Pinkie Pie

As Pinkie followed @Applejack through the party hall, she looked furiously from side to side, from up and down and even diagonal on any sort of clue. All the while, looking through the lens of a magnifying glass in the hopes of finding their potential hat culprit. As she craned her neck, the magnifying glass she looked through landed on @Shiny Silvermoon and Skoobi's faces. Prompting her to give a shocking shout as her whole body jumped up, while levitating in the air momentarily. "Whoo! That was a good scare and it wasn't even Nightmare Night! Ooooooh~! I might have to keep that in mind for next year's Nightmare Night party!" Pinkie says as she giggled with glee. "Hey, Shiny! It's really great to see you! It looks like you brought a friend, which means that we've got a team! Maybe we can become a team called Hearth's Warming Inc.!" She exclaimed, before tapping her chin with her forehoof. "It kind of rolls off the tongue, but then it might only be for just Hearth's Warming. Which works, but maybe a different title. Guess that's a work in progress." She spoke softly in thought, shaking her head with a smile as she could think about it later. In the meantime, there was a mystery to be solved. "I'm glad that you asked, Shiny! We need to split up, gang! It's all about spreading out and search for clues." She started, before noticing something out of the corner of her eye. While Skoobi had indeed eaten a good portion of the treats she had prepared, she knew that she could always make more delicious desserts. No, what caught her attention was a trail of an assortment of crumbs, chocolate and sprinkles leading in a different direction. "Huh? Now that's very curious as I didn't see that mess before." She says, before nodding and turning back towards the two guests in front of her. "Applejack and I are heading through party hall, while you two can check the trail of treats. It seems that whoever left that was hungry and wanted to take some treats on the road. It looks fairly recent, so they couldn't have gotten too far! If you find anything, please let us know as soon as you can." She says, quickly making her way out of the party room to catch up to Applejack. Upon reaching her investigation teammate, Pinkie took a deep breath. Both to gasp in shock, while also explain what she had found. "Applejack! You won't believe what happened! Shiny and her friend are here to help and I just found a clue that I asked them to follow. There seems to be chocolate, sprinkles and crumbs leading in an opposite direction. Probably a way to split up the team, but maybe the paths meet up! I asked the two to do the whole split up plan as we continue our search. Did you find any clues? Do you know who might be behind this?" As Pinkie spoke, she almost became tongue tied, while also looked like she was deflating like a balloon from the breath she used to speak. Taking another breath, she inflated back to normal as she wondered what Applejack had found.

Taking notice of how slightly shaken up @Samurai Equine Trilby looked, Pinkie tilted her head as her smile never left her face. "Ah. I see, I see. This will help immensely as my friends and I help out in the investigation." Pinkie smiled with a squee, before reaching over as she patted Trilby on the shoulder. "I wouldn't worry as we'll make sure to find your hat. It'll show up out of nowhere before you know it. Plus, my friends and I always want to do our best in helping everypony out as best as we can. That's what friendship is all about." Pinkie's ears perked at the sound of a door opening. Craning her neck, Pinkie was met with @Applejack, who had brought out more treats for the partygoers. "Thanks for bringing out more treats, Applejack! Can't go wrong with extra extra dessert treats before the extra treats are taken." Pinke winked, before zipping right over to her friend's side. "Consider it done! Been a long time since we worked together on something. I think the last time was during a Hearth's Warming celebration between our families." Pinkie smiled fondly as she recalled that memory like it was yesterday. Just then, a lightbulb went off as an idea took form. "Think we'll be needing our hats Twilight and I wore when we were on that cake train mystery?" Pinkie asks, pulling the Sherlock Holmes and Watson hats from seemingly out of nowhere. All the while, feeling psyched on helping to find Trilby's hat.

With the party going full swing, Pinkie pushed the door open with her moving cart of treats. Along with more and more desserts on said moving tray cart to be had. "Come and get it, everypony! Gingerbread ponies, sugar gumdrops, candy, candy canes and more, oh my!" Pinkie giggled, placing each and every delicacy on the available table for everypony to take. As she placed the last dessert on the table, Pinkie blinked in surprise as she heard the shouting of @Samurai Equine Tribly Hatter, who looked to have lost his hat. With an audible gasp, Pinkie zipped her way over towards the hat selling pony in a flash. "You lost your hat!? What does it look like? What color is it? Where was it last seen? Is it over there on that table, or is that one of my matching Hearth's Warming Hats? I was waiting to give them to my friends when everypony arrived, but I guess I left my hat there by mistake." Pinkie says, shaking Trilby's shoulders, before giggling at her realization of her hat. Taking said hat and placing it away for safe keeping, she tapped a hoof to her chin as she was deep in thought. "I wonder if we could get @Rarity to help out on this hat mystery. Rarity told me a few of her stories to myself, Twilight and the others of her escapades. Especial that one time she helped save Rainbow Dash from a Wonderbolt mystery at Wonderbolt HQ."

