Sunny Starscout: Thank you, everypony, for coming to the grand opening of Maretime Bay's new Community Garden of Magic!

[ponies cheer]

Izzy Moonbow: Yeah! Community garden! Whoo!

Sunny Starscout: This will be your place to grow fresh foods, foster friendships, and have fun in the fields! Take it away, Sheriff Hitch!

Hitch Trailblazer: Thanks, Sunny! I'm very excited to—

Izzy Moonbow: Aw, yeah! That's our friend! Nopony interrupt him when he talks!

Hitch Trailblazer: Oh. Uh, thanks Izzy. [clears throat] Welcome, everypony! As Sunny said, this garden is the best place in town to learn how to harness your Earth pony magic—

Sunny Starscout: Flora magic!

[beep]

Zipp Storm: Note to self – Earth pony powers are officially called "flora magic". Hmm. I like it!

Izzy Moonbow and Pipp Petals: Shhhh!

Izzy Moonbow: DON'T INTERRUPT HIM! Keep talking about what you were talking about!

Hitch Trailblazer: [sighs] Thanks, Izzy. So, yeah, that's what we've been calling it! You know, because of the unicorn float magic and the Pegasi flight magic, it's kind of a natural thing to name it. Flor— Hmm?

Kurtle: [chirping]

Hitch Trailblazer: You're right, Kurtle. I'm rambling. AS sheriff of Maretime Bay, it is my duty and great honor to hereby dedicate this garden to—

Diggy: Do we each get our own spot?

Hitch Trailblazer: Yes.

Sparky Sparkeroni: [burps]

Hitch Trailblazer: There are practice plots inside ready for you to start planting and growing—

[party popper]

[ponies gasp]

Hitch Trailblazer: Ah!

[snip!]

Diggy: It's open! I call best spot!

[ponies yelling]

Hitch Trailblazer: Slow down!

[animal sounds]

[rumbling]

Hitch Trailblazer: There's enough room for everypony!

Kurtle: [chirps]

Sunny Starscout: Whoa! [gasps]

Kurtle: [chirps, slurps]

Sunny Starscout: [giggles]

Hitch Trailblazer: Thank you, Kurtle. I am good at dedication speeches. Maybe too good!

[panicked squeaking]

(theme song)

[foals laughing]

[birds chirping]

Diggy: Dibs on this plot!

[bunnies squeaking]

Hitch Trailblazer: What was that? Don't worry, I'll fix this.

Sunny Starscout: What's going on?

Hitch Trailblazer: My speech might have made the Earth ponies too excited. They're kinda trampling everything.

[hooves trampling]

Sunny Starscout: What do we do?

Hitch Trailblazer: Watch your hooves, everypony!

Sunny Starscout: But also, don't worry! With a little bit of love, I'm sure we can fix it.

Diggy: Oh, yeah. [laughs] I guess we can.

[shimmering]

Ponies: Oh! Awesome! Neat! Sweet! Very cool! Amazing!

[bunnies squeaking]

[birds chirping]

Hitch Trailblazer: Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Careful there! We don't want another glimmerberry incident on our hooves. Or on our manes. [shudders]

Sunny Starscout: That's exactly why a designated spot to practice is perfect. And just look at all these amazing fruits! Like those! Uh, what are those?

Diggy: Pear-nana-melons!

Hitch Trailblazer: Okay, that actually sounds really tasty. Go ahead and get creative, everypony. But let's just be mindful of the...

[animals chittering]

Hitch Trailblazer: [sighs] ...wildlife.

Izzy Moonbow: Oh! I can't even belizzle my eyes! It's like a parade! But not on purpose.

Zipp Storm: "Belizzle"?

Izzy Moonbow: I said what I said! Just look at these animals going wild!

Pipp Petals: [gasps] Great idea, Iz! Cute animals are great for the feed.

[camera clicks]

[panicked squeaks]

Pipp Petals: I can't even. I don't have words.

Izzy Moonbow: Try "belizzle"! It works whenever you can or can't belizzle things.

Zipp Storm: Oh, no! They're stampeding towards the Brighthouse! Get out of the way, us!

[animals squeaking]

[smack!]

Pipp Petals: Ugh!

Izzy Moonbow: [grunts] I got it! Ah... Ah... [sneezes]

[thud]

Izzy Moonbow: Huh. Maybe I didn't "got it".

Pipp Petals: Well, I did!

Izzy Moonbow: [sneezing]

Pipp Petals: And... posted!

