Cheese is Good, Cheese is Nice

[spontaneouscombustion]

Who: Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Iskaulit
When: October 23

[Frankly, this last shuffle could go to Tartarus in a wicker basket and a card reading "Dear Tirek: Dig In." But if there's one thing that could bring some joy back to Pinkie after losing a friend, it was making others happy. Especially by throwing a birthday party she'd been planning for months, and doubly especially for the love of her life, and someone who lifted her up after the hard weekend. So early-ish in the morning, those who Pinkie knew to be Cheese's close friends would get a video message.]

Morning, everybody~! Pinkie Pie here, and I've got a super DUPER special birthday I need help celebrating today! My super duper co-party planner and even super-duper-er special somepony Cheesy turns another year older today, so come by the Iskaulit for lots of cake and punch and games! See you there~

[Indeed, Pinkie pulled out as many stops as she could for this one. There's a vast and varied snack bar (vegetarian of course) featuring fondue and chips and dip and pizzas, a literal rainbow of punchbowls, and as many non-dice party games as you can shake a tail at. And the centerpiece is a pretty dang big chocolate cake with a frosting in the image of Cheese's Party Howitzer, Boneless 2 riding on top like a proud general. (She wanted it to be colossal but flour's been at a premium and the last of it went into this beauty.) Come on in, guys, and give the Fleet's first party pony some love back.]

GOD HOW DARE

[Cheese does have a genuine smile for Sora at least, as vaguely uncomfortable with all the attention he is. ]

Hya Sora, thanks! You enjoying the party?

[That's what's important, right? ]

[notzubats]

Sure am! Pinkie throws as good a party as you do!

What about you? Having a good birthday?

[preformthisneigh]

Better, even! She's the best of the best.

[That was something he would stand by until the day he died.]

I am, actually. This is just enough for me.

[Small, surrounded by people he cared about. It was all he needed. ]

[notzubats]

Oh, well lucky for you then!

[Were Sora was someone else, he might feel compared to disagree- or try to reassure his friend that he was just as good. But Sora gets it, it's like how he is with Riku- nothing wrong with being #2 at something, if the #1 is your friend]

Oh yeah, I got you something! [He holds out a package that's rather large, at least the size of a head] Here!

[Inside? Is a Cowboy Cheese hat, made out of foam rather than actual cheese- of course]

[preformthisneigh]

[Sora absolutely gets it. Cheese is very content with playing second fiddle to Pinkie. After all, without her, he'd never be where he is today.

He opens the package with a grin, because sweet Celestia above this is quite possibly the greatest hat that ever existed. ]

It's....it's a cheese hat! [He laughs giddily. ] Oh wow! Thanks, Sora. This is so cool!!!

[It's going right on his head, he doesn't even care. ]

[notzubats]

[Sora smiles and pumps his fist in happiness. Yes! It work]

Haha, I thought you'd like it!! You look grate in it!

[preformthisneigh]

[Puns are the best gift of all. ]

You're right, I'm going to look Gouda!

[notzubats]

Sure are! You're going to be-

[...]

...I can't think of another cheese.

[preformthisneigh]

I could list them off for pun purposes, but we'd be here literally forever.

[notzubats]

Heh- that's okay! You should be enjoying your birthday instead of listing off puns!

[preformthisneigh]

You mean that's what what someone does on their birthday?
