Celestia’s sun broke over the horizon of town. The air was cool and crisp. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and a few ponies were already going about their business in a lazy sort of way, seeing as it was still early. However, there was one Earth Pony who had been up even earlier and was now bouncing around town, dropping invitations into letter boxes.
This bubbly pony was called Pinkie Pie, said by her friends to be an anomaly of pony kind. She however couldn’t care less, as today was a special celebration. “It’s always a special celebration silly. But today is a super duper extra special celebration.”
I don’t know how she did that. Seriously, I’m scared of her. Anyway, Pinkie was doing her trade mark bounce all the way to the library. As she knocked on the door, she failed to comprehend that Twilight probably won’t be awake. After awhile of no answering, she tried again, but even harder. She heard a groan from inside and shuffle of bed sheets, but still no answer. Then Pinkie’s knee began to ache. “That’ll wake her up.”
The next sounds to come from inside the tree was a scream, a tumble out of bed, a fall down the stairs, and a mutter of annoyance. “Pinkie.” Soon though, Twilight opened the door, looking in a right mess. “I believe this is yours,” she muttered.
Using her magic, she levitated Pinkie’s pet Alligator out of her house and dropped him in front of Pinkie. “What was he even doing in my bed,” asked Twilight.
“I don’t know. He gets up to all sorts of adventures. And I am not one to keep him from them. That reminds me, I wonder what my old pet shark is doing right now.”
“Pet Shark? Forget it actually. So what brings you here?”
“Oh right. I was going to invite you to Borealis’ Welcome Party.”
“His Welcome Party. Wait. You’re inviting me, Twilight Sparkle, to Borealis’, my coltfriend’s own welcome party.”
“Yeah. Won’t it be fun? Where is he anyway? I need to ask him if I can throw him a welcome party.”
Twilight looked at Pinkie with a confusing look and was about to question why she would throw a welcome party without asking Borealis, but, then again this was Pinkie Pie. “Sorry Pinkie, but Borealis had to go back to Lonmane to get the last of his things. But he’ll be back this afternoon and I’m sure he’ll go.”
“Alrighty then. Here’s your invite. Now, have you seen Rainbow Dash?”
Twilight was about to answer, when she was interrupted by some loud snoring. “I think she’s on that cloud Pinkie.”
She looked up and saw a cyan leg flopping over the cloud. “Thanks Twilight. I know what to do.”
Dash was sleeping on her favourite cloud. She had been up early making sure there weren’t any clouds in the sky and now she was taking a well deserved rest. “Mm, Spitfire. I had no idea. No Soarin’ I don’t mind if you stick it in there.” Her dream was interrupted when she felt her cloud be disturbed. As she slowly woke, she saw the bubbly pink pony appear, then disappear and continuing to do so. “What do ya want Pinkie? I’ve been clearing th clouds and I just want to rest.”
“Oh sorry Rainbow...Dash. It’s just that...I was going to...invite you to...Borealis’ wel...come part,” said Pinkie in between jumps.
“Oh, sure I’ll come Pinkie. You don’t really have to ask me though. I would have come anyway.”
“Great. So I’ll...see you there at...7.”
“Sure. Now let me sleep.”
“Okie dokie...lokie,” and the pink mare bounced off. “Next stop, Rarity’s.”
Rainbow Dash watched Pinkie bounce off to her next meet. “Thank Celestia. Now I can get some sleep. Why does my cloud feel wet?”
Pinkie Pie kept on bouncing through Ponyville on her way to Rarity’s. When she Got there however, she saw that numerous suitcases outside. She was curious and decided to follow her nose and investigate. “Not that I have much choice.”
How can you even hear me? Anyway, she saw that Rarity was packing some of her manikins away. “Hey Rarity. Whatcha doin’? Are you moving?”
“Mm. Oh not at all darling,” replied the well educated unicorn. “Well, as it turns out, I have been invited to the engagement party of Hoity Toity and Photo Finish.”
“Oh that’s great Rarity. I’m sure you’ll...Wait, when did Hoity Toity and Photo Finish get together.”
“Well I don’t want to bore you with the details, but, there was a photo shoot, both got into an argument, then, for some reason began to make out, and well, they tried to keep it a secret, but, you know the tabloids and they are now about to announce their engagement.”
Pinkie simply looked at Rarity with her head held high and her eyes half closed. “And why wasn’t I, invited to plan the party?”
“Because they don’t know you.”
“But I know them.”
“Of course you do Pinkie.”
“So, is all that stuff outside yours,” ask the pink pony changing attitudes.
“Oh goodness no darling,” said Rarity. “Those are Sweetie Belle’s, ‘necessities.’”
“Well they are.”
“She’s going to Mother and Father’s house while I’m away. These are my things over here darling,” said Rarity pointing over to the enormous pile of suitcases and bags ready to go to Canterlot.
“Gee Rarity, do you really need all of those things. And who helped to get all this downstairs.”
“Well of course I need all of this. Last time I went to Canterlot I was so under prepared. And, well, I got Caramel and Lucky to help me again.”
“Those two will do just about for you.”
“Yes well, I do have to return the favour to those two every now again Pinkie,” said Rarity as she trotted over to her last suitcase. “Thankfully I have plenty to give.”
“Wait, you haven’t even met Twilight’s coltfriend yet.”
“Oh don’t worry darling about that darling. I’ll be going there this afternoon for tea. I’ll sure to meet him then.”
“Okie dokie lokie then. I’ll be off. Gonna see Applejack and Fluttershy.”
“By then darling,” and with that the Pink mare bounced away.
Pinkie Pie continued to bounce down towards the country lane leading to the outskirts of Ponyville. There resided the apple family farm. Pinkie Saw Applejack bucking apple trees with Big Macintosh.
