Sweet Stuff:
Thanks for letting me help Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie:
No problem.

Jessica:
Melissa left David's first clue at home.

Sunstar:
And I left Baby Lickety-Split's first clue at your house Lickety-Split.

Lickety-Split:
Great job you 2. They should both be here in 3 hours. With this treasure hunt we're having them go on they'll be busy.

Meanwhile at David's house

David:
*Waking up* Good morning Jessica. *Looks around* Jessica? Melissa? *Scratches his head* That's weird. Usually they come in and see me on my birthday. *Looks on the fridge* A note. *Reads it* Dad,

Melissa:
*On her note* Today for your birthday you and Baby Lickety-Split are going on a treasure hunt. You and her are gonna get clues to where its gonna be held. Here's your first clue dad. I am a place where ponies run free, the answer you seek is inside a tree.

David:
Well that's easy. Ponyland. *He heads there*

Meanwhile in Ponyland

Baby Lickety-Split:
*Waking up and seeing the house empty* Mom? Where are you? *Sees a note on the door* Oh. A note. Its from Sunstar. *Reads it* Dear Baby Lickety-Split,

Sunstar:
*On her note* How are you doing birthday girl? I know its late but been busy. Anyway for your late birthday and David's birthday you and David are going on a treasure hunt. Have fun. You'll find clues with him telling you where the birthday party will be held. Here's your first clue girl. To find your first clue no need to be swirled, head to the place which leads to the human world.

Baby Lickety-Split:
The portal. *She runs there and David is standing right there* David.

David:
Hey girl. Happy belated birthday.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Happy birthday to you friend. Did you get your clue?

David:
Sure did. You? *She nods* Wonder where our next clue is? *Twilight Sparkle sneaks behind a tree and drops a piece of paper and giggles softly and uses her unipeg magic to wink back to Paradise Estate* That's weird. *Picks it up* This wasn't here before. *Opens it up* Its from Princess Spark.... err I mean Twilight Sparkle. *Reads it* Hey buddy your best friend Twilight Sparkle here. Here's the next clue for you 2. Here you read it Baby Lickety-Split. *Hands it to her*

Baby Lickety-Split:
To find the next clue its nothing tragic, find the palace with ponies that are magic. The Mystical Palace. *He nods*

David:
Let's go.

[djlamar2]

They head to the Mystical Palace.

David:
Bet you Dubious has our next clue.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Or Spike. *Baby Fizzypop comes up* Hey Fizzypop.

Baby Fizzypop:
Mama told me that you 2 have to play a game with me.

David:
Well okay. But after that you have to let us look for a clue.

Baby Fizzypop:
You mean this clue? *They gasp* Play with me and its yours no matter what. *Pulls out a chess set* No winning or losing involved. Oh yeah and you both can play together. *They nod and the game starts* I'll move my white pawn 2 spaces.

David:
I'll move my black pawn 2 spaces as well. *He does and the game continues* Baby Lickety-Split you move 1. *Whispers* Move the black queen here. *She nods and does it* Checkmate Baby Fizzypop.

Fizzypop:
Nicely done you 2. *Hands them the piece of paper* Good luck on your treasure hunt I have to go...... go to uh Ponyland for a bit. See you 2 later.

[djlamar2]

Meanwhile at Paradise Estate Twilight Sparkle and Baby Fizzypop come back

Twilight Sparkle:
Good job niece.

Fizzypop:
Thanks aunt Twily.

Cadence:
Guess we wait on the next clue to tell them where to go next. Queen Hummer is next right? *They nod*

Back with Baby Lickety-Split and David:

David:
Alright girl let's see what our next clue says. I'll read it this time. *Reading it* For your next clue its really shiny, go to the place where the ponies are tiny.

Baby Lickety-Split:
The nursery?

David:
No it didn't say babies. Tiny, tiny. Wow Fizzypop made this 1 hard. Well we already know 2 kinds of tiny ponies. The Gnome ponies and the Breezies.

Baby Lickety-Split:
I got it. Did it say anything about wings?

David:
No.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Then that cancels out the Breezies. Its gotta be the gnome ponies then.

David:
Good thinking. Let's go.

[djlamar2]

They head to the gnome pony forest.

David:
Guess we just wait for our next clue. *Queen Hummer comes up* Queen Hummer good to see you.

Queen Hummer:
Same to you buddy. *Tries holding up a piece of paper* This.... is.... for.... you.

David:
Got it. *Reads it* To find your next clue become tiny.