Zipp Storm: Greeeeat.

Hitch Trailblazer: Why are you all laying around?! I need backup with these critters!

Zipp Storm: Can't you just ask them to chill out? You literally speak animal.

Hitch Trailblazer: That doesn't mean they'll listen! So can you help?!

Pipp Petals: Sorry, what? I wasn't listening.

Hitch Trailblazer: See?!

Izzy Moonbow: Of course we'll be your deputies!

Hitch Trailblazer: Thanks! Because while you all handle that, I gotta get back to the garden! Sunny seemed stressed.

Sunny Starscout: [grunting]

Izzy Moonbow: Don't be stressed, Sunny! We're deputies now! We're going to help!

Cloudpuff: [pants, whimpers]

Hitch Trailblazer: Cloudpuff? What are you doing here?

Cloudpuff: [barks]

Hitch Trailblazer: Keeping an eye on Pipp and Zipp for Queen Haven, huh? Yeah, that does sound boring. Want to help me instead?

Cloudpuff: [barks]

[thunder]

Opaline: What is lacked in magical might, conjure from my Alicorn light! [grunting]

[whirring]

Opaline: Ugh!

Misty: Sooooo... do you need anything?

Opaline: I was doing fine until you ruined my concentration! You know that my power is... [clears throat] ...compromised.

Misty: No, I didn't.

Opaline: Good answer. But it doesn't change the fact that it's still not enough. Magic is back, Misty. It's back, and those silly little ponies have it! By accident!

Misty: Accident? We can try that, too!

Opaline: Stop! That silly unity magic is just the spark. Only I can possess the flame!

[bubbling]

Misty: Awww!

Opaline: Don't get attached, Misty. It's a sign of weakness.

Misty: Oh, I wasn't! I was just impressed by your magic!

Opaline: Of course you were. Nothing is more important than magic. And when my magic mouse sneaks into their magic house, I will finally know the secret of how they're harnessing the pris-beam power.

Misty: [sighs]

Hitch Trailblazer: Sunny, are you okay?

Sunny Starscout: Yeah, just serving up some smoothies. Are you okay?

Hitch Trailblazer: Yeah! Just taking care of the animals.

Sunny Starscout: Good, so we're both okay.

Hitch Trailblazer: [sighs] Too bad the dedication was a disaster. Did I ruin it?

Sunny Starscout: Not at all. But I actually think it gave everypony a chance to practice their magic while fixing the mess. Easy sugar snap peasy!

Hitch Trailblazer: "Easy sugar snap peasy"? Easy for you to say – you're not sheriff.

Sunny Starscout: What does that mean?

Hitch Trailblazer: [sighs] It was supposed to be my moment. I had big scissors. I'm in charge! I shouldn't be encouraging chaos and smoothies!

[camera clicks]

Unicorn: "Chaos and smoothies"? Now, there's a headline!

Windy: [slurping]

Sunny Starscout: What's wrong with smoothies?

Hitch Trailblazer: Nothing. But I have the hardest job of anypony, and what pony notices it?

Sunny Starscout: Well, have you noticed how hard I've been working? I've been making smoothies during this entire conversation.

Hitch Trailblazer: True. But come on, it's not like being sheriff.

Sunny Starscout: Yes, it is.

Sparky Sparkeroni: [giggling]

Hitch Trailblazer: Well, it's easier than maintaining order.

[mouse squeaking]

Cloudpuff: [barking]

Izzy Moonbow: [straining]

[bunny squeaks]

Izzy Moonbow: Hwah!

[thud]

Izzy Moonbow: [giggles] Okay, so they're coming right for us. But I have a plan! I think... we should stop them!

Pipp Petals: Smart, smart. What's the plan?

Izzy Moonbow: Oh, that's it! That's the plan!

Zipp Storm: Heads up, ponies!

Pipp Petals: [whimpers] Aah!

[thud]

Sparky Sparkeroni: [giggling]

Cloudpuff: [barking]

Hitch Trailblazer: I don't think you understand how much pressure I'm under all the time!

Sunny Starscout: Of course I do! Do you even know how hard it is to be the Alicorn in Maretime Bay?! Everypony's watching! I need to be a pony that others can count on!

Hitch Trailblazer: So do I!

Sunny Starscout: [groans]

Hitch Trailblazer: The sheriff is the backbone of a community, you know?!

Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer: You just don't understand what it's like to be me! And you never will!

