Pinkie Pie: Oh, wow!
Oh, my gosh!
[zoom]
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
Sorry, Applejack!
Twilight! Twilight, where are you?
I'm in here, Pinkie.
What is it?
You'll never guess what I just got!
Is everything OK?
We heard a lot of "Oh, my gosh-in'" and we weren't sure
if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
A good thing!
To "Pink Pony who lives with baked goods."
It's from the yaks.
Yaks cordially invite Pink Pony to Yikslerbertfest.
Come. NOW!
Prince Rutherford is officially inviting me to Yikslerbertfest
in Yakyakistan!
What is Yikslerbertfest?
It's a sacred Yak holiday.
How did you get Prince Rutherford to invite you?
I subtly hinted for an invitation in my letters to him.
May I please come to Yikslerbertfest?
Pretty please?
Pretty please! Pretty please!
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty please!
After my seventeenth scroll, I think he picked up
what I was putting down.
Hee hee hee hee!

[giggling]
You know, we still don't know a lot about the yaks.
So I think you should definitely go to Yikslerbertfest, Pinkie.
[agreement]
Fostering friendships is what ponies do.
I won't let you down.
It's an honor to be the Official Friendship Ambassador
to the Yaks.
Um, that's not an official position.
Yet.
You're the Princess of Friendship!
You can make it happen!
OK, You got it.
Ahem. You have to make it OFFICIAL!
[groan]
Right. I hereby make Pinkie Pie
the Official Friendship Ambassador to the Yaks.
This is officially the most exciting day of my life!
♪♪
Yoo-hoo, Gummy! Pay attention.
We're in the middle of an Official Friendship Ambassador
Road Trip Game.
That's better.
OK, I spy with my official friendship eye
something that is blue.
[whistling wind]
♪♪
[gasp] We're here!
Oh, and by the way, the answer was "sky." I win!
Yeah, I know that was a hard one, Gummy.
You're the best Official Friendship Travel Companion
ever!
[rumbling]
What is going on?
Yaks destroy!
Yikes!
Ha ha! Pink Pony!
It's an honor to be here, Prince!
Uh, did something terrible happen?
Is Yikslerbertfest canceled?
No. This Yikslerbertfest.
Where yaks get together to stomp.
Ohhhh, I didn't know that was part of the sacred holiday.
So this angry display of destruction
is part of the festivities.
And here I thought you yaks were just in a bad mood.
No. Stomping relaxes yaks.
Hey ah!
[grunts]
Yak's head never been so clear.
This is AWESOME!
[shout]
Stop!
Pink Pony better check self before wreck self.
That is century-old sacred Yak Twig passed down
from generation to generation.
Oh, no!
I'm so sorry.
I was just trying to get into the spirit of Yikslerbertfest.
Maybe I can fix it--
Ha ha ha! Yak kidding!
[shouts]
Yak got Pink Pony good!
Horn bump!
Gah!
Whew!
You sure did, Prince Rutherford!
[giggle]
That was a close one, Gummy.
This trip has to be perfect.
After all, we're not just visiting as friends.
We're on Official Friendship Ambassador business.
Less talking!
More stomping!
[shouts]
Now, I take Pink Pony on Yakyakistan tour.
Thanks, Prince Rutherford.
But I've been to Yakyakistan before.
Yak know.
But thought Pink Pony might not recognize town
since decorated for Yikslerbertfest.
You're right!
It's so different now that you've pointed it out.
Yaks not just have eye for decorating.
Yaks also amazing builders.
[gasp] No way!
I thought you hired professional contractors!
Here, let me help you with that.
This Ceremonial Yak Fire pit.
Where yaks tell stories.
Ooh!
I have so much to officially tell the ponies when I get back!
This Yak Eating Hut.
Hut where yaks eat.
[slurp]
Mmm, the perfect balance of vanilla extract.
Yaks grow own vanilla bean.
Nothing imported.
[chomp/gulp]
Yak Sleeping Hut.
Hut where yaks sleep.
[sighing snores]
Yak Music Hut.
Hut where yaks enjoy beautiful music.
This is beautiful!
Sssh. Pink Pony ruin with talking.
... And that how yaks defeat evil and save world.
[knock knock knock]
Pink Pony like yak story!
Yak impressed.
Pink Pony can almost be Honorary Yak.
Official Friendship Ambassador and Honorary Yak?
Pink Pony's title card is full!
Horn bump!
Wait, I don't have a horn.
[gasp]
Prince Rutherford, can I get some honorary yak horns?
No. Yak horn too heavy for small pony head.
[horn blast]
Yikslerbertfest Stomp Time.
[shouts and crashing]
Stomp harder, yaks extra happy!
Ponies and yaks, friends!
♪♪
[whoosh]
Is this part of the festival?
Pink Pony ask too many questions.
Everything is buried in snow! What are we going to do?
Yaks fine.
Snow fall from mountains all the time.
All the time?
Every Yikslerbertfest.
OK. Avalanches like this completely bury
all your homes every Yikslerbertfest?
Really?
This is big avalanche.
But not a problem, for yaks are tough.
Yaks dig through snow.
Won't take long.
Oh, good you have an emergency plan in place.
Here, let me help.
[buzzing]
[grunts and groans]
Whoo, I'm tired.
We must be almost done.
There's still snow everywhere?
Yaks keep digging!
[rumbling]
Ohhhhhh.
Yaks stop digging!
Makes situation worse!
OK, don't worry, Prince Rutherford.
I'll go back to Ponyville and ask for help.
Twilight and the others will be happy to come dig the snow away.
After all, many hooves make light work!
Right, Gummy?
Yaks no need pony help!
[grunts of agreement]
Oh. Well, I'm sure it'll be OK,
cause you probably have a plan B.
Yes. Yaks wait for snow to melt.
All this snow?
It'll take a thousand moons before it melts.
Yaks known for their patience.
Well, be that as it may, in the meantime, what will you eat?
Where will you sleep?
Yaks can make this work.
Hardship make yaks the strong yaks that yaks are!
If Pink Pony disagrees, then she can leave Yakyakistan
and never return!
Of course Pink Pony agrees with you!
Hey! Let's try out some snow recipes!
Snow cakes!
Snow spaghetti!
Snow sandwiches!
[chomp]
Mmmmm!
Yaks can make this work!
[yawn] Yak tired.
Yak retire to new Sleeping Hut.

