Y/n was sitting in a tree with his Generals and they all sat in silence until Icarus spoke.

Icarus: So, boss. Can I ask you something?

Maximus: (a little scared) Icarus, do not interrupt His Highness during quiet time.

Y/n: It's fine, Maximus. He would ask even if I denied it.

Icarus: Those mares we hang out with. They're our friends, right?

Y/n: That's how they present themselves.

Icarus: Well, who do you like most to least?

Y/n: I like Fluttershy as she isn't too annoying, then Twilight Sparkle for her smarts. I have Pinkie Pie at third, even though she's most annoying. Then Applejack because of her detection, yet stubbornness. And the last two spots constantly switch between Rarity and Rainbow Dash.

Icarus: Hmm. Quite the cast.

Maximus: M-May I also ask a question, my Prince?

Y/n: It would only be fair if I allowed it.

Maximus: Since you have new friends, can we have some, too?

Y/n: I wouldn't stop you if you tried.

Icarus: Oh, new friends. You got any suggestions, boss?

Y/n saw Spike walking through town with a sad expression and he had a small bindle over his shoulder.

Y/n: I might have an idea.

Y/n flew down to Spike with Icarus and Maximus.

Icarus: Why, hello. Spike is it?

Spike looked up.

Spike: Oh, hey, Y/n. And you two are the Gargoyle Generals I heard about?

Icarus: Indeed. I'm Icarus. That's my buddy Maximus.

Maximus gave a small wave before looking back down.

Y/n: Tell me, where do you plan on going with that bindle.

Spike: (sigh) Anywhere. It's only best sense I'm no longer Twilight's number 1 assistant.

Y/n raised an eyebrow.

Y/n: Why do you say that?

Spike: Well, she already has my replacement, Owlowiscious.

Y/n: Owlowiscious? Are you sure this isn't somepony you made up?

Spike: Pony? Owlowiscious is an owl.

Icarus: Oh, yeah. That makes way more sense.

Y/n: So, you're just gonna leave?

Spike: You don't understand. I've always been Twilight's number one assistant. And if I'm not that, then... You wouldn't understand.

Y/n: You're right, I wouldn't. But these two would.

Icarus and Maximus flew next to Spike.

Icarus: The two of us have been around for awhile. Y/n here wasn't the first pony we served.

Spike: He wasn't?

Icarus: No. When me and the other Gargoyles lost our previous charge, we were pretty broken up about it, but that changed when we met Y/n.

Maximus: When we got to know him, the mere thought of losing him like our last charge terrified me. But even with that, I still stand by my liege's side no matter what.

Icarus: As would I, no matter what ponies he's got helping now.

Spike: Where are you both going with this?

Maximus: We're trying to say that no matter what happens, we would always be there for Prince Y/n. Just like you should be for Twilight Sparkle.

Icarus: Yeah. Besides, I don't think you're pony could live without you anymore than ours without us.

Icarus gave Y/n a wink which made the Prince roll his eyes.

Y/n: Spike, have you talked to Twilight about this.

Spike: I doubt she would listen to what I have to say.

Y/n: Why wouldn't she?

Spike: Well, I uh, kinda sneezed and accidentally burned one of her books. And I may have not told her about it until she found out herself.

Y/n: I'm sure she's moved past it.

Spike: Really?

Y/n: Well, we'll never know unless you try.

Icarus: And if you can't patch things up with Twilight...

Maximus: Y-You could always help us with Prince Y/n.

Spike: You'd be okay if he had an assistant that wasn't you guys?

Icarus: Hey, us little helpers have gotta stick together, right?

Spike thought for a moment.

Spike: You know what? You're right. I should go back to Twilight.

Y/n: Splendid. I'll even go with you.

They made their way to the Golden Oak Library and Y/n went inside where he saw an owl sitting on a perch.

Y/n: I'm guessing that's Owlowiscious?

Spike: Yeah.

Twilight: Oh, hey, Y/n. What brings you here?

Y/n: This one here has something he would like to tell you.

