The first party to do was a pirate party along with actors. It was for a little colt's birthday. Pinkie had written down where and when to go. It was by the lake.
Rainbow dash flew around putting up decorations. Applejack was busy nailing together a plank to walk.
There were tables to be pulled together and things to setup. Rarity seemed glued to the phone trying to sort everything. She's been in a few runway shows but she'd never had to actually pull it together! The actors needed to be there at a certain time.
Twilight had a check list but that didn't seem to be of any help. Nothing really happened in the order it was supposed to. She looked around. When was the food going to get here? When was she supposed to bring out the ice chests? Did they even have any ice chests!? She turned her head back and forth looking around.
"Rainbow Dash! Can you go see where the ice chests are? They look like pirate chests!"
"But Twilight, I'm not done yet! Can't you do it?"
Twilight sighed. She looked over at Applejack.
"How far are you from getting done?"
"Almost there! Just a few more nails."
"Okay, cause we'll need it ready for when the boat gets here."
"Boat? Ah heard nothing about a boat."
"Yeah, you know, for the pirates? Rarity! When are they supposed to get here?"
"Half an hour after the guest arrive!"
They continued to run around and try to set everything up before anypony gets there.
"But I want another scoop!"
"You can't get another scoop. You can only have two." Rainbow said through gritted teeth.
The little twerp, ah, child was demanding more ice cream then he was given. But, there was a limit on how much anyone could get.
"I want more now!"
"Can it and go away!"
The kid 'hmphed' and walked off. RD was starting to rethink having kids.
The supplies had all gotten there on time fortunately. The actors on time. Twilight had a few problems with sorting out the money but it got taken care of. Everypony seemed happy for the moment.
Only, there were kids running around everywhere. Trash to take care of. A few of the adults had decided to bring a 'drink' of their own seeing as the party was outside. Applejack had to lifeguard around the lake edges in case any too excited child wanted to get closer to the boat.
Rarity was enjoying herself more as she got to play the damsel in distress and was busy making goo-goo eyes at one of the sailors. Rainbow Dash had been having fun until the kids ganged up on her and kept whacking her with the foam swords. She hoped serving ice cream would be a less headache inducing job. Guess not.
Everything went fine and the guest left. The birthday boy's parents thanked them and asked about where Pinkie was.
The girls waved them off and looked around to the mess to clean up. At least they've got one party done without too much trouble.
