fandomhigh | The Elements of Friendship, Thursday, Period 1

Any students who made it to class today would find the Danger Shop set up like a cozy, barn-loft-ish room with hardwood floors and a long, cheerfully decorated table. In fact, the whole place was done up with balloons and streamers and there was a giant, multiteared cake at the head of the table.

"Surprise!" shouted Pinkie. "Everyone's been having such a super terrible time of it lately, I thought it best that we just relax and have ourselves a little cheer. And what better way to be cheery than with a party?"

This might seem a bit inappropriate but not all that strange -- except that Pinkie's hair was dead straight and her eyes weren't quite tracking.

"I want you all to meet some friends of mine!" She gestured to the table, where, arranged on stools in places of honor and wearing party hats sat a bucket of turnips, a pile of rocks, a ball of lint, and a sack of flour. "This is Mr. Turnip, Rocky, Sir Lint-a-Lot, and Madame Le Flour! Say hi, everypony!" And she rushed to the table, where she ducked behind Madame Le Flour to make her wave her . . . top right corner . . . at the students with a cheerful, high pitched, French accented "Good day students! Welcome to our party!"

"And of course," Pinkie said, zipping back out in front of the table. "There's our very special guest of honor!" She twitched into a grimace, then grinned again, before zipping around the cake to wheel out a strange pony statue made out of junk. It had purple yarn hair sprouting from a blue teapot head, with yellow streamers for wings and a purple and orange body made out of PVC piping. "This is Twiflutterrainapple Dashjackshysparkity! She's just dying to meet you!"

This could not be good.

[Party is partially taken from 1x25, "Party of One". Pinkie doesn't react well to stress.]

And possibly be answered by Sir Lint-a-Lot!

"Uh. Pinkie." Scully wasn't sure where to take this. "I, uh. How are you feeling? Today."

"Great!" said Pinkie. And she twitched. "Isn't this a great party?"

"Sparkly," Scully lied through her teeth. "Soooo, where did you meet-- Madame Le Flour?"

Would psychotropics work on pink ponies?

"Oh, we go way back, isn't that right, Madame Le Flour?"

"Oui! That is correct, Madame!"

Okay, so... probably not a joke? Maybe? "She's very-- French." Scully honestly had no idea what to say here. "And your friend, Twiflutter... pony?"

"I'm so happy she's here! I was so worried about my friends back home."

"Did she say pony?" Pinkie said in her Rocky voice as she elbowed the pile of rocks to make it wobble in time with the words. "I thought we hated the ponies!"

"Oh don't be silly, Rocky. That was all a misunderstanding, remember?"

That's right, Pinkie was now arguing with her imaginary party guest.

"I'm sure your friends are fine," Scully said, in the most awkward and least convincing voice ever. "And rocks don't-- like ponies?"

"Of course they are, silly," Pinkie said. "They're right here! And Rocky's just still mad about that time I thought my friends were all lying to me and avoiding me because they didn't like my parties and didn't want to be my friends anymore."

"It was despicable!" cried Madame Le Flour.

Oh, jeez. "That's a very, very sad story," Scully said, completely meaning it. "But they weren't? I hope?"

"Oh no, they were just planning my surprise birthday party! Weren't you, Twiflutterrainapple Dashjackshysparkity?"

Twiflutterrainapple Dashjackshysparkity said nothing. Pinkie didn't seem to mind.

Which somehow does not exactly make this better. At all. "I'm glad," Scully said, then a little more easily, "It's a great party. Really."

"Thanks! It's always a good party when all my friends are here!" And then she zipped about the table to make Mr. Turnip, Rocky, Sir Lint-a-Lot, and Madame Le Flour all chime in.
