Anyone or anything who knows of Pinkie Pie cannot think of a better party planner. The super duper party pony has planned, held, and participated in parties of just about any kind or occasion that anyone could think of.
So when Golden Harvest wants a party because she's getting divorced from a stallion she constantly argues with, she knows exactly who to turn to. But Pinkie doesn't think a divorce is a reason to party at all. She doesn't see the end of a nightmare; she sees the death of true love. Can Pinkie get past her own objections and make the party happen, or will there be lasting bitter feelings from the carrot farmer toward the party planner as well?
Has some comedic material, 'cuz with Pinkie as the focus it's impossible to fully avoid. Rated Teen for subject matter. Screncapped a still from the episode Maud Pie for the cover art.
Oh dear... do I want to subject myself to this right now?

From what I've seen from your posts...waiting might be wise.
Divorce is a topic that can be hard to many. Whether it's a friend you may know, or yourself, it's never an easy ride. And I just have to say that I am absolutely astounded by your work.
All of Pinkie's feelings, from shock to sadness, just activate at exactly the right time, and I'm honesty impressed. Mrs. Cake's mother-like concern only causing my jaw to drop even lower.
I'm new on this site, this account just being given to me today, and this is actually the first story I've read on here. And I just have to say, what a wonderful story it was.
I'll be keeping an eye out for you, good sir.

Many thanks for your kind words and assessment.
I know how you feel my friend
Dude, this hits home. My mother is happily divorced as well. Really nice job of capturing that emotion.
I haven't divorced myself, but I was in the same household as one who did. It wasn't a pleasant thing to listen to because even when they weren't arguing, I could feel the tension in the air. It certainly is a rough time.
Let's just say no one gets married expecting to get divorced but sometimes it doesn't work. When that happens it's probably best to cut your losses and walk away.
My parents never got divorced -but IMO it would have been one Hell of a lot better for everyone if they had.
That long description of the cake Pinkie Pie made was actually funny, I don't know if you wrote that part to be funny or not but it gave me a good laugh!
This was... Hands down... the greatest Pinkie story I have ever read on this site. Thank you so much for such a fantastic story.
enjoyable read. I like how you capture both pinkie pies randomness and the fact she wears her heart on her sleeve.
From a personal perspective the story had a good emotional impact as my own parents divorced when I was around the age of 10. It's hard to make sense of when your a kid or even an outsider when everything is behind closed doors.
So congratulations on writing an enjoyable story! You got me right in the feels.
you dropped a thingy here.

Crap...! Thought I weeded all of those out. Thanks.

Wow...I'm touched you feel that way about my work. Thank you very much!
as much as I love the Rocky Top reference I'm pretty sure corn from a jar refers to moonshine
But seriously, I did like this one. It felt so real.
A good introspective fiction
I think it's a shame that the reasons for divorce are so common...
Thanks for writing.
Divorce is definitely worth celebrating. I'd rather two people own up and admit a marriage isn't working than stay together and be miserable. Sure, maybe try some counseling first, but if it doesn't work, please just split. Yeah, it sucks when marriages fail, but it's better than spousal murder.
Really, people just have to stop diving into marriage so quickly; let the love hormones fade away, move in with each other for a few years, and then see how you actually feel. Without the chemicals clouding your judgement, making you mistake lust for a deep connection, can you still look at your partner and think, Yes, I want to spend the rest of my life with this person. If so, than go for it, but do not marry after a few months.
An acquaintance of mine dated his girlfriend for nine months before getting married when they turned 18. He's already come into work with a busted fist because he punched a stud. His wife busted her pinkie beating on him. They now have a kid on the way and they are miserable.

Ick. Sorry to hear about that person you know. Sounds to me like they may be past the point of counseling. Hopefully they'll learn to communicate in future relationships.
That's something m' wife had down that many others didn't get, is communication. It's essential for any kind of relationship (working, business, friends, romance) for it to work and be sustainable.
So should it be celebrated when it all goes awry? Maybe...but I'm more in agreement with you, that they ought to take some time to get that figured out before tying the knot. M' wife and I have been hitched for seven years, and been together for a total of ten. And we have yet to have a screaming match, because we know each other well, and communicate before we reach that point.
huh i wouldnt have pegged mrs. cake as such a prude
This was very well written. Sometimes divorce should be celebrated. One of my closest friends went through a nasty divorce (the guy was a total POS, abusive to her and actively tried to turn their son against her). He trashed the house upon moving out, has shirked paying child support and has nothing to do with his son. Thankfully my friend has since remarried to a man who is a wonderful dad and stepdad and is able to afford her pit bull of an attorney's fees. You better believe she went out to a celebratory dinner with her mom and sister, complete with champagne, the minute the divorce was finalized.

I do appreciate how you showed that although there might come times where divorce is necessary, that doesn't mean it's good, any more than an amputation is "good". You're prose could use a little work, but your plot and story as a whole were well done.

Thanks for spotting the typos.
In what way does m' prose need work? I'd appreciate more precise feedback, as I cannot improve without knowing what could be better.
7521475 Well, since you asked so nicely, some of the non-dialogue parts, especially early on, seemed to be a little too much telling instead of showing. You also didn't have a very good hook for the beginning. Other than that, I think part of the reason I was a little bugged was because I was a bit tired.
It looks a lot better in the day, and the few problems that remain probably just need practice.

Gotcha. I'll give it a revamp when I have time. Thanks for the insight.
