Pinkie Pie was the happiest pony in town this morning. Why? Because the Circus was in town, and she was ready to go see all of the performers and animals. She had quickly done her chores and took care of cleaning up Sugar Cube corner in hopes she could get out faster.

Pinkie Pie jumped down the stairs and yelled "I'm ready! Circus fun! I'm ready! Circus fun!"

Mrs. Cake stopped her right there, "Pinkie, your going to make sure to sell as many cupcakes as you can, right? I'm still not sure if we should be leaving you in charge of the mobile cart."

Pinkie Pie giggled, "Oh I won't forget! I'm sure every pony will love the animal designs so much it would be hard NOT to sell out!"

Mr. Cake came into the room, "Well I'm glad your being optimistic Pinkie. Just please, try not to get distracted too much."

Pinkie threw on a Sugarcube Corner apron and replied "You can count on me Mr. Cake!"

Pinkie Pie then grabbed a cart stuffed full of animal based cupcakes and began heading out the door at the speed of speed.

"Be careful!" Said Mrs. Cake, "Oh dear, have fun, but don't forget to sell as many as you can!"


Pinkie Pie hummed as she came into the crowded circus. Many ponies were heading in one direction, the main three ring tent. Pinkie meanwhile was staring at everything she passed, while saying hell to almost everypony she passed.

"Hello mr. clown! Hi ring toss carney!" She said while waving.

Pinkie then looked around thinking of were she should put the cart. When suddenly, she noticed to animal pens, and decided to go over there, because monkeys.

Pinkie went the speed of speed again and stopped right beside one of the pens, while all around were pens holding Giraffes, elephants, a couple lions, Kangaroos, and a mine turtle. Pinkie stared at them, but then remembered her mission.

So, with a pull of a lever, the cupcake cart popped out into a full stand to sell cupcakes. It was convenient they had designs of animals considering of were the cart was placed.

"Come one, come all! animal designed cupcakes! But not animal flavored, that'd be gross!" she yelled with no need of a megaphone.

In short time, a group of ponies gathered round, and pinkie was having her hooves full selling dozens of the cupcakes. after a few minutes, the small crowd dispersed with pleasure.

"And there is your cougar cupcake!" said Pinkie as she happily put a smile on a young filly's face.

Pinkie then sat back and looked around again. When suddenly, she felt a tug on her tail. She turned around to see a lone monkey in it's pen behind her cart pulling on her tail.

"Why hello!" she said, "How is your day?"

The monkey tipped it;s head as if to say "alright". Pinkie giggled, and noticed it staring intensely at one of the cupcakes.

"Oh, do you want this cake?" asked Pinkie Pie.

The monkey nodded as if saying "I want it."

"You want this cake?" asked Pinkie again as she picked up the cupcake.

The monkey drooled and shook it's head up and down faster as if saying "I Want It!"

Pinkie then came up closer to the monkey, "You want this cake?"

The monkey held out it's arms like saying "I WANT IT!"

Pinkie smiled, "You want you want?"

The monkey then flipped as if saying "I WANT THAT CAKE!!!"

Pinkie Pie looked around, "I'm not supposed to feed you..." she then scoped the area again, "But have it, on the house since monkeys can't grasp the true form of currency!"

Pinkie Pie tossed the cupcake to the monkey, and it happily ate it. Within 15 seconds it was licking the remains off it's lips.

Pinkie reached in and patted the monkey on the head, "How was it?"

The monkey did a flip, then sang "Give it some words, and."

Pinkie coked her head, "What?"

The monkey sang again, "Give it some words, and..."

Pinkie Pie was baffled, until she noticed the sign on the cage. It said The Amazing Singing Monkey!

"Oh! that's like your special talent, singing, am I right?" asked Pinkie.

The Monkey nodded, then ran off and grabbed a stick.

Pinkie then asked, "Can you sing anymore tunes? I think that one you just sang sounded like one part."

The monkey shook it's head, and Pinkie assumed it couldn't remember the rest.

"It's alright! Were friends now though!" said Pinkie Pie.


Fluttershy was trotting from her cottage to Twilight's house with some haste. In her saddle-pack was the ocarina that she found earlier. She currently had the intention of asking Twilight about it.

It was then, Fluttershy felt like something just zapped into her head. Then, out of some unknown will, she pulled out the ocarina.

"Huh?" asked Fluttershy as the third hole was now glowing oddly.

Fluttershy looked around, she wasn't in town just yet, so she decided to blow into it and see what happens.

The Ocarina played the tune: "Take a melody, simple as can be. Give it some words, and..."

The music then cut off, and five single tone sounds came out.
