My Little Pony: The Human Nine's Adventures In Equestria

Sarah's POV

I finished with the last color of the rainbow as I laid the final stroke of her tail. Afterwards, I returned the brush back inside the cup of water. There that should do it.

"Thank you so much for helping me with the decorations, Sarah!" Pinkie Pie thanked as the two of us stood in front of Sugarcube Corner. The banner of Rainbow Dash we had made laid on the ground calmly, so I decided to wrap the ends of the banner on the wooden sticks to have it stand upright on the ground in front of the bakery.

"It's totally fine." I answered with a smile. "Knowing you, I thought you would've been able to handle it all by yourself."

"Maybe, but I really think we need to spend more time together. I mean, when's the last time we ever did something together like this? Even at parties? Sure, we always talk to each other, but I mean I can't really remember the last time we actually did something together, so now I thought it would be perfect for us to work on Rainbow's party together! That way, we can plan a super fantastic fun party for Rainbow Dash all while doing it together!"

I knew Pinkie Pie was being super talkative, but she was just being herself of course. Pinkie Pie giggled a little as well and looked back in thought. "You know, it seems only like yesterday when you really didn't want anything to do with me and my parties."

Oh right.... "Well.. I had... my own issues before...."

"I know, I know. You were dealing with your big meanie brother on your own, but now you have us now to help deal with your big meanie brother." Pinkie said as she hugged me with a big grin. Sigh... Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie alright. I looked at the birthday banner for Rainbow Dash and turned sad for a moment, "Sarah...? What's wrong?" Pinkie asked me.

"Oh nothing... it's just... reminds me of the birthdays I had with my papas and mama..." I said, recollecting on the birthday moments I had with my parents.

"Oh..." Pinkie realized. "Come on Gemmy, turn that frown upside down." she cooed lifiting the edges of my mouth into a smile. Sigh.... "Alright Pinkie..." I smiled and so did she.

"Hey Newbie, pink loon."

Huh? Oh Jack and the others. Pinkie and I saw all the others coming over. "Hey, things are starting to look pretty good!" Twilight commented as she walked towards us along with the other girls.

"Yeah, Rainbow is going to luv it." Ren smiled.

"It's…just a banner." I glanced over to the banner and then back at Twilight with a jokey smile.

"It'll be a lot more than that later on today!" Pinkie heartily chirped in. "We'll get a whole bunch of balloons! And cake! And party games! Party hats! Eeee! Ooh, I am just so, so, SO excited because today I'm planning the birthday bash of... Rainbow Dash!" She pointed towards the banner.

I looked up to see the picture of Rainbow Dash look a little more…realistic than before. However, it suddenly popped out with a "Yeah!". She observed her own depiction on the banner. After, she raced over to Pinkie to slap her some high-hooves. However, Pinkie then grabbed onto Rainbow's hooves and held close to her seriously.

"Rainbow Dash." She expressed with a stern face.

"Yes, Pinkie?" Rainbow returned.

"You realize that, by enlisting me as your party planner, I guarantee that this is going to be the funnest, most fantabulous, superbial party in Ponyville?" Pinkie stated boldly, having Rainbow Dash slowly lower herself below Pinkie Pie until she was lying down on the floor.

"Uh...yeah?" Rainbow flopped her ears down, proving to be not on the same length as Pinkie. "I guess."

"No guesses!" She stuffed a hoof on her mouth. "Parties are no picnic."

"Oh, I like a nice picnic party." Fluttershy raised her hoof and added with a soft smile. Pinkie Pie quickly shot back a glare at Fluttershy along with a growl. "Oh!" Fluttershy quickly retracted, seeing as how she somehow interrupted Pinkie's serious party mood.

"Parties. Are. Serious!" She faced back to Rainbow Dash. "And you have my certified Pinkie Party Promise that you will have the best birthday party ever!"

"Hoh-Okay." Rainbow Dash nodded with a nervous smile, never had expecting such a…change in Pinkie's attitude about parties.

"Great!" Pinkie reverted back to her cheerful self and bounced around. "Now, who's ready to join this super duper party pony to plan this super duper pa-rty?"

