Chapters Chapter 1 Letter From Luna
Its a bright and sunny day in Ponyville. In Sugarcube Corner Pinkie is hard at work baking. As Pinkie mixes the batter together she hum's some unknown tune out loud to her self. Gummy sits on the counter and keeps an eye on Pumpkin and Pound cake who play in the corner with blocks and stuffed pigs. Gummy stare's down at the two foals thinking, "where was my mother? how did this pink Pony come to look after me and why did she constantly Smell of Cup cake's? No matter if she came back from a jungle or a blizzard she smelt of cup cakes. " The alligator continued to ponder on that while he licked his own eyeball.
Mrs Cake trot's into the kitchen opening the saloon doors, cheeking in on her favourite and only baker. "What tune is that your humming honey, I don't think I know it?"
"I don't either! Its was in my had and insisted to be hummed." Pinkie answers happily and goes back to baking.
Mrs Cake looks at Pinkie worried for a second before shaking it off as Pinkie "How are the Triple Chocolate Orange Fudge cupcakes coming along?"
"Just going into the oven!" Pinkie bounced over to the oven with the try cupcake's in her muzzle.
"Good dearie, we're also gonna another batch of Butterscotch Cookie's. Special order for Lyre Heartstring's." Mrs Cake says as looks at the clip board on the kitchen counter.
"Yes ma'am, right away ma'am!" Pinkie sits on her back leg's and salutes.
"We're gonna need you to deliver the Cookies yourself. Im afraid Mr cake still isn't feel good after last night." Mrs Cake apologies feeling bad to be putting so much work on Pinkie.
"It'll be easy peasy and super fun at the same time!" Pinkie bounce's around the kitchen collecting the ingredients.
Mrs cake looks back in the café seeing customers waiting. "I've got to go, customers! you are keeping an eye on the babies aren't you?"
"Its okay Gummy is on the case if any thing happen he'll me know with a quick snap of his jaws." Mrs Cake looks over at the alligator and he fall's flat on his face.
"Pinkie dear, I don't think That Gummy is-" Mrs Cake was interrupted as angry Customer calls out. "Sorry, got to go."
Pinkie goes back to humming the tune she was humming earlier, when it suddenly dawn on her what the song was. "Its Photograph by nickelcolt, huh!" Pinkie went straight back to baking and humming the tune in her head.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
A few hours later Pinkie enters Sugarcube Corner having just finished delivering the butterscotch cookies to Lyre. Mrs Cake looked at the pink mare with surprise, it always amazed her how fast Pinkie made deliveries.
"Anything else you need me to do Mrs Cake?!" Pinkie asks bouncing over to the counter with the up most enthusiasm that she usually contains.
"No dear. I'll be closing up shop soon, so your free to go if you want." Mrs Cake answers while passing a cake over to a customer.
"YIPPEE!" Pinkie was about to burst out of Café like a foal on Hearts Warming in search for her friends. But she came a screeching halt as Twilight and Spike were in the middle of the doorway. "Oh hi guys, I was just coming to find you! Wait! Did you know already? Have you become psychic Twi?"
"Heh not that I know of." Twilight and Spike giggled in unison.
Pinkie came in close into Twilight's personal Space, causing her to stop giggling. The pink mare was inches away from Twilight muzzle. "Im watching you."
Twilight was slightly confused but brushed it off quickly. "Um, okay... Anyhow, we have a scroll from the Princesses for you." Spike gave the scroll over.
Dear Pinkamena Diane Pie
I am is writing to thou with the up most importance of requests. For as long as I could remember, I have organised Celestia Birthday parties. The Parties have always been the same every year, a classy social event filled with high class ponies. Even the music was classical and quite frankly it has become boring, the high class talk about the same conversation every year and the band plays the same music. This is why thou has come to thee Pinkie Pie, if im not mistaken Parties are quite a forte of yours. I would like to ask if you would be able to set up a more fun birthday party. thou may have time to think about your answer of course but I would like a quick response as soon as possible, thank thou.
Princess Luna.
Pinkie suddenly jumped into the air her legs shaking from excitement. Pure foal like joy plastered on the mares face. Twilight and Spike watched the pink mare curiously as she bounced all across Sugarcube Corner.
"Im guessing it was good news?" Spike asks.
Pinkie stopped bouncing to only randomly appear in front Twilight and Spike. "Only the best superific duper news of all time!" Pinkie answers her smile beaming.
"Well don't hold us in suspense Pinkie, what did Celestia have to say?" Twilight ask slightly giggling.
"It wasn't Celestia silly it was luna." Pinkie answers like it was obvious.
"Luna!" Twilight and Spike said in unison.
"Yeah she asked me to plan a birthday party for Celestia!" Pinkie announces with as much gusto as usual.
"Wow Pinkie that's Quite like the honour, you must be quite proud of your self." Twilight asks while being mildly surprised.
"Nah im just excited and cant wait to get started. Spike can you write a letter to Princess Luna telling her accept her request?" Pinkie asks the smile not still hadn't changed.
"Im on Pinkie." Spike answers with a salute.
"I've got to go! Party to Plan!" Pinkie happily bounced towards the back of Sugarcube Corner leaving her friends at the door way of the shop.
"So...." Spike looks up at twilight with that look Twilight knew so well.
"Yes Spike, we can get a chocolate shake before we go." Twilight smiled with slight giggle.
Octavia opens the door to her house after being away for 3 weeks in Fillydelphia performing her last album. Much to Octavia's horror she finds the house in a complete mess, Glass bottles and other trash littered the front room floor. The curtains had been torn and trashed, the kitchen was in terrible state appliances all over the floor along with other food packaging. Vinyl layed on the sofa in uncomfortable state fast asleep, her mane in worse state then it normally was. Alcoholic glass bottle surrounded the white mare on the sofa and the floor.
