Episode 15:



Party Pooped


Between three pairs of eyes and three bodies locked on forward only giving each other passing glances as they all moved ahead. There is Fuli the Lion Guard’s Fastest charging on ahead on land, followed by the Pony Guard’s Fastest Rainbow Dash, with the leader of the Pony Guard just right behind them.

The three were all neck and neck as they all sped all across the Pride Lands borders along with the all borderlines of Ponyville all while everyone watches on and steering clear of them.

For the dummies that were placed in front of their paths, they all weren’t very lucky as they all literally tore through with their hooves and claws. And judging from the many obstacles the alicorn herself faced she sure is laying down a lot of harsh beatings on them and is being very aggressive again today.

From up high floating over the castle, Ono could spot the three tackle down the marathon length obstacle course all while wincing and cringing at every dummy Twilight literally tears apart.

“They’re coming this way now!” Ono alerted everyone waiting for them in front of the Castle for the past three hours.

“Everyone get into position!” Kion said to the rest of the team who all opened the double doors in preparation for their arrival since it serves as the finish line for the speedy trio.

Upon tearing down the last dummies, the three were neck and neck as they all rushed towards the open doors. Upon making one final sprint, they all crossed the finish line at the exact same time just when Pinkie took photos of them crossing the line together.

But knowing Twilight today, she really didn’t care about the outcome nor did she care of how well she did as they all quickly rushed to the showers so they can all get cleaned up all while taking their sports drinks waiting for them with them.

Fifteen minutes later, they all emerged from the showers all smelling fresh and much more relaxed than they were at the beginning of the today, and above all they were all hydrated and relaxed right now.

“Whew! What a workout!” Rainbow remarked as she wiped herself dry with her towel.

“Surely, that should have got it all out your system, Twilight.” Fuli added while shaking her fur dry.

“Hopefully.” Twilight replied still a little unsure even while she was able feel more calm and composed then earlier. ”As long as everything all goes well, we’re good.”

“Still feel things might go south today, huh?” Fuli asked sensing the uneasy reply she gave.

“Yep.”

“Still nervous?”

Spike seeing this quickly rushed to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water for her when she did not give her reply.

“Don’t worry, Twilight.” Kion moved to assure her otherwise. “Everything’s going to be all right.”

“Me?” Twilight brushed it aside showing little nerves in her reply. “No, no, of course not! There's no reason to be nervous. Nothing to worry about. Everything's gonna be fine!" But it was clear despite managing to steel her nerves they could tell that she is still quite visibly nervous deep down.

Pinkie Pie, being cheerful as always carried on like it was just meeting new friends as she moved to help ease her nerves. "Twilight, tell those butterflies in your tummy to beat it! Making new friends is always fun."

"They're probably just as nervous as you are." Fluttershy suggested.

"You've been planning this for weeks." Kyoga added in agreement. "And you know everything about these guys. I think we’ll be fine."

“That’s true.” Ono agreed. “Remember, Equestria and Yakyakistan haven't opened their borders for hundreds of moons. In fact, Yakyakistan is so far north of the Crystal Mountains, nopony's even been there! Imagine the look on Princess Celestia and King Simba's face when they find out we made friends with a yak prince!" However, saying all of that out loud didn’t help the egret himself as he was now started to get nervous himself. "I mean…heh, heh, heh, oh no….” He started hyperventilating briefly before shaking it off. “I’m calm! I'm calm…"

Rainbow couldn’t help but roll her eyes in response. “And here I was thinking that Twilight would be the one freaking out here.”

“She won’t!” Kion asserted before turning back to Twilight. “She has help with her who’s going to help her every step of the way.”

Just then Spike blew the trumpet as he stood by the doors, with a long red silk carpet rolling onto the castle floor. Hearing this means that the yaks have just arrived and are walking inside. 

Two large harry creatures walked into the room, both with long beards and bangs, covering their eyes, wearing golden anklets, bracelets around their beards, sporting large majestic horns and golden earrings. They both stepped aside to make way for another yak standing behind them. Said yak’s fur was slightly lighter than his comrades, wearing a robe over his large back and golden accessories on his horns, along with a crown. Said yak is the leader of the yaks, Prince Rutherford.

"Ponies! Greetings, ponies!" He said, speaking in a powerful voice that was loud enough that anyone from the farthest point of the building can hear it.

Twilight and Kion both approached and bowed to him with the former greeting him first, "Prince Rutherford, your Majesty. On behalf of all of us, we welcome you to Equestria."

"Me honored." The yak prince said. "Yaks hope for great friendship between ponies and yaks. Friends for a thousand moons!" His voice loudly stated to the point Twilight had to make sure she still had her hearing.

"Allow me to introduce to you my best friend along with the Leader of the Lion Guard, Prince Kion who represents the Pride Lands, home to the African animals and culture."

Kion bowed to him similar to how he does to both Princesses Celestia and Luna. “Hello. On behalf of my father it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Prince Rutherford inspected the young lion cub as he leaned down to his eye level. "Yak thinks lion prince is young and cute for his age."

“Okay…” Kion said while still smiling albeit forcibly feeling half complimented yet somehow half-insulted. “…and thanks.” But none of the less, still a good start.

"You must be hungry after a long journey." Twilight said as Spike pushed forward a large table of assorted food, said food that yak’s like them eat, at least what they’ve heard. "We've prepared a banquet of traditional yak foods."

Prince Rutherford inspected the offering, but it was hard to tell whether he is pleased or not for his eyes covered. "If things not perfect, yaks get mad. Yaks always get mad when things not perfect!"

Ono gulped nervously, having hoped he had done his research alongside Twilight correctly, just when it seemed things will go smoothly.

Prince Rutherford sniffed what appeared to be some kind of rounded sampling sprinkled with green spices. He took a bite, chewed on it and then spit it right out in disgust. The ball went flying, hitting Ono right in the face, knocking him down  to the ground like a big splat similar to a certain plankton.

"This no taste like yak food! Fake pony food make yaks mad!"

In a fit of rage, the yak prince tossed the table over with his horns and his fellow yaks joined in. The others watched in horror at the way there were all trashing the palace, literally tearing the palace room apart like it meant nothing to them.

Never before have they seen such a rampage. It was exactly like with the crocodiles but for very, very, petty reasons. It wasn’t simply just for selfishly trying to take over for what they felt was right, but more of a simple and unnecessary tantrum over food that just wasn’t up to their standards.

Twilight looking on very annoyed and disgusted with their behavior took action. She flew up into the air, unleashing her most powerful voice to command them to stop in their tracks.

