(We fade to a leaf-covered path on a cold winter's afternoon. As we slowly pan along, the sound of footsteps and leaves cracking becomes prominent. As we see a pair of dark red hooves come into the frame, we smash cut to the darkened bedroom of Fisher Biskit. From a distance, we see his twin daughters, Brittany and Whittany, standing next to him on his deathbed.)

Fisher Biskit: (weak) My daughters...

(We cut to the LPS day camp, where we see Russell Ferguson, Sunil Nevla and Vinnie Terrio huddled up at the corner, sleep-deprived and fearing for their lives. What follows is a shot of the interior of the hydrant hangout, focusing on a guilt-ridden Pepper Clark, laying on her back, staring blankly at the camera as it slowly rotates.)

Fisher: (v.o.) Since the first day Littlest Pet Street opened to the public...

(We see brief flashes of the fantasy sequence from A Death in the Pet Shop, particularly shots of Penny Ling suffocating on a near-lethal mixture of Pepper's fumes, her subsequent falling to the floor in pain as she begins to suffer a heart attack, and Pepper cradling her lifeless body as she bursts into tears. Accompanying this rapidly-paced sequence is a loud, shrill screech, coupled with Pepper crying over the death of Penny Ling.)

Pepper Clark: (echoes in the background) No! Penny Ling!

(We cut back to the hydrant, where a wide-eyed Pepper turns her head to face the other side. Following immediately afterwards is a shot of Sugar Sprinkles comforting a sleeping Buttercream Sundae.)

Fisher: (v.o.) ...I knew my time in the business would be coming to an end.

(We cut to a hand (presumably that of Roger's) pushing a door open, revealing Blythe Baxter in a disheveled state, hooked up to life support machinery. As we switch to a close-up shot of Blythe slumped over in her bed, we see her flicker her reddened eyes open, letting out a feeble groan.)

Fisher: (v.o.) I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to you both... for not being there for you.

(We cut to a back view of a masked assailant entering Downtown City Park. As we pan down, we see him brandishing a freshly-sharpened machete in his arms. We then cut to Shivers storing an armful of acorns in his tree in preparation for winter before he turns to face his surroundings, his eyes swimming with dread.)

Fisher: (v.o.) And I intend to make it up to you the only way I can.

(We cut back to Fisher's bedroom: a close-up shot of Fisher on his deathbed, with the twins standing at the left, details his sickly demeanour. His skin is a ghostly pale colour, his hair is almost completely gone, and he has lost a considerable amount of weight — hence his somewhat skeletal appearance.)

Fisher: I'm handing the reins of Largest Ever Pet Shop over to you and your mother.

(We cut to a shot of the twins reacting to their inheritance with mild astonishment, followed by a visibly concerned Eliza Biskit standing in the hallway, holding Poppy Pawsley in her arms, listening on with morbid curiosity.)

BASED ON THE THRILLING TWO-PART ORIGINAL STORY PUBLISHED ON FANFICTION.NET

(We fade to a long shot of a dark, murky river, accompanied by the deep ambience of an underwater landscape. As we pause in the middle, we see a silhouette of a familiar character swimming towards up, intercut with brief glimpses of an old vintage cabin sitting in what appears to be a cavern, snow falling on the soil of the national forest, and a subjective camera travelling through the mist, revealing the shadow of an Equestrian Pegasus.)

Distorted Voice: Life is a fickle mistress. You never know what you'll get and when you'll get it. And when you do...

AND THE DISCOVERY FAMILY ANIMATED SERIES LITTLEST PET SHOP

(The scene changes to a shot of Spitfire emerging from a cave as she prepares to greet an apparent group of visitors. The camera pans along to reveal Shadow Blazer, Spitfire's wife, having lead Blythe's friends — Youngmee Song, Sue Patterson and Jasper Jones — to a safe haven of sorts.)

Distorted Voice: ...it hits you hard.

(We cut to a black screen, showing the formation of the film's title as it merges through the blackness, one word at a time.)

Zoe Trent: (v.o.) Pepper, I promise we'll help you get through this.