Octavia tutted at the sight, she had gotten tired of these parties that Vinyl were throwing. The parties were happing every week and was getting tiring. Octavia had hoped the Vinyl would of behaved her self, but alas she was wrong. The gray mare closed the door behind her and trotted over to the kitchen looking for something to eat. She had to watch where hooves step not wanting to cut her self on all the broken glass. Octavia was disappointed to find the cupboards empty along with the fridge. The gray mare gave the sleeping mare an angry glare before it softened to a worried look. Octavia feared that all these parties and late night were going to damage her. Octavia kicked one of the glass bottle's in hope's that it would wake the sleeping unicorn from slumber. Vinyl stirred slightly, but it wasn't enough to wake her up. The gray earth pony rolled her eyes at the annoyance of her friend, Octavia has always looked out for Vinyl ever since they were young and didn't look like she would be stopping any time soon.
Suddenly from out nowhere Octavia had an evil idea, she moved two of Vinyl's massive Speakers and Placed them next to white unicorns head. Once everything was in place Octavia connected all the wires and placed all the plugs in before switching the whole thing on. Octavia galloped over to Vinyl's vinyl collection (that she would play at a nightclub or gig) and picked out the one she could remember vinyl playing with loudest wubs. She place the vinyl on the turn table and turn the volume up and just pressed play letting the turn table do its work.
Music blasted out the speakers making Vinyl shot up quick as a flash eyes wide with fore hooves on her fore head as the pain of the hangover hit her hard. "BUCKING HELL!"
"Ah Morning Vinyl! I want to see what all the fuss was about your music, I sure hope it wasn't me who woke you up. Was it?" Octavia asks in the most sarcastic tone she ever spoken in.
"UGH. TURN IT OFF!?" Vinyl asks as her hangover got worse as the music picked up tempo. she wince at the loud music that use to bring happiness now just brutal pain.
"What was that turn it up?" Octavia asks with a devilish smile on her face.
"SWEET CELESTIA, PLEASE DONT!!!" Vinyl pleads, no begs for sweet release of silence.
Octavia didn't want to stop, she want to continue and teach the white unicorn a lesson. But she knew that her friend had, had enough and turn the turn table off. "So how's your head?"
"Better with the music off, thank Celestia." Vinyl sat up rubbing her temples her hooves.
"Late night last night was it?" Anger was clear in Octavia voice.
"Look before you get on my case... can I grab a cup of coffee first?" Vinyl asks with a roll over of her eyes as she trots over to the kitchen.
"I'll throw coffee over you if your not careful!" Octavia took a deep breath letting her anger calm down. "Look Vinyl im only on your case because I care. All of these late night Parties are not good for you. You need to stop having them so much, Berry Punch is just bring you down with her."
"What does it matter any more." Vinyl open the cupboards looking for coffee, but found her self disappointed when they where empty. "Nothing! Really! Ugh."
"Vinyl talk to me im your best friend. What did you mean by 'it does matter anymore'." Octavia ask worried.
"FINE! If you must know I haven't had any work in a year! I CANT THINK OF ANY NEW SONGS AND NO PONY IS HIRING ME! They don't want a pony fresh out of ideas. Im yesterday's news as my manger told me. THERE ARE YOU HAPPY." Vinyl angrily trotted over to said of the room grabbing her Shades.
Octavia was shocked she didn't know Vinyl was in this state she would of tried to help her, How was a different matter. but she would of came up with something at least. Octavia watched as Vinyl trotted towards the front door. "Where you going."
"Im going to berry's" The white unicorn spat.
Before Octavia could stop Vinyl she was gone. Now Octavia made it her mission to help friend and get her back on top.
Chapter 3 Visit From Luna
Pinkie was disappointed after checking her secret party cave, she couldn't find anything on Princess Celestia. There was nothing about her favourite cupcake, drink or music taste. Pinkie decided to go get ready for bed disappointed and made mental note, to tell Spike to write a letter to Princess luna asking about Celestia preferences in food and music.
The Party Pony started her bedroom routines same way everyday, with Gummy. She place her pet lizard into the bath tub and scrubbed his scales clean. As Pinkie made sure Gummy was clean, his mind start to wonder once more. "How comes Spike gets to talk, breath fire and eat gems. I really feel that I've been given a set of cards here, I cant even talk, I have no teeth, and I wish could breath fire. im mean, we're almost the same, aren't we? We both have tails and scales. What makes Spike so Special. " Once Gummy was washed Pinkie got out her manedryer and stared to blow dry her pet. She put up to the highest setting so she could dry him quicker but almost blew him out of the bedroom window, But Pinkie stretched out and caught him just in time with her reality defying body. "Its okay mummy Pinkie's got you." Pinkie Reassured Gummy.
Pinkie Placed Gummy in his Basket and jumped into bed after having done her own bathroom routine. She snuggled Down into the blankets with one thought in her mind: I will make it the best party ever! Soon she found her eyelids were getting heavy and before she knew it with a single yawn Pinkie was off to sleep.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The Pink Mare slowly opened her eyes one by one, finding out she was in her favourite place of all time, Candy Island. Pinkie did the same thing every time she arrived here; she galloped over the rainbow taffy bridge and trotted through lollipop forest. Only to take a dip in the chocolate river, while she took a swim she would take in mouths of chocolate. Moments later Pinkie got out, cleaned and dry her self before traveling to the great city: Fudgedon.
Pinkie loved Fudgedon, all of the houses where made out of different colours of Fudge. The population was always super happy and they loved to party. Every time Pinkie visited Fudgedon they always had massive party that spread all across the city, it just filled her with joy. Pinkie was about to bounce over to the Gingerbread Colt but she was stopped by two giant intimidating cupcakes, one triple chocolate the other strawberry swirl. "Halt Miss Pie! Our ruler wants a word with you."
