Pinkie Pie

Perking her ears at the mention of her name, the super duper party planning pony had looked over towards @Dynamo Pad. The one who had extended his hoof towards her to join him up on stage. "It's just like planning for a party! Got to discuss all of the details and then we can truly begin to party! Plus, he makes a valid point that in any and all competitions, performances or parties. The show must go on!" She exclaimed, bouncing with each step she took as she made her way back onto the stage. "What do you have in mine, my dear cohost?" Leaning over to lend him an ear, she hummed in thought to the plan. Widening her eyes slightly, before narrowing her eyebrows, before humming once more with a nod. The pink party mare smirked playfully as she listened more and more with Dynamo's idea. "Hmmm...oooooh~! Oh, I like that idea. That sounds perfect." Some of the audience members began to notice that every word she spoke could be picked up by the stray microphone that was near her hooves. Leaving everyone to ponder and question what the duo had in mind. Once the discussion was complete, Pinkie picked up the microphone with her tail as she mad her way towards center stage. Tossing the microphone with a flick of her tail, she managed to catch it in her mane, before tossing said microphone into her hoof. "Alright, fillies and gentlecolts! The moment that you've all been waiting for! I think it's time that we announce the winners of this year's Big Goof Off!" She announced, pausing for a bit of dramatic effect, while smiling proudly with her choice of wording. "That's right! I said winners, but for why I said that, then all shall be revealed! I think that since everyone did an amazing job in this year's Goof Off. I think that it's only fair that it's not only difficult to judge, but Dynamo, myself and I can tell that everyone in the crowd had gotten a real kick out of each performance. With that, I think it's only fitting that everyone should share in the victory! Also, not to worry on the trophies as I had multiple trophies stashed away! In case of trophy emergencies!" She winked, extending her hoof to show that there were indeed multiple trophies for everyone that participated could take.

Once the effects of the poison joke had been lifted, Pinkie blinked as she felt that something had changed about her. Opening up her mouth, she made noises that ranged from singing to making silly sounds. All in the hopes that her voice was back and no emoji's had emerged. "Yay~! I'm finally able to speak again! I remember when my tongue was not normal the first time I had been affected by poison joke, or even the time when Trixie erased my mouth away. Even if I've gone through this a third time, I've realized how horrible it is not being able to talk! I mean, I love talking so much, but when I could only speak emoji's, I was all emoji this and emoji that. It was super cool at first, but it felt like the worst, but thankfully it's all over now! Everything is all back to normal!" Pinkie says, closing her eyes with a giant grin. However, she was forced to eat her words like chocolate slices of cake as she had soon noticed Shiny, who was not fully back to normal. "Okay, everypony! Remember to follow my lead!" The party mare announced, before screaming in a panic and started heading for the hills. She had taken cover, while trying to take into account on who was still in the crowd. Hoping to make sure that everyone was safe and sound, before noticing other giant stuffed animals were helping keeping everyone safe. At the same time, they were trying to stand against the transformed Shiny. "Oooooh~! Would this mean that we're going to have a slumber party later? Looks like there's enough plush-like friends for a plush pillow fight!" She clapped her front hooves together in glee as she was hoping to prepare a slumber party. Taking notice of the buckets of water and the vials that were in the stuffed animals paws, Pinkie had also seen Discord and Dynamo. The both of whom were trying to stand against Shiny as everyone tried to give what looked like a cure for the transformed unicorn. "It looks like desperate times call for desperate measures. Time for a surprise attack!" With a battle cry, Pinkie rushed out of hiding as she launched cupcake after cupcake upon the transformed unicorn. When things were not going in the group's favor, Pinkie felt her tail beginning to twitch. "There's only one answer as to why my tail is a twitch a twitching. Something's going to fall from the sky!" She says, her answer soon appearing in the form of a polar bear. The very same polar bear that Shiny and Croissanto had mentioned in their performance of the Goof Off. "It's the bear! Oh, I never thought I'd see him again. I think there was a bear on my trip to YakYakistan. Unless it was a different creature that I had seen. At any rate, it's so great to finally see the Polar Bear!" She smiled, as the cure was administered and Shiny was soon transformed back to normal. As the bright light shined and soon dimmed, Pinkie had taken everything in to see that all was right again. Everything felt silent, at first, before the pink party mare suddenly cheered. "WOOHOO!!!! That was one of the best performances I have ever seen! I mean, everypony did an amazing, spectacular, over the top, stupendous job! If this was one way to close this Goof Off as a grand finale, then that was an amazing job! I think we might need an encore!"

