The Mysterious Moonshade/Transcript


 * [virtues chattering]
 * Polite: Attention, everyone! Attention! The official Charity Fan Club will come to order. Let's get right down to our first order of business. I motion that Charity be declared the most awesome virtue in Virtue-Land.
 * Purity: I second the motion, and might I add that if you looked up the word 'awesome' in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Charity.
 * [virtues agreeing]
 * Unity: I object!
 * [virtues gasp]
 * Unity: I think the word 'awesome' is played out! Charity deserves better! I motion that we declare her the most stupendous virtue!
 * Polite: 'Stupendous'? Is that the best you've got? I motion that we declare her... wonderiffic!
 * Unity: Astonishing!
 * Polite: Breathtaking!
 * Unity: Astounding!
 * Polite: Bedazzling!
 * Charity: What about super-ultra-extreme-awesomazing?
 * [virtues agreeing]
 * Polite: All in favor of declaring Charity the most 'super-ultra-extra-uh-whatever you said' virtue in all of Virtue-Land, say 'aye'!
 * Fan club: Aye! [cheering]
 * Charity: [giggles]


 * Charity: [sigh] What a beautiful day. There's nothing like a dip in the clouds to make a Pegasus feel super relaxed.
 * Diligence: Help! Help! Help! Help!
 * Charity: Looks like my sky swim will have to wait! I'm Charity, and I'm here to rescue you!
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Charity: Wow. What's with this crowd? Uh, thanks, everyone. It was really no big deal.
 * Diligence: To me it was! You're my hero, Charity!
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Polite: That Charity sure is something.
 * Unity and Purity: Something special.


 * &quot;Kind&quot;: [screams]
 * Black Hole: [crying]
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Charity: [gasps] Oh no! There's something wrong with the baby!
 * [crowd gasps]
 * Charity: She's not cheering for everyone's favorite hero, Charity!
 * [virtues cheering]
 * [cameras clicking]
 * Polite: There just aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe Charity's awesomeness.
 * Patient: I can think of a few new words.
 * Humanity: And I bet 'modest' is not one of them.
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Patient: No, but she is kinda awesome.


 * [elderly virtues chattering]
 * [splintering wood]
 * Charity: Never fear, your friendly neighborhood Charity is here!
 * [elderly virtues screaming]
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Virtue 1: We'd be lost without you!
 * Virtue 2: You're our hero, Charity!
 * Crowd: Charity! Charity!
 * Charity: I can't hear you!
 * Crowd: Charity! Charity! Charity! Charity! Charity! Charity! Charity!
 * Patient: Call me silly, but I think this whole hero thing might be going to Charity's head.
 * Humility: You may be right...silly.


 * Charity: And then I zoomed into the well. I knew it would be dark and dangerous, but I didn't let that stop me. Danger's my surname. Charity 'Danger'. Thinking back on it, I acted pretty awesomely heroic that day.
 * Chastity: That day.
 * Humanity: Awesomely heroic that day and awesomely arrogant ever since.
 * Humility and Patient: Mm-hm.
 * Charity: Hey, Humanity. How'd you like to be immortalized as my friend?
 * Humanity: Immorta-what?
 * [camera clicking]
 * Patient: Are you taking notes?
 * Chastity: Yup! I've been hoof-picked by Charity herself, to write her autobiography!
 * Patient: Umm, autobiographies are supposed to be written by the virtue they are about.
 * Charity: Maybe for your normal, run-of-the-mill virtues. But I'm far too busy saving lives to stop and write. That's why I hired Chastity as my ghost writer.
 * Humility: [yelps] Chastity's a ghost!
 * Charity: ...Anyway. Chastity here writes down everything I say. Don't you, Chastity?
 * Chastity: Don't... you... Chastity. Got it!
 * Charity: This way, I can stay focused on performing those acts of bravery that no one else has the guts to perform. Yep, it takes guts. But it also takes brains. And sometimes a big lunch and a nap. Being a hero is surely not for everyone, but I'm up to the challenge.


 * Charity: [grunts] There you go.
 * &quot;Utility&quot;: Someday, I wanna be just like you!
 * Charity: Aim high, kid, but don't aim for the impossible.
 * Sanity: [screams]
 * [virtues gasp]
 * Sanity: Help! Help!
 * Unity: Uh, don't you think you should go and help?
 * Charity: [muffled] Yeah, yeah. I've got a good ten seconds to spare. Just a couple more.
 * Chastity: The tension is unbearable. Will Charity make it on time?
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Virtue: Holy turnips, that virtue came outta nowhere!
 * Cruelty: I've never seen such bravery in all my life!
 * Confident: That's right! Virtue-Land has a new hero. A mysterious girl that has done well by our fair city today. I dub this new masked hero 'The Mysterious Moonshade'!
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Charity: Moonshade, huh? Well that mare would do well to stay outta my way! Virtue-Land's only got room for one hero, and that hero is me!