“ENOUGH!” Twilight shouted with her Royal Canterlot Voice.

The yaks, all looked on at the stern and fierce scowl the alicorn princess was giving them having ceased their rampage as all eyes were focused on her.

“Okay. So the food wasn’t exactly quite up to your standards, believe me I get it and we're sorry for that, but trashing this castle which for the record happens to be mine? That was unacceptable and I demand that you all cease this behavior this instant!”

For a moment, everyone looked on in awed and scared silence. They have no idea what is going to happen next. Thankfully, the yaks bowed with respect to her as they all obeyed to her demands.

“Very well, Princess…but yaks will not go easy again should yaks not like what we see next time."

“Understandable, but yaks will behave themselves as much as ponies do.” Twilight calmly and firmly returned to make it clear that what she is saying to them is not a request.

The three yaks nodded in agreement before they all moved to exit her palace.

Ono spoke up once the yaks had left. "Is now a good time to be concerned about their visit.” Just after he peeled himself off of the wall he got hit on the head by another piece of splattered food that made it’s way to the ceiling.





The group got to work, cleaning up the mess the yaks had made. Fluttershy, Ono, and Rainbow Dash fixed the tapestries and the curtains while Applejack and Beshte hammered the broken rails of the indoor balconies, Fuli and Kion helped Spike sweep the broken shards while Fuli and Rarity tried to glue the broken vases together.

"Them yaks sure have a funny way of sayin' "howdy." Applejack said while Beshte held the nail in place so she can hammer it in.

"They're different, that's all." Rarity said while she glued the vase back together and placed it back on the pedestal, "Very… different."

"I think they broke my record for most stuff broken in under a minute." Rainbow Dash added. "I mean, they even broke the trophy." She showed them the broken trophy, which literally is now in pieces on her hoof.

"Good thing Twilight was able to stay calm and get them to be calm." Bunga happily added before quickly adding upon the looks he was getting. “For now.”

“Amazingly…” Kion commented in agreement yet bewildered that actually happened. “…it actually is.” He turned to her as she is inspecting the work in progress. “…how did you do it?”

Twilight just looked on without any emotion before turning back to her friend. “Let’s just say I had good practice in dealing with these kinds of situations lately.”

Having an idea of what she is talking about, he simply nodded. “Enough said.“

“Right.” She smiled with a more upbeat attitude as she explained why. “And I’m not going to worry over one little rampage since we have the whole day to prove to the yaks that our friendship is worth seeking. So…” She held up a huge book with her magic. “…who read the seven-volume cross-indexed history of Yakyakistan I recommended?"

Most the group aside from a few cringed, unable to look her in the eye and answer the question honestly. 

"Kyoga? Did you read it?"

“Of course…” Though she couldn’t help but admit finding the book a little too long and boring for her taste. “…though I may have…skimmed it a bit."

The only one who had the guts to reply without any hint of nervousness was Pinkie Pie, who hopped forward with excitement. "I did, I did! Did you know they live so far north of the Crystal Empire that it's cold all the time? Yaks have yak fur to keep them warm." She demonstrated this by wrapping her head in Fluttershy's mane.

“Of course they do.” Ono replied like it’s nothing new to him. “Common knowledge really.”

Just then she suddenly appeared from underneath Applejack's hat, also startling the country pony. "I know! Yaks are so cool!"

In the process, she accidentally bumped into Beshte who bumped into the walls causing the vase Rarity had just glued together to tumble and crash to the ground.

“Oops! Sorry, Rarity!”

“Not your fault darling.” She sighed heavily yet irritably with her anger more focused on Pinkie than Beshte.

“Of course!” Kion exclaimed upon getting an idea. “Pinkie Pie knows all there is to know about the yaks, she can show them around town.”

“Great idea, Kion!” Beshte smiled already liking the idea.

“And so can Ono.” Kion added before the egret can protest his decision before turning back to Pinkie trying to make sure she is okay with this. “Pinkie…I know you have to plan the friendship party too, but it would really help make them feel welcome. Can you do that?"

"Don't worry. They'll be in good hooves with me."

Twilight floated over to her and in front of everyone for further instructions. “Remember, we want to make sure Equestria feels like home. That means doing everything we can to make this place feel like Yakyakistan."

"No problem!" Pinkie saluted with great confidence.

"Good. Let's get out there and make some new friends!"





First on the agenda was to find the perfect place for the yaks to sleep in. Applejack, Ono, Beshte, Bunga and Pinkie Pie took them to Sweet Apple Acres, where they would sleep in the barn.

Applejack removed her hat to the yaks in respect. "We know y'all are noble warriors who avoid the so-called finer things, so me and my family would be honored if you rested here in the barn during your visit."

Pinkie Pie hopped towards three beds, made out entirely out of hay with a pillow on each one, "Applejack and I made hay beds like you're used to back in Yakyakistan."

Prince Rutherford examined the barn and the beds before speaking up of his thoughts. "Hmm…This perfect."

"Yeah it is! You can snooze here all afternoon," Bunga offered. "'And that’s a good thing cause you're gonna need a lot of energy for our party tonight!"

Applejack sighed in relief. "That wasn't so hard." She whispered to her friend thinking things are all good now. But unfortunately, she had spoken too soon when the yak prince sniffed out the thread with what he said next.

"Wait!" Prince Rutherford licked the hay bed and immediately lost his temper again. "This not yak hay!"

“Hapana!”

Beshte quickly moved to calmly explain why. "Well, we didn't have actual hay from Yakyakistan, but we tried our best to make it just like yours." All while both the nervous hippo and country pony both slowly backed away with the former leading Pinkie away by wrapping her hoof around her shoulder.

"Not perfect! Yaks destroy!"

"Wait!" Bunga called out to the yaks making them stop right where they are. "Remember what Princess Twilight said? You wouldn’t want to be frightened by her again right? Trust me, you don’t want to do that!"

The three yaks looked at one another before their prince spoke. "Very well…”

The four friends sighed in relief…

"Yaks smash hay beds!"

The three yaks roared and grunted in anger as they started jumping up and down in the hay beds, destroying them. The four friends all galloped and ran away as the three rampaged once again.

“So much for near-identical substitutions!” Ono exclaimed before flying off to report this to both Kion and Twilight.

"Pinkie Pie, what do we do?!"

Pinkie pondered for a moment before coming up with another idea.





Out in the woods, Pinkie had Fluttershy present an animal show for the yaks. The pink pony stood before some curtains hung on the trees with Ono and Fuli there to assist her.

"And now, for your entertainment pleasure... Presenting animals, Yakyakistan style!"

