What Could Have Been

Pinkie Pie energetically leaps out of her bed. She lands with a rather loud noise. She realizes that it is only around 5 A.M., so she should try to be more quiet. Someponies might actually want to sleep. Sleeping was about unthinkable to Pinkie at this moment,  she was too excited. Today was Twilight's birthday, and Pinkie was determined to throw the best party she could. Twilight hadn't actually told Pinkie that her birthday was today, she had asked Shining Armor. Pinkie believed that Twilight hadn't told her because she didn't want Pinkie to make a big deal of it. Pinkie rather disagreed with this, aging even one year was quite a big deal in her eyes.
