Fluttershy discovers a parasprite[]
Fluttershy with a basket full of beautiful flowers.
Fluttershy is picking flowers for Princess Celestia's visit.
Trotting along, all oblivious and care-free.
Fluttershy with a flower in her mouth.
Fluttershy, look what I found.
A squirrel proudly presents a dandelion, but..
...a gust of wind blows away most of it.
Huh.
The squirrel hides the bare stem.
Fluttershy, minding her own business.
Whoa!
A rather disturbing frame.
Fluttershy taking cover behind a rock.
A parasprite looking cute.
Fluttershy greets the parasprite.
"Oh, are you hungry?"
She crushes the apple for it.
Instead, the parasprite goes for the bucket.
What was that?
It devoured all the apples in the bucket!
"I guess you were hungry."
She finds it the cutest thing ever.
Snuggling into Fluttershy's mane.
"You're the cutest thing ever. I can't wait to show you to my friends."
An empty basket, that was once full of apples.
Preparing for Celestia's visit[]
Why is Princess Celestia coming today?
Spike! Everything's gotta be just perfect for Celestia.
What a mess of books.
Well, then!
Twilight looking around the park.
Ponies, working hard.
How can we rally under this banner?
Ta Da Da-DAaaa!
"What happened to the rest of her name?"
"We couldn't fit it all in."
"You can't hang a banner that says 'Welcome Princess Celest'. Take it down and try again."
Hey! We tried!
"That looks perfect!"
The cakes are working hard, as well.
The Cakes, busy as ever, preparing the food.
Twilight checking on the progress.
Pinkie Pie, Ruler of Equestria...or post-cake consumption.
Hee hee, oops!
Ahem!
"...and I, Pinkie Pie, declare that these treats are fit for a king, or a queen, or a princess!"
Must... have... cake!
Hey, girls!
Sliding in.
When Twilight is looking away, Pinkie takes the opportunity to devour the cake whole.
When it comes to eating cake, the Parasprites ain't got nothin' on Pinkie.
My goodness.
Well, you see?
"They're amazing!"
Blushing.
"Besides, it'll be nice to have a companion for Spike so he won't bother me so much while I'm studying."
"UGH! A parasprite? Are you kidding?"
Please, you've gotta be joking.
"Now I gotta go find a trombone!"
Mimicking a trombone.
"Stand still, Rainbow Dash."
Dash is impatient
Rainbow Dash always dresses in style.
"Thank you, Twilight. Nice to know someone appreciates my talents."
"So boring!"
"What's that sound, Twilight?"
Two more parasprites appear.
"Uh, I'll take one!"
Oh no, this does not seem good.
The parasprites seem great...
"What's there to worry about?"
The perfect swarm[]
Twilight's eyes fly open.
AH! (You had to jinx it, didn't you Twilight?)
This is the story where a swarm of Parasprites invade Ponyville!
Spike! You awake?
What's on my face?
resistance is futile
Spike points to the Parasprites.
The parasprites destroying the library.
Twilight dusts away some parasprites.
A basket o' parasprites!
They're destroying the library!
A peaceful morning at Dash's cloud house.
Or is it?
Definitely not.
Oh no...
Get off of me!
Leave me alone!
No, I don't want a crown!
Rainbow Dash's parasprite bikini.
A parasprite beard.
You're a much better helper than Opal.
"Not only are you adorable, but you're also quite useful."
Is something wr-
Blech!
Eew! Spit-Babies!
Gross!
Leave my shop this instant!..
They're destroying the boutique!
...Oh my!
Question: Why are cartoon mouth organs always drawn with the holes on the wrong side?
Pinkie Pie acquired a harmonica from Applejack.
Rarity, walking past Pinkie...
..Seriously? I don't have time for this!
That´s actually quite stylish.
Umm... wat.
Run Rarity, run!
"Hey, Fluttershy. Have you..."
"Oh my!"
Twilight is a hologram.
This is a super-duper bigger problem!
This is what a complete chaos is like.
"I've tried everything I know..."
Twilight is already assuming the worst.
Celestia arriving in Ponyville.
Ah, the princess!
Twilight, you really think this would happen?
"If we can't get them in control before the princess arrives...!"
"...it will be a complete disaster!"
Umm...Twilight...
...it already is.
Here are some delicious Sweet Apple Acres' apples.
My apples!
"What will we do?"
"Nopony can herd like Applejack!"
"You'll help, right?"
Go, stand over there..
You two, go fly up there.
Rainbow Dash is up for the task.
