Chapter Eleven: The Party, Part One
All right, everypony, this one is regrettably a short chap. The next chapter, which is longer, will be the last, unless I decide to write an epilogue. I have not pre-written one and can't guarantee I ever will, but if enough of you ask, then I might be willing to. Might.
Finally, the day of the party had arrived. Pinkie was incredibly nervicited, both for the party and for the fact that she was hoping Cheese hadn't left yet. She had woken up to a wonderful breakfast served by the Cakes, and right when she left her home she was greeted by her friends. Twilight was in the process of magically tying a bandanna over Pinkie's eyes. "Now, you're not allowed to take it off until I tell you," she was telling the pink pony. "I'm going to teleport you to your destination. I'll hopefully be there shortly after but you might need to wait around for a few minutes."
Pinkie groaned. "Aww..." Then, remembering what had happened with the clones about a year ago, she forced a smile. "But I'll do it or my friends."
"That's our Pinkie," replied Twilight as if she had known it all along, which she had. "All right. Now, it's essential that you hold still while I do this spell."
"Why? Is it because if I don't, then a part of me like a leg or my tail will be left back here and you'll have to magically grow another one so we can continue on our quest to defeat the Dark Lord?!" Twilight stared as Pinkie grinned behind the blindfold. "Well? Did I get it right?"
"Uhhh...no. It's just that if I don't concentrate I might send you somewhere else...this spell doesn't have those consequences!" Twilight gasped finally.
"Oh," replied Pinkie. "But that'd make for a good book, huh?"
Twilight ignored the comment and readied the spell. "Stand still." Pinkie did so. Readying herself, Twilight concentrated her spell. The magenta magic appeared around her horn. It engulfed Pinkie for just a moment before the party pony vanished. "I hope that worked. I haven't sent anypony that far before."
Pinkie didn't feel like she had moved. One never did when they teleported, as the scenery was the only thing that changed. Nopony was saying anything. "Uhh...Twilight? You there?"
"Nope!" exclaimed a familiar voice. "Two more tries."
Pinkie's eyes widened behind the blindfold. "Cheese!"
"Right on the money," he replied cheerfully.
"You're not mad anymore? Because I really didn't mean—"
Cheese cut her off. "No worries, Pinkie. I really do want to talk to you, but I cannot right now for two reasons. One, it's going to come with a super special surprise, and two, I think Princess Twilight is signaling for you to remove your blindfold."
Pinkie cried out in excitement. "Oh!" She began to fumble with her blindfold, but she felt two other hooves helping her out. Blushing slightly she exclaimed, "Ah—thanks!" The blindfold came off and Pinkie eagerly opened her eyes...only to find that she was faced with sheer darkness, save for a window that Cheese stood near. "What gives?"
Cheese chuckled. "Well...this is the first part of your party. We went all out to give you the best day ever. And this..." He leaned forward and placed his hooves on her shoulders.
"Uhhh...what are you doing...?" Pinkie squeaked. Cheese smirked.
"...is a slide." He pushed.
Twilight stood near, but not too near, the base of the slide. It faced the entire party, which was all ready for Pinkie. The rest of the partygoers were standing around, ready to welcome Pinkie into her grand party. It truly was spectacular; everypony had done a great job. Twilight cleared her throat and called, "Hey, everypony? Okay, before Pinkie arrives, I just want to thank each and every one of you for making this possible. I don't know how we could have—" The speech, however, was interrupted by the sound of Pinkie's excited squeal as she slid down and finally arrived.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" everypony exclaimed, forgetting Twilight. The purple pony chuckled and followed the crowd to greet Pinkie, who was staring at the party with wide eyes.
"...Whoa," breathed Pinkie as she observed the huge party around them. "This is...this is..."
"Epic?" asked Cheese as he slid down and landed neatly next to her.
"Yeah! It's sooo awesome! And so me! Lots of balloons and streamers and—IS THAT A CAKE?!" And, lo and behold, the cutie mark cake stood in all its glory. It was huge and upright, and slathered in frosting in the colors of the perspective balloons that composed Pinkie's cutie mark. A small area, a base, was not covered in frosting and instead was a natural chocolate cake.
"Yep!" replied Rainbow Dash. "The Cakes made it and Cheese 'carved' it. Fluttershy did the frosting and I did the most important cake job of all!"
Pinkie grinned. Twilight rolled her eyes and muttered, "All she did was eat the cake that had been shaved off."
Pinkie was about to comment, but suddenly felt something that seemed like rain splash onto her. "Ack! When did it start raining?" she cried. After a few seconds she opened her eyes and realized the rain was brown...and then, she cried out in glee. "Is this...?"
"Chocolate rain?" asked Discord's voice. The actual draconoquues appeared the next second, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt that read, "The Party Starts with Pinkie." It even had a little caricature of Pinkie underneath the words. "I suppose since it's your birthday...I'll lend my powers to this...mediocre party," sighed Discord.
Cheese frowned. "Mediocre? I planned this, if you remember..."
"Hmm? Oh, well, it's cute, but it simply cannot compare to the parties I've thrown in my many years," cackled the draconoquues. He looked to the sky and threw fist into the air evilly, as lightning randomly flashed behind him. "So full of chaos and evil, along with my fellow masters of Disharmony! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Discord paused, mouth open, as he looked across the group of ponies. Some, like Applejack, was gawking in horror, others were cowering, but Twilight and surprisingly yet not surprisingly, Fluttershy, were glaring sternly. Lowering his arms he grinned sheepishly. "I, ah...that was, of course, before I was reformed...did I mention the chocolate milk?" There was a pregnant pause.
Pinkie, as usual, was the one to break the silence with an odd comment. "You never gave me any whipped cream last time..."
"Easily fixed," replied Discord, snapping his fingers. A blue cotton candy cloud, the same one he had shown Twilight and company before, appeared next to the pink one and started raining whipped cream. Exclaiming in joy, the pink pony jumped from under one cloud to another, tasting both sweets as she did so.
"Sooo good! You gotta make lots of these for everypony!" begged Pinkie. Discord rolled his eyes.
"Duh." With a click of his fingers there were suddenly cotton candy clouds everywhere. "And don't worry, my little ponies, they'll be gone when the party ends." This satisfied everypony. "Okay?" asked the draconoquues, looking around, "Is everypony good? No more boring requests of a poor, old, tired spirit of Chaos? Can I go home now?" Upon seeing no dissenting ponies, he flew off, pretending to look disgruntled (when in reality he didn't mind helping his friends out).
Twilight huffed. "Glad that's over." She turned to the other ponies with a wide grin. "Well...nothing else to do now but..."
"PARTY!" exclaimed Pinkie in glee, running toward the first activity. And so the party began.
