It's Your Birthday Again!

You wake one morning to the sound of your annoying alarm clock. With a smile on your face you slam your fist down on its surface and happily jump out of bed. The blinds were closed this time, so you weren't blinded by the sun's unforgiving rays. You do a quick stretch with a content smile on your face as you quickly and fully wake up. The lazily painted walls don't bother you anymore. In fact, the paint could be chipping and the walls could be crumbling around you and you wouldn't care any less. You rush into the bathroom and get your teeth brushed and your hair combed before jumping back into your bedroom and getting dressed for the day.

"It's my mother fucking birthday!!" Your voice pounds against the walls and you chuckle, feeling immensely content. Today is your twenty fifth birthday. You and Pin Point had planned a for a special occasion last year and today was that occasion.

DEET DEET DEET

You pull your head down to your digital watch. 8:30 is repeatedly flashing and you a filled with even more joy as your watch has a spaz attack on your wrist.

"Yes!" You rush out into your living room and plop yourself onto the couch. "And now we wait..." You say to yourself. You wait in place for a few seconds before your watch goes off again. 8:34 flashes on the screen. "Cool. She'll be here any second... Oh, wait I forgot about-!

BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!

"DAMN IT!!" You scream. But it goes unheard due to the fact that you had forgotten about the mind pounding sounds and blinding lights that came from the portal. The mindboggling sound only intensifies as you burrow yourself further into the couch cushion. You really wish you'd remembered the horrible lights and sounds that came with the portal; you would've stayed our of the room, or at the very least worn some sunglasses!

BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!

The light and sound slowly begin to fade as you regain your sight and hearing.

"Damn it, that's painful!" You complain. The couch gets a break as you lift yourself from it and stumble to the opposite side of the room. "Wall. That's a wall." You blink a few more times and allow your eyes to readjust before you try moving again. After a few seconds you are clearly able to make out your couch, television, and familiar blue and gold pony lying on the floor; she is unconscious, just like both years before; it must be some effect of the portal, you decide. "Alright. It's 8:40. Justin should be over in about twenty minutes. Pin Point!" You shout.

"*snort* Huh?! Wha?" She lifts her head from the floor with half open eyelids. "unnnn.... Five more minutes."

"No, come on. We planned this last year."

"ugh... Alright." She fully stands up and pushes her front hooves out and stretches. You've always thought that was weird; it was like watching a cat stretch. She shakes her head a bit and her mane swishes from side to side, revealing her horn completely. "Okay, so what all are we gonna do?" She asks.

"Well, first..." You smile as you look to your watch. "We have to wait for my buddy Justin to get here. He's bringing over his own pony."

_________

You made friends with another brony, Justin, about a year and a half ago. You were given a group project by your college professor and Justin happened to be part of that group. You guys became friends and eventually Justin showed you a picture that he took during his birthday, which just so happened to be the same as yours. The picture was of a relatively buff stallion. An earth pony with a light caramel brown coat and a Barcelona red mane. Bright blue eyes and a giant smile faced towards the camera and showed happiness in having his picture taken.

"Don't tell anyone." You remember him saying.

"Actually. I have something to show you."

_________

"When's he getting here?" She asks as she picks her ears for a minute.

"About nine." You reply. You and Pin Point had planned a day to actually leave your house and go explore around a little bit to give Pin Point a little more sense of what Earth was like. Then, when you found Justin in the same situation, you two planned to go together. It seemed like a safer idea going as four instead of two and if no one got hurt, then it would really be a fun time as well.

Pin Point looks to the nearest clock, hanging above your television.

"Damn, an hour?" She whines.

"Yes, an hour!" You mock. She walks over to your couch, jumps onto it, and circles a couple times before she lays down. She has a content little smile on her face as she breathes lightly. You take note of the bags under her eyes. "Did you sleep at all last night?" You ask.

"*snort* Wha?... oh, yeah... Yeah, I did." She drops her head back down.

"Where you excited or something?"

"Mmhmm..."

"So, was I." You smile. "But I did the smart thing and went to bed early."

"mmmm.... Fug yew...." She mumbles. You chuckle and let her sleep. You figure an hour of sleep would probably do her good. You whip your phone out and call Justin and make sure everything planed is still going on.

"BRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr.... BRRRRRRrrrrrrrr.... Hello?"

"Hey, Justin, what's up?"

"Hey! Nothin' much, man. Hey, did Pin Point get there yet?"

