"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAINBOW DASH!" everypony in Sugarcube Corner shouted when she entered the room.
"HA! I knew it! I was expecting you all when Pinkie Pie invited me here!"
"You know me too well, Rainbow Dash! Of course I would throw you an awesome party to celebrate your birthday! It's a classic Pinkie Pie tradition!"
"Thank you all for remembering! Though I shouldn't be surprised, Pinkie does know EVERYTHING about EVERY PONY after all! And to think that she'd forget one of her best friend's birthdays should've never even come to mind!"
"You got that right, Dashie! Now c'mon everypony, it's party time! WOOHOO!" Pinkie yelled, announcing the party to begin.
For several hours, everypony sang, danced, ate loads of cake, played games, and other fun stuff too! Rainbow Dash had a great time with her friends on her birthday. Unfortunately, around eleven o' clock, 10 hours after the party started, it had to come to an end. Everypony in Sugarcube Corner that night partied their flanks off until they didn't have the energy to do it anymore. In fact, ponies were scattered in several places around Sugarcube Corner, either asleep or trying to catch their breath. Twilight had her face on the floor next to the punch bowl, Fluttershy had her face IN the punch bowl, Rarity fell asleep conveniently on Pinkie's bed (which was made, but not before she fell asleep), Spike "accidentally" fell asleep next to Rarity, Applejack was lying on the kitchen counter with a bite of cake left on her stomach that she hadn't finished, and even the special birthday mare Rainbow Dash was resting on a spinning fan-blade upstairs.
Pinkie Pie, however, was still completely awake. The past 10 hours were like 10 minutes to her since she pretty much does this every day. She quietly snuck over to a supply closet in the kitchen and took out a few air horn cans, some tape, and ear plugs. Pinkie climbed to the roof of Sugarcube Corner and opened a secret hatch that led down from the roof to the first floor. Taping the air horns to her front hooves, she dove down the hatch, head first, and managed a hard landing on the ground floor, sounding off both air horns. The noise echoed throughout the house, everypony jumped up and ran rambunctiously around from the startling sound effect. Spike, Rarity and Twilight woke up, Applejack fell off the counter, Fluttershy ripped her head out of the punch bowl, and Rainbow Dash hit the ground when she fell off the fan blade in a panic. Everypony else ducked down close to the ground covering their ears, as did the other 5 of the mane 6 when they realized what was going on. Eventually, both cans were depleted, and Pinkie climbed out of the hatch to tell everypony thank you, and that they may leave now, but to come back for a tasty treat some time!
Most left with stomach and head aches, but those were just a few of the common symptoms of a traditional Pinkie Pie Birthday Party. The 6 ponies met in a circle at the ground floor to give Rainbow her presents before the night was over. 4 of them joined the circle rubbing their heads and ears from the noise, plus Applejack and Rainbow Dash from the falls. Everypony was awake now, and Rainbow Dash was super-excited to open her presents. Not only had she received one from each of her friends of course, but she also got a few from other mares and colts like Derpy, Raindrops, Cheerilee, Lyra, Doctor Whooves, Big Mac, Caramel, and several others as well. A couple minutes later, when Rainbow Dash was surrounded by several gifts from her other friends, it was time she opened the ones from her best friends.
First was Twilight, who surprisingly didn't give her a book this year, but instead a Daring Do plush doll, that had over 100 phrases at the pull of a string, and a removable hat! "Wow Twilight, this is so awesome! Thanks!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "It wasn't easy getting that, mind you, but I'm glad you like it!".
The next present was from Applejack, a pair of new sunglasses with the colors of her hair on the frames and her name embroidered on the outside and inside. "I reckon you'll be more than 20% cooler with these, sugarcube!" "Darn right! Thanks AJ! These are super cool!"
Fluttershy was next. As Rainbow tore up the wrapping paper, she slowly revealed what looked like a set of... bottle caps. "What are these? Bottle caps?" Rainbow Dash said in a confused tone. "Oh, they're more than just that, watch!" Fluttershy said, as she pressed her hoof down on one to invert it, and with a pop, it flew into the air and stuck to the ceiling. Fluttershy pressed a few more, which did the same. Then she flew up to the ones stuck on the ceiling, and pressed one that landed down next to another one that popped up off the floor and onto the ceiling. "Pretty neat, huh?" "Oh yeah! These are gonna be fun! Thanks Fluttershy! I love 'em!"
Up next was Rarity, who of course got something fashionable for her, she just knew it. And she was right! Encased in a box was a cowboy hat that had been colored just like her fur. "Pretty swanky, is it not?" Rarity asked. "It's perfect, and it goes great with the sunglasses Applejack gave me! Thanks Rarity, you did a good job!"
Last but not least was Pinkie Pie, who had something extra special for all of her friends that night. "Heeeyyyy Dashiiiiiie! You'll never guess what I got!" Pinkie teased. "YOU DIDN'T!" Dash's wings sprung up. "Eyup! Six BACKSTAGE tickets to The Wonderbolts 100th Anniversary tomorrow!" Pinkie announced. "PINKIE PIE, IF I WASN'T THE MARE I WAS I'D KISS YOU! I can't thank you enough! This is the greatest gift anypony has given to me! Well... this AND what the rest of you gave me today. But OMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSH THE FREAKIN' WONDERBOLTS! BACKSTAGE PASSES! I CAN'T WAIT!" Rainbow Dash yelled in excitement. "Now hold on there, Rainbow Dash. Save that excitement for the show!" Twilight suggested. "Right... uh... right. Oh man, this is so exciting!
I can't wait to meet my life-long heroes!"
