The Day My Life Began

A Me Party

"Hey Pinkie Pie."

The pony glared at me, hate in her blue eyes. It was a strange sight. Her eyes crossed, and she walked to the pile of rocks. "What's the chump doin' 'ere?"

I smirked. "This chump is here to celebrate Gummy's after-birthday party."

Pinkie made the rocks scoff. "Nopony's comin' to the party, chump!"

"You came to the party, so what does that make you...chump?" I challenged.

The rocks stopped. Pinkie went up to Madame Flour.

"Oh, and just vat is it that you plan to do?" The french sack of flour asked me.

"I plan on celebrating with Pinkie." I looked up at Pinkie. "Because she's my friend."

Pinkie broke out of Madame Flour's character, smiling at me. "R-Really? You still want to be my friend?"

"Of course I do!" I said, walking up to her side. My right hoof wrapped around her shoulder. "Why wouldn't wanna be friends with the coolest party pony around?"

Pinkie started grin, and I think I saw some hairs curl. They were gone in a blink. The pink pony grabbed Sir Lintsalot.

"You lie!" She yelled. She kinda sounded like an impression of Rarity.

I shook my head. "I lie, yes, but I never lie about a birthday."

It had been an interesting two weeks, since Lilac's birthday. Twilight got an owl, for one thing. That was a fun day. I can't really blame Spike for being jealous. Owls were pretty awesome.

Then, on Monday morning, I got a singing telegram to come to Gummy's party. Even thought the invite said no gifts, I left one anonymously. Sugar cookie bubble bath mix. I can't help giving gifts!

I brought myself into the birthday party for Pinkie. When the decorated the party, I helped. Rainbow Dash was just about to offer to get the despondent Pinkie, but I stepped in.

So here I was, trying to convince Pinkie Pie to come to her own birthday party. It was entertaining.

I cut myself a slice of cake, bringing it in front of me. "So, Gummy is a whole year old?"

Pinkie smiled, her still flat and body still gray-ish. "Yep! I got him as an egg fourteen months ago, and he finally hatched one year ago yesterday!"

I laughed. "Yeah. When I found Lilac, (thought technically, she found me), it was closer for three months for her to hatch. The cutest little dragon on the planet."

"What about Spike?" Pinkie asked.

"Spike is awesome." I said. "Not Dash awesome, but still awesome."

"Really?"

"Dash is twenty percent cooler than Spike." I laughed. I thought now was a good time to get Pinkie to talk. "So, Pinkie, why are you so...upset?"

The party pony groaned, dropping into her chair with a deep scowl on her muzzle. She rolled her still bright blue eyes. "I invited everypony to this party, but Nopony came! They've been avoiding me, and lying to me! And, I heard from a very reliable source, that they don't want to be my friends anymore!"

Her eyes crossed. She grabbed Rocky. "Yeah! Those chumps don't wanna be her friends? Then she don't wanna be their friends!"

"Pinkie, they are all still your friends." I comforted. "And, I have in on a much better source, that they are actually planning a super secret event."

Pinkie's eyes uncrossed, she gave me a curious look. "You do?"

I nodded. "Yep. Right now, they're all at Applejack's barn, putting the last of this plan together. It's supposed to be a really big surprise."
