Applejack Arc
Hello, Princess Luna! We wanted to see how you were doing, given... You know...
Yes... I am... Fine. Simply attempting to keep myself busy while waiting for Tiberius to come back...
About that: My friends and I would like to help you to find him! And Applejack in particular has a few ideas about how.
Sure do! Shucks, I dunno how I'd feel if my dog Winona went missing, other 'n "low as all get out"...
Which is why I'm gonna put you through Sweet Apple Acres Harvest Observation trainin', straightaway! Once you're through, you'll be able to spot your Tiberius quicker 'n an apple falls from a tree!

Yes... YES! I believe I am growing accustomed to this training method! PROVIDE ME WITH MORE PAIRS AT ONCE, THAT I MAY FIND THEM! ... Please!
Heh... Easy there, Princess! We'll get to that -- but it's important to know when to switch to a more hooves-on activity! Like now, for instance...
How's about ya try and clear out some of the fruit bats 'round here? Careful, now -- they're real quick!
How's about ya try and clear out some of the fruit bats 'round here? Careful, now -- they're real quick!
Whew...! That was... bracing. And more entertaining than expected! A real test of observational skill, spotting those fruit bats in the wild...
I'm glad ya think so! Now, let's use what ya learned in another round of harvest trainin' -- but up the ante a little this time! Ya need to be PERFECT, or I'm not gonna count it!

Well, congratulations, Princess: I don't think there's anything left for me to teach ya! Unless... you wanna help out with the apple harvest? You know, unofficial-like!
Well, to that I say... er... "yeee-haw...?"
Ha haaa! That's the spirit!
Ha haaa! That's the spirit!
Nice work today, Princess! Y'know... I'm sure it ain't easy for you, with Tiberius missin' and all.
But you should know: Just like you pitched in for us today, you can always ask for help from YOUR friends when ya need it!
That's kind of you, Applejack, but I wouldn't want to waste anypony's time--
Ahh, hogwash! Friendship is NEVER "wastin' time" -- and you know it! In fact, why don't ya try makin' a new friend right now? I think it'd do ya good!

Fluttershy Arc
Erm... H-Hello, Princess Luna. It's Fluttershy. R-Remember me...?
From all the times you and your friends have saved Equestria from peril and catastrophe? Yes, Fluttershy. I do!
O-Oh... Yes, I suppose that makes sense...! A-Anyway, I had an idea that... maybe we could ask some of my animal friends to help find Tiberius?
I can ask them to look for him... That is... If you'd like me to?
I can ask them to look for him... That is... If you'd like me to?
So... My animal friends came back to me, and... T-They have bad news. They keep getting tangled up in vines, and... and they think Tiberius might be, too! Ohh, I'm SO sorry--
No need for apologies, Fluttershy: This is a time for ACTION! If any animal is being endangered by overgrown vines, then we must prune those vines posthaste!

Take that, foul vines! No more shall you bedevil innocent wildlife -- so says PRINCESS LUNA!
... Erm... What do we do now?
Wait! But... While we do, m-maybe we could spruce the town up a bit...? J-Just because it would make things more welcoming! For... for everycreature. ...Including Tiberius!

Well, that DOES look delightful, but... there's still no sign of Tiberius. *sigh...* I wonder what else we can do.
I'm sorry, Princess Luna, but... all we can do is wait now. Patience is always the best tool when you're working with shy animals.
B-But... We can always do something fun in the meantime! You know... To take your mind off things...?

TIBERIUS!!! Oh... No. It was just a hedgehog.
I-I'm sorry... I thought it was him, too! I suppose we'll just have to keep waiting... But before I have to get back to work, I thought we could do one last fun thing together...?

Twilight Sparkle Arc
Princess Luna! It's good to see you again... Sorry it's not under better circumstances. Rainbow Dash told me about what happened in the mines...
It isn't your fault that we didn't find Tiberius there... Or Rainbow Dash's, for that matter. But I do appreciate the sentiment, Twilight. Thank you.
You're welcome! And I think I might have made a breakthrough in that regard. I've been developing a new "Opossum Locationator" spell you can help me out with! It does involve a LITTLE bit of karaoke...

Hmm... That spell wasn't quite as effective as I'd thought. Maybe there's something that's blocking the location-ational energy around here...? Let's figure out what!

Okay... That should do it! Now, let's take it from the top, and dance our hearts out! Metaphorically AND magically speaking!

It didn't work... How could it not work?
I don't know, Twilight... But I'm not certain my dancing was sprightly enough to be magically productive. In fact, I'm starting to think this entire enterprise is doomed to fail....
Oh, no... It isn't -- but I think maybe we've been focusing too much on looking for Tiberius and not enough on making sure YOU'RE okay. How about we take a beat to just... do something fun?