 * [virtues screaming]
 * Charity: [clears throat] Never fear, your friendly neighborhood Charity–
 * Humor: Excuse me, uh, do you think you could skip your catchphrase and just hurry up and save us?!
 * Charity: Ugh, fine! Picky, picky. Whoaaaa! Aah!
 * [virtues cheering]
 * &quot;Laughter&quot;: Oh, thank you, Virtue Do We– e...
 * Charity: I can't believe it. Moonshade is stronger than me? Well, a hero is more than just muscle, and she's gonna learn that the hard way.


 * [jackhammer and drills]
 * Honesty: Huh?
 * Charity: Huh? Never fear, your friendly neighbor– Whoa!
 * [building creaking]
 * [crashing]
 * Charity: Never fear– Uh! I'm coming! Hold on! Whoa!
 * Magic: Look!
 * Honesty: [cheers]
 * &quot;Loyalty&quot;: Look out for the– Watch out for falling– On your left! Agh! Your other left!
 * Charity: Here ya go, safe and sound.
 * [crash]
 * &quot;Loyalty&quot;: [faints]
 * Charity: Well, Moonshade, or should I call you Virtue Do Slow? You're gonna have to pick up the pace if you wanna compete with me, 'cause I move like lightning.
 * &quot;Grace&quot;: Actually, she saved all of us! We owe her our lives!
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Charity: [growls] Okay. She's strong, fast, and somehow knows what's gonna happen ahead of time. I've gotta step up my game.


 * [water rushing]
 * Charity: [gasps] If the dam breaks, the whole town will be flooded! Looks like Virtue-Land needs a hero! Easy peasy.
 * [stone cracking]
 * Charity: My game is officially back on. If only someone were here to pat me on the back. Eh, guess I'll have to do it myself– [yelps] [screams] Help! [spits] Help! You?! I suppose you want me to thank– You gotta be kidding me...
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Charity: Lemme get this straight. She's strong, she's agile, and she's magic? Ughhh! How do I compete with that? Wait a minute. I do have a leg up on her. And that leg is... wings! Hah! Take that, Moonshade!
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Charity: Oh, for the love of Pete.


 * Humanity: Gotta hand it to the girl, that Moonshade sure can pull off some pretty heroic feats.
 * Patient: I must say, I was impressed by that spell she used to fix the dam. Seems like something like that would take quite a bit of study.
 * Charity: [growls]
 * Kind: She really cares about everyone's safety.
 * Temper: Have you seen her costume? It is to die for! If you ask me she's a hero of fashion.
 * Humanity: And she's modest and humble. She lets her actions speak for themselves. Gotta admire that.
 * Charity: I don't have to admire that! I don't think she's all that great!
 * Chastity: She's... great.
 * Charity: I didn't say that.
 * Patient: Sounds like someone's jealous.
 * Charity: Who, me?
 * Chastity: Charity is jealous.
 * Charity: Don't write that, Chastity!
 * [others laughing]
 * Chastity: Correction: Charity is very jealous.
 * Charity: Fine! Laugh all you want, but I'll be the one laughing when I prove to you all that I'm just as good– no, that I'm a better hero than Moonshade!


 * Charity: Huh, no sign of trouble here. Darn it.
 * Charity: Buses and baby carriages are always careening down this hill. Where is an out-of-control vehicle when you need one?!
 * Charity: Rrgh, there are absolutely no freak natural disasters going on anywhere! How am I supposed to prove myself when everything's so normal and safe? [gasps] Hold it right there, Joy! You don't have to pretend with me. I can see that you're in way over your head here.
 * Joy: Eh, what's that?
 * Charity: You're putting on a brave face, I get it. But you don't have to anymore. I'll help you cross the street!
 * Joy: [grunting] Actually, I can cross the street just fine!
 * Charity: Don't worry! You're in extremely... capable... hooves!
 * Joy: [panicked grunts] Back off!
 * Charity: [pants] Here we are! Safe and sound. A good and heroic citizen deserves a little recognition, don't you think?
 * Joy: I didn't wanna cross the street in the first place! [complaining and squeaking]
 * Tranquility: [grunting]
 * Charity: [gasps] Someone's in trouble!
 * Tranquility: [grunting]
 * Charity: You'd better let me handle this, ma'am! For your own safety, I must ask you to stand back!
 * Tranquility: Oh, brother.
 * Charity: [cracks neck] [grunting]
 * Charity: Ta-da!
 * Tranquility: Uh... thanks.
 * Charity: How would you describe what I just did? Would you say I was amazing?
 * Tranquility: Aren't you milking this a bit?
 * Charity: Please, just answer the question! Was I, or was I not, amazing?
 * Tranquility: Oh, you're amazing alright. An amazingly–
 * Charity: Oh, look!
 * [lawnmower rattling]
 * Charity: Another great feat of heroism! I have just saved that grass!
 * &quot;Effervescence&quot;: From what?
 * Charity: From weeds! Weeds that were attempting to eat this lawn!
 * Dream: Lame...
 * Virtue: Whatever.
 * Charity: Aww, who am I kidding?


