The Evil Enchantress[]
Twilight is shocked to see nopony out and about on such a beautiful day.
Deserted Ponyville; there is no one to be seen
An eerie ghost town scene.
Berryshine closes the door.
"Is it some sort of pony holiday?"
"not that I know of"
"Is it my breath?" *burps*
Twilight talking to Spike.
Is it...zombies?!
Nah, you gotta wait until season 6 for that, Spike
Curious about the eerie silence.
"Twilight!" *whisper*
"Spike!" *whisper*
"C'mere!" *whisper*
"Come here!" *whisper*
"Hurry!" *whisper*
"Before she gets you!"
Turning on a flashlight briefly opens a portal to a dimension where everything is orange.
A terrified Spike, a face-hoofing Twilight.
Evidently, Pinkie Pie fears zombie ponies just as much as Spike does.
Spike freaks out.
Spike is terrified of zombie ponies. Twilight is all choked up.
Twilight and Spike in the dark.
"I'm not alone in the dark!"
Rarity behind Twilight.
"Okay then, what are you all doing here in the dark?"
"Hidin'!"
"From her!"
Zecora's very first onscreen appearance.
What, exactly, is she digging for?
Twilight doesn't see what's so scary.
Who is that?
The debut of Zecora!
Twilight is not amused by her friends' irrational fear.
Who is Zecora?[]
"Did you see her Twilight?"
Zecora is She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle.
Applejack makes it sound like her younger sister is terrified of Zecora, but Apple Bloom insists she's not.
Derpy.
Ponybacking.
I can take care of myself
"She's mysterious."
"Sinister."
"And spoooooky!"
Twilight gets crowded by her friends and Apple Bloom.
A stripey pony!?
"She's a zebra."
"A what!?"
Born with... STRIPES!? Oooooohh...
"That's just it. She lives in..."
"...the Everfree Forest!" Why? Find out later.
"The Everfree Forest just ain't natural. The plants grow..."
"Animals care for themselves..."
"And the clouds move..."
"...all on their own!"
Twilight is unconvinced by her friends' dramatization of the Everfree Forest's spookiness.
"Why, she's so evil, I even wrote a song about her!"
No no Pinkie, the evil Zebra was in G1
She does evil dances!
And when you look into her eyes
She'll put you in trances!
And yet Pinkie Pie places her audience in that trance.
The zebra...she really is evil! Applejack is shivering, and Apple Bloom is not amused.
"Sooo, watch out!"
Wow. Catchy.
"It's a work in progress."
"Well, once a month, she comes into Ponyville."
"Ooooh..."
"Then, she lurks by the stores."
"Oh, my!"
"And then, she digs at the ground."
"Good gracious!"
"Okay, I'm sorry. But how is any of this bad? Maybe she comes to town to visit?"
I'll show them that I'm a big pony!
Pinkie sings her song (again) in the background.
We're off to see the shaman[]
Apple Bloom trying to hide while following Zecora.
Apple Bloom follows Zecora.
"I heard that Zecora eats hay."
"Pinkie, I eat hay. You eat hay!"
"Pinkie, I eat hay. You eat hay!"
"Yeah, but I heard it's the evil way she eats hay."
"Spike, you stay here in case Apple Bloom comes back."
"Will do!"
Strange blue flowers...
Applejack cries Apple Bloom's name, alerting Zecora.
"Beware! Beware, you pony folk! Those leaves of blue are not a joke!"
"You keep your creepy mumbo jumbo to yourself you hear?!"
Those leaves of blue ARE a joke!
"Beware...! Beware...!"
Apple Bloom is not amused (again), instead she is angry.
Twilight is not amused.
Applejack is not the slightest amused.
Rainbow Dash, don't do that. No really, it feels like you're touching my brain, it's not a fun feeling.
Twilight is highly confident she is right.
She has proof to back herself up.
Hey, where did everypony go?
Twilight can't sleep.
She has a nightmare in which her friends warn her about Zecora and Zecora cackles evilly.
Twilight tossing and turning.
Daybreak.
Good morning, Twilight.
"Wow, maybe Zecora cursed my hair."
"OR SHE CURSED MY HORN!!"
C-C-Cursed?![]
Don't worry. Everything's going to be just fine.
An allergy?
A curse!
"What if you're wrong, Twilight?"
"Phtha phurspt!"
"A purse?"
"Hey, say it, don't spray it Pinkie!"
*muffled* "Ow!"
Look out, Rainbow Crash attack.
Watch out for ICBRDs (InterContinental Ballistic Rainbow Dash).
No coordination at all.
That is one hairy Rarity.
Cousin Itt's cousin?
"I hate to say I told ya so, Twilight, but I told ya so!"
Miniaturized!
Why are you so surprised? I mean, it is called My Little Pony.
"It's a curse, I tells ya!"
Ooh my.
"There doesn't seem to be a thing wrong with Fluttershy."
Can you believe what has happened to me?
Hmm.
Well...
I can't say it.
I refuse to tell you.