Ha ha...! I'd like to thank you, Twilight -- you and your friends. Not just for helping me look for Tiberius, but for caring about my well-being.
Perhaps... searching for my lost pet is a marathon, not a sprint. And if that's the case, then the best thing I can do is to keep my own spirits up until he returns! Starting with...

Rainbow Dash Arc
Princess Luna, you're here! Good! Fluttershy said I should swap in for her -- so let's find that opossum TOGETHER!
... Oh! Hello, Rainbow Dash. You... er... you sound as if you have a plan?
YES! I've been scouring the sky to see if I could spot Tiberius -- and since I haven't yet, there's only one place he could be: UNDERGROUND! Pack your bags, Princess, 'cause we're going to the mines!
YES! I've been scouring the sky to see if I could spot Tiberius -- and since I haven't yet, there's only one place he could be: UNDERGROUND! Pack your bags, Princess, 'cause we're going to the mines!
Hmm... No Tiberius anywhere.
Yes, that's been my experience as well. Perhaps we should--
OH! You know what's probably the problem? All the parasprite nests around here! Some of 'em burrow underground, you know -- it might be affecting the mine's... uh... ecosystem. Anyway: Let's get rid of 'em!
OH! You know what's probably the problem? All the parasprite nests around here! Some of 'em burrow underground, you know -- it might be affecting the mine's... uh... ecosystem. Anyway: Let's get rid of 'em!
Right! Now that the parasprites are gone, we can get back to searching the mine! Which, again, is the ONLY place Tiberius could be, otherwise I would've found him already. Yeah!

Rainbow Dash, this has been a rather bracing experience, but perhaps we could... er... go back to the surface n--
NO! I will NOT let an opossum beat me. He must be here SOMEWHERE, we just need to... OH! Attract him with something shiny. Like Gems! Yeah! Then Tiberius has GOTTA show up!

Uh... I'm... really sorry, Princess. I got a little carried away, and didn't listen to you -- OR find Tiberius. I hope you can forgive me!
There's nothing to forgive. In fact, I'm grateful for your enthusiasm!
But perhaps... might we end the day by doing something a bit more pleasant? And a little less underground?

Rarity Arc
Princess Luna! Delightful to see you as always. Now, Twilight has filled me in on your recent situation, and I'd be happy to offer my services as a private investigator--
Thank you, Rarity, but I really am quite busy. Improving Canterlot and its environs has rather captured my interest as of late! After all, I AM a princess. It's the least I can do!
Oh. Well, that's... a very commendable attitude! As a matter of fact -- if you're amenable to taking requests -- there's one shop here in Canterlot that might benefit from your assistance...

That was quite rewarding in its own right! In fact... I think it would be worthwhile to clean up Canterlot's public spaces more generally. Why don't we give it a try?

The city looks just lovely, Princess... But I've always thought that, once you've cleared away the negative, that's exactly when you should begin accentuating the positive!
Or, to put it another way: Think about what you would add to make Canterlot BETTER now that you've gotten rid of all that corruption.
Hmm... Let me see...
Hmm... Let me see...
Ahhh... You know, I think I'm really getting the hang of this! I do have one more idea that might really complete the overall city plan, though...
Imported Totems from the Everfree Forest! They're both attractive AND magically potent: perfect for enhancing Canterlot's arcane defenses.
Why, Princess Luna... I do believe you're a natural at this! Let's contact Zecora straightaway -- I'm sure she'd be happy to help.

And now that you've built Canterlot up into an even grander city than it was before... I say it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor! And there are quite a few of them to collect...

Pinkie Pie Arc
HI PRINCESS!!! I heard you needed help "keeping your spirits up," and I came right over, and I've planned SO MANY THINGS FOR US TO DO!!!
That's very kind of you, Pinkie Pie, but I was just about to return to my research on ways to find T--
Research? No-no-no-noooo. No research for you! You're going to focus on having FUN! With meeeee!!! STARTING NOW!!!
Research? No-no-no-noooo. No research for you! You're going to focus on having FUN! With meeeee!!! STARTING NOW!!!
You know, Princess Luna, you remind me A LOT of Twilight. You loooooooooooove thinkin' about ALL your responsibilities... Even when you're trying to have fun!
I suppose that's true... I just wish to feel useful, that's all!
Ohhhh... Yeah, I definitely get that! It's why I love baking, after all. Well, why don't we find something to do that's useful AND fun?
Ohhhh... Yeah, I definitely get that! It's why I love baking, after all. Well, why don't we find something to do that's useful AND fun?
See? Useful AND fun! After all that cleaning, I think we deserve a treat... A SURPRISE treat! Like from one of those SURPRISE boxes!
Ohh, I just LOVE surprise boxes. Who knows what's in 'em? Could be ANYTHING! Could be EVERYTHING! That's what makes it so much fun!
Erm... All right... (Please don't be a magical mirror, please don't be a magical mirror, please don't be a magical mirror...)
Erm... All right... (Please don't be a magical mirror, please don't be a magical mirror, please don't be a magical mirror...)
So many surprises...! Oooh, I can't WAIT to put some of these in my house! It's going to SO MUCH PRETTIER!
Yes, but isn't it going to be a little more... cluttered, as well?
Maybe! But it's still SUPER FUN to have everything you like all kinda... snuggled up around you. Have you never done that?
Not recently... But then again, I've lived on the moon for the majority of my life, and it was... rather sparse, up there. Maybe I could begin by arranging some decor OUTSIDE, instead of indoors...?