"Yeah. She stayed up all night, so she's sleeping right now." You say, looking back to her.

"Ha! That's cute... Anyway, Dark already arrived and we should be there around nine, nine thirty."

"Okay. See ya then."

"Alright."

Once you're done with the phone call, you flop yourself down on the couch next to Pin Point. You grab the remote and are about to click the television on when you feel Pin Point snuggle up next to you. She has a peaceful smile on her face as she balls herself up, resting her head on your thigh. You place your hand on the top of her head and lightly scratch it. Her ear twitches a bit and she lets out a relaxed sigh.

"This is like having a cat that can do magic, talk, and cuss at you..." You whisper to yourself.

A knocking at your door startles you a little while later. You check your watch quickly and confirm that it is nine o' clock.

"That must be Justin." You say to yourself. You head to your stair case and jog down to the bottom where you swing open the door and greet your friend.

"Hey! What's up, man?" He says.

"Nothing much. How are you?"

"I'm pretty psyched about this!" Justin says with wide eyes. "We just gotta be careful."

"No shit." You say. "Hey, where's Dark?" Justin spins around and you are able to see a large backpack strapped to his shoulders. A familiar looking, brown pony sticks his head out from the bag.

"Wazzup?!" He shouts happily.

"Hey!" You two fist/hoof bump each other. You let Justin and Dark in then close the door before beginning your ascent up the stairs. Once at the top, Justin lets Dark out of the bag and the stallion does a quick stretch.

"Nice place ya got here." Dark says. "Looks a lot like my o-Whoa!" You see his head whip to the side as he eyes Pin Point. "Dude! That's the pony you were assigned?!" He asks me.

"Yeah?"

"Oh, dude. She's hot!" You look back to Pin Point and give a 'meh'.

"I guess she's good looking. But I'm not into ponies, sooo, I wouldn't really know." Dark rolls his eyes.

"She hot. You can take my word for it!" The stallion happily trotts over to the sleeping mare. You turn to Justin and discuss your plans.

"Alright. So you already got our breakfast place picked out?" You ask.

"Yeah. I looked up a Bob Evans on the other side of town."

"Why the fuck is it way over there?!" You demand.

"Hey! You said somewhere secluded and that place is about to go out of business. I think that's pretty secluded!" Justin smiles at you as you try to think of any other place that is closer.

"Fine. But you're paying for gas!" Justin throws his hands half way up and smiles.

"Done." He says.

SMACK

You and Justin flip your heads to the side.

"OW!!" Dark shouts as he stumbles to the ground, clenching his head.

"THE FUCK IS HE STARING AT ME FOR?!?!" Pin Point screams. You laugh as Justin screams at Dark.

"Dark! Back the hell off!" Dark picks himself up off of the floor and slowly walks himself over to his human. Pin Point gets up from the couch and stares at him angrily. This is all very amusing to you, but you hide your smile due to your pony's anger.

"I wake up and this creepy ass is two inches away from my face!" She shouts. Dark rubs the top of his head.

"Okay! We're all here, so let's get going." You shout.

"Yeah." You go to your room and emerge again with a large travel backpack in your hands.

"Pin Point. Climb into this." You drop the bag to the floor and the blue mare climbs inside. Once she is fully in the bag you zip it shut a confirm that she's able to fit entirely. "Alright, good." You let her back out. As she jumps back out of the bag, you head to your room again and come back out with a black hoodie about Pin Point's size. "Lastly, try this on." After a quick minute, you again confirm that everything fits your pony and that you are ready to go.

"Alright, let's go!" Pin Point decrees.

Once the four of you are outside, you lock the door behind you and make your way to your car.

"Oh, wait! I can just teleport us there!" Pin Point volunteers.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Justin says.

"I can do it!" She argues. Dark shows worry.

"You might hurt yourself." He says. Pin Point ignores him and takes a powerful stance in the midst of the group. Her horn lights up and glows very brightly.

"HNNNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!" You hear her grunting. A great flash goes off and you realize that you are about three feet away from your car, instead of the twelve before hand.

"When you said 'teleport us there', did you mean to the restaurant or to the car?" You tease. Pin Point dizzily shakes her head and narrowly avoids smashing her skull into your car door.

"Where did we end up?!" Pin Point demands.

"The parking lot?" You answer.

"Well then, I obviously meant to take us to the parking lot now didn't I?!"