Spike stepped forward.

Spike: Twilight, I'm sorry that I burnt your book and didn't tell you, and I'm sorry I tried to get Owlowiscious in trouble. I just want you to know that even if I'm no longer your number one assistant, I'll still help anyway I can.

Twilight: Spike. Sure, I was disappointed, but you are my number one assistant! And friend. And you always will be. It's just that sometimes I need some help at night. I can't ask you to stay up late. You're a baby dragon and you need your rest. Owls are nocturnal, so I asked Owlowiscious to help. But not to take your place. No one could ever replace you, Spike. Not even when you are being a jealous numbskull.

Spike: I'm sorry, Twilight. I never should have been so jealous.

Twilight: And I'm sorry too, Spike. I should have been more sensitive.

Spike gave Twilight a quick hug before turning his attention to Owlowiscious.

Spike: And Owlowiscious... I know now that you weren't out to take my job. Forgive me?

Owlowiscious: Hoo?

Spike: Me. Forgive me, Spike.

Owlowiscious: Hoo!

Y/n: Spike, that's what owl's say.

Icarus: Yeah, but I think he forgives you.

Spike: Oh.

Twilight: I know Princess Celestia will wanna read about what happened today...

Spike: I'm ready when you are.

Twilight: Hey, Spike. Why don't you write to Princess Celestia? And tell her what you've learned?

Spike: Really? Why, that's a big responsibility!

Twilight: I know. But nothing my number one assistant can't handle.

Spike began writing.

Spike: "Dear Princess Celestia...
This is Spike, writing to you about my adventures. This week I've learned that being jealous and telling lies gets you nowhere in friendship. I also learned that there's plenty of love for every friend to share. So from here on out, I promise, that I, Spike, will-

Spike fell asleep before he finished.

Twilight: Oh, Spike.

Owlowiscious: Hoo?

Twilight Sparkle: Who? Spike! You kno... Ohhhh.

Y/n: Forgot that's what his kind says, didn't you?

Icarus and Twilight began to giggle.

One week later.

Y/n was sitting in a tree with his Generals when Pinkie Pie showed up and continually hopped in place to be face to face with them

Pinkie: Hi, N/n! Hi, Icarus! Hi, Maxie!

Icarus: Oh, hey. It's Pinkie, that mare who gave us the milkshakes.

Maximus: We never got a chance to thank you. And to forever be ungrateful just terrifies me.

Pinkie: Aw, it was no problem at all.

Y/n: I'm guessing you want something.

Pinkie: Yup. I came to give you and your Gargoyles this.

She cleared her throat.

Y/n: You're inviting us to a party.

Pinkie: To celebrate Gummy's first birthday!

Gummy popped out of Pinkie's mane.

Icarus: So, this is the little gator our boss told us about. Nice to meet you, Gummy.

Icarus extended his hand which Gummy bit, but because he had no teeth it didn't do anything.

Icarus: (laughs) You really don't have any teeth! That's hilarious.

Icarus laughed some more.

Maximus: Icarus, please stop! He might not have teeth now, but what if he gets them one day and attacks you!?

Icarus: Eh, I pretty sure boss will take care of it.

Pinkie: So, what do you say?

Y/n was about to speak, Pinkie interrupted him.

Pinkie: Before you ask: Yes, there will be cupcakes and other snacks there.

Icarus: Will there be gold? We Gargoyles love gold.

Pinkie: I have golden streamers.

Icarus: I was referring to the metal, but streamers will be good, too.

Y/n: We will attend.

Pinkie hugged Y/n.

Pinkie: Great! Now, I gotta go give the rest of our friends the telegram. The party's in a few minutes. See you there, N/n!

She hopped away with Gummy on her back.

Icarus: You said she the most annoying, but she doesn't seem all bad.

Y/n: You haven't known her as long as I have.

Maximus: We're still allowed to like her even if you find her annoying, right?

Y/n: You are. After all, I do.

Icarus: Hm?

Y/n: Let's just prepare for the party.

Later at Sugarcube Corner.

