Ding Ding Ding!  Twilight set the spoon and glass aside.  "I'd like to thank you all for coming.  It's not every day we get to celebrate a centenary.  Very few ponies reach 100 years of age.  We've come to celebrate Golden Oak's birthday.  And as a way of expressing our happiness on your birthday, we've baked you this."

A large cake was wheeled out.  "Make a wish," said the elderly stallion's granddaughter.  He leaned in to blow out the candles.

The cake erupted, sending splatters in every direction.  "Surprise!" yelled Pinkie Pie, bursting forth from the cake.

Golden Oak clutched his barrel.  "My heart."  He fell over.

Dr. Horse rushed forward.  "He's dead," the doctor pronounced.