Pinkie instantly took a big gulp in fear, her safe place just became scary. "Um... Sure." she followed the two cupcakes to the enormous Fudge castle in the heart Fudgedon.
They travelled all the way to the top of the Castle. They came to two large wafer door when one of the cupcakes turn and look at Pinkie. "Wait here Miss Pie." Pinkie Nodded in response leading to the cupcake entering the room In front of her leaving her behind with the other Cupcake.
As any normal Pony would in this situation Pinkies mind went a buzz with thoughts and worries. "Did I offend somepony? Did I do something against the rules? " Pinkie Gasps aloud but then quickly covers her muzzle remembering shes not alone. "Did they catch me weeing the chocolate river? Worse did they see that I continued to eat the chocolate river? "
Her thoughts were cut off as the cupcake came back from the room ahead. "Shes ready for you."
Pinkie stared at the floor and gulped once more out of fear as she entered the room in front of her. "Ah Pinkie Pie."
"Before you say anything I didn't know anypony was watching when jumped into the chocolate river!"
"Pinkie Pie?"
"I didn't mean to wee in the chocolate river and yes it maybe disgusting that continue to eat the chocolate even though I weed in it!"
"Pinkie!"
"Do I regret it? Kind of, but you shouldn't have you guard peep on ponies when they think they are alone its creepy. But then again if you don't want ponies weeing in your river I guess."
"Miss Pie!"
Pinkie finally looked up from the ground to see none other then Princess Luna sit in the throne smiling down at her. "Princess Luna? your rule here too?"
"This is a dream Miss Pie." Luna Smiled.
"Please call Pinkie. But this cant be I've been coming here for so long?" Pinkie looked at the moon princess great confusion.
"Oh I know almost every night thou come here. But I can ensure thou its a dream." Luna promised getting off the throne to stand next to the Pink Mare.
"So why are you here? Is it about the Party." Pinkie gasped in delight.
"Yes, I am quite frilled that you accepted my request. I have no doubt that thou will give my sister the best birthday Party she'll ever have." Luna grinned.
"Im so excited to get started, but I need know what cake she loves, drink, music?" Pinkie Explained.
"That's why im here Pinkie." Luna Smiled.
"Great lets started." Pinkie Pulled a notepad and quill out of no where.
Luna looked at Pinkie with amazement. "How did thou do that?"
"Well its easy if you know your in dream." Pinkie answers like it was obvious.
"It take a quite bright individual to do what thou just did." Luna tells Pinkie still shocked and amazed.
"Really its kind of obvious if you think about it. Anyway enough with the chit chat, more plan making." Pinkie rushed.
"Yes of course. My sister loves chocolate fudge cake, she loves apple Cider with a hint of cinnamon. And even though she doesn't admitted it she quite likes a few beats and wubs in her music."
Pinkie wrote down everything tha luna said to ensure she didn't forget anything. "Is there anything she hates?"
Luna looked at Pinkie seriously."Yes. Do. Not. Put. Raisins in anything! She despises raisins."
"Okay no raisins at all. Anything else?" Pinkie asks, her chirpy domineer blazing like the sun.
"No that seems to be all. Other party snacks I think thou can get from your country friend, Applejack is it?" Luna ask unsure of her self.
"That's right! She does the best apple baked goods in all of Equestria! I highly recommend them!" Pinkie bounced into out of excitement.
"Sounds perfect. Do feel free to bake any treats thou so desires." Luna Smiles warmly.
"Don't worry I have the perfect treats in mind. Celestia will love them."
"I have no doubt, but Sadly I have to go I have told thou everything that thou needs to know. I need the Party ready by Thursday is that adequate?" Luna asks nonchalantly.
Pinkie's mind was about to explode into little bits, Thursday was only three days away. But Pinkie kept her cool and knew she could count on her friends help if all falls. "That's fine I have this on lock down. Now would you join me in half of a real size gingerbread colt?"
"I mustn't... Oh Celestia lets go! The Fun shall be doubled!" Luna Exclaims galloping out of the throne room with Pinkie following close behind.

Can any Pony guess what Place real Place Fudgedon was based on?
Chapter 4 A Chance for Vinyl
Octavia woke up and knocked on Vinyl bedroom door. There was no reply from inside, "maybe she was still angry at me. " The Grey mare thought. So she pressed on and opened the door slightly, poking her head through gap of the door. "Vinyl? Are you awake?" Octavia called out into the darkness. Hearing no response not even a whine, Octavia entered the room fully and made her way over to vinyl's bed pulling of the covers revealing no white unicorn.
"She must still be at Berry's." Octavia shook her and Sighed, all she wanted was the best for her friend, her best friend. Disappointed, Octavia made her way to the showers getting ready for the day ahead of her. After A good clean she headed down stairs to get started breakfast of boiled and toast and cup of tea to go with it. Once having finished making breakfast she sat down to enjoy it while she thought of answer to Vinyl's predicament. "I could go round knocking on ponies doors seeing if they need a DJ? ...No it makes Vinyl look way too desperate. " Octavia hummed in annoyance as she lost her self in deep thought. "What if I went to her manger and beg him to take her back? ...Then again there's a slim chance i could change his mind and again Vinyl would not like to appear desperate. ...What if talked to my manger? That could work she may have a gig for her and Vinyl wont look desperate. " Octavia smiled to her self for thinking up such a brilliant idea.
Octavia finished up the rest of her breakfast and headed over to her manger: Flawless Fortune. She entered the building and trotted over to the sectary. "Oh hello Miss Melody here to Miss Fortune?" Note Strings asks.
