Puh-leeeez put your hooves together for your next performer,
Maud Pie!
What do you call an Alicorn with no wings and no horn?
Earth pony.
But seriously, being an Earth pony isn't so bad.
We've got magic powers, too.
Like walking around.
And picking stuff up with our teeth.
That's sarcasm, by the way.
That's funny, 'cause it's true!
My favorite thing to listen to is clastic rock
the accumulation of sediments over a millennia
forming to create sandstone, shale, and breccia.
It sounds something like this.
And that's my time.
Isn't my sister, Maud, the most hilarious,
entertaining, amazing comedian ever?
Your jokes, your hilarious delivery,
your... your everything!
How was my... timing?
You got me!
C'mon, let's celebrate sister-style.
We can get matching stickers that says "Eyes on the Pies",
then show them off at the Ponyville Sticker Convention
that I could plan for tomorrow if you want.
Actually, I'm busy tonight.
Aww, that's what you said yesterday.
And the day before that.
And the day before the day before that.
It's just, we haven't hung out really long time
because you always have other plans.
Even when you promised to build
whipped-cream pyramids with me.
I know. I am sorry, Pinkie.
The reason is I have a—
Apology accepted, as long as we get
some serious sister time before your birthday.
And there's, uh, definitely no reason
I wanna hang out before your birthday.
Just, you know, not planning anything special.
Okay.
What about tomorrow morning?
Okay.
Yay! Just you and me. Best sister friends forever!
Best sister friends forever.
I can't wait for tomorrow to be today.
Tomorrow is today!
Who's ready for some fun times at Sugarcube Corner?
The answer is "you"!
I would also accept "Maud". Maud? Maud?!
Oh, I get it, we're playing Hide-and-Go-Seek!
Aha! Found you!
Where's Maud? I've already tried Discord's dimension,
Granny Smith's wax museum, and Yakyakistan!
She has to be here!
Nope, it's just me. Reading.
Story checks out.
Or does it!
It does.
But are you sure there's nopony hiding? In your closet?!
Pinkie, I don't have a closet. Is everything okay?
No. I was supposed to go birthday cake
shopping with Maud today.
And ruin her surprise party?
I wasn't gonna tell her why, silly.
But now I can't even find Maud.
I'm usually way better at Hide-and-Seek than this.
Oh, she probably just found a new rock formation
and forgot you two were gonna hang out.
Tell ya what, you take care of the cake, and I'll look for Maud.
Really? Thanks, Starlight.
Just checking.
I gotta get very important ingredients
for a very important pony's cake.
And it's gotta be tippy-top super-duper secret.
Technically, it's not your turn yet.
Oh. I'm sorry. Didn't mean to cut in front of anypony.
Um, whatcha doin'?
I am currently speaking to a pony
at a baking supply shop
two minutes before it closes for lunch.
Rrrrrright.
Okay.
Just that I'm trying to plan a party here,
and the clock is ticking,
while you, uh... what are you doing anyway?
I am currently speaking to a—
I mean, can I help you move this along?
What are you looking for?
Rolling pins, cupcake tins,
cookie cutters with tails and fins?
Goodbye.
That's what you've been standing here all this time to say?
I was deciding between "goodbye" and "see you later".
Uh... but, they're the same thing.
Technically, they're very different.
See you later implies an event
in the near future wherein we see each other.
Goodbye expresses good wishes where parting
or at the end of a conversation.
Yyyyyeah, same thing.
I will not apologize for speaking with precision.
In that case, apology not accepted.
Goodbye, later, see ya—same thing!
Can you believe that guy?
Huh?
Out to Lunch?!
Oh, come on!
No Maud, no cake, no anything!
And how annoying was that pony?
Who takes so long to say goodbye?
Or was it "see ya later"?
Now he's got me doing it!
Hello, Pinkie Pie.
Maud! Found you! My turn to hide! Hee hee!
I'm sorry I wasn't around this morning.
Oh, pssh.
What are you apologizing to me for?
I'm not upset, you silly willy.
The reason is I met somepony —
Wanna hang out right now?
I mean, I can see you're not doing anything with anypony else.
