Endless was breathing hard. He was hiding in a apple tree at Sweet Apple Acer. He had manage to get away from Pinky Pie. He had a few minute to rest. He grab and apple and start to eat it. He look around talking another bit. Apple Bloom was running around with the crusaders. They seem to be looking for something.

“I have you now!” he spit the apple out and look up. Rainbow dash was carrying Pinky Pie. He roll out of the tree. Sending apple at Pinky and Dash. They dodge them and head for him.

“There he is girls.” Apple Bloom yell. He quickly ran. Rainbow dash drop pinky off. Pretty some. He had them all behind him. He was getting tier. He Look around trying to find a way out. The Barn. He could head in. Teleport out. Then lock them in. He turn and head for the barn.

“Get back here and face it like a colt.” Rainbow dash Yell. He rolled his eyes. It just like his 17 birthday. Beat up by filly’s. Apple Jack was working in the barn. He jump over her head. He hat flying off. He stood in the barn breathing hard.

“We got you now.” Pinky said. he step back.

“Come on Pinky. You don’t want to do this.” he said backing up. They walk in.

“I Just Want to...” he teleported before she could finish.

“Were he go.” Rainbow dash ask. They turn to a loud whistle from behind.

“Here I am.” he said closing the doors.

He ran fast. He had to think of a place Pinky would never look. He smile as he though of the best place to hid from her. She never look there.

“Ow. How did you know?” he ask turn visible and falling to the ground.

“It my Pinky scents. But where were you hiding?” She ask.

“In you shadow.” he said standing up.

“Not til you tell me. Why you don’t want to celebrate your Birthday?” she ask. He sigh.

“Ok, Ok. Just let me go.” he said.

“Promise?” she ask.

“I Promise.” he said.

“Pinky Promise.” She said. he sigh again.

“Fine. Pinky Promise.” he said. She let him go. He step back. Pinky look a him with one big eye.

“I don’t like my birthdays because. I always get hurt. Or something bad happens. I'm jinx.” he watch as Pinky Pie stood the silence. She just stair at him. She turn her head to one side then the other. She then quickly move around him. She pull a big magnifying glass out and look him over.

“Nope. I don’t see it.” she said stepping back. He stood there confuse.

“Don’t see what?” he ask.

“Your Jinx. I don’t see it.” he sigh once again. he had enough

“I Give up. Do your worst pinky.” he said smiling.

Pinky grab him and pull him away. A few minute later. They were back at sweet Apple acer. Pinky lead him to the barn.

“What are we doing back here?” he ask. Pinky giggle.

“Just follow me.” She said. He know she was going to throw him a party. But she was still acting odd. Even for her. She open the doors. There was nothing there. He walk in and look around.

“Ok Pinky Pie. What going on?” he ask facing her. She was standing just outside. She had a big smile on her face.

“Just wait. It will a make scent soon.” She said. He was confuse. A few stray of hay fell from above. He didn’t think nothing of it. It happen all the time in the barn. Pinky pointed down. Endless saw to red strips making a V. They cross at his hooves. That when it hit him. It was and X.

“Now.” Pinky said. A Large bail of hay fell down onto of him. He move around.

“Pinky! I Didn’t Really mean you worst.” He call out from under the hay. He felt something bump into him. He hear the doors close. he pop his head out. It was dark. He lit his horn. At that moment he knew why Pinky was working so hard today.

“Happy Birthday Endless Night.” Luna said. he studier as he trying to ask all the questions he had at once. Like. how she got here? Why was she dress that way? How she set this all up? And Why she hit him with hay bail? But he didn’t care.

But he was a stallion and was willing to try anything once. The Girls were waiting outside. Big mac too. They walk in. he look around the room. There was a long counter to the left of the door. A brown Unicorn with a gray silver mane. He was wearing a white shirt with a black bow tie. He was washing a mug. he saw a mason jar on his flank. He look up.

“Hello. Welcome to the O C Corner. I’m Moon Shine. Come on in. Take a seat.” He said putting the mug down. he follow the girls to a table. They all set down. A large stack of menu floated down and flew to everyone.

“Endless Can you sit here at the head of the table sweety?” Rarity ask. he did as she ask. The light turn off. Pinky Pie and Moon Shine carry a large Pink cake out. They were singing a song. They set the cake down.

“Blow out you candles and make a wish.” Celestia said. Endless could only thing of one wish he wanted. He blow out the candles. They cheer.

“What you wish for?” Twilight ask.

“I Wish my family was here.” he said.

“Wish granted” his heart skip a beat. He stood up and ran around everyone.

“No. I’m here to wish my son a Happy Birthday and give him a gift.” He said pulling a warp paper box out of nowhere. He set it on the table.

Everyone was watching White Night.

“Endless Night. How are you my son?” he said taking a step to Endless. Celestia step between the two.

“It ok.” He said pushing around Celestia. He was standing face to face with him. There was an odd silence. Every pony was ready to attack.

“Look at you. You grown so much. You have your mothers eyes.” He broke the silence. Endless smile.

“Endless. Have you met my friend Elma Corn?” He said waving her in. She walk up in a blue dress with a small blue hat.

“Elma Are you alright. Has he harm you?” Celestia broke in.

“I am fine Princess. He has not harm me. He is curing me of my curse.” She said. Bowing again. Endless was a little confuse.

“Because. Even tho we know he going to do something. He still hasn’t done anything wrong.” She said.

“That Right Ladies. I have to do something wrong. Before you get to use element of harmony on me.” He said with a smile.

“How do you know about those?” Twilight ask.

“I did my own research on each of you. Even you Endless.” He said. nodding to his son.

“Wait what? Why did you need to do that?” Endless ask.

“I said enough. You should ask Celestia why your Cutis Mark never heals. I’m shore she tell you.” he said putting his top hat and coat on. He walk to the door with Elma.

“What are you talking about? Father!” Endless yell running for him.
