Pinkie trotted to get the mail from Derpy, the sun was shining and the birds were tweeting (not on their phones, you silly goose!). Derpy handed her the mail and flew off, slamming into a tree on the way. Pinkie did not notice for she was staring at a scroll that was addressed to her.
Sweet Celestia! What did Celestia want? Was she in trouble? Did they come upon her stash of party cannons waiting for someone to set them off ( They were motion sensing ones). She slowly opened it and read.
Dear Pinkamena Diane Pie
I need you to set up a party for the Royals of Equestria. It needs to be more formal than a birthday party, but not as much that it is boring. I ask that you arrive at the castle tommorow, for the party is the next day, Friday. You will stay in the same suite as Rarity once did. You will be staying for two more weeks leading up to the Grand Galloping Gala. See you soon
Princess Celestia
"Oh boy! I have to pack and be there Friday! I will tell the Cakes', they won't mind me being gone for a while." She said happily as she started to skip to the Cakes'. They understood and handed her cupcakes for the road. Pinkie packed two weeks worth of party supplies and some outfits. She packed Gummy a bag and they left.
She left a sticky note on all of her friends doors, saying she would be gone and would see them at the GGG. She boarded the train with a smile and yelled
"Canterlot, here I come!"
The train came to a quick stop, the wheels screeching against the metal. Pinkie Pie bounced out with Gummy on her back. She looked around for any sign of Celestia. To her surprise Princess Luna stood. She was near a chariot, ready for them to ride back.
Without a word Luna waved her over. Pinkie hopped over, a footman tried to help them in, but Luna said they were perfectly capable on their own. They sat in silence, Pinkie finally spoke.
"Luna? Where is Celestia?"
"My sister had to leave on short notice. Do not fret, for I am able to assist you with the ball. Celestia will be back for the Grand Galloping Gala. She has gone to the place of the Yaks."
" Okie doki Loki! So, who all is coming to the ball tommorow?" Pinkie asked.
" Prince Blue blood, the high court of Fillydelphia, Las Pegasus, and a couple other big places, the high court of Equestria, and the sons and daughters of the court, some of them have become princes and duchesses." She finished, Pinkie realized that they were at the castle.
Pinkie looked over the castle, the castle gardens were fixed up and beautiful.
"The gardens will soon be filled with decorations that you put up. Everypony will be dancing and having fun." Luna said nudging her up the grand castle stairs. Pinkie was lead to her suite, when she put all of her things and Gummy.
"You are free to explore Canterlot for a while, but be back by six o'clock for dinner" Luna said opening the door to the suite. "I will see you at dinner." Luna shut the door behind her.
Pinkie looked around the suite. She decided it needed decorating. She put her balloon comforter on the bed and decorated the rest of the room by party cannon. Since Rarity insisted that she wear fancy clothes in Canterlot, she put a nice cloak and left.