With a smiling squee, Pinkie giggled in delight. "You can say that again! The moment the party is in full swing, I can't help in feeling psyched for the festivities!" She exclaimed, holding her hoof out as she presented @Rarity options on activities to partake in. "If you are up for some games, we have pin the star on the Hearth's Warming Tree! There's also some karaoke and even some holiday cookies, muffins, and more to be had and enjoyed! Speaking of which, I need to get my singing on. After I get some more treats for everypony." She smiled, zipping away momentarily to prepare more cookies for the partygoers. Making a quick return, Pinkie giggled once more as she turned towards @Applejack. "I sure hope not. Otherwise, I'd worry if I was a different Pinkie Pie from the mirror pool. In which case, we might need to watch paint dry again. Then again, when a party is a go, one can never change on party fun to be had!" Pinkie hopped in place as she was super ecstatic that everypony was having a fun time, so far. "Oooooh~! By the way, are we still up for the family get together later on? I know that my parents and sisters are making their way to Ponyville later. Gives us time to prepare for the Apples and Pies Hearth's Warming Celebration!" She grinned with glee as she always looked forward to their families spending time together. As she let Applejack take the stage to sing, Pinkie hopped around, while dancing to the beat of the song. Once her friend stepped off stage, Pinkie returned the embrace without a second thought and gave a wave as Applejack made her way around the party room.

As Pinkie was bring out cupcakes and muffins to the dessert area of the main hall, she noticed Rarity, who had made a grand entrance with a stunning new dress. "Oooooooh~! Hey, Rarity! Happy Hearth's Warming, eve! That's a totally love dress! Are you super duper excited for the holidays!?" Pinkie exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear, before the stained glass swung open. Turning to the source at a break-neck pace, Pinkie was caught in both surprise and amaze as @Shiny Silvermoon had arrived at the party. As the word "party" had traveled in the air and into her ears, Pinkie gasped in excitement at the festivities. "Did someone say party!? I heard party! In which case, WOOHOO!!!!! Time to party~!" Pinkie exclaimed, pulling her trusty party cannon as the cannon fired confetti into the air. Quickly zipping away as if she teleported using a teleportation spell, Pinkie arrived behind a podium with a paper of a tree and golden stars available for other party goers to take. "Step right up, everypony! It's time for everyone's favorite game of place the Golden Star on the Hearth's Warming Tree! Don't be shy! Step right up as everypony's a winner!" Pinkie had called out, blinking as she saw Fluttershy appear briefly, before quickly leaving. As more and more party guests had arrived, Pinkie had taken notice that some were either dressing up in sweaters or elegant dresses. "Huh. I wonder if I should have brought a sweater. The only thing I thought to bring were matching Harmony Hearth's Warming hats. Speaking of which, I need to pass that out to everyone soon."

As Pinkie was in the kitchen area with mixing bowl in hoof, she hummed to iconic Hearth's Warming tunes as she began bringing the baking ingredients together. "Oooooh~! I just love Hearth's Warming! It's like a party, but it's all about the gift of giving. Along with games, friendship, fun, fun, fun, as well as more giving and giving!" She squee'd in delight as she placed her now made cookie batter onto baking trays. Setting the timer, she placed the tray into the oven, before bringing out a batch that she had already began making earlier. "Not to mention all the delicious treats one can have for the holidays. Cookies galore from chocolate chip, to gingerbread, to oatmeal and sugar cookies. Even some desserts like pies, candy cane's and pudding. I can almost taste each delectable bite!" She hummed happily as she took a bite of a spare cookie she made from the batch. Moving each uneaten cookie onto a plate for anyone to take and enjoy. Out of nowhere, Pinkie felt her Pinkie Sense activate as she felt a shivering feeling all throughout her body. No sooner than it began did it stop, while the pink party mare had looked around to even under the baking table. "Huh. I could have sworn that my Pinkie sense had gone off, but I guess it must have been my imagination." With a shrug, Pinkie placed the plate of cookies on her back as she made her way out to the main area of the party. Placing the plate upon the table, she smiled with glee at the number of party guests that had shown up. "I can't wait for the party to get started! This is going to be super duper fun!"

