TRANSCRIPT
[The title screen appears and fades as we see Peppermint running, almost tripping on his hoof.]

Kazzaroo [Voiceover]: Ponyville. A place where Ponies are known for their fun adventures and hobbies. Fun things where no matter how small can be done in BIG ways. And when I mean big, I mean TOTALLY big. Take my buddy Peppermint here for instance! Hold on, I don't think you know who I am? Well let me give you the picture. My name is Kazzaroo, and let me tell you that today is gonna be one very VERY big day. And I really do mean it! Just like a... Giant locket full of them if you know what I mean! Are you ready? Come on! I have tons to show you! This way now! To Ponyville!

Peppermint: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight don't be late! And that's how you do scotchball! What's up Kazzaroo? What's new by you?

Kazzaroo [Voiceover]: Meet my good pal, Peppermint.

[Peppermint bumps into many ponies, as he bumps into Rainbow Blitz, Vases on his head fall as Peppermint catches them with his head and tail. Ponies cheer.]

Kazzaroo: Nice save Peppermint!

Peppermint: Yeah!

[Peppermint strikes a pose and bows, but drops and smashes all of the vases. Except for the green one, which he catches.]

Kazzaroo: Obviously no matter what, he had to save the green one. Yes, yes, yes! One could say my good friend Peppermint has a case of a green eye!

[Kazzaroo takes out his book]

Kazzaroo: In case you haven't got it by now, I'm the official Ponyville Surprise document organiser. A really big job for a pony like me! You gotta be on time and keep watch for all of Ponyville's big birthdays and surprises! But if you want to know what all of the ponies like and they're birthdays, you gotta take note. And that's why I always keep around The Ponyville Surprise Birthday Book! It really does come in handy!

[Kazzaroo opens the book to Peppermint's page]

Kazzaroo: Peppermint is our green go getter! He likes green bubble baths, cucumbers on his pizza, green sweet treats and candy and his favourite green treasure, socks! Did I mention that Peppermint is a very quirky pal? On his birthday, while we slept, he painted the palace overnight! And guess what colour the palace was? You guessed it! Green! If it was green you name it! Peppermint will be filled with joy!

[Kazzaroo closes the book]

Peppermint: Hey Kazzaroo! The diner's open for business again! Ready to bounce?

Kazzaroo: Yes, yes, yes, I can't wait! Maybe this time around I can get some really good tips on what to do for Yukata's birthday surprise!

Peppermint: Time out. You're trying AGAIN? But haven't you tried too many times to count?

Kazzaroo: Well why not? Each year on one very special day, someone has a birthday surprise! It's just an ordinary birthday tradition. But this year things are going to be different. This time around I just MIGHT finally be able to surprise him!

Peppermint: Yeah right! I'll believe it when I see it. If you want to surprise Yukata, you gotta think HUGE! Better wish yourself the best of luck today! Looks like today is gonna be another one of those types of days!

[They arrive at the Bubble Gum diner and cafe where they see Fireworkfizz and Hyacintha playing a board game.]

Fireworkfizz: Great timing Peppermint! Wanna play?

Peppermint: Woah is that chocolate tic tac toe?! Count me in!

Kazzaroo: Ahem! Look at Boysenberry!

[Boysenberry makes a cake behind Bubble Gum as he talks to Party Favour]

Bubble Gum: You know what would be really REALLY cool? That each day we would throw a gigantic dance rave anywhere in Ponyville! We could dance and dance and dance! In fact it would even make a perfect news coverage! There would-

Peppermint: Psst! Boysenberry whatever you don't put-

Bubble Gum: Think about the title! Breaking news! "A dance rave bigger than any rave in Pony history!" Or would that be too long of a title to-

Boysenberry: Brilliant!

Bubble Gum: Party music, party games we could make it work I know-

[The cake however falls and splatters all over Bubble Gum.]

Peppermint: ...Uhh. Never mind.

Bubble Gum: Boysenberry?

Boysenberry: Oops...

[Everyone gasps, then Bubble Gum eats a cherry from the cake and everyone laughs. Kazzaroo eats a bit of the frosting.]

