The cold winter air bit into Pinkies uncovered flesh. Pinkie quickly stopped to rub her hooves together for warmth. She sighed and sat down with a thump against the cold cobblestone walkways. She looked around miserably and noticed she was alone due to the late hour. She sniffed and raised silver and black cracked mask to examine. She quietly trembled and cried as memories of the party she had for Twilight came rushing back to her. The quiet cries become great sobs that shook her entire body to the point where she fell and curled into a ball on the cold unforgiving stone.

"Twilight!"

"Twilight!"

Startled, Twilight turned from the store window she was looking at to find a pink pony grinning and bouncing in place. "Yes, Pinkie?" Twilight asked with an amused expression.

"Lookie at what I have for you!" Pinkie Pie said with joy and handed Twilight an envelope with a faint scent of cake batter.

"In honor of hearths warming eve I, Pinkamena Diane Pie, will be holding a party at Sugarcube Corner, but not just any party its a masquerade!" Pinkie shouted in joy. Sparkles dancing in her eyes gave away her hope and joy for the oncoming party.

"Oh, well Spike and I would love to attend when is it?" Twilight asked a grin working its way onto her face.

"The party will be a week from now, and I'm inviting half the town! There's going to be games, dancing, and music. So be ready to shake your groove thang!" Twilight smiled and thought of the last time Pinkie hosted one of her famous parties. It had been too long.

"Well don't worry Pinkie I'll be there." Twilight gently picked the invitation up in her magical grip and started to walk to her castle.

"Oh wait, Twilight I have something I need to tell you at the party. Will you meet me at the punch bowl a little into the party?" Worry threatened to crumple the happy facade Pinkie supported on her face, but she held firm. Twilight shouted conformation and continued on her way. Pinkie bite her bottom lip in worry of the events the party might hold.

Pinkie blubbered and mumbled to her self in the cold, lonely streets of Ponyville. This wasn't supposed to happen! Not like this. With horrifying detail, she recalled the last moments of the party before her swift departure.

Pinkie looked around at the guests and was pleased to see everyone enjoying themselves. She had gone all out with the decor and while it had taken days to set up, but it was worth it to look at the golds, silvers, and blacks blend to form a jaw-dropping experience. She had done this all for one pony. She smiled seeing her soon to be special somepony waiting for her at the punch bowl with a cheery grin she started trotting happily to her when she stopped suddenly.

Rarity and Twilight were in a deep looking discussion, so she waited for them to finish. She took the time to adjust her mask and fix her outfit. It had to be perfect for her. She noticed Twilight smile and nod enthusiastically at something and it began to look like the conversation was over. Pinkie started making her way to Twilight going through all the things she planned to say when suddenly Twilight and Rarity leaned in and shared a soft, chaste kiss.

Pinkie stopped. Her entire world seems to tilt and shatter at the innocent yet, agony-inducing kiss. She faintly recalled collapsing and her mane reverting into its straight counterpart. All she knew was the cold embrace of rejection. She felt hooves shake her and voices call her name. Pinkie Shaken out of her stupor she looked up to see Twilight, and Rarity's concerned faces looking at along with everyone else. "Pinkie are you okay? Whats wrong." Twilight asked her voice panicked. Pinkie looked up with horror and bolted pass everyone, failing to open the door before slamming her face on it. She heard the crack of the mask but registered no pain. She ran off into the dark, cold night leaving everyone to worry and ask others if they saw what happened.

Her soft heart-wrenching cries had abated to silent tears falling from her eyes. With a sigh, she looked into the sky hoping for a sign or answer. She was met with silence and closed her eyes. "Oh Twilight, I love you." Her declaration of love was only known to the heavens.
