Hello! Please excuse the party streamers or what is left of them!

My name is Pinkie Pie and every pony in town is my friend! Well... I thought every pony was. A lot of ponies said I am too random, I take that as a complement. I am sweet, adorable, bubbly, friendly and always there for every pony.

That was told to me so many times when I stayed here in Ponyville ever since I moved out of the old rock farm my parents owned. Everyday when I walk outside I greet the day by saying hello to every pony I see. I see their smile, they see mine. I see a frown, I go out of my way to turn it upside down. In the end, they always smile. Mission Accomplished I would tell myself. Ponyville is a town of smiles anyway.

I like to throw parties, small parties, big parties. You name it. I throw parties for birthdays. Holidays, celebrations, weddings, anniversaries, welcome to Ponyville parties, welcome home parties. Goodbye and good luck parties, moving away parties. How many hooves am I am holding up by counting those? Whoops.

Now, some of you are just thinking. "Pinkie Pie you just throw a party for any ridiculous reason"!

Do I now? A lot of times it seems like that but what do you do when you got so many friends? What do you do when you want to bring them all together? I must have like ten or twenty groups of friends and counting. I want them all to socialize together and be friends. But a party for only my friends such as Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and... Who am I forgetting? Ah yes Spike... I'm sorry that's not fair of leaving Twilight out. As you see, Twilight did something to me that she's sorry for but I would not listen that caused all of this. I just wanted her to have fun and life doesn't have to be all about wasting your time cooked up in a house when there's a whole big world out there ready to take.

I'm sure Twilight feels sorry but for that tiny few seconds she was some pony else. She struck me and hit me in my eye. It's still sore. Every time I look at it in the mirror it hurts even more, not just physically also emotionally. I have a black eye. Some ponies say I deserved this for being so cheery and invading space. Well, you might be right or you might be wrong.

It all started around a few weeks ago where Rarity invited me to a brunch date with her. Rarity if you didn't know is a slave for fashion, always wanted to look good and turn heads. My neck still hurts for trying to do that. But Rarity also invited an important client of hers along with another friend. Her client; Crystal Clear, a white unicorn herself with fire-red stylish hair. If I didn't know better, I could swear these two were probably long-lost sisters for their taste in fashion and sharing almost the same opinion on everything. Or is that Rarity just kissing up because Crystal Clear is one of her biggest clients since she started her business? Crystal's friend named; Aquamarie. She is a light bluish-green colored unicorn that seems more of a tag along. But looked bored most of the time and occupied herself with a digital book thingy. A tablet, I think she called it. Was that a frown I just saw there? I can fix that! But not before Aquamarie dropping her tablet thingy. Oops. Sorry. Me smile.

Cutting back to the story here. The four of us had a great time we talked, we ate, we told each other our occupations and stories that went along with them. Rarity ofcourse talked about her clothes, Crystal pretty much the same except that she's was a model on a couple occassions for Hoity Toity's spring fashion line but suffered a major wardrobe malfunction that made her quit. Don't know how you can get one of those? Is it contagious?

I turned my attention to Aquamarie who was trying to get her tablet to work again. I was really sorry that I tried to surprise her with my puppet show with using biscuits. Good thing, Aquamarie can easily forgive and would say that even the slightest thing would cause the thing-a-ma-bobber to act funny. I spent the rest of the brunch talking with Aquamarie who I could swear is like if Twilight Sparkle were to trade in books for little gadgets like that do-hicky she played with. She even said she could fit an entire library on there. Now that was awesome! It's like putting your hobby into a tiny machine! And yes, technology is pretty scarce around Ponyville but where Crystal and Aqua are from its common.

Aqua finally got her tablet thingy working again and showed me how to work it. It was so awesome! We ended up watching movies on it. Read a few news articles. Watched her favorite videos of fish and other sea life. Looked at funny little kittens hiding in a shoe. Even a puppy peaking his head out of a top hat! Where's Fluttershy?! She needs to see this! She would die if she saw this!

