00:02:29,615 --> 00:02:32,885
I just find it all
a little silly.

60
00:02:32,918 --> 00:02:36,923
It's mostly a day dedicated to
presents and candy, isn't it?

61
00:02:36,956 --> 00:02:39,292
And why would you deny
yourself presents and candy?

62
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:40,826
That's crazy talk!

63
00:02:40,859 --> 00:02:43,729
I THINK what Spike
means to say is,

64
00:02:43,762 --> 00:02:46,866
Hearth's Warming is about
more than presents and candy.

65
00:02:46,899 --> 00:02:49,202
It's a time to spend
with friends and family

66
00:02:49,235 --> 00:02:50,836
when we celebrate a
very important day

67
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:52,705
in Equestria's history.

68
00:02:52,738 --> 00:02:55,374
I think to most ponies,
it's just an excuse

69
00:02:55,407 --> 00:02:57,376
for silly songs and fun,

70
00:02:57,409 --> 00:02:59,412
not a day to remember
some old story.

71
00:03:01,914 --> 00:03:03,716
Maybe you just haven't
heard the right

72
00:03:03,749 --> 00:03:05,651
Hearth's Warming
Eve story yet.

73
00:03:05,684 --> 00:03:07,954
Earth ponies, pegasi
and unicorns sing songs

74
00:03:07,987 --> 00:03:10,389
around a hearth to fight
back an eternal winter

75
00:03:10,422 --> 00:03:12,358
caused by the
mythical Windigos?

76
00:03:12,391 --> 00:03:15,228
[laugh] Every foal and
filly knows that story.

77
00:03:15,261 --> 00:03:17,964
Not THAT one. My
favorite holiday story.

78
00:03:17,997 --> 00:03:19,799
A Hearth's Warming Tale.

79
00:03:19,832 --> 00:03:21,234
Oooooo! I love that one!

80
00:03:24,637 --> 00:03:28,507
This is the story of a powerful
unicorn named Snowfall Frost

81
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:30,676
who hated Hearth's
Warming Eve!

82
00:03:30,709 --> 00:03:34,413
It all began many moons
ago in Canterlot...

83
00:03:34,446 --> 00:03:38,017
Every home in Canterlot was
filled with Holiday spirit.

84
00:03:38,050 --> 00:03:41,254
Every home except one.

85
00:03:41,287 --> 00:03:43,489
It was said of Snowfall that
she was almost as studied

86
00:03:43,522 --> 00:03:45,691
as Starswirl the Bearded.

87
00:03:45,724 --> 00:03:49,362
Almost, since everypony knows
that Starswirl was an expert

88
00:03:49,395 --> 00:03:51,397
at everything from
transfiguration,

89
00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:53,899
Dimensional Calibration,
Teleportation--

90
00:03:53,932 --> 00:03:56,369
Spike: We get it.
Starswirl's awesome.

91
00:03:56,402 --> 00:04:00,640
Right. The point is, Snowfall
was also a powerful unicorn.

92
00:04:00,673 --> 00:04:02,575
She wanted to be perfect.

93
00:04:02,608 --> 00:04:05,444
Anything that got in the way
of that was a waste of time.

94
00:04:05,477 --> 00:04:06,545
Ugh!

95
00:04:06,578 --> 00:04:09,782
[clanging bells]

96
00:04:09,815 --> 00:04:13,286
Well, that batch is
ruined. SNOWDASH!

97
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:15,888
Snowdash was Snowfall's
loyal assistant.

98
00:04:15,921 --> 00:04:16,856
What do you need?

99
00:04:16,889 --> 00:04:18,658
Get this mess cleaned up.

100
00:04:18,691 --> 00:04:20,993
Those foolish ponies were
ringing those blasted bells

101
00:04:21,026 --> 00:04:23,929
outside the window and
I lost my concentration.

