04x01 - Bridlewoodstock

[bunniefuu]

[sombre music]

[rustling]

[squeaking]

This is kinda spooky, isn't it?

-[owl hooting, wings fluttering]
-[gasping]

No. Not at all.

[snoring]

Izzy, what are we doing in the middle
of the Bridlewood forest… at night?

It's a surprise!

If I told you, you wouldn't be surprised!

She does have a point there.

You're gonna love it.
Hoof to heart.

Come on! It's just up here!

-Oh yeah.
-[laughing]

Uh…

-[gasping]
-[exclaiming]

Oof, ow.

[yawning]

We're here! Ta-da!

Uh… Izzy?
Is something supposed to happen?

Hush.

[bright music]

[tinkling]

[tinkling]

-[gasping]
-Wow!

-Gorgeous!
-Awesome!

What?

[wings fluttering]

[gurgling]

Wow. I've never seen anything
like this in my life!

This is amazing, Izzy!

What is it?

It's called the "Lumi-Bloom"!

Every moon season, for one week only,
all of the plants and stuff

in this part of Bridlewood
go all wild and glowy!

So it's not just some sort
of Unicorn spell?

-Just a natural phenomenon?
-Yup! Do you like it?

Like it?! Do I like it?

I love it!

It makes me wanna sing.

[vocalizing]

Oh my glow.

Did you guys just see that?!

Yeah, huh, that was actually really cool.

I have to do it again!
Quick, get it on camera this time!

-[beeping]
-Ha, wait!

-What's wrong?
-I just had an even better idea.

We can share this beautiful sight
with everypony

-if we bring them all here…
-Whoa.

How are we gonna do that?

By hosting the biggest and brightest
musical festival

that Equestria's ever seen… or heard.

That sounds so magical!
I love it!

But Izzy said the bloom only lasts a week.

Which means… we're already
running out of time!

We have to get started right now.

[maniacal laughter in the distance]

Huh?

[maniacal laughter echoing]

[mysterious voice] Yes…
Sing for us, ponies.

[maniacal laughter echoing]

[upbeat music]

[humming]

Hm. Ah-ha!

[yawning]

[humming]

Hmm!

[continues humming]

-Whatcha doing?
-Making my dreams come true!

Because if you can dream it,
you can do it, Izzy.

[gasping]

I just dreamed that I crafted an entire
sailboat out of tortilla chips.

See? I love that for you!

And I love this for me!

But if I want to make the Bridlewoodstock
Music Festival happen,

I can't waste a single minute.

Everypony has to see
the Lumi-Bloom before it's over!

It is pretty special, huh?

Which is why I'm going to need help today.

We'll have to bring in
everything and fast.

-Uh…
-Tents, stages, sound equipment,

decorations, and of course… musicians!

[exclaiming]
[laughing]

Wait. Why does your face look like that?

Well… Uh, I don't want to burst
your excitement bubbles, but…

there is a little teensy weensy problem
with that particular spot.

Um. Maybe we should have
the festival somewhere else!

-A problem?
-Umm… it's just that we…

we Unicorns think it's kinda Jinxie
to sing or make any loud noises

during the Lumi-Bloom
because of the… the Troggles.

Is that it? An old "Jinxie" rumor?
Psst! Ha!

No, it's not a rumor!
There's even a poem!

It goes like this…
[clears throat]

"Eyes of the monster, form of the pig

Sing laugh or yell,
step hoof on a twig"

[groaning]

Iz! Iz! Iz! Iz!
It's going to be fine.

Once the Unicorns hear the amazing music
with the glowy sights,

they won't even remember that silly poem!

It will be that life-changing.
Trust me!

Yeah.
[chuckling nervously]

I guess you could be right.
I've never actually seen a Troggle.

See?

Okay, let's do it!

Bridlewoodstock, here we come!

[laughing]

[indistinct chatter]

Good morning! Breakfast?

[gasping]
Yes, please.

Thanks, Sunny, but I've gotta fly.
Too much to do!

Emergency music festival planning meeting
at Mane Melody later! Be there!

At least take a smoothie to-go!

Wow. Who doesn't have time
for a smoothie?