Unless they're invisible or reeeeeaaaallly small.
Pinkie, the reason I've been so busy
is that I have a boyfriend now.
A wha...?!
A boyfriend.
A wha...?!
A boyfriend.
A wha...?!
A boyfriend.
That's so exciting! My sister, in love!
Technically, we're in "like".
Tell me everything! Who is he?
What's his favorite color?
Does he like ice cream?
If he were a bird, what kind of bird would he be?
Wait. Is he actually a bird?
I don't know, because you haven't told me anything yet!
You'll like him. We have a lot in common.
Well, I love you, so I know I'm gonna love your boyfriend!
Oh, I can't wait to meet him!
You don't have to.
He's a rock And you love rocks, so it's perfect!
Is Boulder jealous?
No. Behind the rock.
Mudbriar, are you back there?
Technically, not anymore.
A wha-whaaaaaaaaa?!
Pinkie Pie, meet Mudbriar.
Technically, we've already met.
You?
Yes.
You?
Yes.
You.
Yes.
I mean, you!
You, you, you!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I'm sorry.
Let's start over.
Hi, I'm Maud's sister, Pinkie Pie.
I know.
So... how did... you two meet?
At a rock show.
You're into rocks, too?
No. I like sticks.
Then why were you at a rock show?
It was a petrified wood show, which,
technically, makes it a stick show.
Except that in the per-mineralization process of petrification,
all organic material is replaced with silicates. (i.e. rocks)
While retaining the original
structural elements of wood. (q.e.d. it was a stick show)
I'm... really into sticks, too!
They're great for hitting piñatas!
Pinkie...
Oh. You wanna go first?
That is stick abuse.
It is?
I'm sorry.
Oh, this is awful.
I'm not being a very good sister.
Let's start over.
I'm Pinkie Pie!
Nice to meet you!
Technically, we've already met.
You should introduce Pinkie to your pet.
Oh! Your pet likes fetch!
This is my pet. So no.
Look at Twiggy and Boulder playing together.
They're adorable.
It's just a stick.
Don't be rude.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
One more time.
I'm Pinkie Pie!
Nice to meet you!
Technically, we've already met.
Daaah! I don't get this guy!
Wow, Maud has a boyfriend?
How could she like someone so weird?
He has an inanimate object for a pet!
So does Maud.
Boulder has ten times the personality of some random stick!
Mudbriar, too, for that matter.
He's not like Maud at all!
Maud is hilarious, caring, friendly, and easy to talk to!
Yep, that's Maud.
But this guy is quiet, awkward, and kind of... strange.
Uh, that also sounds like Maud.
You're so funny, Starlight!
Maud is nothing like Mudbriar.
If she were, then we wouldn't be best sister friends forever.
Well, Maud obviously likes something about him.
Maybe you just need to spend more time with him.
Find out what you have in common.
That's easy, nothing!
You both care about Maud.
I know. He could help you with her party.
I guess.
And I'll keep Maud busy while you and Mudbriar plan
the best surprise birthday ever.
That I can do!
Listen, Maud's birthday is tomorrow,
and there's no time to waste.
You're not afraid of slides, are you?
No. Whyyyyyyyyyyy??!
No reason. Wheeeeeee!
Welcome to my party planning cave!
Technically, due to the speleothems growing from the ceiling,
this is more of a cavern than a cave.
Maud taught me that.
Yeah, okay.
Here's what I'm thinking for her surprise party.
Edible rock candy plates,
gem-shaped ice cubes,
a pebble piñata.
Uh... we'll skip that one.
Might I make some suggestions?
Oh. Suggest away!
That's why you're here! You and me!
Planning... together! Friends!
I have a vision board of everything Maud loves
and none of those things are on it.
Let me see this "vision board".
It's not a physical thing. I'm envisioning it.
Om, I enter through the large door
of my mind palace and enter to the back,
where I have all of my books
and possessions and what do I encounter?
The Maud room.
None of those things are there.
Just as I thought. Maud doesn't like surprises.
Where does it say that? She never told me that!
Mmm. It sounds like she was protecting your feelings.
She's very caring that way.
Stop acting like you know my sister better than me!
