(sighs)
(off-key): Mee-mee-mee-mee…
You're a little pitchy, Zipp.

I mean, this is The Zephyr Heights

Wishentine Royal Carousel Concert!

Ugh! If it takes an hour to say the name,

the show's probably

going to last for a week!


Even more reason to practice!

From the top!

(clattering)
(Izzy): Just a little closer,
and I can get these…
(gasps)
…ornaments!
(chirping)
It's from my Grandma Figgy!
(clicking)
(chirping)
Not Piggy, ya wise-crab! Figgy!
(clicking)
Very funny.
Anyway, Figgy writes:
"My dearest Grandcolt…"
That's me!

"I can't wait to see you

on Winter Wishday!


We're going to have so much fun

building the best cookie cottages!

Love, your Gran."
Oh!

Isn't she the best Grandma

in the whole world?

(chirping)
Oh, you think your Grandma is better?
(chirping)
That's what I thought.
(laughing)
♪ We whisk you some tasty cookies ♪
♪ We whisk you some frosted goodies ♪
♪ We wish you a yummy Wish Day ♪
♪ And a happy New Moon ♪♪

(giggles)

Okay, okay.


If I keep it in any longer,

I'm going to explode!

Hit the deck, everypony!
(laughs)
(chirping)
What's got you buzzing, Sunny?
Winter Wishday is just around the corner

and of course, I can't wait to spend it

with all of you!

I have the perfect holiday planned for us,

and it all ends

with my favorite part,


exchanging gifts under

the Wishing Star!

Eee! There, I said it!
Uh…
Ooh…
What?

Well, it's just that I promised

my Grandma Figgy

I'd celebrate Wishday with her.
Like we always do!
And I have to ring in the last night
of Wishiehoof in Bridlewood
with my hoofmade ornament!
It's Jinxie if I miss that!
And we have to be home for the…

Zephyr Heights Wishentine

Royal Carousel Concert.

Woowee, that takes a long time to say.
(together): Right?

It seems like we've all

got conflicting holiday plans.

No! I mean, sorry, yes,
we do all have plans,

but I think we can

still make this happen.

But how?
We'll stick together! That's how.

We can definitely get

to all of our holiday traditions


and still make it back here in time

to exchange gifts under the Wishing Star!

Ugh! Love that for us,

but Zephyr Heights

and Bridlewood are quite the journey.

And wow! Look at all that floaty snow!
Huh. That's strange.
It never snows here in Maretime Bay.
Like ever! Right, Hitch?

Nope. But I have been wishing

for snow ever since I was little!

Me too! But…

how are we going to get to Bridlewood

and Zephyr Heights in this?


Mm-hmm!

(giggles)

Zipp and I have a surprise for you!
Surprise?
Surprise?
(excited shouting)

It could be the perfect

snow-lution to our pickle!


It was supposed to wait

until Wishday, but…

Oh, alright!
So… what is it?

Huh? Oh, sorry.

I zoned out there for a second!

Follow me!
(humming)
Ta-da!
Okay, so it still needs a little work.

But pretty great, right?!

We've been working on it for weeks!

Love it so much! One question though.
What is it?

Well, originally, it was that old,

broken tram car

I found behind the factory,
then it was a giant art installation,

then Zipp had a brilliant idea

to Unicycle it from art to…

Moving art!
More like flying art!
Yeah! So now it's that!

I just wanted to find a way to show you

ponies how awesome it is to fly, too.


-No way!

-What?!


We can use it to travel to our hometown

holiday celebrations,


and make it back here

to the Brighthouse

in time to see the Wishing Star together!

Pretty cool, but are you sure

this thing can fly?

Hmm…
Uh…

(giggles)

We think so!

Never know until you try!
What do you call it?
No name yet, but I have a few ideas.
Hmm… The Marestream!

I mean, that's an option

I was thinking of,


we totally don't have

to use it or whatever.

It's perfection!
Agree! Now, who wants to try it out?
Wait! Wait, wait!
Pre-flight check!
Could somepony please shine a light?
You got it!

Thanks for letting me keep

an eye on your lantern, Sunny.


I know it's in good hooves

with Detective Zipp!


Have you discovered anything

new about its magic yet?


Just that its Prisbeam

energy is powerful.


