Chapters Prologue
Pinkie Pie couldn’t believe her thoughts. Usually she thought about cake, parties, friends, pies, cupcakes, more parties, gifts to give her friends, the parties she could plan in the next hour, and all kinds of other crazy things. Anyway, Pinkie couldn’t believe what she was thinking about when she waved to Cheese Sandwich as he left town during Rainbow Dash’s birthaversary. The pink pony was thinking about her new friendship with Cheese when a little voice in the back of her head said, “Maybe more than a friend?” Pinkie couldn’t believe her thoughts.
Pinkie knew she was intrigued by the party pony when he first came to town. She at first wondered if she could throw a party for her new friend. She was excited for the possible fun times she could have with him. His mysteriousness made her want to jump and give him a hug. The earth pony thought she could get him out of his curious shell with hug. Later, when Pinkie realized he wasn’t too mysterious, she was even more excited. Another party pony in Ponyville? Yes, yes, yes! Even when she was jealous of Cheese, she couldn’t help but blush when she thought of him. Pinkie didn’t think much of it at first. It was a warm day, after all. The resident party pony liked his curly mane, his eccentric rubber chicken, Boneless (Which she was holding at the moment), and the way he talked and sang. Pinkie Pie was super duper excited when they became friends and Cheese revealed the roots of his cutie mark.
More than a friend… Pinkie never really had a crush as far as she knew. I think I had the hots for Bobozaur the Clown when I was younger, but that’s it! Pinkie was a sociable party pony, plain and simple. She was more used to making friends at her parties than… well… finding love at them. Do I love Cheese Sandwich? What!? I just met him today!!! Well, I suppose I met him a long, long time ago! Hehe! The other members of the Mane Six had left a few moments ago, Pinkie used the time to herself to examine the rubber chicken Cheese had given her. Pinkie blushed. What?! Blushing? Wow! It really is hot out here! The smell of the rubber chicken found it’s way to her nose. It smelled a bit like cake, balloons, fruit punch, paper, the rubber chicken smelled like a party basically. He smells like Cheese Sandwich! It made sense that it did, the faux chicken sat on Cheese’s back everyday… well, until he gave it to Pinkie. Wow, this must’ve been really special to him! I feel so honored!
The sun had finally set by the time Pinkie walked away from her waving goodbye spot. Rainbow’s party was still in full swing when she made it back. Pinkie Pie was overwhelmed, as much as she helped, she knew the other party pony did most of the work. He ordered the fruit punch lake, the roller coaster, and he made the exquisite banner and well as other duties. Pinkie admired his hard-working abilities. She blushed again. Wow! Even when the sun went down it’s still warm out here!
The party went on past midnight. Pinkie Pie tiredly decided to clean up the mess in the morning and only pick up trash such as paper plates, waded up napkins, and other items. The pink pony’s energy was all used up as she dragged the large bag of trash down the street towards the Cake’s house/business. After she put the trash bag in the bin outside and quietly walked up the stairs, Pinkie Pie placed her saddlebag on her bedside table and collapsed into bed.
“Wow Gummy! Today was a big day!” she picked up her little friend.
Pinkie put the baby alligator back on the ground and turned off the lights. When the pink pony was moments from the sweet release of sleep to renew her energy, the sound of squeaking caused her eyes to dart open. She turned on the lamp in frustration of not being asleep and noticed Boneless had disappeared from her saddlebag. Her eyes darted to Gummy, who was fiercely gnawing on the rubber chicken.
“AH! Gummy no!”
Pinkie snatched the memento of Cheese’s visit from her pet. “We do not chew important things!” She hugged the chicken. It still smelled like Cheese. “You should stay up here for tonight!”
Pinkie turned off the lights again and snuggled with Boneless. She felt really happy despite her extreme fatigue. She didn’t think it was possible to be that happy when one were so tired. Hm, maybe I do have a crush on Cheese! He makes me… well… really happy!!! Pinkie drifted off to sleep with the smell of parties wafting around the room.
A few months after Cheese had left Ponyville, it was the time of year when Pinkie forgot completely about herself and wondered why others were acting so sketchy. Her birthday was nearing. Pinkie never really had good birthdays. Sure, her friends put their all into them, but they never turned out quite like the parties Pinkie threw for them. It was two months until her party, a little early to start planning a party but five out of the Mane Six were desperate. Pinkie was too busy planning a party for the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting A+’s on their report cards. While they were devising a plan, another party pony had a Cheesy Sense.
Cheese Sandwich had recently planned a major bash for a filly named Babs Seed in Manehattan. It was more of a birthday parade, even though there was only one float. When his Cheesy Sense advised him of the needed party, he hurried to Manehattan. Apparently, the family was going to take their daughter out for a fancy dinner, which she obviously didn’t want. She was sent to a friend’s house for a sleepover while Cheese Sandwich got everything ready. During the night, Cheese Sandwich perfected a wonderful float in the filly’s likeness. The next day, Babs’ mom brought her daughter and friends to downtown Manehatten where the party pony was waiting in a tuxedo with a microphone on her float. After singing a wonderful song, he helped her and her friends onto the float and placed an awesome crown on her head. The float went around town as Cheese continued to sing, not only to her, but to all of Manehatten too. The orange stallion was especially proud of that party.
