Happy Birthday Applejack

Pinkie Pie

…awoke that morning with balloons and streamers flying out of her bed.

“GOOD MORNING PONYVILLE!” She announced while she flew out of her bed. She slid across the room and rammed head first into a calendar on her wall.

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Applejack’s birthday is this week! Of course it is this week Pinkie Pie, you been talking about it for the last month. Why you ask? Because it will be the biggest party I ever hosted EVER! With cakes and balloons and games and pin the tail on the pony. You can’t forget pin the tail on the pony. It is going to be fun, fun, FUN!”

Pinkie Pie could not hold in her excitement. She bounced up and down around her room, into the hall, down the stairs and out the door. She hopped down the street and sang a little tune because she could not hold in her exploding joy.

Hey everypony everywhere

Something real special is almost here

It is the super special party for a pony

One we all know near and dear

It’s for happy good old Applejack

And her super birthday is very near

She is having a super party

Maybe the greatest one this year

Hosted by PINKIE!

She hopped down the street until she came upon Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack was in the orchard bucking apple. Pinkie Pie hopped up to Applejack and said…

“Guess what is coming up! Guess! Guess!”

“I know Pinkie Pie, my birthday.”

“And?” Pinkie Pie scooted in close to Applejack.

“My birthday party.”

“Hosted by?” Pinkie Pie got even closer.

“You.”

“CORRECT!” Pinkie Pie pulled out a trumpet and blew sparkles out of it. “It going to be the most super awesome party in Ponyville. I am so excited! Are you excited? Of course you are excited, it is your special day.”

“Uh, Pinkie Pie?”

“Yes Applejack.”

“Can you tone it a bit down on the birthday thing? I’m not in the mood right now.”

“WHAT! Not in the mood??? How can the be? It is your birthday. OH MY GOSH! You don’t like my parties!”

“No it is not like that. I love your parties. It just at this point in time all I want to think about is bucking them apples. OK?”

But Pinkie Pie’s grouchy face showed that it was not ok.

“Fine, I’ll come back when you are feeling better.” She turned away and walked off, grumbling under her breath.

Applejack feeling bad yelled, “It was nothing you did Pinkie Pie, it’s just…” her voiced lowered to a whisper “…me.”

Pinkie Pie continued down the road still in her bad mood. She then came across Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash.

“What’s up Pinkie?” Asked Twilight.

“Applejack is not excited about my party for her.” Pinkie Pie grumbled.

“Well maybe because you have been talking non-stop about it for a month.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash is right, you have been talking about a lot.” Said Twilight.

“That’s because it is going to be ultra super special!” said Pinkie Pie.

“Maybe she is busy with her apples and wants to focus on work.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“But last week when I visited while she was working, she was excited. And the week before that and the week before that.” Said Pinkie Pie.

“Odd, maybe something is up. I should go talk to her. Don’t worry Pinkie Pie, she will love your party, she is just in a bad mood and all.” Said Twilight.

“Humf! I hope so.” Said Pinkie Pie.

“And maybe you should let up on talking to Applejack about the party…maybe until the day of the party. It may even make it more of a surprise for Applejack.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Oh! I love surprise parties!” Pinkie Pie said with a smile as she began to bounce around.

She bounced off towards town while Twilight headed to Sweet Apple Acres.
