On another glorious day in Ponyville where the sun was shining and everypony was out enjoying the weather Zach Lanson and Twilight Sparkle were at the library reading books and learning new spells to conquer. Just then their door knocks and they opened it to see Pinkie Pie.

"Oh! Hi, Pinkie Pie…" Twilight greeted.

"What brings you-" Zach was then cut off as Pinkie starts to sing another song with a party hat on her head and a clown nose.

"This is your singing telegram

I hope it finds you well

You're invited to a party

'Cause we think you're really swell!" Pinkie sang with Zach and Twilight staring blankly. She brings along her baby alligator pet Gummy who also is wearing a small party hat and happens to be his first birthday as he comes along with Pinkie to pass invitations while changing different attires at each place they go to. They come to Rarity's wearing black musician suits with top hats.

"Gummy's turning one year old

So help us celebrate

The cake will be delicious

The festivities first-rate!" Pinkie sang another verse to Rarity as she too gives a confused look. They move on to Applejack's where confetti and streamers flow to the ground from an exploding confetti machine Pinkie is wearing as Gummy catches a streamer.

"There will be games and dancing

Bob for apples, cut a rug

And when the party's over

We'll gather 'round for a group hug!" Pinkie sang as Applejack gives a blank expression too. Soon they borrow Zach and Twilight's hot air balloon in order to get up to Rainbow Dash's house in the sky with Gummy holding on to the balloon with his mouth.

"No need to bring a gift

Being there will be enough

Birthdays mean having fun with friends

Not getting lots of stuff!" Pinkie sang this time however she was getting really tired from singing with Dash staring confusingly as well. Their final destination is at Fluttershy's cottage where she wears a birthday cake suit and hat getting really fatigued with Gummy on her back.

"It won't be the same without you

So we hope that you say yes

So, please, oh please R.S.V.P

And come, and be our guest!" Pinkie finally finished and let herself fall to the ground in exhaustion with Fluttershy looking down in worry. The two managed to return to Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie slowly walks upstairs to her room weakly where the party is already set up their.

"Next time, I think I'll just pass out written invitations." Pinkie noted in a dry voice and let herself collapse to the ground with Gummy landing on top waiting for their guests to arrive to celebrate a party thrown by the one and only Pinkie Pie party thrower extraordinaire.

-Main music plays-

Soon the guests arrive and the party had just begun in Pinkie's room as Zach, Twilight, and Pinkie dance to the music playing while Applejack and Dash bobbed for apples and Fluttershy and Rarity talking about their latest activities. Applejack managed to catch an apple from the water filled bucket and eats it whole.

"Nice one! Now, let me show you how it's really done." Dash said as she prepares herself to bob for an apple.

"Hey, girls!" Pinkie greeted.

"Hey, Pinkie Pie!" Dash greeted back.

"Howdy!" Applejack joined.

"[squeal] Just wanted to tell you how happy I am that you can make it to Gummy's party." Pinkie said joyfully.

"Are you kiddin'? Ah wouldn't have missed it for the world." Applejack said.

"Me neither. When Pinkie Pie throws a party, I am there!" Dash declared and dived her head in the bucket and resurfaces with an apple in her teeth.

"Ta-da!" Dash muffled through the apple in her mouth.

"Aw! It's just a boring old apple. Don't worry, there are plenty of other surprises in there." Pinkie assured which made Dash spit out the apple at Applejack's face.

"What kind of surprises?" Dash asked excitingly.

"I can't tell you that, silly. Then it wouldn't be a surprise." Pinkie said playfully and the two look in the water with curiosity and dipped their heads into the water. Applejack managed to catch a green apple but it appears to be on a spring and pulls her back into the bucket. Dash comes out with Gummy nearly devouring her whole face which made Applejack chuckle from the sight and Dash sends Gummy away with an embarrassed look encompassing her. Rarity sips the remains of her punch and Pinkie comes over and kindly pours more in for her.

"This punch is simply divine. Is this the same recipe you used for your 'Spring Has Sprung' party?" Rarity asked.

"Nope! Something new." Pinkie answered. They look at the punch bowl and sees Gummy lying in it which made Rarity's eyes widened in realization on what it is and spat it at Pinkie's face without even flinching keeping a gleeful smile.

