A Locket Of Birthdays/Transcript

This is A Locket Of Birthdays transcript made for the fanmade MLP G3 Genderbend au.

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?

Hyacintha: Hmm...

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

Hyacintha: 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! When his birthday arrived, he shot himself out of a glittery fireworks cannon and covered the whole of Ponyville with sparkles overnight! It was a magnificent sight, but it took almost a week to get out all of the glitter. But I will say, it was worth it!

Fireworkfizz: Okay so you may have a point there. You can never have over a hundred thousand lockets or else that would be far fetched. But if we make it six then it would still be FAR OUT! Bubble Gum take this down!

Bubble Gum: Well, every news is big news I suppose!

[Suddenly, the door opens wide for Rainbow Blitz]

Rainbow Blitz: My beloved's, I have arrived!

Sunrise Streak: Well, look where the pony dragged in dudes!

Kazzaroo: Good ponies, may I present the one, the only, Rainbow Blitz! Rainbow Blitz is an ESPECIALLY important pony around here! He's brilliant, beautiful and always does things in a big way. On his birthday he announced that a new rainbow was coming to Ponyville! But turns out, it wasn't really a rainbow, but instead it was Rainbow Blitz who had a rainbow wrapped around him like a suit! Rainbow Blitz always was the go to for classic and creative so we LOVED it!

Rainbow Blitz: Please hold the applause beloveds. I think I have more important matters to discuss with Yukata's birthday it seems! I just happened to be strolling by and I heard the big news.

Peppermint: Well you came in at the right time! We're making lockets for Yukata's birthday!

Rainbow Blitz: Lockets?! That's simply divine! But if we're discussing anything, I believe it's- Hold on, it's DEFINITELY about rainbows beloveds! Lots and lots of rainbows!

Kazzaroo: S-seven lockets? I feel faint...

[Kazzaroo sits down and uses his hoof to fan himself]

Rainbow Blitz: Oh dear Kazzaroo beloved, are you alright?

Kazzaroo: N-no worries! Just... Dreaming up lockets... Seven... For one pony.

Peppermint: What do we call that?

[Just as that's going on, Party Favour walks by]

Party Favour: Call what? Woah Kazz you don't look too good! You need something?

Kazzaroo: Oh don't worry Party Favour, I think I'm just overwhelmed that's all.

[Kazzaroo turns the page to Party Favour's.]

Kazzaroo: Now here's a good page about a very special pony. Party Favour! Party Favour is a pony who always looks out for his friends and knows lot's of things! But not as many things he knows just as much as his wide knowledge of partying! Sometimes the ponies like to call him the king of party planning. And when you know that much about them, you would need to be called that! On his birthday for instance, he let us help decorate the party. But that decorating turned into a class of balloon blowing 101! We didn't know why Party Favour was teaching us this and while he had really good tips, we already knew how to blow up and tie balloons. But it was his birthday and we didn't want to spoil anything, so we just went along with it!

Party Favour: You know, with all of this talk about lockets I feel I should bring something up. With all of these lockets well... Eight does seem like just a bit too many.

Kazzaroo: See now that's what- EIGHT?! W-when did we have eight lockets planned?!

Party Favour: When my balloon locket was in the picture of course!

Kazzaroo: Great... And just when I was getting used to seven...

Hyacintha [Whispering]: You know... I've heard of complicated studies, but this is starting to get REALLY complicated...

Fireworkfizz: I don't see why Yukata can't wear all eight?

Party Favour: Well the tough part is Yukata only has one neck... So that means that if Yukata gets eight lockets then he'll have to wear only one at a time.

Fireworkfizz: Oh okay well that answers my question then.

Bubble Gum: So that leaves one big question... Which one does he wear first?

Sunrise Streak: Well dudes isn't it totally obvious? He'll wear my locket first for sure!

Rainbow Blitz: I have to disagree beloved he'll definitely wear mine!

Hyacintha: I think he'll wear mine!

Kazzaroo: Uhh guys?

Party Favour: See what I mean? We need to nip it in the bud. And fast!

