//------------------------------// // Helping Trixie Make It Through Her Birthday // Story: Pinkie Pie Tells the Story of the Lady Named Sunset with Really Short Chapters! // by Jesse Coffey //------------------------------// Sunset Shimmer walks in The Dark Forest and is really sad without Trixie her best friend and plays an old song written by a guy named Kris in the background (see Author's Notes) She goes and thinks about Trixie and her life. She thinks the friendship will remain unbroken but today is the day it gets broken, and we made it that way because we are such big meanies. She sat on the old bench and cried because her only friend is gone. So now we have her return to Canterlot High so that she could find Trixie. This is a happy conversation. We have written it down here, and don't get us in trouble for it: "Hello Trixie!" said Sunset Shimmer. "Nice to see you Sunset Shimmer!" "You're a good old friend of mine! And you're the only one I know who could change the mood of this chapter rapidly by appearing in the chapter!" "Yes. The budget on this story is so low it cannot even afford to let a sad scene maintain its sadness." "That says something." "I'm here because...well...they say it's my birthday! Whoa, uh, yeah, well, it's your birthday too!" "No it's not." "Whoo whoo! They say it's my birthday and you and I are gonna have a good time! If you're glad it's my birthday, say "Happy birthday" to me! Me! And only me!" "All right then." Taking a deep breath, she calmly sings: Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you Happy birthday dear Trixie, Happy birthday to you! "That was beautiful. Now, as a way to deprive us of a scene in which we are to be at a party, it's time for me to go to bed. Want to do it with me?" "Sure." Now they are both in bed, oddly enough, and always talk about friendship all day.
