Preperations for Preperations and Bad Dreams

"AH!" Pinkie screamed as she suddenly awoke, pulling the covers above her head and hiding there, peeping one eye out to make sure that nothing was trying to attack her. When she realized that she was safe in her own room, she lowered the covers

She could hear Mrs. Cake yelling from the bottom floor. "Are you alright, Pinkie?'

She sighed. "Yes Mrs. Cake, I`m okay. Just a bad dream."

"Well, if you ever need anything, let me know." Mrs. Cake yelled as she went back to the kitchen.

Pinkie got up from her bed and trotted to the washroom to brush her teeth. She eats a lot of sweets, and the dentist pony told her that she should brush her teeth twice a day if she didn't want to get cavities all the time.

Why did I have such a bad dream?

She suddenly thought to herself, as she was brushing her teeth. She has been having many bad dreams in the past week, and they were all identical - all of them being about her best friends being kidnapped by some unknown shadow pony - but the dream she had last night had to be the scariest one yet! She wasn't very sure why she was having these dreams. Who in Equestria would kidnap ponies? Her best friends even! She was very unsure, however she was sure that if a shadow pony ever kidnapped her friends, she would find that shadow pony and teach it not to be such a mean meanie pants.

"Ah, finally done!" Pinkie joyfully exclaimed. She had taken extra time to brush her hind teeth because that is where she had always gotten her cavities. She put her brush down and looked into the mirror. Smiling as hard as she could, her teeth beamed into the mirror and she said to herself "Looking good, Pinkie!" She happily bounced downstairs, keeping the same huge smile on her face, and headed to the door.

Mrs. Cake noticed Pinkie getting ready to leave. "Pinkie? Where are you going?"

"I`m going to go invite my best friends to my party tonight!" she announced happily with a smile.

"So early?" Mrs. Cake said confused. "Well, at least have some breakfast before you go."

"Oh, right." Pinkie grabbed the box to her favourite sugary cereal and a carton of milk and poured both into her mouth at the same time, and with a huge gulp she swallowed it all.

Mrs. Cake stared at Pinkie for a moment before trotting back to the kitchen. "I need to go and finish this mornings batch of Lemon Surprise muffins."

"Okey-dokey-lokey" Pinkie said as she attempted to put on her boots. Winter has just started in Ponyville, and although she loved the snowy season, she did not love her boots. She really liked the bright colours of these boots;

The bright pinks mix with the bright blues perfectly!

She thought to herself, but they were becoming worn-out, holes circling the outsides of the boots and broken laces galore. Perhaps Rarity could make her larger, even more colourful boots if she asked her. Pinkie decided to add that on todays to-do list, aside of inviting her friends and getting important things for todays special party.

"See you later, Mrs. Cake!" Pinkie said grabbing her saddlebags, opening and then slamming the door.

As Pinkie began her trot, she decided that because she needed new boots, she would go and invite Rarity to her party first. She was hoping that she could get boots with colours like the ones she is wearing now, but larger and with a fuzzy inside. She had some bits ready in her saddlebags just in case Rarity already had some nice colourful boots made.

As she was on her way to the Boutique, Pinkie saw the mailpony Ditzy Hooves flying towards Sugarcube Corner and shouted ''Hey Ditzy!''

Ditzy, caught of guard by Pinkies shouting, started to slowly fly down to the ground. "Uh, hi Pinkie."

"Heading to Sugarcube corner, hmm? Well Mrs. Cake is almost finished baking this mornings batch of Lemon Surprise muffins and they are going to be super tasty!" Pinkie mentioned, noticing Ditzy getting very excited.

"Oh, thanks Pinkie!" she said as she began to trot as fast as she could to get to Sugarcube corner faster.

Pinkie, satisfied that she made Ditzy so happy, continued her trot to the Boutique. Not paying attention to where she was going, Pinkie tripped over a rock. After getting up and wiping the snow off of her, she looked at the snow with amazement.

She had always loved the snow, but she wasn't sure why. Was it because it danced beautifully in the winds on the way to the ground? Was it because she could shape into anything it wanted to? Back when she was just a little filly on her parents rock farm, she always watched the snow gently fall across the fields, blanketing everything with layer upon layer of frozen water droplets each with their own individual shape. It amazed her, and every year she would celebrate the first snowfall with her family. She even threw a snowfall party - the first party she ever threw. It was snow that first sparked her love for partying. Cold, soft snow. Now that she though about it, this must have been the reason she fell in love with the snow.

Pinkie, realizing how long she had been staring at the snow, quickly began to head to the boutique again. She was almost there - it was in sight. Pinkie approached the Boutique slowly, moving her hoof towards Rarity's doorbell before she wondered if Rarity would even be awake at this time in the morning. It was pretty early, but she needed to give her friends a lot of time to prepare for her party, so she decided to ring the doorbell anyway. She rang it once and patiently waited, and without an answer, she decided to ring it forty-two more times before Rarity opened the door and shouted "WHAT!?"

Pinkie took a few steps back and awkwardly laughed. "Um, hi Rarity."

Rarity calmed herself down when she realized it was Pinkie. "Oh, hello Pinkie. I'm sorry for shouting at you like that dear, but it's still very early in the morning and I need my beauty sleep. Do you think it could wait until later?"

''Yeah, sure. Sorry for waking you Rarity"

''It's quite alright darling, too-da-loo!" Pinkie heard Rarity slam the door behind her.

Pinkie decided that she will go and eat muffins with Ditzy for a few hours before trying inviting any of her best friends again, however she still felt bad about waking Rarity so early.

I know!

She began to start working in Rarity's yard immediately.
