That Strange Stallion
The Strange Inventor
While others were kind of doing their duties. There were some who found their time needed elsewhere. One particular premier pink party pony of Ponyville, was dashing in and out of the Golden Oaks Library setting up for the bestest library welcome party anypony had ever seen!
She brought in balloons, streamers, punch, cake, party hats, party games, party everything! Nothing was too good for a friend. As she added more items, she kept passing by a green and brown object. Mmm, chocolate mint would be great.
"Hi there," said the object. Oh, it was a stallion. Duh, chocolate mints don't just walk up to you. Oh wait, he's talking more, "Watcha doin?" That's a silly question.
The earth pony mare didn't stop zipping back and forth from the library to where she was getting supplies as she answered, "Isn't it obvious, silly? I'm setting up for a party!"
"Nice, I love parties," and who doesn't? They're the most fantasmical thing, with cake, and games, and friends. "Is it for that Summer Sun Celebration?" he asked further.
"Nope! It's for a new pony that just came to town," boy won't she be surprised, and why wouldn't she be? It is a surprise party.
"Wait this is a party for me?" What? The pink mare skid to a halt, making squealing rubber sounds as she stopped in front of the stallion, getting a close look at him. She definitely didn't recognize him and she knew everypony in Ponyville.
She gave a sharp inhale, "Oh my gosh! You ARE a new pony in Ponyville. Nope this is for an older new pony." Now she can throw two parties! Should she combine it with the first one? No, that wouldn't be fair to the both of them. So she'll throw the one for the purple unicorn and baby dragon, and then she can give the green stallion his own surprise party. But where would she throw it? She didn't see any new buildings being bought out. Oh well, she'll figure it out later. This was going to be great!
"Yep, I'm Martin," he introduced himself. He's got a good smile, which makes her smile in return. Smiles are the best.
"Hiyah Martin, I'm Pinkie Pie." That's a funny name, Martin, Martan, Martian. Oh! What if he was actually an alien, "Are you an alien from another planet come to Equestria to spread your galactic playground and bring fun and cheer to all life in the universe using a jumbo space ship that holds like a gajillion gallons of whipped cream and cover the whole planet in a blanket of creamy goodness. But then a misunderstanding happens and we retaliate with caramel apples and candy corn and then there's a war of sweets that'll last for decades until somepony makes a delicious treat that BOTH sides will end the war to have?" That sounded like the most delicious misunderstanding ever!
But the green stallion looked at her funny, "What? No, that's totally not why I'm here." Aww, that's too bad, "But that sounds awesome! If that was true, I'd totally have an orbital laser that spews chocolate sauce," oh, yummy! "I wonder if Director could build anything like that?" He looked up in thought. Who? That sounds like a cool name.
"Who's Director?" If he can make something that shoots chocolate sauce she would have to get in contact with him.
"Director is a very rich friend of mine who makes wicked inventions that can do almost anything." That sounds super neato. She wondered if this Director fellow would let her borrow some of his toys. "But he's like super constrictive with his stuff and only let's his workers use them," he said, dashing her hopes. Well, there goes that idea.
"Aw that's too bad. Oh well. I have fun toys of my own, like my party cannon!" she said as she pulled an actual cannon from nowhere. She always kept it close by, in case of party emergencies.
"Sweet how does it work?" he asked while putting his head in the barrel of the cannon.
"Well you just do this and," Kaplow, went the cannon. Martin was blasted backwards with confetti and streamers covering his face. Pinkie hopped over to him and stared into his eyes. Oh, swirly, his eyes look like whirlpools. "So watcha think?" she asked.
"I taste party in my brain," he said and took a moment to sneeze confetti and shake his head. Pinkie gave a giggle snort before falling over and laughing outright. Martin soon joined her, finding the laugh contagious.
Pinkie got up first, "I like you. We should totally hang out again later when I'm not as busy. You'll be in town for a while, right?" Her excitement was emphasized by a quick bounce. She definitely had to give him a party now.
"Yep, no idea how long, but I'll be here for awhile," he answered, giving a firm nod while standing up as well.
"Goodie! I'll see you later then," she gave a little wave, which he returned, before zipping back off into the library. The funny stallion walked away. Oh she had the perfect prank for him at a later day. He'll never see it coming.

I didn't know there was that much of a difference, but calling it peach sounded more adorable then saying yellow. So yes it is now intentional
Another nice chapter. You captured Pinkie Perfectly!
Applejack next?

Applejack is last but only because I have something special planned for chapter 7, completely not canon or makes any sense but I just HAVE to do it
I agree, too much is simply too much, but I tend to enjoy a story where it happens at least once in a while, since it pretty much happens in the show, Pinkie shaking the camera for one is a great example.
6758487 She is my favorite, I look forward to your rendition

I'll try my best, but if you're going to expect some southern twang, then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint. I've no real experience with that so the best I'll get is replacing 'I' with 'Ah' and the occasional 'ya'll'
Hehe, funny.
Those two got along far too well for my peace of mind...
Funny.
Bloody hell, I can't come up with anything for this chapter. I hope that Director was not a reference I am unfamiliar with.
I swear I heard a record skip at this line.
I think I love this story even more now for avoiding turning Pinkie into a badly written caricature which spews out memes and references because RANDUMB FOURTH WALL RITELOLOLOLLOL!!111!!!
Ugh, so many stories just ruin her characterization. Nice to see one that doesn't do that.
They confuse her too!
So far he's been assaulted twice and hasn't done anything about it. Wat?
All too often I read stories where the human hates parties/sweets or flat out walls pinkie because of how hyper she is.
Idk, I probably read too many 'serious' or depressing stories.
This was a refreshing take of Pinkie. She's not insane, completely ignores the fourth wall and doesn't have discord levels of random knowledge or wierd powers that she's oblivious to.
Just 'normal' Pinkie and I enjoyed the interection with our mysterious Martin very much. Felt very natural.
Pinkie breaking/acknowledging the fourth wall should be used like ground cloves or cinnamon in cooking. A very light hand 1st the right time. To much and no one will eat it and if they try.... Not enough and it's a bit bland.
The unintentional Marvin the Martian reference was just right.
oohh., that made me think of a gag in the crazy story "MLP Loops", where Pinkie crossed over into Star Wars and changed the Death Star to do that sort of thing!
I TASTE PARTY IN MY BRAIN I LAUGHED FOR SO LONG AFTER READING THAT XD