Queen Hummer:
I have the stuff. *Hands them a vial of gnome potion*

David:
Thanks. *They both drink a cupful and shrink*

Baby Lickety-Split:
Well we're tiny. Now what? *They look around* No paper.

David:
Hmm. I wonder where that clue is?

Queen Hummer:
Look around. I have to get going. Ask the magician to bring you back to normal size when your ready. *She leaves*

David:
Why is everyone leaving so quickly?

Baby Lickety-Split:
Yeah I know. *They look around* Nothing.

David:
Maybe its not around us. Maybe its beneath us. *They look and see an arrow pointing to the gnome pony palace* Guess our next stop is the gnome pony palace.

[djlamar2]

They head in and see Princess Galaxy.

Princess Galaxy:
Hello David and Baby Lickety-Split. My daughter has your next clue. *They see her and she runs and giggles* You'll have to be faster than that I'm afraid. Her name is Baby Milky Way. She loves hide and seek.

David:
I see. *Looks around* I wonder where Baby Milky Way went. *Hears giggling* I can't seem to find her. *Nods to Baby Lickety-Split* Now where could she be? *Sees a tail* Gotcha.

Baby Milky Way:
Ya found me. Good job. Mama who is that with my friend Baby Lickety-Split?

Princess Galaxy:
That's David. Our human friend.

Baby Milky Way:
Oh yeah. Aunt Celest wanted me to give you something. *Gives it to them* Here ya go. See you guys later. Me and mama have somewhere to go. Oh Merlin. *A wizard comes out* Turn them back to normal size please.

Merlin:
With pleasure. *They walk out and Princess Galaxy and Baby Milky Way leave* Now then. *Blows dust on them and they and the clue are back to normal size*

David:
Now let's see. *Reads the clue* Your destination is near, the next place to look is clear. Look around and there's a place that powers you don't require. Look for a sparkling empire.

David and Baby Lickety-Split:
The Crystal Empire.

Back at Paradise Estate

Twilight Sparkle:
Let's see how our treasure hunters are doing shall we? *Focuses her magic and a vision is seen* Perfect. Cadence your up.

Cadence:
Got it. *Queen Hummer comes up with a small package*

Jessica:
What's in there?

Queen Hummer:
This is Baby Lickety-Split's birthday present *Galaxy and Baby Milky Way come up with their presents* Oh ponyfeathers. I forgot David's. *Celest shows her 1 of the packages she has*

Celest:
Thank goodness I remember mommy.

Queen Hummer:
Thanks honey.

Celest:
I hope they enjoy our presents.

Jessica:
They will.

[djlamar2]

Back at David and Baby Lickety-Split

:

David:
Well here we are. The Crystal Empire. Wow its been awhile since I've been here.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Never been here before. *They walk in and see the princesses*

Crystal Princess #1:
Hi David. Here for your next clue?

David:
Sure are. Do you have it?

Crystal Princess #1:
Sorry I don't but someone you know does. *Cadence appears*

David:
Cadence.

Cadence:
Hi David and Baby Lickety-Split. I have your clue for you. But first you must solve a riddle. I can run backwards and forwards but if you lose me you can't regain me? What am I?

David:
Hmm. Steps? Nah.

Baby Lickety-Split:
I got it. Your time.

Cadence:
How did you figure that?

David:
I think I know. When you set a timer for a certain amount of time it can go backwards. It also goes forwards. But if you waste time you can never regain it. Am I right?

Cadence:
Yes. Nice job you 2. *Hands them a piece of paper* Here ya go. Have fun figuring this 1 out. *She leaves*

David:
Wait! Wow everyone is in a hurry today.

Baby Lickety-Split:
I know.

[djlamar2]

David:
Let's see this clue. *Reads it* To find your clue don't look low, go to a place where ponies can get rid of smooze with 1 big blow. *Thinks* Big blow? The Flutter ponies. They have strong gusts and got rid of the smooze years ago.

Baby Lickety-Split:
To Flutter Valley it is then. *Looks down on the note* You forgot 1 part. P.S your nearing the end of your treasure hunt.

Meanwhile back with the others Hydia can be seen

Hydia:
What are those little ponies up to?

Draggle:
Looks like a party mama. *She looks at her sternly* I mean Hydia.

Hydia:
A party huh? *Listens in*

Twilight Sparkle:
Good job Cadence. The treasure hunt is almost over. *Sees the witches* You! What are you doing here?

Hydia:
Oh nothing. Throwing a party huh?

Twilight Sparkle:
Yeah for a couple of friends. David and Baby Lickety-Split's birthday.

