Twilight Sparkle: You look nervous. There's no reason to be nervous. Nothing to worry about. Everything's gonna be fine!

Pinkie Pie: Twilight and Rose, tell those butterflies in your tummy to beat it! Making new friends is always fun.

Rose Light: Ohhhh...

Fluttershy: They're probably just as nervous as you are.

Applejack: You've been plannin' this shindig for weeks. You know everything about these fellers. It's gonna be dandy.

Twilight Sparkle: [inhales] [exhales] You're right. Remember, Equestria and Yakyakistan haven't opened their borders for hundreds of moons. In fact, Yakyakistan is so far north of the Crystal Mountains, nopony's even been there! Imagine the look on Princess Celestia's face when she finds out we made friends with a yak prince! [nervous laugh] I'm calm! I'm calm...

Spike: [blows trumpet]

[carpet unfurling]

Prince Rutherford: Ponies! Greetings, ponies!

[teleporting zap]

Rose Light: Prince Rutherford, your Majesty. On behalf of all of us, I welcome you to Equestria.

Prince Rutherford: Me honored. Yaks hope for great friendship between ponies and yaks. [echoing] Friends for a thousand moons!

Twilight Sparkle: You must be hungry after a long journey.

[table scraping]

Rose Light: We've prepared a banquet of traditional yak foods.

Prince Rutherford: If things not perfect, yaks get mad. Yaks always get mad when things not perfect!

Twilight Sparkle: [gulp]

Prince Rutherford: [sniffs] [chewing] [spits] This no taste like yak food! Fake pony food make yaks mad!

Prince Rutherford and Yaks: [roaring]

[assorted noises of destruction]

Pinkie Pie: Is it okay to be nervous now?

[walls cracking]

Applejack: Them yaks sure have a funny way of sayin' "howdy."

Rarity: They're different, that's all. Very... different.

Rainbow Dash: I think they broke my record for most stuff broken in under a minute. I mean, they even broke the trophy.

Rose Light: All we have to do is show them how great it can be to have friends before Princess Celestia arrives for the friendship party tonight. Now, who read the seven-volume cross-indexed history of Yakyakistan I recommended?

Rainbow Dash: Um... I-I had a thing...

Pinkie Pie: I did, I did! Did you know they live so far north of the Crystal Empire that it's cold all the time? Yaks have yak fur to keep them warm. [squee]

Applejack: Pretty sure that's what fur's always for, Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie: I know! Yaks are so cool!

[vase smashing]

Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie, can you show them around town? I know you have to plan the friendship party too, but it would really help make them feel welcome.

Pinkie Pie: Don't worry. They'll be in good hooves with me.

Rose Light: Remember, we want to make sure Equestria feels like home. That means doing everything we can to make this place feel like Yakyakistan.