The curtain opened with all of Fluttershy's adorable animals all appearing all wearing yak antlers. In addition, Fluttershy had a blanket set up for the yaks with tea and cookies.

"Animals cute." Prince Rutherford complimented already liking what he saw so far.

Fluttershy wiped her forehead in relief. "Oh. Thank goodness."

However, one of the ducklings tumbled and his yak horn fell right off, peeving the yak prince off once again.

"Wait. These antlers lie! These not Yakyakistani animals! Yaks smash!"

"Wait! Stop!" Ono appeared in front of them again. 

"Princess Twilight will be here if she hears about this." Fuli sternly reminded.

Once again, the yaks all backed off. "All right then."

Ono, Fluttershy, and Fuli all sighed in relief…

"Yaks smash picnic!"

Fluttershy quickly flew her animals to safety up onto the tree while the yaks destroyed the picnic all while the others were scared out of their minds.

“Geez, I’ve heard of tough crowds, but not tough and rude rolled into one.” Fuli remarked with disgust at their behavior.

Pinkie Pie appeared from the branches looking increasingly worried. "Okay, well...There's still other things we can do. I think."

“Better hope so, before both Kion and Twilight get involved in this.” Ono advised before moving to report this to both the prince and princess again. “Otherwise things are going to get really ugly.”

“You think, Ono?!” Fuli asked glancing in his direction just before he could fly off.

“Nope! Definitely!”





Pinkie took the yaks to Rarity's dress shop where she presented them a stunning sparkly blue fabric she had just bought with Kyoga there to assist them.

"Yes! These are some of my favorite materials. Very rare, imported from the Crystal Empire to match your northern sensibilities. I hope you'll find them—" The unicorn was both shocked and disgusted by the yaks upon finding that they are literally eating her fabric. "…delicious."

Of course, the yaks were not pleased in the slightest by the taste.

"This no taste like yak fabric! Yaks destroy!"

"Hold it!" Kyoga sternly glared at them while showing them a magical visual of Twilight to non-verbally remind them of what would happen if she found out about it.

"Fine. Fine..."

Rarity sighed in relief, but Pinkie knew what was coming next when Kyoga moved to throw up a protective magic shield around them. 

"Wait for it…" Pinkie warned when…

"Yaks destroy fabrics!"

They started taking all of the imported new fabric and started stomping and ripping at it, leaving the rest of the store intact but knocking down manikins around the room, still causing mayhem inside. 

Pinkie Pie still tried to remain positive but it was getting harder with every attempt to appease them failing and failing every single time. "Everything's gonna be fine. You'll just... make it up to them. Somehow."





Next up, Pinkie Pie enlisted both Rainbow Dash and Ono’s help in manipulating the weather, so the yaks could feel more at home.

"Listen up! Tell your faces to hold onto their frowns, 'cause they're about to get turned upside-down!"

"Hold your frown, face!" Prince Rutherford, sternly replied with a matching expression with his eyes temporality shown and sharp ready to spot any more small imperfect details to rage upon.

Ono nervously gulped while briefly biting the feathers of his wings before floating to Rainbow’s side.

“Hit it, Ono, Rainbow Dash!"

Acting on their cue both Ono and Rainbow pushed a gigantic cloud over the yaks and kicked it at the same time, causing a large blanket of snow to fall all over them.

"Just like Yakyakistan snow, right?" Pinkie Pie asked with her trademark smile. "Because snow is snow, no matter where it comes from."

She gave the two fliers a high-five as thanks for their help. But, unfortunately it didn’t last long when Prince Rutherford got a taste of the snow and once again got mad.

"This not yak snow!"

The yaks roared and grunted, hitting the snow repeatedly. On the bright side this time around Pinkie didn’t need to warn them of Princess Twilight since the snow is only thing they are raging on. Not that it did them any good anyways.

"Seriously?!" Pinkie Pie planted her face into the snow, "…Seriously?"

“Hapana…” Ono grunted as he repeatedly slammed his face into the snow clearly dismayed that nothing has gone right for them today. “…why?! Why?! WHY?!”





Back at the palace, the whole team was gathered together where the Lion and Pony Guard all sat on their specifically-marked thrones.

Kion spoke first, "So, how's it going so far?"

Applejack cringed as she responded unconvincingly. "Y'know… it's goin' okay."

“They sure are something!” Bunga said with forced thumbs up following Applejack’s example

"Satisfactory, I'd say." Rarity added in agreement.

"Could be better." Rainbow Dash commented next.

“Couldn’t have said it any better.” Fuli said in agreement.

"It's not very good." Fluttershy honestly commented while hiding her mane in her face.

“Can’t say it is.” Beshte replied in agreement with her.

“Are you all kidding me?!” Ono exclaimed rather exasperated at their lack of honesty in the matter after all witnessed what had just happened earlier.

"It's a disaster!" Pinkie exclaimed in a panic.

Kyoga spoke next. “Everytime we try to appease the yaks there always is something that sets them off and resort to trashing the place around them. Very little and petty things I might add. They’re lucky that no one was around to get hurt but I don’t know how much more it is worth putting up with!”

Now Kion was starting to feel on edge. “Okay…okay. No problem, we can still fix this.” She then turned to the party pony. “Pinkie Pie, tonight's Yakyakistan theme party is more important than ever! You'll make them forget all about this afternoon, right?" Everyone's eyes looked at Pinkie Pie, each one both hopeful but also fearful. But Pinkie was also on edge too since her left eye is now twitching. "Because if it's not perfect, they're gonna smash everything! And if I’m not sure how much more smashing I can take before Twilight goes all crazy on them like she did with Kiburi!” He was now sweating hoping that the alicorn princess isn’t getting offended in the slightest. “If you know what I mean?”

The others looked at her worryingly as she still looks on calm and collected about the whole thing. “Yes, but that’s not going to happen…” Everyone looks on still anxious feeling it is another more terrifying way for her bomb to go off with no telling when. As she took in her deep breathing exercise the others backed away slowly in case she really does explode. “…we still have time to make this right.”

“Or at least time to avoid being in range for another ugly blood brawl.” Ono commented now sweating and biting his feathers again. He then turned to Pinkie practically begging of her to come up with a solution that’ll work. “Please tell us you have a way to avoid that!”

Pinkie Pie gave a reassuring smile as she replied. “I definitely will! I think. Maybe…?"

“Of course you will!” Bunga said with great confidence while patting her on the back somewhat roughly. “You're the best party planner in all of Equestria and the Pride Lands. If anyone can show them a good time it’s you!"