Cheese Sandwich’s Cheesy Sense told him their was a party in need... in Ponyville! Awesome! I’ll get to see Pinkie again! Unlike Pinkie Pie, Cheese knew how to express his feelings. He definitely was certain he had a crush on the pink party pony. Cheese Sandwich hurried on to the small town.
“Okay, so will we have streamers?” asked Twilight Sparkle tiredly.
“I thought we weren’t doing that because it was too cliché?” said Rarity.
“Oh girls…” sang a new, more masculine voice.
There was a collective gasp as the Mane Six looked at the pony in the shawl and stetson standing in the doorway of Twilight's library.
“Now that a professional party pony is here, let’s get started.”

Ooh! I hope all of you like my new fan fiction! I couldn't find a proofreader, so if you catch any mistakes PLEASE leave it in the comments! thank you so much for reading the prologue, it would mean a lot if you liked and favourited the story! Thanks again!
All of the ponies went home after Cheese Sandwich entered, they knew the orange party pony would help a lot. If he planned Rainbow Dash’s amazing birthaversary in one day, what could he do for Pinkie in a little less than two months? What was Cheese Sandwich going to do the first day? Well, let’s start with the end of the night before:
Five out of the Mane Six gathered around and hugged Cheese Sandwich.
“Hello, little fillies,” Cheese dipped his hat.
“It’s so awesome that you’re here!” started Rainbow Dash, “Pinkie always has great ideas for our parties-“
“But we’re absolutely clueless!” Rarity sobbed, her magic pulling up a sofa to wallow on.
“I’ve got the best ideas… But her birthday is a little while from now, isn’t it?” asked Cheese, raising his eyebrow.
The girls all gave sheepish smiles. The awkward silence that took place for a few moments was broken by Twilight stepping forward. “Well, last year, Pinkie thought we were up to something and got really upset. It also wasn’t the best we could do…”
“I’m sure it was great, But I’m happy to offer my services?” the stallion said with a bow causing a few giggles among the girls. “I’ll tell you what: how about we start planning a week from now? It’ll give me some time to get in touch with my ‘party planning senses.’”
The Mane 5 nodded before Fluttershy raised her hoof.
“Where are you going to sleep?” asked Fluttershy.
Cheese looked up from under his hat and pondered this for a few seconds.
“I suppose I’ll find somewhere…” said Cheese as he thought about it. Where will I sleep?
“Ah’m sure you can stay at mah family farm for the next two months!” smiled Applejack.
“Thank you kindly,” Cheese Sandwich said in his mysterious voice.
“Please Cheese! You know us! You can be yourself around us!” beamed Rarity.
Faster than you could say Chimmy-Cherry-Chonga, the party pony threw off his hat and shall, revealing a bright yellow shirt. “Whew! That was getting hot!” he laughed.
The ponies all laughed and gave a millisecond for silence. “I have to go feed my animals, Angel gets mad if I’m a minute past dinner time. A week from now?” she smiled.
“Of course!” Cheese sang, leaping towards Fluttershy.
One by one, the other ponies left until it was just Cheese, Applejack, and Twilight in the library.
“We should probably get going if Cheese is going to get in touch with his party senses or whatever!” Applejack grinned.
Twilight waved them off as Spike walked down the stairs with a broom, smirking. “What are you so pleased about?” the lavender pony giggled.
“‘Getting in touch with his ‘party senses?’ Yeah, riiiiiiight .” Spike rolled his eyes and continued to sweep.
Twilight raising an eyebrow at her assistant’s snark, “Spike, what are you implying?” she asked
“I’m just saying,” Spike said holding the broom still. “he and Pinkie seemed to hit it off pretty well,”
Twilight looked out her window. Cheese was looking around the street. Looking around for somepony? Twilight gave a smirk that mirrored Spike’s. “Maybe you’re right, Spike.”
She looked down to her assistant, who was quietly singing ‘I told you so.’ “And maybe you’re getting too old for me!”
The princess gave her friend a noogie as the baby dragon spoke again. “I have seen your older pony books!”
“WHAT?!” demanded Twilight feeling her heart drop.
“Yeah, Glinda’s Guide to Getting Older!” Spike giggled.
Twilight released a breath and wiped a bead of sweat off her and laughed.
Cheese woke up the next morning with his energy level at an all time high. I can’t wait to see Pinkie today! He grabbed Boneless Two, his shawl, and his hat as he walked out his bedroom door and downstairs into the kitchen. The Apple Family was already awake and moving. Monday morning; it was a time for working. Apple Bloom was getting ready for school, Granny Smith was baking, and Applejack and Big McIntosh were discussing their plans to work on the farm for the day as they munched on apple pancakes.
“Goooooood morning Apple Family!” said the party pony in an announcer-like voice.
“G’mornin’,Cheese!” smiled Applejack.
“Thank you, nice folks, for letting me stay! In return, I give you…” Cheese paused for dramatic effect, “...a thank you party!”
Confetti sudenly rained from the ceiling as the guest pulled out an accordion and began to sing:
“Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya,
For lettin’ me stay!
When I needed somewhere to stay,
You did not say nay! Hey!”
