My Little Pony: Make Your Mark (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Ali-Conned - full transcript

Pardon me, excuse me,
but also,

I have a really important announcement!
One that will change all of our lives!

Hurry, come listen!

Ponies of Maretime Bay:
I have some alarming news…

We eat too much junk food!

You're just saying that to get us to come
to your Smoothie Cart!

What?! No! But it is something
we need to talk about.

Why constantly eat junk food,
full of, well, junk,

when we have amazing new Earth Pony powers

we could be using to create
fresh fruits and veggies of our own?

Imagine the possibilities!



Like what?

We could magically combine plants
to make them more delicious

or, or even invent new flavors of fruits.

We can grow as ponies
by growing our own food!

Not another one of Sunny's lost causes.

Ugh, yuck to that. And yum to you!

Hey! How's your rally going?

So far, it's been nothing but failure.

Nopony in town even took one, did they?

To be fair, these fliers do have a giant
"no" sign across a picture of French fries.

There are so many things that need changing.

How can I make the world a better place
if nopony is willing to listen?

With all our new Earth Pony powers,
there's so much potential!

I just want to help!



Oh no, she didn't!

Okay, tell us more about
them fruits and vegetables, Sunny!

I finally got your attention?

♪ Hey you've gotta let it glow ♪

♪ You've gotta let it shine ♪

♪ Oh let's make our mark together ♪

♪ Just riding on forever ♪

♪ Just keeps on getting
better, better, better ♪

♪ Hey ♪

♪ Everypony everywhere ♪

♪ You can feel it in the air ♪

♪ Find your spark
and just glow and shine ♪

♪ Make a mark
that you can share ♪

♪ Hoof to heart
you know we care ♪

♪ Oh ponies come on ♪

♪ Let's all unite ♪♪

Episode Title: "Ali-Conned"
Aired on: September 26, 2022.

Woo! I am over the Luna-moon!

Ah! The response in town
ent from zero to 100 in seconds.

Ah! What gives, right?!

I think I can solve this mystery pretty quick.

Or, maybe you should just use
that Alicorn mirror of yours…

I have something on my face again, don't I?
Ah, I knew it...

My Alicorn magic?
Ah! It was an accident!

Oh, this keeps happening…

But that isn't a bad thing.
It's a wonderful thing!

That line is full of eager ponies
who want to listen to you.

Am I jealous about that? No! Never.
Because I'm secure in myself.

And I have thousands
of followers

on multiple platforms
validating my every move.

Ah… not that that matters.
It doesn't!

Why are they all looking at me?

Because well, look at you!
You're an Alicorn!

Soon, everypony will be watching
your every move

while breathing down
your neck at every moment,

shouting,
"Sunny, Sunny, Sunny!"

"Ah! We love you!"

That is… a lot.
I'm not used to all this attention.

I, uh, I need some… space.
A-hum. Yeah! Space. Okay.

I gotta get a hold of this.

I don't want to be an Alicorn right now.

There we go! Phew! Finally.

Sunny can transform
into her Alicorn form?

I've never seen this before…

And she doesn't want to
always be an Alicorn?

However, if I can get Sunny to embrace
her Alicorn powers,

just imagine what I could accomplish
with another Alicorn by my side.

- I'll be even closer to the magic I need.
- Totally.

What is that?

A smoothie! It's got jicama in it,
which isn't my favorite…

But it still tastes like happiness.
Want some?

This is no time to drink vegetables!

But it is time to plot. We have a job to do.

Misty, I'm going to need you to infiltrate.

- But how?
- Ugh!

Join a group of ponies! Blend in!
I don't care!

Just do whatever you have to do
and find a way to get Sunny vulnerable.

And as for Sunny's compact…

Well, I think it could use a little extra
Alicorn magic, don't you?

Something bothering you, Pipp?

Don't mention it to Zipp, but yes!

None of my ClipTrots have been doing well.

These super popular and adorable ponies,
the Filly Four,

have been totally slaying the game.