"I am." A sudden low voice broke through the positive atmosphere, surprising the girls. We looked to the source of this response to see some pony hiding in the shadows…yet…he blew a party horn.

"Who are you, stranger?" Pinkie Pie immediately asked with a bright smile. Hmmm... this could be interesting....

Alright, so who is this mystery Earth Pony?

"Name's Cheese Sandwich." He spat out the party horn from his mouth and began walking towards us. "I plan parties."

"What an amazing coincidence! I'm Pinkie Pie, and I'm planning a party!" Pinkie Pie threw out happily.

"Oh, it's no coincidence, my little pony." He answered, but I managed to spot some kind of rubber chicken on his back, leading me to be confused on what exactly kind of pony he was. "My cheesy sense was a-tingling, telling me a party was in the works."

"A cheesy sense? Ah! Double amazing! I have a Pinkie Sense!" Pinkie Pie brought up.

"Yes. I sensed you did." This new pony kept his cool, being the complete opposite of Pinkie Pie. "And I happen to be the premiere party planner in all of Equestria. If there's a party in need, there I'll be. Be it wingding, hoedown, hootenanny, or shindig, I'm your pony."

"Um…excuse me… Cheese Sandwich?" I caught his attention. "It's nice of you to offer…but…Pinkie Pie here is already planning this party for Rainbow Dash."

"Alex!" Pinkie Pie bounced over to me. "Don't you see what this means?! We want Rainbow's party to be as awesome as ever! A pair of party pony planners in Ponyville?! What can be more perfect?!"

"I'll tell you what - making this party epic!" Rainbow joined. "'Cause this isn't just any birthday. It's also the anniversary of when I moved to Ponyville!"

"Good heavens, Rainbow Dash." Rarity spoke. "It's your 'birth-iversary'!"

"Birth-iversary... lame name." Jack scoffed, earning him a smack from Rainbow, "Be nice to me today, fatty. It's my birthday."

"Grr, make me Skittles." Jack challenged before Pinkie interrupted the would-be argument by saying, "Oh, I think we can do it!"

"Oh, I don't think so." Cheese Sandwich emphasized, having Rainbow and Pinkie gasp in shock. Immediately after in all of a sudden, he threw out his desperado outfit to expose his kooky self. "I know so! After all...

And here comes the song.

The super-duper party pony–that pony is me

I always knew that was the kind of pony I would be

"Me too!" Pinkie cheered.

"Come on, ponies! Who here likes to party?" He asked and then rushed over to an elder pony walking by. "Ha-ha! You do! I can tell!"

When I was but a little colt, I just wanted to play

"Like me!" Pinkie added.

But everypony told me, 'Cheese, that fun just wastes the day'

"As if!"

But when I threw a party and I busted out some moves

"Uh-huh!"

The ponies finally saw the light and got into the groove

"You know it!"

And here comes the accordian....

The super-duper party pony–that pony is me

"And me!" Pinkie continued.

You'll never meet another party pony quite like Cheese!

"Uh, Pinkie?"

"Hey, good-lookin', want some mayonnaise?" He randomly pulled out a jar of mayonnaise and asked somepony in the audience.

My parties are all off the hook

I never plan them by the book

I start out fun, then whoopsie-daisy

Everybody just gets crazy!

Bored of snacks made by your mom?

How about a giant party bomb?

Huge piñatas filled with cake

Or dive into my fruit punch lake!

The super-duper party pony–that pony is me

You'll never meet another party pony quite like Cheese

He danced wildly in front of the crowd and they all seemed to greatly accept him.

Oh, when I throw a Cheese party, be sure to not be lame

And miss my pie fights, wacky kites, and streamers in your mane

Fizzy drinks, Hawaiian shirts, and brie fondue delight

You know that with Cheese Sandwich, you'll be partying all night!

"C'mon, everypony! Let's party down with Cheese!" Rainbow Dash announced and invited everypony to crowd around Cheese Sandwich. Of course, they all did in a flash, leaving Pinkie and me outside.

"You're really a certified party pony?" Fluttershy asked with soft excitement to him.

"That's right! That's my guarantee!

The super-duper party pony–that pony is me-e-e-e-e /i]

The ponies carrying him moved him over to someplace else after throwing him in the air for a moment.