With Dynamo tripping over his hooves and crashing into the wall, Pinkie closed her eyes to avoid watching the impact. Opening them once more, she winced as Dynamo was in a complete daze on the ground. " " She tried to say, but more emoji's still had been unleashed. 'Oooooh! That looked painful. I guess that's what happens when you have two left hooves, or I guess four left hooves." She giggled, but only the emoji had escaped from her. 'I wish I could speak again, so that everypony could understand me, buuuuuut...I have to admit that talking in emoji faces is so much fun! All the faces that I can make! What I can talk to everypony about, but then everyone has to guess what I'm saying. I'll become the best charade's player, ever~!' She thought as she looked to the stage to see Shiny had taken on a different appearance. With her Pinkie senses going off that caused her to shiver slightly, the pink party pony knew that a doozy was taking place. "!!!!!" Was all that could be said. 'Everypony, don't panic! RUN!!!!!' She thought in her mind as she rushed around the area. All the while, bouncing like a pinball, before stopping in place to look at the panicking crowd. 'Anypony else want to scream and panic with me? No? Okay!' She stopped, trying to speak more emoji's before more screaming emoji's appeared. She tried to take cover, while also trying to get more water, treats and desserts to put a stop to Shiny. However, it looked as if Trilby and Emerald were able to immobilize the transformed unicorn. "" Pinkie responded, but looked around in thought. 'Phew! Looks like we're okay for now, but I wonder where Discord went off to. He sure left in a hurry, but it looked like everypony is looking for him. I wonder if he'll bring back the Smooze. I sure hope he does as that would get this Big Goof Off back up and running! That, and the Smooze sure knows how to PARTY!!!!' She grinned, before looking over to see a number of ponies were looking a little under the weather. She wondered if she could get her musical instruments to try and cheer everypony up.

Upon firing the party cannon, everything seemed to have flown in slow motion. The audience members looked terrified with a giant party cannon looking ready to be fired at them. Pinkie looked to have a giant grin on her face as she looked to have been floating. The giant swathes of deep blue colored cake batter flying out of the cannon. The slow motion feeling soon dissipated as the area was becoming more and more filled with a deep, dark, blue sea of cake. "WOOHOO!!!! Mission accomplished! Now that's what I truly call a grand finale." She giggled, marveling at her work as there were audience members, who were recovering from the cake being fired at them. All the while, others were enjoying eating some of the cake. Upon @Dynamo Pad's remark, Pinkie had given the blue unicorn a nod. "That's right! You and I collected some of the ingredients of this cake. Although, some of the ingredients were a little confusing with some of the paper having scribbles on it. I also remember that there were big bold letters mentioning us with, "DO NOT EAT THE CAKE UNTIL IT'S SHOWTIME!!!" When she heard @Discord had mentioned for everyone to feast, the pink party mare looked at the sea of cake and audience. She then looked back at Discord, before looking back at the audience. With a shrug of her shoulders and her face forming a small smile, the pink party pony couldn't resist. "Well, as the old saying goes. When in Rome, let them eat cake!" Just before she dived, she pulled a plastic straw from out of her mane. "Can't go into a battle of cake without you, Fernando." She cradled the straw with a caring expression, before breaking out into a run. As she dove off the stage, she disappeared within the dark, blue cake confection. The only thing that could be seen that would show it was Pinkie Pie, was the straw, Fernando, sticking up out of the cake batter. Using the straw as a snorkel, Pinkie maneuvered around the audience members, while eating the cake confection along the way. Eventually, she managed to pop up next to @Samurai Equine Trilby Hatter and @Shiny Silvermoon. As she ate the cake she had consumed, she hummed in delight at how delicious the dessert was. "Mmmm...this is some good cake. I need to save that recipe in the future." She says, turning towards Trilby and giving his shoulder a comforting pat. "It's okay, Trilby. All we need to do is eat the cake and some of your hat-making supplies will appear. It's sort of like find the needle in the haystack, but " Whatever she tried to say next, no words had appeared. Instead, what appeared from her mouth were on emoji after another. 'Huh? What was this? That's a bit odd. That wasn't what I was going to say. I was going to say that we could eat the cake too and then I laughed, but my words weren't this.' She thought, before testing this out again. "" She tried different noises or words, but all that appeared were the emoji's. "" With realization setting in, the pink party mare gasped as she zipped and zagged around the audience members, while trying to wipe away the cake contents off of her tongue. 'I've lost my voice! My voice has been replaced by emoji's. Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!' She thought as she tried to find a way to get her voice back.

