Fluttershy sat with CC in the castle gardens both playing together as they has done the past 6 years of their life.
They had become like sisters in those years. No pony could come between them.
"So Fluttershy, anything happening this week?" CC asked her best freind
"Nothing I know of." Fluttershy replied
"You sure? No specail events happening in the next few days?" CC pressed on
"Nothing comes to mind" Fluttershy said obviously oblivious to what CC was reffering to
"Nothing on Saturday?" CC continued hoping Fluttershy would catch on
"Oh! Yah" Fluttershy gasped in realization "Mother is taking me to voulenteer at the Canterlot animal shelter! Shenks for reminding me!" Fluttershy smiled brightly
"Wait, WHAT!?" CC exclaimed "Your voulenteering on Saturday? Of all days you chose Saturday?!" CC exclaimed clearly hurt Fluttershy wouldnt be hanging oit with her that day, that verry specail day.
"I know, but it's the only time mother has some free time. We've been planing on this for so long. I cant beleive I almost forgot!" Fluttershy said apologetically
"Wait months?You two have been plannong this little borulenteer trip for months!?" CC still shocked at Fluttershy not remembering what Saturday was!
"Yah! It would have been so horrible if I had forgotten!" Fluttershy frowned "I need to go remind mother just in case she forgot. I hope she hasn't!"
"Wait but-" CC began 't finnish as Flutters was already flying away."How can you forget such a special day?" CC whispered on the verge of tears.
"So mother?" Fluttershy asked flying up to her unknowingly adopted mother "How are preparations going?"
"So far they are going great" Bon Bon hugged her filly "Creative doesn't suspect a thing right?"
"Nope. We cant ler her ruin the suprise. Hopefully I can prevent her from spoiling the surprise" Fluttershy frowned not wanting to hid rhings from her freind but, it was for CC's own good. All Fluttershy needed to do was keep things a secret, no matter what.
A few days later the two ponies were playing in the gardens again as usual.
"Fluttershy, are you sure you dont know what happens on Saturday." CC asked out of the blue while they created flower crowns out of daisies.
"Like I said my mom and I are going to the shelter." Fluttershy repeated for what felt like the thousandth time
"NO!" Creative cried out inftustration "Fluttershy we have been freinds since we were 6 years old! Hpw would you not know what happens then! Saturday is a Verry important day for me!"
"Me too!" Flutters replied with fake frustration, she was only pretending as you may know.
"But you cant go to the shelter!" CC exclaimed
"I can and I am!" Fluttershy replied
"But not Saturday!" CC argued
"And why not?" Fluttershy asked
"Because!" CC responded irritated at the other pegasuss. "You know what, forget it go ahead and go do what you want! I really don't care!" she said even though she did care that her best friend didn't realize how special the upcoming weekend was to her
"I'll see you later Flutters" she frowned before taking off into the sky and flying towards one of the castle windows.
Fluttershy shook her head with a light chuckle "Creative, you'll understand in time... I'm sorry but I'm doing this because we are such good friends and I have to do something for you." Fluttershy smiled and walked off to find her mother.
Fluttershy and BonBon walked through the castle as silently as possible. It was earlier than they normally woke up and BonBon had hoped to sleep a little more that day as it was Saturday, but alas with Fluttershy wanting to do something special for Creative Cloud she had to make sure it was perfect.
Soon the two made it out of the castle and into the streets of Canterlot towards a building that was old and commonly unoccupied, sort of like most of the buildings there since Discord had come into power.
When Fluttershy and BonBon got inside the building there were party decorations everywhere. There were tables set up and it looked like it would be an epical party
"Oh, this is so pretty" Fluttershy said in awe "CC is going to live it!"
"I'm sure she will" Fluttershy's adopted mother responded
"Thank you, mother"
"Oh, don't thank me." The yellow earth pony smiled "All the credit goes to a couple of party ponies who I hired for this."
