Flurry had just finished unpacking her stuff
"Ok, I have one week to help Spike find true love!" Flurry said looking out the window with Binoculars "You may think you'll win this Pumpkin, but just because you live with Pinkie doesn't mean victory, after all, I'm here with Spike!" she smiled "And by the end of this week he will find love by my hoof, or not at all!" she declared silently with a smile
Pumpkin was laying on her bed looking through a book about dating
"Alright, I have nothing but time" Pumpkin smiled "She only has a week, but once she leaves I'm still open to win this!" Pumpkin flips a page "And It might not be today, or tomorrow, but someday! I will help Spike find love!" She read a passage for a moment "Would Pinkie like Flowers or Flour more?" Pumpkin asked the empty room before jolting in a notebook next to her "Probably both" She decided.
"Alright," Spike said cracking his fingers "Time to set this plan into action!" he looked down at his tiny notebook "By the end of the week those two will be the best of friends!" He smiled as his plan "They're already kicking it off pretty good tho, a lot better than I would have thought." Spike reach up to grab an ink bottle of his shelf, and accidentally knocked Pinkie-plush off the shelf with it "Oh no" he leaned over picking up the ink-covered toy "I better clean this first, she won it for me form that carnival as a gift after all" he said as he picked it up and rushed it to the kitchen for emergency cleaning. Flurry  moved in time to not be noticed by him
"I feel bad," Flurry said once Spike was out of earshot "but I have to prove to that Pumpkin girl that I am the superior one!" Flurry turned to go, then zipped after Spike "But first I'll show Spike the Ink Removal Spell I learned and save his mini-Pinkie!" she said flying to the kitchen at full speed. 
Pinkie was writing in her party book when her Pinkie scene went off 
"I have a might powerful feeling...that somepony is planning something to do with me..." Pinkie flipped through her notes "But my birthday isn't for another 2 months...and Gummies isn't for another 1 month and 29 days." she looked at the walls of the room in suspicion "so...somepony's trying to catch me off guard with something ey? Well, two can play at that game! I'll be so ready...YOU'LL BE SURPRISED, YOU...ENTITY OF UNKNOWN GENER OR RACE!!" She said shaking her hoof at the roof
"Yeah, I thought she might figure it out," Pumpkin whispered as she spied on her from her open door "But that just means I'll have to be twice as subtle,"