Rainbow Blitz: You know I'm starting to think Fireworkfizz had a good point, if only he could wear all the lockets at once beloved.

Fireworkfizz: YES! I told you! ...But, if we can't get him to wear every single locket at once then... What do we do?

Party Favour: Simple! What we always do when we're stuck on a problem.

Sunrise Streak: Rad idea Party brah! I'll go get my surfboard!

Party Favour: Not what I meant Sunrise.

Sunrise Streak: Oh.

Party Favour: What I MEANT to say was that the best and only option is to seek advice from the wisest pony in the land.

Peppermint: BINGO! With that pony's help we'll get this surprise done in no time!

Rainbow Blitz: Bingo indeed beloved!

[Peppermint and Rainbow Blitz high-five and walk up to Party Favour and Kazzaroo for one.]

Peppermint: Come on you two high-five!

Kazzaroo: [Sighs] oh dear...

Party Favour: About that... Sorry to rain on your parade guys but the wisest pony in the land is well... Yukata.

Boysenberry: Uh oh! Yukata! We can't ask him now! Not on his birthday surprise!

Bubble Gum: Well what other choice do we have left? One of us needs to go talk to him immediately.

Peppermint: Definitely.

Fireworkfizz: That pony's gotta have a clever brain!

Peppermint: Mhm!

Boysenberry: Oh you're right. One of us has got to see Yukata. But if we want to talk to him about our problems we need to be very careful to not let the surprise slip out while doing so.

Kazzaroo: And don't forget, Yukata lives pretty far away from Ponyville, so we need to have a solution on how we can get him to the castle right on time for his surprise celebration.

Hyacintha: We can use the Ponyville hot air balloon for that!

Peppermint: Bingo! I know what we need to do! One of us has to volunteer to see Yukata that's perfect!

Bubble Gum: And we know just the candidate!

Peppermint: That's lucky!

[Everyone backs up except for Peppermint, indicating he must go.]

Peppermint: Oh... Lucky.

[Transition to Yukata's archival house.]

Yukata: So what was it that you were saying Peppermint?

Peppermint: Well you see me and the other ponies are making a lo- I-I MEAN... Welcome sign yeah yeah that's what I meant heh! So let's say that as a little bit of thought, my sign would be the shade of green cause you know green's always been my favourite colour in the whole wide world!

Yukata: And...?

Peppermint: And uhhh... Well as for the other ponies each of their signs would be completely different, and while they are all really cool you can only put one sign up at a time. So I'm asking you, which one would you want to hang up first?

Yukata: Well, I must say Peppermint... This is quite an interesting question you have. Confusing, but interesting nonetheless...

Kazzaroo [Voiceover]: This is Yukata, also known as the wisest pony in all of the land. Yukata is very intelligent and is the keeper of all the legend and lore of Ponyville. Every ounce of information and philosophy is all kept in his library of archives and magic alongside his own words of wisdom. Because of his intelligence, he knew every single surprise thrown at him, and up until now no pony has ever succeeded.

Yukata: I think I've got an idea...

Peppermint: OOH! TELL ME TELL ME- I-I mean... Really?

Yukata: What if all of the ponies worked together on only one welcome sign, with each part having their own special touch? That way every pony has something to offer with just one gift?

Peppermint: [Gasp] Bingo! Oh Yukata your a genius thank you so much!

Yukata: Your very welcome... Though I still don't understand what this is all really about.

Peppermint: Oh you'll see once you see it! Wait does that make sense... Oh who cares heh! What I'm trying to say is I would love it if you could say what you think by going back into town to see with your own eyes!

Yukata: Anything my own friends need I'll be there right away. Of course I'll go right back into town!

Peppermint: BINGO... U-uh oh!

[Before Yukata walks off, Peppermint stops him]

Peppermint: N-now now come on buddy pause for a minute! I didn't actually say now, I-I meant uhh... At six! Yeah yeah six o clock sharp tomorrow night! Just stay here, do not move a muscle, well you can move but just stay where you are right now and wait until tomorrow night, at six o clock of course and then I'll pick you up! Got that?