Minka Mark: (v.o.) We can grieve together.

(We cut to the interior of the aforementioned cabin. In an over-the-shoulder shot, we see a hand reaching out for a videotape stacked atop a pile of tapes, sitting next to which is a combo television unit. As the soft sound of creaking floorboards grows prominent, we cut to another black screen displaying the film's release date.)

EXPERIENCE THE FINAL CHAPTER NOVEMBER 10

(Below the release date is #LPS10Years, the label "THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED", and a copyright notice with the Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation and Allspark Pictures print logos underneath.)

(Fade to black.)

(We open at the LPS day camp: a close-up shot of the hydrant hangout's interior depicts Pepper Clark, laying on her back and staring blankly upwards as Minka Mark pokes her head inside.)

Minka Mark: (calls out to Zoe Trent in a hushed tone) Hey, Zoe! She's in here!

THIS NOVEMBER

(We cut to a shot of the twin daughters of Fisher Biskit, Brittany and Whittany, holding their pet chinchillas, Cashmere and Velvet, in their respective arms. They are following the masked assailant from the previous trailer as they walk towards the front door of Blythe Baxter's apartment.)

WITNESS

(We cut to a below-surface shot of a dark, murky landscape. Taking the plunge is one of Blythe's friends, Youngmee Song, equipped with diving gear — consisting principally of a one-piece swimsuit, a lensless swimming mask and a pair of swimfins. She has her fingers pressed against the nose bridge of her mask as a large cloud of foam explodes around her, bubbles drizzling past her face.)

THE END

(We cut back to the LPS day camp: a seemingly apologetic Pepper slowly advances towards a terrified Russell Ferguson, who immediately curls up into a ball.)

OF A GENERATION

(We cut to the outskirts of the national forest. Emerging through the mist is a cloaked reddish-brown mare, who is known in the original story as Wilted Rose, Shadow Blazer's sister.)

Wilted Rose: (notices something in the distance) They're coming.

(We open on a monochrome recap of A Death in the Pet Shop, fading in and out of each scene. It plays out in the following order: Penny Ling suffocating on a near-lethal mixture of Pepper Clark's fumes, and her subsequent falling to the floor in agony; Pepper cradling her lifeless body and bursting into tears; Blythe Baxter and a select number of pets at the vet's office, surrounding the dying panda as she takes her last breath; Russell Ferguson approaching her resting place at Downtown City Park, laying a bunch of flowers on the soil; and finally, Pepper laying on her front, staring blankly at Penny Ling's gravestone.)

Penny Ling: (echoes in the background) I love you all. Always have, always will.

Pepper Clark: (v.o.) Penny Ling and I really had it going. And just as we were about to hit it off... (beat) I blew it.

(We fade to the LPS day camp: inside the hydrant hangout, Pepper is laying on her back, staring blankly upwards in a guild-ridden mood.)

Pepper: (v.o.) These past six months haven't been very kind to me.

(We cut to a shot of Russell, along with Sunil Nevla and Vinnie Terrio, huddled up at the corner. All of them are shivering and fearing for their lives, and they look as though they haven't slept in days.)

Pepper: (v.o.) They boys haven't approached me since the funeral. They won't even look at me, let alone talk to me. Things haven’t been the same since Penny Ling died.

(We cut back to the interior of the hydrant hangout: Sugar Sprinkles is comforting a sleeping Buttercream Sundae on the other side, while Pepper stares at them solemnly. In the background, Minka Mark pokes her head inside and calls out to Zoe Trent.)

Pepper: (v.o.) Maybe Littlest Pet Shop would be better off if I died too.

Minka Mark: (in a hushed tone) Zoe! She's in here!

BASED ON THE THRILLING TWO-PART ORIGINAL STORY PUBLISHED ON FANFICTION.NET

(We fade to the darkened bedroom of a Fisher Biskit. From a distance, we see his twin daughters, Brittany and Whittany, standing next to him on his deathbed. Standing in the hallway is a visibly concerned Eliza Biskit, holding Poppy Pawsley in her arms, listening on at Fisher's dying words with morbid curiosity.)

