Chapter 1: Preparations

In Canterlot castle, on a beautiful day in Equestria, the parents of harmony were all meeting to discuss the plans for the upcoming birthday for all their children, save for the titans, who have a different birthday. "Alright, so the first part on our to-do list is to figure out what kind of cake to make for all of them," Twilight suggested.

"Right, so, what should be do for that?" Discord asked.

"Well, Joshua always loved chocolate lava cake, so there's a possibility," Eric commented.

"Toby loves chocolate too," Ashley said.

"I always remembered that Melody loved chocolate as well," Harold said.

"So, all of the children like chocolate?" Twilight asked. Everyone nodded, "Ok, so a chocolate lava cake it is then," she confirmed.

"Next, we need decorations. So Pinkie, I take it you can handle that?" Celestia asked.

"Yes Princess, I can do that!" Pinkie excitedly said.

"But we'll have to split it between flashy and attractive, and controlled and easy. Mavis still doesn't like attention, even after all you've done for her," Celina pointed out.

"Ok, so a mix of bright colors and dark colors, got it!" Pinkie responded.

"You sure know a lot about decorating for a party," Rainbow Dash commented.

"Yeah, well, I had to take a really hard test at the party pony academy, so I know my stuff," Pinkie said.

"Party pony academy?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, its where all party ponies, like myself and Cheese Sandwich, go to receive our party licenses. Without them, we aren't allowed to throw a party without consent from gold or platinum rank party pony. Thankfully, both Cheese and I are gold rank," Pinkie said proudly.

"So, you learned all you needed to learn about parties from this academy?" Eric asked.

"Yep! We were taught on how to properly mix punch, make refreshments for all kinds of ponies, hang streamers and banners, you know, that kind of stuff," Pinkie explained.

"Well, I think the children will love the party, no matter what decorations we use," Twilight said.

"That's where you're wrong Twilight. If we use the wrong kind of decoration or refreshment, then they'll feel discomfort, even before the party begins," Pinkie explained.

"Are you sure?" Twilight asked.

"Yeppie Deppie! Its all about feng sui," Pinkie replied.

"Well, ok, as long as you know what you're doing," Celestia said.

"Uh, Pinkie, when you're baking the cake for Josh, i know Josh would like it if you made it in this design," Eric said, pulling out a piece of paper, and sketching a picture of a pirate with the word "Raiders" on it.

"What is it?" Pinkie asked.

"Its the icon for the Oakland Raiders, Josh's favorite football team," Eric replied.

"Alrighty then! I'll head back to Sugarcube Corner, and start the work on the cakes!" Pinkie said, bouncing away.

"But I trust you'll be able to make it back up here to help with the decorating?" Celestia asked.

"Don't worry Princess! I'll be back," Pinkie said, impersonating Arnold Schwarzenegger, and putting on a pair of sunglasses.

"Well, that's Pinkie for ya," Rainbow Dash commented, with everyone nodding in agreement.