Kazzaroo: Mmmm! Berry Blast! My favourite! Yes, yes, yes!

[Kazzaroo wipes Boysenberry's face off with a cloth]

Boysenberry: [Sighs] Huge thanks a lot Kazz! I think next time I'm gonna stick to a more... Simple cake. Hey what's that? [Gasp] It's your birthday book! Does that mean...

Kazzaroo: Yes, yes, yes! Listen up everyone. I got a real great treat for you all. It's time to prepare for another birthday surprise!

[Everyone cheers as Kazzaroo grabs the book]

Kazzaroo: Now no one jump out of their seats yet! This one's gonna be a real trickster to sort out, probably even more difficult than the previous birthday surprises. This is why I need everypony to help pitch in!

Hyacintha: That seems a bit absurd for you to say. Every party you help organise always turns out magnificent.

Kazzaroo: Hyacintha is always a joy to be around with [He opens the book] and something else that's a joy around Hyacintha is plants and flowers! Every flower and plant he sees, he always has to take an extra careful note and study them exactly! Even on birthdays! When we were on a birthday hike, all he could do is study the flowers! Then a bee poked his nose... Well no that doesn't make much sense, a bee only LANDED on his nose! Silly me. The bee wasn't in for much, except for wanting Hyacintha's flower, but our sweet friend was happy to hand it over anyway. Yes, yes, yes! Hyacintha's our green hoof, or purple hoof! Like what I did there?

Bubble Gum: I think we better cut to the chase Kazzaroo. You oughta spit out who the golden pony is!

[Everyone talks over each other.]

Kazzaroo: It's... It's Yukata's birthday.

[Everyone gasps and talks over each other again. The wind soon blows in as the book turns to Yukata's page, with no pictures.]

Boysenberry: Uh oh, Yukata.

Kazzaroo: Now you see why I warned you that it was gonna be tough. No one has ever succeeded in surprising him!

Boysenberry: Well now that you think about it more in depth, it's not an out of touch scenario! After all Yukata's got a big brain and a wise mind!

Bubble Gum: He's not called the wisest pony in the land for nothing! Yukata, the big brain of Ponyville! When you need an answer you know who to ring! How's that?

Hyacintha: I guess that's why no one has been able to surprise him.

Bubble Gum: Speaking of my slogan, if we're gonna surprise Yukata then we gotta surprise him with something that suits his style! Yukata is smart right? Why not surprise him with a new history book? Yukata LOVES history!

Boysenberry: I think Yukata would be more interested in something very sparkly and shiny! After all Yukata is such a gem. Maybe we can give him a very rare ornament or a sparkly ring?

Wysteria: Hmm...

Bubble Gum: Hold on guys we got coverage! Hyacintha, do you have any insight?

Wysteria: Well... We could replace the locket that he most dearly loved but he then mysteriously lost?

Kazzaroo: ...Hyacintha you're a genius!

Hyacintha: Really?

Kazzaroo: We give Yukata a new locket as a replacement for the one he most dearly loved but then mysteriously lost!

Hyacintha: Basically exactly what I said?

Kazzaroo: Yes, Yes, Yes! And you know what? It's a PERFECT idea!

[Everyone is happy and cheers.]

Peppermint: Bingo! Now that you mention it, I'm gonna put my creativity into action! I can make Yukata a locket that's GREEN!

Everyone sans Peppermint: Green?!

Peppermint: What did you think I was gonna say?

[Sunrise Streak suddenly flips in]

Sunrise Streak: Dudes this is such a rad day! The sun is shining, it's bright as a beam of yellow! Totally gnarly brah!

Kazzaroo: That is Sunrise Streak. He is Ponyville's top sports star! He's a surfer, a snowboarder AND is a volleyball champion! He's such a champion that on his birthday at the beach, he topped the Ponyville record for most flips, all while drinking a glass of soda! Can you imagine that?!

Sunrise Streak: Aw yeah! Hey Peps brah let's go hang ten!

Peppermint: Don't mind if I do Sunny, brah!

