Pinkie Pie stared at the pink balloon at her hooves. She stared, inspecting it´s surface. She rubbed it and payed attention to the sound it made. She had been focusing solely on the balloon for the past thirty minutes. She didn't talked or moved, she just stared at the baloon.

Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity decided to ignore her and keep with the party preparations. There were streamers to hang and punch to be served. They couldn't waste any time waiting for Pinkie to come back to her senses.

“Pink balloons are not funny,” she suddenly said.

The other ponies heard it but chose to ignore her.

“I said...pink balloons are not funny.”

Applejack looked at her friends who pretended to be busy with the decorations. Sighing, Applejack took the word, “What do you mean, Pinks?”

“Balloons are supposed to be funny. But pink is not a funny color. Balloons are pink therefore, there are not funny,” Pinkie concluded but nopony argued with her logic. “Balloons shouldn´t be pink.”

“Then what colours should they be?” Fluttershy asked, moving her yellow mane aside to look at Pinkie.

“They should be...like me,” Pinkie answered, pointing at her blue and yellow coat. “They should have variety and energy. Not be this unfunny colour,” she concluded, pointing at the pink balloons at her flank.

“Don't be ridiculous, Pinkie! That´s like asking fer apples to not be orange!” Applejack yelled, adjusting her green hat and showing off the orange apples on her red coat.

“Why can´t they be another be? Why can't butterflies be pink or diamonds be another tone than that dull white?” Pinkie asked.

“Oh darling, that´s hideous! A diamond that isn´t pure white it´s simply...wrong,” Rarity replied, the bright blue unicorn waving a hoof to dismiss her friend´s questions.

“I don't think pink is such an unfunny colour...” Fluttershy murmured, playing with her pink hooves.

“But...don´t you think it´s wrong? That colours are not supposed to be this way?”

A large green stallion with a shiny red apple for a Cutie Mark happened to be listening to their conversation. He deposited the bucket full of orange and yellow apples he was carrying and replied:

“Eeeenope.”

This seemed to put the argument to an end. The mares returned to their job, decorating the room with pink balloons. Pinkie Pie however kept staring at the same balloon, trying to find some answer in the monochrome surface

“Pink isn´t funny...”