As the balloon touched the ground, Pinkie stepped out alongside Starlight and headed towards the others. All the while, fiddling around with the Cupcake-inator in the hopes of restoring it for future cupcake party use. At the mention of her name, Pinkie's eyes darted from the Cupcake-inator to the group, before darting from participant to participant. "It was true! My Pinkie Senses were going all haywire. From one shivery shake to a twitchy tail, to my hooves feeling all wobbly to even more shivery shakes! It was as if someone had their own kind of sense like Cheese Sandwich and his Cheesy Sense! I guess this is more of a Competition Sense of sorts as they must have prepared the race the way it did!" Pinkie exclaimed, pondering on the moment briefly, before ultimately giggling at the thought. "Nah! Although, it was rather strange for the race to turn out the way it did. I was even there with Dynamo, Dashie, Starlight and others making sure to have everything planned the way it was meant to go. Looks like a last minute change in plans is something that's always unexpected. Even though the weather tried to rain on the fun parade. I wish I could have tried to find out who was involved with trying to make the race go the way it did. Perhaps we could have made a compromise, or tried to talk things out, or maybe have a compromise party to try and have everything and all of the best to both worlds!" Pinkie says, looking down at her cupcake cannon with a proud smile. "It's a good thing that we had the Cupcake-inator when we did! If not, then it would have been a disaster of everypony trying to make their way through that crazy maze. Now I just need to take this cannon back with me to the drawing board and see if I can get it running once more!"

Upon hearing that the race was nearing it's conclusion, Pinkie gave a cheer as she launched her party cannon full of confetti sky high into the air. "Woohoo!!!! Talk about a stunning conclusion for an over the top, cupcake filled, amazing, super duper race every~!" Pinkie exclaimed, giggling as she looked over to the finish line alongside Starlight. Only to find that the finish line seems incomplete without the use of a finish line tape. "I wonder if that random shivering I felt earlier was somehow that sort of doozy I was worried about." Pinkie pondered, uncertain with all of the doozies that were transpiring throughout the race. Looking down towards the rest of the racer's, the pink party mare had watched as some of the participants were improvising on their entrance to the finish line. "Priscilla is racing alongside Samurai and Roswell, while Shiny Silvermoon is making a hop, step and a jump to the finish. Hearing her give a yippee makes me want to yell a yippee, too! In fact, YIPPEE!!!!" Pinkie exclaimed with a grin and a squee as she continued to monitor the race alongside Starlight. "In a stunning turn of events, it looks like Samurai stopped just short of the finish line and is letting Priscilla, Roswell and Moonlight to cross before him. I think that really shows good sportsmanship and a form of unity with all of the obstacles that they all made their way through this race together! Not only that, but this lets Moonlight appear in with some style! Using some of the fireworks to use as a sort of backdrop to further add onto his pose and entrance! I was wondering where I put those fireworks as I felt that was a great way to end the race." She smiled, happy to know where the missing fireworks had been and that they had gone to a great plan.

While Pinkie was eating bing the race unfold alongside Starlight, Moushley and Socrate, the pink party mare had taken a deep breath, before exhaling softly and smiling widely. “I just love the sight and smell of leaves falling in the morning. It’s not just the one swift kick from Dusk Haven, but so many others are adding their own flare! Roswell just gave a powerful kick, following it up with a very impressive acrobatic aerial maneuver! I have to give that a ten out of ten! WOOHOO!!!” Pinkie exclaimed, holding up a card with the number ten on it. After a moment, the card was plated back in the balloon basket as Pinkie jumped back into the commentary. “Even Samurai is bouncing from tree to tree in what looks like a pinball! Talk about a super, ultimate combo! Not only that, but Moonlight is jumping on the branches and shaking the leaves down, while also using his tail to shake the branches and hang upside down! A creative and effective strategy! Keep it up everypony!”