"Yes is she in?" Octavia asks hiding her excitement.
"When isn't she, Take a seat and let know her your here." Note answers.
"Thank you Note." Octavia sat down and waited to be seen. She looked over at Note and remember how she used to have a little crush on him when they where in school. Octavia lost her self in her memories of being at School, but it could last long her name was soon called.
"She's ready for you now Miss Melody." Note told her.
"Thank you Note." Octavia got up off the seat and trotted over to the office and entered the room.
"OCTAVIA! Darling its so good to see you!" Fortune got up from her desk seeing Octavia enter the room and pulled in for strong hug, wrapping her hoof around her neck.
"Its good to see you too." Octavia replied while having trouble breathing.
"Come, come sit down, tell everything that happened in Fillydelphia. How much did they love you?" Fortune asks excitedly as she sat back down in her chair behind her desk.
"I brought everypony to tears and I got a standing ovation for it." Octavia told her as she imagined it in her head.
"I wouldn't expect any less from my favourite artist. Im so glad the trip was a success darling." Fortune was only really worried about money and Octavia knew this, but she got her good events and she couldn't argue with that.
"Thanks but im here to ask you something?" Octavia got straight to the point she didn't want to beat around the bush.
"Yes of course, what is it?" Fortune put on a smile while she hoped that Octavia didn't ask for time off.
"Well do you know my room mate, Vinyl Scratch?" Octavia asks with lump in her throat that she soon swallows.
"Ah, yes the DJ. What's her name?" Fortune asks her self while tapping her hoof on her chin.
"Well she needs-" Octavia is cut off short by Miss Fortune.
"Dj Pon3!"
"Yes that's her." Octavia nodded.
"Nice mare I use to like her music." Fortune reminisced.
"Well she needs work and her own manger disowned her. I was hoping you could help her?" Hope was clear in Octavia's voice.
Fortune rubbed the back of nervously. "Sweetheart, Darling. I would love too but, she old news and she would be bad for business. you can see where im coming from cant you?"
"I guess so, thanks anyway." Octavia got up and was about to leave, Until miss Fortune called her back giving the mare a slight it of hope.
"Tall Tale, have requested tour?" Fortune smiled, the joy of money filled her thoughts.
"Actually i was thinking of a break for a short bit." Octavia knew this would anger her but not show it.
"Of course darling you have your self a good day." Fortune replied through gritted teeth. But Octavia didn't care she left and she was back to square one with Vinyl troubles.
"I need something full of sugar, just to take the edge off." The perfect place popped into her head.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Octavia arrived at Sugarcube corner and headed to the counter where Pinkie was galloping about all over the place. "Pinkie!" Octavia called out trying to get The Pink Mare's attention. But Pinkie was too busy to hear Octavia call out causing her to call out louder "PINKIE!" But still The Party Pony didn't hear her, leading to Octavia to call out in one last attempt. "PINKIE!"
Once Octavia had shouted out she had everypony turning and looking at her making The Gray Mare blush putting her hoof . But she had finally gotten Pinkie's attention. "Oh, hi Octavia!" Pinkie chirped hopping over to the counter, "What can I do for you?"
"Im ever so sorry. I didn't mean to be so loud?" Octavia apologies smiling sheepishly.
"No, im sorry. Im so busy with this party and I have the bakery to run while Mr and Mrs cake have left on erring." Pinkie pouted but then smiled again quickly after, "What would you like?"
"Strawberry shake and a chocolate cake please." Octavia order with her stomach rumbling soon after.
"Coming right up!" Pinkie smiled brightly.
"So whose party is it this time?" Octavia asks making friendly conversation.
"Celestia." Pinkie answers casually.
"Celestia?!" Octavia answers in shock. "Well that's quite the achievement. You must be very proud."
"Nah im just excited to be doing another party for a very close friend... Hey your friends with Vinyl Right." Pinkie asks as an idea pop's into his head.
"Yeah?"
"Well I need a DJ for the party do you think she'll be available in two days?" Pinkie asks while handing over the treats.
"Yes! She'll be more then happy." Octavia smiled hoping that this could be the very thing to put Vinyl back on top. "Ill tell her right away." Octavia took her treats in her mouth and Waved Pinkie goodbye before leaving to head towards Berry Punch's house where she presumed Vinyl still was.
Octavia had reached Berry's house and put her treats on the ground before knocking on the door. "Vinyl!"
The door soon open's revealing Berry Punch "What do you want?" Berry's tone is tired and full of annoyance.
"Im here to see Vinyl." Octavia replied coldly.
"She doesn't want see you." Berry was about to close the door until another voice spoke up.
"Its okay ill see her." Vinyl Appeared at the door leading to Berry leaving. "What do you want Octy?"
"I've got you a job." Octavia smiled leaving a surprised look on Vinyl's face.
Author's Note
Tall Tale is a place equestria look it up on the map.
Vinyl Scratch looked at Octavia feeling shocked and yet happily surprised, "Your kidding me?"
Octavia smiled at the white unicorn while lightly shaking her head, "No my dear Vinyl this is no joke?" the gray earth pony answers sounding quite smug.
Vinyl smiles at her best friend pulling her into a tight hug, "Ah Sweet! Thanks Octy, so whose the client?"
Octavia looked at her musical counterpart with sly look, "Oh its just Pinkie Pie."
The white unicorn nodded her head remembering the name, "Sweet! I've worked with her before. So whose birthday is it?"
"Oh just Princess Celestia's" Octavia answers nonchalantly.
The party unicorns mouth dropped open wide, "Buck off!"
Octavia flashed big grin at her friends reaction, "No im serious."
Vinyl jumped up and down like an excited school filly, "Do you know what this could do for my carer?"
"Yes that's why should head to sugar cube corner and let Pinkie know you'll take the job!" Octavia told her.
