Finding your motivation in life can be tough when you live on a rock farm. Pinkamina's everyday consisted of nothing but gray skies and sad sighs for the major part of her foalhood. But when she met a certain white pegasus, things rapidly began to change.
First!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTT is an expression I don't usually use but this story is really good so I'm 'Surprised' (see what I did there?) that nobody has commented on it because it's really good rable rable rable
Dang son. Very impressed with this.
Have a mustache, have three mustaches
ohhhh! THIS is where all the comments are at :/
and My "first" in one of the chapters will forever be alone :C
I want to slap you and kiss you right now, so how about we settle for a thumbs up?
Bridge to Cloudsdale up in here. By the numbers Killed For A Caldecott. And despite my cynicism at these facts, every tear I've shed for this story is genuine. Why do I read these just before bedtime?
Okay, I teared up last chapter, but I didn't actually weep until Pinkie saw the cake. This is a fantastic story, a wonderful addition to both pony fiction and the world in general. Thank you for writing it.
As for Gummy being one year old in Party of One, I resolve it thusly: this was the first toothless alligator she owned, and Gummy is the second. Why must there be a gap? If this gator was Gummy, that would mean only a few months passed between when the mane six got their marks as fillies and when they teamed up against Nightmare Moon; since Applejack was "littler" than the CMC at the time, it's impossible for this to be Gummy.
*BAWL*
so sweet!
Nice chapter. I'm getting a sense that Pinkie is like Scootaloo in this story and she see Surprise as her idol like Scootaloo see Rainbow Dash as her Idol. If I get time again I will read the next chapter.
This has been added to the many stories here that have made me shed some manly tears, bravo on a good story!
Now this chapter I really like. I really don't know what else to say but good work.
This story makes feel so warm inside. I'm actually really liking this story.
After reading this, it'd be impossible for me to not remember this story and remember it's not canon. It's like the perfect origin story for Pinkie. If ever in the future Repo-men came to repo my heart, they'd only get a clump of Pinkie's mane out me.
Wow, this story has made me speechless, and i mean really speechless, this is one of the best stories i have ever read, it's better then best it's super fantastic
I knew this was coming.
Great story my friend. My only compliant is Gummy. I don't think she would have Gummy at that certain age unless she was depress for several years in bed. Other than that great story.
839114 Buck. Missed that point. Glad you pointed it out (never realized it was his 1 year birthday, but just saw it as a birthday)

That was awsome...
931628 Glad you liked it, despite it's few flaws ^^

Nah.
Alligator years. Waaaaayyyy different.
Thank you.
1069394 Such a short comment, yet it made me smile You're welcome.
Finally getting around to reading this.
Anyhow, this was a very nice start. Pre-rainboom Pinkie is a rather haunting character with her lack of... enthusiasm, yeah, that's the word.
But, it's late, so I'm off to bed. I'll hopefully be able to finish tomorrow.
THAT WAS SO ADORABLE! dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Bonbon_OMG_LOVE.png
Why do I get the feeling Pinkie is going to be in incredible amounts of trouble when she gets back home?
That was most excellent! So adorable! dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_smile.png
So why is there a Sad tag...?
Why did I have to ask about the Sad tag last chapter? Why!?
That was a very nice ending, doing justice to the whole story. Well done.
Now that I've finished, some final thoughts. This was a great story overall. Surprise's character was very well-done, Cup Cake's role was great, and the Pie family wasn't static like I thought they'd be. Rather, they developed along with Pinkie, which I thought was a great touch. Between this and Under Your Wings, you've written some great origin stories. I do hope you continue writing more stories, hopefully of the origin variety. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra2.png
1102479 Awesome to see your progress through my story. I felt almost bad when I saw the "So why is there a sad tag" comment, and the final concluding comment with feedback on my characterizations was incredibly useful (it's difficult to make a character enticing, even if they are our all time favorite ponies )
Alligator years could apply instead of human/pony years!
I don't know, if it means something, but we gave your fanfic full 5-star rating in our small project "FANFIC Review". It's fully in russian, but still.

1550358 Means a lot to me. I'm happy that people appreciate what I've written :)
This story should be one of the most famous in the whole fandom. And I really mean it.
1939887 Appreciate it, though there really are a lot of good ones in this fandom ^^
Can't believe this isn't better known, Great Pinkie pie origin story. top marks
Damn, I'm glad I found this!
heheh, no wonder no one read my story, this came out at about the same time!
2286521 Haha. Sorry :P
This story was absolutely....AMAZING.
AMAZING.
I am at a loss for words right now, since there are still tears flowing down my face. And I've read some pretty sad stuff.
This rivals the saddest story I ever read. I'm dead serious.
I can't favourite this enough, and I can't hold back these tears in the slightest. Absolutely incredible work. This doesn't have anywhere NEAR the amount of likes it should have. This is a masterpiece.
Pinkie's first party, and her life changed for the better. job well done Surprise, job well done.
R.I.P. Surprise may you always live on in our hearts
