Production and development
On April 1, 2013, Meghan McCarthy wrote as part of an April Fools' Day joke that the episode is the second part of a two-parter which features Justin Bieber as a guest star, with the first part being the ninth episode of the fourth season, which is a musical episode titled "It Ain't Easy Being Cheesy",[2] and the second part being the sixteenth episode of the fourth season, where he sings with the Breezies.[3] In the previous third generation line of the My Little Pony brand, Breezies, or Breezie Ponies, refers to a fairy-like class of ponies that are small in size and sport butterfly antennae and wings.
The Breezies are first mentioned by Fluttershy in the season four episode Three's A Crowd, where she goes on an expedition to observe them.
When Treehouse TV aired this episode, Seabreeze saying the words "stupid" and "losers" was muted out.
Summary
Cheer for the Breezies

Too loud for you, Fluttershy?
- "You can do it, Breezies!"
- — Mane 6 sans Fluttershy
...adding it's important that they cheer quietly.
The Breezies come to Ponyville
All of Ponyville prepares for the Breezies' arrival with a gathering in the town square. Rainbow Dash, Flitter, and Cloud Chaser create a breeze for the Breezies to ride on, and Fluttershy explains to Mr. and Mrs. Cake the breeze's purpose: to activate the Breezies' magic and protect their pollen.

The Breezies arrive led by Seabreeze.
Despite the direction of a male Breezie named Seabreeze, the tiny creatures are unable to correct themselves. Fluttershy saves the windswept Breezies and carries them to safety. The rest of the Mane Six commend Fluttershy for her quick actions, while Spike apologizing profusely for his mistake. Rainbow Dash asks if she should make another breeze, but Fluttershy decides to look after the traumatized Breezies for a short while, especially given their sudden attachment to her. Seabreeze however, looks worried by this decision.
Fluttershy's new houseguests

Somebreezie is less than thrilled about his current living conditions.
Despite Seabreeze's frustrations, Fluttershy continues to dote on the tiny creatures. When she feels they are well enough to resume their journey, she is about to lead them out of the cottage, until two of the Breezies start coughing and sneezing. They and the rest of the Breezies fake having colds, and Fluttershy allows them to stay even longer, making Seabreeze even more upset.

Priorities.
Saving Seabreeze
Seabreeze attempts to make the trip home alone but finds himself unable to fly straight because of the heavy wind. After avoiding being crushed by falling acorns, he eventually crashes into a beehive, upsetting a swarm of bees. Before the bees attack Seabreeze, Fluttershy arrives and kindly asks the bees to leave him alone. When appealing to the bees fails, Fluttershy angrily demands that they leave. The bees finally receive the message and return to their hive.

Fluttershy realizing the kindest things are not always the most helpful.
Fluttershy tells the Breezies once more that it's time to go home. The little creatures protest, but Fluttershy remains firm.
- "You must go. Now!"
- — Fluttershy
Saddened, the Breezies finally leave Fluttershy's cottage, and Seabreeze silently bows in gratitude to Fluttershy, who breaks down in tears after the creatures have all gone.
The magic of kindness

Adorable, aren't they?
The group of Breezies and ponies-turned-Breezies enter a small opening on the side of a cliff and pass through a slowly closing portal, entering the Breezies' home grotto. The other Breezies happily reunite with the ones they left behind, and Seabreeze reunites with his own family. Before joining her friends at the portal, Fluttershy bids farewell to the Breezies, and Seabreeze gives her a flower to remember them by. The Mane Six fly through the portal just before it closes.
Epilogue

How can a simple flower do something like that?
Quotes
- For more quotes, see the episode's transcript.
- Fluttershy: I was thinking we could do a special Breezie cheer!
- Pinkie Pie: I love cheers!
- Fluttershy: But these cheers should be quiet cheers. We don't want to startle them. They need to be able to concentrate. Why don't we try it? You can do it, Breezies.
- Rest of main cast: [shouting] You can do it, Breezies!
- Fluttershy: Oh, my.
- Applejack: Heh, sorry, Fluttershy. I had no idea how hard it was to do a cheer quietly.
- Fluttershy: Oh, it's okay. Quiet doesn't come naturally for everypony. Let's try it again.
- Rest of main cast: [quieter but still loudly] You can do it, Breezies!
- Fluttershy: Perhaps just a little bit quieter.
- Rest of main cast: [quieter] You can do it, Breezies!
- Fluttershy: Just a little quieter.
- Rest of main cast: [practically whispering] You can do it, Breezies!
- Fluttershy: [loudly] Perfect! Oh, um, I mean... yay.
- Twilight Sparkle: [whispering] Everypony, it's time. Please welcome... the Breezies!
- Pinkie Pie: So...cute... Can't...take...it!
- Spike: [hushed] Pinkie Pie, can I hop on you so I can see the Breezies?
- Pinkie Pie: [hushed, straining] May explode!
- Twilight Sparkle: I, for one, am very proud of you, Fluttershy. Leaping into action like that.
- Rarity: I feel like I should design you a special hero's gown! Heh... Or a sash. At least a sash.
- Seabreeze: [tirade of indignation]
- Applejack: Uh... what did he say?
- Fluttershy: I'd... rather not say.
- Fluttershy: I'm working on a bee-type dance and was hoping you could help me? Does this bring to mind any images for you? Perhaps a bee?
- Twilight Sparkle: This is probably gonna feel a little funny at first, but you're gonna have to trust me.
- Pinkie Pie: I love new ideas that make me feel funny at first!
- Rainbow Dash: So, uh, I've always kinda wondered what it would be like to be a griffon.
- Twilight Sparkle: Not a chance.
- Rainbow Dash: You sure? What about a dragon? No? It doesn't have to shoot fire!
