"Seriously? Plot Pie?" Pinkie raised an eyebrow.
"It's pronounced Plout."
"That's the same thing!'
"No, it's spelled different."
"That's called a homophone."
"No, it's called a forth wall and the readers appreciate good grammar and proper spelling. Now, I believe you owe me for watching your boyfriend for the day." Grey raised her own eyebrow.
"He's not an unruly dog like you and certain others would think."
"How about a back rub? Or rub my hooves? It's so stressful. Dealing with him, keeping everything secret. Please~?" She pouted. Pinkie bit her lip.
"Ugh, fine. Come here."
"Yay!"
"We should time skip."
"Past this? Why?"
"I don't think this would be too entertaining, also the readers just want to see Discord's party."
"And I think the forth wall is being strained. Oh well. Fine, just keep rubbing. Yay."
"You're so weird."
"Where are we going?" Discord whined.
"It's a surprise! I can't tell you what it is cause then it'll ruin the surprise."
"I don't care. It's hard walking blind. Besides, I'm sure any surprise that takes me all the way back to Canterlot is a bad one."
"You can't be sure of that silly. Besides, I planned the surprise so it should be good."
"I could only hope."
"Okay! Here we are!" Pinkie yelled. Discord pulled off the blind fold. He looked around excitedly. He was at the entrance of the hedge maze.
The return to the hedge maze was a marked event. As in, it was on the calendar. Discord could only wonder as he was lead into the maze with the expectations of a picnic.
The maze paths were turned to a gold brick road. The lining plants were an odd assortment of mixed plants.
The floor of the clearing was a purple checker board so known to him as his design. The tables and chairs were a mismatch of color and patterns. The tables were laid out with treats of every kind. Cupcakes, pies, bowls of candy. A bowl of colorful candy pieces but each a different candy.
The fruits were the strange hybrids like applepear, plouts, tayberry, plumcot, peacotum, and tangelo. There were even fruits that shouldn't exist like snosberries.
The main clearing lead to many other clearings. In one, everything is made of candy. In another, there are trampolines. Another had a fountain that pours a cream that starts off white and turns to all the other colors and tastes different. There were fondue sticks nearby for the fountain.
There was a petting zoo of strange animals. Some of them, he had made. Some of the strange animals were acting as servers.
The main clearing lead to many others with just as crazy decorations as the next. But, the most surprising part to him were the people. It seemed like every pony came out to the party. His party, for him. There was a main stage at the end of the main clearing. A band was all set up and ready to play.
"What is this Pinkie?"
"It's your birthday party! I know you had said you really really didn't want one but I thought that maybe I should throw you one anyway. One big, once in a lifetime humongous birthday party. And, my present to you is a collection of songs inspired by you! That way you can have it forever. Even after you out live us all."
Discord felt stunned. He felt too much to even cry. It was all for him. A party, songs. Every pony was there. And, they wanted him to remember them. 'Even after you out live us all'."
"It's great Pinkie. I can't wait to hear the first one."
"Presents after cake!" Grey declared. She was smiling, a rare feat at times, next to an empty table.
Pinkie lead him to the table.
"Yes! Cake!" She ran around the table to a rope hanging off to the side, "Let them eat cake!"
She yelled then pulled the rope. A giant cake from who knows where fell onto the table. It splattered and pieces went everywhere. The slopped over remains had whole rows of candles on it.
"I didn't want to overwhelm the cake with candles."
"I think that was a good idea."
The guests didn't need plates or utensils. They just lick off the cake that landed on them.
"Time for presents!" Pinkie called out.
Grey stepped right up to Discord who raised a brow.
"For you, I have..."
She pulled out a sheet and with a quick whip of it, there was a giant type writer you have to jump on.
"Come on, try it out!" She giggled. Discord brightened. He and her jumped on the keys to type out
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
"Ooo, I'm going to have so much fun with that!" Pinkie said.
The rest of the presents had been given. It was now time for fun.
They had fun in the Carnival of Chaos that had been set up. One of the ring toss games gave out Platypuses when you won. The house of mirrors turned your actual body in to weird shapes instead of just being reflected that way. It was all so exciting.
The main clearing had a mad tea party theme to it. Somepony commented on it and Discord decided it'll be great turning Celestia into the red queen. She wasn't so amused.
It was soon time for the concert. Everypony gathered on the dance floor. Surprisingly, it was Button who introduced the band.
"These songs are dedicated to one special guy, Discord!"
Discord smiled so wide he thought it would get stuck. A male earth pony came on stage and started to sing a song called, Discord, after you know who. Discord didn't know if he should be embarrassed or excited. Pinkie solved the problem by pulling out to dance.
The rest of the songs included, Wine Red, One Night In Bangkok, Nine in the afternoon, Anything but Ordinary, Don't Make me Laugh, You're beautiful baby, and Deer in Headlights.
"This was great night Pinkie. Thank you."
Discord and Pinkie were sitting on a cloud about the party.
"It was nothing." Pinkie reddened.
"I love you." He held her hand.
"I love you too."
And then they kissed.