[Zipp] A pony on a mission, that's who.

[slurping]

[sighing]
Here we go.

Everypony, brace yourselves
for a wild week.

Pegasi love music festivals.

They're kind of a big deal
in Zephyr Heights.

Pipp has always wanted to plan
one of her own.

So she must be feeling the pressure
to make it perfect.

What do you mean?

She did stay up all night working!

Then we have to help her out.

Uh-huh.

I want to lean into the Lumi-Bloom theme
and go full Flower Fest.

Flower crowns!

Snack tents featuring edible flowers!

Where does the music part come in?

I am glad you asked, Jazz.

The Mane Stage!

[gasping]

-What bands are gonna play?
-Yeah!

That's where you ponies come in!

How?

-We're not a band…
-Yet.

No, no, no, no, no.
I need you ponies to help me secure

some amazing bands while I work on…
everything else!

I think we can get Electric Blue.

The super epic Pegasus rock band?

Wow Hitch, I didn't know you were
such a musical expert!

-I know things.
-[Sunny laughs]

And I am dying to have
the incredible new pop artist,

Ruby Jubilee perform.

I love her!

Me too! Everypony does.
Her vocals are unreal.

Which is why she's going to be hard
to lock down on such short notice.

But we have to try, right?

Right. But we still need
an incredible Earth Pony or Unicorn band

to round out the lineup.
Any ideas?

I know! I know!
We could get… The Dreamlands!

-No way!
-They're this really famous

Earth Pony trio that I loved
when I was younger.

They practically invented the genre
of "girl group" music.

But they haven't performed in moons.

How would we find them?

I have a connection.
I know ponies.

Actually, my Grandma Figgy does.

She used to bake
for the lead singer, Minty!

[exclaiming]
This is all coming together

like perfection!
Rocky and Jazz, you're on style duty!

Zipp, you go get Electric Blue!

[Zipp] You got it!

Sunny and Hitch,
find those Dreamlands!

And Izzy, you and I will convince
Ruby Jubilee to dazzle us!

-Yeah!
-Okay!

-On it!
-[Rocky and Jazz] Yeah!

Do whatever you have to do, just get those
bands to come to Bridlewoodstock!

[door closing]

[mysterious music]

[slurping]

Oh…

[indistinct chatter]

[camera shutters clicking]

Alright, how hard could this be?

Hey! Electric Blue?

Huh?

Zipp.

Uh… who?

Uh… Princess Zipp?

Oh, hey, Princess.
How's your sister?

She's great! Actually, that's why
I wanted to talk to you.

But it's top-secret. Can we… can…
Can we get out of here?

Yeah. I'm down with that.

Hey, guys, let's go!

[exclaiming]

[upbeat music]

Phew.

[Zipp] Hey! Up here!

Pipp sent me to find you guys
because she wants to invite you…

[chuckling]
…we want to invite you

to play at Bridlewoodstock!

Uh, what's that?

It's the very first music festival
in Bridlewood

and it's gonna be so…
uh… so… rockin'?

Yeah!

Hmm…

[indistinct whispering]

Hmm…

So, uh…
[chuckling nervously]

What do you think?

We're not sure.

Maybe I didn't explain right! So there's
a thing called the Lumi-Bloom, right?

And all the plants and flowers
and crystals glow!

And it looks awesome! Imagine
those visuals with one of your sets.

I mean, really cool and uh…
[stammers]

You'll be the headliners!

Well, why didn't you lead with that?

Of course we'll play.

Great!

Phew!

[Pipp] I can't believe we're about
to meet Ruby Jubilee!

This is our big chance to work with
the newest, most talented chart-topper!

Do I look okay?

[gasping]
Your sparkle is shining bright!

[exclaiming]

It's got a cutie mark on it.

"Your Majesty Princess Petals…"
That's me!

"…Miss Ruby Jubilee
sends her deepest regrets.

She cannot join you today
due to a case of… creative block!"

[gasping]

-Maybe we can help her!
-My thoughts exactly.

[humming]

Princess Pipp?!

Sorry to surprise you like this,
but my friend Izzy and I got your note

-and we had to help.
-We've had creative block, too.