"Well, they are really good at parties." Fluttershy responded still in awe
"Well we are professionals!" A bubbly pink mare exclaimed popping out of nowhere and startling the yellow pegasus
"Oops sorry!" The mare apologized "I didn't mean to startle you."
"Oh, um... It's okay" The shy pegasuss forgave her
"I'm Pinkie Pie by the way! What's you're name?"
"Oh, I'm Fluttershy." She said hiding behind her mane
"Hmm, that name sounds really familiar." Pinkie said pondering on where she may have heard it before
"Where's Cheese?" BonBon asked changing the subject. She knew this was dangerous and could really upset the king if he found out. If Pinkie remembered she'd tell Fluttershy and then they'd seek out the others and as much as Equestria needed that it couldn't happen, at least not yet.
"Oh," Pinkie said snapping out of her thoughts "He's..."
"Right here." The orange earth colt said coming down some stairs that led to a second floor.
"Oh, thank you so much!" Fluttershy smiled brightly "Thank you! CC is going to love it!"
Pinkie walked to give the filly a hug "Any thing for a freind!" Pinkie beamed
It was about 11 AM. CC sat sadly on a cotten candy cloud. This was supposed to be the best day ever for her... but it just wasnt the same. Her best freind had forgotten such a specail day, she just couldnt enjoy it without Fluttershy.
"Hey CC" Fluttershy's soft voice sounded behind the pink pegasus.
"hey flutters." CC mumbled sadly
"So, I was wondering if you want to come wirh me to the shelter?"
"Why?"
"Well, I just think we would have fun together." Fluttershy smiled at her friend
CC was still upset ay fluttershy nut she didnt want to hold a grudge so she nodded.
Fluttershy got realy exited and grabbed her best freind's hoof "Come on my mom is already there waiting!"
Fluttershy and CC flew quickly though CC still frowned. A few minutes later the two sister-like freinds arrived at an opd building rhat seemed abandoned but wasn't apparently.
Before Creative could notice fluttershy put a blindfold over CC's eyes.
"Fluttershy what..." CC rried to aske
"Trust me." Was all Fluttershy said as she led her pink pegasus freind into the building
When they got inside Fluttershy removed CC's blindfold but the room was pitch black... that is until Cheese Sandwich switched on the lights.
CC looked around and saw... party decorations pink and teal streamers, baloons and a banner that said 'Happy 12th Birthday Creative Cloud' There were a couple of presents on a table. CC's frown instantly turned into a smile.
"You remembered!"
"Of course I did." Fluttershy replied "You think I would forget you're birthday?"
"I thought you did..." CC replied honestly but her eyes dilled with happy tears. She hugfed her freind "Oh, thank you so much!"
"I also got you a couple of presents but the one I'd like to give to you first is this." Fluttershy smiled holding a little box wrapped in majenta wrapping paper.
Creative opened it and inside were a pair of earings, (her ears were peirced when she was 8) they wre both made from lego's most was blue bit there was a stripe of white netween the top lego and rhe middle one, there was also a little white peice on top. Along with the earings was a miniature blue box also made out of legos. It actually had lines on it for design and on the top it said 'Poleice Public Call Box'
"Oh, my gosh where did you find these?" CC asked in awe.
"I bought them at a lego store not too far put of canterlot. I saw them and instantly got them for you." Fluttershy explained
"Oh thank you."
And so the two freinds went about talking and celebrateing CC's birthday.
After the party Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich walked out of Canterlot side by side
"I know what tou did Marina." Pinkie pie said to.. somebody and since ot was the first time Cheese had seen he do it, it confused him.
'Yah and?'
Cheese was suprised by the voice coming from nowhere
"Why did you do that? I thought you wanted..."
'No Pinkie! NO spoilers!'
"I know But..."
'No! It's my birthday! Please dont spoil anything for the readers!"
"The who?" Cheese asked
"Readers." Pinkie responded before turning back ro me "Fine, I'll pretend to not remember anything... I'll wait till the time comes."
'Ugh good enough.'
