[Pinecone] "Lance or not."

Sandpaper.

Sandpaper.

[sighs] Wood glue.

Wood glue, coming in hot.

Paintbrush.

[whinnies]

[laughs] Uh, I'll let
you hang onto that.

[grunts]

And finally, every work
of artneeds a signature.

Well, what do you think?

Good enough for the
Lance-MakersCraft Fair today?

Are you kidding?

It's good enough to winthe
Loveliest Lance award.

Thanks, bud. I love it too.

And I couldn't have done
itwithout my amazing team.

The glue on this
still needs to dry,

and I have to goto town
square to help set up.

Would you bring the
lance to my booth?

I'm on it.

Warrior's word.-[both] Whoo!

[giggles] Mmm.-Mmm.

Cool. See ya.

Isn't Mom's new
lance awesome, Pony?

She looks so heroic with it. [Grunts]Like
a knight from the days of old.

Or like the warrior
from my Herios box.

[Pony whinnies]

It is I, Queen Kimya.

Mother of Pinecone,
defender of Sturdystone,

teller of pretty good knock-knock jokes.
Teller of pretty good knock-knock jokes.

[exclaims, chuckles]

Behold, my lance.
Behold it if you dare.

Whoa, whoa!

[gasps]

[screams]

[gasps] Uh.

[gasps] Phew.

That was a close one,
Pony. Imagine if it...

[farts]

Broke.

[screams]

This is a disaster!

What are we gonna do,
Pony? Think, think, think.

You wanna tell Mom? But
she loves this lance.

If she found out I broke
it, she'd be so disappointed

she might never let us
helpin her workshop again.

Exactly. Which is whywe've
gotta fix it ourselves.

Mom will never know this happened.

And later, you and I will
havea big laugh about it.

[laughs]

Like that.

Here's the plan.

Step one, take the
lanceto the repair shop.

Step two, they fix it.

Step three, Mom winsthe
Loveliest Lance award,

and everybody is happy forever.

[snaps fingers]-Sound good?

[whinnies]

[screams] Hide!

Step four, do all of the
abovewithout Mom seeing us.

Follow my lead. [Grunts]

[shouts] Boom.

Made it to the lance
shoptotally undetected.

Hi there.

Whoops. [Chuckles]I
gotta stop doing that.

I'm Lance, of Lance's Lances, the
finest lances in all the lance.

By which I mean "land."

Care to take a chanceon a fancy lance?
Care to take a chanceon a fancy lance?

Actually, we need
you to fix one.

[grunts]

Well, then you've come
to the right place.

My motto is, "Every lance getsa
second chance here at Lance's."

Let's see what
you got. [Screams]

Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. This
won't do. This is way too broken.

I wish I could help you, but you'd haveto
be a magician to fix this disaster.

Hmm.

I don't know any magicians,
but I do know a wizard.

We all know wizards. [Grunts]No
need to brag about it.

[Greymoon] Of course, I could
use magic to fix your lance.

In fact, the fixing spellis one
of the easiest spells I know.

This is great. We'll have Mom's
lanceback to normal in no time.

[chuckles] Indeed. In
just a few short years.

Years! I can't wait that long.

[slurps, smacks lips]

Kids today… [slurps]
…so impatient.

It's just that I need itfor the
Lance-Makers Fair this afternoon.

Oh, sorry, but there's no such
thingas a quick fix spell. Believe me.

I tried it on a broken teapot once.
So many spouts. No way to pour.

Well…

Thanks anyway.

Or…

Or? Or, or?

Or I could cast a
look-alike spell.

Now, it wouldn't fix your lance,

but it would make a
lancethat looks just like it.

I'd need a piece of the
original lance, though.

Sure, coming right up.

[blusters]

What's wrong?

Greymoon said it'll
lookjust like Mom's lance.

She'll never know
the difference.

Please, Pony. I gave my word. I
really don't want to let her down.

We'll do it!-[Greymoon] Great!

Because I already started making
itwhile you were talking. [Gasps]

[sighs] The feather
of a phoenix.

The petals of a Starflower.

[giggles]

The howl of a hero.

[hero shouts]

[gasps] Good howl.

And a piece of the
objectthat you need copied.

Hmm.

There's only one
more ingredient,

and it's the most
difficultto retrieve of all.

Water.

[blows raspberry] Water?
That's not hard to get.

Easy for you to say.
I've got a bad back.

I need five buckets.

Once you have it, I
shall complete the spell.

No problemo. We'll just
hit up the town fountain.

- [whinnies]-[gasps]
- Which is in the middle of…

The town square, aka Mom central.
The town square, aka Mom central.

We'll have to go right past her.

But that is no problem

for two of the stealthiest
warriorsthe world has ever...

[Pony whinnies]

[gasps] No, Pony. Eyes on
the prize. Eyes on the prize.

[gasps]

[moans] Oh!

[Pinecone] Yes,
perfect disguise.

[gasps]-[Pinecone] Pony.

[Pony whinnies]

[Pinecone] Ow, Pony.

Hmm.