Sparky Sparkeroni: [sneezes]

[poof!]

[shimmering]

Izzy Moonbow: There, now you're back outside.

Pipp Petals: Who's a cute bunny? You are! Yes, you are!

Izzy Moonbow and Pipp Petals: [laughing]

[mouse squeaking]

Cloudpuff: [barking]

Pipp Petals: Cloudpuff?! What are you doing here?! [scoffs] Mom sent you to check on me, didn't she? Aww! You're so cute!

[animals chittering]

Hitch Trailblazer: Everypony, be happy!

Zipp Storm: Hmm...

Hitch Trailblazer: Follow your feels. You do you.

Sunny Starscout: Hitch, you're not helping! I have a line, and nopony is asking for anything on the menu! We need order! And we need it now!

Hitch Trailblazer: Just do what you think is right, y'know? Go with your glow.

Sunny Starscout: Litter? Bup-bup-bup! Better pick up that cup!

Zipp Storm: They're acting weird. Very, very weird.

[phone beeps]

Zipp Storm: Hi, friends. What's up?

Sunny Starscout: Kinda busy, Zipp.

Hitch Trailblazer: Hey, Zipp! Want to help me show ponies around the maaaagical garden?

Zipp Storm: Why are you talking like that?

Sunny Starscout: I can understand that you want something, but I-I don't know exactly... [groans] Maybe pear-nana-melon?

[bird slurps, gags, coughs]

Zipp Storm: This doesn't make any sense. You two seem... How do I put this... off?

Sunny Starscout: Oh, yeah. Ever since Hitch started that argument, I've felt off.

Hitch Trailblazer: What?! No way! You started it!

Zipp Storm: Hmm. Huh. Hmm. [gasps] Sunny! Hitch! Stop! Now, don't freak out, but... your cutie marks are switched!

Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer: They are?! [gasps] They are!

Sunny Starscout: No, no, no! How did this happen?!

Zipp Storm: I dunno. But I'll get to the bottom... of it. [snickers] You say you started feeling funny when, exactly?

Sunny Starscout: When I was explaining to Hitch how running a smoothie cart isn't always smooth sailing.

Hitch Trailblazer: And then I told her I knew that, and it hardly compares to the pressures of being sheriff.

Zipp Storm: Mm-hmm. Then what?

Sunny Starscout: Then Sparky burped and—

Hitch Trailblazer: That was not a burp. It was a hiccup.

Sunny Starscout: It was not!

Zipp Storm: Cutie marks swapped.. and personalities, too...I think I might know what's going on here. Catch you on the flippity-flip!

Hitch Trailblazer: Wait! Are you not gonna help us figure out how to switch back?!

Zipp Storm: Not until I confirm my theory!

[whoosh]

Sunny Starscout: So... uh, hmm... we're stuck like this. I guess I'll do your job for now.

Hitch Trailblazer: Good! Then I will have it easy when I do yours!

Sunny Starscout: Hah! Not as easy as me!

Hitch Trailblazer: As if! All right! Who wants smoothies?

Sunny Starscout: Okay, critters! Sheriff Sunny here! Let's get you all back to your homes in the garden.

Hitch Trailblazer: [grunts]

[clatter]

[ponies clamoring]

Hitch Trailblazer: Aah! Okay! [nervous laugh]

Sunny Starscout: All right, critters! There's a new sheriff in town! You can understand me, right? Wah! Oof! Then why aren't you listening?!

[animals chittering]

Izzy Moonbow: This is not good.

Sparky Sparkeroni: [giggling]

Pipp Petals: Gotcha! Don't worry! We've got this! Now, stay!

Izzy Moonbow: Look what I found! [reading] "Snackerdoodles: Perfect for Cloudpuff or any other critter who needs to be convinced to just go outside already!" Hey, that's perfect! [vocalizing, gasps] It's working!

[animals chittering]

Cloudpuff: [barking]

Izzy Moonbow: Ooh! Ah! Ugh! [sighs] The label didn't say anything about that.

Pipp Petals: Look on the bright side, Iz. It looked adorable.

[mouse squeaks]

Pipp Petals: [screaming] Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!

Izzy Moonbow: Adorable!

Pipp Petals: [yelping, whimpering]

Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbling]

[mouse squeaking]

Opaline: Now that we're on the inside, it's only a matter of time before I obtain what's powering that pris-beam magic.

Misty: Then we can harness their powers and get your Alicorn magic back.