Rarity lead the conversation into a question between the four of us. What do we plan on doing in ten years. Rarity said that she wanted to keep making dresses but then she would be more noticed. Aquamarie said she wanted to open up her own aquarium because she loved sea animals big and small. Crystal Clear said she would like to manage a business and set it up in a small town like ours, she was just looking for ideas. Then it came down to me. I often wondered this. How long I could stay with Mr. and Mrs. Cake and their twins? But what I actually had an interest in doing lately is breaking off and do a party planning business. Or opening up my own club. What really almost lit off like a firecracker. Is that Crystal Clear and Aquamarie really seemed on board with the idea.

This was too good to be true! Me making a business? A party planning business? TOO AWESOME! I wanted to bounce right there! Okay I did and ended up breaking the table with getting jelly all over everything but it was all in good. So pretty much, I would meet with various ponies that was be on board for the idea of opening a business in Ponyville. Only problem, Ponyville was a nice little quiet town. What I had in mind was opening a club that would blare music and have lights beaming up into the sky. So after a bit of talking Crystal and I decided we were going to be partners in a business. We'll call the placed. "Planet Cupcakes"!

I went around telling my friends about my new partnership. This means I will be making my own money! All the things I could buy raced through my head. I could even get my own house! Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity congratulated me and Crystal. But for some reason. Twilight Sparkle was hitting the books again. Last time I saw her she was carrying a giant stack of them into her library. Crystal seemed really absorbed into making this project work. Planet Cupcakes was on its way! I found an old run down building we could use, Crystal approved and hired a building staff after I showed her some plans I drew up.

Gee. After telling you all this, it seemed like Crystal and I really got close. She liked all my ideas but I knew she was one of those hipster girls that like crazy artsy stuff, meaning she must like anything colorful. I tried to throw in something for every pony but ended getting scraped due to space. Sorry Fluttershy, no petting zoo I am afraid.

I walked straight up to Mr. and Mrs. Cake and told them I was going into the party planning and club business with a partner. Mr. Cake really approved of the idea saying it would be a good learning experience, Mrs. Cake felt like she was losing a child. Somehow I felt that too but I was welcomed to stay in the room until I get enough money to move out. As the week went on the more and more I noticed Twilight had herself buried in her library. I would knock on her door and try to invite her to my place for pie. And as usual she would say she's busy reading something so she can make notes. Or something I forget. I left and went back to the Sugar Cube corner and found my party planner.

I was so busy taking requests for party dates as of lately besides helping Crystal build the business. I ran into more ponies along the way that told me about a party date they had planned and wrote it down. Usually I would write them all down in pride but at the end of the day. I messed up. I really messed up. Mostly every pony wants a party on the same day which would be a Friday. Talk about a cow-inky dink. So I proposed to all my clients that we throw all our eggs in one basket and just have the one giant bash. After some convincing I got them all to agree. See? I never fail to please a pony client.

About ten small parties converted into one big party. Sound awesome? Pretty much the other parties were for birthdays, welcome to Ponyville party, foam parties, another was for a charity auction, then one for my business finally taking off. And for another special reason. To celebrate the anniversary of when we all became friends. When Twilight and us defeated Nightmare Moon that marked the day when we all truly became friends. I was holding this special cause for the biggest reason. Though, I was not proud of this other reason. My parents coming to Ponyville to visit me but I worked in a welcoming party for them.

Almost every one of my friends had a job to do with helping my new business. Aquamarie and Fluttershy were gathering the animals for the petting zoo. Rainbow Dash was rescheduling Friday to be a clear day. Apple Jack, Big Mac and some other ponies were building the stage along with setting up chairs, tables, booths. Rarity was designing party dresses for the party and uniforms for my business. Though there was one pony missing. Missing out on all the fun. I just saw Twilight carry in more books into her library than slamming the door. I swear she's going to get buried under her own books if she's not careful.