But what about the super party pony named Pinkie...?

Pinkie Pie tried to sadly reach out, but simply laid down on the floor after feeling defeated. Oh no.... I've seen that emotion before... she feels like she's been replaced. "Pinkie…?" I walked towards her and placed a hoof on her. She quickly opened her eyes, startled that I was right there next to her. "Oh? What? Hm?"

"Are you okay?" I asked her gently.

Pinkie Pie forced out a giggle. "What are you talking about? Now, Cheese and I can plan this party together and make it extra special. Come on! This party isn't going to plan itself!" Pinkie said before she rushed off.

Sigh.... no matter how much she smiles, I can see the sadness behind her eyes.

"Yeah! Hah, now that's what I'm talking about! I'm so stoked you're here, Cheese Sandwich!" Rainbow Dash announced loudly as we caught up to the crowd. However, we remained a few steps behind them.

"Yeah. You sure did come on the right day." Applejack added from the ground.

Rarity seemed to release a small relieved sigh. "Your party sounds simply divine."

"We're so lucky to have you here!" Twilight exclaimed brightly.

"Yeah." Jamie added.

"Rainbow's party is gonna be even more special." Carrie added and Kaede and Skye nodded.

Ren and the boys agreed as well, "Just doing my job, little fillies." Cheese Sandwich answered in accomplishment, placing another hat on his head.

I glanced over to Pinkie Pie to see her walking slowly slow down as she lowered her head. Nonetheless, she kept her eyes and ears up to continue seeing what was being said afterwards. "I mean, Pinkie Pie's parties are fun and sweet and all, but now this party's gonna be—"

"Epic?" Cheese Sandwich finished, all while I noticed Pinkie Pie quickly lower her head as I knew she couldn't control the tears that were about to come out.

"You said it! Oh, yeah!" Rainbow Dash spun around and slapped hooves with Cheese Sandwich.

"Feels gouda!" He replied when Rainbow Dash noticed us in the back, but mostly stared at Pinkie Pie.

"Uh, heh, no offense, Pinkie." Rainbow added at the last second.

Pinkie quickly lifted up her head and licked clean the tears from her eyes, feigning a bright smile. "Uh, n-none taken." She closed her eyes, but then opened one to see if Rainbow Dash was still looking at her. Rainbow Dash, thinking everything was okay since she saw Pinkie smile, turned around and quickly caught back up with Cheese Sandwich.

As soon as Pinkie saw her dash out, her eyebrows furrowed worriedly, and it was if something on her back forcefully pushed her forward when she looked heartbroken. And like a lost dog, she turned around in a very small manner and walked away sadly.

Oh Pinkie.....

"Pinkie…" I called after her.

"Oh, hey… What's up?" She continued to try to smile as I was able to easily catch up to her, due to her very slow walking.

"I haven't forgotten about you." I told her.

"T-Thanks Sarah..." Pinkie Pie stated sadly as we arrived back at Sugarcube Corner just as a couple of purple balloons passed by and easily knocked down the banner to the floor. Pinkie observed this, looking up, and then slowly tilted her head downwards. I continued witnessing the changes in her face as tears swelled up in her eyes. I nudged her gently and, instead of tackling me to the floor, she only calmly turned her head towards my body to rest it on me lightly.

"At least you're still with me…" She tried to appreciate.

"Pinkie!" We suddenly heard a yell coming from nearby. Pinkie Pie quickly raised her head and looked around in panic. She spotted a tin watering can near the bushes of flowers and quickly rushed towards it to hold it up and…water nothing. "Aren't you gonna help Cheese Sandwich plan the party?" Twilight and Jamie walked by, holding a couple of small rainbow flags.

"That's okay." Pinkie chuckled nervously. "He obviously has what it takes to do it all by himself. Heh." She messed around with the watering can, not actually focusing on what she was really watering.

"Really?" Jamie returned in surprise.

"Yes, indeedy!" Pinkie nervously chuckled again and stretched out an immensely huge grin, especially when her watering can had run out of water.

Twilight and Jamie continued staring at Pinkie Pie as she held the odd grin. Then, Twilight glanced over to me with a both confused and concerned face. "…is something going on?"

