"SPIKE! Where did you PUT IT?" shouted Twilight from upstairs. Spike blushed, knowing that he misplaced the inflatable balloon and the fact that the other ponies were waiting outside. He rushed to the front door and opened it, "Um...is it okay if you ponies help me find a purple...balloon?" The siblings and other ponies nodded, sighing at Spike's clumsiness.
Suddenly, as Pinkie Pie was looking through some blueberry bushes, she noticed a crimson purple square thing. She used her mouth to untangle it from the thorns, and managed to tug it out of the bushes. She dropped it and examined it closely. Pinkie Pie noticed a little hole closure. She stuck her eye closer to the hole to examine it more. 'Is this some sort of hole that you blow into so air goes into it?' she asked herself. 'Oh well! Let's give it a try!' Pinkie Pie took the purple square thing and wrapped her mouth around the hole. On the count of three, she took a deep breath and blew into the hole as much as she could. The purple thing started to expand, and after about three or five blows Pinkie managed to blow the purple thing into a giant hot air balloon! 'Ah, THIS is what Spike and Twilight were talking about! I thought they were talking about some sort of cupcake!' Pinkie Pie chuckled inside, but then suddenly realized, she wasn't on the ground! Instead she was hanging on the side of the purple balloon, where the hole was. 'I better call for help!' she thought to herself, 'But how? If I let go of this hole the whole balloon would go PLOMP! because the air would go out! And then I have to start all over and that took me AGES to do!' Pinkie decided to wait until a pony notices her, so she ends up taking a small nap. ZZZZZ.....
Meanwhile, the twins were still searching for the supposedly misplaced balloon. They were singing another song, this time not relevant to what they're doing:
"A bit of chocolate is what I need, some pancakes and sweets to join the feed! A strawberry cupcake sounds so DELISH, but yet it tastes like a rotten fish!"
"Hey, sis, do you know where Pinkie is? I mean, I haven't seen her! Usually she would be breaking the fourth wall by now!" mentioned Lemon Glacier.
"Fourth wall? What's that?" questioned Fiery Rose, who just finished searching through a small tall patch of grass.
Lemon Glacier sighed, "Never mind, sis. Anyways, have you SEEN Pinkie Pie?"
Fiery Rose shook her head, "Nope. Not after Spike told us to search for balloon!"
Lemon Glacier look worried, "Well, shouldn't we go check on her? Just so, you know, she's okay? I mean, she IS our best friend!"
"Good point, Lemon! Let's go find Pinkie!"
The two twins search for their friend, from inside the tree-house to the corners of Sugarcube Corner, but there was still no sign of Pinkie Pie.
"Where could she be?" asked Lemon Glacier, looking disappointed.
"Uh, sis, the color of the balloon was purple, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I think I found Pinkie...with the balloon." Fiery Rose pointed at a distant purple balloon with a small pink pony stuck to the side of it. The twins ran to the balloon, only to find Pinkie snoring freakishly loud, her mouth stuck to the side of the balloon.
"Pinkie? PINKIE?" shouted Fiery Rose, bouncing up and down. Pinkie continued to snore, possibly not hearing the neon red pony call her name.
"Here, let me try!" Lemon Glacier pointed her horn to Pinkie, closed her eyes and started to chant a short poem:
"From day to night the angel light shines, a beauty in which the heart aligns, levitate this object high into the air, an attempt which shall not despair!"
A faint gold light started to glow around Lemon Glacier's horn, and suddenly the glowing light expanded and shot out from her horn and onto Pinkie, who started to open eyes. Pinkie noticed the golden light around, and began to wave her hooves around. "STAHP! STAHP!" Pinkie mumbled loudly. Lemon Glacier ignored Pinkie, and continued. She began to slowly levitate Pinkie from the balloon, who's mouth still stood stuck on the balloon. Lemon Glacier tugged carefully to let Pinkie know that she wants her to let go. Pinkie stopped waving her hooves, and unstuck her mouth. Lemon Glacier carefully pulls down Pinkie, who had her hooves folded. After a few seconds, Pinkie landed safely on the ground, the golden glow vanishing from her sight. Pinkie Pie stared at Lemon Glacier, who opened her eyes.
"What did you do THAT for?"
Lemon Glacier smiled, "Pinkie, why were you up there?"
Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes, "Can't you see? I was TRYING to hold the air inside the balloon so the balloon won't go PLOMP! But then YOU ponies came along and ruined my plan! Now look what you did! The balloon went all PLOMP!, didn't it?"
Lemon Glacier and Fiery Rose start to burst out laughing, making the semi-angry pink pony confused.
"What are you guys laughing at? My hard work isn't something to laugh at!"
Fiery Rose began to calm down, "Oh, PINKIE! Just look behind you!"
Pinkie Pie turned around, and her jaw dropped. The balloon was still in its inflated position. "Bu...but....how?"
Lemon Glacier giggled, "This inflatable hot air balloon, Pinkie, is not your ordinary balloon! Once blown, the air hole closes by itself so the air would stay in! I'm guessing Twilight got it when she was in her magic school! I got one too, and so did Fiery Rose and every other unicorn in Equestria!" Pinkie Pie blinked rapidly, starstruck. After a few moments of awkward silence, Pinkie turned around to face the grinning twins, "Hehe...strange balloon!" and the three ponies started to laugh at Pinkie's silliness.
"Hey look! There they are!" a faint call came from the far end. It was Applejack's call, followed by the twins's siblings and their friends (and Spike).
"And I thought we were searching for cupcakes!" yelled Pinkie Pie, and the three started to chuckle heavily.
"Where have ya been, y'all? We've been worried sick bout ya!" said Applejack.
"Lemon! Rose! I thought you guys were missing!" muttered a worried Absolute Zero.
'Yup! Pinkie broke the fourth wall, once again!' thought Lemon Glacier to herself, laughing.
