Pinkie Pie's Lucky Day!

                        Pinkie had been walking around for a bit, well...hopping, you could say, around Ponyville when something caught her eye. She hopped on over to see a colt dressed in a red and white stripped shirt, with a hat similar to the ones the Flim-Flam brothers wore. Next to him was what seemed like a sphere-like cage and a bunch of white balls in it. "Come one, come all! It may be your lucky day today! Boats, houses, lots, parks; you name it! You could win one of those and more for only 10 bits!" The colt said quickly and cheerfully, hoping to lure in some foolish ponies to give him an easy 10. Little did anypony know, but he had rigged it so they would keep coming back. Sure it was mean and deceptive, but it was a good way to get rich.

                         Pinkie Pie hopped excitedly over to the stallion and smiled, "10 bits for stuff like that?! Count me in!" Pinkie Pie said, slaming down 10 bits, making the stallion chuckle at how gullible some ponies could be. "Alright miss...just give it a good crank! Hopefully you'll get a new house or something even better!" He tried hard not to laugh, this seemed way to eas- the pony pulled out a white ball and made a remark that shocked him, "Ohhhh...a mansion! I love those!" The colt gawked at the pink ecstatic pony. "But...but but! The only thing in there is a free hat...how'd you..?" The pink mare giggled as she trotted away, the colt felt he needed a break...and a long one at that...

                          As the hyper pony hopped home, she began to formulate a party to let her friends all know about the mansion she got. First she needed a theme..."Mystery," she thought, considering that most mansions are old, creepy, and perfect for a setting like a murder, but that'd probably unnecessary. Instead, she decided, she would involve something being stolen, yeah...that'd do. Finally she reached home, it was dark out now, and Pinkie was pretty tired. She opened the bakery door and trotted in, going upstairs and flopping on the bed, she decided to go over the plan in the morning, when her thoughts were fresh.  

                           When she woke up in the morning she got straight to work, making invitations, planning the situation, and finally, putting it all together. When she was done, she giggled excitedly, this was surely going to be one of Pinkie Pie's best parties ever! She collected all of the invitations and put them into a basket, which was strapped to her head by a piece if rope. She trotted over to Twilight's house, she would be the first to know about the party. It's not that Pinkie Pie chose favorites...she just liked Twilight from all the others...and Derpy, she liked her just as much as Twilight, which was a smidge more than the others.

                            She finished the planning and making the party at around noon, so her friends should be awake by now. She knocked on Twilight's door, which was followed by a "Spike! Answer the door please," and a groan. Finally Spike opened the door. "Hey Spike! How's it goin'?" Pinkie Pie asked in her usual cheery tone. "Fine...I guess...hey Twilight! It's Pinkie Pie! I think she wants you!"

                             Hoof steps were heard going down the stairs, soon Twilight came into view, smiling at her pink colored friend. "Hey Pinkie Pie, what's going o-" "I'm having a party at my new mansion! You'll be there, right!?" The pink pony was hopping up and down rapidly, making it hard for Twilight to focus on what Pinkie Pie said. "Well...I guess..." "Great! See you there!" Pinkie Pie handed Twilight an invitation and quickly bounced away, leaving her with one question left unanswered, "What did she mean by mansion...?" Twilight shook her head, closing the door and opening the note, reading it.