(gasps)

Just like our friendship!


Exactly. Eee! I can't wait to see

the Wishing Star with my best friends!

(all laughing)
(bright music)

-Whoa!

-Look at that!


-Wow!

-Amazing!

Cool!
Yeah, I, uh, guess it works.

-Ooh!

-Whoa!

Wow!

No way! The lantern is like…

a magic key for this thing?

Whoa!
(whirring)
(bright music)

Do you have to have a driver's

license for this vehicle?

(excited shouting)
Yup. Everything checks out here.

One, two, three, four, five, six spots?

But there's only five of us!


Um, no! Don't forget

Senor Butterscotch!

Ha-ha-ha!
Ha!

All I know is, the Captain's seat,

that's for me!

Whoa!

New theory: Holiday magic even

stronger than regular magic?


Then it's settled!

First thing in the morning,


we'll head out to Equestria

and make it back to the Brighthouse

in time to see the Wishing Star! Come on!
There's so much to do to get ready!

-Can't wait!

-Great plan!

(Pipp): What should I pack?
(Izzy): Cookies.
(upbeat music)
Mm-mm.
(laughing)
(laughing)
(indistinct chatter)
(whirring)
Thanks, my little co-pilot!
(whirring)
Hmm… Yup.
Just as I suspected.

-What is it?

-Still awesome!

Everypony, hold onto your hooves.
We're going flying! Magic check?
(together): Check!
Door lock check?
Check-eroo!
Onboard snack check?
Check!
Take off!
(whirring)
This is your Captain speaking.
We are at a cruising altitude of…

I don't actually know,

and traveling at the speed of…

magic! The current time is…

This thing doesn't have a clock,

but it's definitely morning!

We have an estimated arrival

-at Grandma Figgy's cottage…

-Yes!

…at approximately pretty soon.

The seatbelt sign is,

well, we don't have one,

but if we did it would be off

and you'd all be free

to move around the cabin.


Now, for a brief announcement

from a member of our flight team.


Hello. This is your friendly in-flight

entertainment coordinator, Izzy Moonbow,


and I'm here to say that it's time

for a good old-fashioned singalong!

Okay?!
Ooh! Yes! Yes.

And uh-one, and uh-two,

uh-one-two-three!

(bright holiday music)

♪ Over the crystals

And through the woods ♪

♪ To Grandmare's tree we go ♪

-♪ Wings know the way ♪

-♪ Earth ponies play ♪

(music stops)
What was that?
I don't know!

I guess we all know the same

basic melody at least!


Each ponykind must have a different

version of the lyrics!

Fun! Okay, let's take it again,

but alternate verses this time!

Hit it, Sparky!

(giggles)

-(laughing)

-Peppermint candy snow?

(bright music)
(gasps)
(shouting)

Eyes on the sky

and not your screens, fillies!

(all): Whoa!
Zipp!
Hey! It's new!
Trees?! Those weren't there before!

(gasps)

They look beautiful!


But it doesn't even look like

Grandma Figgy's house now!

(all giggling)
Wait, everypony!

What is it now, Hitch?

We can't waste any time!

We're on kind of a tight schedule today.
I know, I know…
I just wanted to warn you all first.
Look, my Grandma Figgy is great.
She's probably the best Gran of all time!
Are you serious? Wow.

Yeah! She's the best,

but she can be kinda…

um, particular about Winter Wishday.
Particular how?
She likes things to be just so.
"Just so" how?
You're being just a little vague here.

We celebrate Winter Wishday together

every single moon the exact same way!


Her favorite holiday activity

is building Cookie Cottages with me


and it's always been that way

since I was a little foal.


It's a big, big deal to her!

It's gotta be perfect!

So just keep that in mind! That's all.
Oh, that's all?

Of course we'll honor

her Earth Pony traditions,

just like she likes.

Yeah, silly! We're going

to be great guests!

Guests who go with the flow! In the snow!

Thanks, everypony. I know

it'll mean a lot to Grandma Figgy.

(knocking)

-Hitch!

-(Hitch): Granny!

Wow! Haha!
Cheery Wishday!
Oh, it sure is!

And what a treat to have

Hitchie's friends here, too!


Oh, and this little adorable

little sweetheart, of course.