Pinkie grinned as Trilby was able to recover his hat, before gasping at the hat salespony’s declaration of making said hat. Watching diligently as @Samurai Equine Tilly’s hat making supplies were teleported to him via his magic. The pink party mare got to see the unicorn’s designer skills at work, Pinkie was in awe at the end result of said hat. “Oooooooh~! Now that’s what I call a fancy looking hat.” Pinkie smiled, while making a mental note of Trilby’s business. “You may have found two new customers! I’ll keep this place in mind for when I want to order those custom party hats.” With the help of @Discord, Pinkie grinned in glee as the Big Bertha party cannon had appeared. Hopping over towards it, the pink party pony pulled the giant party cannon into a big. “It’s so good to see you again, Bertha! I thought I lost you after hiding you and numerous party cannons across Ponyville. I’ve got to say, you’re one amazing hide and seek player.” She giggled, before the cannon began to become bigger as it aimed at the audience. Holding onto the rope, Pinkie waited with baited breat on Discord’s signal. She had to admit that she wanted to launch the party cannon without hesitation, but she knew the wait would be worth it. The wait didn’t last long as Discord had given her the green light to begin. “Now it’s time for the grand finale!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!” She exclaimed, pulling the rope to cause the Big Bertha party cannon to fire at the audience. What Discord added, she didn’t know, but she knew this would be a finale that nopony would forget anytime soon.

Turning her attention over towards Tribly, she walked over towards him, before patting his shoulder. “It’ll be okay! I think you’ll get your hat back very soon.” She reassured the hat salepony, before a sudden thought caused her to gasp with a grin. “Oooooooh~! What if Discord wearing your hat could be a way to promote your work? He could have a way to transform it into multiple hats. That way, you get a lot more hats to change into whatever party you’re trying to host. I know I’d be buying three, no, maybe 5 of those hats.” She clapped her front hooves together as the thought of transforming party hats filled her party planning mind with glee. Pinkie smirked playfully as her response caused the draconequus to falter slightly. It was just like in the games, but she knew it wasn’t over just yet. Suddeyband without warning, she felt herself floating in place thanks to Discord’s levitation. “Ooooooh~! Floaty!” She giggled once more, before shaking her head at Discord’s response. “That’s a silly thing to say as too many questions are never enough questions. Like, what am I having for breakfast today? Balloons or no balloons, party hats, or fancy party hats. Oh! Maybe…” Pinkie was unable to finish her thought as Discord’s levitation ceased. Causing the pink party mare to fall back onto the stage. Shaking her head quickly to regather her bearings, she frowned slightly, while staring up at Discord. “Heeeeeeeey. Why did you do that? The floating was fun! Just like when I floated around town, while wearing balloons, before learning from Twilight about a potential disaster that was never going to happen.” The frown immediately vanished as she gasped with a grin upon mentioning of needing Discord’s help. “You’ve got it, Discord! It’s time to turn this Goof Off into an party of epic proportions!” While she was saddened at the fact that she wouldn’t be the volunteer, she was still in glee at the idea of helping out with her Big Bertha party cannon.

