Almost all ponies found Princess Comet's way of eating cute. She showed her age and was a cute mess. Only General Pete didn't find it cute- not that he was cold hearted or anything-he just believed that it didn't matter what age you are you should have at least some proper manners.

"Excuse me Princess." General Pete calmly presented himself. "I am General Pete and... to be honest I don't find the way you are presenting yourself cute."

"Oh... oh ya I'm a mess! Thank you for pointing that out. Do you have a wash cloth?" Princess Comet asked while wiping food off her face. General Pete handed her a wash cloth and she cleaned her self. "Thank you."

"Your welcome." General Pete bowed and then walked a way. After eating Princess Comet saw a rain-boom. "What is that?" She looked at the fading circle of colors and she smiled.

*Ah!* a pony gasped. A pink puffy hair pony saw Princess Comet and ran.

"Uh?" she was followed by a few others who chanted: "Pinky! Pinky!"

Only one pony didn't follower her: A white filly with beautiful eyes.

"Hi! I'm Sweetir Bell!" She greeted. "You must be princess Comet!"

"I am..." Princess Comet never saw a pony with clean white fur before. The only time she saw a white pony was her care taker: Mikie and her fur was always a mess. "You're fur's super clean."

"well...yes... yes it is." Sweetie Bell had pride in keeping herself clean. Good hygiene is important. "So... Did you see the rain-boom?"

"You meant that sonic boom with the rainbow circle thingy at the end?"

"Yes."

"I did! It was soo cool!"

"I know! Rainbow Dash did it!"

"Dash of the rainbows?" Princess Comet remembered an old comic book who had that name. She didn't know why that memory came up though.

"No! Rainbow Dash. She's the fastest pegasis in ponyville!"

"Sweet! um..." Princess Comet saw Princess Luna wave her over. "I've gots to go! See you later Marshmallow!" Princess Comet hopped away.

"Yes mommy?" Comet hopped around Luna.

"I want you to meet my coclfriend. General Peter." Luna waved General Peter over.

"Oh my..." General Peter giggled. "When she told me that she had a foal I was quite shocked... still am..."

"Will he be my new daddy?" Comet wondered aloud. There was pain in Comet's eyes when she had said the word: 'daddy'. General Peter noted the pain he saw and wanted to change it.

"Not yet... but even so-I'll try my best to make you happy." He smiled once he saw Comet smile. "Come.. I need to show you something!"

General Peter led Comet to Pinky's house. "Go inside."

Once inside ponies of all ages, sizes, and types screamed 'Hi!' and 'Welcome!'. Comet was greeted with gifts and hugs.

"How did you know it was my birthday?!" Comet asked. Everypony got quiet.

"It's your birthday?" A colt with jet raven fur asked while breaking the odd silence. "Well... Happy birthday! I'm Bolt!" He handed Comet a set of goggles and some money.

"Happy b-day!" More ponies greeted her by the minute.