We get it.

Oh, Princess.
It's just… ugh, awful!

What's going on?
You can talk to us.

After the success of my debut single,

I've just been putting so much pressure
on myself to top it with a new hit!

Ugh, but how do you top
a chart-topper?

Ruby, you have no idea how much
I understand what you're going through.

Me too! But luckily, we have some tricks
up our hooves to help.

-You do?
-Yes!

First, try not to be inspired
when you watch this.

[gasping]
My stars.

That is the most magical sight
I've ever seen!

It makes me think of… Quick!

I need to write this idea down
before I forget!

You're already inspired!

And it's even better in real life!

You have to see it.
At the Bridlewoodstock festival!

-Onstage!
-Will you perform for us?

I don't know.

Wild rubies are in season in Bridlewood!

You love rubies!

Mmm, I really do.

And… you'll be the headliner!

Wow. Okay!
Now I'm really inspired!

I'll do it.

[chuckling]

You sure we'll find her here, Figgy?

Oh yes. This is where Minty comes
to do her weekly shop!

I run into her all the time.

You're so cool, Granny!

[laughing]
So are you, Hitchie.

[gasping]
Look, over there!

[gasping]
[Grandma Figgy] That's her all right.

Well, don't dawdle now. Scoot!

[clears throat]
[Sunny] Um, excuse me.

Are you Minty?

Yes. Why?

I'm Sunny and this is Hitch.

And we're big fans of yours
and we wanted to know if maybe

you would consider getting
the group back together

to play at our music festival
this weekend?

After all, coincidentally, it's the
anniversary of your very first hit single!

-Yeah!
-Anniversaries should be celebrated,

don't you think?! Heh.

Sorry. Sometimes when I get nervous,
I talk really fast.

It's true. She does.

So what do you think, Minty?

I don't know.

The Dreamlands broke up
moons and moons ago.

Even if I could convince Snuzzle
and Blue Belle, we're so out of practice.

Oh, I know the perfect place
you can practice!

It's called Mane Melody and it's got
a stage and everything.

[sighing]
It's not just that.

Then what is it?

Does anypony even care about
our little girl group anymore?

Of course they do!
You're the originals!

You're what started it all!

Figgy!

I hope my grandson and his friend
aren't bothering you too much.

But I told them I'd help convince you
to give it a try.

It'd be so wonderful to see you girls
singing together again.

Is there a key lime pie in the deal?

Already baked it!

[laughing]

Okay then… I guess we'll do it.

As long as we're not pushed aside
at some little stage for "old timers"

while the flashy new acts
play the mane stage.

We have to make a splash
if we're making a comeback!

You know what?

I have an even better idea.

The Dreamlands will be the headliners!

-Let's do it!
-[Sparky gurgling]

-Yes!
-Yeah!

-[Zipp] Hey!
-Huh?

I talked to Electric Blue!
They're gonna do it!

We convinced Minty to get
the Dreamlands to play!

-[exclaiming]
-And we got Ruby Jubilee!

Which you knew already!

Great work, everypony!
I knew I could count on you.

Now we just have to set up
an entire festival!

Easy peasy!

[upbeat music]

[squealing]

[chuckling]

Everypony get ready!

The music is coming-to-town!

The music festival, that is.

It's called "Bridlewoodstock"!

You're gonna love it!

[with a trembling voice] Loud music?!
During the Lumi-Bloom?

Of course! Isn't it the most beautiful
thing you've ever witnessed?

Now it will have a soundtrack!

This is a very bad idea!

[screaming]
Count me out!

Um… Is it just me or do these Unicorns
seem kind of…

-Not into the idea?
-Yeah.

They are definitely freaked out
about something.

So…

Are there any amazing local
Bridlewood musicians

-who would love to perform at the show?
-[screaming]

Oh! Onyx! Dapple!

You two would be perfect additions
to the lineup, heh.

What do you say?

No.

Oh, well that's okay, heh.

You still have time to mull it over.

Uh, we don't need time.

[gasping]
You don't?

Because we Unicorns know better.

You should never sing during
a Lumi-Bloom because of the…

…Troggles!