"You can do it!" Fluttershy said with a smile.

"We have absolute confidence in your abilities, Pinkie Pie." Rarity said, also smiling in agreement.

With so much support and eyes looking right at her, there is so much pressure on her plate right now, now she is not sure if she can take it.

"It's going to be my most happy-tacular party ever! I hope!" The pony smiled widely at her friends, but her eyes shifted around nervously unable to stay in place.

"Why are your eyes darting around like that?" Ono asked.

Pinkie briefly stopped her shifty eyed antics, still keeping up her forced smile to look happy for their sake. "It's what I do when I'm not nervous! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" she laughed hysterically.

Twilight upon sensing the stress her friend is now having moved to try to help ease her tensions. “Pinkie…are you sure you’re up for this? It’s okay to be…”

"Of course I am! Gotta go!"

Pinkie quickly rushed right out of the room, leaving the rest of the group behind, looking concerned and worried for their friend.





Back in her room, Pinkie was laying on her sofa, hyperventilating. This was now all too much for her. Parties use to be fun, but now it has become an event where the fate of two potential friendships depended on it. She’s really having a difficult time figuring out how to appease them without peeving the yaks off and getting her friend Twilight to go off the deep end again.

"Gummy, what am I gonna do? I had all this amazing stuff planned for the party, but they're gonna hate it!"

While she spoke, Gummy blankly stared out the window at a fly buzzing around, before sticking his tongue to try and catch it for lunch. Pinkie moved to slide down from her sofa before jumping back up.

"There's no way to make Equestria feel like Yakyakistan. They're just too sensitive! Even Fluttershy made them mad! Fluttershy!"

She walked on over to the window next to Gummy, where she saw both Twilight and Kion giving the yaks a tour.

"Oh… I need a new idea, and I need it now. How am I supposed to make this party feel like Yakyakistan without actually going there and bringing something back?!"

Gummy simply stood there before sticking out his tongue at Pinkie's nose, which was stuck there for a few seconds. Then, suddenly, Pinkie Pie inhaled a large gasp as she suddenly adopted a more upbeat attitude as she got a new idea in her head.

"Gummy, you're a genius." She kissed her littler gator's head before zipping away with a new idea in play and ready to act fast upon it.





"And this is Sugarcube Corner." Twilight showed the yaks the candy styled bakery, "They're working hard to make your traditional Yakyakistan cake."

"Vanilla extract balance very tricky." said Prince Rutherford, and his yaks both nodded and muttered in agreement.

Kion looked on between both the yaks and Twilight and couldn’t help but feel his heart his racing due to his own nervousness. He then decided to politely excuse themselves from the room. “Uh, do you mind, um, waiting here for one moment?" Using his magic, he teleported them both to Pinkie's room. "Pinkie, we need to talk. I know you're busy with the party and all but…." They both saw that said pony is not even in the same room as them.

"Pinkie?"

"Pinkie?" Twilight called out for her. "Where are you?” She turned to Kion. “Where did she go?!”

“I don’t know!” Kion returned now starting to lose his cool more and more himself. He ended up frantically scratching the wood on the floor with his claws now trying to keep himself from exploding just when the rest of the Guard arrived.

"Did you find her?" Twilight asked.

Fluttershy shook her head as she is the first to answer. "Angel and I searched the forest, but…"

"Aerial recon turned up nothing either." Rainbow Dash added.

“I checked every corner of Equestria and the Pride Lands, no sign of her.” Ono also added.

“I know that for a fact!” Bunga agreed while munching on grubs. “It’s true I was there!” He quickly stated defensively.

"I searched the farm inside and out." Applejack reported. "No Pinkie Pie. But I did find a set of Granny Smith's dentures under the house, so... not a complete loss."

“Lucky you…” Fuli sarcastically remarked before moving to give said dentures that she found when they bit her tail under the bed. “Ow…” She groaned when Applejack reclaimed them.

“Sorry there partner.” She sheepishly said as she winced at the poor cheetah’s bite marks on her sensitive bones.

"She's simply vanished!" Rarity exclaimed upon realizing what has happened.

"But the party! It's all we have left! What are we gonna do?!" Kion asked now at the end of her rope along with everyone in the room.

The only one not losing it is Twilight who moved to try to get everyone to keep it together. “For starters, we’re going to find out what happened to Pinkie Pie.”

“And just where do you think she might be, huh?” Ono inquired rather agitated. “Ready to rain on our parade from the ceiling?” Right on cue, Gummy landed on Twilight's head. “With Gummy?” He looked around the whole room before telling everyone. “I didn’t mean him, literally!”

Gummy stuck out his tongue, where he had a note attached to it to which Twilight pulled so she can read it. "Don't worry. I'll be back in time for the party. Love, Pinkie Pie."

"Does it say where she was going?" Kion asked. Unfortunately for him, Twilight shook her head.

Twilight placed Gummy back down and addressed to the others, "If Pinkie Pie says she'll be back in time for the party, she'll be back. We have to trust her. Right?"

"Right! No reason to freak out!" Kion was still clawing the floor anxiously with the idea of another yak rampage and Twilight unleashing her dark powers on them very fresh in his mind.

“Easy…” She gently urged him to stop.

"Twilight’s right!” Applejack agreed. “When it comes to parties, I think she knows what she's doin'."

“Has never disappointed a single pony and Pride Lander in her life.” Beshte added in agreement.

Kion retracted his claws as he moved to calm himself down. "You're right, Beshte. Let's just focus on keeping the yaks happy 'til she comes back."

“Yeah!” Bunga agreed. "It'll be a piece o' cake."

The prince and princess's eyes widened in realization just after he said that. "The cake!"

Bunga laughed nervously at the glaring eyes in his direction, particularly Fuli, before accepting what’s coming to him. “All right let’s have it.” Without hesitation, Fuli swiftly slapped him on the back of the head for his big mouth who likewise winced in pain when it happened.

“Are you ever going to learn, Bunga?”

“Maybe, maybe not.” He honestly replied given that learning his lesson is always a constant struggle, especially when he barely puts effort into it. 





Mrs. Cake cut off a large piece of the cake with white frosting she had prepared for the yaks. Even she was terrified of what would happen if it was not to their liking. "One bite, and you'll be transported right back to Yakyakistan." She laughed nervously as she offered the prince his slice. "I hope."

Twilight and Kion magically appeared beside her as they hoped they got it right this time as the yak prince opened his mouth and ate the piece in one single bite. He chewed on it for a moment before shouting at them.

"Ponies too heavy on vanilla extract! Yaks smash!"