Opaline: I'll take my rightful place reigning over all of Equestria the way Alicorns were meant to. And I'll make sure those little "friendship ponies" won't get to use their magic ever again.

Misty: Wait. Does that include me?

Opaline: Don't be foolish, Misty. You'll be allowed to keep your powers... once you get your cutie mark. If you prove to me that you're worthy of one.

Misty: I will! I'll do anything.

Pipp Petals: [panting] Why won't they leave?!

Izzy Moonbow: We're never gonna have a regular place to live again! That's just how it is now.

Sunny Starscout: Don't worry! I'm here to talk to the animals!

Pipp Petals: No offense, but isn't this more of a Hitch thing?

Sunny Starscout: Not today!

Pipp Petals: [gasps]

Izzy Moonbow: Aah!

Sunny Starscout: Listen up, animal friends! It's time to skedaddle!

[beat]

[animals laugh]

Sunny Starscout: But... Ugh! But I know you understood me!

[phone beeps]

Zipp Storm: It appears that Sunny has been "Hitch-switched", but still doesn't have his full powers. Hmm...

Pipp Petals: What are you doing? Taking notes?! Don't you stand there! [whiny] Help meeeee! Aah!

Zipp Storm: Can't! I'm working! Hoof to heart!

Pipp Petals: [groans]

[mouse squeaking]

Hitch Trailblazer: This isn't so hard. I don't know what Sunny was talking about. You just gotta follow the rules. I mean, recipes. Gotta follow the recipes.

Dahlia: Um, excuse me? My smoothie is too smooth. Can you chunkify it?

Hitch Trailblazer: What? But I followed the recipe.

Dahlia: There's the problem. Sunny always makes them on the fly. Hmph.

Hitch Trailblazer: Okay, I'll make you another, chunkier one.

Toots: Hey, hey, hey! I'll take the usual!

Hitch Trailblazer: What's the usual?

Toots: It's the smoothie I usually get. Sunny knows what it is.

Mayflower: Sunny also chit-chats with us while she blends. You've been too quiet!

Hitch Trailblazer: No recipes? Usual orders? Chit-chat? I didn't know Sunny had to do all this extra stuff! I thought it was just blended fruit!

Zipp Storm: Hmm... Looks like this switch thing isn't working for you, is it?

Hitch Trailblazer: What makes you say that?

[fruits thudding]

[splat]

Hitch Trailblazer: Okay, fine! I'll admit it! I just can't be Sunny! So how did I get her cutie mark?

Zipp Storm: I think I might have an idea. But take me through it one more time.

Hitch Trailblazer: Well, first, Sunny and I were arguing about who has an easier job, and I said it was clearly her. Oh, but Sparky wouldn't stop hiccuping dragonfire magic.

Zipp Storm: Dragonfire magic? That's it! That's got to be it!

Hitch Trailblazer: What is?

Zipp Storm: Oh, uh... [gasps] Hmm... S-Sunny's in trouble at the Brighthouse! There are animals everywhere!

Hitch Trailblazer: She is? There are?! I have to save her! Also, you probably should've led with that, detective!

[thud]

Zipp Storm: Don't worry, everypony! Sunny will be back soon!

Toots: Phew! Great sheriff, but Hitch cannot make smoothies to save his hide.

Dahlia: [slurps, gags]

[animals chittering]

[clattering]

Izzy Moonbow: [panting] To the left!

Pipp Petals: I'm going up!

[animals chittering]

Sunny Starscout: Stop it! Everycritter! I know you know what I'm saying!

Zipp Storm: Sunny! Hitch is in trouble! He needs you!

Sunny Starscout: He is? He does?! Hitch!

Zipp Storm: I hope this works.

[mouse squeaks]

[smack!]

[thud]

Hitch Trailblazer: I have to help Sunny!

Sunny Starscout: I have to help Hitch!

Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer: Ugh!

Hitch Trailblazer: [groans]

Zipp Storm: Ouch. I hope I didn't make this worse.

Hitch Trailblazer: Sunny?

Sunny Starscout: Hitch? I'm sorry. I thought you had it easier than me. You don't.

Hitch Trailblazer: I'm sorry, too. I don't think you have it easy at all. You're a pillar of the community!

Sunny Starscout: So are you!

Hitch Trailblazer: Maybe we both are good at what we do because of who we are.

Sunny Starscout: Well, nobody can be Hitch like you can.

Hitch Trailblazer: And nopony can be Sunny like you can.