[groan]
[munching]
Snow cake good.
[chomp]
[gulp]
[shudder]
Mmmm.
Just the right balance of cold and water!
Stop!
Yak eating new Eating Hut.
Psst, Prince Rutherford, what are we doing?
It's obvious.
This New Music Hut.
Oh. So we're swaying to... ?
Ssshhh. Pink Pony ruin snow music with talking.
[rumble]
What was yak?
Yak stomach rumbles.
Yak hungry.
Sshh.
Prince Yak will hear yak.
But snow worse than yak ever seen.
Yak know.
Yak hungry too.
Gummy, did you hear that?
They can't make it work.
Yaks stop swaying.
Music over.
If Twilight and the others knew what was going on,
they would be here to help in a pony's heartbeat.
I have to convince Prince Rutherford
that asking for help is OK.
Will you help me, Gummy?
Thank you!
And see, asking you to help wasn't hard at all!
Pink Pony has gathered you around
the New Ceremonial Yak Firepit...
... to tell you a story.
A yak tradition, right?
[agreement]
Yay!
This is a story about a group of...
goats, who live in the desert.
There was a sandstorm and their entire village
was buried in sand.
There was nothing they could do.
They knew they could not survive on only eating sand-wiches!
Get it?
OK.
Anyway, finally, the goat's brave, wise leader
--let's just call him Prince Drutherford--
decides that they couldn't do it by themselves.
So he asked the neighboring town of uh, Bovineville
to come help them. Yeah! Cows!
The magical cows helped the goats.
Everyone survived and lived happily ever after.
Because they asked for help.
The end!
[shouting]
So what is the moral of that story?
Is it A: asking for help is OK?
B: asking for help saves the day?
Or C: asking for help is good for everypony?
D: goats weak and horrible!
Magic Bovines need to stay out of goats' business!
Um... not quite.
Any-yak wanna shout out another answer?
[whistling wind]
[groan]
Pinkie: Hey, Prince Rutherford.
I want to talk to you about something -- what are you doing?
Yak snow bed got a little melty last night.
OK, yeah.
That's what I want to talk to you about.
You know, these yak snow beds are the fluffiest
I've ever slept in!
They're so comfortable,
you forget that it's just a cold block of ice.
And the yak snow sandwiches, mmm, mmm!
I hate it when food burns your mouth
or overwhelms it with flavor.
Oh! Yak hates that too.
You know who would really, really enjoy
these snow sandwiches?
Twilight Sparkle and the other ponies!
Oh! Hey, I have an idea!
Why don't I go to Ponyville and bring them back here?
Ponies like snow sandwich?
Ponies love snow sandwiches!
And, hey, while they're here,
you can ask if they'll clear the snow away.
Fun, right?
When Prince was little yak,
Prince stomped on ground too hard.
Made deep hole and fell into hole.
Ice froze over hole.
Prince waved to friends and family from inside frozen hole.
Waited for spring thaw.
Prince survived on own.
Wait a minute.
You spent the whole winter in a hole?
Yes. And yak never ask for help!
OK, first of all, how did you make such a deep hole
from stomping?
And how did it freeze over so fast?
And how could you see your family and friends