Yukata: Do not fret Peppermint, I completely understand now.

Peppermint: What a relief!

[As Peppermint walks away, he whispers to himself "What a close call..."]

Yukata: [Sighs] What surprises they get up to in town I'll probably never fully comprehend!

[Transition back to inside the diner as Peppermint has returned.]

Peppermint: Alright here's everything I've got down! Take a good peek and see what you guys think!

Kazzaroo: And you're ABSOLUTELY sure that you didn't let the surprise slip?

Peppermint: Absolutely pinkie swear!

[The ponies all take a look at Peppermint's notebook, but they see something odd.]

Peppermint: What? Is it something I missed?

Party Favour: Nope! Everything answered is positively on the notebook!

Peppermint: Phew! For a second there-

Party Favour: It's just in positively jumbled handwriting.

[At that moment Peppermint grabs the notebook and puts it away.]

Peppermint: Heh heh... W-well no one's perfect! Besides who needs the notebook when it's super easy to tell you!? W-we... We give Yukata one locket instead of eight! See easy peasy heh!

Hyacintha: That's exactly what Yukata said...?

Peppermint: More so the abridged version.

Kazzaroo: Even so, one seems good enough. I think I have that covered!

Rainbow Blitz: Indeed. But beloved, it's going to be quite a lot to handle when all of our ideas are so magnificent! My rainbows idea of course is especially magnificent!

Fireworkfizz: Oh this is so confusing! Come on guys we gotta pick something already!

Sunrise Strike: Dude your sounding more like Kazz each day! Oh, no offence brah.

Kazzaroo: Meh, none taken.

Peppermint: But here's the best part. We don't have to choose!

Boysenberry: [Gasp] I understand now! One locket!

Party Favour: But with one different piece...

Bubble Gum: From each of us!

[Everyone cheers and high-fives each other as they do a dance montage and finish with a pony pyramid.]

Rainbow Blitz: Simply flawless my beloveds, flawless!

[Transition to ponyville the next day.]

Kazzaroo: I know I'm going on like a broken record, but Ponyville truly is 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. Oh your going to love this!

[Kazzaroo sees Hyacintha choosing flowers and taking note of them.]

Kazzaroo: Uh Hyacintha? Hyacintha!

Hyacintha: O-oh! Oh I'm awfully sorry Kazzaroo I didn't see you there... Uh, Please excuse me but I just need to take a few more points on this bluebell.

Kazzaroo: [Sighs] I know once you see a plant you can't stop reading into it but right now we don't have all day. So for this one time, PLEASE just pick a flower? A delicate and teeny tiny one of course.

Hyacintha: Now now Kazzaroo i'll have you know this is never simple work. Each flower has it's own special feature that makes each one just as unique and beautiful! The gladiolus, a ray of beauty. The Magnolia, smells everlastingly fresh. The cherry blossoms, always blooming and never wilting. You do understand don't you?

Kazzaroo: I'm guessing that means I should come back later?

Hyacintha: W-well... Yes. How did you know?

Kazzaroo: Must've been a lucky guess. But just remember that a locket isn't meant for studying. It's for wearing?

[Kazzaroo then sees Rainbow Blitz and almost bumps into him.]

Rainbow Blitz: It seems that some ponies forgot to watch their step today! Well, I always said perfection is never an easy feat.

Kazzaroo: ...Oops?

Rainbow Blitz: And by the way, may I recommend beloved that you move a bit back? Rainbows are very fragile and must be treated with absolute care and delicacy.

Kazzaroo: Don't worry I can take a hint. But I don't think I recall that lockets were meant to be... Well, huge.

Rainbow Blitz: But all lockets are meant to be the exact same size for the best match! If I may add input I do believe Hyacintha proved that point perfectly beloved.

Kazzaroo: How COULD I be so unaware? Okay fine then big or small I'll buy it. I just need to know when you'll be ready to present.

