There is one birthday Cheese Sandwich never forgets: Pinkie Pie’s, and the three little ponies who share it with her. He never misses throwing their party—but they’re never there.
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.
Cheesy Sense is hitting Cheese Sandwich hard, but Pinkie’s having a difficult pregnancy, and Cheese doesn’t want to leave her. And he also suspects there’s something Pinkie isn’t telling him.
In an AU where Pinkie barely misses the Rainboom, neither she nor Cheese Sandwich are party ponies. However, Cheese ends up working at the Pie family rock farm.
