CYOA: A Day in Ponyville

You wander back towards the town center. You can see ponies all having a good time in one of Pinkie's celebrations. Maybe she didn't strictly need your help? You head into the throng of ponies, just trying to enjoy the moment. "Don't think I've been to a party quite like this."

"Same here!" A drunk stallion bumps against you with a sloppy grin. "Pinkie sure knows how to throw 'em."

You slip away from that pony and head towards a friend. You see Bon Bon hanging with Lyra by the snack table. "Oh, hey there."

"Hi." Bon Bon looks around at the other ponies. "Not busy right now?"

"Doesn't look like it." You nudge her lightly. "That's why I came over. I wanted to be with the cool ponies."

Lyra laughs, smiling at you. "Is that why you hang out with us?"

"Maybe." You playfully bat at Lyra with a hoof. "Enjoying yourself?"

She shrugs lightly. "I still don't know what this party's actually about. A birthday? But for who?! Pinkie didn't say! It's fun enough though."

"It's always good to have a party." Bon Bon glances at you. "One of those things Ponyville does pretty well."

You lean against the snack table, munching on a cupcake as you watch the rest of the crowd. "Maybe the birthday pony's already here. Odd she wouldn't announce them."

"Probably." Lyra nuzzles your cheek. "Maybe the mystery's part of the fun."

You laugh at that. "When has Pinkie ever not thrown a great party?" You join in with the song playing nearby, having a great time.

At least until you hear a new voice singing along, right next to you. You start, realizing Pinkie snuck up on you.

"How'd I do? Is everypony having fun?!" She's got her eyes on you and she is grinning widely. "I saw you're not too busy right now, so maybe you can help me out?" Your halfhearted reply is enough to get her dragging you away to the center of things. "Everypony! The birthday pony is here!" She waves at you dramatically. "Took them a bit. I tried to get them away from work, but that didn't work. Thankfully, they came anyway!"

You go crimson. All those ponies are staring at you now. "Um, it's not my birthday."

Pinkie blows a party whistle in your ear. "It is today! And that means presents! Seriously, I know birthdays, and this is yours. Silly pony, all distracted by work."

You:

A: Go with it!

B: No, really, not my birthday. Silly Pinkie...