Apple Bloom danced along as the older siblings smiled, rolling their eyes. Granny Smith laughed,
“Thank you kindly, Cheese! You’d best be on your way, though. I heard you had some party sense you needed to get a hold of!”
“Oh! Yes, thank you!” Cheese Sandwich swallowed the pancakes Granny had just laid down for him and ran out.
“He sure is something!” Granny laughed.
“Yeah...” Applejack said dully, her grandmother mistaking it for longing.
“Now Ah see why you let him stay the night…” Granny smirked.
Applejack blushed furiously. “No Granny! He just didn’t have a place to stay! Besides, I think it would be adorable if he went with Pinkie.”
Granny grinned, “I’m sure they’ll be cute… when they start singing when a pony sneezes!”
“Granny!” Big Mac scolded.
“I’m just saying, they’re both nice but they will cause trouble.”
Cheese knew what he would do: he expected to walk suavely into Sugarcube Corner and see Pinkie Pie working the desk. He would proceed to say, “I heard there was an amazing party planner in this establishment?”
The stallion expected she wouldn't know who he was and say, “Yes, and who are you?”
“The second best party planner in the world, looking for the first!”
He would then lift his hat, revealing those lively green eyes and bouncy mane that seemed to mirror the mare’s. Pinkie would be so surprised that she’d dash into an embrace and he would lift her up like in the romance films and put her back down and hug her like no one has ever been hugged before. Afterwards, he would invite her for a walk around Ponyville with him.
This is it! This is it! Cheese Sandwich tried to open the door by slamming it open, like in the old western films. Cheese fell over himself but seemed to come back up like an inflatable tube man when he opened the door. Stay cool, stay cool… maybe she didn’t see it…
“I h-heard there was an amazing party pony in this house-I mean establishment!”
Stuttering…not good! Cheese started sweating and let his already face-consuming blush turn a shade darker.
“Yes-“
“The best party planner in the world! No wait! Woo? Wait, what?!”
He was shut up when a hoof came in contact with his face. The punch sent him stumbling backwards. “Wooing me? I’m a married mare!”
Cheese observed the attacker: She was a middle-aged mare with a blue coat and pink up-do.
“Ah! I’m so sorry ma’am!”
BE COOL, BE COOL! CELESTIA HELP ME!
The mare threatened to punch him again when a new voice mixed into the angry voice of the older mare. “Mrs. Cake? Is everything okay?”
Cheese Sandwich knew Pinkie Pie was pretty; her sapphire-blue eyes were simply alluring, one of her best features aside from her personality, the orange stallion decided. But geez… Cheese Sandwich didn’t remember her being this pretty. Her tail and her forelock swayed as she walked, but the way she walked ...Cheese couldn’t help but notice, despite her worry for Mrs. Cake, she still had a slight bounce in her step. Cheese regarded her beauty with complete awe.
BE COOL!!! Am… am I drooling? Ohmyprincessespleasehelpmeletarockdroponmyheadorsomethingthisisthemostembarressingmomentofmylife!
“Cheese?!”
Due to the stallion’s lamenting, he didn’t see Pinkie jumping on top of his head and wasn’t able to support her weight. Long story short: he fell down. Time seemed to stop as he looked into the mare’s eyes. They were so happy. A smile spread across her face. He couldn’t help but smile too. Cheese didn’t even register the pain in his head as he hit the ground. He tried to hide his blush by looking away. Ugh, cowponies don’t blush! Wait, is she blushing too?
Pinkie got up too soon for Cheese, who stayed on the ground a second longer. When he got up, Cheese was hugged again by the party pony around his neck.
“I’m so happy you’re here!” Pinkie beamed.
Composing himself, Cheese returned the hug she was choking him with.
“Cheese! We need to have a ‘Cheese is back in Ponyville’ party!”
Before he could even reply, Pinkie rushed around the shop collecting supplies. Smirking, he got into a running stance. “Wait for me!”
The party ponies rushed through the store. When Cheese caught up, Pinkie gasped. Nobody had ever been able to keep up with her. The pink one took this as a challenge. She narrowed her eyes and sped ahead. Cheese sped up too. When Pinkie gathered all the supplies, she abruptly stopped. Cheese, of course, didn’t expect this and tumbled to the ground. As he recovered, Pinkie gestured to the full-scale party she set up. The stallion’s euphoria at the sight of the party caused his stetson and shawl to shoot off.
“Woah,” Cheese Sandwich drawled in awe as he got up.
“This is a party just for you!” Pinkie grinned as she turned on some music.
She started doing a unique kind of dance with Cheese along side her. Pinkie Pie didn’t expect him to bump into her and fell over. Cheese looked at her in concern at first, but the mare started laughing and so did he. When he put his hoof out for her to grab and stand up, she pulled him down. They both started roaring in laughter until their sides hurt. Suddenly, Pinkie pulled Cheese up.
“C’mon! I need to show you around Ponyville!”
At high speed they raced through the town, with Pinkie naming everypony that the stallion didn’t know. Once that was done, neither of them knew what to do.
“Maybe we could throw another party… together?” asked Pinkie Pie.
“YES!” Cheese Sandwich cheered.
