Twilight Sparkle blinked.

“You want to...”

“Yes!” interrupted Pinkie, as she bounced in place, a giant grin on her face.

“Pinkie, this is Princess Celestia that you’re talking about,” said Twilight, “you can’t just do those things to her.”

“Why not?” Pinkie cocked her head to the side.

“Because she’s Princess Celestia!” said Twilight Sparkle

“And you’re Princess Twilight Sparkle, and that doesn’t stop me from doing it to you.”

Twilight Sparkle shook her head.

“We’re friends, Pinkie. That’s a little different.”

“No it’s not! The first time I did it to you you didn’t even know my name. Or I told you and you forgot. Anyway! Not important!” said Pinkie, pulling out a large sheet of paper. “I have everything laid out perfectly!”

Twilight Sparkle studied the complex diagram, the heading of which read ‘Princess Celestia Ultimate Perfect Surprise Party version 3’

“Pinkie, what is that on step six?”

Pinkie craned her neck around, stared at the offending substance for a moment, and then smiled.

“Ooh, that might be frosting,” she said, and stuck her tongue out, licking the paper, “Yep, definitely frosting.”

Now that Twilight could read the full plan, she considered it. It wasn’t a bad plan, in any sense of the word, but Pinkie Pie had come up with it, which meant that the leaps of logic were a little odd sometimes.

“Pinkie, why does step twelve show you and Princess Celestia kissing?”

“Oh, because once I’m done with the surprise birthday party, then I can move into the big proposal and ask Princess Celestia to be my very special somepony then me and Celestia can make out forever and ever!”

“Celestia and I,” corrected Twilight by sheer force of habit, before she registered what Pinkie Pie had said.

“okay thanks Twilight I have a train to catch bye!” said Pinkie, dashing out of the castle. It was only after everything had settled back down that Twilight’s brain registered what Pinkie Pie had said.

“Pinkie,” started Twilight, but realised that her friend was no longer in the building, or probably in Ponyville, and sighed.

“But I was going to make out with Princess Celestia,” grumbled Twilight, magically pulling a thick folder entitled ‘How to Make out With Princess Celestia’ out of her desk, and dumping it in the bin.
