TW: I can't believe that you to are sent to a friendship mission

AJ: That means nothing.

FS: You mean like the dragon kingdom is filled with dragons and crystal kingdom is made out of crystals!?

AJ: You have a point. So can you tell us about the place Twilight?

TW: I only know what Rockhoof told me. Back in the days, the peaks of peril were relatively unknown aside from the symbol on this ancient shield. According to it there used to be a group called kirin who lived there. They were known for their friendliness and honesty.

AJ: Now I know why the map summoned us.

TW: Unfortunately other creatures lived there too. Nirig. Fearful beasts made of fire.

FS: Oh. Maby you should go instead of me Twilight.

TW: Sorry Fluttershy. Cutiemarks doesn't lie.

AJ: I'm sure we'll be able to solve this friendship problem regardless of what creature who has it.

(Theme song)

AJ: Seems like no one wanted to ride longer than us.

FS: They might know something that we don't.

AJ: I've said this hundred times Fluttershy. There is no...

Conductor pony: *screams*

AJ and FS: *screams*

Conductor pony: Excuse me.

FS: You really scared us.

Conductor pony: It's just that I'm not used seeing ponies taking the train to the last station. Endstation. The last stop.

AJ: We get it. Why?

Conductor pony: There are only unexplored ground and wild beasts on that direction.

(Conductor pony laughs like a maniac.)

AJ: Maybe there's something to be afraid of.

AJ: This is where the peaks of perils must be at. Pretty though...Fluttershy? *groans*.

FS: There. Now you should have enough flowers to make this tree cozy.

AJ: Fluttershy! What are you doing? We don't have time to cuddle with rodents.  We are on a friendship mission.

FS: yeah butt...

AJ: Hurry! It's almost sunset.

FS: I know but I found out that...

AJ: We have to take that way. If we use rope and raw strength...

FS: APPLEJACK! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME. What I'm trying to say is that the squirrels showed me a shortcut they take to the kirin village.

AJ: Oh. I'm sorry Fluttershy. I got too excited about the adventure.

FS: It's okay. If you didn't come back for me, I would've talked with the squirrels all day.

AJ and FS: Huh.

FS: I hope it isn't a nirig.

AJ: Show yourself.

(Kirin approaches)

AJ: Hi. I'm Applejack and this is Fluttershy.

FS: IF you have friendship problems then we are here to help.

AJ: Huh. Talk about quiet. we are from equestria and we are happy to meet you.

(silence)

AJ: So what's your name?

(silence)

AJ: Applejack, Fluttershy. That's our names.

FS: They might not understand us.

AJ: Do you understand ponyish or...

(Kirrin leader nods)

FS: Oh. But you don't talk.

(Kirrin lead shakes heads.)

AJ: Can't or don't want to?

FS: Can you excuse us for a while? You have to ask yes or no questions otherwise, they won't answer.

AJ: Like when you talk with Angel?

FS Not really. I easily understand what Angel wants but the kirin shows no emotions at all.

AJ: But how are we supposed to solve this friendship problem if none of them tells us what it is?

(Screen fades to black)

AJ: The kirin is quieter than an apple flower in the snow. But there has to be something that makes them talk.

(applejack approaches kirin)

AJ: What a beautiful day, I'm I right?

(applejack approaches another kirin)

AJ: Knock knock. Now you say "who's there?"

(Kirin tilts head)

AJ: Please, Please whom. Please say something.

AJ: I Feel like I'm about to sneeze. Achoo!

FS: Bless you.

AJ Ugh. Is there none of you who talks?

(Kirin points at a direction.)

AJ: Now we're getting somewhere.

FS: A dark and scary path that leads to the unknown.

AJ: We'le do it this way sugar cube: you stay and try to squeeze something out the kirin. I'll go searching for someone who talks.

FS: Phew. Be careful. And watch out from the nirig.

AJ: Have you seen a kirin that talks.

(kirin shakes head)

AJ: Do you knew where I can search.

(Kirin tilts head)

AJ: For celestias sake...can't you just say something?

Kirin: Gotcha. Sorry, sorry. it was just too funny You have no idea how much I miss jokes. Humoristic. Is that how it's pronounced. There so much I haven't said for so lon...long. Long.*

Note: she pronounced the word "long" wrong and corrects herself.

Kirin: Hi. I'm Automblaze. You came recently? You might be tired or hungry or overwhelmed and want to sleep eat think? And you should do that of course but first-

(Automblaze hugs Applejack)

oh, it's so fun to talk to someone. It was such a long time ago. you have to tell everything about yourself. There is so much to say so much to do.

(Automblaze leaps)

Oh, what am I doing? I just talk about myself and you haven't said- or have you said-? What am I saying, of course, you haven't. You have to- I will- just follow me.

AJ: I understood like half.

AJ. Wow. This is amazing.

(Sees rainbow)

Automblaze: You think so too? The way the light shimmering everywhere. Like everything woke up the moment you saw it and understood that maybe the water, mountains, forests and the rainbow and the star in heaven looking back at us and thinking the same thing: That we are a part of the universe, that we together are one, that everything is together.

AJ:...I would have said it's...beautiful but yes.

Automblaze. Oh, this is just the first stop on a trip with wonderful things to see, smell and touch. I haven't cheered this with anyone since everyone took that oath of silence. So this is much for me to process, proceed, eh handle*

note: she corrects herself again.

AJ: An oath of silence?

Automblaze: That's why I had to leave them.

AJ: Unbelievable. No one should stop feeling their own feelings just to avoid anger.