Rainbow Blitz: That isn't how perfection works beloved. This is derived from ART. It never is ready. All that matters is that it needs to happen and the outcome is magnificent!

Kazzaroo: [Sighs] How could I ever forget...?

[Suddenly Kazzaroo hears the sounds of mechanical noises and gas and walks away to investigate]

Kazzaroo: Now what's going on?!

[Kazzaroo goes off to see Sunrise Streak and Fireworkfizz's charms next.]

Sunrise Streak: Booyah! How's that for a locket brah?

Kazzaroo: W-Wha- What's going on here?!

Sunrise Streak: Totally rad locket-building is going on here that's what!

Kazzaroo: These are lockets?! They're as big as my house!

Sunrise Streak: Yeah that's what WE thought too. But there was absolutely no way we could turn back when we saw the awesome lockets that Hyacintha and Rainbow were making. This shine could beat the sun any day!

[Kazzaroo looks around but can't find Fireworkfizz.]

Kazzaroo: Sunrise, where's Fireworkfizz?

Sunrise Streak: Oh yeah almost forgot to tell you but uh... I got two words for you. Stand back.

Kazzaroo: Why...?

Fireworkfizz: FIRE IN THE HOLE!

[Suddenly Fireworkfizz shoots himself out of the cannon to splat his locket with giant amounts of glitter. Kazzaroo dodges the surprise just in time.]

Fireworkfizz: AW YEAH! Perfect target! Now wasn't that just far out?!

Sunrise Streak: Totally!

[Kazzaroo picks himself up, but as he turns around he sees Party Favour's giant spotted balloons.]

Kazzaroo: S-S-S-Sunrise?! W-when did you get covered in giant spots?!

Party Favour: Kazz it's me! Not Sunrise Streak!

Sunrise Streak: Woah. Now THAT'S awesome...

[Party Favour flies up with the balloons.]

Party Favour: So guys! How do you think the locket's going so far?!

Kazzaroo: It's too big!

Party Favour: What?! I can't hear you! The balloons are REALLY big!

Kazzaroo: I- Oh forget it!

Fireworkfizz: You know, that stunt he's pulling off just gave me a fizzing idea!

[Kazzaroo sighs and goes to see Peppermint's locket at the Bubble Gum Diner and Café next.]

Kazzaroo: This is getting ridiculous... I say one locket for each of them and this is the way they take it. [Sighs] Well, there's still Peppermint. Maybe his locket is the right size this time!

[Kazzaroo's thoughts are soon contradicted as the sound of drilling noises.]

Kazzaroo: I stand corrected...

[Peppermint is drilling into mints.]

Kazzaroo: Unbelievable...

Peppermint: I KNOW RIGHT?! You can NEVER imagine doing something as crazy as this! It's not even simple!

Kazzaroo: I'd say that's the biggest understatement ever said! Have you even looked outside ONCE?! All of the lockets are way too big and everyone seems to have no idea what they are doing! And not just BIG! Giant, Enormous... GINORMOUS!

Peppermint: Oh no! I can't work with that! ...My locket needs to be GINORMOUS-ER!

[Before Kazzaroo can say anything more, the mint breaks in half.]

Peppermint: ...BINGO!

Kazzaroo: You have an idea on how we can have a proper plan?!

Peppermint: Oh no. What would be even better than mints other than CANDY CANES! Green and white and full of a refreshing scent Yukata can never resist! Not really really real but still can smell really REALLY nice you know what I mean heh!

Kazzaroo: Yes, yes- [Pause] Wait! No, no, no, NO!

Peppermint: Oh gee... It's the green isn't it? There needs to be more? Because I'm happy-

Kazzaroo: Peppermint! I need you to listen to me CAREFULLY. We have only just a FEW HOURS to get all of these lockets ready, put them together and have everything ready for Yukata before his surprise party. And what SHOULD'VE been an easy task has resulted in all of us still stuck on square ONE with the only things ready, are ponies who have no clue what they are doing and eight giant lockets that are still UNFINISHED! IT'S A DISASTER!

Peppermint: Hmm... On a scale of 1 to 10, how big of a disaster are we talking here?

