You look nervous. There's no reason to be nervous.

Nothing to worry about. Everything's gonna be fine.

Twilight, tell those butterflies in your tummy to "beat it!"

Making new friends is always fun!

Oh!

They're probably just as nervous as you are.

You've been planning this shindig for weeks.

You know everything about these fellers. It's gonna be dandy.

(big sigh)

You're right. 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's face

when she finds out we made friends with a Yak Prince!

Ha ha!

I'm calm. I'm calm.

PONIES! GREETINGS, PONIES!

Prince Rutherford, Your Majesty,

on behalf of all of us, I welcome you to Equestria.

Me honored. Yaks hope for great friendship

between Ponies and Yaks.

Friends for a thousand moons!

You must be hungry after your long journey.

We've prepared a banquet of traditional yak foods.

IF THINGS NOT PERFECT, YAKS GET MAD!

YAKS ALWAYS GET MAD WHEN THINGS NOT PERFECT!

[sniff sniff]

THIS NO TASTE LIKE YAK FOOD! FAKE PONY FOOD MAKE YAKS MAD!

Them yaks sure have a funny way of saying howdy.

They're different, that's all.

Very different.

I think they broke my record

for Most Stuff Broken in Under a Minute.

I mean, they even broke the trophy.

[clunk]

All we have to do is show them

how great it can be to have friends before

Princess Celestia arrives for the friendship party tonight.

Now, who read the seven-volume cross-indexed history

of Yakyakistan I recommended?

I - I had a thing.

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!

Pretty sure that's what fur's always for, Pinkie Pie.

I KNOW! YAKS ARE SO COOL!

[smash]

Pinkie Pie, can you show them around town?

I know you have to plan the friendship party too,

but it would really help make them feel welcome.

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

Remember, we want to make sure Equestria feels like home.

That means doing everything we can

to make this place feel like Yakyakistan.

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

[excited chatter]

We know y'all are noble warriors

who avoid the so-called finer things,

so me and my family'd be honored

if you rested here in the barn during your visit.

Applejack and I made hay beds

like you're used to back in Yakyakistan.

HM. THIS PERFECT.

You can snooze here all afternoon

cause you're gonna need a lot of energy for my party tonight.

[sigh]

That wasn't so hard.

WAIT!

THIS NOT YAK HAY!

Well, we didn't have actual hay from Yakyakistan,

but we tried our best to make it just like yours--

NOT PERFECT! YAKS DESTROY!

[growls and crashing]

Pinkie Pie, what do we do?

And now, for your entertainment pleasure,

presenting, "Animals, Yakyakistan Style."

ANIMALS CUTE!

OH. Thank goodness.

WAIT. THESE ANTLERS A LIE! THESE NOT YAKYAKISTAN ANIMALS!

YAKS SMASH!

[crashing and growling]

OK, well, there's still other things we can do...I think.

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...

[chewing and gnawing]

delicious.

This no taste like yak fabric!

YAKS DESTROY!

[crashing and growling]

Everything's gonna be fine;

you just make it up to them somehow.

Listen up! Tell your faces to hold onto their frowns,

cause they're about to get turned upside down.

HOLD YOUR FROWN, FACE!

Hit it, Rainbow Dash!

[thud]

Just like Yakyakistan snow, right?

Because snow is snow, no matter where it comes from.

[slurp]

THIS NOT YAK SNOW!

[crashing and growling]

Seriously?

Seriously?

You know? It's going OK.

Satisfactory, I'd say.

It could be better.

It's not very good.

It's a disaster!

Pinkie Pie. Tonight's Yakyakistan-theme party

is more important than ever.

You'll make them forget all about this afternoon, right?

Because if it's not perfect,

they're going to smash everything,

and I'm not sure how much more smashing this visit can take!

I definitely will, I think... maybe?

You're the best gosh-darn party planner in Equestria.

You'll show 'em a good time.

You can do it.

We have absolute confidence in your abilities, Pinkie Pie.

It's going to be my most happy-tacular party ever...

I hope!

Why are your eyes darting around like that?

It's what I do when I'm not nervous! Hahahahahahaha!

Pinkie Pie, I don't know what we'd do without you.

Me either! GOTTA GO!

[gasping breaths]

Gummy! What am I gonna do?

I have all this amazing stuff planned for the party

but they're going to hate it!

There's no way to make Equestria feel like Yakyakistan.

They're just too sensitive.

Even Fluttershy made them mad. FLUTTERSHY!

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?

[gasp]

Gummy, you're a genius!

[kiss]

And this is Sugarcube Corner.

They're working hard to make you a traditional Yakyakistan cake.

VANILLA EXTRACT BALANCE VERY TRICKY!

Do you mind, um, waiting here for one moment?

I'm doing what I can, but it's really up to you at this point.

Pinkie? Where are you?

Angel and I searched the forest, but...

Aerial recon turned up nothing, either.

I searched the farm inside and out. No Pinkie Pie.

But I did find a set of Granny Smith's dentures

under the house. So...not a complete loss.

She's simply vanished!

But the party, it's all we have left. What are we going to do?

"Don't worry. I'll be back in time for the party.

If Pinkie Pie says she'll be back in time for the party,

We have to trust her. Right? No reason to FREAK OUT.

Don't worry, Twilight.

When it comes to parties,

I think she knows what she's doing.

You're right, let's just focus on keeping the yaks happy

till she's back.

Piece of cake.

