"An old friend."   "He taught me a great many things about dealing with people. One such thing was dealing with the stares that follow my kind." > Twilight snorts while she laughs. > "You have a strange friend." > You suppose you did. > You just laugh again. "Yes I do..." > You shrug. "Did." > Pinkie Pie chimes in. > "Silly Anon, you don't stop being friends just 'cause you're far away!" > True, but that didn't change the fact that he had been dead for nearly two decades.   > You at least have the tact not to voice that thought. > Instead you stop yourself at agreeing. > You also realize that your dancing has dislodged most of the dirt on you. > Which leaves it on the floor. > You point it out and offer too clean it up, however before you can do anything Pinkie Pie is gone in a flash. > A Pink blur circles around you and before you know it both you and the floor are clean. > When the Pink blur stops, it becomes clear that it was Pinkie Pie. > You want to ask how she did that. > The fact that no one else seems to even care however means this probably isn't uncommon. > So you don't bother, you'll probably have an answer soon enough.   > Once all has been re-arranged properly you notice that business has died down a bit since you entered. > As such when Pinkie Pie asks to head out with you and Twilight, Miss Cake has no objections. > She does however thank you for the little stunt you pulled. > She said it would probably wind up being good for business in the long run. > You don't feel right accepting thanks for what could have easily back fired. > Again you say nothing to the contrary. > Relieved of her duties for the day Pinkie Pie steps out into the streets you and Twilight in tow. > She excitedly going over what she has planned for the day. > Your usually acute hearing is failing to keep up with what shes saying. > Most of what she says you can't piece together, one thing stands out though. > She keeps mentioning a party?     > You keep walking but as she continues you keep hearing 'party'. "Pinkie Pie, what are you assembling a party for?" > She turns around and starts walking backwards. > "I was just telling Twilight about the awesome party we're gonna throw for you!" > Huh? "Pardon?" > She starts hoping backwards now a large grin on her face. > "I throw a party for eeeevvvveryon who comes to P0nyville, so of course I have to throw one for y-"   "No."