"It's Gummy's favorite." Pinkie said. Rarity looked at Zach and Twilight nearby with a worried look and Zach patted his cheek with his hoof signaling to hold it in. Hesitantly Rarity gulped nervously and started sipping the punch holding it in her cheeks just as new music starts playing.

"Ooh, this is my jam!" Pinkie stated before rushing to dance to the beat as Rarity comes to a nearby plant and spits out the tainted punch. Pinkie joins Zach, Twilight, and Fluttershy as they dance to the catchy music.

"Having fun?" Pinkie asked.

"A blast!" Twilight answered.

"Absolutely!" Zach agreed.

"You always throw the best parties, Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy joined.

"They're always the best parties 'cause my best friends are always there!" Pinkie declared happily. As they dance Pinkie accidentally bumps Zach, Twilight and Fluttershy sending them flying to the walls. Zach manged to absorb Twilight's impact saving her from some pain stuck in the wall in a star shape. Fluttershy managed to get herself out dizzingly but managed to maintain her composure.

"C'mon, everypony! Gummy wants to dance! Go, Gummy! It's your birthday! Go, Gummy! It's your birthday!" Pinkie cheered as the group gathered around Gummy as he just waggles his tail to the beat while the others continue to dance and have fun. Later that night the gang got to the point of finishing up the night and head for their homes with Pinkie watching from the window of her room.

"Hooie! Ah am beat! I haven't danced that much since... Well, since your last party. Thanks again for the invite!" Applejack thanked as she leaves.

"See ya later, birthday alligator!" Dash said leaving as well with Fluttershy and Rarity by her sides.

"Bravo for hosting yet another delightful soirée." Rarity complimented.

"It's been lovely." Fluttershy added.

"You sure you don't wanna stay? There's still some cake left." Pinkie offered to Zach and Twilight.

"Uh, I think we're gonna pass." Twilight declined.

"Yeah, we're pretty tired from all the awesome dancing." Zach said.

"Great party though. We should do this again soon." Twilight added and the two leave giving Pinkie an idea from the last statement.

"[gasp] We should do this again soon!" Pinkie agreed excitingly. The next morning the sun rises with birds chirping from the awakening of dawn. Zach was up early and was on his way to Sweet Apple Acres to... prepare for something.

"Okay, I better get head to AJ's to get ready early. I can't believe we're actually doing-" Zach was caught off guard by a shear surprise.

"It's soon!" Pinkie announced in front of Zach with a basket hat on her head with invitations in it startling him and made him jump with a shout.

"Oh. Morning Pinkie, and... what?" Zach asked confusingly.

"It's soon! After hearing Twilight mentioning about having another party soon, I thought of throwing another party at the time and right now, it's soon." Pinkie said offering a invitation to Zach and he opens it with his unicorn magic.

"'You're invited to 'Gummy's After-Birthday' party. This afternoon at 3 o'clock?'" Zach read which made him widened his eyes at the last part.

"Is it exciting? I'm going to be inviting everypony again and we'll have much more fun than the last!" Pinkie declared.

"Uh, this afternoon? As in this afternoon this afternoon?" Zach asked nervously.

"Yes siree!"

"Umm, I would love to, really, but I... uh... have to work on my spells and techniques. Yeah, that's it. Got to work on them to get stronger, right?"

"Oh, I see. That's alright, no worries! Having the rest of the pony gang is still party occupation!" Pinkie said as she hops her way to the library. Zach sighs in relief as she's out of sight and resumes his trip to Sweet Apple Acres. Soon at the library Twilight remained asleep in her bed until she heard knocking on the door. She wakes up tiredly with her hair mussed and walks to the door. She opens it to see Pinkie.

"Oh! Hi, Pinki-" Twilight greeted.

"It's soon!" Pinkie declared scaring Twilight making her hair stick up in shear surprise.

"Pardon me?"

"You said we should have another party soon, and... it's soon! Here's your invitation!"

"'You're invited to 'Gummy's After-Birthday' party. This afternoon at 3 o'clock?'"

"All our bestest friends are invited, and there's gonna be dancing, and games, and cake, and ice-cream, and punch!"

"This afternoon? As in, this afternoon this afternoon?"

"Yes, indeedy!"

