I watched from my bedroom window as the girls left the house. For the briefest of moments I wanted to call out to them and ask if they could stay just a little longer but I remembered what had happened last time. I did not want to cause another incident.
Instead, I kept my feelings to myself as I watched my friends leave. Twilight glanced over to the window and waved a hoof goodbye. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face as I waved back to her, but as she turned around to leave, I felt it slipping just a bit.
“It’s okay Gummy,” I gave a little hop, skip, and a jump off my bed to land besides my crazy little gator. He’s so cute with his huge eyes and gummy mouth. I love Gummy!
Hm. That reminds me. I have some gummy ponies in my dresser! I dashed on over to fish them out then flopped down on a bean-bag to nibble on the delicious little treats.
“Oh dear,” I giggled while mimicking Rarity’s tone of voice. “Your mane is simply, awful! Here, let me fix it.” I nibbled my teeth along the top of the gummypony’s mane until it became a flat-top.
“Silly Pony of purple and white, look at my mane, it’s such a fright!” I lowered my voice to respond as Zecora.
“Yeah sugarcube. I am a thinkin’ that you took a wee bit off the top thar.”
“My goodness!” I gasped while clutching both hooves to my chest. “What ever shall I do?” I fell backwards onto the beanbag as a fit of giggles broke my concentration. I tossed the gummypony into my mouth and stared at the ceiling. As much as I didn’t want to admit it, I was becoming a sleepy Pinkie.
But PinkiePies never go to bed without cleaning up after their party! “C’mon Gummy! We must shake our rumps and get our room nice and sparkly!” Gummy leaped onto my back to sink his gums into my neck. “Hey!” I giggled. “That tickles!” He attacked my knees, back, then finally clenched onto my tail. I wiggled him back and forth a few times before he let go. He began to wander around the room, his green tail smacking some of the party cups out of the way.
“That’s it Gummy!” I cheered. I bit down upon my broom handle and joined him in sweeping up all the confetti, streamers, and discarded drink cups. I had a very special place to store all these things; a contraption of my own design that would separate the confetti from the streamers while putting all the cups into a garbage bag. This way, I could reuse all my party favors without having to buy new ones!
Oh what the hay. I think I’ll go down to Mr. JackinBox and buy some more anyways. Oh, I know! I’ll get that extra-large bad of sparkly streamers with the glitter designs! I’ve always had my eye on those. We can have a discopony theme! I could ask Vinyl Scratch to help with the music. I know she’d jump at the opportunity!
My mind brimming with all the possibilities, I continued to clean up my room. I dumped everything into my contraption (which looked like a large metal box covered in green, red, and blue lights) and waited until it was done sorting. I then bagged all my confetti and streamers into two separate baggies before nudging the trash bag over towards the door. I’ll throw it away in the morning.
By the time I had finished cleaning up, Gummy was already asleep in his bed. I sat down in the middle of the room with a sketchpad and a check list. For a while I just sat there letting my imagination run wild. I already had the disco ball, I had the streamers, hm. I’ll need to design the appropriate banners for the theme of the party, then make up a new batch of invitations, and order some food (oooh more taste testing! Ya!) from Mr and Mrs. Cake.
Hmm. What else? What…(I repressed a yawn) else?
A goofy little pinkie smile crossed my lips as my eyelids began to droop. I tried to fight off the sleep but as my mind wandered, my body began to shut down and before I knew it, I was falling backwards into my beanbag.
I slept a dreamless sleep.
