As the three colts make their way to Cloudsdale Neutral tried some tricks while flying. He manages to do several barrel rolls before getting dizzy. They soon reached a collapsed bridge over a running river leading to Cloudsdale.
"Well looks like we'll need to go through Ponyville. There's no way we can cross it," Lock Mace said in disappointment.
Even though Neutral didn't like the idea of going through Ponyville without crossing the ponies who knew him; but he needed the job and didn't want to lose it.
At last they made it to Ponyville and Neutral decided to stay grounded until they left the town. However Fore Word wanted a small snack; they stopped the wagon and unhooked themselves from it and went to an apple stand. Neutral hid behind the wagon where he couldn't be seen easily.
"Hi snoopy!" A loud cheery voice announced behind him. He was startled and his wings also lifted in fright. He turned around and a pink furred skin pony stared at him with her light blue eyes. He could've sworn her bright pink curly mane and tail had curls in the curls. Her cutie mark had three balloons. "I'm sure I don't remember a pony like you," she said talking like the world was going to blow up any minute. She begins to bounce up and down nonstop, "Oh I know, I should throw you a party with cake, ice-cream, punch, streamers, and cake. Wait did I say cake, nope I didn't and cake!" She was now in her own little world spouting every single detail in a party. Neutral joined the other two at the apple stand.
"How much is an apple?" Neutral asked the orange pony. She wore a cowboy hat and had her blonde mane and tail tied up in a pony tail. She had freckles on her face; her eyes were green and her cutie mark was more apples.
She answered that question with a farmer accent, "One bit good sir," she said. Neutral took out a coin well known as a bit from working and put it on the table. "Much appreciated partner," she said kindly.
He picked up the apple and headed over to the wagon and took a bite out of it, it tasted better than any sugary snack he ever had and practically ate it whole. He could still hear the pink pony name off a dozen more party stuff before she realized he was on the other side of the wagon. "Would you like that huh huh huh?" She asked like he heard all that stuff. "What's your name?" She asked again.
"Why?" He questioned her.
"Well how else will I write your name down on the banner?" She explained.
Neutral put a hoof on his face, "Listen I hate parties. Especially if it's for me," he explained.
The pink pony was in major shock, "You hate parties? Well I think Pinkie Pie can fix this party hating messed up noggin of yours just you wait. Stop by Ponyville when you get the chance, bye!" She said all in one breath and bounced off.
"What did she mean," Neutral said to himself.
Fore Word came next to Neutral, "She's defiantly a party pony, looks like we're gonna have plans tonight," said smiling.
Neutral was worried but can only agree out of fear, "Yeah sure." They soon walked off to Cloudsdale to deliver the package.
Back where Rainbow Dash was left off. A pink mane pony with vanilla fur skin walked upstairs to her room carrying a bowl of soup. Her eyes were a blue green color and her cutie mark was butterflies. "Rainbow Dash I brought you soup," she asked in an innocent voice. Rainbow Dash looking out the window with her head on the bottom of her window. It looks like she's been crying for hours and hasn't gotten any sleep. Her mane was a mess and her wings were still weak to lift.
"Fluttershy. Thanks," Rainbow Dash replied.
Fluttershy set the bowl down and went next to her, "Please Rainbow. I hate to see you like this," she said worried.
Rainbow Dash just turned her head away from her. A sudden knock was heard from outside; Fluttershy went to check it out but her room door slammed open revealing Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy shrieked in fear. "Why didn't you wait?" She said still catching her breath.
Pinkie Pie began to bounce, "I couldn't wait because this one pony said he hated parties but I told him I will throw him something even more wonderful and exciting. I need your help Fluttershy," she said in one breath.
"Why do you need my help?" She asked.
Pinkie stopped bouncing and gave a wide smile, "We're throwing him super duper surprise party and need everyponies help to do it!" She said yelling.
Rainbow Dash finally turns around and asks, "Who is it?"
Pinkie thought for a moment and said, "Well he had no cutie mark, he's was grey, and sounded a bit down, oh and his mane looked like Zecora's only wavier," she said.
Rainbow Dash attitude change, "Wait Neutral is here!" She said in concern.
"Just come to the party and find out Dashie," Pinkie Pie said.