[gasping]

[soft percussive music]

"Eyes of the monster, form of the pig

Sing laugh or yell,
step hoof on a twig

Troggles appear, steal what's to be

No cure to be found, past the red ruby"

Okay, I… I give up.
What are these Troggle thingies?

Legend says… that the Troggles
are mystical spirit monsters!

Th-th-they only come out during the bloom!

And they steal things from you
if you make any noise!

But they can only work their spirit magic
at night… so beware of singing!

Or you'll be cursed!

Bing bong!
Bing bong!

[all] Bing bong! Bing bong!
Bing bong! Bing bong!

Oh. Is that all?

[chuckling nervously]

[upbeat music]

Come to the Bridlewoodstock
Music Festival and I, Princess Pipp,

guarantee you the greatest sights
your eyes have ever seen

and sounds your ears will ever hear!

[laughing]

Yes, that is correct.

It's called the "Lumi-Bloom".

And we'll have the hottest musical acts
in the industry.

The Dreamlands, Electric Blue,
and… Ruby Jubilee!

That's Bridlewoodstock
Music Festival, okay!

In Bridlewood! Be there or um…
You know what?

Just be there, everypony!

[construction noises]

Looking great, everypony!
Take five!

Hello!

[humming]

[humming]

[sighing]

Home sweet Mare Stream!

Thanks for setting it up!

Isn't luxury glamping the best?

I love to glamp!

It helps me forget about
all my worries.

Aw. What do you have to worry about?

Uh… Want a toasted marshmallow?

[sighing]

You're right.
My worries have melted away!

Yes! Yeah.
[laughing]

Me too, me too!

[indistinct chatter]

-[raspy breathing]
-[rustling]

Huh? Uh…

Hmm…

Oh no. What's wrong now?
Did one of the bands back out?!

No, nothing like that.

It's just… Are you absolutely sure
we should be having the festival here?

Ah, why wouldn't we?
It's literally gorgeous.

Um, but you heard what Onyx
said earlier about the legend, right?

[gasping]
With the Troggles? Um…

Why? Have you seen anything… Troggle-y?

Trust me, there's nothing to worry about.

Besides, look at this place already.

Everything is coming together like
the harmonies on my last single!

[gasping]
Izzy!

Is that what I think it is?

If you think it's my flower crown
booth, then yes.

-Want a sneaky peek?
-Yeah, I do!

And I want all of you to stay here
in our amazing Mare Stream and relax!

Toast some marshmallows!

Should we do something to stop all this?

[sneezing]

[gurgling]

I don't know.
Things do look fine, at least…

And we worked so hard to get the bands
to agree to play.

Which reminds me,
I have to go!

Minty invited me to watch
The Dreamlands dress rehearsal

back home and I'm pretty excited about it.

See you ponies later!

I don't really want to ruin
Pipp's festival…

but are you still feeling uneasy about
those strange Unicorn warnings, too?

Actually, yes.

You know what I think this calls for?

An investigation?

Boom. You got it.

Come on!

[microphone feedback]

[grunting]
This isn't working, Minty!

Snuzzle is right.

Ugh, why did we agree to this, anyway?

We're washed up!

No, we're not!

They're going to laugh at us.

We just need to run it a few more times.

Come on, let's just try it again
from the top.

And a one, two…
a one, two, three.

-[pop music playing]
-Ha! Sorry I'm late!

I came straight from Bridlewood!

Sunny! So glad you're here.

This is not going well…

Hey! Watch where you're going!

-You're in my way!
-Stop it, you two!

Has it been like this the whole time?

As soon as they walked in the door.

They can't agree on anything!

And they haven't even made it through
their whole song once.

Maybe I can fix this.

That's it, I'm done.

Fine!

Ah… Minty! Looking fresh!

How is everything going?

Oh Sunny.
Don't act like you didn't just see that.

It's a disaster!

The dance moves are off,
our looks are dated, and…

We can't agree on what song to perform.

Blue Belle thinks we should try
and update our sound

to appeal to a younger audience,
but that's not so easy.

I think this might be a no-go
for The Dreamlands.

