of spell you can whip up

00:07:36,522 --> 00:07:39,758
Um, I don't know if any of
you remember, but using magic

00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:29,542
We can help her
find her purpose!
173
00:08:29,575 --> 00:08:31,744
And I reckon doin' that
is the same for Griffons
174
00:08:31,777 --> 00:08:35,714
as it is for ponies... or any
other creature in Equestria!
175
00:08:35,747 --> 00:08:39,251
All we have to do is be extra
special clear with her.
176
00:08:39,284 --> 00:08:41,854
Like, Crystal Empire clear.
177
00:08:41,887 --> 00:08:42,955
Yeah!
178
00:08:44,957 --> 00:08:46,859
INCOMING!
179
00:08:48,193 --> 00:08:51,697
[groans]
180
00:08:51,730 --> 00:08:53,966
Hiya, you wonderful,
wonderful Crusaders.
181
00:08:53,999 --> 00:08:56,235
I just know you figured
out how to help me
182
00:08:56,268 --> 00:08:57,903
because you're
all so incredible!
183
00:08:57,936 --> 00:09:01,073
Well, Gabby, we've
talked it over
184
00:09:01,106 --> 00:09:04,176
and we think we may just
be able to help you out
185
00:09:04,209 --> 00:09:07,079
but not exactly in
the way you think.
186
00:09:07,112 --> 00:09:10,316
See, here's the thing about
you getting a cutie mark.
187
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,186
I'M GETTING A Cutie
mark! Wooo-whooooo!
188
00:09:14,219 --> 00:09:17,089
Wait, you didn't let me finish!
189
00:09:17,122 --> 00:09:18,691
WHEEEEE!
190
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:21,627
Um, I think maybe that
could have been clearer.
191
00:09:22,894 --> 00:09:26,165
Cutie mark, cutie mark,
gonna get my cutie mark!
192
00:09:26,198 --> 00:09:29,101
YEAH! Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!
193
00:09:29,134 --> 00:09:33,706
She's still going! Anypony know
if Griffons ever get tired?
194
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:36,008
What do you think my mark
will be? A lightning bolt?
195
00:09:36,041 --> 00:09:39,311
An erupting volcano?! I don't
care if it's a jar of marmalade.
196
00:09:39,344 --> 00:09:41,847
I know I'll love
it, whatever it is!
197
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,016
Hold on just a hoofstep, Gabby,
198
00:09:44,049 --> 00:09:46,051
there's something
we need to clear up.
199
00:09:46,084 --> 00:09:48,754
We can definitely help
you find your purpose
200
00:09:48,787 --> 00:09:51,290
but that mark's probably
not gonna happen.
201
00:09:51,323 --> 00:09:53,092
WHAT?!
202
00:09:53,125 --> 00:09:55,794
It's true. Twilight's
never heard of a creature
203
00:09:55,827 --> 00:09:58,664
other than a pony
getting a cutie mark.
204
00:09:58,697 --> 00:10:02,635
Oh, pfft, is that all? You
had me worried for a second.
205
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:05,738
I mean, there's a first
time for everything, right?
206
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:09,041
And she didn't say it
was impossible, right?
207
00:10:09,074 --> 00:10:11,243
Well, not exactly.
208
00:10:11,276 --> 00:10:14,246
Well, then if anypony can make
it happen, it's you three!
209
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:17,750
I mean, you haven't failed yet!
210
00:10:17,783 --> 00:10:19,084
You know what, Gabby?
211
00:10:19,117 --> 00:10:21,854
I promise, we're gonna
do everything we can
212
00:10:21,887 --> 00:10:23,322
to help you get your mark!
213
00:10:23,355 --> 00:10:29,328
OH! It's gonna happen! I can
feel it! Whoo hoo! Whoo hoo!
214
00:10:29,361 --> 00:10:31,930
Aaaaand, she's off again.
215
00:10:31,963 --> 00:10:33,766
Why in tarnation would
you promise something
216
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:36,101
that just can't be done!