I'm not saying
it's a competition or anything,

but this post has got
thousands of hooftaps!

My latest post only got three likes
and one monkey.

And I don't even know what a monkey means!

- In a little bit of a slump?
- I've been trying everything lately,

singing loudly, singing softly,
singing in general…

Oh my hoofness. What if I've been…

…shadow banished?!

I don't know what that means,
but it sounds ominous.

Thank you, Jazz.

Shadowbanishing is when
your content gets blocked to viewers!

I mean, it has to be that, right?

There can't be any other explanation…

Why are you laughing
at such a serious time as this?!

Oh, sorry. It's just this video of Sparky.
You gotta see it.

- Aw!
- That was so adorable. Wow.

And look at all these comments,
shares, and likes…

And monkeys.

What does that mean?!

Yeah, my little buddy has some
sort of magic touch!

I call it "Sparky's Spark".
All of his stuff goes viral.

Hmm, viral, you say…

Do you think I could I borrow him
for a little bit?

Dragons it? Usually, Izzy does that.
But sure!

I could use a little "me" time.
And you can bond with Sparky!

Yes. Yes. Bonding!

That's exactly what I plan to do.

And definitely not crack the code
of "Sparky's Spark".

Not that.

How can I help you, fellow thirsty
and engaged citizen?

I'll take the Alicorn-Special!

Alicorn-special?
Uh, we don't have anything like that.

I don't really care what it is.

I just want a smoothie that an Alicorn,
like yourself, would drink.

Okay, sure. Yeah, I'll conjure that up.

But I kinda want it made by the Alicorn,
you know?

Please, oh please,
do the Alicorn-thing again, Sunny!

It's so cool!

The thing is,
it doesn't exactly work like that. Um…

Why don't I help you with your orders

and tell you about this awesome idea
I have instead?

Ugh!

To get more ponies interested
in fruits and veggies,

we can build a community garden!

A massive one, where everypony
can practice the art of...

Excuse me, I think some dust got kicked up.
Anyway, I...

Uh, Sunny? You're an Alicorn again.

So sparkly!

- Amazing.
- Gorgeous!

Wow! I wanna be like you when I grow up!

You do?

Are there any super-cool causes
we can help with right now?!

Really? Actually… there are!

Um… Okay! Let's see.

We can start with some
planters around town

and save "Air horns
for Armadillos!" for later.

That name kind of speaks for itself…

All my dreams are coming true.

The community
is literally growing together!

What are you growing over there?
Grapefruits?

Ah, no, uh… zucchini?

It's a grape-chini!

A combination grapefruit-zucchini!

Oh. Interesting! I'm just happy
you're all showing such enthusiasm.

We made the Alicorn happy!

Neigh-way!

Is that…

The Filly Four!

Sunny, we've been looking for you
everywhere!

It's so nice to finally meet.

We went to school together, Sugar.
I sat next to you in...

I'm Sugar, this is Rose dust,
Lily, and, uh…

What's that new unicorn's name?

Minty? That slot is always on rotation,
so we forget. Ha!

We were just about to go shopping.
Wanna join?

I don't need to go shopping, but…

But if you come with us,
everypony is going to

see us together and
we're super influential.

Imagine what you could do
with all that power.

- Exactly, Marcy!
- Misty.

Whatever. All you have to do
is hang out with us.

- And stay an Alicorn, of course.
- Right!

Uh… One sec.

I just need to freshen up.
Over there.

Freshen up? In a hardware store?
Weird, but okay.

Hey!

Pipp! The Filly Four want me
to hang out with them.

What should I do?

The Filly Four?!

They're the ones eclipsing me
on social media! They're like…

Super-famous right now.

- They are?
- Yeah!

You need to do all you can to get them
on your side.

Ah, your school days
are coming full-circle, Sunny.

You're going from misfit to popular pony!

Okay! I'm gonna do it then.

Oh no, no. Not now!

Sunny…

Sunny…

Sunny.

Is this… me?

Yes. Hello, me! Hello, you.

Wow! I need to share this
with Zipp right away!