"I hear you, Starlight! I've seen my fair share of tackle hugs. A number of them were from me, after all!" Pinkie giggled, nodding in agreement as she looked down at the competitors. "However, it's reassuring to see that feelings were mended and that everypony is together again!" Pinkie grinned as she looked down to take notice of Moushley, who was brought back up to the hot air balloon with Socrate. Seeing the sorrowful expression on Moushley's face caused Pinkie to frown in worry. "Oh, please don't be sad, Moushley. I really appreciated your assistance in getting my Cupcake-inator. I think it's time we take a little bit of matters into our own hooves." Smiling at the offered strawberry lollipop, the pink party mare took the treat without hesitation. Moving over to another side of the balloon, she made the vehicle float downwards towards the other racers. More specifically, towards Moonlight as leaned over and reached out towards him. "Thank you for all of your help, everypony! It would have been against the rules to go down and grab the Cupcake-inator possibly. However, seeing everyone all working together again has gotten me super duper motivated! I think a friendship making up party is on the horizons! Until that time comes, keep up the great work, everypony! You're almost there!" Pinkie grinned with glee from eat to ear just as the balloon took to the skies once more. Event Number 7 After running through mud and water, cold and darkness, you finally reach the leafiest part of the entire forest! This is your time to knock down leaves in peace, without anything to stop you. Posts and replies in this part are worth double points! Last obstacle on October 27th.

"I'm right there with you, Starlight! My Pinkie sense was about to go off and I thought it was about to turn into a doozy." Pinkie says, feeling that sudden chill whenever a doozy was about to occur. Thankfully, it wasn't to be as the fun was set to continue. Just as Pinkie was about to take the cannon back from Moonlight, the pink party mare gasped in surprise as Moonlight was nearly tackled by Roswell, who caught up with the group! "Hold it right there, everypony! It looks like Roswell is joining in on the action and is trying to take the cupcake-inator! Not only that, but it looks like even Shiny is still involved! Jumping into the fray to block Roswell, while giving Moonlight time to escape! What an exhilarating portion of the race we've arrived at!" Pinkie grinned from ear to ear as she matched Starlight's level of enthusiasm in regards to commentating.

"With incredible speed and agility, Moonlight is trudging his way through the bog, but what's this? Moonlight is slowing down due to having to pull his legs out with each step he takes!" Pinkie gasps, watching as the party cannon was being carried by any of the participants involved. "Oooooh~! That looked like it had to hurt with that mud ball! If only they had a way to make a mud pie with the cupcake-inator! Hmmm...I must make a mental note of that. Mud pies are always pretty tasty when baked to perfection!" Pinkie responded with a giggle just as Socrate dove from the balloon basket. "Socrate just took a dive bomb down into the fray and went to help Moushley and Moonlight! All the while, Shiny used magic to help protect Moonlight from the other racer's! Looks like teams are being decided in the middle of this incredible game of cupcake-inator keep away! Awww...now I want to join in on the fun! I've always heard monkey in the middle is a fun game to play." Even with a shield, it didn't stop Dusk Haven from trying to overcome the defensive shield to try and get that cannon. "How about that, folks! From keeping her hooves from getting stuck by using magic to skate across like an ice rink, to teleporting in the shield. Dusk Haven is showing that she's going to be strong competition for the cupcake-inator! Even Moonlight looks to be psyched and accepting of a worthy challenger!" Pinkie commentated just as the shield Shiny created had begun to dissipate.

"You've got that right, Starlight! There's still plenty of racing left and it's coming down to the wire! Who will overtake the lead!? Who will win!? How many leaves will fall this Fall!? Nopony knows, but only time will tell!" Pinkie says, trying to add some suspense and dramatic effect to the commentary. "It also seems like @PrincessPriscillaPT Pricilla is debating on which way she should go. Nopony has chosen the bog yet, but now I wonder who will. I remember going through Froggy Bottom Bog once with Twilight and the others. Making sure that Fluttershy was safe after I learned a doozy was going to happen from my Pinkie Sense. I remember a bunch of us were getting slightly stuck in that bog. Thankfully, we didn't lose anything, but that would have added to the already huge doozy that had occurred with Twilight believing in my Pinkie Sense." She giggled, recalling the fun memory of them trying to escape the hydra. As Starlight kept watch of the action, Pinkie had been leaning against the corner of the balloon basket. Holding onto the Cupcake-inator Cannon, while inspecting it on how to fix the cannon. Looking over every angle possible, Pinkie blinked in surprise from a sudden gust of wind hitting their hot air balloon. Even though Starlight casted a magic spell to keep the balloon from being drenched in rain, it still didn't keep it safe from any of the winds. With the rocking of the basket back and forth, the Cupcake-inator suddenly fell out of Pinkie's grasp, before dropping down in the middle of the muddy bog below. "Noooooooooo! My Cupcake-inator Cannon! I was trying to get that working for more cupcake fun! Someone needs to try and get it back!" Pinkie exclaimed, her mane deflating slightly as she hoped her cannon would be kept safe. "Whoever gives it back to me gets bonus points!" She shouted as she prepared to bring the balloon closer to the ground. Obstacle Number 6.5 Bonus obstacle! Help Pinkie get her cupcake cannon back! The first runner who comments can grab the cannon. Afterwards, anyone can take the cannon from the previous participant by any means necessary! At a random time, Pinkie Pie will take her cannon from the participant who holds it. That one participant will get bonus points, so you always want to be the last poster in the thread. The less leaves you currently have - the higher the bonus will be!

