>You are Anonymous. >And today is your birthday. >Boy have you been excited for today. >Your mommy has too. >She's always the best when it comes to throwing parties. >You toss the blanket off of you and hop out of bed in your PJ's made by Aunt Rarity. >Your mommy had to get them made specially for you, because you're different from all the other boys and girls. >That just proves how much she loves you though. >As you open your door, and walk out into the hallway you burst into a fit of giggles. >"I'm the tickle monster and I love to tickle little boys, especially if its their birthday!" >You look to the left and mommy in her tickle monster guise sitting at the end of the hall. >You let loose an excited yelp and turn around to run away. >She's hot on your trail! >As you approach the stairs you slow down to a walking pace. >She arrives at the stairs and does the same. >Those were the rules. >You didn't want to fall and crack your head like an egg did you? >"Oh curse these infernal stairs of slowness!" >Another giggle fit hits you. >Your mommy always knew how to make you smile. >It's what she was best at after all >Well that, and throwing parties. >As soon as you reach the ground floor, you take off again. >You turn the corner and the pastry counter comes into view. >That was the safe zone. >It's definitely not going to be easy to get with mommy right behind you. >"I smell a little boy thats ripe for a tickling!" >She turns the corner and rapidly speeds up. >You get very close, but she closes the distance, and scoops you up into a hug. >"You can't outrun the tickle monster! >Her hooves assault your body in a tickle attack. >You cant help but laugh at your mommy's tickle assault. >Soon the tickling ends and she returns to normal. >She gives you a kiss on the forehead and gives you a big hug. >"Good morning baby." "but i'm not a baby anymore mommy!" >She giggles a bit at that statement. >"Oh yeah today is your birthday isn't it?" >"How old are you going to turn today baby?" "I'm going to be six years old!" >A surprised gasp erupts from her. >"Six?" >Her hoof goes to her muzzle as she moves into a thinking pose. >"Your right Nony! You're definitely not a baby any more." >She drops down and gives you a kiss on the cheek before wrapping you up in another hug. >You'll always going to be my baby, no matter how big you get." >A nuzzle greets your cheek. >"I love you Nony." "I love you too mommy." >Your mommy breaks the hug as she moves behind the counter to grab her saddlebag. >"You've got a big day today Nony! We have to go visit everypony and deliver your birthday party invitations. >You nod your head as she continues to go on about your party plans. "I want to invite Aunt Twilight, and Aunt Rarity, and-" >She cuts you off mid sentence. >"Oh don't worry, we'll make sure everypony gets their invitations." "I want a big chocolate cake too." >"Of course silly! We're going to do it up, but we have to go give 'em their invitations and party first before we have cake. >"Before we go deliver invitations, we have to eat some breakfast. >She moves to the pantry, pulls out your favorite cereal, and pours you a bowl. >In addition to your cereal, she peels some oranges and gives you a few slices on the side. >She always liked to give you a lot to eat. >Because in her own words- >"C'mon Nony! You gotta eat big to get big!" >As you eat your breakfast, you hear the sound of hoofsteps on the stairs. >"Well it looks like I'm not the first one to wake up for once." >You turn your head to greet the newcomer. "Good Morning Aunt Cupcake." >"Good morning Mrs. Cake!" >"Good morning Pinkie dear, and good morning birthday boy." >You get a full glimpse of Aunt Cupcake in her bunny slippers and morning robe. >"Enjoying some breakfast I see." >"Yup, we're just getting something to eat before we head out to give invitations." >"Oh yes that reminds me, I've got quite the surprise for you later today Anon." >Your excitement must be visible on your face because she starts giggling. >"I can see just how excited you are." >It looks like you were right. >As you continue chatting with Aunt Cupcake, you hear another set of hoofsteps coming down the stairs. >"Well it looks like the gangs all here." >Uncle Carrot Cake treads down the stairs to join you. >"Good morning everyone." >You all respond with your own good mornings. >He goes to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee, but as he comes back his attention turns to you. >"Today's the big day ain't it anon?" "Yup!" >"I was just telling Anon that we have quite the surprise for him today." >He nods his head in agreement. >"but it's for later." >The sound of crying interrupts your conversation. >Aunt Cupcake and Uncle Carrot Cake sigh. >"I'll go upstairs and feed them, you just get your coffee and wake up." >Aunt Cupcake leaves you to go feed the babies as you finish your breakfast. >Mommy puts her saddlebag into place, and takes your plate into the kitchen. >"It's about time for us to get going too Mr. Cake." >He waves you off dismissively. >"You've got things to do, don't let us keep you any longer." >With a quick thank you, mommy heads to the door and bends down in front of you with her flank in the air. >She turns to look at you with a smile. >"You ready for a ride Nony?" >You nod your head and get into position and sit down on her saddle as she lifts up. >She shifts a bit before deciding that she's comfortable. >The door is opened to reveal the colorful town of Ponyville. >A warm morning breeze flows through. >with a hop and a skip, mommy heads into town. >As she's walking, her face shifts into one of thought, before stopping completely. >She ponders for a bit before turning around to face you. >"Y'know I never even asked. Who do you want to visit first Nony?" >You ponder on top of mommy. >Choosing who you