Without any notice or warning, Pinkie soon found herself being launched into the air with @Dynamo Pad. "Woah! Yippee!!!! Looks like the stage was a fun bounce house!" Pinkie giggled as pulled herself into a ball, before looking like a pink pinball. Bouncing as if a basketball was being dribbled, before the bounce slowly came to a stop. Un-morphing out of the ball with some electric sound effects, the pink pony marveled at the giant mallet. "Nice mallet, @Discord! Wherever did you get it? Is it new!? Can I borrow it!?" She asked rapid-fire, before a sudden thought occurred to her. "Wait a minute. OBJECTION!? I see to your objection and raise you with one of my own!" She exclaimed, taking a deep breath, before the pink party pony pointed at the draconequus. "OBJECTION!!" She exclaimed once more, red words appearing above her to emphasize her claim. "I've always wanted to do that. If we have to have a giant mallet, then of course we need my Big Bertha party cannon. Now that thing will send you sky high. Potentially to the moon, but that's still a work in progress." Pinkie giggled as Discord had mentioned that he wanted to take part. "Oooooh~! It's never too late to enter! Got to add a bit of chaos to a party. Am I right?" Pinkie gave a smile, gasping at the mention of a volunteer. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!" The pink mare waved her arm as if in a flailing motion, while trying to get Discord's attention. "I'd love to be a volunteer. Seeing everypony's performances, so far? It all looks super duper fun! That, and I've wanted to be able to take part in a performance at some point during this Goof Off! No better time than the present!" Pinkie smiled, waltzing up to Discord as she prepared for whatever the draconequus had in mind.

With Trilby taking the stage and Dynamo taking on any names for the Goof Off, Pinkie was feeling ecstatic at what the hat salespony had in mind. "I don't think we've had a halftime show before. This could very well be the first and best halftime performance of any Goof Off ever~!" Pinkie grinned in glee, before watching as Trilby had teleported more stallions onto the stage. "A group performance!? Even better! I wonder if they need instruments. Thank Celestia I got a number of those when I had to take care of that parasprite invasion." She giggled as she recalled the memory, before watching as the group broke out into a doo-wop performance. "Ooooooh~! Now this is my jam!" Pinkie hopped around in place as she broke out into a dance. She felt that her dancing was in the zone as the song was music to her ears. She had momentarily stopped dancing as Dynamo had made his way over towards her, offering his hoof to her in a dance. "I thought you'd never ask!" She grinned, accepting his hoof as she spun him around. Only for the two of them to dance together on stage, while the audience members began to slowly join in on the dance along with them. As Pinkie was enjoying the fun dancing, she had stopped as she too had heard the sound of someone slammed into cake batter. Looking to the source, she had seen that @Samurai Equine Trilby had been the one to land headfirst into the cake batter that was on stage. "Huh. I thought all the cake batter that I jumped out of had landed outside of the stage. I guess I must have missed a piece or two of batter, but I was going to save that cake for later. Oh, well." She giggled, applauding Trilby's song, slip and sliding to the cake to finish the halftime show. "Woohoo!!! Bravo! Encore! Encore! Bravo!" She applauded as Trilby had taken his leave of the stage. "I hope we get to see many more halftime performances in every and all future Goof Off's! That was so super duper fun! At any rate, the time has come to see if anyone else wants to step into the ring in this year's Goof Off!"

