I took a quick walk to twilights tree house and had a quick lunch consisting of a small bowl of pea soup and some bread, just enough to fill me up till dinner but not enough for me to be slow when I get to the doo household. I then put my bass away and got some things that I wanted to show dinky. I then waved goodbye to spike and twilight and turned to where I remember the doo house to be. I didn’t want to be late to work today so I walked a little faster than normal. I got to the doo house by 1:15 and I knocked, I heard a voice call out “who is it.” I thought it was ditzy but I didn’t know.
“The pizzacolt!” I yelled back.
I heard an exited gasp and rapid hoofsteps to the door. When dinky opened it I reached down and grabbed her in a bear hug. “Hi there you.” I spun around a little and walked inside and put her down on the couch “what’s going on?”
“But, you’re not a pizzacolt. I thought that mommy surprised me with pizza.”
“Hey, dinky, I'll order pizza when I leave, ok? Now how was your day?”
“It just got a ton better, 'cause you’re here.” She smiled up at me and I smiled back.
“So watcha wanna do first?”
“Oooooo, let’s play hide and go seek.”
“Let’s do it, I’ll stand here and count to 10, you go and hide.”
“Ok.”
She got up and I turned around and put my face to the couch and yelled “one! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Ready or not here I come!” I turned away from the couch and looked around for a yellow tail or a patch of purple fur. I didn’t see any, she was good, and I wasn’t about to let her win that easy.
I walked around saying stuff like “where is she?” and “is she… here?” I would then lift an upturned basket to find it empty or look behind a corner to see it void of life. I then moved out of the living room and started to wander the house, I looked in each room briefly, checking for the small filly that I was looking for. When I reached the upstairs bathroom I saw a small line on the floor, it didn’t look like it was supposed to be there “hmm…” I saw a small purple hoof zip out and pull the line behind the sink, I then knew she was in here, now to toy with her. “I still haven’t found her,” I walked by her hiding place looking the other way “is she in here?” I opened the toilet seat “nope. Is she in here?” I pulled the shower curtains away quickly “guess not… ah, I know where she is!” I opened the doors under the sink yelling “aha! Dang it. Where could she be?” the entire time I heard small snickers coming from dinky’s hiding place and there was a loud one this time “wait I know!” I stuck my head between the sink and the hamper and found a squealing filly “there you are!” I picked her up again and spun around some more “I found you!”
“Yes you did. Wanna play again?”
“Maybe we should play a different game.”
“Like what?”
“Like tag, let’s go outside.” I snagged a look at the clock and saw it was 1:34, I had time to play a few more games with dinky but then I had to go to work.
“I like tag; can I invite some of my friends to play?”
“I don’t see why not.”
“Ok, but we gotta go get them first.”
“Where do they live?”
“Sweetie bell lives with rarity, apple bloom lives with the apple family on the farm, and scootaloo is always off doing something exciting. We shouldn’t have trouble at all.”
“Well the apple family farm is on the other side of town, and the boutique is off to the west so where should we go first?”
“Let’s go to the apple farm and work our way back.”
“Sounds good to me.” And we set off.

After about five minutes of walking we were in the center of town, a question had popped into my head, where was ditzy? I contemplated asking her. If it turns out that she has been out all day we might run into her and she would knock my block off, but if she was home then why didn’t I see her? “Hey dink.”
“Yeah?”
“Where’s your mom?”
“She was out shopping when you arrived. She said she would be back at 1:45.” ‘shit!’
“Maybe we should be getting back, we don’t want her to get home and not find you. We wouldn’t want to worry her, now would we?”
“I guess you’re right. But we never got to play tag.”
“We can play tag next time, ok? But for now we should be getting back.”
“ok.” She looked disappointed.
“Hey, maybe I could buy you an ice-cream or a cupcake. Would you like that?”
She perked up right away “yes please.”
“Where do you want to go?”
“Sugarcube corner is always a great place to get treats. Let’s go there.”
“Ok, lead the way.” She started to walk towards a big gingerbread house.
I knew that this world was supposed to be full of rainbows and ponies but really, Gingerbread house? Seriously. We walked into the store and a bell rang. A pink blur shot around the corner and behind the desk.
“Hello and welcome to sugarcube corner!” I knew this voice from a few days ago: Pinky pie.
“Hey pinky.”
She gasped deeply “butyourpartyisntready whotoldyoutocomehere istillneedtohangthestreamersandmakethecakeandmailtheinvitationsand-”
“Pinky!”
“Yeah?”
“We’re just here for a cupcake, go pick one out dinky.”
“ok.” She trotted happily over to the counter and looked at the shelves of cupcakes, muffins, and candy bars.
While she did this I walked up to pinky pie and asked “pinky do you mind if I trade this cupcake for the party? I don’t have any money as of now and I really need to make up for what happened today.”
“Sure buddy, but I’ll need to throw you a party for something. It would haunt me for the rest of my life if I didn’t.”
I thought about this, I didn’t want a pink mare breathing down my neck about parties for the rest of my natural life “well my birthday was just a few days ago.”
“Yay, I’ll throw you a birthday party. And this cupcake is on the house.” She winked at me.
“Thanks pinky, I’ll pay you back somehow.”
“You can pay me back by letting me throw you a party.”
“Sure, pinky. I’ll do that.” And we left with the cupcake.