want to visit is tough. >You decide on aunt Twilight after a moment of thought. "Can we go visit Aunt Twilight first mommy?" >"We sure can!" She happily replies. >Mommy picks up her pace once again to a gentle trot as she heads toward Ponyville's library. >Within a short amount of time you arrive at the great hollow. >Mommy leans in a bit to let you knock on the door. >"Just a second!" >A few moments later the door is opened by a purple unicorn. >With a burst of confetti mommy shouts- >"Heya Twilight!" >Aunt Twilights initial look of surprise is quickly replaced with a knowing smile. >"Hi Pinkie." >She cranes her neck to get a look at your face. >" I see big boy Anonymous came with you too." >Mommy leans her head down so you can properly hug Aunt Twilights neck. "Hi Aunt Twilight." >You hear a 'daww' come from her as she returns your hug. >A few moments later the hug ends, and mommy gets back to business. >Reaching into her saddlebag she pulls out two special letters, and hands them to Aunt Twilight. >"ooh turning six years old are we? I remember my sixth birthday." >She looks up, deep in remembrance of her younger days. >"Hey Twi who's at the door? >You catch a glimpse of a small dragon. >"Is that Anon and Pinkie?" >He gives you a polite wave. >"Yeah they were just coming here to invite us to Anon's birthday party later today." >"Alright you can bet we'll be there!" >You really hope Spike can make it. >He's so cool. >"I'd love to stay and chat guys, but me and Nony here have to get the rest of these invitations delivered." >"Why didn't you just have the post office deliver them?" >"Don't be silly Twilight! Give 'em to the post office and miss out on being able to see my friends? No way Po-nay! >Aunt Twilight chuckles a bit at that. >"Alright you've made your point. Don't let me keep you any longer." >After you've said your goodbye's, you embark for the next guest. >"Where to next Nony?" >In the distance you can see sprawling green hills that are dotted with apple trees. >After seeing an image like that you decide that you want to go to Sweet Apple Acre's. "Let's go see Aunt Applejack." >"I was thinking that exact same thing!" She happily chirps. >You begin the somewhat long trek towards the massive farm. >"Hey Nony." "Yes mommy?" >Why do you think your Aunt Applejack and her family work so hard? "I dont know, why?" >"Because it's their CORE buisness!" >For some reason mommy starts laughing uncontrollably. >You don't get the joke but fake a laugh anyway. >You don't want to hurt mommy's feelings. >Soon enough you find yourself walking through the gate leading to Aunt Applejack's Orchard. >You hear a resounding thud somewhere in the patch of trees to your left. >time to start looking. >"HEY APPLEJACK!" >"z'at you Pinkie?" >Or not. >You see Aunt Applejack making her way through the trees. >"Well I'll be! If it ain't Pinkie and her young 'un. What brings you around these parts? >We've got a delivery for you Applejack. A very special delivery for a very special boy's very special Birthday party!" Mommy happily chimes before handing Aunt Applejack four letters. >"Shoot you're turnin six years old?" She remarks as she reads over her letter. "Yup." >She could probably see the pride on your face right now. >"Why, it seems like just yesterday I was helping your momma raise you when you were just a baby! "but I'm not a baby anymore Aunt Applejack." >She chuckles a bit "No, I reckon you're a big'un now." >Aunt Applejack had a funny accent. >She always got a kick out of when you tried to sound like her though. "You reckon you'll have all your work done before my party? >A small giggle fit hits her. >Granny's on a trip to Manehatten right now, and Big Mac ain't feelin to well right now, but me an Applebloom will be there for sure, you can count on it." >You thank her and head on your way. >As you're leaving Sweet Apple Acres, you notice old, and discarded apple cores. >Apple cores >Suddenly you understand the joke mommy made earlier. >You bust out into laughter, this time for real. >Mommy seems indifferent to your laughter, happily marching on with no remark on your sudden giggle fit. >"Where are we going next birthday boy?" "Lets go see Aunt Rarity."  >"Okie Dokie Lokie!"  >After a few minutes of hopping, you and mommy arrive at Aunt Rarity's Boutique. >As you walk in, the bell on the door gives an audible jingle. >"Coming!" >A moment later, Aunt Rarity appears from the stairway. >"Oh hello Pinkie dear, and is that my darling little Anonymous?" >She lifts you up in her magical grip and brings you closer. >Seconds later, your face is showered in Aunt Rarity's Kisses. >She always liked to be very affectionate. >Mommy giggles at the sight of Aunt Rarity's affection. >After the onslaught of kisses, she sets you down on the ground. >"So is there anything I can do for you both today?" >"Well there's something you can do later." Mommy remarks as she digs through her bag for the invitation. >With an exchange of envelopes, Aunt Rarity remarks, "Why that's right! Today is your birthday isn't it Anonymous dear? Your turning six years old aren't you? "Yup" >"Soon you'll have fillies lining up to get kisses from you." >She, and mommy both have a laugh as you visibly gag. >"So can you be there Rare?" >Mommy chuckles a bit at her rhyme. >"Never you mind dear, I have some work to do today, but Sweetie Belle, and I will most certainly be there." >You hug her hooves "Thank you Aunt Rarity." >An 'aww' sound is heard from above you. >Once more she lifts you in her magical grip. >This time however she squeezes your cheeks. >"You are just so adorable I can't help myself!" >After she's had enough fun with your cheeks, she sets you back on mommy's saddle. >"See ya later Rarity!" >Goodbyes are exchanged as you exit the boutique, with the bell once more making a jingle.
