Infinity Quest: QuillVerse VII

It's been a week sense the Philomena incident. Pinkie had thrown a party yesterday for her pet alligator. Now she was in the Treebrary with me and Twi.

"It's soon!" Said Pinkie.

"Pardon me?" Asked Twi.

"You said we should have another party soon, and... it's soon! Here's your invitations!" She said Handing me and Twi invitations.

"'You're invited to Gummy's 'after-birthday' party. This afternoon at 3 o'clock'" I read off the invitation.

"All our best-est friends are invited, and there's gonna be dancing, and games, and cake, and ice-cream, and punch!" Said Pinkie.

"This afternoon?" I asked.

"As in, this afternoon this afternoon?" Asked Twi.

"Yes, indeedy!" Said Pinkie.

"Oh, gosh. I wish I could make it, but I've gotten a bit behind in my studies. I've really gotta hit the books" said Twi.

"And i promised to help her.

"I understand. Your studies come first" Pinkie said to Twi. "And your promise to your friend comes first" she said to me. "But don't worry, we'll be sure to save you two some cake" she said to both of us.

"Please do" Twi and me said as Pinkie started to leave.

"Oh! And Twilight, you shouldn't hit the books. You should really just read them" said Pinkie as she walked out the door.

"I'll keep that in mind" said Twi as she closed the door.

It was later in the afternoon, Twi and me where where walking into Sugar Cube Corner.

"Oh! You must be here for-" Mrs. Cake tried to say before I cut her off.

"Is Pinkie Pie around?" I asked.

"Oh, I don't think so" said Mrs. Cake.

"Good. We don't wanna her to know anything about this" said Twi.

"Yes, of course. I'll be right back" said Mrs. Cake as she went into the kitchen. "There you go" she said as she came back out of the kitchen with a cake box.

"Thanks, and remember, not a word to Pinkie Pie" i said.

Me and Twi had walked to Sweet Apple Acres.

"She didn't see you at the sweet shop, did she?" Asked Rarity.

"I don't think so" i said.

"Oh, good. I'd hate for her to ruin everything" said Rarity.

"Me too" said Twi.

"Have you seen her?" Rarity asked Flutters.

"Not since this morning" said Flutters.

"Me neither. Can you believe she was planning on throwing an after-birthday party today?" Asked Twi.

"I'm just glad I was able to come up with an excuse for why I couldn't be there" said Flutters.

"Me too! This is obviously going to be so much better" said Rarity.

"As long as we keep her from finding out about it, it will" i said.

A couple hours later and Rainbow was leading Pinkie to the barn.

"Surprise!" The Mane Five, Spike and myself said as Pinkie ran into the barn. But she didn't look happy.

"I really thought she'd be more excited" said Flutters.

"Excited?! Why would I be excited to attend my own farewell party?!" Asked Pinkie.

"Farewell party?" Asked Spike.

"Yes! You don't like me anymore, so you decided to kick me out of the group and throw a great, big party to celebrate! A 'Farewell to Pinkie Pie' party!" Said Pinkie.

"Why in the world would you think we didn't like you anymore, sugarcube?" Asked AJ.

"Why?! Because you've been lying to me and avoiding me all day, that's why!" Said Pinkie.

"Uh, yeah! Because we wanted your party to be a surprise" said Rainbow.

"We'd been planning this party for such a long time, we had to make excuses for why we couldn't attend Gummy's party so that we could get everything ready for yours" said Rarity.

"If this is a farewell party, why does the cake I picked up from Sugar Cube Corner say 'Happy Birthday, Pinkie Pie'?" Asked Twi.

"Because it's my birthday! Ooh, how could I have forgotten my own birthday?" Asked Pinkie, happy again. "And you like me so much you decided to throw me a surprise party!" She said.

"That's what we've been trying to tell you, darling" said Rarity.

"You seven are the best friends ever! How could I have ever doubted you?" Asked Pinkie.

"It's okay, Pinkie Pie. It could have happened to any of us" said Twi.

"Uh-huh! It sure could" said Rainbow.

"Don't worry about it" i said.

"I'm just glad I haven't been replaced by a bucket of turnips" said Rainbow.

"Huh?" Asked most present.

"You don't wanna know" said Rainbow.

"All right, girls! Enough of this gab. Let's party!" Said AJ.

"You girls wouldn't mind if we celebrated Gummy's after-birthday party too, would you? His party was cut short, and he's pretty upset about it" said Pinkie.

"Oh, definitely" said Flutters.

"He was upset?" Asked Rarity, Spike and Twi.

"Uh-huh, sure!" Said AJ.

"For Gummy, yeah!" Said Rainbow.

"Yeah, why not? Let's have a party for Gummy" i said.
