A/N: I hope y'all are enjoying the story so far. I'd love to hear what y'all have to say about it so far. I am open to hearing some criticism; just be respectful, please.

*The Next Day*

Pinkie Pie finished tying the last of the balloons to the barn door. With that done, she looked around at the balloon-infested barn, admiring her work. Streamers lined the walls and ceiling while confetti littered the floor and numerous hay bale stacks, courtesy of her confetti cannon. There were balloons in every color of the rainbow sitting in various places, making the barn look like it had gotten painted by a leprechaun. Pinkie Pie ran over to the cake she'd baked earlier that day and grabbed the mini confetti cannon that was sitting on the table next to it. It had taken her all night to build the mini version, but she knew that she had to for the girls and the party's reputation.

Just as Pinkie Pie had finished lining the cannon up to the hole within the cake, she felt her ears change to that of a pony. Her hair was next, elongating and forming her pony-like tail in a flash of pink light. She finished wiring the confetti cannon when her tail twitched behind her. That was followed by her ears flapping and her knees jiggling a little, signaling to the party girl that her friends were arriving now. She knew her Pinkie Sense well enough to know what those three signals meant. When she walked away from the cake, she waved to Applejack and Fluttershy.

"Hey girls, I am almost finished setting up all the decorations," said Pinkie Pie as she grabbed a few more streamers.

Fluttershy made her way over to a set of hay bales near the barn entrance while Applejack placed a case of her family's famous apple cider on the table.

"It's fine, Pinkie. We don't mind waiting for you, right, Shy?" asked Applejack, turning to look at Fluttershy.

"Oh, yes, we don't mind..." said Fluttershy, looking down at a small lamb that was approaching her.

The lamb was all white with a cute little pink nose to add to its cuteness. Its big blue eyes blinked as it took in the sight of the girl in front of it. The lamb let out a quiet baaa as Fluttershy reached down and stroked its wool. It felt so soft and silky against her palm, which made her want to continue petting it. But she stopped after a few minutes, allowing the lamb to have its space. Petting the lamb had calmed her nerves a little and let Fluttershy relax a bit.

"Where's your mother, little lamb?" asked Fluttershy, looking around for the lamb's parents.

The lamb looked behind it as a sheep that was smaller than the average one walked into the barn.

"There she is," said the lamb, running over to her. "Ma, meet... What's your name, miss?"

"Oh, goodness. I forgot to introduce myself," said Fluttershy, looking between the lamb and its mother. "My name is Fluttershy."

"It's very nice to meet you, dear," said the mother, bowing her head down before returning to meet Fluttershy's gaze. "Would you mind watching my little Snowflake for a while? I have to find her father. We're going to find a good grazing spot later."

"I don't mind at all," replied Fluttershy, trying to keep her excitement contained. After all, she didn't want to frighten the lamb or her mother.

"Thank you, dear," said the mother as she walked out of the barn, searching for her lost husband.

Pinkie Pie, who had just finished adding a few more streamers to the ceiling rafters, wheeled in a DVD player with a tv sitting on the top of the cart. Sitting on top of the DVD player was a small stack of movies. Some of the films were romantic comedies, others were action, but there was one film that was different from the rest. It was a black case with some tape on the side which read 'Surprise Video.' It sat on top of the other movies, allowing her to grab it.
