Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Today!

[Video: Encrypted from Pinkie Pie]

[Cheese appears on the screen with a wide grin and a wave of his hoof.]

Hey everypony!! Today is a super duper awesome day! It's Pinkie Pie's birthday! I know she's pretty new to the Fleet and all, but I've thrown her a little shindig and I'm sure she'd love as many of you lovely folks if you could show up. She will for sure pay it back in kind when your celebrations come up. I mean, if you think I'm a good party planner, you wait til you see her.

So yeah! If you wanna come celebrate her birthday, come on down to the Iskaulit. I'm gonna be bringing her over at about seven. It's gonna be a surprise!!

[Action: Iskaulit]

[And those coming aboard the Iskaulit will find glitterly arrows stuck to the walls, leading them to the room where Cheese has set up the "little shindig". There are balloons and streamers everywhere, bunting and banners hangs from the ceiling - all bearing the face of the aforementioned pink pony. Food tables stand to one side, filled with delicious (but vegetarian) dishes, while another table holds more deserts and treats than you could ever imagine. The center-piece is a birthday cake which seems to be in the shape of an aligator. But Cheese isn't actually that great at the culinary arts despite his name, so it's kind of hard to tell.

Regardless, it's clear a lot of effort has gone into this, and the theme PINKIE IS GREAT is perhaps a little too obvious. But this is what happens when you put others on pedestals. Time to party like they're not on a bunch of spaceships trapped in a reality TV show for the rest of time. Woooo!]

[Well the flow of fuzzies is DEFINITELY mutual right now.]

Aw, Cheese~! This is DEFINITELY a fun time! I didn't think I'd get to CELEBRATE it much today! THANK you so much, Cheese!

[preformthisneigh]

Like I#d let the superest party pony in the world not have her own party! It's unthinkable!

[His smile softens a little. ]

Happy birthday, Pinkie.

[spontaneouscombustion]

It really is, thanks to the OTHER superest party pony in the world!

[Aaaand time to let go.]

Oh wow, these decorations are AMAZING! And that food and that CAKE! I don't even know what to check out first!

[preformthisneigh]

[The praise means a lot of him, really. SENPAI NOTICED MEEEEE. ]

Thanks! I know I'm not as good a baker as you, and the guy who used to make my cakes left. Still, I hope it still looks like Gummy. It does, right?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Are you kidding, it looks JUST like him! And I can't wait to see what's INSIDE either!

[Plus really, while she's had LOTS of baking experience, his fine art decorations are WAY nicer than hers! Dat banner and dat ice sculpture!]

If you ever want my help making cakes, feel free to call me up! That augment taught me engineering instead of cooking with all this new stuff, but I certainly don't mind practicing~

[preformthisneigh]

It'll be delicious, I promise.

[Actually he just HOPES it'll be delicious, given he haphazardly threw some chocolate in there in the hope it wouldn't end up vile. ]

Really? That's be great! You're so much better at this than me. [No duh, Cheese, she's a baker.] And that would make us an ever better team!

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Space Duff Goldman, save them all.

Nah, she's sure it'll be great. (Plus she eats burnt cupcakes no problem, this should be alright, right?)]

Even better than we are now! Super duper party planners, that is me and you~

[preformthisneigh]

[Suddenly, from nowhere, a wild accordion appears. ]

♫ We're an unstoppable team, this is absolutely true!

[spontaneouscombustion]

♫ We throw the bestest parties, in any galaxy~ ♫

[preformthisneigh]

♫ And we're as big as a thousand tap dancing matinees! ♫

[Yeah he is just making it up as he goes what else is new? ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Always works for her!]

Hahahaha that must REALLY be big! I wonder how they'd get those shoes on!

[preformthisneigh]

A whoooooole lot of grease, I'd bet!

[spontaneouscombustion]

Pffffft hahahaha GREAT one, Cheese!

[preformthisneigh]

Thank you, thank you. I do try.

So! You wanna see what sort of games I got planned?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Do I?! Do cake and ice cream go great together?!

[preformthisneigh]

You better believe they do!

[He'll happily trot over to a wide array of games, some she might not even recognise. ]

Some of these are from Earth, figured you'd like to give them a whirl.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oooooh I'm ALWAYS up for a new game~!

[preformthisneigh]

GREAT!

[He'll point to one that is a long clear plastic tube with straws posted into holes in the middle, which hold up some marbles. Yeah, it's... ]

This one's called Ker-plunk! You take a turns to take out straws and whoever makes the least marbles fall in the end is the winner!

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, THIS is a new one! Hee, my sister Marble might like this one a LOT!

Hmmmm I think I'll piiiiick THIS one!

[There's still plenty of straws holding up the marble bundle so none fall yet. Cheese's turn~]

[preformthisneigh]

It's from Earth! Pretty neat, right?

[He'll carefully take a straw of his own, nothing falls yet. SO INTENSE!!!! ]

Does Marble like marbles?

[Sometimes pony names lead their destinies, but sometimes it's just random. One can never tell.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[SUCH INTENSITY!]

You bet! ANYTHING with rocks, really! Same for all my family!

She's really REALLY shy, though. She likes smaller, quieter parties.

[Oh yeah, did he hear about the rock farm yet?]

[preformthisneigh]

[It's the most intense thing ever!!!!!! ]

Wow, really? Rocks? And here's me thinking you came from a family of epic party ponies.

[It would make sense. She's so GOOD at it and so full of joy. 'Rocks' is not the word that comes to mind when he thinks of her. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Pfffft nope! I do come from a family of epic rock farmers though~

[It's... not the most exciting job in the world, but hey, somepony's gotta farm those rocks.

Ooooh those marbles are starting to tremble a little...]

[preformthisneigh]

That's really neat! I mean, I never would have guessed it. So what's rock farming like?

[He'll pull a a straw and clink! a marble topples down. He picks it up and puts it in what will no doubt be a sizeable pile for him.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Reeeeally really quiet. Heck, before I saw Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom, we barely talked at all, let alone smiled or laughed or sang or anything.

[It's all said nonchalantly, though, no bitterness at all, before she pulls out another straw taking one-- oh, no TWO marbles with it.]
