On a beach setting during the sunset Twilight was sitting on the edge of a pier alongside her two human friends.

Twilight: You know…the days have changed.

André: What do you mean?

Twilight: Well…

Babe: Are you ok?

Twilight: I'm fine but…I was thinking.

Babe: About what? What's on your mind?

Twilight: About you two. What if Princess Celestia has found a way to send you two back home? We might not see each other again.

André: True. But we're still friends regardless right? And who knows? Maybe you can find a way to have Babe and me come back someday.

Twilight: I couldn't do that. Not after all the trouble Princess Celestia could've gone through after finding a way for getting you two back. You two weren't even here for that long.

Babe: So what do you want us to do Twilight?

Twilight: Stay here in Ponyville. Our friendship wouldn't ever have to end.

André: …

Babe: What's gotten into you? The days haven't changed. You seem to have been the one who's changed Twilight.

Twilight (sighing): Maybe.

Babe: I mean…it's not like you to think like this. Even when we do go back, you'll always remember us, right?

Twilight: Of course…

Babe: As long as you remember our time here you'll be fine.

André: I'll defiantly never forget.

Babe: Same here.

Twilight: …

André: Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack.

Babe: Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Spike.

"And you Twilight. We'll never forget you."

The two slowly began to fade away. Twilight opened her eyes, realizing everything that just happened was all a dream.

Twilight: That was….that was just a dream? Heh, Twilight, get it together girl. You're just overthinking things again.

Twilight convinced herself with a smile. She looked out of her bedroom's window to see the morning sky. The five days was all she had on her mind. How could she make these last few days count with her unique human friends?

-The first day-

Spike (awakening): Man! That was a great dream, haha…

Twilight: Morning Spike. Sounds like you had a pretty good dream.

Spike: Yup. It was only about the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria.

The lavender mare smiled as she rolled her eyes.

Twilight: I should've known.

Spike: Hehehe. So, what're you going to do today, Twilight?

Twilight: I've got to go to the hospital and see how André's doing. I've got to tell him about the meeting with Princess Celestia.

Spike: That's a great idea. I'll stay around here handling the chores. Once you get there tell him I said hey.

Twilight: You don't want to go with me?

Spike: Nah, that's ok. I want to get all the chores done for the day.

Twilight: I understand but that's alright. He'll be home today anyway so you can see him then.

Spike: True. I can't wait till he gets here.

Twilight: Me either.

Meanwhile at the Ponyville hospital André was just awakening in bed. He got up and stretched his arms. He looked over to his left and saw Rainbow Dash sitting on a chair with her head buried in her arms asleep on his bedside. He turned to the right and saw Pinkie Pie sleeping on the floor with confetti all over her body. She was asleep with the casual Pinkie Pie smile on her face.

André: Pinkie Pie is just full of surprises.

Pinkie Pie (jumping up): SURPRISE!?

André: WHOA!

Pinkie Pie happily jumped up and down.

Pinkie Pie: Surprise? There's a surprise? Is it someponies birthday? What's the occasion? Tell me, tell me, you've gotta tell me!

André: Don't scare me like that Pinkie Pie. Nobody's birthday is today. I was just telling myself about how much of a surprise you are.

Pinkie Pie: Oh. Well that's what I do best! Speaking of birthday's when is your birthday André?

Andre: My birthday? What's today?

Pinkie Pie: August 26.

André: Oh. My birthday was three days ago Pinkie Pie, you missed it.

Pinkie Pie: Aw….I would've thrown you the greatest and bestest birthday party EVER!

André: That's ok Pinkie Pie. I don't need a party to enjoy a birthday. As long as I'm around people I care about then it's all good.

Pinkie Pie: That's nice of you to say. I understand.

André: But if it's August 26 then that means it's my friend's birthday back at home. I'm not even there to tell him happy birthday.

Pinkie Pie: Aw…that's so sad…AH! I can't stand it! Not being able to throw so many parties in so little time!

André: Don't let it get to you Pinkie. Hey! I know something that'll cheer you right up.

