He was a tall and slim pony with cloud white fur that seemed to match with his ever so perfect messy bleach yellow mane. His bright yellow eyes were like topaz, glimmering with the beauty of his every essence and soul. The pink pony just stood there, goggling over the pony that stood before her.

“Umm, hey there miss…” the stranger asked. He was a bit confused over the drooling pink mare that was blocking the doorway.

“Pinkie Pie!” she said suddenly, realizing that she has been staring at him. “My name is Pinkie Pie, but you can call me Pinkie” she said in an almost calm and controlled voice. She stepped aside from the door.

“Well nice to meet you Pinkie” he said as he walked into the room.

Pinkie was giggling to herself as she watched the stranger walk by here, never breaking eye-contact with his body. Her eyes slowly drifted from his face to the back of his head to his impressive figure and finally to his flank. That’s when she noticed that his cutie mark, or at least what she thought was his cutie mark was a jet black ink stain, but it wasn’t faded in like an actual stain, but solid black, as if it was a part of him.

The young stallion looked back at her, a concerned look on his face.

“Is she alright” he asked, directing the question to a rainbow headed mare.

“Oh yeah she’s, fine. Just Pinkie being Pinkie.” Rainbow gave a strange glance at Pinkie. “Although, she is being a lot quieter than usual. Most of the time you can’t get her to stop talking.”

“I see, interesting” he replied, and then he realized. “Oh where are my manners, my name is Ink Spot, by the way and you are…”

“The name’s Rainbow Dash, the fastest, most awesome pony in all of Ponyville” she boasted. “And hiding under the table there is Fluttershy.”

“Hi” Ink Spot said, giving the scared Fluttershy a friendly little wave. She just succumbed deeper into the table.

Rainbow let out a sigh. “Well there’s a reason that she’s called Fluttershy” said Rainbow.

“Hey son! Give us a hand out here” a strong, raspy voice called from outside.

“Coming!” he replied. “Excuse me for a sec” as Ink Spot raced outside the door, leaving the three girls alone.

Rainbow took a look at smiling and drooling Pinkie. It was if she has had some sort of stroke, or maybe she was struck by something. The rainbow pony was about to find out.

“Pinkie are you okay?” Rainbow asked. “You’re acting sort of weird. Like weirder than usual, quiet even…. Helloooooooo? Pinkie are you even listening to me.”

Pinkie was lost in a dream state. “Oh I’m okay” she replied in a soft, calm voice. “I’m better than okay, I’m in love…” she let another drop of drool slip out of her mouth.

“What?” rainbow asked a strange look on her face.

“He just the most amazing pony I ever saw” she said, giving a deep sigh of delight afterwards.

A snarky smile slowly formed on Rainbows face. “Ohmygosh! You like the cleaning pony don’t you?” she knew the answer already.

Pinkie just collapsed onto the floor, uncaring that it was covered in frosting and looked out the door, her front hooves holding up her big grin on her face.

“Oh wow that is just too funny!” laughed rainbow as she fell from the air into an uncontrollable fit, rolling around on the cake soaked floor.

“I think it’s nice” said Fluttershy, finally coming out from under the table.

“Alright dad” said Ink Spot as he entered the house once again. “Bring it in.”

A large scruffy grey pony walked in carrying a special looking vacuum cleaner, it had three vacuum hoses and arms with sorted dusters, spray bottles and wipes attached. It had an assortment of whistles emitting steam and colorful lights flashing red. The bizarre look of it reminded the ponies of a certain cider making machine that almost took Applejack out of business.

“Alright son, get this set up while I get your sister” the big stallion said to Ink Spot.

The big stallion put down the strange device and heads back outside the shop, as Ink Spot begins to examine the machine, after a moment he presses a big red button on the machine as it springs to life. The device begins to beep and bop as it sucks in all the cakes and pastries off the floor. The hands extend to the walls and ceiling, spraying the walls with cleaner and rubbing the spot until it was sparkling clean.