"Yee-haw!"
The ponies will save the day!
Stop those parasprites![]
Applejack rounding up some parasprites.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy gather parasprites.
Shocked parasprites.
Twilight gallops into action!
Applejack and Fluttershy observe the ball of parasprites.
Determined Applejack.
More determined Applejack.
Maracas!
"Maracas?"
Pinkie urgently runs backwards.
Pinkie runs off, and the rest of the ponies continue to the forest.
The parasprite ball rolls safely into the forest.
"Alright!"
That must have hurt.
"Ouch."
Fluttershy about to open her door.
Opening it...
End of the world.
"Where did they come from?"
I may have kept just one...
..I couldn't help it..
Fluttershy no baka!
...Sorry?
...How could I resist such cuteness?
Oh no.
"What do we do now?"
"We call in the weather patrol!"
Scanning the situation.
"Time to take out the adorable trash!"
Just like King Kong.
RD to the rescue!
Rainbow creating a tornado.
Hold on!
"Looks like our problems are solved."
"they will be with these cymbals!"
"Hey, give me those back!"
Rainbow Dash barely avoids Pinkie Pie's cymbals.
That hurt.
Oh, dear.
Looks like our problems aren't solved.
"Pinkie Pie, what have you done?"
"I lost a brand new pair of cymbals, that's what it is!"
"You´re ruining our efforts to save Ponyville!"
"Me?"
But, girls!
The others know that Pinkie had enough today.
She will not help,
she will not be with them,
and they leave her.
The parasprite infestation[]
The parasprites head to Ponyville.
...These things are fascinating.
Ooh...
Everything...
...Aw, poor Lyra!
..including this...
...and Sugarcube Corner..
has been...invaded!
No time for smiling, Twilight.
Twilight's nervous smile.
Heh. Hey, it worked. They're not eating the food anymore.
Run to your house Rarity
My shop!
Get out of here now!
Now the boutique is really ruined.
Aaaaa!
Pinkie to the rescue!
AAAAAAAAA!
Apple family defending their farm.
Frighten them with weapons!
Now the farm's really ruined.
"Didn't see that comin'."
Now the library's really ruined.
"...Help?"
Twilight, whose house has been overrun by parasprites, runs to Zecora's house in the Everfree Forest.
Zecora is meditating when...
A sudden visitor.
"Have you gone mad?"
Twilight explains their predicament to wise Zecora.
Oh my, what is this creature?
..These things can multiply like a mosquito.
"Is that a parasprite before my eyes?"
"I don't know!"
"Is it?"
"Tales of crops and harvests consumed..."
"If these creatures are in Ponyville... you're doomed."
From bad to worse. Oh dear.
Ponyville doesn't look so good.
Twilight freaking out.
Who can save the day? Rainbow?
Definitely not, Rainbow's screaming in terror, with parasprites at her tail.
"Good. Everyone else, we need to build an exact copy of Ponyville right over there." (Hey, it worked in Blazing Saddles!)
"We've got less than a minute!"
O...kay.
"Zecora was right. We're doomed."
Wait. What's that sound?
Pied Piper Pinkie[]
If Rainbow Dash can't help, who can?
Pinkie Pie saves the day with her musical instruments.
Pinkie leading them away with music, seem similar to SpongeBob?
Pinkie walks right past an astonished Twilight.
"We're in the middle of a crisis here, Pinkie! This is no time for your..."
"...nonsense?"
The Pinkie Pied Piper of Polka Parasprites.
Dat Rarity face. Go forward a few frames for another great one.
Look at all those... interesting... faces.
What was that?
These creatures are adorable!
Not that adorable.
"I'm terribly honored that you and the good citizens of Ponyville have organized a parade in honor of my visit."
"Parade?"
"Oh! Yes! The parade!"
"Unfortunately, that visit is going to have to wait for another time."
"I'm afraid an emergency has come up in Fillydelphia."
"Apparently there's been some sort of infestation."
"An infestation?"
Good cover.
Twilight's happy.
Twilight has learned a lesson about friendship after all.
Did my music drive Princess Celestia away?
One of the rare moments where Fluttershy is flying and Rainbow Dash is on the ground.
We think you all owe Pinkie an apology.
"You're a great friend, even if we don't always understand you."
"Thanks, guys. You're all great friends too, even when don't understand me."
And that's the story about a swarm of parasprites that destroy Ponyville.
But Ponyville is the Capital of Chaos.
It's going to be a long night.
Womp... womp... womp... woooooooooomp....