The Mane Seven were at the party doing there own thing, like Applejack and Rainbow Dash were bobbing for apples. When Applejack got one, she ate it.

Rainbow Dash: Nice one! Now, let me show you how it's really done.

She was about to go in when Pinkie came up to them.

Pinkie: Hey, girls!

Rainbow Dash: Hey, Pinkie Pie!

Applejack: Howdy!

Pinkie: Just wanted to tell you how happy I am that you could make it to Gummy's party!

Applejack: Are you kiddin'? I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Rainbow Dash: Me neither. When Pinkie Pie throws a party, I am there!

Rainbow dunked her head in the water and got an apple.

Rainbow Dash: Ta-da!

Pinkie Pie: Aw, it's just a boring old apple. Don't worry, there are plenty of other surprises in there.

Rainbow Dash: (spits the apple out) What kind of surprises?

Pinkie Pie: I can't tell you that, silly. Then it wouldn't be a surprise!

When Pinkie left, Applejack and Rainbow both dunked their heads in the barrel. Applejack got an apple attached to the barrel with a spring while Rainbow got her face bitten by Gummy which made Applejack laugh and it even amused Y/n who watched from a distance. He and Maximus were enjoying cupcakes not too far from Rarity and Icarus who were enjoying the punch.

Rarity: This punch is simply divine.

Icarus: Can't say I disagree.

Pinkie came by and poured them more punch.

Rarity: Is this the same recipe you used for your "Spring Has Sprung" party?

Pinkie: Nope! Something new.

Rarity saw Gummy was in the punch bowl and spat her drink out on Pinkie.

Pinkie: It's Gummy's favorite.

Icarus just shrugged and drank his punch, that's when the music began to play.

Pinkie: Ooh, this is my jam!

Pinkie went over to the dance floor where Twilight and Fluttershy were.

Pinkie: Having fun?

Twilight: A blast!

Fluttershy: You always throw the best parties, Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie: They're always the best parties 'cause my best friends are always there!

Pinkie ended up bumping Twilight and Fluttershy off the dance floor.

Pinkie: C'mon, everypony! Gummy wants to dance!

Gummy just wagged his tail in the center of the dance floor.

Pinkie: Go, Gummy! It's your birthday! Go, Gummy! It's your birthday!

Y/n danced next to Pinkie elegantly.

Pinkie: Oh, hey, N/n! Enjoying the party?!

Y/n: It's adequate.

Pinkie: Think it'll be like this at the Gala?

Y/n: I wouldn't hold your breath.

Later at night.

Everypony began to go home.

Applejack: Hoo-wee! I am beat! I haven't danced that much since... Well, since your last party. Thanks again for the invite!

Rainbow Dash: See ya later, birthday alligator!

Rarity: Bravo for hosting yet another delightful soiree.

Fluttershy: It's been lovely.

Twilight was the last to go.

Pinkie: You sure you don't wanna stay? There's still some cake left.

Twilight: Uh, I think I'm gonna pass. Great party though. We should do this again soon.

Pinkie Pie: (gasp) We should do this again soon!

Pinkie hopped inside where Y/n and his Gargoyles were cleaning up the party.

Pinkie: N/n? I thought you left with everyone else.

Y/n: We've decided to stay and clean up.

Maximus: It was a great party.

Icarus: Yeah. Best I've been to in awhile.

Pinkie: Well, that's really considerate of you.

They quickly got done cleaning.

Icarus: And that should do it.

Pinkie: Thank you all so much. And for payment...

Pinkie gave Y/n a box.

Pinkie: The rest of the cake.

Y/n: It's unnecessary.

Pinkie: Nonsense!

Pinkie began to nuzzle Y/n.

Pinkie: You worked hard, so you deserve a treat.

Y/n froze at the affection.

Maximus: Pinkie, please stop. I think you're making His Highness uncomfortable.

Y/n: It's fine, Maximus. I'll take the cake. Thank you, Pinkie Pie.

Y/n took the cake and his Generals and teleported out in the street.

