It was a few minutes to midnight when Jiminy’s eyes slowly opened. He couldn’t sleep with the clocks ticking and all the pendulums swinging at once. He tried to close his eyes deeply till a loud ticking noise woke him up. When clock shaped like an owl ticked, swinging its eyes left to right, Jiminy did the same with his eyes. When two other clock’s pendulums swayed side-to-side, Jiminy did the same with his eyes. And when two other clocks’ pendulums swayed randomly, Jiminy did the same with his eyestill he got dizzy. As he shook his head, it was clear Jiminy was not amused. Another sound drew his attention, he searched till he saw it was an hourglass dropping sand, piece by piece. Getting rather frustrated, Jiminy put his hat over his head to shield himself from the noise. But it only got worse when a loud snoring sound was heard. He pulled his hat up and saw Geppetto making funny noises while blowing his hair. Cleo was making loud bubbly noises with her snoring. Even Sunset started talking in her sleep, talking louder, and louder, and louder, until finally, having enough of the ticking and the snoring and the talking, Jiminy took a big deep breath.
"QUIET" He shouted, and at midnight sharp, all the the clocks stopped ticking, the snoring ended, and Sunset stopped talking in her sleep. Jiminy then put his hat back in place. "After all, enough’s enough." He started going to sleep at last, but is suddenly awaken by a light getting brighter and brighter by the minute. "Now what’s up?" One by one, the bright light woke everyone else up, ending with Sunset, who started talking in her sleep again.
"Five more minutes, Princess Celestia." She said tiredly. "I don't wanna go to magic school." She soon woke up, the whole group saw a strange light, a brilliant glow which grows more dazzling every minute. It is the Wishing Star, and it was coming towards the window.
"Hey, what’s going on here?" Jiminy asked.
"I don't know, but we better hide, just in case." Sunset answered. The group did just that. Jiminy and Antonio hid in a wooden pipe, while the girls and Spike hid in a set of wooden teacups all set in a row. in the center of the glow appeared a very beautiful woman dressed in robes of flowing blue with golden hair, beautiful wings, and a magic wand.
(Pause at 0:30)
Jiminy and Antonio peeked out from under Jiminy's umbrella. "Is that what I think it is?" Antonio asked in disbelief.
"As I live and breathe, it is!" Jiminy said. "A fairy! Mmm-mmm!"
"Badda-Boom, Badda-Bing!" Antonio replied. Meanwhile, the girls had peeked out of the wooded teacup, one by one, with Spike peeking out from behind Twilight's head.
"Did she just emerge from the star?" Rarity asked in amazment.
"I think so." Applejack said.
"What's she doing here?" Fluttershy asked.

"Don't you remember?" Twilight answered. "She's the Blue Fairy. She's the one to give life to Pinocchio. Just watch and you'll see." So they watched as the Blue Fairy approached the sleeping woodcarver.
"Good Geppetto." She said in a kind and gentle voice. "You have given so much happiness to others. You deserve to have your wish come true." She then turned to the puppet. "Little puppet made of pine, awake. The gift of life is thine." She then touched the little puppet with her wand, and there a bright light filled the room. Pinocchio then starts coming to life as he moves around and sits up before rubbing his eyes.
(Pause at 1:03)
"That's amazing!" Spike said.
"Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. "It must be suprising to come to life just like that."
(Resume video)
"Whew!" Jiminy said. "What they can’t do these days." Looking around the room, Pinocchio started blinking his eyes and rose his wooden arm up.
"I can move!" He said before covering his mouth, suprised that he said that. "I can talk!" The Blue Fairy chuckles a bit as the little wooden head stood up. "I can walk!" And he did walk a little before falling down again.
(Pause at 1:21)
"Well, he can stand any way." Sunset said.
"Gotta learn to stand before you can learn how to walk, that's what I say!" Pinkie replied, before being shushed by the group. "Sorry."
(Resume video)
"Yes Pinocchio." The Blue Fairy began. "I’ve given you life."
"Why?" Pinonchio asked in curiosity.
"Because tonight, Geppetto wished for a real boy." The Blue Fairy explained.
"Am I a real boy?" Pinocchio asks in amazement, as the group of little people met up with the cricket and the grasshopper to get a better look at things.
"No, Pinocchio." The Blue Fairy answered. "To make Geppetto’s wish come true will be enterely up to you."
"Up to me?" Pinocchio asked.