[Transition to later on.]

Kazzaroo [Voiceover]: Okay so maybe I did overreact a LITTLE with the few technical difficulties we had. But hey, you know what they say about planning? There's always a backup plan for a backup plan! Of course with that in mind, we did manage to work everything out eventually... In probably our biggest surprise yet!

Kazzaroo: Hurry up everyone! Into the castle at once!

Party Favour: You heard him! Peppermint will be here any minute now with Yukata! We have to get the surprise ready!

Rainbow Blitz: Now now beloveds don't rush!

Kazzaroo: Unless you want Yukata to know too soon then we're going to have to!

Bubble Gum: Well ponies, this is it! The moment we've all been waiting for! Will this be the surprise that will truly leave Yukata speechless? Can we say for certain that we succeeded in doing the impossible?

Kazzaroo: Bubble Gum turn that camera off and get inside before they see you!

Bubble Gum: But-

Kazzaroo: You can take all the pictures and videos you want after the surprise!

Bubble Gum: [Sighs] Alright Hyacintha let's take a break!

Hyacintha: Oh I do hope Yukata likes what we did!

Kazzaroo: Okay Boysenberry's already inside getting the cake ready... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6- Wait, Sunrise where's Fireworkfizz?

Sunrise Streak: Oh chillax dude, he'll be here! He's just getting a surprise of his own ready!

Party Favour: I see them! Quick close the door!

[Everyone hides inside the castle as Peppermint and Yukata fly to Ponyville in the hot air balloon and land near the castle.]

Peppermint: Bingo! Perfect landing am I right?

Yukata: Um... Yes... Just a few more lessons to go and you will surely be a... Skilful flyer! [Sighs]

Peppermint: Aww shucks! Well, this is the place!

Yukata: Indeed... Now, how about we see that sign?

Peppermint: Heh... W-what sign? T-there's no sign your pulling my hoof here!

Yukata: I'm quite sure that the sign was the thing that you discussed with me yesterday about?

Peppermint: ...Ohhh y-yeah! THAT sign that's the one bingo heheh!

Yukata: Are you feeling alright Peppermint? It seems that the ride has made you quite dizzy.

Peppermint: Oh I'm fine! Let's head on in!

[Peppermint puts in the call to open the castle bridge two times, but no answer.]

Yukata: Oh dear...

Peppermint: U-uh heh! Don't worry about a thing! Just give me a sec...

Yukata: Alright...?

Peppermint: ...OPEN UP!

[The bridge opens as Peppermint falls over and balloons, streamers and confetti fly out of the door and so do the ponies.]

Everyone: SURPRISE!

[Yukata gasps.]

Yukata: N-no way...!

Peppermint: OH YES WAY!

Fireworkfizz: And it gets BETTER!

Kazzaroo: Fireworkfizz?!

[Fireworkfizz stands on top of the castle with tons of gear as everyone looks on. He grabs a hang-glider full of fireworks and confetti and begins to jump and glide]

Fireworkfizz: YEE-HAW! And now for the ultimate touch!

[Fireworkfizz presses a button on his gear, and as he flies down, A giant locket flies by with all of the locket pieces on.]

Kazzaroo [Voiceover]: So what was this backup plan we had in mind for 8 giant lockets? Decorating the castle with a sparkling combination of all of them that's what! And leave it to Fireworkfizz to finish the job!

Yukata: I... Do not believe my eyes... It's so... Enchanting.

Hyacintha: It's magnificent...

Bubble Gum: Hyacintha, give me my camera back. I've GOT to take a snapshot of this...

Rainbow Blitz: Very illuminating beloved...

Sunrise Streak: Totally, radical...

Fireworkfizz: Far out!

Party Favour: Fantastico!

Boysenberry: Brilliant! [Gasp] I almost forgot something!

[Boysenberry runs back into the castle, but quickly comes out again to roll down his birthday cake for Yukata.]

Boysenberry: You can never have a party without a delicious cake!

Everyone: Happy birthday Yukata!