"Oh, gosh. I wish I could make it, but I've gotten a bit behind in my studies. I've really gotta hit the books." Twilight said using her magic and making a huge pile of books behind her.

"I understand. Your studies come first. But don't worry, we'll be sure to save you some cake." Pinkie said while departing.

"Please do."

"Oh! And Twilight, you shouldn't hit the books. You should really just read them."

"I'll keep that in mind." Twilight said with a smile. At Sweet Apple Acres Applejack starts pulling three connected carts full of apples she harvested and was taking them to the barn until Pinkie's head pops out of the haystack near the entrance.

"Huh? Oh, hi, Pinkie Pie! What brings you 'round these parts?" Applejack asked.

"Who's ready to shake their hoof-thang?!" Pinkie asked shaking her flank to emphasize as Applejack takes an invitation from Pinkie's basket hat.

"It's an invitation to 'Gummy's After-Birthday' party this afternoon. There's gonna be dancing, and games, and cake, and ice-cream, and punch!"

"This afternoon? A-as in, this afternoon this afternoon?"

"That's funny. That's just what Zach and Twilight said, and the answer is, Yes! It's this afternoon!"

"Uh, well, ah... ah... uh... ah don't think I can make it 'cause... uh... ah have to... uh... uh, you know what? Ah... uh... pick apples! Yep, apples! 'Cause that's what we do! With the... apples. We, uh... pick 'em!" Applejack stuttered as she tried to come up with an excuse with a nervous smile. Pinkie starts staring at Applejack suspiciously knowing that this is the element of honesty she's talking to and she rarely makes a lie. Applejack chuckled nervously and gulped as Pinkie intensifies her stare.

"Okey dokey lokey! A party is still a party, even if there are only three guests." Pinkie said changing her expression to a gleeful one and trots off with Applejack sighing in relief.

"Is she gone?" Zach whispered appearing from the barn.

"Yeah."

"[sigh] Good. That was a close one. Okay, we have to hurry this up faster than anticipated. Who knows how well the others will be handling it?" Zach urged as they worked on something inside the barn. At Carousel Boutique Spike helps Rarity take the dirty trash out grunting as he slides it out to the streets but getting him smelly and dirty in the process.

"Anything else I can do for you, most beautiful one?" Spike asked dreamily. Rarity sniffs Spike and pulls away from the foul smell with a whimper.

"Hmm... perhaps you could take a bath. How do I put this delicately? You smell like a rotten apple core that's been wrapped in moldy hay, and dipped in dragon perspiration." Rarity stated and despite the comment Spike sighed dreamily and floats in the air with a dreamy smile. Rarity pushes the floating dragon away sending him back to the library. Pinkie then appears next to Rarity watching Spike go and Rarity notices Pinkie with her basket hat.

"Ooh! Love the new hat. Very modern. What's the occasion?" Rarity asked.

"Gummy's after-birthday party is this afternoon. I'm delivering the invitations." Pinkie answered.

"The party is this afternoon? As in, this afternoon this afternoon?"

"Oh... do they?"

"I know it's short notice, but we had such a great time at his birthday party, I thought we could have even more fun at his after-birthday party."

"And I'm sure that we would, but I'm going to have to decline. I have to... wash my hair!"

"Don't be silly, your hair doesn't look dirty."

"It doesn't?"

"Nope!" Pinkie assured. This made Rarity take things into drastic measures and rushes to the trash can. She hesitated for a moment until regrettably dunked her head into the filthy pile of garbage.

"See? [belch] Dirty! I have to go!" Rarity quickly ran into the boutique and slams the door leaving Pinkie confused.

"Huh... No Zach, No Twilight, no Applejack, no Rarity. Oh well, a party is still a party even with only two guests." Pinkie said happily. She moves on to Fluttershy's cottage where both Fluttershy and Dash are at and received the party invites.

"This afternoon?" Dash asked.

"As in-?" Fluttershy was about to ask the same question.

"Yes! As in, this afternoon this afternoon!" Pinkie finished knowing what she was going to say.

"Oh, man! We'd love to, but... we're... house-sitting this afternoon." Dash excused nervously.

"[sigh] Both of you?" Pinkie asked sadly.

"It's... uh... a big house." Fluttershy explained as Dash writes a fake watch on her hoof with a pencil.

