I know I suck at writing, but happy birthday.   >Be FemAnon. >And today's a special day, or the ponies around you think so. >Your birthday. >Some of your friends are already here at the little party Pinkie threw for you. >Ponies show up, wishing you a happy birthday, baring a gift of some sort. >You didn't ask for anything, or really want anything, but you accepted the gifts regardless. >You hear a knock on the door, and you're the closest, so you answer it. >As you open the door, a blast of confetti showers down on you >"HAPPY BIRTHDAY NONNY!!" is all you hear through the ringing in your ears from the explosion of confetti. >Pinkie immediately starts doing some sort of dance, how on two legs, you'll never know. >"It might as well be your birthday, so why don't we have a party! Even if your age isn't real and your body's an illusion!" >Body's an illusion? Age isn't real? >You shrug it off. >It IS Pinkie after all. "Thanks for showing up, Pinkie... Wait.. Don't you kind of live here?" >"OF COURSE I'd show up for your party! I hope you're enjoying it so far~!" "There's no way I could NOT have fun at one of your parties Pinkie." >The party really was a blast, with all kinds of games, and fun things to do. >Even Cranky Doodle was there, and HE was having fun. >That's saying something when your parties are good enough for him to be having fun. >You were just happy people showed though, it meant a lot to you. >As the party begins to settle down, you head upstairs to relax a little. >You saunter into the first room, filled with more pink than you'd ever seen. "P-pink..." >Sitting on Pinkie's bed, you think about the ponies that were there. >Were they your friends? Or were they just replacements for the ones you lost when you came to Equestria? >Were friends that easily replaced? >The door opening makes you jump a little, but spotting Pinkie behind it, you relax quickly. >"Hiya Nonny! Did you like your party?" "I did, it was a lot of fun Pinkie," you say, trying to mask your emotions with a smile. >She doesn't seem convinced. >"Why'd you leave...?" "I... Just needed a little time to myself. Being around that many people is something I'm not used to..." >"But what's the REAL reason?" "..." >That easy to read... "I... I just don't know why all this matters... I try to understand every single day, but I can never find an answer..." >Her sad look only hurts you more. >These parties mean everything to her... But here you're not having fun... "I'm sorry Pinkie, I should stop moping-" >Before you can finish, she had wrapped herself around you in a hug. >The tears finally start to flow through wide eyes. >"The purpose is to enjoy yourself. And when you feel lonely or sad, I'm here for you. We all are. In the end, friends and family are what matter." "T-thanks Pinkie..." >"I do what I can. Now COME ON, there's still some CAKE left!" >You follow Pinkie to what's left of the party, and enjoy the rest of the night with her. >In the end... It was the best party you'd ever had.