As @Emerald Heart Emerald took the stage, Pinkie Pie hopped off stage in order to get a good spot to enjoy the performance. "I've got to say that this year's Goof Off has been a blast! There's been weights that have dropped, cake being launched, standup comedy and so much more! This easily takes the cake for best Goof Off Ever~! Oh, I can't wait to see what Emerald has for us." She grinned eagerly as the lavender mare took the microphone. As she listened to Emerald mention that she wasn't a comedian, Pinkie blinked in confusion. "Not a comedian, or is that way to say that they are a comedian, but then not a comedian, but then secretly a super comedian?" She whispered to herself, while only the crowd around her could hear. "Oooooh~! I did notice that! Her mane looks really bright and fluffy!" She exclaimed, looking around as she noticed the friends that Emerald had been talking about. It was always heartwarming to see the support from friends supporting a friend. Gasping in surprise at Emerald's final comment, a moment of realization dawned upon Pinkie. "You're right! I knew something seemed off about the hay sandwiches! I always thought to add some ketchup, mustard and other condiments, but mostly to get back that delicious flavor. Sounds like we need to find that old recipe." Pinkie responded, knowing now she had a goal in sight. However, that goal would have to wait as she gave a round of applause alongside the crowd at Emerald's performance. "Let's give it up for Emerald Heart, everypony!" She exclaimed, hopping back onto the stage as Emerald gave her bow, before taking her exit. As she was about to ask if anypony else wanted to take part in the Goof Off, she looked over to @Dynamo Pad Dynamo, who had previously exited the cake batter she and him had hidden in. All for a lightbulb to appear above her that lit up as an idea took form. With a dash, she had appeared by him in a flash, while wearing an ecstatic grin on her face. "Dynamo! I just had the best idea!" She exclaimed, before whispering to the gaming unicorn. Taking glances at Trilby from time to time, before turning back towards Dynamo. "Soooooo~? What do you think?" She asks with a sly smile.

As Cimex arrived on stage, Pinkie bounced on her hooves in excitement as to what the next performance would be like. "Ooooh~! I hope for songs, or dancing, or funny shenanigans. Maybe some more jokes. Oh! Maybe..." She stopped as Ellery made their way onto the stage to deliver what looked like a message. Suddenly and without warning, the party pony's tail started to twitch sporadically, signaling her Pinkie Sense. "Uh oh. A twitchy tail can only mean." She didn't have time to think as she quickly grabbed Dynamo and rushed off stage in a blur. As she zigged, zagged and slid into a giant pile of cake batter to protect her and the gaming unicorn. "Take cover, everypony!" Her voice was muffled by the cake batter, but the message was loud and clear as a giant weight had dropped onto the stage. Poking her eyes through the cake batter, Pinkie looked around to see that others had either backed away, did the same strategy she did or ran for the hills. Poking her head up from the batter, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Whew! That was close. I guess whoever dropped the weight couldn't weight for the performance to start." She giggled, before feeling her tail twitch once more, while her body began to shake and shiver. "Uh oh. Looks like we got ourselves a huge doozy coming on." She ducked back down into the batter as another thirty pound weight had dropped onto the stage. Just as soon as the weight had landed on stage, so too did her Pinkie sense cease. Looking up once more, Pinkie was glad to see that Cimex was safe from harm. Just as the performance was about to get back on track, another guest had stepped up on stage to deliver another message. Blinking in surprise from the outburst, it looked like Cimex had to postpone the peformace due to a traffic delay. "I hope it's not that traffic of sheep. I can't begin to tell anypony how horrible it was to get to YakYakitstan that one time." Ducking back down, Pinkie shook the batter off of her and Dynamo, while getting a bit of a treat from said cake batter. With a hum in delight, the party pony had placed a hoof upon her chin in thought. Contemplating on an idea of what to do next, before making a snap of her same hoof with an idea coming to mind. Leaping onto the stage, Pinkie took the spare microphone as she got the crowd's attention. "No need to panic, everypony! Unless we should all scream and panic, then that sounds like fun! At any rate, it looks like that was a part of @ChrysalisM's performance! Although, it looks like there seems to be a delay, so we'll save their performance for later." Giving thanks to the changeling's help on fixing the stage, Pinkie used her tail to grab the weights as she walked them backstage. Looking back at the list of names, it looked as if everyone had already gone. Humming in thought, Pinkie smiled as she would improvise. @Emerald Heart Taking notice of a purple earth pony mare with a pink and cyan mane, a pink tail and green eyes, Pinkie pointed to her in the audience. "Hello~! We're looking for anypony that would like to come on stage and show what they've got. Bringing their 'A' Game and have fun and share in the laughter. Would you like to give it a try? Would anypony also like to give it a go?" For those that would come up on stage, she and Dynamo would make sure to have them form a line so that everypony would get their turn to shine.

