Another day came. The sun was shining really bright and one of it's rays went through one of the town's library windows and was caught in one of a peacefully sleeping pegasus' eyes.

"*Yawn*..."Fluttershy rubbed her eyes to see all of the sleeping bags around her empty.
"Oh great" she thought as she scratched her pink mane "Now how am i going to help?"
She suddenly heard the door of the room assigned to the colts being opened.
"Hello? O, Good morning Fluttershy" said a voice.

She turned around to see her colt self smiling at her.
"Oh, umm good morning Butterscotch. Do you know where the girls are?" Fluttershy walked closer to him
"I was going to ask you if you new where the colts are." The yellow pegasus went over to the library's 'Animal section' and grabbed a book "They're probably planning the party. In the meantime, let's read some books. I'm sure Twilight wouldn't mind"

"Actually, I asked Twilight last night if we could use her bathroom and she said yes" She then grabbed two towels from her bag and threw one at Butterscotch then giggled.
"Hey! Alright, you go first" He then continued reading.

"Piiiiiinkieeeeeee/Bubleeeee" Two lavander unicorns watched as two pink ponies chewed off a newly baked vanilla pie.
"What?" They both replied as they opened their mouths to take a big bite of the pink and yellow frosted Apple cake.
"Oh no you don't" Dusk said. With unison the hungry ponies were levitated from the snack table and into the ground.
"Good thing you only ate one pie" Twilight wiped her hoof in her eyebrows
"But we're so huuuuungryyyyy" Pinkie whined as she stomped both of her hooves.
"Don't worry, Dash is gonna be here soon with the---"
"FOOD!!!" Twilight was cut off when Pinkie and Bubble almost bumped her and ran to Dash. 
"Wow you two sure are hungry" The rainbow pegasus then reached into a paper bag that she was carrying and grabbed ten cupcakes and threw them up in the air. And like dolphin feeding, the two party ponies jumped in unison. Pinkie swallowed the five, and Bubble swallowed the other five.
"I am full!" Bubble Berry lied down on the floor.
"Now now, we are not  here to eat" Twilight said
"Were here to plan a party" Dusk glared at the two ponies lying on the ground.

The two then stood up and began giving everyone some snacks to start in the day. Then they hung streamers. They were preparing the party in an abandoned cottage near Everfree forest. It had a couple of holes but they all managed to fix it. They also painted the outside of the cottage a dark shade of green. And the roof a lighter shade of brown so it would match the color of the forest. The inside though, had a lighter color. It was cream colored.

"Hey Aj, ya'llmost done thar' with those cookies?" Applejack asked while pounding some cake batter.
"Almost, can ya'll past me some sugar?" His male counterpart put all the cookies in a bowl then transferred it to the snack table. Then returned to the kitchen.
"Hey Applejack and Aj, how many snacks are we making? And how many are done?" Twilight said entering the room.
"Oh heya Twi."Applejack grabbed a long list that was pinned on the wooden door " We're supposed ta make 50 choco chip cookies, 10 vanilla pies, 1 bowl of punch, 1 bowl of lemonade, a bowl o' lemon drops, 30 different flavored cupcakes, 20 caramel apples, Two gallons of ice cream,  bowl of spaghetti, And ar' big ol' Apple cake"
"Alright" Twilight responded "How many are done?"
"Well..." Applejack looked again at the long list "Were done with thar' cake, lemon drops, the ice cream's in the freezer, The cookies, pies, caramel apples, and 1 bowl o' lemonade,"
"So..." Twilight placed her hoof under her chin "You still need to make the punch, cupcakes, spaghetti, oh and can you make a another pie? Pinkie and Bubble well... got carried away with...hungriness" she smiled sheepishly at the two earth ponies.
"Right back atcha' Twi" The orange pony winked then turned to his counterpart "Ya'll heard that?"
"Uhuh Ahm' still makin' the last batch o' cupcakes" Aj said pulling the cupcakes out of the oven.

"Good job with the foods. Now, I gotta check on the others" Twilight went out of the kitchen and headed to the others. Each of them had each special task. Pinkie and Bubble were in charge of decorating the place, The two AJ's were in charge of the foods. The Rainbows were in charge of getting the two birthday ponies in the cottage, Rarity and Elusive were in charge of cleaning the place up. Which, was not a good idea 'It's all for Fluttershy/Butterscotch' They thought as they swept  the extra streamers on  the floor. Spike and Barb were in charge of helping Twilight and Dusk. While those two purple unicorns made sure everything was perfect. Just like always.