"Ooooooh~! Sounds like Moonlight will be able to light up the competition!" Pinkie giggled, gasping from the earlier situation, before grinning at the great idea the group had discussed. "Look at that, Starlight! Priscilla managed to catch up to the others, before the rope disappeared! Once everyone can catch up and escape the forest, then we can have a search and rescue party!" She clapped her forehooves together in preparation of a future party that was in store. As she was busy planning the party, her eyes turned towards Socrate, who dropped down to the forest. "Huh. I wonder what Socrate has in mind. Sounds like he wanted to tell everyone of the party?"

"I'm knot sure if the rope will last or not, but hopefully Samurai does knot give up. They should be near the exit, but this forest looks like it's been going on endlessly and endlessly. I can't tell where the forest begins and where it ends." She blinked a few times as she couldn't make heads or tails of this particular part of the forest. Shaking her head vigorously, she looks back to Starlight as she giggled at the realization of her puns. "I know that might not be the best puns or the perfect time for a pun. However, one can use a pun to try and dissolve a potential bad situation. Puns are always so...punny!" Pinkie closed her eyes with a smile. Giggling at the number of puns she made, while remembering that she she was a pony who definitely loved puns. Opening up her eyes, she looked over at Moonlight, who Starlight had mentioned of the path he was heading towards. "You're right! The further and further he goes on, the more, and more, and more he meets many, many, many, and many more mushrooms!" She exclaimed, before taking note of Moonlight stopping in place. Pinkie used her binoculars to try and see what exactly Moonlight had stopped in front of. Only to take notice of a pony, who was wearing a mushroom cap on his head. "Whoa! I didn't expect to see another pony in this forest. With that mushroom cap, where's a plumber with a red cap when you need one." She winked to nobody in particular, but was surprised to see the pony had allowed Moonlight to pass. "Well would you take a look at that! Whoever this pony is, they're letting Moonlight to continue on ahead! He's even right underneath our balloon almost!" Pinkie grinned, waving at Moonlight as she was happy to see a familiar face back on the path.

At the mention of saying her words again, Pinkie had happily obliged. "Oooooh~! In that case, ”Wowee @Starlight Glimmer! You heard that? The Cupcake-inator may be empty, but the excitement sure isn’t! Just when you think this race can’t get any more chaotic, BAM! @Shiny Silvermoon Shiny drops the good-bad news! That’s right this challenge will make the runner choose rather to go forward buuuut.. on the other hooves you can’t see anything!" She giggled, taking notice of Starlight, who had mentioned about the cupcake frosting on her cheek. Using her tongue to lick the spot of frosting away, she grinned as she hummed in delight of the tasty frosting treat. Seeing that Shiny was possibly down for the count, Pinkie closed her eyes as she shared the same worry as her fellow commentator. "It sounded as if Shiny had some advice she wanted to share. Something about Moonlight taking the lead, but I'm not entirely sure why. Unless this could help with the race, but I guess only time will tell!" As Samurai headed back for Shiny, Pinkie gasped, while her eyes grew to the size of dinner plates. "Hold the phone, fillies and gentlecolts! It looks like Samurai had gone back to make sure that Shiny was safe! Even picking her up and carrying her on his back, while the two make it back to the group! Just like in the superhero cartoons!" Pinkie exclaimed with glee, clapping her front hooves together as if she was watching the old masked hero show live. With Moushley and Socrates arriving in their hot air balloon, Pinkie smiled as she welcomed the duo aboard. "Well, hello there! Would our lovely couple like to stay with us and add into the commentary?"