"Uh, look at the time! We'd really better get going." Dash said as she and Fluttershy were about to fly away.

"Wait! Maybe I could bring you some after-birthday cake and ice-cream. Who're you house-sitting for?" Pinkie asked.

"Harry." Dash answered.

"Harry?" Pinkie asked.

"Yeah, I don't think you know him."

"That's strange. I know just about everypony around here."

"He's... a bear." Fluttershy added.

"A bear?" Pinkie asked with Fluttershy giving a wink at Dash.

"Yup! He's a bear all right, and he'll be pretty upset if we don't get over to his house soon." Dash said just as the two pegasi were about to leave again.

"Wait! There's a bear around here who lives in a house?" Pinkie asked curiously.

"It's, uh, really more of a cave." Fluttershy explained nervously.

"But he's fixed up the place so much it feels like a house." Dash said.

"And, uh, he wants us to look after his house... uh, cave... while he's, uh..."

"A-at the beach!"

"He's vacationing at the beach?" Pinkie asked confusingly.

"Yup! He loves to..." Fluttershy tried to think of something along with Dash.

"Collect sea shells! ...Play beach volleyball! ...Collect volleyballs!" Fluttershy said with Dash saying the complete opposite.

"Play beach volleyball! ...Collect sea shells! ...Play sea shells!" Dash said with Fluttershy also stating the opposite of what she said and the two flew still with nervous looks on them.

"Gotta go!" Dash said and with that she and Fluttershy flew off leaving Pinkie dazed and confused about her friends. She returns to her home lying on the ground while thinking over the suspicious acts from her friends as Gummy plays with a ball of yarn.

"Something strange is definitely going on around here, Gummy. Sure Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had to house-sit for that vacationing bear, but what are the chances all my other friends would have plans this afternoon too? Rarity has to wash her hair? Zach has to practice his spells? Applejack has to pick apples? Twilight is behind on her studies, and has to hit the books? The more I think about it, the more those are starting to sound like... [gasp] excuses!" Pinkie declared shockingly while resting by her window. At that moment she noticed something rather peculiar and hid half of her head under the window but kept eye sight on what she's witnessing. It was Twilight tip toeing her way to the bakery looking around her to make sure no one is watching her and Pinkie sees her enter.

"That doesn't look like studying... or hitting!" Pinkie said making a suspecting look on the situation. Meanwhile downstairs Twilight hits the desk bell and Mrs. Cake comes in from the kitchen.

"Ooh! You must be here for-" Mrs. Cake was about to assume something until Twilight stopped her.

"Shh! Is Pinkie Pie around?" Twilight whispered.

"Oh, I don't think so." Mrs. Cake said.

"Good. I don't wanna her to know anything about this." Twilight said just the moment an empty tin can with a string attached to it lowered between the two without noticing.

"Yes, of course. I'll be right back." Mrs. Cake said as she heads back to the kitchen with Pinkie listening from above.

"But... we're friends. What wouldn't Twilight want me to know anything about? [gasp] She's coming back." Pinkie said to herself hearing Mrs. Cakes steps.

"There you go." Mrs. Cake said giving Twilight something.

"Thanks, and remember, not a word to Pinkie Pie. Hey! What's with the tin can?" Twilight notices the can and started yanking it pulling Pinkie down. Pinkie pulled back with more force thus snapping her can and sends the one below to Twilight's snout with a yelp. The can was stuck on Twilight's snout and mouth and was able to push it back with the parts keeping the shape of the can. After readjusting herself she continued tip toeing secretly through the streets of town with a box on her back making sure Pinkie isn't in sight. Little did she know though Pinkie was following not too far behind with Gummy determined to find out what she's hiding along with the others.

"Time to get to the bottom of things!" Pinkie said and put on a glasses mustache nose disguise and follows cautiously. At one point Twilight looked back just the moment Pinkie hid behind a market stand hoping Twilight didn't see her. Gummy accidentally fell off of Pinkie landing in eye sight but Pinkie managed to pull Gummy back before Twilight resumed sneaking to wherever she's going.

"[gasp] I think our cover's been blown! We'll need a new disguise." Pinkie whispered. Twilight sneaks her way to Carousel Boutique and rings the door bell with Rarity coming out suspiciously looking around to make sure no one's watching.