“Oh no you don’t!” Twilight firmly stated upon appearing right in front of them. “This is the Cake's home, you can't smash this place!”

The yaks were left intimidated once more before their prince found his inner voice to use against her. "Yaks been patient with you all day! Yaks now tired of listening to you!”

Twilight however wasn’t about to take that lying down as she kept herself right in the prince’s face. “Well you better keep on listening, or else you will answer to me! Is that understood?!”

“Fine, yaks will back off, this time, or else yaks declare war on ponies!”

The yaks left, but not without taking the cake as they exited the bakery, and proceeded to smash and trash it once they were outside of the building thus scaring away the nearby ponies. 

Both the prince and princesses winced and groaned at the sight.

“We've never needed a party so badly." Kion remarked as he feels like he is going to pass out from the stress of all this.

No matter what they did to try to earn their friendship, they find some way to offend them for the slightest reasons they could think of.





Meanwhile…

"Next stop, Crystal Empire!" The conductor said to the passengers of the train Pinkie Pie was currently on. The pink pony was on a personal solo quest to put a patch on this. She looked out into the window as the scenery bypassed in front of her. Her eyes looked on serious and focused as she gave herself her own speech.

"And so my quest begins. I know what you're thinking. "Why go to Yakyakistan alone, Pinkie Pie?" Because I'm the party planner. This burden falls on my rump and my rump alone." She made her point by rubbing her rump, "If I want a great party, I gotta climb the mountains north of the Crystal Empire, find Yakyakistan, and come back with something authentic!… Know what I mean?"

She said the last part with a smile at her current traveling companion whom she encountered on the train ride.

"I totally get it! And the best part about is that I completely understood every word of it!”

"I still can't believe I ran into you Makini."

"I know, and on the same day I was heading for a royal meeting with Princess Cadance at the Crystal Empire. Who would have thought that would happen?" She pulled out some dirt and ashes from one of her gourds before showing it to Pinkie. "I’m headed on over there to work on an experiment with the princess. Apparently from what I’ve heard that with alicorn magic it can used to identify old bodies. Not just old bodies, but dead bodies, like fossils and old dinosaurs. I mean it would be crazy if this happened to be dead ponies from who knows when. But I still so, so, excited to work on this experiment with her!”

She nearly dropped her findings and her staff when the train came to an abrupt and sudden stop. Pinkie nearly fell off of her seat before looking out the window. 

Instead of the Crystal Empire like they expected, they were now in the desert, Appleloosa. 

“Uh…” Makini scratched her head after carefully putting the dirt and ashes away. "Did we go the wrong way?" The train doors opened as she stepped out and looked around her surroundings. "Where's all the snow?” She squatted down and examined the dirt. "Is this some kind of magical sand-colored snow." She stuck his tongue out to lick the substance…only to spit it out immediately. "Nope. It's sand. Definitely sand."

Pinkie Pie rushed to the conductor to ask. “What’s going on here?”

"Dodge City. End of the line, I'm afraid. All trains had to stop. Sheep decided to sit on the tracks." He pointed to said sheep on the tracks. 

Pinkie Pie waved her hoof into the air, shouting angrily. "Curse you, sheep!" She shouted…right switching back into being happy. "Thanks for you help, conductor. Come on Makini, let's find another way to get to the Empire." She hopped along with Makini running after her.

“So since the train ride’s out, how are we going to get to the Crystal Empire now?” 

Pinkie suddenly stopped when the door to an outhouse busted open right in her face where a certain and familiar female earth pony she once met before emerged from it.

"Cherry Jubilee!"

"Pinkie Pie?! I reckoned I eyeballed you crossin' my way right now." She happily greeted up being her up to her hooves

"It's great to see you! This is my friend, Makini."

Makini gasped in delight. “I know you! You’re the pony who’s well-known for her wonderful cherries from Cherry Hill Ranch!”

“That’s right! The one and only! And I’m sure your friend told you of the time she and her friends were here when Applejack came to work here briefly.”

“She sure did! And wow, that was sure a great story to tell!”

“Yeah it was.” Pinkie agreed before moving to get things on track. “So anyways, how are you? You look amazing! I need help." She said the last part rather desperately.

"I'm dandy as a daffodil and fit as a floribunda. What can I do ya for?"

"Have you heard of Yakyakistan? Do you have any idea how we can get there?"

Luckily they had good fortune on their side. "Mark your calendar, missy, 'cause this right here's your lucky day! I'm headin' north to the Crystal Empire myself for a delivery."

Cherry lead the two to her horse drawn carriage, which was filled with barrels and buckets of cherries, and four strong stallions were pulling the carriage. She then said this as she jumped onto the drivers seat. 

"I ought to warn you though – me and the boys are powerful tired 'cause we was up all night countin' cherries." She noticed one of the boys taking a nap on the job. "Hey there! Wake up!"

"Counting cherries?" Pinkie asked as she and Makini got onto the carriage. "How many?"

"Four hundred and seventeen thousand, two hundred and thirty-four." She yanked into the reins, commanding the boys to gallop along. "Yee-haw!"

The ponies galloped ahead on and across the desert planes. Makini moved to wave her arms up into the air like she is riding a roller-coaster back in Ponyville, while Pinkie Pie continued to monologue about her journey.

"And so my quest resumes. As I stare across the endless desert, I tell myself I will soon triumphantly enter the homeland of our noble guests and return with a prize to make the best party they've ever seen… Know what I mean? Cherry?" When she turned to her driver when she asked the last question, she suddenly noticed that Cherry had dozed off….and so did her stallions…while they were still running.

When Makini opened her eyes her cheerful joy turned into sudden terror. “Whoa! Ravine!” Said ravine is large and only a few feet away from them. “Pinkie! Quick! Wake them up!” She moved to try to hit the brakes on their ride before they all are in for a fatal plunge in the abyss.

Pinkie tried using an alarm clock, throwing a bucket of water at them, even banging on the said bucket, but none of them got their attention.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

Just when it seemed they were all about to go under, Pinkie quickly moved to pull on the reins, which thankfully woke the stallions up one by one in time.

"Stooooop!" Pinkie cried out, and the ponies all came to a screeching halt at the very tip of the ravine. The impact caused the ponies to flip over and land onto the carriage, which woke Cherry Jubilee when it happened.

"Huh?! Whoa. I was dreamin' about a ravine." She looked down and screamed in terror when she realized what was in front of them. "Ravine!"

"That's what I said." Pinkie stated…right before the edge gave way and the carriage fell, along with the ponies and mandrill.