Oh, come to Granny!
(laughing)
(shivering): Thanks for having us.
Oh, goodness, you must be cold!

I haven't seen snow

like this since, well…

Never! Come in, come in
and we'll warm those hoovesies right up.
(upbeat music)
Who wants some hot cocoa?
Ah, ba, ba, ba!

Hold up! Three jumbo marshmallows

per mug, no more, no less.


-Right, Granny?

-That's right, Hitchie.

Enough to stick out of the top.
(both): But not enough to overflow!
(laughing)
(giggling)
(slurping)
This is scrumptious!
Mmm! Super delish!
And I love the decorations.
So festive!
Oh thank you, dear.
She puts up them up every Wishday!

They look exactly the same

as when I was a colt.


Except for all those trees out front.

That's different.


I grew 'em with my very own

glowin' hooves

with this newfangled Earth Pony magic.
Pretty nifty stuff!

Oh, I do love to change things up,

every chance I get, don't you?


It can be so boring to do

the same thing over and over.


Hold that thought.

I'm going to grab some napkins.

I couldn't agree more, Figgy!

Now, what would you say to another

cup of cocoa with four marshmallows?

(laughing)
Oh! Ah!
(soft music)

(gasps)

Look at his tiny sheriff costume!


(Granny): It was all he wanted

that Wishday.

I sewed it by hoof.
Oh, the badge, too!
Normally, this would be embarrassing,
but it's a Wishday tradition.

Granny would be upset

if we didn't do it.

Right…
(Sunny): I remember that Wishday!

You and Hitch came over

to watch the Wishing Star.


We both wished for snow

and thought it worked,


but it was just my Dad blowing bubble suds

from the top of the lighthouse!

You foals wanted a snowy Wishday,
so Argyle made it happen.

Oh, it's very nice you're continuing

you and your dad's tradition

with all your friends.
He would love to see it.
But look!
Your wish finally came true!

(Zipp): So it really has never snowed

in Maretime Bay before?

Oh no, not in my pony life.
It's a beach town, after all.

But snow was always

in the best holiday stories!

My favorite from when I was a filly

was called Fantastical

Flurrytales of Wishiehoof.

Wishiehoof?! That's our Unicorn holiday!

Oh! That looks just like

the Wishing Tree!

Do you mind if I take a closer look?

-Hmm…

-(Hitch): Okay! Enough of storytime!


Everypony to the Cookie Cottage

Crafting Creation Corner!

The what?
The kitchen.
(Zipp): Hmm…
So tidy! That's my Hitchie. Ha!
Uh, can we start?
No, wait! I almost forgot!

I need to find the cute miniature lights

to string up on the houses.


We can't start before I find

the cute miniature lights

to string up on the houses!

Gran, where are the cute miniature

lights we string up on the houses?


Maybe we can do them

without the lights this time?


(Hitch): I see a Wishday box

but not a Wishday Lights box, so…

Let's try something new, dear!
Got 'em! Saved the day again!
Thank hoofness, right, Grandma?
Thank hoofness.
When it comes to Wishday,
Hitchie has to have everything just so.

(laughing)

We noticed.

Now, it's cottage time!
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
(indistinct babbling)

Oh!

(laughing)

Aw…
(chuckles)
(laughing)
(shutter clicking)
(laughing)

(gasping)

Wow, that looks great!

(Hitch): Whoa! Hey, that's alright!

Fantastic! This is the best batch

of cottages I've ever seen!


They must taste as good as they look.

(laughing)

Do they? I wouldn't know.
(cackling)
(belching)
(Spark giggling)
Oh no, Gran! Your Wishday teapot!
That old thing? Oh, it's okay--
Okay? But it's special!

We've been drinking tea out of that

teapot since before I could trot!


That means it's definitely

time for a new one, then.

(purring)
(all): Aw!
So cute.
Time? Oh yeah, time!

Uh, Grandma Figgy,

this was a fantastic way to kick off


our grand holiday tour,

but if we want to hit all of our stops,

we've gotta get a move on!
Wait! You need treats for the trip!
Ah! Granny!
(giggling)
Wow, look at that!

It's not a true cookie cottage

without tiny lights.


A shining reminder of our perfect

Winter Wishday tradition! Haha!


Well, I know how you like everything

to be just so, Grandma.

