Ponyville was getting ready for a celebration. Honestly, that wasn't unusual in Ponyville. Today's celebration was the birthday of Rainbow Dash. Rainbow insisted Twilight help in setting things up, but nopony would listen to her so Sunset had to give the actual orders. Pinkie arrived (complete with singing townsponies) and began to decorate a banner.

"She is amazing." cooed Sunset.

"Pinkie got the right cutie mark alright." agreed Twilight.

Pinkie finished the banner with a portrait of Rainbow and raised it as the townsponies finished.

"I am so, so, so excited because today I am planning the birthday bash of...Rainbow Dash!" exclaimed Pinkie.

"Yeah!" declared Rainbow.

Rainbow had been posing in front of the banner when she came down to high hoof Pinkie. However, Pinkie grabbed her hoof.

"Rainbow Dash." began Pinkie sternly.

"Yes Pinkie?" asked Rainbow surprised.

"You realize that by enlisting me as your party planner, I guarantee this will be the funest, most fantabulous, superbuial party in Ponyville." stated Pinkie firmly.

"Um yeah. I guess." replied Rainbow confused.

Pinkie put her hoof on Rainbow's mouth.

"No guesses! Parties are no picnics!" declared Pinkie.

"Oh. I'd like a nice picnic party." noted Fluttershy.

Pinkie turned to Fluttershy and growled. Fluttershy meekly backed down and Pinkie returned her attention to Rainbow.

"Parties are serious business." stated Pinkie matter-of-fact.

As Pinkie promised Rainbow the best birthday, Twilight noticed a long pony watching them.

"Whose that?" asked Twilight softly.

"Now whose ready to join this super party planner in planning this super party?!" asked Pinkie enthusiastically.

"I am." answered the stranger.

The entire group focused on him.

"Who are you stranger?" asked Pinkie.

"Name's Cheese Sandwich. I plan parties." answered Cheese, stepping forward.

"What a coincidence! I'm pinkie Pie and I'm planning a party!" declared Pinkie.

"It's no coincidence My Little Pony. My Cheesy sense was a-tingling. Tellin' me a party was in the works." explained Cheese.

"A Cheesy Sense! What a coincidence! I have a Pinkie sense!" exclaimed Pinkie.

"I know. I sense you did." replied Cheese.

Cheese walked to the banner.

"And I'm the primer party planner pony in Equestria. Be it wingding, hootenanny or hoedown..I'll be there." vowed Cheese.

Cheese Sandwich chuckled a bit.

"So, The Saga Begins." mused Cheese.

"Two party planner ponies in Ponyville!" cried Pinkie, "What could make it better?!"

"Making this party epic." answered Rainbow.

Rainbow flew overhead.

"'Cause it's not just my birthday. It's the anniversary of the day I moved to Ponvyille." revealed Rainbow.

"Good heavens Rainbow. it's your birth-iversary." said Rarity.

"Exactly!" declared Rainbow.

Rainbow landed.

"So, what do you think party ponies?" asked Rainbow.

"Of course!" answered Pinkie.

"I don't think so." answered Cheese Sandwich.

"I know so." muttered Sunset.

"I know so!" declared Cheese.

"Called it." whispered Twilight.

Cheese Sandwich broke out into a song.

"Why does everpony do that?" asked Sunset.

"No clue." answered Twilight.

"Come on ponies! Who here likes to party?!" asked Cheese Sandwich enthusiastically.

As the ponies where hypnotized by Cheese Sandwich and forgot about Pinkie in their excitement.

"Come on everypony! Let's party down with Cheese!" exclaimed Rainbow.

The ponies all left. Rainbow declared that while Pinkie's party would have been good that Cheese's party would be epic. Rainbow did follow up by clarifying she meant no offense. Pinkie separated from the crowd. Pinkie went to Sugarcube Corner which was deserted. She was sitting along outside when Sunset and Twilight came up. Pinkie quickly pretended to act busy.

"Are you going to help Cheese Sandwich plan the party?" asked Sunset.

The two unicorns suddenly noticed Pinkie was watering the dirt.

"What are you doing?" asked Sunset confused.

"That's okay. He obviously has what it takes to do it all by himself." said Pinkie.

"Really?" asked Twilight.

"I wasn't talking to you." answered Pinkie.