“Hang on!” Makini cried out while clinging onto her staff with full determination not lose this one.





Elsewhere in order to keep the yaks distracted for a bit longer, the Lion and Pony Guards had Spike play a private concert for them. He played a large wooden piano for them on a stage. The yaks cried at the beautiful melody, wiping away their tears and blowing their noses with tissues.

"Music beautiful." Prince Rutherford cried tears of joy. "Much soul." At least the yaks have appreciation for classic music.

Kion wiped away the sweat from her forehead, and Twilight sighed in relief. So far so good.

Once Spike finished playing, he took a bow. "When Twilight told me to stall— I-I mean, entertain you, I thought there's no way I could—"

Suddenly, the piano started to play…all by itself. This took the yaks by surprise once they opened the back of the piano, only to find that it was self-playing. The dragon had tricked them.

"Piano play itself?! Music a lie!"

Kion angrily turned to Spike upon this revelation. "You got a fake piano?!"

"I was desperate!” He apologetically explained. “You know I can't play when I'm nervous!"

The yaks leaped into the air, destroying the self-playing piano. Spike was flung into the air, only to be caught by Twilight. Once the dust cleared, the piano was left crumbled into small splinter sized pieces.

"We demand party! Party now or yaks no friends!"

"No! Just a little longer!" Kion pleaded.

"No more longer! Prince and Princess out of time! We leave now! Yak go to train, return with more yaks! We declare war!"

The three friends gasped in horror at this declaration.

“You really want to go that way?!” Twilight exclaimed just barely keeping her patience with them. “Because in case if I hadn’t made myself clear, challenging me is a very, very, bad, idea!”

“Pony princess dare challenge the prince of Yakyakistan?!” He angrily roared in the princesses face as he prepared to march on over to her ready to fight her. “Yaks now ready to settle this right now!”

“NO!” Kion quickly flew over and got in between them just when the alicorn princess was ready to leap into the fight. With deep grunts and growls of anger boiling over, dark clouds formed around him from behind.

Realizing what is happening, Twilight quickly swooped in to grab Spike while forming a protective magical barrier around themselves along with the yak as Kion unleashed the dark Roar of the Elders on them.

The Roar unleashed another powerful gust of winds that would have sent everyone flying away had Twilight not put up her protective shield. It’s also a good thing she has become more powerful than the last time because otherwise she would be out cold by now. It created a brief storm and crater crack in the middle of the ground they were standing on along with lightning striking the nearby stage and chairs.

After Kion was done roaring in a rage, he angrily marched up to the now terrified yaks with a good mind to chew them out for their behavior. 

“You all better understand one thing! You do NOT threaten my friends and family especially after we’ve been nothing but try to be as friendly as the next nice guy and girl in line! We’ve put with your constant rampaging and your attitude! And now I’ve had it! If you lay so much as a single hoof on Twilight or anyone I know, you will answer to me.” He stated with gritted teeth and bared claws. “Do I make myself clear!” After a few seconds with no response. “ANSWER!”

“Yes…” The yak prince complied while whimpering. “Yaks no declare war!”

He led the other yaks on away from the scene completely terrified out of their minds of what had just happened.

After Kion had calmed himself down, he suddenly looks on in horror with what he just did with the Roar along with witnessing both Twilight and Spike’s stunned shock at what he just did. A young lion cub, literally unleashed with the most terrifying roars and threats they have ever heard. They knew that Kion would never go through with it unless he had no choice, but he sure would have made good on it if he wanted too.

“Twilight…” Kion stammered as he struggled to explain himself. “I…I didn’t…I’m sorry I…” Unable to explain himself and still mortified with what he just did, he flew off ahead in complete shame.





Kion flew around Ponyville frantically trying to find Pinkie Pie. Twilight flew after her and up beside her. Deep down, Twilight was impressed with how well he’s been getting the hang of his new alicorn powers. A great turnaround from the day he ended up losing control over teleporting.

“Kion!” She called out to him upon catching up to her. “Where are you going?”

"Trying to find Pinkie Pie! Because of me the yaks are not going to seek out our friendship!"

“But if you hadn’t did what you did, then the yaks would on their way preparing for war against us. You knocked sense into them.”

"Yeah, but I also drove them away. I let my anger get to me, again. I even lost control of the Roar, again."

"There was nothing else you could have done that would have made it better. It was either they’re weren’t going to be friends with us or them risking pursing a one-sided war against us. Though admittedly, we all did screw this up. Maybe if the yaks had learned to be more patient and we learned to be ourselves in pleasing them then none of this would have happened."

Before Kion could even bother to counter-respond he ended up coming across some of the Guard covered in paint, balloons and confetti upon arriving at Sugarcube Corner. "No Pinkie Pie? What's this?!"

Applejack laughed nervously while she tried to paint a banner with her hooves, "Heh-heh. We panicked and tried to plan our own party."

Rainbow Dash rolled down from the roof, wrapped in party paper. "It's sort of panic-themed."

Now Kion was feeling more disheartened with himself more than ever. "The yaks are going home! This is awful! I wanted to surprise Princess Celestia and my dad. Now the only surprise is that I may have just permanently ruined any chance of creating a friendship with them."





Elsewhere, Pinkie Pie bravely walked over the cold snow as the winds bellowed blowing her mane, all while continuing to rapid-fire monologue her most recent adventures.

"There we were, face-to-face with Falling Pony Ravine. Down, down, down! And then, suddenly...Pow! We were rescued mid-air by the Wonderbolts!" Her tone changed to happy briefly. "And then they gave me a ride to Manehattan, I joined a traveling band, we played some shows here and there, got popular, almost made it big until creative differences tore us apart." She turned back to serious. “And that's when I knew I had to get back on with my journey to the Crystal Empire, the gateway to Yakyakistan! And so here I am. It was a major adventure that took most of the afternoon… Know what I mean?"

Standing beside her was Princess Cadance and Makini, with the latter clinging onto her staff and very thankful she didn’t lose it this time as the alicorn pointed to the hilltops.

"This is it. The northern boundary of the Crystal Empire. Beyond lies Yakyakistan. Nopony who's attempted this climb has ever returned. Are you sure you have to do this?"

"I do." Pinkie replied with great certainty looking up in the kingdom’s direction without fear.

"Very well. Good luck, Pinkie Pie."

"And don't forget to tell us all about!" Makini shouted after her. With it now just the two of them she turned to the princess waking beside her ready to discuss her findings. "So anyways, Princess Cadance, I got the dirt and ashes just like we talked about."

“Yes that’s right. You did talk about it…” She added with a somewhat forced smile. “…Non-stop during the last time we saw each other.”