Pinkie Pie: You do?

André pulled the white covers from over his legs and slowly got out of bed. He was trying not to wake Rainbow Dash. He went over to a basket containing his clean clothes, courtesy of Nurse Redheart who washed all his clothes for him.

André: Tomorrow is Babe's birthday.

Pinkie Pie: Really!?

André: Yup. How about you throw him a surprise birthday party?

Pinkie Pie felt all the energy in her body wanting to release all at once. She began to shake in excitement. André acted quickly and put his hand over Pinkie Pie's mouth to keep her quiet.

André: I know you're excited Pinkie Pie but shouting it out will ruin the surprise. See what I'm saying?

Pinkie Pie cheerfully nodded and André released her.

André: Remember to keep it on the hush, hush.

Pinkie Pie: Okie dokie!

André: Great. Now, I'm going to get dressed. How about you start with the planning and stay in touch okay?

Pinkie Pie: Mm hm!

André: Perfect. I'll see you later.

Pinkie Pie happily bounced out of the room. She already had party ideas in mind. André switched out of his hospital attire and began to put on his clean clothes. As he put his shirt on he hears a soft "Wonderbolts….so awesome." coming from Rainbow Dash's mouth as she slept.

Rainbow Dash: …mm. (Opening her eyes) huh?

André (putting on his shoes): Morning Rainbow.

Rainbow Dash: Morning already? (Yawning) Wow…

Rainbow scratched her messy unkempt mane and shook her head to get the last bit of drowsiness out of her system.

André: Did ya sleep well?

Rainbow Dash: Sure did.

André: Have any sweet dreams?

Rainbow Dash: Uh huh.

André: Was it about the Wonderbolts?

Rainbow Dash: It sure was-HUH!?

André: Ahahaha! Aw, that's so adorable Rainbow.

Rainbow Dash: How did you…

André: You were talking in your sleep.

Rainbow Dash found that rather embarrassing. She unknowingly blushed at her sleep talking.

André: Hey, Rainbow, why're your cheeks turning red?

Rainbow Dash: That's a little embarrassing. Talking in your sleep? That's just so uncool.

André: Not at all!

Rainbow Dash: You don't think so?

André: Nope. My mom did it once. I think I even do sometimes. It's pretty funny actually.

Rainbow Dash: It does sound pretty funny, huh? But still, it's a bit weird to me.

André: Why? It makes you 20% cooler.

Rainbow heard him and eyed him in a surprise. André only grinned at her reaction. He knew he used Rainbow Dash's line, something he wasn't supposed to know at the time, but he used it anyway to see how she would react.

André: What? Human got your tongue?

Rainbow Dash: What you just said…it-

Knocking on the door stopped Rainbow Dash in her sentence. André opened the door and standing before him was Twilight.

Twilight: Morning André, how's it going?

André: Hey Twilight. Everything's great.

Twilight: Got any plans for today?

André: I was going to visit Applejack. So I can help her with apple bucking. We originally had plans yesterday but that got scrapped for the race.

Rainbow Dash: …Sorry.

André: It's cool. It was beneficial anyway.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I guess you're right.

André: I was going to see if I can help her on the farm from now on too.

Twilight: You seem to want to do a lot for Applejack. Do you have feelings for a certain somepony? Maybe a little crush on Applejack?

André: No.

Twilight: Hmmmm? You don't sound so sure.

André: I just really want to give her a hand. She does a lot and I just want to be there to help her.

Twilight: Sure. You've got my support.

André: Aha, Ahaaaaaa, funny Twilight.

Twilight put her hoof over her mouth and chuckled at his sarcastic remark.

Twilight: By the way, I got a letter from Princess Celestia.

André: Princess?

Twilight: Uh huh. The co-ruler of Equestria, she said she would like to meet Babe and you four days from now.

André: Four days? Oh man. That's such an honor. The Princess of Equestria wanting to meet us. I can't wait for that.

Twilight: I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure she'll like you guys.

André: I hope so.

