Birthdays are special days for children. On this day of the year, big parties are held to celebrate a child getting older. That child and their friends have fun playing party games and activities with cake and presents coming afterwards.
For Brony, however, June 2nd was a day he absolutely despises. He has never had a proper birthday party in his life. In fact, his birthday was just like any other day. Up until the divorce between his parents, Brony would get a certain number of belt beatings by his father based on how old he was turning. The rest of the day was having to listen to his parents fight. In Windcrest, Brony's mom would attempt to plan a party at the local Chuck E. Cheese's but nobody would show up. Not even Chuck E. would wish him a happy birthday! Now, Brony is spending summer break with Sandbar after he and Gallus had to leave Brony's mom's Beverly Hills mansion for safety reasons. Brony hopes that now he is in Equestria, he could finally have a proper birthday. After all, today is his 16th birthday, one of his most important milestones! If there is one celebration that needs to be absolutely perfect, it's this one!
Gallus and Sandbar were up extra early so they can plan a sweet 16 celebration for Brony.
"Sandbar, get up! I wanna talk to you about something!" Gallus announced as he woke up Sandbar.
Sandbar got up to stretch, let out a yawn, and responded with "What's up?"
"Brony's birthday is today, and since he's never had a real birthday celebration, I wanna do something special for him this year" Gallus replied.
"That's nice of you. What do you have in mind?" Sandbar asked.
"Well, we were supposed to celebrate in his mom's neighborhood but it's too dangerous to do so right now"
"Yeah. I've heard that a lot was happening over there. I was really worried about you and Brony. I'm glad you two are okay and came here. Anyways, what were you planning for Brony's birthday?"
"I was thinking about holding a big party for him at our treehouse with our other friends and professors. But we have to distract him while we get everything set up. I've spent all day yesterday flying over town looking for well-known landmarks. My idea is to have Brony complete a scavenger hunt around the town and look for these landmarks"
"Great idea, Gallus! Did you get the clues set up already?"
"Sure did!"
"Did you get permission to do this?"
"Of course!"
"Good job, buddy! Now we can get Brony's party ready! Do you know what we need?"
"I've told everyone else about this party and they're all on board. Corn and Peg will be baking a cake, Yona and Silverstream will be shopping for decorations, Ocellus and Smolder will be in charge of choosing which games we play, and we are in charge of getting party snacks. I also have a special surprise I ordered from Sugarcube Corner"
"Special surprise? What is it?"
"You'll see! Can't tell you now or it won't be a surprise anymore. We also have to make sure we get him a special gift so we have to squeeze in some time to go to the mall and get a little something"
"Sounds like you got everything planned out, my dude! No time to lose! Let's go!" Sandbar said as he and Gallus went to get ready for the party.