So together they decorated Saddle Street with streamers, banners, and balloons. Cheese started playing the accordion and Pinkie baked all kinds of foods. When the mare finished, she wiped some perspiration off the top of her head and beheld the growing party. It seemed as though everypony in town was dancing to Cheese’s music. Wow! He looks so happy! His smile is so cute! The pink party pony ran over to him with happiness blinding her. She stole the microphone and started singing along to his song. The male was surprised at first, but it was okay.
She has such a pretty voice…
After the party ended late into the night, both party ponies said goodnight and went their separate ways. The week went on like that. Cheese went to Sugarcube Corner, they threw a party together for some random reason, they talked about themselves, and finished the night with a huge party for all of Ponyville. Saturday night, they didn’t throw a party.
“We should start planning tonight’s party now! It gets so much better every night! I was thinking Dashie would hide in this HUGE-MONGUS cake and she would fly and and do a rainboom! Maybe a double rainboom… MAYBE A TRIPLE RAINBOOM! You always make the party a success, What do you have planned?”
Cheese couldn’t help but blush at the compliment as he laughed in excitement. “Actually Pinkie, I have something else planned…”
Cheese grabbed Pinkie’s hoof, causing her cheeks to turn scarlet. He ran at top speed and tossed her onto his back when she wasn’t keeping up. The sun was setting when Cheese arrived at the location. It was the lake, there some candles were hanging from a tree and some sat in the sand making a path. The birds sang happy songs as the body of water glittered with the light of the ending day. Pinkie cooed in wonder. Cheese held her hoof as he led her down the romantic path. When they reached the end of the path, the candles broke their straight formation and broke off into a large circle. Inside was a picnic blanket and basket full of sweets. Pinkie’s eyes sparkled.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
She tackled him with a hug. The orange party pony wobbled a bit, but steadied himself and returned it. They sat down and began to feast.
“Wow Cheese! This cake is amazing! Did you make it yourself?”
“Well…n-no.” Color started trickling into his cheeks. “I-I’m not good at baking…”
Ugh, she probably thinks you’re so annoying with all that stuttering. What happened to the confident Cheese who led his date here? He then realized he hadn’t actually made eye contact with Pinkie until now.
Pinkie smirked a bit as she saw Cheese at lost for words.
“I’m s-sorry for stuttering… Oh I did it again! Sorry, you’re so pretty… Wait, wh-what? I’m so-“
Cheese was suddenly cut off when Pinkie kissed him on the snout. “You need to calm down, silly!” Pinkie giggled.
Cheese’s small stream of pink on his cheeks turned to a red-face mess. “I-wait… Did you just kiss me?”
Pinkie kissed him on the snout again and giggled. “And I just did it again!”
“S-sorry for all the nervousness. I’ve never met a mare like you…” He gave an anxious chuckle and broke eye contact as he rubbed the back of his head.
“It’s okay! You’re cute when you get all nervous!”
“Well, you get cute when you talk about parties! I can see how much you care about them.”
“Of course I do! It’s my cutie mark and your’s too!” She rubbed her nose against his as she said that. “…So is this a date?”
“Um… yes?” smiled Cheese, hoping she wasn’t uncomfortable with the thought of dating.
“Whoopee! Now I have a coltfriend!”
She attacked him with another hug and they both started laughing. They talked for a long time before Pinkie started falling asleep on Cheese’s shoulder.
“I didn’t know you ran out of energy,” Cheese joked.
Pinkie good-naturedly stuck her tongue out at him. He lifted her up and started to carry her home. She positioned herself so that her front legs were wrapped around his neck and her head rested on top of his. “Your so silly, Cheese! One second you’re cool like a cowpony, the next you’re silly like me!”
He raised an eyebrow. “Which one do you like better?”
“Definitely the silly one,” She said in a yawn.
Cheese thought about that for a second. After the party Pinkie planned, his silly side was released and he started planning parties. He remembered that some mares he liked and clients he wanted laughed at his antics. That hurt. So the orange party pony started acting cool, and it worked. It wasn’t like he didn’t like that side of him… he just felt different. I totally like the silly side better too.
When he reached Pinkie’s house, he handed her off to Mr. and Mrs. Cake, who promised to get her into bed. Cheese dipped his head and began to dance off into the night. He was so happy about his day with Pinkie, he did a few spins on his way to the Apple Family farm. He was so dazed by the success of his date, he didn’t realize there was a pony in his path. They both fell backwards. Cheese rubbed his head and looked to the victim of his happiness.
“I’m so sor- Berry Punch?”
“Hey cutie!”

“Berry Punch?! You live in Ponyville?” Cheese sputtered
“You bet, sweetheart!” she slurred.
“You’ve been drinking haven’t you?” He asked standing up straight and raising an eyebrow.
“If I hadn’t been wouldn’t you be more bananas?”
“Berry you’re not making any sense.” hissed Cheese trying to walk past her.
She stopped him and sprawled herself across his back. “I-I think we should get back together!”
“I already have a marefriend…” he growled pushing her off with his hoof.
“Well you know who to call if she doesn’t do the trick,” Berry winked and stumbled off into the night.
Cheese lowered his eyebrows in un-amusement. He continued to walk back to Sweet Apple Acres and went straight to bed.
