Those were birthday parties. Everypony had one of those, and even they involved more ponies attending than her current party was shaping up to have. She stormed home, stormed up the stairs, stormed over to her bed, and slammed her face into the blankets. Gummy blinked at her.
“No, Gummy. It did not go well. Everypony’s busy,” she said.
Gummy blinked again.
“They all wanted me to reschedule.”
Gummy blinked his left eye, then the right.
“Yes, I guess I can, but I still hate it. A day’s enough time, right?”
Gummy didn’t blink.
“No? You think so, too?” She lifted her head from the blankets and looked at him. “Really? But why? I think that should have been enough, and then they can just come when they’re done work. I mean, it’s not like they don’t finish work when it gets dark, and then they could have come over.”
Gummy blinked twice quickly.
“Hmmm, I see your point. So I should make it a better party?”
Gummy stared at her. Pinkie smiled.
“The best party?”
Gummy stared harder.
“A party so good they’ll stay until it’s done?” Pinkie shouted excitedly.
Gummy blinked slowly. Pinkie was vibrating with excitement.
“That’s a great idea, Gummy! A party so good they’ll arrive at the beginning, and stay until I decide it ends! With enough time to get ready for it, they’re sure to stay! A lot of advance notice! You’re a genius, Gummy!” She dashed over and hugged him tight. He just blinked. Pinkie pranced around the room, then disappeared down into the Party Cave. Gummy was left alone.
