In the Pie House, Igneous Rock Pie shows a rainbow statue to his wife, Cloudy Quartz, and his daughters, Pinkie, Limestone, and Marble. 
"Behold, my family." The father said, "a grand present for Maud's birthday."
"That's a wild looking sculpture you and mom made, dad." Pinkie chirped.
"And, as you can tell, Pinkie," Limestone informed. "each color is a different jewel. Red ruby, orange quartz, yellow topaz, green emerald, blue sapphire, indigo obsidian, and purple amethyst."
"That makes it even more sparkly."
"That's one way of looking at it, sis."
Cloudy Quartz hands the statue to Pinkie. "Pinkie, would you please store this in the tool shed?"
Pinkie nods and heads to the backyard. Limestone was a little unsure about Pinkie storing this gift. Outside, Pinkie stands outside the shed as Fluttershy, who was visiting, looks inside. She speaks inside the shed. "Keep it safe."
Fluttershy closes the shed as Limestone arrives.
"Are you sure mom and dad can trust you with that statue, Pinkie?" Limestone wondered. "And, how will your friend, Fluttershy help?"
"Fluttershy has a big surprise set up in case somebody tries to steal it." Pinkie explained.
"Big surprise? What kind?"
"Let's go back inide and decorate for Maud's birthday party." Fluttershy answered. "I'll explain along the way."
As the three girls back in the house, the crafty zombie, Moanica D' Kay, slips into the backyard, and looks at the shed.
That rainbow statue Igneous Rock Pie and his wife, Cloudy Quartz, made is in that tool shed. He made if for Maud for a birthday present. Moanica thought. All I have to do is sneak that statue out of that shed, and plant it at Sweet Apple Acres. There's going to be such an argument between the Pies and the Apples, Applejack and Pinkie Pie won't want to speak to each other anymore.
The nasty zombie cackled wickedly as she opens the shed, Suddenly, a bunch of bees came out of a hive hanging from a ceiling. Moanica was shocked. "Holy frijoles! Bees!"
The bees started to swarm around Moanica. Later, the four Pie Sisters enjoy each other's company at a burger place.
"I would like to thank you all for a satisfactory blrthday." Maud said in her usual monotone manner. "I may not show it, but I'm very grateful for it."
"Did you like the statue mom and dad made for you?" Limestone asked.
"I did. I appreciate the different gemstones used to make a perfect rainbow."
"We figured you would like it." Marble said softly.
Maud had another thought. "Pinkie, I understand that Moanica D' Kay tried to steal the statue."
"She tried." Pinkie replied. "But, thanks to that beehive Fluttershy brought, that vicious zombie blew it."
Everyone cheered to celebrate Maud's birthday. Back at the Pie house, Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz treat the many bee stings Moanica suffered from.
"I hope you learned a valuable lesson from this ordeal, Miss Moanica." Igneous Rock stated, "Crime does not pay!"
"I never expected anybody to booby trap that shed with a swarm of bees!" Moanica hissed as she still felt all of those stings.
"Believe us." Cloudy Quartz said as she rubs calamine lotion on Moanica's wounds. "This was one sting operation nobody counted on."
The father and mother had a good laugh as Moanica got disgusted. "Very Funny!"