to wave to them from inside a frozen hole?
Even if all that was possible, how did you breathe in there?
YAKS DON'T ASK FOR HELP!
But the yaks are hungry!
And who knows when the snow will melt?
I just don't understand why--
Ah yes, is clear now that Pink Pony does not understand Yaks!
Honorary Yak status rescinded!
Bang! Pretend there is door!
I just slammed it!
Fine, be stubborn!
Those yaks are so stubborn.
They refuse to ask for help even though they need it.
Well, this Official Friendship Ambassador
is going to take matters into her own hooves.
I'll show them.
You're right, Gummy.
I am too worked up.
A road trip game would officially calm me down.
I know!
Let's play "Twenty Million Questions."
You think of something.
Then I'll ask you twenty million questions
until I can come up with what you're thinking of.
Let's go!
Is it blue?
Is it green?
Is it red?
Is it greenish-red?
Is it reddish-blue?
Is it bigger than a bread box?
Is it smaller than a bread box?
Is it a bread box?
Is it bread?
Is it teeth?
Is it Granny Smith's dentures?
Is it you?
Is it a rooster?
Is it a red rooster?
Is it a red rooster eating corn?
Uhp, used up all twenty million questions.
Oh, well, we're here anyway!
Official Pony Balloon still here?
Pink Pony gone because Pink Pony not tough like yaks.
Horn bump in agreement.
Now!
[chomp]
Bleagh!
Snow sandwich lose novelty.
Snow couscous for dinner.
[grunts]
Then Prince Rutherford said -- Bang!
Pretend there is door!
I just slammed it!
Pinkie Pie--
So then Pink Pony said --
Fine, be stubborn!
Pinkie Pie, we have to help the yaks!
So in conclusion, we have to help the yaks!
Hmm?
Just go with it, hon.
Great idea, Pinkie.
We'll be happy to help the yaks.
This is what friendship is all about.
Hey! I'll bring apples.
This season's batch are extra juicy.
And I shall provide the yaks
with Equestria's finest textiles.
They'll be silky and warm with hints of gold
to compliment their horns.
Stop!
We can't bring the yaks any pony stuff.
Why not?
The yaks are very proud.
They won't ask for help.
You know what they say, you can lead a yak to water,
but you better not let him know you're doing it!
Nopony says that.
Do they?
OK then, this will be an
Official Covert Friendship Mission.
[agreement]
Pinkie: Is it yellow?
Is it slimy?
Is it slimy-yellow?
Rainbow Dash: We're not playing that!
First, we have to infiltrate the yak compound!
These walls are high.
Sneaking in will not be easy.
Or it's super easy cause I'm awesome.
Go ahead. I'll catch up!
You all know what to do!

Oh!
What happened?
Snow melted.

[laughter and cheers]
Yaks tough!
Yaks wait patiently.

sure takes a lot out of you.
Let's get out of here before--
Prince: Pink Pony!

Just play it cool.
We didn't help fix Yakyakistan! No no!
We're just here for the snow sandwiches!
But then we got here and the snow's gone so we thought
we'd hit a diner on the way back to Ponyville. Buh Bye!
Wait! Yak not mad at Pink Pony.
Yak not?
Pink Pony helped yaks without yaks asking.
Means Pink Pony understand yaks.
I do?
Hunh! I do!

Officially Honorary Yak!

Yay!