217
00:10:36,134 --> 00:10:39,104
I know what it's like to want
something that's out of reach.
218
00:10:39,137 --> 00:10:41,106
And just because it
hasn't happened yet
219
00:10:41,139 --> 00:10:42,875
doesn't mean it can't.
220
00:10:42,908 --> 00:10:45,878
Maybe trying for the
impossible isn't so bad.
221
00:10:45,911 --> 00:10:48,914
I guess we'll never know for
sure unless we give it a try.
222
00:10:48,947 --> 00:10:51,383
All right. But where
do we even start?
223
00:10:51,416 --> 00:10:56,755
Where we always do, with a good
ol' fashioned Crusaders CHART!
224
00:10:56,788 --> 00:11:00,392
The first thing we gotta
do is find your purpose.
225
00:11:00,425 --> 00:11:02,194
No pony gets a mark without one.
226
00:11:02,227 --> 00:11:04,463
All right! Let's do this!
227
00:11:04,496 --> 00:11:06,999
What are you good at?
Do you play any sports?
228
00:11:07,032 --> 00:11:08,233
Or like to dance?
229
00:11:08,267 --> 00:11:13,739
Or how about singing? I just
love to sing. LA LA LA LAAAAAAA!
230
00:11:13,772 --> 00:11:16,341
Wow. I kinda wanna
just try everything.
231
00:11:16,374 --> 00:11:18,877
I mean, I don't even
know what to pick!
232
00:11:18,910 --> 00:11:21,280

[song ends]
281
00:13:41,953 --> 00:13:45,157
Gabby's special purpose
can't be everything, right?
282
00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:46,625
It may as well be.
283
00:13:46,658 --> 00:13:49,228
I don't know how we find
what she's supposed to do
284
00:13:49,261 --> 00:13:51,897
when she can do it all.
285
00:13:51,930 --> 00:13:54,900
And if finding her
purpose seems impossible,
286
00:13:54,933 --> 00:13:57,169
we can just forget about
the whole Griffon-getting
287
00:13:57,202 --> 00:14:01,273
-a-cutie-mark thing which
is actually impossible.
288
00:14:01,306 --> 00:14:03,909
I never should have
gotten her hopes up.
289
00:14:03,942 --> 00:14:07,379
I Did. It. All! So? Lay
it on me, Crusaders.
290
00:14:07,412 --> 00:14:09,181
What's my purpose?
291
00:14:09,214 --> 00:14:13,285
And how do we get a mark
on these here haunches?
292
00:14:13,318 --> 00:14:17,990
Gabby, we ... we don't.
293
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:20,659
Wait! What are you saying?
294
00:14:20,692 --> 00:14:22,961
We're saying that since
you can do everything
295
00:14:22,994 --> 00:14:25,230
so amazingly well...
296
00:14:25,263 --> 00:14:29,301
we just can't figure out what
one thing you're supposed to do.
297
00:14:29,334 --> 00:14:32,471
Gabby. We can't help you.
298
00:14:32,504 --> 00:14:36,074
But-but you're the world-famous
Cutie Mark Crusaders!
299
00:14:36,107 --> 00:14:40,112
I can't believe it. I
- I WON'T believe it.
300
00:14:40,145 --> 00:14:41,613
Gabby! Wait!
301
00:14:41,646 --> 00:14:45,584
We're sorry! We're so, so sorry!
302
00:14:45,617 --> 00:14:47,653
This is just awful!
303
00:14:47,686 --> 00:14:50,656
For the first time ever,
the Cutie Mark Crusaders
304
00:14:50,689 --> 00:14:53,525
are cutie mark... failures!
305
00:14:53,558 --> 00:14:55,027
♪ [dramatic flourish] ♪
306
00:14:58,330 --> 00:15:02,601
I'm sorry, Crusaders. I really
thought we could help Gabby.
307
00:15:02,634 --> 00:15:05,170
I thought we could help anypony.
