Happy Birthday Bumper!

It was the day of Bumper's birthday and all the guards had just finished decorating the castle ball room for it. Including a recently suggested feast item that had a tarp on it, everypony came the party. Including Bumper's parents, Sweet Song (of course wearing her cloak and shivering.) And even the royal guard's Shimmer Sword and Watch Dog. The gifts we're on a separate table as they all waited for Timidthy to come in with Bumper.

Meanwhile the prince in question was closing in with Bumper surprisingly nervous as blush was present on his face.

"I-I'm not sure....what if it's there." Bumper whimpered considering if he should even celebrate his birthday. Timidthy looked at him with compassion,

"Bumpy, I'm telling you there is no way ponanly possible that su-" He said but Bumper gave him a look.

"Don't say it. I don't want to hear the word." He said and Timidthy nodded as they stopped by the ball room door, Timidthy put a hoof on Bumper's shoulder.

"Listen if anything happens I'll help you if Discord comes and turns everything in the room into you know what. I'll handle it. This birthday will be one to remember for the right reasons. Okay?" He said and Bumper nodded sucking the tears he had back into his eye's,

"Good." Timidthy said as he waited for Bumper to get his composure. Once he did the alicorn opened the door, as soon as everypony saw Bumper they all said.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUMPER!" The colt smiled as Timidthy nudged him in his own little way to tell him he was worrying about nothing. Everypony gave their congratulations and before Bumper could even take a breath the other kid's pulled him over to the table. Timidthy watched from afar as he wanted to talk to the his personal royal guard's. Curious to see what type of training Bumper was going through,

"We got you the best gift ever." Blood Bones said.

"Yeah your gonna love it!" French Press said as Bumper was already vibrating with excitement,

"Come on show me!" He said. Sweet Dreams giggled, she grabbed the tarp.

"Alright here it is!" She said before she pulled the tarp off revealing five different types of sushi. Which we're Nigiri; a topping, usually fish, served on top of sushi rice. Sashimi; Fish or shellfish served alone (no rice). Maki; rice and filling wrapped in seaweed. Uramaki; similar to the second one, but with rice is on the outside and seaweed wraps around the filling. And finally Temaki; sushi that has been hoof-rolled into a cone shape.

Bloom, Butcher and Timidthy gasped as they paled. They we're frozen in horror as Bumper's eye's widened and started to gleam as he started to shake. Timidthy looked at his personal guards and they nodded back getting ready for anything.

"Thumpy; you okay?" French Press asked slightly concerned,

"Yeah.......I....I....just......really.....like....SUSHI!"Bumper said screaming the last word before jumping towards the table.

"No!" Butcher and Blossom screamed and everypony gasped as Bumper landed on the table and started stuffing his mouth. Timidthy tried to use his magic to drag his friend off the table. But it was as if Bumper was immune as he continued to eat with no problem, Shimmer Sword and Watch Dog ran over and grabbed the crazed colt by his back legs. Bumper started siding off the table as he growled like a dog and chewed up sushi dripped from his mouth.

"Wha-What's wrong with him!?" Sweet Song said considering to bolt out of the castle,

"We'll explain later just help the guard's!" Butcher ordered and everypony started pulling as well. In a desperate attempt to get Bumper under control,

"Bumper calm down!" French Press said now generally worried for her coltfriend. But unfortunately he wasn't listening, in fact he was now using his magic to get the sushi he wanted. Once his mouth was stuffed he charged his horn and blasted everypony in opposite directions. When everypony shook off the spell they saw almost every piece of sushi on the table was gone. By then Timidthy had enough,

"Guy's dog pile on Bumper!" He said and his friend's did as they we're told. Bumper immediately fell flat and struggled against the weight. Timidthy teleported away as his friend's we're slowly but surly being thrown off, the adults tried to get the sushi off the table. But it seemed to power Bumper's determination even more. Timidthy then teleported back just in time to see Bumper throw the last of his friends off; Citrus.

The alicorn teleported onto his unicorn friend and slapped the patch on his chest, Bumper stopped for a moment. But that was all the time Timidthy needed he put his horn to Bumper's and cast the required sleeping spell. Bumper's eye's went limp along with the rest of his body, once Timidthy saw his breathing had slowed he got off. He took in a couple of breaths before Butcher and Blossom ran over, Blossom picked up her son. Who had chewed sushi falling from his mouth as pieces of it was in his mane and tail.

"H-He's going to he okay......right?" Timidthy asked what everypony was thinking,

“I hope so.” Butcher said before him and his wife walked off with a sleeping Bumper. Timidthy turned around and saw everypony had a look of curiosity and concern,

“I can’t tell ya Bumper; I promised. It’s Bumper's choice.” He said calmly. And everypony excepted the answer even though it wasn’t the one they wanted. Everypony then started to clean up the room but they we’re all distracted worrying about Bumper. Especially Timidthy who could only imagine how embarrassed Bumper would be when he eventually woke up. Once the room was spotless everypony picked up the gifts that we’re still intact.

And walked their way to Bumper's house with tense and awkward silence along the way. But Timidthy couldn’t help but pray; ‘Please let Bumper be okay. Please. Please. Please.’ And Butcher and Blossom we’re thinking the same thing.
