Fourth Party Hat

[party_hard]

[A - Phone, sometime after Mrs. Johnson’s message]

Hey, everypony! I know things have been really scary lately, but it looks like things have calmed down! It’s a good thing, too! I like using the Party Cannon for parties much more than I like using it against scary guys running around trying to hurt everypony!

Anyway, my house is really empty now that all the drones are gone, but at least nopony’s calling me a dog anymore! You can all come over for a party in a few hours, if you want! I know things still look a little scary, but that’s all the more reason to throw a party to cheer up! That just means everypony really needs to have some fun!

And don’t worry if you don’t feel like getting out of the house! I know everypony needs to be cheered up in different ways, and I’m on it!

[B - Your house, sometime after that.]

[There is a knock on your door. Pinkie has decided that you and your household are in need of being cheered up. Should you choose to open it, Pinkie will be there, and she will break out into song. It’s the last bit of Smile, Smile, Smile.]

[C - 1488 Kramden, sometime after her door-to-door singing]

[If you have decided to brave going to Pinkie’s house, you will find the house sticking out like a sore thumb there on Kramden. It is festooned with streamers and balloons and all sorts of party decorations. Pinkie has delved into her stash of Emergency Party Supplies and gone all out.

The doors are wide open, so just come on in! Sorry, Belphegor. THIS IS IMPORTANT.]

C - Curses. No beaten the hell up icon for this :P

[Gen is in kind of rough shape. The fight with the zombies and hazmat guys took a toll on his body, which is still bandaged up in a few places. And when his memory returned, he'd sort of regretted giving up the Fourze Driver...though thoughts of that were replaced by worry when he had found out the truth. Worry that whoever these guys were had been capable of replicating the Driver and the switches.

But this wasn't the time to think about that stuff. He's here to have a good time with a good bud!]

Gentarou Kisaragi...reporting for PARTY!

[party_hard]

Gentarou! Come in! Come in!

[Pinkie is absolutely thrilled to see Gen, and she'll usher him inside.]

I've got cakes and cupcakes and punch and party games and confetti and streamers and LOTS of other food, and...

[She's noticed those bandages.]

Oh, are you okay? If you're hurt, I think we could put some aspirin in one of the cupcakes!

[cosmicbond]

Just hadta fight off some of the bad guys. Ummm...without my armor. I...gave it up.

[He had to remember his friends.]

[After the whole debacle, and the subsequent discovery of being a copy of herself, Hayate was in one of the biggest funk ever. She looked terrible, slumping around the house in a housecoat when the door rang.

Mmmrgh. After a minute, she hoped whoever was gone, but then curiosity won herself over and she shambled towards the door, opening it.

Oh. It was the pony girl. Or at least one of them.

And Hayate listened to a little of her song, a little smile on her face.]

Re: B

[party_hard]

[Pinkie finishes up her song and beams when she sees that little smile.]

There! Doesn't smiling make it feel better?

Re: B

[lil_tanuki]

[Hayate nodded, wiping her eyes a little.] Sorry, I... I've just had such a rough couple of months and all, like everyone but... I guess...

[Kneeling down, she wraps her arms around Pinkie Pie, and begins to cry.]

B

[nyanpire]

[Nyanpre is not to be found inside his house. Instead, he is hiding under the porch steps. The sound of Pinkie's hooves, whether walking or knocking, doesn't fail to get his attention, however.]

N...nyaa...?

[Ears drooped, eyes wide, shaken and fearful, the vampire kitten pads up behind Pinkie Pie.]

...smile?

That icon is like the most adorable thing ever

[party_hard]

[Hey there, adorable kitty friend!]

Yes! You need to keep smiling! You can't let Mayfield get you down, even when it gets really creepy and weird!

Faintly traumatized Nyanpire still has all the cutes.

[nyanpire]

I... I...

[He comes right on up to Pinkie, then butts against her foreleg.]

My... my house is quiet and... and things chased me, and all my friends are... I dunno where my friends are, and...

[He sniffles.]

I don't wannya smile.

[doudemoe]

[With all the drones gone, Minato finally has the house to himself. No kids to pester him, no wife taking up the bed. No boss to call him in to work either. Which means he's been able to sleep well...when he can.

He's been trying to focus on the positives. If all they did was copy him, that means they didn't release him from the Seal, or prevented it from occurring. Which meant his world was safe. His friends were safe.

Too bad he couldn't say the same for their copies.

A knock on the door interrupts that dark thought. For a moment, he felt tempted to ignore whoever was there...then decided the least he could do is not be a jerk in Mayfield's last days.

So he opens it and....

...yeah.]

[party_hard]

[The overly cheerful hyperactive pink pony on Minato's doorstep finally finishes up her song and just looks at him with a grin.]

Well? Come on, don't you feel like smiling?