308
00:15:05,203 --> 00:15:08,707
Maybe that's just it. Maybe
we can only help ponies.
309
00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:11,310
Or maybe we just plain failed.
310
00:15:11,343 --> 00:15:15,580
Failed? Then what
do you call THIS?
311
00:15:15,613 --> 00:15:18,283
A CUTIE MARK!?
312
00:15:18,316 --> 00:15:21,053
WHAT? You got your
mark after all!
313
00:15:21,086 --> 00:15:22,721
Even though we couldn't
find your purpose?
314
00:15:22,754 --> 00:15:25,958
But - whaaaa? Huh? HOW?
315
00:15:25,991 --> 00:15:28,593
An' what does it
mean? A cauldron?
316
00:15:28,626 --> 00:15:32,965
Um, I don't know. Maybe
it means my purpose is uh,
317
00:15:32,998 --> 00:15:34,633
helping uh, Zecora with potions.
318
00:15:34,666 --> 00:15:36,435
That's the first thing I tried.
319
00:15:36,468 --> 00:15:40,072
I guess it just took some time
to appear but here it is!
320
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:43,608
This. Is. AWESOME!
We're not failures.
321
00:15:43,641 --> 00:15:45,344
Whatever we did WORKED!
322
00:15:45,377 --> 00:15:48,213
I had a feeling we could
help you and we did!
323
00:15:48,246 --> 00:15:50,749
Ooh, we've gotta go see
Twilight right away!
324
00:15:50,782 --> 00:15:52,718
She'll want to know about this.
325
00:15:52,751 --> 00:15:55,354
Correction: she NEEDS
to know about this.
326
00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:57,389
I bet she'll want to
write a whole book
327
00:15:57,422 --> 00:16:00,425
about the very first Griffon to
get a cutie mark of her own!
328
00:16:00,458 --> 00:16:05,230
Oh, totally. Um, but you
know Rainbow Dash asked me
329
00:16:05,263 --> 00:16:07,232
to pick up her answer
to Gilda's letter.
330
00:16:07,265 --> 00:16:09,334
I better take care of
that before I forget.
331
00:16:09,367 --> 00:16:12,170
Here's an idea: uh,
you head to the castle,
332
00:16:12,203 --> 00:16:18,210
I'll meet you there, cutie
mark and all. Um.... toodles!
333
00:16:18,243 --> 00:16:20,012
Wow, can you believe it?
334
00:16:20,045 --> 00:16:22,347
We were able to help her
get her mark after all!
335
00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:24,483
Come on, Crusaders;
let's tell Twilight!
336
00:16:27,218 --> 00:16:29,588
Gabby? You just missed her!
She was in such a hurry
337
00:16:29,621 --> 00:16:31,123
she didn't even come in.
338
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:34,126
Just dropped this
letter and zoomed away.
339
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:37,396
Dear Crusaders: I'll
never forget you!
340
00:16:37,429 --> 00:16:40,399
You really are every bit
as awesome as I heard.
341
00:16:40,432 --> 00:16:43,268
I'm heading home to
tell all the griffons
342
00:16:43,301 --> 00:16:44,803
how you did the impossible
343
00:16:44,836 --> 00:16:48,440
by getting me my
cutie mark. Toodles!
344
00:16:48,473 --> 00:16:50,142
[crash]
345
00:16:50,175 --> 00:16:53,211
Wait a second, CUTIE MARK?
346
00:16:53,244 --> 00:16:55,347
You actually got a
griffon a cutie mark
347
00:16:55,380 --> 00:16:57,549
for the first time
in recorded history?
348
00:16:57,582 --> 00:17:01,586
You know what this calls for?
A full-scale research project!
349
00:17:01,619 --> 00:17:03,221
This makes no sense.
350
00:17:03,254 --> 00:17:05,490
Gabby didn't come in
and show you her mark?
351
00:17:05,523 --> 00:17:07,759
You have GOT to get Gabby
back here right away.
