"Mikey. Mikey, wake up. Come on, wake up." Pinkie's low whispering brought Michael away from dreamland and back into reality. He rubbed his eyes before sitting up, confused at the sight before him. Next to his bed were candles, Gummy with a bowtie, and two plates seated in front of him and Pinkie with a few others resting near Gummy.
Michael sat up completely upon seeing everything. He looked up to meet Pinkie’s gaze, the latter giving a huge grin.
"What's this about?" Michael asks.
"It's your welcome to Ponyville party." Pinkie answered, her smile never faltering.
"Oh. Thought it would've been bigger considering what I've been told about your previous parties."
"Yeah, well, this one's a special party."
"What makes it so special?" Pinkie only continued to smile. Michael raised a brow. He looked over Pinkie for any obvious hints as to what she had planned. Her mane was put in a ponytail. A few strands fell to her face, but she made no attempts to brush them to the side. The way she looked at him was also different, but not something Michael wasn't used to. Her half lidded eyes stared back at him with that smile still as strong as ever. That's when it hit him.
"Oh." Michael said. "Wow. Honestly I had my suspicions, but I didn't know if…why—"
"Don't do that. There's nothing about you that would make me think twice. Don't be afraid to let this happen."
"...Are you sure?"
"Yes. Do you feel the same way?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Do you want this?" Pinkie asks.
"Yeah. I really do." Michael answers with a smile. Pinkie shares his smile before getting up to sit closer to him. She leans against him, smiling up at him. The movement of the plates grabs their attention. Looking over they see Gummy pushing a plate with a slice of cake and a candle sticking out of it. Gummy looked up at the two of them with a look on his face that Michael’s never seen before.
"Is he smiling at us?"
"I'd like to think so." Pinkie says motioning for Gummy to get closer. He does so, hopping in between the two ponies, contempt with his position.
"Guess he's been waiting for this to happen."
"Him and I both." Pinkie said before planting a kiss on Gummy's head. Michael lifted the plate and held it to Pinkie.
"Guess we skip straight to dessert?"
"You read my mind." Pinkie says giggling. The three sat together, eating much of the dessert Pinkie had prepared for this occasion. Sleep would overtake them eventually and the three would drift off in Pinkie's bed, Michael holding her close to his chest with a smile as his dreams were filled with happier thoughts. He finally had his happiest day.
