//------------------------------// // PARTY!!! // Story: Falling // by Maddie Koester //------------------------------// On the last day of school before winter break, I learned about the yearly Hearth's Warming party. Pinkie Pie threw it in Sugar Cube Corner and it was supposedly one of the biggest parties of the year. Platinum had told me about it; he said it was just a casual party. When I told my mother that, she refused to let me wear my Hearth's Warming sweater. She spent ten minutes digging through my closet to find me something to wear. She had finally decided on a blue sparkling shirt and a black skirt. We walked together to Sugar Cube Corner, then went mother went to her dinner party. I was glad, as I walked in. I saw tons of other ponies. there was music blasting, a table full of desserts , and red and green decorations every where. I walked through the crowd looking for Platinum when I saw Pinkie Pie. she was at the DJ Table talking to Vinyl Scratch. her mane was covered with confetti! Apparently she set off party cannon before the party started. I continued looking for Platinum when someone tapped my shoulder; I turned around to see Platinum smiling. "Hi, do want to grab a bite to eat?" he smiled. "Sure," I smiled back. We walked over to the dessert table. I saw Pineapple Crush, I was confused because I figured he would be at the same dinner party my mother was going too. He was with a peach colored unicorn with a gold mane. She was wearing a cloak. "Do you want some cake?" Platinum asked. I nodded and went to look for Pineapple Crush and the unicorn again, but they were gone. I looked around, but I couldn't see them anywhere. Platinum and I walked over to a table and sat down. "Are you okay?" You seem a bit off," Platinum said. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. This is a crazy party," I replied. "Not compared to some other ones I've seen," Platinum said with a laugh. We ate our dessert and chatted. I saw some other kids from our school a few times, including Copper Shell and her group. Platinum and I were dancing when I felt someone pump into be.. I turned to see three foals from school; Jazzy Apple, Controller Note, and Hurricane. Jazzy was the one who pumped into me. "Oh mah gawsh, Ahm soo sorry!" Jazzy Apple exclaimed. "It's fine," I replied. They were nice and seemed to be friends with everypony. they were blank flanks like most of us. Only four foals in our class had cutie marks. We walked over to a quieter corner and started to talk. as we talked. As we talked, why everypony wanted to be their friend. they were so nice and were always respectful. They listened to our side of the conversation, and knew how to keep one going. By the end of the night i had three more friends. Hearth's Warming Day was amazing! I got a new notebook, a book, and many more presents. Afterwards we went ice skating. Mother wasn't to into it, but Papa and I had a lot of fun. The rest of the day was family time. I hoped Platinum had fun too.