"Buck your right. I'll make it up to you later I promise." Vinyl dashed off with out hearing Octavia's response.
"You better!" Octavia called out.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Pinkie sighed in relief as she saw Mr and Mrs Cake enter Sugarcube Corner, "Thank Celestia your back!"
Mr and Mrs cake both wore apologetic similes "We're so sorry pinkie we know how important this is to you, but we couldn't miss this appointment." Mrs cake apologised.
"Its okay Miss cake but there so much to do in such a small amount of time!" Pinkie took of her apron and galloped upstairs grabbing her notepad and gummy putting both into her mane before head back down galloping to wards the front doors. "Im waiting for dj-pon3 to arrive so if-" Pinkie stopped talking seeing the white party Unicorn in front of her. "Never mind!" Pinkie shouted out to the Cakes who shrugged in confusion.
"Hey Pinkie, Octavia said that you have a job for me?" Vinyl asked with a slight disbelief in her voice.
"Yeah will you be free after tomorrow?" Pinkie asks hopeful
"Yes!" Vinyl answered a little to forcefully.
"Great! The jobs yours. Ill let you know then times closer to the time." That sentence made pinkie chuckle to her self. "Now id love to stay and chat but I gotta go." And with that Pinkie burst off leaving behind a very happy DJ.
The Pink Earth Pony arrived at Twilights Castle In matter of seconds at speed Rainbow would of been proud of while she gathered what decorations she needed . Pinkie let her self in calling out her friends name "Twilight?"
"Im in the library!" Twilight shouted back leading to Pinkie following the voice to the library.
"Sorry to bother you to Twilight." Pinkie apologised seeing her reading a book.
"Its okay I was just reading a story. what did you need?" The purple alicorn asks while trying to hid the book.
"Can use your castle for Celestia's birthday party?" Pinkie asks use her big puppy eyes Hoping
"Of course you can Pinkie. We'll use the main hall its nice and large!" Twilight smiled brightly.
"Thanks Twilight, now I got to go and talk to Applejack." Pinkie began to leave the library when Twilight called her back.
"Do you need any help?" Twilight asks smiling.
"Nah its okay twilight I don't want to interrupt your Fifty Shades of Hay, your probably in the middle of something." With that Pinkie left a very embarrassed Alicorn Princess and headed towards Sweet Apple Acres.
In a blink of an eye Pinkie was at Sweet Apple Acres in a Speed that was not possible for an earth pony, Pinkie even left scorch marks behind her. Gummy hanged his head out the Pink Ponies curly pink mane, looking a darker shade of green then. "Why did she bring me with her? Couldn't I of just stayed at the bakery? At least I could of done some good, like sleeping. Then hopefully Mrs Cake would think I was dead and flushed me down the loo, all the way back to my home where my wife and kids are waiting. "
"Im sorry that was such a rough ride for you gummy but mummy needs to get these plans done. I Promise ill treat you to what ever you want after all of this done." Pinkie rubbed the top of the lizard's head, leading to gummy entering the hair again.
The party pony turned around and rapidly knocked on the door of the main house. Applejack soon open the door shortly after. "What is all this raucous going on out here? Pinkie? What's wrong?"
Pinkie "IMSORRYTOWORRYYOUBUTCANYOUBAKESOMEOFYOURTASTYAPPLETREATSFORCELESTIA'SBIRTHDAYPARTY?"
Applejack stood there for a minute going over Pinkies request in her head before giving a response she was happy with. "Sure I can sugar cube just leave it with me!"
"Great! Now I have to go bake my own treats and make my own decorations!" Pinkie wiped the sweat off of her fore head before smiling again.
"Do you need me to do anything else for ya? Ya seem mighty Busy?" Applejack asks worried that the work maybe too much, even for Pinkie Pie.
"Nah, its fine. Its not like the writer is going to do anything as bad as last time. I hate that I remember all the others from the last one." Pinkie let out a sad sigh before smiling again.
"I don't think follow hun." the orange earth pony tell the party pony.
"Don't worry your little applely head about it." Pinkie ruffled the farmers hat. "Now I must go décor to make and Cakes to bake." In a blink of an eye the pink mare was gone, off back to Sugar Cube Corner.
Applejack just stared at the spot where pinkie once stood. "I don't think ill ever understand that mare." But with a shake of her head and a readjustment of her Stetson, Applejack went into her house to start on the apple goods for the party.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
On the way back to Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie stopped off at the market stalls to collect what she needed to decorate the party for. but she couldn't start on the décor yet she had to cakes first. when she entered the café she found empty not even the cakes were there. But when the pink mare went into the kitchen she found the table was full of baked cakes, cookie and other tasty treats. A note was left a top of the peanut butter cookies, pinkie picked up the note and began to read it.
Dear Pinkie
We decided shut the café early today and we wanted to show our gratitude for all that you've done for us so we bake all of the cakes you need to make for party. Now all you need to do is make those decorations that you do. And if you wondering where we are were out at the park with pound and pumpkin so you have the whole place to your self.
From Mr and Mrs cake.
P.S were as proud as punch and we know you'll make the best party for the princess, you go mare!
"aww they're so good to me!" Pinkie picked gummy up and wiped her eyes before looking at him. "But now's not the to cry we have work to do. COME ON GUMMY!" Pinkie galloped straight up stairs with Bummy holding on for dear life.
"Why wont she stop! " Gummy sighed.
Chapter 6 Party For a Princess
The Day of The party
Twilight awoke to the sound of loud knocking coming from the castle front doors. The Purple alicorn did her best to ignore the knocking so early in the morning, she even hid under the pillows and blankets. But unfortunately the sound only got louder, causing the princess to reluctantly sit up from her soft cosy bed. Twilight yawned as she stretched out her hooves and wings, before get out of bed putting on all four slippers to protect her from the cold castle floors.