Hydia:
A birthday huh? Girls lets head back to the volcano. I have a plan. *They head back to the volcano*

Twilight Sparkle:
Those witches are up to no good. I can tell.

[djlamar2]

At the volcano of gloom

Draggle:
But mama we don't want to go to no icky birthday party.

Hydia:
We're going and don't call me MAMA! *Looks through her stuff* Ah here we go.

Reeka:
What is that?

Hydia:
A present but they have to fight me for it. But what's in it is a surprise. And no you can't look. *Laughs and whispers* This is the 1 gift they'll never forget.

Back at David and Baby Lickety-Split

David:
Here we are. Flutter Valley. *Baby Morning Glory comes up*

Baby Morning Glory:
Hi friends. I have another clue for you. And guess what? The next clue is your last clue.

David:
Cool. Anything we need to do to get your clue Baby Morning Glory?

Baby Morning Glory:
Just 1 little thing. Take it from me. *They try catching her but she's too fast*

David:
Wow she's quick.

Baby Morning Glory:
Yes. But have you tried any other way to get it other than trying to take it from me?

David:
I got it. *Whispers to Baby Lickety-Split*

Baby Lickety-Split:
Got it. Can we please have the clue?

Baby Morning Glory:
That's it. *Hands it to them* Remember this leads to your last clue. See ya. *She flies off*

David:
*Reading the clue* Your treasure hunt is almost at the end.

Baby Lickety-Split:
You've had clues around every bend.

David:
To find this clue its very easy.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Fill in the blank "This place is ____"

David:
Cheesy? Sneezey? Freezy? It could be any of those.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Yeah. But remember that our clues have been in every place in Ponyland.

David:
Wait. The clue. This place is ____. What pony type name do we know that rhymes with easy?

Baby Lickety-Split and David:
The Breezies.

David:
Breezie Villa here we come.

[djlamar2]

They head to Breezie Villa and see Zipzy who smiles.

Zipzy:
Welcome friends. I know what you want. The final clue.

David:
Yes. *She holds it out* No catch? No riddle we have to do? Or some kind of game?

Zipzy:
Nah. Well I gotta go. *She leaves but then they realize the paper is tiny*

David:
Zipzy wait. The print is..... Never mind. Great how are we supposed to read this?

Baby Lickety-Split:
Wait I got it. *Looks in her bag she brought along* I knew we might need this. *Pulls out a magnifying glass* Here we go. *They read it*

David and Baby Lickety-Split:
Your treasure hunt is done, now to go to the place to see what you've won. The place your looking for is not in a crate, its a huge _____.

David:
A huge what? Castle?

Baby Lickety-Split:
Wait. Every clue so far has been a rhyme riddle right? *He nods* Well what rhymes with crate?

David:
State? *She nods*

David and Baby Lickety-Split:
*In unison* Paradise Estate.

The gang:
Happy Birthday Baby Lickety-Split and David.

David:
Oh my gosh. You remembered.

Lickety-Split:
Of course. It was Jessica's and Melissa's idea.

Baby Lickety-Split and David:
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! *Hydia, Reeka and Draggle comes in*

David:
You 3. What are you doing here?

Hydia:
We're not up to anything evil.

David:
Alright but don't do anything funny.

Christina:
Happy birthday daddy.

Wishing Star:
Yeah dad. What do you want to do first?

David and Baby Lickety-Split:
Play games.

Wishing Star:
I know what game to play first. *Blindfolds them* Pin the tail on the donkey.

Hydia:
Now we wait girls.

[djlamar2]

The festivities continue and they bring out a huge cake:

David:
That is 1 big cake.

Pinkie Pie:
Courtesy of the Pie family. *They bring out candles* 1 for each of you.

David:
Thanks.

Sweet Stuff:
The candles were my idea.

David:
Awesome Sweet Stuff.

Sweet Stuff:
Baby Sweet Stuff has something to say. Go ahead.

Baby Sweet Stuff:
Happy birthday friends. *She smiles*

Posey:
Let me just light the candles. *She does*

David:
Let's make a wish friend. *She nods and they blow out their candles*

Reeka:
Your not gonna make us eat any yucky cake are you mama? *She looks at her sternly* I mean Hydia.

Hydia:
No. But the present is special. *Whispers* Soon as they open it they won't resist fighting over it. They'll cause havoc and the birthday party will be ruined.

Draggle:
Smart idea Hydia.

