Blame it on the rain

Those who knew Pinkie pie knew it wouldn't be long until she threw her annual back to school party.

Pinkie had a party for almost any occasion. Back to school, Halloween, Christmas, New Years, heck even Easter.

It didn't surprise Fluttershy to see the pink envelop in her locker. She was surprised she didn't get the envelop sooner. It was Thursday and Pinkie normally had the party on Friday.

As her long slender fingers opened the invitation she was surprised at what she saw. The party was Saturday not Friday. This seemed unusual and...suspicious.

Fluttershy wanted to ask Pinkie at lunch why she chose Saturday instead. Unfortunately she couldn't spot her anywhere in the cafeteria.

"Have you seen Pinkie pie?" She asked Applejack.

"Sorry Sugarcube I haven't seen her since this morning." AJ said taking a bite of her sandwich.

"Who are we looking for?" Fluttershy jumped as someone spoke behind her right in her ear.

She turned meeting Pinkies excited blue eyes. The girl had a wide smile on her face and her untamed hair bounced every time she moved her head.

"Hello Pinkie I was looking for you." Fluttershy said as she messed around with the invitation she had in her hand.

"What can I do for ya?" Pinkie asked.

"Well I was just wondering why your having your party Saturday instead of Friday." Fluttershy pointed to the date on the Invitation.

Pinkie's face got serious for a moment before she busted out in a fit of giggles.

Rainbow who overheard her laughter walked over to the two.

"Hey what's so funny Pink's?" She asked glancing to Fluttershy for a moment.

"S-she said she d-didn't know why the p-party was on Saturday." Pinkie said between laughs.

  Rainbow looked at Fluttershy again before she also couldn't hold back her laughing.

Fluttershy felt dumb for asking as she watched her friends laughter dying down.

She then felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked to Rainbow who had a smirk.

"Look Shy thus party is going to be way cooler than the others." She said. "Pinkie's parents aren't going to be there and AJ's bringing cider."

Fluttershy felt like a complete idiot as she looked down. Rainbow must have noticed because her face fell.

"Hey Shy it's okay don't feel bad." She patted the other girls shoulder.

"Yeah I mean it took Rainbow a minute too!" Pinkie pitched in.

Rainbow rolled her eyes. Fluttershy smiled at her.

"I'm okay." She sat beside Applejack again.

'I just hope I'll be able to convince mom to let me go.' She thought to herself.