[Pinecone] Pony! [Grunts]

[Pinecone] Pony.

Four and five.

[sighs] You did it. [Smacks lips]

Yay.-[smacks lips] Mmm. Mmm!

And with some deliciousice
cream residue. [Smacks lips]

And now, to conjure
your look-alike lance.

Fire burn, cauldron bubble.

Take this lance and
make its double.

Greymoon, you're a genius.

Now Mom will never need to
know that we broke her lance.

[chuckles] Genius? Oh, well. Wayne
the Magnificent did once say...

[door slams]-And you're gone.

All right, let's give it up for
Garthorand his lance, Rhapsody in Glue.

[cheering]

[Pinecone] Hey, Mom. [Pants]

Hey, you made it. Whoa,
what happened to you two?

[chuckles] We had to, um,

go on an epic quest of epicness?

Huh? Sounds epic.

[blusters]

[Lance] Our next presenter is a
three-timeLoveliest Lance award winner.

Give it up for Queen Kimya!

You two wait here. When I
cue you, bring up the lance.

Yeah. Go, Mom! Whoo-hoo!

Hello, lance enthusiasts.

Are you ready to
lance?[cheering]

I've made many lances
over the years,

but this one holds a special placein
my heart because it's the first one

I've made with my
daughter, Pinecone.

[sighs]

When I look at it, I
don't just see a lance.

I see memories of making
lanceswith my mom.

And the memories I hope my daughterwill
have of making lances with me.

So without further ado,

I'd like to invite Pinecone up
hereto share our very special lance.

[neighs]

Thanks, pal. Thanks, pal.

Hey, everybody.

I came here to bring my mom thiswhen
I should have brought her this.

[crowd gasps]-[man]
First one was nicer.

Hey, what happened?

I was playing with
it, and it broke.

I tried so hard to make you a new one,
but it's just not the same. I'm sorry.

[sniffs] I know how
muchyou loved that lance.

I loved it because we made it
together. But we can make more.

Really?

Of course, bud.

I only wish you told me sooner becauseit
looks like you've had a rough day.

[sniffs] Our epic questwas
more awful than epic.

That's okay.

Just, next time
you have a problem,

don't feel like you
need tohide the truth.

We're in this together.
Warrior's word?

Warrior's word.

[blows raspberry]

Yeah.-Yes!

I do not want to hide the truth
either. I don't know what a lance is!

My lance is just a bunch
ofhot dogs taped together.

[cries] My name
isn't even Lance.

[blows nose] It's Paul.

[crowd crying]

[chuckles] You know what? [Chuckles]I
think our lance looks pretty cool.

[Pinecone] It's
definitely one of a kind.

[Pinecone] "Treat
your creature."

[snoring]

Wakey, wakey!

[whinnies, blusters]

I made your favorite breakfast.
Oat mush with some carroty flair.

Yep, thought that
might do the trick.

Happy Treat Your
Creature Day! [Chuckles]

And since Treat Your Creature Day isall
about celebrating our animal friends,

aka you, I've made a list of all of
our favorite things to do together.

[grunts] First, we're gonna go
smellall the flowers in the meadow.

Then we'll roll aroundin the
biggest mud puddle we can find.

Followed by a
carrot extravaganza.

And finally, we'll finish the
daywith our very favorite activity,

wishing on sh**ting stars.

[whinnies]

[laughing]

So, you ready to start
your special day?

[shrieks, laughing] Whoa, Pony.

[gasps] Look, Pony, everyone's
outcelebrating with their creatures.

There's Gladys and Dustin.

Excellent work, Dustin!
Put your coil into it!

And look, Moss made his cow Sessiea
very special dairy-free sorbet.

Hey, Pinecone. Hey, Pony.

Hey, Hawthorn.

Happy Treat Your Creature Day.

What are you and Blaise up to?

We're starting offwith
a game of hopscotch.

Blaise is really good at
hopping. It's a toad thing.

[chuckles] Well,
have a good one.

We're on our way to the meadow for
somesweet, sweet flower-smelling action.

Have fun. I think Annabelle and
Paragonjust came from there.

[laughing]

[gasps] Whoa. So fancy.

Is that your treat for Paragon?

One of them. Check out my plans.

[Pinecone] Gourmet breakfast?

Marble statue carving?
Your own traveling band?

That's some pretty fancy stuff.

Well, Paragon and I havesome
pretty fancy tastes.

[Annabelle] Besides,
Treat Your Creature Day

is all about makingyour
animal friend feel special.

It's not like we're gonna dothe
same stuff we do on any other day.

[whinnies]-[laughs]

So, what special thingsdo
you have planned for Pony?

[chuckles]

Uh, too many to name, but they're
all very special and fancy,

just like me and
Pony.[Sessie moos]

[chuckles] Yeah, we'd better go.

Lots of fancy stuff
to do. See ya!

Forget these boring
old plans, Pony.

I'm gonna make todayextra
special for you.

[blusters]-Isn't this
so much better, Pony?

Could we keep the movementto
a minimum, please?

Oops. Sorry about that, Garthor.
Oops. Sorry about that, Garthor.