Maximus: Your Highness, m-may I be so bold as to ask you a question?

Y/n: You may.

Maximus: If this Pinkie Pie annoys you so much, then why don't you just... order her to leave you alone?

Y/n thought for a moment.

Y/n: I... don't know actually.

Rainbow suddenly showed up.

Rainbow Dash: Hey, man!

Y/n: What do you want?

Rainbow Dash: Well, I don't know if you know this, but it's Pinkie Pie's birthday tomorrow.

Y/n: Oh, really?

Icarus: How old is she?

Rainbow Dash: As of tomorrow, 22.

Y/n: So, why are you telling me?

Rainbow Dash: Uh, so you can be there. Me and the girls are throwing her a surprise party.

Y/n: If you've already got everything, why do you need me?

Rainbow began to look a little agitated.

Rainbow Dash: Look, even if you're not gonna bring anything, at least be there. I'm pretty sure that's all she cares about.

Y/n just stood blankly for a moment before teleporting away.

Rainbow Dash: (sigh) I seriously don't get what Pinkie sees in this guy.

With Y/n.

He teleported him and his Gargoyles into the Everfree Forest.

Icarus: Whew! What a night.

Maximus: Sire, a-are we going to the party?

Y/n continued to think.

Y/n: We'll discuss it in the morning.

The next morning.

Icarus and Maximus woke up and instantly saw Pinkie Pie.

Icarus: Oh, hey, Pink-

Pinkie: It's soon!

Maximus: Pardon?

Pinkie: Twilight said we should have another party soon, and... it's soon! Here's your invitation!

Pinkie got out an invite, but didn't see Y/n.

Pinkie: Hey, where's N/n?

Icarus: He's probably still asleep. It's strange, though. He's usually up before us to start morning training.

Y/n came out from behind the tree looking a bit groggy.

Y/n: What's going on?

Pinkie: Hey, N/n! Wanna come to my after party? There'll be cupcakes.

Y/n: Normally I would, but I'm a bit tired today.

Pinkie: Too tired for cupcakes? Are you sure?

Y/n: Do I look unsure to you?

Pinkie looked into Y/n's blank, unwavering eyes.

Pinkie: No. That's okay, I guess. I still have our other friends. But just know, it won't be the same without you.

Pinkie hopped away.

Icarus: It's sad to see her go like that, boss.

Y/n: Maybe, but we have to do what we have to so we don't spoil her surprise.

Icarus/Maximus: Huh?

Y/n: We're going to her birthday party.

Icarus: All right! I like the sound of that.

Maximus: B-But we don't even have a present for her.

Y/n: I got one.

Y/n broke the tree and pulled out a small box.

Y/n: I went to Canterlot last night to get this. I'll tell her it's from all three of us.

Maximus: But we don't even know where the party is, Your Highness.

Y/n thought for a moment.

Y/n: Good thing we know a few ponies who do.

Later.

Y/n with his Generals on his shoulder snuck around houses until he saw Rainbow with a saddlebag.

Y/n: Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow jumped a little in surprise.

Rainbow Dash: Y/n?

Y/n: My Generals and I have decided to go to the party.

Rainbow Dash: Man, I just can't get a read on you sometimes.

Y/n: Where is this party?

Rainbow motioned him to come closer so she could whisper it in his ear.

Rainbow Dash: (Whispering: We're doing it at Sweet Apple Acres in the barn. Remember, we can't tell Pinkie Pie.)

Icarus: I'll try, but I make no promises.

They walked by a hay bale that had Pinkie's eyes, it was also wearing a cap, and trench coat and funny glasses.

Rainbow Dash: Hi, Pinkie Pie.

They both stopped dead in their tracks when they realized what Rainbow said.

Rainbow Dash: Uh-oh.

They both flew away.

Pinkie Pie: Rainbow Dash, N/n, wait!

They two flew around the a corner and stopped in front of some barrels.

Rainbow Dash: Whew!

Maximus: You don't think she heard us, do you?

Y/n: I don't think so?

