1
00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:14,610
Celestia(VO): There's nothing in this world
quite so amazing as the first winter's snow.

2
00:00:19,090 --> 00:00:23,370
The first few flakes falling from
the sky, signifying great change.

3
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:33,010
The time for the land to rest

4
00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:40,010
The animals, to dream

5
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:44,450
And the ponies of Equestria
to relax and play

6
00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:50,210
Knowing another year has
successfully reached its eve

7
00:00:50,210 --> 00:00:53,270
holiday celebrations

8
00:00:53,290 --> 00:00:57,770
peaceful nights of rest

9
00:00:57,770 --> 00:01:00,830
Brisk laughter in the day

10
00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:05,650
All brought forth by a
single, powdery fragment.

11
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:09,960
Some may scoff at the idea, that something
so small could hold so much power.

12
00:01:13,970 --> 00:01:18,039
But they are the ones who have forgotten
how the snowflake came to be.

13
00:01:26,810 --> 00:01:29,970
Windith: The eve following the
spring sunrise, the rain pegasi

14
00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:32,918
will bring forth the snow-melting
showers from the south

15
00:01:32,930 --> 00:01:37,040
can anypony tell me the southern nation
that allows equestria to collect

16
00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:39,730
their warm-front cloud system?

17
00:01:39,730 --> 00:01:41,610
Cirrus?

18
00:01:42,690 --> 00:01:47,391
Cirrus: uh...Ande...

19
00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:49,209
Zibber...

20
00:01:49,410 --> 00:01:51,170
Windith: Camelu.

21
00:01:51,370 --> 00:01:52,640
Cirrus: Oh. Yeah.

22
00:01:53,650 --> 00:01:57,930
Cumulo Nimbus: Wherever it is, they need to
hurry up and go get the front. It's. Freezing.

23
00:01:58,930 --> 00:02:02,681
Windith: They couldn't produce the rain yet
even if they were back with the weather system.

24
00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:07,570
the land still needs time to rest. That's
the only reason we create winter to help

25
00:02:07,570 --> 00:02:11,080
rejuvenate the soil for
the earth ponies below.

26
00:02:11,090 --> 00:02:13,180
Nimbus: Well I'm sick of waiting

27
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:18,270
Windith: you won't have to wait much longer
the springs sunrise is only two days away

28
00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:22,150
then you won't have to see a
speck of snow for a whole year!

29
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:25,610
On that note how is everyone coming
along with their spring sunrise

30
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:29,010
presentations? Is everypony and their
partner ready to present their seasonal

31
00:02:29,010 --> 00:02:30,410
gifts to the princesses?

32
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:34,250
Snowdrop?

33
00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:36,440
How is your project coming?

34
00:02:36,730 --> 00:02:40,389
Snowdrop: My... uh... my  project?

35
00:02:41,330 --> 00:02:48,330
Windith: Yes, are you and your partner
ready to present? Snowdrop: My partner...?

36
00:02:48,330 --> 00:02:50,920
Windith: Do you not have a partner still?

37
00:02:50,930 --> 00:02:55,650
Snowdrop, this isn't just a small school project.
This is the one hundreth

38
00:02:55,690 --> 00:02:58,600
spring sunrise under the princesses' rule

39
00:02:58,610 --> 00:03:02,480
They've honored us with the opportunity to
show what Cloudsdale's future can create

40
00:03:02,490 --> 00:03:04,880
to invigorate the seasons

41
00:03:04,890 --> 00:03:07,610
Have you even begun your work?

42
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:11,810
Classmate: Ms. Windith is going to make
somepony work with her again, isn't she

43
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:15,791
Classmate2: It's not like she can make anything
when she can't see in front of her own face...

44
00:03:15,810 --> 00:03:19,810
Classmate3: We worked with
her last time, you do it!

45
00:03:19,810 --> 00:03:22,000
Snowdrop: Of... course I've started!

46
00:03:22,010 --> 00:03:24,930
I've actually been working on
something for a while now.

47
00:03:24,930 --> 00:03:28,650
...by myself, because it's a...

48
00:03:28,650 --> 00:03:33,025
A surprise! Nimbus: A surprise?
Snowdrop: Uhuh. A surprise.

49
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:37,410
That's why I wanted
to work alone--

50
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:44,690
Windith: Alright everypony, be careful going home.
Remember to bring in your projects for

51
00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:46,210
a final work day.

52
00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:49,210
The princesses arrive in two days!

53
00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:53,730
Are you sure you'll be ready

54
00:03:53,970 --> 00:03:56,450
working by yourself can't be easy

55
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:59,570
I can still place you in another
group, you'll get credit.

56
00:03:59,570 --> 00:04:01,311
Snowdrop: Oh. No!

57
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:04,959
I have something really good
planned, Ms. Windith. You'll see!

58
00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:09,450
But, it has to be a surprise. It has to!