Monday morning was the perfect day for Pinkie and Cheese to spend all their hours together. Apparently, the Cakes would be out of town and Pinkie was running Sugarcube Corner. Cheese was so happy to help, he woke up especially early. The time was 5:00 A.M. to be exact. Cheese woke up, gulped down leftover pie (because that was suitable for breakfast consumption), brushed his teeth, gathered his items of fun, and left around 5:05.
Luckily for Cheese, he was dealing with somepony who thought like he did. Pinkie was waiting for him when the party stallion arrived.
“Shh!” Pinkie giggled even though Cheese wasn’t talking. “It’s very early!”
They both giggled like schoolfillies and skipped into the shop.
“How can I help?” the orange one grinned, looking around.
“Well I know it’s super-duperly early, but we need to make enough pastries to feed the town!” Pinkie smiled crazy wide.
“Baking montage?” Cheese asked with an accordion in his hooves.
“Baking montage!”
With the combination of music and cheap jokes, the two party ponies baked enough pastries for all of Equestria. Since Cheese wasn’t a good baker, Pinkie had to help him, but he got the hang of it… not really but hey, they were still edible. The two ponies were tired from all of the baking, but it was only 8:00 at that time. Sugarcube Corner opened at 10:00.
“So what do we do?” Cheese asked as he wiped sweat off of his forehead.
Pinkie didn’t say anything at first, thinking Cheese looked pretty handsome when he did that. His mane flowed with his hoof, the warm glow of hard work plastered on his face. He raised an eyebrow and smirked when he asked the question, while not losing his sense of silliness. He wasn’t looking her in the eye, he wasn’t confident enough yet for that. I take pride in myself for meeting ponies all over Equestria! he thought nervously, But out of all the mares….I know Pinks… She’s just so… pretty! Cheese’s opinions on Pinkie were identical. Her glow, her eyes, her mane. Everything was blissful at that moment.
“I think we have enough time to watch a movie!”
Since Pinkie threw parties more often than Twilight read books, she had to have a projector for movie parties.
“What kind of movie?” Cheese chuckled.
“A comedy!” Pinkie chimed as she headed up the staircase.
Upstairs, the Cake’s had a living room for guests. It had blue walls with a gingerbread house accent on the edges. It had a bookshelf full of everything from cookbooks to 1000 Ways to Say Party (one of Pinkie’s personal favorites).
Pinkie told Cheese to sit on the couch as she set up the projector. He insisted he should help, but she wanted the guest to be guested. When the stallion asked what that meant, the pink mare simply giggled and claimed she didn.’t know. As Pinkie was looking through the movie collection, the other pony couldn’t help but notice there was a screw loose from the screen. It all seemed like slow motion. The screen and the metal bar were falling, Cheese stood up and rushed over to Pinkie, he pushed her out of the way, the bar hit his flank, but Pinkie was safe.
“Cheese!” Pinkie leaned up and hugged Cheese as he panted, amazed he was able to achieve that kind of speed.
Pinkie didn’t let go anytime soon. They stood there for a few seconds, panting and recovering from almost dying. When Cheese Stood up, he hoof supported Pinkie as well.
“You’ve got to be more careful!” he scolded.
PInkie looked up. Her eyes brimmed with tears, her lip quivered.
“Thank you for saving me!” She cheered with her voice shaking.
Cheese wrapped his hooves around her. His eyes closed.
“What would I do without you Pinkie?” he whispered.
“W-what?” she smiled, wiping the tears from her eyes.
“N-nothing…” he let the corners of his mouth turn up as he looked away and scratched the back of his neck with his forehoof.
They walked back to the couch and watched the movie. Despite being a comedy, there were some boring parts. Pinkie yawned and leaned on Cheese. He winced.
“What’s wro-“ she cut herself off by seeing the huge bruise on his flank.
“Is that from… the bar?” she whispered in shock.
He nodded holding back tears.
Pinkie smiled wider than ever, looking like she was about to blast off like a rocket. She hugged Cheese and laughed in a sad way.
“My hero!” she smiled, rubbing her muzzle against his neck.
Goosebumps spread as his blush appeared. As the movie continued, Pinkie and Cheese snuggled. Pinkie rubbed her head against Cheese and he formed to her liking. By the time the movie ended, Cheese was on the verge of slumber whilst the pink one was already dreaming. He blushed. She was wearing a cute smile and snoring ever so slightly. Having a d’aww moment, he pushed his muzzle against her cheek.
“Pinkie it’s time to open up Sugarcube Corner.”
It was as if that was her trigger word.
“TIME TO GO!”
Pinkie grinned as she sped to the door. The scene sent Cheese flying backwards off the couch, but Pinkie ran back and threw him over her back like a sack of potatoes. The stallion was surprised at her strength.
Pinkie positioned herself behind the counter and rubbed her hooves together and grinned. Cheese stood by the door. After looking confused for a few minutes, Cheese realized he was supposed to open the door. He regretted it.
The ponies pretty much trampled him to get the first batch of sweets. What happened to small town hospitality?
He trotted behind the counter and helped sell the pastries. Unfortunately, some of the ponies thought he was cutting in front of them and pushed him back. When he did make it, Pinkie shoved a bag into his mouth.
“Thanks so much for your help!”