"She didn't see you at the sweet shop, did she?" Rarity whispered.

"I don't think so." Twilight whispered back.

"Oh, good. I'd hate for her to ruin everything."

"Me too." Twilight agreed. She slid the box off near Rarity and walked off. Rarity stepped in front of the box and secretly tip toed to town with it in her curly tail. Pinkie hid in a haystack and managed to get some eye sight after hearing the conversation. Gummy pops out on top of her and sneezed from the hay. Soon Rarity arrives at an alley way where Fluttershy has been waiting and winked at her with Pinkie not too far behind wearing a coat and hat on the haystack.

"Have you seen her?" Rarity whispered.

"Not since this morning." Fluttershy replied quietly.

"Me neither. Can you believe she was planning on throwing an after-birthday party today?"

"I'm just glad I was able to come up with an excuse for why I couldn't be there."

"Me too! This is obviously going to be so much better." Rarity stated. Hearing this just wants to make Pinkie cry.

"As long as we keep her from finding out about it, it will." Fluttershy reminded with Rarity nodding in agreement. Rarity sets the box down and was about to leave.

"See you later!" Rarity whispered and left with Fluttershy taking the box and approached Pinkie's direction. Pinkie noticed this and tried to hop away in the hay but crashed into a wall and was tumbling back bumping into Fluttershy. After regaining her composure she gasps to the haystack wearing a coat and hat with eyes. This made her scream and took off with the box.

"I thought everypony loved my parties." Pinkie said glumly.

"Hi, Pinkie Pie! ...Uh-oh!" Dash walks by and realizes it was Pinkie under the hay and flew off in a hurry.

"Rainbow Dash! Wait!" Pinkie called out trying to catch up while hopping in the hay. Dash flies a couple corners to try and lose her and slows down thinking she did with a sigh of relief.

"Where're you going?!" Pinkie pops out of a barrel angrily and Dash shouts from the surprise before flying away again. She flies her way to the school bell hiding under it. Somehow however Pinkie was already waiting for her as the clapper.

"What's the real reason you didn't want to come to Gummy's party?!" Pinkie demanded an answer startling Dash again. She zooms out and tries heading for the tallest sight at the mountains. She struggles to climb on the cliff until a pink hoof was offered to her and accepts it only to find Pinkie was again a step ahead of her and glares at her furiously. She notices the saddle bags strapped around her.

"WHAT'S IN THOSE BAGS?!" Pinkie screamed. Dash flies off again with Pinkie following. At Sweet Apple Acres Applejack was about to head into the barn until she notices rainbow and pink streaks approaching from the distance.

"Applejack! We have a problem!" Dash said flying to the barn with Pinkie somehow managing to keep up with the speeding pegasus. Applejack gasped and quickly shut the barn doors just as Dash entered. Pinkie stops at the door and starts banging her head on the door.

"I know you're IN THERE!" Pinkie shouted in pure anger as Applejack opens the door.

"Oh! Howdy, pardn'r!" Applejack greeted trying to keep a straight face.

"Mind if I... take a look inside the barn?" Pinkie asked still expressing how enraged she is.

"No! Uh, I mean, yes, I mean... you can't come in here!"

"Rainbow Dash just went in there."

"Oh, well, she was just bringin' in some... supplies! Yup, supplies for the... renovation! Fixin' up the whole thing, top to bottom... uh, lots of construction goin' on in there right now."

"You heard her! Construction!" Dash whispered just loud enough for Pinkie to hear as they do construction noises while Applejack tries to hold an uneasy smile to an angry Pinkie. She knew she was being lied to and tried to get a good view on what they're really doing in there but Applejack blocks her view. She tried seeing from the top by extending her neck but Applejack repeated the action. Pinkie then tried forcing her head in against Applejack's nose with Applejack trying to push back in a battle to see what's in the barn. In one last attempt of desperation Applejack had no choice but to slam the door right on Pinkie's neck preventing her from entering any further. Pinkie pulls herself out of the door dizzyingly.

"Yup! Construction! That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. [nervous laugh]" Applejack laughed uneasily with Pinkie raising her eyebrows as Applejack gives out another gulp. Pinkie intensifies her look which made Applejack hold her smile by just a thread. After moments of intense staring Pinkie decided to let it go for now.

