To say they were sticky would be correct. It would also be an understatement. The amount of stickiness they felt was like, well, they had been swimming in a pool of orange soda. Which they had been.
The second party was the next day. Pinkie still felt like she was dying but not as much. Discord had gotten a letter from Fluttershy so he came to visit. It was all hugs and cuddles and 'I'll always be here for you.' Then she threw up on him. So, the other girls got a fun new helper for the second party. Yay.
Pinkie did apologize before he left rather quickly, 'To help your deal poor friends who don't know how to have fun.'
The second party was an anniversary party. The happy couple had had adventures around Equestria in their youth and wanted others to enjoy that. They were upset Pinkie wasn't there but accepted Discord as a replacement.
He snapped up a rock climbing wall, a wave pool (a pool that makes waves like at the ocean), a table of exotic food and a whole playset themed around spelunking. It was great! The kids were too busy to bother RD who once again was manning the ice stand. 'Cause you were so good at it before!'
Applejack and Rarity helped with the rock climbing wall. And Twilight was stuck in a waitress outfit and hidden by the food table. 'That way the guests have no time to be bothered by your boring knowledge of exotic food.'
The problem happened when a filly dropped some orange soda into the pool. Discord, who was life-guarding but sadly had no Pinkie to 'save and resuscitate', in other words no Pinkie to make out with, decided the best way to fix the problem was to turn the whole pool to orange soda. It was fine until some idiot kid decided to stick his head underneath and only drink it in and not come up for air.
All the girls had been there when it happen cause they saw the pool orange for some reason and went to investigate. Hence they all jumped in (or were pushed by Discord, really, it's how ever you want to look at it) and saved the poor kid. Discord decided to be nice and put them under a dryer so now they are very, very sticky.
In unrelated news, Discord isn't allowed to 'decide' things anymore.
They all had to leave to Rarity's shop to get very, very unsticky leaving Discord to keep the party going. They came back a half hour later to find the party strangely just fine but also having a huge cake. The happy couple blew out the candles and the cake promptly exploded. At least the clean up was quick as Discord snapped it all away.
In other unrelated news, don't get Rarity dirty more than once. It's very scary.
So, in the end, the girls and a shield wielding Discord(cause you never know) came back to tell Pinkie of their triumph.
"Um girls? There is one other thing I need. I have a friend who asked me to help with her traveling theater show. You see, they're setting down close by and are going to have a carnival. I don't think it'll be too hard to do. You'll have two other ponies who are supposed to help. So, what do you think?"
