First it was off to Fluttershy's, I'm guessing it was because she's my neighbor... Or because Pinkie just wanted me to meet someone unbiased to other species... Probably a mixture of both.
When I said my house was slightly south of Fluttershy's I meant that it is about a hundred meters away, with a picket fence 10 meters in all direction around my house... Which means that Pinkie is already calculating how much Food Per Square Inch* to bring for seven people... Hopefully just a single tray of cupcakes and a cake.

"FLUTTERSHYYY!" Screamed Pinkie into my ear

"Huh, wha, shmallo ahapn penk" I mumbled, disoriented and wondering whether my ears had exploded again.

*rIiiiiiiiing* I could see Pinkie saying something and a creamed-butter yellow pegasus saying something back. but I couldn't for the life of me hear-

"Are you ok Uncle Uby? I'm sorry about the ears." Said Pinkie. Well my hearings back at least.

"It's alright Pink, It was an accident, Just try to be more careful around this ol' stallion eh?" I joke, noticing Pinkamina coming back out.

"Umm, who, who are you? If you don't mind." Said Fluttershy, I could barely hear her over the remaining rings in my ears.

"This is my Uncle, Watcher Pie! He's the Bestest Uncle Ever! He even owns that house that just got built over there!" Said Pinkie, I could tell she was completely guessing about that being my house specifically, but she was still right.

"It is very nice to meet you miss?" I say, bowing and kissing her hand lightly, causing her to practically glow red.

"oh i'm uhh, Fluttershy, It's very nice to meet you." She said, her blush going down slightly.

"Wanna come to His housewarming party? Huh huh? Do ya?" Said Pinkie. I know for a fact that she knew what was happening... dammit.

"Try that again and I'll Invite the whole town Uncle." She whispered to me... Ok none of that while she's around I get the message.

"If it wouldn't be much trouble I'd love to come!" Fluttershy Whisper-exclaimed.

"See ya there then, Pink is gonna introduce me to her other friends so I do apologise for the time wasting, You little.. Rabbit is looking quite mad, You may want to show him your dominance..." I mused allowed, while excusing us.

As we left Pinkie turned her head, narrowing her eyes at me.

"No flirting with Flutters unless you mean it, Got It?" She said, being serious... I guess Fluttershy must be soft-hearted.

"Very well My Dear, I won't flirt, but that doesn't mean I won't act the gentleman. And you should know that I would be able to let her down, while making her feel good about it." I say.

"Didn't you tell me you made that girl cry last time?" She deadpanned.

"*sigh* It was for the best and you know it, besides she found love, His name is Shining Army or Armoury or something." I retort, though it would have been good to be with someone who is an Immortal she had another destiny and I was a mere cobblestone in her path. (Poetic I know).

"As long as you know what your doing it's fine with my other friends, just not Fluttershy." Said Pinkie.

We arrived at a place that was so frilly, there was definitely a sex dungeon or dead people in the basement.

"We're here! The Carousel Boutique, Where everything is Chiq, Unique and Magnifique!" said Pinkie, snapping me out of my wonderings.

"Well my shame was lost as soon as I saw this place... Let's knock!" I concluded, nodding my head at my flawless logic. I, of course, knocked the old 'Shave and A Haircut'

"I'll be just two bitutes, Come in and make yourself at home!" I heard a singsong voice say, with an obviously fake accent (To me at least)... she got extra brownie points for working two bits into her words.

"Okie Dokie Loki!" Said Pinkie, opening the door and bouncing in, then waving me inside when I hesitated.
I stepped inside and was amazed.

It was a normal house on the inside, i mean, the living room had obviously been renovated into a tailor's workshop, but apart from that is was just like any other... that you see in Canterlot.

"Pinkie dear? is that you?" I could hear her coming down the stairs

"Yepperooni" Pinkie replied "And I have somepony to meet you!"

"hmmm? and who is this mysterious stranger be?" As she said this she walked into view, an astonishing sight I assure you (I still prefer Celestia).

"Rarity meet my Uncle Watcher Pie! Uncle Watcher meet Rarity!"

'Hello Mr Pie, to what do I owe the pleasure?" said Rarity, obviously not knowing my character, as it were.
"Good afternoon Miss Rarity, Pinkie's just showing me around town and introducing me to her friends, say, is that the new mane-cut of the season i see?" I say, Knowing how much effort she actually puts into her hair (She sits still for Three hours every day! Her alarm clock goes of at 3 in the morning to do her HAIR!).

"Oh thank you darling, and, forgive me for my rudeness, but why hasn't Pinkie mentioned you before?" Rarity asked.

"I tend to wander from place to place, and I've exhausted my Wanderlust for now, so I'll be living in ponyville from now on, A 'base of operations' as it were." I said, chuckling

"Yup yup yup*, Uncle Watchers going to be living off his retirement by the forest! And guess what?! No don't Guess!" Said Pinkie, amusing us. "YOUR INVITED TO HIS PARTY! Well, more of a get-to-know-each-other gathering but you get the point!"

"And at what time should I arrive Dear? I need to look my best after all!" said Rarity

"How about six thirty? The party starts at seven so it'd be fastidiously early!" Said Pinkie.

"It's fashionably early dear," corrected Rarity, "and six thirty it is!"

"Alrighty! I guess I'll see you again when you arrive, until then Miss Rarity." I say, ending with a bow.

"Yes you will dear." Said Rarity, shooing us away with her hand, Presumably wanting to go to work


Ten Minutes Later, Sweet apple Acres Dr, Ponyville


"Lollipop lollipop Oh lalalalala Lollipop *POP*" We sang, arriving at the entrance to a grove of appletrees... So many that Johnny Appleseed would have a heart attack.

"So this is Sweet Apple Acres?" I say as we arrive at the 'driveway' with it's own street-name.

"Yep! Come on Uncle, wouldn't want to keep them waiting!" Said Pinkie, bouncing ahead

I shook my head and replied "All right all right, I'm coming." I started walking after her. "Wait, did you say them?"