"If that was something I'd see at an art auction, then I'd make sure to outbid anyone for that." Pinkie giggled with a wink as she awaited the arrival of the next participants. With @ComanderZhabikKlavik Anarchylight and Commander Zhabik Klavik taking the stage, Pinkie's eyes wideneed as a table and chair spawned in out of nowhere. "Has someone else learned of my trade secret?" Pinkie gasped in both surprise and awe as the stage changed to an office setting. Upon hearing that jokes were to be told, Pinkie slowly disappeared behind the curtain. Only to end up slowly rising out from the crowd to sitting on a chair that was out of nowhere. "It looks like we got some more jokes to be told. So, go right ahead, you two! Hit me with your best shot~! Fire away~!" She responded in a sing song-like tone. As she listened to the joke, Pinkie's mind raced as she recalled a particular duck. "I still hope that he got the grapes he wanted when he went to his lemonade stand." She whispered to herself with a giggle. As she listened to the end of the first joke, Pinkie giggled as she she got the joke immediately. "How does the duck not know how talented he is? The circus would love a duck like that. He's such a quack up." She wiped a tear from her eye as she laughed at her pun, before the next joke began. "Awww! That's so sweet and cool! You'd think that the semi truck driver owned a part of the zoo. I hope he and those penguins had a great time visiting the zoo." She giggled, catching her breath as the next joke followed up from the previous. "Oooooh~! I see what he did there in the third joke! Very clever! Even the dog is a funny play on words. Yay for puns~!" Pinkie's giggles felt infectious as more and more of the crowd got into the puns and jokes from the duo. Once the duo's performance was complete, Pinkie cheered as loudly as she could, before hopping with a pep in her step back onto the stage. "What did you think of that folks? Looks like Anarchylight and Commander Zhabik gave us a rapid flurry of jokes left and right. I'm left in stitches from each joke they had. I also need to learn of your trade secret. It sounds like you and I have the same ideas in mind and I think we could set up an amazing party together." She responded to the two, before turning back towards the crowd. "Let's give them another round of applause!" She cheered as she applauded the retreating duo. "Up next we have another duo, or from what I've heard, an incredible team. Please put your hooves together for @ChrysalisM Cimex, Ellery Quinn and The Official Unofficial Equestrian Commedia Company!" She announced, hopping back stage behind the curtain in preparation for the next group.

As she continues to stare on in anticipation, she took a deep breath. Almost causing her head to swell up like a balloon. Letting out her breath with a gasp, she watched as @Wizard Titanium had turned the canvas away from the audience. “Awwww! I like surprises, but the suspense is getting to me! I hope it lasts!” She giggled, just as the finishing touches were put into place. As the paining was complete, the pink mare’s jaw dropped at the Titanium’s creation. From her style of work, she admired Titanium’s creativity, but seeing @Nitobit the value bar pony’s picture was quite a surprise. ‘Oh, no he’s hot!’ She thought to herself, while trying to keep her composure together. As Titanium gave her finished art to her muse, the party mare gave a roaring round of applause. “WOOHOO!!! Bravo! BRAVO!!! Encore! Encore!! ENCORE!!!” She exclaimed, hopping back on stage as the two gave their bows. Let’s give it up to our two lovely contestants, Titanium and her muse, that charmer, you.” She slyly grinned as she poked her elbow at his arm in admiration. Shaking her head, she smiled as she knew the shoe must go on. “And with that, two acts performances have been completed, but we still have more to go! Next in our list another duo that I know you’ll love to meet! Please put your hooves together for the dynamic duo of @ComanderZhabikKlavik Anarchylight and Commander Zhabik Klavik!!” She announced, heading backstage as the next act would take center stage.

