My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

After consideration, the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to create a relationship between their schoolteacher Cheerilee and Apple Bloom's older brother Big Macintosh, for Hearts and Hooves Day (the Equestrian equivalent of Valentine's Day) with a love potion. However, they discover too late that the recipe is for a love poison, making the two unable to do anything else beyond thinking about the other. The Crusaders barely manage to keep the two out of eyesight of each other for an hour, breaking the spell. They apologise to Cheerilee and Big Macintosh, and as punishment, take up Big Macintosh's chores for a week.

Pinkie Pie tries to become friends with new Ponyville resident Cranky Doodle Donkey. However, the donkey absolutely refuses to become friends with her, no matter how hard Pinkie Pie tries. When Pinkie accidentally sets fire to a scrapbook, Cranky demands she leave him alone and refuses to accept her apology. However, his outcries and the scrapbook give Pinkie an idea, and she is able to reunite Cranky with Matilda, another donkey that lived in town. Cranky is amazed to see his love, having lost track of her after a Grand Galloping Gala years ago, and happily thanks Pinkie and calls her his friend, to Pinkie's elation.

Fluttershy is told by Pinkie and Rarity that she is too much of a doormat, letting others take advantage of her. She attends a self-help seminar by a minotaur named Iron Will where she learns to become more assertive in her actions, but these lessons change Fluttershy's personality dramatically beyond recognition. When Pinkie and Rarity try to convince her to be less assertive, she insults them, making them run off in tears. Fluttershy realises that she has turned into a monster and hides in her cottage. When Iron Will comes around to collect payment on the seminar, Pinkie and Rarity try to stop him, fearing that Fluttershy will crumble at his demand. Instead, to their surprise, Fluttershy explains she is not satisfied with Iron Will's course and refuses to pay as per his guarantee. Iron Will is stunned but accepts this reason, and Pinkie and Rarity praise Fluttershy for being herself.

Twilight Sparkle is briefly visited by her bedraggled future self to warn her about something that would happen next Tuesday morning, but her interruptions prevent her future self from explaining what to be prepared for before she disappears. Twilight fears the worst and tries to take steps to prevent it. However, while nothing bad happens, Twilight suffers minor injuries that mirror her future self's look. Convinced the only way to prevent the disaster is to stop time, she, Pinkie and Spike go to the Canterlot library to look for time-stopping spells. When Tuesday morning arrives, nothing happens and Twilight realises she was worried for nothing. However, using a time travel spell Pinkie found, Twilight travels back a week to explain this to her past self, realising too late that she completed the time loop.

After observing the Great Dragon Migration with his pony friends, Spike starts to question his dragon roots and wonder about his true identity. He sets out to join the dragon migration on a quest of self discovery, but Twilight, Rarity and Rainbow Dash know he will need help and tail him in a hastily made dragon costume. At a volcano, Spike joins other teenage dragons who challenge him to prove he is a dragon. With some help from the ponies, Spike shows off his worth. Later, the dragons attempt to raid a nest of phoenix eggs, using Spike to lure the phoenixes away. Spike returns to find an unhatched egg remaining but refuses to smash it. The ponies reveal themselves and help to rescue Spike and the egg. Later in Ponyville, Spike hatches the egg, naming the new phoenix chick "Peewee" and promises to take good care of it.
