Another Summer with the Enchantimals

17. Flipping Out with Kamilla Kangaroo

In her backyard, Pinkie Pie had some music playing on her tablet PC. Wearing a crimson long sleeve leotard, she danced around, and performed a few amazing front flips. After she finished a triple somersault, she was praised by Photo Finish, who was taking pictures.
"Well done, Miss Pinkie." Photo praised. "Those flips are exquisite."
"Thanks, Photo." Pinkie replied while taking a few sips of water. "With Magenta Whisp's birthday coming up, I need a bit of inspiration to prepare a good party."
"Being energetic yourself, this gymnastics thing comes a little natural for you."
"I guess you're right."
Suddenly, a young lady flipped over the fence. She had light tan skin, light brown hair in pigtails, and wore a flowery top, multi colored skirt, and pink shoes. Her noticeable features are two ears sticking up and a long tail.
"I like those moves, Pinkie Pie." The girl said happily. "I've been watching through a window in your house."
Pinkie Pie soon recognized the visitor. "Wowee! Kamilla Kangaroo!"
"Kamilla Kangaroo?" Photo gasped. "From the Sunny Savanna?"
"That's her, Photo."
Kamilla walked over to the shocked photographer. "So, you're Photo Finish. I heard about you from Cameo Crab when I visited Wishing Waters a few months ago."
"That was from last summer. I forgot about that day."
Soon, Kamilla walked over to the party girl. "So, what's this I hear about you getting inspiration for a birthday party?"
"That's right." Pinkie replied. "Magenta Whisp's birthday is coming. And recently, her mother got her into gymnastics."
"That's why you're doing a little gymnastics yourself. To get yourself prepared to plan this party."
"You bet."
Pinkie’s mother, Cloudy Quartz, comes into the backyard with three small
kangaroos by her side.
"Miss Kangaroo." Clouday said. " are these little joeys your besties?"
"Yes, they are." Kamilla replied. "Did they cause any trouble with their bouncing?"
"Not at all. Satchel, Joey, and Tote are well behaved. Marble was watching over them."
The three besties hopped over to Kamilla. Pinkie couldn't help but smile. Two days later, Magenta Whisp's birthday party was underway. Her backyard was decorated with gold, silver, and bronze medal props, rainbow streamers, and various mats lining the ground for gymnasts to use. Wearing her blue leotard, Magenta Whisp finished her floor routine. Everybody cheered. Even Comet Burst, her rival turned friend was impressed.
"Great routine, Magenta." Comet praised.
"Thanks." Magenta replied as she grabbed a bottle of water from a cooler. "Pinkie sure knows how to plan a party."
"I heard that she had some help from Kamilla Kangaroo and her bestie trio."
"Oh. Joey, Satchel, and Tote. They were so cute."
Looking from another table, Pinkie and Kamilla watched with happiness while Kamilla's besties hop with joy.