Twilight trotted down the hall ways heading down to the castles front doors only to be stopped by a very sleepy Baby Dragon leaving his bedroom. "Who is that Twilight? And why is she here so early?" Spike asks rubbing his eye before yawning for the tenth time this morning making Twilight yawn soon after.
"I don't know and I intend to find out." Twilight answers rubbing her brothers head. The alicorn Princess continued towards the front doors with Spike following close behind.
"Who ever it is better have a good reason for knocking so early!" Twilight shouted as she opened the door to see no one the there. "What the. no ones there?" The purple mare had never felt so confused.
"So who was knocking Twi?" The Drake asks, just as confused as his sister.
"I don't know Spike." Twilight closed the door, turning around to face. "But who ever-
Suddenly from nowhere Pinkie appeared with the biggest smile on her face. "Morning Twilight!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Twilight and Spike screamed out in unison.
"I got you good Twi!" The party pony fell onto her back laughing uncontrollably.
"ITS NOT FUNNY PINKIE!" The purple Princess shouted as she put her wing on her heart trying to calm down.
"It was a little be." Spike admitted with a slight smirk before shutting u completely from his sister's angry glare.
The pink mare got up off of the floor dry her eyes from happy tears "What are you doing here Pinkie?" Twilight asks clearly not amused.
"Well I need still need to bake celestia's birthday cake and make the salads for the party. so I was wondering instead of baking it at sugarcube corner and risk dropping it on the way here, I could just use your kitchen if that's okay."
"Sure Pinkie that'll be fine just after Spike's made me breakfast." Twilight smiles.
Spike headed to the kitchen with pinkie bouncing behind him "So could I help you make the cake?"
"Nah don't worry your scaly head about I've got all the help I need. Isn't that right gummy." Just as pinkie said that the green lizard popped his head out of pinkies pink poufy tail.
"If you say so." Spike answered not convinced that gummy would be that helpful.

Vinyl awoke to the sound of her alarm blaring some obnoxiously loud dubstep music. The white unicorn leaned over seeing her clock read 9:30 am before hitting the top it turning off the blaring music. Vinyl fell back onto her bed and thought about today. "Ugh I hope today goes well, I just need this to go well and hopefully this is the fast track to me making a come back. But what if the princess doesn't like it what if I do something wrong and I screw it up... Maybe I shouldn't do this... NO! I need to do this, I need to do it for Octavia, for Pinkie and for the Princess. but most of all I need to this for my self! " After the pep talk to her self, vinyl got up out of bed and made her way to the bathroom before heading down stairs to start the day.
Vinyl trotted into the kitchen finding her best friend cooking pancakes. "Good morning Dj Pon3." Octavia greeted with a slight smirk.
This made the white Unicorn snicker slightly. "Morning Tavi."
"So are you nervous?" Octavia asks while flipping pancakes onto a plate.
Hearing the question Vinyl gave an overconfident reply. "Nervous? pah, I could do this with my eyes closed while just using my hooves."
The gray earth Pony had finished stacking the pancakes leading to her handing them over to the white unicorn while giving her an unconvinced look. "Fine. It maybe possible that im just a tiny bit nervous, slightly." The Dj answers before face planting into the pan cakes, devouring them.
"Firstly, cant you use cutlery like a civilised pony? Or at least use your magic?" Octavia asks disgusted by the sight of her uncouth way of eating.
"Fine." Vinyl picked up a napkin to clean her mouth before picking up a whole pancake with her magic and shoving it into her mouth. "Better?" The Unicorn asks with food still in her mouth.
"Sure." Octavia replied dryly. "anyway, and secondly you don't need to be nervous this is your talent. Are you happy with your song choice?"
"Yes."
"Do you enjoy Dj-ing"
"Yes."
the grey earth pony smiled warmly. "Then you have nothing to be afraid of. Just go out there tonight, be your self and have fun."
Vinyl rolled her eyes at her friends persistence. "I know tavi and I will."
Octavia didn't catch on to her friends annoyance. "Good. Once you finished breakfast, why don't you get in good practice for tonight."
"Yes Mum." The DJ replied in a child like manner.
Octavia stared at Vinyl bluntly shaking her head. "Im just trying to help Vinyl... I want this to go well for you so you don't end up going back to berry punch she's not a good influence on you.
the white unicorn sighed sadly before answering back "Look I get it, and im grateful for you getting me the venue, but I need to do this on my own. I don't need you telling me what I need to do, I will make it off of what I decide to do, not what you tell me to do."
"Your right and im sorry I didn't mean to be so pushy, im just trying to help." Octavia looked down at the ground sadly.
"I know you were and I love ya for it. Your an amazing friend and I wouldn't of be able to do this with out your help. But I have to do the rest by self with you supporting from the side line." Vinyl put her hoof under Octavia's chin making her look up at her smiling warmly before bring her into a warm embrace.
"Thanks Vinyl your pretty awesome friend too, that is when your not making a mess for me to clean up." That caused both pair of friends to laugh. But suddenly something that vinyl had said clicked in her mind making her pull away from the hug. "How will I be able to support you from the side lines im not invited to the party?"
"Well, no that isn't strictly true." The DJ smirked at her friend.
Octavia was puzzled by this. "What do you mean?"
"You see everypony on the guess list gets to bring a plus one and im bringing you. Surprise!" Vinyl smiled.
"Thank you Vinyl! This is the best thing any pony could of done for me." Octavia hugged her friend once more squeezing tightly.
"Its the least I could do since you got me this gig." Vinyl smiled patting her friend on the back.
But once again another thought came across the grey earth ponies mind making her pull away once more. "I got find a dress!" Octavia blurted out in fear.
