"My little pony, My little pony ahhhhhhh" Those few lines bounce around in Pinkie's head as she sits calmly in an old chair her Mother gave her before her passing. The mare manages a smile as the words "tons of fun" are sung from her tape player. She listens to it a lot since the gang had passed, So had most of her friends. Until the age of 74 she stayed the same joyful self who was friends with EVERYPONY! but after AJ had died from that severe disease which had killed out most of the town she gave up. Gave up on smiles, Gave up on laughter, Gave up on...parties.
As I have said AJ died from that nasty old disease called Fudgermatinia. Twilight died peacefully in her sleep smiling and dreaming of happier days. Fluttershy died young when one of the creatures she looked after turned on her and she no longer had the ability to protect herself from anything. Rarity had a heart attack when a filly dyed her pain "blue" in her sleep. And that then brings us to Rainbow Dash who mysteriously left without saying goodbye to anypony. These deaths had left Pinkie scarred as she hadn't had the slightest thing go wrong in her life, Could she have been able to save them? Have her die and let them live their fulfilled lives in Ponyville? No, They were all accidents, nothing could have changed what happened those many years ago. Somehow Pinkie didn't believe it and blamed it all on herself.
"DINGDONG!"
The plain old doorbell rang. She used to have a trick one that sprayed water at you and stuck it's tongue out at you when you rang it but she had it replaced when a bunch of old mares her age had complained about their manes being perfect before their visit. Pinkie approaches the door only to see a trio she hadn't seen in years! The cutie mark crusaders! They were about the age Pinkie Was when they created the CMC's or maybe a little older. An amazingly big smile spreads across Scootaloo's face as she see's Pinkie's surprise. "SURPRISE!!!" The trio yell waving their arms just like fillies again. The 3 of them now have their cutie marks so Pinkie instantly thinks that, that was their surprise. "Scooter for Scootaloo, Microphone for Sweetie Belle and a juicy red apple with a bite out of it for Apple Bloom !" Pinkie says with a smile of relief that non had "cupcake" cutie marks. "WHAT? NO!" Sweetie Belle yells from across the room as she was fiddling with Pinkie's tape player. "We've had our cutie marks for some time now Pinkie!" Scootaloo butts in, "Yeah! We've come to..." Apple Bloom continues, "THROW A PARTY!!!" the trio all laugh !
The last party Pinkie had, had was for Gummy's 30th, Everypony who was ANYPONY was going to come, But Pinkie forgot to invitations... Pinkie swore to this day that she'd never throw another party. "NO!" "No?" "NO!" "So, yes?" "NO!" "Oh..." The trio looked down to their hooves. Scootaloo's where grubby with mud so she decided to look down to Sweetie Belle's hooves which were less dirty and had a nice hooficure. Sweetie Belle then walks over to the tape player, pops out Pinkie's tape and replaces it with her own, clicks the off button and signals it is time for them to leave. Pinkie closes the door and sits back down staring blankly at the tape player.......
Rocking back and forth on the heel of Pinkie's hooves she stares at the tape player, wondering, she doesn't want the kiddies to think they can make her do what they want.. but her curiosity got the better of her and she jumped up, closed the curtains acting sneakish like a spy but slower than she used to be. She then grabbed the tape player, held down the play button and listened intently.....
"uuhh, is this thing working?? Yep, ok! " She could hear Scootaloo fiddling with a recorder. "Hey Pinkie, We've decided to make this for you as we know it's your birthday in a week... It's US singing YOUR songs! Hopefully to remind you of all the parties and fun you had in your days !" "1, 2, a 1, 2, 3, 4 GO!" "When I was a little filly and the sun was going doooowwwwnnn, the darkness and the shadows they would always make me froowwwnn, I'd hide under my pillow from what I thought I'd saw but Granny Pie said that's not the way to deal with fears at all she said PINKIIEEE!" Sweetie Belle sand this part of the song and you could hear the enjoyment in her sweet delicate voice. Apple Bloom then joined in with "HIP HIP HORAAY! The grand galloping gala is the best place for me, for me ! for PINKIE!!!" Scootaloo laughed as she sang "It's just a...... hop, skip and a jump! hop, skip, jump, hop, skip, jump, hop, skip, jump! hehehehe" There was a slight pause and a rustling of paper... Then all three came in strong with "SHE'S AN EVIL ENTRANTRESS AND SHE DOES EVIL DANCES! IF YOU LOOK IN HER EYES! SHE WILL PUT YOU IN TRANCES! SO.... WATCH OUT!!!" There were a few giggles as they all did a deep voice for the final part but the show must go on as Apple Bloom announced. "Cupcakes, so sweet and tasty, Cupcakes, don't be so hasty, Cupcake, Cupcakes, cupcakes, CUPCAKES!!!!" "COME ON EVERY PONY SMILE SMILE SMILE! Fill My heart up with SUNSHINE SUNSHINE! " "I may have changed this one a little Pinkie... Hope you don't mind ! This is your singing telegram I hope it finds you well! You're invited to help host our party for a pony who's quite swell, Pinkie it's your birthday so come and celebrate, We'll make a cake delicious and the festivities be 1st rate! We have no other gift, You being there will be enough, This party is so you'll have fun with friends and feel all of our love, It won't go ahead without you so I hope that you say yes, So please oh please RSVP and come and be our guest!" Sweetie Belle then, being tired from singing said her finale goodbyes to the tape and it stopped.
"Well, That was interesting...." said Pinkie to herself.