102
00:04:23,962 --> 00:04:25,865
Whoa. Ponies
actually enjoying

103
00:04:25,898 --> 00:04:28,968
Hearth's Warming Eve. Where
did they get that crazy idea?

104
00:04:29,001 --> 00:04:30,936
Today is nothing
to celebrate.

105
00:04:30,969 --> 00:04:33,406
Hearth's Warming
Eve is a menace,

106
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,641
a dangerous day for
all of Equestria.

107
00:04:35,674 --> 00:04:38,344
Dangerous? It's awesome!

108
00:04:38,377 --> 00:04:40,713
It's the day we remember
how unicorns, pegasi,

109
00:04:40,746 --> 00:04:42,782
and earth ponies came
together in friendship

110
00:04:42,815 --> 00:04:44,817
to defeat the Windigos!

111
00:04:44,850 --> 00:04:47,353
That silly legend
is the problem!

112
00:04:47,386 --> 00:04:50,489
Telling everypony that
singing songs and being nice

113
00:04:50,522 --> 00:04:53,859
will solve anything? I've
spent years studying magic

114
00:04:53,892 --> 00:04:56,429
and that's not how it works.

115
00:04:56,462 --> 00:04:58,831
I think you might be
missing the point.

116
00:04:58,864 --> 00:05:03,002
Work hard, learn and use your
skills to better Equestria.

117
00:05:03,035 --> 00:05:06,405
THAT'S a worthy
goal for anypony.

118
00:05:06,438 --> 00:05:09,408
But by all means, if you
want to go home early,

119
00:05:09,441 --> 00:05:11,744
ignore all of the work you
have and spend the rest --

120
00:05:11,777 --> 00:05:12,645
SWEET!

121
00:05:13,746 --> 00:05:15,014
Ugh.

122
00:05:15,047 --> 00:05:17,650

Snowfall doesn't like
Hearth's Warming Eve

171

so she decides to cast a spell
to get rid of it all together?

00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:04,617
I THINK what Spike is trying
to say is that everypony

176
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:08,053
has their reasons for doing
things. Even Snowfall.

177
00:08:08,086 --> 00:08:10,089
And if I could
continue the story,

178
00:08:10,122 --> 00:08:12,191
we might just find
out what they are.

179
00:08:12,224 --> 00:08:14,126
Proceed.

180
00:08:14,159 --> 00:08:17,096
Snowfall was all set to cast
her spell that would erase

181
00:08:17,129 --> 00:08:19,665
Hearth's Warming
Eve for all time

182
00:08:19,698 --> 00:08:22,034
when a voice from the hearth
caught her attention.

183
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,303
You SURE you wanna
go through with this?

184
00:08:24,336 --> 00:08:25,805
[gasp] Who's there!

185
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:30,743
The Spirit of Hearth's
Warmin' Past, that's who.

186
00:08:32,945 --> 00:08:35,614
And you and me have got
to have us a little chat.

187
00:08:35,647 --> 00:08:40,219
A spirit! I didn't cast any
spirit-summoning spell.

188
00:08:40,252 --> 00:08:42,054
What are you doing here?

189
00:08:42,087 --> 00:08:44,256
You don't think a spell
like that would get by

190
00:08:44,289 --> 00:08:46,325
without some powerful
forces noticing?

191
00:08:46,358 --> 00:08:49,061
You've got our attention,
Snowfall Frost

192
00:08:49,094 --> 00:08:51,096
and we've got some
pretty strong opinions

193
00:08:51,129 --> 00:08:52,598
on this spell of yours.

194
00:08:52,631 --> 00:08:54,066
We?

195
00:08:54,099 --> 00:08:57,036
They'll be along in a bit.
For now it's just you and me.

196
00:08:57,069 --> 00:08:59,305
Let's get a move on.
We got a ton to see

197
00:08:59,338 --> 00:09:00,973
and barely any time
to see it.

198
00:09:01,006 --> 00:09:03,242
[laugh] I'm not
going anywhere.

