Inside Twilight's castle, Saten came in as he's part of the group now. Saved the main six more than once.

Saten: Hey, I'm here.

Twilight: Great sweetie.. Have you happened to see Pinkie on your way here?

Saten: Last I saw her.. She was with my roommate.

Rarity: You mean Derpy?

Saten: Yeah, her.. I'm sure Pinkie will arrive so-

Pinkie: (comes in).

Saten: There she is.

Pinkie: (still under the effects of the Marijuana) Duuude.

Twilight: What's with your eyes.

Pinkie: (stoned) Fine.. I'm fine, (stoned laugh).

Twilight: (to Saten) What did you do to her?

Saten: Why think I did anything?

Pinkie: (stoned laughter).

Saten: See, she's fine.

Pinkie: (stoned) Sorry, I had trouble working my key to the castle.

Rarity: Darling, that's a leaf.

Pinkie: (stoned) Say.. What if.. Our whole universe.. Was just another leaf on God's tree... Mind blown!

Dash: ... Your high.

Pinkie: On life?.. Yes I am!

Dash: No, on weed.. I know the signs.. Shame on you Saten.. Getting sweet little Pinkie on drugs.

Saten: Hey.. It was Derpy, I had nothing to do with it.

AJ: He's right.. Derpy is kind of a stoner.

FLASHBACK:

AJ: Derpy, I need you to watch over AppleBloom.

Derpy: Sure.

(not long after).

AJ: Hey Derpy I just thought I'd check on y- OH MY GOD!

Derpy: (stoned and in fetal position) Gov'ment came & took my baby!

END FLASHBACK:

LATER:

Everyone gathered around the their table, Pinkie is no longer under the drug effects, so everything is normal.

Twilight: Great! Everypony's here. Now I don't have to wait any longer to tell you all the wonderful news! Somebody special is coming to visit Ponyville, and I need your help getting everything ready!

[main cast chattering, except Saten who's looking bored].

Twilight: It's...

Pinkie and Twilight both: Shining Armor and Princess Cadance!

Twilight: ... Yes, and they're coming—

Pinkie: Tomorrow!

Twilight: ... Yes, on the-

Pinkie: Friendship Express rather than the Crystal Empire train so as not to cause too much of a scene when they skip town to come visit? [squee]

Twilight: Uhh.. Yes.

Pinkie: Annnnnd?

Twilight: And, that's it.

Pinkie: Oh.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, how did you know all that?

Pinkie: [nervous laugh] Uh... Pinkie Sense?

Rainbow Dash: So, you said you needed our help with something?

Twilight: Follow me.

Rainbow Dash: Sweet posters! Is that Smash Fortune?

Twilight Sparkle: It sure is! When Shining Armor said he wanted to come to the castle and visit, I started collecting things he liked when he was a colt as a surprise!

Pinkie: Surprise?! [nervous laugh]

Twilight: I've been so excited that it's been hard to keep it to myself!

Pinkie: [slightly muffled] I have no idea what that's like!

Fluttershy: Aww, look at the cute little ant farm!

Spike: And check out all these old comic books!

Twilight: Be careful! They're mint-in-bag!

Spike: [accidently blows it on fire] [nervous whistling]

Saten: What's this?

Twilight: This is Brutus Force. Shining Armor used to carry him around like his baby!

Pinkie: Yeah! [nervous laugh] Really cute! [nervous laugh]

Rarity: It is a bit juvenile for castle décor, but it is very sweet of you.

Fluttershy: I'm sure Shining Armor will love it.

Twilight: Me, too. But there's a few more things I'd like to add before he gets here, and I could really use a hoof collecting them. Applejack: Whatever you need, sugarcube, we'll help you get it.

Rest of main cast sans Twilight: [various agreements]

Twilight: Thanks, everybody! I just can't wait 'til they walk in and see everything!

Rainbow Dash: Totally understandable. Watching sombody else be surprised with something is almost better than being the one who's getting the surprise!

Pinkie: But... eh... what if the surprise is something so incredibly exciting that a pony can't keep it in any longer, and she has to tell the pony standing next to her what it is or she might explode?!

Fluttershy: I would say... no.

Rarity: The pony who ruins a surprise for somepony else has to live with that guilt forever!

Pinkie: [nervous laugh] Gotta bounce! [pinball noises] [crash]

Rainbow Dash: So, I know the bar is set pretty high, but does anybody else think Pinkie Pie was acting weirder than usual?