Yes, Hitchie.
(all laughing)
Thanks for the Figgy pudding!
And the book!
And everything else!
Oh, you're very welcome, everypony!
My word,
it's really coming down out here, huh?
It sure is.
Stay warm! Fly safe!
(all): We will!
(bright music)
(beeping)
(whirring)
(all): Bye!
(Zipp): Peace out!
Ah, I just love the holidays!
Me too.
Grandma Figgy is the sweetest!
Yes, she is.

Even if she is pretty particular

about traditions.


(laughing)

Yeah.

She's so set in her ways!

Okay. So I know we spent a little

longer there than we planned,


but we'll definitely still make it back

to the Brighthouse

to see the Wishing Star together.

We will if I have anything

to say about it!

Full speed ahead!
(beeping)
(engine sputters)
(birds chirping)
Okay, same speed ahead, I guess.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

So what holiday traditions

do you have, Izzy?


First, I have to place my ornament

on the Wishing Tree.


And then it's the final day

of the Wishiehoof

Crystal Lighting Ceremony!
Oooh, I love ornaments!
And I love ceremonies!
What? I do.
Me too!

Oh, oh, oh! Can we pop

by Villa Izzy first?

I have to grab, uh, something…
Mysterious!

It'll only take two shakes

of a pony's tail!

Ooh, ooh!
That means not very long.
Heh… Of course, Izzy. Oh…
Ah, yes!
(Zipp): Flying is my jam!
To Bridlewood!
(engine roaring)
(all cheering)
(tense music)
(Zipp): Hmm…
(whirring)
(humming)
(giggling)
Whoa.
Whoa!
Wow, that's a lot more than a few flakes!

Do you think all this snow

is unusual for Bridlewood, too?

No idea. But doesn't it look gorgeous?!

Surprise! Hoof-knitted scarves

for all of you!

Even you, Sparky.

-Thank you, Izzy!

-Stunning!

Thanks!

Is this traditional

Wishiehoof winter wear?

Sure is! Now bundle up, everypony.
We don't want to be chilly fillies!
Is it always this chilly?
Huh…
Actually…
Nope!
Now, come on! Wishiehoof awaits!
(indistinct chatter)
(bright holiday music)

-Wow!

-Amazing!


(Pipp): This looks so pretty, Iz!

They really went all out.


Yeah, it's a Unicorn thing!

Wishiehoof is a day of fun,

friendship, and frolicking!
We are very serious about our frolicking.
Wow, this is really special, Izzy.
Just you wait! The best is yet to come.

Ooh, I gotta get in line

to place my ornament!

Is that what I think it is?
I was about to ask the same question.

If you're asking if my ornament

for the tree is the tree,

then… yep!

I'm gonna put the tree on the tree,

how funny is that?!


Now, to hang it up--

Oh wait, is that Alphabittle?

(slurping)
Alphabittle Blossomforth!
Izzy Moonbow! You're back!

Couldn't miss Wishiehoof!

Hey, do you still love games?

Whatcha thinkin'?
Mmm, charades! I'll bet you my ornament!
I don't think you want to do that, Izzy.
Sounds like a dare! You're on!
One word!
First and only word.
(Izzy): Uh… Gumdrops!
Rainbow!
Uh, single-cell organism?

Wait, that's three words!

Uh… caterpillar!


-Scrumbo.

-Hmm?

That's not even a word! Ah! I give up!
What was it?!
It was my own name.

Alphabittle.

(laughing)

Now cough it up!
Respectfully.
Enjoy it!
Oh, no, Izzy! Your special ornament.
Oh, it's okay! You know what they say?

Anything worth doing

is worth doing, twice.

You made two? Why?

Don't you always prepare for losing

spontaneous games of charades?


(chuckling)

I don't need to prepare.

I'm the best to ever do it!
Frostyshivers to you, Izzy!
Frostyshivers back at you, Alphabittle!
Iz, I'd really like to get to the tree,

even just to snap a few pics

in portrait mode.

Eee! O-M-Cuties!

-(squeaking)

-How are you?!

Aw. Look at you, you're freezing!

I know what you need:

some Wishiehoof scarves!

(effort grunts)
(squeaking)

-What did they say?

-They said, "Thank you


and Frostyshivers."

Okay, what does that even mean?!