“Oh good, you’ve finally started to clean up” called Rarity as she walked down the stairs, still a little wet from her bath, and was wrapped in a pink bathrobe and her mane was wrapped up in a pink towel.

“Oh….hello Rarity, was your shower nice?” asked Fluttershy.

“Oh, it was simply divine, Fluttershy” said Rarity as she unwrapped the towel from her mane. With a few tosses of her head, her deep purple hair fell into her normal style.

“All Right ladies” the big pony said. “We are going to need you to move into the kitchen as the Super Cleaning Dirty Sweeping 6000 finishes up the party room.”

“The super cleaning what?” asked Rainbow, as they move into the kitchen, having to drag Pinkie paralyzed body by the tail.

“The Super Cleaning Dirty Sweeping 6000, the latest in home sweeping technology.” The large pony boasted proudly.

“We brought it with us when we moved from Manehatten” Ink Spot said as he walked into the kitchen with a little dirty filly following closing behind him.

“Oh, and who is this fine young steed we have here” said Rarity seductively, batting her eye lashes. “I don’t think that we have had the pleasure of meeting. I am Miss Rarity, of Carousel Boutique” holding out her hoof.

“What!?” Screamed Pinkie, breaking from her trance and replacing he love struck stare with that of daggers and hatred.
“Nice to meet you, Rarity, the name is Ink Spot, and over there is Clean Sweep, my father.”

“Miss” the large pony said.

“And this is Clutter, my little sister” Ink Spot, said proudly, messing up the little filly’s hair.

“Hey there Mrs. Rare-e-tee” said Clutter giving the Rarity a big hug, effectively morphing the soot and dirt from her to white mare.

“Eek! Oh-umm nice to meet you to” Rarity said, tears starting to form at her eyes.

Pinkie let out a little laugh as she saw Rarity trying to hold back the clinging Clutter.

“What in the name of Celestia is that thing?” a familiar voice said from outside.

All at once, the ponies all looked out the kitchen door to see Twilight, Spike, and Apple jack. The three of them were looking at the strange cleaning device in the middle of the now clean room, the cleaning machine slowly begins to power down.

“Hey girls were in here” called Rainbow from the kitchen.

“Well it looks like it’s done cleaning” said Ink Spot as he and the rest of the ponies left the kitchen. “I guess we should probably leave.”

“What? No! You can’t leave yet” cried Pinkie. “You just got here!”

“I’m sorry, but we have other houses to clean” said Clean Sweep.

Pinkie looks franticly around the room, when she notices the fine flower pot of the table.

“Oopsie’s” she said as knocked the pot on to the floor.

“Are you kidding me?” Clean Sweeps grumbled, as he walked over to clean the broken pot.

“What’s wrong with her” asked Applejack, confused by the situation.

“Oh I think Pinkie is just upset that the party is canceled” said Fluttershy. “You see, there was an acc-“

“PARTY!!!!!” screamed Pinkie, a huge grin quickly formed on her face as her big blue eyes grew bigger with excitement.

“What?” said the startled Rainbow Dash.

“A PARTY!” she repeated. She began bouncing all over the room. “Sweepy’s, you don’t know this but I throw a party for all new residence of Ponyville. And we haven’t been able to give you a party yet. OOOOOOHHH! You should come by again tomorrow, so I can throw you a delayed welcome to Ponyville party!”

“Gee, I don’t know” began Ink Spot.

“Pretty Please” the pink pony begged, bent down on her knees, giving him big pony eyes.

“Well….You know what, yeah I’ll be there.” Ink Spot said. Pinkie Pie began to beam brightly.

“Oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes!” she chattered expolding with new life. “Now everypony needs to get out I have a lot of planning to do before tomorrow.”

“Wait what?” said Twilight, as she, Rainbow and everypony else was pushed outside the house by Pinkie.

“Goodbye everypony” she called, closing the door behind her. She reopens quickly.

“Goodbye Ink Spot” she cooed, slamming the door a second time.

“Okay, does somepony want to tell us what the hoot just happened right there?” Applejack demanded.
