- Alice: [voiceover] 'Twas a single day left before Hearth's Warming Eve. Everypony was busy, so much to achieve; They hustled and bustled, their heads were a-spin, And it's here that our holiday story begins...
- Rarity: Oh, Spike. A song is a lovely present.
- Spike: I wanted to get you the best gift ever. I just couldn't figure out what it was.
- [Rarity smooches him]
- Pinkie Pie: Ooh, ooh! The Gift Givers told me that! Oh, what was it? The best gift is more precious than gold, but it cannot be sold. When it breaks, it's not ended, for quickly it's mended. It can never be bought yet is easily sought.
- [Twilight giggles]
- Pinkie Pie: What's so funny?
- Twilight Sparkle: It's a riddle, and the answer is "friendship"!
- [last lines]
- Alice: And so it worked out, And a lesson was learned, there's no need to obsess; Gift-giving is simple as long as you recall: Friendship is the best gift of all.