(giggles)

It's our Wishiehoof greeting.

Try it!
Frostyshivers! Hey, frostyshivers.
Oh, over here! Hi! Also, frostyshivers!
(squeaking)

Enjoy those scarves and have

a happy, happy Wishiehoof, okay, cuties?!

Frostyshivers!
(humming)

-(clears throat)

-(Izzie gasps)

Izzy… What it is…zzy?
(percussions playing)

Oh, no.

This is gonna take awhile.


(laughing)

Hi, Onyx! Pretty snowy day, huh?

It's far out.
I haven't seen anything like this in….
Ever, ever, ever…
(percussions playing)
Neither have I!

Do you wanna hear my new

Wishiehoof poem?

Wrote it just for today.

No!

(clears throat)

No way. Too slow.
What's that? You wanna hear it too? Okay.

I call this one,

"Requiem For The Fallen Snow".

What are these flakes my eyes do see?
What is this chill coming over me?

Is this some… enchanted

winter fan-ta-sy?

Snowpony, come and set me…
Free, free, free…
(percussions playing)

The flakes fall down,

the trees don't wither.

Colts and mares, I wish you…
Frostyshivers.
(percussions playing)
I… I don't know what to say.

-I don't remember life before that poem.

-(Sparky grunts)


I loved it!

It kinda felt a bit short, though.


Well, I'm workshopping more verses

at the open mic in a minute.


-You should come.

-We'd love to! But…


we have um, a previous obligation.

Bye, Onyx!

You've got a date with a tree, buddy!

(laughing)

Alright!

I'm coming, I'm coming!
So what makes this tree so special?
It just always has been.

Many Unicorns believe

it has mystical properties!


(gasps)

Like what?


It's said that the Wishing Tree

can get rid of the Jinxies.


I don't know if it's true,

but this tree is definitely one-of-a-kind.

Here I go.
(bright music)
(gong chiming)
What does that mean?

Eee! The final Crystal Lighting

Ceremony is about to begin!

(grandiose music)
(all gasping): Whoa!
Happy Wishiehoof, Everypony!
Frostyshivers to all!
Frostyshivers! Frostyshivers to you!
Frostyshivers to you!
Frostyshivers to everypony!
(birds chirping)
Oh, I hate to leave, but it's time.
To the Marestream, crew!
(Sparky babbling)

Oh, why, it's the kindly mayor's

secretary who always--


-(Sunny): Grab her!

-I was only gonna say a quick hello!

(all shouting)
Hold onto your holiday hats, everypony!

-Let's see how fast this thing can go.

-Whoa!


-(shivering)

-Whoa!


Whoa!

(grunts)

Hey, Zipper, can you see okay?
All I see is a wall of white.
The snow is too thick!
Freaking out isn't going to help!
We gotta stay chill.

How can we stay chill?!

Look at all that ice!


(gasps)

I know how to calm us down!


We just have to think calm thoughts

and try as hard as we can

to concentrate on what we want to happen!

So think about a safe landing

in Zephyr Heights.


-And this works?

-It's an old Unicorn trick!

Worth a shot, am I right?

I mean, am I?

I'm making this up as I go along.

It's all we've got! So yeah!

Everypony visualize the fancy-schmancy

Royal Gates of Zephyr Heights!

(groaning)
Palace, sweet palace!

Oh, oh, do you think

the decorations will be sparkly?

Concentrate!
(groaning)
Ahh!
(Sparky babbling excitedly)
Ahh! Hang on tight!
Come on, come on, come on!
(tense music)
(resonating)

(Zipp): Zephyr Heights!

We're going to make it!

Woo-hoo! Haha!
Oh! Oh! Ah, how's my hair?
Ha, nailed it!

-I can't believe that worked!

-Woo!


Me neither, but there's

no time to celebrate here.


Right, we've got to window shop

with Mom, pronto.

In-and-out job, lickity split.
And then we've gotta get ready for the…

(both): Zephyr Heights Wishentine

Royal Carousel Concert!

Wow, that still takes a long time to say.
(growling)
What should we do in the meantime?
Treat yourselves, of course!

VIP Royal luxury box tickets

to the concert!

You can relax while we get ready.
Aw, I don't wanna just sit around and--

Help yourselves to the complimentary

gourmet food?