199
00:09:03,275 --> 00:09:06,312
I've got a spell to cast. And
I don't need a history lesson

200
00:09:06,345 --> 00:09:08,614
about Hearth's Warming Eve.

201
00:09:08,647 --> 00:09:11,850
We aren't goin' to the past
to learn about the holiday.

202
00:09:11,883 --> 00:09:14,053
We're goin' to
learn about you.

203
00:09:16,321 --> 00:09:19,291

you are doing, Snowfall?

225
00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:33,365
Decorating the classroom
for Hearth's Warming Eve,

226
00:10:33,398 --> 00:10:35,434
Professor Flintheart!

227
00:10:35,467 --> 00:10:38,671
You said you wanted to learn
to be a powerful unicorn,

228
00:10:38,704 --> 00:10:41,073
did you not?

229
00:10:38,704 --> 00:10:41,073
I do!

230
00:10:41,106 --> 00:10:44,977
And what is the way that one
becomes a powerful unicorn?

231
00:10:45,010 --> 00:10:48,047
[ahem] Work hard, learn
and use your skills

232
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,415
to better Equestria.

233
00:10:52,284 --> 00:10:55,988
And how do these help
you to learn magic?

234
00:10:56,021 --> 00:10:59,291
I want to be strong enough to
stop Windigos and help ponies!

235
00:10:59,324 --> 00:11:02,828
That's just a story
we tell little ponies.

236
00:11:02,861 --> 00:11:04,997
Real magic takes
time to learn.

[shatter]

238
00:11:09,167 --> 00:11:10,736
It's your choice.

239
00:11:10,769 --> 00:11:13,772
Spend your time learning to
become a powerful unicorn,

240
00:11:13,805 --> 00:11:17,810

make nothing of yourself.

[gasp] Spirit? What
am I supposed to--

255
00:12:24,209 --> 00:12:27,012
SNOWFALL FROST! IT IS I,

256
00:12:27,045 --> 00:12:31,150
THE SPIRIT OF HEARTH'S
WARMING PRESENTS!

257
00:12:31,183 --> 00:12:34,086
Um, don't you mean
present, like, the time?

258
00:12:34,119 --> 00:12:37,890
No. Toys, Hearth's Warming
dolls. Here! Want a cupcake?

259
00:12:37,923 --> 00:12:41,260
Fine. Presents. All of
the pointless things

260
00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:43,428
that ponies waste
their time on.

261
00:12:43,461 --> 00:12:46,365
Oh Snowfall. It's not what
the gift is that matters,

262
00:12:46,398 --> 00:12:48,867
it's what the gift MEANS!

263
00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:51,837
It doesn't mean anything.
It's just stuff.

264
00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:54,540
Exactly! Sometimes a
cupcake means I love you!

265
00:12:54,573 --> 00:12:56,875
Or a toy means Hi!
How ya doin?

266
00:12:56,908 --> 00:12:59,878
And sometimes a book means,
"Your mane looks AMAZING!"

267
00:12:59,911 --> 00:13:01,513
And sometimes a scarf means...

268
00:13:01,546 --> 00:13:03,916
well, a scarf usually
means you look cold.

269
00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:05,884
That one's easy.

270
00:13:05,917 --> 00:13:08,053
I don't understand
anything you're saying.

271
00:13:08,086 --> 00:13:10,956

[laugh]

312
00:15:13,578 --> 00:15:16,982
So [sigh] what happens next?

313
00:15:17,015 --> 00:15:18,417
Well, the party was--

314
00:15:18,450 --> 00:15:20,319
WAIT! Can we take
a quick break?

315
00:15:20,352 --> 00:15:22,321

OK. I'm ready.

319
00:15:34,699 --> 00:15:37,102
The party was in full swing.

320
00:15:37,135 --> 00:15:38,303
Snowdash!

321
00:15:38,336 --> 00:15:40,072
Hey, Merry.