Cheese took the bag out. “100 bits?! Pinkie, I can’t take this money from you!”
Pinkie just giggled and turned back to the crowd. Cheese smiled and helped her. The breakfast crowd left about 11:00. That gave the two an hour before Sugarcube Corner started serving lunch.
“Hey Cheese?” Pinkie asked around 11:05, “I need to grab some ingredients for lunch hour, will you watch the register while I make some sandwiches?”
Cheese eagerly nodded, “Anything for you, Pinkie!”
She quickly kissed him on the cheek and ran back. He blushed but managed to cover it up as another pony walked in. “Welcome to Sugarcube Corner how may I- Oh no.”
Berry Punch strutted in. “Why hello, Cheese.”
“Please, I told you that we were threw,” Cheese turned his head from her and pretended to do something else.
“Really? Because I could tell you liked it when I-“
“Hi Berry Punch!” Pinkie bounced in, holding a container of lunch items on her back.
“Hi Pinkie,” the purple one grinned.
Pinkie looked through what was left of the breakfast stuff. “I have some banana muffins!”
Cheese turned his head thinking two things. One, he was surprised Derpy Hooves hadn’t taken them all. Two, he was utterly in love with banana muffins. Boneless Two also enjoyed them. Hi mouth water as he thought of the soft, banana-y muffin.
“I’ll take the whole batch!” Berry said looking at the stallion whose heart had stopped. “I’m getting them for an old friend of mine.”
“Well then I’ll give you them for free!” Pinkie smiled, putting the rest of the muffins in the bag.
“Thanks, I know that if my friend wants them, they’ll come over to my house.” Berry smiled as she left Sugarcube Corner.
“Pinkie, do you know Berry well?” Cheese asked lowering his eyebrows at the door.
“Sort of, she came to town a few years ago. I threw a party for her! She drinks all the punch. She drinks a lot!” Pinkie laughed. “Why do you ask?”
“Look Pinks, I’ve known her for a long time. Don’t associate yourself with her…” Cheese scoured the shelf for at least crumbs from the muffins. There were none.
“And why shouldn’t I?” Pinkie’s loutish voice stayed the same, but she was obviously angry.
I know some ponies think when mare’s get angry, they get uglier. They were so wrong. Pinkie seemed to not have any anger lines on her forehead. Her beautiful blue eyes popped, she looked like she was snarling, but Cheese thought it looked kind of funny.
“I’ve just known her for a while, like I said.” the orange stallion changed the subject. “Can I have a sandwich?”
They both munched on their lunches in silence. Pinkie looked over at Cheese. His hair was surprisingly neat despite it’s immense curliness. His eyebrows were a little bushy, but on him it was adorable. His smile was pretty adorable. Probably because he doesn’t eat as many sweets! Pinkie frowned a little, but smiled again at the sight of her crush. he looked over at her. She looked down quickly.
He already knows I like him... did we rush this? Oh, I’m so confused.
Cheese had a different dilemma, trying to get as much food into his stomach before he had to work again. The day went by slowly, Pinkie and Cheese only talked when they had the chance. When four o'clock came around, the ponies were hungry, exhausted, and ready to close shop. Pinkie waved goodbye to Fluttershy, who stopped by to grab a sandwich for Angel Bunny, and locked the door. After that she turned around and slumped down.
“I haven’t been this tired since Dashie’s birthaversary!”
Cheese walked over and sat beside her. “It has been a long day.”
“Oh, and speaking of the last party we planned together before you left town, do you want me to get Boneless for you to say hi to?”
Cheese smiled at Pinkie. “But he’s yours now. He was a memento of my visit.”
“I know, I know!” Pinkie giggled waving her hoof around. “But I think he misses you!”
She leaned closer to him. He looked into her eyes, not with a crushes embarrassment, but with longing.
“You’re looking into my eyes!” She cheered.
Cheese was hoping the silence would last a little longer, but in the end, he got what he wanted. Pinkie pushed her head forward and kissed him for the first time on the mouth. Cheese was even more surprised that kissing wasn’t from silence like in the movie he saw with Pinkie earlier. He kissed her back, he didn’t care how it was initiated anymore.
With one hoof on her cheek, Cheese stroked a hood through her mane. She pulled away and giggled. There was silence again.
“WellIbettergetreadyfortheCakes’returnseeyoutommorrow!” Pinkie ran up the stairs.
Cheese sat there in sheer awe of Pinkie Pie. One second she had him in her hoof, next she left him in the dust. Maybe that’s what Cheese liked so much about Pinkie, she was seemingly unattainable. Cheese couldn’t help but smile as he heard Pinkie cheering upstairs. He let himself out as he danced down the streets of Ponyville. I kissed Pinkie Pie. It was like a trophy he had now.
As he was walking back to the Apple’s, he couldn’t help but notice Berry Punch sitting in a lawn chair in her front yard. He tried to put his head down and hurry by, but she saw him.
“Hi sweetheart!” she laughed, sipping what looked like iced tea. Knowing Berry it’s probably Long Tail island Iced Tea.
“Why don’t you come in?”
He reluctantly walked in.
“Why did you want to see me so badly?” he asked straightening his yellow shirt.