David:
Still not sure if we should trust those witches. *Wishing Star comes up*

Wishing Star:
Now before you eat your cake I have a surprise for you and Baby Lickety-Split dad. Think of it like a birthday candle. *They open them and gasp* Its a staff. I had just enough magic to create them. 1 thing though. They can only grant 1 wish each.

David:
Let's save them for later. *She nods*

Alright tomorrow will be the finale. What surprise do the witches have in store for our birthday buddies? Find out tomorrow.

[djlamar2]

After eating cake and ice cream it was time to open their presents

David:
*Opening his* Oh Megan. *Holds it up* Thanks for the mug with a picture of me and Wishing Star on it. I was wondering why you asked for an old picture of me.

Megan:
You're welcome.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Awesome buddy. *Opening hers from Megan* Oh man. I love it Megan. You know how much I love the bushwoolies.

Megan:
I made it myself.

Danny:
Open mine next. Its for both of you. *They do and turn around with big smiles on their faces*

David:
Thanks Danny.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Yes thanks Danny. *Holding up coupons to the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe*

Danny:
Now those are good for 1 ice cream cone. *They continue opening their presents and get to Twilight Sparkle's*

David:
I wonder what Twilight Sparkle gave us? *They open theirs and suddenly dust falls on both of them and Baby Lickety-Split now has wings and a horn and David is now a unipeg* Whoa! But how?

Twilight Sparkle:
Like your gift? It only lasts for 30 minutes but I figured you'd like it. Jessica helped me pick out the spell.

Baby Lickety-Split:
THIS IS......

David:
*In unison* AWESOME! *They both take to the skies*

Jessica:
Just be careful you 2. *They both fly around doing loopy loops and all kinds of tricks making everyone giggle*

Sunstar:
Wow Princess Sparkle I never knew such a spell existed.

Twilight Sparkle:
Yes. It works on both humans and ponies. Thankfully it lasts only 30 minutes. Wouldn't want to accidentally make my friend a pony forever. *They fly down and high five each other and run up and hug Twilight Sparkle*

David and Baby Lickety-Split:
Thank you Princess Sparkle.

Jessica:
Just a minute. *Gets out her camera* Want to capture the moment before the spell wears off. Now you 3 say "Ice cream sundae".

David, Baby Lickety-Split and Twilight Sparkle:
Ice cream sundae. *The picture is taken*

Jessica:
There.

David:
Oh and Sunstar thanks for the t-shirt.

Sunstar:
Anything for a friend.

[djlamar2]

They get to Hydia's present

David:
Its a crown.

Hydia:
Its for both of you. *Snickers evilly* Yours to keep. *Whispers* The minute they touch it they'll go mad with jealousy. *David and Baby Lickety-Split touch it and their eyes shine*

David:
Hmm. What a beautiful crown. Here Baby Lickety-Split. You try it on.

Hydia:
What?!

Baby Lickety-Split:
Nah you go ahead. Its not just my birthday buddy.

Hydia:
WHAT?! Your not supposed to share it. YOUR SUPPOSED TO FIGHT OVER IT!

Twilight Sparkle:
I saw through your trick Hydia. I knew you'd give them something that'd reek havoc. So Jessica and I came up with a plan.

Jessica:
Turn them both into unipegs so you couldn't cast any spells on them.

Twilight Sparkle:
Or capture them.

Hydia:
FINE! Keep the stupid crown. I'm gone. Come on girls. *They leave*

David:
Those witches will never learn. *They both turn back to normal* Can you take the spell off of it so neither 1 of us will get enchanted by it?

Twilight Sparkle:
Sure. *Focuses her horn on it and sparks are seen and they dissapate* There. Now its safe.

David:
Thanks buddy. *Thinks* I got it. *Whispers into Baby Lickety-Split's ear and she nods* We'll use our staffs now.

Wishing Star:
Great.

David and Baby Lickety-Split:
*Both giggling* We wish that Hydia's volcano was full of cake.

Megan:
Hahahahahahaha! Oh boy they won't like that.

With the witches

Hydia:
I just want to get inside and forget about..... *Opens the door and sees cake piled a mile high*

The witches:
ICKY CAKE! NO!!!!!!!!

Back at the party

David:
Thanks everyone for the cake, ice cream and the great birthday presents.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Yeah.

Everyone:
No problem.

David:
This will be a birthday I'll never forget.

Baby Lickety-Split:
Yeah.

Twilight Sparkle:
Guess we'd better get ready for my wedding coming up soon. *They all nod*

David:
Bye everyone. *They head back home* Thanks Jessica and Melissa. This was the best birthday ever.

Jessica and Melissa:
You're welcome.