"Prove yourself brave, truthful and unselfish, and someday you will be a real boy." The Blue Fairy explained, getting Pinoke all excited.
"A real boy!" He said in excitement.
"That won’t be easy." Jiminy whispered to the group.
"Whaddya mean?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"You must learn to chose between right and wrong." The Blue Fairy explained.
"Right… and wrong?" Pinocchio asked while looking at his hands. "But how will I know?"
"How’ll he know!" Jiminy replied in disbelief.
"Yeah, that's what we wanna know." Pinkie said.
"Your conscience will tell you." The Blue Fairy answered.
"What are a conscience?" Pinocchio asked.
"What are a conscience!" Jiminy said in shock before literally jumping into the conversation with the rest of the group right behind him. "I’ll tell ya! A conscience is that still small voice people won’t listen to."
(Pause at 1:21)
"More specifically, a conscience is an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior." Twilight added. "But there are people that won’t listen to it." Jiminy then pulled up a match box and began to speak his peace, with Antonio standing beside him.
(Resume video)
"That’s just the trouble with the world today." He began before Pinoke became curious
"Are you two my conscience?" He asked Jiminy.
"Who, me?" Jiminy and Antonio both asked back before turning to The Blue Fairy, who had a very good idea.
"Would the two of you like to be Pinocchio’s conscience?" She asked Jiminy and Antonio with a smile, getting the little cricket and grasshopper rather nervous
"Well…" Jiminy Cricket began, all the while blushing so hard, his whole head turned red, while Antonio just stuttered. In the end though, they both answered with a star struck. "Uh-huh."
"Very well!" The Blue Fairy replied. "What are your names?"
(Pause at 2:26)
"Oh, Cricket’s the name." Jiminy began. "Jiminy Cricket."
"And I'm Antoinio Grasshopper" Antonio added.
"And these are our good friends,." Jiminy said before introducing them. "This is Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Spike, and Trinity." And as he introduced the group to her, they each bowed before her.
(Resume video)
"Kneel, Mr. Cricket and Mr. Grasshopper." The Blue Fairy ordered fairly.
"Huh?" Jiminy and Antonio then knew that she meant and did just that. "No tricks now."
"I dub the both of you Pinocchio’s conscience." The Blue Fairy began as she touched the little cricket and grasshopper with her wand. "Lord High Keepers of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong, Counselors in moments of temptation and Guides along the straight and narrow path." And just like that, while Antonio's clothes remained the same, but just a bit more new, Jiminy's worn out clothes were transformed into a much more formal attire after being cast upon by the Blue Fairy as Pinocchio's conscience; a black formal coat with an orange vest with a single button on the front, a white short sleeve button shirt underneath and a yellow tie on the collar, pale tan pants and blue shoes with yellow spats. His formal hat is now light blue with orange linings and carries a red umbrella while wearing his white gloves. "Arise, Sir Jiminy Cricket and Sir Antoinio Grasshopper."
"Badda-Bing, Badda-Boom!" Antonio said in amazement.
"Well!" Jiminy said in equal amazment. "Ho-ho-ho! My,my! Mmm! Say, that’s pretty swell."
"You two look absolutally fabulous in your new clothing!" Rarity said in amazment, with the others nodding in agreement
"Gee… thanks!" Jiminy said in gratitude.
(Pause at 3:02)
"And I understand that you made a wish as well, young one." The Blue Fairy said to Trinity.
"Uh, yes ma'am." Trinity said. "You see, I feel as if I was meant to do something, but I can't remember what it is."
"I'm afraid I cannot restore your memories, young one." The Blue Fairy said. "But if you can try to keep Pinocchio safe on his quest to become a real boy, I can point you in the right direction."
"Yes, ofcourse." Trinity said. "I'll do all I can."
"We all will." Sunset added as she put her hand on Trinity's shoulder.
"That is all I can ask." The Blue Fairy said before giving Trinity a gold necklase with a star on it.
"What is this for?" She asked in confusion. "What do I do with it."
"When the time comes, you'll know." The Blue Fairy answered before touching it with her wand, causing Trinity's eyes to flash a bit.
"I have just one thing to add." Pinkie Pie said inbetween Jiminy and Antonio. "These two are now conscience guy, but don’t I get a badge or something?"
(Resume video)
"Well, we’ll see." The Blue Fairy answered
"You mean maybe I will?" Jiminy Cricket asked in excitment.