Every pony had a job to do and was helping. Crystal managed to get her friends from out-of-town to even help. The job I managed to snag away from Crystal is the buying catalog that managers usually order from. I scanned through it, so many things I wanted for this bash. A chocolate fountain? Ohhhhhh... A giant ice sculpture of a pony! Yes yes this is all so cool! Usually I would have to make do with what I got or rent out a few things myself but with Crystal's help I know this business can get off on the right foot. What I noticed in the past couple of days is that Twilight kept going in and out of the library, calm one minute then freaking out the next. Poor Spike is trailing behind her at times. So, I convinced Crystal to let me do the cataloging. She gave me the catalog along with a list of papers with every clients budget but since we all agreed to mash all the parties together. We added them up together and got a really big amount.

I raced on over to Twilight's house. Knocked on the door. She answered it in her usual way. Friendly as always. Just how I like it. But she seemed ancy. She explained that she had a few books to read but was willing to talk. I asked if she could help me with my catalogging and budget. And as usual, she looked back at all of her books.

"Pretty please with sugar on top"? I put on the puppy dog look, "You're really good with math." Not like I wasn't good at it, just a lot of numbers to crunch and Crystal is already going through other arrangements. So after asking her probably three times she finally agreed. I have my ways. I have my ways. So after visiting the clients and showing them what we had to offer in the week span, they seemed really impressed with the selection. They placed simple orders, but after I got done pointing out what might work better. They circled what they wanted. I gave Twilight the numbers and she started working her magic. Though, Twilight seemed pretty ancy, almost looking at the list then back to me with an irritated look. I told her do not worry, everything will be fine, but Twilight seemed really irritated after I told her that.

"Twilight is there something wrong"? I asked.

"Pinky with all the stuff you're ordering and trying to change the clients minds to splurge a little more. You're over the budget that is marked on the top whoever wrote it down. About like five thousand six hundred and seventy-three bits". Twilight pointed out.

I looked over Twilight's work and scratched my head. That's odd, what was she marking down? I think I forgot to tell her that there was a difference in rental price and the real buying price. Before I could tell her she said goodbye and left to go back to her house. Well, I do admit that I made a big deal about how awesome the party was along the way between going from house to house to meet our clients. But come on, I'm serious this is going to be the biggest one yet if it goes out without a hitch.

I took the order forms back to Crystal who was already finishing up other paper work. What can I describe my relationship with Crystal Clear now? At first we were complete strangers but now we seem to be very close. She's very supportive and really believes that work can be fun. Though I wonder at times why would she jump on my idea for a party making business along with a club in the first place? Rarity says that she needed the experience as she just got her business degree along with being promoted to manager at a couple of jobs but left because she didn't have any freedom to make any changes. Well that's thoughtful of her, she wanted to make work more fun for her employees. So when she looked at the order forms, she scratched her head as well.

"Pinkie honey? Did you remember to mark down what is a rent and what is an actual buy"?Crystal took out a pencil and started trying to make the corrections in front of me. "Because if you did you put them all down for buying and then the customer would own it instead of renting it. Rent is using it for a certain amount of time and then returning it. Renting is only a quarter of the buying price".

I just nodded my head as she continued to explain but she did it in a nice way. I did remember asking the customers if they would like to rent instead of buy because if a customer wanted to buy a chocolate fountain for the party, after the party it's theirs. So Twilight did make the mistake but then again it was my fault for not explaining it to her earlier. But Twilight seemed to be murmuring something as she wrote the numbers down I noticed. So I decided to take the heat, which Crystal didn't even do. Why try to insult your friend's ability to another friend?

So after everything was fixed, I still had bits to spend which was awesome because we decided to order more stuff. Crystal sent out the order form. A day or two later all the stuff started coming in. First the bouncy house. Oh oh oh this thing looked awesome. I barely could contain myself and opened the box.