Sorry, Sunny.

Hey, wait! Don't give up!

And don't try to change yourselves.

Your classic sounds are what
everypony loves about you!

You just have to do what you do best
and you're gonna rock that stage.

[bright music]

[gasping]

[all] Yeah!

[both] Hmm.

-Huh.
-Hmm.

-What can you tell us about Troggles?
-[flypad beeps]

Troggles? Where?
[screaming]

[both] Hmm.

[laughing]

Hey! Uh, do you ponies
know that Jinxie poem?

-About the Tro--
-Shh! Yeah, but I don't wanna say it!

What?!

Yeah, I mean… like what is a Troggle
anyway, you know?

[sighing]

Like when you think about it,
what is anything?

[sighing]

I think I've come to a conclusion.

Well?

The results are inconclusive.

[groans]
I can't tell if these monster

spirit things are real or just another
piece of spooky Unicorn lore!

Me neither. But I think
we need to talk to Pipp again.

Before it's too late.

Mm-hmm.

[Pipp] Hey, ponies!

We wanna talk to you about something.

Wait, wait!
Have you seen the mane stage yet?

Come look first!

[soft music]

Wow, Pipp.
That looks really cool!

Don't you love the rubies?

[gurgling]

I had them locally harvested
from Bridlewood

in honor of Ruby Jubilee's
big performance!

I'm just so thrilled with how
everything is coming together

with no snags at all!

Well, about that…

There's kind of a snag
that we wanted to discuss.

Uh, Princess Pipp!

We need you at artist tent setup!

-[crashing]
-Please!

Be right there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Am I the only one who is worried
about all this Troggle stuff?

Look! There are even Unicorns
on board with the festival now.

-[clattering]
-[gasping]

Then maybe you are just trying to dig up
trouble where there isn't any.

You're right.

Maybe sometimes…
[sighing]

…there just isn't any mystery to solve.

And that's okay.

You know what?
I'm gonna try and have fun tomorrow.

Lean into the whole music
festival experience.

For my sister.

Me too!

[gurgling]

[gasping]
[gurgling with frustration]

[bright music]

[cheering]

[Pipp] Welcome to Bridlewoodstock,
everypony!

[upbeat music playing]

This is all gonna be okay, right?

Even after all the stuff
those Unicorns said?

I really hope so.

[upbeat music]

[Hitch] Pipp really pulled things
together fast, huh?

Heh. That's my little sister for ya.

When she wants something,
she will make it happen!

Well, I'm impressed.

This place looks awesome!

-Very floral.
-Yeah, it does.

Alright, I'll admit it.
I am a little excited.

And I can't wait to see Electric Blue
headline the show!

Huh. I thought The Dreamlands
were headlining the show?

Hey, look! There's Izzy's booth!

[humming]

-Hey, Iz. What's all this?
-[gasps]

The Flower-fication Station!
Station! Station!

It's so much fun, it's almost making me
forget about how super Jinxie

this all this. Take a seat!

-Okay!
-Wait, what did you just say, Izzy?

[humming]

[Zipp groaning]

[Izzy continues humming]

-How did you just--
-Wait! There's more!

[whistling]
[laughing]

[upbeat music]

[coughing]

-Yeah!
-[gurgling]

Wow! Now you're really festival ready!

[laughing]

Yeah, we are!

-Thanks, Izzy.
-You're welcome!

Have fun and don't let the Troggles bite!

[laughing nervously]

What was that?

Umm… just some silly old Jinxie saying!

Nothing to worry about! Probably.

Okay, catch ya later!

-Who's hungry? I'm starving.
-Huh?

[spooky voice] Hungry.

Hungry!

-Mm-hmm…
-[maniacal laughter in the distance]

Did you just hear that?

Come on, let's get some snacks. Woo!

[sighing]
Oh!

This is taking forever.

What are we in line for, again?

Fries! With dipping sauces!

Oh yeah. Huh.
That does sound pretty delicious.

Mmm. Dipping sauces.

[sighing]

[groaning]

Yay! Zipp!
We're almost there!

There you two are!

Ugh, thank hoofness,
I've been looking everywhere!