Fisher Biskit: (weak) My daughters...

(We cut to the outskirts of the national forest, where we see a dark, shadowy figure resembling a mare slowly advancing towards the camera.)

Fisher: (v.o.) I would like to offer my sincerest apologies for my odious neglect.

(We cut to the Song residence at the apartment complex atop the Sweet Delights establishment. From a high angle shot, we see Youngmee Song laying on top of her bed, holding Nutmeg Dash in her hands as she stares up at the ceiling.)

Fisher: (v.o.) And to make it up to you both...

(We cut back to Fisher's bedroom: a close-up shot of Fisher on his deathbed details his sickly demeanour. His skin is a ghostly pale colour, almost all of his hair is gone, and he has lost a considerable amount of weight — hence his somewhat skeletal appearance.)

Fisher: I'm handing the reins of Largest Ever Pet Shop over to you and your mother.

(We cut to a split-screen shot of the twins and Eliza reacting to their inheritance with mild astonishment, further illustrated by their simultaneous gasps.)

AND THE DISCOVERY FAMILY ANIMATED SERIES LITTLEST PET SHOP

(We fade to an over-the-shoulder shot of a masked assailant entering Downtown City Park, approaching what appears to be the tree home of Shivers. As the camera pans down, we see him brandishing a freshly-sharpened machete in his arms. We cut to a close-up shot of Shivers, who appears to be preparing for winter hibernation as he is seen storing an armful of acorns into his tree.)

Zoe Trent: (v.o.) There's been a murder at Downtown City Park.

(As Shivers turns to spot the assailant as he advances towards the timid squirrel, the scene changes to Pepper inside the hydrant hangout at the LPS day camp, facing Zoe and Minka — both of whom appear rather morbid.)

Pepper: A murder?

(We cut to a shot of Shivers taking a few steps back and cowering against his tree as the assailant moves closer towards him, presumably to strike the killing blow. The scene then changes back to the Song residence, where Youngmee leaps from her bed, with Nutmeg in her arms, upon hearing a loud shriek from downstairs.)

Minka: (v.o.) They're saying it was a masked assassin who slaughtered one of the animals.

(We cut back to the hydrant hangout: as Pepper bares a look of dread, a dark red Equestrian Pegasus, known as Shadow Blazer, sticks her head into the hydrant, causing Pepper to yelp in surprise.)

Shadow Blazer: Hey, girls.

(We cut back to the national forest, where Shadow Blazer is shown to walk along a leaf-covered path, leading Youngmee, Sue Patterson and Jasper Jones to a safe haven of sorts.)

Shadow Blazer: (v.o.) I'm taking Youngmee and her friends with me to the forest.

(We cut to a shot of Spitfire, Shadow Blazer's wife, walking out of a dark cave as she prepares to greet her visitors. This is followed by a zoom-in shot of the shadowy mare from earlier.)

Shadow Blazer: (v.o.) I have a feeling something big is about to go down.

(The mare emerges from the mist and is revealed to be a cloaked reddish-brown mare as she pulls down her hood. She is known in the original story as Wilted Rose, Shadow Blazer's sister.)

Wilted Rose: (notices the group in the distance) They're coming.

THIS NOVEMBER

(We cut to a dimly lit shot inside what appears to be a cavern. A dinghy carrying five passengers — Youngmee, Sue, Jasper, Shadow Blazer and Spitfire — sails across a wide river. The camera quickly pulls up to reveal what they are sailing towards: an old vintage cabin sitting atop a gritty, sand-covered surface. A closer shot at the side of the cabin shows Wilted Rose bringing her head and hooves into view, overseeing the group's arrival.)

Spitfire: (v.o.) Make yourselves at home, sailors.

WITNESS

(We cut to a shot of Brittany and Whittany holding their pet chinchillas, Cashmere and Velvet, in their respective arms as they follow the aforementioned masked assailant through a dark hallway. As the camera pulls out, they are shown to be walking towards the front door of Blythe's apartment, most likely with ill intent. We then cut to the lobby at Tres Blasé, where the elevator at the side of the room can be heard going up. Cairo and Scout Kerry are shown on the desk, watching the elevator doors open with vague intrigue.)