The cake!

One bite and you'll be transported

right back to Yakyakistan. Ha ha!

I hope.

[munching]

PONIES TOO HEAVY ON VANILLA EXTRACT! BWAR!

We've never needed a party so badly.

Next stop, Crystal Empire!

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.

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?

[crash and screaming brakes]

Did we go the wrong way?

Where's all the snow?

Please tell me this is magical sand-colored snow!

Pthew! Nope! Sand. Definitely sand.

Dodge City. End of the line, I'm afraid.

All trains had to stop. Sheep decided to sit on the tracks.

[bleating]

CURSE YOU, SHEEP!

Thanks for your help, Conductor.

Cherry Jubilee!

Pinkie Pie? I reckoned I eyeballed you

crossin' my way right now.

How ARE you? You look amazing! I need help!

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 I could get there?

Mark your calender, missy,

cause this right here's your lucky day.

I'm headin' north to the Crystal Empire myself for a delivery.

I oughta warn you, though. Me and the boys are powerful tired

cause we was up all night countin' cherries.

Hey there! Wake up!

Counting cherries? How many?

Four hundred and seventeen thousand,

two hundred and thirty-four. YEE-HAW!

Whoa!

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.

You know what I mean?

Cherry?

RAVINE! RAVINE!

[ring]

[splash]

WAKE UP!

WAKE UP!

STOP!

[crash]

Whoa! I was dreamin' about a ravine.

RAVINE!

That's what I said!

[sobbing]

MUSIC BEAUTIFUL! MUCH SOUL!

Phew.

When Twilight told me to stall, I mean,entertain you,

I thought "there's NO way I could--"

Huh?

Spike!

PIANO PLAY ITSELF?

MUSIC A LIE! BWAR!

[crash]

WE DEMAND PARTY! PARTY NOW, OR YAKS NO FRIENDS!

No! Just a little longer!

NO MORE LONGER! WE LEAVE NOW!

YAKS GO GET TRAIN! RETURN WITH MORE YAKS!

WE DECLARE WAR!

[gasp]

♪

No Pinkie Pie? What's this?

Heh heh. We panicked and tried to plan our own party.

It's sorta panic-themed.

The yaks are going home! This is awful!

I wanted to surprise Princess Celestia.

Now the only surprise is that I may have just started a war.

[whistling wind]

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!

And then they gave me a ride to Manehattan

and we played some shows here and there, got popular,

almost made it big until creative differences

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.

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.

Good luck, Pinkie Pie.

How could she be so late to the party? This isn't like her.

I'm sure she's trying her best.

Pinkie Pie's tougher than she looks.

I know you're right, but...I wish she was here.

I put too much pressure on her. I let everypony down.

And Princess Celestia will be here any minute

and see that I haven't made new friends. I've made new enemies.

[groan]

[clattering]

[screams]

[roar]

Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie! I'm looking for Yakyakistan.

You know: faraway land, lots of yaks. Maybe you've heard of it?

[roar]

Whoa, slow down, I can't understand a word you're saying.

[snarl]

[squeal]

There it is! Yakyakistan!

♪

Ooooooooh!

♪

Look at these. Pinkie Pie's made files for everypony in town.

With exactly what kind of parties we like.

Pinkie Pie has a Secret Party Planning Cave! How cool is this?

Twilight Sparkle likes vanilla ice cream,

red balloons, dancing.

That's right.

But she's afraid of quesadillas.

No I'm not!

They're just so

[shudder]

cheesy.

[scream]

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.

[indistinct chatter]

Applejack: Lookie here. It's notes for the party

she wants to throw for her folk's 50th anniversary.

But they ain't nearly that old.

Huh. She's already plannin' their 100th, too.

And their 500th?

I had no idea she worked so hard on her parties.

She may be more organized than you, Twilight.

Let's not get carried away.

I just wish Pinkie Pie were here

so we could tell her how much we all appreciate her hard work.

Thank you, thank you! I love you too, all of you!

I tried to go to Yakyakistan so I could bring something back

for my party but at the last second I made a mistake.

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.

What matters is how hard you tried.

Who else would've gone all across Equestria

to plan one party?

You know, the trip was really hard,

but everypony I met along the way was so helpful.

I just wish the yaks could see how friendly and wonderful

and great Equestria really is.

[huge gasp]

I JUST GOT THE BEST PARTY IDEA EVER!

It's too late. The yaks left on the last train.

Um, no they didn't.

Trust me, there are a whole lot of sheep out there.

So, do we walk back up the slide, or what?

YAKS STUCK HERE? WHY TRAINS NOT WORK? GRRRR!

I never thought I'd say this, but THANK YOU, SHEEP!

And now, if it's OK with you, it's party time.

[cheering]

♪

[laughter]

Wow, Pinkie, this came together quick, even for you.

What can I say? I'm good at what I do.

Prince Rutherford, every time we tried

to make something in Equestria feel like Yakyakistan,.

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 that means showing you why we love it here,

so you'll love it too.

Pink pony work hard to make yaks feel at home. Now yaks happy.

No declare war.

[relieved sigh]

Ponies and yaks. Friends?

For a thousand moons?

For a thousand MOONS!

[cheers]

I am very impressed, Princess.

Ha hah. Just doing my best to spread friendship.

And you did a wonderful job of it. You and your friends.

Pink Pony? You understand yaks now.

Aw, come here, you.

Wow, too strong. OK! OK! OK!