The two unicorns turned and left.

"Something is definitely wrong with Pinkie." noted Sunset.

"I wonder if she's feeling overshadowed." mused Twilight.

"Could be." admitted Sunset.

Pinkie was left depressed. She attempt to pack away her party belongings and start a new career. However, this proved to be a failure. Pinkie decided to fight for her party planning. Cheese had finished setting up and Rainbow declared it "totally awesome" as she looked around. Cheese had finished sculpting a large ice sculpture of Rainbow's cutie mark.

"That's amazing." cooed Sunset.

"Feel free to let go! Dare to be Stupid!" declared Cheese.

"Freeze Cheese!" declared Pinkie.

"I challenge you to a goof off!" cried Pinkie.

The ponies and Spike all gasped.

"Oh no. Not a goof off." said Fluttershy worried.

"What's a good off?" asked Applejack.

"I don't know." answered Fluttershy.

"This Cheese has stood alone for a long time." stated Cheese.

Cheese put a fez on.

'Do you really think you can beat me?" asked Cheese.

"I don't think so. I know so." answered Pinkie firmly.

The two got eye to eye.

"The stakes are high Cheese Sandwich. The winner will be declared the Ultimate Super Duper Party Planner and will headline the Rainbow Dash Birth-iversary Bash!" declared Pinkie.

"And the loser?" asked Sunset.

"Doesn't!" answered Pinkie.

The others gasped.

"What do you say Cheese. Are you in or are you boneless?" asked Pinkie.

"Nobody called me Boneless." answered Cheese, "Right Boneless."

Cheese looked at the rubber chicken who didn't answer.

"Then the goof off is on for high noon!" declared Pinkie.

"Pinkie, it's already three." noted Sunset.

"The the goof off will at 3:10!" declared Pinkie.

Word of the goof off spread. Pinkie and Cheese prepared themselves while the Ponyville residences gathered to watch. Pinkie came up in boots and wearing a cowboy hat. Cheese came out wearing funny socks and a helmet. The two gathered and stared each other down. Sunset came up with a book.

"According to the Official Goof Off Rule Book..." began Sunset.

"That exists?" asked Rainbow surprised.

"I guess so." answered Spike.

"Both competitor have free range to goof about. Be it by singing, playing, dancing, prancing or preforming to make the judge, laugh, hoot and hollar, guffaw and party down. The funny, goofy and wilder will win." explained Sunset.

Sunset passed the book to Twilight.

"Rainbow Dash, since the winner will headlining your party, you'll be the judge." said Sunset.

"Oh great." replied Rainbow nervously.

"Are you ready?" asked Sunset.

Both Pinkie and Cheese where staring each other down.

"Let the Goof Off Begin!" declared Sunset.

The two made their way to each other. Cheese Sandwich pulled out an accordion and began playing it while Pinkie was wearing a beanie and a mustache.

Pinkie was now riding a ball and juggling cupcakes.

As she was juggling, Pinkie fed the cupcakes to Rainbow.

"That's a good start." mused Sunset.

Cheese Sandwich came in riding a massive wheel of cheese and playing his accordion. He jumped off landing between Pinkie and Rainbow.

Cheese began dancing with cheese wheels on his hooves.

"But Cheese Sandwich isn't going down easy." said Twilight.

Rainbow watched Cheese dance until Pinkie reeled her in. Pinkie was in a basket held up by balloons

Pinkie indeed blew a Rainbow Dash bubble, but Cheese Sandwich pulled her to a balcony of city hall

The two danced until Cheese Sandwich sent it to a live action rubber chicken flopping around.

"How did he do that?" asked Sunset confused.

Pinkie began bouncing on a trampoline.

Pinkie tossed it to a live action alligator.

"Don't question it." sighed Twilight.

Cheese put a wheel of chesse on Rainbow's head and pulled her onto a float. Cheese put Rainbow on a throne and gave her a scepter with a wheel of

Cheese stepped on a button revealing two cows wearing Rainbow masks. Pinkie appeared too.

"That's mine song!" declared Pinkie.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." replied Cheese.

"That's it!" screamed Pinkie.

Pinkie broke out her party cannon

Pinkie fired off confetti then hoped into the cannon and fired herself. However, Cheese was ready.