"Calm down, why don't you go to Rarity's while I practice for tonight. that way you get to hear my music for the first time at the party and I can blow you all away at the same time." Vinyl suggested before finishing the last of her pancakes.
"That's actually not a bad idea." Octavia replied smiling brightly.
"Hey! don't say it like its a surprise. I do have the odd good idea every now and then." The white unicorn said in mock anger. Both of them burst into laughter at the situation.

After hours and hours of baking Pinkie had finally finished Celestia's birthday cake and took a step back to admire her work feeling really proud of her self. In front of her stood a 2ft chocolate fudge cake covered white vanilla frosting, decorated with tiny fondant versions of Celestia's cutie mark. Each tier of the cake had frosting round the edge in same colours as celestia's hair and a top of the cake stoop fondant versions the Princess sisters.
It wasn't long until Twilight and Spike walked into the kitchen to see how Pinkie was doing, but instead mesmerised by the giant cake in front of them. It took the princess while but she looked away from the cake to look at her friend "This Cake is amazing Pinkie! you've really out done your self this time."
Spike agreed with Twilight "Yeah this is so impressive, great Job Pinkie Pie."
"Thanks! You think the princess will like it?" Pinkie asks hopeful.
"Are you kidding, she'll love it!" Twilight smiled making the baker feel more confident.
"Aw thanks Twi." Pinkie bounced over to the purple Alicorn rubbing the top of her head. "Now im gonna set up the hall."
"Its all ready for you." Twilight said as she fixed her mane back to normal while the baby dragon laughed.
"Your the best Twilight." The party pony made her way over to the hall, bouncing all the way there. And true to her friends word the hall was set up with chairs and table ready for pinkie to start decorating.
The pink pony brought her pink curly tail round and began to search through it like a saddle bag. She pulled out a plank of wood, a painting, a car from earth, a plumbus before throwing them all away just as she finds what she needed her party cannon. She aimed her canon at each table and fired shooting out pink and blue table cloth, plates, drinking glasses, cutlery and napkins in the shape of celestia's cutie mark. Pinkie loaded up her cannon once more but this time she was aiming at the entire room before firing for the last time. Out shoot balloon's, confetti, banners and massive banner that read, Happy Birthday Celestia!
"Looking good Pinkie, looking good." The party pony commended her self.
Twilight trotted into the hall carrying a bowl of punch, she stopped seeing that the decorations were done, it filled her with happiness and Pride that her friend was going to give her old mentor the best party Equestria. Pinkie looked round to see her friend was standing in the hall way. "Hiya Twi, let me get that for ya" she smiled placing the bowl punch one of the larger tables before return back to Twilight"so what do think?"
"What do I think? Well to quote a blue Pegasus, it looks AWESOME! Your gonna throw an awesome party I just know it!" Twilight admitted.
Pinkie let out a big sigh of relief. "Thanks Twilight, where's Spike?"
"He's gone out to he's date for tonight!" Twilight rolled her eyes, she knew for that he was head over to Rarity
"Aww that's cute, but now we have to go get dressed ready for this PARTY!" Pinkie announced with so much enthusiasm
"Yeah your right lets go." The purple alicorn led the way out of the hall way with The party pony following closely behind with a massive smile planted on her face.

Ponies started to arrive with their plus one's. Rainbow was the first to arrive with her plus one Dumbbell, followed by Fluttershy and her Plus one Bulk Biceps. The purple Alicorn Princess and The pink Party Pony trotted down the stairs to meet their friends, Twilight wore an elegant formal dress along with her own tiara. Pinkie wore bright and colourful dress and when light shined on it sparkled like a disco ball.
"Rainbow, Fluttershy! Its good to see you!" Both Twilight and Pinkie took turns hugging each Pegasus.
"Thanks for inviting us." Fluttershy thanked
"Don't thank me Thank luna she's the one who invited you." Pinkie smiled.
Dumbbell spoke up. "Well thanks for letting us come."
"Yeah! Thanks!" Bulk agreed.
"Well I knew we all had Coltfriends now and we couldn't let anypony not bring them silly. So I came up with plus ones." Pinkie smiled bouncing in one place.
"Why don't you go into the hall There's a nice bowl of punch waiting inside, snacks will be brought out when every pony else has arrived." Twilight explained, leading to their Pegasi friends trotting into the hall with their Coltfriends.
It wasn't long until Vinyl and Octavia had arrived, Dj Pon3 was wearing her signature sunglasses and was carrying her Music equipment with her magic. "Hey, we're not too late are we?" the white Unicorn asks worried.
"Nah chill out, Only couple of guest's have arrived so far." Pinkie smiled and Gave Vinyl a playful wink making the mare calm down enough to catch her breath.
The DJ smiled but then gave a serious look. "I just wanted to say thank you Pinkie for this opportunity, you don't know how much this means to me."
Twilight gave a confused look. "What do you mean?"
"Well Ive-" Vinyl was about to explain until Pinkie interrupted her.
"Vinyl had lost her job since her manger had said she was old news, which lead her down a path of drinking and partying with berry Punch. Which made Octavia very worried so she took it apon her self to find her friend a venue, that ended up find her self to me. Octavia was lucky enough to find out that I needed a DJ for my party. so she when back and to Vinyl all about the venue which led up today." Pinkie took a deep breath catching her breath back.
Octavia and Vinyl stood there stunned with a shocked looks on their face's. It took a minute until Octavia spoke up. "How did you know?"
The Pink Pony Shrugged. "A hunch."
"But how?" The DJ asks still confused.
Twilight put hoof up. "Just drop It vinyl. if me and my friends cant understand how she does thing's, I doubt you will."