 * [thundercloud rumbles throughout]
 * Charity: All anyone talks about is Moonshade this and Moonshade that! What about me? How could everyone forget about me so easily? I mean... have I changed? Same sleek body. Same flowing mane. Same spectacular hooves. Nope, I'm still awesome. They're wrong. But... then... why am I all alone? I hate being all alone.
 * Polite: Hey, Charity!
 * Charity: I knew it! No need to apologize, squirt. Anyone could make that mistake.
 * Polite: Mistake? What mistake?
 * Charity: Wait a minute. Why are you here?
 * Polite: To invite you to join us! We're heading off to the thank you parade for Virtue-Land's greatest hero, Moonshade.
 * Charity: No! No way! Can't you see I-I wanna be alone? I love being alone.
 * Polite: Oh, okay. See you later then.
 * Charity: Yeah, right, like I'm gonna thank her. [mockingly] Thank you, Moonshade, whoever you are, for ruining e– [normal] Hey, squirt! Wait up!


 * Confident: Welcome to Virtue-Land's first, but surely not last, thank you parade, in honor of our city's greatest hero, the mysterious Moonshade!
 * [virtues cheering]
 * Charity: The mysterious Moonshade, huh?
 * [virtues gasp]
 * Charity: So what are you hiding? Let's see how mysterious you are without that mask!
 * Moonshade: [whistles]
 * Charity: What the hay?
 * Moonshade: [whistles]
 * Charity: Grrr... I got you now! Alright, Miss Mysterious! Mystery... solved! [yelps] P-p-p-p- Humility?! Whudda- hud-d-duh- hud-d-duh- huh?! Patient?! Humanity?! There were three of you?!
 * Patient: Yup, we all played Moonshade at different times.
 * Humanity: I stopped the carriage bus with these babies, Bucky McGillicuddy and Kicks McGee.
 * Humility: I saved the construction workers with my Humility Sense. [twitches]
 * [flowerpot shatters]
 * Sanity: Sorry!
 * Humility: It's alright.
 * Patient: And I used my magic to fix the dam.
 * Kind: Ooh, ooh! And I did the flyby afterwards.
 * Temper: I made the costumes. Fabulous if I do say so myself!
 * Charity: I don't understand. Why? Don't you want me to be a hero?
 * Patient: Of course we want you to be a hero.
 * Humanity: But a real hero doesn't brag.
 * Charity: Uh, I guess I did start to brag a little.
 * Other main cast: A little?!
 * Charity: Okay, a lot.
 * Patient: Celebrating your accomplishments is natural. But...
 * Humanity: ...Rubbin' them in everyone's face is not.
 * Humility: Yeah, the only thing that should be rubbed in anyone's face is chocolate cake. [slurp]
 * Humanity: I think we're getting off topic here.
 * Patient: What we're trying to say is, it's great to be really good at something, but it's important to act with grace and humility.
 * Charity: Ohhhh. That makes loads more sense. Yeah. You're right. And I guess I should've also acted with grace and humility when others outshine me. Like Moonshade.
 * Patient: Sounds like you've got a letter to write to Peace, Passion and Patience.
 * Chastity: Already got it covered. As your ghost writer, I've already penned a letter to them.
 * Charity: That's nice of you, Chastity, but I really wanna write this letter myself.
 * Chastity: Aww, come on, I wrote the whole thing already!
 * Charity: Okay, let's hear it.
 * Chastity: [clears throat] Dear Peace, Passion and-
 * Charity: Look out! It's a real ghost!
 * Humility and Chastity: [yelping and screaming]
 * Others: [laughing]