Come on Fluttershy, spit it out!
Ooh alright!
There's nothing wrong with Fluttershy.
So is there something wrong with you?
"Good gravy, girl!"
"What's the matter with you?"
It's my voice okay!
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Hahahaha!"
"This is hilarious!"
"Look at all of you! We got..."
"Hairity..."
"...Rainbow Crash..."
...Spitty Pie...
"...Apple Teeny..."
"...Flutterguy, and --"
"...Uh..."
"I got nothin'... Twilight Sparkle. I mean seriously, I can't even work with that."
Spike at a loss for words.
Need some help, Dash?
"I think we'll find a cure to this curse at Zecora's place!"
"It's not a curse!"
"I agree with Dash! We'll go to Zecora's and force her to remove this hex!"
"It's not a hex either!"
The "cursed" ponies having an argument.
"This is all my fault. If I hadn't followed Zecora in the first place, none of this would have happened. I just gotta fix this."
Apple Bloom, going to make things right.
"Now where does she think she's goin' this time?"
Hitching a ride.
Or stepped on her?
We didn't step on her, did we?
Oh no!
We didn't sit on her, did we!?
Did we sit on her?
How am I supposed to fly now?
Maybe she's in Hairity's hair?
Let go, Pinkie.
"A little help here?"
You missed the door...
Well, aren't you coming, Spike?
"Nope. Uh... gotta stay here and look for a cure."
"Twilight Flopple!" Ooh, Spike, you little sneak! (giggle)
Into the forest[]
Apple Bloom, on the edge of the Everfree Forest.
Running into the forest.
I gotta make this right.
Wait..
A close up of Apple Bloom.
Turn around right this instant.
Meh!
"No!"
"You can't ignore a direct order from your big sister!"
Tiny Ponies, they should make toys like this!
Apple Teeny is really just a toy now.
It looks like Apple Bloom is now the elder sister of AJ.
"Sorry, Applejack."
"But I'm the big sister now."
"I'm gonna tell Big McIntosh on you!"
You didn't just...
...Leave me here all alone!
"Aw, pony feathers!"
How can Rarity see where she's going?
...I guess she can't.
Well, it's about time!
Hi-ho, Rainbow Dash, away!
YEE-HAW!
Who's to say I can't do anything big while I'm shrunk?
See this Rarity.
Worried what they might see.
Strange decorations.
Zecora walking into her hut.
Pouring something into the pot.
A suspicious brew bubbling.
Chanting words.
"Sthe sthowe thma thog!"
She stole your song? Pinkie, it doesn't sound anything like your song.
Pinkie Pie's version of the stare.
Fluttershy clearly not enjoying it.
Fluttershy singing Pinkie Pie's song for her.
And if you look deep in her eyes.
She'll put you in trances.
Then what will she do?
She'll mix up an evil brew.
And she'll gobble you up in a big tasty stew.
So...
Watch out!
Twilight realizes it might be a curse.
Or... maybe she's just making soup.
Tasting it.
Yumm.
"The perfect temperature for ponies, I presume. Now, where is that little Apple Bloom?"
Or maybe she's making Apple Bloom soup!
Saving Apple Bloom / Zecora Revealed[]
Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!
Ouch.
Now hold still!
Because this is really going to help!
Yow!
Rainbow Dash has done it this time.
My goodness!
"No! You know not what you do!"
What a waste of perfectly good... whatever that was.
"You made me sound ridiculous."
You made it so that I couldn't talk.
Hey!
"How dare you!"
"You destroy my home, destroy my work..."
"...then rudely accuse me of being a jerk?!"
"It is unwise to venture down this road."
"Your actions will make my anger explode!"
Twilight and Zecora butting heads.
"Apple Bloom! You're okay!"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
Don't you dare touch a single apple on her head.
Awkward smile.
Smiling nervously at Apple Bloom.
..Before breaking into laughter.
"This isn't a curse."
Zecora and Apple Bloom.
"That plant is much like poison oak. But its results are like a joke."
"What in the hay does that mean?"
"It means this plant does not breed wrath. Instead this plant just wants a laugh."
You see over there?
Apple Bloom here was just collecting stuff for me.
See this book here.
Twilight feels guilty.
Read this page.
Actually I do have this book...
..But I didn't bother to read it.
Zecora laughing.
Glad that she'll whip up another one.
Curing the Poison Joke[]
Mr. Greenhooves appears in this shot on the top pulling a cart of hay.
Daisy is terrified.
Why are they so scared?
...and horrified?
Wow, she freaks out fast
The Horror!
The Horror!!!
Rose runs away from Zecora.
Run ponies, run.
Daisy, we need to talk.
Pinkie flop.
Belly flop
All is right with the world.
Smiling like new found friends.
This is absolutely lovely.
The ponies search frantically for Applejack.
Guess who's the big sister again!
Why do I have to put up with this?
Pinkie more than glad to be able to talk again.
Fluttershy satisfied to be using her old voice again.
Pinkie Pie stares into your soul...