I turned my eyes toward Pinkie, who only remained stretching her grin at both me and Twilight.

"Um… I'm just going to be hanging around here with Pinkie for a bit…" I replied.

"Oh…okay…" Twilight was a little…unsure of what to say. "Well…I guess I'll see you both later on then…" Afterwards, she turned and began walking away.

Once Twilight was out of the picture, Pinkie allowed herself to finally relax her face and lower the watering can towards the ground.

"After all…" She began speaking. "…if Cheese really is the super duperiest partying-est pony of them all.." She scrunched her face, as if she was beginning to attempt to hold back tears. "…maybe that means... I'm... not." The last word she spoke already broke at the end. I quickly turned around to see her heading back inside the shop.

"Pinkie." I called out as I followed her.

I trotted after her, reaching her side in the shop.

"It's okay, Sarah… I mean… I was just out-partied by another pony. It's no biggie…" She chuckled, but then sighed heavily at her own statement.

For all my life, all I've wanted to do

Was make my friends want to smile true

But maybe I was wrong…

"And Pinkie Pie shouldn't plan parties at all…

Oh man... this isn't good.

She shook her head and thought of what to do next.

I'll try to get up on my hooves

And try a different task

I'll find something new to do

There's gotta be more to me than planning a party or two…

She led me towards her room, where she began getting rid of anything that was party.

I put away my party cannon, I deflated all my balloons

The bubbles all burst, now what is next for you? She walked towards her wall, where there hung pictures with her inside them.

For you... Pinkie Pie then just sat down and I watched as her entire body turned grey and her mane and tail deflated. Gasp... Pinkie....

I can't just leave things like this... I have to fix this... and there's only one person I know who can help her. I teleported over to where everyone was setting up and was greeted by Ren and the others, "Oh Sarah, hey. Wanting to help set up the party?" Ren asked me.

"Uh... not right now. I have to borrow Carrie for a moment, please." I said before grabbing Carrie in my magic, Um.. why do you need Carrie?" Kaede asked.

"I need her to help cheer up a broken hearted and abandoned feeling Pinkie Pie." I stated to them before I teleported her and myself to Pinkie room.

Carrie immediately noticed the lack of party in Pinkie's room, "What happened?" Carrie asked me.

I sighed and explained to Carrie, "Ever since Cheese Sandwhich came here, Pinkie's felt... well.. abandoned by everyone, even her friends. I was the only one who stayed with her while everyone was wrapped up in Cheese Sandwhich and now... she thinks she's not the most partiest pony of them all."

"What?" Carrie gasped in horror and saw the grey Pinkie Pie.

"Oh Pinkie.. I'm sorry I made you feel that way..." Carrie went over and hugged Pinkie.

"It's okay.. I know everyone loves Cheese Sandwhich more than me..." Pinkie said in a deadpanned tone.

"No, we don't.... I don't... Pinkie, you love making everyone smile. You cheer everypony up when they're at their lowest. That's who you are, Pinkie. I love that you have the ability to make ponies and people happy with just a smile, you give hope to others just like Sarah, but you give hope with your smile and your laughter, that's something that can not be taken away from you Pinkie..." Carrie said with a heartfelt smile.

Pinkie's eyes widened in shock at Carrie's words and Pinkie slowly regained her color just as Carrie began to glow brightly for a moment.

Carrie's POV

Huh? W-Why am I glowing.. and why do I hear Sarah's voice?

I am thou, thou art I... Thou hast acquired a new vow.

It shall become the wings of rebellion that breaketh thy chains of captivity.

With the birth of the First Guardian of Laughter, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power.

Suddenly, a large light engulfed us...coming out of me...

Sarah's POV

"Carrie.....!" Carrie's eyes slowly opened and she saw Pinkie and I looking at me with concern. "W-What happened?" Carrie asked as she sat up.

"You suddenly fell on the ground after this light came from your heart.." Pinkie exclaimed before she gasped in shock and joy, "You have a cutie mark just like the others?!"

"Huh..?" Sarah poofed up a compact mirror and I saw that I did have a cutie mark. Mine looked exactly like Jack, Ren and Jamie's cutie marks; heart shaped shield-like cutie marks but mine had Pinkie Pie's cutie mark in the center.