Pinkie suddenly popped out of a barrel.

Pinkie: Where are you both going?!

Rainbow and Maximus jump  before the four of them flew off again.

Maximus: Does she always pop up out of nowhere!?

Y/n: Pretty much.

Icarus: Ha! That's so practical!

Rainbow Dash: What do we do?!

Y/n: Well, even if she can find us, there's no way she can go after both of us. So, one of us needs to be a decoy.

Icarus: Thanks for volunteering, Dashie.

Rainbow Dash: Wait, what?

Y/n teleported himself and his Gargoyles away.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, buck all three of you!

With Y/n.

Y/n and his Gargoyles teleported right in front of the barn and knocked on the door which Applejack answered.

Applejack: Prince Y/n?

Y/n: Are the others with you?

Applejack: Yeah. You here for the you know what?

Icarus: We sure are.

Y/n: Let me come inside.

Applejack: Oh, sure. Come on in.

Y/n walked into the barn to see everyone helping to set up the party.

Twilight: Oh, Prince Y/n. You're here, too

Y/n: Yeah, and I'm here to tell you that Rainbow is being hunted by Pinkie Pie right now.

Mane 4: What?!

Y/n: Yes, and I have a feeling they'll come this way soon. And if we still need to cover for the party by then, this is what we say.

Later.

Rainbow came flying towards the barn with Pinkie hot on her trail.

Rainbow Dash: Applejack! We have a problem!

Applejack gasped before letting Rainbow in and shutting the door and Pinkie began pounding on it.

Pinkie: I know you're in there!

Applejack opened the top part of the door.

Applejack: Oh! Uh, howdy, partner.

Pinkie: Mind if I... take a look inside the barn?

Pinkie tried to look inside, but Applejack blocked her view.

Applejack: No! Uh, I mean, yes, I mean... You can't come in here!

Pinkie: Rainbow Dash just went in there.

Applejack: Oh, well, she was just bringin' in some... supplies! Yup, supplies for the r-renovation! Fixin' up the whole thing, top to bottom... uh, lots of construction goin' on in there right now!

Icarus: And that's my cue.

Icarus began to play a video projection of ponies doing construction worker with construction audio. Pinkie tried to look in, but Applejack moved her head to block the view again. Pinkie got in Applejack's face, but Applejack pushed back until she finally slammed the door on Pinkie's face to make her back up.

Applejack: Yup! Construction! That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

Applejack gave a nervous laugh and a nervous smile. Pinkie looked at her skeptically for a bit before relenting.

Pinkie Pie: Okey... dokey... lokey.

Pinkie walked away which made Applejack sigh, but Pinkie came back and gave AJ a glare before leaving again. The mane 5 let out a sigh.

Twilight: That was close.

Rarity: Good thing we had Icarus here played that recording.

Twilight: I'm still a little surprised he can even do that.

Y/n: Enough talk. Let us get to work on this party.

Later.

The party was all set up.

Twilight: And that should do it.

Applejack: Great work, everypony.

Fluttershy: Now that we're done, who should get Pinkie Pie?

Rainbow Dash: I'll do it.

Y/n: No.

Rainbow Dash: No?

Y/n: She might expect it if one of you go, but if I go get her, a party will be the last thing she expects.

Rainbow raised an eyebrow.

Rainbow Dash: How do we know you won't just bail?

Twilight: Rainbow.

Y/n: I am the Element of Trust. Do you really think I would do such a thing?

Rainbow Dash: Well, considering you ditched me to deal with Pinkie Pie myself...

Y/n: All right, how about this; If I am not back in about 20 minutes, you may assume a left you and you may retrieve Pinkie Pie yourself.

Applejack: Hm. Sounds fair to me.

Rainbow Dash: Ugh, fine.

Y/n: Lovely. Icarus, Maximus, on my shoulders.

The two Gargoyles perched on Y/n's shoulders like they usually do.

Maximus: Yes, Sire.

Icarus: Right behind ya, boss.