“Because you and Pinkie just aren’t meant to be!” She flipped her mane with her empty hoof and looked at the stallion. “A hunk of a pony like you shouldn’t be with that spaz!”
“Now Berry-“
“You used to be calm, cool, sweet talking…”
“Berry-“
“Why did you change because of her?”
“Berry-“
“What does she have that I don’t?!”
“BERRY!” Cheese practically screamed, sending the purple one flying back. “I like Pinkie Pie! End of story!”
Her empty threats and drunken slurs were just noise to him. I’ve had enough of her today!
That night, Cheese ate dinner with the Apple’s and went straight to bed.
Cheese walked by Sugarcube Corner the next day, hoping to run into Pinkie. She was asleep, or so said Mrs. Cake. Cheese decided to take this time to order some supplies for her birthday party. That Sunday, they decided Pinkie’s party needed to be epic, better than Dash’s. He turned his head and pulled a note out of his bag.
List of Party Supplies
-Wind Tunnel
-Party Tank 2.0 (10)
-Wonderbolts (or some kind of entertainment)
-Pinkie Pie giant balloon
-12 ft Cake
-Dessert Buffet
-
The last item was blank, probably because the party planning committee hadn’t thought of anything else. Cheese trotted to downtown Ponyville. He, of course, had to ask around considering he had only been to Ponyville once. The items on the list weren’t really sold in the stores there, but the post office was located there. Cheese pulled an envelope out of the saddlebag he was wearing without taking Boneless 2 off his back.
After placing it in the mailbox, Cheese wanted to do something with his day. He remembered Mr. Cake walking in right before he left. The stallion mentioned how Pinkie usually slept late on even days. It was the 10th. Cheese didn’t really know what to do, but he ran, read a book, took a cooking workshop, painted a portrait of the lake, brushed his mane, and made a pot. He painted it pink for Pinkie Pie. It was about 1:00 by that time.
Cheese trotted back to Sugarcube Corner with rejuvenated body, information on wedding planning, cookies, a picture of the lake, a freshly brushed mane, and the pink pot. Pinkie was drinking a cup of coffee and sitting by three fillies. One of which looked like Rarity and one who looked like Applejack. Cheese walked over.
“Hiya Pinkie! Who are you ladies?” asked the stallion bowing a bit for the fillies.
The fillies giggled and looked up at him. “We’re the Cutie Mark Crusaders!” said the one Cheese didn’t recognize. “We’re trying to get our cutie marks for party-planning today!”
Cheese couldn’t help but laugh at the fillies’ antics. “Well be careful. May I talk to Pinkie?”
“I think she fell asleep…” said the white unicorn filly.
As she said, Pinkie had fallen asleep with a little coffee on her lips.
“Should we wake her up?” asked the yellow filly.
The mare’s head shot up. “I’m up!” she yawned. “Oh, hi Cheesey!”
“Hi Pinkie!” he smiled again.
“I-“ she yawned, “I’m too busy to hang out with you today. I’m helping the girls find their cutie marks!”
“I can help if you want?” Cheese asked, leaning towards Pinkie with an eyebrow raised.
She slowly nodded as the fillies cheered. After finishing her large cup of joe, she walked upstairs and came back down jumping.
“AAAAAARE YOU READY KIDS?!”
“AYE, AYE, PINKIE PIE!”
Cheese chuckled a little. “Cheese! You gather some party supplies for the girls to use.”
“AYE, AYE, PINKIE PIE!” he jokingly yelled, before walking out.
Pinkie turned back to the girls. “Let’s get baking!”
The girls formed a sort of bucket brigade line where Sweetie poured in the ingredients for the cupcakes, Apple Bloom mixed it up, and Scootaloo poured it into a pan and put it in the oven. There were a few mistakes along the way, like Scootaloo dropping the pan, Apple Bloom getting batter everywhere, and Sweetie Belle dropping the egg shell in and not getting it out.
In the end, the cupcakes weren’t good, but they were edible. The CMC told Pinkie to stay in the kitchen as they heard Cheese come in. Pinkie heard some talking, and she reeeaally wanted to join in but she promised to stay in the kitchen, and Pinkie always keeps a promise. Cheese soon walked in.
“They told me to come in here with you.” he smiled trotting over and standing by her.
“Do you want to try a cupcake?” Pinkie asked walking over to the cupcakes, not noticing some batter on the ground.
Pinkie stumbled around before Cheese caught her.
“Wow! This is like the second time you’ve saved me this week!” Pinkie beamed, looking away and letting some red into her cheeks.
“Hehe…” Cheese smiled, glowing too.
He helped her up. “You really should stop putting yourself in danger like that,” he grinned raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah, I am a bit clumsy!” she expressed as the fillies walked in.
“The party is ready!” they yelled together.
They walked in and gasped. The party was amazing, especially from a few blank-flanks.
“Aww, they don’t like it!” pouted the unicorn.
“Ah told ya the streamers looked messy Scootaloo!” growled the earth pony.
“The streamers don’t look messy!” the pony the stallion presumed was Scootaloo snarled.
“Girls, girls!” Pinkie smiled, putting her arms around the fillies. “This party is fantastic!”
“Yeah! this is so much better than my first party!” the orange pony encouraged.
The younger ones widened their eyes and smiled. “Really?” they asked.