-You look amazing, by the way.
-[gasping]

What the hay, Pipp?!

I'm sorry, but this is
a festival emergency!

Come with me!

But… but… dipping sauces!

[exclaiming]

I don't want to alarm you,
but this is bad.

Like epically bad.

Does this have to do with
the Unicorn legend?

-We've been worried about that, too.
-Mmm-hmm.

And so has Izzy,
even if she won't admit it.

Huh?

We didn't want to upset you.

But, you can be sure that Zipp and I
will do whatever we can

to minimize damage and help shut
things down before it's too late.

What? Why would you do that?!

Because of the Troggles?

Okay, I have no idea
what you two are talking about,

but we actually do have a serious problem
on our hooves here.

More serious than ancient ghost monsters?

Yes! So two of our major musical acts,
Electric Blue and Ruby Jubilee, are here!

That's a good thing, though… right?

Uh, it would be, if they didn't both
think they're the headliner!

I just don't understand
how this mixup happened.

Oh!

I may have had something
to do with that. Whoopsies?

Zephyrina! What did you do?

Hey, I was just trying to help you out!

Electric Blue were on the fence
about performing, so I uh…

sweetened the deal
by promising some stuff?

Like I said, this is epically bad.

What are we gonna do?!

We'll just have to tell them the truth
about what happened.

I'm sure they'll understand.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
You do not tell a musician

that they've been demoted
from headliner! You just don't.

Maybe they can double-headline!
Is that a thing?

That's not a thing, is it?!
But it could be!

If we make it one! Yeah! Yeah!
That could work.

And then, and then we'll still have
plenty of other bands to go on first

and open for them.
Like The Dreamlands!

Are they here yet?
Where's Sunny?

Right here!
And your headliners have arrived!

Here they are!

Hey, everypony!

We are really excited to be
headlining a show after all this time!

Thank you so much for this!
We feel so special!

[dramatic music]

[chuckling nervously]

[laughter]

On behalf of the royal family
of Zephyr Heights

and the um, uh… friendship fellowship
of the Unity Crystals,

we are so honored that you have
graced us with your talents

this fine evening at this celebration
of the music.

So are we!

We weren't even sure we could perform
together anymore,

let alone headline a festival!

Yes, yes. Well, please get comfortable
as you warm your vocal chords

and prepare for your grand performance!

And do let us know if you require
anything else, heh…

We shall check in on you later, hmm?

Why was she talking like that?

Uh, Royals are fancy?

[groaning]

Before you say anything, I know that
I was just acting totally weird in there!

-As long as you know.
-I just panicked!

But it's okay.
We will come up with a plan and fast.

But for now, all we have to do is keep
the bands separated until the show, heh.

We have time to figure it out!

Umm, not to burst any more
of your bubbles, but not really.

-[Sunny] It is almost dusk.
-[owl hooting]

If you want the full effect of the
Lumi-Bloom, we gotta get started!

Plus, the sooner we start the show,
the less chance of any uh…

unwanted visitors showing up!

Okay. I'm not going
to let anything ruin this.

Not "Troggies", diva musicians, or…
the sun setting!

-You're sounding pretty weird again, sis.
-I know!

What's even weirder is triple headliners.

We gotta fix this and convince
one of the groups to open!

So in conclusion,
when you really think about it,

opening the show is actually
way better than going last

because you'll be the first band
in history to rock out

to the visuals of the bloom!

[panting]

[sighing]

Alright, you got it.

Hey, that was a great speech!

Phew.

So you know what I was thinking?

Who wants to go last when everypony
is too tired to sing and dance along?

Really, being first up is the perfect
place to be is what I always say!

[chuckling nervously]

-Hmm… You know…
-[chuckling nervously]

You have a really good point, Hitch.

I think so, too.

Let's do it.

Let's go on first.

Phew.

Princess Pipp!
I wanted to talk to you--

Okay, Ruby. It's all set.
You are the star of the whole night!

Our magnificent headliner
on our stunning "Ruby stage"!

Actually… I was kinda hoping you
wouldn't mind if I go on first instead?

-What?!
-I love to sing during sunset.

