Haybales woke up with a dry mouth, dirty hair and a sore stomach. After jumping in the tub to wash her fur, she made a breakfast of pancakes and haybacon for Fluttershy and herself. Fluttershy had already began to plan the whole day's activities, and was very excited for Haybales to meet all of her friends. She started to talk about them. "Theres Applejack, you met her last night, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbowdash, she won Equestria's Best Young Flyer Competition, and Pinkie Pie, oh, here she is now!" At this point, Pinkie Pie decided to make an entrance by popping out of a hole in the ground, as is natural for Pinkie Pie. "Oh hello there! *gasp* Are you new to Ponyville? You must be because I know everypony in Ponyville and I've never seen you before! Do you know Fluttershy? You two look similar! *GASP* ARE YOU TWO SISTERS?!?!? Fluttershy, you never told me you had a sister! Either way, I'm going to throw a party for you! A 'Welcome to Ponyville' party! And a 'Congratulations on having a Sister' party for Fluttershy! oh dear, is there enough time for two parties? If I hurry there is! Good bye!!!!" And with that the bouncing pink pony disapeared before Haybales could tell her her name or even make any motion to greet her. She looked to Fluttershy and then immediately started rolling on the ground laughing, getting her cleaned coat dirty again. After the laughing fit was over, they continued their walk. 'Fluttershy," inquired Haybales, "You said you had five friends, you've mentioned four. whos the fifth?" Fluttershy cocked her head and looked at haybales. "I thought you already knew Rarity. We met her last night, remember?" Haybales thought back to the night previous and remmbered crashing into a pony on the way back from the apple farm. "Well, maybe we should go apologize for bumping into her the other night."
Rarity woke up fashionably late to hear a loud knocking on her front door. "We are currently closed!" she yelled from her bed. More knocking ensues. " I said that we are closed!" she yelled again, this time with a hint of annoyance in her voice. *knock knock knock* Rarity ran down the stairs, ripped open the door and screamed, "WHAT!?!?!?" She then saw Fluttershy standing there, preparing to knock. Rarity apologized profusely before recognizing the pink pegasus standing behind her. "Oh. And you brought your," *cue look of disdain* "Friend..." Fluttershy introduced the mares and smiled, thinking she had made a set of new friends. They decided to look at all the dresses while they were there and while Rarity got ready to accept guests. Haybales looked at a few dresses, but didnt find anything to her tastes. "Doesn't she make anything good?" A rather loud throat clearing came from the top of the staircase, indicating that Rarity had heard her comment. She obviously chose to ignore her, and only acknowledged her when Fluttershy made them shake hooves. They left shortly after and went to Cloudsdale to visit this "Rainbow Dash" pony, apparently Fluttershy's best friend. They walked most of the way there and did as little flying as they could, because Haybales knew about Fluttershy's bad flying. so then they met Rainbow Dash and learnt how to make rainbows. Fluttershy had heard this speech hundreds of times, and so had Haybales, but 'Shy never seemed to get tired of hearing it. And after a long day in Cloudsdale, they returned home to the cottage.
And immediately recieved a full on party cannon to the face. Pinkie Pie had turned the cabin into an absolute war zone. There were streamers, balloons, confetti and ponies all over the cabin. It looked as if all of Ponyville turned up for this party. "Pinkie has really outdone herself this time", whispered Fluttershy. Haybales couldnt hear over the dubtrot the DJ was playing, and was scanning the crowd for familliar faces. The pair walked through the foyer into the den, where they saw two banners hanging from the ceiling. "Welcome to Ponyville ________", read Haybales. she laughed, remembering how they had met the crazy pony. "Congrats on Finding Your Long Lost Sister" murmured Fluttershy. She giggled and politely stepped aside as a gang of stallions walked over to read the banners. Haybales decided to get some punch or sometinhg from the kitchen, while Fluttershy hid in an upstairs closet. Haybales walked among the dancing ponies in search of a certain big red stallion. 'He has to be here,' she thought. 'This Pinkie Pie pony invited the whole town, why exclude one pony?' She finally saw him, and started walking calmly towards him. He was drinking cider with a group of stallions, she could almost smell the cider- "HOW DO YOU LIKE THE PARTY?!?! FUN HUH? HUH? HUH!?!?" A certain pink party pony popped up in front of her and scared the Be-Luna out of her. "Pinkie! What the hay is-" "BUT DO YOU LIKE THE PARTY!?!?!?" demanded Pinkie. "Umm ya its great, I guess." Pinkie's afro immediately deflated with the sound of air being let out of a balloon. "You dont like it..." she sighed. "No no no!!!" Haybales gasped quickly, "I love it, its just i dont know that much about parties. You're the expert here! " Pinkies mane puffed up with an audible pop and she bounced away happily. Haybales blew into her forelock and looked back at Big Mac, who was talking to that Rarity filly. "I need more punch for this." groaned Haybales, and returned to the kitchen in search of some sort of pony equivalent of booze.
