"Ha! I knew it!" Pinkamena shouted to the ponies now clustered around her. "I knew you were planning a party to say 'You are going to stay with us forever'! Well, I'm not buying it! I'm going back to Equestria whether you like it or not!" she screamed. She probably sounded like a spoiled filly that didn't get what she wanted, but Pinkamena didn't care.
"What are you talking about?" asked Pinkie Pie. "This isn't a 'You are going to stay with us forever' party! This is a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party!"
"But you were all running away from me and being mean to me..." Pinkamena trailed off. 
"Oh, darling," laughed Rainbow Dash, trotting up to the Equestrian. "This was a surprise party, darling. Darling,we were just trying to keep it a secret! We honestly didn't mean to make you feel sad, darling!" she smiled at Pinkamena. "I was making this darling dress for Toola Roola, darling, and I wanted it to be a surprise, darling. Isn't it simply dashing?" she pointed at Toola Roola, who twirled in a dress made up of pastels so bright and loud it hurt to look at.
"And I figured that since I love parties so much..." Pinkie trailed off.
"...that I love parties, too!" Pinkie's mane poofed back into it's curly state with a sound like her party cannon going off. "And you're right! I love parties!" Pinkie's smile expanded from ear to ear. "But this party is missing something."
"What?" Scootaloo inquired. "I think it's perfect!"
"Me and my PARTY CANNON!" Pinkie grinned as she pulled out the blue and pink cannon from nowhere and blasted the wall. Soon it was covered with confetti, balloons, and a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-pony. It also spat out a DJ turn-table.
"Where's the Vinyl Scratch here? Let's PARTY!" she shrieked. 
But something was wrong. All of the ponies were staring at her party cannon like it was an explosive. Which, when Pinkie thought about it, it actually was.
"What?" she asked. "I never leave home without my party cannon, even when I'm going to another world!" She grinned at the crowd, and soon raced to the turn-tables and started mixing some epic wubs.
She took a record of her favorite song out of nowhere and started remixing it, and soon everypony was jammin'.
"I've never heard music like this!" exclaimed Starsong from above. "Did you write it?"
"Yeah! I call it the Smile Song!" Pinkie shouted over the noise. Obviously these ponies had never experienced a party Pinkie Pie style before, and they loved it.
"WOO- HOO!!!" she cheered. Best Welcome Party EVER!!!

Pinkie Pie was exhausted. It was about midnight, and she was lounging on the couch in Other Pinkie's living room, since her huge heart tower did not have a single guest room.
That had been one of her best parties, and yet she was surrounded by mutant pony things the entire time. She had hardly noticed that the ponies had creepy faces and mutant smiles. If she just imagined that these ponies were normal-looking, then it was actually pretty fun.
Suddenly, something twitched under her rump. She looked down to see her tail shaking and shivering like crazy.
Pinkie raced upstairs to find Other Pinkie. The Equestrian shook her alternate self awake.
"My tail!" she exclaimed to a groggy Other Pinkie. "Twitch-a-twitch, twitch-a-twitch! Something's going to fall!"
"W-what?" yawned Other Pinkie. 
"My Pinkie Sense is telling me something is going to fall right outside your house! Come on!" Pinkie urged Other Pinkie up from her bed and outside. It was dark, but Pinkie could still see something falling straight towards them. No, not something... someone!
"Go get Starsong!" Pinkie ordered herself. "Somepony's falling from the sky!"
Other Pinkie looked really confused, but did as she was told.
"AAAAHHHH!!!" screamed the pony, and Pinkie recognized her voice.
"Twilight?" she called. The earth pony vaguely remembered Twilight telling her that after twelve hours she would come looking for Pinkie. And she also remembered that the portal was at least one hundred feet above Ponyville! 
Suddenly a dark shape swooped in and gathered the unicorn in her hooves. Starsong! The lavender pegasus pony gently set Twilight on the ground.
"Twilight!" Pinkie rushed towards her friend, giving her a hug.
"You know this pony?" asked Other Pinkie, raising an eyebrow.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!" screamed Twilight.
"What's wrong, Twilight? You're on the ground now!" Pinkie eyed her friend nervously. 
"Oh, sorry!" Twilight finally got a grip and looked around. "I just saw, um..." she stammered. Twilight obviously thought the ponies were freakish, too, but she was being a bit more polite that Pinkie had been.
"Yes, Pinkie here said that we looked a little weird to her," said Other Pinkie, stepping forward. 
"Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and I'm just here to bring Pinkie Pie back to her own dimension!" the unicorn introduced herself formally, like she usually did. "I'll just make another portal and bring us back to our Ponyville!"
"Yes, darling, please! Though, you did make our lives a little interesting, darling, with that, what do you call it darling? Oh, yes, that party cannon. I thought that that was simply dashing, darling!" said Rainbow Dash.
"And you are?" asked Twilight. Pinkie could read her friend well, and she knew that Twilight was just being polite.
"Rainbow Dash, darling," introduced the sky-blue earth pony, and Twilight's jaw dropped. "And yes, Pinkie, the darling, was surprised by me too, darling. Apparently, darling, in the other world I am a daredevil, am I right darling?" she added.
"Gah," was all Twilight could say.
"Well, you'd better get going!" threw in Sweetie Belle quickly, breaking the silence. 
Twilight shook her head. "Right," the unicorn agreed, and focused on the wall of a nearby building. Her horn began to glow, and soon a hole appeared on the side of the building.
Pinkie waved a hoof to these mutant Ponyvillians as Twilight jumped through the portal. Then she followed her friend back into Equestria.