352
00:17:07,792 --> 00:17:09,494
I have so many
questions!
353
00:17:09,527 --> 00:17:11,630
I hope I have
enough ink and parchment
354
00:17:11,663 --> 00:17:13,065
to document EVERYTHING!
355
00:17:13,098 --> 00:17:15,500
SPIKE! Guess what just happened!
356
00:17:15,533 --> 00:17:18,170
Weird. Gabby didn't
show Twilight her mark,
357
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:20,405
like she said she
was gonna do?
358
00:17:20,438 --> 00:17:23,508
Something in this here
applesauce smells kinda fishy.
359
00:17:23,541 --> 00:17:25,710
We better find her and
find out what's going on!
360
00:17:25,743 --> 00:17:27,179
Come on, Crusaders.
361
00:17:28,746 --> 00:17:30,315
Keep your eyes on
the skies, ponies.
362
00:17:30,348 --> 00:17:31,817
Gabby can't have gone far.
363
00:17:31,850 --> 00:17:34,252
She's not in the air,
she's right THERE!
364
00:17:34,285 --> 00:17:37,589
Gabby! Hold up, we're a-comin'!
365
00:17:37,622 --> 00:17:40,592
Um, sorry, no time to chat.
I just stopped to help
366
00:17:40,625 --> 00:17:43,495
this pony get out of the muck
and then I really gotta fly!
367
00:17:43,528 --> 00:17:46,098
OK, HEAVE-HOHHHH!
368
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,402
Gabby, we're your friends!
369
00:17:50,435 --> 00:17:53,338
Why in Equestria you
running away from us?
370
00:17:53,371 --> 00:17:56,374
Running away? Oh,
I'm not running away.
371
00:17:56,407 --> 00:18:00,412
I'm just, um, excited to
show my lovely new cutie mark
372
00:18:00,445 --> 00:18:02,814
to everyone in Griffonstone.
373
00:18:02,847 --> 00:18:06,518
You mean the cutie mark that's
runnin' right off your flank?
374
00:18:06,551 --> 00:18:08,720
Yup. That's the one.
375
00:18:08,753 --> 00:18:11,256
I guess the one thing I'm
really not that good at...
376
00:18:11,289 --> 00:18:13,358
is faking things.
377
00:18:13,391 --> 00:18:15,861
Wow, Gabby, painting
on a fake cutie mark
378
00:18:15,894 --> 00:18:20,198
to make yourself feel better?
You must have been REALLY upset.
379
00:18:20,231 --> 00:18:22,434
Sure, I was disappointed
380
00:18:22,467 --> 00:18:25,737
but I didn't do it to
make myself feel better.
381
00:18:25,770 --> 00:18:28,507
I wanted to make
you feel better!
382
00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:29,508
[gasp]
383
00:18:29,541 --> 00:18:32,177
I couldn't bear you three
thinking you failed
384
00:18:32,210 --> 00:18:34,479
after you tried so
hard to help.
385
00:18:34,512 --> 00:18:37,382
That's why I had to leave before
you or Twilight found out
386
00:18:37,415 --> 00:18:42,254
the truth. [sigh]. I'm sorry
I wasn't honest with you.
387
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:44,856
I'll just wing my way
back to Griffonstone.
388
00:18:44,889 --> 00:18:46,691
Thanks for trying.
389
00:18:46,724 --> 00:18:48,927
You don't need to
apologize for caring about
390
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,163
how other ponies are feelin'!
391
00:18:51,196 --> 00:18:53,365
I'm just sorry we couldn't
come through for you.
392
00:18:53,398 --> 00:18:56,735
Hmmm... maybe we can.
393
00:18:56,768 --> 00:18:59,605
Gabby, clean up and meet us
at the Crusaders clubhouse!
394
00:19:03,341 --> 00:19:06,444
I know you all tried
your very best,
395
00:19:06,477 --> 00:19:09,681
but I guess griffons and
cutie marks just don't mix.