"I shouldn’t wander." The Blue Fairy replied.
"Make 'em gold too?" Antonio added.
"Maybe." The Blue Fairy sai before turning to Pinocchio. "Now remember, Pinocchio, be a good boy. And always let your conscience be your guide." She then disappeared in the same flash of light that she came in.
"Goodbye Milady." Jiminy Cricket said with a tip of his hat.
"Goodbye!" Pinocchio said while waving.
"Goodbye!" Everyone else said with smiles. Sunset then turned to Trinity.
"Do you really think she can tell us how to restore your memories?" She asked.
"I don't know." Trinity said. "But even if she can't, we must keep Pinocchio safe at all costs. It's the right thing to do." Sunset and the other girls nodded in agreement. They and Pinoke then noticed Jiminy and Antonio seeing their new clothes in a reflection.
"Not bad, says I." Jiminy said.
"Fuhgettaboutit, we look spot on!" Antonio added.
"Ahem, are we interupting something" Sunset said to get their attention.
"Oh yeah!" Jiminy said with a grin "Ho-ho-ho! Almost forgot about you." He then to Pinocchio for a moment. "Well Pinoke, ahem, maybe you and I had better have a little heart-to-heart talk."
"Why?" Pinocchio asked.
"Well, you want to be a real boy, don’t you?" Sunset asked.
"Uh-huh." Pinocchio answered.
"Then you'll need to know how to choose right from wrong." Sunset replied. "Jiminy, you may proceed."
"All right." Jiminy Cricket said. "Sit down, son." Pinoke did just that, knocking everyone off their feet. As soon as they got back up, Jiminy sat down on the match box. "Now you see the world is full of temptations."
"Temptations" Pinocchio aske in curiosity.
"It means that the world is full of desires to do something, especially something that is wrong or unwise." Twilight explained.
"Yep!" Jiminy replied. "Temptations. They’re the wrong things that seem right at the time but… even though the right things may seem wrong sometimes, sometimes the wrong things may be right at the wrong time or… visa versa. Ahem. Understand?" Pinoke smiled for a moment, but then had a look of comfusion on his face.
"Uh-uh." Pinocchio said, much to the facepalming of the group. "But I’m gonna do right!" This made them breath a sigh of relief.
"Atta boy, Pinoke!" Jiminy Cricket said in joy. "And we're gonna help ya! And anytime you need us, you know, just whistle like this. He then made a nice whistle sound.
"Like this?" Pinocchio asked before giving it a try, but no sound came out.
"No, no, try it again, Pinoke." Jiminy Cricket said.
"Like this?" Pinocchio asked before trying again, but still no sound came out.
"No, son." Jiminy Cricket before showing him how. "Now listen."
He then whistled three times. Pinocchio tried whistling again, and finally succeeded on the third attempt. "That’s it! Come on, now! Let's sing it!" Jiminy then did a little dance before jumping onto a shelf. He then started singing before taking off his hat and whistling into it, then uncovering the opening to hear a whistle come out of the hat. As the rest of the group danced to the music, Pinoke did the same thing Jiminy did by trying to whistle into his hat, but this time no sound came out, making Pinoke confused and begin to examine it. Jiminy then blew into a jug that made a deep note. He then asks the group of who to ask if their whistle is weak
"Jiminy Cricket?" Everyone asked.
"Right!" Jiminy Cricket he said as he walked down a violin string before sliding up and down it as if he was on rollerblades, then tiptoed up to the center before the string broke and snapped him on the behind. He then played his umbrella like a trombone a few time before looking into a pipe and making an oooh sound before leaping of the shelf. He then started bouncing up and down on a saw that made a high pitched sound at he bounced, before landing on a cucoo clock that looks like a farm and turning the hands to 12:30. He then knocked on the door and lead a small parade that consisted of a farmer, his wife, a cow, and a pretty farm girl, all ringing bells. Jiminy then led the group of wooden bellringers to the other door before noticing the girl. Everwanting to be friendly, Jiminy tipped his hat to the girl with a "Yoo-hoo!" The wooden girl looked at his if to ask him to follow, to which he replied with a "Woo-hoo!" but the door closed before he could go in, causing him to walk into it. Pinocchio sings on last line before stepping into a couple of pails, causing him to start losing his footing.
