Twilight reluctantly meets five ponies in charge of the preparations: Applejack, a diligent earth pony who works on her family's apple farm Rainbow Dash, a tomboyish pegasus who helps control the weather Rarity, a glamorous unicorn who designs fashion Fluttershy, a shy pegasus who communicates with animals and Pinkie Pie, a hyperactive earth pony who loves throwing parties. However, the latter dismisses her warnings and sends her and her baby dragon assistant Spike to Ponyville to supervise the preparations for the celebration and make some friends, which Twilight couldn't care less about. She tries to warn her mentor, Princess Celestia, the benevolent alicorn ruler of Equestria, of the impending danger. In the magical land of Equestria, a studious, antisocial unicorn named Twilight Sparkle learns of a prophecy it states the evil Nightmare Moon will return during the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration after a thousand-year imprisonment on the moon. Aired in two parts, on October 10 and October 22, 2010, the episodes received positive reviews from critics. Many of the creatures that appear in these episodes have designs that convey humor or silliness. Together, the six defeat Nightmare Moon, a villain who has returned after a thousand years of imprisonment in the moon, with magical artifacts known as the "Elements of Harmony". There, she meets five ponies-Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie-with whom she becomes close friends. The episodes follow Twilight Sparkle, a studious, antisocial unicorn, who reluctantly travels to the town of Ponyville at the insistence of her mentor, Princess Celestia.