[doudemoe]

[...It seems, code or not, he's still Minato. Because instead of being irritated like most would, he sees through that. Ironically, that does bring a small smile to his face.]

Maybe.

B

[its_decided]

[They weren't real. No drones around - especially of poor Scott. She no longer was "Nozomi Pilgrim", she could be "Nozomi Yumehara" again... or anything else, really.

She was nothing but code. The real Nozomi Yumehara and Rin Natsuki were back safe and sound in their world...]

...I can't be upset. I promised that I'd protect people's dreams. Computer or not, I'll keep going!

[At that, she goes for the door.}

It's decided, then! I'll--!

[As she opens the door, she's surprised as she sees the pink pony singing at her door.]

Huh?

[party_hard]

[Pinkie finishes up her song, doing a little dance there at the very end.]

Come on, don't you feel like smiling? It's great to smile!

[its_decided]

[Nozomi can't help but blink. Sure, her teacher was also a shapeshifting squirrel, but... then, it dawned on her - she looked like that one purple pony she met before.

Now, she couldn't leave this one waiting, could she? She broke out into the biggest smile she could muster before kneeling down to meet her head to head.]

Of course I do...! You going around and doing this with everyone?

C

[roadroller]

[Rin shows up with her guitar. She figures if anyone can help cheer people up in light of Mayfield being a simulation, it's the one who was a simulation all along, and proud of it! But it's better to do it in a place where people are volunteering to be cheered up. For some it may be too soon. But she'll put on a silly face for now.]

Did this party need a music? ♪

Re: C

[party_hard]

Yes! Every good party needs great music! Come on in!

Do you need more instruments? I have a whole PILE of them in the basement!

b ...I said I'd let him give in sometime didn't I?

[logic_and_magic]

[Perhaps he's tired. Perhaps it's the fact that he is not the true him. Or maybe it's just even his short time here has still managed to depress even his dead heart.

In any case, seeing this...spontaneous show at his door, it does crack a tiny, miniscule, micro biotic smile.]

Yes. Yes, you did. :D

[party_hard]

[Pinkie has caught that smile. It's a victory, even if it's just a tiny one.]

Hah! See? See! Smiling is great, isn't it? Makes you feel so much better inside, doesn't it?

B

[emperor_cowboy]

[He opened the door alright... and before the singing can even finish, he simply slams it shut. Yup.]

Challenge accepted, like I said. >:D

[party_hard]

[Oh, no, Hol, you don't get off that easily.

Look, there she is at the window, waving her hooves around and still singing cheerfully!]

B AND WHY DID I WRITE THIS? ;_;

[wishesforacutiemark]

[Apple Bloom hasn’t been having a pleasant few weeks. First, she had been missing Sweetie Belle a lot, as well as Rainbow Dash, Rarity. And she had been missing her home in Ponyville in general. Second, her memories had been tampered with (although she somehow managed to persuade the Postman to restore her ‘real’ ones for free). Third, she had to spend a few days hiding in the library because of the zombies and the hazmats. And when they were gone, she discovered that the drones had disappeared and therefore searched high and low for her missing drone friends.

And if that was not enough, she had just been hearing all over the phones something that confused and frightened her. She did not know exactly what was going on but she heard something about them being copies....that she was not the real Apple Bloom and someone called Zemekis had made a copy of her.

So she’s pretty miserable at the moment. Her face lights up a little when she opens the door and sees Pinkie, though]

Oh, uh....hi, Pinkie Pie. Um…how are-

[And when Pinkie suddenly bursts into song, she is stunned. Even though Pinkie was pretty weird at times, Apple Bloom really liked her cheeriness and attempts to make people cheerful. And what amazes Apple Bloom is that even Pinkie is trying to be optimistic, even in a situation like this.

Overwhelmed by this and all that’s been going on, the little filly bursts into tears]

brb drowning in poor pony feels

[party_hard]

Apple Bloom!

[Nope, this wasn't the first time someone had started crying when Pinkie started singing to everypony in town. It's harder dealing with it now because this is Apple Bloom we're talking about! It's hitting Pinkie a little harder than some of the other criers she's dealt with today. She's going in for a quick hug.]

Hey, it's okay, it's okay! Sometimes, you've just got to get it all out!

B - 458 Stone Street

[a_clockwork_melody]

[Keywords sorta relevant.

There's a pink creature on four legs, two raised like a human, singing. She's only talked on the phone with one before, coincidentally the same one that was at the church earlier on, but that one was purple with a different mane. This is the first of their kind that's directly approached Aurica like this.

After having opened the door and heard the singing through, there's no response, yet after a moment she bends down, hands on knees, to try and meet the pony at eye level. There is something of a smile forming on her face, though she's more trying to figure Pinkie Pie out with an assertive curiosity.]

Re: B - 458 Stone Street

[party_hard]

[And Pinkie will just grin widely in response when Aurica gets down at eye level.]

Hi, there!