Sunny Starscout: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Hitch Trailblazer: Oh, yeah!

Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer: Secret handshake time! Up high, down low, hitch it to a post! Flip it sunny-side up and on a piece of toast!

[shimmering]

Zipp Storm: Nice work, Detective Me. Maybe I'm starting to get a handle on this "cutie mark magic" stuff.

[mouse squeaks]

Sunny Starscout: So, you think there's still time to fix all the messes we made today?

Hitch Trailblazer: Only if we do what we each do best. Oops. It must've gotten squished when we crashed.

Sunny Starscout: [laughs]

Hitch Trailblazer: [laughs]

[animals chittering]

Sparky Sparkeroni: [babbling]

Izzy Moonbow: I don't know much longer we can keep this up!

Pipp Petals: Aah!

Hitch Trailblazer: Sheriff Hitch is here, little buddies! Come on, now!

Pipp Petals: [gasps] It's a miracle!

Hitch Trailblazer: I hear you've all been acting up.

[remorseful chirping]

[mouse squeaking]

Sunny Starscout: Here's your chunky smoothie! Here's the usual! Ooh, is that a new book you're reading, Seashell?

Seashell: Yeah! It's about this tree that grows special crystals called "Elements".

Sunny Starscout: Wow, cool! Tell me more!

[animals chittering]

Hitch Trailblazer: After you. Go ahead. Thanks for visiting, friends. Well, well, well. It looks like we both did pretty good, once we started doing what we were good at.

Sunny Starscout: You said it. Is that all of them?

[clattering]

Sparky Sparkeroni: [panting]

Hitch Trailblazer: Sparky, leave that mouse alone!

Sparky Sparkeroni: [yells]

[poof!]

Pipp Petals: Did you see that?

Izzy Moonbow: It just went "poof"!

Hitch Trailblazer: Was that a mouse? Or a ghost?!

Izzy Moonbow: [gasps]

Zipp Storm: Daily mystery total – three. Cutie mark switch, disappearing mouse, and... this smoothie. [slurps] Mm. It still doesn't taste right.

Sunny Starscout: [sniffs] I know just the thing!

Zipp Storm: [slurps] Huh! That was it! Case closed!

[phone beeps]

Hitch Trailblazer: Today was pretty wild, huh?

Izzy Moonbow: Yeah! I couldn't even belizzle it!

Sunny Starscout: But at least everything is back in order again.

Pipp Petals: Now, that sounds like something Hitch would say.

Zipp Storm: Oh, no! Not again!

[beat]

Zipp Storm: [sighs]

Mane 5: [laughing]

Opaline: Aha! Finally, it's all becoming clear! Misty!

Misty: Yes, Opaline?

Opaline: I need you to sneak into the Crystal Brighthouse and steal me that lantern. It holds power. Pris-beam power.

[mouse squeaks]

Misty: Awww! Can I keep him? As a little friend?

[poof!]

Opaline: No! No need for friends when you have a job to do! Now, stay focused!

Misty: Yes, Opaline. I'm ready.

[foreboding music]

Sunny Starscout: Thanks for the help.

Hitch Trailblazer: [grunts] I'm glad to help make sure things are running smooth-ly, just as long as it's not smooth-ies. [laughs]

Sunny Starscout: I'm just happy that the community garden is officially open. Even if the animals do still seem hesitant to go back inside.

[animals chittering]

Hitch Trailblazer: [gasps] Oh, no!

[doors open]

Izzy Moonbow: Sunny! Hitch! Come look!

Sunny Starscout: What happened?

Pipp Petals: See for yourself.

Hitch Trailblazer: [gasps]

[animals chittering]

Hitch Trailblazer: What is all this?

Izzy Moonbow: It's your "Critter Corner"! Now the animals have a place to chill if the garden gets to be magically way too much.

Zipp Storm: Or if they want a solid lead on hanging with their best buddy Hitch.

Hitch Trailblazer: Awesome!

[bird chirps]

Hitch Trailblazer: [laughs] A birdseed smoothie? Sure, I'll ask Sunny to add it to the menu for you. Why not? You were saying, Kurtle?

Kurtle: [chirps]

Hitch Trailblazer: Yes, lettuce is also nice.

Izzy Moonbow and Pipp Petals: [laugh]

Zipp Storm: So it looks like you two worked things out, huh?

Sunny Starscout: I think we just needed a little trot in each other's horseshoes. Even if we didn't want to admit it.

Mane 5: [laughing]