"Okey... dokey... lokey." Pinkie said slowly before walking away as Applejack sighs in relief. Pinkie suddenly comes back with her nose against Applejack's again before leaving again with a watching eye on her. Again Applejack sighed along with the rest of the gang inside. Back at Ponyville Pinkie paces back and forth with Gummy watching blankly.

"Secrets and lies! It's all secrets and lies with those ponies! They're up to something, Gummy! Something they don't want me to know about! Well, I'm gonna know about it! I'm gonna know about it big time! And I know just who's gonna tell me all about it. Tell me all about it BIG TIME!" Pinkie declared determinedly. She was talking about Spike who thinks he is in the whole part as well. She shows him a whole plate of gems at her house which made Spike widened his eyes in delight.

"Wow! Nice spread!" Spike said.

"It's all yours, Spike." Pinkie said just before she brings a spotlight over and pulls Spike's tail to Gummy and bites on it holding Spike into place on the chair as the lights turned off and the spotlight turning on Spike's face in an uncomfortable bright beam.

"All you have to do is talk." Pinkie instructed in an interrogating look.

"That's it? Oh, you got it. Okay... uh, beautiful weather we're having, eh? I love sunny spring day, don't you? The birds chirpin' and the flowers bloomin'."

"No, no, no. Talk about our friends."

"Oh? Okay. Let's see, there's Twilight Sparkle. She's a unicorn. Good with magic. A real brainiac. And then you got Rarity. Total knock-out. Zach and Twilight seem to think I don't even have a chance with her, but... eh, what do they know? Let's see. There's... there's Fluttershy, a Pegasus who's afraid of heights. Heh, what's up with that?"

"Grr! No! You're not understanding me! I want you to confess!" Pinkie explained frustratedly.

"Confess?" Spike asked confusingly.

"Confess!"

"I'm the one who spilled juice all over Twilight's copy of 'Magical Mysteries and Practical Potions'!"

"And?"

"And I'm the one who used up all the hot water in Ponyville yesterday when I took a seven-hour bubble bath!"

"Aaand?"

"And sometimes... when no one's around... I do this: Lookin' good, Spike! Lookin' real good!" Spike said to himself after grabbing a mirror and posing himself in front of it making Pinkie blink a couple times but shook her head.

"No! No! No! NO!" Pinkie shouts angrily pushing the mirror away.

"W-What you wanna hear? Tell me what you want me to say, and I'll say it!" Spike said.

"Tell me that my friends are all lying to me and avoiding me because they don't like my parties, and they DON'T WANT TO BE MY FRIENDS ANYMORE!" Pinkie screams in absolute rage frightening Spike a bit as she pants in uncontrollable anger.

"Your friends are all lying to you and avoiding you 'cause they don't like your parties and they don't want to be your friends anymore!" Spike repeated Pinkie's words as she wanted to hear.

"Ah-ha! I knew it!" Pinkie said in triumph. But after realizing what she wanted to hear her suddenly deflates into her original long style mane and darker gloomier pink from so long ago and turned into a depressed look.

"Oh no, my friends don't like my parties and they don't want to be my friends anymore." Pinkie repeated her own words in complete sadness.

"Uh... so..." Spike wanted to know if he can have the plate of gems now and Pinkie slides the plate over to him and Spike starts munching on the jewels happily while Pinkie sighs in sadness. Later after Spike finished eating his treat and leaving Pinkie alone she calls over her other friends.

"Thank you all so much for coming! It means so much to Gummy." Pinkie thanked with a smile. She apparently is talking to a bucket of turnips, a lint of dust, a pile of rocks, and a bag of flour sitting on chairs in front of a table with cake and Gummy sitting in the front all wearing party hats.

"Could I have some more punch?" Pinkie comes over the bucket of turnips with a deep voice making some psycho looking eyes.

"Well, of course you can have some more punch, Mr. Turnip." Pinkie said in her normal happy like voice and gave the bucket a cup of punch. She twitched and moved to the pile of rocks.

"This is one great party! You really outdone yourself!" Pinkie said in a deep New York like accent.

"Why, thank you, Rocky." Pinkie thanked and moved to the lint of dust.

"I'm having a delightful time as well." Pinkie stated for the lint in a suave like voice.