Twilight: She will. Also, I saw Pinkie Pie earlier. She said something about throwing a birthday party?

André: Yeah. A surprise birthday party, Babe's birthday is tomorrow.

Twilight: Really? I have to get him a gift!

André: Don't stress it too much Twilight. I don't think he's much of a gift person.

Rainbow Dash: What are you saying? Everypony loves gifts. What kind of things does he even like? We can't just get him any ol' thing.

Twilight: True. What does Babe find interesting André?

André: He likes Pokémon.

Rainbow Dash: What?

André: It's this game they have back where we come from. Never mind. Other than electronics, I don't really know Babe's interests.

Twilight: Hm. Without asking him this may be a little difficult.

André: I guess so. Let's get tell the other's about the surprise party.

Twilight: That sounds like a great idea. We'll meet back at the library so we can discuss everything.

André: Gotcha.

Rainbow Dash: Got it.

After giving his thanks to Nurse Redheart André, Twilight and Rainbow Dash left the hospital. Twilight went over to Fluttershy's cottage while André headed over to Sweet Apple Acres. He journeyed the same dirt road where he met Apple Bloom.

André: Ugh. My minds all twisted now. If we do decide to buy gifts for him what kind of gift would he like? Would it be too obvious if I asked him? Maybe Applejack would know something.

Rainbow Dash (popping up behind André): YO ANDR…!

André: AH! (Turning around) H-Huh!? What…?

Rainbow Dash: Pfft…pfft…Bwahahaha!

André: Aw! Rainbow Dash, you scared me!

Rainbow Dash: I sure did! You should've seen your face! Hahaha!

André (chuckling): Very funny. What're you doing here?

Rainbow Dash: I'm going with you to Sweet Apple Acres.

André: Oh yeah? I thought you were going to let somepony else know about the surprise party. We could've covered more ground separately.

Rainbow Dash: And risk you getting lost? No way! No need to worry, you've got Equestria's greatest flyer by your side!

André: Kind of ironic isn't it? You're walking with me.

Rainbow Dash made a straight face before seeing André's point. She put back on her smile.

Rainbow Dash: Good point.

André: Also I'm not worried about anything. I know my way to Sweet Apple Acres.

Rainbow Dash: I'm sure you do. I'm uh…I'm just here to keep you company. Keep you from dying of boredom. Besides, wouldn't want you getting lost in Applejack's eyes.

André: Uh huh. Sure, that's the reason why you're here.

Rainbow held her head up, eyes closed, thinking she convinced her human friend that was her reason for coming along. André didn't mind Rainbow Dash tagging along but he wanted a real answer.

The two arrived at Sweet Apple Acres. In the Apple orchid Applejack was busy doing what she did best and that was bucking apples. The duo approached her.

André: Hey, Applejack.

Applejack: André? It's good to see ya! Howdy, Rainbow.

André: Applejack you wanna take part in the B.S.P.E tomorrow?

Applejack: Huh?

André: Best. Surprise. Party. Ever.

Applejack: Haha! Is that what it means? Man, yer a hoot! Sure, ah don't mind.

André: Perfect!

Applejack: whose party is it?

André: Babe's. It's for a surprise birthday party Pinkie Pie is going to throw.

Applejack: Babe's birthday is tomorrow? Well shoot! That doesn't leave me much time to get a gift.

Andre: Right…about that, we have NO idea what he would like for a gift. We were kinda hoping you would have a clue.

Applejack: Ah've no clue either. Ah haven't spent enough time with Babe to really know what kind of things he'd like for a birthday gift. He's been hanging out with Rarity mostly. Ah'm sure she's bound to know somethin.

André: Good idea! While I'm here do you mind if I help you with a few trees? I remember we were supposed to have bucked a few apples a little while ago but it got put on hold.

Applejack: Hm. Well, ah've got a few more trees to buck, sure! Ah could use an extra pair of hooves around here.

André: Cool. Hey, Rainbow, can you go and ask Rarity about what she thinks Babe might like as a gift.

Rainbow Dash: Aren't you gonna come with me?