“I know right! I’m sorry I can’t stop rambling I’m just so excited to conduct this experiment! I can’t wait to discover whose ashes these are.”

Cadance still kept smiling in a friendly manner knowing that she means well even if she does have a tendency to go on and on from time to time.

“Well I’m sure whoever or whatever it is, it is a discovery you’ll never forget.”

“Same here.”





Back in Ponyville, Kion looked out the window in Pinkie’s room just when Ono flew back inside having checked every inch of both kingdoms…again. “Any sign of her?”

“No, Kion. I looked everywhere! Still no sign of her!”

“But this doesn’t make sense. How could she be so late to the party? This isn't like her."

"I'm sure she's trying her best." Beshte said while trying his best to gently assure and calm his despairing friend.

"Pinkie Pie's tougher than she looks." Rainbow Dash added in agreement.

“She’s tougher than tough, stronger than strong, she is Pinkie Pie!” Bunga also said with great enthusiasm.

But Kion still continued to feel bad, "I know you're right, but... I wish she was here. I put too much pressure on her. I let everybody down. And the alicorns along with my mom and dad will be here any minute and see the damage I’ve created."

He was so upset with himself that he punched the floor and ended up triggering the trap door opener. Before anyone else who’s heard it could react, they all found themselves screaming as they all fell through the trap door when it opened inside a dark tunnel.





Meanwhile the snow had risen, and Pinkie Pie's body was buried to the point only the top of her mane was seen. She heard a roaring sound and jumped her body out of the snow. She looked up and saw a gigantic cave before her, no doubt where the roar had come from. In the dark opening, she saw a pair of red colored eyes.

"Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie! I'm looking for Yakyakistan. You know, faraway land, lots of yaks? Maybe you've heard of it?"

The roars became louder once the giant creature came out. It was some kind of fierce creature with no ears or tail, a coat of white fur, gray skin on the face and under the paws, red eyes, and a red marking on the top of his forehead. It roared right in Pinkie's face, causing her mane to turn messy briefly.

"Whoa-ho-ho! Slow down! I can't understand a word you're saying—"

The monster growled once more, cutting off a piece of her mane. But Pinkie remained unfazed. The creature raised its paws high, ready to lay down a fatal strike. Pinkie Pie leaped up into the air, got her legs moving like wheels before sprinting on ahead all while burying the creature completely with snow in the process. In addition she ended up kicking a big rock in his direction which landed on his head and knocked him unconscious. 

Pinkie breathed in relief before galloping on ahead. Just then, she saw what she looking for up ahead.

"There it is! Yakyakistan!"

As she galloped she almost crashed into a young adorable little yak on his sled, only to accidentally hitch a ride with him. His helmet landed on her head and the two slid down the slope, up a cliff where the sled rested on the other side. 

The main entrance to Yakyakistan with its kingdom was surrounded by a large wooden gate, where the little yak opened up, giving her permission to come inside. For Pinkie Pie it was a dream come true…

…only for the ice beneath the sled started to crack. The sled fell and began to slide all the way backwards…away from Yakyakistan.

"Noooooooooo…!"

Her cries echoed across the land as she slide pass the now conscious and confused monster's cave. 

"Noooooooooo…!"

Both Cadance and Makini were startled when Pinkie Pie came sliding backwards down the slope and right by them. The ride continued on as the sled bypassed an equally surprised Cherry Jubilee in Manehathan, even the still stuck train back in Appleloosa. The ride carried on as her screams echoed.

"Noooooooooo…! "





Inside the black darkness around them…

“Is everyone okay?” Kion asked as his eyes darted around looking for the others.

"Yeah!”

“Uh-huh!”

“I’m okay!”

“Affirmative!”

During this, Bunga had time to comment. “Ow! I think I landed on someone’s head.”

“Yeah!” Fuli’s voice spoke up irritably. “My head!”

“Well, I guess that makes us even!” He said rather smugly. Unfortunately for Bunga, Fuli was within range to give him another well-deserved head slap. “Ow! Darn it!”

“Girls?”

“I can’t tell if my eyes are open or closed.” Fluttershy commented as she blinked.

Rainbow Dash tried to walk through the crowded room. "I think I can see a little bit." She said as she tried to navigate her surroundings, only to crash into something. "Gah! Nope."

Luckily for them Ono was able to find the light switch. “Found it!”

Once the lights came on, the Lion and Pony Guard now marveled all wide-eyed at their surroundings.

The room was brightly colored with all sorts of balloons, candies, plastic wrap, cakes, pastries, wallpapers, presents, party favors, plates, cups, confetti and streamers everywhere, shelves filled with party hats, and gifts. On the walls were notes and drafts as well as filling cabinets and a long yellow slide, which was how they got in.

“Hevi Kabisa!”

Never had they seen such a remarkable place that fits Pinkie Pie’s festive style.

Applejack opened the cabinet and found an entire assortment of files. "Look at these! Pinkie Pie's made files for everypony in town including everyone in the Pride Lands!"

Fluttershy joined in by singling out a single folder. "For all of us! With exactly what kind of parties we like."

"Pinkie Pie has a secret party-planning cave?!" Rainbow exclaimed very excited to see it herself. "How cool is this?!"

Fluttershy began reading the file she pulled out loud, "Twilight Sparkle likes vanilla ice cream, red balloons, dancing..."

"That's right!" Twilight smiled in agreement.

"But she's afraid of quesadillas."

Twilight looked on embarrassed as she eyed the others looking at her like it’s an absurd phobia. "No, I'm not! They're just so... cheesy." She shuddered on the last word.

Bunga was about say something when Ono quickly interrupted with. “Don’t say it!”

“But I want to say it!”

“Don’t…”

“But it’s such a cheesy thing to be afraid of.”

To emphasize how bad of a joke it was, a pie from out of nowhere was thrown at the same time a rim shot from out of nowhere was played.

“For once I am glad for that.” Ono commented feeling pleased with what he saw.

At the same time…





"..oooooooo! "

Now she found herself back in her room at Sugar Cube Corner in less than half the time it took to get her there. She planted her face on her bed in despair with that sudden turn of events.

"No! I'm all the way back where I started! Gummy, I was this close to helping Twilight befriend the yaks. Now I've just let everypony down."

She was just about ready to give up, until she heard muffled chatter coming from underneath the floorboards.

She went down the slide to her secret cave and saw that her friends have managed to discover it. She quickly hid behind the balloons being unable to face them all now, not after her most recent journey all for nothing.