59
00:04:09,450 --> 00:04:11,530
Windith: Alright then...

60
00:04:11,530 --> 00:04:15,470
be careful going home. I know you know you
know your way but the last blizzard of

61
00:04:15,490 --> 00:04:20,650
the year's always the
worst Snowdrop: I will!

62
00:04:20,650 --> 00:04:26,290
Really good surprise... Sure.

63
00:04:38,850 --> 00:04:40,609
I can't go to the spring sunrise.

64
00:04:41,730 --> 00:04:44,230
I just can't.

65
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:48,750
A useless foal like me could
never make anything for spring.

66
00:04:48,770 --> 00:04:55,770
The princesses would
just laugh at me, and...

67
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:01,369
You can wish on them?

68
00:05:01,370 --> 00:05:05,286
Primrose: Yes. Once there was a time
you couldn't, when stars were rare.

69
00:05:05,290 --> 00:05:10,730
But when the princesses came, the
stars began to come out every night.

70
00:05:10,730 --> 00:05:14,071
I bet if you listened you
could hear them twinkle.

71
00:05:14,090 --> 00:05:16,050
Snowdrop: No I couldn't...

72
00:05:16,050 --> 00:05:20,520
Primrose: You listen better
than anypony I know.

73
00:05:20,530 --> 00:05:22,239
Snowdrop: All I hear is quiet.

74
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:25,090
I'd rather see them.

75
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:29,570
Do you think if I wished hard
enough they'd let me see them?

76
00:05:29,570 --> 00:05:32,439
Primrose: It's better to
save your wishes, Snowdrop,

77
00:05:32,450 --> 00:05:35,071
for something you really need.

78
00:05:35,090 --> 00:05:36,890
Snowdrop: Don't I really need my eyes?

79
00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:39,570
Primrose: No, not you.

80
00:05:39,570 --> 00:05:43,081
You're too special for that.
Snowdrop: I am?

81
00:05:43,090 --> 00:05:48,449
Primrose: Who else can discover an entire
cloud's shape without denting the surface?

82
00:05:48,450 --> 00:05:52,050
Only one little filly's wings and
hooves are careful enough to do that.

83
00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:57,889
And I bet if you listened you would
hear the stars twinkling at night.

84
00:05:57,890 --> 00:06:01,641
You're a special filly my Snowdrop.

85
00:06:01,650 --> 00:06:06,088
Don't worry. You won't need your eyes
to find your place in the world.

86
00:06:06,090 --> 00:06:08,651
Snowdrop: I think I
hear the twinkles...

87
00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:17,870
Twinkles...

88
00:06:17,890 --> 00:06:20,810
What good are twinkles.

89
00:06:20,810 --> 00:06:23,570
You can't wish on twinkles...

90
00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:28,570
I don't know if one of
you is out there tonight

91
00:06:28,570 --> 00:06:30,810
in all the snow...

92
00:06:30,930 --> 00:06:37,290
I don't think you are...

93
00:06:37,290 --> 00:06:40,290
But, please, if you are... I...

94
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:50,085
I wish... I hope... I dream... I pray.

95
00:06:50,850 --> 00:06:57,850
By the princesses' rule, light my way.
Please, I...

96
00:07:01,730 --> 00:07:07,770
I just want to show I can
do something for once.

97
00:07:07,770 --> 00:07:10,490
Everyone else says I can't do anything

98
00:07:12,690 --> 00:07:14,690
But I just...

99
00:07:22,850 --> 00:07:24,850
But... that wasn't snow.

100
00:07:30,970 --> 00:07:32,970
Snow... snow is...

101
00:07:38,130 --> 00:07:42,010
Primrose(VO): You listen
better than anypony I know.

102
00:07:42,010 --> 00:07:44,420
Snowdrop(VO): Tell me more about the stars

103
00:07:45,850 --> 00:07:48,130
Primrose(VO): Well there
are all sorts of stars

104
00:07:48,130 --> 00:07:50,130
All different shapes and sizes

105
00:07:51,090 --> 00:07:55,250
But they all have little
points at their edges

106
00:07:55,250 --> 00:07:56,589
When they sparkle,
their shapes shift

107
00:07:57,170 --> 00:08:01,560
They leave little glowing
spaces, only for a moment.

108
00:08:01,570 --> 00:08:06,090
And the few that streak across
the sky and fall to the earth

109
00:08:06,970 --> 00:08:07,930
The shooting stars

110
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:15,050
Those are the ones you make your strongest
wishes on, because they can carry them through.

111
00:08:22,570 --> 00:08:25,570
Primrose: Snowdrop! What are you doing!?

112
00:08:25,570 --> 00:08:28,930
It's freezing! Come inside.

113
00:08:28,930 --> 00:08:31,930
Snowdrop: Mother...
Mother, look!

114
00:08:40,810 --> 00:08:44,570
Celestia: Thank you all very much your hard work.