André: I just said I was helping Applejack. You can do it.

Rainbow Dash: …Riiiiight, ok. Sure…

André and Applejack went farther off into the apple orchid. The two exchange friendly laughs with each other as they walked off. Rainbow squinted her eyes in speculation. Rainbow Dash left Sweet Apple Acres and sulkily traveled back down the dirt road back down to Ponyville. She seemed rather disappointed that André didn't really want to spend any time with her.

Rainbow Dash: I don't get it. Why would André want to hang out with Applejack so badly? And why does Babe only hang out with Rarity? Does he have a fashion craze? Not only that but they were living with Twilight temporarily. André will still be living with Twilight until they find a way back home and Babe will be spending MORE time with Rarity! WHY DON'T THEY WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH ME!? Is it because they think I'm boring? No that's ridiculous…anypony whose anypony knows that I'm coolest Pegasus in all of Ponyville! But even so….they might not even like a show off…(shaking her head) What am I saying? I just have my head in the clouds, that's all.

The cerulean coated Pegasus was back in town. She quickly flew over to the Carousel boutique to get some birthday answers from Rarity.

Rainbow Dash (knocking on the door): Hey, Rarity, you in there?

Rarity [voice]: Just a second!

Rainbow Dash: Hopefully Babe's not in there.

Rarity (opening the door): Rainbow Dash, what a surprise. Can I help you with something?

Rainbow Dash: Yeah. But first, is Babe around?

Rarity: No. He went out to get me a few jewels with Spike. Why?

Rainbow Dash: Do you know his birthday is tomorrow?

Rarity: Uh huh.

Rainbow Dash: You do?

Rarity: Yup. Pinkie Pie told me earlier today. We're supposed to meet at the library in ten minutes. I purposely gave Babe and Spike a list of the rarest jewels in Equestria to find. Hopefully that'll be enough time for our meeting.

Rainbow Dash: Nice move! Do you have any idea what Babe would like as a gift?

Rarity: I'm sorry Rainbow Dash but…I don't. I tried asking him about his interests but he didn't give me anything to go on.

Rainbow Dash: Really? Well I guess we'll have to rely on our instincts on this one. It's better than just giving him nothing.

Rarity: Of course. I already have the perfect idea in mind!

Rainbow Dash: Ok. I'll head back to Sweet Apple Acres and tell Applejack and André about meeting back at Twilight's. (Flying back to Sweet Apple Acres) I'll see you soon Rarity.

Rarity: Alright Rainbow Dash.

Rarity closed the door and flipped the boutique's "open" sign to "close". Back at Sweet Apple Acres Applejack and André continued bucking apples. With brute force André tackled a tree in hopes of getting at least one apple to fall in either of the two baskets set on both sides of the tree. He recoiled while rubbing his right shoulder.

André (holding his shoulder): Ow, ow, ouch…

With an injured shoulder André stopped bucking. He looked to his left and saw Applejack professionally handling one of the apple trees near him. With one swift kick all the apples fell off of their branches and landed into the basket below.

Applejack: Havin' a little trouble there sugar cube?

André: Kinda. How are you bucking so perfectly? I haven't managed to get one apple down.

Applejack: Years of practice bud. You can't rush the apple bucking process. It'll come natural to you sooner or later. Just keep at it until you get it right.

André: I doubt I'll even have a shoulder by the time I get it right.

Applejack: Hehehe. You looked parched, ya thirsty? Ah could make us some nice cool apple juice.

André: I don't want to be a bother.

Applejack: Nonsense, yer never a bother. Ah'll be right back with those drinks.

André: Thanks, Applejack.

André rubbed his sore shoulder again before lying against the tree he had trouble with. He sat at the base of the tree and gently placed his head on the trunk of the tree. Three seconds later every apple from the tree came crashing down, burying him in apples.

André: Ouch! (Rubbing his head and looking at all the apples) Huh!? You've gotta be kidding me!

Rainbow Dash (approaching André): Hey, André, we-huh? What're you doing? You're supposed to put the apples inside the baskets.