"Look out, Pinoke!" Jiminy Cricket cried out. But alas, it was to late, for Pinocchio lost his balance and fell clatteringly to the floor, knocking several boxes, cans, bottles and brushes off in the process. The noise was so loud, that it woke Geppetto, Figaro and Cleo right up out of bed. Our small band of travelers decided to hide and remain quiet.
"Who is there?" The woodcarver asked.
"It’s me!" Pinocchio answered with a grin.
"And me!" Pinkie said, who was hiding under Pinoke's hat.
"Ohh, It’s me." Geppetto sighed in relief as he and FIgaro began to go to sleep, only to realize somebody said it and got back up again. "Huh?!" He then looked around before turning to his cat with a very shocking fact. "Shhh, Figaro! There’s somebody in here." Our heroes then came out of their hiding places to watch Geppetto nervously light a candle and putting the match out, before putting his hand under his pillow, only to pull out a blunderbuss pistol.
He then walking around with his candle and gun with Figaro, who was hiding under the pillow, following right behind him before giving a loud meow. "Shh!" Geppetto said while looking around. "Careful now, Figaro. He might spring out on us at anytime." Figaro looked behind him before catching up with Geppetto and staying underneath him at all times. The two of them then snuck up to where Pinoke and Pinkie were hiding and looked around with their backs to them. "He’s in here, somewhere." Everyone else was watching from the shelf and tried not to laugh to loudly. Pinkie then climbed down, and much to the silent motions from the others, walked up to Figaro.
"Here we are!" Pinkie said while tugging the kitty's tail. Naturally, feeling someone tug your tail might make you do exactly what's going to happen next.
(Pause at 0:34 and play this from 0:58 to 1:13)
The cat jumped up Geppetto's back, causing him to jump and shoot his pistol, with the group dodging the bullet as it zoomed through the shelf. The resulting noise caused all the cuckoo clock to go crazy, making a loud noise. When the noise subsided, Geppetto looked around, with Figaro peeking out through his hair, until they saw Pinocchio on the floor.
(Resume video)
"Ohh! Pinocchio!" Geppetto said as he put his candle on the countertop before picking him up. "How did you get down here?"
"I fell down." Pinoke answered
"Oh, you did." Geppetto replied as he fixed him up before realizing the honest truth. "Ohh! You are talking!"
"Uh-huh!"
"N-n-no!"
"Yes, and I can move too!" Pinoke added.
"No, no, no you can’t." Geppetto said before running around the house. "I’m dreaming in my sleep! Oh, wake me up! Wake me up!" He grabbed a vase filled with water before dumping the water out, causing it to splash on himself as well as Figaro. He then shook the water off his hair before turning to Pinocchio. "Now, we see who’s dreaming." Figaro shakes water off his feet as his owner walks to the puppet. "Go on… say something." The little wooden head couldn't help but smile and chuckle at what he just watched, with Pinkie Pie laughing as well from under his hat.
"Gee, you’re funny." "Do it again!"
"You do talk!" Geppetto said in shock
"Yes!" Pinoke explained. "The Blue Fairy came."
"The Blue Fairy?" Geppetto asked.
"Uh-huh, and I got a conscience." Pinoke added
"A conscience?" Geppetto asked as Jiminy and Antonio pointed at eachother.
"And someday…" Pinoke added "I’m gonna be a real boy!"
"A real boy!" Geppetto said as he picked up his wooden son in joy. "It’s my wish, it’s come true! Figaro, look! He’s alive, he can talk! Say hello to Figaro."
"Hello to Figaro." Pinocchio said when his father brought him down. Figaro was a bit hesitant to let Pinocchio pet him, but he allowed it just the same, as Cleo splashes around in her bowl.
"Oh Cleo!" Geppetto said as he lifted Pinoke up, leaving Figaro with a not amused look on his face. "I almost forgot. Look, it’s Pinocchio! She’s my little water baby. Isn’t she cute?"
"Yeah, cute!" Pinocchio answered as Cleo jumped out of the water to kiss him. She then did the same thing to Figaro, who was not so pleased and wiped his mouth.
"Ha-ha!" Geppetto laughed. "This calls for a celebration! Music!" He then proceeded to start up several music boxes. "You start one, Pinocchio." Pinoke started a music box with a penguin leading a walrus band. And as Figaro and Cleo shared a look, Geppetto started dancing with Pinocchio. As they danced, Figaro pranced past a music box with angels, before turning to a music box with birds singing before three chicks shrilled their notes.
