Chapter 5

"Do you know what this calls for?"Pinkie asked to all of us.

"A party, "I answered her.

"Ooo, you are good, "said Pinkie, and with that she disappeared in a pink blur heading towards Ponyville.

"Ok, I know Pinkie can be random sometimes, but does she eat four bags of sugar to get that hyper? "I asked to the other ponies.

They all shrugged and Twilight said, "we don't know, we all gave up trying to figure her out."

Rainbow Dash added, "Pinkie is so…"

"Random, "I said quickly finishing her sentence.

Dash looked at me and said, "ok new rule, don't do that or I'll put you on the ground…"

"In ten seconds flat, "I said grinning, as I did it again.

"Ok that's it, "said Dash as she flew at me to tackle me.

I dodged her tackle, but was quickly tackle from the behind. I was flipped up and pinned to the ground with Rainbow on top of me.

"Ha, ten seconds flat, "she said playfully as she got up off of me, "now let's get something to eat, I'm hungry.

Right at that moment my stomach let out a growl at that word, "I guess I'm hungry too, "Everypony started to laugh at that.

"Yes let's shall, all this excitement simple made me famish, "said Rarity.

"Me too, I haven't had anything to eat since brunch, "agreed Applejack.

"Um… me too… "Fluttershy weakly said.

"Then let's all go to Sugarcube Corner, "said Twilight.

We all agreed and headed towards the sweet shop.

After a half an hour we finally made it to Ponyville. As we made our way to the sweet shop, I noticed that there weren't a lot of ponies out.

"Ok I know it is almost getting dark, but shouldn't there be more ponies out? "I asked Twilight.

Twilight replied, "I don't know where everypony is right now, let's just get to Sugarcube Corner."

As we neared to the sweet shop I noticed that it has all the lights off.

Dash said, "Hum, maybe the Cakes blow a fuse, "as she saw that it was dark.

I looked back at the shop and noticed that there was a candle in the window.

As I was walking up to the door and opening, "I guess we are eating by candle light."

As I walked in dark a thought came to mind, wait a minute, Pinkie is the pony of parties, I thought as the lights came on and everypony saying, "SURPRISE."

Everypony got quite when they saw, and the whispering started.

"What is it?"

"Where did it come from?"

"Is it dangerous?"

"Does it like muffins?"

I smiled at that last question knowing which pony that asked that.

"Its ok everypony, your Princesses are ok with me, and I'm harmless."

Everypony relaxed when I mentioned their rulers and was immediately surround by ponies and questions.

I tried to answer them all, but was starting to feel really crowded.

"Ok everypony, just go back and enjoy the party, "said Twilight as she stepped in.

"I guess they are more open to strangers now that they all meet Zecora."

Twilight look at me, surprised when I mention the zebra's name.

"Remember, I know almost everypony here in Ponyville. "

At that moment Pinkie bounced up to us and said, "This is a party for you, do you like? Do you like? Huh? Huh?"

I put up my hand and said, "yes Pinkie I like it, and this is amazing that you put this all together in half an hour, how did you pull this off quickly?"

She smiled and ran into the kitchen, and felt a poke in my back a few seconds later.

I turned around and jumped into the air from fright, for behind me was Pinkie balancing a piece of cake and a fork on a plate.

"Holy moly, warn me next time when you are doing to do that, "I said as I tried to calm my speeding heart.

"Okie dokie lokie, "she said as she handed (or is the term hoofed) the cake to me, and bounced in the crowd.

I looked at Twilight, who was trying not to laugh.

How in Equestria did she do that, you know what Pinkie is just being Pinkie, I thought to myself as I picked up the fork and forked a piece of cake into my mouth.

"Holy crap, this... is… the... best… cake... I… ever… had… "I said slowly as the flavors assaulted my mouth.

Around midnight, everypony started until the remaining being at the party were the mane six and me.

"So where do I crash while I am here in Ponyville, "I asked them.

"We all agreed that you should stay with Applejack at the farm, is that ok with you? "Twilight asked as I neared her.

"That will be great. I can help around the farm, while I stay there."

"Well shoot that is mighty kind you partner, we do need my working hoof or in your case hands on the farm, with Caramel being sick and all, "said Applejack.

We all said goodbyes and left the store heading home to sleep.

As we got to Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack but up a foreleg stopping me and said, "maybe you should sleep in the barn tonight, I don't know what will happened if my family finds you in the house."

I nodded at her logic, she continues, "I will get you a pillow and some blankets."

She went into the house, after a few minutes she came back out with the items on her back.

I took the pillow and blankets from her and said thanks, I entered the barn and found a haystack to sleep on.

I quickly made where I was going to sleep and lay down on it, and fell asleep in a few seconds.

I woke up to the sound of whispering in the morning.

I sat up and the whispering ceased. I waited for a few seconds and said, "anypony there."

There was no answer, I got up from my haystack and walked towards the door.

As I was halfway to the door I stepped on a small pile of hay, I heard something released, and felt my legs getting pulled from underneath me.

"APPLEJACK, "I screamed out as I once again yanked into the air.

"YA, WE CAUGHT THE MONSTER AGAIN, "yelled the CMC as jumped out another haystack.

"Not again, why did you do this? "I asked them.

Scootaloo said, "We don't know how you got away from Twilight and her friends, but this time you are not going anywhere."

"Oh come on, how come I was able to avoid the princesses' guards, but I get caught by you three, twice."

Sweetie Bell looked at me shocked, "you got away from the royal guard."

"Well yes, but now everything is alright, now will please let me down?"

Apple Bloom look at me and said, "how can we be sure that you won't us or anypony."

Sigh, "cross my heart

Hope to fly

Stick a cupcake in my ey-ow, "I said as I pretended to poke my eye with my finger, "eye, "finishing the swear.

The three fillies gasp at that and Apple Bloom said, "It knows the Pinkie Swear."

"Ok let's get this straight, my name is J.C. and I am a he, not an it alright."

They nodded, at that moment Applejack ran straight in saying, "what in tarnation is going on? I heard screaming."

She stopped when she say me hanging in the air and said giggling, "heh heh, how's it hanging."

"Ha ha very funny now will please get me down from here, I'm getting dizzy."

"Alright partner, we will get you down from there, "Applejack said as she pushed a haystack underneath me.

"We will get you down, "said the CMC, they ran off deeper into the barn.

I heard something sharp being drawn and felt the rope being cut, and then with a snap the rope was cut loose and I fell in the haystack.
