Cheese Sandwich babysits and plans a very small and very important party. Some unexpected guests appear.
His in-laws.
And they are not in a party mood.

Written for the CheesePie contest/prompt, “What Does Pinkie Most Wish For?” CheesePie, obviously, and fluff. Lots and lots of fluff. And disgustingly sentimental. You've been warned.

After bonding with Pinkie's friends, Maud Pie is almost ready to leave the rock farm and pursue a higher education. However, there is one member of the Pie family who won't be able to see her off: Her beloved grandmother, Nana Pinkie. Marble and Limestone agree that this simply won't do, and as such, there's only one solution. That's right, it's time for a good ole fashioned trek to Grandmother's house!

Little do they know that one of Discord's creations from way back when has spontaneously attained consciousness, psychic powers, and a burning desire to take over the rock farm and make Maud his queen. Yeah, that's the tricky thing about chaos: It can sometimes do things you didn't tell it to do when you least expect it. Not that Discord cares, of course. After all, he has an airtight alibi. As such, Tom is free to torment the Pie sisters as much as he wants without any negative repercussions.

Or so he thinks.

The Rainboom happens as it should, and a few certain fillies earn their cutie marks because of it. Except little Pinkamena Diane Pie, who went inside before she could witness it. Thus, she never left the rock farm.

That meant she wasn't in Ponyville to throw that party that inspired a runaway colt named Cheese Sandwich.

However, the two end up meeting in adulthood, and the broke wanderer Cheese takes a job at the rock farm, and works alongside the grumpy Pinkamena and her family.

My take on an AU, created upon realizing that Cheese Sandwich was indirectly affected by the Sonic Rainboom. And in case you're wondering, the whole eternal night thing goes the same way as the show (except a different mare--whoever you imagine--wields the Element of Laughter).

After the rousing success of her first party, bringing joy to her parents and sisters, Pinkie Pie left her home to teach that joy to others. On her first day in Ponyville she stumbles across a struggling Sugarcube Corner, and resolves to help out the business.

Pinkie's not one for losing ponies... or alligators.
So when she loses her one and only pet, what is she to do?

Maud, for one, knows that she must be there for her little sister.

When Cheesy Sense calls, Cheese Sandwich has no choice but to obey it, throwing parties and spreading laughter wherever he’s needed. This time is different, though. Pinkie is having a very hard pregnancy, and he doesn’t want to leave her. Between keeping an eye on Pinkie and trying to convince her friends that he’s not just being a nervous husband, he has a lot on his hooves. And on top of that, he’s got the suspicion that there’s something Pinkie isn’t telling him.

This fic is a partner piece to Triple Threat. You can consider it a sort of prequel to that and to another fic, Triple Slam. It’s out of continuity from my other CheesePie work, meaning that it isn’t a certain look at their future at all.