AHH! The bouncy house melted!

Oh wait. No it just needs air. I searched the delivery truck and found the air machine. I had help from Apple Jack hooking it up and wallah! The bouncy house was standing tall and perfect. Rainbow Dash and I ran inside and started bouncing. It was so fun! More stuff came off the truck along with Planet Cupcakes making some progress. Sadly, it won't be finished until a couple of months, so we're going to have the party outside. Good thing Mayor Mare gave me the permit to use town square.

About later that day Twilight came by. I greeted her with a smile as usual. But why she came wasn't for good intentions. She claims that I wasn't paying attention to the budget and kept ordering more stuff. I could tell her what Crystal found out, but Twilight wasn't a pony that can take criticism too well when you first tell them. But instead I just bounced and bounced happily around the room. Twilight I didn't know was growing frustrated at first. She kept going on and on about the budget but again I told her not to worry about it. I couldn't tell her that she messed up, she would be devastated.

"That's it Pinkie. I'm not coming to your party if you won't listen"! Twilight shouted at me.

I froze in place. It hit me like a ton of bricks as I tried to put on my puppy dog-eye look. It didn't work, "Twilight of course I listen"!

"Pinkie I usually just sit back and let you do what you want no questions asked. But seeing those numbers you're going to be in a lot of trouble if you can't pay it off"! She shouted again at me. What was preventing me from telling her she made a mistake? I don't know but she was scaring me.

"Twilight I told you again and again I got this covered". I tried to reason with her. "Besides, you can't keep your nose in those books all day anyway".

"COVERED HOW"? She yelled.

"There was... there was." I tried to make up an excuse, "There was more money added because the customers wanted more". Oh that was terrible, that was the lamest lie I could ever tell. Well okay that was not really a lie. "Besides running a busin..."

"PINKIE FORGET IT"! She threw down a clipboard, "Have fun at your party"! She slammed the door behind her. I don't know why but, I just couldn't tell her. This was all a big misunderstanding. Does she really think I'm irresponsible? That really hurt. But usually don't we all say things we don't mean in the end? Oh well, she doesn't mean it I know. She'll end up going to the party and having fun. She'll walk up to me as usual, "GEE PINKIE PIE I SURE WAS WRONG! YOUR MY BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WORLD"! Or something like that.

Crystal came into the room and wondered what all the yelling was about. I just told her that it was just me and a friend having an argument over something silly. She just smiled and offered me some hot coco. I graciously accepted. We clanged our cups together in toast to partnership. The feeling was getting me all giddy. The next day was the big bash. Everything was set up, the crew was hired, the caterer brought his workers to put out the food. DJ Pony looked over her DJ station to make sure everything was set up right.

The bouncy house was ready. Multiple birthday cakes were placed at different tables for the corresponding guests. Dinky Doo's birthday party in the back yard. BonBon's party in the front yard. Charity auction in front of town hall. Rave mix in front of Rarity's place. My parents welcoming party inside of town hall. Wow by the looks of it, it seemed more cluttered than organized. But especially by the end of the night, it's going to be our third year anniversary. Plus we were going to exchange gifts. I gave every pony a memo. I wondered if Twilight got it? She's been in that library since... forever.

The parties went off without a hitch. Every pony was satisfied and barely noticed that some parties started to merge with another. It seemed bad at first once you think about it but clearly you're welcomed to walk around. I spent most of the party going back and forth from one party back inside town hall to check on my parents party. It was so great seeing them here and actually having a good time instead of looking all gloomy back in the day. My sisters Inky and Blinky sure were having an interesting time. I nearly went all gushy when they started talking to the local boy ponies.

I was at so many parties catering and checking on every pony seeing if they needed anything. A few things here and there no problem. But I kept noticing the time. I saved the best party for last as I knew Twilight was busy during the evening so that's why I planned it at the end of all the other parties. The anniversary cake was still at the Sugar Cube corner where I planned the party to be. I sent Apple Jack to check on Twilight earlier to see how she was doing. Even asked her to coax her out to get into the partying mood.