"I'm so glad Sir Lintsalot." Pinkie said and twitched again and moved behind the bag of flour moving it like it's alive as well.

"Might I trouble you for anozer slice of cake?" Pinkie asked in a high pitched voice in a French like voice.

"Anything for you, Madame Le Flour." Pinkie assured a slid over a slice of cake to the flour.

"I'm just glad none of them ponies showed up." Pinkie mimicked the pile of rocks from under the table.

"Oh, they're not so bad." Pinkie assured but her eyes suddenly started going in opposite directions looking she's about to go insane and in that split second she starts imagining her fake friends to life.

"Not so bad? Please! They're a buncha losers!" Rocky stated bitterly.

"Oh, c'mon now. 'Losers' might be a little strong, don'cha think?" Pinkie asked.

"After the way they treated you? I say 'losers' isn't strong enough." Sir Lintsalot said.

"Well, it was pretty rude..." Pinkie agreed.

"Pretty rude? It was downright deespicable!" Madame Le Flour exclaimed slapping the flappy corner on the table.

"It was, wasn't it?" Pinkie asked in anger.

"If I were you, I wouldn't speak to them ever again." Mr. Turnip advised.

"You know what? I'm not gonna speak to them ever again. And I'm not gonna invite them to another party as long as I live! They don't deserve to be invited to my parties. Not after the way they've been acting." Pinkie announced and her imaginary characters started cheering in support. But in reality she was acting for them the whole time thinking they were real. Just then there was knocking at her door.

"Who could that be?" Pinkie wondered. She sees through her heart shaped door hole and to her disappointment sees Zach and Dash with smiles on them and opened the door.

"Hey there, Pinkie Pie! Sorry I was in such a rush earlier. Had some place to be and couldn't slow down and say, 'Hello'. You know how it goes." Dash said.

"I know how it goes, all right!" Pinkie said through her angered gritting teeth.

"Yeah... so, why don't you come with us over to Sweet Apple Acres?" Dash asked.

"No thanks. I'm spending time with my real friends. Isn't that right, Madame Le Flour?" Pinkie asked.

"Oui! Zat iz correct, madame." Pinkie answered as the bag of flour.

"Uh... Pinkie Pie?" Dash asked in concerned worry.

"Are... you..." Zach couldn't finish the question after seeing the disturbing sight.

"Another slice of cake, Sir Lintsalot?" Pinkie asked.

"I'd love one." Pinkie answered as the lint of dust while Gummy bounces on a baloon near Zach and Dash startling the two a bit.

"Aaallrighty. What do you say we get out of Creepytown and head over to Applejack's-" Dash walked over to help Pinkie but pushes the bucket of turnips in their path.

"She's not going anywhere." Pinkie said as the bucket of turnips.

"I most certainly am not. I'm having a wonderful time right here." Pinkie said and went under the table.

"You should really just come with us." Dash said.

"We have something to show you at-" Zach was about to explain but Pinkie doesn't want to hear it as she scoots the pile of rocks in front of the two.

"You heard the lady! She ain't goin' nowheres, chump!" Pinkie insulted as the pile of rocks.

"Who you calling a chump, chump?!" Dash countered the rocks pushing the pile of rocks down forgetting the fact they're not alive.

"[snicker] You do realize you were talking to a rock, right?" Zach chuckled.

"Ugh... That's it. Party's over. Come on, Pinkie Pie!" Dash ordered flying behind Pinkie with her getting out from under the table.

"No!" Pinkie rejected childishly.

"Pinkie Pie, let's go!" Dash urged irritatedly.

"You're acting like a child!" Zach joined also getting annoyed.

"I said, NO!" Pinkie rejected again like a spoiled brat. Dash took matters into her own hooves and tried to force her out from behind.

"You... [grunts] have to... come with... us!" Dash urged trying to push the counterattacking Pinkie.

"No... I... DON'T!" Pinkie again declines pushing Dash out of balance and sits right on Dash's head. She struggles to get out from under and Zach comes over pulling Dash from the tail and eventually got her free sending both ponies to the table getting slices of cake on their heads.

"Oh, you wanna do this the hard way?! We'll do this the hard way!" Zach and Dash said angrily in unison. Zach used his magic to levitate a revolting Pinkie along with Gummy trying to shake herself out of the spell but gave up after seeing they arrived at the barn in Sweet Apple Acres.

