   Pinkie got up from bed. She had a special order today. A pony named 'Surprise' was coming to Ponyville, and requested a party. But she said she specifically want the Elements there. Especially Pinkie. On the phone, she probably said her name thirteen times. And sounded...oddly familiar? Pinkie knew today was gonna be a busy day. But that didn't get her out of her happy mood. Instantly, she spun around to the blank stare of Gummy.

"Heya, Gummy!" She ended with a weird giggle-snort. Gummy just blinked in response. Pinkie had a party to make, and needed everything from invitations to streamers and balloons and- Is that Twilight?

   "Hello, Pinkie. Just came over to say that I always wondered....whatever happened to your family? If that's not too much to ask. I know it was a rough lifestyle." Twilight said with understanding. And for once she thought Pinkie's hair looked a little more dull today. Yet, she was hiding it in a smile. And it sure wasn't genuine.

"Um....maybe some other time. Soooo, anything else? Can I get you a cupcake, cookie, anything?" Pinkie replied, her tone ever so slightly different only she would notice. She desperately wanted to change the subject. Twilight, fortunately for her, didn't notice a thing. She just smiled warmly, like nothing happened.

"Oh, that's okay. I heard you'll be very busy for a special party." Twilight said. Then, Pinkie remembered. The party! Almost forgot! And Twilight's invited! Pinkie gasped, and Twilight's reaction was a puzzled expression.

"Oh yeeeeaaaah! You're invited Twilight!" Pinkie gave her an invitation that seemingly came out of nowhere.

"Um...thanks, I guess?" Twilight replied, confused. She quietly trotted home, almost tripping over a rock as she was lost in thought about how Pinkie got the invitation.

Pinkie, of course, knew what she would do for the party. Make it-as Rarity would say- THE. BEST. POSSIBLE. THING.


   Inkie soon woke up, smiling as she saw her pinkie doll snuggled up with her. She hugged it quickly before getting up to get everything ready. Soon after that, she met the train conductor. He was a but grumpy today, so she just gave him the tickets and got in the train. She casually looked around the part of the train she was in for a decent seat. Until something, or shuld I say Somepony caught her eye.

That coat looks familiar.....so do those eyes...and... Inkie gasped as she realized who that pony was. Okay, be a stranger, who knows how she will react. I don't even know if she likes Pinkie... Inkie remembered the times with that pony. She never really did anything then the routine.

"Um, Miss, would it be okay if I sat here?" 'Surprise' asked.

"Fine." was the only word that came out of the mare's mouth. Inkie felt sad she was still bitter like long ago. I guess even Blinkie was a runaway....