Apple Jack came back and shook her head saying Twilight was still busy. Oh well. I wandered over to one of the other parties to find out it was a wedding shower. What a sweet scene that was seeing a blushing bride to be. Again I asked if they needed anything. All they asked for was more cola. Rarity was passing by with her sister Sweetie Belle and I asked for them to check up on Twilight. They agreed then came back same as Apple Jack. About an hour and a half later I asked Fluttershy to check up on Twilight. Twilight never turns down Fluttershy. Well, same result.

Twilight was missing out on the greatest bash of the century and she's inside that library all alone? Just then DJ pony had a technical malfunction with the booth as the volume couldn't lower unless you rip the cord out of the stereo and that would set us back about two thousand bits. Oh boy that was the only disaster I thought that was going to be that night. The music was even louder. Somehow I knew Twilight wasn't appreciating it.

It was almost around eight thirty pm. Crystal was tending to the customers and making sure everything was satisfactory. She collected the invoices and collected the payment. The night was drawing to a close, only a couple parties were still going on but I left Crystal to tend to it. I told every pony that were close friends can attend the little get together tonight. Good thing most ponies were tired out anyway and it only dwindled down to about twenty ponies including my family. Perfect.

I gathered up our possy and headed over to Twilight's. Maybe now that the parties were dying down that she'll able to come out. Spike unlocked the door for us and called for Twilight. No answer. Spike said she must be down in the basement. We tried opening the door but it was locked. I banged on the door and called out, "TWILIGHT! YOOHOO"!

Slowly the door opened. And out came Twilight. Who... looked groggy. I smiled, "Come on Twilight! The party is about to end in a couple of hours. You look like you could use some goodies to help perk you up". I bounced and I bounced. My friends were in almost the same mood as we set out gifts inside the Sugar Cube corner before coming here. Oh I just love seeing wrapped gifts!

Then reality stepped in.

"Pinkie. I told you I'm not coming to your party. I need to do work for the princess and it's due tomorrow." Twilight grunted.

Luckily I had a party blower in my mouth and blew on it, then tried to talk through my teeth, "Why didn't you work on it earlier"?

She was gritting her teeth. "Because you hired me to watch over your spending. I told you time and time again you're going over but you just kept adding to the list". Her voice grew higher. "You didn't listen, you're over an estimated five thousand bits and counting but you kept wanting more and told me time and time again don't worry".

Again she's bringing this up? Should I tell her that she made a mistake? Should I tell her about the after party? Um. Maybe not right this minute. She looked rather angry. "Twilight I got this covered".

"How?" She fumed.

Again I wondered if I should just tell her out right? No. The money we used was pretty much the customers money on seeing what they are willing to spend on. It was that simple. Again I lied, "With my savings. And I'm taking out a loan".

She hoof slapped herself, "Pinkie! The last time you filed for a loan you got rejected for various reasons".

Okay. First off Twilight, those reasons I admit were for awesome things that can't be physically done. Like making a cake in the shape of an Ursa major and actual size. Or trying to make an ice sculpture to make a replica of the royal palace. Or buying a monster truck then wanting to use ponyville for an obstacle course. Or cloning a T-rex and making it a pet... This isn't helping my case is it?

I just kept my composer, "Twilight. Seriously stop reading those books and have fun with us".

"I TOLD YOU I HAD WORK TO DO"! She shouted.

It was time to get drastic. I pushed my face up against hers, "It won't kill you".

"No. I had all week to work on it and you whined about how I was the only one to keep track of your spending. Well there you go Pinkie. Thanks to you my report is going to be late." Twilight shouted again, "So please will you leave me alone"?

