It was a normal summer's day in Ponyville, colts and filly's roam free around the little town, mares and stallions were relxing and chatting. A certain mare named Buttercup was getting ready for her day, she had a dark purple coat and a short brown mane, well, short for mares, her tail was smaller than average aswell, but she couldn't help this as it was her natural look.

She had gotten prepared for the day ahead, today was the day of her best friend Primrose's birthday and she had a special suprise in order. She went downstairs to make breakfast, she was greeted by her parents, Fire Flower and Dasiy Doo. "Morning sweetie." Fire said walking over to his daughter ti give her a kiss.

"Morning dad, morning mom." Buttercup walked over to the refridgerator, in there was a carton of eggs, a few bundles of hay and some lettuce. 'Hay on eggs i guess' she thought to herself grabboing the eggs and hay.

After breakfast she grabbed all the things she needed to finish of her BFF's suprise, bits, party decorations and the cake, she had to make sure that on the way to Sugarcube corner Primrose didn't see her. Buttercup opened her front door and left the house, she lived in near central Ponyville, she was located three doors right of the Carousel Boutique so any fashion advice or clothes she needed (even though she only wore clothes for super special occasions).

She walked past many ponies, making sure that if Primrose sprung up somewhere she would have somewhere to hide. She made the entire journey without being seen by her best friends, 'now time to find Pin-GAH' a pink ball of what appeared to be fluff was instantaniously completely covering Buttercup's face.

"Hey Buttercup, did you know it's Primrose's birthday? Of course you knew, she's your best friend, so you here to host a party,  huh, huh! HUH!" Buttercup was still in shock.

"Uh, hi Pinkie, and yes, I came here to setup up Primrose's birthday party." Pinkie's eyes grew wide at this moment.

"OH YEY YEY YEY, we can do pin the tail to the pony, and discrod-ata, oh this will be so much fun!" Pinkie opened her cupboard, tons of party releated stuff fell out, including the famous party cannon.

"Oh no! not the party cannon, i kinda want it to be a smaller party, she doesn't like the big fancy parties!" As soon as Buttercup said that Pinkie's mane went flat, like it had deflated. "Oh, im sorry Pinkie, don't cry!" Buttercup went over to Pinkie, when she was about to hug her the pink ponies mane shot straight back into party formation.

"OKEY DOKEY LOKEY!" The pink maned earth pony took the decorations from Buttercup and started helping putting them up. A few hours went by, it was around 7 o'clock, Buttercup left to pick up Primrose from her house, Primrose lived on the outer area of the town, her family was the owner of the biggest mining facility in Equestria.

Buttercup approached the door of Primrose and knocked on it, after a few seconds a mare opened it.
