Starlight raced through Ponyville, in search of one pony: Pinkie Pie.
The unicorn needed a chat with the party pony, no matter the probability of not making a difference.
“Pinkie Pie?! Pinkie?! Are you here?!” Starlight called, running all over town.
“Yes, I’m here.” Pinkie replied, coming out of nowhere.
“Good. I found you,” Starlight panted as she said, before resuming, “Listen, I know that Cheese’s visit means. a lot to you, but this many big plans and preparations are completely unnecessary! And worst of all, too much demanding!”
Every creature who heard Starlight’s words turned their attention to her conversation with Pinkie, who was still ignorant of their resentful feelings towards the preparations.
“WHAT?!” Pinkie shrieked in her crazy tone, “Starlight! I thought I made it clear that a visit means a big party for party ponies!”
“I totally acknowledge that, but you obviously don’t stop to acknowledge how every creature you forced to work for you thinks. I mean, what you ordered is probably all of Equestria’s supply of that! All for a party that is not even quarter as big as Twilight’s coronation!” Starlight pointed out, trying to knock some sense back into Pinkie.
“it’s okay, we can always donate leftovers to all of Equestria after the party!” Pinkie protested.
“But do you think that Cheese will appreciate your actions?” Starlight asked in a serious tone.
“It does not matter, as long as every creature there has a good time.” Pinkie responded, shocking the crowd.
Soon, the day Cheese Sandwich would arrive came. But no creature with the exception of Pinkie Pie was happy.
“Um, why is every creature not excited about the party?” Silverstream asked her best friends.
“Isn’t it obvious? They didn’t like the way Professor Pinkie Pie got them to help her.” Smolder answered.
“Don’t tell me you forgot how it felt when former Headmare Princess Twilight made school boring for every creature.” Gallus told the hippogriff.
“Yona doesn’t like that one bit,” Yona responded to Gallus’ sentence, “And Yona won’t let any creature feel the same!” the teenaged yak attempted to march up to Pinkie and confront her, only to be stopped by Sandbar.
“Whoa, Yona, calm down.” the earth pony told his girlfriend.
“Maybe it’s too late to say anything, because he’s already here!” Ocellus told her friends, while pointing a hoof at Cheese Sandwich.
“Pinkie!” Cheese Sandwich happily called out.
“Cheese Sandwich!” Pinkie excitedly called back, before bouncing around him, telling him, “It’s been forever since you last came to Ponyville, so I decided, to throw you a BIG WELCOME PARTY!”
The Wonderbolts then appeared to put on a performance that was quite short but memorable. After the show, an unhappy Rainbow Dash regrouped with all of her best friends.
“That Wonderbolts show was merely part of your visit,” Pinkie explained to Cheese, completely oblivious to how she just insulted the performers, who jaw-dropped for a second before expressing offended looks.
“Then, that means there are other parts?” Cheese asked, as he followed Pinkie.
“Of course! Next stop is the Cheese Sandwich’s visit Appreciation Fashion Show!” Pinkie announced, leading Cheese to the theatre to watch the show. Despite how small the fillies and young creatures looked from his perspective, Cheese noticed a lack of smiles on their faces, giving him a feeling that they really did not appreciate the occasion.
But before he could utter a word about the models, Pinkie Pie interfered, “Alright! Next stop; The food!”
Upon arriving at the front of Sugar Cube Corner, Cheese could see a huge feast of mouth-watering food, but a lot of creatures with frowns and not smiles.
“Alright, Cheesy!” Pinkie told her party pony pal, before bringing the Cake Family in front of him at the speed of light. “Meet the Cakes! Mr Carrot Cake, Mrs Cupcake, and their adorable little Cake Twins; Pound and Pumpkin Cake! They live here with me, you know!”
Despite how interesting Pinkie was introducing the family, Cheese could notice a thing that Pinkie did not: the Cake Family did not look happy, neither did any creature else.
“Pinkie,” he told the said pony, “I know how much you care about your party, but do you think that every creature else feels the same?”
“What do you mean, Cheesy? They’re all happy about...” Pinkie asked, before turning to look and notice the frowns on every creature’s face.
“Why aren’t they happy? There’s no way a party can be a party without smiles,” Cheese said in a serious tone, “They obviously aren’t having a good time, what did you do?”
“Well, I...” Pinkie stuttered, a second before Discord appeared.
“What did Pinkie do?” the Lord of Chaos asked, before answering his own question, “Well, I’ll show and tell you what she’s done! She forced every creature to help her with ridiculously big crazy demands! That’s what.”
With that, Discord snapped his fingers, showing the crowd countless hologram videos of what Pinkie did during preparations, and how demanding she was towards every creature.
Having seen and learnt about the unpleasant behind-the-party actions, Cheese Sandwich’s attitude towards Pinkie dramatically changed.
“Pinkie,” he confronted, “I can’t believe I have to accept the fact that what you’ve done is what you’ve done, even though it was the one thing I strongly believed that you would never do! Unfortunately, no matter how hard I believed, it was all in vain the whole entire time, being demanding to prepare a party is NOT the party pony way! We should create smiles and entertainment at both parties, and the preparation behind them! Worst of all, you were a terrible listener! You did not listen to your own best friends when they told you something you did not like to hear. Party throwers should be listening towards any and every creature involved in the party, especially when the party was held for some creature else! And since so far, at this party, the only creature you were listening to and caring about was yourself, I can NEVER approve it, and I’m afraid that means...” he stopped for a second, before changing his dramatically serious tone into a sad tone, “I can’t approve YOU neither.”
Every creature watched Cheese sadly walking away, while Pinkie gasped in total shock.