THE END

(We cut to a below-surface shot of a dark, murky landscape. Taking the plunge is Youngmee, equipped with an essential amount of diving gear — consisting principally of a one-piece swimsuit, a lensless swimming mask and a pair of swimfins. She has her index and middle fingers pressed against the nose bridge of her mask as a cloud of foam explodes around her, bubbles drizzling past her face. We then cut to another shot, taking place inside the cabin, where Shadow Blazer takes a videotape into her hooves. She is shown standing in front of a pile of tapes sitting on a table, next to which is a combo television unit, as she closely inspects the tape curiously.)

OF A GENERATION

(We cut back to the LPS day camp, where a seemingly apologetic Pepper is shown walking towards Russell, who immediately curls up into a ball and huddles against Sunil and Vinnie for comfort and protection. Following afterwards is a shot of the group at the cavern, being led by Wilted Rose, walking out of the cabin as they begin to notice something in the distance.)

TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING

(We cut to a tracking shot of Sugar Sprinkles racing across the forest as she carries Pepper in her arms, who is apparently being chased by a vengeful Russell. We end on a mid-air shot of the cavern that lasts no more than a few seconds; Shadow Blazer projects a beam of red and orange flames from her hooves, aiming for Wilted Rose, the latter of whom retaliates by throwing a stream of magical energy towards her sister. Just before both of their powers clash, the screen cuts to black.)

Distorted Voice: The Biskit family legacy shall live on.

(We see the formation of the film's title as each word merges through the blackness and displays an array of pink and purple variations. It then stays dormant for a few seconds before fading to black.)

(We fade back to the cavern: Shadow Blazer is kneeling on the surface in front of the cavern, as though she is mourning the loss of a friend. As we cut to a close-up shot of her somber demeanour, the soft sound of sand crunching beneath one's footsteps becomes prominent and grows increasingly louder as Shadow Blazer begins to turn around. As her eyes widen at the sight of the figure approaching the downtrodden mare, accompanied by faint throat noises, the scene smash cuts to the film's release date.)

(MPA PG-13 green screen)

(We open on a monochrome tracking shot of Equestria as we pan down to the vicinity of Ponyville, borrowed from My Little Pony: The Movie.)

Shadow Blazer: (v.o.) In Equestria, we always believed in the power of friendship.

(We fade to black, then to a shot of a pair of hooves — one dark red and the other yellow, visiting a gravestone marked "HERE LIES LAURA ANDERSON 1999 — 2021", next to another marked "HERE LIES DYLAN ANDERSON 1961 — 2021". We then cut to a low-angle shot of the pair, Shadow Blazer and Spitfire, apparently mourning the former's old friend. The scene changes to a long shot of Seaquestria, where a large group of seaponies are holding a memorial service for one of their own — Princess Skystar. As we cut to a close up of the throne, her mother Queen Novo is sitting with her twin sisters, Haven Bay and Salina Blue, as they join hands in mourning.)

Shadow Blazer: (v.o.) But here, I've lost friends left, right and center.

(As we fade out, we see Shadow Blazer in a dimly lit cavern, kneeling on a gritty, sand-covered surface in front of an old vintage cavern. The camera slowly pulls out as her monologue continues.)

Shadow Blazer: Now I don't know what to do anymore.

(As we cut to a close-up shot of her solemn demeanour, we begin to hear the soft sound of sand cracking beneath one's footsteps, forcing Shadow Blazer to open her eyes as we see a mysterious figure, shrouded in darkness, slowly approaching her. We cut to the downtrodden mare at another angle, her eyes widening with shock as she turns her head to see the figure approaching her, accompanied by faint throat noises.)

Shadow Blazer: (aghast) Oh, my God!

(We fade in on a shot of Youngmee Song in her bedroom, laying atop her bed and staring blankly at the ceiling, holding Nutmeg Dash in her hands. The scene immediately transitions to a shot of Pepper Clark inside the hydrant hangout at the LPS day camp, baring the same expression as Youngmee.)
