Pinkie Pie returned home, feeling gloomier than ever. She felt she needed to tell her problems to somepony - somepony like Granny Pie. How could Grannny Pie leave like that?
Looking up to the sunset sky, Pinkie Pie continued raising the rocks on her parents' rock farm. Until, suddenly, BOOM!
She looked up, and saw the most beautiful thing in her life! She saw the a gigantic explosion, with rainbow colours so brilliant and bright, it nearly blinded her. It strongly breezed past her hair, messing it up properly. Pinkie Pie had no explanation to explain how she felt that day.
For the first time in her life, she was smiling.
The longer she stared, the wider her smile became. How good smiling was! If only her family could experience joy too.
It also brought a thought into her head. Pinkie Pie, whose mind was rather sharp, wondered how she could possibly create smiles, and brighten up the lives of her family. A-ha! That was it! She rushed into the barn, busy on her new lightbulb of an idea.
-----
Mince Pie, her father, mumbled, "We better harvest the rocks from the south field."
Pinkie Pie popped her head out of the barn.
Blueberry Pie stared at her, eyes begoggled, "Pinkamina Diane Pie! Is that you?"
Excited, Pinkie Pie shouted, "Mom! I need you and dad and the sisters to come in. Quick!"
Inkie, Blinkie, Mince and Blueberry trotted in at once.
"Surprise!" Pinkie Pie cried out. "You like it? It's called... a party!"
Her family stared around at the barn. They did not seem at all impressed, or happy. But their mouths trembled furiously.
Pinkie Pie fell back, head low. "Oh, you don't like it."
Almost as if they were correcting her, they couldn't take it anymore. Large grins and smiles appeared on their usually stern gloomy faces.
Pinkie Pie gasped, "You like it! I'm so happy!"
Around and around the barn, they danced. They ate cakes, played party games, and blew balloons. It was so much fun!

"Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie cried out, running towards her friend's normal meeting place. "Fluttershy?"
She looked around, in confusion. "Where are you?"
Journeying on a few miles from there, she called out her friend's name, searching desperately.
Suddenly, she heard a few whimpers from a boulder in front of her. Pinkie Pie brightened up, and followed the noises.
"Fluttershy!" she squealed, bouncing around in joy.
Fluttershy - was crying. In between sobs, she said, "Oh..um..excuse me. I'm looking for my friend..um..Pinkie Pie?"
"Oh, I'M Pinkie Pie, you silly!" Pinkie Pie giggled.
"Pinkie Pie?" the yellow filly asked. "Yay!"
"Look, Fluttershy! I have my cutie mark!" Pinkie Pie continued.
Fluttershy oohed and aahed at her friend's cutie mark. "Oh, it's very pretty, Pinkie."
Pinkie Pie gasped. "You've got one too! Ooh! Butterflies! My favourite!"
Fluttershy smiled, before trembling and saying, "Oh no! Pinkie Pie - what about your parents?"
"They're taken care of!" Pinkie Pie giggled. She pointed a hoof at her sisters Inkie and Blinkie, who were skipping rope with an already new-found friend.
"Oh, but that's wonderful!" Fluttershy said, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Do you need help going back home?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Oh, no. I'm living there, with these little cute critters," Fluttershy replied, pointing to a small village in the distance.
"Ponyville?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Great! Some day, I'll come to visit you!"
"Oh my, it's getting..um...late," Fluttershy whispered.
"You're right! The timber wolves will come out! RUN!!!" Pinkie Pie shrieked.
Fluttershy shivered, "T-t-timber wolves?"
"Hurry!" Pinkie Pie screamed, grabbing her friend by the hoof.
It was late, indeed. The sky was no longer golden, but now a dark blue. Midnight blue. "It must be eight o'clock!" Pinkie Pie cried out.
"Shh! They're here!"
Yes, they were. Big brown figures, the shape of wolves jumped out of the bushes, snarling and showing their fangs out.
Fluttershy clung onto Pinkie Pie, in horror.
Pinkie Pie screamed and tried to run - but the timber wolves had surrounded them.
"Fluttershy - we're - we're --"
"DOOMED!!!!"
