	By the time everyone had eaten and had their fun, it was truly dark out. Everyone sat outside watching the stars in the sky.

As they watched the stars, six mares thought about the day they had just had.

"This was the best day ever..." Pinkie Pie said, full and happily rubbing her belly, cake icing lining her mouth.

"You said it, Pinkie..." said Rainbow, who was in much the same condition Pinkie was.

"I haven't had that much fun since the running of the leaves!" Apple Jack exclaimed, tipping her hat up.

"Quite an enjoyable evening indeed." Rarity said, watching the stars,  her hoof on Apple Jack's shoulder.

"Yeah. It was a lot of fun." Fluttershy said softly.

"You know the best part about it?" Twilight said to all her friends.

"What would that be, darling?" Rarity asked, wondering what could be better than the party they just had.

"I got to spend it with all of you." Twilight responded.

This made everyone tear up a bit.

"Aw, shucks, Twilight...that means a lot." Apple Jack said, wiping tears from her face.

"So!-" pinkie Blew her nose on a handkerchief that came out of nowhere. "-beatiful!"

"Thank you so much dear. We're glad to hear you say that." Rarity said through sniffles.

"Yeah. Thank you twilight." Fluttershy, who had been trying not to cry, buried her face into her  tail and sobbed.

"S-shut up! You know I can't handle mushy stuff...i-i'm too....cool for...crying!" Rainbow Dash wiped her eyes to keep from shedding tears at the heartfelt comment.

Everyone converged near Twilight, forming a circle. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash had an idea.

"Hey, Twilight! Wanna see somethin' that'll make this day even better?"

"Now what could that be, Rainbow?" Twilight asked, confused.

"I still haven't given you a present right?" Rainbow said.

"Yes, that's right. What-" She was cut off by Rainbow.

"Wait here." Rainbow said as she left ad soon returned with a cloud. "Watch this."

Everyone watched Rainbow dash as she flew into and around the cloud, reforming it and shaping it as she went. When she was done, she flew back down and landed on the ground near twilight.

"Look up there." She said, pointing to the sky.

Everyone looked and saw the cloud. Rainbow dash had shaped it into Twilight's cutie mark.

"Wow! Oh thank you Rainbow!" Twilight said as she hugged Rainbow, who gently pushed her away.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa. I don't do hugs." Rainbow said sternly.

"Oh right, sorry." Twilight apologized

Everyone came close and squeezed each other tight in a big group hug. Everyone except Rainbow.

"well, maybe just this once." Rainbow said as she joined the circle, hugging her friends.

"I love you all." Twilight said, smiling and looking around at her friends. She couldn't have asked for a better day.

This truly was, the greatest...birthday...ever.