322
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:42,274
Why, whatever is
the matter, darling?

323
00:15:42,307 --> 00:15:44,009
Was it the eggnog?

324
00:15:44,042 --> 00:15:46,478
[sigh] I knew I put
in too much cinnamon.

325
00:15:46,511 --> 00:15:49,414
Oh, no! The eggnog was
awesome, Flutterholly.

326
00:15:49,447 --> 00:15:51,483
I'm just mad at somepony
who was complaining

327
00:15:51,516 --> 00:15:54,219
about how awful
Hearth's Warming Eve is.

328
00:15:54,252 --> 00:15:58,023
I don't suppose that pony's
name starts with "Snow"?

329
00:15:58,056 --> 00:16:00,258
And ends with "frost"?

330
00:16:00,291 --> 00:16:03,495
She said Hearth's Warming Eve
is just an excuse to party

331
00:16:03,528 --> 00:16:05,731
and we'd all be better
off spending time working

332
00:16:05,764 --> 00:16:08,033
to make Equestria
a better place.

333
00:16:08,066 --> 00:16:11,336
Boo!

334
00:16:11,369 --> 00:16:14,373
What does Snowfall think a
better Equestria looks like?

335
00:16:14,406 --> 00:16:16,141
Ponies working hard.

336
00:16:16,174 --> 00:16:17,576
Learning.

337
00:16:17,609 --> 00:16:20,212
And using their abilities for
the benefit of Equestria.

338
00:16:20,245 --> 00:16:21,313
[giggle]

339
00:16:23,081 --> 00:16:26,385
Yeah! [laugh] [cheers]

340
00:16:26,418 --> 00:16:29,121
It looks like we've got
everything on Snowfall's list

341
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:30,622
right here.

342
00:16:30,655 --> 00:16:33,058
I think a perfect
Equestria looks a lot like

343
00:16:33,091 --> 00:16:34,693
a Hearth's Warming Eve party.

344
00:16:37,662 --> 00:16:42,401
Me too. Too bad it's going
to be the last one EVER!

345
00:16:42,434 --> 00:16:46,538
Ever...ever...ever.

346
00:16:46,571 --> 00:16:50,042
Spirit? What do you mean?
What's going to happen?

347
00:16:50,075 --> 00:16:57,082
[whistling wind]

348
00:16:58,149 --> 00:16:59,785
Who are you?

349
00:16:59,818 --> 00:17:03,588
I am the Spirit of Hearth's
Warming Yet to Come.

350
00:17:03,621 --> 00:17:05,390
Are you here to show me

351
00:17:05,423 --> 00:17:07,459
what future Hearth's
Warming Eves are like?

352
00:17:07,492 --> 00:17:10,695
No. For there are no more
Hearth's Warming Eves

353
00:17:10,728 --> 00:17:12,330
for me to show.

354
00:17:12,363 --> 00:17:13,765
Why not?

355
00:17:13,798 --> 00:17:18,203
You will succeed in erasing
the holiday as you wished.

356
00:17:18,236 --> 00:17:20,305
And what happens?

357
00:17:20,338 --> 00:17:26,845
<i> ♪ I see a cold wind
 blowing through ♪</i>

358
00:17:26,878 --> 00:17:33,251
<i> ♪ I see days neither
 fun nor free ♪</i>

359
00:17:33,284 --> 00:17:40,158
<i> ♪ I see a future
 caused by you ♪</i>

360
00:17:40,191 --> 00:17:46,231
<i> ♪ I see a path not
 meant to be ♪</i>

361
00:17:46,264 --> 00:17:52,204
<i> ♪ The future should
 be filled with magic ♪</i>

362
00:17:52,237 --> 00:17:59,111
<i> ♪ dreams and wishes
 brought to life ♪</i>

363
00:17:59,144 --> 00:18:05,650
<i> ♪ But the days ahead
 are dark and tragic ♪</i>

