Rainbow Dash watched as Pinkie zipped around the library, setting up things for the party. "Wow, Pinkie, you work fast..." She uttered as the pink Earth pony flashed past her.

"Well, a party doesn't set up itself!" She grinned as she set a large cake down on a table that seemed to materialise in front of her.

Rainbow shook her head. "What's the time?"

Pinkie glanced at her watch. "Quarter to seven. Ponies should start arriving pretty soon. Hey, can you put this outside?"

Rainbow barely caught the wreath of balloons that Pinkie lobbed to her. "Jeez, fine!" She cried, flying outside to avoid being loaded down with any more party jobs. At the rate Pinkie was going, Twilight was going to open up books in fifty years and wonder how the heck crêpe paper got in an ancient scroll of runes.

She spotted Rarity making her way over, all glitter and sparkles in a shiny, flowing purple dress and silver necklace. "Dressed to impress, huh, Rarity?" She teased, flying down to her friend.

Rarity jumped. "Don't frighten me like that, darling! And besides," she said, tossing her mane, "what is the point of a party if you don't get to dress up a little?"

"Somebody still a little sore over the whole cake thing?" Rainbow asked, raising an eyebrow.

Rarity gasped theatrically. "Me? No! Over a petty little thing like one of my greatest works... being ruined by a prince... whom at the time, I had an teeny-weeny crush on... Never." She stuck her chin up, determination fling in her eyes. "I will not let that brute hurt Applejack, though. Never in my life!"

"Ok, ok. Chill, Rare! No need to get your tail in a tangle. Just chill out and give him the cold shoulder. No need to embarrass everyone involved, you know." Rainbow patted her on the shoulder.

Rarity heaved a sigh. "Oh, Rainbow Dash, it's just so tiring, darling! Every time that unicorn has shown up, I've had nothing but trouble!"

Rainbow grimaced. "I know. Come on, let's go in."

The two of them walked in and ducked to narrowly miss Pinkie bouncing across the room to put up streamers. "Look out!" She squeaked as she zipped past them.

Fluttershy cautiously poked her head in the door. It was obvious she had tried to make a bit of an effort to look nice for this as well, judging by the flowers in her mane. "Um, I'm not late, am I?"

"No, Fluttershy, you're actually a little early." Twilight told her, coming out of her bedroom. The scholar pony then froze. "Oh... my god. How did I get sucked into the party being in the library again?" She wondered out loud, looking at the exuberant decorations her friend had splattered all over the room.

"Never mind that- here come some more ponies!" Pinkie cheered, pointing out the window.

Twilight charged back into her room. "I'll be out in a minute, I just need to fix my mane!" She called as she snapped the door shut.

Upon looking out the window, Rainbow noticed that there were in fact four ponies making their way towards the library- a mare, a filly and two colts. It didn't take a genius to realise that it was most likely Applejack, Apple Bloom, Big Mac and Bluebutt himself.

She shrugged to herself. 'Whats the point of giving Rarity advice if I don't follow it myself?' She thought, then smiled. This was certainly going to be an... interesting party.