The cannonball supreme fired grounding Rainbow. Pinkie came in riding a pinata and singing in Spanish. The pinata fell on top of Rainbow.

"Rainbow's not having the best party ever! I broke the Pinkie Party Promise!" gasped Pinkie.

Pinkie forfeited the Goof Off giving Cheese the victory. Pinkie returned to Sugarcube Corner and packed her belongings. She then departed and began her self imposed exile. For the time being, Pinkie decided to return to the family rock farm. However, the others found her and raced over to her. Rainbow cried for her to stop and flew in front of her.

"I'm sorry I got swept away by Cheese Sandwich." said Rainbow.

"We are all." added Sunset.

Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and even Spike all agreed.

"Pinkie, I know you have resentment to me. However, I want to say I am sorry. Not just for this or what happened to your family, but for everything I did to you." explained Twilight heartfelt.

"Rainbow, I am sorry I didn't give you the best birth-aversary." said Pinkie.

"It's..." began Sunset.

"Cheese Sandwich is a super duper party planner. He'll be a great headliner. I should have been a bigger pony and let you have that." added Pinkie.

"But don't you get it? You're both super duper party ponies." said Rainbow.

Rainbow flew up.

"Cheese Sandwich is a great guest party planner. But, you're Ponyville's permanent party planner and no pony can take that from you. We can't have a party without you." explained Rainbow.

The group hugged save Twilight.

"Twilight, I forgive you. Come in here." said Pinkie.

Pinkie and Twilight hugged causing Fluttershy to back off and annoying Applejack.

"Rainbow Dash is right." said Cheese Sandwich.

Cheese Sandwich came over.

"I never meant to take your place in Ponyville. I just wanted to show you how much of a great party pony I am Pinkie." explained Cheese.

"Why me?" asked Pinkie.

"Well..." began Cheese.

Cheese Sandwich broke into song.

"Me?" asked Pinkie surprised.

"Really." answered Cheese.

"So I was the one who threw the awesome spectacular party that inspired you to be an awesome spectacular party planner?" asked Pinkie amazed.

"Swear on camembert." answered Cheese.

"Enough with the warm fuzzy stuff you two. It's my birth-iversary and you two owe me a party!" declared Rainbow.

Pinkie and Cheese both agreed. The two returned and threw the best birth-iversary bash Ponyville had ever seen. Of course, it was also the first birth-iversary bash Ponyville had ever seen. Pinkie and Cheese even sang together. After this, the two party ponies decided to take some time to observe the joy they brought. They also talked.

"So you grew up on a rock farm. That must have been an Amish Paradise." said Cheese.

"I guess." replied Pinkie.

The two heard Gizmo struggling with a pinata.

"I guess he's too White and Nerdy." chuckled Cheese.

Cheese walked off to.

"Why don't you have some cake. Just Eat It." proposed Cheese.

As Cheese walked off Twilight came over.

"This is a great party." said Twilight sheepishly.

"Yeah. Two heads are better than none." agreed Pinkie.

"Pinkie, did you mean what you said about forgiving me?" asked Twilight.

"Of course Twilight." answered Pinkie gently.

The two shared a hug as Cheese returned.

"So sweet." said Cheese.

Suddenly, Rainbow came over.

"Pinkie! Cheese! I gotta say you two made this the best birthday/anniversary combo ever!" declared Rainbow.

"Glad to hear it." replied Cheese.

"It's totally..." began Rainbow.

"Epic?" asked Cheese.

"Yeah totally!" answered Rainbow.

Cheese put his hat on.

"That's all I needed to hear little filly." said Cheese.

Cheese gave a briefcase to Pinkie which opened.

"Just a memento of our visit." said Cheese.

The briefcase opened revealing it to be Boneless.

"You're giving me your special rubber chicken friend?" asked Pinkie surprised.

As she asked, a rainbow glow went over Boneless.

"Oh, he's not the only one." answered Cheese.

Cheese put another rubber chicken on his back with a cowboy hat and a red '2' on it.

"Well Boneless 2, our job here is done. But, now it's time to mosey on. Another town, another party." said Cheese.

Cheese stopped for a moment.

"Pinkie, next time we meet remind me to show you how to make a Twinkie Wiener Sandwich." said Cheese.