Automblaze: Just what I said...when I started talking again.

AJ: This must be the problem I and Fluttershy came to help you with.

Automblaze: Is that true. Who is Fluttershy? Have you named your own shadow? Mine name is "countries sunset dark silhouette."

AJ: Okay...well I was thinking, if we talk to the other kirin we might convince them to let you back there perhaps convince them to take your cure.

Automblaze: Oh yes. Yes, how good. Um, but there is one problem. The cure I sang about is gone.

AJ: Is there nothing left?

Automblaze: I used the last flowers to make the cure but I haven't seen any flowers ever since.

AJ: If it would've been easy there wouldn't have been a friendship problem.

(AJ runs to kirin village)

AJ: I will get your friends to welcome you back!

Automblaze: Hey between you and me. I'm not sure they will make it.

Automblazes leaf hoof: No.

Automblaze: But I hope she'll make it.

(Screen fades to black)

AJ: Fluttershy! Listen to this.

AJ and FS: I know what the friendship problem is. Same here. You start.

AJ: That is a problem the kirin don't have.

FS: Exactly.

AJ: Anyway. We have to make them talk to each other.

FS: What? Nonononono. That can never happen.

AJ: Didn't you say you solved the friendship problem, or did I misunderstand it completely.

FS: Normally the kirin is calm and peaceful but when they become angry they turn to nirig. Creatures made of fire and pure anger.

AJ: That sounded less scary when you sing it.

FS: Next time they fought they got so angry they accidentally destroyed their own village. The kirin then decided to never let this happen again.

AJ: But you can't stop talking just because of that.

FS: Of course you can. Fire is dangerous. Especially in such a tight forest. Think about the animals that could get hurt.

AJ: Not if they're not turning into fire-breathing nirig.

FS: How are we supposed to know that won't happen.

AJ: There must be a better way then to give up your own emotions.

FS: Applejack, you're not listening.

AJ: Just because you talk a load of rubbish.

(Kirin surrounds AJ and FS.)

FS: What are they doing?

FS: They might have gotten worried when we fought?

AJ: Oh no. We just had a normal argument. I promise.

FS: Where are you taking us?

AJ: Stream of silence. If we get in the water we'le never be able to talk or feel ever again.

Automblaze: Putt them down!

AJ: It's okay. I think I know who she is. She's trying to help us.

Automblaze: Of course. I can't let them silence the only friend that I have.

FS: She talks?

AJ: She can barely be quiet. Fluttershy, this is Automblaze.

FS: Thank you for this...eh...ring of fire. I thought you kirin got dangerous when you got angry.? How did you learn to manage your anger?

Automblaze: No idea. I guess anger is just like all the other feeling. It's not dangerous to have them, it's about what you do with them.

AJ: To give up happiness to avoid anger is not the way to live.

FS: I never thought of it that way. I can't imagine how it would be like not to talk with my animal friends.

Automblaze: Funflair. You used to laugh at everything. And rainchair(?) you used to sing so beautifully.  Don't you miss that?

AJ: I know you are afraid of fighting. But friends can differ without catastrophe.

FS: We all get angry sometimes. Even me and Applejack argues.

AJ: What? Sence when did we ever fight?

FS: On the way here and the thing with kirig and right now.

AJ: We don't always agree with each other but we don't let that get between our friendship.

FS: If you ever get upset you can walk away and turn into a nirig so no one gets hurt.

(Kirin trying to say something)

AJ: I think it's trying to say something.

Automblaze: Okay, are you hungry? Oh no, did someone fell down a well? Okay. Baby? Bayfish, babyfishmouth? Something. Anything.  Write or something.

(Automblace getting mad)

Automblaze: I'm getting pissed off. Excuse me a moment. I'll be right back.

Automblaze: Where were we?

Automblaze: Oh, you want to the cure to the stream of silence.

FS: That is wonderful. Or?

AJ: It would have but there is no flower left to brew up a cure.

FS: Are you sure.

Automblaze: Yes more than certain. Beleive me, I had a lot of free time. I've searched in this forest 73.5 times. I wonder if the last half could make a difference?

(Automblaze runs off)

FS: Hmm. I wish she told us what flowers she was looking for.

AJ: They're called (fantasy word) flowers.

FS: Nothing I ever heard of.

(squeals talks)

AJ: Fluttershy could you help?

FS: He says he knows where the flowers are.

AJ: What are we waiting for.? Show us the way.

(AJ and FS back at the squirrel)

FS: So that's how the flowers look like?

AJ: Automblaze never got of the heights to search here. I want to apologize.

FS: Why?

AJ: Because if your kindness didn't encourage you to help the squirrels, we wouldn't have found these flowers.

FS: If you honesty didn't encourage the kirins to talk then we wouldn't have to find the flowers.

AJ: Fortunately the map decided to send us both.

Automblaze: You found them! Where did you find them? Don't be afraid to leave out any complicated details and funny comments.

(AJ and FS tares at Automblaze)

Automblaze: Oh. Okay, one thing at a time.

(kirins drinks the cure.)

Kirin leader: Automblaze. You have given us a great gift. The insight that anger is within us. That it is our choice how we a let it out. It would be an honor if you wanted to move back with us. I can't express how much we have missed your beautiful voice.

Automblaze: Cause rainbows won't light up in the sky unless you let it rain. And candle just won't glow until they're burned. But you can't give up your laughter because you're scared of a little pain. It,s a lesson that the kirin learned. Cause rainbows won't light up in the sky unless you let it...rain.