André: Not now Rainbow…

Rainbow Dash giggled as André stood up. He grabbed a basket and began putting all the apples inside with Rainbow Dash's help. Applejack returned with the freshly made apple juice, both cups balanced perfectly on her head.

Applejack: We'll, ah'll be. Look at that André, you did it! Did you buck all the apples off of this tree?

André: …I don't know.

Applejack: …? Whelp, here ya go.

Applejack took the cup off of her head and handed it to André. She grabbed her cup and toasted with André. Afterwards they began drinking.

André: Wow. This apple juice is fantastic Applejack, the best I've ever had.

Applejack: Made from the heart. That's what makes it taste so good.

André: Well, I am feeling it!

Rainbow Dash: ANYWAY, guys, we've got to meet back at Twilight's house. Pinkie Pie was going to explain to us the plan for the party.

André: Ok. What did you get from Rarity? Did she tell you anything?

Rainbow Dash: She said Babe didn't tell her anything.

André: What? Ugh…now we're out of luck I guess.

Applejack: The least we can do is try our best in getting something we think he may like.

André: Yeah. But I don't have any money to get him anything.

Applejack: Yes you do.

André: I do?

Applejack: Yep. Ah was gonna pay ya for helping me.

André: Helping? I didn't really do much AJ. All I managed to do was injure my arm a little.

Applejack: You bucked one tree. Not only that you were nice to Apple Bloom, you know, she talks about you all the time to her friends Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. The least I could do is pay ya 10 bits.

Applejack reached into her saddlebag and took out a small light brown sack. She tossed it over to André and he caught it. There were metal coins jingling together in the bag.

André (putting the bag in his pocket): …Thanks a lot AJ, this means a lot to me.

Applejack: It's no trouble at all. There's more where that came from if you're interested in doing some more work around here.

André: Yes! That'll be grea-

André was interrupted from finishing his sentence by Rainbow Dash. She grabbed him by his shirt and was pulling him down the dirt road back to the library. Applejack followed behind them. André dropped his apple juice on the ground.

André: W-Wait, my apple juice!

Rainbow Dash: Tick, tock. It's about time we start heading over to Twilight's.

Applejack: You sure are being more impatient than usual Rainbow.

Rainbow Dash: If you two keep going back and forth we're going to be late.

André: But…my apple juice...

At the library everypony had arrived on time including Rainbow Dash, André and Applejack.

Pinkie Pie: Great! Everypony's here! Now we can get down to business! Now as we all know our good friend, Babe's, birthday is tomorrow. I'm the host Pinkie Pie.

André [voice]: Hello, Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie (giggling): And we're going to throw him the best birthday party he's ever had! We'll have the party here at the library. I already have the decorations, food preparation and overall theme of the party so all we need to do now is make sure he comes here tomorrow.

Rarity: Sounds easy enough.

Pinkie Pie: That means NOPONY tells him anything. Not even a peep about anything related to a party.

André (raising his hand): …

Pinkie Pie: Yes…um…Spike!

André [voice]: What!?My hand was raised.

Spike: Um, yes, you're Pinkie Pie. Every day we expect a party. Don't you think that he'll be pretty much expecting you to throw something for him?

Pinkie Pie: Well, Babe doesn't have to know that!

Spike: …

Pinkie Pie: He'll never see it coming. I can just imagine the look on his face now! Remember Nopony says ANYTHING, got it?

Twilight: Mhm.

Rarity: Got it.

Rainbow Dash: Sure do.

Applejack: Mah lips are sealed.

André: Gotcha.

Fluttershy: Yes.

Spike: Sure.

Pinkie Pie: Excellent! We'll meet back here at noon. André, you'll be the one who tells him to come but make sure you get here before he does.

André: Alright, shouldn't be a problem.

Pinkie Pie: Alright then. We're going to make this happen! Everypony go out and do what you normally do but remember the plan.

Everypony, Spike and André understood. They all shouted "Right!" before going back to their daily routines.

To be continued