Vinyl open and closed her mouth about ask something about pinkie again but chose against it and instead asks something else. "So is everything ready for me to set up in there."
"Yesss a roo its all ready for ya, good luck I know you'll be great!" Pinkie smiled.
Just as Vinyl and Octavia entered the main hall, Rarity and her date Big Mac arrived along with Applejack and her Coltfriend Soarin. "Twilight and Pinking darling's its so good to see you all."
Twilight was shocked to See Rarity with big mac and not spike, she thought for sure that Spike's secret mare friend would of been Rarity. "Like wise Rarity its been too long."
"You can say that again Sugarcube. we've all been so busy with work that we haven't had time for each other." Applejack agreed smiling.
"So, Rarity how did you and Big mac became a couple?" Twilight asks feeling curious.
"Well to cut a long story short. one night I was on way back to ponyville from checking my store in Manehattan, and the train pulled up at ponyville station and I got off to walk home back to my boutique. but in the middle of town I was corned by some hooligans who want my money. but by luck who came by, it was Macintosh and he saved me from those ruffians and brought me back to safety and from there our love bloomed." Rarity sighed happily making Big Mac go a shade darker.
Twilight smiled at the story "Well Im happy for you Rarity and you Big Mac."
"Thank you darling." Rarity smiled brightly.
"So does anyone know where Spike is?" Twilight asks worried.
"Sorry Twi, cant tell ya our lips are sealed we promised." Applejack smirked "And that note were gonna go on head." Rarity and Applejack headed on into the main hall with Pinkie waving them on.
"Have fun!" Pinkie shouted making sure they heard.
The Alicorn Princess frowned worried about spike she turned to Pinkie. "What do you think she meant by that."
But Before Pinkie could answer Spike entered the castle with his date Applebloom along with Scootaloo and her Coltfriend rumble, and Sweetie Bell and her Mare friend Sliver Spoon.
"Hi Twilight." Spike greeted sheepishly.
"Spike, Why didn't you tell me you were dating Applebloom?" The purple Princess asks with excitement clear in her voice.
"Well, I want to surprise you." The young drake smiled at his sister.
"Well colour me surprised." Twilight smiled back.
Sweetie Bell Took this moment to clear her throat before speaking up. "Thank you for Inviting us Miss Pie."
"Oh you don't have to thank me sillies, now why don't you go on in there's some tasty fruit punch wait for ya" The Party pony replies.
Once the crusaders and their dates had left Twilight looked to her friend happily. "Im so Glad He's chosen Applebloom and dropped the hole Rarity fad."
The pink Mare bounce in one place looking back at her friend. "Im Glad that everyone is happy." Pinkie beamed.
Twilight sighed happily "Well that's everypony gonna come in Pinkie?"
The pink Party Pony looked at Twilight confused "But our Coltfriends haven't arrived?"
The Purple Mare looked back at her friend sadly " I don't have a Coltfriend."
"Why?"
"Im an alicorn remember I don't die... Ill place all the cakes and treats on the tables." And with that Twilight left leaving Pinkie waiting for Cheese Sandwich to appear.
Once all of the guests had arrived they waited until Spike barfed up a letter from Princess Luna letting everypony know that Celestia and her was on their way, causing Twilight to turn out the lights and wait for Celestia to arrive.
Talking could be heard from outside the hall. "So what kind Trouble Is Twilight in?"
"We don't know. All we got in her letter was come quickly thou were in the hall?"
The door began to open letting in the light from the hallway. "Twilight are you okay?"
Twilight turned the lights on leading to every one shouting "SURPRISE!" Making Celestia face lit with glee.
"Oh my, Idk Know what to say Thank you this all looks so amazing. Who set this Up?" Celestia asks smiling as bright the sun.
"I did Sister I headed to the best party planner there was. The element of laughter miss Pinkie Pie." At the mention of her name the Party Pony came bouncing up.
"Thank you for all of your work, this all looks amazing. I mean look at that cake its fantastic. This all means so much." The princess spoke in soft motherly tone.
"It was my pleasure and if you don't mind." Pinkie nodded at The White Alicorn Princess asking to lean in closer so she could whisper, to which the princess complied. "It would be my honour to get this party started."
Celestia chuckled at the pink pony, "I don't mind at all."
Pinkie saluted before quickly turning around to face DJ Pon3 "DJ lets get this party started!" Vinyl nodded took one look at Octavia smiling face and the fear all washed away. She placed a vinyl on the turn table and let the music Play filling the room. "Coming everypony lets hit the dance floor!" The party mare cheered.
Everypony grabbed hold of their dates and headed to the centre of the room and started dancing to the music. Twilight stood at side of the room watch her mentor dance with her sister. "Well done Pinkie. You planed the best party!"
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The sun is shining high into the sky, a slight crisp breeze flowed through the air making the day just perfect. Octavia sat outside sugarcube corner waiting for a Iced Chocolate Frappe. As she waited for her drink Octavia sat and read the news paper and to her delight Vinyl was on the front headline.
Dead DJ comes back to life with her hit new album: silver lining. her tours are a hit success around equestria and I cant wait to see what's next for DJ Pon3.
Soon Mrs Cake came out of Sugar Cube Corner placing the Iced Frappe on the table for Octavia "Here you dearie."
"Thank You Mrs Cake. So how's Pinkie doing?" Octavia asks curious.
Mrs Cake perked up at the mention Pinkie. "She Doing great dearie. Pinkie's be become the number one party planer around Equestria. Well, her and her husband Cheese Sandwich. They're setting up parties all around Equestria, They couldn't be happier."
"Good, im glad." Mrs Cake left to go back to work. "Well here's to you both I wish the pair of you lots of luck." Octavia took a sip of her iced frappe toasting Vinyl's and Pinkie's success.
