A pink surprise

11:32 a.m.

     Ponyville

     "Welcome to Ponyville, where everypony is as happy as can be." Applejack cheerfully said as she was guiding Alex around the village.

     Ponyville looked pretty great to Alex. It was organized, colorful, cheerful, joyous, and...well, the words go on! I mean, compared to Alex's town, this one beats it by a landslide. The only problem was that everyone was staring at him, because he was walking on his hind hooves. Most ponies would fall on their backs before being able to walk on 2 hooves for a full minute, but somehow Alex made it look easy.

     Applejack pointed her hoof over to the nearby spa. "That there's the spa, where most ponies go to freshen up for any day, especially a certain mare ah know." she said sarcastically. Alex looked at her and raised his left eyebrow up to that statement. "Uh okay." he said.

     The two arrived at Sugarcube Corner. "And this here's Sugarcube Corner, home to many of the delicious cake and pastries in Ponyville. It's run by Mr. and Mrs. Cake, two bakers who live here, along with a friend of mine." explained Applejack. Alex knew who she was talking about. "Let's go in. I'm starving for some cake." Alex said. "But you just had pancakes for breakfast." Applejack said. "You can always save room for cake!" Alex said in a happy tone.

     Once they went inside, the first pony to greet them was a completely pink-colored pony, who kept bouncing around the entire room.

     HI THERE! HOW YA DOIN'? IT NICE TA MEET CHA! WELCOME TO SUGARCUBE CORNER! I'M...

   "PINKIE!" yelled Alex. He knew that Pinkie Pie would go on and on talking and he did not want to officially go through that. "Please don't do that. Ever. I already have a little brother and I do NOT want to have another annoying thing in my life." said Alex. His little brother was exactly like Pinkie, but the only difference was that he was a boy.

     "No way! You have a little brother?! Wait. How do you know my name? I never told you it." Pinkie asked excited. Alex tried to come up with something that would make sense to even her, but before he could open his mouth, Applejack answered for him. "I told him about you before we came in." "Oh, okay." Pinkie said. Alex let out a sigh of relief and noticed that Applejack gave him a wink.

     "Oooh! Wait here, Alex! I'm be right back!" Pinkie said. She jumped up and zoomed into the kitchen. Alex was surprised that she knew his name before he could mention it. He knew he had to find out. Pinkie came back out holding a cupcake in front of Alex. Actually, it wasn't even a cupcake. It was a muffin. Just a regular old muffin.

     "Uh, Pinkie? Why are you giving me a muffin?" he asked when his stomach told him to shut up and eat the thing. "It's not a muffin. It's my SUPER DUPER ULTRA SURPRISE CUPCAKE! Once you take a bite, SURPRISE! Try it!" Pinkie ranted on. Alex once again raised his eyebrow, thinking about the possible consequences for eating this cupcake. But his stomach and short attention span said otherwise. So he grabbed the cupcake, took a bite, and waited for something to happen.

     Nothing. He assumed that THAT was the surprise: expecting something to happen and then when the time comes it doesn't happen. Shocker. However, Alex saw that Pinkie Pie was smiling big time, thinking that he had not sprung the surprise yet. He ignored her eagerness and took another bite, but after he did, confetti shot out of the cupcake.

     Alex fell on his back, gasping for air, for he did NOT expect THAT to happen. "Surprise!" Pinkie screamed in excitement. As Alex was getting up, all he could think about was grabbing Pinkie's throat and never ever letting go. But then he remembered that she's Pinkie Pie. "You alright, Alex?" Applejack asked. He nodded. "Don't worry. She doesn't surprise you ALL the time. You'll get used to it." Applejack picked up Alex's cupcake and finished it for him.

     "I wonder if her sister, Surprise, is also like her." Alex thought to himself.
