You talked about yourself before, so it makes sense to talk about Pinkie now. Before you speak, you lean back and gaze at her beauty. She might not be as radiant as a pony like Rarity, or as elegant as a pony like Fleur Dis Lee, but she does have a charm of her own. Her endless energy coupled with her happy demeanor makes her one of the most uplifting ponies around. Plus, she smells nice too. Is that perfume?

“Pinkie,” you say, “has anypony ever told you just how wonderful you are?”

“Wonderful? Me? Well sure; there's Maud Pie, and Rainbow Dash, and Twilight, and Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and Fluttershy, and—”

You can't help but giggle. “Pinkie, you're quite lucky to have so many ponies who think so highly of you, but what I meant to ask was: has anypony told you how beautiful you are?”

She blushes and tries to hide it by slinking back, but you can't help but notice her furtive smile. “Maybe?”

“Well, 'Maybe' has the right idea, as your eyes are like sapphires that glisten in the sun. Your voice is like a melody played straight from the heart. Your mane is like a river, wild and untamed, that carries forth the primal joy that bursts from your being.”

“Oh stop, you. You're embarrassing me.”

“But you haven't even heard the best metaphor yet. Upon a soil made from doom and gloom, your smile is like an earthquake that tears open the ground. Red hot love and joy spill out like your tongue pouring over a juicy cupcake—”

“Now you're just being silly.”

You chuckle. “Well, yes, but you can't say that you're not enjoying it.”

“I am, but I have something to tell you: your mouth is like a waffle iron. Just when it starts to warm up, it clamps shut and mangles everything caught inside.”

“Touché, Pinkie, Touché.” You give a slight bow and perk up when you hear the hoofsteps of the waiter. He comes bearing a large, covered tray. “Speaking of mouths, it looks like our food's here.”

The waiter gently places the tray on your table and lifts the lid to reveal...
