The Adventures of Baby North Star and Baby Brother Bright Bouquet
Chapter 8 The
Anniversary Party
One evening, after Baby North Star and her sister, Sparkle Baby Firefly, had gone to bed, Steamer said to North Star, "You know, this weekend is Baby North Star and Baby Brother Bright Bouquet's 1 year anniversary together as boyfriend and girlfriend." "That's right," said North Star, "we ought to do something special for them." "I agree, I was thinking of doing a special trip and having a party on board for them. Maybe the Princess Ponies will come as well and perform some of their magic," said Steamer. "That's a wonderful idea!" exclaimed North Star, being careful not to wake her daughters. Steamer smiled, happy his wife liked his idea. "You know, I wonder if the Bright Bouquets would like to do anything special with them," he said. "They might want to," said North Star.
"Now it's my turn to have an idea," said North Star and she whispered to Steamer something about having a heart shaped cake with a their names on top, with "Congratulations" written on top. "Now I know why I married you," said Steamer after North Star was finished. "Why's that," she queried. "Because we both come up with such wonderful ideas," said Steamer, smiling. "I'm glad you like it," said North Star. "We should arrange to meet with the Bright Bouquets and discuss it with them too," she continued. "Yes, I agree," said Steamer and that's just what they did.
Steamer arranged to meet with the Bright Bouquets the next day when Baby Brother Bright Bouquet was over playing with Baby North Star. The Bright Bouquets loved both Steamer and North Star's ideas, and set to work immediately on North Star's. "I think we can pair North Star's idea with our's which was to take the two out with some of their friends for dinner," said Daddy Bright Bouquet. "And then come back here for dessert, wonderful," said Steamer. Daddy Bright Bouquet nodded. Mommy Bright Bouquet then came into the room, "Everything's all set," she said. "Great!" exclaimed Steamer and with that went home to tell North Star.
"Oh, this is going to be a weekend they'll remember for a long time!" exclaimed North Star when Steamer told her what the Bright Bouquets had planned. "Yes, it will be," agreed Steamer. "We have to keep it from them though," he continued. "Yes," agreed North Star," it would spoil the surprise if they found out." "Exactly, so I recommend when we buy the things, we keep them at a third party's house, until Saturday, that way they won't find them," suggested Steamer. "Good idea," said North Star, "and I recommend it be someone that doesn't have any kids, just in case." "Not a bad idea," said Steamer, "but who? Most of the ponies we know have kids, and the kids are friends of either Baby North Star and/or Baby Brother Bright Bouquet." "That's true," said North Star, "What about Twist's place down the road?" "Yeah!" exclaimed Steamer, "I hadn't thought about her." "OH!" exclaimed North Star, smiling "I just got another idea. We could invite the Sundae Best Ponies as well and see if they'll make their special ice creams." "North Star, you're a genius!" exclaimed Steamer, hugging his wife, who blushed at the compliment. "How about you call them and see if they can make it and I'll go down and talk to Twist?" he proposed. "Great," said North Star, "I'll get right on it." With that they both went to do what needed to be done. Later, when Steamer got home he found a smiling North Star, "I take it the Sundae Best Ponies are coming?" he said. "Yes, and I take it Twist said it was ok to use her house to store the food, etc." answered North Star seeing a smiling Steamer. "Yes, she did," he responded. "Great!" exclaimed North Star, "Now all we need to do is buy food, party supplies and keep this from the two baby ponies." "They're going to love it," said Steamer. North Star nodded, "They sure are."
That Saturday when Baby North Star came down to breakfast, she found only her mother there. "Morning mama, where's daddy?" she asked. "Morning sweetie, he's at the depot," said North Star, giving her daughter an extra special hug. "He's not going on a trip is he? Not on Baby Brother Bright Bouquet's and my anniversary," said Baby North Star, looking disappointed. North Star nodded, "And you two are going with him, he's got an extra special surprise waiting for you" said North Star mischievously. "OH! I wonder what it is!" exclaimed Baby North Star looking a bit happier this time.
Meanwhile, at the Bright Bouquets, Baby Brother Bright Bouquet had also just found out about the train trip and he was excited too. He couldn't wait to see his girlfriend, and give her the present he had. He didn't have long to wait, for soon he was at the depot, and had just sighted his girlfriend coming. After going up to hug her, he gave her the present, which was a gold bracelet surrounded in hearts. Baby North Star smiled and hugged her boyfriend again; "Thank you so much," she said. "I'm glad you like it," said Baby Brother Bright Bouquet. Baby North Star then handed her boyfriend her present, which was a tape that she made, with all their favorite love songs on it. "I love it!" exclaimed Baby Brother Bright Bouquet, smiling. Baby North Star then smiled, "I'm glad," she said. They then got on the train, and are shown to an extra special suite by Steamer, who acts like an English butler, making Baby North Star giggle. When they got into the suite, they found an invitation, with a picture of the two of them in a heart on the outside. It was an invitation to a special party for them, to be held the next afternoon. "Wow!" exclaimed Baby North Star, "a party for us!" "Yeah!" exclaimed her boyfriend. The invitation went on to say the special surprise would be at the party.
They could hardly wait till the next evening and the party. They tried their best to keep as busy as possible, doing everything together, so the time would go by quickly. The next evening they went down to the party, and what they saw really amazed them, first off, all of their friends were there to share in the joyous occasion, also, all 6 of the Sundae Best Ponies were there, and each had made some of their special ice creams. But, that wasn't the only surprise, as the two baby ponies were about to find out. The Princess Ponies were also there, and they each performed some magic for them. Baby North Star and Baby Brother Bright Bouquet were just in awe at the sight of everything. They each fancied some of the ice cream, Baby North Star really loved Coco Berry's chocolate strawberry ice cream, and Baby Brother Bright Bouquet couldn't make up his mind between Banana Surprise's Surprise Banana Split and Crunch Berry's Crunch Cream Delight. He finally decided that he liked both the same. When the party was over, Baby North Star found her father and gave him a big hug. "Thank you daddy!" she exclaimed. "You're welcome sweetie, I hope you saved some room in that tummy of yours, the Bright Bouquet's are taking you two out tonight." "They are?" said Baby North Star and Baby Brother Bright Bouquet in unison. "Yup, and then you two have one more surprise, from your mom Baby North Star" answered Steamer mischievously. "Wow! The day just gets better and better" exclaimed Baby North Star. .
That evening the Bright Bouquet's said that since it was a special occasion the two baby ponies could pick the place they would eat. The two chose a nice place that they rarely got to eat at, and that is where they went. After dinner they went back to the Bright Bouquet's and found North Star, Steamer and a heart shaped cake with Baby Brother Bright Bouquet and Baby North Star's name inside. "Wow!" exclaimed the two baby ponies in unison. North Star then received a big hug from her daughter, "thank you mommy, thank you for a most wonderful day," she said. "You're welcome sweetie," said North Star, stroking the top of Baby North Star's head. Baby North Star then went over and hugged and thanked her father again, and then they all had a piece of cake. Later on, Baby North Star and Baby Brother Bright Bouquet went to bed very happy, and the adults had a feeling this day would live on in the baby ponies' memories for a long time to come.