"Oh boy, a party!" Jiminy Cricket said before jumping onto a music box with two figures dancing and tapping on the guy. "Mind if I cut in?" He then started dancing with the lady. "How 'bout sittin' out the next one, babe, huh?" But the movements of the dolls are too much for Jiminy as they pin him in. "Whoops! Hey! Whoa! Let me out! Let me out!" The rest of the group couldn't help but laugh as Geppetto played his accordian humming and dancing before going to Cleo's bowl.
"Come, Cleo!" He said. "Join the party! Dance!" He then made a little whirlpool in Cleo's water, which made Cleo spin like a ballerina. Sunset then noticed Pinocchio looking at the candle.
"Ooo nice!" He said in awe. This ofcourse made the group concerned, except for Rainbow Dash, who just rolled her eyes.
"Nobody worry." She said. "I got this." Then, using her super speed, she went to Geppetto's desk, took a piece of paper and a pencil, and wrote a note saying 'Keep your eyes on you're kid.' while Geppetto started collecting toys for Pinoke, who thought the light is pretty and tried to catch it with his fingers. She then slipped it into a place where it won't fall, but at the same time won't block the old woodcarver's view. The old man saw it and turned to the wooden boy, who's finger had caught fire.
"Look!" Pinocchio said, completely unaware of the danger. "Pretty!"
"Oh!" Geppetto said as he droped the toys in a panic. "Help!" He then picked up the little wooden head and tried to blow out the fire, but it doesn't work. "Ohh, where’s the bucket? Help! Water! Where's water?" As he searched for water, Geppetto accidentally steps on Figaro's tail, then the sounds of firefight alarm wailing and bells dings were made by Pinkie Pie for added sound effects as Jiminy Cricket ran around with water in his hat
"Here it is!" He said "I got it! Here’s water. Here’s some water." But he tripped on another pencil and dumps his hatful of water on him.
"Help!" Geppetto said in panic "Where’s water?" He then plunges the burning finger into Cleo’s bowl, filling the whole thing with smoke."That was close. Maybe we better go to bed before something else happens." Cleo then came up to the surface to cough out smoke from the water.
(Pause at 3:46)
"Well, so far, so good." Rainbow Dash said in confience. "That was the easiest crisis ever to be averted."
"Well, I would have done it in a way that wouldn't have Geppetto asking questions, but if it works, it works." Sunset said in a sarcastic manner. Everyone soon started yawning like crazy.
"Ya know, bed sounds like a good idea." Applejack said. "I'm more worn out then a honey bee a sugar rush." And one by one, the group of little people fell asleep finishing off with Jiminy Cricket
(Resume video)
Little man, you’ve had a busy night. Jiminy Cricket yawned before he took his shoes off and went to sleeps in a matchbox. Geppetto then put out the candle and layed down with Pinocchio, with Figaro on the other side of him
"Now, close your eyes and go to sleep." Geppetto said to his new son. But Pinocchio couldn't sleep, because he was filled with curiousity.
"Why?" He asked, causing everyone in the room to look at him.
"Oh, everybody has to sleep." Geppetto explained, with Figaro too tired to listen. "Figaro goes to sleep and Cleo and besides tomorrow you’ve got to go to school." But Pinocchio was once again curious about this thing called school.
"Why?" He asked again, causing everyone in the room to once again look at him, Geppetto in exaustion, Figaro in irritation, and the everyone else in a mix of the two.
"Oh, to learn things and get smart." Geppetto explained.
"Why?" Pinocchio asked again, but this time the group up in the shelves was glad to see the little wooden head so full of curiousity.
"Ahh… because…" Geppetto said, before going to sleep.
"Oh." Pinocchio said before doing the same thing. As Antonio and Jiminy went to sleep, the girls couldn't sleep because they were too busy looking at Pinocchio.
"Do you guys think he'll become a real boy?" Fluttershy asked.
"He will." Sunset said. "If we keep stay close to him."
"What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked in confusion.
"What she means as that we were lucky this time, but he just came to life and is as naive as any other kid." Twilight said. "Who's to say that someone won't take advantage of his naitivity and use it to get him into trouble."
"She does have a point there Rainbow, darling." Rarity said. "We shall have to stay close to him, just as Sunset said."
"Agreed." Applejack said. "We'll stick to him like fleas on a dog."
"Yes, but first, let's go to sleep." Trinity said as the group lay down for sleep.