Ohhh, Princess Luna. It's so PRETTY...! I LOVE it! Ooh, just THINK about how welcome all the visitors to town will feel, seeing all this fancy new stuff!
Welcoming visitors to Canterlot... You know, it's been some time since I've done that! And I'd always thought of it as a uniquely royal duty, in my youth... Perhaps I'd better make a habit of it again!

Luna Arc
Yes! And now, for the finishing touch... I shall debut the last overarching decorative theme, for the city as a whole! (Ohh, I AM getting the hang of this, aren't I...?)

Princess Luna! O-Oh, Princess Luna! I'm so sorry, and I... I know it's been AGES, but... my animal friends haven't heard anything about Tiberius yet, and--
Fluttershy... There's no need to apologize. Tiberius will return to me in his own time...
And until he does, I am far more interested in what I can do to HELP your animal friends, rather than how they can help ME. So... What can I do to thank them for all their hard work?
Oh! W-Well... You could... feed them with me? I think they'd like that... And I'd like it, too!
Oh! W-Well... You could... feed them with me? I think they'd like that... And I'd like it, too!
Ahh... That was quite... well, tiring. But centering, as well!
This whole experience has been, really. Looking back on everypony I've helped, and all I've done for my home city... there's always more work to do, but I have much to be thankful for.

Luna! I've finally managed to clear my schedule... How are you doing? Busy, I've heard...
Ha ha! Well, you could say that, yes. But, thinking about it... I've missed your company quite a lot these days, sister. Why don't we go on an excursion together, just the two of us?
Why, Luna... I would be delighted to!
Why, Luna... I would be delighted to!
Luna...!? Luna! Ohh, where IS she...? And after I spent SO much time revising my "Opossum Locationator" spell, too!
Well, I guess I can get started on casting it now -- that way, whenever she gets back, Tiberius will be here to meet her! And maybe that will finally cheer her up...
Besides, it'll take a LONG time to set up. The "Opossum Locationator Mark Two" is based on the principle that "the searched-for item is always in the LAST place you look"...
Which means part of the spell is ritualistically looking under absolutely every rock, weed, and magically-corrupted obstacle you can find! So... I'd better get started.

... Phew! That... uh... that took a WHILE. But it's done now -- which means I can move on to the testing phase!
I'm going to cast a bare-bones version of the spell, first... But if it's working correctly, it should find a pet -- a very SPECIAL pet -- and pair it with a very special pony!

Okay! Okay... That... MOSTLY worked. But I'm still not getting a read on Tiberius, for some reason...
Maybe... It's because I haven't directed the spell energies at every POSSIBLE place in Equestria yet? Yeah! That's probably it. (...I hope that's it.)

Uh-oh... I think Twilight may be keeping TOO busy. That's... unfortunately familiar.
Uh... Twilight?
Not now, Spike! I'm TROUBLESHOOTING!
Let's see... OH! Sure, the spell might not have located Tiberius YET, but that's probably because I haven't directed it at every possible PONY in Equestria, too! M-Maybe one of THEM knows where he is...?

Hey, Twilight! I know you're... uh... VERY busy, but I thought you might want to know that--
Still no Tiberius?! O-OKAY! Maybe I just... need to recheck my spellcraft! Yeah! Because MAYBE I miswrote one of the variables in one of the MANY arcane formulas I formulated!!! THAT MUST BE IT.

Hello again, Twilight Sparkle.
SHUSH, Princess Luna! Can't you see I'm busy?! I have to fix my Opossum Locationator spell so I can find Tiberius before PRINCESS LUNA gets back--
... Eep.
Ha ha! Well, I thank you for your diligence... but I think I know why your spell hasn't been working. You see, I found Tiberius some time ago, while out journeying with my sister!
W-What!? But... But...! I did all the things...!!! And he was already location-ated the whole time, but... Where is he?!
Resting at home, at present... He's had a long journey back here with me -- but we had many wonderful adventures along the way.
You know, I think he found me when I was ready for him... when I stopped obsessing, and really focused on how I could better the world around me. For the ponies I love and care about!
And on that note, I think it's past time that you should do the same! To relax, take a break, and enjoy the company of ponies close to you.
After all, you know what they say about friendship...
Ha ha! I sure do!
Ha ha! I sure do!
