.
Maybe if we remove the Earth Pony one…

What?! No, that's not what I meant.

You were right, Sunny!
Earth Pony magic is powerful.

Too powerful! We never had it before,
why do we need it now?

Come on!

The crystals aren't the problem!

But maybe if we interviewed
everypony again, we could figure it out!

There's nothing left to figure out!

This is the only way to keep
Maretime Bay safe.

Ugh. Rash decisions don't keep
anypony safe!

Ah!

(Coughing)
(sneezing)

Look around!

We have to try and reset
those crystals soon or else…

I don't wanna know or else!

(Intense music)

Ah! Did Zipp teach you that, Sparky?!

(Rumbling)
Huh?

(Burps)

(Dramatic music)

Hmm… that looked more serious
than a simple trot through town.

Hey, friends! Wait up!

(Whimpering)

Aw! Looks like you got all
your energy out. And right on time!

Izzy has to pop out real quick,
but if you're good while I'm gone, I'll…

Unicycle your very own race track!

(Babbling cheerfully)

Thought you'd like that.
Okay, Kenneth, you're in charge!

Watch Sparky for just a moment.

Okay, good dragon. Stay right there!
BRB!

Taking the Earth Pony crystal out
is the only way

- to keep everypony safe from this mayhem.
- Whoa, whoa, slow your roll!

You don't know that!

Removing a crystal is not like flipping
a switch. We could lose everything!

But if we don't try something,
we could still lose everything!

Hitch, no.

(Dramatic music)

What am I doing?!

You're right! This isn't me!

(Relieved sigh)

Guess I'm just scared and unsure.

Magic doesn't operate by any rules!
Rules are what I know!

What if I can't be the Sheriff
everypony needs now?

You'll always be a strong Sheriff,
Hitch. Because you care.

I'm sorry, everypony.
I just love Maretime Bay so much.

But maybe having less magic
isn't the answer.

But we're going to find out
what is the answer. Right?

- Yeah!
- You bet!

Of course!

(♪♪)

Our Cutie Mark magic is… combining?

(All gasp)

- What filter is that?!
- It's not a filter, it's…

Twilight Sparkle!

If you're seeing this, magic is now more
powerful than it's ever been…

And Earth Pony magic has been activated
for the first time

in the history of Equestria!

Magic is alive.

Always changing, growing stronger…

There are evil forces out there
who will want to exploit it.

Once a pony tried to steal
all the magic in Equestria for herself

and almost succeeded.

I did all that I could
to protect it from…

(Static)

…by summoning
all of my magical strength

to achieve placing the magic
in the crystals and the…

(Static)
But the spell is broken!

You are exposed to the world once again.

You must watch out for Op...

(static)
Before she op...

I'm with you.

No! Come back!

(Rumbling)

It's time, Hitch.
You worked hard, researched,

tried your best to keep the Bay safe,
but you've got to reverse action.

If I wasn't you, I'd tell you…
you got this.

Um, who you talking to?

And who's the evil pony?!
(Misty): Uh… Opaline?

Ugh. If it's another compliment
on my hooves, Misty,

"hooftastic" isn't a word
and I refuse to acknowledge it.

No, look.

The Earth Pony magic is getting worse!

Magic isn't getting worse,

it's growing into something
it never has before.

But if it's growing this fast,
how're we gonna stop it?

Oh no, no, no, no, we won't be
stopping anything, Misty.

In fact, we're gonna let it thrive.

So that when we pluck it,

it will be the most powerful
it has ever been!

(Evil laughter)

(Forced laughter)

Ugh, if you're going to maniacal laugh
with me, Misty,

at least be in sync. Ready?
And…

(Evil laughter)

(Intense music)

Forget what I said earlier,
use your magic! As much as you can!

But also focus and guide your magic!

(Inspiring music)

(Cheering)

Express yourselves!

Let your freaky fun flags fly!

That's right!
Listen to Sunny and… Izzy?!

- Where's Sparky?
- Uh…

He's back at the station
dragon-napping!

Oh, okay then.
Wait. Did you say napping?!

He's going to be up all night now!

(Groans)

(♪♪)

Yes!

(Rumbling)

(Screaming)

Hitch, look! Giant glimmer berry
coming again, six o'clock!

But it's only 2:15!

(Screaming)

(Groaning, gasping)

My Pippsqueaks!

(Hitch): Link hooves just like
we did around the Unity Crystals!

Our powers are always
stronger together, right?

(Tinkling)

Relax, Hitch.
All you have to do is trust yourself.

You've got everything you already need.

(♪♪)

(Exclaiming)

The tree's right in the berry's path!
We're protected!

We're gonna save the ponies.
We're actually gonna do it!

Oh no…

Hey, look! We're a friendship smoothie.

(Giggling)

Hmm, the perfect blend!

(laughing)

(Cheering)

Told ya, Earth Pony magic
is something else.

Who knew you had the power
to grow magical trees?

Speaking of, have you seen this thing?
It's like five sparkle filters combined!

Zipp File number 3-1-O:

Flowers on magical tree look strangely
familiar somehow.

Must investigate.

You were right, Sunny. I shouldn't have
tried to control all that magic,

especially my own.

- (loud crash)
- What was that?

It sounds like it was coming straight
from the station.

- (Gasps)
- Sparky!

Izzy, I thought I told you not to let
Sparky make a mess…

That is entirely cleaned up.

Wow!

I've never seen Sparky this happy.

Did you follow the Safety Schedule?

Feed him before sleeping,
not sleeping before eating?

Check all the boxes
on the comprehensive list I left?

Nope, nope, and… nope!

I tried that at first, but soon found out
that ditching all the rules

and letting Sparky run free was just
what the dragon ordered!

Isn't that right, little cutie?

(Purring)

Thanks, Izzy.
I… may have over-thought it a bit.

Trying to work on that. I mean,

he's just a little dragon,
what's the worst that could happen?

(Sneezing)

And… there it is.

Woah! Sparky has magic?

(Sneezing)

What, you didn't know?

We'll clean that up later, buddy.

(Chuckling)

(Chittering)

(Tinkling)

Okay Sparky,
that's enough magic for today.

(Soft music)

(Rhythmic music)

Subtitling: Difuze
