Triple P




“So how’s it been Jester?” Twilight looked over to find Pinkie Pie conversing in good speech with him. “It could have been better.” Pinkie Pie just smiled. “Come on! You just went through the battle of a lifetime! You could teach me a thing or two!” Jester smiled. “Heheh. Probably not.” He picked up a piece of rubble, and swung it like a sword. It fell out of his hoof after a while.

“Wait. Pinkie Pie, you know him?” Twilight looked at her. Pinkie Pie looked at Twilight. “Yeah, of course I know him! A few years back, I threw several free-lance parties every where! I’d hang posters EVERYWHERE telling everyone about it. At first I didn’t get much reception, but after a while, ponies would leave town just to go!” Jester smiled. “I heard good things about the Triple P.” Twilight Sparkle smirked. ”Triple P?” Pinkie Pie grinned ear to ear. “Ponies everywhere started calling me that. ‘Pinkie Pie of the Party’ or something like that.” Jester smiled. “I was enjoying myself at one of Pinkie Pies’ parties. She came up to me.” Pinkie Pie looked back at Twilight, “He seemed kind of lonely back there, so I talked to him.” “We had a good talk over some drinks, Pinkie and I. After the party I volunteered to help clean up.” Jester looked over to Pinkie Pie. “I’ve never seen such a wild girl clean up so quickly.” Pinkie Pie gave a friendly pout. “Just because I throw parties doesn’t mean I’m not responsible.” She looked over to Jester. “Where’d you go? You just disappeared after that. I didn’t even get to say goodbye!” Jester chuckled a little guiltily. “I just left. I didn’t think that you’d actually cared whether I was there or not.” Pinkie Pie looked at him strangely. “Of COURSE I would care!” 

Twilight cut in. “Jester, where have you been all this time? I never see you around!” Jester looked at Twilight. “That’s probably because you only ever resided in two places. Canterlot and Ponyville, both of which I’ve never been to before.” He turned to look at her friends, and then back at Twilight. “The last time I saw you was when you were going to defeat Nightmare Moon.” Twilight was shocked. “You were in the Everfree forest this whole time?” Jester nodded. “I know the place like the back of my hoof. You could have just made a short walk from the old palace and would have come across the statue anyway.” He laughed a little.

Jester turned back to Pinkie. “When was the last time you threw your amazing parties, Pinkie?” Twilight looked at Jester. “She’s been throwing at least two parties every month. I’m surprised you don’t hear about it. Then again, you were in a remote region at the time...” Pinkie Pie just looked at Twilight. “Come to think of it, I haven’t had such a big party in a while.” Twilight laughed. “We had just had one! Pinkie, you need to work on your memory.” Pinkie Pie shook her head. “I wasn’t kidding around when he said ponies from everywhere traveled just to get to my parties.” Jester looked at Pinkie Pie, then to Twilight. “You’ve never been to a Triple P party? You’re missing out.”



Twilight was confused yet again. Jester spoke up, “Pinkie Pie has how many parties did you say?” Twilight looked up. ”at least two a month, why?” Jester thought for a moment. ”and how many attend?” Twilight looked over her shoulder. “Just me and the girls over there.” Jester blinked, and chuckled again. ”You really never been to Pinkies real parties, have you?”

Pinkie Pie perked up. “This is PERFECT!” Twilight looked over. “What?” Pinkie turned to Twilight. “I’ve had one of those parties in every major settlement except Ponyville!” Then Pinkie frowned. “But it’s not big enough...” Twilight tilted her head. “The barn? It should be big enough.” Pinkie Pie shook her head. “If we were to use the barn, we would have to have about nine more barns.” Twilight shook her head. She turned to Jester. “From what I can tell, that’s about right.” Twilight gaped. A party of that magnitude couldn’t be possible, could it?

The rest of the group walked over. “Twilight, what are you guys talking about?” Rainbow Dash looked around the group. “Ever heard of Triple P?” Jester looked to the group. Rarity gasped. “Triple P? I haven’t heard that name in a while. Is she making a ‘comeback’, so to speak?” Jester smiled, and pointed to Pinkie Pie. “You’re looking at her, and yes she may be making a comeback.” Pinkie Pie beamed. Rarity gaped. “All this time, hearing wonderful things about the amazing Triple P, and I almost literally lived across the street from her!” Applejack caught her as she promptly fainted. Rainbow Dash gaped. “Triple P is PINKIE PIE? I should have known!” She gave an excited giggle. Pinkie Pie laughed out loud. “You really know how to keep undercover!” Pinkie Pie looked back up. “I’m planning a HUGE party here in Ponyville! I’m going to need all the help I can get!” Princess Celestia smiled. “I might actually have an excuse to help out.” Pinkie Pie let out a triumphant “YES” and started bouncing around.