Craning her neck behind her backstage, the party mare had noticed @Dah Onion Eater Saturn, who had made her way out of the costumes. All the while looking like a clown from the circus. "Oooooh~! It looks like the circus is back in town! About time too! I was hoping I could be their cannonball pony! I've been perfecting Big Bertha's cannon launch for so many moons!" Pinkie grinned in excitement, while pulling her cannon helmet out of her mane. "If you are taking part in the Goof Off, then be sure to write your name down! You can also make sure to talk to Dynamo, who I think somepony brought him back into the crowd. Just don't forget that while normal Goof Off's are all about everypony joining in the Frey of laughter and randomness. This competition is all about everypony taking their turn one at a time. This way, anything left from their acts could potentially be used and it gives everyone a chance to catch their breath from laughing. Can't have too much of a good thing such as laughter, or could we?" Pinkie pondered on the idea, before shaking her head to consider for later. It looks like somepony else is up next, but no need to worry yourself. I know that you time will come and then your time to show what you've got will present itself!" Pinkie grinned, patting Saturn on the head, before turning in back to the next performance. Once @Wizard Titanium made it onto the stage, Pinkie clapped her hooves to herself backstage. Feeling ecstatic and curious on what the next contestant had in store for both her and the audience. From the looks of things, it sounded like painting as a performance would be taking place. "A picture always tells a thousand words. That, and a thousand emotions!" Pinkie announced backstage, but it looked like nopony could see where she was. "It even looks like a guest will be assisting Titanium in her performance! Asking for help in the audience is always allowed. If the audience member being selected is okay with being chosen, of course. A truly powerful honor in the name of Goof Off's!" As the bat pony was making his way towards the stage, Pinkie couldn't help in giggling at the blue bat pony's remark. "Wellll...technically, it wasn't me that fired the party cannon. I did give Dynamo the use to fire confetti, but we both agreed that cake batter would be better. It's much more of a surprise and everypony can eat it too! So, I guess I did have a hoof involvement in this. So, while I commend you and your tricky dodging skills to evade even the most deliciousness of cakes! I shall not be the same next time, my cake rival!" Pinkie declared as the blue bat pony had made his way onto the stage. With a canvas on stage, a stool, paint and two ponies on stage, it looked like an art performance was to be had. "Oooooh~! I just love being able to paint my ideas! Especially that one time I painted a banner of Rainbow Dash for her birthaversary!" She grinned to herself, recalling that memory of when she also met Cheese Sandwich. Upon hearing that no brushes were to be used, Pinkie eyed the stage curiously at what Titanium had in mind. With a loud gasp, she couldn't help in zipping past the duo and dove into the crowd. "We have ourselves a rare sight to be seen, fillies and gentlecolts! Titanium is becoming one with the brush by becoming the art brush! We're in for a big art treat!" She grinned, watching as her assistant had dropped the banana to strike up a pose. One that the party mare herself had to admit that was pretty cool. As the art show began, Pinkie watched intently as she was told not to blink. From different items being thrown, to different shapes being drawn. At one point, Pinkie almost blinked as she noticed Boneless had been added into the art. "Wait, Boneless!? How did you get up there? If you wanted to be in the show, then you should have asked. Also, did Boneless just lay a couple of eggs? I thought Bonless couldn't lay an egg." She pondered, trying her best not to blink as she grinned at Titanium's giggle-fit. From the nervousness previously, it looked like Titanium was getting into the spirit of things and having fun. @Nitobit Moonlight, meanwhile, looked more visibly blue. "It looks like this blue bat pony is waiting with baited breath as he's as still as a statue in wait of this drawing. How will this drawing turn out!? Tune in to find out!" She responded, while trying to sound dramatic. All before giggling as she was having so much fun.