Technically, I never said that.
Well, technically, I don't care!
And since I've been best sister friends forever
with Maud my entire life,
I think I'm the expert here!
Oh, but fine, if you don't believe me,
let's ask her! But we have to be super-sneaky.
Can you be more specific?
No!
Huh, you must be Mudbriar!
I'm Starlight Glimmer, nice to meet you.
I've heard great things!
I'm so glad the two of you are spending time together.
So... how's it going?
Mudbriar and I have just spent the best time bonding!
And we're really starting to make some headway becoming besties,
except for one teensy-weensy disagreement
that maybe you could settle, Maud!
See, Mudbriar here seems to think that
you don't like surprise parties!
Isn't it funny how wrong he is?!
I like surprise parties...
...because I know they make you happy
when you throw them for me.
See? Wait, what?!
I'd rather just do something small with you,
Starlight, Boulder, and Mudbriar for my birthday.
No party? No party?! Did he put you up to this?!
Maybe you should consider, I don't know,
taking things a little less serious with Mudbriar
because he's kinda sort of impossible to like?!
Hey, Mudbriar, have you ever flown a kite?
Let me tell you all about it.
See, the first thing you should do is...
I just can't believe you would choose sitting around
with him over a party with your own sister!
I didn't choose either of you. Technically,
I said I wanted to be with both of you.
Technically?! Ugh, you even like the way he talks?
Everything about him makes me happy.
Then I guess you don't need a best sister
friend forever anymore.
Pinkie...
Uh, wait, let's all slow down and talk about this.
No!
See you later!
I don't understand!
How could Maud like Mudbriar?
Is it Opposite Day?
Nothing makes sense!
I'm not shy, and I hate animals!
Fashion?!
Not for me, darling!
An apple a day is downright disgusting!
Slow and steady wins the race!
I never learned to read!
What if I don't like cupcakes?!
Good morning! Oh wait. Bad morning.
Get out of bed, sis.
If you're gonna be here, you gotta work.
You're probably wondering why I came back
to the family farm in the middle of the night.
Well, it all started when—
Less talking, more farming!
It's just... Maud has a boyfriend.
I'm not jealous. Who said anything about jealous?
Don't be! He's super-duper weird!
And somehow, he tricked Maud into liking him,
and now I'll never get to see her again!
I came home because you two know her better than anypony.
What am I missing?
What does she see in him?
What does he have that I don't?!
Buck up, Pinkie Pie.
You look as miserable as I feel all the time.
It's just that I love Maud,
and I want to love Mudbriar,
but I can't see anything to like about him!
Ugh, fine! We're taking a work break, come on!
I'm looking at a sparkling bright blue and white rock.
See it?
You mean that lumpy grey one?
No, the beautiful blue and white one.
Right there.
I would not describe that as beautiful, blue,
or white, but... Okay.
Show her.
It's a geode! The outside looks like a regular rock,
but the inside is filled with beautiful gems.
So you're saying I should crack open Mudbriar like a rock!
It all makes sense! No wait, it doesn't.
It's a metaphor, Pinkie! You see Mudbriar as a rock,
but Maud sees him as a gem.
Even if you never see past his dullness,
you can see how happy he makes Maud,
and to a sister, that's all that matters.
Oh Limestone, Marble, thank you!
I don't know what I'd do without you two! Pie pile!
Okay, okay! You're crushing me to gravel, Pinkie!
I really owe Mudbriar an apology.
And I owe Maud a party!
I just hope I'm not too late!
I brought you an olive branch to say sorry.
I was really unfair to you,
and I'm ready to listen to your ideas for Maud's birthday,
if you still want to plan it together.
Technically, this isn't even an olive branch.
It's a Quercus, most likely Castaneifolia.
Oh, come on!
Sorry!
Keeping it together...!
And I love a good Quercus. Friends?
Friends! Now, do you have any ideas for the party?
There is one.
Surprise!
This is my favorite party ever.
It was all your amazing boyfriend's idea!
He said the best present would be me throwing you
a surprise party you didn't have to go to!
Technically, it wasn't her surprise,
because she could see the pre-party preparations from up here.
Technically... You're right!