"Wow...." I gasped awe. "Wait until big brother sees this one me.."

Pinkie squealed and jumped up and down happily, "Yeah Carrie."

Knock Knock Knock

Huh? Whose that? Rainbow Dash suddenly flew up to the room followed by the others, "Pinkie, I'm sorry I got all swept away by Cheese Sandwich." She apologized. "I didn't mean to make you feel like we abandoned you."

"We all are." Twilight added, followed by general agreement from the others. "Sarah told us that you were broken hearted and after some thinking we realized our mistake. We shouldn't have gotten so swept up in someone new and we forgot about you." Ren added.

"Yeah, sorry pink brat." Jack apologized.

Even Spike came walking in to apologize. "Sorry, Pinkie." He said with a sigh.

"No, it's okay. Cheese Sandwhich can headline your party, Rainbow." Pinkie said to Rainbow. "I'll admit that he's a better party pony than me."

"But Pinkie don't you get it?" Rainbow Dash landed in front of Pinkie Pie, "You're both super duper party ponies. Sure, Cheese Sandwich is a great guest party pony, but you're Ponyville's permanent party pony. Nopony could ever take your place, and we could never have a party without you!" Rainbow admitted, hugging Pinkie for a moment and allowing the others to do so as well.

"Rainbow Dash is right." Cheese Sandwich's voice suddenly spoke out, causing us to turn to see him walk in while holding his hat to his chest. "I never meant to take your place in Ponyville. I just wanted to show you what a great party pony I am, Pinkie."

"Why me?" Pinkie asked with great surprise.

"Well..." Cheese Sandwich thought back with rolled eyes.

I fear I told a little fib about my pony past

I hope that when you hear the truth, you will not be aghast

I wasn't quite the super party pony like I claim

The fact is that I was so shy, nopony knew my name

I stumbled into Ponyville one afternoon by chance

And found the biggest ever celebration party dance

Everything was perfect, cheer was filling up the place

And I saw that everypony had a smile upon their face

I vowed that day to change my life, the past I did set free

For now Cheese Sandwich was a party pony full of glee

A super duper party pony - that's what I became

I traveled all Equestria, and all did know my name

But that never would have happened on my own, I'll tell you why

He placed a hoof on Pinkie and brought her closer to him while looking up in reminisce.

For the one who threw that party, it was you, Pinkie Pie.

"Me?" Pinkie exclaimed in shock.

"Yes!" Cheese answered.

"Hah, really?!"

"Really!"

"So I was the pony that threw the awesomely spectacular party that inspired you to become an awesome spectacular party thrower?" She questioned as she bounced excitedly around him.

"Swear on Camembert!"

"Enough with the warm fuzzy stuff, you two." Rainbow Dash suddenly interrupted by cutting between in flight. "It's my birth-iversary, and you gotta throw me a bash!"

"Yeah!" Pinkie threw her hoof out into the sky.

"Let's go!" Cheese cheered.

Super duper party ponies - that is me and you

Pinkie and Cheese began singing together, ready to use both their skills to plan this bash.

A party thrown by one is good, but not as great as two

Come on and let's join forces, have twice the expertise

Now let's all go to the party planned by Pinkie Pie and Cheese!

That night, I swear my heart wouldn't stop glowing figuratively. All those lights and decorations for Rainbow Dash's birthday were amazing to see. Geez, there were so many things I thought I'd never see for a birthday. Even a punch bowl to act as a swimming pool? Wow…

I was just laying next to tree with Snowflake, Pikachu and Zoura watching everything from afar.

Rainbow Dash's party proved to be a party not just fit for her, but for everyone. I smiled in pure glee and soft excitement when I saw everyone having a good time, even the fillies that had their own little rides.

"All right, everypony! We are here to celebrate the birthday..." Cheese Sandwich announced from the stage at the center of the area.

"...and anniversary... "Pinkie Pie added.

"...of Rainbow Dash!" They both finished.

A light blue gift box flew upwards into the sky and then exploded to reveal Rainbow Dash. "Hey, everypony! Who's ready to get their party on?! Hit it!"

Get your hooves up, party's starting out right nowPinkie Pie began, greatly earning the hooves of ponies.