"We're here!" Dash shouted.

"Don't ask how!" Zach added and they opened the doors with Pinkie still keeping a mad expression.

"Surprise!" the rest of the group shouted excitedly in unison. Pinkie couldn't believe what she was seeing with an angry look as Zach and Dash push her in with her hooves skidding the ground. As they push her near the group waiting to hear a response she gives the group a very displeased face.

"I really thought she'd be more excited." Fluttershy admitted.

"Excited? EXCITED? Why would I be excited to attend my own farewell party?!" Pinkie shouts in anger scaring the others.

"What are you talking about?" Zach asked concernedly.

"Farewell party?" Twilight asked confusingly.

"Yes! You don't like me anymore, so you decided to kick me out of the group and throw a great, big party to celebrate! A 'Farewell to Pinkie Pie' party!" Pinkie said sitting on the ground sadly.

"Why in the world would you think we didn't like you anymore, sugarcube?" Applejack asked calmly.

"Why? Why? WHY? Because you've been lying to me and avoiding me all day, that's why!" Pinkie explained in anger.

"Um... yeah, but we're not throwing this party for that ridiculous reason." Zach assured soothingly.

"Yeah! Because we wanted your party to be a surprise." Dash added slyly.

"We've been planning this party for such a long time. We had to make excuses for why we couldn't attend Gummy's party, so that we could get everything ready for yours." Rarity explained playing with a yellow balloon as she goes.

"If this is a farewell party, why does the cake I picked up from Sugarcube Corner say, 'Happy Birthday, Pinkie Pie'?" Twilight asked. After hearing these Pinkie looked around the room carefully trying to put the puzzle together. The presents, the balloons, birthday banners, and the cake with her smiling face on it including the writing Twilight said. Just there she finally understood what's going on and she suddenly returned to her bright, bouncy hair, smiling self with an inflating sound.

"Because it's my birthday! Ooh, how could I have forgot my own birthday?" Pinkie asked in disbelief pulling the others in to a group hug. They all made one final sigh of relief and Pinkie drops the group to the ground.

"And you like me so much you decided to throw me a surprise party!" Pinkie said in bouncing excitement.

"That's what we've been trying to tell you, darling." Rarity reminded with a smile.

"You guys are the best friends ever! ...How could I have ever doubted you?" Pinkie asked lowering her head in guilt.

"It's okay, Pinkie Pie. It could have happened to any of us." Twilight assured with the others joining in agreement.

"I'm just glad I haven't been replaced by a bucket of turnips." Dash said as Pinkie gave out an embarrassed smile.

"Or a pile of rocks." Zach added.

"Huh?!" Twilight asked in confusion looking at the embarrassed Pinkie.

"You don't wanna know." Dash assured.

"Trust us." Zach joined.

"All right, ya'll! Enough of this gab. Let's party!" Applejack announced turning on the record player and the gang started dancing and having fun. They all played monkey in the middle with Gummy, eat cake, and soon Spike joins to also dance to the music. This also gave Twilight the opportunity to write down another valuable lesson.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I am writing to you from the most delightful party. I'm not only having a great time with my friends, but also was given the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson about friendship. Always expect the best from your friends, and never assume the worst. Rest assured that a good friend always has your best interests at heart." Twilight wrote.

"And sometimes you shouldn't assume what you think and see is what it is. True, there are times your friends may act suspicious, but at those times, they could be a blessing in disguise waiting to be revealed to you. Just like a surprise present just for you.

Your faithful students, Zachary Lanson and Twilight Sparkle." Zach finished. The group started lining up in train like march with Pinkie in the lead, then Zach, Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Dash.

"You all wouldn't mind if we celebrated Gummy's after-birthday party too, would you? His party was cut short, and he's pretty upset about it." Pinkie asked and the group all agreed happily. Gummy however was enjoying himself while biting on a balloon but without his teeth he's not able to pop it. Through the whole day the pony gang enjoyed the birthday party and couldn't be any happier for another successful celebration. However they're going to celebrate another celebration very soon... in Canterlot.

[Only one episode left. I can't believe how time flies. I'll put up the final update on New Years Day, to not only end one story but to begin a new one in a new year. Until then, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.]