364
00:18:05,683 --> 00:18:12,657
<i> ♪ no time for hope
 when all is strife ♪</i>

365
00:18:12,690 --> 00:18:15,760
<i> ♪ Whatever might have been ♪</i>

366
00:18:15,793 --> 00:18:19,498
<i> ♪ all the dreams
 that ponies share ♪</i>

367
00:18:19,531 --> 00:18:22,501
<i> ♪ Because of you,
 Snowfall Frost ♪</i>

368
00:18:22,534 --> 00:18:26,571
<i> ♪ Now the future is
 a cold nightmare ♪</i>

369
00:18:26,604 --> 00:18:28,640
WINDIGOS!? They
aren't real.

370
00:18:28,673 --> 00:18:30,475
It's just a little
filly's story!

371
00:18:30,508 --> 00:18:32,777
They are all too
real, Snowfall.

372
00:18:32,810 --> 00:18:35,814
And your actions will
allow them to return.

373
00:18:35,847 --> 00:18:38,650
The future of Equestria
shall be bathed in a blanket

374
00:18:38,683 --> 00:18:40,652
of eternal snow.

375
00:18:40,685 --> 00:18:44,656
No! I never meant for this to
happen. I didn't understand!

376
00:18:44,689 --> 00:18:47,659
I didn't see how important
Hearth's Warming Eve was!

377
00:18:47,692 --> 00:18:50,695
Please, spirit! I haven't
cast the spell yet!

378
00:18:50,728 --> 00:18:53,132
Is there still time?
I'm sorry!

379
00:19:04,642 --> 00:19:05,878
There's still time!

380
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,515
Oh my.

381
00:19:10,548 --> 00:19:12,651
Snowfall Frost?

382
00:19:12,684 --> 00:19:14,719
I was hoping I wasn't
too late for the party.

383
00:19:14,752 --> 00:19:16,821
I brought gifts.

384
00:19:16,854 --> 00:19:19,524
[spits] Boss?

385
00:19:19,557 --> 00:19:22,527
I was wrong earlier. About
Hearth's Warming Eve.

386
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,263
It's not all about
singing and presents.

387
00:19:25,296 --> 00:19:27,566
The singing and presents
are all about celebrating

388
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:29,601
the ponies in our lives.

389
00:19:29,634 --> 00:19:33,338
The ponies we should listen
to more often. Our friends.

390
00:19:36,274 --> 00:19:37,342
Wow.

391
00:19:38,843 --> 00:19:43,281
Dragon toenail? Uh...thanks?

392
00:19:43,314 --> 00:19:46,585
I was in a hurry. I'll
do better next time.

393
00:19:46,618 --> 00:19:48,220
[laugh] You kidding?

394
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:50,689
No one's ever given me
dragon toenail before!

395
00:19:50,722 --> 00:19:53,758
It's awesome! Now
come get some eggnog!

396
00:19:53,791 --> 00:19:55,927
<i> And from then on it
 was always said of all</i>

397
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,863
<i> the Hearth's Warming
 Eve celebrations,</i>

398
00:19:58,896 --> 00:20:00,265
<i> Snowfall's was the
 Hearth's Warmingest.</i>

399
00:20:01,666 --> 00:20:03,735
The end.

400
00:20:03,768 --> 00:20:07,405
Well, that's it. Thanks for
letting me read you the story.

401
00:20:07,438 --> 00:20:09,941
Guess you can call
it a night.

402
00:20:09,974 --> 00:20:12,344
Spike and I are
heading downstairs.

403
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:14,646
And if you wanted to, you'd
be welcome to join us.

404
00:20:18,683 --> 00:20:23,555
[giggling]

405
00:20:23,588 --> 00:20:26,992
Welcome to the party. Happy
Hearth's Warming Starlight.

406
00:20:27,025 --> 00:20:29,761

Warming, Twilight.