[gasps]

[sniffs]

[Pinecone]We can sniff
flowers any old day,

but today we get to
be a work of art.

[gasps]

[Pinecone] It's like
looking in a mirror.

It's nice to see a
couple of art lovers

out enjoying the day,
just like me and Bootsie.

We love painting. Don't we, boy?

Breathtaking, just breathtaking.

[laughs]

Now this is how you
do mud. Hey, pal?

Huh?

Uh, we're gonna needsome
more cucumber slices.

Maybe just bring
the whole cucumber.

Yep. Who needs to roll
aroundand play in the mud

when you can just lie
here doing nothing?

[yells] What was that?
[yells] What was that?

Pony, we're not supposed to...

[gasps] Oh, you're
going to get it.

Take that, Pony! [Laughing]

[spa customer]Hey, who
got mud on my mud mask?

Uh, consider it my treat.

Instead of the
carrots we always eat,

I decided to make youa
fancy feast for the eyes.

Isn't it pretty?

[Pinecone] So, what
should we do next?

Shop for
jewel-encrusted saddles?

Discuss modern literature? A third
fancy thing I can't think of?

Pony?

What's wrong?

We've been doing Treat Your Creature
Daybigger and better than ever before.

The sky?

What are you... [people
in parade cheering]

Huh?

What?

No big deal, just a paradefor my
best friend. No big deal, everyone.

There was no parade
in your book.

Well, not in the one you saw.

It was in Perfect Plans
for Paragonvolume two.

It's a ten-volume set.

Man, Annabelle really knowshow
to treat her creature.

Whoo, I'll say. Reba and
I just love a parade.

Oh, Reba, they waved at us. [Laughs]What
a day we're having. Oh, what a day.

Hmm.

[neighs]

I'm sorry, pal.

I thought I was making
todayspecial for you,

but now I know
where I went wrong.

I should have made todaysuper-duper,
ultra, mega-special.

I'm gonna throw you the biggest,
fanciest party Sturdystone has ever seen!

[whinnies]

Hey there. How's it going? Nice
to see ya. Thanks for coming.

Hey, Mom, could I get an ETAon
the float for Pony's big entrance?

Yeah, just finished. With
Hammer's help, of course.

Awesome. And now to getan
update on the music sitch.

Hey, Pinecone, Blaise had a great
ideafor Pony's entrance music.

[Hawthorn] Take it away, sir.

[beatboxing]

You two sound amazing.

We love jamming together.
Blaise is a creative genius.

[croaks]

Oh, don't be so modest.

You really went all outfor
Treat Your Creature Day.

I didn't know Pony was
into fancy parties.

I mean, today is his
special day and...

And you can't get anymore
special than this, right?

I think it's time we got
this partyofficially started.

Hey, Greymoon, is the
eagle in the nest?

It sure is.

Great. Hey, Gladys, could
you call this party to order?

Of course.

Everyone make haste and
gather.[crowd gasps]

The time for fun is nigh.

Welcome, Sturdystonians.
This Treat Your Creature Day,

I wanted to celebrate my pal, Pony,
in the biggest way I could think of.

Ta-da!

[crowd gasping, cheering]-[party
attendee] How fancy.

And now, put your hands, hooves,
wings, and whatevers together

for your guest of honor…

Pony!

[people at party
gasping, muttering]

Pony?

Greymoon, I thought you
saidthe eagle was in the nest?

Yes, the eagle atop
the Jagged Mountains.

He's always the... Oh, I see.
You meant, "Is Pony in position?"

Mmm.-No, he's not.

That's okay.

He must have been so excited,
he forgot to get inside.

Please enjoy some Pony Brew,
and I'll be right back.

The eagle thing was
confusing. Am I wrong?

[meows]

When was the last
time you saw him?

Huh. Well, it was only a
few…[gasps] …hours ago.

I've been so busy organizing this party,
I... I didn't even notice he wasn't there.

I just wanted to make
todayspecial for Pony,

like Annabelle was
doing for Paragon.

But Annabelle and
Paragonlike fancy stuff,

[Hawthorn] and what's special for
somepeople isn't special for everyone.

Back me up here, Blaise.

[croaks]

[sighs] [sighs]

Hmm.

I think I've madea
party-sized mistake, Hawthorn.

We all make mistakes.

I suggested to Blaise that we
playleapfrog, and as a toad,

he did not appreciate
that.[croaks]

Besides, Treat Your
Creature Day isn't over yet.

I just wish I knew where he was.

[gasps]

[breathes deeply]

Pony, sorry I ruined
your special day.

I should have known
the most special part

was doing the thingsthat
are special to us.

Is there anything, anythingl
can do to make it up to you?

- [Pony whinnies]-[laughs]
- [Pony whinnies]-[laughs]

[sighs] Right back at ya, pal.

[gasp]

That's the best idea
I've heard all day.

[sighs]

Who needs all that fancy
stuffwhen you've got this?

Well, I guess some fancy stuffcan
be nice from time to time.

Ooh, that was a
nice one. [Laughs]