“Yeah!” Cheese and Pinkie nodded.
The girls turned on a record in the corner. It was a familiar song for both ponies, though neither knew the name.
“I love this song!” they said at the same time. “Jinx! DOUBLE JINX!”
They guffawed and wiped a few laughter tears from their eyes. It wasn’t even that funny, but maybe it was something about the atmosphere or the lights or the song. It was something.
“May I have this dance?” asked Cheese hold out a hood and tilting his head.
Pinkie’s looked euphoric, she attacked Cheese with a hug, putting her hooves on his shoulders. They giggled again.
the Cutie Mark Crusaders couldn’t help but coo over the couple. They weren’t even doing traditional dance moves. Cheese stepped to the side and did some sort of tumble and held hooves with Pinkie, then spinning her into an embrace. They spun, stepped, and swung. It was like nothing else was happening in the world.
Or, that was how the couple felt. Not how a purple pony walking by felt. When she saw the couple, she rolled her eyes and grit her teeth. Bleh, I feel like I’m going to throw up. He’s acting like a crazy pony! She kept walking as she continued to think about the couple.
That night, Cheese walked off singing the tune. He knew all would be well with Pinkie. It was only the second week of his trip. What could go wrong? he thought as a taxi hit him.

Cheese felt hungry, tired, and thirsty. A searing pain shot through his head. There were two things he didn’t know. Where am I? and Who am I? He opened his eyes to see a hospital room. A beeping struck his ear, and he saw various hospital supplies. A nurse ran in. She was a white earth pony with a pink mane and tail.
“Oh my Celestia! He’s awake!”
Before Cheese could ask anything, she ran out then back in with a doctor. He was a blue unicorn with a white mane.
“What’s going on?” asked the pony with amnesia, as the doctor poked and prodded him.
The doctor wrote a few notes down on a notebook he magicked over to him. He looked at Cheese. “What’s your name?”
“I-I don’t know…” He felt alone in the universe.
“Your name is Cheese Sandwich. You are a party planner from Fillydelphia but now you are here in Ponyville. Your mother and father are in the lobby.”
Mother…Father…
He knew what parents were, but it felt weird, re-meeting his parents.
“You had a hard knock to your head,” said the nurse, “It hit the spot that affected your memory.”
A mare with a curly white and blue mane and yellow coat walked in besides an older stallion who was muscular, but not super buff. He had a messy, chocolate colored mane and a light brown coat. He examined their cutie marks. While looking at the mare’s, he discovered she was a pegasus. Her cutie mark was a cloud with sun shining through it. Who Cheese assumed was his father had a bowl with a spoon in it as his cutie mark.
The hospital patient was surprised when the mare wrapped her hooves around him and sobbed into his shoulder. The father patted her shoulder and gently pulled her off. When she composed herself, she spoke to the astounded Cheese.
“My name is Partly Cloudy. I’m your mom.”
The stallion stepped forward, “I’m yer pop, Gristle.”
Gristle had a raspy, sailor-ish voice while Cloudy had a kind, motherly voice. He welcomed them to sit beside him, he felt like they were familiar. Of course they are, they’re your parents! A few memories of them resurfaced as they answered his questions. After a few hours, the nurse shooed them off and Cheese fell asleep with a headache from all of the new knowledge. One thing that kept him up was his appearance. When he went to the bathroom earlier, he saw himself for the first time in a while.
It was like meeting a new pony, seeing his lanky legs, curly mane, and cutie mark. My name is Cheese Sandwich and I am a party pony.
Pinkie Pie galloped with the other fifths of the Mane Six trailing behind her. They had been given the good news that Cheese Sandwich had woken up from the coma he was in for two weeks. That’s right, two weeks. Pinkie busted in without signing in and ran straight for his room. She hugged him as hard as she could as the patient choked on his food.
Nurse Redheart pulled Pinkie off and gave Cheese some water. After glaring at Pinkie, she asked her to sign in. When all the Mane Six were allowed to visit Cheese, he was a little terrified. They were all very pretty and his age, but the pink one stood out, she had a nice flank and beautiful blue eyes and smile. She was still pretty terrifying, though.
After scooting back a little, they re-introduced themselves; Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie, huh, so that’s her name.
He politely greeted them and talked to them a little, the pink one seemed anxious but the one called Applejack held her back. They explained a little bit about themselves and what they were like before leaving. Pinkie Pie grumpily jumped along beside them.
“I can’t believe you wouldn’t let me kiss my coltfriend!”
“Pinkie, it’s going to take him a little while to adjust!” Twilight scolded.
“Yes my dear, but he’ll remember you soon!” Rarity cooed flipping her mane.
Pinkie’s Pinkie Sense couldn’t help but jingle her hooves. Somepony’s about to lie to somepony I know!
Her sense was correct. Across town, in a cute little cottage sat a pretty mare, sipping a glass of wine and reading the paper. She was surprised to see a certain somepony in the paper, a certain somepony who had amnesia. Her subconscious fought her in what she wanted to do. She won, and walked to the hospital. After checking in, she walked into Cheese’s room and asked to be left alone. After the door closed, Cheese rolled over.
“Hello! Who are you, ma’am?”
“Oh sweetie! I’m your marefriend!”
