"Welcome, welcome!" Pinkie Pie happily greeted all the ponies that were coming into Sugarcube Corner.

Apparently 'Pinkie Pie Style' means throwing a party.

While ponies were coming in, I pulled Pinkie aside.

"Pinkie, this is how we're getting her back? A party?" I asked, bewildered.

"Yeah! Maybe this party will improve her attitude, to not be a grumpy grump!" She answered quickly, while waving to more ponies.

"A grumpy grump…? Ah, anyway, that's a great idea. It's better to be nice and be a good example than just say things before you even think about it." I replied, regretting yelling at Gilda…even if she didn't notice me. Though, I still feel bad for Fluttershy. She didn't deserve to be yelled at.

Pinkie nodded and went straight back to the door.

I walked over to Twilight and Fluttershy, talking about the party.

They both waved, and then Twilight asked, "So, Fluttershy, what do you think about Gilda?"

"Oh… I… um, I'll tell you later, Twilight." Fluttershy replied slowly, and quietly while putting her head down a bit.

"What do you think, Kate?" Twilight turned over to me.

"I think that she's a bit-" I was replying when Gilda walked in the door, and immediately shut my mouth.

"Gilda! I'm so honored to throw you one of my signature Pinkie Pie parties! And I really truly sincerely hope you feel welcome here amongst all pony folk!" Pinkie greeted loudly, as Gilda stood in front of her, unsure about the party. Pinkie stuck out her hoof for a hoof-shake, while giving a huge grin.

Gilda slowly shook back, but immediately got a shock, from a hoof buzzer. Of course, Pinkie started laughing uncontrollably, and then I heard Rainbow Dash start laughing. I looked over and Rainbow Dash didn't see any harm in it.

I could definitely see now why Pinkie called her revenge, 'Pinkie Pie Style'.

She walked over to Pinkie and Gilda, still laughing, "Oh, Pinkie Pie, the old hoof-shake buzzer! You are a scream!"

"Yeah…heheh, good one, Pinkie Pie." Gilda replied, annoyed, trying to keep from losing her cool in front of Rainbow.

"Come on, G! I'll introduce you to some of my other friends." Rainbow said, while walking towards me and the rest of the gang, minus Pinkie.

"Right behind ya, Dash!" Gilda called out, and then whispered something to Pinkie Pie, though I couldn't quite make out what she had said. Pinkie replied, happily after a few seconds of small talk, and then introduced Gilda to everypony. Everypony cheered and she gave an awkward smile.

Then Gilda started coming our way.

"So, G, these are some of my friends!" Rainbow said, while gesturing towards us.

"Introduce yourselves, guys!" Rainbow urged, while there was a silence from us.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you, Gilda!" Twilight greeted, sticking out a hoof.

Gilda cautiously shook it, just in case there was a buzzer on her hoof, which there wasn't.

Next was me.

"Hi! I'm Kate. I've heard so much about you, Gilda!" I said, trying to be as nice as possible, and reached out my hoof towards her talon.

She shook it with caution, while putting on her best 'smile'.

The rest introduced themselves, then Gilda and Rainbow walked over to enjoy the party.

"Well, that was awkward…" I said, trying to cut the awkward silence that we all had, except for everypony else.

"Quite." Rarity answered, while using her hoof to get rid of a stray hair on her coat.

"Eeyup." Applejack replied, lastly as we then went to enjoy the rest of the party.

I was walking around, making small talk with some other ponies, when I heard Pinkie say kindly, "Help yourself to anything you like, Gilda!" She gestured to all the food and drinks, and presents.

Gilda looked around, and went straight ahead to some candy.

"Vanilla lemon drops, don't mind if I do." She said to no one in particular, and popped one into her mouth, then gave the most awkward look, as if she ate a lemon just by itself, then opened her mouth with flames flew straight out of.

Don't ask me how, because I have no idea, but Pinkie pulled out a marshmallow on a stick and roasted a marshmallow while this was happening to Gilda. Someone must have put pepper or hot sauce into the vanilla lemon drops, gross.

"HOT!" Gilda screamed out, running around everywhere.

"G, the punch!" Rainbow called out to her, while laughing.

Gilda of course raced to the punch bowl, and grabbed a cup, pouring it towards her mouth. Although instead of going into her mouth, the punch had leaked out of a hole in the bottom of the cup. Which still left her with a burning mouth.

"Well! What do ya know? Pepper in the vanilla lemon drops, and the punch served in a dribble glass!" Pinkie yelled out, amused.

"Priceless, priceless!" Rainbow laughed, almost about to fall over.

Eventually Gilda got water, and dumped it into her mouth, cooling it down.

"Yeah, hilarious…" Gilda said, obviously annoyed.

"Hey, G! Look, presents!" Rainbow pointed towards a stack of colorful presents on a table.

Gilda ran excitedly for them, as if it were Christmas, with a huge grin on her face. She grabbed the one her talons could reach first, which was a cylinder wrapped in pink and purple paper, topped with a pink bow.

She pulled open the gift quickly, only to have spitting snakes flail at her, full speed, making her look all puffed up.

"Ha ha, I bet I know who that was." Gilda said, losing her temper, and glancing over at Pinkie.

"You do?" Pinkie asked, smiling.

Sorry to cut it short! I will add Kate more in the next chapter, and it will be up soon!
