Dear diary.

I woke up today in a hurry. The reason was that there was going to be an unofficial visit from Princess Celestia and I wanted the entire town to be spotless and to have something to greet her with. I rushed Spike to clean up the entire library, there was no time for fun and games, I wanted to please Princess Celestia and everything needed to be perfect. I left Spike to clean the rest of the library up while I inspected the rest of the town.

I walked outside and everything was going very well. Everypony was doing their part to make the town look beautiful. I went to look at the banner that was made by Carrot Top. She didn't do it right because she left half of Princess Celestia's name off because she "couldn't fit it all in". It said Princess Molest Celest. What can I say? She's not the brightest carrot in the basket! Oh, haha... Really bad puns. I disappoint my self sometimes. I told her to do it again. By the looks of things, it looked like most ponies were taking this seriously.

Next, I decided to go to Sugar Cube Corner to see how the cakes were getting on. I entered and asked how it was going. They replied saying that it wasn't very good because Pinkie Pie kept eating the cakes. Apparently, Pinkie Pie were testing if the cakes were not poisoned. Average Pinkie Pie really, any excuse to eat sugary teats. I'm surprised that she isn't the size of an elephant, the amount of cake she eats is unbelievably high. Strange how she hasn't got diabetes type two yet. Later, Fluttershy entered, saying that she found a creature at the edge of the everfree forest. I thought they were cute, beautiful and amazing. While Pinkie Pie identified them, she called them Parasprites and she didn't like them from her reaction for some reason. I didn't know why, but after she saw them, she said she needed a bunch of musical instruments.

After that weird thing with Pinkie Pie, I decided to go to Rarity's house where I met Rainbow Dash, getting dressed up to look nice for Princess "Celest's" visit. Rainbow Dash didn't look like she appreciated what Rarity was putting on her and she didn't like the look. It actually looked like Rainbow Dash was going to punch Rarity in the face because of the mood she was in with her. Not everypony appreciates cloths the way Rarity does. But I for one thought they were spectacular. I showed them the Parasprites. They seemed to have multiplied again. I only had one but now I had three for some reason. Pinkie Pie walked in asking for another musical instrument. I wasn't really paying attention, she was just being random and I was to sucks a in by the cuteness of the Parasprites to care.

When I got back to the library, the place was spotless and Spike done a really good job. He was already asleep and I was ready for bed, thinking that because everything was perfect in Ponyville for Princess Celestia's visit, I wouldn't have to worry about much anymore. Or so I thought...

I woke up the next morning, not so peacefully. To my suprise, I woke up with hundreds of Parasprites around the library. They started to swarm the same time me and Spike started to panic. They started to mess up Spikes hard work of cleaning the library by messing it up. Throwing books around and letters from the Princess. This was turning into an emergency fast. The Princess would be here in a few hours. I was determined to sort out this problem and find a solution.

I gathered all of the Parasprites up and decided to go to Fluttershy's house to see if she could help solve the problem. On the way, I met Rarity who had the same problem and the same idea. When we reached Fluttershy's cottage, we realised that she had the same problem, but a bigger one since she had way more flying about. When we entered, the Parasprites were much worse than ours, they were throwing her possessions around the cottage like a tennis ball and Fluutershy had no control over it and we didn't know what to do. Then, Applejack showed up with a cart full of apples. I don't know how she didn't know what was going on. How did she not get news of what was going on? Maybe if apples didn't control most of her life, she may have been a bit more social and noticed our troubles by now. She had brought a cart full of apples that were meant for Flutterhsy, but the Parasprites eat them in seconds. They had the table manners of Rainbow Dash! Applejack came up with an idea to gather them all up. We got them into a ball and lead them out of Ponyville. Pinkie Pie showed up again asking for more musical istruments. I knew she was up to something but I decided not to get involved just yet.

After the job was done, we went back to Fluttershy's house and opened the door. To our suprise, a storm of Parasprites came out from the door way. It turns out she wanted to keep just one. I couldn't believe she done that! She knew what was going to happen and still wanted to keep one?! Great, just great! To be fair, this is the first time she wronged us so I wasn't that mad at her since she was just being herself and taking care of creatures. But in this situation, she seemed like the quiet, stupid mare at the back of the class who eats glue and glitter. I didn't know what to do, but unfortunately, Rainbow Dash got involved, which is normally bad, and suggested the weather team. She created a tornado around the Parasprites. It was going well, until she lost control and ended up spilling the Parasprites all over Ponyville. Yet another stupid mare who eats glue and glitter.

We reached Ponyville to see that the Parasprites were eating all of Ponyvilles food supply. I decided to cast a spell to make them stop eating all of the food, which sort of worked. They did stop eating all of the food, but then started eating the buildings.

I ran back to the library to find spike being tortured by the Paraspites, I also noticed that the Parasprites were not eating my things, but eating the words from the books. I don't know how they did that.

I decided to run to Zecora's house with one of the Parasprites, I wanted to know if she knew anything about them. I asked her if she could help us. She said it straight up what I needed to know, but what I didn't want to hear. We were doomed.

I ran back to Ponyville and realised that there was no way out of this situation. Now this part I don't know much of because I went insane, according to my friends who were observing. Apparently, according to my friends, I went insane and told everyone to build a replica of Ponyville before Princess Celestia got here, we had under a minute. I would actually really want footage of me going insane, I think it would be funny to watch. Just then, music came from the background and I thought it was Princess Celestia coming. But no, it wasn't, it was Pinkie Pie playing music to get the Parasprites attention. They responded good with music. Pinkie Pie saves the day and lead them into the everfree forest, they were Zecora's problem now. Princess Celestia arrived saying that she was glad that we put a parade up for her visit. We didn't, that was Pinkie Pie leading the Paraspites out of Ponyville, but I decided to go with it. But unfortunately, she couldn't stay for her unofficial visit, because there was news that there was a swarm of creatures in Fillydelphea. So she had to leave, but the good news is that she wouldn't find out about what happened in Ponyville and that we could rebuild the town without finding out. Pinkie Pie had finnished getting rid of the Paraspites and the town was finally safe.

What I learned about friendship that day was: Trust Pinkie Pie, she may seem crazy but she knows what she's doing.