Wait!

This "magic mirror" is only for Alicorns,
Sunny.

I'm your inner voice.
I'm here to guide you.

- You are?
- Yes!

If any other type of pony uses it,
it will lose its enchantment.

Because Alicorns are special.

You are special.
Haven't you noticed?

No, no. But I do feel different…

Not different. Special. Better even.

Why be a basic, boring Earth Pony,
when you can be…

An Alicorn?!

Then how… How do I stay an Alicorn?

Find the source
of your power and harness it.

Then all your wildest dreams can come true!

Even the community garden?!

That's your wildest dream?
We'll work on that, but yes!

I've been drafting my garden dream board
at the Bright house!

Oh, I really want it
to become a place where

I can help other
ponies use their magic.

- A place where everypony can...
- Yes. That's it! Look.

Go take what's rightfully yours…

Wow. Thank you so much… Me!

Uh… Mirror me?

Sunny-Squared?

I'll come up with a better name soon.

Sunny's easier to manipulate
than I thought.

As long as Misty puts on the pressure too,
she'll be on our side in no time.

Okay, Sparky. I need your help here.

I can't risk losing all relevance
in the digital world.

I must go viral.

What gives you that "spark" I'm missing?

Hmm. Let's see…

Yeah!

Ooh!

Ah!

Yeah!

Can you please not right now?

Ugh! What does Sparky have that I don't?!
I have to get to the bottom of this.

Well, good thing I carry several

phones on me for good measure.

No! Oh, my eyes! It burns!

Alright! Feeling much better.
After looking at gardening tools, I'm in!

- Perf! Then let's get shopping.
- I have another idea!

I decided I'm going
to make an announcement

about this huge project
I've been working on

and I want to get everypony involved.

Only if they want to get involved, though.

- Yes!
- We do!

Please!

The Filly Four would love to help.

We'll rally all the ponies in town
to hear the news! We're here for you.

But first, smile!

That is so going viral.

Perfect!

Whoa, there. What's gotten into you?

Yeah, you seem so… chill.

Pipp offered to watch Sparky
for the afternoon

and I finally got
some much needed "me" time.

Which is going to end with myself,
a bubble bath,

and the newest Bridlewood Beatnik
jazz album.

Cool, cool. Wait... You let Pipp do what?

No doubt she's having a relaxing time
with Sparky, too.

Now, where did I put
that hydrating face mask?

Oh, Pipp.

What have you gotten yourself into?

Up-and-up he goes, like the Filly Four.

Oh! Why can't I get one thing to trend?

What is my skill set if not this?!

What is my Sparky's spark?!

I have an idea!

Nope. It was Sparky.

Ow!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Would the Alicorn like to be fanned
with an Earth Pony-grown branch?

Or maybe she would like to try one of these
fresh Earth Pony-grown grapes, made by me?

Uh… okay? Thanks!

No, no. You mustn't lift one perfect
Alicorn-hoof of yours.

You deserve to be treated
like the Alicorn-royalty that you are,

all the time, forever.

Isn't it nice?

You have to tell us,
how do you get your mane so shiny?

Does it feel weird when you glow?

What's it like being ethereal?

Uh, I gotta go, you know,
do the "ali" stuff I do.

That's the Ali-part of being an Ali-corn.
So. Yeah.

Anything for an Alicorn!

I love you, Alicorn!

What should I do?

I feel so lost…

Continue on this path to glory.

You are an Alicorn.

You should be praised, admired, feared.

But I don't want that!

Do you remember how
horrible it was before?

How nopony would listen to you?
How small you felt?

Yes, I do.

No! Come back. Come back!

I don't need to be an Alicorn
for ponies to like me, right?

Right?

Excuse me!
Can you point me to where the podium is?

- I need to...
- Shh, the Alicorn is gonna speak!

But I'm not the... Ugh! Never mind.

What are you doing? You have to be
in Alicorn form or else our plan...

I mean, your plan isn't going to work!

We'll see about that!

Hello? Testing…

My Fellow Ponies...