And it matches the exact vibe of the song
you and Izzy inspired me to write!

[chuckling]

Oh so you wanna go first now?

[indistinct chatter]

So now we have three openers and nopony
who wants to be a headliner?!

Yup. That's the situation.
Mm-hmm.

This just keeps on getting worse!

Not to point out the obvious
or anything, but uh…

[clears throat]
Aren't you a major pop star?

A frequent headliner?
A singer who loves attent--

Oh. Right. Yes. I am!

I suppose I can perform,
if everypony insists.

[all agreeing]

-Okay then, I'll do it.
-Woo-hoo! The show is saved!

Maybe.

Alright. Let's get this show
started right now.

-Hey, Pipp?
-What's wrong now?

My tummy feels like it's full
of butterflies!

I'm still kinda nervous that
the Troggles might show up.

No, no. That's just pre-show jitters!

-It is?
-Don't worry, everypony gets them.

Even me! Just go trot it off!

Okay.

-[humming]
-Phew.

[maniacal laughter]

Huh.

[upbeat music]

[cheering]

[gasping]

Welcome, everypony, to Bridlewoodstock!

[cheering]

[eerie music]

Please give a glowy, warm welcome
to our first artist!

The one… the only… Ruby Jubilee!

[cheering]

Are you ready to get
this pony party started?!

Don't be afraid to sing along!

-Technical difficulties?

Oh no, her mic cut out!

[voice crackling]

Oh no.

[gasping]

[ominous music]

[gasping]

[gasping]
Troggles!

-[screaming]
-Oh no! Oh no!

[screaming]

No way, dude!
Don't take my voi--

[screaming]

[gasping]

Uh-oh.

But… but… The show!

Come on, ponies.
We've gotta stop this!

Yes! But first, we need a plan!

"Eyes of the monster, form of the pig!

Sing laugh or yell, step hoof on a twig!

Troggles appear, steal what's to be!

No cure to be found, past the red ruby!"

Izzy, we don't have time
for poems right now!

Wait, did you basically just say that
rubies can defeat the Troggles?!

Huh! I guess I did!

What? Everypony, grab those rubies!

[grunting]

They're really stuck on there!

That's because we used extra strength
super-duper-Ruby glue!

Why did we do that?

[screaming]

[screaming]

Come on.
My friends need my help.

[grunting]

Yeah!

Everypony away from the stage!

[cheering]

Everypony! Catch a ruby!

[grunting]

-Ah-ha!
-[Hitch] Yeah!

[chuckling]

Hey!

[gasping]

[gasping]

Hello? Hello!

Uh, my voice is back.

♪ Iconic woah oh ♪

[laughing]

It worked!

[sighing]
Ah, thank hoofness!

Uh, is this thing on?

[chuckling nervously]
Wow…

So I just wanna say…
that I'm sorry.

To everypony.

But especially to the residents
of Bridlewood.

This forest is your home
and you know it best.

You tried to warn me,
but I didn't wanna listen to you

or to my friends.

Who only wanted to help make my dream
of this festival come true.

I guess I just got so focused on planning
the perfect Bridlewoodstock festival,

that I forgot to consider Bridlewood.

And all of the history
that comes along with it.

Even the Jinxie stuff.

But I know better now.

And I wanna thank you all
for coming to the first

and last Bridlewoodstock.

The festival is over!

What?! Don't stop it now!

This is most fun we've ever had
during the Lumi-Bloom!

Now that the Troggles are gone,
we're not scared anymore!

-We want more music!
-Yeah! Let's go!

[chanting] We want more! We want more!

What do you think, Ruby?

[laughing]
I think the fans have spoken!

Then the show must go on.

What are we waiting for?
Start the music!

[pop music playing]

We have more incredible acts coming up!

Please welcome… Electric Blue!

[cheering]

How's everypony doin' tonight?!

I'm Fretlock.

There's Jam Donut on the bass,
and there's Arpeggia on drums!

And we are Electric Blue!

Woo!

[cheering]

And here to join us are
our very special guests…

The original girl group…

The ones who started it all.

[Ruby and Pipp] The Dreamlands!

[cheering]

The Dreamlands!
