Once upon a time, in a magical land of Equestria...

...there were two regal sisters who ruled together...

...and created harmony for all the land.

To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn...

...the younger brought out the moon to begin the night.

Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects:

All the different types of ponies.

But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful.

The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth...

...but shunned and slept through her beautiful night.

One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn.

The elder sister tried to reason with her...

...but the bitterness in the young one's heart...

...had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness:

Nightmare Moon.

She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night.

Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom:

The Elements of Harmony!

Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister...

...and banished her permanently in the moon.

The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon....

...and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since.

Hm... Elements of Harmony.

I know I've heard of those before.

But where?

My Little Pony, My Little Pony... Aaaaah...

My Little Pony

I used to wonder what friendship could be.

My Little Pony

Until you all shared its magic with me.

Big adventure Tons of fun

A beautiful heart Faithful and strong

Sharing kindness It's an easy feat

And magic makes it all complete!

You have My Little Pony...

Do you know you are my very best friends?

There you are, Twilight!

Moondancer is having a little get-together in the west castle courtyard.