Y/n teleported all three of them in front of Sugarcube Corner and Y/n knocked on the door.

Y/n: Pinkie Pie, are you in there?

There wasn't a response which made the three confused.

Icarus: Huh, Pinkie struck us as someone who would open the door if you knocked.

Y/n: She usually would be.

Y/n opened the door and saw the lights were out.

Y/n: Very strange.

Maximus: I'm starting to get scared.

Y/n: Let's check upstairs.

They flew upstairs to Pinkie's room where there was a table there and the seats were had objects such as; A bucket of turnips, a bag of flour, a ball of lint, and a pile of rocks.

Y/n: What is this?

Maximus: P-Pinkie Pie, are you h-here?

???: I am.

They turned around and saw Pinkie, but something was off about her. Her usual poofy mane and tail were smoothed out, her coat was darker, and instead of that happy smile was replaced with a look of distain.

Pinkie: What do you want, Y/n?

Icarus: Y/n? What happened to N/n?

Y/n's eyes widened a little when she didn't call him by the nickname.

Y/n: Listen, there's something happening at the barn and I need your help.

Pinkie: Sorry, but I'm gonna have to pass. I'm enjoying Gummy's party with my real friends.

Y/n: Real friends?

Pinkie: Meet Mr. Turnip, Rocky, Sir Lints-a-lot, and Madam le Flour. So, if you'd excuse us, we were just enjoying the party. Isn't that right, Madam le Flour? (Voicing Madame le Flour: Oui! That is correct, Madam.)

Maximus: Pinkie?

Pinkie: Another slice of cake, Sir Lints-a-lot? (As Sir Lints-a-lot: I'd love one.)

Maximus: Pinkie Pie, you're scaring me!

Icarus: Scary? This is some of the greatest entertainment I've had in awhile. A mare who thinks inanimate objects are her friends is priceless!

Icarus gave a laugh which made Pinkie shove the turnips in front of him.

Pinkie: (As Mr. Turnip: Got a problem with that, buddy?!)

Icarus: Oh, thanks, Pinkie.

Icarus took a turnip and ate it which made Pinkie go wide-eyed.

Y/n: Listen Pinkamena, I don't have time for your games today. Come with me.

Pinkie: Why should I?

Y/n: Because you always follow me, even when I tell you not to.

Pinkie: Well, you finally got that wish, Y/n!

Y/n's horn began to glow and he focused on Pinkie's energy.

Pinkie: What are you doing?

Y/n: Apologies for having my suspensions that you were a fake Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie got in his face.

Pinkie: I am the real Pinkie Pie!

Y/n used his magic to pin Pinkie to the wall.

Y/n: My eyes and spell tell me you're Pinkamena Diane Pie, but my heart and soul tell me otherwise. I don't know what game you are playing-

Pinkie: It's not a game!

Y/n: Then tell me what it is.

Pinkie: I don't have to tell you!

Y/n: As your Prince, I command it!

Pinkie looked like she was gonna explode.

Pinkie: Fine! It's because of you and those losers I called friends!

Y/n: Hm?

Pinkie: All I wanted was to have a party with all of you, but it turns out none of you ever loved my parties nor even liked being my friends. Why else would you run off and make excuses? I loved all six of you, especially you, Y/n, but the message is clear. So congratulations, Y/n. I'll leave you alone, just like you always wanted!

Pinkie went back to the table and ate some cake with tears in her eyes.

Maximus: Oh, Pinkie Pie.

Seeing Pinkie like this struck something in Y/n so he stepped up to Pinkie and grabbed her by the shoulders, making her look at him.

Y/n: You know what I've always thought about you? I always believed you were the most annoying, idiotic, babbling, attention starved mare I have ever met in my life and at times, I do wish you would just leave me alone.

Pinkie: Well, you're getting that.

Y/n: And I could've ordered you to leave me alone, but I didn't. Listen, I use to hate the way you acted, but seeing you like this, it just isn't right. Me and the others did avoid you, but we had a good reason.

Pinkie: Then tell me, what is this reason?