You had me at "food"!

(Sparky chomping)

Aww…


Let's go, ponies! We've still got

a star to wish on later.

One, two, three…
(all): Wishentine!
(upbeat music)

(Queen Haven): Come, Cloudpuff.

Pick up those precious paws!

Don't dawdle.

Oh! Darlings! Come look at this!

Crandall's has outdone themselves!


Wow, Mom, that was amazing.

Very festive! Yup.


So incredible, I don't think

it can be outdone.


-Why bother looking at anything else?

-What's next?


Ooh! They're doing a maple syrup

tasting at Outingdale's!

Dibs on first sample!

-Come on, Mom! Get your syrup on!

-Hurry!


(panting)

Oh my… Girls, slow down!

Shopping isn't a race, it's a marathon!
Oh, uh, well, um… We, uh…

We just want to make the most

of our Wishentine with you.


Yeah! We'd rather spend less time

at more places

than more time at less places!
Well, I suppose that makes sense.

(gasps)

Oh my hoofness, look! It's us!

Eee!
(groans)
Hmm?

Hey, Mom, do you know any

Wishentine pony-tales about snow?


Oh girls, come.

We simply take a selfie with our self-ies!

(shutter clicking)
(all): Whoa!
Fizziewick sandwiches?
Whoa, what are those?!

That's just what Thunder calls

cucumber sandwiches.

Oh, that's creative!
Oh, Izzy, look!

There's even presents for us?!

Wow, so unexpected!


-(Sunny): Hitch, get in on this!

-Huh?


-Huh.

-Oh. They're empty.


-Uh…

-Oh, those are just…

Uh, uh, well…

-You see…

-They're full of air!

Um, air from clouds! Special clouds!

That's right, clouds!

It's a traditional Pegasus gift.

How fascinating! And clever!

What kind of clouds? Nimbus?

Cumulonimbus? Cirrus? Raincloud?


Nah, that doesn't make sense.

The box would leak.

(laughing)

-What's your favorite kind of cloud?

-Good question.


Well, I wanna say "fluffy"

because I really like fluffy…

That was a really good cover.
Oh, you too.
I just rolled with it.

I don't know why we didn't just

tell them these are decorations.

Well, they seemed so excited.
They really did.

-What do you got there?

-Look, more clouds!

(Zipp): Mom, look at that! And that! Wow!
(panting)

Yeah, it's even more impressive

if you look at it

while flying by it at top speed!
(barking)
Alright, that's enough ganders, girls.
I can hardly keep up!

Eee! Come along, my dears!
It's time to head to the concert hall!
We need extra rehearsal time.
Why?
I pulled some strings.

You've got several more

numbers in the concert.

Which means…
the show is twice as long as usual!

-(groaning)

-(nervous chuckling)

Ooh!
Wow!
(slurping)
I gotta say, this is the life!
(Sparky babbling)
(grandiose music)

Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you all so much for braving the snow

to attend to our joyous and wonderful,

wondrous and joyful

You're in for a treat!

Tonight's show will be extra special.


We will be taking you through the entire

history of Wishentines of yestermoon.

Now, we will begin with Act One of six--
Six?!
(voice echoing): Six?!
Yes, six!

Now, it is my pleasure to introduce

our very own

(indistinct babbling)
Love you, Mom! This was, uh…
Amazing! Yeah! Just great.

Yes! So glad we could celebrate

Wishentine with you! Kisses!


Excuse me, where do you two

think you're going in this snowfall?

Maretime Bay! To see the Wishing Star.
We promised Sunny!
Joyous Wishentine, my darlings.
Aww. Thank you, Highness.
Ugh!
We're here! We're here!
Sorry that took so long, Sunny!
We had no idea it would be six acts.
It's okay! You two sang beautifully.

Oh yeah! Zephyr Heights really

knows how to put on a show.


The part where you all flew around

in a circle like an actual carousel?!

I'm still dizzy!
Thank you all, but we have to hurry!
And the snow is… ah!
What is this?
(Zipp): It's a blizzard!
Whoa, it is!

I can't belizzle

it's blizzarding right now!


(chuckling)

Oh no.

Are we gonna miss the star?

(shivering)

Not if we hurry!

We just have to get to the Marestream!
Just one question: where is it?