Everypony, everypony get down Cheese rolled on a giant cheese wheel as Pinkie continued.

Time to make a wish, better make it right now

It's been a year and today is your birthday party

Rainbow blew out the candle of her giant cake and removed the rest by blowing wind with her wings.

Make a wish, it's your birthday

Pinkie Pie invited me up on stage with her while Rainbow Dash continued to go all out.

Make a wish, it's your birthday party

Ren, Jamie, Jack, Skye, Kaede, Nicole, Rantaro, Kodiak, Applejack, Rarity, and Twilight even joined by dancing to the beat of her song. I was surprised that Nicole and Rantaro joined in despite their antisocial attitude.

Make a wish, it's your birthday

Make a wish, it's your birthday party!

The excitement and adrenaline of the party was vivid, far more than any other party I had experienced. Well…maybe it was on the same length as Miss Cadence's and Shining Armor's wedding…

Either way, as the party continued to live on, I rummaged around to find Pinkie writing in the journal as she sat in front of a table. I walked towards her as she paused her writing for a second to tap her chip and play with the pencil in her mouth in thought.

"Watcha doing?" I asked, despite the fact I already knew.

"Writing about Rainbow Dash's birth-iversary and what I learned today." She answered with a smile as I took a seat next to her. "I'm just about on the part where I was going to move and you came in and starting talking to me when I was all sad and then you said how no matter what you'd be at my parties because you love them and me too much to skip them and I was like 'Aww' and then the other girls came and started apologizing because they thought they were—"

I placed a hoof on Pinkie's mouth, causing her to puff out her cheeks for a bit. "I think we all know what happened." I honestly expressed with a warm smile.

"Oh yeah." She cheerfully responded and the stretched out her beam brightly.

Something unexpectedly was slid over to us in a wooden box.

"Just a little memento of my visit." Cheese's voice explained.

It opened and released a bright light that cause Pinkie's head to be turned away.

"You're giving me your special rubber chicken friend?" Pinkie Pie asked once she turned back to it.

I, for one, was staring more intensely and frozen-like at it.

"Oh, he's not the only one." Cheese Sandwich placed another rubber chicken on his back with a great big red two on it. "Well, Boneless Two, another job well done. But it's time we mosey along. Another town, another party."

Before he got going, I held out a hoof and called out to him.

"Wait, Cheese."

He stopped and turned his head towards me.

"Is there…anything else you do besides parties?" I asked.

"I like to make fun of songs from time to time." He answered in a goofy smile. "Smack me up if you're interested in an album." He then turned back to face away from us. "See you on…the cheese side…" Afterwards, he resumed walking, continuing on his…deep quest to be known all over Equestria. Huh…

The other girls had joined to see Cheese make his way off.

"I never did get that pony's name." Pinkie surprisingly mentioned.

"Cheese Sandwich!" All of the other girls answered with mixed tones: anger, worry, and concern.

Pinkie Pie giggled out loud. "Oh, yeah!" Then, she lifted her eyes up to take one last look at her new gift.

The Next Day.....

Yawn... well.. last night was a big one. Glad I got alot of sleep last night. Can't wait to have some breakfast. Huh? Why is the living/dining room so dark? "Hello... anypony here?"

Suddenly the lights came on and balloon and confetti came down and I saw everyone calling out, "Surprise...!"

Huh? I saw a large banner that said, 'Thank You, Sarah...!'

"W-What's all this?" I asked everyone confused.

"Pinkie Pie told us how bringing Carrie helped Pinkie see the truth about her purpose of putting smiles on people's faces and how Carrie earned her cutie mark, which made us realize how much you've helped us ever since you came here, so we all decided to put together this 'Thank you' party for you." Ren explained to me.

“And a combination ‘Happy Birthday party for Jackie, Ran and Carrie!” Pinkie added.

Oh yeah... Jack and Rantaro were both 22 now and Carrie’s now 10 years old.

"Wow... I-I don't know what to say..." I said happily.

"Well, here's what I say, Newbie. Let's party!" Jack exclaimed and everyone cheered.

I couldn't help but giggle at them. Though partying isn't one of my strongest traits, I could help but smile in that moment with my friends....

To Be Continued...
