It was a not so normal day and Pinkie Pie was baking some cupcakes at Sugar Cube Corner. The other mares were at Twilight's castle to discuss an important topic. Last year they made a mistake and Pinkie got really upset during her birthday. So this year they wanted to make it really special, they called the only pony who knew as much about parties as Pinkie, Cheese Sandwich.
Because Pinkie's birthday wasn't a game for little colts, Cheese was there in less time than the one that you take to say cheesy sense
The truth was that he was in love with her since he saw his idol grown and beautiful. When he came to the castle, Twilight noticed he was too excited, and that was not good in a pony that had insane party skills, so she just tried to calm him down with a slow talk, after all, they had around 8 hours to get prepared.
“Cheese Sandwich, hello” Said Twilight in a fancy way
“There’s no time to talk, let's see Pinkie!” Cheese replied in a hurry.
“Woah Cheese, there's plenty of time, don't you want to eat some cotton candy?” Said Rarity, with some cotton candy in her hooves.
“Thanks Rarity but I want to see Pinkie Pie” Cheese Sandwich was starting to get nervous, why would Pinkie’s friends would stop him from meeting her?
“And... Um... Why do you... Want to... See her?” Fluttershy asked.
“Oh, Flutter Shy don't you know... Oh wait! You don't know!” Cheese’s eyes flashed with happiness as he remembered what Flutter Shy ignored.
“And what exactly is the thing that we don't know, huh?” Apple Jack asked feeling a little annoyed.
“Well Apple Jack, maybe it's time to speed down a little bit.” Every pony else in the room huffed as the light brown stallion calmed down. Cheese took out his accordion and started singing in a slow and romantic way.
"Years ago When I was a little colt
I was looking for answers
And I found them in her
Her smile full of joy
Her eyes a baby blue,
I would never leave her
Cause she's my candy
Oh my candy
Thanks to her
I knew happiness
But I knew something even greater
I knew love.
Oh I know i cannot tell her,
Now is not the time,
But someday she'll know that
She's my candy
Oh, my candy.
Now she's all grown
And there's beauty in her name
Her bubbly self
Doesn't know calm
'Cause she's a candy
A very special candy
Cause she's my candy
Oh, my candy"
He sang with sparkling eyes as he stared at the window, probably remembering the pink mare he just couldn’t stop thinking about. The other mares stared at him a few seconds, amazed by the fact that Cheese Sandwich had a crush on Pinkie Pie.
“Cheese, that's beautiful, why didn't you ever tell us that you were in love with her?” Asked Twilight Sparkle, concerned.
“Well, as the song says, I don't think that she would take it seriously.” Said Cheese Sandwich, looking at the ground with a sad frown drawn in his face.
“Maybe you can tell her today” Proposed Rainbow Dash, bored with those cheesy things she was not used to listen.
“I was thinking something else. As you know, I've spent my whole life traveling from a place to another and never had a formal house...” Replied Cheese, as if he was about to say something very important, and at the same time, impacting.
“So?” Said Rainbow Dash, waiting for the time to leave.
“Maybe it is time now to find a house, and a job... and love” He finally said.
"Are you saying you plan to live here in Pony Ville?” Twilight liked the idea of seeing Cheese Sandwich settle down, although she was not yet sure if he was ready for that.
“Well, I would like it, yes, but I don't know if I'm ready to stop traveling, you know, I still have my cheesy sense...”
“Maybe you can stay here when there's no other parties in Equestria, and only assist to the most important or the ones that really need you there...” Proposed Rarity, and every pony else agreed.
“Yeah, but who knows where I can work, I mean, all of you work in something, and I can't just stay without bits...” Cheese said, after all this time, they ended up solving his problems, instead of him solving theirs.
“Well, I think we can solve this later, we still need to plan Pinkie's birthday” Said Twilight, looking at the time.
Pinkie had been baking since she woke up, so mister Cake told her that it was time to her to take a break. She was walking through Pony Ville when she bumped with the half-finished party her friends were still planning.
“Hey, what are you doing? Gummy’s birthday was yesterday...” She was shocked when she saw who was helping her friends with the party. Her hooves got weak and she felt like overmixed taffy. She shook her head and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she found that brown maned stallion with a slightly concerned look.
“Pinkie... Are you okay?” He said.
“Huh... yes... but tell me, is this a dream?” Said Pinkie, still a little confused.
Cheese giggled, but he was still worried about Pinkie's worried demeanor. “No, this is the real life, by the way, happy birthday” he said, happy to see her again.
“What? Today is my birthday?!” She asked excitedly.
“Yes Pinkie, today is your day” Said Cheese with a dreamy look.
“That’s great! There’s nothing better than helping to plan my own party!”
“Oh no, today all you need to do is have fun, let the other things to us, and you just got off work, you deserve a break” Said Cheese seriously and Pinkie’s friends agreed.
Everything was going perfectly, all the things you could ever imagine in a party were there: bubbles, balloons, cake, chocolate, candy, music, games, a big scenario, clowns, pinkie's cutie mark every where, fondue, party bombs, a popcorn machine, drinks, etc. It was even more epic than Rainbow's party, just the thing that you could expect from a pony who is in love. It was time now to start the party, and every pony had arrived, Twilight went up of the stage and started talking:
“As you know today is the birthday of one of our most special friends, this pony is always finding the way to make us smile, so this time is our turn to make her smile, happy birthday Pinkie Pie.” The ponies of the town cheered and screamed “Pinkie!” as the party officially started.
Cheese was talking to Pinkie and he thought it was the best moment to tell her how he felt.
“Pinkie, there's something I need to tell you...” He said, getting a little nervous.
“Cool. Because I need to tell you something too” Said Pinkie, getting closer to him.
“Okay, you tell me first” Said him, not prepared for what happened next.
“Hum mm… well... Remember that the last time you were here you gave me boneless? Well, this villain Tyrek, and a castle, and a magic rainbow... and... Well, I'll just say it... he's gone...I'm so sorry” She said and immediately went up to tears.
“What? Well, you know... I think he saved Equestria, so maybe... oh it's okay Pinkie, don't cry” Pinkie Pie was crying so Cheese held her body with his hooves and gave her a warm hug.
“Hey Pinkie, want to hear a joke?” Cheese said, trying to cheer her up, but with no joke in mind.
“I… I think yes…” She said, drying her tears
“Knock knock” He said, having an idea
“Who's there?” She said in a happier tone, it was working.
“Cheese Sandwich” He said.
“Cheese Sandwich who?” Pinkie replied, giggling a little.
“Cheese Sandwich, the one that loves you” He finally confessed, closing his eyes so he wouldn’t see Pinkie’s reaction.
“Hum... I didn't get it...” she took a moment to think about it, and when she got it she just cut off Cheese’s hug and said:
“Wait what?!!”
“Eh...he... maybe it wasn't the best way to say it...” He said, blushing.
“No Cheese, it is that... I love you too...” She said in pauses as she assimilated his confession.
“And… maybe it's time to stay here for a while” Cheese said, a little more relaxed.
Pinkie Pie kissed Cheese Sandwich and they continued the party, after all, it was still her birthday.