Y/n: I could tell you, but it would ruin the surprise, right?

Pinkie: Well, how do I know you're telling the truth.

Y/n: (sigh) Do you trust me?

Pinkie: Huh?

Y/n: It is a simple question. Do you trust me?

Pinkie thought for a moment then sighed.

Pinkie: I do a little.

Y/n: Then come with me.

Pinkie thought some more.

Pinkie: Fine. But only on one condition.

Y/n: (sigh) What is it? A hug?

Pinkie: No.

Pinkie grabbed Y/n by his cape a pulled him close.

Pinkie: If you're lying to me, then you're my friend and my friend only and you never talk to those ponies ever again.

Y/n gave Pinkie a quick hug which surprised her and his Generals a bit.

Y/n: I promise.

Y/n opened the door.

Pinkie: Hey, Y/n.

Y/n: Hm?

Pinkie gave Y/n a firm kiss on the cheek which made her coat bright again and made some of her mane go back to normal while Y/n was frozen and his Generals watched.

Icarus: Ha! I totally called it.

Pinkie: That's just a thank you for being my best and most amazing friend.

Y/n nodded and lead all of them out towards Sweet Apple Acres.

Later.

The four were in front of Sweet Apple Acres.

Icarus: All right, Pinkie Pie! Are you ready.

Pinkie: Um, I guess.

Y/n opened the door and everyone was there to say...

Mane 5/Generals: Surprise!

Y/n: Happy birthday, Pinkamena.

Pinkie: Wait, what?

Pinkie fully went back to normal.

Pinkie: It's my birthday?

Y/n: You didn't even know?

Pinkie: No.

She grabbed everyone in a big group hug.

Pinkie: Ooh, how could I have forgotten my own birthday? And you like me so much you decided to throw me a surprise party! You guys are the best friends ever! How could I have ever doubted you?

Mane 5: Huh?

Y/n: Pinkie Pie here thought we were abandoning her.

Rarity: Oh, darling. We would never do such a thing.

Pinkie: I see that now.

Y/n: Pinkie Pie, jumping to conclusions is one of the worst things you can do in any situation. Next time it happens, just evaluate what you know first and then make your decision.

Pinkie: You're right, N/n.

Twilight: Hey, that could be something to write to the Princess.

Applejack: We'll worry about that later. Let's party!

The music began to play and Twilight wrote her letter in the background.

Twilight: "Dear Princess Celestia, I am writing to you from the most delightful party. I'm not only having a great time with my friends, but also was given the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson about friendship. Always expect the best from your friends, and never assume the worst. Rest assured that a good friend always has your best interests at heart. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."

Y/n was leaning against the table with his Generals enjoying some cake.

Icarus: I gotta say, Boss: Love how you handled Pinkie earlier. Couldn't imagine you doing it back in the day, though.

Y/n raised a brow.

Y/n: What do you mean?

Icarus was about to answer when Pinkie walked up to them.

Pinkie: N/n, I want to say thanks for talking me into coming here. And sorry I scared you, Maxie.

She patted Maximus' head which he enjoyed.

Maximus: Apology accepted.

Y/n: Here. We got you a gift.

Y/n presented her the small box.

Y/n: I don't know if you'd like it, but it's the only thing we could find on short notice.

Pinkie opened the box and blushed when she pulled out a cupcake clip on earring.

Pinkie: I love it!

Pinkie put it on her left ear.

Pinkie: How do I look.

Y/n just stared for a bit.

Y/n: You look... nice.

Pinkie hugged him tight which he responded with by wrapping a foreleg around her. While this happened, Twilight watched with pure jealousy before shaking it off.

Twilight: (Thinking: I'll let it slide because it's your birthday, Pinkie.)

As Y/n sat with Pinkie, a light of green and a strange silhouette flashed in his head and he began to breath a bit heavy.

Pinkie: N/n, you feeling okay?

Y/n: Yeah. I'm gonna go get some punch.

He began to walk to the punch bowl.

Y/n: (Thinking: What was that?)

To be continued.
