A Few Fruit Short of a Salad

Fruit Party

That night, almost all of Ponyville came to Sugarcube Corner, not hesitating on attending a Pinkie Party. Their only surprise was who the party was for: Fruit Cake, a mare that much resembled Pinkie in personality. The party was outside Sugarcube Corner, because of Pound and Pumpkin, but that didn't stop the party from being as loud as it could be. DJ Pon-3 showed up at Pinkie's request, and then things really got going.

"WHOOOOOOOOOW-HOOOOOOOOOW!!"

Fruit was head-banging to the bass Vinyl kept dropping.

"Pinkie," Fruit said coming over to her, "you really know how to throw a party! OW!" Fruit then jumped on the stage, and shoved several records towards Vinyl, "Spin dat slag! OW!"

DJ-Pon-3 took and ran with , funky music blaring out of the speakers, herself rockin' to the beats.

"YEEEEAAAAAH!!!"

Fruit then jumped off the stage and fell face first into the ground.

"You okay?" Pinkie asked.

Fruit got on her hooves, albeit stumbling, "Yeah," she muttered, her eyes derping, "Perficly fiin..." She shook herself together. "See? Nothin' to it! WHOOOOOOOOOW!!" Fruit then ran off to go dance.

Pinkie smiled watched her newest friend dance like nopony's ever danced before.

"Hello, Pinkie!" Mrs. Cake shouted to get Pinkie's attention due to the loud music, "How's Fruit?"

"She's doing just fine, Mrs. Cake!"

"Okay then, just don't get her too wound up." Mrs. Cake then walked back into Sugarcube Corner, covering her ears from the horror that was modern music.

Pinkie went over to Fruit, who was dancing in a strange way, standing on her back hooves and hopping about. Her front hooves extended in front of her and alternating her back hooves as she hopped.

"Check it, Pinkie! My sick moves! OW!"

A new song started to play.

"Oh, oh, oh! This is my song!" Fruit ran off to go dance some more; Pinkie ran after her. The two danced like crazy to the crazy song.

"This is a fun song!" Pinkie shouted to Fruit.

"Yeah! It's one of my faves! Check this move!" Fruit got up on her front hooves, and danced on them with little effort. She then jump up and did a spin, landing perfectly back down.

"Wow, Fruit! You're a wonderful dancer!" Pinkie awestruck.

"Thanks! I was actually banned from dance competitions because of how good I am! Well, that, and the fact I accidentally injured one of the judges, hehe!" Fruit's stomach growled, "Man, I'm hungry! I'm gonna get something to eat!" Fruit raced over to the snack table.

She couldn't believe her eyes; there were so many apple foods! Fruit drooled as she gazed at their magnificence.

"Well, howdy there!"

Fruit turned around; it was an orange earth pony mare wearing a cowboy hat.

"I reckon you're the pony Pinkie's havin' this party fer, Fruit Cake, ain't it?"

Fruit was too busy staring at all the food to say anything, so she just nodded.

"Heh, thought so! Name's Applejack! I run Sweet Apple Acres here in Ponyville. What 'bout y'all?"

Fruit, still engrossed by the food, didn't respond.

Applejack laughed, "I'll stop talkin' so y'all kin eat, enjoy!"

Fruit made no hesitation; she jumped straight in and started devouring all sorts of apple treats, each one better than the last.

"I take it ya'll like 'em," AJ chucked.

"SO GOOD!" Fruit kept on shoving cascade of applely goodness in her mouth.

"Uhh, maybe ya'll want to take it easy...?"

Fruit shook her head, then swallowed the fritter in her mouth, "But's sooooooo gooooood!"

"Yeah, but there're others here to ya know."

"Fine...," Fruit sighed, "I'll just take these and go," grabbing three apple pies and running off.

Applejack sighed; Fruit had demolished the snack table. Pinkie walked over, "Hi, Applejack, whoa, what happened?"

"Yer friend Fruit Cake did," AJ sighed.

"Well, she must really like apples! Well, c'ya AJ!" Pinkie bounced off to find Fruit, leaving Applejack to tend to the mess.

"Hey, you seen Fruit? Fruit? Have you seen her? Fruit Cake?" Pinkie asked ponies as she looked for Fruit.

"URRRRRUUUUUUPPPP!!!!

Pinkie follow the sound of the huge belch, and low and behold, was the belch-er. Fruit sat on the ground with pie tins on her chest.

"Heh, 'scuse me. Sup Pinkie!?"

"Did you eat all the snacks?"

"Yeah, I kinda got carried away, but they were delicious! Out of my way, Pinkie! I'm gonna hit the dance floor! BOW!"

Fruit raced onto the dance floor and started busting all kinds of sick dance moves, but the apple pies disagreed with her...