115
00:08:44,570 --> 00:08:48,310
After a long winter, it is wonderful
to see so many young filly's and colts

116
00:08:48,330 --> 00:08:51,401
bring us such wonderful ideas
to make the seasons shine.

117
00:08:52,370 --> 00:08:55,930
Now, we can only choose one for
the centenial symbol, but...

118
00:08:55,930 --> 00:08:57,950
Snowdrop: Wait!

119
00:09:02,370 --> 00:09:04,640
Classmate1: She's here?

120
00:09:04,650 --> 00:09:06,650
Classmate2: She didn't show
up to class at all yesterday.

121
00:09:06,650 --> 00:09:08,650
Classmate3: I thought
Ms. Windith excused her.

122
00:09:08,690 --> 00:09:10,010
Windith: Snowdrop?

123
00:09:10,290 --> 00:09:13,290
Primrose: Forgive us the interruption,
your highnesses, it's just--

124
00:09:13,530 --> 00:09:17,530
Snowdrop: I've been working so hard! Please,
I have a gift for the seasons to and-

125
00:09:17,530 --> 00:09:19,210
Nimbus: Doubt that.

126
00:09:20,050 --> 00:09:21,330
Celestia: May we see it?

127
00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:31,570
Cirrus: You brought snow?
Nimbus: And just one little dot of it!

128
00:09:31,570 --> 00:09:34,080
Classmate2: Maybe she grabbed the
wrong thing on her way here?

129
00:09:34,090 --> 00:09:37,000
Classmate1: Why would you bring snow
to the spring sunrise?

130
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:40,040
Snowdrop: It's not snow, I made a star.

131
00:09:40,050 --> 00:09:44,370
Cirrus: A star? You can't make stars.
It doesn't even look like one!

132
00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:47,210
Snowdrop: Maybe it doesn't look
like one but it's still a star!

133
00:09:47,810 --> 00:09:49,330
It's a star for winter!

134
00:09:50,330 --> 00:09:52,570
I can't see what the stars
look like out there.

135
00:09:53,450 --> 00:09:55,850
Just like I can't see
what spring looks like

136
00:09:56,650 --> 00:10:01,570
But I can hear it all, and I heard the snow
twinkling just like the stars do every night!

137
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:06,400
So they should be able to grant
wishes too, shouldn't they?

138
00:10:06,410 --> 00:10:12,090
Winter's been giving us a gift this entire
time and we've jsut been ignore it!

139
00:10:12,650 --> 00:10:15,010
Celebrating spring is good

140
00:10:16,170 --> 00:10:18,850
But, winter can't be all
bad if it gives us these.

141
00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:20,870
It may be cold and dark...

142
00:10:21,410 --> 00:10:23,890
But that doesn't mean there
isn't any good to it.

143
00:10:24,650 --> 00:10:30,530
Maybe winter is sad that
everypony doesn't like it.

144
00:10:31,090 --> 00:10:34,200
So maybe we need to make
wishes on the winter snow

145
00:10:34,290 --> 00:10:37,250
just like how we wish on the night stars

146
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:40,870
Maybe then we can have
a happy winter instead

147
00:10:41,210 --> 00:10:45,970
We already have a happy
spring, and summer, and fall.

148
00:10:46,530 --> 00:10:47,850
Can't winter be happy too?

149
00:10:49,530 --> 00:10:53,410
Because, winter is important.

150
00:10:54,050 --> 00:11:00,010
Even if it seems useless, it can
give us wonderful things, so...

151
00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:05,410
Luna: May we see your wishing snow?

152
00:11:08,450 --> 00:11:11,490
Celestia: Could you make us some more?

153
00:11:24,130 --> 00:11:26,316
Celestia(VO): the following
year's snowfall was one

154
00:11:26,330 --> 00:11:28,603
of the most celebrated
events in equestrian history

155
00:11:29,610 --> 00:11:34,610
Winter's blessings had
at last been discovered.

156
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:36,360
From then on, snows were gentle

157
00:11:36,970 --> 00:11:41,910
behaving the weather team's wishes.

158
00:11:41,930 --> 00:11:45,170
Foals could play
Ponies could see beyond the icy chill.

159
00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:50,860
and a new sort of starfall could
bring everypony sweat dreams.

160
00:11:55,130 --> 00:11:58,040
Luna: Is it really the last one we have?

161
00:11:58,050 --> 00:12:01,210
Celestia: It has been over
a thousand years, sister.

162
00:12:01,210 --> 00:12:03,970
And she only made so many.

163
00:12:03,970 --> 00:12:05,810
Luna: Can we not save it?

164
00:12:05,810 --> 00:12:08,633
Celestia: You know she
wouldn't've wanted that.

165
00:12:08,650 --> 00:12:12,530
Luna: But she... I.. I never got to.

166
00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:17,650
Celestia: I am sorry for that. I
know she was a dear friend to you.

167
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:21,010
Luna: The only one who