Kazzaroo: Ahem! Peppermint!

Peppermint: Jeez Kazzaroo that's one nasty cough. Do you need a lozenge?

[Kazzaroo points to Yukata's page on the book]

Peppermint: Ohh right almost forgot about that! Sorry!

Kazzaroo: Don't mention it.

Peppermint: [Gasp] Bingo! I got a super idea! Sunrise, wanna help us make a green locket for Yukata's birthday?

Sunrise Streak: Come on Peps that's WAY too easy. I could lift even my least used hoof pulling that off! Though maybe I can get a clue for my own locket for Yukata, but instead of green I can make it out of some radical rays of sun! Gotta make it shine!

Peppermint: Oh my gosh that's so COOL!

Kazzaroo: Oh... Two lockets? Well, if you say so.

Hyacintha: I say we make it a trio. I can make my own out of the most beautiful and sweetest smelling flowers. I can even pull some out of my book.

[Hyacintha smells a flower and exhales.]

Boysenberry: Flour?! My goodness that just sounds wonderful Hyacintha!

Hyacintha: Oh! thank you.

Kazzaroo: I don't believe that's what he meant.

[Kazzaroo turns the page to Boysenberry's.]

Kazzaroo: Here we are. Our brilliant Boysenberry! Boysenberry is a Ponyville class baker! As he said, he loves flour! After all how can he ever make his sweet treats without it? Pies, cakes, cookies, it's all an easy peasy tasty masterpiece. However, his ambitions can sometimes get WAY too ahead of him! One time, he let Peppermint be his apprentice in baking a treat for a celebration, and they somehow baked a cake made out of strawberries and SPINACH. Good old Peppermint style. He couldn't help himself to the green!

[Boysenberry gives Peppermint a treat and Peppermint eats it.]

Peppermint: Wow... This tasty treat is full on scrumptiously supreme! Hey, that rhymes with green! Even more wow!

Boysenberry: Why wouldn't it be? Each treat is made out of the finest ingredients. And it's never complete without a berrylicious taste! In fact, the locket that I will be creating will have the most tastiest berries I have left in my shop! Not only will they smell sweet enough to eat, but you can LITERALLY eat them! Just, brilliant!

Hyacintha: That's wonderful Boysenberry but... What happens if the berries go old? They won't be sweet enough to smell or eat anymore.

Boysenberry: Not to worry. The berries I will be using are rare berries that never can go old! It will be an everlasting treasure for Yukata!

Kazzaroo: I hate to be a bother guys but I don't think the berries should be the thing we should be most concerned about, considering we now have 4 lockets on the table.

Bubble Gum: It sounds like to me you all think 4 lockets is way too many. To me, it's WAY too few. Yukata deserves more than that. Make it five why don't we! The more the merrier, the bigger the surprise, and the better to capture live! I've GOTTA get my camera ready for it!

Sunrise Streak: Woah chillax Bubble, you're living on the edge of your seats.

Bubble Gum: Maybe, but in a good way! After all a reporter's gotta have excitement. Number one rule!

[Kazzaroo turns the page to Bubble Gum's.]

Kazzaroo: When there is breaking news, you know it will all be courtesy of Bubble Gum. He is the number one Ponyville reporter. He's always got the latest captures and coverage. From Ponyville's latest surprises to the latest gossips, to the latest small talks even! Of course if he was going to have a meetup for that sort of thing, he had to head straight for the Bubble Gum Diner and Cafe! Our birthday present to him wasn't so tough to figure out. All he wanted was to have great friends to talk to and report on all day!

Fireworkfizz: Only five lockets? Where's the fun in only five? Let's turn it up a notch! A hundred, a thousand... A HUNDRED THOUSAND!

Kazzaroo: Please tell me that he's kidding around, because I don't know how much more of this I can handle...

[The page turns to Fireworkfizz.]

Kazzaroo: Fireworkfizz describes himself as a glitzy daredevil, and indeed he is! He is never one to shy away from a risk or an extreme stunt. He couldn't even give himself a break on his birthday!