"Looky here." Applejack told everyone while showing them a list, "It's notes for the party she wants to throw for her folks' fiftieth anniversary. But they ain't nearly that old! Huh. She's already plannin' their one-hundredth too. And their five-hundredth?"

"I had no idea she worked so hard on her parties." Twilight commented pretty impressed herself.

"She may be more organized than you, Twilight." Rainbow Dash said with a teasing nudge.

"Let's not get carried away."

"Suddenly it all makes sense." Kion commented with praise. "Throwing parties is her passion and really makes a living out of making everyone happy."

Pinkie Pie couldn't deny the tears rolling down her eyes right now upon hearing these heartfelt words of praise.

"I just wish Pinkie Pie were here so we could tell her how much we all appreciate her hard work." Rarity said sadly with her ears lowered to match her mood.

"Thank you!" Pinkie Pie released the balloons she was hiding behind to reveal herself having tears of joy falling from her eyes. "Thank you! I love you too! All of you!"

"You're back!" Twilight happily greeted when the pony hugged her and Kion.

“Where were you?” Kion asked.

"I tried to go to Yakyakistan so I could bring something back for my party. But at the last second, I made a mistake." Pinkie sighed sadly. "I worked harder on this party than any party ever. But I'm still just a big failure."

"Pinkie Pie, you're not a failure." Twilight assured otherwise.

"What matters is how hard you tried." Fluttershy added in agreement.

"Who else would've gone all across Equestria to plan one party?" Fuli asked seeing how much of a testament it is to her own commitment.

“Certainly not me.” Ono commented unable to dream of doing it alone.

Pinkie knew deep down that’s true and that was coming from best and true friends she’s ever had.

"You know... the trip was really hard. But everybody I met along the way was so helpful. I just wish the yaks could see how friendly and wonderful and great Equestria really is!" She gasped when she a light bulb shined behind her head which glared it's powerful and bright light across the room causing everyone else to shield their eyes from it.

“Oops, sorry!” Kyoga commented having just fixed and adjusted that light bulb hanging over the ceiling.

Never the less, Pinkie still spoke her mind with her newest idea. “I just got the best party idea ever!”

Twilight was optimistic, Kion however looked down in shame.

"But it’s too late. The yaks left on the last train."

"Um, no, they didn't." Pinkie assured as shed jumped up to the slide, "Trust me! There are a whole lot of sheep out there!" She happily slide backwards up the slide while the others just looked on with confusion.

Fluttershy then asked. "So, um, do we walk back up the slide or... or what?"

“Apparently.” Fuli said. “Like we have another choice?”

“How did she even…?” Ono felt the need ask how that is even possible.

“It’s Pinkie logic.” Twilight reminded. “You’re better off not questioning it.”

“Affirmative.”





At the Ponyville train stop, Prince Rutherford yelled at the conductor, "Yaks stuck here?! Why trains not work?!" He was even more surprised when he heard another voice coming from behind him.

"I never thought I'd say this, but... thank you, sheep!" If there was misplaced hurdles placed in front of her that could come in handy, now was the perfect time.

“Listen…” Twilight said as she moved to float over to them. “…I know we all got off to a really rocky start and for that I apologize on behalf of Equestria. But I promise you that if you hear us out once more, then I’m sure you’ll find friendship here is worth pursing.”

Pinkie Pie jumped up and down in agreement. "Yeah! And if you give us another chance, we can show you. Because, it's party time!"





And just like she promised everyone was in for the party of the lifetime. With balloons, game booths, and everything anyone could ask for at a party, it was all a big success. Even the yaks were all having a good time by the time, Simba, Nala, Celestia, and Luna came over having just getting acquainted with them.

"Wow, Pinkie. This came together quick, even for you." Twilight complimented her friend.

The party pony smiled in response. "What can I say? I'm good at what I do." With that, Pinkie walked over to the yak princes, "Prince Rutherford, every time we tried to make something in Equestria feel like Yakyakistan, we couldn't get it right. When I got back from my adventure, I realized something. We shouldn't try to make Equestria feel like your home. We should try to make you feel at home in Equestria."

“And by that we mean showing you why we love it here, so you'll love it too." Twilight chimed in.

Prince Rutherford looked all around him, removing the hair from his green eyes. He saw how much every pony and Pride Lander cared for one another. Even if the Lion and Pony Guard may have made a mistake in trying to please them, their hearts were still in the right place. And the yaks may have been wrong in smashing everything they didn't like just because it wasn’t perfect to the point of declaring an unnecessary war on them. And even with all that has happened they still gave them a chance to seek their friendship.

The prince wiped away his tears, happy tears being very moved by what Pinkie had did for them. "Ponies and Lions work hard to make yaks feel at home. Now yaks happy. And yaks no declare war."

Kion sighed in relief before realizing that both his parents were right behind them along with the alicorn sisters who all looked confused and alarmed to hear something along the lines that nearly happened.

“Long story. And before you even start, it was me not Twilight who exploded in the heat of the moment.”

Suddenly the yak prince suddenly pulled him in for a surprise hug along with Twilight. “Yaks glad that both prince and princess helped us see the error of our ways. And for that yaks apologize for the trouble yaks gave you.”

“Apology accepted.”

“If you let us go.”

Before doing so he had this to say.

"Ponies and yaks... friends?"

"For a thousand moons?" Pinkie asked hopefully.

"For a thousand moons!"

At the wonderful announcement, everybody cheered happily. 

Celestia placed her hoof on Twilight's shoulder, "I am very impressed, princess. You did a wonderful job. You and your friends."

“And the same can be said for you to Kion, or more accurately, Prince.” Simba added equally proud of him. “You are learning well.”

“Yeah.” Kion agreed while Twilight smiled proudly too. Deep down it seemed that brief rage breaking point to knock sense into them wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

"Pink pony…” The yak prince then said after letting both the prince and princess go. “...You understand yaks now."

"Aww, come here, you!" Pinkie Pie hugged the prince's large furry body, but then stopped when he didn't hug back. Only to find herself pulled in for a tight hug with the pink pony’s eyes herself nearly bulging out for once.

"Wow! Too strong! Okay, okay, okay!"





All while the festivities were going on, they were of course being watched by the careful eyes of Scar from the outskirts of Equestria. After having seen enough, he moved to focus his magic on spying on both Princess Cadance and Makini with the former using her magic to help the latter with her experiment. One that had a shocking discovery as evident by the widen eyes of the two as they both gasped in shock of what they had uncovered. And judging from the smirk on the lion’s face, he had just discovered some new and vital dirt that he can use against a certain foe of his…