Oh no Twilight. You were working non stop for about two weeks and just because of that you turned mean because of a stupid report. You're going to this party even if I have to drag you there. You were cooked up inside of this library for too long. Princess Celestia said herself that there didn't need to be a set schedule to any report. Somehow I think that Twilight was just avoiding us all week. I grabbed her arm, "Come on. Some cake will cheer you up."

"I said no!" Twilight pulled her arm away.

Twilight, you're not spending our anniversary alone. "Twilight stop being difficult!" I looked at her and tried to pull her arm again. "I'm sure the princess can under..."

Well... there you have it. I guess Twilight just wanted to be left alone until that stupid report was done. She punched me in the eye. My friends gasped in surprise. I fell down. It hurt so much like I couldn't even use my eyelids. It stung when I placed my hooves over it. I looked up at Twilight. That mad face of hers turned into a scared filly. I haven't been hit since I was a little filly. Last time I even cried was when I hurt myself by getting a broken arm. I looked down at my hoof and found drops of blood. Oh my Celestia. Did Twilight really punch my eye out?

I tried to see out of my bad eye and found it nearly impossible to focus. The other eye saw Twilight as she just stood there with her mouth open, I knew she was feeling guilt. My lip was trembling as I blubbered like a baby that just fell down. I barely noticed I was hiccuping until I tried to say something.

"Pinkie I... I'm..." Twilight tried to apologize but I was in pain.

I could barely see out of this eye now it's bumping like a heart beat. I picked myself and ran out of the library. Where that took me. I probably should of picked a place where I didn't want any pony to find me but I decided to run back to the Sugar cube corner. Rarity was chasing after me, calling for me but I didn't answer. I didn't want to be seen but the tears and blood kept dripping all over me. I opened the front door to find Mr. and Mrs. Cake setting everything up along with some help from my family.

Crystal and Aquamarie were there too making sure the table cloths were placed correctly. I was blubbering like a baby, screaming out from the pain as I was about to climb up the stairs. Mrs. Cake ran from the back counter to stop me and was holding my face.

"Oh my what happened to you sweaty"?! Mrs. Cake's mother instincts kicked in.

"Pinkamena Diane Pie! What happened to your eye"? My mother also came forward to inspect my face.

I couldn't even speak clearly. Mr. Cake went and got a small bag of ice and wrapped it in a small rag. My mom was trying to wipe the blood away but it just kept trickling out. Like I was crying blood. Mrs. Cake made me sit down on the lobby sofa as mom wrapped her arms around me, trying to shush her hurt baby. I admit, she could be a bit scolding at times but once you get something like this where her babies get hurt. Watch out. Mr. Cake called the ambulance as I didn't know my new friends were peering from the back room wondering what the commotion is about. I will not even mention my father, he was just fuming! Asking who could of done this to his baby girl.

It hurts... I really does... What a wonderful way to end a night meant for friends and kick off to a new future.

You know that comment ponies made saying I needed a reality check?

Well... it hurts...

Author's Note

Now this is where the story starts to start forming as it has another side to it where Pinkie told her side of the story. She has her share of faults in the situation where it could have been avoided but didn't want to offend. Then again this is Pinkie.

Originally this was supposed to be a one shot a long time ago but it got some attention and I decided to add onto it making side chapters leading up to the situation where it starts filling in the holes. Though some of these later chapters are going to have to be rewritten because it added some unneeded weight to Twilight's side of the story and some people stopped reading because of it. Twilight is stressed for a reason as it would explain in the later chapters, though why not just bring everything in the first chapter? Well i thought about it but the more I want to fill in the gaps later. I might go back and fix it up to fit later chapters.

I might add the other chapters, I might not. Something for you guys to chew on.

Oh yeah, before anyone starts bickering about technology being used in this story. Don't worry because it's not going to be used much, despite there being arcades and a hydro-electric dam in Ponyville. I'm sure that counts for something.

Oh yeah, about the grammar issues. My source just crapped out on me and it took longer to see what was needed to make a correction so I'm going to have to find another grammar checker source for better investment.