396
00:19:09,714 --> 00:19:13,418
Maybe I don't even
have a special purpose.
397
00:19:13,451 --> 00:19:16,254
Hang on a second! We
were wracking our brains
398
00:19:16,287 --> 00:19:19,291
trying to figure out your
destiny until we remembered
399
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:21,526
how every time you
did something new,
400
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:24,329
you tried to help
everypony around you.
401
00:19:24,362 --> 00:19:26,298
Even us! How did it feel
402
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:28,433
when you showed up
with that fake mark
403
00:19:28,466 --> 00:19:31,369
and the three of us thought
we'd actually helped you?
404
00:19:31,402 --> 00:19:35,373
Well...I was really glad
I helped you feel happier!
405
00:19:35,406 --> 00:19:38,343
So maybe helping is
your thing.
406
00:19:38,376 --> 00:19:41,413
You might even say
it's your purpose.
407
00:19:41,446 --> 00:19:45,450
But helping just feels good.It
couldn't have anything to do
408
00:19:45,483 --> 00:19:48,787
with what I'm supposed to
do with my life, right?
409
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:51,823
Gabby, finding your special
purpose doesn't have to be
410
00:19:51,856 --> 00:19:54,259
about being good at something,
411
00:19:54,292 --> 00:19:57,529
it's about feeling good
about something inside.
412
00:19:57,562 --> 00:20:00,765
And it looks like your destiny
is a whole lot like ours:
413
00:20:00,798 --> 00:20:02,467
helping others.
414
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:05,337
And you don't need a symbol
on your flank to know that!
415
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:08,340
But since we ARE the
Cutie Mark Crusaders,
416
00:20:08,373 --> 00:20:12,344
we made you one
anyway! Behold!
417
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:14,779
Your very own cutie mark!
418
00:20:14,812 --> 00:20:16,615
TA DA!
419
00:20:16,648 --> 00:20:19,017
We carved it to mark the
moment we all figured out
420
00:20:19,050 --> 00:20:20,719
what you should
do with your life!
421
00:20:20,752 --> 00:20:25,824
But they look just like
yours? You can't mean...
422
00:20:25,857 --> 00:20:31,463
You bet we do! You're one of us
now! Gabby, today we dub thee...
423
00:20:31,496 --> 00:20:35,500
the very first Griffon member
of the Cutie Mark Crusaders!
424
00:20:35,533 --> 00:20:37,769
WOOHOO!
425
00:20:37,802 --> 00:20:40,739
You may not be able
to get a cutie mark...
426
00:20:40,772 --> 00:20:42,407
...but you're selflessly
dedicatin' your life
427
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,309
to helpin' others anyhow!
428
00:20:44,342 --> 00:20:48,580
I can't think of anything
more Crusadery than that!
429
00:20:48,613 --> 00:20:53,518
AWESOME! My very own cutecinera!
430
00:20:53,551 --> 00:20:56,655
Landsakes, you sure
have earned it!
431
00:20:56,688 --> 00:21:00,492
And so have we. Scootaloo,
you're pretty amazing.
432
00:21:00,525 --> 00:21:01,726
Even though things
looked bleak,
433
00:21:01,759 --> 00:21:04,396
you still found a way to
help Gabby in the end.
434
00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:06,798
'Course! Helping's
what we do, right?
435
00:21:06,831 --> 00:21:11,469
Ooooo, I am SOOOOO grateful!
436
00:21:11,502 --> 00:21:13,738
I'm gonna go home and
do my very very best
437
00:21:13,771 --> 00:21:17,309
to bring Cutie Mark Crusader
values to Griffonstone,
438
00:21:17,342 --> 00:21:19,077
I promise!
439
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:21,713
Promise us one other thing, too?
440
00:21:21,746 --> 00:21:23,581
COME BACK SOON!
441
00:21:23,614 --> 00:21:27,819
After all, you're a Crusader
now. Crusaders forever?
442
00:21:27,852 --> 00:21:30,856
Crusaders forever!