Pinkie leaned dramatically over the balloon basket, microphone in hoof, frosting smudged on her cheek. ”Wowee @Starlight Glimmer! You heard that? The Cupcake-inator may be empty, but the excitement sure isn’t! Just when you think this race can’t get any more chaotic, BAM! @Shiny Silvermoon Shiny drops the good-bad news! That’s right this challenge will make the runner choose rather to go forward buuuut.. on the other hooves you can’t see anything!” She squirted down at the dark forest below, eyes wide and sparkling. “But Shiny got some few fellow racers to join hooves like a big friend centipede! It’s like a scary movie and a trust exercise all in one! I’d totally sign up for that retreat, as long as they serve snacks!” ”Oh lookie here Starlight!! @Samurai Equine use the berries he has saved from the last challenge and got himself a rope! Look at him go, folks! The super stallion basically becomes a living GPS!” ‘Recalculating route-please grab the rope and proceed with caution.” She said, lowering her voice in an impression of a monotone navigation voice before bursting into giggles. @PrincessPriscillaPT “And Priscilla decided to join Samurai!!” Her gaze darted to another corner of the chaos. “Hi Mousehely! pinkie waved back to the little mouse below, nearly dropping her mic. Pinkie then turned her cannon around with pride, only for a hollow clink to echo inside. She peered in, frowning. “Oh. Right. No cupcakes. No frosting. No Sprinkle.” Pinkie turned to Starlight with a wink. “next time I will invent the super deluxe cupcake-inator over 9000!”

Pinkie gasped into her mic, eyes darting between the forest below and the skies ahead like she was watching the biggest, tastiest game of the year. ”Oooh Starlight, would ya look at that! Mouseley’s back and squeaking up a storm! Awww, look at her, she’s sooo adorable! And wait, did she eat that entire hunk of cheese in one bite?! That’s gonna be a new record! She cheered, bouncing in the balloon basket. She aimed her microphone toward the forest, grinning ear to ear. ”And down there, @TheRockARockster Roswell’s literary on fire! Like whoa look at that Fire eyes, yeah!!” Pinkie hollered, mimicking his dramatic shout. “Ten outta Ten for enthusiasm and self breading! Though, maybe next time keep a bucket of frosting handy, just in things get too spicy!” Her gaze zipped over to another part of the course. “ @Dusk Haven, meanwhile, has gone mini-mode! Teeny-tiny Dusk darting through the vines-like zip!zap!whoosh! The smallest, bravest little blur in the forest! Ohhh I jut love an underdog moment or-uh…underpony? Under mouse? Either way she’s totally rocking it!” pinkie giggles and gave her cupcake cannon a loving pat. “And thanks to the Cupcake-inator 3000, everypony’s following the frosting highway back to the course safe and sound! Cupcakes, teamwork, transformation, cheesy happiness, this race has everything!” She leaned close to Starlight with a grin. “I tell ya Starlight, if this keeps up c we might just need a Cupcake-inator Deluxe! With double frosting capacity and marshmallow boosters!!” Suddenly, the cannon sputtered. A weak poof sent a single, sad cupcake tumbling out and landing on Pinkie’s hoof. “oh… heh. Scratch that, starlight, I think we’re officially outta cupcake.” She held up the empty barrel with a sheepish smile. ”well.. that the frosting finale, folks! Cupcake-inator’s outta armor, don’t worry the party spirit never runs out!” She said striking a dramatic pose as the mic squeaked with feedback. ”Back to you Starlight!”

Pinkie gaze darted back and down to the runners, her mane bobbing as she spoke rapid-fire into the mic. “Indeed these transformed runners is more than meets the eyes!! Moonlight’s all splashy and sloshy like a walking paddle! Samurai’s gone full slice-and-dice mode! It does bring back some great memories about five colorful masked fighters that we used to watch as a kid am I right Starlight?!” “Indeed! That boomerang’s slicing through those vines faster than me through a sweet buffet! Dusk’s helping everypony regroup, like a magical rescue squad with snacks and cupcakes!” Then Pinkie spotted @Iridescent Edge and her jaw dropped just as Starlight pointed at him. “Iridescent’s new super-sparkly mega horn does look amazing! Buuuuut- ooof, look like It’s a teensy bit too heavy! Poor guy’s trying to lift his head like he’s doing neck-day at the gym!” She said, wincing comically and miming lift with her forehooves. She leaned closer to Starlight. ”Maybe I should shoot him a cupcake for motivation! You know carb power! Build strength!”