I wanted so badly for us to get back

in time to view the Wishing Star together.

And now we're stranded in Zephyr Heights

on Wishday, Wishiehoof, Wishentine,

whatever you call it!

We'll find our way back, Sunny.
Yeah! I'm not giving up yet!

Hello? Marestream!

Come out, wherever you are!

(all shivering)
(tense music)
Oh. Frostyshivers to us, I guess.
Huh?
I wish we could just find the Marestream

and get home in time

to see the star together.

(resonating)
(gasping)
(all): Whoa!
(all): Whoa!
(Izzy gasps)
(Izzy): It's magical!
It's a miracle!
It's a magical miracle!
No… it's not! It's a wish!
Just like in the book!
Frostyshivers!
(both): Frostyshivers!
Froztyshivers!

In Grandma Figgy's book,

Fantastical Flurrytales of Wishiehoof,


whenever the Unicorns

wanted snowy weather,

they would try to recite a spell for it.

But it's been ages since Unicorns

in Equestria could harness that ability

because magic was lost!
Now that's it's back…

(gasps)

The unicorns have been doing spells?!

Without even realizing it!
"Frostyshivers" isn't just a greeting…
It's a really, really old snow spell?!
Uh-huh, exactly!
That's why we're having this snowstorm!
Wow.
Detective Zipp does it again!

But the Unicorns don't know

they're doing spells!


You're right. I think we should

make one more stop

before we head to Maretime Bay.
(engine roaring)
(shivering): F-f-frosty… sh-shivers!
F-f-frostyshivers!
(all shivering): Frostyshivers.
F-frostyshi… shi-shivers.
Wait! Everypony, stop saying that!
Stop saying that! It's Jinxie!
It's causing the snowstorm!
What…?

You're all casting

an ancient Unicorn spell!

Yeah! So don't say "Frostyshivers"!

(gasps)

See?!

Well, then, what should we say?
Uh… how about, um…
Warm Wishiehoof?
Warm Wishiehoof?
Uh, Warm Wishiehoof?
Warm Wishiehoof to you!
Warm Wishiehoof to you!
It's working! Keep saying it, everypony!
Warm Wishiehoof!
Warm Wishiehoof to you!
Warm Wishiehoof!
Warm Wishiehoof to you!
(laughing)
(all cheering)

Phew! I was starting to think

I was going to break my snow shovel.


Or my back.

(bones cracking)

Yeah! We did it!
We've gotta get back to Maretime Bay!
Yeah, so we can celebrate!
(bright holiday music)
I can't believe we're here!
What a great idea, Sunny,
and we had time to do everything!

(gasps)

I didn't have time to do everything!


-What do you mean, Iz?

-Ugh!

I didn't have time to get you presents!

I'm probably the only one

that's empty-hoofed.

I also forgot!
Ditto, sis!
Oh no, I did too!
Me too.

Oh, it's okay!

We don't need to exchange gifts.

Because we have each other.

-That doesn't really count, though.

-Sure it does!

Hitch shared his special family tradition,

Izzy showed us the mystical

Wishing Tree all lit up,


and Pipp and Zipp gave us

the gift of music!

So much music.
But the best part is…

we got to experience

the holiday together!

Which is all I really wanted anyway.
A magical time spent with all of you.
(all): Aww!

(giggles)

What's your gift, Sunny?

Glad you asked.
Wait for it.
Wait for it…
Continue to wait for another second
and…
now!
Wow!
(resonating)
(Sunny): Our cutie marks!
Whoa. That was pretty cool.
So what'd you wish for, Sunny?
It already came true.

Wait! I just remembered I did

get you ponies something else!

(humming)
Ta-da!
For you, and you, and you!

-Thanks!

-Thank you, Izzy!

Thank you, Izzy!
Surprise! Nimbustratuses!
Oh…
Wait, what?
You know, air from the clouds!

Zoom and Thunder said

those were your favorite kind!

(all laughing)
I love it!

Thank you all

for the perfect holiday.

Aw. Cheery Wishday, everypony!
(Sparky babbles)
(both): Joyous Wishentine!
And Frostyshivers!
(together): Izzy!

(laughs)

Oops!


And Warm Wishiehoof

to all ponies.

(babbling)
(upbeat music)
