Original Description:
When Bright Eyes first comes to the school, Twilight has the Young Six give her a tour.
Bright Eyes: That’s great, guys! (looks saddened) Really… really… great…
Ocellus: You okay, Bright Eyes?
Bright Eyes: Oh, yeah! I’m find, really. It’s just…
Gallus: Just what?
Silverstream: Oooh! Is it too secret?
Bright Eyes: No. But I’m not sure you guys wanna know?
Yona: Know about what?
Bright Eyes: Well… in Manehattan, I heard a lot things said about each of your kind. Well, except your’s, Silverstream. Since Hippogryphs spent most of their lives hidding under water.
Silverstream: That’s true.
Bright Eyes: And the things I heard, were not nice things.
Smolder: And just how not nice were they?
Bright Eyes: Very not nice. I was told, (to Gallus and Smolder) that all griffins and dragons are rude, selfish, nasty, greedy, jerks and bullies who anything but nice! Especially to ponies.
(Gallus and Smolder frown, feeling offended)
Bright Eyes: (to Ocellus) And that Changelings are vicious love-sucking parasites! Even after you turned good.
(Ocellus is on the verge of tears)
Bright Eyes: (to Yona) And that yaks are loud, destructive, obsessed with perfection, and smash everything in sight!
Yona: Yaks not smash everything…
(Gallus, Smolder, Ocellus, Yona look saddened by the fact that some ponies think bad of their kind)
Bright Eyes: But I never listened to any of that junk!
(Young Six are surprised)
Yona: Pony not think bad things about us?
Bright Eyes: Absolutely not.
Smolder: How come?
Bright Eyes: Because I was taught to never judge a book by it’s cover. And since then, I’ve lived by it. I know that not all griffions, dragons, yaks, and especially changelings are bad. And I’ve had some experiences to prove it. When my family and I went to vist my grandponies in Fillydelphia, I met a dragon named Mina and she was really nice. And on my way to the school, I met a griffion named Gabby and she’s the opposite of the griffions of Griffion Stone!
Gallus: You have no idea.
Bright Eyes: And comming here and meeting all of you, it just proves that I was right not to listen to all the bad thing’s I’ve heard about your kind. I just wish I could’ve taken a stand when I heard those hecklings.
Smolder: So why didn’t you?
Bright Eyes: I may have never liked those things ponies said about your kind, but I’m afraid I’m not good at standing up for others. Or myself for that matter.
Silverstream: (gasps) But why?!
Bright Eyes: Because I’m…, well, you know? I’m…
Ocellus: Shy? It’s okay, I’m shy too. But do you want to know how I got past it? (comes closer to Bright Eyes and rests her hoof on her shoulder) Knowing I’ve got good friends by my side.
Sandbar: And now, so do you, Bright Eyes.
(Everycreature voices their agreements, and Bright Eyes smiles)
[Ocellus]
You started out scared, held it inside
What would it take, would it be all right?
A bundle of nerves that you just can’t let go
[Yona]
Everything is up in your head
Look to your back, see who’s there instead
[All]
And you find that you are not alone
Oh ah-ah-ha oh
Oh ah-ah-ha oh
Oh ah-ah-ha oh
Oh ah-ah-ha oh
[Smolder]
Laugh it all up start having fun
Nothing’s gone wrong that can’t be undone
Be a big goof ‘cause you know we are too
[Sandbar]
Fall on your face, then get up and dance
Nothing to lose if you’re taking a chance
[All]
When your friends are right there with you
[Silverstream]
‘Cause you can do
[All]
Anything that you set your mind to
No matter if it seems so hard
Friends are near, here to go through it too
You won’t have to look too far
[Silverstream]
You can do
[All]
Anything that you set your mind to
No matter if it seems so hard
Friends are near, here to go through it too
You won’t have to look too
Won’t have to look too far
(Bright Eyes is trying kick a dummy, when Mikey comes up)
Mikey: Here’s a tip, girl. Lift you leg up. Recoil. And extend!
(Bright Eyes kicks the dummy)
Mikey: Ah, yeah! You nailed it!
[Silverstream]
Encouraging nod, a little advice
Think about it once, but you don’t think twice
You got what it takes, now just let it shine!
[Gallus]
You’ve come a long way
You’re finally here
Show ‘em what you’ve got, ‘cause there’s nothing to fear
Ocellus: Actually, there’s a lot to fear, but I think that’s just me.
Gallus: Your not helping, Ocellus.
[Silverstream]
‘Cause you can do
[All]
Anything that you set your mind to
No matter if it seems so hard
Friends are near, here to go through it too
You won’t have to look too far
[Silverstream]
You can do
[All]
Anything that you set your mind to
No matter if it seems so hard
Friends are near, here to go through it too
You won’t have to look too
Won’t have to look too far