- Alicorn!
- Alicorn!

Alicorn! Alicorn!

Sugar. Psst, Sugar Moonlight!
Why is everypony really here?

Well, duh. We want you to like us.

But of course I like you.
You're my friends.

Well, not "Sunny." The Alicorn!

None of the ponies here actually care
about these silly causes.

Nopony even liked you before.

But you're cool now.
At least when you're an Alicorn.

This isn't what I wanted. At all.

Hey, hey, Sunny!

We have something really exciting we wanna
show you that we've been working on and...

Do you wanna show me
or show the Alicorn?

I can't do this.

Go away.

We don't like to see you hurting, Sunny.

- Hey, what's wrong?
- It was a lie.

Nopony actually cares about these causes,

they only care about me being an Alicorn!

I don't want to be followed and adored
just because of what I am.

I want ponies to believe, truly believe,
in what they're fighting for.

That they can make the world a better place
for every ponykind.

Being an Alicorn doesn't make you
different!

- It makes you the same.
- It does?

You're everypony, all-in-one!
Like Zipp's spy-gear.

Or one of those pens you push
that has every color!

But as an Earth Pony
or an Alicorn,

you've inspired all of us
to be better ponies.

That's your true power.

Thank you, Izzy. I guess that is true.

And really, really wise?

I carry the limitless knowledge
of my Unicorn ancestors.

Okay.

I'm ready to see whatever
you two were talking about earlier.

Good. Cause I think it'll put you
in even better spirits.

Shh, Auntie Buttons! Not now!

Come on!

Am I never going to go viral?

Am I?!

Woo-hoo!

Zipp was right. The likes and validation,
it isn't worth it.

This isn't fun anymore!

So what's the point?

I'm just going to stop and…

Be my own, un-viral self. Be an obscure,
but sane, pop star princess.

Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no, no!
Sparky!

Ow! Ow!

Oh, yeah. Ow! Ow!

Wah!
No, no, no, no!

Ow! Ow!

Sparky, you created this?

Yeah…

But… but… it's unflattering!
It's embarrassing!

It's… it's…

Hilarious!

You know what?

It actually feels kinda good
to laugh at myself. Thank you.

Well. As fun as that was, we have somewhere
super important to be right now, huh?

Um… I will fix that later.

Argh!

Foolish of me to think that Sunny
could understand her Alicorn greatness!

But I'm not giving up.
I don't need another Alicorn!

I can finish this myself!

- The way it's always been.
- Opaline!

Um, I have to tell you that…

Our plans failed.

I know they failed!

That Alicorn clearly doesn't understand
what it means to be one.

She's a disgrace to my kind.

So I'll do her a favor.

I'll take her power, all of their power!

But to do that, we'll need to go
directly to the source.

The Bright house,
home of the Unity Crystals.

The one place I can't glance inside of.

I need to find a new way in.

And I know just the thing…

Okay,
just two more steps to the left.

Oh, one to the right,
take it back now, ya'll!

- Izzy!
- Okay, okay.

And now!

Oh! A community garden?!

- Ta-da!
- What do ya think?

We knew you've been hoping
to build something like this forever.

So we made it happen!

A little helping hoof for the pony
who helps all of us to be better.

I… I'm…

So grateful for all of you.

You turned into an Alicorn again!

I know. But this time, it feels different.

I think I can only
transform into an Alicorn

when I feel like I'm
truly helping somepony,

because that's my best self.

So you can't just do it for any reason.
It has to mean something special!

Fascinating…

Uh… Pipp? Did you mean to post this?!

Because it's hilarious!

Yup! Sparky found
a way to show me

that it isn't about always
about being perfect.

It's about being true to yourself.

We like you for who you are, Pipp.

And you all like
me for who I am.

No matter what
kind of pony I am!

And I know
I can change the world with that.

Hey! Where is Sparky?

Sparky!

Oh no! I totally forgot.

And that one's gone viral too.

What can I say? Ouch! Ow!

Sparky!
Enough with the apples already!