“Hey Applejack.”
“Huh. Oh howdy Pinkie. How can ah help ya?”
“Oh you don’t have to help me, but I do want you and Lasso to come to Borealis’ welcome party, and ask Lasso if he wants one too.”
“Why thank you Pinkie. I would love to come. But ah’m afraid Lasso can’t make it. He’s travelin’.”
Pinkie was surprised. “But you told me two days ago that he was going to stop travelling.”
“Don’t worry Pinkie, he said he’d be back. He jus’ wanted ta go on one last trip before he officially retires from it.”
“Oh, okay then. Hope he comes back soon. Can I at least hold a party in his honour?”
“Course you can. Ah don’t see why ya can’t.”
“Yay,” said Pinkie, bouncing in place for joy. Her attention then turned to Big Mac and trotted towards him. “What about you Big Mac. Do you wanna come as well?”
“No thank you Pinkie. Ah’m not really the partying pony.”
“Aw,” moaned Pinkie. “Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase,” she wined whilst battering her eye lashes at him. Then she whispered into his ear, “I can give you a very special treat afterwards.” Big Mac blushed through his own red coat at Pinkie’s offer and froze solid. Pinkie simply laughed. “I’m only kidding silly. You don’t have to come if you don’t want to. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to see Fluttershy.” And Pinkie bounced away, with Big Mac still frozen in place.
Pinkie Pie soon made her way up the path to Fluttershy’s cottage near the border of the Everfree forest. As she crossed the bridge however, she felt a bit strange, as if something was different. She simply shrugged it off. She thought it was just normal pony sense and not her Pinkie sense. She eventually got to the door and knocked it. She waited, and waited. She knocked again. “This isn’t right,” she said to herself. “Fluttershy’s normally up by now. It’s time,” she began as she put on an inspectors hat and a picked up a pipe, “to investigate.”
In her room, Fluttershy was sleeping with her head on the chest of her new coltfriend Blue Muscle. The previous days incidents had meant the two had connected and Fluttershy knew that this was the stallion she wanted to be with. As she snuggled into his muscular chest, listening to his heartbeat pounding strong, Blue Muscle began to slowly wake up, but as he opened his eyes, instead of being greeted by the ceiling, he was greeted by a pair of blue eyes. “WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO FLUTTERSHY?!”
In a mad panic, Blue Muscle scrambled out of the bed as fast as he could. The sudden impact of his jump out had caused the bed to collapse in on itself and waking Fluttershy as well as crashing her into the ground. Blue Muscle quickly hid in the closet and tried his best to close the door. Pinkie had already sprung for the closet and was trying her best to open the closet. “COME OUT NOW. I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!”
“Uh,” groaned Fluttershy. “Pinkie Pie, what’s going on?”
“Oh hi Fluttershy. There was this strange pony in your bed and I chased him into the closet. You can thank me now.”
It took Fluttershy a second to regain what had just happened. When she did, she went into a panic. “Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,” she said as she rushed passed Pinkie Pie.
“Huh. Another day. Another time when I find someone in someone’s bed. Mainly mine.”
Fluttershy got to the closet and did her best to coax Blue Muscle out. “Shhh, sh, sh, sh, sh. It’s okay. She’s a friend of mine. You don’t have to be scared of her.” As Blue Muscle slowly emerged out of the closet, she kissed him on the cheek. Both blushed at this. Pinkie was taken rather aback.
“Would somepony please fill me in on what the doozy is going on here?”
“Well, um Pinkie, this is Blue Muscle. I met him a couple of days ago.”
“So, why is he here? Ooh, ooh, ooh. Are you two in a relationship?”
Fluttershy went red again. “Well, um Pinkie, I suppose,” she gulped, “we, we are.” Fluttershy simply smiled and blushed in hope that Pinkie would not make a big deal out of this. Then again, this is Pinkie Pie.
“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh OH MY GOSH. Oh Fluttershy, this is super duper news. Oh you have to tell me all about him. And then I’ve got to throw parties. There’s got to be a Fluttershy’s first coltfriend party, a welcome party and 2 party, party. Oh this is going to be so great.”
As Pinkie continued to ramble on, Fluttershy could see that Blue Muscle was growing shyer and shyer about Pinkie’s idea. Fluttershy knew what she had to do. “Um, Pinkie.”
“Yeah Fluttershy,” said Pinkie as she stopped.
“Um, there is something you should know about Blue Muscle. He’s um, very shy. I mean really shy. I mean even more shy then me.” Blue Muscle looked away from Fluttershy. “Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn’t mean it like that,” she said to him before kissing him on the cheek.
Pinkie simply went, “Ooooh. Don’t worry Fluttershy. I understand if he doesn’t want a party. But can I at least throw one in his honour. I mean, I’m doing the same for Lasso, so I guess I can roll the two into one. Well, Fluttershy, here’s your invite to Borealis’ party this evening. And here is one for you Blue Muscle if you want to come as well.”
Both accepted the invitation, but before anything else happened, Pinkie hugged Blue Muscle. She eventually retracted her head to say something. “Thanks for making Fluttershy happy Blue. I hope you do come to one of my parties at some point.”
As Pinkie dismounted, Blue Muscle smiled. He then gave a salute to say he was leaving and headed for the door, but not before kissing Fluttershy on the lips. Fluttershy went red once more as Blue Muscle descended the stairs to the door. Fluttershy could only stare dreamingly as he left. “He’s really cute,” said Pinkie.
Fluttershy was startled. “Pinkie.”
“And strong.”
“Pinkie!”
“And I bet he has an enormous...”
PINKIE! I think it’s best if we end this now.
“Aw, you’re no fun.”
HOW DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT?!