As Shiny and Croissanto took the stage, Pinkie made sure to keep an eye on both the participant and the crowd. Sure, she was a host alongside Dynamo in the Goof Off, but she was someone that couldn't resist in watching the fun. It wasn't until she heard her sister's name, that Pinkie gave a loud, audible gasp. "MAUD!?" Was her only response as the party pony, who was backstage, was gone in an instant. The next moment, the crowd could see her center stage with a bag of popcorn in hoof. "Oh! I just love it when I listen to Maud's puns at comedy night!" Pinkie grinned, snickering and giggling up a storm from pun after pun. "So many rock puns. It's puns like that I know Maud would be truly proud of. She'd be rocking and rolling with pride." Pinkie giggled once more, getting into the numerous puns. Her popcorn flying out of the bucket container she held on hoof from her constant laughing. "Ooooooh~! A bearpolar! I wonder if it's that same bear I met when I was exploring North to Yakyakistan! Sounds like he would make for an interesting friend. Probably the life of the party!" She grinned, clapping her hooves together as the performance had come to a close. She was about to take a bit of her popcorn, but noticed that her popcorn bucket was empty. "Awwww. I guess that means I have to get more popcorn, but first!" She zipped up onto the stage as @Shiny Silvermoon Shiny and Croissanto had made their exit. "Give it up for Shiny and Croissanto, everypony! Weren't those two just a riot!? My sides still hurt from their nonstop puns! Wasn't that just funny, or should I say punny?" She giggled with a wink, before catching the clipboard as it fell out of her mane. "We already have a strong start and we still have many more contestants to go! So, let's not waste any time as we welcome our next contestant, @Wizard Titanium!" She and the crowd joined in a round of applause as Pinkie rushed to get more popcorn, before making her way backstage.

As the announcement had been made, a giant cake had slowly been rolled from back stage to the center of the stage. At first, nothing had been happening. That was until the name 'Pinkie Pie' had been uttered, as well as the multiple nicknames that the pink party planning pony had been known for. The cake had begun to move, almost as if it was going to explode. Before anyone could react of question it, the cake had exploded. More and more frosting had been rained onto the crowd. Out from the cake, a pink earth pony, covered in frosting had made her appearance known. "Helloooooo, everypony~! It's your host Pinkie Pie, welcoming you all to this year's Big Goof off!" She exclaimed, hopping all over the place as she was super excited to be hosting this event. "I want to give a big shout out to Dynamo Pad for the idea to launch some delicious cake frosting to the crowd. Since I'd be in the cake, I needed some assistance getting started. Now a Big Goof Off like this would probably need my giant party cannon, Big Bertha! Although, I think we can have more exciting moments to come! I guess jumping out of the cake is one way to take the cake" She giggled and snorted at her little pun, before directing her attention towards the crowd. "Now, then. I know what you may be thinking that Goof Off's are serious business. I can guarantee you that this Goof Off will be the most, incredible, amazing, super spectacular Goof Off in Equestrian history! I'm talking laughs, randomness, silliness, fun, fun fun fun and more fun to be had! Did I mention fun!? Because I most certainly heard fun!" Pinkie grinned, while Dynamo had levitated her the list of participants that were taking part in the competition. "We have some amazing participants this year and I think we should let some of them take the stage to show you what laughs and fun they have in store for us all. Let's put our hooves together as we welcome our first contestant and her croissant companion. @Shiny Silvermoon Shiny Silvermoon and Croissanto!!!" She announced, joining Dynamo backstage as she hopped away. Allowing the first contestant to take center stage.
